Senna: The True Ex-Lax
Constipation is one of those not-so-exciting subjects that affects both children and adults from time to time, but because it is so common, it warrants a closer look. Bowel movements tend to occur about once a day after children have reached the age where their diet is largely comprised of solid food. Starchy foods, such as bananas, rice, grains, and flour, tend to make stools firmer. Foods high in fiber like peaches, plums, and apricots have more of a softening effect. In a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, a balance is struck between different foods to create stools that are soft enough to pass comfortably without bein...

Zeitgebers & the Circadian Rhythm: Working With Environmental Cues to Encourage Healthy Sleep Habits
Many parents spend countless nights on exploratory journeys, devising ways to convince their children that sleep is a good idea. In nature, animals fall asleep naturally and easily. Their bodies respond to the environmental cues around them, such as the shift in temperature and change in light, that signal to their bodies that it’s time to rest. Until recently, the same has been true for humans as well. It’s easy to forget that the industrial revolution, the dawn of modern life as we know it, wasn’t really that long ago. Even in 1925, less than 100 years ago, only half of homes in the U.S. had electricity. Our bodies...

COVID-19 Deaths and Incredible WHO Estimates
Alan Reynolds“Death Toll Hits 9 as Outbreak Spreads, ” was the scaryWall Street Journalheadline in print before it was toned downonline. COVID-19 deaths at a nursing home and hospital in Washington state were unrelated to the virusspreading“across the U.S.” The facts tell us much more about the exceptionally high risks of fatal infection from COVID-19 (or pneumonia or flu) among elderly people living close together in nursing homes or hospitals, many of them already sick.The ongoing COPD-19 outbreak in Kirkland Washington at the Life Care nursing home and Evergreen hospital represents high ‐​risk...

Coronavirus & the Panic Pandemic
Coronavirus or COVID-19 There are two things to keep in mind when considering the possible implications of any virus. One is the damage the virus itself can cause to a bodily system. The other is the secondary reaction, or the way the body responds in trying to destroy or eject the virus. Such symptoms may include coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and the like. Often, this immune response may be more disruptive than the disease itself, causing pain and discomfort as the body tries to rid itself of illness. In rare and unlikely cases, the body’s reaction may be so severe that death occurs.  Social Immune Response...

The Misleading Arithmetic of COVID-19 Death Rates
Alan ReynoldsAssuming the number of people who have reportedly died from COVID-19 is reasonably accurate, then the percentage of infected people who die from the disease (the death rate) must surely have beenmuch lower than the 2 –3% estimates commonly reported. That is because the number of infected people is much larger than the number tested and reported.The triangle graph, from a  February 10 study fromImperial College London, shows that most people infected by COVID-19 are never counted as being infected. That is because, the Imperial College study explains, “the bottom of the pyramid represents the likely larges...

 It Just Won’t Go Away: Reasons For a Lingering Cough
We’re used to coughing when we have a cold, but what about those coughs that seem to linger even after all other symptoms have disappeared? It turns out that what may seem like a nuisance can actually be the body’s innate intelligence at work. At the first sign of foreign invaders, coughing acts as a primary line of defense, expelling whatever virus or bacteria is trying to make its way into the system. During this time it’s especially helpful when coughing to cover your mouth, with your inner elbow if possible, to prevent the spread of illness. However, there may be other reasons for a cough that hangs on after a co...

Neophobia & the Battle to Try New Foods
Perhaps you have a picky eater at home. Maybe she takes after mom or dad, or maybe this is a quality uniquely her own. Whatever the case, it’s important to recognize that we can change our perception around this. Being particular about foods is indeed a feature and not a flaw. Neophobia Timing Around the time children become comfortable with walking, about 15 months or so, an innate evolutionary tool kicks in to help keep these small, but mobile, young beings safe. Neophobia, or fear of the new or unknown, is a stage in which children are naturally resistant to new things. When humans and their predecessors lived in cave...

Nesting Syndrome: 10 Signs You ’ve Become Too Comfortable at Work
Are you a victim of “nesting syndrome”? I coined this phrase to depict our unconscious — and sometimes conscious — refusal to leave the comfortable circumstances we’ve created for ourselves. When we refuse to leave the nest, we stop looking for improvements and resist challenges from others. We feel as if we’ve “made it” and earned our position, so why rock the boat? Sure, I can hear you thinking, “This doesn’t apply to me.” But nesting syndrome manifests in surprising ways, even among the most proficient of leaders. Do any of these apply to you? The unconscious competency trap. We perform o...

7 Expert Tips for Adapting to Life ’s Curveballs
Life throws us curveballs all the time—and sometimes, all in one day. These curveballs might be relatively minor: a work project doesn’t go your way, your colleague makes a hurtful remark, your car won’t start, you get sick before a big presentation, your kids won’t sleep. Or these curveballs might be major and (initially) seem insurmountable: You don’t get into your first-choice school. You don’t get the promotion. You lose your job. Your relationship ends. You need surgery. Big or small, these situations might lead you to feel very overwhelmed—and frustrated. So, you stew and wallow. You vent and complain. ...

Domain Specific AI in Healthcare: An Ethical Perspective
What is Artificial Intelligence? This central question has captivated the minds of specialists – mathematicians, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, and the like – and passive observers since the days of Alan Turing and John von Neumann. In this discussion I will distinguish between three types of Artificial Intelligence – human level, superhuman, and domain specific. Through this exercise I hope to shed light on the difficulties in conceptually defining the term Artificial Intelligence, as well as dispel misconceptions about the state of the art in Artificial Intelligence. To what end? I hope that...

Ear Infections and the Antibiotic Epidemic
Ear infections appear so common that at times they seem almost like a childhood rite of passage. Often associated with redness, swelling, and pain within the ear, they are the number one reason antibiotics are prescribed for children. However, we’re finding more and more that the prolific prescription of antibiotics is not the panacea it was once thought to be. Not only do antibiotics disrupt healthy digestion, but overuse can even lead to resistance. The Results of the Antibiotic Epidemic Multiple studies have demonstrated that antibiotic resistance is on the rise, mainly due to the fact that they have been over-prescri...

Simon Johnson Claims the Warren Health Plan is a Gift to U.S. Businesses
Alan ReynoldsAn advisor to the Warren campaign,Simon Johnson of MIT, has written an impressively fact-freeWall Street Journalarticle claiming Senator Warren's "remedy for health care costs" would be a wonderful gift to American businesses."Americans currently spend nearly 18% of gross domestic product on healthcare. . . and a great deal of this burden falls directly on companies." He claims "this dead weight gets heavier each year" and "companies cannot by themselves easily constrain health-insurance premiums." The impression is that businesses shoulder a large and rising share of total spending on health care. And unlike ...

Seizing the Opportunity in America ’ s Opioid Crisis
“Perhaps everything that is terrible is, in the deepest sense, something that wants our love.” – Rilke The overdose epidemic in the U.S. has been called “the greatest public health crisis of our time.” It’s also our greatest opportunity. The opioid crisis is an identity crisis: it’s a challenge to how we see ourselves. Do we truly believe that we are all in this together? One answer leads us deeper into despair. The other, into a hopeful future. It’s been said that “doing more things faster is no substitute for doing the right things.” What are the “right things,” the measures that can r...
