All too often television news, sound bites, newspaper pieces and magazines will be dedicated to one area of health. These pieces can impart incredibly important information, and keep the public informed. However, far too often, each medium will focus exclusively on one specific methodology to overall wellness. A blog that I came upon recently, creates a new genre for keeping the public informed on all areas of well being. From the truth about garlic as a healthful supplement to the affects of Tai Chi on diabetes, Healthyfellow.com, gives a wonderfully impartial, unbiased overview on many different approaches to wellness. Each post offers some thoughts, ideas and good, solid facts about achieving one's health goals. Additionally, Healthyfellow.com explores options, such as alternative methods to self care for breast health.

As a yogini, good health is very important to me. But, as a cancer survivor, my health is not something I take lightly, or for granted. One of the aspects of Healthyfellow.com that I find the most helpful is its take on looking at holistic medicine, rather that strictly keeping its information allopathic. A balanced approach, looking at every possibility that is best for one's personal location on life's health journey, can be extremely beneficial. An uninformed patient has no idea what her options are. A well educated patient can better make the best choices for her care and for her life.

Lastly, another reason this blog found its way to a meaningful place in my reading schedule is that it debunks holistic health myths. One area that is rampant with untested theory and unproven tricks to heal is in the natural foods and health industry. I am passionate about natural, whole foods and naturapathic health. However, when something is not a product that 'works', it should not be touted as such. I believe these 'snake oil' tales do more to harm the reputation those of us interested in natural medicine than anything else. By looking at what works, and what simply is untrue, Healthyfellow.com takes an honest approach in a sometimes dishonest industry. I applaud them for their hard work and efforts, and I will continue to be a faithful reader.
