I’ve got deep pockets. But before you romance scammers get too excited, you should know my deep pockets are not of the monetary kind. They are the kind of deep pockets your dental hygienist discovers, and then she snitches to your dentist, and then he comes to talk to you, while you are still wearing […]

The nutrient dense food that we eat provides our body with key nutrients which allows for the bioelectrical capacity and conductivity.

“It is hard for most people to accept the colossal picture of dishonesty to be traced once we look into this matter of counterfeit foods. It is too late to act on the knowledge that this state exists once we become a victim of cancer, polio, heart disease, diabetes, or arthritis.” In 1956, Dr. Royal Lee […]

A peek at my calendar tells me that Independence Day, my third favorite holiday, is rapidly approaching. Have you noticed that independent thought is a bulwark of the Selene River Press Historical Archives? I sure have. It is an especially strong current in Dr. Royal Lee’s Applied Trophology newsletter, which he published every month from […]

I met my husband because of barbecue, yet barbecue almost kept us apart. I’ll explain. In the earliest years of the early aughts, I was going to school in Austin and working at a local institution called Artz Rib House (yes, with a z). By the end of a six-hour shift delivering heaping plates of […]

If you have had an egg retrieval, then your ovaries might be in an autoimmune reaction phase. Although retrieving one’s own eggs to create high-quality embryos is often necessary during the fertility journey, it is a very invasive procedure. The invasiveness not only stems from the procedure itself but from the pharmaceutically induced follicle development […]

My mother’s mother grew up on a farm in Utah. My husband’s mother grew up on a farm in Indiana. I grew up in a house across from an empty field, and my husband grew up in an old house by a cemetery. For us, no farms in sight. Instead, we have been passed down […]

Why are we talking about AI on the Selene River Press blog? What does this have to do with holistic nutrition resources? Soon enough AI tools will be built into most search engines, browsers, phones, you name it— and being able to discern accurate information in those circumstances requires AI literacy so you know what […]

Meal planning is practically a part-time job. Between finding recipes, predicting cravings, building out the menu, outlining the ingredients, remembering what’s on your shelves and in your fridge, and then actually going shopping to between 2-3 different shops to find the best stuff… there’s nothing worse than plating up the meal only to have a […]

Last week I needed to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy. My husband was home. I occasionally adore him, so I asked him if he needed anything. “Body Fortress,” he replied. “Vanilla.” That’s when I realized my mistake. To ask my husband if he needs anything from the store is to risk losing many […]

This past month of February, we celebrated Black History Month in the United States. As chiropractors, we have the great honor to celebrate our heritage from D.D. Palmer and his first patient, Harvey Lillard. Harvey Lillard, an African American, operated a janitorial service in the Ryan Building in Davenport, Iowa. When, in September 1895, D.D. […]

In thinking about my post for today I remembered a line I heard in some movie somewhere. I don’t remember the context, but I clearly can hear the character stating, “Keep it simple, stupid.” What an intriguing concept! In my effort to find the origins of this phrase, I learned that it comes from the […]

My daily life is part of the ‘paw’some world of canine companionship where wagging tails and wet noses reign supreme! I’ve always had a deep love of animals, dogs being at the top of the totem pole. My four fur babies aren’t just pets; they’re bona fide members of my family. I’ve always preached that […]
