Dear Pain,      For seven years now, you and I have fought. I grit my teeth at you and I do my best to beat you on a daily basis. Finally, you have won the battle. In my running career I covered 14,300 miles. I raced everything from the mile to the Marathon, posting a mile best...

Hello my spiritual friend, As touched upon last week, this is a moment we readily recall and celebrate, for it shall not happen again. I am also, as perhaps you are, aware of those who become depressed during the holidays, in particular, Christmas time.  Now for those of you who are under the...

Sorry I've been scarce; I've started on three new medications for various problems within the last two weeks, and they've pretty much kicked my butt through a wall. If I don't feel better by Christmas I'm having my body amputated.   SLIGHTLY OFF THE MARK        ...

My wife Ann and I were planning to see the play The Vigil at the Mark Taper Forum when two hours before the performance, she said her stomach was suddenly queasy.

Let's get the bad news out of the way first: There's no quick fix for chronic fatigue. It is typically a level of depletion that results from draining your energy reserves over a period of time. It requires a commitment to refuel and restore your vitality. But the good news is that there are...

I’ve heard that when you crave sugar what you really need is protein. It’s unfortunate to be addicted to refined white sugar and all the myriad of products it’s listed in.

Edirne, 7/11/2011 — It has been cloudy and chilly in this dusty city where Turkey's Thracian province reaches out to touch Bulgaria and Greece, a quiet day, the second day of the Kurban Bayramı or "Festival of the Sacrifice," and many businesses are closed. Merely by looking at a map, even...
