Clearing up fake news on every front

February 28, 2017 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

Fake news can refer to far more than what some say is deliberately mistaken reporting by the media. Fake news is what we unwittingly accept about ourselves, others and even the world. Writer Kay Stroud digs deep into the implications of accepting or acting out lies. Turns out, the inability to detect and expose fake […]

What if health were catching?

February 21, 2017 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

Readers, beware: contagious health is breaking out! This concept may seem ridiculous, or at least revolutionary, but it’s really quite natural. According to writer Bob Cummings, we can turn the assumption of contagious diseases right on its head as we give this issue serious thought from a spiritual perspective. He writes: “Health reformer Mary Baker […]

A sound mind at any age

January 17, 2017 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

A sound mind may be a given for most people– except for those of advanced years, some believe. Are there any signs of progress in this disheartening picture of dementia, decreasing mental health resources, and the increase in the aging population? Writer Wendy Margolese is hopeful, even confident, as she explores both research and personal […]

When meditative prayer includes the Divine, anything is possible

January 10, 2017 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

Is meditative prayer a redundant phrase? Often “meditation” and “prayer” are synonymous, but when they are not we need to understand the difference if we want only positive, health-improving outcomes. Anna Bowness-Park explores the meanings of these two terms based on a TV interview with psychologist Dr. Miguel Farias. She then shares her own healing […]

Rethinking Aging for the New Year

January 5, 2017 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

A Happy New Year is often marred by the secret—or openly blatant—expressions of the fear of aging. It might seem we are only getting older, not better. But recent research discovered by health writer Eric Nelson challenges that fear. Nelson writes: “In her article ‘Why everything you think about aging may be wrong,’ reporter Anne […]

Spirituality and Health connection: helping as only you can

November 29, 2016 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

The spirituality and health connection is something I feel passionate about. I’ve been writing and publishing for years now about this topic. Now my colleague Steve Salt weighs in with a wonderful true story—and practical suggestions. He begins: “Scene: A regular Joe driving home to see his family after a hard day. He comes upon […]

Why is science more popular than religion?

November 17, 2016 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

Science outscores religion in popularity today—true? One author, Eric Nelson, suggests reasons and then turns the question on its head. He explains that a new, more scientific view and practice of religion, not popular science, restores our sense of wonder. It also brings us consistently good, healthy outcomes. He begins: ” ‘Things like the Human […]

In search of an honest politician

November 10, 2016 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

If history is any predictor, Socrates might have had a hard time searching for one honest politician this past campaign here in the USA. “Liar, liar, pants on fire!” were often the silent, or even noisy, protests among the electorate. Although Donald Trump is now the president-elect, the question of the honest politician will not […]

PTSD: is it possible to gain mental freedom?

October 25, 2016 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

PTSD in veterans claims a lot of attention these days because it is widespread and resistant to common medical approaches. Experts admit it seems incurable, but are finding effective coping alternatives to drugs. Writer Val Minard goes farther, however, as she relates a tale of two veterans: a soldier and a chaplain. The soldier copes […]

Christian Science and Dentistry

October 20, 2016 By whollyhealthync Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered how Christian Science and dentistry work together? After all, people who pray about their health are not likely to leave out their teeth! Leroy Gatlin of Tennessee gives a helpful explanation here: “In 1902, a New York dentist removed 24 teeth from a patient without using anesthetics. The patient, who had sought […]
