Modern Day Plagues

Egypt suffered from 10 plagues according to the Bible. Frogs, flies and locusts, OH MY!

Although a plague of spiders would probably be my undoing, and to tell you the truth leprosy would not make me the most popular girl on the block, we really have a lot of disease and suffering that never seemed to be a problem for those who lived back then.

For example, how often do history books write about people back then suffering from depression, or obesity, or diabetes, or cancer, or STDs, or AIDS, or drug abuse? Maybe they did not know what their diagnosis was or how to cure their condition, but they certainly did not have antidepressants or antibiotics. Did you know that according to a government study antidepressants are the most-prescribed drugs in the United States, as reported by CNN July, 2007?

Maybe no one lived long enough back then to worry too much about disease. Perhaps people were too busy trying to find their next meal to be depressed, or to overeat, for that matter. Life was too hard, and maybe that is our problem. Maybe life is actually too easy for some of us. (It is called fast food because it is fast and easy)

This section deals with topics that may cause stress in our lives: daily stressors that some of us suffer with each day. Sometimes we may feel sorry for ourselves, not even realizing that our life may actually be easier compared with someone else's life. So I ask you - are you able to relate to any one of the following stories from the lives of real people having real problems?

And by the way, stress is a major contributor of disease, so my advice to you is to put some stress-neutralizing TBlast in your life. It's important to do something for yourself that will give you that very much needed extra edge in your life against the plagues of our modern world.

TBlast wasn't available for those living back then, but it's here now, so I say take advantage of it!
