by Rae Pica So much of what comes across my computer -- in the way of Google and New York Times alerts, and even e-mails from distraught parents and teachers -- is bad news. Or disturbing, discouraging, or all of the above. I read that recess and physical education are being cut. That children are overweight, obese, and suffering from symptoms formerly seen in adults only. That French fries are the number-one... 10/11/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Diana Lang After I posted my last post "Take a Deep Breath", I received many responses from people saying that, while they realized the importance of conscious breathing in their daily lives, they were not sure how to remember to do it. We would all like to remember to take deep, oxygen-filled breaths, hopefully many times in a day, but we are often so caught up in the moment-busy at work, busy with children,... 10/10/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Nina Atwood, M.Ed., LPC You're sitting at Starbucks. Across from you is an attractive person. You're engaged in the conversation. Now what? If you're dating smart, you're focused on more than the words being spoken, more than the person's face, hair, body, and muscle tone. If you're dating smart, you're focusing on what's not being said. You're listing carefully, paying attention to the emotional undertones. In short, you're... 10/10/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Lawrence J. Green Over the next few weeks, I would like to open up my blog page to you readers out there on the subject of who do you trust and feel most comfortable with receiving a cosmetic medical procedure from. I would define a cosmetic medical procedure as a medical procedure or treatment that alters or reshapes the structure of an individual's body just to improve the individual's appearance. So, chemical peels,... 10/8/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Donald McGee Reform of the Health Care System: Does Government Know What the Problem Really Is? As a "pit" physician, meaning I do family and emergency medicine full time, I have grave doubts that any bureaucracy, no matter how well meaning, can direct the kind of health care that we need-which is prevention. In this society in and above traumatic and serious mental health issues, the real problems are chronic... 10/8/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Robert Blaich Which chemicals your inner pharmacy produces, as well as the quantity of those chemicals, is highly influenced by the raw materials available in your body.In other words, the building blocks that you provide to your inner pharmacy through your diet and nutritional supplements greatly determines what chemicals can be created within your body that govern your physical and mental state. Want to produce... 10/5/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Robert Blaich The diaphragm is the second most important muscle in the body, second only to the heart. Yet the average person's diaphragm muscle is working at far less than 100% of its ability. Because the diaphragm is the pump that determines how much oxygen comes into our systems, anything less than 100% of normal function of this vital muscle means less oxygen to our brains as well as all our muscles and internal... 10/5/2007 7:00:00 AM
by Diana Lang The breasts are symbolic of nurturing and love. As many of you know, October is breast cancer awareness month. This is an important time to support this vital cause. Many of us have been faced with this health challenge or know someone who has. I have had the privilege of walking with many women as they have moved through breast cancer. I have been given the gift of witnessing the hero's journey that... 10/3/2007 7:00:00 AM

by Nina Atwood, M.Ed., LPC Kathy thought she'd met her ideal candidate for a serious relationship. After connecting through a popular online dating site, and talking with him on the phone, she agreed to meet at a local bar. He was a doctor; even told her which hospital he worked at. He was charming and bought her drinks. It never occurred to her that she was in danger. The next morning, she woke up groggy, sick, and in pain.... 10/1/2007 7:00:00 AM
