The Health Care Blog Competition

The Health Care Blog (which was recently praised by the Wall Street Journal) is asking readers to come up with a solution to the American health care crisis in 250 words or less. Of course, I can't help thinking that nutrition is the key. Imagine if the majority of diabetics were treated like this. How much would that alone chop off the national medical bill? (Then factor in asthma, ear infections, cancer, heart disease... go down the left side of this page... all these expensive conditions.)

There are some specific rules you should read before you start writing. Anyone can enter and the winner gets to be a guest on a radio show to talk about their ideas.

Dr. Fuhrman Speaking at N.J. Bookstore

Dr. Fuhrman will be speaking at Borders in Flemington, New Jersey (map and directions) on Wednesday from 7-8 p.m. He will be talking about his new book, Disease-Proof Your Child, so this is an event that would be especially helpful for parents.

To get a little sample of what the book is like, peruse these "Success Story" posts--many of which are excerpted from Disease-Proof Your Child.
