Food Sensitivity and Intolerance Testing Changed Their Lives
Susan was tired; tired of feeling foggy, bloated and unable to lose weight. Her thyroid levels were out of whack and she felt awful. Having just recently passed her 50th birthday, she assumed that this was what it meant to be a woman of a “certain age”: A little heavier and slower than she would have liked, not quite as sharp, and generally, just feeling old.
It wasn’t until she watched other people coming into a lab that she co-owns and heard them talk about food intolerances did she consider that food might be causing her problems, not her age. Changes to their diets, made after food intolerance testing, se...

The 2014 budget and the Indian healthcare industry
The healthcare industry was very hopeful that the 2014 budget would provide lots of incentives for health care service providers. There was a lot of buzz that the government would place a lot of stress on education and healthcare; and that they would make universal healthcare a reality for all Indians.Unfortunately , none of that has come to pass, and hospitals, doctors and patients are quite disappointed. The only sweetener is the fact that healthcare checkups ( upto a cost of Rs 5000 ) have been made tax exempt. This is actually a regressive step ! It will only encourage people to get health checkups done. However, a lot...

Should Infant Formula Be Sweetened: Mother (Nature) Knows Best
Breast milk is a marvelous, complex whole food, perfect for growing babies. The composition of breast milk varies from month to month, from day to day, and even within a single feeding. But whenever it’s sampled, breast milk is also pretty sweet.
On average, there are about 10g of lactose (milk sugar) in every 100 calories of breast milk.[i] Lactose is the ideal sugar for baby humans and other baby animals. It fuels their growth – and also the growth of beneficial bacteria (lactobacilli) in their guts. Lactose also helps in the digestion of important minerals such as iron and zinc.
Each molecule of lactose is made up o...

‘The Empathy Exams,’ by Leslie Jamison - NYTimes.com
Regarding the pain of others requires more than just a pair of eyes. It necessitates an act of the imagination: a willingness to think or feel oneself into the interior of another's experience, to cross between what Susan Sontag once designated as the kingdoms of the sick and of the well. This kind of empathetic border crossing can be both difficult and dangerous, the sort of journey of which one might say: "I get across quickly because I'm headed in the right direction, by which I mean the wrong direction. I'm going where no one wants to stay."This statement, actually describing a trip i...

Smoking Is Over If You Want It
Happy World No Tobacco Day It’s one of the annual days of note concocted by the World Health Organization (WHO). The motive is undeniably noble, and the goofy negative title makes it a favorite of mine: Saturday, May 31, is the annual World No Tobacco Day. This year, WHO and its partner organizations around the world are focusing on the economics of the global tobacco trade by urging nations to raise taxes on tobacco products. Raising taxes has two potential effects: It drives down consumption and it provides revenue for government health spending on tobacco-related illness and prevention. This latter concern will only g...

Nutty Raisin Crunch Bars
Rich and crunchy, these bars are substantial enough to serve as a meal by themselves, as well as a healthy, filling snack.
The recipe yields a carbohydrate exposure of around 10 grams “net”carbs per bar. (“Net”carbs = total carbs –fiber, a value that only includes digestible carbohydrates.) If you would like to limit carbohydrates to a lower level, reduce or eliminate the raisins; leaving them out cuts the net carb exposure by half.
Nutty Raisin Crunch Bars Print Author: Dr. William Davis Serves: 12 Ingredients 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon ¼ cup coconut oil, me...
