			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A young man, who follows my daily scribblings, wants to know why<br />
&#8220;hangovers&#8221; hurt so badly, so I&#8217;ll try to explain. The Germans, who<br />
know a bunch about hangovers, call hangovers &#8220;the wailing of the<br />
cats.&#8221; The Norwegians, no strangers to alcohol themselves, call it<br />
&#8220;carpenters in the head.&#8221;</p>
<p>I have a few other descriptions of hangovers that I can&#8217;t print.</p>
<p>The two most common effects of a hangover are nausea and a skull<br />
splitting headache. What it really is&#8230;is your body&#8217;s way of<br />
reacting to low blood sugar, dehydration and inflammation,</p>
<p>Poof juice hampers the production of glucose, the sugar that fuels<br />
every cell in your body, and in particular, your brain.  A glucose<br />
deprived brain can cause irritability, weakness and dizziness.</p>
<p>Firewater also acts as a diuretic, so the kidneys are continually<br />
flushing out vital nutrients, such as magnesium and potassium. If<br />
your consumption level caused you to puke, your hydration level is<br />
taxed at a very high level. The elixir of choice also causes<br />
inflammation of the stomach lining and the blood vessels in the<br />
brain.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the basic science and it probably has never deterred anyone<br />
from drinking.</p>
<p>There are some simple defenses against a hangover, the most obvious<br />
being&#8230;don&#8217;t drink. Since no one pays any attention to that, I&#8217;ll<br />
move on.</p>
<p>1) Drink a lot of water, while you&#8217;re dinking alcohol. The water<br />
will help fill you up, hydrate you and lessen the amount of brewski<br />
you can take in.</p>
<p>2)  If you are going to be drinking quite a bit, stay away from<br />
brown liquor and red wine. These beverages can turn a mild headache<br />
into a severe one.</p>
<p>3)  Eat some food, prior to drinking. This slows the absorption of<br />
alcohol and helps your body to metabolize it.</p>
<p>One old wives&#8217; tale to be avoided, upon waking, is: Taking a jolt of<br />
whatever caused the hangover in the first place. This can only make<br />
the situation worse and will actually prolong the agony.</p>
<p>Here are some foods that will help alleviate the hangover.</p>
<p>Cinnamon. Cinnamon has several stomach settling compounds and over<br />
one dozen pain relievers.</p>
<p>Wintergreen tea.  It contains a dozen or so anti inflammatories.</p>
<p>Hot peppers. This is why southern boys often carry a bottle of hot<br />
sauce with them, everywhere they go. Hot peppers contain<br />
antioxidants that repair cell damage and capsaicin, a chemical that<br />
causes the body to release natural opiates, called endorphins.</p>
<p>Bananas. They replace important vitamins and minerals being flushed<br />
out by alcohol, such as potassium.</p>
<p>Fruit juice. This will help you replace glucose and help eliminate<br />
headaches and dizziness. It may also help burn up residual alcohol,<br />
faster.</p>
<p>An extra fish oil dose. You can do this the night of, or the<br />
following morning, or both (which is what I would recommend). It<br />
helps keep your system in balance:</p>
<p>https://www.favoriteformulas.com?awt_l=GnZNU&amp;awt_m=1fk.NFSFRYz2rW</p>
<p>The Chinese also have an herbal cure, where they use kudzu extract,<br />
before drinking. I don&#8217;t know where you could get this, except at a<br />
Chinese herbal store. The way it works, as I understand it, is that<br />
it cuts the desire for alcohol and makes the drinker much more<br />
satisfied with a lot less.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be back tomorrow with more.</p>
<p>With my best wishes for your optimum health,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got an email the other day from Bob Evans, well not exactly Bob<br />
Evans, but Bob Evans Restaurants, promising me that I could get a<br />
free breakfast by just sending them my email and zipcode. (Nothing<br />
else, no surveys, other offers, or having my name sent to other<br />
email lists that would absolutely drive me crazy.)</p>
<p>So, bada-bing, bada-boom, I send it in and seconds later, I get a<br />
coupon for a free breakfast, if I buy another breakfast. It&#8217;s the<br />
old &#8220;2 for the price of 1,&#8221; with a new hairdo and makeup. Nothing<br />
wrong with that. It shows how we&#8217;ve evolved (or something).</p>
<p>Then, I discover 2 things. The first is: The closest Bob Evans is a<br />
thirty minute drive, which is 20 minutes too far, for breakfast. And<br />
the second thing is: The coupon expires while I&#8217;m out of town. So<br />
now, my day is shot to hell, because I&#8217;m in possession of a<br />
worthless freebie. But I still hold Bob Evans in high regard for<br />
sending it (a deal is a deal, these days) and they couldn&#8217;t possibly<br />
know what my travel schedule is.</p>
<p>Then, I got a note from a friend, about a situation I had described<br />
to him, and this was his somewhat laconic reply: &#8220;If you&#8217;re looking<br />
for sympathy&#8230;you&#8217;ll find it between shit and syphilis in the<br />
dictionary.&#8221;</p>
<p>It took a minute for that to sink in, then I burst out laughing. I<br />
sent a note back, recommending a children&#8217;s book for him, &#8220;Curious<br />
George and the High Voltage Fence.&#8221;</p>
<p>The whole morning scenario brought to mind one Homer J. Simpson,<br />
Springfield bon vivant and philosopher extraordinaire, who once<br />
shrieked, &#8220;Books are useless! I only read one book in my entire<br />
life, &#8220;To Kill a Mockingbird,&#8221; and it gave me absolutely no insight<br />
on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure, it taught me not to judge a man<br />
by the color of his skin&#8230;but what good does that do me?&#8221;</p>
<p>A 72 year old youngster, who purchased my MegaRex Formula, sent this<br />
joke to me yesterday, which I had heard before, but it&#8217;s worth<br />
telling again.</p>
<p>https://www.favoriteformulas.com/enhancement?awt_l=GnZNU&amp;awt_m=1aaSHOdUlYz2rW</p>
<p>&#8220;An 80 year old man goes into the confessional at St. Vincents and<br />
and tells the priest:</p>
<p>&#8220;Father&#8230;I&#8217;m an 80 year old man, I&#8217;m married, I have 4 children and<br />
11 grandchildren. Last night, I strayed and had an affair with two<br />
18 year old girls. We partied and made love all night long.&#8221;</p>
<p>The priest said, &#8220;My son&#8230;when was the last time you were at<br />
confession?&#8221;</p>
<p>The old guy says, &#8220;I&#8217;ve never been to confession. I&#8217;m Jewish.&#8221;</p>
<p>The priest said, &#8220;Then why are you here telling me this?&#8221;</p>
<p>The old guy says, &#8220;Not just you Father&#8230;Hell, I&#8217;m telling<br />
everybody!&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be back tomorrow with more.</p>
<p>With my best wishes for your optimum health,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m taking a short break from writing about super duper sizzling<br />
sex, which may last at least a few paragraphs, if you&#8217;re lucky and I<br />
don&#8217;t run out of things to say about the product that started it<br />
all, my Powerhouse Omega Formula, which has been in the marketplace<br />
for almost two years.</p>
<p>Today, I wanted to yack a bit about the proven, scientific benefits<br />
of my Powerhouse Omega Formula, which is a high potency,<br />
concentrated, pharmaceutical grade fish oil that comes in an enteric<br />
coated soft gel.</p>
<p>1)  Fish oil can help you fight the blues, or beat depression.</p>
<p>Scientists at the University of Montreal just published the largest<br />
study yet on fish oil&#8217;s effect on depression. They showed that when<br />
patients with moderate depression took 1,200 mg of a quality fish<br />
oil, their depression improved significantly. The scientists believe<br />
that the omega-3&#8242;s in fish oil improve the function of some<br />
chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.</p>
<p>2) Omega-3&#8242;s reduce joint pain and inflammation.</p>
<p>If you take aspirin, or ibuprofen, to reduce joint pain, you should<br />
add fish oil to your regimen. The newest studies show that you can<br />
reduce pain meds, when you take fish oil. The genius lads at Harvard<br />
Medical School have shown that the body converts omega-3 fatty acids<br />
into joint protective compounds. These compounds are called<br />
resolvins, which become 10,000 times stronger than the original<br />
omega-3&#8242;s.</p>
<p>3)  Fish oil helps buffet molesters lose weight.</p>
<p>Having lost about 60 pounds last year, I know a bit about this,<br />
personally. There are two types of polyunsaturated fats, omega-3&#8242;s<br />
and omega-6&#8242;s. Both are essential, meaning the body can&#8217;t<br />
manufacture them, so you must ingest them in your diet. Omega-3 is<br />
not stored as body fat, because it gets put to work immediately&#8230;<br />
it&#8217;s burned as energy, so no weight gains with omega-3&#8242;s.</p>
<p>Omega-6 fatty acids are also essential fats, but are present in<br />
overwhelming amounts in the Western diet, especially in fast foods,<br />
which tend to hang around in fat deposits, all over your body. Look<br />
for omega-6 fatty acids on labels and don&#8217;t use the stuff. The<br />
biggest offenders are corn oil, soy oil, sunflower oil, and<br />
safflower oil. Switch to olive oil instead, an omega-9, or<br />
monosaturated oil.</p>
<p>4)  Fish Oil Reduces Tryglycerides.</p>
<p>Heart health is at the top of the food chain, regarding fish oil.<br />
Most health practitioners focus on cholesterol, which we are finding<br />
out may not be the villain we have been led to believe. But high<br />
trigylcerides result in high cholesterol, so controlling the<br />
triglycerides also controls the levels of total cholesterol.</p>
<p>5)  Fish Oil helps with blood pressure.</p>
<p>Not enough people take fish oil to help with blood pressure. Johns<br />
Hopkins School of Medicine reviewed 17 studies, 11 of which gave<br />
fish oil to folks with normal blood pressure and 7 of which gave<br />
fish oil to folks with high blood pressure. In both groups, they<br />
noticed a sharp decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressures.</p>
<p>So, some good reasons to be on my Powerhouse Omega Formula, which<br />
you can get by going right here:</p>

<p>On the subject of sex, (you knew I was going back there), remember<br />
this, the better shape you&#8217;re in, the better sex you can have:</p>

<p>With my best wishes for your optimum health,</p>
<p>Dr. Bill</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever I need a good laugh, I read one of the British tabloids,<br />
which are so wacky you can&#8217;t help but admire the loons who put them<br />
together on a daily basis. Sure enough, I found a great story on<br />
Page 3.</p>
<p>It seems a group of women in Lancashire are giving a whole new<br />
meaning to the term &#8220;body art.&#8221;</p>
<p>Usually, when &#8220;body art&#8221; is referred to, it means that the artist<br />
has had their body painted, or they are painting someone else&#8217;s<br />
body. I actually saw an exhibition of Body Art in New York City<br />
during the 1970&#8242;s, and the models were smoking hot.</p>
<p>The British probably did this too, because in those days, they were<br />
certainly as wacky as we were.</p>
<p>But this fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness is called &#8220;Paint By<br />
Nipples.&#8221; Were I a little younger, I would apply to be a paint<br />
applicator, but I&#8217;m afraid at my age I would only be called a dirty<br />
old man (not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with that).</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m trying to figure out here is:  Does the woman move the<br />
nipple around on the canvas, or does someone move the canvas around<br />
on the nipple? (Enquiring minds want to know!)</p>
<p>https://www.favoriteformulas.com/sizzlingsex?awt_l=GnZNU&amp;awt_m=1fQlmxO2tYz2rW</p>
<p>The women also have the option of making a unique ceramic piece, by<br />
using the shape of their breasts.</p>
<p>Something to drink coffee, or tea out of? A one, or two cup model?<br />
The owner of the studio feels that husbands and boyfriends would<br />
love breasts on their work mugs. (Would it be wrong to covet your<br />
friend&#8217;s mug?)</p>
<p>One of the artists has already painted, using her nipples, and she<br />
found the experience &#8220;liberating.&#8221; Now, she wants to make pottery,<br />
using her breasts, so she can have a mug with her breast prints on<br />
it.</p>
<p>This exactly why you have to love the Brits, in spite of their bad<br />
teeth and mysterious body odors. They are always just a step or two<br />
away from the &#8220;funhouse,&#8221; as they say. But it sure beats one of the<br />
droll cancer fundraisers we have here. Pip! Pip! Cheerio!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be back tomorrow with more.</p>
<p>With my best wishes for your optimum health,</p>
<p>Dr. Bill</p>
<p>P.S. I got a huge batch of my Special Report on Sizzling Sex on<br />
Saturday, in case you missed out last week. Some industrious types<br />
have already put some of my pointers to use, with climactic results:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, we had stacks of my Special Report on Sizzling Sex, along<br />
with all the various mailing paraphernalia and this morning&#8230; they<br />
were ALL GONE. I almost feel like I have a New York Times bestseller<br />
on my hands. But don&#8217;t worry, I have already reordered and the<br />
pallet will be full, before noon, on Saturday, so we won&#8217;t miss a<br />
beat getting them out the door.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good thing I put away a copy for myself, in case I forget<br />
what I&#8217;m doing. As one of my med school friends once said to me,<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s the readin&#8217; that&#8217;s easy, but the rememberin&#8217;s hard.&#8221;</p>
<p>https://www.favoriteformulas.com/sizzlingsex?awt_l=GnZNU&amp;awt_m=1dvDiHsU3Yz2rW</p>
<p>One of the reasons I wrote this report is because I&#8217;m continuously<br />
surprised by what people think they know, but don&#8217;t. That&#8217;s what<br />
happens when you learn about sex from your older brother, who may<br />
have been only one fumbling step ahead of you and possibly, even<br />
behind.</p>
<p>There was a lot of bad information out there, when I was young, but<br />
I happened to learn a few things in medical school. (I don&#8217;t think<br />
it was actually a credit course&#8230;but it was was a byproduct of<br />
someone who knew something, which was a lot more than I knew, at the<br />
time.)</p>
<p>Then, there were actually courses in sex, which I took purely for<br />
their medicinal value. That was followed by nurses in hospitals, who<br />
knew more about everything than young doctors, though we did catch<br />
up&#8230;eventually.</p>
<p>This brings me to story of when I was a resident and a patient, who<br />
suffered from an &#8220;inflamed vagina.&#8221; I did an exam and then consulted<br />
with my superior, who recommended a suppository for a few days, and<br />
that would be that. I picked up the cure at the hospital pharmacy<br />
and took it to the patient, telling her to take it for a few days,<br />
and everything should be fine.</p>
<p>A few days later, I walked into room, and the same woman was back. I<br />
asked her what was wrong and she told me I had made it worse. I<br />
examined her again and she was telling the truth, her problem was<br />
much worse. I again consulted with my superior, who also examined<br />
her and both us were scratching our heads.</p>
<p>There was a nurse on the floor, who was a thirty year veteran, so we<br />
took the problem to her. She went in and saw the woman and five<br />
minutes later, came out of the room. She motioned us into another<br />
room and closed the door. Then she burst out laughing hysterically. </p>
<p>&#8220;Which one of you gave her the suppository?&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>I raised my hand. &#8220;What did you tell her?&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>I said I told her to take one a day for five days.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s just exactly what she did,&#8221; said the nurse, who went into<br />
spasms of laughter again. Then she said, &#8220;Did you tell her to take<br />
the wrapper off?&#8221;</p>
<p>Then it dawned on me. The woman had put in the suppository, package<br />
and all. I think it was half an hour before any of us could leave<br />
the room.</p>
<p>I learned something very important that day. A doctor has to give<br />
very, very, clear instructions.</p>
<p>I hope that&#8217;s what I did with this Special Report and the feedback<br />
has been good. So if you think you&#8217;re capable of readin&#8217; and<br />
rememberin&#8217; a few tricks, get yourself a copy and things just might<br />
pick up for you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be back tomorrow with more.</p>
<p>With my best wishes for your optimum health,</p>
<p>Dr. Bill</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first thing that comes to my mind when you say &#8220;ginger&#8221; is<br />
Gilligan&#8217;s Island, where &#8220;Ginger&#8221; was played by Tina Louise. The<br />
second thing that I remember is ginger ale, which was my mother&#8217;s<br />
cure for whatever ailed you. If you told Mom you didn&#8217;t feel good,<br />
a bottle of ginger ale would appear, as if by magic. It certainly<br />
didn&#8217;t cure everything, but it was the best part of any illness.</p>
<p>Although Mom didn&#8217;t know it, she was on to something.</p>
<p>Ginger goes back a long way in Western Civilization. Pythagoras, a<br />
noted Greek philosopher and math wiz, used it for digestion. The<br />
Roman military kept it handy on long marches. Henry the VIII, of<br />
Merrie Olde England thought it would cure plague (it didn&#8217;t). Ginger<br />
has an even longer history in the East, where it is considered an<br />
integral part of medicine.</p>
<p>Ginger is, by far, the best remedy for motion sickness. It was<br />
tested against Dramamine and won handily. The incredible thing is<br />
that you only need about a 1/4 teaspoon, 20 minutes before getting<br />
in a car, or boat. That isn&#8217;t very much and it might cost an entire<br />
family fifty cents.</p>
<p>Ginger also does yeoman&#8217;s work, if you suffer from headaches, or<br />
migraines, by helping to keep the pain and nausea away. Researchers<br />
in Denmark have found that ginger may short circuit impending<br />
migraines, by blocking the production of prostaglandins, substances<br />
that cause pain and inflammation in blood vessels in the brain.</p>
<p>Ginger can also help with rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis.<br />
The best way to help here is to brew a mild tea, by puuting three or<br />
four slices of fresh ginger in a cup of boiling water.</p>
<p>Ginger is also good for your blood and has a chemical makeup<br />
somewhat similar to aspirin.</p>
<p>In the food culture of New Orleans, they often talk about the<br />
&#8220;trinity,&#8221; which is a combination of onion, green pepper and celery,<br />
which are all good for you. This &#8220;trinity&#8221; is the base for almost<br />
all gumbos and jambalayas. In India, the &#8220;trinity&#8221; is garlic, ginger<br />
and onion. Indian yogis and chefs suggest that this is the<br />
foundation of good health. There is no question that adding ginger<br />
to your diet is a good idea.</p>
<p>If you combine a little ginger with my Powerhouse Omega Formula, you<br />
should get a very nice synergystic effect. It&#8217;s almost like adding<br />
another janitor to your &#8220;in house&#8221; cleaning crew:</p>

<p>With my best wishes for your optimum health,</p>

<p>P.S. There&#8217;s a lot of demand for my Special Report on Sizzling Sex<br />
for all you geezers, (Over 50), out there. The first printing is<br />
going to run out this week, so get it without delay. Just remember<br />
that you can teach an old dog a few new tricks. Woof! Woof!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mmmm.</p>
<p>Sausage Gravy.</p>
<p>After Sunday night, we can add actor John Cusack to my ever growing<br />
list of celebretards, with apologies to all the mentally challenged.<br />
Q Sack, which is how I will refer to the actor, sent a tweet to all<br />
his 200,000 raving fans Sunday night, saying he was for a Satanic<br />
Death Cult Center at FOX NEWS and outside the offices of Dick Armey,<br />
Newt Gingrich and all GOP welfare freaks.</p>
<p>Q Sack has long been involved in Democratic politics, starting in<br />
Chicago. He was previously a big supporter of Fat Al Gore, Sponge<br />
John Kerry and of course, our old friend Billy J. (Hey&#8230;anybody<br />
thought of redoing &#8220;Three Amigos&#8221; with starring roles for those<br />
three?)</p>
<p>It is interesting that all these Hollywood peaceniks have such<br />
violent rage, simmering just below the surface. Sean Penn wanted all<br />
the Republicans to die of anal cancer and now, Q Sack wants a<br />
Satanic Death cult. (Maybe he was just trying to one-up Penn.)</p>
<p>One question I always wanted to ask these celebretards is, &#8220;Do you<br />
actually think you could make an anti-government movie, if the<br />
Marxists were in charge?&#8221; (We all know what the answer to that is.)</p>
<p>The liberals have nothing left in their bag of tricks, except name<br />
calling and violence. Anyone who opposes Obama is variously a<br />
racist, a bigot, a homophobe, or an Islamophobe. (Take your pick, or<br />
wear all four.) Or you are &#8220;white,&#8221; which according to the<br />
mainstream media, is a crime. (Just read, or listen, to the coverage<br />
of Glenn Beck&#8217;s rally.)</p>
<p>Sean Penn at least puts his money where his mouth is and I have to<br />
respect that.</p>
<p>But Q Sack is just another liberal loudmouth, with an anger<br />
management problem. He isn&#8217;t alone, he has brothers and sisters at<br />
the New York Times, MSNBC, the Washington Post and everywhere in<br />
academia, the last refuge of true scoundrels.</p>
<p>We needn&#8217;t worry about Q Sack, or his empty headed Satanic threats.<br />
He&#8217;ll always have a column at the Huffington Post, where all washed<br />
up Hollywood actors can still have their say. (For coffee with soy<br />
milk&#8230; and a plate of lard free biscuits, with vegan sausage<br />
gravy.)</p>
<p>Yummo!</p>
<p>I sent Q Sack&#8217;s agent a copy of my Special Report on Sizzling Sex,<br />
because that anger problem could be a sign that Q has trouble with<br />
the ladies&#8230;if you know what I mean. A little improvement in the<br />
bedroom means he might not be up, tweeting threats that could get<br />
him arrested. I suggested that maybe Q needs to read the report,<br />
more than a few times, and start practicing:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend of mine attended the &#8220;Restoring Honor&#8221; rally in Washington,<br />
D.C., over the weekend. Here is his report from the event:</p>
<p>&#8220;Bill,</p>
<p>Being a veteran of Washington, I drove in Saturday morning against<br />
the advice of the mainstream media. I knew that I could find parking<br />
quite easily and pretty close to the event, in spite of the dire<br />
warnings. I used all the savvy I had learned in eight years of criss<br />
crossing the city, Monday through Friday.</p>
<p>I rolled over the 14th Street Bridge, took a right on D Street and<br />
found the whole street empty. Wow, that was tough&#8230; and I was<br />
positioned for a quick exit, once the event was over. No sooner had<br />
I parked than many others followed suit. I think they were just as<br />
surprised as I was. I locked down the car and started walking up<br />
14th, past the Bureau of Engraving on the right and the Holocaust<br />
Museum on the left.</p>
<p>Two blocks up, I could see large groups of people at the stoplights<br />
and a lot of Metro Traffic people. When I reached the corner, I<br />
could see people coming from all directions. Crossing 14th Street,<br />
you could see large streams of people heading to the Mall area,<br />
which is between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. I<br />
headed up toward the Washington Monument, so I could see down to the<br />
Lincoln Memorial. It was around 8:45AM and the middle section of the<br />
mall was already full. The right was filling up fast, from<br />
Constitution Ave, so I went left. By the time I got to the left<br />
side, it was half full and filling fast. I found a convenient tree<br />
to park under, as it was already about 85 degrees.</p>
<p>This had to be the quietest big crowd I&#8217;ve ever been around. They<br />
were friendly and extremely polite. People ranged in age, from<br />
babies to people in their 90&#8242;s. There were people using canes,<br />
crutches and wheelchairs. There were no anti Obama signs, no anti<br />
government signs, although there were some very clever things on T<br />
Shirts that made me laugh.</p>
<p>The rally organizers had plenty of Portable Johns and there was<br />
water for sale, at reasonable prices. People continued to stream in<br />
and the area I was in was full by 9:30. I communicated by cell phone<br />
with other friends who were a full mile behind me, and others who<br />
were even further back. I&#8217;ve been to a few events here, over the<br />
years, and this one was huge.</p>
<p>The program started about 10:15 and rolled along smoothly. I never<br />
heard the words Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Obama, Pelosi, or<br />
Reid. What I heard was a call to prayer and reflection. The military<br />
was honored, as it should be. Many others were also honored. About<br />
1:00PM, I started walking back toward the Washington Monument.<br />
People were still coming into the area. The area around the<br />
Washington Monument was full.</p>
<p>As I walked back to 14th Street, people were still coming in from<br />
all directions.</p>
<p>On the CBS Evening News, with KC and the Sunshine Band, the crowd<br />
estimate was put at 87,000. The Washington Post barely mentioned the<br />
event. The mainstream media all but ignored the event, preferring to<br />
show an outraged AL Sharpton, at a counter event that drew about<br />
1000 people.</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier, I have been to a few events at the Mall. My<br />
estimate of the crowd was 400,000 to 500,000. Half a million of the<br />
most respectful and well behaved people I have ever seen here, in<br />
Washington. Hell, they even picked up their garbage. Quite a<br />
contrast to the last big Earth Day event, where it took the city<br />
days and millions of dollars, to clean up. (Go Green!)</p>
<p>Something large is going on, but I doubt any of these ideologues,<br />
here, comprehend what&#8217;s coming. I was reminded this morning of<br />
Jackson P, who used to send out Memo&#8217;s whenever someone got fired at<br />
the company, that always ended, &#8220;We wish him well in his new<br />
endeavor.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hey, I ordered a couple of copies of your new sex treatise for my<br />
sons:</p>
<p>https://www.favoriteformulas.com/sizzlingsex?awt_l=GnZNU&amp;awt_m=1bxURV2bhYz2rW</p>
<p>If they knew half as much as they think they do, they wouldn&#8217;t be in<br />
trouble with their wives all the time. If the sex is good, you can<br />
watch football all weekend, without any complaints. (That&#8217;s the way<br />
it is here!)</p>
<p>Take care,</p>
<p>Murph&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be back tomorrow with more.</p>
<p>With my best wishes for your optimum health,</p>
<p>Dr. Bill</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, after experiencing some technical difficulties, I<br />
launched my special report on sex, called &#8220;Maybe You&#8217;ll Get Some<br />
Tonight!&#8221; Actually, it&#8217;s called &#8220;Dr. Bill&#8217;s Secrets To Sizzling Sex&#8221;<br />
and you can get a copy right here:</p>
<p>https://www.favoriteformulas.com/sizzlingsex?awt_l=GnZNU&amp;awt_m=1gdfc12QoYz2rW</p>
<p>I have an Ebonic&#8217;s version coming out this week, called &#8220;Shizzle fo<br />
Yo Dizzle.&#8221; (Not really.)</p>
<p>I wrote this report after getting scores of questions on the subject<br />
of sex, about which we all like to joke around and on which we all<br />
consider ourselves experts. But the truth is&#8230;when it comes down to<br />
it&#8230;we Americans are not all that well informed on the subject, in<br />
spite of a $50 billion dollar porn industry, strip clubs and &#8220;adult&#8221;<br />
toy shops.</p>
<p>If any of that helped people out, in their day to day lives, except<br />
to make some people very wealthy, I wouldn&#8217;t get all the questions,<br />
on a daily basis. So based on the theory that your kids know more<br />
than you do, I thought I might pen a manual of sorts for those of us<br />
who learned the trade in the dark and in a hurry.</p>
<p>That would be those of us over 50, but not yet dead&#8230; which means<br />
that we can still have sex. We may not be able to have Cirque De<br />
Soleil acrobatic sex, but we can still have a pretty good time,<br />
provided we know a thing or two about what to do.</p>
<p>So if you need a hand&#8230;get yourself a copy&#8230;and you may find that<br />
you still have a trick or two left in your arsenal:</p>
<p>https://www.favoriteformulas.com/sizzlingsex?awt_l=GnZNU&amp;awt_m=1gdfc12QoYz2rW</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be back tomorrow with more.</p>
<p>With my best wishes for your optimum health,</p>
<p>Dr. Bill</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the questions I often get is this: &#8220;Dr. Bill, if I just cut<br />
back on what I&#8217;m eating, will I lose weight?&#8221;</p>
<p>Yes, you will. You&#8217;ll lose some weight and then&#8230; you&#8217;ll more than<br />
likely gain it back. Then the question becomes: &#8220;What do I do now?&#8221;</p>
<p>We all know deprivation diets don&#8217;t work. 96% of people using a<br />
deprivation diet fail to lose weight. That&#8217;s good news for Weight<br />
Watchers, Nutri-System, Jenny Craig and a myriad of other diet<br />
plans.</p>
<p>The last time I counted, there were over 40 large scale diet<br />
operations making really serious money. One of the reasons they do<br />
so well is that people believe that if Weight Watchers didn&#8217;t work,<br />
then Jenny Craig will. Or Nutri System will. Or the next big thing<br />
will.</p>
<p>All these diets focus on one thing, called caloric restriction. From<br />
Day 1, they focus on teaching you to eat less and in many cases, a<br />
lot less. They give you all the foods you like, like cheesecake,<br />
chocolate cake, cookies, you get my drift. Now these are low fat, or<br />
no fat versions of the real thing, usually loaded with some form of<br />
sugar.</p>
<p>What they calculate is that you have to have this sugar in order to<br />
forget you&#8217;re only consuming 1200 calories a day for women and 1500<br />
for men. In my humble opinion, these calorie counts are dangerously<br />
low and sooner or later, your body is going to rebel (hence, the 96%<br />
failure rate for such diets).</p>
<p>The failure usually comes with a yo-yo, meaning that you gain the<br />
weight back and then some. What you have done is exacerbate the<br />
problem by following bad diet advice.</p>
<p>What you have to do is change what goes in the old piehole, on a<br />
regular basis. One of my biggest weaknesses was always bread, which<br />
is a food that makes a big difference. I include pizza in the bread<br />
category and I ate a whole lotta pizza, over the years.</p>
<p>I eat pizza maybe once, every six or eight weeks, or so, now and I<br />
order the smallest one I can get. I don&#8217;t finish off a big pie by<br />
myself anymore, which made me a favorite of a number of delivery<br />
drivers over the years. I still do eat a large amount of food,<br />
though. It just happens to fall under protein, fruits and<br />
vegetables.</p>
<p>Notice what isn&#8217;t included.</p>
<p>Bread, pastries, desserts, chips, pretzels, soda, fruit juice, rice,<br />
french fries, pasta and any packaged foods. That&#8217;s the stuff that<br />
makes you fat and there isn&#8217;t any way around that.</p>
<p>The human body was built to run on protein, fruits and vegetables,<br />
not french fries, donuts and slurpees.</p>
<p>The protein can be meat, poultry, fish, eggs&#8230;the body sees it all<br />
the same way. There is no hierarchy of proteins, where chicken<br />
breast is better for you than flank steak and turkey is better than<br />
pork, or lamb. Your body needs a good amount of protein every day<br />
and it doesn&#8217;t care whether it came from Sammie the Salmon, or<br />
Clarence the Cow.</p>
<p>Along with the protein, you need to eat a rainbow of vegetables and<br />
fruit and the more colors, the better. If this is what you fill up<br />
on, you can eat whenever you&#8217;re hungry and stop when you&#8217;re full.<br />
And you will lose weight and keep it off, even when you allow<br />
yourself the occassional treat.</p>
<p>I have a friend of mine doing this right now and he eats twice a<br />
day, lunch and dinner. In the morning, he drinks coffee and he isn&#8217;t<br />
hungry. That&#8217;s okay, although personally, I need breakfast. I know<br />
others that eat 3, 4, 5 or 6 times a day. It doesn&#8217;t really matter,<br />
as long as you eat the good stuff and stop when you&#8217;re full.</p>
<p>In accounting, they talk about LIFO and FIFO, meaning last in, first<br />
out and first in, first out. When you are eating crud it&#8217;s called<br />
FINO, meaning first in, never out. It shows up as fat.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve been eating crud for a spell, like 99% of us, you need<br />
to make a couple of switches. First, you get on my Powerhouse Omega<br />
Formula, an enteric coated, pharmaceutical grade, concentrated fish<br />
oil from the deep arctic ocean, that will start rehabilitating your<br />
metabolism.</p>
<p>Then, you start to gradually phase out the crud that&#8217;s been going in<br />
the old piehole.</p>
<p>80% of the weight loss battle is determined by what you put in your<br />
mouth and the other 20% is related to exercise, sunlight, sleep and<br />
supplements. The Powerhouse Omega Formula is vitally important,<br />
because it functions like an &#8220;ON&#8221; switch. Flip it, and all the right<br />
circuits start to connect.</p>
<p>Then, give your body the right fuel and just watch the fat melt off:</p>
