Teens and Drugs, Find the Answers!

Happy Holidays! We are dealing with an ongoing disaster, everyday of every year, that is more devastating to more people than the tragedies in New Orleans, Alabama and Mississippi combined. It kills more people everyday than Diabetes, Cancer and Heart disease combined. The cost and consequences of substance abuse places an enormous burden on American society. As the nation’s number one health problem, addiction strains the health care system, the economy, harms family life and threatens public safety. Substance abuse crosses all societal boundaries, affects both genders, every ethnic group, and people in every tax bracket. Scientific documentation defines alcoholism and drug dependence as a dis-ease that has roots in both genetic susceptibility and personal behavior. HELP US HELP OTHERS BY CLICKING BELOW!

Happy Healthy Holidays! Smile...

Happy Holidays! When The Cool Change Foundation started people were skeptical that we could make “recovery cool” and available to everybody whether their life depended on it or not. And that the subject of “recovery without shame” could be discussed by experts and volunteers together creating a new view of recovery expressed through interviews, books, seminars, and conversations – all for the simple purpose of removing the recovery stigma. Nine years later nearly 20 million people have used our websites - life changing interviews, and conversations, all produced by people like you that believe in the cause, helping others. Each year at this time, we reach out and ask folks all across TCCF community to help sustain our joint enterprise with a modest donation of $5, $10, $20 or more. If you value Cool Change Radio & TV as a source of information, inspiration and helping others thru recovery without sigma I hope you’ll choose to act right now. Donate now because everyone counts!

Here's Bradley's latest interview, it's with author and nutritional specialist Dr. Earl Mindell about his latest book is Dr. Earl Mindell’s Nutrition Bible. He’s written several bestselling books that have sold over 10 million copies. He teaches the benefits that are reaped from nature’s own foods in the form of vitamins, how B complex and C could alleviate stress, how vitamin E can increase ones endurance and stamina, and how B12 could eliminate fatigue. He says, After embarking on the most elementary vitamin regimens he was not only convinced, he was converted.
