submitted by: admin on 11/06/2013
If we are fortunate to have our parents until they are old, we need to be prepared when the end is in sight.

Imagination and Stress with Martin Rossman, MD
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
Human imagination is the strongest force on earth aside from God or nature. It makes us the most creative force on earth. Planning ahead is a good quality, but too much allows us to imagine dangers that may never happen. Habitual worriers can shift their thinking through meditative practice.

Lack of sleep leads to a rise in cortisol and insulin resistance, which leads to the development of type 2 diabetes.

Lack of sleep also leads to leptin resistance and nocturnal feeding.

Integrative Cancer Strategies
submitted by: admin on 06/18/2016
When you have a diagnosis of cancer, choosing a treatment is very challenging. We cannot go to a single practitioner most of the time because they know either mainstream or CAM approaches.

Is Coca-Cola another Phillip Morris?
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
Coca-Cola is intensifying its ads portraying the company as trying to lessen the epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes by producing better tasting artificial sweeteners and introducing smaller cans. This seems like full blown damage control to preserve the market for a product that is causing the the problem. In our opinion they are pretending they're...
Is infant formula safe?
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013

It Is Not About Covid Anymore
submitted by: admin on 09/18/2020
We're all getting very tired of hearing about Covid 19 and Black Lives
Matter. The path we're on in dealing with these disasters is taking us
down the wrong rabbit hole. We have not only failed to find a cure in
the mainstream for either problem but we also have failed our economy
and our spirit. Addiction to drugs and...
