The Pat on the Back
There is nothing better than having someone verbally "pat you on the back." It doesn’t matter what the pat on the back is for…you just know that it makes you feel good, lifts you up and boosts your spirit. It would be great if we all had someone give us a verbal ‘pat on the back’ every day, unfortunately that’s not the case. Some of you may go all day, week or even all month before someone gives you that verbal "pat on the back," which is unfortunate, because many of us need those little words of encouragement.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dr. Len Lopez
"The body is like a chain...it's as strong as its weakest link. The human body is linked together by various systems and organs (Digestive, Elimination, Hormonal, Immune, Cardiovascular, etc...) and you are only as healthy as its weakest functioning system"
Health is like debt. To get out of debt you cut your spending and increase your earnings. To restore health you have to quit doing things that are making you worse...and do more of the things that will make you stronger"
