Ask the Doc by Dr. Robert Swain
Myth #1. I don't need to exercise or diet because I take supplements.
If you don't exercise or eat correctly you will never reach the optimal health that you are trying to achieve by taking supplements. All three are equally important. Read More
Best Friends by Malcolm Riordan, DVM
Every year across our nation literally millions of cats are taken into city and county animal control shelters. Ghastly high percentages of those cats are euthanized. In California the average live release rate of cats from animal control shelters for 2010 was only 28%. Nationwide, animal control shelters take in far more cats than they will ever adopt out.

Beyond the Badge by Richard Hannibal
One day the rumbling stopped along the wide black trail where nothing grew. The eyes of the animals living nearby no longer burned from the brownish air that hung close to the ground. The sudden quiet caused a thousand ears to strain. Squirrels rose on their hind legs and sniffed the air for signs of danger. Others looked toward the black trail from the bushes and grass and realized the menace that divided communities was gone. Life among the creatures changed the moment the Silence came. Read More
Dear Abe by George Zidbeck
A guy in Kansas writes, "Your May column prompts me to ask one question. What qualifications do you have, other than bluster, that I should consider before asking your advice?
ABE: Any person who uses the word "bluster" when questioning my credentials automatically disqualifies him/herself from benefitting by one of my learned and studious responses.

The Elements of Life by Lucille Bosco
Let's begin with the Sun in Cancer. For the first three weeks of July, the glorious summer Sun is in the Water element of Cancer until July 22th, when it transitions into the fire element of Leo. While the energies are affected by the element of Water, our emotions will be heightened. Our concerns will be directed toward our homes, families, security and the global home of our planet Earth.

Feel Better Forever by Brian Dorfman
My son Avery jammed his thumb when he was about two years old. I'm embarrassed to admit that it took a while for my wife, Nicole, and I to notice, and then wonder if he was actually born with a crooked thumb – (photos attest to the fact that he did once have a perfect thumb). Read More
The Human Condition by John Bullaro
Firearms have captured the American's psyche. The gun debate is bifurcated into two
distinct groups. The NRA represents one group that believes their myths about gun
ownership. (Discussed below.) The NRA claims that gun ownership is a right enshrined in the second amendment of the constitution, which it is. The second
amendment allows American citizens the right to own a gun, nothing more. It does not say ALL
TYPES OF GUNS. Read More
Surfing Through Life by Paul & Katie Finley
The last two months I have written about something that is dear to our family's heart — our choice to homeschool our three children. I have written about what homeschooling is and what it looks like. This month I would love to share why we homeschool. Again, this is a choice we have made for our family and we do not want anyone to feel judged by this article if they do not homeschool. It is a beautiful fit for OUR children and family and might not be for everyone. Read More
