If you think doctors would rather skip the personal connections with their patients, you could be wrong. Telemedicine has failed to take hold in the same way that other, newer, technologies have.

I remember trying to get relationship chemistry going, when I was a kid.My best resource was Playboy magazine, which I used to sneak peeks at the drug store, since I am pre-internet and pre-explicit movies,ect.And I did not have the market savvy to know that Hugh Hefner was trying to sell me lots of stuff, rather than help me understand relationship chemistry.Luckily for folks these days, Helen Fisher,Ph.D, has done some very interesting work on relationship chemistry.She has used a tool that Hugh Hefner and 99% of dating coaches, gurus, mavens, and counselors could only dream about back in the day, called fMRI or functional magnetic resonance images, to look at in-love brains.Fisher is putting a scientific face on relationship chemistry and the process we humans go through as we work to establish relationship chemistry.One might think that science would take the mystery and poetry out of love, but I do not think that is the case.I think that folks can be a little more practical if they understand what the feelings in the their bodies are trying to get them to do, and direct the process effectively.Fisher's fMRI examinations have identifies three brain systems that are active in...more

Following a recent onslaught of liability claims made against health spas in lots of areas, many are now having to review the way they deal with customers. The number of claims last year increased by 36% according the National Spa Association, the majority of which were related to massage and physical therapy treatments. The situation has led to an increased focus on the detail of spa treatment screening forms for clientele, and more legal protective procedures to be put in place.A case last year of a woman suing a local spa after she claimed she was injured by a bad massage, is likely to have fuelled the fire a little and increased related claims activity. Even though she had previously sought medical treatment for issues related to her back, she verbally confirmed with the therapist that she no longer had any problems. Even so, she still decided to sue the spa when the massage left her with supposed mobility problems and she was awarded a five figure pay out.This legal "victory" has seemed to have encouraged more people to see if they can get a slice of the pie. Although most of the cases have also been related to massage treatments, there are also lots of incidents such as skin...more
