Here’s what he wrote: “For many years, I’ve shared a simple ritual and visualization for chemotherapy recipients to use in preparation for treatment. I encourage them to ask the nurse administering the…

Here’s an especially delightful paper on the roots of the British Royal Family’s allegiance to homeopathy, the style of healthcare management that involves ingesting tiny pellets of greatly dilluted medicinal substances. Thanks to CM reader Lisa, who reminded me of this! I don’t know that I agree with every word here, but it makes for…

Here’s a blog post I find funny. It lambasts Prince Charles (in language most colorful) for yesterday asking someone at a healthcare facility in the United Arab Emirates if the country had thought of getting McDonald’s fast food franchises “banned.” Saudia Arabia is second to America in its high rate of diabetes. I just love…

Thanks for your warm response to the cancer healing prayers I posted. I’ve been looking for more without much luck. Want to write some together? I’ll post the prayers you send in.

Deepest-Breath-at-the-Oscars Award goes to Best Actor Forest Whitaker, who couldn’t utter his thank you speech until he’d inhaled the moment and collected himself.
