A friend told me the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. can be understood as the last gasp of medievalism striking out against modernism. I don’t know if I believe that.

The winter always seems to bring on dry skin. Technically known as xeroderma, it is the lack of moisture. It causes skin to become less smooth, soft and pliable. Some dryness occurs with aging, but the moisture-sapping effects of the elements, particularly cold air, usually cause it.
Moisture and healthy skin go hand in hand. When skin is supplied with fluids, it tends to be more pliable and plump, less prone to wrinkles and cracks. Environmental conditions such as dry air, wind and sun damage can suck moisture from skin, making it parched and rough. When you use a moisturizer, it puts fluid in the skin. If we use high fluid foods in our diets, we hydrate the actual tissue builders.

Bacteria are everywhere. Our digestive tracts alone are home to about 3 pounds of bacteria. Any subtle shifts in the balance of bacteria in our gut can positively or negatively affect our entire physiological functioning.
What can cause a shift in the balance of good and bad bacteria? Antibiotics can as they eliminate all bacteria (microflora), good and bad. A diet high in animal products and low in vegetable fiber, high in refined sugar and refined white flour and other highly refined carbohydrates can also lead to an imbalance. The flood of anti-bacterial products on the market hasn’t helped either.

If a person is unable to perform these tests, the doctor can relate that to the extent of the disease process. If the muscles are weakening, then that could give the doctor a clue that the person is not getting enough exercise or spends most of their time sedentary. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
