  • The Family Bed: A Story in Generations

    If I had been born at home, surely it would have been into a family bed. As it was, my parents brought me home from the hospital, where I was promptly given a place aside my mother in the bed which slept us all: mom, dad, my brother and I. I nursed until I was nearly four, when the arrival of a younger sibling forced shared privileges. I was not, as a rule, thrilled with anything that wasn’t mine alone and so gave up the breast and my place between my parents for slightly more independence on the outskirts of our small country. I slept on the edge (had my parents been a bit more intuitive, ...

  • The Scientific Breakthrough That Allows Every Couple To Choose The Gender Of Their Baby

    The advances in science over the past century have been breath-taking. We’ve seen man stroll casually on the moon, watched in awe as scientists cloned and brought a sheep to life using nothing more than a few strands of microscopic DNA and we witnessed some stunning improvements in the fields of medicine and care – for example, Viagra to some has been the discovery of a lifetime.

    Now, it seems, the latest scientifically backed research actually allows a couple to safely and naturally choose the gender of their baby with up to 98% accuracy. The implications of this research are huge an ...

  • Do you have Eczema or Dermatitis?
    Copyright 2005 Michael Brooks

    Although many people believe that eczema and dermatitis are separate conditions, they are actually one and the same. The most common form of this skin condition is atopic eczema. Depending on what study you read, there are between 18 and 34 million people that exhibit symptoms of eczema. Atopic eczema is often genetic and can be associated with a family history of environmental sensitivities and allergic conditions like asthma or hay fever.

    What are the symptoms?

    One of the most common symptoms associated with eczema is extreme itchiness. Spea ...

    Genetic Testing Still Smart Choice
    Screening embryos for genetic diseases during in vitro fertilization offers couples the best chance for a healthy child, but a genetic glitch could potentially cause doctors to misdiagnose a small fraction of them, University of Florida scientists say. Citing concerns about the accuracy of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, the method a number of practitioners use to pick the healthiest embryos during IVF, UF scientists set out to study the procedure. Their work, described during a recent meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, reveals the technique is actually highly reliable. But because there is a slim chance a genetic abnormality can cause doctors to misdiagnose embryos, some concerns still need to be addressed, the scientists said.......

  • The Great Awakening--Menopause
    The Great Awakening--Menopause
    By: Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHP

    Menopause is a natural transition all women experience, as natural as adolescence. For your grandmother and great-grandmother, life expectancy was shorter. Reaching menopause often meant that their life was nearing an end. But this is no longer true. Today women are living longer—on average, until age 78. How you experience menopause is determined by many factors: attitude, diet, overall health, genetics, and your cultural group. Medical science views menopause as the state of your body after you had completed one f ...

  • Acne Treatment: 7 Things You Must Know!
    Let me ask you this...

    Are you suffering from acne?

    Do you know what is causing it and is there any effective acne treatment?

    Studies show that an estimated 80 % percent of people experience acne at some point. No one knows exactly what the cause of acne is, but there are a few theories.

    Let´s take a look at 7 of them:

    1. Acne normally begins between the ages of eleven and thirteen.

    This is true in both males and females due to changes in hormone levels. These hormones, called androgens, will enlarge the facial glands.

    The oil produced by the glands is known as sebum. The ...

    - the affliction known as cellulite. We all have it to varying degrees,
