How many presscription ...?

Brittany Murphy

 (Natural News) The entire pharmaceutical industry is based on the idea that for whatever's wrong with you, there's a patented chemical pill that can make it better. Feeling some anxiety? There's a pill for that. Have high blood pressure? There's a pill for that, too. Suffering from sleepless nights? There's yet another pill for that, too.

Importantly, modern medicine and the pharmaceutical industry both believe there is no limit to how many prescription medications you can simultaneously take. If you have ten health problems, they've got ten different pills for you. And when those pills cause twenty different dangerous side effects, they're ready for twenty more prescriptions for you to dutifully swallow.

This idea that health is achieved by taking prescription chemicals is ludicrous from the start. And yet it's the foundation of the pharmaceutical industry. Take as many pills as you "need", they insist. Don't worry: They're all FDA approved!

Treasures of Friendship

Letters from the Heart

Sometimes it’s hard to come straight out and tell our friends how much we love and appreciate them. We might feel awkward expressing deep feelings, even to our nearest and dearest, because it is not a common practice. We might get choked up or embarrassed in the process, or we might fear we will embarrass them. Still, we all have those moments when we realize how fortunate we are to have the friends we have, and we may long to express our gratitude. Moreover, it may be of tremendous benefit to our friends to be at the receiving end of our appreciation. At times like these, writing a letter can help us say what we want to say without feeling self-conscious. Additionally, a letter gives your friend the space to really take in your expression of love and the gift of being able to return to it time and again.

As you sit down to write to your friend, take a moment to consider the qualities you most value in your friendship. It might be the fact that you always laugh when you talk or that you feel safe enough to confess your worst problems and always leave feeling better about everything. It might be the new ideas and experiences you’ve been exposed to throughout the course of your friendship. Whatever it is, really take the time to express to your friend their unique impact on your life. You don’t have to use big words or fancy metaphors; all you need to do is write from your heart and your friend will feel the love in the words.

Letters, which used to be somewhat common, are now rare. A handwritten letter makes a wonderful gift to be treasured always. You might simply send it or hand deliver it out of the blue. Whatever you choose, your letter will no doubt be received and treasured with a grateful heart.

Aging and the raw diet

Sure, aging is a natural fact of life, but who says you can’t look good while you do it? As you might have guessed, one of the best ways to counteract visible signs of aging is to take proper care of your skin. Aside from the obvious ways of keeping your skin looking young like keeping it moisturized, using a quality face cream, and protecting it from the sun, you may want to also consider the “raw diet”.

You are what you eat! While this may not literally be the case, you know very well what it means. The food you ingest into your body has a direct physical effect and in many cases also a psychological effect. Your skin is no exception to this rule.

Recently, celebrities Donna Karan and Carol Alt have endorsed the raw diet, bringing it into the public eye and causing it to rapidly grow in popularity. However, this isn’t some sort of self-depraving Hollywood diet. It’s simply a highly effective diet that focuses on overall health and well being, as well as anti-aging!

As the name implies, the raw diet consists mainly of raw foods. Ideal foods are those which have not undergone any processing and that have not been cooked. Organic foods should be used whenever possible.
