Don’t take your lungs for granted!

Don’t take your lungs for granted!

  As much as I wish I could say otherwise, the inspiration for today’s blog comes from two people who are very dear to me. One who smoked for the better part of 50 years or more, and one who was successfully treated for breast cancer, only to learn that it had metastasized to her lungs. And watching both of them—one on oxygen 24/7 and the other undergoing lung cancer treatment—I have been starkly reminded...

At last-real relief for painful periods!

At last-real relief for painful periods!

  I think it’s safe to say that most women (yours truly included) have experienced at least some degree of menstrual cramps in their lives, which can range from mild discomfort to serious pain.     But one out of five women suffers from extremely severe pain to the point where it is debilitating, otherwise known as dysmenorrhea.  In addition to the pain, symptoms of dysmenorrhea can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, weakness and even fainting...

How to prevent the second most deadly cancer

How to prevent the second most deadly cancer

  March is “National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.” Since colorectal cancer is second only to lung cancer in terms of deadliness, it’s good to be aware of it and more importantly, know how to prevent it. Colorectal cancer is rather personal to me since my Mom had it back in 1978 and ended up with a permanent colostomy as a result. When she was first diagnosed, it seemed so shocking to 15 year-old me, but...

5 Ways to Prevent Our Top 2 Killers

5 Ways to Prevent Our Top 2 Killers

  My, how February has risen in prominence. It used to be most well-known for Valentine’s Day and then in later years, Presidents Day.  (I guess you can count Groundhog Day too if you’d like—Punxsutawney Phil would be pleased.) Well, February has stepped up even more, because not only is it National Cancer Prevention Month, but it’s recognized as American Heart Month as well. Who knew that humble February—the month during which I would officially...

Why does the media ignore these COVID facts?

Why does the media ignore these COVID facts?

  If you are a bit “seasoned” like I am, you probably remember when the “news” was actually that—reporting on important information or events taking place, with no opinions, hidden agendas or slants.  Now?  It’s a fear-inducing psychological operation carried out by very well-trained, well-groomed actors, and COVID has been their choice of topic 24/7 for the last nearly two years. But if these script readers truly cared about reporting NEWS, how about telling people...

I have a secret to tell you

I have a secret to tell you

  I have a little secret to share with you. Today is my birthday, and not only that, this is my LAST birthday in the 50s. Gulp! And while knocking on the door of 60 may sound a little scary on the surface, I honestly feel great! I’m still running every week, doing full-contact karate sparring (fighting men), and enjoying a consistent high level of energy. Plus I recently got mistaken as my daughter’s sister...
