As far as my friend goes, he's doing better. He's taking baby steps toward adding truly healthy choices to his lifestyle. I won't even attempt to detoxify his off-kilter mindset scammer that places such ridiculous paradigms of health on a pedestal. As long as he's getting healthier, that's what matters most... for now.
An old man goes to a doctor for a thorough medical examination. After the examination medicals fake the doctor tells him that he has good as well as bad news for him. He asks the patient what he would like to hear first. The patient says he would want to hear the bad news first. The doctor says that you have cancer and you have only about two years. The old man becomes worried that his life will be over after two years. He asks the doctor for the good news.

Since then I have been reading funny jokes almost every time I feel like laughing and getting relief from everyday stress.
There are many factors to weigh when considering the need to send out a press release. As a book publicist I have sent thousands of releases over the years and while there are no hard and fast rules, the most important factor is that you've got to make sure it's newsworthy and useful to the reader. Anything else and it's just a waste of time for the members of the media.
