Two Daughters' Efforts To Increase Access to Healthcare and Empower Women With Cancer

I know all too well what it means to lose a mother to cancer.  Terry Kaye and her best friend experienced this loss too.  And like so many, they wanted their mothers' deaths to have a greater meaning.  But unlike most people, they put that desire into effort.  The result was the founding of the Saralee and Carol Foundation -- an organization whose mission is to increase access to health care and to ensure that all women living with cancer are empowered to be their own best advocates.

For more information about the SareLee and Carol Foundation and to learn more about their project to gain a Pepsi Refresh Grant in the month of October, check out their website.

Take Two Pictures and Call Me In the Morning

Scientists at the University of British Columbia have conducted research that supports the theory that looking at pictures of sick people can actually help you not get sick yourself.

Basically, it is part of the research that shows dealing with stressful events can actually trigger ones immune system. In this case though, it's not just any stressful event. They compared the impact of looking at a sick person against looking at a person with a gun pointing directly at you. Sick person had a greater impact on triggering ones immune system.


Check out the Psychology Today article that delves into the experiment.

So my question is this...when are scientists going to find the pictures that help boost your metabolism? Is there a conspiracy afoot? Are the diet supplement and weight loss industries suppressing this research in fears it will cut into their lucrative market?

Don't worry about going to the gym ladies and gentlemen! Just look at two pictures of obese men and women a day for a week and you'll shed two pounds!

Hey, a girl can dream can't she?
