Can’t poop? That energetic release process gets S-L-O-W-E-D…. D-O-W-N… way down. You can fix it naturally, though. Here is how: 1. Water Recent medical …

Why Allergies Might Help You Live Longer

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study suggests that folks with allergic rhinitis are more likely to outlive the rest of us. Allergic rhinitis patients have a decreased risk of heart attack, a decreased risk of stroke and over all a significantly decreased risk of all-cause mortality! “They were basically half as likely to die during the study period,” says Dr. Crans Yoon, after looking at a database of over 200,000+ allergic rhinitis patients and following those patients for a 7 year period. Presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology 2014 conference, Dr. Yoon found that people who …

A Healing Prayer For You

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

My daughter is 12. She is unique and wonderful and spiritual and wise. Instead of playing around with make up and talking on the phone and rolling her eyes if I ask her to put away her clothes, like I did at her age, she writes novels and reads historical fiction and studies religion and creates beautiful things with her pen, drawings and artwork and prayers. Like this prayer. She wrote this and from the first moment I read it, I knew I wanted to incorporate this prayer into my work with my own patients. Now, it …
