This weekend I spent some time at a Sam Horn seminar www.SamHorn.com ; if you don't know her I can only say that this woman has a brilliant mind. She cuts through the fog, the mustard, and the sh*t.
One of my big insights during the conference is that I don't know what it is you're looking for. What your beliefs are for good health. Sam came up with a series of questions, but lets talk about the first of them: What does 'good health' mean to you?
Now don't go rolling your eyes, its not as simple as all that. In our group, and answers included: good sex, pain-free, not short of breath, looking good. None of us had the same answer. My answer: It's when your physical being does not limit the things that you want to accomplish.
Have you wanted to take a hike or go to an outdoor art show, only to hesitate as you're not sure that you can keep up with your friends, or if the weather might be too warm for you? Have you had to consider if you want to take an exotic vacation, as it might be too rigorous? The young don't consider these things, they throw themselves into these activities. I find that I'm no longer young, and if I want to do all the things that life has to offer me, I need to reclaim my health.
So, how about you? Is your health holding you back? What does 'good health' mean to you? Email me at

Sign over a gynecologist's office: "Dr. Jones, at your cervix."
Door to endoscopy:
"To expedite your visit, please back in"

"Hello. Can we pick your nose?"
In a hospital:
"If we see smoke, we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action."
On a maternity room door:
"Push. Push. Push."
At an optometrist's office:
"If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place."
In a podiatrist's office:

A new medical facility with several different specialists opened in a trendy part of the city last month.
Wanting to be different and creative, the administration decided that each doctor's office f would, in some way, be representative of his practice.
So, when construction was complete, the eye doctor's door had a peep hole, the orthopedist's door had a broken hinge, the psychiatrist's door was painted all kinds of crazy colors, and the proctologist's door was left open - just a crack.
"We have the results back from your test and... I'm sorry, you have an extremely contagious deadly disease known as G.A.S.H."
"G.A.S.H?" replies the man. "What the heck is that?"
"It's a combination of gonorrhea, AIDS, SARS and herpes," explains the doctor.
"My gosh, Doc!" screams the man in a panic, "what are we going to do?"
"Well, we're going to put you on a strict diet of pizza and pancakes," says the doctor matter-of-factly.
"Will that cure me?"
"No," says the doctor, "but it's the only food that will fit under the door."
