Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
 If your child is lethargic or lazy, if he is inactive and/or overweight, NOW is the time to take drastic steps before permanent lifestyle habits take hold and become resistant to change.
As a parent you, (as do I) have a moral imperative to give your child every opportunity you [...]

ANTI-AGING IS ALWAYS A SCAM

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
 You can’t anti-age. It’s impossible. So if any organization, service or product claims to help you “anti-age” then prepare to be ripped off. It continues to amaze me that so many people are still falling for these scams. Pills, potions, lotions and creams are being pushed on us, promising [...]

FAT LADY MARILYN WANN SETTING DANGEROUS EXAMPLE FOR KIDS IN HER NEW BOOK, FAT? SO!

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
Marilyn Wann, by her own admission is fat. After reading about her new book, FAT? SO! , I believe her to not only be fat, but short sighted, naïve and somewhat ignorant.
After over 20 years of working with overweight people struggling to regain their wellness, it is clear to [...]

WALL STREET FIRMS GET PREFERENTIAL SHIPMENT OF SWINE FLU VACCINE

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
Though one would need to put a gun to my head to get me to take the swine flu vaccine, I’m still annoyed that the big players on Wall Street (the ones who had to beg for money to survive) were given advance shipments of the vaccine.
Goldman Sachs, [...]

PROACTIVE WELLNESS v REACTIVE MEDICINE

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
 This would make a debate for the ages. Is wellness the same as medicine? Are their goals the same? I don’t believe they are and in fact, I believe them to be polar opposites.
Wellness is a proactive approach to wellbeing. It is a lifestyle that relies on traditional, [...]

ANOTHER SUPPLEMENT SCAMMER IS BUSTED

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
 Remember Chitosan and Lipoban? I do. All the ads showing sexy women with their long lean legs. Turns out Chitosan was all a scam and consumers lost at least $16 million dollars.
 Here’s the link from the Department of Justice announcing the conviction in Federal Court.

HOW BIG BUSINESS WANTS TO SEE YOU RAISE YOUR CHILD

Ray Salomone, Personal Trainer and Wellness Activist
The soaring rates of childhood obesity, asthma, allergies and cancer is no accident. It has been a calculated and concerted effort by Big Food, Big Pharma and Big Medicine to make your child fat, sedentary and sick. It is by far the greatest injustice of our time.
Defenseless children are [...]

BABY EINSTEIN AIN’T TOO BRIGHT

Before I became a parent, I paid NO attention to parenting. Now that I am a father, it has become a consuming pursuit. Being a non-conformist in every sense of the word, I look for ideas that go against the mainstream. That’s why I was thrilled to read that these Baby Einstein videos have been [...]
