  • A Stitch In Time Saves Nine - Prevention not Cure

    It is a sad fact that most people pay little attention to their health until it is at risk. It is only then that people truly realise that health and wellbeing is far more important than money, and that all the money in the world cannot always buy health.

    From an early age we learn that prevention is better than cure - a stitch in time saves nine. Nowhere is this more true than in caring for our health, and with our health we don't always get a second chance if something goes wrong.

    With the exception of some factors determined by genetics our general state of health is essentia ...

  • The Honeybush Miracle

    Perhaps a little eclipsed by the world-wide success of Rooibos, another natural South African health tea, Honeybush; is finally getting the attention it deserves.

    Honeybush tea ( botanical name: Cyclopia intermedia ) grows along mountain slopes in the Cedarberg and Langkloof area, and has a naturally sweet, almost honey-like taste. Its brewing colour is a pinky red. South Africa produces only 200 tons of Honeybush tea per year. Not much when compared to the annual Rooibos tea crop of around 4000 tons. This lesser known tea has, however, apparently plenty to offer.

    Just like the ...

  • A Glossary Of Penis Enlargement Terms - Part I
    Anatomy Of The Penis
    See Corpora Cavernosa and Corpus Spongisum below.

    Corpora Cavernosa
    Two chambers located either side of the Corpus Spongisum with the rich network of blood vessels that supply blood to the enis. When aroused, the blood vessels of the Corpora Cavernosa are flooded with extra blood, which in turn causes the penis to become hard and erect. Penis enlargement programs and devices work by encouraging the growth the blood vessels of the Corpora Cavernosa so that they are able to hold increased amounts of blood.
