by Fred Fletcher IntroductionEvery year thousands of people are either intimidated or “sold” into believing that they absolutely must get a flu shot. This is especially true for the elderly, the immune-suppressed, pregnant women, people already sick, and people that work with the public. If the powers that be (Big Pharma, the AMA, the CDC, etc.) were being entirely forthcoming, honest and comprehensive about the information... 10/28/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Heather Carey, MS Here is a true confession that I don't include in my bio on my website. In the not so long ago past I had been carrying an extra 20 pounds on my not so large 5'4" frame. How much I weighed doesn't matter. It was too much for me, my height, my age and my body type ( I was not a body builder so I hardly had that excuse).So how did it come to be that someone who has extensive training in nutrition and... 10/23/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Ramona Zabriskie Over the last several years, as an author, educator, and mentor of women, I have analyzed marriage from a multiplicity of angles—that is from material written by professional governmental, educational, and faith-based sociologists, scientists, and psychologists, as well as journalists, philosophers, and novelists.

There are several apps out there that can come to your rescue with different uses... 10/23/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Laura Bonarrigo Dating after divorce in the hopes of finding true love can be a difficult experience. It’s not just the fact that you’re older or nervous, tired of rejection and being pushed aside by so many options these days. No matter what you’re saying to yourself, anybody divorced, anyone dating a divorcé really, is riddled with a whole host of questions like a reporter sussing out a lead… “What broke them apart?... 10/18/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Wellness Editor About 15 million people worldwide suffer from complications caused by either disease or trauma to the cornea, the outer surface of the eye. About a third of those people live with total blindness. With the availability of corneas for transplant far from meeting the demand, researchers have turned to various media for prosthetics. Recently, a team at Newcastle University discovered a way to recreate... 10/18/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Megan Johnson McCullough Head, shoulders, knees, & toes...When a chain moves, all the links move as part of the system. The chain in our body consists of bones stacked on joints. Our kinetic chain might remind you of the old saying and kids' song, “Head, shoulders, knees, and toes…knees and toes.” The kinetic chain of the body for movement consists of the head, shoulders, hips, knees, and feet. When the chain is lined up correctly,... 10/18/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Fred Fletcher Foreword: As a journalist/reporter, it’s my duty to present information in an objective, unbiased and well-balanced manner.

by Ramona Zabriskie I have often lain in my husband’s arms and made him promise to never leave me. Though I know they are only words, I still want to be assured again and again. Lady Mary Pierrepont understood this. In a letter to her future husband, Edward Montagu, on the eve of their marriage in 1712, she wrote: “Are you sure you shall love me forever? Shall we never repent? I fear and I hope.”“I fear and hope.” Does... 10/8/2018 4:00:00 AM
