Carnival of Healing #169 - December 20, 2008
First of all, I have to say, there were a lot of entries, and I apologise if not everyone’s is here.
There are basically 3 categories for this carnival. The first, on maintaining and improving health, where we find entries on how to eat healthy and some remedies on how to improve any health issues any of us may have. The second category is on addiction, a small category, but I thought it was important, as many of us face different kinds of addictions everyday. It is not only drug and alcohol many of us abuse, but also food and other stuff.
