past substance world
I know of no culture in the world at present or any time in the past that has not been heavily involved with one or more psychoactive substances.
medicine drug emergencies
I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency.
profound vision alive
Another aspect of the psychedelic vision for me that has been very profound, is the sense that every-thing is alive or at that at least, there is no distinction between what we call living and non-living.
beautiful flower home
A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women, but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty, fragrance, and the lift they give our spirits.
running effort rewards
If the only way you could read an email was to run a mile first, the urge would quickly die. Human beings constantly do subconscious effort/reward calculations. Tapping a screen is the easiest of physical tasks.
giving challenges humanity
Giving gifts to others is a fundamental activity, as old as humanity itself. Yet in the modern, complex world, the particulars of gift-giving can be extraordinarily challenging.
country facts would-be
I find that low protein diets often contribute to improvement in patients with immune system problems ... In fact, it would be hard to become deficient in protein in our country even if you tried.
doctors
It's rare - too rare, I have to say - for botanists to become doctors.
medicine support vitamins
I don't get money from the vitamins that I make. My after tax profits go to a foundation that supports integrative medicine.
ill-health breathing causes
Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health.
healing hands breathing
There's no limit to what working with the breath can accomplishmy own first-hand experiences with this natural healing method have convinced me that breathing well may be the master key to good health. I recommend breath work to all my patients.
sleep light mind
Shorter daylight hours can affect sleep, productivity and state of mind. Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, may help. It uses light boxes emitting full-spectrum light to simulate sunlight.
heart nuts risk
True, nuts are high in fat, but most of them contain monounsaturated fat that is good for the heart. In fact, eaten in moderation, nuts can lower your risk of heart disease and heart attack.
ideas modern should
The notion that a human being should be constantly happy is a uniquely modern, uniquely American, uniquely destructive idea.
