A wonderful story of how Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey helped their son, Evan ‘recover’ from Autism. Here’s a few quotes I find interesting in the article:
After we implemented these therapies for one year, the state re-evaluated Evan for further services. They spent five minutes with Evan and said, “What happened? We’ve never seen [...]

The big problem that I have with the 8×8 recommendation is that it is WAY to general of a guideline to cover everyone. This guideline is supposed to work for the 125lb person as well as the 250lb person. That just doesn’t make sense. We talked about this a bit when I was in massage [...]

It often amazes me how long it takes researchers to figure out that everything in the body is connected. It now appears that when Botox is injected into your forehead, it can travel along the nerve pathways and end up in the brainstem.

This short article is a ‘must read’ to get an idea of what goes on behind the scenes with drug reps.

Included in his prepared remarks, Ahari cites a quote from a senior marketing executive at Parke-Davis: “I want you out there every day selling Neurotonin. Neurotonin is more profitable [...]

To understand a bit more about CranioSacral Therapy and how it works, one needs to know about the craniosacral system itself. This is a very general overview of the system. I could get much deeper into the specifics (and probably will at some point) but here I just want you to know some of the [...]

Just found this great site and signed up for the 14-day free trial. I’ll keep you posted about how it goes. Today’s games were fun and interesting. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.

I have never liked the idea of getting flu shots. I have never received one and really don’t plan on ever getting one.

As I continue to learn and grow as a health care practitioner, I stumble across similar information over and over again: ‘If it ain’t natural, don’t eat it!’
