Qigong for Health

by Kim Duess

I am always looking for new health modalities to incorporate into my preventive health ‘program’ (aka Life!).  The most recent addition is Qigong which I love! I am currently taking a 6 week Qigong workshop where we learn exercises which can be done at home.  After doing these exercises, I feel serene, grounded, healthy and [...]

I just had a Twitter question about a good multivitamin so I thought I’d put up a quick post! I stopped taking a multivitamin a few years ago because of conflicting information floating around. I just wasn’t sure that I needed to take one. Then I read Breakthrough, got a preventative health doctor and learned [...]

I had another question from a reader who was wanting to know what natural remedies she should use for arthritis pain.  My TCMD (Traditional Chinese MD), Jane, gave me some info today that will help with joint pain: Bromelain (I am taking for my post knee surgery pain/inflammation and it is great!!) Acupuncture (it works [...]

My physiotherapist (& now my new friend!) lent me a fantastic book called Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. I am always talking about new and innovative health ideas and she thought that I’d like the info in this book. Well – she was right!! WOW! This book is just incredible.

I had a question from a reader who was diagnosed with Lupus.  They were wondering if I’d come across natural remedies to help with joint pain. I found some great info on Dr. Mercola’s website which I posted: Omega-3 Fats Can Improve Lupus Symptoms http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/04/26/lupus.aspx One Man’s Triumph Over Raynaud’s Syndrome, Lupus and RA with [...]

Here is my first You Be Healthy video!  It is a short clip of me on the windtrainer (my mountain bike on spinners) at day 12 after knee surgery. My rehab is going at record speed according to my surgeon! This is the low down on what I am doing: Using my regular supplements, plus [...]

I have a very cute 8 month old nephew and, therefore, I am much more aware of the ‘baby world’!  There is a lot to learn and one of the most important things to pay attention to is what goes into their little bodies. My nephew is lucky enough to have parents who are extremely [...]
