Continuing our Wellness Journey - Feeling
This week our journey focuses on Feeling, the 6th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. We experience feelings and emotions from well before the event of our birth. They can be intense, or frightening, or wonderful. They can also be the most misunderstood, and consequently mistreated, gifts we have as human beings. We judge them, repress them, discount them, drug them, worship them, and run from them. Yet, what a bore to be without them! Life fully lived is life filled with feeling! View more

Integrative Dentistry - "Mercury Dental Fillings: Hazard Or Hoax" - Flora Parsa Stay, DDS
On a daily basis thousands of individuals have mercury and silver inserted into their teeth by American dentists. There are claims that mercury is hazardous causing a variety of illnesses including brain damage, birth defects, multiple sclerosis, memory loss, chronic fatigue and allergies. On the other hand the American Dental Association maintains that mercury amalgam fillings are safe and it is unethical for a dentist to suggest or recommend the removal of amalgam restorations for the alleged purpose of removing toxic substance from the body. In "Mercury Dental Fillings: Hazard Or Hoax" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. explains under what circumstances mercury can be toxic, and offers guidelines for evaluating your own exposure.

Integrator Blog - Obama's Comments on Acupuncture and Complementary and Alternative Medicine: A Link to Prevention
So what does the youthful new president of the United States of American think about complementary and alternative medicine? Despite very positive comments about the importance of prevention, we've seen nothing on this topic from Barack Obama other than a campaign-era letter of support for chiropractic. Thanks to a questioner in a public forum last month, we now have more of an answer. Here is the transcript of those comments, in full. The short answer: Obama wouldn't mind a massage, thinks science has shown some value in acupuncture, and links this subject with his administration's efforts to promote a prevention orientation via healthcare reform. Obama is articulate about the resistance to prevention orientation in both the political and healthcare arenas. It's a rich exchange involving science, prevention and politics, mixed in with a little humor. View more

Empowered (Wake Up... Live the Life You Love series) - Wayne Dyer, Reverend Michael Beckwith, et al.
People destined for success can still escape their destiny. The process is not difficult, and the tragedy is not rare. All the elements are in place, yet they cannot live to their fullest potential. The secret is to live in the now. It is not enough to be alive; we must live in the present moment, or hopes and dreams may never materialize. Living "in the now" means more than getting up every day to push back the curtains of possibility. It means, also, that we realize and appreciate everything in our lives, so that life becomes more real, more precious, and more rewarding. "Feel the water on your hands while you are doing dishes," says Steven E. "Feel the wind on your face. Stop to look at the faces of your children while they play; concentrate on their joy and their energy. That's the now; that's what is real, and that's where life takes place."
