Protect Yourself Against the Flu Vaccine!
The vaccine industry insists that their vaccines against the flu serve as the key to a healthy winter. Although there has not been a serious flu epidemic for 38 years, their vaccines are prescribed to millions of people each year. You may wonder why perfectly healthy people are injected with a normally harmless bug whose strains mutate from year to year?

Heel Pain - Ten Tips for Treatment
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis
(plan * tar fash* ee * I * tis). If you experience a sharp pain
in your heel when you first step down in the morning, it is
most likely due to plantar fasciitis. This type of heel pain
may also occur as achiness at the end of the day in the heel
or even burning pain in the arch. Plantar fasciitis can be
associated with a heel spur, but this is not the cause of the
pain. When the long ligament like structure (plantar fascia)
on the bottom of the foot pulls on the heel bone over a
period of time, a spur is formed. Only 50% of individuals
with plantar fasciitis have a bone spur in their heel. The
spur will never go away, but the plantar fasciitis will. Plantar
fasciitis is typically caused by a new activity, a new pair of
shoes, a worn out pair of shoes, a change of routine or
change in job. Individuals with flatfeet or abnormal motion in
the feet may have a higher chance of developing plantar
fasciitis. Once you develop plantar fasciitis, you may find it
very difficult to treat.
