Acai Berries and Colon Cleanser From time-to-time, I like to answer questions from readers.  I cannot answer every question, of course, but sometimes I think it’s important to address topics that are of interest to lots of people. Here’s one that was written in a comment on something I wrote about prayer. “Dear Dr. Norris,…

How to lose weight, weight loss tips, diets, fat loss programs – the world is filled with them.  It’s pretty amazing to me that people continue to look for some new, magical formula or solution.  It’s amazing to me that people are overweight or obese at all these days.  Don’t we already know what makes…

In his movie, “Ghost,” the key moment of the whole film, at the end, was his saying that it is love that is the connection between people, and life and death. …

Aren’t we blessed to be alive? Isn’t it wonderful to be human: To give and receive love, to have dreams and aspirations, to learn and change? Let’s take time together to see what bountiful blessings we have today, instead of choosing to feel down or bad about what we don’t. Stop for five minutes, right…

I just made up a really delicious drink.  I find this one deeply satisfying, especially on a hot day.  In my quest to drink more water and hydrate, with my smattering of knowledge of Ayurveda remedies to add lemon to water, I think I’ve got a winner for you! 1 16 oz. glass of pure…
