A couple of small incidents happened over the last couple of days which have left me pondering over the meaning of the word commitment. The dictionary says that commitment is “the trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose”. I get the feeling though, that a lot of people see the word commitment in a

My Opinion
When one person kills another through a genuine accident or through no fault of their own it is termed manslaughter. When one person dies at the hands of another person who is knowingly in charge of a lethal weapon, it is murder. And this is what happened to Heath Ledger, murdered by the medical industry

I try very hard not to Dr. bash, (ok, I don’t try THAT hard!), but what they do at times certainly does drive me crazy! This area came up again today when I had a consultation with an elderly patient who was suffering from faintness, dizziness upon standing and some mental confusion. After taking a case

Still on the theme that my DVD “The Emotional Aspects of Healing” covers, I was sent a beautiful article by William Bloom asking the question “Does Everyone Create Their Own Reality?” Following the success of “The Secret”, which although it contains some inspiring ideas, seems to give unaware people the impression that they are omnipotent
