Real Testimonials

One thing I love about the internet is the availability of so many real, first-person testimonials about any number of products. Sure, you have to weed through the falsified testimonials put out on product websites are written by ringers on sites like Amazon, but you can usually tell which reviews are for real.
When I bought […]

Low Energy Remedy

My energy level has been very low. I’m tired when I wake up in the morning. I am tired again by after lunch. I am sometimes so tired that I am dying inside waiting for my five-year-old to wind down enough to geo to bed at night.
I like coffee, but I went off of caffeine […]

Weight On My Mind

There was a time when I lived up north, a little south of Pittsburgh, when I found one of the rare doctors prescribing phen-phen. It worked, that’s for sure, but I hated the way I felt. I can completely understand the attraction of a medication that curbs your desire to eat so thoroughly, though. That’s […]

Insane Medical Costs

Holy cow, I am getting irritated with the price of my medical plan going up while the overall benefits go down. I was paying less last year and all I had to cover were my co-pays. Now, not only do I pay more monthly, I pay a co-pay plus at least 10%. Right now I […]

Is All Water the Same?

Bottled water seems to be as much as part of our society as the air we breath. You see people at the gym, kids at school, paparazzi photos of celebrities leaving drug rehabs, and little old ladies toting around plastic bottles of water with $1 minimum price tags.
I know there is a debate over whether […]

Natural Approach to Skin Care

A woman’s skin is one of her greatest treasures. Some people say it is her hair, but in all actuality, most women can cut off damaged hair and grow it back out into a healthy mane. Not so with your skin. You need to begin to care for your skin during your young and continue […]

Pet to Human Spread of MRSA

I’ve written numerous other articles on my other blogs about MRSA, the staph “super bug”. Here now is some new information about how the infection spreads.
One of the first reported transmissions between animal and human of MRSA is on the records. Apparently a German woman had been repeatedly battling the exact same strain of drug-resistant
Doctors […]

Fighting Cholesterol, Naturally

I have high cholesterol. Part of it is due to my weight gain after the birth of my daughter, but the rest of it is hereditary. I have a whole band of great-aunts who are both thin and sufferers of high cholesterol.
I know I need to get my cholesterol in line, but I am reluctant […]

Life After COBRA

While I am home with my daughter I pay for my health insurance via COBRA. That is a federal mandate that says that after my divorce I am entitled to up to 36 months to continue the health insurance plan I had while I was married. I just pay for it myself. After much research, […]
