Keeping your mind and body in check - popular topics in health and medicine to maintain a long and healthy life.

The Healing Crisis Of Modern Day Times.
I used to think I was a health fanatic at the core. I would brag about how I was staying on a very strict diet as I have many food allergies. Looking back I give myself about a 0 percent in following a healthy diet. I am a recovering junk food junkee. I am hoping my story helps someone else. I am not saying to never indulge or enjoy oneself but I am going to speak to a few topics of concern in hoping this brings some light on the concerns of modern day health.

I was told it was just Anxiety.
In the March 2019, my hair started falling out. Hands full of hair every time I showered or brushed my hair. My hair thinned to a point where I didn't recognize myself when I looked in the mirror. My entire life I had thick, full hair. It was pin straight but there was a lot of it. One day when I looked in the mirror my hair was see-through and when I looked at my scalp I saw skin where there had always been a full head of hair.

What is the best way to test the effectiveness of a new Covid-19 vaccine during the summer months?
What may be the best way to test the effectiveness of a new Covid-19 vaccine during the summer months? The importance of developing a successful vaccine should not be underestimated because to get the US economy back on its feet, we need consumers to be confident enough to go out and spend money. A recent survey of US Internet Users conducted in May 2020 by Coresight Research debunks the myth that economic activity is mostly being curtailed mostly by the US “Shelter in Place Orders.” This survey revealed that 68% of US adults plan to continue to avoid visiting public locations when the lockdown ends. Interestingly, a sizable share of US adults also plan to avoid: Shopping Centers (45%), Movie Theatres (44%), Sports Events (40%), Public Transport (40%) and even International Travel (37%). Such evidence suggests that when we finally introduce a new Covid-19 vaccine --- we better be sure it is effective! Otherwise, the public confidence that is so badly needed to re-start the US economy after the lockdown, may end up being a laggard and elongate the path towards a genuine economic recovery.

Game Theory: Prisoner's dilemma
1. Prisoner's dilemma. There were, once upon a time, two thieves. They burgled so amateurishly that got arrested. The police, "fortunately," lacked evidence to convict them. These two were then separately interrogated and offered similar conditional clemency.

My life with Eczema
Eczema had a major impact in my life and too often typecast as the role of the bad guy growing up from birth, I suffered with wretched eczema really bad. I mean bad-bad. My skin was rough, chapped and very flaky. It was all over my face, on the back of my hands, the topsides of my forearms, the back of my triceps and the back of my leg joints. Trust me, I had it bad. At times my scratching became unstoppable and as crazy as it seems, sometimes extremely satisfying.
