Welcome to Health and Wellness Resource!

Website Overview

fruit-smoothieThis website is an information resource.

The intent and objective of this website is to provide fact-based information from a wide variety of sources, and it covers a wide range of topics and issues using the broad concept of "Health and Wellness" described below.

This website has a Search feature and a Blog Index to help you quickly find information on any topic in the blog.

The blog consists of abstracts (short, concise summaries of essential information about a topic), as well as in-depth articles. All information is sourced with links to more detailed information.

Website Concept

This website was created with the idea and concept that "Health and Wellness" includes anything and everything that affects way of life or quality of life as it applies to humans, all of the animals and other living creatures and organisms that exist on planet earth, the earth itself, and beyond.

Obviously, with such a broad scope, that's a "universe" of information to try and cover, and even with a staff of many people it would be impossible to include all possible topics. But, because life on planet earth today is so interconnected and so many things are changing so fast, it doesn't seem reasonable to limit the scope to just a few topics.

Having said that, my "internal compass" tends towards topics like medicine, social and racial injustice, and the environment.

After spending the last eight years focusing on politics, as of January 1, 2024, my focus on this website will return to its original intent. Expect to see a huge shift in the topics and content I choose to research and document moving forward.

Website Structure

Home

The Home page explains everything you need to know about this website (the page you’re reading now)

Blog

The Blog is the "meat" of this website, consisting of articles on various Health and Wellness topics and issues. The information in each article has been assimilated and summarized from one or more sources, providing you with the essence of what you need to know, along with links (in orange text) to sources and more detailed information.

New blog posts are added as new issues arise, and existing posts are updated as new information becomes available.

For topics and issues that are dynamic and ongoing, articles have dates of entry (with the most recent updates at the top). These articles are updated later as new information becomes available. I suggest bookmarking posts of interest so you can easily check back later for updates.

Occasionally, an ongoing topic or issue is so large and it's changing so fast that it's impossible to keep up with the daily updates in the most "user-friendly" way. In this case, you'll see a list of "raw" links (not clickable and not in orange text) and little or no verbiage. You can read the titles of the articles in the links and simply copy/paste the individual links into your browser to read the articles.

In some cases I share my own ideas and opinions in a section entitled "Commentary" which appears in black text and is usually at the end of the post. Sometimes, commentary will be spread throughout a post, in black text and italicized. On occasion I will post an Op-Ed (Opinion-Editorial). Otherwise, all information is based strictly on the links and sources noted.

Of course, comments on articles are welcomed and appreciated. Each article has a "Leave a Reply" section at the bottom where you can leave a comment.

Blog Index

The Blog Index page is an alphabetical list of article keywords. Use this page to easily find what you’re looking for.

Another way to easily find information is by using the Search box at the top of the right sidebar.

Articles are also grouped by month published and category (Archives and Categories sections on the right sidebar).

Reference

The Reference page is a categorized list of links to a vast array of websites related to topics and issues such as Environment, Government, Medical and Health, News, Public Policy and Research, and more.

Website Subscription

Near the top of the right sidebar is a section where you can subscribe to the blog. Just enter your e-mail address and click SUBSCRIBE. You’ll receive a confirmation e-mail (if it’s not in your Inbox, check your Junk and Spam folders). To confirm your subscription, click on the link in the e-mail. Then, each time a new article is posted, you’ll receive an e-mail with a direct link to the new article.

Note that e-mails are sent only when new articles are posted (not when existing articles are updated). To track updates to an existing article, bookmark it in your browser and check back to read the latest updates (you may also have to refresh the page in your browser to see the updates).

  1. Dear David,

    I'm so grateful that you've taken the time to "digest" an overwhelming amount of information so I can (continue to) learn from you. May your information and insights inspire many. Great love always, D.

  2. David, I love your second paragraph, awareness is the KEY to anything in life. Funny thing is before I became "aware", I never knew I lived so long without being aware. Daily meditations and readings helped me bring stillness and peace into my mind and life, therefore I was able to listen, and be "aware" of the simple and most important aspects of my life. To just Be. To stay in the moment, be grateful for the good and bad that happens in my life because both have lessons to be learned. My Journey continues to grow, as do I, because I choose not to be satisfied with staying in one "place" in my life, which is very different from not being content. My life is a continuing journey to love, learn and pay forward in anyway that promotes happiness and good health. Love your webSite David, and your commitment to a better, more informed Universe. I was born on a Thursday, so it only makes sense that I have "Far to go"!!! Thanks for sharing your talents. I'll be on here probably more than you'll like! Haha. Carry one my Friend.
