Our master bedroom needed a huge makeover. The paint was old, the curtains were dusty and the artwork was outdated. I didn't want to spend a fortune re-doing everything so I looked for inexpensive solutions to give the room a whole new look without breaking the bank. Paint was a must. In some of our other rooms, we used a paint color made by Pittsburgh Paint called "Happy Trails, which is a really rich tan color. Next, I knew those old curtains had to be changed out, so I found an inexpensive curtain rod and bought two different scarves and draped those over the rod. Done. I needed to bring in some color, so I made a couple of arrangements out of silk and dried flowers. A nice pop against the warm...

Vitamin C, vitamin E (tocopherols), and some precursors to vitamin A (the carotenoids) exhibit antioxidant activity. Each of these vitamins has independently been shown to alter immunity.

In addition, neutrophils and macro phages produce ROS. The ROS produced by the immune system may have a role in modulating post-exercise muscle damage. The other reason that vitamins A, C, and E may be of interest to athletes relates to their potential immunostimulatory properties. The...

What is the difference between meditation and self-hypnosis? The short answer is, "There isn't necessarily any difference." Both take us out of our day-to-day consciousness. Both have the power to open our eyes and to create very powerful experiences and changes.

The beliefs that stand in the way of effective practice of self-hypnosis are rarely religious in nature or fervor, and thus, are much easier to work with. On the downside, the vast...
