Epsom Salts Baths: A natural and effective muscle relaxant
In nature, there are some biological processes that are almost unstoppable. Once the process is started it creates a cascade of reactions and, like a freight train barreling down the track, stopping it takes an immense amount of effort.
One of the most classic of these, and perhaps the strongest in human biology, is labor. Once the signals arrive for labor to happen, they build on each other and become relentless. When the contractions start, those strong uterine contractions get stronger and stronger and build and come closer together. There are very few things that can stop contractions. But there are some very powerful ...

Teen Vaping: “I Did Not Have Sexual Relations with That Woman”
By some reports, as many as 20 percent of high school students vape. And they often begin in middle school.
Juul is the top-selling e-cigarette brand (and very cuul among kids). A single Juul pod can contain as much nicotine as a pack of 20 regular cigarettes. Nicotine harms the developing adolescent brain. Moreover, e-cigarette aerosol is not harmless water vapor. It’s a chemical cocktail that’s inhaled deep into the delicate lungs. We don’t yet know the long-term effects.
The Tip of the Teen Vaping Iceberg
CDC is in the process of investigating multiple cases of severe pulmonary disease in people who use e-cigarett...

“I Did Not Have Sexual Relations with That Woman”
Recently, I sat across from an accomplished high school athlete who had just told me that he did not smoke and had not used any drugs. But when I asked directly about whether he vaped he openly said, “Of course!” He went on to explain that vaping isn’t smoking, isn’t unhealthy, and that THC is natural, not a drug.

Google Said to Be Seeking Data and B-to-B Relationships with Fitbit Purchase
I have been blogging recently about the rationale for the recent Google purchase of Fitbit (see:Google to acquire Fitbit, valuing the smartwatch maker at about $2.1 billion). At first glance, it's somewhat unusual because Google is primarily known for software and not hardware. On the other hand, the huge wellness and fitness market is an attractive target. A recent article speculated on the"real reason" for the purchase (see:The Real Reason Google Is Buying Fitbit) and below is an excerpt from the article:Google already has plenty of hardware and software chops. What else does it get out of the Fitbit ...

Eppie
I ' ve considered writing about Jeffrey Epstein for a long time, but I kept expecting more information about the sordid case to be forthcoming from the Southern District of New York. So far however we have seen no additional indictments or any investigative report. This surprises many people because there are strong indications that there is ample basis for additional indictments, despite Epstein ' s death. I ' ll get to that.I don ' t have any information to add to what is publicly known, obviously, but many people don ' t fully understand the story and the mysteries connected with it, so I figured I ' d provide a summary...

Cato's 37th Annual Monetary Conference: A Shadow Review of Fed Policy
James A. DornImproving the Monetary SystemSince 1983, the Cato Institute ’s Annual Monetary Conference has brought together leading scholars and policymakers to discuss important issues in the conduct of monetary policy and steps that might be taken to improve the existing system. The conferences have also considered ideas for more fundamental reform by examining alter natives to a discretionary government fiat money regime.[1]Karl Brunner, who participated in the first conference —The Search for Stable Money—in January 1983, was deeply concerned about the institutional uncertainty created by a lack of a transparent ...

Why the Fed Needs a Monetary Rule to Protect Its Independence
As the 2020 presidential election season heats up, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is being pushed from all sides.President Trump has castigated him for overly tight monetary policy and has implied that Powell is a “bigger enemy” than Xi Jinping. Meanwhile,William Dudley, who recently headed the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the most important reserve bank in the system, boldly called for Powell to enter the political fray against Trump and use a tighter monetary policy to help defeat him in 2020.We ’ve seen this pattern before—only this time, it’s more extreme. President Trump, like many executives ...

There are two of us in this …
Today’s post is another one where there’s very little to guide my thinking… Have you ever wondered why we read so much research looking at the characteristics of the people who look for help with their pain – yet not nearly as much about us, the people who do the helping?
There are studies about us – thanks Ben – and others! (Darlow, Dowell, Baxter, Mathieson, Perr & Dean, 2013; Farin, Gramm & Schmidt, 2013; Parsons, Harding, Breen, Foster, Pincus, Vogel & Underwood, 2007). We know some things are helpful for people with pain: things like listening capabilities (Matthias, ...

Are Essential Oils Essential?
When it comes to food, the colors you see in plants provide powerful information. They often signal the rich nutrient density of the plant. When you look at a blueberry and see that color, you see delphinidin-3-galactoside. When you look at a carrot and see that color, you see beta carotene. Our eyes are adapted to notice the critical nutrients in food. The flavor molecules that we taste and seek after in plants are often important molecules for our health. That’s why our tongue is adapted to taste them.
The color in food can also be a sign that the plant is dangerous, like a poisonous berry. It’s meant to alert us...
