I want to introduce my brother Tony, who’s primary concern and preoccupation other than his wife and family is now all about concern for Your Feet’s Sake. As Tony says “If your feet aren’t healthy, neither is the rest of you!”

As a young man Tony practiced sports like hockey, soccer and then squash, with a sprinkling of running. He performed all the forms of exercise that are hardest on the knees. He was also constantly plagued with knee problems. Until he met his wife Linda. Linda owned a foot orthotics practice and she wooed Tony with a pair of orthotics. Soon his knee problems
resolved. Tony was so impressed with

Linda’s orthotics that he left his successful real estate practice. He determined he would have a more fulfilling and satisfying occupation in orthotics. Tony discovered he had an affinity for the science and the creative aspects of making orthotics.
As Tony’s rational sister I figured he had lost his senses because he was so in love. But together Tony and Linda proved me wrong and built up a very successful orthotics practice. Then they made a pair of orthotics for me.

The new world of consumer-driven healthcare is opening up many opportunities for people to save money on their medical expenses. As more people carry high deductible plans in conjunction with health savings accounts, medical providers are beginning to compete for that business in a variety of innovative ways. One way many people are saving money on doctor visits is through telephone consultations.

Many times an expensive doctor visit could be avoided if you could just talk to the doctor to discuss the situation over the phone. If you could do a quick email exchange and have a prescription waiting for you at the pharmacy, you could save time and money, and let the funds in your Health Savings Account

continue to grow for your retirement. There are now online physician consultation services that allow you to do just that.

Autism syndrome is a complicated disorder which affects every race, ethnic group and socioeconomic status and it can be diagnosed in children as 18 months old. A parent becomes concerned when his child may lack eye contact, be deaf or avoids interacting with others and by going to a doctor he will learn that he has a child with autism syndrome. A child can show this behaviors after birth or when he grows older.

Parents and care givers must ensure a brighter future for the children with autism syndrome because there are clear social disparities in healthcare and education. Studies have consistently reported black autistic children were diagnosed later or received more misdiagnoses than whites. If the children have

different colors that doesn’t mean that autism syndrome symptoms are different.

In 1990, Dr. Diana Schwarzbein, M.D. joined a famous diabetic clinic in Santa Barbara, California. She found that the diabetics at this clinic were struggling to keep their blood sugar down and complained that they were often accused of cheating when they were not. She suspected that the FDA diet wasn t having the desired results with her patients. After listening to their stories I thought, My God, we are making diabetics worse! she later wrote in her book, The Schwarzbein Principle.
