Here's a little secret your doctor probably never told you: a simple fish oil could be the key ingredient to a long, happy life. This miracle fat (if I may be so bold as to call it that) might not only prevent heart attacks and help you avoid a stroke - it could also protect you from depression and other brain disorders.
Mountains of evidence clearly show that special fats known as Omega-3 Fatty Acids (or N-3 fats) greatly enhance the health of the brain, as well as virtually every cell in the body. Omega-3 fats are a group of polyunsaturated fats commonly found in plants, fish, algae and flaxseed. These polyunsaturated fats are the "good guys," while trans fatty acids (the partially hydrogenated fats found in vegetable oils) and omega-6 fats are the "bad guys."

Beware the Dangers of Vaccinations
Most people have at least heard about the controversy surrounding the possible harmful effects of some vaccines. What is less known is that even greater dangers exist than are being conveyed to the general public. Most scientific observers have attributed the dramatic fall in infectious diseases to the appearance of widespread vaccination, despite recent evidence that some of that credit is unjustified. For example, an abundance of evidence has shown that that improved public health measures and nutrition - not vaccines - have played the major role in the sudden decline in most of the infectious diseases plaguing mankind.
Likewise, there is growing evidence that vaccinations are not providing the protection that they are touted to provide. For example, all cases of polio occurring after the introduction of the polio vaccine have been traced to the vaccine itself. Other vaccines, such as those for diphtheria and pertussus, have been shown to have high failure rates.

My Favorite Quotes
"Dancing is just a conversation between two people...talk to me" ~Hope Floats
"I thought we were invincible. But now I know that the things that people in love do to each other, they remember. And if they stay together, it's not because they forget. It's because they forgive." ~Indecent Proposal
Why do you like them so much?
Because they stand on a wall and say, "Nothing's going to hurt you tonight, not on my watch." ~A Few Good Men
Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to. ~Jack Nicholson, A Few Good Men
They didn't agree on much
In fact, they rarely agreed on anything
They fought all the time
And they challenged each other everyday
But in spite their differences
They had one thing in common
They were crazy about each other
~The Notebook
"Get busy living, or get busy dying." ~Andy Dufresne
"All things end badly, or else they wouldn't end." ~Tom Cruise, Cocktail
Flanagan's advice to his unborn child: If Jordan gives birth to a fine Irish son / There will be Cocktails and Dreams for him one day to run / A business that will yield the financial windfall / To be franchised in every suburban shopping mall. / If a daughter arrives to bless our clan / I guess the shit will finally hit the fan / But this I shall promise thee / I'll never let her marry a guy like me. / Still if our child is the naughtiet of girls or the wildest of young men / I swear I'll be the best dad I can / And never ever get spooked again." ~Tom Cruise, Cocktail
"Why is it that the bigger the line, the greater the temptation to cross it?" ~Grey's Anatomy

Great Joke
Recently a "Husband Super Store" opened where women could go to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out over five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended.
The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you HAD to choose a man from that floor; if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to leave the place, never to return.
A couple of girlfriends went to the shopping centre to find some husbands.
First floor
The door had a sign saying, "These men have jobs and love kids."
The women read the sign and said, "Well, that's better than not having a job or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they went.
Second floor
The sign read, "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking."
"Hmmm," said the ladies, "But, I wonder what's further up?"
Third floor
This sign read, "These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework."
"Wow," said the women, "Very tempting." But there was another floor, so further up they went."
Fourth floor
This door had a sign saying "These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak."
"Oh, mercy me," they cried, "Just think what must be awaiting us further on!"
So up to the fifth floor they went.
Fifth floor
The sign on that door said, "This floor is empty and exists only to prove that women are f**king impossible to please. The exit is to your left, we hope you fall down the stairs."

Missing Jessie Davis
Okay so I know I am a crazy fanatic when it comes to health issues, but I decided to give it a break and write about other things going on in the world. I don't know if any of you have been following the Jessie Davis disappearance but today a baby showed up on a school nurse's doorstep, 45 miles away from Davis' home. It is possible that this baby could be Jessie's although officials are not sure if there is a connection. What is this world coming to? How can someone kidnap a pregnant woman?! I just don't understand. I pray that Davis and her baby are alright.

Unnecessary Testing Can Be Fatal
With yearly check-ups — even with follow-up exams — you may not be getting the most accurate tests to root out diseases before they have a chance to sap your energy and your vitality — or even take your life. It’s quite probable that some of the tests you’ve been subjected too are not the very best (or safest) tools to get the job done. Unnecessary tests, such as a cholesterol test, may result in complications or even death. Get informed and learn more about which tests you need and when you need them.

Will You Outlive Your Own Memory?
While Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia continue to strike down victims at an unprecedented pace, you don’t need to surrender to the living hell of outliving your own memory. Especially when so much scientific evidence indicates that one major factor (totally within your control) demonstrates such a close link to your brain function. That factor is your diet. And it’s not just memory. Diet influences your behavior, your ability to concentrate, your IQ, even the potential to commit criminal or anti-social acts. Learn more about memory and diets now.
