In Dr. Mark Hyman’s new book The UltraMind Solution he provides a step-by-step guide to helping treat and in many times cure what he describes as, “the symptoms of a broken brain”. His approach has proven successful in treating and reversing depression, ADHD, autism, Asperger’s, bipolar disease, high anxiety, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Other great sources for documented Autism cures are the documentaries Autism Yesterday or Autism U.S.A. It is odd that so many today are focused on raising money for disease cures when the cures are already...
A New Year allows us time to stop to ponder our past and to formulate plans for our future. This is as true on a societal level as it is on the individual level. Unfortunately, as with many individuals, societies and their governments often fail to review the past in an objective, unbiased manner, as political objectives can often take precedence. Such failings can sometimes lead to unresponsive or questionable policies (similar to unrealistic New Year’s resolutions of individuals) and this is certainly true in the realm of health care. This n...

Today I watched Big Brother get a whole bag of marshmallows and prop himself in his mini lazy boy chair. He sat there kicking his legs, happily watching a Smurfs marathon. I have not seen that show since I was a little girl. I used to watch it every weekend at my grandma’s house. I loved it and it was cute to see that Big Brother enjoyed it too. Out of nowhere, Little Brother’s head pops up next to Big Brother and a little hand snatches the bag of marshmallows and then we watched as Little Brother crawls away as fast as he can like a lit...
