If you have an epidural, you might not shit for days. Drink some prune juice to get things moving.

“He stresses that his family members were legal immigrants.”

“He’s vice president of Truehope Nutritional Support Inc., a supplements company.”

“Court heard the couple on tape explaining to the police officer that they prefer naturopathic remedies because of their family’s negative experiences with the medical system.”

What I don’t get about naturopaths is that they always claim that “back in the old days” people healed themselves with these natural remedies. Well, no. They didn’t. They usually died. They might not die of a little trifling cold or fever (although some did!) but they died in large numbers of diseases that today have…

Apparently the ambulance couldn’t intubate the baby because it didn’t have the right equipment, due to budget cuts, and one medical examiner said that that was the cause of death.

I often wonder what people who don’t know me would conclude about my marriage if every little thing my wife and I did was printed in tabloids and online. “Dave J. and Mrs. Dave J. seemed REALLY ANNOYED with each other while eating pizza with their kids!” “Dave J. and Mrs. Dave J. left their house AND GOT INTO SEPARATE…

I can’t imagine if every time my wife and I argued about something, it was going to end up all over the internet under a “DIVORCE COMING ANY DAY?” headline.
