Merry Christmas!

Posted by on December 24, 2012 24 comments

We have much to be merry about this Christmas – our family, our readers, and the hope that our new edition will help many achieve good health in the new year – and, of course, the rose that comes amid the winter.

The marvel of Christmas is that God should come to us as a baby; and a baby bereft of resources – born in a manger, amid animals and manure.

William Adolph Bouguereau, a detail of the painting called “L’innocence.”

Perhaps the merriest news that Christmas brings is that no one is alone. Emmanuel – “God is with us” – comes.

Please, enjoy a merry and blessed Christmas!

P.S. — Our publishers, Scribner and Scribe, send holiday wishes:

Over at Psychology Today we’ve added a new post: “Violence: Are There Dietary Causes?”

Just a brief announcement – I’m working on a few blog posts, including one that will go up at Psychology Today tonight or early tomorrow – but for now just a brief note: I’ll be appearing on Dr Lo Radio with Dr Lauren Noel tonight at 9 pm Eastern / 6 pm Pacific.

The show is live and the call-in number if you’d like to ask a question is (818) 495-6919.

I’m excited – I’ve met Lauren at the Ancestral Health Symposium but this will be my first appearance on her show. It’s a great show and should be a fun conversation!
