The Swan on the Chopping BlockWhen Anderson wrote 'The Ugly Duckling', he was imagining a natural transformation from awkward youth to mature beauty. His vision did not include a meat cleaver. The new network show, 'The Swan' is a travesty on so many levels that it is difficult to know where to begin. There is nothing wrong with using cosmetic surgery to correct a definitive flaw but to turn yourself over to megalomaniacs with scalpels is cause for more therapy than these women are receiving. It is unconscionable that ...

The Pain FactorThe Pain Factor Last year I told an acquaintance that at the age of 46, I had taken up running. The reply was, 'Oh, that's awfully hard on your knees.' At first I was taken aback.

New Findings on the Role of Glutathione in CancerCopyright © 2004 Priya Shah Cancer cells and normal cells are known to respond differently to nutrients and drugs that affect glutathione status. Numerous studies have shown that tumor cells have elevated levels of glutathione levels, which confers resistance to chemotherapy drugs.

Monitoring BMI In Children Today Could Lead To Better HealthIn a new study published by the American Heart Association, it is suggested that infants who gain weight rapidly during their first week may be more likely to have weight problems later in life. This study has led to a recommendation to monitor Body Mass Index (BMI) readings in children in an effort to fight obesity through heightened awareness. According to the American Heart Association, about 15% of children are overweight and obese. This measure is up from 5% in the 1980s. Children ...

Our Health Report CardToday in the United States we spend over one and a half trillion dollars a year on health care. That represents the highest spending per person in the world. With that entire investment one would think that Americans are the healthiest people in the world. And yet a recent report from the World Health Organization ranked the United States 37th in overall health. This certainly does not earn the United States an 'A.' If you factor in the spending, it would even seem like we get an 'F' in our ...

Resources for Wheelchair ExercisersAsk most people of the challenges they face following through with an exercise program and you're likely to hear the common complaints: Lack of motivation, being too tired, not having enough time, too busy. Or as someone recently told me, "My get up and go has gotten up and gone". But imagine having the unique challenge of not being able to, literally, "get up and go". This is the unique challenge of the more than 56 million disabled individuals in the U.S. alone, many who are wheelchair ...
