Stuff Worth Reading

If you’re looking to broaden your horizons, nothing beats reading a good book or an editorial that doesn’t repeat the same headlines over and over again!

NewspapersNewspapers Worth Reading

These days, it’s hard to determine how much of what you’re reading is true. And even if it is, what aren’t they telling you? At the end of an article, do you end up with more questions than answers? Most of the mainstream media outlets (TV & Newspapers) in North America are owned by the same half dozen Big Wigs who also own Pharmaceutical companies. These bigwigs actually dictate what they will allow reporters to talk about and what to say. If you’re starting to feel a little manipulated by the media, it’s time to read some alternative editorials.

Uncensored News:

  • So, if you REALLY want to know what’s going on, The New Agora is a FREE (are you?) paper available at various locations and online. Do you want to be like sheep in a herd and just follow blindly because people in power would NEVER lie to you? Or should you do some homework, look behind the scenes, check out the fine print and read between the lines…?  And if browsing online is your preferred reading method, here’s their site: The New Agora

Books Worth ReadingBooks

Many books are available in a digital format these days but, hopefully, hard (and soft) cover copies will never go out of style. The following are books worth reading that will definitely open your eyes in many directions. Very informative!

  • “The China Study” by T. Colin Campbell, PhD & Thomas M. Campbell II, MD (2006).  This book is written in such a way that makes reading easy for those of us not familiar with medical terminology.  These factual, government-funded, scientific studies were performed mostly in Asia over dozens of years. Don’t let the word “China” confuse you about its relevance in North America. The findings are relevant if you’re a human being, regardless of geography or race.

Ground-Breaking Results:

The results from The China Study were revealing and ground-breaking. But not what the government wanted to hear, so the information went “underground”.  It became a secret known only to very few in medical and scientific circles – until the Drs. Campbell wrote this book.  If you only read one book in your life, this should be it! Also, check out his website Center for Nutrition Studies where you can learn just about every thing to do with health. You can even take courses for Certificates and get Credits for Continuing Education in the field of nutrition.
