If you've ever been puzzled by the behavior of the opposite sex, you're not alone. Men and women are very different from each other.  The same hormones that create physical differences in our bodies, also create differences in our brains and the way our senses receive information.  Understanding these differences can go a long way to helping us get along better. 

If you struggle with weight problems, here are some tips that have helped me maintain my weight and even start losing some excess pounds.  It's not about will-power, it's about changing your body's metabolism and your relationship with food. 

Just prior to the turn of this past century, herbs were enjoying some very positive press. When I wrote this article, a period of favorable coverage of herbs and natural healing in the press had just ended.  The media praise botanical medicines enjoyed in the late 1990s turned negative again.  This is a revision of an article I wrote several years ago on the safety of herbs and supplements.  I think the information is still useful, especially since we continue to encounter some very negative publicity from time to time.  The article is several pages long, so be sure to look through all of it.

I don't hide the fact that I'm not a big fan of public education.  In fact, one of the most important decisions I made in my life was when I decided I wasn't going to let school interfere with my education (or at least my love of learning).  I made this decision in the 8th grade when I got in trouble with two teachers for being too creative.  In 1980, during my last year of college, I worked as an undergraduate research assistant in the Department of Instructional Science at Brigham Young University.  I was able to experiment in a special class on learning and teaching during the fall semester.  The information presented in this webinar is based on what I learned in that class.

We make a lot of jokes about PMS (like I do in this article), but the truth is that we need to respect the natural cycle of a woman's body.  If there are problems that arise with mensus, then this article discusses some emotional and physical remedies for them.

I believe the hiatal hernia is one of the underlying causes of many people's chronic health problems.  I've written an extensive article on this problem, found on this website, but here are two video presentations (featuring my wife Elena before we were married) showing how to identify and correct a hiatal hernia.

This is a recording of a free webinar on The Energetics of Money and Prosperity.  Based on the law of the harvest and the law of the simplest case, I provide a brief history of economics, helping people understand what economy is based on and what money really is.  Then, I give my suggestions for how to create personal prosperity in your life.  If you like this information, and want to learn more, I highly recommend reading the book Killing Financial Cows: Overcoming the Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity.  There is a review of it in Steven's Recommended Reading.  This book clearly articulates what I'm trying to teach in this webinar in much greater depth.

In the webinar I mention a story that greatly influenced my life.  It is called That Something by W. W. Woodbridge.  Click on the title and you will find a link to read the whole story.  If you are struggling financially in your life, I encourage you to read it. 

These are the handouts for the free webinar, The Energetics of Money and Prosperity, held on April 28, 2009. 

In my Dr. Mom-Dr. Dad course, I talk a lot about reversing the pain of injuries by using techniques like pressure, massage and rapid-light stroking. However, as I’ve been working on a generic book on the same topic, I remembered that I’d left out something very important. I realized that I hadn’t addressed the value of these techniques for relieving chronic pain, such as arthritis pain. When I remembered the experience I had with my knee, I realized that it was quite a remarkable story, one that dramatically demonstrates the value of these techniques. So, I’d like to share it with you.

A few years ago there were dire warnings and predictions about a new strain of Avian or “bird” flu that was threatening a flu epidemic like the one that occurred in 1918 and killed millions of people worldwide.  After 9/11 there were scares about anthrax and biological warfare.  It seems like there's always something we're being "warned" out in the news.

Forgive me for being cynical, but do you ever get the feeling that the news media is out to keep everybody in a constant state of fear?  Yes, it's true that we could have an epedemic of the flu or some other contagious disease.  It's also true that disasters can strike at any time.  But if we're prepared with the right supplies, and the right attitude, there's no reason to be afraid.
