Dangers of Essential Oils

Odds are you know someone who sells essential oils for a multi-level marketing company, and they might just tout them as a miracle remedy for just about everything.

Anything powerful enough to have a beneficial effect on the body could also have negative effects, says Bauer. "Whether it's a drug, an herb or an essential oil, all should be treated with respect," he says. "What works for one person may not work for the next-or may interfere with medications," he says, or have other side effects. Don't assume it's safe because it's natural, and be aware that "not all essential oil companies test their oils for quality," says Roz Zollinger, a certified aromatherapist, instructor and founder of the Heal Center in Atlanta. Research the company before you buy.

Methylfolate Makes Me Crazy

We've talked about the MTHFR mutant problem before (right here) but haven't really addressed the actual taking of methylfolate. We mutants are out there, walking among you unable to convert regular old folic acid into methylfolate.

I will stand with pride among you my brothers and sisters because yes, I too am a mutant. Deep shuddering sigh. As it turns out, using gene markers alone to plan a healthy nutritional protocol is not as straightforward as it would seem. The reason being that every system in the human body has a glorious level of redundancy - we are literally designed to fail in eight hundred ways and still function normally. Simply having the MTHFR mutation doesn't actually mean that high-dose methylfolate like Deplin® which is prescribed in either 7.5 mg or 15 mg doses is a good idea.

We love our pets. Our dogs are members of the family. To many of us, they are one of the kids - the furry one. But are we as careful with what we feed our pets as what we feed our children? Frequently, ads for pet food claim that they have "real" food, but the ingredients end up being things like wheat gluten meal, animal by-products, and corn by-products.

Your allergies are driving you crazy, but you really don't like to take conventional medications. Or maybe you've tried over-the-counter allergy meds-or even prescription ones-but you're not getting the relief you need. What else might work?

You might be tempted to pack up the humidifier, but hold off, recommends John Salerno, DO, a family practitioner at Patients Medical holistic wellness center in New York City. "When it's still a little cool at night and indoor humidity is low, using a cool-mist humidifier can help get allergens out of the air," he explains. "Water droplets bind to the allergens, and they get heavy and fall to the floor so you don't inhale them." Getty

There are few things as difficult as the physical and emotional implications of a terminal cancer diagnosis. But even worse is that most of these patients go on to receive unnecessary medical treatments.

Dying in a hospital, hooked up to tubes is not only unnecessary, but often kills the patient faster. A new study from Japan just concluded that terminal cancer patients who choose to die at home, live longer. Patients who Died at Home Lived about 45% Longer

Country giant Merle Haggard, who rose from poverty and prison to international fame though his songs about outlaws, and an abiding sense of national pride in such hits as "Okie From Muskogee" and "Sing Me Back Home," died Wednesday at 79, on his birthday.

Haggard's manager, Frank Mull, said the country icon died in Palo Cedro, California, 8 miles east of Redding, of pneumonia that he had been battling for months. He had kept up an ambitious touring schedule, but the pneumonia in both lungs had forced him to cancel several shows this year.

If you ignore what you deposit in your toilet, you could be flushing your health down the drain!

When it comes to toileting habits, the topic is not exactly a favorite among Americans - at least for those above the age of four. Mention poop and you can easily clear a room - or at the least, generate some unusual facial expressions, nervous laughter, and wisecracks about "too much information." But your bodily emissions are an important health topic that deserves serious attention, regardless of the "ick factor." In fact, if you ignore what you deposit in your toilet, you could be flushing your health down the drain! Did you know the average person generates about five TONS of stool in his or her lifetime? Turns out, there is much to be learned from this mountain of poop.

Parents of a toddler who died earlier this week while at the dentist said they are still in shock. All that was supposed to happen was routine. Daisy Lynn Torres needed to have two cavities filled, Betty Squier and Elizandro Torres said Thursday.

Because Daisy was 14 months old, a dentist at Austin Children's Dentistry was using general anesthesia. "They told me to sit down with her so they could put her under, and they told me to leave the room," Squier said. "So I left the room." After Daisy was anesthetized, Squier said the dentist, whom she did not identify, told her that her daughter needed additional dental work.

My seasonal allergies have been killing me! As I told my friends, I've blown my nose so often this past month that I feel like I'm going to blow out my brains! It's horticultural homicide! My younger son has them as well, just far milder symptoms.

In past years, I have eaten crackers with brie and raw, local honey to help with seasonal allergies. The general idea is that the pollen enters your system through the honey and your body is better able to deal with it. that means that if the pollens you are allergic to are ones bees don't visit much, honey won't help much.
