I never thought I would be able to live without my alarm clock, especially not while I’m working a full-time job that starts at 8am and is located 1.5 hours from my home.  I was wrong. Using the principles outlined in Dr. William Dement’s book, The Promise of Sleep, I no longer wake up to the sound of an alarm.  Instead, my body wakes up at its natural time each morning. I even have time [...]

As our experiments with cupping therapy led me to notice the difference in my lymphatic circulation following a good and a bad night’s rest, I naturally became more interested in the subject of sleep. Finding a decent book about sleep is more difficult than you would think.  Eventually I came across The Promise of Sleep by Dr. William Dement.  From his time in medical school in the 1950′s when he helped discover and document Rapid [...]

A few months back, I explained how insight from Tim Ferriss’s book, The 4-Hour Workweek, was influencing my efforts for The Cellulite Investigation.  I learned a lot from Tim’s first book so I was excited to read his take on health in his next release, The 4-Hour Body. There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding The 4-Hour Body (aka “4HB”) in the blogosphere.  Even my blogging friend Cheeseslave gave it a try.  I’ve only read [...]

The Church of Modern Medicine Dr. Mendelsohn was a director at Chicago’s Michael Reese Hospital, an associate professor at the University of Illinois Medical School, [...]

I have several new books on my bookshelf right now.  The one I’m most excited about is Healing Wise by Susun Weed. The book was recommended by a fellow cellulite investigator when she mentioned a recipe it contains for a homemade herbal conditioner (thanks, Leah!). Just 18 pages in, I already experienced that goose-bump sensation that tells me when a book is going to have important information for our case. About the Wise Woman Tradition [...]
