About Me View My Posts
Medical records are one-stop shopping for identity thieves. There is no need to slowly gather bits and pieces of someone's personal information - it's all packaged together: Social Security number, name, address, phone number, even payment accounts. Crooks have received everything from medication to a liver transplant using a stolen identity. And that's only the tip of the iceberg! More than just medical... 6/5/2010 11:52:03 AM

How do I delete my Facebook account? I get asked this question every day. At my speeches, by my clients, by my friends and family. It used to be that people no longer wanted the mundane information overload that Facebook promotes. But now they are looking at it from a privacy perspective -- they no longer want their thoughts, pictures, and videos shared indiscriminately with people they don't know.... 5/14/2010 3:43:38 PM

Recently, the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) issued a position statement on whether or not it was healthy for women to take HRT for menopause. It was a long paper with a short answer. Women near the time of menopause would benefit from HRT but only for a short time and HRT should not be used by women older than 60. Does something change in a woman's body on the day she turns 60 years old?... 5/14/2010 9:12:09 AM

I feel that we are in a precarious position, and our children are in danger of suffering from our lack of self-respect. So let's pick it up from here. What I always tell people is that even though we may have roots that connect us to the animal world, we also have a brain that functions at a higher level.... 5/5/2010 12:03:46 PM

Controlling Mold: Prevention is the Key
by linda-mundorff
About Me View My Posts
Decades ago, little was known about the causal relationship between mold and its effects on the body. Mold (also known as fungus) thrives in moist environments; therefore, you can still develop a mold problem even if you live in arid climates such as Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, or Colorado. Exposure to mold will eventually develop into cold or allergy-like symptoms. Left untreated, mold exposure can... 4/16/2010 12:57:15 PM
