Meditation is a powerful technique that we can use to benefit our health. However, there is a lot of well-meaning but misguided fluff attached to the whole subject. I thought it would be useful to separate the fluff from the substance with this subject to help you decide whether meditation is right or useful to […]
A little over a hundred years ago a hormone was isolated from the brain that was found to cause contractions of the uterus for promoting the birthing process. Because of this function it was given the name oxytocin, from the Greek for “swift childbirth.” About 50 years later a way was found to synthesize this […]
Allergies and sensitivities are amazingly common and yet from a medical viewpoint so little is known about why we get them. There is a very clear understanding of what happens during the allergic response on a cellular level, but why it happens seems to be a question no one is asking. Why would your immune […]
One of the more common complaints my patients have is stomach issues. Most everyone can relate to heartburn. It feels like a sharp burning feeling right in the chest around the heart area.
