Silent Inflammation (of our small arteries) Blog No. 1
by Donald McGee
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

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

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

Analyzing Dreams - To Find The Truth
by Amitt Parikh
About Me View My Posts
Every night we go to sleep and witness many dreams. We almost spend our one-third life in sleeping. Whether you are able to remember your dreams or not, everybody dreams and it's a fact. I have been conscious of my dreams since past few years and wondered their complex stories and how they would perfectly reflect my state of beliefs, desires, fears, and aspirations working as a perfect mirror of my... 11/8/2009 11:36:58 AM

Swine Flu: H1N1
by Donald McGee
About Me View My Posts
Just FYI: As an ER physician, I am seeing Influenza A, H1N1 variety, every day. This virus has a very common and rapid onset constellation of symptoms: slight sore throat, a rapidly developing cough with bronchial "burning," fever, headache, and muscle aches. There are effective antiviral medications you can take early on, IF you can get to your physician ASAP. After 48 hours from the starting of symptoms,... 10/30/2009 7:00:00 AM

Generation E: Some Ways to Deal with Stress
by Janet_Levine
About Me View My Posts
Stress is pervasive in our lives. Therefore it is not a question of how to avoid stress, but rather how to deal with stress. Stress does not lessen as you grow older, it simply takes different forms. Here are two examples. The high school juniors I teach are stressed because academically this is the year that will decide which college they will enter in 2011. So many students apply early action or... 10/26/2009 2:26:04 PM

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

About Me View My Posts
Today is the first day of the rest of my life! That is probably my favorite saying! What would the world be like if we all started every day thinking that. I think there would be more smiles and less road rage. More kindness and less impatience. Maybe, you'd even find that you'd be nicer to yourself. Start the day with a positive saying. What we've done in the past is.. just that, in the past. Mistakes... 10/18/2009 5:18:23 PM

Healthcare reform and hypogonadism - Part 2
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Before we get started, a little background. The gonads of women (ovaries) and of men (testicles) produce all of the same hormones, estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, dhea and more. When 1 or 2 gonadal hormones fall below normal levels the resulting illness is called hypogonadism. When 3 or more gonadal hormones fall below normal levels the resulting illness is called profound hypogonadism. Hypogonadism... 10/17/2009 11:52:50 PM
