The Depression-Inflammation Connection - Andrew Weil, MD
The dramatic rise in depression diagnoses over the last two decades is a great challenge to modern medicine. I believe that part of the "depression epidemic" is false -- a creation of aggressive disease-mongering by pharmaceutical companies to promote antidepressant sales. However, it's equally clear that within that trend, there has been a real rise in depression rates.

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Moving
This week our journey focuses on Moving, the 5th of 12 keys to wellness in
the Wellness Inventory. Everything in us is moving. The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate. To be alive is to be moving. Inhibit the movement and you create illness. Stop movement and you are dead. Allow it fully and you realize wellness. Because of this movement, everything is changing from moment to moment. To block movement therefore is to block change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life. View more

Healthy Hair - "Vital Beauty from Mother Nature" - Linda Kammins
I would like to address the significance of using healthy beauty lubricants from Mother Nature. We have all heard of the importance of eating healthy fats to keep our bodies functioning well, however we do not hear much about the fundamental use of healthy fats for our scalp and hair. We are exposed to a modern world of convenience using toxic chemicals in our high performance beauty products. The pores of the skin are like sponges: whatever you put on your body eventually ends up inside the body. Fresh plant oils containing supplementary essential fatty acids are best for the scalp and hair.

"Floating a Concept on 'Indexing' – The Proteinomic Index and Meat" - John Whitcomb, MD
This idea is NOT out there so I am asking you to think of a conceptual idea that I believe is coming and explains a lot as to why vegetarian type diets differ from animal diets. I want to understand why Dr Esselstyn is having success with completely reversing heart disease, and why Bill Clinton is going to see Dr. Esselstyn to reverse his coronoary artery disease.

Eco Dentistry - "Turn off the Tap!" - Fred Pockrass, DDS
Did you know the average person wastes approximately 90 glasses of water every day by leaving the tap running while they brush their teeth? That means in the United States alone, we’re literally pouring down the drain as much as 27 billion glasses of clean, drinkable water every day, just brushing our teeth. View more
Integrator Blog - "Forum #2 on the American Board of Integrative Medicine: Quinn, Redwood, Gmeiner, Anderson, and Manahan"
The discussion of the origins, intentions and ramifications of the move to create a formal integrative medicine specialty through the American Board of Integrative Medicine (ABIM) produced 5 additional, especially thoughtful responses. These had a chance to first read the forum of 20 voices. These five are: former Integrated Healthcare Policy Consortium chair Sheila Quinn; Daniel Redwood, DC, Cleveland College of Chiropractic faculty member and writer on policy issues; past American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA) board member Kjersten Gmeiner, MD; AHMA founder and past American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine (ABIHM) executive director Robert Anderson, MD; and ABIHM co-founder Bill Manahan, MD. These provide balanced, watchful, mainly supportive comments and advice to the founding ABIM board members. Can the ABIM demonstrate that they are not like all the others? View more

Mind-Body Health - "Rx Imagery: How to Use Your Imagination to Improve Your Health" - David Sobel, MD
Your brain often cannot distinguish whether you are imagining something or actually experiencing it. In "Rx Imagery: How to Use Your Imagination to Improve Your Health" David S. Sobel, M.D. reminds us that we can learn to use the power of our imagination to produce calming, energizing, or healing
responses in our body. View more
Mind/Body Health - "Halting Time Pressure" - David Sobel, MD
Time pressure can have powerful effects on the body. Our brain regards clocks, deadlines, and interrupted schedules as a threat, and calls up the "fight or flight" stress response, notes David Sobel, M.D. in ""Halting Time Pressure.". The incessant struggle to do more and more in less and less time also makes us more likely to respond with toxic anger to anyone or anything slowing us down. We feel we're not accomplishing what we should and self esteem plummets. We feel exhausted and overwhelmed all the time, denying ourselves the satisfaction of a job well done. Personal relationships suffer. We don't have time for the real conversations and intimacy that help buffer stress and increase our resistance to disease. Because of the added tension and worry about getting things done, we may lose sleep. We slip into bad habits, eating too much or too little or relying on junk food. We avoid exercise, light up a cigarette or turn to alcohol, caffeine, or pills to rev up or calm down.
