The Covid-19 Is Confining Italian People to Their Houses
These days are tough for me and my country. Personally, I feel a bit worn out. Maybe, for my two surgeries and the blood transfusion I had last January; maybe, because after that, I couldn’t do actually anything at all for a month because the surgeon ordered it; maybe, because my area, the notorious Veneto, got under the attack of the Covid-19 and we had to quickly adapt to new rules; or maybe, because my beloved dog, Elmo, my truest friend, passed away suddenly last 4th March.

Nature Connection as Medicine
Environmental discourse refers to the framework of ideas, concepts, language, and practices that our society relies on to relate to the world around us. For centuries human beings have held an environmental discourse that encourages division from our environment. We have validated not only a division from the natural world, but a disconnect from our relationship to place within our man-made environment, and our relationships with each other. Through a discourse of based in capitalism and economic growth we have validated practices that place marginalized communities into toxic environments, while offering respite to the more affluent. We have chosen to view the land as a resource rather than a partner, an obstacle rather than a resting place, and a fearsome wilderness rather than the source of all creation. Through generations of discourse manipulated for the benefit technological growth, we have validated a lifestyle and identity separate from nature, and have chosen to take advantage of both the land and other human beings. Our lack of connection to place within ourselves, our communities, and the natural world is perhaps one of the greatest threats to future generations.

The Many Side Effects of Herbal Medicine
Before you go elderberry or Echinacea crazy, there are things that should be spoken of in order to make sure that those interested in herbal remedies make it a point to understand that herbs have major side effects right smack next to normal medicine. If you have thyroid disorder, using herbal remedies may have an effect on you. Herbal remedies can have bad side effects just like Western medicine remedies. Don't go all gaga over herbs just yet because St. John's Wort can make a bipolar manic as well as give them sun rash on their face. Also, this article is in no way something to be mistaken for a doctor's advice, I'm just someone with knowledge, do not change your treatment rules without talking to your physician. This article is written to prove a point on how people with hypothyroidism, and in my case, type 1 diabetes, can get herbal remedy side effects as much as any normal Western medicine chemical can cause more side effects.

Learning Empathy When the Doctor Needs a Mammogram
A few years ago, I found my own breast mass Obgyn perform breast exams every day. I never expected to find a mass on myself. When I did, immediate panic set in. Breast cancer is rare in men, but it does happen.

Cancer: The Forbidden Cures
'The truth is often right in front of our noses. It is so close that we cannot focus on it... There is no such thing as 'the' truth. Truth is not something you can think of possessing. Truth is search. Truth can only be found by stretching the limits of your horizon, by widening your way of thinking.'
