Let there be Light

Apr 09, 2011 03:48PM ● By David Rindge

Today’s scientific healthcare breakthroughs often appear more quickly than the means to put them into practice. And once in a great while, practitioners arrive at a Star-Trek-like phenomenon that truly astonishes. Such is the case with the 21st century’s highly-versatile low level laser therapy (LLLT). The effects of laser light at low intensity have been compared to Dr. Leonard McCoy’s tricorder, the hand-held, energetic healing device able to quickly identify and cure a plethora of medical conditions.

Apr 07, 2011 05:12PM ● By Dr. Kevin Kilday, PhD, CNC

The toy industry has recalled over 10 million Chinese made toys containing lead and lead based paint. This recall has left parents concerned about their children’s exposure to this dangerous heavy metal, and with just cause, only a tiny amount of lead is needed to harm a young, growing child. Children like to put their hands, toys, and other things in their mouths. Ingestion is the most common route of exposure to lead for children, and the route that most commonly leads to illness.
