Path to Homestead: Spring into action 2025
Over the Winter, we reflect on the year that has passed and look forward to the year to come. In the last path to homestead post, we discussed pivoting from pigs to sustainable agriculture (hügelkultur and greenhouses for vegetables and fruit trees). This post is to detail the progress and the successes we are seeingContinue reading “Path to Homestead: Spring into action 2025”
National Health Awareness: Public Health April 2025
The month of April brings awareness to many specific conditions (the full list is at the end). The separation of politics from science, religion, law, and medicine would be ideal, but human biases are intrinsic to our species. The continuous reevaluation, discernment and updating of knowledge is the scientific method. Public Health is undergoing aContinue reading “National Health Awareness: Public Health April 2025”
National Health Awareness: March 2025 Bleeding Out
In previous years, we focused on HIV/AIDS and patient safety. This month, we are focusing on bleeding disorders and how to manage emergency bleeds- on a person in front of you. Let’s start by recognizing that our blood is amazing. Blood is a combination of plasma and cells. The blood cells include white blood cellsContinue reading “National Health Awareness: March 2025 Bleeding Out”
Path to Homestead: Two Years in Review
The last path to homestead entry was April 2023; so much has happened since! We moved the hydroponics to the greenhouse for improved yields as the very niche wasabi project failed when summer temperature exceeded the tolerances. A larger hügelkultur pit was dug, and produced a healthy crop of corn and squash. We processed, consumed,Continue reading “Path to Homestead: Two Years in Review”
National Health Awareness February 2025: Cancer Prevention and Science
I hope that everyone is investing in their health and well-being. Remember, the first rule of Zombie-land is cardio. We focused on heart and organ donation in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Given the current societal climiate, national holidays, history, and scientific organizations are being reviewed. Therefore choosing a specific topic proved difficult. As a result,Continue reading “National Health Awareness February 2025: Cancer Prevention and Science”
Murder is Wrong
The murder of United Healthcare’s CEO has led to a national response: a catharsis mixed of celebration and condemnation. Murder is wrong. Murder is defined as the unlawful, premeditated, killing of one person by another. We agree that a murderer is wrong to end a life. The insurance and healthcare system does not meet theContinue reading “Murder is Wrong”
National Health Awareness: August 2023 Overdose
This month is a special one for me. This marks the end of a contractual obligation. Though I paid to leave that job, I am so happy that the 5-year contract has ended. A weight has been lifted. August brings to our awareness specific conditions to include Children’s Eye Health and Safety, Gastroparesis, National Breastfeeding,Continue reading “National Health Awareness: August 2023 Overdose”
Pressurized Vasculature
Blood Pressure is the silent killer. Years of elevated blood pressure damage arteries, capillaries, and veins affecting every organ system. Heart attack, stroke, ruptured arteries, and death are the most devastating outcomes of untreated hypertension. Still, conditions such as vision loss, kidney failure, peripheral vascular/arterial disease, mesenteric ischemia, and erectile dysfunction are quite worrisome. OddlyContinue reading “Pressurized Vasculature”
Path to Homestead: Just Keep Swimming
Dory had it right, “Just Keep Swimming.” It’s crazy to think that it has been 2 months since my move here. The homestead saga continues with all of the ups and downs. As opposed to my previous 2-week homestead focused trips, I split my week between 4 days in Healthcare and 3 days on theContinue reading “Path to Homestead: Just Keep Swimming”
