Abstract This blog will identify a quality model of a worksite health program. Wellness.com: Blog One of the most effective machines of a worksite health program that I both seen and had the privilege to work in was the Department of Occupational Health and Preventative Medicine at the US Naval Hospital in Yokosuka, Japan. Some of the offices that fell under this department were preventative medicine,... 11/3/2007 7:00:00 AM

by Michael Esposito, MD
About Me View My Posts
The United States Department of Health and Human services recently released its plan describing how it will distribute a flu vaccine if, or when, a flu pandemic occurs in this country. The plan divides the population into four tiers based on different factors. The first tier individuals will receive the vaccine before anyone else. They are the health care workers, first responders and people who are... 11/2/2007 7:00:00 AM

by Rae Pica
About Me View My Posts
The blogosphere has buzzed lately with the voices of parents who are appalled and sometimes outraged at the idea of the schools sending home notices regarding their children's weight. Here's part of a recent posting from MotherTalkers: "At least a dozen states have passed legislation requiring schools to start sending reports home if a child's Body Mass Index (itself a controversial health-o-meter)... 11/2/2007 7:00:00 AM

Do Your Hormone Levels Determine If You'll Be a Good Mother?
by Dr. Laura Markham
About Me View My Posts
Why are some women better mothers than others? Studies with animals implicate oxytocin in the bonding process -- those with low oxytocin exhibit slower pup retrieval and less licking and grooming -- but little research has been done with humans. Now a new study in the November issue of Psychological Science suggests that women with higher levels of oxytocin during their first trimester are primed to... 11/1/2007 7:00:00 AM

Claire Verity and Bringing Up Baby
by Dr. Laura Markham
About Me View My Posts
Britain's Channel 4 is under attack for its latest reality show. This one subjects newborns to a variety of childrearing methods, including some I think are barbaric. A recent episode of Bringing Up Baby with Claire Verity, a celebrity nanny who calls herself a maternity nurse but whose only qualification seems to be sleeping with Mick Jagger when she was supposed to be caring for his child, provoked... 10/31/2007 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Two separate incidents lead to the thoughts behind this happiness blog posting. One, involved a woman who lives nearby my house who gets around with the help of a guide-dog. The other, was yet another thought provoking tip from Lou Tice at the Pacific Institute. Anyway, all that's really relevant here in this happiness context is the following question...to whom do you look for guidance when it comes... 10/31/2007 7:00:00 AM

A different view of menopause
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
I have a different view of menopause than most. I see it not as a transition to be embraced but as a medical problem that causes a lot of ill health, and I see medical treatment as the solution to that problem. I am not talking about the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) that was given to women in the Women's Health Initiative, because, from a scientific standpoint it wasn't HRT. Premarin is neither... 10/31/2007 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Have you ever looked to the sky and asked yourself…why is this happening to me or why am I not more successful? It’s safe to say most people have. Well, today is the day you’re going to get your answer; except the answer is not going to come from above…it’s going to come from within. I’m sure many of us have also said things like: I’m a good person, I’m a hard worker, I’m nice to people, I’m committed... 10/30/2007 7:00:00 AM

Baby DVDs Impair Vocabulary Acquisition
by Dr. Laura Markham
About Me View My Posts
Many parents, in an effort to give their baby the best head start in life, purchase educational DVDs such as Brainy Baby and Baby Einstein. Although the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should not watch television until two years of age, countless parents rationalize contradicting this standard pediatric advice, seduced by the promise of a smarter child, or maybe at least by... 10/29/2007 7:00:00 AM

Rhythm of Life

About Me View My Posts
The breath is a cycle.Inhale . . . exhale. It is like a little life. A little experience. The breath teaches us about cycles. It teaches us that if we inhale, we must exhale. That something has a beginning and an end. It teaches us that life goes on, even after we exhale, another breath will be taken. Every day, every moment, we are breathing. We don't have to remember to breathe, it happens automatically... 10/29/2007 7:00:00 AM
