Nutrition and Weight Control Simplified

By: John Houston Batchelor

I have always been interested in good health, but was never quite sure what that was. Like most people, I would just hear a little something from whomever and accept that as fact. I spent my life working two jobs, struggling with bills, raising a family and trying to find ways to enjoy my life as well and I suspect that many others do and have done the same. 24/7, we are bombarded with nonsense from many quarters, most of it from money mongers that would fleece us out of our hard earned money. This is not restricted to nutrition and weight control, but many other things as well. We are attacked from all sides, T.V. commercials, cooking shows that have no interest in our health, only what money they can make by showing us how to cook in an unhealthy and irresponsible way. I think that I have compiled some useful information, not only for myself, but information that may help many, many others, I feel like I have discovered the Holy Grail. I hope you find it useful as well. I suspect that 99% of people that read my little book will find many things that they didnt know before and improve their own lives, as well as avoiding much of the nonsense and wasting time and money chasing those magic rainbows. It is much simpler than you might think.

The Silver Dollar Kid

By: John Houston Batchelor

This is not another saga of the Old West or a who-done-it, nor is it a children's book, but simply the true story of my unusual life. It is as accurate, honest, and true as far as my memory permits. I will be judged harshly for some for my actions, but it is not about right or wrong or good or bad; it is only about what happened and led me to develop into the person that I have become through my many adventures and what I did about them. I have no intention of trying to flower it up, to be more appealing. It is not a fictional story. I have included situations that stick out the most in my mind and just omitted many other experiences that were interesting to me but probably not to others. I have also just omitted some names of those who do not wish to be identified. My intention was not to embarrass anybody else, but just maybe myself. It is all now just water under the bridge, and I couldn't go back and change anything, even if I wanted to, which I don't think I would, except for some very minor things that I regret. Since it is a true story, it is R-rated and not suitable for children to read. No, its not porn either!

I Cannot Forget

Imprisoned in Korea, Accused at Home

By: John Wilson Moore,Judith Fenner Gentry

Eighteen-year-old Johnny Moore was an energetic, self-confident private first class when he entered combat with a heavy-weapons platoon in Korea. Four and a half months later, after surviving heavy attacks on the Pusan Perimeter and in one of the forward units of the western column advancing on the Yalu River, he was captured by the Chinese infantry. Moore and other American POWs suffered from starvation rations, bitter cold, and mental torment. Although the intense Chinese efforts to change the prisoners’ ideologies were largely unsuccessful, they were very effective in engendering distrust among the prisoners and abandonment of duty by the officers. Encouraged by an American sergeant, Moore worked with his captors to obtain better sanitation, a fairer distribution of food, and, on two occasions, medicine for the sick. Twice he tried to escape from imprisonment. Just four days after his twenty-first birthday, in 1953, the Chinese released him. Moore cooperated fully with US military interrogators, giving as much information as he could on the prison camp and the methods his captors had used. But two years later, army officers arrested him at his home and charged him with treason. Although the charge was dropped and a Field Board of Inquiry returned him to regular duty, the army’s treatment of him left Moore further traumatized. He eventually went AWOL and turned to drinking, gambling, and other self-destructive behaviors. Military historian Judith Fenner Gentry has worked with Moore’s memoirs of his experiences during and after the war to corroborate, clarify, elaborate, and situate his story within the larger events in Korea and in the Cold War. She has consulted records from courts-martial, newspaper interviews with returning POWs, and Freedom of Information Act documents on the Army Criminal Investigation Division and the Army Counter-Intelligence Corps.
