Diabetes: Bad gums make it worse

Parkinson's: Is it caused by a lack of sunshine?
Most Parkinson's disease sufferers are seriously depleted in levels of vitamin D, which we mainly get from the sun, researchers have discovered - so does this mean that you are more likely to develop the disease if you don't get out into the sun often enough?

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Eating
This week our journey focuses on EATING, the 4th of 12 keys to wellness in
the Wellness Inventory. Most Americans' eating patterns represent a public health crisis. If a new disease erupted that was one tenth as destructive as most people's diets, there would be a massive public outcry to find thecure. The way many people eat is the result of a lifestyle that glorifies immediate satisfaction and neglects the long-term consequences. View more
Simply Well - "Keep Friendship Alive" - John W. Travis, MD, MPH
People need people. And often they don't realize how great their need is
until some moment of great joy or deep sorrow. In "Keep Friendship Alive" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., explains why one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself is to cultivate vibrant friendships - the kind that will supply you with the genuine support everyone needs, friendships in which you can dare to reveal your feelings, act spontaneously, care, touch, and serve.

Healthy Computing- "Breathe Effortlessly" - Erik Peper, PhD
The moment most people begin keyboarding or mousing they increase their breathing rate. While working at the computer, adults' breathing rate increases by 30% to 18 breaths per minute, while the breathing rate of
young boys playing computer games increases by 68% to 25 breaths per minute. This rapid breathing often contributes to sub-clinical hyperventilation, increased neck and shoulder tension and general fatigue.
In "Breathe Effortlessly" Erik Peper, Ph.D. gives you tips to use breathing to relax.

Life in our modern day society seems to have brought, not only a flight of modern technology and anti-biotic resistant bacteria, but as well, a new form of "stress".

Understanding Homeopathy - "Homeopathic Medicines for Arthritis" - Dana Ullman, MPH
There is little that conventional medicine offers arthritis patients. The lucky ones get temporary relief along with drug side effects; the unlucky ones only get the side effects. Homeopathic medicine, on the other hand, is a natural pharmaceutical system that uses extremely small doses of substances from the plant, mineral, or animal kingdom to augment a person's own immune and defense system according to homeopathic expert Dana Ullman in "Homeopathic Medicines for Arthritis." Based on the "principle of similars," homeopathy uses substances which would actually cause, if given in large dose to experimental subjects, the similar symptoms that a sick person experiences.

The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First - Mark Hyman, MD
A hidden epidemic races around the globe - we can't see it or touch it, which makes it so dangerous. The invisible epidemic has led to the suffering of millions who spend billions on drugs, only to find they don't work. This is an epidemic of broken brains. "Broken brains" go by many names - depression, anxiety, memory loss, brain fog, attention deficit disorder, autism, and dementia, to name a few - and show up in radically different ways from person to person, making each seem like a separate problem. But the truth is that these "diagnoses" are all the result of a few basic problems with our biology. Pinpoint these biological problems, fix them, and let your body's natural healing intelligence take over to repair your brain. View more
