Eating Healthy

Thank you very much for responding to my e-mail. My skin has the orange peel look to it. I'm hoping that my new eating and exercise program will help in reducing its appearance. Thank you again for your response. You're welcome. There is no cream, lotion or pill you can use that will get rid...

I've read your statements on protein and vegetarians. Without trying to offend you, you should know the scientific literature doesn't support your position.

My girlfriend and I have eaten something that made us feel bad. We have chills, nausea and vomits during the night after having dinner. We think it was indigestion. We'd like to know the best diet in these situations and if to drink milk is good or bad. If you were nauseated or vomiting, milk...
