About Me View My Posts
The job of nurturing an impressionable mind has always been a challenge. The once gradual ascent into adulthood is now a sharp rise. Every single day parents in America are confronted with the task of monitoring their child's influences. New technologies, social crazes and information portals emerge on a monthly basis, making the job of policing what goes into a child's brain all the more difficult.... 1/14/2010 12:23:34 PM

A Catastrophe Coming: One Year to Go

About Me View My Posts
Welcome to the New Year! With 2010 upon us, it's appropriate to remind all Americans, once again, of a tax law time bomb that continues to tick methodically. There are now only twelve months to go before detonation. What is the cause of this coming disaster? Let me take you back nearly nine years so you may witness its creation. On May 26, 2001, the U. S. Congress passed the Economic Growth and Tax... 1/11/2010 7:47:28 AM

Healthcare reform and hypogonadism-part 3
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
A little background first... The only way to save money is to prevent major diseases that cost a lot of money to treat and cure. The length of our lifespan makes every one of us vulnerable to major diseases, not because of our age, but because of untreated chronic illness. Every one of us, woman and man, will suffer from hypogonadism (also called peri-menopause in women and andropause in men) from... 1/11/2010 12:01:58 AM

About Me View My Posts
The way it should be.... Everybody talks prevention. No one really knows how to do as it involves behavior. It is not pills or MRI's; it is about how we choose and live. If 80% of what causes disease and economic distress is silent inflammation, then our clinics should be anti inflammatory....and behavioral. How can we do this? I will suggest a model consist with our modern age; not the age of horse... 1/6/2010 8:00:00 AM

The average American gains around five pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Five pounds may not seem much, but if they never come off, that's 50 pounds over 10 years. Ouch. We are becoming more overweight with each year and-not coincidentally-diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and many other diseases are on the rise. So what can we do? The most important thing is to set goals. Write them down,... 12/28/2009 6:09:04 PM

About Me View My Posts
The sad aspect of our expensive health care system is the institutionalized ignorance about the role of non-pharmaceutical prevention of 80% of what costs all of us in this debate: heart disease, strokes, hypertension, many cancers, diabetes, alzheimer's, peripheral vascular disease, and so on. The real disease is a silent or painless inflammation of small arteries embedded in our heart, brain, kidneys,... 12/14/2009 8:00:00 AM

Building Self Esteem 8 Ways:Remove The Blocks to Growth and You'll Love Your Life

About Me View My Posts
Coaches often use a Life Balance Wheel to help clients determine whether their lives are in balance. Sometimes I suggest to a client to draw a circle, divide it into eighths and use the labels shown below for each section of the pie. Then I'll suggest they put a mark in each section from 1 through 10 to show their satisfaction in that area of their lives. Take a minute and do it for yourself....don't... 12/5/2009 9:17:15 AM

Five Things You Need to Know When Your Parents Retire
by MaryLloyd
About Me View My Posts
Parenting is a full time effort, but sometimes it's your own parents who need attention-especially when they are getting ready to retire. As a culture, we do a lousy job of helping people with this transition. At best, we encourage them to be sure they have enough money. But that's just the price of admission. To retire well, there are a whole lot more important things to consider. Here are five of... 12/3/2009 12:24:15 PM

Legacy of Meadowlark
by Donald McGee
About Me View My Posts
As a young physician fed up with the disease based health care system, I was ready to quit medicine when I finished my internship, some decades ago now after Medical School in New York City and Internship in San Francisco. Somehow then, I felt that wellness and prevention had to be more important, and they had to be tied into the personal development and maturity of the person and the play groups (family,... 12/1/2009 8:00:00 AM

Before, During, and After: How to Declare a Truce at the Holiday Dinner Table
by SharonRivkin
About Me View My Posts
With the holidays fast approaching, our emotions seem to jump all over the place. We're excited, anxious, stressed, because there's so much to plan, and we want the holidays to be perfect. Yet, the thought of the holiday dinner quickly reminds us of past events that have been anything but loving and peaceful. Most families have some kind of history of arguments that seem to erupt at the yearly holiday... 11/13/2009 10:06:39 AM
