by Leisa on March 6, 2008

I just wanted to give everyone a head’s up about the not-to-be-missed March issue of my newsletter! Yesterday I spent over an hour talking with Dr. John Lowe, one of the world’s foremost experts on Fibromyalgia.  He was incredibly generous to spend so much time speaking with me about this debilitating condition; it’s underlying causes

by Leisa on March 3, 2008

Many a time I see a patient in clinic that suffers from quite severe food cravings that they have been unable to control.  Often it is a craving for carbohydrates in any form, whether it be a bread, sugar or alcohol addiction; or it may be for chocolate or other types of dairy products. There

And when we actually do that, we can find hundreds of things to be grateful for, and suddenly our seemingly ordinary life becomes something of wonder and

Is Commitment a Dirty Word?

There’s Nothing Accidental About Murder

by Leisa on February 7, 2008

When one person kills another through a genuine accident or through no fault of their own it is termed manslaughter.  When one person dies at the hands of another person who is knowingly in charge of a lethal weapon, it is murder. And this is what happened to Heath Ledger, murdered by the medical industry
