Holistic Protection From Getting Sick When School Starts

Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

As I talked about a few weeks ago on the blog… there is a huge problem with the development of *super bugs* that are resistant to our current arsenal of antibiotics and antivirals, and the problem is only getting worse. As bacteria and viruses evolve resistance and become more pervasive, I see people reaching more and more for hand sanitizers and wipes. I can’t walk into a supermarket or drugstore or convenience store any more without seeing a box of hand sanitizing wipes right in the entryway. But what you might not know about these wipes, is that …

Fasting To Decrease Cancer Recurrence

Female Health, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Recently published on March 31, 2016 in JAMA Oncology, new evidence supports the idea that fasting at night reduces the risk of cancer recurrence. Every night as we sleep we all enter a mini-fasting period before we *break-the-fast* with breakfast each morning. Prolonging the amount of time spent fasting — skipping evening snacks all together and fasting for 13+ hours each night — reduced the risk of breast cancer according to a study that spanned thousands of patients followed for over a decade. Simply taking care to eat an early dinner and not eating again until breakfast (for …

My secret to wiping out pit stink FOREVER!!! Even in the hottest weather!!!!

Female Health / By Laura Koniver, MD

Never thought I’d be blogging about my armpit, so I had no idea what picture to put with this post… but luckily my hubby accidentally shot a random outtake picture of my pit/shoulder area when he was taking necklace pictures for me. So here we go… Armpit funk. I’ve had it all my life. Not super bad, mind you… just a little stickiness when I wake up in the morning, or afternoon funk from the southern heat of the SC lowcountry. I’ve tried lots of natural deodorants (I refuse to use antiperspirants) and enjoy them… but find they don’t it …
