Use It or Lose It! Be Careful with Expired Hair Products By Sheila Venancia Do hair products such as gels, creams, mousse expire? If so, how do you know when they are no longer any good? In general, unopened hair care products have a shelf life of three years. However, in the case of non-aerosol and non-spray products this drops to 18 months once the product has been opened. This is because the usual gels, creams, pomades and such that are applied to the hair come in contact with the skin and therefore become contaminated by bacteria and moisture which […]

Kim’s Campari By Kimberly Burns, OTR/L, CLT “The classic Italian aperitivo drinks differ by region but usually include a mix with Aperol or Campari liquors.” An aperitif or aperitivo is roughly translated as “to open”. Diners are prepared for dinner delights and transition from the stress of the day to the well-deserved meal. What a great Happy Hour! As a part of my very long journey of transitioning my daily habits and discovering food intolerances, I have begun to appreciate the benefits that alcohol can give when directed correctly. Since that night of our fine restaurant review, aperitif has been […]

Food is Medicine – Benefits of Ghee By Kimberly Burns, OTR/L, CLT “Let medicine be thy food and let food be thy medicine” A term Hippocrates used to relay his belief that eating nutritious food is the basis for good health. For those of us with food allergies or intolerance, even the diets labeled as healthy or anti-inflammatory can still cause problems. A food allergy triggers the immune system to react to the proteins in a food and causes a histamine reaction. It is usually more severe and immediate reaction with a small amount of the food whereas food intolerance […]

Negligence Per Se In Florida By William Henry, PhD Not all negligence cases are equal. The facts can make a difference as to how a negligence case must be proved. There are four elements to the proof of general negligence found in the common law: 1) Duty — The defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff; 2) A breach — A failure to fulfil the duty; 3) Causation — The breach led to the injuries; and 4) Damages — A monetized value of the injury.
Spinal Alignment By Kimberly Burns, OTR/L, CLT Dr. Roger Sperry, Nobel Prize recipient for brain research, says “90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine”. Only 10 percent has to do with thinking, metabolism, and healing. When your spine is out of alignment, your brain will take energy from your thinking, metabolism, and immune function to deal with abnormal gravity/posture relationships and processing. With regular exercise and knowledge of how the spine is supposed to be aligned, the body will have a better chance to work and function correctly. Exercise along […]
