This last weekend, I spent Saturday on the bike for 40 miles doing basically hill after hill…after hill. Sunday, I went out for a run (Well, actually, a wog- click here for info on that!) on those same hills, for another ~12 miles. I also spent almost an hour in my Normatec compression boots on…
Spice (K2, or Fake Marijuana) is the center of focus again, with 2 people dead in the Chicago area, and another 56 suffering from severe bleeding after using Spice. What is ‘Spice’? This is a synthetic marijuana that can mimic the ‘high’ from marijuana. It can be sprinkled into other smoke-ables (such as cigarettes) or…
Cases of flu nationwide are on a downturn, though we are still well above the number of cases that would be typical for this time of year. Hospitalizations last week continued to go up with people that had already been exposed and become ill. However, most of the lab samples now are showing a different flu bug. Up…
As a pharmacist, I am always hearing about how manufactured drugs are bad and ‘all natural plant derived’ drugs are wonderful. Pharmaceuticals have gotten a really bad rap. Folks tend to forget the entire reason for pharmacology in the first place was to find plant derived medicinals and, when necessary, figure out a way to…
It seems so simple. Chapstick. But it is a lifesaver at about mile 60-75, when your chamois cream has worn away and you discover new seams in your riding shorts or cycling shoes that never before wreaked havoc with your skin. I have my favorite chamois cream- I make my own, actually. There are also…
It’s getting better, bit by bit. But better is relative. With the huge wave of flu that hit the USA this year, the decrease in numbers leaves us still well above the epidemic thresholds for deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza, and with 9 more children dying this past week. Our hospital beds still have…
The flu cases have come way down in the last couple of weeks. And that is great news! What’s NOT so great is that the flu is no longer the fear-rocket that it was, so the media isn’t really headlining much about it anymore. There are more glamorous, sexy stories for them to attract viewers….
That was some awesome food. And music. In the valley, it is hard to find actual, true, real live Cajun food. But Baby Kay’s does it just right. From gumbo to court bouillon (Coo Be-Yawn), the flavors are deep, soulful, and the portions filling. They don’t skimp on the roux or the rice, so don’t…
Next flu season. It should scare you. A lot. Why? Because I have heard so many people say the flu shot ‘didn’t work’ this year, so why bother taking it next year? If larger numbers of people don’t get the vaccine, depending on how nasty the flu bug is next year, larger numbers of sick…
