Cancer treatment is a very sensitive issue to me. People close to my heart have fought this dreaded disease, some have won and survived while some finally succumbed to Cancer after a long and hard battle.
This is the reason why, while I was on the front page of MSN (and I don’t know why I haven’t changed the default page in Firefox) this morning, I just had to click on the link which took me to a page about Suzanne Somers and the alternative cancer treatment she subscribes to. Apparently, the American Cancer Society disagrees with her revelations on her book, Knockout, and considers the alternative cancer treatment featured in the book as risky.
Dr. Otis Browley, a practicing oncologist and the Chief Medical Officer of the American Cancer Society wrote a piece on CNN, saying,
She is a wonderful actress, and I wish she would stick to her first chosen profession. I know some people will hear her message, follow her advice because of her celebrity status and be harmed. Her medical advice may even cause death.
Personally, I do agree that because of Suzanne Somers’ status or popularity (She and her book have already been featured on various publications, websites and even on Oprah, of course there’s some relative popularity there), a lot of people who are seeking alternative treatment for cancer may just follow her advice.
I am happy that what she’s sharing with all of us actually works for her, but does it follow it would work for everyone else?
I am a member of Nestle’s mailing list, and I’m glad I am. While checking my email this afternoon, I found out about the Nido Fortified Science Discovery Center. I’ve heard about the Science Discovery Center before, but I have not really seen its website before or have heard of anyone I know having been their before.
I went to their website and browsed around, and, by the looks of it, it seems like an interesting place and I really, really want to visit it sometime soon.
If you happen to do your grocery shopping at SM supermarkets, you may see specially-marked Nido products. Go grab one of them so you can get discounts and free passes to the Nido Fortified Science Discovery Center!
Childhood is of course a very special time in anyone’s life, and the surroundings that a child experiences at this time are very important in creating a comfortable, stimulating and fun environment. This article intends to look at how children’s beds can add to this environment and what kinds of designs are available.
There are of course a great deal of children’s beds available across the country and indeed the world. Many of these bed companies mass produce beds that are aimed at the mass market. While these mass market options can sometimes offer some unique designs, it is the smaller companies that often produce the most sought after beds.
So what kind of children’s beds designs can you expect to find these days. Well, the truth is that if you can think of bed design, then it is probably on the market somewhere. But it might take a bit of effort to actually locate it!

Are you a coin collector? Then I am sure you have come across old, sometimes even “dirty” coins, the ones that sometimes have hardened soil on their surfaces. To some of you, that certainly wouldn’t do for your collection.
A note of caution, My Coin Collecting reminds us of the first rule of coin cleaning:
The first rule of coin cleaning is: If you don’t know its value, don’t clean it, or if you think it is valuable, don’t clean it, or if you know it is valuable, don’t clean it. In other words, do not clean your discovered coins; leave them untouched and stored in proper holders. The reason for this is that coin dealers and collectors are interested in purchasing coins in their original condition and natural state of preservation.

Getting ready to unwind with your special someone or your friends? A bottle of champagne or red wine can surely lighten up your mood after a stressful day.
But wine is always best served chilled, and nothing is more annoying than you and your date having to wait for it while it bides its time in the refrigerator or in the ice bucket.
