All posts by George Walters

George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

Diabetes Drug Actos Again Linked to Bladder Cancer

Every once in awhile a news report comes out in the paper that seems to just jump out at me. This one here click link below to view, sure takes the icing off the cake, or so to speak.  I know most folks would say on the cake, but that is others, not me.  First off they say that this drug that folks are  taking to help Diabetes, can and for most parts will increase your risk of cancer.  Think about that for a minute, one drug…. to help folks, along with what has the possibilities of making one deathly sick, both…. all wrapped up into, one nice little pill.  The thing that really is amazing, is that folks still take these drugs and I say these drugs, as there is millions of them out there that do the same thing.  Wake up folks, do the research, then hopefully you will make the right decision. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out which road you should choose.  The best road that is out there, through my eyes is Natural.  Yep good old Mother Nature.  Don’t your remember!!!!! that;  “Mothers Know Best”.  Here is the link.  My Opinion Only.

Can Mother Earth Fight Off Most All Health Related Problems??

You know for years I have said that these so called antibacterial agents are causing more harm than good.  For most parts what they do, is kill pretty well all bacterial good and bad. Think about this. Bacteria on ones hands, say good bacterial will not allow bad bacteria to survive in its territory.  So if you have good bacterial on your skin and say you were out shopping and came upon a bad strain, it wouldn’t harm you.  So thinking on this I came up with a plan. If you have a garden with good soil and I mean, good soil, why not just swish your hands around in good old Mother Earth. Doing that will bring forth good bacteria, which if done on a regular basis will allow it colonize on your skin, which in turn, will then help you fight off any bad bacteria that might come your way throughout the day, months or maybe even years to come.  I have been doing some experimenting with good healthy soil now, for over ten years and have found, it in itself has amazing healing capabilities when applied to the skin and wouldn’t hesitate to use it for all kinds of skin related problems, or for that matter what lies underneath the skin.  Remember this folks, we all come from the earth, we need it to survive as we need the sun.  So why not use what has been given to us free of charge.  In getting close to Nature one would soon find that most of all these so called medicines and drugs of today are not, really needed at all.  Have a great day and remember that, this is My Opinion Only.

Sodas, Pops, What They Do To You

The average American consumes about 1 gallon of soda per week, which equates to more than 18 fluid ounces, or 1.5 sodas per day. These sodas are loaded with sugar, with a 12oz can containing 35-45 grams – an amount that exceeds the recommended daily intake of ~15 grams. What’s more, these sugars are typically in the form of high-fructose corn syrup, one of the cheapest, and most health-hazardous forms of sugar that can be used.
