Sugar is bad for you, specifically refined sugar. Year after year, decade after decade the evidence increases to the point there is no doubt. Refined sugar whether white, brown or high fructose corn syrup is one of the most harmful substances found in the modern American diet. The harm it does is compounded by the insidious way it is bound into most of the processed foods we consume daily including most of the foods we feed our children daily. The harm done becomes essentially evil when one considers how much is known about sugar and the fact that corporate leaders and boards knowingly shovel this substance into the market place and remain unaccountable. What the processed food industry is doing should be considered criminal. Sugar may well be the asbestos or tobacco of the twenty-first century. The FDA does nothing because of the vast amounts of money involved and many doctors and other clinicians ignore or choose to be ignorant of the facts because of their overwhelming workloads, or plain lack of interest.

DownloadNine years ago tonight heaven gained an angel and I lost my best friend, wife and dive buddy. Heaven called her, but cancer took her. Alison was diagnosed in early January and passed December 3rd.
We were so naïve and uninformed when our journey began that the outcome was likely pre-determined. The sad thing was that no matter how hard we tried we remained behind the curve. Her cancer was rare we were told, a hundred cases in a hundred years. There was no protocol; no one was working on it. Why would they? Too few cases and no money in it.
The cancer was metastasized so surgery wasn’t an option; why we asked? Just the way it is; contrary to best practices. We had no idea and didn’t really know how to argue our case. I never felt so impotent in my entire life. I was supposed to protect her, fix things and I could not, I failed.
The world is spinning; you don’t feel as though you can think. Everything is
emotion and the emotion is fear.
Our modern medical (allopathic) system is passably accurate in determining
which part of your body is malfunctioning. The same system is wonderfully
creative in treating the symptoms of the malfunction with drugs and even has
additional drugs to treat symptoms (side effects) of taking the first drugs, but
outside of trauma medicine that is pretty much where their talent ends.
The defining characteristic of the West is scale. Everything is huge,
the sky, the landscape, the geology, everything is almost overwhelming.
And don’t even think of taking a picture that will capture the immensity of
what you’re seeing. Professionals have been trying since the camera was
invented.
I first landed in Dixie county FL in the spring of 2018. There was a sweetness to the place that seemed to take me back in time. I felt I could taste the river on the breeze and the smell of Live Oaks permeated everything. Lodgepole and Long Leaf pines grew in patches here and there and just added to the rural calmness alongside a sense of “aliveness”.
