Mental Health for Today’s Teens
Mental illnesses are affecting many people in modern society. Once reason is the fact that contemporary society focuses more on material things and less on building healthy relationships.

Do You Believe More Vaccines or Better Nutrition Prevents Disease?
Conclusion
Tremendous government financial and medical resources are wasted on the development of more vaccinations to prevent diseases. No research has proven the effectiveness of vaccinations in preventing illness. Overwhelming evidence exists to show vaccines are dangerous to health and contribute to illness, injury and death.
To prevent disease, one should avoid vaccinations, mercury dental fillings and toxic food. Following a nutrient-dense diet of whole, organic foods and removing toxic metals from the body are the best avenues to try and prevent illness and enhance health.

New York Times Attack on ADHD Treatment: The Treatment as the Disease
In a much discussed New York Times story on the explosion of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses, reporter Alan Schwarz writes that 15 percent of high school kids now have a diagnosis, and the number of children on medication to treat it has grown to 3.5 million, up from only 600,000 in 1990. "The disorder is now the second most frequent long-term diagnosis made in children, narrowly trailing asthma, according to a New York Times analysis of C.D.C. data," Schwarz writes.

I’d like to say there’s something about this time of year that turns me into a holiday angel radiating hope, wonder and peace. That’s the way I think the holidays should make me feel. But I’m usually filled with anxiety, regret, disappointment and stress.
The temptation to indulge in food and drink that make me feel less than. The busy-ness of the season, the expectation of perfection, the weather change, the desire to please, the numerous gatherings with family and friends are all opportunities to fail and fail miserably.
By the new year, I’m exhausted and compiling a list of resolutions sure...

I used to have a life coach and whenever I would unsuccessfully attempt to muster sympathy for an unsympathetic friend or relative, she would challenge me to rethink my perspective. In other words, she called me on my victim playing. This happened particularly during the holiday season when love, parties and gift giving were all squished into a month long of forced happiness and joy.
She would always tell me the same thing. You can’t keep going to the fish market to get chicken. Meaning I had to stop trying to get support from the unsupportive person and compassion from the un-compassionate. To continue to do so was ...
