This is an article that was written from the depths of my heart and my pain.  It is not a "nice" article.  I use some pretty harsh words (including the "f" word) and language to make my point.  It has a goal, however, which is to try to help women see into men's hearts and the pain and hurt men usually bury and hide from women.  Because men have been trained from childhood to "take it," to hide their pain, to tough it out, to try to be strong, it is difficult for men to share what is deep in their hearts.  I have been in men's healing groups however, and I know that men have deep feelings.  They just have a harder time expressing them, a harder time opening up.

I hope that this article will help soften women's hearts towards men.  I'm not suggesting that women put up with abuse, neither sex should not tolerate abuse, but I am suggesting that women realize that they are half the problem in relationships.  It's not all "men's fault."  I hear all the time from women how men abuse them, use them, etc. and yet, I watch these same women be attracted to abusive men who are users and label them "real men."  I also know many kind-hearted, devoted guys who have been emotionally abused, used and "beaten up" by women.  Many women don't realize how abusive they really are because they do not understand a man's vulnerability.
 
This article may offend you.  I'm sorry if it offends you, but it is written from the depths of my own heart as a man, a man who has tried to be honest, caring and loving his whole life.  I am a man who paid his child support in divorces, a man who really loved his children, a man who really cared for and sacrificed for his family, a man who gave his heart freely and lovingly in relationships and a man who feels unwanted and unappreciated in this modern world.

This article is a call for us to soften our hearts to each other, to be less materialistic and less self-centered.  This world is falling apart because people's hearts are becoming cold, hard and selfish.  We are being programmed to be that way by media and messages in society.  We're told to "have it our way."  This is not love, it is self-centeredness and it is destroying the fabric of our society.  It is tearing marriages apart and destroying families.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Without question, it is linked to our poor diet, exposure to environmental toxins, and sedentary lifestyles.  However, the heart is also a seat of emotion, and our inability to deal with our emotional heart in a healthy way is also a major contributing factor to heart disease.  Fortunately, our green friends, the herbs, can help both the physical and emotional aspects of heart problems.

Having encountered some pretty serious heart problems in people very close to me, I've searched for years to learn more about cardiac herbs.  This article lists what I've learned thus far about herbs that can help heal heart problems, including very serious problems like tachycardia, arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure.  I have been unable to locate a source for some of these remedies, but I have been able to source and use others.  This is an advanced article that includes information about some toxic botanicals that have to be used in a very professional manner.  I hope you find it useful.

A parody on American Pie by Don McLean about drug companies and herbs.  This is not a finished work. I was searching for a file on my computer and found this piece, which was actually started in August of 2002.  I liked it, so I added a little more to it and I'm posting it here just for fun.  Perhaps someday I'll finish the whole piece  (it needs two more verses to match the original).
