June 29th, 2010 · 10:13 AM

June 25th, 2010 · 8:27 AM
I am a 55 yr old woman with multiple health issues, chiefly diabetes and allergies (food and other.) I am currently being treated (read drugged) by the VA clinic in my state.

June 23rd, 2010 · 10:26 AM
Even when I am full after a meal, I still crave sweets. What can I do to reduce the need for chocolate cake or anything sweet?

Shopping at the Periphery of the Store
June 15th, 2010 · 8:24 AM
Here’s my question. By shopping “on the periphery of the store,” do you mean we shouldn’t eat organic foods? What about V-8 juice? Yesterday I had corn and it tasted like chlorine. I had boiled it in tap water. Where do we draw the line?
