The Benefits and Dangers of Natural Health

Happy Wellness Everyone,       Today I believe is going to be an awesome day filled with good positive energy.  I want to share something with you that I believe is important in public health.  As a public health practitioner, I am seeing more people come into the emergency room (ER) due to herb tonic and conventional method combinations.  Natural health tonics and/or fresh herbs DO NOT just treat one issue but it treats many issues all at once.  This can pose a danger to people who rely on conventional (allopathic) and herbs as a mode of healing.  Combining the two can become deadly in some cases depending on the remedy and strength.  For example, aloe vera is used to treat systematic inflammation, rashes and burns, and it is also used as a stomach reliever (GERD). However, using this tonic if you are pregnant can be devastating (spontaneous abortion).       Another example, natural tonics that co...

Positive Workforce

Happy Wellness to Everyone, Today is going to be an awesome day filled with good positive energy. You know when I worked on someone else's clock, I was told that you only get promoted by people you know and not what you know. What do you believe? I personally believe it can go either way but for the majority its what you know. Check this out, people who educate themselves daily in efforts to increase their productivity on the job and bring new skills sets to the market place will most likely save the company money and time in the long run. Get involved in your progress, do not become complacent, enlarge your knowledge and build on it. I do not care if you are the housekeeper learn the cleaning solutions, find out the best safe practices in that area that will keep everyone safe, or take a push assignment (extra duty) and discover new products that will get the job done at a cheaper price. Do not be afraid to teach other employees along the way on how to perform their j...

Remembering the Past and Focusing on the Future

Happy Wellness Gang, It is a joy to do what you love.  The recent deaths and disappointments can really put a damper on our lives.  It almost seems that we begin to think what is going to happen in the future with our country and in our individual profession.  All that I can say is live life to the fullest as long as it does not hurt anyone or yourself.  Explore the world, explore your gifts and talents, or your dream to help inspire others.  One word of thought, when you being to sit in your rocking chair and you look over your life, what will it be?  Think about it.  Take care and be in good health. - Dr. A 

Research in Gerontology

“Health Services as a Health Promotion Intervention of Geriatric Patient in Low-income Neighborhoods” Happy Wellness to Everyone,       Getting some experience in researching something that I have a little passion for makes the research more personal.  The research I plan to do is related to the field of gerontology.  The research design will comprise of two models in which I find it pertinent to the study, the action research model and the environmental and holistic research theory.  I believe this will become the foundations of my research study in the future.  According to Taneli (2015), a theoretical framework that has informed much of the research in environmental gerontology in the past four decades has been proposed by Lawton and Nahemon (1973).  The foci portion of the research is to associate aging with the adaption to environmental factors.       In my study, I want to look at the medical and we...

Reprogramming Your Frontal Matter

Happy Wellness Everyone, It is such a beautiful day even though the day has just begun. Did you know that spoken words at the beginning of the day can forecast the events that will take place. Studies show that words that are spoken can impact the emotional state of a person. For example, if I said that today is going to be a good day, the chemicals (Serotonin and dopamine) in my brain will start to secrete causing me to stay positive and happy. However, those that speak negative about their day tend to become depressed and have high incidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even most likely to contract colds and flu more often then their counterparts. There is much more research that needs to be done in this area of psychology but it is promising. It may seem silly but reward yourself with a positive quote or two each morning and meditate on the passage. The passage can be a bible scripture or a philosophical quote from the great intellectuals....

The Healing Power of Flowers

Happy Wellness to Everyone, Did you know that flowers can promote healing. Flowers can filter the air especially when someone is ill, flowers may add a good aesthetic feel to the room to welcome peaceful energy, and flowers can even promote healing through the senses of the nostrils (aroma therapy). Flowers may also lower blood pressure, stress, and other chronic pathological diseases. I person ally enjoy flowers and enjoy having them around. Yes, I have other plants and I do talk to them. Call it strange but my plants live longer and they grow. Plants and flower do have the ability to feel happy, cry, and scream/warn other plants around them. Let you plants know what you are going to do and that you care. Try having flowers on your home. Take care and be in good health
