If weight loss is high on your New Year’s resolution list, you may be tempted to use a diet pill. Unfortunately, most diet pills (also called weight-loss supplements) are money down the toilet. However, the FDA has a list of 25 pills that aren’t just a waste of money, but that also have some serious [...]

14 out of 1,000 McCullom Lake Village residents have brain cancer (the national average is 7.3 out of 100,000). The fact that a “coincidence” is even being considered by Rohm and Haas is disgusting. This is exactly how chemical companies have gotten away with causing injury and death to [...]
So happy that CBS is celebrating a bit of diversity; not only is there a Chanukkah Prostate exam to choose from, there’s also a Christmas one to wrap up and give to that special man in your life. Just remember, along with the milk and cookies you leave for santa, place a latex glove (size large) near the fireplace mantel.
Kris Carr, director and subject of the film, Crazy Sexy Cancer is challenging common beliefs about healing.
Much of American culture identifies healing as “survival”. This narrow focus of healing dominates medical research. If a drug extends life by 4 weeks, the drug is considered successful. Quality of life and side effects are often ignored. [...]
1. Don’t burn it.
That toasty holiday fire doesn’t need a dose of toxic fumes. Wrapping paper can be full of chemical dyes, foils and other materials that can create harmful fumes when burned (like dioxin).

*The ad reads: “Don’t die from embarrassment, Get [...]
The New York Times had a great article concerning M.R.I scans. If you’re dealing with knee or back pain, definitely take a look at the article. A few things to know about M.R.I.’s…
The more scans you have the more *problems* you will find.
Just because something isn’t “normal” does not mean it’s a problem. An M.R.I. is [...]
Playnormous is a great website full of interactive games that focus on nutritional and physical health topics. Best of all, they’re all free. Though I don’t agree with all of the content on the site (e.g. the “Nanoswarm” game brushes over nanotechnology like it’s an innocent miracle discovery– which is not the case– but that’s a discussion for another [...]
Last week, ABC World News did a special on the new spinal fusion technique, AxiaLIF. The surgery is less “invasive” than conventional fusion, but can only be performed on the lower part of the spine. Interestingly, the surgeon is not actually able to see the spine- instead, frequent X-rays inform the surgeon of his/her exact location. The ABC special bragged that this new [...]
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has a great fact sheet to make shopping for kid’s products like shampoo, bath gel, diaper cream and lotions quite a bit easier.
