About Me View My Posts
Before we start talking about the future of smart garments with heart rate monitoring built right in the fabric (yes, it’s coming and I’m sure we’ll be writing about it), let’s first take a look at a few of the good ol’, tried & true chest strap heart rate monitors. These are known for being closer to actual EKG readings than the newer wrist-strap models, though technology is evolving quickly for... 10/14/2014 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Half a world away, the largest Ebola outbreak in history has reached a staggering death toll numbering in the thousands. In some areas, medical personnel are unable to contain the infection to prevent the spread of this deadly disease that carries up to a 90% mortality rate in the affected African countries.

The CDC must publish this protocol lapse, so we all can be better informed. I mentioned in the preceding article... 10/13/2014 7:00:00 AM

Ebola: The Good & the Bad News
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
It may surprise some people to know that there is anything along the lines of “good news” in relation to Ebola but that is, strangely, the case. Actually, disasters sometimes bring benefits which people may appreciate only after deep introspection; then again, there are those who feel guilty at recognizing any such “benefits” out of fear that they will be accused of being insensitive. On the other... 10/12/2014 7:00:00 AM

In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue... I was surprised to find that Columbus Day is still an official Federal holiday. Christopher Columbus was a much bigger figure in American history when I was in elementary school back in the 1970s, as our history textbooks told his same heroic story for generations. After all he discovered America, didn’t he? He had three ships and left... 10/8/2014 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
You can tell it’s October, and it’s certainly not because of fall-like temperatures in Los Angeles, or even because pumpkin-flavoring has temporarily become a daily dietary supplement. We’re used to all that. What seems more prevalent than before are omnipresent spikes in use of the color pink, particularly as a fashion accessory, and a definite uptick in non-pejorative use of the word “ta-tas” in... 10/5/2014 7:00:00 AM

How A Chiropractor Can Treat Chronic Headaches
by Stephen Graham
About Me View My Posts
We all know what it’s like to get a headache from time to time, but for those who suffer with migraines and other chronic forms of pain, it can seem like the headaches will never go away. The first thing most of us do is go find a pill to swallow and while it may give you short term relief, it isn’t really addressing the problem, or the cause of the problem.
