Whether coming from a close friend, the nightly news or from a letter in the mail, it’s hard to face the truth at times. Hear-ing it can really cut to the core of our be-ings.

Today, fitness books are mostly filled with advertisements, pill pushers and un-realistic programs that give people false hope. My intention in this book is to give you real hope and with that you’ll get straight talk.

It is not my intention to force anything on you or to come across in a harsh way. While the words may be tough to hear, understand I don’t know how else to say what I have observed for all these years. We Americans have been HAD because we have not received the truth about what it really takes to be fit and to stay healthy. Quick fixes abound, but the truth is there are no quick fixes that really work…or that last.

It is my responsibility as a fitness professional to provide you with the facts. And it is my hope that you read this with an open mind and that you understand if you don’t do anything about your health today, tomorrow you may say,

“If only I had known.”

IF ONLY YOU HAD KNOWN!

I didn’t have much time to pack my bags that day; matter of fact, I‘m still wearing the same clothes I put on that morning .I met all three of them on the way up here. They said they would hitch a ride, but they were not sure they would be welcome where I was going.

I thought it was unusual to learn how much they knew about me. Did I meet them at some restaurant my family and I went to? Did I see them at the doctor’s office? I know, maybe it was at a bunko party or the golf course? I just couldn’t put my finger on how I knew them until today.

It’s pretty nice here though—peaceful, always something to do, good conversation. However, I sure miss my family. I wish I didn’t have to leave them soon, but how would I have known?

The three of them said they warned me time and time again. How? When? Where? I wondered. I thought I read all the right books and talked to the right people. I even participated at times.

Lazy was probably the one I got along with the best during that short time we spent together. He was the only transparent one of the three. Others might have thought if they saw us together we were twins. We were so much alike.

The other two were much more reserved and timid. Don’t let those guys fool you. I learned quickly they were stubborn old boys with rough edges—two of the biggest know-it-alls I had ever met. They called themselves Denial and Pride. And if you ever met them, I think you would agree they were named correctly.

As I crossed the line, I will never forget what they said to me as we raised our hands to each other and waved goodbye, “If only you had known.”

The health of America is going to get worse before it gets better. Diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, heart disease—are all at epidemic levels. And for the first time in history the kids of today are projected not to live as long as there parents have. The only way for the health of America to get better is for all of us to be personally responsible, change our attitudes toward exercise, and support one another in the process.

The silent threesome of denial, pride, and lazy has been muted by the fantasy fitness land programs promises immediate results. This silent treatment is killing you from the INSIDE OUT.

Until a few years ago, it was thought that Americans were healthy. Of course, that’s not true. We’ve had a health problem for years.

We have had a head problem, too. Most of us think that by ignoring them, our bodies will miraculously get better. Doctor’s saw this coming, but what did they do about it? My doctor’s answer was, “Take two pills and call me in the morning.” (Sound familiar?)

THE BUCK STOPS WHERE?

In the “good years,” more money, more marketing and more-for-me attitudes enabled us to focus on making the big bucks. It allowed us to put off worrying about healthy bodies. The accent was on NOW and not later. But the fiscal wealth we accumulated years ago is NOW being drained by our physical healthcare costs. Eventually, our bad health will consume all the extra dollars we worked so hard to earn.

Some of the responsibility falls with the big corporations, insurance companies and hospital groups. But at the end of the day, the buck stops with YOU. The reality of this situation bites; however, the solution is not to ignore it, but to encourage people to embrace it. Many of you have either given up on yourself or just flat out are living in denial. Either way the choice is still yours. The fact of the matter is there is still hope for America and there is still hope for you, too.

Don’t let the buck stop with you. If you don’t know what to do, ask people like me to help.

Thanks to advances in medicine and understanding, acne treatment is easy to find today. Almost every type of acne can be treated with relative ease. There are a few facts to remember when looking for acne treatment.

Acne Treatment Takes Time

The treatments for acne that are over hyped on television offer little change of overnight changes. Acne does not suddenly clear itself up overnight. With a little patience acne treatments will work but it generally takes about 4 to 7 weeks to start to show improvement. Once the acne begins to improve, you need to continue the acne treatment to stop the acne from appearing again. If you do not see any changes in 4 to 7 weeks then you should talk to your doctor and/or look for another product to try. All good things come to those who wait, and before you know it, you will feel and look better.

Acne Treatment is Different for Everyone

Everyone has different types of skin, eats differently, and lives with different levels of stress. Treatment that works fine for one person may have the opposite effects for another. Acne treatment can involve many complex factors and involve things such as skin type, the initial cause of the acne, and the type of the skin lesions may appear. Other factors such as age may play a role in the length or types of treatment.

Doctor Assisted Acne Treatment

The help of a dermatologist (a doctor trained in skin conditions and acne treatment) may be helpful for some acne sufferers. Your dermatologist may examine you for other medical conditions, diet, lifestyle, age, stress level, environmental factors, fluid intake, and more. The doctor will also be able to access powerful treatments that are not available over the counter.

The main goal of acne treatment is to stop scarring, or at lease to minimize it. Other important goals are reduction in the number of lesions, and to reduce the stress that accompanies an imperfect face. Many dermatologists will choose an acne treatment that involves prescription drugs. These drugs may involve either topical (applied to the skin) or taken orally. The doctor may recommend the use of more than one medication simultaneously.

Acne will respond to drugs or other treatments the best when started early. The earlier the acne treatment begins the less chance for scarring or other related problems. Progress may be slowed by takes other medications that interfere with the acne medication so always check with you doctor when in doubt.

Acne Treatment Summary

The path to the best form of treatment may involve testing different medications to find the one that works best for you. Over the counter, or doctor assisted acne treatment is up to you. Do not forget that proper treatment of acne takes time, there is no overnight cure. Always follow the directions on the label of your acne product as closely as possible, as well as any information you receive from a doctor, or health care worker.

The Mediterranean Diet is a healthy way of eating that was adopted by people who wanted to mimic the basic elements of the way that people in the Mediterranean countries eat. But it is more than a diet. The Mediterranean Diet is a nutritional model that adopts the diets of people who live in countries like Italy and Greece.

And what can you eat when you follow this diet? Some of the most basic building blocks of many Mediterranean diet recipes include fruits, veggies, cereals, bread, rice, and other things from the earth. One of the staples in the Mediterranean Diet is wheat, since grain is important in any nutritious diet. Different kinds of fish are an important staple in the nutritional model as well. So is red wine and olive oil.

Although this diet was introduced in the mid 1940s, it was not until the early 1990s that it really became noticed and began to pick up any speed. People who live in the Mediterranean countries have much lower cholesterol levels, and because of this, the diet is getting attention. There’s another compelling reason why people have to come love the many Mediterranean diet recipes. It’s rumored that the diet has properties that help the body fight cancer, too.

Is the Mediterranean Diet right for you? Is it time for you to jump on the bandwagon? Whether or not this is the best one for you remains to be seen; it’s just another way of eating. There is no question about the fact that this is a healthier way of eating, but green vegetables, calcium, and other essential vitamins and minerals are found in the same foods that are involved in many of the basic Mediterranean diet recipes.

If a new and healthy way of eating interests you, look around for some of the helpful tips and Mediterranean diet recipes that can be found. It just might be the way to go if you want to live a healthier life.

There could be little tiny parasites taking up residence in your cat’s eat. They are known as earmites. It may sound like a rather simple thing that can be taken care of easily enough, but you should realize that if this problem goes untreated, it can trigger a serious yeast infection.

Your cat will scratch and scratch, causing tiny blood vessels in their ears to burst. The swelling and disfiguration that results could be permanent. Ear mites that are left untreated for long enough can cause a rupture of the ear drum, seizures, and even death.

Is your cat scratching a lot? Digging into its ears, shaking its head back and forth? It’s quite possible that your cat is suffering from earmites. However, you should know that a cat can be infested with ear mites and show no signs or symptoms. Often times, how sensitive the cat is to the mites’ saliva can determine a reaction.

Even if there are only a few mites, a cat who is allergic to the saliva will become miserable and scratch excessively. If you see any signs at all of fluid in or around your cats ear, or if she is scratching and acting strangely, it is possible that she has cat ear mites. You should get her treated at once if you suspect this is the case.

You should also know if you have other animals that chances are those other animals can become infested very easily. If it turns out you have to treat one of your cats, absolutely check all your other cats for the same symptoms or take them to the veterinarian too. The condition can make your cat absolutely miserable. The sooner she receives treatment, the better she (and you) will feel.

My name is Greg Ryan. I am a high profile fitness expert, champion bodybuilder and best selling author. However, I didn’t start out as one. I had to learn through class rooms and experience. There are no better teachers than exercising on the floors of all those health clubs I visited for so many years.

I had no clue how to workout properly, how many reps, sets, minutes on a treadmill or foods to eat. But, I learned through trial and error. It amazes me how I have kept going consistently all these years coming from a non disciplined background. Here are ten things that have helped me lose weight more efficiently during each visit and have helped me keep going for twenty years straight:

1. Treat your time in the gym as your quiet time for YOU!

2. Set a time frame each time you work out. Walk out if you are not finished!

3. Never do the same workout more than twice in a row. Maybe just change the order of a piece of equipment up.

4. Monitor your heart rate EVERY time you exercise your heart.

5. Never be afraid to ask for help.

6. Do not waste much time between exercises.

7. Focus on the benefits and how you will feel afterwards rather than the discomfort during your workout.

8. Realize you will not be at your best each and every time.

9. Learn to listen to your body more than your mind.

10. Journal, journal, and journal.

Now let me give you my magic secret to being successful in losing weight, gaining muscle, or just general fitness: consistency + variety + efficiency = results all the time!
Each day you workout out, remember; it’s about the big picture. It’s about sticking to it for the long haul. It’s about being sold out!

Do you have cancer? Do you know that chemotherapy is one of the common treatments of cancer? Do you also know that when you have chemotherapy treatments, you do not come out healthier, and in most areas you will come out in worse condition than before you began chemo?

Chemotherapy actually destroys your vital organs and affects the way they function. This includes your liver, kidneys, heart and more. When your doctor advises you, he or she will give you an estimate of how many months you have to live. Your doctor will tell you that you need to seek treatment. This can be one of the most frightening things you will ever go through.

Your instincts will tell you to listen to everything your doctor tells you. But you need to seek a second opinion if he says chemotherapy. Natural treatments work very well. Experts who specialize in natural treatments will concentrate on healing not only your body, but your mind as well.

A natural treatment specialist (if he or she is a good one) will never approach you by telling you that you only have so much time to live. They will support and encourage you in your treatment, and celebrate your success.

Any doctor who sets limits on your life isn’t wise. Many patients were told by their doctors that they will only live a few months, or that they will never walk again. Many of those same patients proved those doctors wrong.

Just because he or she has an MD after their name doesn’t mean they know everything. Know your options. You may be surprised to find out how effective natural cancer treatments are when you learn more about them!

Don’t limit yourself and close your eyes to knowledge out of fear. Don’t let a doctor limit your life and expose you to poisons that can kill you.
