  Eat well and be well “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.” Hippocrates said this around 400 B.C.

April 10, 2019 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The healthcare debate like the border wall, immigration policy and Russia collusion has our country completely divided along political lines. But healthcare—unlike the other issues—offers a few major points on which almost everyone can agree: Obamacare has not succeeded in lowering insurance costs for the majority of Americans. Insurance companies have created a … [Read more...]

February 12, 2018 by Dina Blaes Leave a Comment

It’s an accepted fact that physical activity and eating a nutritious and varied diet can improve our health and well-being. But when it comes to our mental health, what we eat and how much we move around is often only part of the equation. Mental health issues like depression and anxiety disorders have traditionally been the purview of health care professionals. But a … [Read more...]

Is The FDA Preventing Us From Eating Healthier?

January 24, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Foodborne illnesses claim 2400 lives in the United States every year. These lives are lost despite the best efforts of the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), with a combined spending of $15.6 billion on meat recalls, and $56 million in total food recalls. Let's consider just the meat recalls for a moment: $15.6 billion. The total … [Read more...]

How To Manage Your Health in a Sickcare System

April 14, 2017 by John Librett, PhD, MPH Leave a Comment

While you may be a conscientious consumer of many products and services, you are most likely not a smart consumer of healthcare. According to the British Medical Journal, error is the third leading cause of death in the US, equal to two jumbo jets crashing every day with no survivors. When even one jet crashes, it’s on every news channel. But what would happen if hundreds of … [Read more...]

The caduceus is the traditional symbol that features two snakes winding around a winged staff. It is often mistakenly used as a symbol of medicine in the U.S. Doctor's offices and hospitals. The caduceus is actually a symbol (with ancient Greek origins) to represent commerce, negotiation and even trickery. The correct Greek symbol for medicine is the Rod of Asclepius —a … [Read more...]
