As promised, a follow-up on our spuds experience (link). Day one was a complete surprise to me despite the fact that I was already aware of the science behind the reasoning for trying this body hack.
I personally have histamine intolerance issues, a nasty little chemical found in our own body and in some foods. It is responsible for allergy sufferer’s itchy and miserable existence.
I’m personally allergic to almost everything; fur, food, pollen, mold … you get the idea. Histamine intolerance is more than just being allergic.

Fr. Glenn: Defining Oneself
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, here we are in yet another election year. Oh boy, oh joy … to be regaled once again by politicians in their bids to be elected, they trying to walk tightropes between extremes so as to glean the max possible votes. If it wasn’t so serious, it would be amusing as they tread on eggshells during debates and press conferences so as to not offend—or offend as few as possible—likely voters. Thus, experience has shown that positions in public debates held during campaigns to curry max favor are typically poor barometers of predicting ultimate actions in office.
We’ve all seen people Read More

Rep. Andrea Romero
STATE News:
SANTA FE — HB 65, which modernizes New Mexico’s legal protections for renters, passed the House Saturday by a vote of 38 to 27.

Gruninger: Strength Pose Of The Month Side Arm Plank
By JACCI GRUNINGER, MS, C-IAYT, ERYT500
Los Alamos
Balance, strength and grace. We all want it don’t we?
Okay, maybe I am only looking for the combination of those three things. Side Arm Plank Pose, to me, is the epitome of these three characteristics. I remember when this pose was out of my league and so difficult.
Yes, even yoga teachers have to start somewhere. However, with patience first, then practice, I also remember the day I moved into this posture with confidence and ease.
It was incredible (I’ll admit it took me a year) to feel myself float from down dog or plank into side arm plank without Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Wider View
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
We have sort of a love/hate relationship with our mailbox, or, in these days, maybe our inbox. Oh boy … maybe I’ll get some letter/email from a friend or long-absent relation whom I’ve missed, or some other good or fun news. But … then there’s the inevitable bills, taxes, periodic bad news, unexpected problem that crops up—some more often than others.
So, we often get consumed with our day-to-day concerns and problems. Indeed, we tend to magnify even the more minor things until they seem looming above us like the mythical sword of Damocles, sometimes making for toss-and-turn Read More
