"In movies with war themes, it is frequently the Marines who come to the rescue; in disease, it is just as frequently fresh and cooked vegetables which do the same thing. There is usually no need to rely on drugs. It must be remembered that all drugs are chemicals; the same chemicals in organic form are found in vegetables and other foodstuffs."

How to get Sick

Use artificial sweeteners and avoid sugars.

"As bad as sugar can be in its various forms, artificial sweeteners are worse! Some are downright deadly because of their carcinogenic properties and their use in such high-volume products as diet soft drinks and sugar-free foods. Chief among sinners is aspartame, which is marketed as NutraSweet or Equal. Renowned diabetes expert Dr. H. J. Roberts believes there is a clear scientific link between aspartame and increased incidence of brain tumors, seizure disorders, chronic headaches, and hyperactivity in children. As for saccharin, the cancer-causing labels that accompany its use still apply. The newcomer on the block is sucralose (used in Splenda), but the jury of scientific research still seems to be awaiting further testimony on this one. (If the Maker didn't produce it "as is" then it probably isn't much better than the other synthetic sugar substitutes.)

Motion is Life

"Yes You Can Plan" check! Ok, you should be running most of the time for at least 25 minutes by now. Don't worry if you still need to take walk breaks throughout, that's fine. Just keep moving!

Okay...just wanted to let you know I'm in the middle of a couple of really busy weeks. I'll be back soon for more talk on how you can't just "run it off." Popular thinking that you can eat whatever you want and as long as you're exercising you don't need to worry....NOT!!!!
