  • Why am I so tired?

    Sep 16, 2010

    Doctors used to call fatigue the “yuppie disease,” thinking that it most commonly effected people of high socioeconomic status. We know that it’s actually more common in people with fewer resources for several reasons, including higher stress and a compromised diet. Some people with severe mental fatigue may have memory loss; those with severe physical fatigue can feel like every muscle is drained, leaving no strength or energy to do the simplest tasks. If fatigue lasts for a month or longer, you might want to go to a physician. But if there...

  • Is there MRSA in your meat?

    Sep 16, 2010

    Antibiotics are routinely given in feed and water to perfectly healthy chickens, pigs, and cattle on conventional industrial farms, mostly to promote faster growth and to compensate for crowded and unsanitary conditions. Antibiotics’ rampant use—both on farms and in human health care—has led to the emergence of “superbugs,” or antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In the last decade, the number of cases of MRSA (a particularly virulent and multidrug-resistant staph bacteria) in children has jumped tenfold, according to a study recently published...

    An Anonymous Mother|Sep 16, 2010

    By An Anonymous Mother After spending a fun and crazy busy summer with Big Brother it was time for school shopping and start the bedtime routine. He was really easy to please and unlike his mother at five didn’t care if his clothes were “cool” or name brand. All he cared was about being left alone and not being forced to try on any clothes, “just buy them and bring them back later if they don’t fit me.” were his words every time I asked if he liked this outfit or did he want these socks. He didn’t know he can’t try on socks but his automatic a...
