Halloween Candy - Keep It For The Kids

Posted 10-12-2011 at 09:38 AM by kind2creatures (NatMedTalk and Beyond)

Ideally, we would all give out healthy treats for the trick or treaters each year like fresh fruits, natural fruit 'leathers', natural licorice or small toys, tattoos, etc.

Realistically, kids like to get candy for Halloween. Since it's mainly women who buy, store and hand out all those 'fun sized' chocolate bars, they often fall into the sinkhole of overindulgence. Yes, I've been guilty of it too, although I have much more control than I did years ago.

Many gals who...

Women - "Me Time", Make It Happen!

Posted 10-09-2011 at 04:18 PM by kind2creatures (NatMedTalk and Beyond)

Lots of women are stressed out to some degree physically, emotionally and mentally...and rightfully so! It's very important to give yourself some very needed "me time", no excuses, make it happen!

Little things that don't cost very much can give women the necessary time to regroup, exhale and relax. Life is too short to deny yourself of this tiny luxury which you so much deserve.

Take a walk alone in the outdoors if possible, a slow leisurely one. Go to the...

Informative Health Forum = Natural Medicine Talk

Posted 09-27-2011 at 01:27 PM by kind2creatures (NatMedTalk and Beyond)

Natural Medicine Talk is the most informative health forum that I've come across on the web. Since I joined this forum, I've been amazed with all the information presented here. Knowledge on the forum is abundant, and it's the best place for researching all things health related.

One aspect that separates NatMedTalk from the rest of the forums or groups out there is that, if there is information given that you don't quite understand, the members are more than happy to explain things...

Health Forums - Big Spam Targets!

Posted 09-24-2011 at 04:20 PM by kind2creatures (NatMedTalk and Beyond)

Health forums, such as Natural Medicine Talk, are very inviting targets for spammers. Some people are paid just to get links 'out there', whether they're for products, services or website promotions. Many are from other countries outside of the United States.

Spamming can be done directly, or in a more sneaky way, indirectly. They post "leading" messages which forum members reply to, and once they're comfortable on the forum and 'trusted' by the other members posting on the...

Posted 07-15-2011 at 08:58 PM by kind2creatures (NatMedTalk and Beyond)

They are referred to by many names such as "flamers" or "hijackers", but a troll is a troll. Below are just some of the characteristics and intentions of an average forum troll.

-When trolls initially join a discussion forum, they will typically post an unusually large number of messages, which is known as "flooding".

Negativity tied to Pain

Posted 06-09-2011 at 02:02 AM by Ted_Hutchinson

Study finds negativity tied to physical pain

For placebo effects in medicine, seeing is believing.

Baby Robin Today

Posted 05-30-2011 at 08:10 PM by kind2creatures (NatMedTalk and Beyond)

I have pine and spruce trees in my backyard, and every spring there's lots of chirping from the local birds. I love springtime and watching the birds, but unfortunately there's usually a baby bird that gets tossed from its nest and ends up in my yard. Sometimes my dogs will get to it before I even know it's there. Other times, I'm able to locate the nest, and with the help of my husband, we place the baby back in its nest, and hope for the best.

Lately, I've notice that the larger...
