If you are looking for a recent debate on the topic of mental illness (aka mental health), then take a look at the June 2008 editions (both online and print) of the Globe and Mail newspaper. Here is one response to their series of articles that I particularly liked, The face of mental illness.

This series of newspaper articles is called “Breakdown: Canada’s Mental Health Crisis.” Here is the link: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/breakdown

Cosmetics is big business, as are cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. And as the Baby Boomers retire (and that huge wave of retirement has begun) we will see a continued upswing in cosmetic, plastic surgery, and non-surgical procedures: for example, liposuction, breast surgery, facial surgery, tummy tucks, gel eye masks, and vein treatments. Why? Because the Baby Boomers are the generation that plans on staying active and young for as long as possible, and they are a generation that knows that the possibilities are mind boggling.

So you should now know that you are not alone. And if you are planning on vein surgery or have varicose veins, then you will want to know about the compression stockings featured on Recovery Elements, www.recoveryelements.com, a very clean and fast loading web site and online store that specializes in presenting after-care products, that is, equipment and devices (such as compression socks) that contribute to your recovery from surgical procedures. Recovery Elements works closely with surgeons in order to determine the exact products people need. They provide the best products all in one easily accessible online store. Exactly what you need. Just what you are looking for.

We hear on the news that we should eat right and exercise, that fruits and vegetables help prevent cancer, and that the right foods and daily exercise help prevent heart disease. Furthermore, we are told to restrict fats and cholesterol and avoid deep-fried and fast foods. We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic and obesity brings about heart disease and cancer. But sometimes common preventive measures are not enough, either because we are burdened with genetic predispositions or, for example, because we have sustained a lifetime of pollution.

Given our present health concerns, many individuals and practitioners of alternative health strategies have expressed their faith in the benefits of chelation therapy, a process whereby EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra-acetic Acid) binds molecules (metals or minerals) and removes them from the body. When the patient undergoes oral chelation, using liquid EDTA, hardened mineral and metal deposits are apparently removed from the circulatory system, improving blood flow and increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.

If you are considering chelation, you will find a surprising amount of good information on the www.cardiorenew.com FAQ, http://www.cardiorenew.com/questions.php, and the rest of the web site, where you can compare therapies and read testimonials.

I was told that Europeans do not “live to work,” they “work to live.” And I once read that European women prefer rather unambitious husbands — Europeans cherish time and European women feel that overachievers spend way too much psychological and physical time away from their wives and families.

What has ambition brought us? Early death and taxes and global warming.

One of my friends will soon find out if she needs surgery for spinal stenosis, a narrowing of her spine. Back surgery can be dangerous and often only partially alleviates the pain and immobility associated with spinal problems. I made an online search. The reputable sites recommend that patients obtain second opinions before proceeding with surgery. Here are links to valuable information:

Mayo Clinic’s spinal stenosis information: Mayo Clinic

Mayo’s section on spinal surgery: Back surgery: When is it a good idea?

New minimally invasive back surgery: Science Daily

Most of us prefer green tea, not Wu-Yi.

I think we hear about obesity daily, how it contributes to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and shorter lifespans. And we are bombarded by news and advertisements of diet plans and exercises and even surgical techniques. Not only are a vast number of adults fighting weight gain, our children are overweight too.

But what if you could achieve weight loss without embarking on a major diet or an extensive exercise routine? (Personally I think the Zone diet coupled with exercise will take the pounds off.) What if you could simply add one food/drink to a low calorie diet supplemented with light exercise? I am sure you have heard of green tea diets, but how about Wu-Yi tea?

Salesmen say that Wu-Yi tea helps activate enzymes that dissolve and burn fat, that the tea speeds up metabolism (just like muscle does). The active ingredients in Wu-Yi are called polyphenols. According to some research, as well as anecdotal accounts, drinking two cups of Wu-Yi tea per day helps people lose weight, and the tea also helps block the carbohydrate cascade that leads to rapid weight gain. (Personally I drink green tea. Scientists say green tea is less processed than Wu-Yi and therefore contains more antioxidants.)

The headlines today are “Mitt Romney quits after pouring $35 million of his own money into failed campaign.” Of course, we all know that Mitt Romney was running in the Republican primary, the race in which Republican voters choose which Republican leader will run against the Democrats for the U.S. presidency. But I do not hear anyone in the press pointing out that Romney’s $35 million would have been better spent helping the poor right here in the United States.

Romney’s courage (and extra money) would best serve the hopeless (the lost, and especially the lost at sea . . .).

The Super Bowl was boring, as usual (you know . . . football) and had way too many TV commercials, as usual. And Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ half-time show was like brown snow — tired winter, dead flowers, bronchitis brought on by lifestyle — which brings me to my point: The half-time show’s producer (the company that put it on) asked for 600 volunteers (and got them), but I don’t know why anyone in their right mind would give their time for free to millionaires like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers or to an event that makes millions of dollars (never mind the Super Bowl’s sponsors’ earnings, the ones who bought the commercials — they paid 2.7 million dollars for 20 seconds of air time).

Makes me wonder about Mankind. With all those millions of dollars floating around, why did 600 Arizonans work for free?

We often hear of opportunists building rather shallow web sites around mesothelioma and asbestos so that they might obtain top dollar from contextual pay-per-click Google Adsense advertisements (Google crawls participating web sites and serves ads that match each site’s content). Or the myth is that content related to mesothelioma will bring webmasters some of the best paying Google Adsense ads. But here is one mesothelioma law firm that is serious about bringing the public lots of relevant and very detailed mesothelioma information: The Maune Raichle Law Firm runs the web site www.legal-mesothelioma-help.com, where the lawyers and their researchers tell victims and victims’ families (and other interested parties) all about mesothelioma: what it is, how and why individuals fall victim to the disease, and the symptoms and procedures leading to diagnosis.

This mesothelioma information site, www.legal-mesothelioma-help.com, goes on to point out the products that contain asbestos and the jobs that lead to asbestos exposure, and provides links to cancer centers that treat individuals suffering with mesothelioma. Available treatments (including nutritional and alternative therapies) are enumerated and explained. And while acknowledging that the victim’s health, treatment and survival are of paramount importance, the site details the legal process and the probable length of the legal battle. Legal Mesothelioma Help Dot Com is serious about putting good information on the Web.
