According to an article published in the January issue of the journal, Pediatrics, placebo is as effective as drugs in preventing migraine headaches in children. Only two drugs, Topamax and trazadone, worked better than placebo, and the very minimal benefits were not worth the risks from side effects.
The benefit of placebo was a reduction...

Kitchen toxins, especially Teflon, are very toxic. Stainless steel is probably the best to avoid toxin production. Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar are a great combination to sterilize cutting boards and other kitchen surfaces. Baking soda is a great kitchen cleansing agent. Lead in dishware is a concern because it is often in the glaze, especially in products made...

DNA is not immutable and how we live our lives affects its very structure. Bioenergetics affect us in every way; we are enegy bodies. When fear takes control it takes us outside of our body and we become disempowered. Thinking, meditation, qigong, tai chi change our structure at the deepest level. For more information on Tai Chi and Qigong, please click...

Personal empowerment is all about taking charge of our lives, yet "taking charge" is not really about taking control. Many times it's about letting go, releasing ourselves of the impossible task to control everything. At the core of this process is trust. To build that trust is to learn about where our real power lies. This...

When we don't know what action to take about important issues in our lives it can be quite unsettling. In the case of Covid 19, we are getting conflicting points of view from a wide range of sources of information that are supposed to be trusted. Do you trust the FDA, CDC, NIH, WHO, POTUS, the conspiracy theorists, or do you have your...

Aboriginal thought of self is that we are part of our community. The "bigger than me" includes everything and everything I do to the planet I do to me. We must redefine our self as community. It includes as food, water, air, soil and all that there is. As society moves more and more away from nature, we lose our sense of interconnectedness. ...

All we have is the present moment. Time is created by our perception and it is a critical factor in healing. We can only be in one place at a time and by being present, we can embrace, understand and manage pain. Reality is constantly appearing and disappearing - modern physics is proving this scientifically. Our perception of an experiement effects its outcome....

Chi (Qi) is something that does not exist in this dimension. The quantum physicists are beginning to understand aspects of Qi as their current research is concurring with what the ancient sages in China and elsewhere have always held to be true. Qi is what we work with in health and healing practices such as Qigong (chi gung) and tai chi is the energy, the force...

When we look at self as heart, love becomes the embracing mechanism. Love is the binding force that acknowledges our truth. There is a dance between love and separation in today's world. Gratitude is the sustaining force that maintains being present in a loving state. The ego only knows about time and space and the heart knows nothing except presence. Love...

The Project to End Disease was founded by Raymond Francis. Health care reform has not addressed the real problem of switching from disease care to health care. We simply do not have a sustainable health care system and there's no plan that works. Abolishing disease is the realistic solution.

Stress needs to be balanced; we need just the right amount or there is trouble. There is always a certain sense of chaos in our lives as human beings. Trust is necessary to have a life with reasonable quality. Life's lessons are opportunity for growth and development. The National Institutes of Health has shown that over 70% of all disease is caused by stress. ...

When you don't know the outcome of a medical test, the uncertainty of not knowing can be more stressful and anxiety provoking than the worst possible outcome. Our minds tend to worry and we need to learn to "worry well." Chronic stress suppresses immunity and sets the stage for further inflammation and progression of whatever disease...

According to ancient wisdom based on healing practices such as Qigong, when we worry about the future, we give away our Qi (chi). We live in an abundant universe and we have access to all of it at every moment. Embracing that we are Qi energy puts us in touch with the Universe. Many indigenous calendars, such as the Mayan one pointing to 2012, show that we're...
