It is easy to become reenergized by lively conversation with a kindred spirit - even if it's from 2,400 miles away. Who needs caffeine? ;)
Chillin' in the Alexandria office. Restaurant 3 doors down has no AC & a 500+ degree pizza oven! I feel for those workers. C'mon cold front

Even water can be anti-inflammatory. So are ginger, tumeric, and green leafy veggies. Basically, you've gotta get less acid. ;-)

However, the power of social media 2 inform people about conditions and cures makes them invaluable allies in the creation of better health.
Both +s & -s to using social media in medical practice. U must be cautious not 2 reveal medical information about a particular individual.

E.G.: "-itis" means "inflammation." Gastr- means stomach. So gastritis just means an inflamed stomach. But insurance pays for gastritis :)
Just as in law, medicine often uses ancient Greek and Latin words to keep secrets from the general public. Doctors keep an aura of mystery.
