Thank you for your questions and comments. Let's look more closely at the impending June 10th issue. We can talk about the pros and cons about vaccines all day long and it won't matter because if we don't click on the link and send our letters now, we stand to lose our freedom to have any choice whatsoever.

Part of my job is to provide education (facts) regarding health issues. I don't usually impose my personal belief system on anyone. But since you asked, Tina, the answers to your questions are 'yes' and 'yes'. It's about health issues AND health freedoms. I will detail:

East meets West in this extraordinary guide to natural healing by a prominent doctor of Chinese medicine and the author of Secrets of Longevity.

Dr. Mao's philosophy is simple: We all have a built-in healing ability, so why not try to activate it with natural means before we resort to drugs and invasive procedures? For the common cold, why not exploit the power of garlic, ginger, and the herb astragalus instead of taking cold medicine that simply replaces symptoms with side effects?

My grandmother Rosie has helped me thoughout my life because she opened up so many open doors for me. She had taught me how to be respsonible and to care for a person. I learned all these wonderful blessings from her Alzheimer's. She had indirectly taught me how to be responsible and to care for a person, this has helped me determine what i want to become and what i want to go to school for. I want to make an impact on other peoples lives like the impact on my grandmothers life, and this is my story.

Caring For My Grandmother

37

Nearly 6 years ago I had a hectic job and fantastic health insurance. I never got sick. Maybe a fake flu, but those were just moments when I needed a desperate day off.

Then my Grandfather died and my Grandmother was left all alone in a nursing home. Her health seemed fine, but she seemed constantly agitated. A quick look at her prescriptions horrified me: she was on a cocktail of basically uppers and downers. Her local doctor was one of those jerks that had zero patience for geriatric care.

(HealthDay News) -- People with early-stage Alzheimer's disease may fear losing their independence and being reliant on someone else.

Here are suggestions on how to maintain independence longer, courtesy of the Alzheimer's Association:

* Hire a service or ask a friend to help with activities, such as paying bills, cooking meals, cleaning the house or going to the grocery.
* Write instructions on how to work appliances, place labels on items you frequently forget, and compose notes to help you remember to perform certain tasks.
