A Message of Love

My name is Matthew. For five and a half years I struggled with a unidentifiable, supposedly "chronic" illness before I finally made peace with it and began to heal. I am now well on my way to great health. Where once I had no energy for anything, now I work out several times a week. Where before I had horrible anxiety and panic attacks, I'm now centered and happy more often than not. With this blog I share my experiences from this journey, all of which should help you on your own healing path. I provide information about spiritual/emotional aspects of healing as well as physical ones, sometimes even posting inspiring poetry, essays, or links to helpful sites.

If you have experiences of your own that you would like to share, I welcome you to send them to me so that I can possibly post them if I feel they can be of use to other people.

Feel free to share these posts anywhere you feel like doing so. Post them on Facebook, email them, print them out, or whatever. It is my hope that together we can build a site that not only helps people, but also enriches and brings joy to our lives.

If you would like to support this effort, please consider making a donation through PayPal to: artful_dodger_47 (an official PayPal account is in the works). Don't forget to add yourself in the "Follow by Email" space!

One final note: feel free to contact me, if you would like, at beautytheory@gmail.com. I am available to do individual healing and coaching work. Hablo español, también.

Should Sugar Be Regulated as a Toxic Substance?

Fact: too much sugar is bad for you.

Fact: many of us have known this for a while.

Fact: the larger scientific community is finally starting to catch on.

In this interview on NPR's "Science Friday" program, an expert talks about the harmful effects of sugar on the body, why we're getting too much of it, what is and isn't being done about it, and more. He even argues that sugar should be regulated like any other controlled substance, since it can mimic other drugs in terms of its effect on the body.

It's worth checking out. . . unless, of course, you don't value your health.
