Each day our health care system demonstrates that it views us as a machine. Emotions, thought processes, memory, even our very soul may make us a miracle, but we are still defined in mechanistic terms which simply reinforces and justifies more automation.
Read MoreIt is in moments of solitude and silence that we receive knowledge about our lives, ideas about our future, realizations for our decision making and information about our health. So why do we ignore this most basic need?
Read MoreEvery woman that walks into the clinic has been told the same thing by their physician ... take more calcium. Particularly post-menopausal women have been programmed to think that calcium is the key to their bone health.

Hopefully you have a friend, partner, family member, young cousin who could help, but when the saturation point exists within our own body, we can't just hand our symptoms off to a friend or family member.
