Barb Kaiser — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:32:35 -0500

I have been doing some on line reading for a friend about cancer treatments and ran across this on- line book.

Are you Magnesium Deficient? Probably Yes!

Barb Kaiser — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:14:29 -0500

Magnesium? Yes... you have heard of it, but if it were that important wouldn't your doctor be telling you about it? Well, unfortunately, no. Transdermal Magnesium Therapy by Marc Sircus, Ac. OMD, is a great read to explain why you need magnesium, why you are not hearing much about it, and explains one of the easiest and most effective methods to replace the magnesium you lose everyday. Magnesium is necessary to carry out over 300 enzymatic reactions/day in your body.

Six years ago when my husband moved to Austin to enter a dermatology practice, I stayed behind in College Station to sell our house and would see him only on weekends. I remember one night when he came through the door he looked at me in a way I hadn't noticed ...

I love this idea. If I was sure everyone would wash their hands and didn't have a concern about exposure to light and air degrading the supplements I might do it. In the meantime I strongly agree with the writer's sentiments.

I know of 3 people recently who have come down with pneumonia. Being low in Vitamin C increases ones risk for contracting pneumonia, so it makes a lot of sense to take higher than normal doses of vitamin C when you have pneumonia. The recommendation for the average healthy adult ...

Two Great Health Secrets

Barb Kaiser — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:37:26 -0600

Two great things you can do for your health are: 1) become part of something bigger than yourself 2) help someone else. These are not suggestions you will generally hear from your doctor Many of you come to this site looking for answers to help your health & that is great.

Vitamin Deaths Can't Compete With Medication Deaths

Barb Kaiser — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:21:43 -0500

With all the bad press that supplements still get ( amazing!) in the news media and within the "hallowed halls" of medicine, I thought I would pass this along. What's even more remarkable is that those who would attack the safety and efficacy of supplements often hand out medication with little regard to the statistics that show that properly and improperly prescribed medication is still the fourth leading cause of death in America! I gotta ask, do these guys live under a rock?

Is EFT Just the PLacebo Effect?

Barb Kaiser — Wed, 06 May 2009 18:26:26 -0500

Trying EFT for the first time seemed like and exercise in the ridiculous & I guess it would be if it didn't help my problem. The moment I finished tapping through the protocol, I felt nothing different. I still felt the same anger I had fumed over for the last 5 hours, 3 of that on a long walk. But then...

Health Insurance? Bah-Humbug!

Barb Kaiser — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 17:50:24 -0500

Wouldn't you think that a health insurance company would want its clients to stay healthy? So why won't they pay for 2 tests that have been shown to help you and your doctor determine your risk and thus help you lower that risk for and possibly prevent cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis? Wouldn't this help everyone's bottom dollar...except the drug industry?

Do Vitamins Work or Don't They?

Barb Kaiser — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 16:04:33 -0600

Even to day I hear folks question or, worse, quote some "source" that states that vitamins do no good... they just make expensive urine. Many studies show that they do indeed make a difference, but unfortunately there is still an extreme bias in reporting that they do not.

Half-Baked Corn Industry/HFCS

Barb Kaiser — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:33:05 -0500

This ad really ticks me off. It is deliberately designed to mislead.. I guess that is nothing new in the advertising world.

How to Stop Nausea & Vomiting

Barb Kaiser — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:08:03 -0500
A dear friend called me the other night because her daughter was writhing in pain with nausea and vomiting. What could she do for her daughter, she wanted to know? There is nothing worse than standing by helplessly while our child suffers. I went through a very similar thing with my 20 year old recently and believe me, it doesn't get any easier the older they get.
