What Doctors Don't Tell You - "Lyme Disease: a Leaky Brain"
Lyme disease is still barely recognized by orthodox medicine, but new, explosive evidence links this worldwide epidemic with certain types of mental illness, including autism. The number of diagnosed cases of Lyme disease are now rising - and not just because doctors are finally beginning to recognize it, but also possibly as a result of global warming.

Integrator Blog - More Care in Group Settings May be Key to Transformation of Medicine
We've all been acculturated to a belief that our health care is best performed one-to-one, with a clinician. But does this assumption need review as we think of transforming our medical system? Mounting evidence - not to mention core educational value - suggest that delivering care to groups may be valuable not just for support but as the basis for successful, preventively-oriented clinical interventions. Kjersten Gmeiner, MD, a board member of the American Holistic Medical Association, believes that the use of groups is deeply aligned with the values in integrative care.

Chef Teton's Essential Cuisine: Making Every Bite Count - "Flax Oil: Eat Like the Roman and Exhibit Strength, Stamina, Mental Clarity and Beauty!"
To many, the aroma of freshly-baked bread is so pleasant that it's almost intoxicating! According to historical record, soldiers of the Roman Empire marched with rations of bread baked with flaxseed meal and flax seed oil 9000 years ago. Flax may be responsible for why the Romans were so successful in their conquests. One major reason why is that the type of fat consumed is linked with your state of mind. View More

Echoes of Silence - Robert Rabbin
One does not come to insight and wisdom through reason and information. In "Gorging on Inspiration" Robert Rabbin states that the soul needs to feast-on inspiration. To know what must be known about ourselves, we must catapult from all that is reasonable. Let the silence that we are create a cataclysm of clarity in our lives. Let our doubts and confusion meet this living wholeness. Let our rage and torment meet this living wholeness. Let our efforts to bring peace into our lives and into the world meet this living wholeness, the sacred Self of all whose name is love, creator of the universe.
