You cried out to us through your songs Your life played out before us As if you had a choice in the matter We saw you slowly crumble, Sometimes stumble, Many times mumble, As we watched with bated breath It seemed as if you had it all Beauty, Money, Fame, And that voice, Spun like silk Could have made angels cry Much too young to die so soon We were supposed to be given many more years by way of your lyrics But now you’re gone The world loved you more than you loved yourself You loved your addiction more than anything else Eventually you allowed it to exhume you Steal your soul First comes the rise Then the fall It’s always harder when you’re coming down Especially off that smack high,  crack high,  alcohol or prescription high Are You a Billy Holiday Or a Marilyn Monroe How about a Whitney Houston A Janice Joplin perhaps An Amy Winehouse for sure All of whom sang the Blues Begging to be rescued Underlying messages wov

This past week Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women, thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and  he mentioned  that the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms.

During a meeting a colleague turned to me and said that she could tell the difference between how sharp her mind is when she has her protein in the morning in comparison to when she doesn’t eat her protein in the morning.  Basically her brain needs a jump start every morning via protein.     What happens after eating a breakfast that is high in protein is that is raises the tyrosine levels in the brain which in turn causes the brains neurons to produce norepinephrine and dopamine.  As a result these neurotransmitters (norepinephrine and dopamine) increase alertness and brain activity. It is the neurotransmitters that allow your brain to network and communicate. The amino acids that
