Diflunisal (Dolobid)
What is Diflunisal?
Diflunisal is in a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
Diflunisal is used to treat mild to moderate pain, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis.
Diflunisal may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What should I avoid while taking Diflunisal?
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
Avoid taking aspirin or other NSAIDs without your doctor's advice. This includes ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), indomethacin, piroxicam (Feldene), nabumetone (Relafen), etodolac (Lodine), sulindac (Clinoril), and others.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any over-the-counter cold, allergy, or pain medicine. Many combination medicines contain aspirin or other medicines similar to diflunisal (such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen). Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of this type of medication. Check the label to see if a medicine contains aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen.
Avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds. Diflunisal can make you sunburn more easily. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) when you are outdoors.
Avoid using antacids without your doctor's advice. Use only the type of antacid your doctor recommends. Some antacids can make it harder for your body to absorb diflunisal.Back to Top

WASHINGTON, November 22, 2013 — His first name was Carl. That's all I know. If this is the correct spelling of his name, I'm not aware. I'm only guessing. He was happy, despite being sometimes hungry and cold. Carl called this frozen stiff sidewalk, which framed the backdrop of a gray empty building, home sweet home. There were pluses, like the overhang that shielded him, mostly, from driving rain or whirling snow.
During this holiday season, my husband and I had expected to see him passing by our condo building or perhaps waving from across the street. But weeks have gone by with no sign of him, no eager smile, no warm greeting as he had many times before. We unabashedly miss him.
Pack Up and Leave
We learned through neighborhood folks that Carl had been told by the "authorities" he had to move, take all his belongings with him, and simply to pack up and go. He had had no time to prepare himself. How does someone in Carl's position prepare?
He had confided to all of us that he hated shelters, felt unsafe there in a crowded "ward" and treasured his independence on the streets. Where is Carl? We urgently wondered as we peered across the street at the empty spot he once securely occupied.
No blankets propped just so, no cart filled with his "goods." We could no longer say, "I wonder if Carl is home today?" the way we often did.
In a hurry or short of cash, we'd occasionally, slip by him without his noticing. We had never heard him complain about anything, which certainly served to remind us of our own selfish ways.
We decided in a silent pact between us, we would never avoid him again. Besides, Carl's greetings were as irresistible as a friend arriving home whom you haven't seen for a very long time.
We began to embrace him, both literally and figuratively. Surprisingly easy, despite his dishevelment, lack of cleanliness, much of the time, and his not infrequent precarious mood swings, which were usually brought on by alcohol or by demons within. I know we can never fully appreciate or understand all the reasons that led him to this.
Hungry for Bean Soup
A few years ago on a day when the air, crisp and damp, had become soup weather, Carl greeted us as usual but turned to me and said, "Geri, would you make me some navy bean soup with lots of ham in it?" This was so unusual that it startled me, but only for a second. We had given him a hot meal occasionally without his ever asking. He'd accept, quietly muttering, "I love you." I felt the trust resonating in his voice and could not deny his request. Later, he complimented the meal, "Par excellence," he had said, with the appropriate and correct French pronunciation. It wasn't the first time he had surprised us. What was Carl's story?
Now he's gone. And we miss him. We worry about him. Is he cold, tired, hungry or worse, alone and sad?
Just past dark one evening, my husband burst through the door. "Carl is back!" he said, out of breath now. "I spotted Carl across the street and I ran as fast as I could after the light changed. We almost knocked each other down when we hugged!
"Of course, I welcomed Carl back to the neighborhood," my husband Vance said. I stood listening to my husband with pride in my heart and tears yet to surface. He continued, "Carl isn't in his old spot, you know."
"No, he isn't. He's a few doors away, which doesn't have anything to shield him like the overhang like before."
"Why didn't he go back to his old spot?"
My husband responded, "He refused to, said it would be 'wrong.'" How elegant.
A Christmas Gift
We walked to the front door of our building in order for me to see across the street. There sat Carl huddled, knees up, head down against the cold. Construction would be beginning soon the authorities had said, when they had asked him to leave before.
Nothing significant, to date, had occurred, except of course, Carl moved. Then he was back, but where were all of his belongings he had pack-ratted for so long?
Emotions swelled. Amongst them, frustration, sadness, anger and guilt surface. At least, for now, we knew he would be safe and had come "home" for Christmas. I felt warm inside and pray he feels the same on the outside. He asked so little. I went inside, reluctantly, and close the door.
And then it was Christmas Eve. Vance had returned from another meaningful visit with Carl. My husband had discreetly slipped him some money and things, as they exchanged hands, bid each other well and said goodnight. Inside, Vance doesn't stop to shed his coat or gloves to warm his hands by the fire.
Instead, he stretched them out to me and with an oddly soft lilt to his voice he whispered, "Here, honey, this is from Carl. He said to give it to you, and to 'tell Geri Merry Christmas!'"
I dared not speculate on how or where Carl got this lovely little necklace, but it's one I'll never forget. Tasteful, charming, but secondary to the real gift he gave me this Christmas.
As if by some gravitational pull, I walked over to the huge picture window that overlooks beautiful trees silhouetted by the delicate hush of night. The soft quiet beauty of the twilight sky beckoned me. As my eyes rested upon an unusually bright star, I heard myself whisper, "Thank you."
Years have unfolded since that Christmas Eve. Loved ones have passed, hearts have been broken and new found joys have emerged. And construction for the new market has finally begun. We haven't seen Carl for much too long and now once again Christmas rapidly approaches. If Carl should return, this time I won't forget to ask him the correct spelling of his name. Perhaps this time, he may even tell me a Christmas story, his story.

you will have to order up two sizes... way too small. I am a size eight and Med was way too small.....
PLEASE label "Fits Small" somewhere on the product description because I am a size 4-6 and ordered a M but it was WAY TOO SMALL!!! Ordered two pairs, one in purple and one in cream color. Returning them and cost me $8.00. It's such a waste of money for consumers. This could have been prevented by current labeling of size on the website.
These are very nice pants BUT the sizing is all wrong...I am usually a small 4-6 in my pants and shirts...there were no smalls offered in these so I got the med thinking at lest I could put pants on under and be really warm...I will use them for riding...BUT they are tight even without anything else on...I was dissapointed but not enough to send back...you MUST put on the add..."sizes run small, please order next size up"
Snow pants were an excellent fit and colour - we purchased a jacket in a local store and could not find pants to match. These were perfect. Thank you

WASHINGTON (AP) Google is asking the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to lift its long-standing gag order on how often the company is asked to turn over data about its customers to the U.S. government.
Saying that it has a constitutional right to free speech, Google filed a motion Tuesday asking that it be allowed to disclose the number of data requests that come from secret orders approved by the court.
Google is among nine Internet companies identified this month as complicit in a broad surveillance program, called PRISM, that's run by the National Security Agency.
The revelation of the program's details by a former NSA contractor has sparked a national debate about the privacy of Americans' communications.

A weekend fire in Saratoga Springs has left an organization that helps families in crisis without a home of its own. As YNN's Matt Hunter reports, their focus is now finding a temporary place to offer services while working to rebuild.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- "We had a family in here several months ago and as the father stood there talking with us, he broke down."
John Kelly recalls the conversation vividly. Standing inside the Saratoga Center for the Family, a man whose own son was being treated for sexual abuse grew emotional.
"He said that when he was abused as a child, there wasn't a place like this for him to be brought to back then," said Kelly, the center's law enforcement coordinator. "He was so grateful because there was a place like this."
On a yearly basis, the center provides counseling and support for 500 adults and children who fall victim to crimes and sexual abuse, services that are temporarily on hold after a devastating fire this past weekend.
"You're hoping for the best and then you come in and see this," said Kelly, while standing inside the charred basement. "It's disturbing and some of it's personal."
The fire broke out shortly before 10 p.m. Friday. By the time crews had it contained nearly three hours later, the center's basement lay completely in ruins.
"Our priority right now is to get our services back up and running in time to take care of our clients," executive director Deb Tomaso said. "That's what we're focused on today."
While the building is not a total loss, Tomaso estimates rebuilding will take up to four months. Her hope is to move all 12 staff into a temporary space no later than Monday.
"It's critically important," Tomaso said. "We are working with clients who are in distress and sometimes in crisis mode who very much depend on our services day in and day out."
The basement housed the child advocacy center, where victims of alleged crimes were interviewed in a kid-friendly setting. Staff says there's no question the space will offer that comfort again.
"We work very hard to make that a space that our kids feel comfortable in and very welcoming," Tomaso said. "It will be that way again, I have no doubt."
"There's no doubt we'll be back on our feet because there's a need for it in Saratoga County," Kelly said.
Tomaso says they hope to have the center's email and phone lines restored by the end of the week.
She says they'll eventually need donations of children's toys and furniture when the space is rebuilt. For information on how to donate, visit http://www.saratogacff.org/.

William J. Everett
In my teaching career I authored eight books and numerous articles in social ethics and religion. After over thirty years of academic work — in Germany, India, and South Africa as well as in the United States — I wanted to turn my hand to writing that was more poetic and expressive. I also wanted a more viable balance between my work with words and my work with wood, especially furniture for worship settings. For more about my woodworking, go to www.WisdomsTable.net, where you will also find galleries of artwork by my wife Sylvia, whose ancestors were the original inspiration for Red Clay, Blood River.

TURNINGS: Poems of Transformation
Like works in wood upon a lathe, these poems are word-turnings that reveal the inner grain of our human experience. They are bowls to catch our turnings of memory, conversion, falling in love, and passing through our seasons and the wrenching turns that mark our lives. Above all these turnings are a shout of praise, a murmur of wonder, a turning away from life as usual, a merciful re-turning to the songs, images and stories that move our lives.

Yesterday, I took a vacation day to recover from our not-so-annual corporate meeting here at our Medina, Ohio headquarters. Like all mid-week vacation days, this one still entailed some non-vacation activities, like getting my high-schooler to the bus stop across town (at 6:30 a.m.), running the two middle-schoolers through their morning routine and, when it was all done, celebrating with breakfast at a local restaurant with my wife and four-year-old twins.

text: OverviewBack to top of page Mad Hippie - Eye Cream - 15 ml. Code#:113261 Manufacturer:Mad Hippie Size/Form:15 ml. Packaged Ship Weight:0.20 Mad Hippie Eye Cream 15 ml (0.5 oz.) Mad Hippie Eye Cream is a rich, conditioning peptide eye cream that liberates your skin from wrinkles, swelling & discoloration by combining the most advanced peptides in skin care with the best natural antioxidants. Mad Hippie gives your skin just what it needs to look its best! Mad Hippie Eye Cream is a natural, revitalizing peptide face cream that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and creates smooth, healthy skin. Eyeliss - Triple peptide formula that reduces dark circles under the eyes. Works to strenghten capillaries & veins, while increasing lymphatic drainage & circulation. Effectively increases firmness and elasticity of skin, while reducing swelling. Regu-Age - Peptide complex that reduces dark circles and puffiness around the eyes by increasing micro-circulation, protecting integrity of collagen and elastic bundles, while also inhibiting the damaging effects of free radicals. Matrixyl 3000 - Naturally stimulates body's production of collagen & elastin, reducing wrinkles and giving skin a lifting effect. Matrixyl 3000 increases skin elasticity and tone, and has been shown to reduce deep wrinkle surface area by 45%, wrinkle density by 37% and skin roughness by 14%. Haloxyl - Dual peptide that reinforces firmness and tone while reducing inflammation and dark circles under the eyes by eliminating blood originated pigments responsible for discoloration and localized swelling. Chamomile Extract - Provides thin protective shield, while naturally soothing and calming the skin. Vitamin K - naturally aids in the healing of varicose veins, age spots, dark circles around the eyes, skin discoloration, sun damage & scarring. Retinyl Palmitate - Vitamin A derivative that increases metabolism of skin cells & aids in the natural production of collagen. Increases elasticity and thickness of skin, dramatically reducing the appearance of wrinkles, age spots & uneven tone, while healing and correcting past skin damage. Pomegranate - Potent antioxidant that is a high source of ellagic acid, a polyphenol that has been shown to inhibit the growth of skin cancer. Believed to also mediate the effects of ultraviolet rays & skin discoloration. Wheat Protein - Strengthens the skin, while helping to retain moisture. Works to tighten skin & increase elasticity, while toning and promoting healing. Vitamin B3 - Energizes cells while aiding in metabolism of glucose & synthesis of lipids.

Vitamin E - Contains powerful anti aging & anti carcinogenic properties. Reduces fine lines & wrinkles while it heals and protects skin from UV & free radical damage. How long does it take to start seeing the effects of Mad Hippie? The thing you have to remember about skin damage, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, is that they take many years to occur. Treating ailments of the skin through natural ingredients is the safest and most effective means, but one should not expect overnight results. Instead, expect to see marked improvements in 30-60 days, with the full results taking 90+ days. With continued use, you can keep your skin looking healthy, bright and beautiful, regardless of your age. Should I wear sunscreen while using Mad Hippie? Absolutely! If you are going to be out in the sun for more than a 10-15 minute stretch, it is a good idea to wear sunscreen. Look for sunscreens that are ALL NATURAL with physical blocking agents such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. The majority of the sunscreens that are not all natural contain chemical blocking agents such as oxybenzone (a chemical that absorbs through the skin and contaminates the bodies of 97% of Americans according to the CDC) and parabens (a hormone blocker that mimics estrogen) that can be more detrimental to the body than the sun itself. So remember when slathering up in sunscreen, GO ALL NATURAL. What are Peptides, and how do they work? Peptides are really the newest thing in anti-aging skin care, and due to their high cost & complexity, the effective actives are utilized in only the most premium skin care products. While there are a variety of different peptide complexes, some of the most prominent work in the following ways: Produce Collagen - Collagen, made up of long strands of amino acids, is really the main building block of skin, giving the skin its smooth and youthful appearance. As you age, collagen is lost, and this gives way to aged, wrinkled looking skin. When the long strands of amino acids in collagen are broken down, they create small chains commonly referred to as peptides. The presence of these peptides signal that it has lost collagen and the production of more necessary. One of the most effective peptides in skin care, Matrixyl 3000, works to mimic the appearance of this broken down collagen, causing your skin to naturally react by producing more collagen. This particular peptide complex has been shown in studies to be as effective as retinol at healing wrinkles and skin damage, while lacking the irritation and downtime that is often associated with retinoid products. Strengthen Capillaries & Increase Microcirculation - When it comes to caring for the delicate skin around the eyes, the peptide complexes Regu-Age & Eyeliss work to effectively increase lymphatic drainage and microcirculation by strengthening veins and capillaries, leading to a dramatic reduction in discoloration & swelling around the eyes. By protecting the integrity of elastin & collagen bundles (two essential elements of the skin), and minimizing the impact of free radical damage, these powerful peptides work to improve skin firmness and elasticity, giving the under eye region a lifting effect, while visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Increase Cellular Communication - The Dermal-Epidermal Juncture, responsible for the structural and functional integrity of the skin, begins to lose functionality around the age of 30. The dual peptide complex Syn-Tacks interacts with the most relevant proteins at the DEJ to dramatically increase cellular communication on a molecular level while also stimulating the production of Laminin V, Collagen type IV, VII, and XVII and Integrin Resulting in: improved structural integrity improved epidermal nourishment improved molecular communication within the skin Leading to: improved skin compactness reduced wrinkles increased skin tonicity increased skin firmness Where should I keep my Mad Hippie products? Mad Hippie products can be kept at room temperature wherever you would like. Avoid keeping your products in the heat or exposed to UV rays though. What order should I use my products in? If you are using Mad Hippie's full skin care line, apply the vitamin C serum 5 minutes after washing your face thoroughly. Wait 5 minutes after applying the serum & apply the creams. Apply the face cream to the entire face, including eye area, then apply eye cream beside and below the eyes—making sure to rub both creams in well, particularly around wrinkle prone areas. If just using the creams, wait 5 minutes after washing your face when skin is fully dry to apply. Mad Hippie is a small, all-natural skin care company that has it's roots in Portland, Maine, though they have recently migrated to Austin, Texas. Their goal has always been to make the safest, most effective products utilizing scientifically advanced actives coupled with Mother Nature's finest antioxidants. By combining more active ingredients at higher concentrations, they aim to improve overall health and beauty of your skin. Leaving out harmful chemicals, parabens, synthetic color and fragrance, Mad Hippie helps your skin achieve true harmony.

Now we all know that when you cut your finger or get a bite or a skin infection - your body will react with red skin and swelling, that's a normal inflammatory response that's all about healing. However, when inflammation goes rogue it can have catastrophic effects in the body - it's now being linked to diseases ranging from cancer to atherosclerosis.

DULUTH - It turns out the Duluth City Council did not follow the rules when it comes to Rank Choice Voting in the case of filling a former councilor's seat.
If they followed voting regulations, it should have been a tie between Joel Sipress and Kathy Heltzer.
According to Fair Vote Minnesota, the correct way to decide between the tie vote was a simple coin toss.
"I commend all of us for saying we have made a mistake and we have a chance to fix it," said council president Linda Krug.
Krug is looking to call a special council meeting sometime next week to decide if the vote should be reconsidered.

Protect Your Colon Part TwoDecember 11, 2014 Written by JP
There is often disagreement about the safety and validity of medical tests in the holistic, health community. Perhaps the best examples are the use of mammography to detect breast cancer and the PSA blood test to ferret out prostate cancer. However, colonoscopies tend to be less controversial for a number of reasons. Firstly, there really isn't any alternative, stand alone test currently available. Secondly, the documented benefits of colonoscopies far outweigh the low risk of significant side effects. Lastly, as I stated in part one of this column, colonoscopies not only detect potential malignancies, they also remove questionable growths while still benign. For these reasons, integrative health experts such as Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Stephen Sinatra endorse this particular test.

Natural ADHD AlternativesDecember 4, 2014 Written by JP
A stunning new survey sponsored by the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids reports that 20% of all college students and roughly 15% of non-student young adults abuse stimulant medications. The legal drugs in question, intended to treat ADHD, include best sellers such as Adderall, Ritalin and Vyvanse. The most commonly cited reasons for the noted abuse include a desire to enhance academic or work performance and to stave off normal feelings of nighttime sleepiness. What's even more disturbing is that 28% of the young adults surveyed, aged 18 to 25, misrepresented the severity of their ADHD symptoms in order to attain higher dosages of these conditionally dangerous drugs. In addition, the practice of selling and/or sharing said medications with family, fellow students and friends is quite common.

Prescription 2014: More MagnesiumOctober 20, 2014 Written by JP
Many people aren't getting enough magnesium (Mg) in their daily diets and through basic supplementation. Now, you might think you're not one of those people. But, recent studies reveal that magnesium deficiency is surprisingly common. Sometimes it's even present in otherwise healthy young adults and in those who take multivitamin/mineral supplements. What's more, certain popular medications, including those used to treat gastric reflux or GERD often contribute to a lack of magnesium or hypomagnesemia.

Prescription 2014: Natural Remedies Check UpSeptember 10, 2014 Written by JP
In modern times, the concept of preventive medicine has been widely embraced by virtually all branches of the health care system. Perhaps the most common example is the recommendation to get an annual physical exam. The idea behind a yearly "check up" is to find developing health issues early on and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of longer term treatments which may require adjustments. Periodically, this very same practice can and should be applied to natural health routines as well.

Prescription 2014: Supplement Your BrainAugust 14, 2014 Written by JP
It's rare to find someone who is entirely satisfied with how their brain functions. Some people have periodic or persistent episodes of "brain fog". Others find themselves prone to distraction. Also, complaints about sluggish cognitive processing and memory recall are commonplace in my consulting work. Then, there are those who are relatively pleased with their mental acuity, but would be even happier to have an added edge. In all of these cases and more, certain supplements can make a difference above and beyond the basic measures that most people employ to stay healthy.

Question: I've read that an enzyme supplement called catalase helps reverse hair graying. I think this sounds too good to be true. But, I hope I'm wrong! What's your opinion about these products?
Answer: For starters, let's briefly review what causes the graying of hair and the potential role of catalase. The loss of melanin, a pigment which colors hair, is partially induced by a build up or overproduction of hydrogen peroxide in hair follicles. Catalase, an antioxidant enzyme produced by the body, helps convert hydrogen peroxide into two, non-bleaching substances – oxygen and water. This is the rationale for some of the supplements you've likely seen. However, it should be noted that there are other enzymes (MSR A and B) which also affect melanin production and tend to decline with age. For this reason, L'Oreal, the cosmetic giant, is currently developing a supposedly all-natural supplement which targets yet another hair graying mechanism – tyrosine-related protein TRP-2 production.

A Tale of Two MacasJuly 28, 2014 Written by JP
Many holistically-minded consumers have heard of and/or tried Maca – a root vegetable belonging to the mustard family which has been used medicinally for thousands of years in the Andean region of South America. In health food stores, you'll frequently find it in supplements intended to support athletic performance, hormonal regulation and virility. In addition, Maca powder is sometimes featured in juices and smoothie concoctions for added nutrition and unspecified health benefits. In essence, Maca has taken on a similar reputation as ashwagandha or ginseng, as an adaptogen which promotes balance in various systems in the body. However, not all Maca products are created equal.

Pumpkin Seed OilJuly 20, 2014 Written by JP
The number of scientific studies devoted to specific natural remedies and traditional foods is difficult to predict. For instance, it's possible to have a few to several studies published in one year and then virtually nothing more for another decade. Certainly, this is partially due to economics. Big cash crops and patented products tend to receive more scientific attention because of funding and financial interests. On the other hand, more generic herbs and nutraceuticals often fall into the previously mentioned, erratic pattern of research. Pumpkin seed oil is an example of the latter.

EpiCor Supplement ReviewJune 12, 2014 Written by JP
One of the ongoing controversies in the field of integrative medicine is the role of patented nutraceuticals. Conventional minerals and vitamins are sold by many different companies. Often times, there are distinctions in the dosages and forms of the nutrients, but apart from that, they are consistent from brand to brand. However, certain manufacturers develop products that are conceived and tested independently. They're subsequently patented in order to protect the proprietary end result. The beneficial aspect of this process is that many of these nutraceuticals have been subjected to controlled studies that assess their efficacy and safety. The downside of patented supplements is the price tag, which is almost always significantly costlier than generic counterparts.

Chronic Cough AlternativesJune 1, 2014 Written by JP
The so-called "common cold" usually comes and goes in an expected, generic manner. You're congested for a few days, you sneeze and your throat aches for a week tops. In most cases, it's not a big deal and requires little or no medical intervention. But, for some, a lingering cough can stick around long after the cold exits stage right. There are several reasons why this typically occurs including bacterial infections, chronic irritation of the airways and/or overuse of nasal decongestant sprays – more than three days.

Natural Products Expo West 2014 Part ThreeMarch 25, 2014 Written by JP
My third and final installment of news from the Natural Products Expo West focuses on a category of products known as "functional foods". Basically, these are beverages, ingredients or packaged foods that are fortified with nutrients, phytochemicals and pre- or probiotics. In essence, they're a hybrid of dietary supplements and healthy foods. The idea is to take an already wholesome food and increase its therapeutic potential by adding ingredients that aren't normally present.

Natural Products Expo West 2014 Part TwoMarch 19, 2014 Written by JP
One of the surprises at this year's Natural Products Expo West was a relative lack of innovative supplements. Don't get me wrong, there were hundreds of new products on the convention floor. And, certainly I didn't have the chance to evaluate each and every one of them. But, when I applied my gold-standard test to the products I saw there, only one stood out as a new supplement that I would recommend to clients, family and friends.

Prescription 2014: Stronger ImmunityFebruary 27, 2014 Written by JP
Nobody wants to be slowed down by a cold, flu or any host of infectious diseases we hear about in the news or meet firsthand in our daily lives. But, finding reliable information about natural ways to bolster immunity isn't always easy. Conventional doctors are often clueless, and anecdotal remedies from family and friends can certainly be hit-or-miss. Fortunately, there really are some scientifically proven changes you can make to your diet, lifestyle and supplement regimen that can strengthen your resistance to communicable diseases.

Tendonitis RemediesNovember 4, 2013 Written by JP
A reader asks: "I've had recurrent bouts of tendonitis in my elbow and shoulder. When I go to see my doctor about it, he usually recommends Advil or Aleve to manage the pain and swelling. But, I don't like to take these types of drugs. Are there are any natural remedies that I can use to reduce tendon pain and speed the recovery process?".

Fish Oil MedicineOctober 30, 2013 Written by JP
One of the strengths of evidence-based, natural medicine is confidence. As a consultant, educator and writer, I have confidence about my positions because they're backed by peer-reviewed, scientific evidence. Therefore, I'm not just one lonely voice making an impassioned argument. Rather, I'm part of a collective of voices that uses documented facts and findings to further the cause of natural health care. This very same philosophy can be used by individuals who have no particular interest in working in the field of medicine. In fact, it can work equally well for anyone who simply wishes to incorporate more natural remedies into their treatment program.

H. Pylori Integrative CareSeptember 11, 2013 Written by JP
If you walk into your doctor's office with symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, frequent burping and heartburn you will likely be evaluated for a potential H. pylori infection. This common bacterium can, but does not always, cause unpleasant symptoms. However, if symptoms do arise, it's important to address the infection in order to protect against chronic stomach inflammation, ulcers , increased risk of stomach cancer and beyond. The most common treatment for Helicobacter pylori is a combination of three medications – two antibiotics and an acid suppressing drug.

Police officials say they have identified people of interest and are working with other agencies to locate them.
Officer Jeremy Romero's patrol car rolled over during the chase. He broke his back in the crash.
The Corrales police chief said Romero is being transferred to a Denver hospital that specializes in severe spinal cord injuries.

The Communist Takeover Of America – 45 Declared Goals
New Zeal
In the wake of President Obama's liberal Progressive second Inaugural speech, it is time for another look at greater underlying agendas and perhaps a time to remember that Progressivism = Socialism = Fascism = Marxism = Communism.
Ask almost anyone and you'll hear, "Communism is dead! The Berlin wall came down, the USSR is gone, China is our trading partner, the cold war is over…" That is one of the problems with America and the western world; we live in the now and our attention span and planning is short term unlike those in movements promoting Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Fascism, Progressivism (all the same), a New World or Globalist Order or beliefs like Islam.
Communist Goals
[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

The Democrat party was coopted by the communists sixty years ago. They've been pulling the Democrats further and further left ever since. Unfortunately, the GOP was caught up in the leftward wake and is being dragged to the left as well.

46. In the name of The Children®, enact gun registration, draconian restrictions, buybacks of "prohibited" weapons, magazine restrictions, cosmetic requirements to restrict all remaining weapons to single-shot rifles and shotguns. Finally, demand: "Mr. & Mrs. America, turn them all in." Then use the registration list to confiscate them all.
Even Skousen didn't foresee the actual extent of the takeover. But John Milius did. Dianne Feinstein is Col. Bella without the thread of humanity.+5
Go to U Tooob and search "cultural Marxism" it's frequently an eye opener if you're amazed by the progress the Commies have made. If you have any kids at or below college age, you really need to see that material before your kid is exposed to the environment that exists on most campuses today.+5
Well, at least we know which people will go down without a fight. The hard core Hollywood types like Michael Moore will be the Marxist useful idiots who will become the cruel toadies of their feared masters. No more expose' "journalism" for them, even if they should change their minds.
My left-leaning, ignorant neighbors will simply continue believing everything Madcow and Chris Tingles tells them.
The difference will be the militant far left, who are currently overplaying their hand. The most interesting part of these times is the very vocal and visible push back by average citizens. It's reassuring to see all the videos and read all the articles in defense of the second amendment.
On the heels of obama's inaugural speech and his overt call to take the U.S. in the direction he has mapped out, and given his current record on obstruction to a real recovery, his fanatical expansion of the government leading to vastly increased corruption, his usurping overreach of the executive, his outrageous family spending at the cost of the people, the many and obvious lies about gun running in Mexico, the Benghazi lie about a video tape, the crimes perpetrated by his DoJ including the Pigford case, allowance of voter intimidation, and the like. Then there is the president's personal past. For example, if there is real proof of his having used more than one social security number, why? And why is the president, a mere public servant who serves at the pleasure of the people able to flaunt his immunity of the law in such a fashion? Just because his state-approved media doesn't think it's news? When did that become the standard by which we live?
It's time to cut through all this nonsense. It's time to stop this insanity.
It's time to write or own King George letter.
It's time to impeach him.+4
"The State Department is infested with communists. I have here in my hand a list of 205, a list of names that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department." Joseph McCarthy Feb 9, 1950+4
What's even more amazing is that no conservative "leader" has stepped forward to tell patriotic Americans to stop funding their own destruction and to disobey all unconstitutional laws. This leads me to believe the republican party was also co-opted by the communist movement to act as token opposition.+7
I think that is an undeniable fact Billy.+2
Wilson was the first president to criticize the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Edward Bernays, an adviser to Wilson and participant in CPI operations, characterized the mission of CPI as the "engineering of consent" and "the conscious manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses." Goebbels took many queues from Bernays.
Thanks for the Conservative Colloquium link Alpha. It's a keeper and will be going out to my friends both Conservative and (ugh) Liberal.+1

All About Jazz: Berklee College of Music Announces First Ever Recepients of Music Scholarship
Five Recipients Chosen from Hundreds of Talented Musicians from Around the World
Boston, Mass., October 26, 2004 Berkleemusic.com, the online extension school of Berklee College of Music, today announced the recipients of the world's first-ever online music scholarship program. After reviewing applications and demos from talented musicians worldwide, five gifted musicians and future music industry leaders were selected that exhibited significant promise, achievement, and inspired life stories. Each recipient will receive a scholarship that is named after, and backed by, some of the most respected names in modern music: Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler, guitar virtuoso Steve Vai, acoustic guitar wizard Patty Larkin, composer Alf Clausen, and songwriter Tom Snow.
"The amount and quality of the applications we received for our scholarship program was truly astonishing," said Dave Kusek, Vice President of Berkleemusic.com, "We're thrilled to be able to offer access to Berklee's proven curriculum and world-renowned faculty to talented music students worldwide that otherwise wouldn't be able to attend our physical school."
Scholarships will be presented to recipients from Pakistan, South Africa, and three cities across the United States; and will include six online music courses, up to two years of study, at Berkleemusic.com as well as all necessary Berklee Press books required for those courses. Recipients will also be afforded the opportunity to enroll in Berkleemusic's NEASC-accredited college credit certificate programs, and earn college credit that they can transfer to their local college or university.
This year's scholarship recipients include:
Arooj Aftab; Steve Vai Scholarship – Born and raised in Pakistan, Arooj is an entirely self-taught female guitarist in a culture where opportunities for music study, especially for women, are severely limited. Arooj is planning to use her formal Berkleemusic education to develop her songwriting skills and ultimately change the way that female musicians are perceived in her native country.
Brett Richard Keintz; Tom Snow Scholarship – A Fulbright Scholar who resides in Madison, Wis., Brett has created a forward-thinking blueprint for a music company dedicated to addressing music piracy and furthering the development of the digital medium of music. Brett will use his Berkleemusic education to take an active role in developing a future business model for the music industry.
Timothy Peter Kroon; Steven Tyler Scholarship – At the age of 19, Timothy, who lives in South Africa, is an accomplished singer who has mastered guitar, bass, piano, violin, and drums. He has played in popular modern rock bands, professionally and non-professionally, since he was 14 years old. Timothy plans to focus his Berkleemusic scholarship on production courses that will sharpen his music engineering skills and allow him to become a more complete musician.
Monica Orth; Patty Larkin Scholarship – A resident of Lowell, Mass., Monica's career goal is to write and produce cutting edge electronic dance music. She began working on her first music project in October 2002 with no training. Soon after, Monica began taking drum lessons to learn about rhythm, and enrolled in piano lessons to gain a more complete understanding of melody and harmony. She is confident that her Berkleemusic scholarship will help her to ultimately make the transition from computer programmer to full-time musician.
Jose Luis Revelo; Alf Clausen Scholarship – A native of Columbia and world traveler, Jose now lives in Jersey City, NJ, and creates jingles and scores for some of the top music production houses in New York City. He pursued piano training at Panama's National Conservatory, and at the age of 13 landed a job at the top jingle house in Panama. He plans to use his Berkleemusic education to help him open his own music house in New York, where he will create music for commercials, scores for television and film, and songwriting and production for Latin artists.
