The CDC is worried about two things this winter season: Fighting a flu pandemic, while at the same time trying to stop nightmare bacteria (superbugs). Last year, an estimated 80,000 Americans died from flu and each year more than 23,000 Americans die from antibiotic-resistant germs (superbugs). While modern medicine continues to search for solutions through vaccination and immunobiotics, could the answer be found in medieval medicine?

Sherry Torkos, a holistic pharmacist and author of more than a dozen books on natural health and healing says the medical discoveries that came out of the Middle Ages during the bubonic plague “Black Death,” leprosy and Saint Anthony’s fire (ergotism) cannot be underestimated and will tell your audience about three liquid remedies from the Middle Ages that are still fighting today’s toughest cases of flu, stomach aches, pains and wounds (talking points include: colloidal silver, mint, and turmeric). She will also answer your questions on ways to stop the superbug crisis and show how to limit the spread of this nightmare bacteria. Sherry stops by LNH to speak with Mark Alyn.

Jennifer Kray, of Wheaton, Ill., was only 23 when she experienced a stroke. Now a few years older, Jen continues to put one foot in front of the other, literally, with a positive attitude and the EksoGT™ rowabotic exoskeleton at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital, part of Northwestern Medicine. Jennifer and her rehabilitation expert Lauren Bularzik, talk with Mark Alyn.

An estimated 15 million people around the world will experience a stroke each year, with more than 60% of survivors finding themselves unable to walk. A separate 500,000 individuals acquire spinal cord injuries that also leave them paralyzed. For stroke and spinal cord injury survivors, this means a long and discouraging road to recovery with grueling and extensive physical therapy sessions. For many, they begin to think that they will never walk or stand again and will remain dependent upon a caregiver for support. Mark Alyn discusses the EksoGT for use in rehab for stroke patients and spinal cord injuries.

A new year is quickly approaching and it’s that time again for New Year’s resolutions. For some of us, there are “repeat resolutions” – those that come up year after year because we have failed to see them through to completion in prior years. Whether it’s finally getting rid of those extra pounds or getting motivated to hit the gym – some resolutions are too important to give up on.
So, what can we do to increase our chance of success with resolutions? This may come as a surprise but by putting “sufficient sleep” at the top of your New Year’s resolutions list, you are much more likely to keep the other resolutions once and for all, especially the ones that center around diet and exercise.
Clinical Sleep Educator Terry Cralle, RN visits with Mark to talk about the importance of getting enough sleep.
