Dr Mercola posted a health tip

“Before taking any medication, ask yourself this fundamental question: do the benefits outweigh the risks?”
I thought of another you could ask, “Is there a food or herb that has the same or a similar action WITHOUT the down sides?” Or yet another, even better one, “What lifestyle change would I have to effect to not have the problem?” OR you could even go the whole hog and ask, “Am I willing to sacrifice my money and potentially my life to drug side effects by giving drug companies control over my health, or lack of it, or am I prepared to take responsibility for my own health and educate myself and alter my lifestyle to attain optimal health?”
I know, pretty heavy.
But you know what?
The people you leave behind think that your premature death is pretty heavy too.
Your call.

GLOBAL ERUPTION

During the early hours of August 1st, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a complex global disturbance on the Earth-facing side of the sun. Most of the sun’s northern hemisphere was involved in the event, which included a long-duration C3-class solar flare, a “solar tsunami”, and a massive filament eruption. As a result of these blasts, a coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading toward Earth. High-latitude geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible when the cloud arrives a few days hence. Check
