Dr. D's Journey Through Organic Farming Days And Letting Go Of Material Objects

Once upon a time, we were a genuine, working, organic farm. For seven years my (at-the-time) husband and I lived a green life in every sense of the word. We owned a backhoe and a tractor, and maintained 13 acres of farm land in Potomac, Maryland.

Letter From The Editor

Dear FiftyAndFurthermores,

Welcome to the Spring issue of our FiftyAndFurthermore ezine - the going Green issue (our Spring “Greenzine!”) We’ve been very busy at FiftyAnd- Furthermore, working on a new public relations outreach, as well as TV tapings for AARP and WUSA (CBS affiliate in DC). We are happily buzzing along and challenging ourselves to reach new goals and explore new opportunities. In fact, we have nurtured and grown our Greenzine issue to the point that it literally sprouted up on us and expanded to a whopping 28 pages.

The Greenzine covers a wide variety of issues, with topics ranging from high brow to high tech, serious to light-hearted, academic to controversial, sexy to substantial.  Award winning Dr. Devra Davis is a mover and shaker, and the author of a very controversial book called The Secret History of the War on Cancer. Dr. Robert Harris addresses the complexities of whether or not to drink bottled water, an important issue for grandparents and grandchildren, and all those in between. Well respected developer, Gail Montplaisir, writes about green rooftops to keep us warm. We even advise our FiftyAndFurthermore readers about which condoms are the greenest!

Feel free to pick and choose the articles that appeal to you the most. Click on the featured articles on the cover, flip through the ezine page by page, or zoom in to the table of contents for a specific articles.

While we do indeed put a lot of work into the ezine (and have a blast doing it), remember that the issues serve only as a reflection of the wonderful writing that you can find on FiftyandFurthermore.com; by no means do they include the whole spectrum of articles on the site. So be sure to check out www.FiftyAndFurthermore.com
to read the full library of our articles; we add new features daily and highlight some of the newest articles right on the front page.

And finally, I believe, as many others do, that we humans are careless and guilty of destroying ourselves. As I was working on this issue, it propelled me to visit an alternative health professional to be tested for toxins. I was loaded with them, and I believe that many of them are caused by pollutants in our environment. Whether you agree or disagree with our experts, this issues brings up many topics that have been ignored for far too long. FiftyAndFurthermore is proud to take part in helping to keep our planet green and growing.

Life is too hard to do alone - Reach out!

Dr. Dorree Lynn
Editor-in-Chief/Founder


Going green isn’t just limited to buying organic food. We all know that the fastest way to your lover’s heart is through their stomach. But did you know that organic can equal orgasmic?

Since the beginning of time, sages have understood the erotic power of food. Romans fed their beloved with tantalizing and tempting grapes. Montezuma drank dozens of cups of a chocolaty beverage every day to keep up his sexual strength. Hippocrates prescribed honey (rich in antioxidants) to boost desire, and Casanova devoured oysters (high in zinc, a mineral used in the production of testosterone in both men and women) to elevate his sexual prowess.

As FiftyAndFurthermores, we may not have the same quick trigger hormone rushes of desire that we used to. Here are some all natural organic orgasmic inducers that are sure to add some flavor and spice to your love life.

Erotic finger foods such as pitted olives, peel-and eat shrimp, and clams on a half-shell require us to eat with our hands in a slow sensual way, paying attention to the way the food makes us feel. Consider the phallic shape of vitamin packed vegetables like cucumbers, eggplant, and zucchini. Vibrant and tangy berries, cherries, pomegranates and papayas provide a sweet happy ending to any romantic interlude.

Do you have any great green tips or practices that you have incorporated into your daily lives? What about any green goals or personal pledges that you have promised to yourself, but haven’t gotten around to yet? Where do you fall short as far as your environmental responsibilities? Do you remember to recycle and buy natural organic cleaning products, but can’t get yourself to carry that ugly cloth bag to the grocery store? Do you feel guilty consuming and using non-green products like plastic bags, disposable water bottles, or harmful chemical lawn products? Or do you think going green is all being blown out of proportion? Do you own a fur coat, yet wear organic cosmetics not tested on animals? We won’t judge you!

Write us, we’d love to hear your thoughts about struggling to remain guilt-free and green on an increasingly complicated planet. We are all looking for practical answers on how to save the planet for generations to come. Please send us your GREENEST TIPS to
