Lyme Disease: You Can Get Bitten in the City & Country: Learn About this Controversial Infectious Disease With “Under Our Skin” Creators

/

I’m concerned. People quickly reading this New York Daily News article may falsely conclude that you can only get Lyme disease in wooded or rural areas in Connecticut, New Jersey, Long Island and Westchster County.
That’s not true. You can get “Bitten in the City,” which is what happened to me last year at this time. (You can learn about Lyme disease and my horrible experiences in last year’s radio show.)
In my opinion, a lot more than 538 New Yorkers got Lyme disease last year. You see, many people have this disease but don’t know it, because doctor’s often misdiagnose Lyme disease as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc.)
Anyhow, of course, there’s truth to the statement that “city dwellers have less exposure to ticks,” as Dr. David David P. Calfee of Mount Sinai tells reporter Katie Charles, but it’s false that “Rocky Mountain fever is the only disease known to be transmitted in all five boroughs.”
Incidentally, because of my experiences with Lyme disease, I’m now inspired to write a book about it. “Bitten in the City: Facts & Fallacies about Lyme Disease” is the working title for this book.
Tune in July 14 to my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show for a special show about Lyme disease in which I talk with Andy Abrahams Wilson, director/producer of the poignant documentary, “Under Our Skin.”

Sugar Addiction Could Lead to Macular Degeneration

/

As my book SUGAR SHOCK! reveals, eating too many sweets and refined carbs leads to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity and many other illnesses.
But did you know that a diet high in sugary foods can also make you blind?
Yes, high-sugar diets can significantly contribute to vision impairment. In particular, you can get Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), which is now the # 1 cause for vision loss in the United States.
The following is a post that was contributed by LensShopper.com.
Sugar Addiction Could Trigger Macular Degeneration by Anders Wedin, OD.
Research shows that excessive sugar consumption is a contributing factor to AMD. At Tufts University, 4,000 people between 55 and 80 years old were studied to test the alleged connection. The results strongly indicated that high blood sugar levels increased the risk of AMD.

Michael Jackson: Did Drugs Do Him In?

/

Like millions of fans, I’m filled with sadness about Michael Jackson’s sudden death.
What caused his cardiac arrest and untimely death at age 50?
Speculation now abounds that daily Demerol injections of other drugs led to his demise.
For instance, People delves into the topic, as does Fox, which reports about his daily injections.
Dr. Kevin Pho also talks about the drug connection on his KevinMD blog.
Thankfully, some nice tributes also are popping up all over, such as this one on the Huffington Post from Deepak Chopra, who was a friend.

Crush Your Cravings

Delay to Conquer Sugar, Caffeine & Other Unhealthy Cravings

/

Often, readers of my book SUGAR SHOCK!, participants in my Break Free programs or fans on Facebook want to know, “How do I kick sugar, caffeine or other bad habits? This is so hard!”
I feel empathy, compassion and sadness for these people, because at varying times in my life, I’ve been there myself, battling a host of bad habits, including addiction to sugar, refined carbs, diet soda, coffee, cigarettes and sugar-less gum.
Over the years, I’ve developed numerous tactics to conquer counter-productive routines, but in 1998, while quitting sweets and refined carbs on doctor’s orders, I came up with my best techniques.
In my book SUGAR SHOCK!, I share my Top 21 Sweet Sugar-Free Success Secrets and Strategies (plus a few more). Now, I’d like to share one tactic, which can be effective to help you conquer sugar, caffeine and other unhealthy cravings. Here’s an article I wrote to help you learn this invaluable technique.
Just Delay to Squash Your Sugar, Caffeine & Other Unhealthy Cravings
Creatively Procrastinate Your Way Out of Your Addictions
By Connie Bennett, M.S.J., C.H.H.C.
Quite often, people who want to kick sugar, curtail caffeine, stop drinking diet soda, lose weight or manage their diabetes ask me: “How can I conquer my cravings for these substances? Once I start, I just can’t help myself.”
One of the most powerful and potent strategies is so simple that you’ll wonder why you never tried it in the first place. Simply DELAY before you do anything – especially something that you’ll later regret.
Think about it: Most of us are pretty darn good at delaying or procrastinating, right?
You know how you keep putting off organizing your desk drawers, cleaning the house, giving your boss that proposal, helping your kids with their homework, donating old clothes or taking out the garbage? Clearly, we all have things we’ve been planning on doing but never got around to doing.
While quitting a bad habit such as a sugar addiction, I’ve found that you can actually transform delaying into something that’s fun, clever and positive. In other words, procrastinating can be a good thing — even wonderful.
