Humor! Cambridge University is looking for a ‘Chocolate Lover’

We've always known the British adore their sweets. Look at their dental
records. The British love of chocolate has a long and storied history
going back to the obvious similarities between the Stonehenge monuments
and the popular Cadbury's Dairy Milk® chocolate bar. The outer wrappers
have long since been weathered away but when the sun rises during the
summer solstice you can discern part of the ingredients label and some
bits of foil.

How did the Brits come to be a chocoholic nation?

Providing Easy Public Access to Prescription Drug, Over-the-Counter Drug, and Biological Product Labeling

Every prescription drug (including biological drug products) approved by
FDA for human use comes with FDA-approved labeling. The labeling
contains information necessary to inform healthcare providers about the
safe and effective use of the drug for its approved use(s). Once a
prescription drug is approved, the labeling may be updated as new
information becomes available, including, for example, new approved
uses, new dosing recommendations, and new safety information. Thus, the
approved labeling is a "living document" that changes over time to
reflect increased knowledge about the safety and effectiveness of the
drug.

Identification for Your Pet – It’s a Must!

Each day, we meet people who are desperately looking for their pets,
which for whatever reason have been lost from their control. The
standard question asked of these individuals is, "Was your dog/cat
wearing a collar and tag?" and the answer given far too often is, "No, I
had just given the dog/cat a bath, and had not put the collar back on."
All that comes to mind is how clean our stray population must be.
History has shown that a much larger scale of these events can be found
each time a hurricane strikes and devastates an area.

Pain Management without Drugs or Surgery

An article I read stated that 1 out of 4
people live with chronic pain. 1 out of 4, that to me is a staggering
number of people, and what it says about our lives is interesting. While
admittedly there are some situations that require the use of medication
and/or surgery as a means for pain control, these methods are highly
overused and often create more problems than they solve. The many
turning to traditional medicine to cure their aches and pains may not
realize that there are ways to naturally produce pain relief just by
manual manipulation of the body.

Neuromuscular Therapy: An Effective treatment for Sciatic Nerve Pain

Sciatica is usually caused by disc
herniation in the lower lumbar region and it is generally due to injury
of the lower back. The symptoms of sciatic nerve pain can range from
mild and acute to debilitating and chronic. The most important step to
alleviating this type of pain, in either case, is immediate treatment.
It has been reported that more than 80% of the U.S. population suffers
from lower back pain at one point during their lifetime and more than 3
million ER visits in the U.S. alone are related to it each year.
