FOUNDER'S CORNER August 22, 2007 The Pillars of Health and An Invisible Line Several people have written to us recently expressing their concern over the high price of the supplements they take for their ME-CFS and FMS. One gentleman complained that he spends close to $400 per month on this cause, none of which is covered by medical insurance. He did not know how he could keep going at that pace, and I don't blame him for complaining. Let's put supplements in perspective.

Send us a letter WEEKLY INSPIRATION "Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect." - Steven Wright When the Medicine's Free The remarkable bottom line of the science of love is that giving protects overall health twice as much as aspirin protects against heart disease... Some researchers are even trying to bring love into the doctor's office, asking physicians to prescribe generous behavior. Adam Hirschfelder is one such pioneer: he heads a new program, called Rx:Volunteer, in which patients recruited from the Medicare practice of a large HMO in California receive a volunteerism "prescription" from their physician. From Why Good Things Happen to Good People by Steven Post, PhD, and Jill Neimark, Broadway Books, New York, 2007.
