Bodywork: Should you feed a cold and starve a fever?
With the many respiratory viruses going around, I’m reminded of an old adage: Feed a cold and starve a fever. Does this time-worn advice hold true?

Bodywork: Can exercise compromise the immune system?

Bodywork: Was it Covid – or something else?

Bodywork: Are cold hands cause for alarm?
The other day, even with gloves, my fingers were so cold and numb that I had trouble unlocking my door. Is this something I need to worry about?
