Natural Treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease – Exciting News

I just read a fascinating natural Alzheimer’s treatment article written by Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., and submitted to the Linking Alternative Medicine Group on LinkedIn by Dianne Maroney.
Niacinamide, which sounds creepy but is just vitamin B3, has been shown to have huge benefits in the treatment of Alzheimers. The study that was done on mice [...]

Nutritional Support for ADHD

So many school age kids are being diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. The result is very typically a prescription for a medication such as Ritalin. Many parents dread the notion of medicating their kids. One reason is that most of us have heard about (or know people who have directly experienced) the icky side effects of the [...]

Fretting About Cancer?

Okay, so maybe there’s a little nagging voice in your head that says: “You’d better improve your habits if you don’t want the big C.” Or perhaps there is a history of cancer in your family, and you figure it’s a Russian Roulette kind of thing– either your number will come up or it won’t. [...]

Supplements for Multiple Sclerosis?

There are many resources in the medical community and on the internet for evaluating symptoms as possible indicators of MS, such as Web MD and the National Institutes of Health Medline Plus resource. On these sites you will find a wide range of symptoms listed, including dizziness, fatigue, depression, loss of balance, tremors, weakness, and vertigo. Because [...]

Resources for Managing Asthma

Asthma sufferers, did you know that what you eat can make a real difference in your daily experience with this condition?
One of my favorite sites, the World’s Healthiest Foods site, has a great little section devoted to the effects of foods on asthma.
Supplementation can make an enormous difference too. OPC-3, a super-antioxidant, is known for [...]

Good Eats

I liked Dr. Coop’s “Eating Clean” entry on “Salad is NOT an Entree.” (Although I often have salad as a main course; you just need to add some protein and voila! Entree!) I always applaud people who take their health in their own hands by improving their daily eating habits. It’s really what you do every day [...]

Seasonal Moodiness and/or Depression

Jenny Jean wrote an interesting post in her blog “Chocolate Soup” about emerging from a period of low mood and feeling happy again. Maybe it’s because the days are beginning to get longer, at last, and spring is on the horizon. I’ve been feeling more upbeat too. While I’ve never been diagnosed with Seasonal Affective [...]

The Case for High Quality Supplementation

Everyone has a stand on supplementation, whether or not they speak up about it. Some people don’t trust supplements, don’t like to take them, or don’t think about it. Other people wouldn’t start their day without them. And I’m sure we’ve all heard people say, “I don’t take supplements. I eat well, so I get [...]

Why Weight Matters

One of my favorite publications is this cool little magazine published by Center for Science in the Public Interest (www.cspinet.org). It’s called the Nutrition Action Health Letter. My fabulous health-minded mother-in-law (85 and still leading an exercise class for seniors) buys me a subscription every year for Christmas, the dear heart! Anyway, the NAHL is [...]

First Entry

Okay, here we go. I’m launching my blog. I’ll be on a learning curve for awhile, I’m sure. Meanwhile, here is a list of some of my current interests:

- How your genetic make-up affects your health, and how you can change it with lifestyle choices
- What you should do and what you should eat if [...]
