THANKSGIVING RESET Today We Are More Connected Than Even, But Have Grown Further Apart
Many families and friends have become polarized “unfriended” because of personal beliefs or just not social because they are addicted to their phone. By Austin Torres

“unfriended” from one another because of their political or personal beliefs. With the holidays upon us we can take this opportunity to “reset” these fractured relationships.
Often times, families are at odds with each other, unable to find common ground, resulting in contentious arguments and hurtful words carelessly being thrown at each other. Thanksgiving is a
holiday that is based on the idea of family unity and giving thanks, not just for all our material possessions, but, most importantly, for our health and the people and relationships which bring mean-

MOLD SICKNESS, WHAT ARE THE SIGNS? 1st Priority Restoration Keeps it Under Control, (1-800-617-1112) Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects. Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, molds can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. People with mold allergies may have more severe reactions. People with chronic lung illnesses may get serious infections in their lungs when they are exposed to mold. Ever wonder why you wake up coughing and sneezing on a regular basis? The CDC may have the answer. According to the CDC (Centers For Disease Control) in 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was
sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, and wheezing in otherwise healthy people and in individuals susceptible with compromised
immune conditions. Mold or mold spores may cause asthma attacks in people who have asthma and are allergic to mold. Even in some nonallergic individuals, mold can cause symp-
toms of irritation in the eyes, skin, and airways. For example, the “black mold” Stachybotrys, along with some other types of mold, produces toxins known as mycotoxins that can cause irri-

“waste of time” - that is where the disconnect is often made and the loss of the factual and physical information in support of how it positively aids in the quality of life for many patients with lifealtering ailments. The topic of “medical marijuana” certainly was much more controversial in the past, but with all of the public education and positive benefits in patients with all types of disorders, it certainly now is more mainstream thinking. What this is all about - is not groundbreaking at all. For those who turn their cheek in a direction other than to learn and fully grasp the properties that marijuana possesses, it is unfortunate - because it is essential, for any physician to exhaust any and all “remedies” that would result in a better quality of life for their patients. NOBODY understands that better than Miracle Leaf of Hallandale. What this company Miracle Leaf, Page 6A
