What Gets YOU Inflamed?
Are you an adult? Would you prefer the pound(s) of cure to the ounce of prevention? One of the sad commentaries about adulthood is that we don’t take care of ourselves until something hurts, the detection of which relies on the nervous system.

Childhood Success At School
The electronic babysitter holds a place of great esteem in modern society, although there are plenty of families who relegate it to the limbo of indifference.

For a long time, emotions and logical thought have been portrayed as competing processes, with emotions depicted as obstacles to effective decision making.

The Rumors on Rheumatoid Arthritis
Aunt Martha’s mother was the kindest, gentlest soul you’d ever meet. She went out of her way to make you feel at home. Food and drink were hallmarks of her cordial greeting. But she couldn’t open a package, twist open a jar or cut a cake. Her fingers were so badly gnarled that no two pointed in the same direction. Some of the joints formed the letter “Z.”

Sports Injuries: Young and Foolish
Before you think of us as overly refined pinky lifters, let it be known that we played rough and tumble when baseballs needed to be covered with friction tape, and the only head protection in the fall was attached to your scalp.

Toxins In Baby Wipes
The populace has become so self-assured that it trusts people and products to be what they want them to be, which could genuinely be opposite of their expectations. In the case of personal hygiene products, we are satisfied if they remove the smudge, erase the stain and kill the germ. Few consider the trade-off.
