Can You Visit Your Physician Online?
by Donald McGee
About Me View My Posts
Most physician visits have more to do with information and consultation than actual treatment (e.g. prescriptions). What is now emerging are companies recruiting physicians to take information calls, presumably to back up a person's search on the internet with more professional advice. After all, people do trust physicians more than any other source.With ObamaCare and the tectonic shifts in health... 2/20/2015 8:00:00 AM

The Foundation of Self-Love
by Sandra Watson
About Me View My Posts
Creating a good life starts with self-love, and the foundation of self-love is self-care. For many of us, this is a foreign concept; we are amazing at caring for and loving others.

What they are concerned about or opposed to is the blatant secrecy that surrounds many of the ingredients in vaccines.They also oppose the militarization of medicine (to the point of forcing people to comply... 2/9/2015 10:00:00 PM
