Sun, 22 Aug 2010 01:11:49 -0500

There is the underlying assumption that modernity translatesinto better health. A corollary of this logic is that we canlive our lives pretty much as we want because we can always buya repair. You know, the car won't start, the TV is broken, thetelephone is dead - no problem. Just call in an expert, spendsome money and all is well. People carry this over to their thinking about health.

The following is taken right from the pages of theJournal of the American Medical Association July , : "Of countries in a recent health comparison, the United Statesthe most modern and advanced in the world ranks an average of...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:21:12 -0500

I have recently had the moons on my index fingernails begin topeep back into existence. They had disappeared long ago, and asfar as I could tell, had disappeared with the same speed thatridges on my fingernails had developed.I remember looking at my fingernails one night several years agoand wondering, 'When did my nails stop being smooth?'Because I had been worried about ongoing problems, I hadn't beenpaying attention to myself and as stress mounted, manicures werethe last thing on my mind.Perhaps because it seemed appropriate that hurdle-high ridgeshad appeared on my fingernails, matching the mounting hurdles inmy life, I wondered if the ridges could be related to health. It would take nearly two years for me to learn that the ridgeswere a result of low vitamin B; not a 'B deficiency'exactly, because at , my serum blood level was in the lownormal range and nothing to worry about, according to my doctor.But after my feet and hands were frequently tingling and nu...

No matter howmany ways you can measure and quantify shadows, you cannot sweepthem under a rug, cut them out of the room, or invent somechemical to get rid of the shadow. The only thing you can do isturn on the light.Health is the thing. And no matter h...
