Dr. Mehmet Oz discussed food addiction and radical cancer remission on the March 18 episode of the Dr. Oz Show ("Are You a Food Addict? Take the Test to Find Out!").
Dr. Oz said many people suffer from emotional overeating and unwanted weight gain, but you can break the cycle with a few simple steps.
Dr. Oz's guest was clinical psychologist and food-addiction expert Dr. Ramani Durvasula, author of You Are WHY You Eat: Change Your Food Attitude, Change Your Life.
Dr. Ramani (who's gorgeous and skinny) is a recovering food addict who said there's a big difference between a food addict and someone who simply overeats. Dr. Durvasula said food addicts are like cocaine addicts who use food for the dopamine "high" they get after eating.
Dr. Ramani said you're a food addict if you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions on her food addict test:
- Do you eat when you're stressed?
- Do you obsess over food for more than an hour a day?
- Has your food addiction affected your social life (i.e., you avoid time with family or friends in order to eat)?
- Do you eat to the point of getting sick?
- Do you have withdrawal symptoms when you don't eat your favorite foods?
Dr. Durvasula said you can break food addiction with these simple steps:
1. HALT. Whenever you find yourself thinking about food, visualize the word HALT (an acronym for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, and Tired). If you're turning to food for any of these emotional reasons, give yourself a 10-minute time-out before acting on your impulse to eat.
2. Avoid trigger foods. Don't keep trigger foods around the house. Just as you wouldn't keep alcohol around the house if you were a recovering alcoholic, you shouldn't keep tempting trigger foods around.
3. Limit junk and fast food. Make a commitment to avoid eating food out of a bag or box for two weeks. This will be tough at first, but it could help you reset your eating habits.
Dr. Oz said irvingia is a natural appetite suppressant that eases food cravings and accelerates weight loss. Two studies showed that irvingia users lost an average of 5 to 10 pounds a month without making any changes to their diet. The irvingia users also dramatically improved their blood sugar and cholesterol compared to the control group.
Radical Cancer Remission
On a separate segment of his show, Dr. Oz discussed the phenomenon of radical cancer remission, which is when a patient's cancer spontaneously disappears after surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy have failed to eradicate it.
Dr. Oz's guest was oncologist Dr. Kelly Turner, who has personally witnessed radical cancer remission among numerous patients. Dr. Turner, author of Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds, said the common link among patients who experience radical remission is a deep commitment to positive thinking and gratitude.
Dr. Turner said just spending 5 minutes a day feeling grateful can release healing hormones throughout your body that boosts your immune system. Dr. Oz's guest was a 50-year-old woman (pictured above) who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35. She underwent several surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy and was given just 5 years to live.
The woman embarked on a spiritual journey and focused all her emotional energy on healing her cancer. After 18 months of her positive-thinking/gratitude therapy, her cancer spontaneously disappeared. She has been in remission for 13 years.

Quintessential. Archetypal. Epitome. These are all words that come to mind when trying to describe the dining experience at Laurent, a classic French Chateau situated in the gardens of the Champs-Elysees. Laurent represents the essence of what overrated San Francisco restaurants like Fleur-de-Lys are trying (too hard) to achieve.
My first impression when I walked into the restaurant was that I was very, very, under-dressed. This is the type of place that is so romantic you would feel the most comfortable dining in an 18th century vintage evening gown or top hat and tails. Never fear, however, if you happen to show up without a jacket, as I did -- the staff won't bat an eye and your dinner will be no less spectacular -- but if you happen to remember, dressing up isn't a bad idea, especially because the dining room is set up so that most tables allow you to face out into the dining room and observe the fashions, as well as the looks of gastronomic ecstasy on the faces of your fellow diners during your three hour meal.
Let's get the wine list out of the way right off the bat, shall we? Nearly an inch and a half thick, it read like an encyclopedia. We're talking chapters dedicated to regions and varietals, and pages dedicated to individual years within those regions, each page listing scores of wines. I had my choice between nearly forty Medoc wines from 1999, ranging in price from 50 Euros to nearly 700. A quick skim through (which took nearly 10 minutes) revealed several bottles over $4000. I have never seen a wine list of this caliber before. I opted to simply give a price range and region to the wine steward and let her take care of me.
This is the type of place that I could advise you to place yourself in the hands of everyone " the waiter, the staff, and most of all the chef Philippe Braun and his capable advisor Joel Robuchon. Follow your stomach, ignore your pocketbook, and believe that you'll have no regrets. My only regret is that I let Ruth drag me out of there " I wanted to simply stay and eat and eat and eat.
Our evening began with smoked salmon hors d'oeurves, small filets of fish draped over crispy slices of baguette, each drizzled in a precise crosshatch pattern of parsley and mustard sauce. Seeing a seared foie gras on the menu, Ruth didn't need to think too much about her appetizer, and it did not disappoint, lovingly nestled against a grilled pistachio crusted mango atop a thin glaze of balsamic reduction. The foie was sprinkled on top with large crystals of fresh sea salt and roughly crushed black pepper, which made the delicate flavor of the meat explode in the mouth. I couldn't believe that in all the times we had ever ordered a similar dish, no chef had ever made this simple addition. Normally, I would have a hard time keeping my hands off a dish like that, however, I was swimming with my langoustines or "little lobsters" -- also known as Dublin Bay prawns. They were lightly dipped, or perhaps wrapped, in some sort of dough or batter and fried before being drizzled in a pesto sauce and hidden in a forest of frisee. The dishes were artfully arranged beautiful without being theatrical -- understated, and focused on flavor without losing the opportunity to engage the visual senses as well.
And that was just the appetizer. Time slowed down as we progressed through entrees of delicately salted and grilled baby rack of lamb over purple artichokes and carrots, and a filet mignon béarnaise sauce and some potatoes that the chef must have sold his soul to prepare. The waiter said he had tried many times to figure out how to make these small golden fried potatoes, which are not actually potatoes, but potato balloons, one millimeter thick, seamless, and totally hollow inside, collapsing under the slightest touch of the fork and dissolving in the mouth.
The cheese course was stellar, and to pass the time while our desserts were prepared, we got to snack on pastries which would certainly be illegal in certain states if they let them in the country, and which single-handedly must keep the French butter market afloat.
Dessert was everything you would expect given what preceded it. Ruth got fresh lychees on a sugar wafer sprinkled with lime zest paired with lychee sorbet over a anise seed cookie. I opted for a dessert inconspicuously titled, Chocolate 5 Ways, which turned out to be dark chocolate sorbet, dark chocolate mousse cake, a mini chocolate tart, a chocolate pistachio gateau, and bittersweet chocolate fondant.
The service matches the quality of the food, expertly delivered from start to finish, quiet and unobtrusive (at least as much as they could be in white coats and bowties) amidst the lightly mauve and marble décor. Most of the staff speaks English very well, so if, like me, your seventh grade French doesn't come too easily you'll be well taken care of.
Laurent offers a set five course daily tasting menu for $240 per person or you may order a la carte, which will run you $200 to $350 per person depending on what you order. At the time of writing the exchange rate was 1 Euro = $1.25. During the summer months, they open up the back of the restaurant and allow dining on their patio out back, which apparently is quite an experience on a sunny day. They are also open for lunch. Reservations at any time strongly recommended.

Fight Toe Nail Fungus Using Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinegar – UPDATED
Posted in Alternative Healthcare, Hydrogen Peroxide on 23.10.14
IDTK (I didn't know that) …. Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar could actually rid a toe nail of fungus. I was not convinced but I was certainly willing to give it a try. I figure I had everything to gain and nothing to lose so it was worth a shot.
My quest started when I read an article written by Judy Stouffer, B.S., M.S., SFO and Michael Stouffer, B.S., SFO. Actually Judy and Michael documented the procedure in an effort to combat their own outbreak of toe nail fungus. They did it with great success. I figured if it worked for them, it could work for me and then I would share the knowledge with my following.
The recipe for success involves the use of 5% vinegar and 2% hydrogen peroxide. You'll need to dilute 3% hydrogen peroxide to a 2% solution by adding distilled water. This will make the solution slightly less caustic on the exposed skin. On day one, soak your toes in the vinegar solution for approximately 5 minute. On day two, do the same thing but use the hydrogen peroxide solution instead. Alternate days and continue this practice for three (3) weeks. Keep alternating back and forth; one day vinegar and the next hydrogen peroxide. WARNING: never mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar together, as that forms peracetic acid, a caustic chemical with entirely different properties.
What the Stouffer's found after three weeks, was that there was new healthy nail growth beginning to show up at the base of the toe nail. After approximately seven months, healthy nail continued to grow from the base of the nail. Remember they only did the soak for three weeks. It seems as though the healing continued long after the treatment ended. Approximately 15 months later, the entire toenail and nail bed were healthy and free of any signs of fungal infection. More than 4 years later, the toe nail remains free of any signs of fungus.
My outcome was a bit different. I found that there was substantial improvement after three weeks which prompted me to want to continue, but in a different way. I took two small spray bottles and labeled one vinegar and the other peroxide. At night before I went to bed, I would spray my nails in the same fashion, one night spraying with the same vinegar solution I used for the soak and the next night spraying with the same peroxide solution. Soaking my toes every night was just too daunting a task beyond the three week window so this has proven to be an excellent alternative. I also increased the strength of the peroxide to 3%. I had no adverse reaction to doing this. The peroxide didn't bother my skin at all.
My fungus has been with me for more than 40 years so it is taking longer but the improvement is undeniably remarkable. I use a file to take the top layer of nail from my nail bed; just a light dusting with a nail file does the trick and seems to help the condition of the nail overall. If you are wondering what type of file, it is an electric device similar to what they use in nail salons. The fine tip file allows me to get to the entire nail.
I feel like I've stumbled on the long lost solution to a common problem and I'm thrilled. I still continue to spray to this day. I just look at it as part of my daily grooming regimen.

Don't miss out on your chance to ask Coach Murphy a question - you may win a free Sun Devil baseball cap!
This Week's Winner of the ASU Baseball Cap: Jerry Keyack
Ken Huffine (Phoenix, AZ)
I am a big fan of ASU baseball and a season ticket holder. I noticed the Devils were picked for sixth in the conference. After the big numbers put up by the team last year (especially by Beinbrink and Bloomquist), I was concerned about the lack of offense this year with the young team, inexperience, etc. But after six games, this team appears to handle the bat as well as any team I have seen this early in the season. How do you feel about the potential of these players and what is a realistic goal of accomplishment for this year?
Coach Murphy: I appreciate your comments. We are not concerned about the preseason conference rankings picked by the coaches. A lot of times they are politically motivated or personality driven. I'd venture to say whoever the coaches pick usually doesn't succeed (remember in '98 - we finished third and USC finished second in the conference - we were the teams in the CWS championship game.)
Realistically, we are a scrappy, inexperienced team. Our offensive approach, to date, has been inconsistent. But as the season progresses, we should improve. Keep supporting us. With a couple of good fortunes, this team could go along way. As always, our goal is the national championship. Go Sun Devils!
Jerry Keyack (Tucson, AZ)
First of all, let me say what a great job you are doing for the ASU baseball program. Much success this year! My question is this: with all of new and younger talent on this year's squad, what will be the key to making this a productive year? So far, I am amazed by the number runs we are scoring and the fighting spirit in this year's squad. Please comment on this. All the best for ASU Baseball 2000
Coach Murphy: Resiliency will be the key for this year's squad. We have a tough schedule and young players can get down on themselves when they experience some losses. Believe it or not, fan support is key. When you believe, the players know it. We appreciate your support. And the fighting spirit? I sense the same thing. These guys love to compete and it shows on the field.
Matt Rachke (Chandler, AZ)
Brooks Conrad steals home against BYU in last Saturday's game...Great Call! Will you keep up that type of agressive base running??
Coach Murphy: Aggressive base running will always be a trademark of this team. But there are two sides to the coin. There will be days that our aggressive base running backfires or runs us out of an inning. Days our aggression might look boneheaded. But keep the faith. There will be days when it wins a game as well. Thanks for writing.
Kim Howard (Stansbury Park, UT)
I've watched catcher Trent Pratt's career through Little League, high school and now college and I know you have 2 or 3 great catchers on the team this year. I was just wondering if you're rotating their starts until you pick a permanant starter or will you continue to rotate them throughout the year? Thanks, Kim
Coach Murphy: Every great program has to have depth at catcher. Casey Myers ability to call a game is a special talent - especially this early in the season. Trent Pratt is considered a starter and has a great career in front of him. He needs to stay positive - he plays an important role on this ball club. Ty Johnson is our backup and is also key to the success of our team.
Dave Kacynski (Phoenix, AZ)
My question has several parts and really revolves around compiling a first rate college baseball program. What do you look for in recruiting high school players? i.e. player profile or characteristics you consider important in ascertaining compatibility with your program. Under what circumstances do you select junior college talent? Given your ability to recruit on a national basis, and with all the young talent out there, other than the limited opportunity for you and your assistants to view talent in-person what do you rely on to assist you?
Coach Murphy: First and foremost, we look for baseball players - players who know the game and know how to make adjustments when warranted. We look for a competitive nature and an athlete. We also look for the kid who is a great person not only on the field, but off it.
J.C. talent is important to the program. We look for players who will adjust to the team concept quickly and bring something to the table. We have found that junior college transfers usually don't reach their full potential until their second year with our program.
Nationally, we have a network of people that we believe in and trust. We talk to a lot of high school coaches as well. They know their players and their abilities - we listen. We also talk with scouts and rely on their knowledge. Almost every day of the summer we are out seeing players ourselves as well.
Thanks for all of your questions. Keep supporting the program and our players. We appreciate it!

Anaheim: City-Like Place
You may be tempted to take your family to Anaheim, CA for a nice vacation at Disneyland. That's exactly what they want you to do, the sinister fiends.
You see, the entire Disney Corporation–Disneyland, the DIsney Channel, all those Disney movies–are simply a clever ruse by the real rulers of Anaheim: the Mighty Ducks. Not the hockey team, but actual mighty ducks.
These ducks are over fifty feet tall. They weigh over three tons each, and they need a constant supply of human flesh to keep them fed. The mighty ducks of Anaheim lure hundreds of thousands of tourists to Disneyland every year and then eat them, usually during Space Mountain but sometimes during It's A Small World or the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The bloodshed is horrible, as is the triumphant quacking of a fifty-foot tall duck who has just devoured an entire family of eight from Fresno.
So take our advice: avoid Anaheim at all costs. Take your family somewhere safer: San DIego is nice, and its ducks are only fourteen feet tall. You and your family, armed with pointed sticks, could probably take one out. And think of the wonderful vacation photos, your family standing on the beach, covered in goo from the hideous monster duck they just killed. Ah, memories.
LIST: 11 Other Names For The Polar Vortex

LIST: 9 Highlights of 2014 (SPOILER ALERTS)
Yes, we know 2014 just began. We remember it like it was yesterday.
BUT: We've looked ahead at 2014 already. And using all the high-tech means available to us (i.e., guessing), we can boldly predict with great certainty that these nine items will be the highlights of 2014:
- January 31: Taco Bell introduces new Nacho Cheese Doritos Coke.
- February 10: Russia cancels the Sochi WInter Olympics when they realize how gay the mens figure skating is.
- March 16: President Obama introduces a new, affordable Hair Club For Men for low-income Americans, ObamaHair.
- April 9: Space aliens make contact with the human race, asking that that one guy in that fancy-ass Land Rover "turn down that Skrillex crap. It's keeping our entire planet awake."

7 Old-Timey Photos Of New Years Celebrations
New Years Eve wasn't always about Ryan Seacrest, you know. There was a time when New Years meant something–it meant that you were going to have to stare at Dick Clark for several hours, wondering how the hell he managed to look 14 until he was like, 90. Clearly, souls were sold.
Anyway, try if you can to imagine a New Years celebration before Dick Clark existed. If that's too difficult, look at these seven old-timey photos of old-timey New Years, and feel sad that we're stuck in the dystopic future with Ryan Seacrest. As always: hover your mouse over the photos for bonus facts:

I'd love to be there licking these two luscious uncut cocks at the same time while I jack on my own uncut cock. I'd get them really lubed up first, then allow each of the dudes to fuck my forskin whlie I lay on my side and they get me from front to back. Taking one in my ass and the other in my forskin. It can be fucked hard like a tight cunt even when my dick is bone hard. Wanna see, cum on over and check it out sometime. I prefer Muscular, Smooth (shaved bods o.k.) and dudes hung at least 7" or more Uncut. Though I do enjoy a nice cut dick now and then, too. If you're a horny perverted tough talking dad type, between the ages of 28-60, clean inside and out and love to fuck a boy, let's do it! I can host. Pete

As you noticed, I've been too busy to blog here at This Mama Cooks! lately. The reason? I went to San Diego for a blogger event. I have a theory that if you spend X days away from home you spend twice that time packing, unpacking, and making up for all the work you missed. I did work while on the road - from the hotel, the library, Starbucks, and at the airport - but not as much as I usually do. That's because I spent most of my time eating.
Here's the slide show:
One evening my group had a meal at Azul, down the street from La Valencia. I had the Maine Lobster and Artichoke Risotto, some wonderful appetizers, lots of wine, and a white chocolate cheesecake. No wonder I passed out in my hotel room before 10 p.m.
Then the real eating began! I went to stay with my mom and her husband, Joe, over the weekend. Mom mom loves seafood, sushi and vegetables. Joe is a steak, potatoes and dessert kind of guy. They're so different in their dining preferences that they almost never cook at home. (My mom is a fabulous cook, but Joe complains she uses too much seasoning.)
To prevent culinary calamity, they go out to buffets. Between the casinos like the Barona Valley Ranch, and the local Asian restaurants, there's lots of buffet dining going on in San Diego. In fact, I was so busy "buffet-ing" that I never had time to go to In 'N' Out Burgers or Roberto's. I was too full to care.
So now I'm back home, feeling HUGE, and trying to get back to my good eating habits. However, when your body gets used to having chocolate, wine, and rich seafood dishes every night, you go through withdrawal. So it's been tough. Yet, I'm determined to get back to losing weight, working out, and fitting back in my clothes that feel a little smug these days.
After all, I have a goal. In July, I'm speaking at BlogHer. It's a little embarrassing showing up looking chunky when you have a diet blog. If that doesn't motivate me, I don't know what will.

The whole kitchen is stunning! I love the mixture as well of the whites, blues, dark woods and stainless. The tile is fabulous!. We are almost nearing the end of our kitchen remodel but still need to choose backsplash. Hmm...this turquoise tile might just be the one.

Oh my word! I am having a serious case of envy! I love that kitchen! I love all of it - the color, the tile, the arch, the appliances, the dual islands, the floor, the cabinets... ALL of it. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen as it is, but if I had that one I am afraid I might never leave it!
You always find the most beautiful photos!

I am building a new house, and this is what I want!!! Finally a pic that I can show the builder. Unfortunately I have already bought a slab of granite for the island that is gray and cobalt blue. The rest of the counters are white quartz. I have to figure out how to make the turquoise and cobalt work, cause turquoise is all I ever really wanted!

"If you don't fit into a category then they can't control you."– Maggie Q as Tori
What's good: Great concept with really fun stunts and special effects.
What's not good: Weak villain, slow moving story, and not enough action.
What happened: One of our biggest fears in life is losing our freedom. Free will is a precious gift that must be protected at all costs. Unfortunately, some believe that your independence must be controlled for the greater good. While 'Divergent' is a decent film that offers an interesting commentary on this issue, it just wasn't as entertaining as it should have been.
Everyone in Beatrice's (Shailene Woodley) world has their entire lives planned out for them. She was raised to become a public servant, but wanted to be so much more. Beatrice's one uncommon trait is that she isn't ruled by fear. The time has come where she must take the test to determine what the rest of her life will be. Unfortunately, what happens next puts her life in serious danger. Now she must let go of her old life and take on a new name (Tris) and a new home.
Four (Theo James) is very secretive about his past. He watches over Tris and is beginning to suspect just how special she is. Meanwhile, Jeanine's (Kate Winslet) intentions may seem innocent, but her plan for peace will ultimately lead to death, destruction, and bloodshed. Tris must survive the trials of her new home and stop Jeanine before she completes her sadistic plan of total domination.
There are obvious comparisons between 'Divergent' and 'The Hunger Games' and with good reason. Both feature a dystopian future society that uses fear to control its people. 'The Hunger Games' is much more entertaining and intense though. The best moments in 'Divergent' are its stunts and special effects. It is pretty fun to watch Tris and the others jump aboard a moving train and fight each other in combat. Her fight scenes are brutal to watch too. What's also good is seeing her navigate around the various psychological tests they put her through. The only real action in this film is saved until the last twenty minutes and it is exciting. Shailene Woodley and Theo James deliver adequate performances throughout. Their relationship grows at a believable pace so you will root for them to be together. Also, pay very close attention to the narration at the beginning as a lot of important information is provided.
This highly anticipated bestselling novel turned film really leaves a lot to be desired. First of all, too much time is spent on Tris' fight to make her new faction. Her training takes up over two-thirds of the film. The brewing battle between the factions is far more interesting and should have been a focal point of the movie. This made 'Divergent' feel incredibly slow and boring. Also, the supposed villain Jeanine isn't bad enough. She needed to be much more menacing so we would see just how evil she truly was. Instead, this character comes across as very weak. Finally, this movie lacks any real intensity or suspense. You never get the sense that Tris is in any actual danger until the very end. 'Divergent' would have been better served showing Tris and Four trying to uncover the mystery behind her abilities and Jeanine's plan for destruction.
Bottom Line: 'Divergent' provides lots of action and special effects, but not much substance. You should wait until it becomes a rental unless you are a huge fan of the novel.
