Have you already succumbed? If not, would you like to avoid getting sick? My guess is yes. My basic advice is quite simple; you will figure it out long before the end of this article.

Do you suffer from sour burps and a burning pain under the ribcage after you eat? Do you wake up at night with a cough, or greet the day with a gnawing pit in your stomach? Do you shout, “Yes, that’s me!” at the television when the purple pill commercials come on?
If so, you might have heartburn.

Winter in New Mexico brings a double-dry-whammy. The air in our high desert is dry to begin with, and between the cold temperatures outdoors and the heated air indoors, our poor skin suffers this time of year. You know what I mean.

I had a patient last week who told me the story of her illness, ending with, “and then I looked it up online, and that was a bad idea.” She had found that some of her symptoms matched some pretty serious diseases, and suddenly she went from sick to sick and scared. Fortunately, after checking her out, I was able to reassure her that she did not, in fact, have a deadly disease, but merely a run-of-the-mill sickness.

Q: If you are feeling sick, is there a way to determine if you have a bacterial versus viral infection without going to the clinic? For example, temperature? Swollen glands? Green snot? Coughing up stuff?

I have a soft spot in my heart for veterans, and it isn’t just because they call me “ma’am.” There are many reasons, but one might be because it is thanks to the resilience of a military man that I even exist today.

Welcome back to school. I hope you had a good summer, and are rested and ready to crack open the books and expand your mind. I also hope you had a healthy summer, with time to regroup and take care of your body.

It is finals time. How are you doing? Sleeping well? Eating nutritious meals? Keeping your life in balance? No? If you are like most students, you are too busy to take care of yourself. You have papers to write, assignments to finish, exams to cram for; your diet consists of junk food and soda, and you get up from your desk only to go to the bathroom or get another bag of chips.
