CRACKHEAD NATION

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
 I recently became aware of a new phenomenon in Senior Citizen social circles. Many events now require adherence to an important rule: No one can talk about the prescription medications they are taking. The premise being if one person started talking about it, the entire event would soon become [...]

POISONOUS PESTICIDE SPRAYING TO CONTINUE IN CENTRAL PARK

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
The poisonings continue. Despite overwhelming evidence that the pesticides being used  (Glyphosate is the active ingredient) are known neurotoxins and carcinogens and are shown to cause miscarriages and birth defects, the senior management of Central Park flatly refuses to stop the spraying. Hiding behind the local law, instead of [...]

BAN PESTICDE SPRAYING IN PARKS AND SCHOOLS

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
I was disgusted to learn that GLYPHOSATE, one of the most toxic substances known, is routinely being sprayed in Central Park in an effort to kills weeds that grow between cobblestones. THE HORROR! Weeds in cobblestones.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in RoundUp Pro, a pesticide made by the [...]

CELEBRITY SKINNY-That’s not sexy, that’s disgusting

By Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
 In the past several weeks I’ve run into three celebrities who have embraced the super skinny look. I was on line in a store behind Sarah Jessica Parker. From behind she looked like a crackhead. Her jeans hung off her and her body looked like a skeleton.

DR. CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP BREAKS THE PARTY LINE

 
 By Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
In what I consider to be a monumental victory, Dr. Christiane Northrup, a mainstream M.D. and a New York Times best selling author on wellness, has done the previously unthinkable.
She has endorsed sensible exposure to the sun.  In other words, she’s saying get outdoors and don’t be afraid [...]

DEADLY TOXINS LURKING NEAR SCHOOLS ALL ACROSS THE LAND

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
The USA Today has been running a series exposing toxic dumps near schools. And while some of these dumps are known, many others are not, and these poisons are making their way into our kid’s lungs, blood and bone marrow. And NO- not all the schools are in western [...]

Cancer Walk Season

by Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
On the subways, I’m noticing the billboards for the upcoming cancer walks. The Avon and the American Cancer Society walks are weeks away.
I’ve participated in these walks (my mother is a two time survivor, and I’ve lost several relatives to cancer) and I’m concerned that while these events [...]

CELL PHONES AND CANCER

No one wants this to be true, but the circumstantial evidence is mounting. I have read reports from all over the world that say a link will soon be established. I use a cell phone (though I have cut down my usage dramatically since reading the European Union’s recommendations) and this is obviously a troublesome [...]

WALL STREET JOURNAL ON DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS AND VITAMINS

by Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
You don’t need the Wall Street Journal to know that many supplements are complete garbage. If you’ve been reading my blog and my other published articles, along with my frequent national radio appearances, you know that I have tried them all back in the day.  Many are pure [...]
