About Me View My Posts
As a therapist of 20 years, I am always amazed by how many people come to me anxious and depressed, yet not realizing why they are feeling that way. Maybe they have lost a loved one, or were in an accident, or were bullied or abused in some way as a child. Maybe their family doctor put them on antidepressants, or antianxiety medication, maybe they have seen a therapist, but they still don't feel really... 5/4/2015 7:00:00 AM

Most of us have been told at one point or another in our lives to “take a deep breath and relax.” Turns out, there is scientific evidence in the context of meditation to back up that advice. But what exactly is meditation anyway? There are different ways to meditate, and because it is such a personal practice, there are many ways to go about meditating. When I write about meditation, I am referring... 4/29/2015 7:00:00 AM

The Most Important Discovery in Medical Science History?
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
One revolutionary theory that is of special importance in medicine is the germ theory of disease: the (at the time) shocking realization or assertion that many diseases (most significantly, those that were responsible for the highest mortality globally) had a microbiological origin--to put it more bluntly, those that were caused by tiny organisms, many of which could not be seen with the naked eye.... 4/25/2015 7:00:00 AM

“I occasionally drink too much, but it’s not a problem for me.” How many people have said that? They may be fooling themselves if they think that going overboard, or “binge drinking” of alcohol doesn’t affect their overall health.Just four glasses of wine for women or five glasses for men in 2 hours can do more harm to a person's health than previously thought, according to new research from the University... 4/25/2015 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
It’s safe to say that the average American's relationship with exercise is not the healthiest. Exercise, to many Americans, is an activity done as a means to an end — whether it be to lose weight, improve a current diagnosis or train for a specific event. It’s not typically done for its own sake or for the pure enjoyment of it. While at the gym, most people distract themselves from the discomfort associated... 4/23/2015 7:00:00 AM

Hospitals use telemedicine platforms in normal, profit-driven ways as do other providers. Follow up care, virtual appointments, and multiple provider collaborations, are examples. An innovative practice called community paramedicine involves utilizing paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) for in-home care.

Can Everything Heal?
by Glen Swartwout
About Me View My Posts
I love contemplating the big questions...Like: "Can everything heal?"As a trained doctor and scientist, of course, comes the trained knee-jerk response, "No way...""Most significant traumas never fully heal...""That's why we carry scars...""And most toxin exposures don't fully heal...""That's why we all carry toxins stored in our tissues, even though we have eliminated some along the way..."But the... 4/21/2015 8:34:09 PM
