The perfect gift for anyone who has been successfully brainwashed by conventional medical wisdom into fearing the sun, Richard Hobday's "The Healing Sun" will help you see the light about the true value of proper sun exposure. An essential tool for safely bringing the benefits of the sun into your life, this book emphasizes how the sun was used to prevent and cure diseases in the past, and how it can heal us in the future by lowering your cholesterol, treating MS and Osteoporosis, preventing cancer and so much more!

And, because I feel this so strongly about "The Healing Sun," I am offering you a special opportunity to get this book -- together with two other books that I believe will have a profound effect on your health at a substantial discount off their regular price! Paul Chek's "How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy" and my "Total Health Book" work synergistically side by side, giving you a tailor-made exercise regime suited to your body's needs, plus the means to truly optimize your weight, energy and health by eating properly for your specific nutritional type.

Still looking for the perfect gift for that special person on your list that is so hard to please? The Omega 8003 is a single gear, masticating juice extractor that will serve even the most demanding juicing needs. This unit is a "multiple-use" appliance that performs very well. Most appliances that are built for more than one use tend to compromise one task or another. But the versatile Omega Model 8003 Nutrition Center has over five completely different functions, excelling as a Vegetable Juice Extractor, Fruit Juicer, Seasoning Mincer/Chopper, Meat/Fish Mincer and Food Mill.

Some juicers boast price tags ranging from anywhere from $800 - $2,000. The Omega juicer is much less at only $259 -- and from a consumer standpoint this juicer can't be beat! Over the years I have done extensive evaluations of vegetable juicers and came to the conclusion that nothing comes close to the value of this juicer.

Juicing is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. Show someone how much you care this holiday season and give them the gift of renewed energy and vitality with the Omega 8003! More information ...

Here's a great gift for just about anybody -- whether already reasonably healthy, trying to overcome health challenges, an athlete, a couch potato, or even a medical practitioner -- I strongly recommend Paul Chek's book, "How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy."

This book shows you that the "one size fits all" attitude doesn't work when it comes to eating right and losing weight. Laid out in a "do it yourself" style, the book walks readers through step-by-step instructions needed to customize a diet and exercise program that is personalized to individual needs. One of the world's most respected exercise authors, Chek provides plenty of supporting illustrations. Both highly practical and motivational, this book is filled with quotes that will encourage and motivate. Readers will be inspired by the many success stories from some of Chek's personal friends and former clients.

Like me, Paul Chek recognizes the central importance of diet and nutritional typing. This is an excellent companion to my "Total Health Book" as it provides the other component to optimal health, and the area that Paul Chek is widely renowned for -- proper exercise.

Take advantage of the Holiday Combo Special and order "How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy" and "Dr Mercola's Total Health Book" for 25% of their regular price today. And, as an added bonus, we'll e-mail you Paul Chek's fully-illustrated, full-color e-report detailing how to avoid aches and injury in all key office work situations for FREE -- just for ordering either the Combo Special or just the Paul Chek book!

Six Freebies To Give This Holiday Season

Is it possible to have a nice, loving holiday with family and friends, a tree, some tinsel, a couple of presents and not spend a fortune? I very much think so.

Readers of my Web site run the gamut in the range of finances. Some are in debt over their heads, overstressed and guilt-ridden they can't make Christmas some perfect "Martha Stewart moment." And, there are those who need or want for nothing. Their pleasures are as modest as their expectations.

As a personal gift from me to you, I'd like to give you a treasure chest filled with a half-dozen freebies I urge you to share with the loved ones in your life. Remember, the collective worth of these free gifts to you and your loved ones may be more than the proverbial weight of gold!

Probably the most important and valuable gift you can give someone this season is the gift of love. You can write each member of your family or friends a "love note," letting them know how much you care and appreciate them. You can also give a hug to those you love and let them know that you consider them to be a gift from God.

More than 100,000 people developed heart attacks or strokes from taking Vioxx and over 50,000 people died from it. Mercola.com was the first site on the Internet to warn people about this toxic drug. Back in 1999 -- a year before Vioxx came on the market -- we warned you about the dangers.

Because there are five other similar dangerous drugs currently on the market, a free subscription to Mercola.com can literally save the lives of those you love. If you don't agree, take a look at the countless number of testimonials telling us Mercola.com is their single most important health resource on the World Wide Web!

I bet you don't know anyone who doesn't use Google to search the Web. But what about searching your hard drive? Google's free Desktop Search tool can perform the task quickly and efficiently. In fact, there simply isn't any reason I can think of that anyone reading this should not immediately install this amazing piece of software on his or her computer.

When first downloaded, Google's Desktop Search software "indexes" compatible files, e-mail and any Web pages you previously viewed in Internet Explorer. Later, when Google spits out search results, you can view these Web pages again, even if you are offline or the page is no longer available.

For more details about this amazing piece of software, I invite you to read my review. Google Desktop Search is one of the most important pieces of software that I have, as it has saved me hours of time and always performs like a champ.

Prior to the Google Desktop Search tool, Lookout was the search tool of choice. In some ways, Lookout was better than Google Desktop and also free. But Microsoft purchased Lookout last summer and took it off the market.

But Microsoft so misjudged the rabid following of Lookout -- and fielded so many complaints -- the software giant allowed Lookout to distribute the program for free. The newest update is now available for download from their site.

If you're reading this Web page, the chances are good you're still using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) as your default browser. That is, unless you've been gun-shy about exploring the Net because you're afraid of viruses that can infect your computer when you visit a site or receive a cookie, often without knowing it. That's why Firefox has become Microsoft's worst nightmare come true!

Because I believe IE is seriously broken and full of bugs that can ultimately destroy your computer's hard drive, I urge you to get smart and download the free software that nearly 10 million people have done since version 1.0 was released Nov. 9, and share it with your friends and family.

Without a doubt, Gmail is clearly the best free e-mail service available. Unfortunately, Gmail is still in beta testing and is only available to users by invitation. But, as a free gift to your loved ones, I invite you to share this link I found with them so they can join the party.

Fair warning: Make your family and friends aware they need to be patient and continue to visit the site often as it will frequently run out of invitations. However, as people continue to donate them, your loved ones will eventually get one, but only if they are persistent.

The beauty of Google's free, Web-based Gmail service is the amount of storage you get -- a humongous 1,000 megabytes (or 1 GB), about 500 times the capacity of Microsoft's rival Hotmail e-mail service when Gmail first arrived. (That may be the reason MSN's Hotmail, Netscape and Yahoo recently beefed up their storage capacities to 100 megabytes and more). That means you'll never have to discard any old mail. Also, messages are grouped with all their replies, making them easier to find.

Three Healthy & Delicious Foods that are Perfect for Your Holiday Meals

The Holiday season is the time of year when sticking to a healthy diet can be most challenging. The change of season alone can cause some people to overeat, especially those in cold climates, and combined with the stress of the holidays and an abundance of seasonal foods, the temptation can become overwhelming for some. Incorporating some of these foods into your celebrations will help you to avoid overdoing it, even in the midst of Christmas cookies and candies, and ensure that you enjoy all that the holiday season has to offer while at the same time boosting your health -- not your waistline.

Planning on Ham, Turkey or Beef for your holiday feast? You might want to reconsider. Pigs are scavenger animals and are frequently contaminated with parasites that aren't removed through the cooking process. And, the vast majority of beef and poultry is filled with harmful additives and is raised in such a way that it at best provides little more for your body than something to fill your stomach, and at worst is contributing to the degeneration of your health.

Why not try something much healthier and better tasting this year? Bison is now being recognized as one of the best tasting of all meats and has rapidly been appearing on the menus of fine restaurants throughout the world. High in iron, lower in cholesterol, calories and fat than even turkey and chicken, Bison is more delicious than any of these. With flavor comparable to prime beef, only sweeter and more tender -- no special handling is required to prepare bison. In fact, Bison is an ideal protein source, which is why I offer the world's premier source to you from Blackwing Meats.

Blackwing Meats are free-ranged in the clean air and water of the Dakotas, spending most of their time on the grasslands as they have for eons. They are raised free of growth hormones, steroids and antibiotics, and are recommended by the American Heart Association.

The Glatt Kosher label from Blackwing ensures the safest and most flawless meat, and makes kosher bison ideal for all Jewish holidays and also perfect for anyone conscious about healthy eating this Holiday season. Check out the bison nutrition comparison table, and forget about the traditional turkey or ham this holiday. Serve your guests a healthy and succulent feast they'll savor! More information ...

There may be a lot of satisfaction to be gained from preparing a big holiday feast, but let's not forget about the about the mountain of pots and pans left behind and the aftermath of spoiled leftovers glutting your fridge. Why not consider starting a new holiday tradition this year -- and serve up safe, healthy and delicious easy-to-prepare wild red Alaskan salmon.

The Vital Choice brand of salmon is the ONLY fish I have discovered, via independent lab testing, to be free of harmful mercury and other toxins. Far higher in essential omega-3 with EPA and DHA than any other food, Vital Choice Salmon aids your body's ability to process fat, increases daily energy levels, greatly helps to prevent disease and much more. Plus, its health boosting benefits are excellent for pregnant women and children!

Just as important as all the above, Vital Choice salmon have the absolute most delicious flavor, as the fish are caught wild in the cold, clean North Pacific. This means they were not fed a diet of corn, any other grain, or soy pellets, but raised on their own natural diet, ensuring the best taste!

Vital Choice Wild offers red salmon portions, filets, smoked salmon, kosher sliced lox, and canned salmon. A perfect alternative for small gatherings, couples on their own, or someone who simply does not have the inclination to prepare a big holiday feast, you can't go wrong with this salmon!

Ever wonder why people living the Pacific Rim are so healthy and seem to defy the aging process with their youthful glow? It's most likely due to their consumption of coconut oil. Touted as a "miracle food" for its ability help the body burn unwanted fat, triple energy, and greatly help those with thyroid problems -- the power of coconut oil is finally the getting respect it deserves -- not only the healthiest oil you can consume, but as one of the most nutritious of all foods.

However, you should be absolutely certain of the quality and effectiveness of whatever coconut oil brand you choose. My team and I have researched coconut oil extensively until we found the ideal source -- the premier brand of virgin coconut oil in the U.S., Tropical Traditions.

If you haven't tried cooking with Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil, you are missing out on a bonanza of health benefits and taste! During the busy holiday season it's easy to get derailed from our usual healthy eating habits. Cooking with virgin coconut oil is one way to get back on track fast.

Because it's a stable cooking oil you can use this coconut oil in place of other oils, margarine, butter, shortening, etc. for all cooking needs. It great for replacing oils on salads, adding to juice and smoothes -- and its taste and smell is so pleasing that some people prefer to consume it straight by the tablespoon! Plus, it makes an excellent massage oil and skin lotion that provides unrivaled protection from the harsh winter elements! More information ...
