Hormone Therapy: Synthetic Progestins Are Not The Same As Progesterone

Christiane Northrup, MD | Posted November 24, 2009 | Living


It's 2002 all over again, and women are being warned against taking hormone replacement because of its link to breast cancer. Why is history repeating itself? Because we haven't learned an important lesson. Synthetic progestins are not the same as progesterone, and reporting on them as if they confer the...

What The Buddha Would Say To Sarah Palin

Ed and Deb Shapiro | Posted November 24, 2009 | Living


Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin has become a beacon of light to her devotees. There is no doubt she wants to do good and that her intentions are meaningful to many. When it comes to popularity she can also certainly sell books.

Words have power to destroy or heal. When...

The Harvard-Yale Game

Tina Sloan | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


The Harvard Yale football game is a microcosm of how the world has changed in my lifetime and yet has remained exactly the same. I have been going to THE GAME, as it is known to its students and alumni, since the early 1960s when I was in college. At...

Somebody Up There Likes Me

Jeffrey Shaffer | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


After many years of determined effort, I've achieved a solid, enduring relationship with my roof. I wonder how many other Americans can truthfully say the same thing?

The roof and I have been together since 1993. I didn't have any animosity toward the old one. It was made of cedar...

Great Artists Can Be Cads, But Can They Not Be?

Stanton Peele | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


I posted recently about two exceptional women - Hannah Arendt and Amy Wallace - who slept with gurus - Martin Heidegger and Carlos Castaneda - who despised and mistreated them, and yet the women remained in love until the day their gurus died.

But I didn't note another...

Thanksgiving Healthy Eating Tip: Slow Down

Darya Pino | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


Worrying about carbs, calories and diets is one of the most unproductive things you can do on a holiday that celebrates thankfulness. Instead of giving you a list of healthy side dishes or tips on how to cut out calories, this Thanksgiving I offer just a single piece of advice:...

Patrick Takahashi | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


[In July, the day after my wife passed away, The Huffington Post published my article on "Gratitude, Not Grief." With all the trauma now fading memories, I have entered a new and rather exciting phase of my life.]

For some of you looking for a reasonably safe adventure,...

Why We Dream And How To Rewrite Nightmares

Anne Hill | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


It has been a big month for dreams in the news, with the New York Times and the New Yorker both weighing in on the subject. First up, the Times reports on a new theory advanced by Dr. Allan Hobson, who says that dreaming exists as a "warm-up" state...

You Say You Believe In God: What Are You Willing To Do About It?

Lorraine Roe | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


So what is the point of vaguely believing in God energy, but not interacting with it? I just have to ask. Over and over again I meet people who say they have a feeling God exists. But then they don't take it any further. Is it just that if God...

Binge-Eating Should Be Recognized As A Psychiatric Disorder

A Compulsive Overeater | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


When I was five years old, I ate whole boxes of the Girl Scout Cookies I was supposed to sell to my neighbors. When I was seven, I started stealing blocks of cheese from our groceries and telling my mom she forget them at the store. When I was in...

How Habits Can Make Or Break Us

Russell Poldrack | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


We've all done it: We leave the house with the intention of driving to the dry cleaners, and then minutes later find that we forgot to make the right turn and instead ended up at the office. The universal nature of this kind of "auto-pilot" experience shows just how powerful...

The Cancer Vixen Mission: No Breast Left Behind

Marisa Acocella Marchetto | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


Ever since I kicked that bitch cancer's bony ass, I've been pretty fearless. And feistier than ever.

So when The United States Preventive Services Task Force said Monday that women should start regular breast cancer screening at age 50, not 40, and that doctors should stop teaching women to examine...

What Spirituality Has To Do With The Health Care Debate

Paul DeBell | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


As a practically minded psychiatrist, I have developed a great tolerance and deep sympathy for human foibles. Even when our choices don't make sense to anyone else but us and cause us great pain, we still don't change them very easily. Yet, despite this level of understanding, I still can't...

Stop. Think. And Delegate: Ways Guests Can Help at Thanksgiving

Steve Poses | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


There's some misguided moral notion--perhaps a hangover from that first Puritan Thanksgiving--that working to the point of fatigue is good for you. Wrong. You already work hard enough.

If you're hosting, you've opened your home to friends and family for this holiday and you've probably taken on the lion's share...

Adopting A New Attitude

Peggy Drexler | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


They used to tell adopted children that they were special because they'd been chosen. I've told my adopted child that I don't believe that. Neither adoption nor birth conveys status to a child. What makes any child special is the love developed in the act of caring for -- and...

Mike Robbins | Posted November 23, 2009 | Living


Fear is something that we all experience throughout our lives, especially on our journey toward deeper authenticity.  Being who we really are, expressing ourselves honestly, being bold, and going for what we want in life can cause a great deal of fear in us.

I get scared all the time. ...
