  • Genetically Modified (GMO) or BioEngineered (BE)

    With the mandatory US food labeling implemented in 2022, many consumers are uninformed about the political debacle over Bioengineered and Genetically modified products. Food companies are going to courts protesting these mandatory labeling requirements. These over-due regulations directly affect your life and health.

  • MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370

    Next time you watch the flight attendants doing their silly demo; pay attention. What they are not telling you – you have about five seconds to put that oxygen mask over your mouth before you will pass out…

  • NESTLE FAILED TO PATENT A TCM WISDOM

    When Nestlé tries to patent TCM wisdom… Nestlé is a Swiss multinational food and drinks processing conglomerate. In a paper published last year, Nestlé scientists claimed they had “discovered” what much of the world has known for millennia: That Nigella sativa extract (fennel seeds) could be used for “nutritional interventions in humans with food allergy.” Nestle failed to…

  • BUCKET LIST # 17 – with a Temp Agency in California…

  • MY TCM RECIPES – I’M MY OWN RESOURCE

    I have a ton of books all strewn around in my apartment – and weekly linger around in the libraries between North Hollywood and West Hollywood.

  • THE LIMITATION IN FREEDOM OF SPEECH

    Employees in private industry have no legal rights to freedom of speech. Simply; as a private citizen who is not in the public eye, the law extends a lesser degree of constitutional protection to the Managers statements at issue.

  • YOU HAVE TO LIE & HATE GAYS IF YOU RUN ON THE RNC TICKET

    Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s view, lecturing with a quote of the Declaration of Independence, after winning fourth place in Saturday’s Iowa Straw Poll hit a nerve: He lied about gays to appear likable to the RNC…
