It would seem that I did a whole lot more damage to my back than I thought back in December. In fact I managed to really do myself hurt in January doing a practice golf swing. Slipped a disc and pinched nerves. I have a long explanation of the whole painful thing but need to read over it and check the spelling before I publish it here.I am trying to get back into a daily routine that does not

Once again it is time to reflect on the past year and determine what should be part of the new year and what should be left behind.After 60 years of resolving to lose weight I don't even bother with that one.I look back at old pictures and realize that I was not fat --- just not in style but I kept the thought that I was fat and lo and behold here it is.So my resolution this year is to walk

Oh what a strange day. It is cold and rainy. Perfect day to clean the oven. Self cleaning kind, slide the lock push the button. My daughters helped with the cooking on Thanksgiving and there were a few spills.About a half hour later, I glanced at the oven. Surprise, flames flickering. That was new and not good. I have cleaned this oven many many times and never seen flames. Of course the

We went to see my grandson's football game in San Angelo this past Friday. Since he lives an 8 hour drive away, San Angelo is only a 3 hour drive from San Antonio so we grabbed the chance to see him. His team won so that was good.We stayed over night at the Angelo Inn - Goodfellow AFB guest housing - one of the perks of military retirement. I cannot say enough good things about the Inn. The

September is here and that brings up vacation time for my husband and I. We purchased a condo week in Ruidoso, NM 20 years ago. I look forward to that week so much. I miss the mountains and the smell of pine.The week following the condo we will do our trip to Hobbs, NM to see my husband's family. That is not a restful week. We split our time between his father's house, his mother's house and

I really did not plan on taking the entire summer off. But, a combination of surgery for the youngest daughter, wedding for the eldest, taking out the back yard swimming pool, youngest daughter's trip to South Korea, drought and extreme heat - well I guess I have to admit I am not as young as I once was.Still I managed to help move over 40 yards of dirt from the driveway to the back yard to fill

Just the Facts on the FluDuring the flu epidemic of 2003-04 about 36,000 people died. Most of the deaths were in the older than 65 age group, but some were in the 50-65 range and 143 children were in the reported statistics. What is important to note is that the number of deaths and hospitalizations were not significantly more than in previous epidemics. In fact - an epidemic of flu occurs

Why must we fight about this. Alternative therapies can go hand in hand with the modern medical world. They can complement each other, they can enhance the benefits of each.Your job, right now today, is to get and maintain the healthiest body possible. If at some time in the future you have a problem, see a medical professional. Find one that believes in both therapies and work with that

As usual it has been an interesting week at my house. Monday was the ER with my daughter and a severe gall bladder attack. They contemplated taking the gall bladder that day but decided not to as it was her first really painful attack. Her surgical consult is not until May 18, first available day but should she have another similar attack they would take it then. Finals at her college are

It is one thing to read about the Swine Flu in other parts of the country or other countries. It is quite another to have it affect schools and towns right in your own backyard.It was officially announced on the evening news that the Schertz, Cibolo, and Universal City schools would be closed this coming week due to concerns about Swine flu. There were 2 confirmed cases in the Schertz school

If you are so afraid of mainstream medicine and your experiences with physicians has been so uncomfortable, you may ignore that area of expertise. I have been to doctors who totally misdiagnosed my condition. It is to say the least upsetting.But you have to remember that the members of the alternative medicine group can be just as inefficient. If it seems that the alternative practitioner is

We all want to look younger, unless we are younger. Strange that people always want what they don't have. Instead of considering what wonderful things we have available today, we wish for tomorrow and some miracle to make "it" all better.I remember vividly watching a face lift video. Back then it was not called a video but was an educational film. Still gives me the shivers. The film also

If you are a fan of western movies you know that phrase.

We have talked about sorting your supplements and prescriptions into groups with and without food, once a day and multiple times a day. You now have all those bottles sitting in their own little box marked with or without food. Or maybe you have several boxes - with or without food, morning or multiple times a day.May I suggest a simple system to easily identify what is which. It is a color

Just because "it" is natural doesn't mean "it" can't kill or cripple you. Homeopathic remedies work because they are strong medicines that impact the body. Problems can occur when natural remedies are combined without consideration for the interaction of all those individual herbs.

I received an invitation to join a group that is pushing a miracle cure. The web site does not proclaim a miracle cure - that would be against the law.

The rising cost of health care may not be what you would think.

I have been busy for several days now trying to get my web site back into perfect working condition. Another example of letting something go until it is a major job. I feel like I am barely making a dent, but each dent must be made to reshape the whole.Anyway, I found a couple of articles that I had been working on but never published so thought I would give you some links.Bringing herbal lore

We have all been there. The new project, the fear and anticipation, the excitement of something new.We have all been there. Trying to breathe life into an old project, the boredom, the failures, knowing in your heart that it is just no good. Knowing that you are just not good enough to do it.These words bring to mind all the diets, exercise programs, eating healthy resolutions and promises to

Eating natural foods in a natural state and living green. One would think this is a new concept instead of an ages old concept. Once it was just a necessity. There was very little in the way of processed food - just canned goods and smoked meat. Everything was recycled and everyone did the recycling.Automation and factories took the canning out of the home kitchen. In fact, it took the cooking

As you may have noticed I have not been posting very much lately. I have the worst possible excuse -- fear. A couple of months ago I received a letter from someone who had read one of my articles on the web site. She took great exception to it and was very verbally abusive. I do not expect that everyone will agree with what I write or publish. I have had letters in the past that questioned

Would you be willing to save a life?For a lot of people, the risks associated with giving CPR out weigh the benefits. Just the idea of breathing into someone else's mouth, particularly a stranger, is enough to stop them from helping.Over the years that I have been CPR "certified", I have seen many changes in the counts. Now simplicity is the key and the odds just jumped for any victim.Please

The usual interesting day in the world of health news.According to the Journal of American Medical Assoc a study was conducted (wonder who sponsored this one) to find out if a placebo pill marked as price reduced and made in China would give pain relief as well as a placebo pill marked as expensive.I understand the concept of the actual medication versus a placebo but what does this study prove.

And yet another reason to lose weight.Good old vitamin D - Most doctors and researchers now agree that vitamin D is the key to strong bones and prevention of many of the diseases now associated with aging.

We all know of the overnight success -- the one who worked his or her whole life to achieve that goal. And though we may acknowledge that work, we still tend to think of it as just one "break" that got that person the prize.If you think about it, everyone is on that same path. At least in terms of aging and health.You work your whole life on your health. No you say, I didn't work at anything

I feel like I have been missing since just before Christmas. It started when I hurt my elbow at work. I had to go to the med clinic that the store uses. My blood pressure was 195/120. Since the blood pressure had nothing to do with the elbow injury, the doctor would not treat it and suggested I see my own doctor.At the time I did not have a doctor so I made an appointment with my husband's

Last night I had a strange happening. When I got home from work, I had a banana and a glass of orange juice. About an hour later, I started to itch. No hives, but just an itching sensation all over my body. It felt like like tiny bugs crawling all over me. I could not find any Benadryl in the house so just suffered.I have never had any reaction to a banana or to a glass of juice before this.

Hand Sanitizers are hazardous to your health. Especially children.It should be common knowledge that hand sanitizers only kill very weak germs and allow thestronger ones to mutate and grow adding to the growing list of super germs.The main ingredient in the gel sanitizers is alcohol. When a pre- schooler swallowed herhand sanitizer instead of rubbing it on her hands, she became quite ill. An

Yes diet and exercise have a major impact on your heart health. But your mental outlook can be the killer.Stress comes from many sources but the capacity to deal with stress is only in your brain and your response to the stress.The British Medical Journal published a study done on women asking the question Do you feel that you are being treated unfairly.

I have a confession. Because of various things happening in my life in the past couple of weeks - months, I have been neglecting my health. I haven't been eating the right stuff and in fact have been following the sumo diet -- Eat meal, sleep, no breakfast, little physical activity and gain weight. Worse I have not been taking any supplements including the all-powerful standard vitamins and

I know it has been quite a while since you heard from me. Long story for another day.Today I want to pass along some information that is very important.This past December, the FDA put a document on its web site titled "Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration."

I have never been one to use much in the way of cosmetics - traditional stuff on your face. I have so many allergies to metal and fragrances that the most I ever used was a foundation and a little blush and of course lip stick. Nothing around the eyes or they would swell shut.When I quit my job as the business office manager of a local hospital and was "just a housewife" I stopped using any make

There is not much more I can add to this fable. Are you suffering from Skid Marks Disease?There once was a town called Allopath. It had many people, streets and cars, but due to budget limitations, there were no stop signs or traffic lights anywhere in Allopath. Not surprisingly, traffic accidents were common. Cars would crash into each other at nearly every intersection. But business was

Just reading about a woman who went to a dermatologist about a spot on her arm. It was dark in the middle and peeling around the edges. Scary. The dermatologist told her it was a dermatofibroma and would not require treatment. She was just to watch it and come back if it caused her any pain. He then did a general exam of skin spots. He pronounced that the freckles on her face were changing.

I have written several articles on Belly Fat. I think that people see belly fat in the mirror but do not see obesity as such. According to surveys we just don't accept that we are obese. We are overweight or fat or need to lose a few pounds. But that belly fat seems to be an acceptable thing to determine to lose. That is fine with me. If you can get yourself to lose the belly fat then the

We all know that in attacking the belly fat problem, step one is adjusting your diet. If you are like most people you have been concentrating on getting fewer carbs and fat. Ok, but there is one fat you must delete all together. Trans Fats, a modern invention that is killing you as well as making you fat. So you have been trying to avoid trans fats.

To me the Aloe Vera is a symbol of new life from the old. It is a promise that age and bad conditions do not have to kill but rather can just make stronger. It is an affirmation that when times are good, the good should be used to grow stronger knowing that there will follow a time of want and need. The Aloe Vera grows bigger each time it is used. I know that sharing and giving is the best
