We have a special on Zinc Penetrator with an expiration date of 9/24. 6 for the price of 1 plus shipping - or you can pickup. Dr. Baroody said these were good for several years after the required expiration date and so we hate for these to go to waste. The office number is 423-530-7548.

We had a small hive of honeybees that took up residence out at the farm - inside the corner wall between the kitchen and the back porch. This house that I grew up in was built by my grandparents in 1900. My Dad and my cousin, George Pope, were born in the house, and Dad and his sisters also grew up there....

I don't know what your diet is like - but, this is the place to start. I have found diet to be extremely important in my healing journey. Following are some changes to gradually get you started: 1. Intermittent fasting. This isn't as hard or scary as it sounds. Try to ensure that you don't eat after dinner and don't eat an early breakfast - so have at least a 12 - 14 hour window that you fast to let the body reset....

I have become somewhat of an unwilling expert on dry mouth these last few years since a major surgery required removal of my left salivary gland. There are still minor glands on that side that have come back somewhat; however, wintertime and air conditioning - especially at night sleeping or traveling in a car - have me feeling as though I'm traversing the Sahara Desert at midday with rolls of cotton in my mouth....

Wooden Spoon Circa 1900 I really don't know when my grandmother obtained her wooden spoon. She married my grandfather in 1896 and the house was built in 1900. Cooking was a necessity in those days - nothing like the optional convenience we enjoy today. I started making bread in my teens and asked my dad if I could have her spoon and breadboard....

I found that it has been 2 years since I updated my blog. I have survived more cancer imbalances and surgeries - so, a lot of this time has been spent healing. Stress is a huge factor in illness of any kind, inflammation is produced by stresses on the body - especially by carrying extra weight. I reduced stress, have been forced to get more sleep and rest, and I lost 40 pounds....

I still remember the day when Rachelle, my daughter, came home from high school and said that she knew what she wanted to do with her life. She had said for years that she wanted to go to Harvard and be an attorney - and she has the logical mind and intelligence for it. But, on that day, she had been working with a program with the younger school kids and decided that she wanted to be a Speech Pathologist....

Carrying a bag on the shoulder (even if it is empty) requires constant isometric contraction of the elevators of the shoulder girdle, such as the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and rhomboids.
Use, leading to overuse, leading to misuse, leading to abuse...
A bag carried cross-shoulder does not require the scapular elevators to have to overwork.

Sometimes life deals us a hard blow. It can knock us off of our footing for a while - knock the wind out of our sails, and we fall, stuck - in a seemingly endless, stagnant ocean - in moving. That happened to me recently as I had to again assess what I could no longer do. What isn't obvious to other people is the loss of function that I experienced as a result of surgery for cancer 7 years ago. [ 530 more words ]

9th Grade Students Gain the Attention of Scientists After Their Experiment Reveals a Dark Truth About WiFi We have long encouraged students to find ways to connect with their school work, making it interesting and personal, holding their attention longer and allowing them to see more success. This was the case at a school in northern Jutland, where a group of 9th-grade students recently embarked on a bio...
