Cosmic rays originating from black holes may be an active participant in eliminating the human race. These ions, composed of protons, electrons, hydrogen, helium, and sometimes lithium, beryllium and boron, have been linked to the increase of cancer in the world. Dr.

I HATE Fibro

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

Hello,
I'm a 28 year old women living with fibromyalgia. My mother has it too, ever since I was two years old. I grew up knowing the characters of Sesame Street and the symptoms of Fibromyalgia (back then they called it fibrocytis).

With the invention of planes and ocean liners, it has become remarkably easier to travel the world and explore all these different places. People can go from the US to China in a day, or spend the night on a plane and end up in Europe.

Could YOU live on $1 a day?

"Over 1 billion people live on $1 a day, the benchmark of absolute poverty." I found this to be a frightening statistic while I was reading the weekly Economist today.

Think about that: One billion people.

What does HEALTH mean to you? (Part 1)

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

When most people think of the term "HEALTH," the presence or absence of disease is usually the first thing that comes to mind.

As if health is somehow either black or white, no room for gray.

For example, some common thoughts are: I am in good health if I do not have a cold, if I am not obese or if I do not have any type of cancer (just to name a few).

One More Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Would Dorothea Dix be proud?

I am currently a junior in high school, which of course means I'm reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in English. As I'm winding my way through the mind of Chief Bromden, I am forced to wonder if things have changed much over the past fifty or so years since the book was published.

Changes come (full version)

Changes come as leaves fall from the trees

Another way to "get through" to them

Said with a chuckle

Amongst coy responses

Told to say what we might take

In stride to look like cake

Like a bad plot in a movie

This talk cant be real

Are people really listening intently?

Look at their faces as these words

Jumble out of lips built for lies
