    Constantly Educating yourself is one of the keys to helping you achieve your health and appearance goals! We have limited time to do this so we need to be selective about the amount of information however.  Over the years,  in addition to the Medical Literature, I have settled on these Newsletters, Blogs and Portals to get much of my information which I share with you.

     Rethinking Drinking, Alcohol and Your Health, New National Institute of Med Site

Drinking can be beneficial or harmful, depending on your age and health status, and, of course, how much you drink.  For anyone who drinks, this site offers valuable, research-based information. What do you think about taking a look at your drinking habits and how they may affect your health? Rethinking Drinking can help you get started.

    How to really evaluate Risk, If I do x, it increases my risk by y%, What it means.

     

    From bacon to booze, risks often make headlines: "CANCER UP X PERCENT IF YOU DO Y" - you know what I'm talking about. Michael Blasland of the BBC has devised a simple but different way of seeing these stats, with a click-by-click Risk-o-meter. Click through the examples below to see why those percentages easily mislead - and why it pays to ditch percentages and talk instead about the numbers of real people.

    How to understand risk in 13 clicks!!

     

    Earth Day 2009, the Green Generation arrives....

     

    On April 22, 1970, 20 million people across America celebrated the first Earth Day. It was a time when cities were buried under their own smog and polluted rivers caught fire. Now Earth Day is celebrated annually around the globe. Through the combined efforts of the U.S. government, grassroots organizations, and citizens like you, what started as a day of national environmental recognition has evolved into a         worldwide campaign to protect our global environment.

    Products, Vi Peel  for Acne, Pigmentation, Fine Lines and Improved Texture

     

    Inside Outside is now offering a New Chemical Peel.  This peel was developed by Dr. A. F. Kalil, of the Vitality Institute of South Beach, Florida. I have never been fond of peels as most of them in the past were painful and required length recovery if used for treatment of some of the more difficult skin issues such as acne, pigmentation and wrinkles.  For these problems, I have generally felt Intense Pulsed Light, Pixel Laser Resurfacing and faithful use of products were the best solution.  Dr. Kalil has taken however 5 different Acids, Phenolic Acid, TCA (TriChlorAcetic Acid), Salycylic Acid, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Retanoic Acid (Retin A) and put them all in a single "cocktail" at lower concentrations.  The acids all work in different ways to improve Acne, Rough Texture, Pigmentation and Some Wrinkling due to Aging and Sun Exposure.  The Peel is virtually painless.  On the 1st and 2nd day there is a sun tanned like look and peeling occurs on the 3rd and 4th day with complete recovery by Day 6 or 7.  It really is quite a remarkable product when combined with a good regimen of skin care products and maintenance peels and Diamond MicroDermabrasions.

    Member Tribute: George "Bill" Thorsby passed on 4 Feb 09

    We are all going to miss Bill Thorsby who passed on 4 Feb 09 at the age of 82.  Bill and his Wife Mary Lee have been faithful members since May 2005, introduced to us by Ralph Bender and Liz Fritz.

    They were our Inside Outside Stars of October 2005 and were featured in a KSAT 12 News Feature in Dec 2005!!!

     

    Bill was one of the strongest men in the gym and was in the 500Club. He loved his workouts and I am sure he is looking for the gym in the after life.
