I'm sure most of you have heard all of the ruckus in the news over the last few years about just how bad man-made trans fats are for your health. If you've been a reader of my newsletter and my "Truth about Six Pack Abs" e-book program, then you definitely know my opinion that these substances are some of...

We are told that for forty years in the wilderness the shoes and clothes of the Israelites miraculously never wore out.

Your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot." (Deut. 29:5) "Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness; so that they "lacked nothing"; their clothes waxed not old and their feet swelled not." (Neh. 9:21) Were their clothes and shoes supernaturally preserved? Or is this just one more account of the Lord supplying all their needs...

Feeding raw meat and its hazards Toxoplasmosis Up until several years ago Neosporosis was misdiagnosed as Toxoplasma Gondii, which is caused by a protozoan that infects warm-blooded animals. The cause of infection is from ingesting raw or undercooked meat such as pork, beef and veal that contains Toxoplasma gondii. The excretion of oocysts in the stools of cats and the ingestion of spores by dogs are other potential sources of infection. Oocysts require 1-3 days under warm conditions and high humidity to produce spores. These infective spores can survive in the environment for months. Only cats excrete the oocysts in their stool. The dog therefore is not capable of infecting other dogs or humans in...

One of the erroneous notions that are associated with Men's Wool Socks is that, only sheep fur is used to make wool.

Bacteria, indeed, have retained their predominant position and hold sway not only by virtue of a long and illustrious history but also for abundant reasons of contemporary vigor. Bacteria give yogurt its tangy flavor and sourdough bread its sour taste. They make it possible for ruminant animals (cows, sheep, goats) to digest plant cellulose and for some plants, (soybean, peas, alfalfa) to convert nitrogen to a more usable form. Bacterial plasma membranes, the functional equivalents of eukaryotic plasma membranes, are referred to variously as cytoplasmic, protoplast, or (in Gram-negative organisms) inner membranes. Similar in overall dimensions and appearance in thin sections to biomembranes from...

A leprechaun dresses in old-fashioned clothes of green, with a red cap, multi-pocketed leather apron, and buckled shoes.

div class="googleright"> Animals typically don’t re-incarnate in the same sense that we do. Because we have an egoic level that animals don’t have, we can have repeated earth lives. Animals have, rather, an astral aspect, which dissipates into the general pool of astrality. This particular difference could well be shifting now, as the forces of spiritual evolution continue to play on all four kingdoms of life on Earth. One constant, however, is that animals and humans do not “inter-carnate.” Each kingdom keeps to itself. Another important difference between animals and humans is entailed in how animals tend to be specialists, while humans are the generalists. Every animal...
