On my way to a UCF Football game, John and I ran into the Basketball team signing autographs. John insisted I get a picture with Tacko Fall, who is 7’6” and studying engineering. Last season he was hurt and so this year we all look forward to his playing well for the team. Yes, this …
Spice it up!
I’ve always loved spicy foods, but it wasn’t until I was trying to find a way of beating cancer with nutrition that I really educated myself on using organic spices and herbs for healing. Daily, I do my best to incorporate the following into my meals. Some days I do better than others, but always …
