Anyone who has been reading the news is aware of the world of concussions and sports injury. Most people just assume it's only happening in football, but that's just the part that reaches the news.

There's been a lot of talk lately about food as information. This is way beyond the normal idea of nutrition being defined by vitamins and minerals. Seeing food as a means of communication may take some imagination at first but I have to admit, it makes more sense to me than the normal system of vitamins and minerals. http://herbworks.com/mushrooms-as-prebiotics-food-as-information/

It never ceases to amaze me how modern medicine ignores modern nutrition. Even when it should be obvious, doctors never make the leap to suggesting nutrition as complimentary to health. Take your brain for example. You have over 100 billion neurons, which all are coated in a myelin sheath. Myelin is a fatty substance http://herbworks.com/modern-medicine-modern-nutrition/

B12 deficiency is so common that over 120 million http://herbworks.com/to-b-or-not-to-b/

It's fast approaching the ten-year anniversary for drinking TianChi. Longevity is a good sign that you make something important and I'm happy for that.

It's early morning, I'm alone at the computer thinking about death. I'm smiling and in a great mood. I'm in the process of killing something and it brings a smile to my face. I spent the whole day yesterday killing something and I'm back at it today. I won't get in trouble if I'm caught. No one will care really, http://herbworks.com/the-sweet-spot-of-death/
