In this issue of To Your Health: You don't have to look too far to find a person with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or someone caring for a family member with this devastating condition. When discussing people with Alzheimer's disease, common questions - and misperceptions - emerge. Sound information gives us a foundation from which to act and increases our comfort level to serve this special population. Let's answer some of these questions and explore the shared human experience of living with Alzheimer's disease.
Pain in the lateral hip, thigh, and leg can cause serious, sometimes debilitating discomfort. These complaints are often diagnosed as an inflammatory joint problem such as trochanteric bursitis.

When the hip abductor muscles are the root of the problem, massage therapy is an exceptional way to bring relief and get you back to full activity levels. There is so much we can do to keep our brains healthy, including such diverse activities as volunteerism, the study of foreign languages, working with essential oils and meditation. While each of these separately do not have a lot in common, research now shows us that they can help the brain to function at optimal levels.
