Do Not Kill a Fever: Fever Kills Viruses

According to a study printed in the Palm Beach Post, the average flu when medicated to reduce fever lasts an average of 7 to 10 days. If a person just rests, without medication, the average flu lasts 1 to 3 days.

Yours in Health
Dr. Barry

Dr. Michael Dardano, Holisitic Physician

Well, just when we thought things couldn't get any better, (and THAT'S what we get for THINKING!) in walked Dr. Michael Dardano, DC, MSN.

He is a talented holistic doctor, with a full background in Structural Health as a Chiropractor... but that's just the beginning. He also has Masters in Nutrition with extensive advanced training in Mind/Body Medicine and Energy Healing (using light and sound). He is already helping us feel better!

He will be practicing with us Monday, Wednesday and Fridays (by appointment).

Watch for articles by Dr. Michael both on our BLOG and our forth-coming newsletters, and please come by to meet him. He brings so much expertise to our bountiful table!

Our New Chiropractor

Over the past several months we have been quietly and powerfully INTENDING that the perfect Chiropractor join our staff. We even knew it "wanted" to be a male, to create more balance in our awesome staff, as we only had (the very talented) Jason Latona to "anchor" that position so far. Lo and behold, enter Dr. Barry Weinberg, D.C. extraordinaire! Dr. Weinberg not only practices Wellness Chiropractic, he has also published several books on healing, is a great teacher/lecturer, and rounds out the Point Pleasant "family" beyond our wildest dreams.

We want you to come and meet him, attend his Thursday Night Lecture series, (free, so RSVP to reserve your seat!)and benefit from his pure commitment to help you be "Happier, Healthier, more Harmonious"..."one life at a time."

Swine Flu Prevention

I have had an intense amount of questions surrounding the swine flu, and what can be done naturally to prevent it. Fortunately, I have answers! There is a homeopathic flu remedy called Oscillococcinum that has bee around for decades, quietly doing the job. It is readily available at health food stores, and even some local pharmacies.
This remedy is fabulous, because it tastes great and can be used by all age groups.

To help prevent an onset of ANY flu, take 1/2 vial under the tongue at night for 3 nights in a row. As with all homeopathics, do not use mint toothpaste before or after taking the remedy. You can switch to baking soda for a few nights.

If you feel you might be coming down with a flu, take a full vial up to 3 times per day for at least 3 days. You also might consider supplementing with Echinacea, which stimulates the immune system. As with all natural products, take the Echinacea frequently throughout the day and evening, up to 6 times. Continue for at least 5 days. Additional helpers are Vitamin C (use Esther-C), zinc and vitamin D3. To your health!

Gluten-free Cooking Class Fun & Delicious

Last Saturday we had some serious fun in our kitchen, as Nikki Costello, Anthony Aliberti (our guest instructor) and I held the 2nd Gluten-free Cooking (and Eating!) Class.

The theme was Caribbean Food, and the coconut/mango salad that Nikki introduced was a major hit, as was the chilled salmon with salsa and Anthony's family recipe of a vegetable goulash. Nikki's black bean soup was a perfect match to start the meal with and to finish it off, we made Bananas Foster (yes, we lit our food on fire!) with rum. The kitchen was filled with excited happy people when we polished off the dessert. By the way, the next class's theme is Mexican Food...gluten and dairy free, of course!

Wellness Club

Our Wellness Club members have been busy taking advantage of the beautiful South Florida weather. The members of the walking team have been doing their weekly walks around the Sunrise Beach area, and a few of the cyclists have been riding up along A1A.

Several of our cycling members are currently riding in the MS 150 “Breakaway to the Keys” this May 2-3 2009. (See Events and Activities page to find out when they ride.) If you can’t join us, perhaps you’d like to support them or the team on their quest to raise awareness of MS.

Gehwol Article: Foot Smell - What Really Helps

Struggle with "foot smell"? Gehwol published an interesting article on a subject many of us are challenged with. You CAN battle the bacteria that causes "cheesy feet". This bacteria is ultimately the "decomposition of mainly sulphur and nitrogen compounds".

There is a product that can help! Read more about Gehwol Fusskraft Green with Deozinc and how it can help you (or someone you love) achieve well-being of the feet. Go to our Articles page and go to the link titles Foot Smell - What Really Helps.
