Mental illness and homelessness

 As some of you know I'm a huge advocate to get rid of the stigma of mental illness and have family and friends who suffer from various mental illnesses ranging from anxiety to schizophrenia. I have had and met people who suffer from dementia etc. It's not always a pretty path to go down and the suffering that these things can bring is a long and dark road in most cases.

Women Rights, Education, Sexuality and Population

I've spoken about women's rights before in a previous entry. I've spoken about feminism. What is feminism – it's the advocacy of equal rights between men and women. The belief that both sexes should have equal rights and opportunity.

Part 2 – Diets and Media

As of late I've been reading media and watching social media in particular. Of course I've been looking up various recipes and diet items. My previous entry was touching on Fad and crash diets and GMOs. I continue with this and note that Holistic eating – such as outlined here– can be both beneficial and not. Some of it is good tips, like portion size and not eating a lot of preservatives and so on but when it comes to the freshly grown vs GMO, I have to disagree. This is highly promoted in media among other things and I am constantly being bombarded by ads of supplements and how to do things “naturally”. Some of which has is foundation in science but as Bill states, a lot of things have not been tested and this is why for the most part don't work let alone for example, he used an antacid example that a holistic or “natural” one is actually watered down and I have seen this. Most of the things that claim to be natural actually aren't or those that are saying less fat or less sugar actually have more in it that's bad for you like aspartame.

Diet, GMOs

I'd like to take a moment to say sorry to my readers for taking 3-4 months to write. I've had a lot going on as of late with appointments, flare ups and work. So here are a few longer entries to make up for it all. I also say again as a disclaimer that I am no scientist or medical professional and that what I state here in these entries are from personal research and my own personal opinion on various topics that affect our health as a whole.
