During a dressage lesson, my beloved horse tripped, fell down, panicked, jumped up and launched me into a wall all in a matter of seconds.  I hit the wall so hard that when I landed, my lungs collapsed. As I floated outside of my body, I remember thinking, “Well this isn’t a bad way to go…” And then the universe dumped a cold bucket of reality on me with the horrifying thought of my kids living alone with my still-alcoholic-ex-husband. Thankfully, that’s all it took to yank me back into my pain-ridden body as my mind (and likely my mouth) screamed for morphine. HINDSIGHT IS 20/20 I can remember as clear as day how I wanted to cancel my lesson that morning. I was too tired and KNEW I should skip it.  ...

School is starting, parents are out shopping for their kids’ new clothes and school supplies already, and college students are preparing for their annual return to campus. What’s a person to do with the last few remaining weeks of summer? Well, I can’t tell you what to do or not to do, but I can offer these five tips for ending your summer well. Whether they work for you or not, you won’t know until you try them. But it’s a good bet that you be disappointed with the results if you only try. 1. Finish what you started.

Enter The Decision Tree: Taking Control of Your Health in the New Era of Personalized Medicine (Rodale 2010), something of a blueprint of patient liberation written by Thomas Goetz, executive editor of Wired magazine. It offers constructive narrative not only about the importance of the decisions we make but how to apply the concept of an old-fashioned decision tree in making those decisions.

Do we have to allow fear to enter our lives and our futures if we had close relatives, such as mothers or fathers, who suffered similar diseases? Most of us have been taught in college that your DNA is more or less set in bedrock and determines your future. I have a relative who has been obsessed for many years in finding health information on all our relatives, living and dead. At a family gathering she corners a relative or two and questions them about their health in minute detail.  I believe she does this out of sincere concern for the future health of her children and grandchildren but also out of fear for herself. Sadly, I often sense a feeling of hopelessness in her man...

Carry critical lessons from mistakes and you’ll soon become master of your own fiscal destiny. The opposite is also true.  People sink like torpedoes with drooping markets in lean times – because they fail to draw from rich pools of mental resources they already possess. It doesn't have to be that way. Research affirms how the human brain equips people with economic strategies for coping. It also yields innovative tools for productivity daily. Monetary keys that excavate neuron pathways beyond tensions that arise from fiscal failure.

The FDA has concerns that it can trigger dangerous cardiopulmonary reactions in some patients.The warning will advise that the Definity not be used on patients that suffer from conditions such as unstable angina, unstable cardiopulmonary disease or who have suffered acute heart attacks.A Bristol-Myers spokesman confirmed that the company was discussing updating the safety instruction with the FDA.Definity was approved for use by the FDA in July 2001.

Quite honestly, it never really made much sense to me that health care companies will fight you tooth and nail to cover smaller procedures, yet coverage is provided for more severe and complicated surgeries (in many cases, anyway). But, considering that the far more expensive major surgery could have been avoided in the first place if the smaller and less costly procedures were covered (and therefore taken care of by patients), it seems to only make sense that insurance companies are now beginning to reward healthy lifestyles. In a recent edition of the Los Angeles Times, several businesses were highlighted that are receiving extra "benefits" from their health insurance pr...
