The past several years created major challenges and narrowed my outside contacts, leaving me a recluse and struggling… Continue

Did you "Get Motivated" at today's Seminar?

Today's forecast had me dreaming of a day off work and heading to the lake! Instead of pursuing my ideal summer day, I followed through on my commitment to attend the Get Motivated Seminar at the Spokane Arena. Against my nature I woke up early and headed downtown. Being a junkie for motivational speakers, I knew I'd enjoy the day, but today exceeded my expectations.

General Colin Powell was a class act. I was very inspired by his talk on Leadership and more so by his…

vitamin E treatment improves liver damage in fatty liver disease

To quote a recent study, "Vitamin E treatment is associated with an

The chief of liver diseases at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City stated, "I

and, more important, to develop very potent antioxidants."

NAFLD is the most common liver disease among… Continue
