A few months ago, my wife was up late one night and viewed an info spot hosted by Montel Williams. He was advertising a unit called the Health Master Elite. Apparently you can do about anything with this unit and it was advertised as a healthy way to make delicious fresh juices, liquor drinks and smoothies. The unit was not cheap, I am thinking $199.00 or so but, once a woman makes up her mind that something is a value, you are about to buy it!

My first reaction was one of surprise as the thought of spending $199 to make juice seemed a bit high to me. Oh well, we have the unit now and have been making some very interesting juices and smoothies. I would have to say our most favorite and most often made drink is a vegetable smoothie. The drink is made by putting about a cup and a half of leaf spinach, a half of a quart carton of strawberries, one and a half medium bananas, two small packages of Stevia sweetener and a cup of crushed ice.

The drink is really good and is very filling in addition to providing most of a days requirements for fruit and vegetables. A few weeks ago, my wife learned about an Astec diet plan that used the same ingredients but, added to it chia seeds. You know, those things you get wet and spread on the Ghia Pets. A few days later you have a green hairy pet. Well my first concern was growing green grass internally but, the juice diet plan made me aware that could not happen.

I have been struggling with skin tags for a very long time and have been finding some great ways to get rid of them without seeing a doctor. It’s not an uncommon question, trust me. They can be very irritating and are also obviously very unattractive. They can appear on the face, armpits, neck and other skin folds very easily.

It really is a minor procedure to have them removed at the doctors but the trouble is that most insurers do not cover them as they look at them as cosmetic. I can understand that because they do not do any harm. They are just unsightly.

Try so different remedies. You’ll find lot’s of them over the counter. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Just do not try anything stupid that may scar you like cutting them off with scissors or freezing them with dry ice. You can do damage to skin and nerves.
