Taking time away from the stresses of life will give you a well deserved break. By doing so, you will return to your life feeling refreshed and better equipped to handle whatever comes your way. Sadly, many people have forgotten what it is like to have a few uncluttered days to relax and regroup. Below are some reasons why regular vacations are a good idea.
Vacations Stave Off Burnout: Workers who take regular time to relax are less likely to experience burnout, making them more creative and productive than their overworked, under-rested counterparts.
Vacations Can Keep Us Healthy: Taking regular time off to ‘recharge your batteries’, thereby keeping stress levels lower, can keep your immune system functioning at a higher level.
Vacations Can Strengthen Bonds: Spending time enjoying life with loved ones can keep relationships strong, helping you enjoy the good times more and helping you through the stress of the hard times. In fact, a study by the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services found that women who took vacations were more satisfied with their marriages.
Vacations Can Help With Your Job Performance: As the authors of the above study suggest, the psychological benefits that come with more frequent vacations lead to increased quality of life, and that can lead to increased quality of work on the job.
Those of you that have forgotten the joys of being on a vacation.
I’m frequently asked my opinion on the causes of Autism. If you are reading this, you are probably painfully aware of how controversial this topic is. Most of the controversy is centered around vaccination.
As a physician, I try to look for the “obvious” cause first. I find it amazing how often the “obvious” is overlooked. You know the saying, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. It’s probably a duck. The component in the vaccine that is the most controversial, is Thimerosal, which is a mercury compound. What do we know about mercury? Mercury is a “known” neurotoxin. Meaning it is toxic to the nervous system. This cannot be good for an infant’s developing brain and nervous system.
I always advise new parents to ask a lot of questions when contemplating vaccinating their children. Here are three “extremely” important ones:
If my child is vaccinated, can they still contract the illness or disease they are being vaccinated against?
If my child is vaccinated, can the vaccine possibly cause neurologicaldamage?
If my child is vaccinated, could he or she become deathly ill?
If you have an Autistic child, you now realize the importance of the above questions. If you are a new parent, it is your obligation to become informed. Your child is voiceless in this matter.

Have you noticed tingling or numbness in your pinkie and ring finger? Do you typically hold your cell phone to your ear using that same hand? If you answered yes to these questions, you are probably developing Cell Phone Elbow!
I knew that it was only a matter time, before chronic cell phone users would begin damaging an essential nerve in their arms by bending their elbows too tightly for too long. When cell phone users hold the phone to their ears, they stretch a nerve that extends underneath the funny bone and controls the smallest fingers. When they talk for long periods of time in that position, it chokes the blood supply to the nerves. It makes the nerves m-a-l-f-u-n-c-t-i-o-n. The next thing you know, there’s tingling in the ring and small finger. People who have this condition, which is technically called Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, can feel weakness and clumsiness in their hands.
My best advice is simple, if you have Cell Phone Elbow or you feel you are developing it, buy a Blue Tooth device, note example to your right. They fit behind your ear and are simple to use. Within days you should notice the tingling in your fingers fading away.
