Dear Dr. Remedy,

As you know, summer is right around the corner. Do you have any suggestions of how to shed a few pounds before summer gets here?

I do have a few remedies that I would like to share, but I would first like to say that shedding pounds is more than the foods you eat. It is a lifestyle of discipline. It is a choice. There have been many studies done that show how your emotional being is directly related to your physical manifestation. So, there has to be a paradigm shift and you have to realize that a healthy lifestyle is what brings wellness in the mind, body, and spirit.

On the 4th of April of 1968, a nation was changed. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a luminary, was assassinated. The earth groaned and cries of anger, disappointment, and grief were heard around the world. We mourned the loss of a father, friend, and spiritual leader. We now celebrate with a heart of gratefulness that he would sacrifice his life to change a nation. He was a magnificent man that walked to a beat that was different from many around him. There are many lessons that we can learn from the life of Dr. King. I once heard a speaker describe him as a person that experienced true freedom because he did not fear death or man.
