Deal with Causes Not Merely Symptoms!

Dr. Mark Hyman

Shift from what you have, to why.  Understand patterns and connections in your whole body system.  See how imbalances in your biologic systems impact your well-being.  Dr. Mark Hyman, speaking at TEDMD does a masterful job explaining the paradigm shift in medicine turning from diseases towards mechanisms.  This 21^st century medicine considers underlying causes of disease – toxins, allergens, infections, nutrition, stress… along with medical history, personal genome, symptoms, biomarkers, lifestyle and environment. 

They all wash over our genome stimulating genetic expression causing system imbalances (immune, digestive, detoxification, energy metabolism, hormonal, structural, psycho-spiritual).  Check out this video along with Dr. Hyman’s other proactive videos and articles.

Hand-Clapping Songs (5 videos)

Improve Motor and Cognitive Skills

Children between ages six and ten go through a developmental process responsive to hand-clapping songs.  These activities enhance children’s needs – emotional, sociological, physiological and cognitive.  Feeling more alert and being in a better mood occurs.  Developmental learning problems like dyslexia and dyscalculia may be reduced.  Research conducted at Ben-Gurion University by Dr. Idit Sulkin is briefly described in Science Daily.  It suggests music and clapping and movement be an integral part of early education.
