It wasn’t an accidental lie either, it was intentional and was designed to deliberately mislead anybody reading that post. That’s a somewhat weird admission for somebody who prides himself on being as honest and open as possible with his readers. I’m a Life Coach and yet in the past I have admitted to being stressed senseless, earning less than $30k in a year and being bitten in the testicles by a doberman, so why would I lie now? I like the fact that I can be transparent with you because it means if you ever hire me to be your Life Coach you know pretty much what you’re getting. There isn’t a different me hidden away for home life and another for socializing and yet another for Life C...

Well, maybe the last two interest you. But chances are, you happened upon this story by Googling my name. Maybe I met you at a friend’s party, or perhaps on one of those dating websites that continue to prove I am a glutton for punishment. We may have already shared in a few drinks, some idle conversation, eye contact, a laugh or two, a hug, or maybe a little smooch goodbye. One of us may have remarked that we should get together again. It’s even possible that we have yet to go on date #1, and you’re just doing some preliminary research. I don’t blame you. To imag...

This is a dilemma that seniors may face. If the spouse has health problems that make leaving the house difficult, does the other spouse need to stay home all the time too? Or, if the spouse has lost interest in attending certain activities does this mean one must go alone? Is it OK to contact a platonic friend and extend an invitation to attend? Making this more complex is the issue that seniors who have chronic health problems may be safer to have companionship in case of a medical emergency, or any emergency, for that matter. With the challenges of health issues, whether difficulty walking due to osteoarthritis, or a history of cardiovascula...

Still, Washington Post Science and Medical Reporter David Brown has written a lengthy article that presents a good summary of the problem. From the story: This difficult truth, which has emerged over the past half-century, is leading the United States and the rest of the industrialized world into a new era of humankind. We are on a collision course between our wish to live longer, healthier lives and our capacity to pay for that wish. Whether we can somehow avoid the collision is perhaps the most important domestic issue of this century. From now on, health care costs will be up there with globalization, terrorism and climate change as a force shaping our world.So t...

We’d also open new revenue streams if we resolved conflicts in ethical areas.    Check out 5 common conflicts, that cause revenue streams to peter out … and hinder many firms’ long range performance goals. How so? Unconscious conflicts stomp out lasting financial success,  far more than most people realize. If you answer No to any of these questions… conflicts of interest  likely hold back your workplace:1. Would you showcase proven natural remedies … if your salary depended on distributing costly … but less effective drugs … for the same problem? 2. Would you market improved perf...

They are testing this new and experimental procedure in patients that continue to live with angina and severe heart disease despite all attempts of medicines and other treatments. Just how will the stem cells work? “The general idea is that by providing these cells of blood vessel origin, we hope to either generate new blood vessels from the growth of these implanted cells or stimulate the heart to regenerate new blood vessels from the cells that reside in it,” said study investigator Carl J. Pepine, M.D., chief of cardiovascular medicine at UF’s College of Medicine. “It’s not compl...

Additional studies should examine androgen and heavy metal mechanisms of action in ASDs, and future ASD treatment protocols should consider androgens and heavy metals.”That's the conclusion of a small, non-randomised, uncontrolled trial. My patient's medical history suggests he may suffer from Autistic/Autistic spectrum disorder too. It's hardly a sufficient base of evidence to warrant antiandrogen therapy in a child, is it? It looks horribly like something along the lines of "vaccines/mercury in vaccines makes your child autistic". That looks like a Daily Mail headline, oh dear.I've contacted the company that make Prostap to see if...
