If you suspect you have chronic inflammation anywhere in your body, talk with your doctor about a blood test that measures the levels of a particular protein called C-reactive protein (CRP).

Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing
We all have a choice about our health. In "Step One of Intuitive Healing: Notice Your Beliefs" Judith Orloff, M.D. reminds us that our mind and body are linked by an intricate intuitive circuitry. Notice the pattern of any recurring beliefs or emotions that occur before an illness. They may well be premonitions. We need to be aware of our thinking, notice when fear takes over, and begin to reprogram our thoughts.

Mind Over Matter
"Healing" means "to make sound or whole, or to restore to health." It also
refers to causing an undesirable condition to be overcome. In the context of mind-body medicine, what affects the mind clearly and indistinguishably affects the body and visa versa. In "Healing: An Individual Perspective" Barry Bittman, M.D. points out our tendency to ignore what is really bothering us. He urges us to better deal with the issues that stress us. Take time to stop and contemplate the way we really feel. Get in touch with our feelings. Ask ourselves whether it's the issue or our perspective that's causing us pain.
