Electric fan and Health
Electric fan once was an essential heatstroke prevention item
in summer for many families. Though the number of families that
use electric fans has somewhat decreased due to the popularity
of the air conditioner, staying in an air conditioning room for
too long can cause the immunity of our body to drop, some can
easily catch cold, get a fever, contract allergic rhinitis and
allergic asthma, and more. These are all because of the bad air
quality caused by almost no circulations in an air ...

set forth by the late Dr. Herbert Shelton many years ago.
A couple of comments before we get to the rules.

What Really Causes High Cholesterol?
Just what is this matter we call cholesterol, anyway? Webster's
College Dictionary, 1995 edition, states: "a sterol, abundant in
animal fats, brain and nerve tissue, meat and eggs, that
functions in the body as a membrane constituent and as a
precursor of steroid hormones and bile acids: high levels in
the blood are associated with arteriosclerosis and gallstones."Â
That's a mouthful. But without cholesterol the body cannot make
the sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and vitamin D. ...

Wellness versus Ignorance
If you ask most Americans whether wellness is important, most
will agree. Parents will usually say that family health is one
of their major concerns. Yet most are rather ignorant about
nutrition information. Blame our public education system, false
or misleading reporting, and ads, ads, ads.
Recent news increasingly reports that obesity is epidemic in the
United States, and that it is the major cause of early death,
after tobacco. Yet the solution is really simple.

Truths about Diet, Obesity, and $75 Billion
Sensible diet prevents obesity! Healthy living prevents most

Are hair loss treatments just one big scam?
The hair loss industry is not one that inspires great

understandable given the damage caused by the many rogues and
charlatans who have abused the trust of far too many vulnerable
people - people who have received worthless and even dangerous
products or advice in exchange for their hard earned cash. The
end result is the prevalance of a stigma that the industry is
hard pressed to shake off.
