What is the journey of your days? We love to get out into nature and put our feet to the ground as we relieve stress and exercise our physical body. Are you engaging with the nature and life around you when you run, walk or jog or are you doing it just to shut out life’s issues, anger and frustration? Running, feet on the ground, grounding with the earth, being able to engage with the earth experience as the human experience, and also dancing with the energies; we are running and dancing at the same time. We are now free…

What do we believe now? The year is 2020; what do you believe about the energy or the creator of existence? Religion in the past had a purpose to hold us together in troubled times, give us rules to coexist peacefully and ways to be good people by respecting others. Today, we are having a unique conversation about creating a dialogue with God as our spiritual being that guides us. Many have run far and wide to get away from the concept of religion, God, and all that it entails. If we are running away from the past dogma, what…
Copyright 2010 Out of the Box Healthcare All Rights Reserved Notice anything in this picture? We did. We thought perhaps the bird just had it’s leg up or it was turned. So we decided to check our other five photos of the same birds. We discovered that the same two birds had only one leg. Yet, if you were not looking for it, you would not have noticed it. So, if you are in a group of people, do you know all there is to know about them? Are they standing on one foot? If you walk down your…
Ask yourself: the healthcare community always teaches: ‘do not get involved in the patients’ personal life. You are here to help them with the situation at hand. Do not ask about other situations, since that is not what they are asking.’ No wonder many patients are not healing, physicians are working to ‘fix’ them, to change the outcomes, to remedy the situation presented in front of them. Ahhh, but is that always what we are asking them when we go into their office? A pain in the head may start as a headache medication, then later an MRI to rule…
Copyright 2010 Out of the Box Healthcare Looking at the recent lunch prepared for the young children on the reality show Food Revolution, let’s see how to make improvements. Questions to ask: Do children this age need all that food set in front of them? Perhaps that is why so much hits the trash? Their stomach is the size of their fist and the food on their tray is the size of how many grown men’s fists; too much food! How many calories were on that tray?? A full apple? A large burrito? There were requirements for the types of…
In an area of the country where the majority of the population is unfit, unhealthy and uninsured, you wonder. What are they thinking? Well, they are not thinking, it is just that! The area is well known for its abundant and diverse food choices, it’s laid back attitude and lifestyle and its cultural influences. Right, let’s translate that: lots of food, cooked the way they want, doing what they want, when they want, and how they want, and old habits do not get changed. Try changing that attitude!! I recently had a chance to notice: if given the choice of…
Just as reported in the recent news, the test is not new, nor is the application. So why do so few people actually get the hs-CRP? Well, yes, payment, that is one issue. Medicaid does not pay for this test if there is not a pre-existing symptom or disease that requires it to be run. It is not done routinely with any healthcare policies, however, it may, may, be covered by some insurance policies. It is not listed as a preventative blood test, similar to how you may think of as mammogram or colonoscopy. Further, if you do not have…

Today, my radio show guest was Mark Mueller, the President of Immuno-Viva which is a company that provides nutrient dense health supplements.
