There’s A Link Between Diet and Depression

Posted: February 28th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

If you’re a television watcher, you know that you are going to see at least a half dozen commercials every night, selling drugs to deal with depression. In one two-hour segment last week, I counted seven spots for depression, five for ED and two for arthritis. In most cases, there’s a lot of blue sky being sold.

The ads all say, “Just take this pill and all your problems will go away.” Then they spend the other forty five seconds listing the side effects, which ought to be enough to scare anyone off. None of these ads suggest that there just might be some other factors in play.

Depression is a warning that your body is not functioning properly, that something is off kilter. For instance, many cardiac patients suffer from depression. It’s because their heart isn’t functioning exactly as it should. In countries where fish is a major part of the diet, depression is much lower than in this country (as is heart disease).

In 2009, the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reported that heart disease patients with depression have lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids. The report indicated that raising the level of omega-3 fatty acids (with fish oil) helped to prevent depression and adverse cardiovascular events.

The Mayo Clinic reports that fish oil supplements, used alone, or with traditional medicine, may treat depression effectively. Right at this moment, the National Institute of Health reports that there are 14 ongoing clinical trials studying the use of fish oil to treat depression.

Studies are also underway on perinatal depression and fish oil, which affects about 15% of all women who give birth. Many doctors already believe that fish oil reduces anxiety during pregnancy.

But beyond this, many health professionals believe that the constant consumption of junk food has many adverse health effects and depression is just one of them.

Small changes can yield big health dividends. One reader dipped his toe in the water and gave up his beloved Mountain Dew. He lost thirty pounds over the next 90 days and his constipation dissappeared. He drank Mountain Dew for the buzz, or what he thought was energy, and now that he doesn’t drink it anymore, he has energy to burn. (And certainly the weight loss helps.)

Everyday, something new and beneficial, is discovered about fish oil. And with an ultra pure formulation, like mine, you’re in much better shape than the average bear.

Still, that doesn’t stop ill informed jackasses, like Senator John McCain, from trying to take what works away from you. McCain is busy sponsoring a bill that would put the government in charge of supplements and deciding what’s good and what’s not. I’ve always thought McCain was a snake oil salesman and this proves it. He’s up for re-election in November and if you have some extra money…I’d suggest you send it to his primary opponent, J.D. Hayworth, a real conservative, who understands the concept of limits on Federal authority.


It’s A Scientific Fact Jack

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

To quote the great American writer and humorist, Mark Twain, “Be careful about reading healthcare bills, you may die of a misprint.” That just about sums up the Obamacare bills being rushed to the floors of both houses of Congress.

Polls taken yesterday indicated that although Obama got a small bounce after his hour long harangue last week, that bounce has evaporated, and the public is squarely against whatever it is that the Democrats are proposing. I say whatever it is, because no one in Congress seems to know what’s in any of the four pieces of legislation, making their way around the capitol.

But even if they haven’t read the bill (and they haven’t), Democrats are sure this will cure whatever ails us as a nation, and to hell with what it costs, and how much more bureaucracy they create as a result (oh, and by the way, if you’re over 55, having paid into the system for your entire life, you’ll get the least care). Obama can cry all he wants to about the big bad insurance companies, but what he isn’t telling you is that with the government in charge, there won’t be anyone to cry to. (Unless, of course, they happen to answer the phone during their Monday-Friday 8-4 shift, whereupon they will quote you some obscure regulation no.1234.765, paragraph 2, line 6, which states, “You’re screwed!”).

Which brings us to a single irrefutable scientific fact: “For very year Democrats spend in Washington, they lose 5 points of their IQ.”

By way of example, Speaker Pelosi was sent to Washington in 1987, some 22 years ago. At the time her IQ was generously estimated at 148, quite high by Congressional standards. Most Democratic seats are held by those who scored in the high 80’s to low 100’s. So it was only natural that Pelosi rose to the top of a large vat of stale brew.

So now lets put the science to work.

Pelosi’s incoming IQ:       148
# of years in Congress:      22

22 x 5  =  110
 
IQ                                    148
22 years in Washington    -110

New IQ Score                     38
 
Congress Approval Rating    22%

As you can see, science explains everything.

What could change all this is a heavy dose of my Powerhouse Omega Formula, which is a great help in keeping the brain in tip top shape, even if you live in, or near Washington. My ultra pure, deep water, small fish formula, with an enteric coating, to prevent fish burps or aftertaste, would go a long way toward repairing the obviously damaged brain cells in the District of Columbia. Maybe somebody could even pass some along to the President, who also seems not to know what’s in his own bill.

The trouble with the President is that he lacks the power of real popular ideas, but not the power of speech. He has made over 30 major speeches on healthcare, since he has taken office, and the more he speaks, the worse the poll numbers get. It is exceedingly clear that the American people do not want what he is selling.

I’m not saying that my Powerhouse Omega Formula would solve all his problems, but it might help him recognize that this turkey is something that a couple of gallons of gravy won’t save.


The Top Ten Lessons From The Movies

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

I have this theory that the reason that the country is in such a pickle today is…the movies. That’s right. We spend entirely too much time watching the unreal and many of us end up believing what’s up there on the big screen. So today, I have to bring you ten lessons that we have learned, by wasting our time and money on Hollywood.

1.)  It is always possible to park directly outside any building you are visiting.

2.)  A detective can only solve a case, once he’s been suspended from duty.

3.)  Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems of any invading civilization.

4.)  It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial artists. Your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one, by dancing around in a threatening manner, until you have knocked out their predecessors.

5.)  When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, they never get a concussion, or brain damage.

6.)  No one involved in a car chase, hijacking, expolsion, volcanic eruption, or alien invasion will ever go into shock.

7.)  Any lock can be picked by a credit card, or a paper clip, in seconds, unless it’s a door to a burning building, with a child trapped inside.

8.)  An electric fence, powerful enough to kill a dinosaur, will cause no lasting damage to an eight year old child.

9.)  During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club, at least once.

10.)  Talking scarecrows, lions and great wizards of emerald cities exist, and there is no paperwork involved, if your house lands on a witch.

I’ll close with the words of the late, great George Burns, who said, “Acting is all about honesty. If you can fake that…you’ve got it made.”


Hall Of Famer With No Grace Or Class

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

Over the weekend, Michael Jordan was inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame, along with C. Vivian Stringer, John Stockton, and David Robinson. Tickets sold for $1000 a piece and they were almost impossible to get. The speeches by the aforementioned Stringer, Stockton and Robinson were uplifting, gracious, and funny.

Then came the main act, the man everybody paid big money to see.

He was introduced as “the greatest basketball player ever.”

When he was finished, he was still “the greatest basketball player, ever.” But what happened in those 25 minutes he spoke was disgraceful and nobody will hold him in high esteem, ever again, although he had plenty of apologists in the media, who tried to cover up his colossal blunder. In short, he was what the British call a bore.

He was unprepared.

He was ungrateful.

He was insulting.

He was petty.

He was altogether worthy of getting the hook, if there had been one around.

He trashed a high school teammate. He trashed his high school coach. He trashed Dean Smith. He trashed Jerry Krause, the Chicago Bulls owner. He trashed several other NBA players. He trashed the philosophy of having a good organization. As far as he was concerned, it was all about him, all the time. He even trashed his own kids, saying, “I wouldn’t want to be you.”

When I was a kid, my hero was Mickey Mantle. I had a whole wall of Yankee photos, all signed by the players. But I had at least 20 of Mickey, in every pose you could think of, and that didn’t count the ones of him and Roger Maris, or him and Yogi, or him and Billy Martin and Whitey Ford. I remember vividly when he retired.

In 1981, I was eating in a restaurant in Philadelphia, and who should sit down at the next table but Mickey Mantle. The only problem was that he was drunk and extremely obnoxious. A lot of air went out of his balloon that day. I was so disappointed that I couldn’t put it into words. Some of the lustre was restored, years later, when he quit booze and apologized for how he had acted, while drinking. But he only lived a little less than a year after that pronouncement. I had to blink back the tears the day he died, too.

Jordan’s problem isn’t booze, it’s ego. Many NBA Hall of Famers were disgusted with Jordan’s speech and attitude. They felt it reflected badly on the game, and on Jordan, who was still trying to settle scores, some of them decades old. One apologist suggested that since he wasn’t getting paid, this is what you get.

That may be the truth, but if it is…it is pretty sad. In essence what he’s saying is…if you pay Jordan money, he’ll put on a happy face. If not…expect to get the A–hole he really is. Michael…I guess we hardly knew you.


Three Things Nobody Needs In Their Life

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

I was talking with a friend over the weekend, Saturday to be exact, when he said said something that cracked me up. We were just commenting on this and that, as is our fashion, when out of the blue he says, “There’s three things I don’t need in my life: the Taliban, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), and Dallas Cowboys fans. And of the three, the last one could be the worst.”

It dawned on me that football season had arrived, and before the day ended, I had watched almost all of three college games, finally calling it quits after Ohio State defeated Southern Cal. I’m telling you, if I wasn’t taking my Powerhouse Omega Formula:

https://www.favoriteformulas.com

…and Heart Charging Formula, (CoQ10):

http://www.favoriteformulas.com/CoQ10formula

…I don’t think I could have accomplished such a feat.

Now, it wasn’t until the Buckeyes and Trojans started playing that all the great sex commercials started. One of the commercials started with a couple tossing various objects away, until the man gave up his remote control, and they started dancing in the living room. Now…the only way that was going to happen Saturday night, during that game, was as a television fantasy (because we all know that no real man would do that, with such a big game on the line… especially with a chance for Southern Cal to get a win, in the last two minutes). The same thing could have been said for the Notre Dame – Michigan game, earlier in the afternoon.

I don’t care how many Viva’s are being sung, and by the way…that is one squirrelly tune. I don’t ever think I’ve heard a real man humming it and certainly wouldn’t know what to think, if I did.

About six weeks ago, I introduced my own erection protection product, based on the same science as all those bababillion dollar pharmaceuticals, and it has done pretty well. In fact, in terms of sales, it’s only about 10% behind the fish oil, and many men are obviously taking both:

They’re taking it…because as one of my partners likes to say…”Nobody has a problem in that department.” In fact, he likes to start conversations about my formula (MegaRex), by saying, “I know nobody here has this kind of problem, but I thought I would just tell you about this…in case you know somebody who could use some help.”

Then, we mysteriously get a boatload of orders from people who weren’t in the room, where it was talked about. And then, they keep ordering the product, for the problem they don’t have. It’s an absolute conundrum and I’m just not smart enough to figure it out.

I also wasn’t smart enough to get enough points to win my bet on the Giants – Redskins game. It’s a good thing it’s only going to cost me a dinner. And my friend is going to have to listen to a whole lot of heckling this week, as the Cowboys won their opener.

But having the Taliban and the ACLU to stomp on isn’t all bad.


Biscuits Sausage Gravy and Other Heart Healthy Food

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

As many of you know, I worked as a cook many moons ago and I recently sat on a plane, next to a truly gracious southern gentleman, who also happened to be a chef. We had a rollicking discussion, about about what constituted “real southern” food, and settled on biscuits and sausage gravy, as one of the classics.

Another friend of mine, who also happens to be a chef, had this discussion with me today, over breakfast, at a place we both like. I was eating healthy and he was eating “the usual,” which is biscuits, sausage gravy, eggs over easy, hash browns, grits and a gigantic cinnamon roll. The funny thing thing is, even after my weight loss (now slightly over 50 lbs), he is still smaller than I am.

But what was funny was his story about making authentic sausage gravy. It’s funny, in a heart attack kind of way. When he was a kid in southern Alabama, he learned to make the real deal, from a very large black woman, who cooked at his family’s farm. He says that he learned more about cooking from her than in culinary school, or from other chefs, and still consults with her today, when he gets home. She’s in her 80’s, now.

Now, I have to admit that I have eaten biscuits and sausage gravy on occasion and I was actually fond of the dish. However, living in New York didn’t give me the opportunity to eat it very often, so I indulged, mainly whenever I traveled south.

My friend says he was 10 or 11 when he watched her make the make biscuits, for the first time and then, move on to the sausage gravy. Biscuits were made with lard and White Lilly flour, those two ingredients being key to true southern biscuits. Then, they were slathered with butter.

Sausage gravy started by rendering bacon fat, another staple of southern cuisine. Then, onions were added to the fat and cooked down. Then, sausage was added and browned and flour sprinkled over all that, to make a roux, to which cream was added, along with black pepper and hot sauce. His eyes lit up, describing the process and how it tasted. Especially over the biscuits.

He went on to tell about being out somewhere in southern Pennsylvania, with a friend, and seeing a sign that said biscuits and gravy. They braked hard and went into the place and ordered. The biscuits and gravy were almost exactly like what he ate as a kid. It turns out the cook was also Alabama, born and bred, and had been taught to make the sausage gravy, exactly like he had.

These days, very few people make the dish that way, which is why I don’t order it. Now, it may be that thousands of lives have been saved and fewer people have had heart attacks. But every few years, it wouldn’t hurt to eat it the way God intended, with bacon fat, onions, sausage, lard, cream and some eggs, to wash it down. And maybe a fried pork sandwich, to go.

I’m not positive, but I have information from a reliable source that you can get this breakfast plate in heaven.

If you can get there before Elvis.

The thing with losing weight is, nobody is perfect, or can follow a very rigid diet, for very long. So every now and then, you eat whatever you want and give yourself absolution, along with a couple of extra soft gels of my Powerhouse Omega Formula, to ease that stuff on down the road. Then you get back to your regular routine and life goes on.

It’s not what you do at one breakfast, or one lunch, or one dinner. It’s what you do most of the time that counts. If you eat well most of the time, exercise most of them time and take my Powerhouse Omega Formula.

…You can take a meal off, every now and then.

And tell the cook how good the real sausage gravy is.


Green Food Is A Terrific Healer

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

Before I get to today’s topic, I have to tell you a great joke I heard, which relates to the current health care debate.

A young military veteran went to an employment office looking for work.

He filled out all the forms and was interviewed by someone from the office. He was told that he was well qualified for a position and that he could interview for the job in the morning. He was given a name, an address, and a phone number, with a time to report for his interview.

He showed up at the appointed time and was ushered into an office, where a distinguished gentleman asked him a number of questions. The gentleman appeared to appreciate his answers, and asked him whether he had ever been in the military. “Yes sir!” he said, “I was was just discharged, about 30 days ago.”

“Well,” the gentleman said, “That just about seals the deal. Did you receive disability?”

“Yes sir,” he replied, “I received 100% disability, upon discharge.”

“May I ask why?” the gentleman said.

“Certainly,” said the young man. “In a firefight, I had my balls shot off.”

The gentleman made a notation on his pad, and then said, “You’re hired. The hours are 8AM-5PM, Monday through Friday. You can come in at 10 AM.”

The young man thought for a minute, and then said, “Excuse me sir, but you said the hours are 8 to 5, but you told me to come in at 10. Why is that?”

“Well son,” he said, “You’re going to be working for the government. For the first two hours, we don’t do anything except drink coffee and scratch our balls and there’s no reason for you to be here.”

So that’s why the government can’t save money.

Back to the green food. There is increasing evidence that green food is particularly healthy. That doesn’t mean to eat ONLY green food. You should continue to eat the rainbow, but you should try to get a little more green in your diet.

The easiest way to do this is in smoothies. You can drink a smoothie as a meal, or as a snack, and they’re easy to make, once you have the ingredients and a good blender.

I’m going to give you a couple of recipes here to get you started getting a little more green.

Here you go:

Green Gopher

2 bananas
1 apple
1 pear
1 cup of kale
1/4 water (or more if needed)

Place all ingredients in the blender and run until smooth.
Parsmoothie

2 cups fresh parsley (stem and all)
1 Fuji apple
1 banana
2 dates
2 ounces fresh lemon juice

Place all ingredients in the blender and run until smooth.

You’ll notice this isn’t juicing, where many of the key nutrients get left behind. By using a blender you can use almost everything, except the roots and unpalatable cores (for instance…I would core an apple but leave the peel ON).

By combining super food with my Powerhouse Omega Formula, you are going to get a very synergistic effect and one that is of great benefit to you.

Between the ultra pure fish oil and the super greens, your body is going to have all the gas it needs to fuel repair work, on a large scale.


Tip The Canoe And The Teleprompter Too

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

We’re less than twenty four hours from the most important speech the Obamessiah has ever delivered, and he had better hope that his best friend, the esteemed Mr. Teleprompter, is in fabulous working order. Mr. Teleprompter had better have a better idea, and maybe even some solid facts and figures to match, not just the disturbing fantasy, concocted by an out of touch Congress that we don’t need and certainly can’t afford.

Over the weekend, FOX News played footage from yet another Democratic town hall meeting, this time in upstate New York. The Democratic representative would not allow the event to be filmed by a young female college student, because in his words, “This is MY meeting, and I make the rules.” And then he repeated the ill chosen words a few more times, while his thugs pulled the microphone from the young woman.

The last time I checked, town hall meetings were not owned by anyone, especially an elected representative, who serves at the will of the people. They are by design, public meetings, and since we saw the footage, obviously some people had cameras rolling.

One thing we all know by now is that the proposed health care plan is a turkey and the Obamessiah made a grave error, by letting the far left lunatics of the party design the proposals. But what people forgot last Fall, in the rush to send old “double ewe” out of town on a rail, was who the Obamessiah really is. He is, himself, a far left loon, who promised to govern from the center. That promise has long been forgotten, no matter how much speechifying the President does.

Obama may not be a communist, but his admiration for fellow travelers around the globe and at home is starting to annoy what is called the Great Silent Majority. They voted for change, but they didn’t vote to turn the country and the economy over to a bunch of arm chair quarterbacks, who couldn’t get the call right on Monday, with instant replay.

The salvation of this country is business and it’s time for Obama to stop demonizing every industry in the country. It’s business which provided him with the money to lay down a cool $35,000 for a week on Martha’s Vineyard, while unemployment hit 10%…and is expected to get higher.

Here’s Rule #1:  The government can actually make a bad situation worse.

The American people know this, because they participate in the system on a daily basis. They know that there has never been a government program that actually saved money, or that was well run. The other thing they know is that if there is an opportunity to steal money from a program, Congress will do it. That’s why people laugh when Congressmen say things like Social  Security Trust Fund. There ain’t no trust and there ain’t no money in the fund…because Congress stole the money.

One thing these scoundrels can’t steal is your health (at least, not yet). You still can make smart choices that will keep you living, just to piss these people off. I aim to live to be 100 and to spend a good amount of that time making these nincompoops miserable. That’s 38 more years by my count and I think I’ll get to see a good number of these no account politicians laid to rest, before me. That’s because I know a few things they don’t and I’m not letting them in on the secret. But you can get started on your plan to live to be 100, by taking my Powerhouse Omega Formula, an ultra pure, deep water fish oil, which can do wondrous things for the body.

Remember, the Powerhouse Omega Formula is the pharmaceutical grade fish oil with an enteric coating, which insures that your breath doesn’t end up smelling like the Fulton Fish Market, in August. When you swallow my fish oil, it travels all the way to the small intestine, before dissolving, which means that it can’t change its mind and travel back up the pipe. Most every other version dissolves in the stomach, where it can be burped back up, which isn’t on anybody’s list of pleasant experiences.

One more thing. I read it in a column from Wes Pruden, a gifted political writer, who everyone in Washington reads, whether they admit it, or not. In the ending to his column, he points out that it’s never good form for a lawyer to insult the jury, because they (the jury) always have the last say. I’d say that about sums up the health care debate.


The President Speaks…And Speaks…And Speaks Again

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

Some days, it seems like the best thing you can do to avoid being Obamacized is to get a set of earplugs. They’re cheap, readily available, and in my case, prevent high blood pressure. Never before in history has anyone been so in love with his own voice that he absolutely needs to be talking all the time. He has already given more speeches and press conferences since January 20th than Bill Clinton did in eight years, and Billy Jaye loved to talk (hence, the redefinition of the word “is”).

Tomorrow, he will speak to school kids, in a speech that was hurriedly rewritten, when parents found out he would stop at nothing, in his unending political campaign. The planned speech was right out of the old Bill Ayers playbook, where children would be enlisted to “right” the views of their wayward non-believing parents. Then, after the cat was out of the bag, a more palatable approach was taken, and the speech, released today, seems harmless enough now.

Over the weekend, the President’s resident Communist-in-Chief, Van Jones, was forced to resign. The White House says he resigned, but we all know the truth. He was forced out, in large part because a few brave journalists “Googled” his public record, which apparently made no difference to the White House when they appointed him. Van Jones was a card carrying Communist, a cry-baby racist, and a sure fire eco-nut. He wouldn’t have had a snowball’s chance in Hell of being appointed, or confirmed, by the Senate (maybe somebody will buy him a Klondike bar).

Obama knows that most of his cronies cannot be vetted by Congress, so he has decided to subvert the entire process by appointing “Czars.” Many of these Czars are absolute nut job academics, who have been hiding in the Ivy League for years, hoping for a messiah to pluck them up out of obscurity and give them what they really want, which is power. The power to tell you and me what to think and do. Nobody would ever buy what these guys are selling, if it was put to a vote… and they know it. So what you have is a bunch of extremely frightening individuals, with no defined job, or responsibilities, that report directly to…Obama.

Van Jones is the first to be forced out, and the others bear increased scrutiny. It won’t come from NBC, ABC, CNBC, MSNBC, the NYT, or the Washington Post, who barely acknowledged the existence of Van Jones. They are all still hoping that the great orator will convince the nation that his disastrous health care plan is the way to go, and everything will smooth itself out. They are betting on the wrong horse. Obama is starting to look like a bad reincarnation of the Peanut President, who also talked too much and listened too little.

In a speech to his labor allies today, Obama said that debate is good, but the time for debate is coming to an end. Little does he know that the debate is just getting started.

Prior to Saturday, there was a lot of debate and speculation about the state of Notre Dame football, which came to an abrupt end (at least for a few days) with a resounding 35-0 shellacking of Nevada. Now it’s on to the hated arch rival Michigan this weekend, which is a team I like about as much as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

While I flipped around the football dial Saturday, I saw a number of injuries. Some of them were minor, and in other cases, they were more serious. When I finally finished my football fix for the day, I was glad there were several emails from customers telling me about improvements in their life since they started taking my Powerhouse Omega Formula.

A couple of them focused on joints that seem to move more smoothly and without the creaking that was always present before they started with the formula. Another focused on a serious boost in energy and alertness, with more productivity as a result. One of the folks who had joint pain stated that the Powerhouse Omega Formula worked
better than anything he had ever used before.

That’s what I hoped for when I started this venture. Back in the lab, I’m working on a product specifically for joint pain, and it should be ready sometime in the Fall. I’m also working on a weight loss product that tells the story of how I’ve lost 50 pounds since February. It will be complete with my story, a food plan and exercises, so you can start dropping the extra baggage, if you need too. That should be ready in a month, or so.


My New Tee Shirt Gets Some Attention

Posted: February 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill | No Comments »

Yesterday afternoon, I wore my new anti-Obama tee shirt when I went out to do a few errands. I thought I’d be finished in an hour or so, but everywhere I went, people were stopping me to comment about the shirt, which is a picture of Obama painted as the Joker from Batman, with a caption on the bottom that says , “Why So Socialist?”

I was no sooner out of my car at the grocery store, when a woman in her mid 50’s hollered out, “Where can I get one of those?”

That was pretty funny, considering that my wife thought that if I wore it in public I was likely to get beat up. She doesn’t exactly have her finger on the prevailing political pulse, which is not running in the President’s favor.

In the produce section of the store, another two women stopped me and started talking about healthcare and the economy (I was beginning to think that my recent weight loss had made me a chick magnet). But they were angry about what the President was up to, which was no good, in their opinion. At the checkout counter, another woman said, “He really isn’t what he advertised, is he?”

This continued for the next couple of hours and all I did was to wear a tee shirt, expressing my opinion. I didn’t get one negative comment all afternoon. This surely isn’t scientific, but it sure lets you know things have changed in a big way.

But as I said the other day, this healthcare proposal isn’t going away. Word came down today that the President is going to get personally involved, and start telling Congress what is going to be in the bill. This is where the hardball starts and it’s going to be Chicago style hardball, which will get ugly. He is going to start passing money and pork around, to appease the Blue Dogs, and nothing makes a Congressman happier than money in his trough (except getting re-elected).

This is what it boils down to: big money now, versus the prospect of being defeated at the polls. If unemployment is still 10% next summer and if this bill passes, along with the equally ridiculous cap and trade, it could be 12% or higher, then the Democrats are going down. If this is their vision of the future, then they need to be put out to pasture for a long time. I say give them all a “shovel ready” job and make them work for a living.

One of our fine customers (who actually does work for a living), wrote in that he had to go off my Powerhouse Omega Formula for surgery, but he can’t wait to get back on it. Doctors most often require you to stop all medication that thins the blood before surgery, so there aren’t any complications with bleeding. He felt his energy levels drop, when he stopped, and he experienced some joint pain that he hadn’t noticed for quite some time.  This is exactly the same experience I had when I forgot to pack mine, on a two week trip I took last year. I’ve taken measures to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

If you need an energy boost, because you’re feeling run down, or you’re “plum tuckered out,” as they say in the South, check out my Heart Charging Formula, which is CoQ10, delivered in way that your body can use immediately, which isn’t true for almost all other CoQ10 formulas on the market. If your body can’t absorb the CoQ10, it isn’t worth what you pay for it, no matter what kind of a deal is being offered.
