Dr. Tom Bennett has been very busy writing articles and producing Youtube videos around the theme of Healthcare You Don’t Need. A fair amount of what is prescribed for us and done to us is not necessary and in many cases, actually causes harm. Tom translates the evidence presented in scholarly journals in terms we can understand. The Hippocratic oath asks doctors to, “First do no harm.” The vast majority do just that. On the other hand, it pays to protect yourself and your family with knowledge.

Recently, I heard a news story quoting the St. Paul Homeless Shelter saying that, for the first time in their history, because of the recession and budget cutbacks, they will begin turning people away this winter. It’s a sad situation, and I was inspired to record a reading of “The Little Match Girl” – a Christmas story by Hans Christian Anderson. This poignant story (about 7 minutes long*) is as relevant today as it was in 1857.

Attention Parents!

Johnny can’t read. Or to be accurate, Johnny won’t read. He’s a bright, personable, energetic kid who can focus on a video game for hours. Yet, in class, he is disengaged. How can you make him “like” school? Whose fault is it? the teacher? your home environment? his friends? heaven forbid, your genes?
