Mourning Was Not Enough: A Pioneering Doctor’s Daughter Continues Her Father’s Life Work
William G. Crook, M.D., or “Dr. Billy” as his patients and staff called him, was known, respected and even loved throughout the country for his work as a world-renowned physician, author and pioneer in the area of women’s health. After his death in 2002, for Elizabeth, the eldest of Dr. Crook’s three daughters, mourning was not enough.

Vitamins: Customized VS. Custom-made

It makes sense to tailor your vitamins to your personal needs. But custom vitamin providers are not created equal. Most of them just custom package off-the-shelf vitamins that fit your general health profile. But there is one company that offers truly custom-made supplements. One Person Health provides health assessment tools and in-depth health and lifestyle reports that identify your unique nutritional needs. They design a formula for you that is yours and only yours.

They manufacture your supplements right from the raw ingredients that fill your vegi-capsules to your name on the label! A large list of available ingredients, including minerals, herbs and specialty items, manufacturing standards are strictly pharmaceutical-grade, exceeding industry standards for vitamin production.

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on SENSING, the third of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. It is through the senses--seeing, touching, smelling, hearing, tasting--that we come to know and enjoy the world. Our abilities to work, to feel pleasure, to communicate with others, and to impact the world are directly related to our abilities to appreciate and use our sensory input efficiently and creatively.

Simply Well
The philosophy of taking one day at a time is a healthy one. When you live in either the past or the future, you miss what is going on right in front of your nose. When you are going through hard times, the habit of living essentially in the present, one day at a time, can literally mean the difference between breakdown and sanity. In "Be Here Now" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., lists tips for ways to stay present.

Healthy Computing
Strong negative emotions, such as anger, resentment or jealousy, usually increase neck and shoulder tension and inhibit regeneration and healing. In "Body Sensations" Erik Peper, Ph.D. and Katherine Hughes Gibney suggest that you become aware of the sensations or lack of sensations in apart of your body. Notice the sensations without judgment. Appreciate what that body part has done for you. Repeat with other parts. Many people report that after practicing this they notice a significant decrease in discomfort.

Healthy Bookstore - Living With Feeling

"Living With Feeling: The Art of Emotional Expression" by Lucia Capacchione is a practical and sensitive guide to sharing our mind, body, and spirit with our own feelings. It is only through letting our emotions come forth and understanding them that we can further the process of self-acceptance and healing. The simple exercises outlined by Capacchione teach us to express pent-up anger by drumming, release hurt feelings by molding clay, and contact our inner child by writing with our non-dominant hand.

Healthy Alternatives
Physicians and healers of all forms and from all cultures have used hands-on manipulation throughout history as an integral part of health care practice. In "Massage Therapy and Bodywork: Healing Through Touch" William Collinge, M.P.H., Ph.D. provides an in-depth explanation of this form of healthcare.

Healthy Man Update
Few relationships last over the long term that are based on good sex alone, just as few endure without a decent sexual relationship. Stress and nutrition are important factors in sexual vitality. In "Nutritional Program for Sexual Vitality" Elson M. Haas, M.D. focuses on the dietary factors related to sexual function and vitality. He includes a chart identifying recommended vitamin and mineral supplements.

Echoes of Silence
We usually see only our own thoughts and feelings about what we imagine is happening superimposed on what actually is happening. To be able to discern the difference between what is real and what is imaginary, we must be free from patterns. In "If You See a New Paradigm, Kill It" Robert Rabbin presents the answer as going inward. Awareness is a direct seeing into the moment, without projection.

Music and Wellness
In "Music: Now More Than Ever" thoughts from Barry Bittman, M.D. remind us that ethereal music and lyrics empower us to carry on in uncertain times. For music enables us to reach deep within ourselves to a place where mourning, grieving, praying, supporting each other, standing tall and persevering begin.
