Mold | Break Free From The Mold

Jell-O molds make most people happy. Seafood served in a lobster shape on the buffet table makes the dish fun. Fruit cocktail in a Bundt-shaped green mold is a classic at any potluck. “Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle–”
There’s always room for Jell-O, but what if the mold in your house is not Jell-O brand [...]

Neti Pot | The Snot Machine

Neti Pots sold out for weeks after Dr. Oz on Oprah showed the world how using them helps allergies. (Grr, what does Dr. Oz have that I don’t– well, besides Oprah Winfrey?)
Need a nasal douche for your allergies?
My doctor father had me doing nasal douches way before America caught onto the Neti Pot. In fact, [...]

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (Video) | Ears Burning?

Ears burning? Maybe someone is talking about you! It’s like that Bonnie Raitt song, “Something to Talk About.” Or– could it be that you’re paranoid or super egocentric?
Really, in the end, it doesn’t matter what people think about you– but then again, as I’ve learned on Wisteria Lane (i.e. Desperate Housewives), it does [...]

Nasal Polyps | And other nose traffic jams

Maggie Moo, our beloved hound, sniffs everything. Her nose is like a bank of knowledge. We can drive somewhere, and without even looking out the window, she can smell where she is. If we drive to the vet, her nose tips her off, and she starts to shake with dread. When we drive to the [...]

Netipot for Allergies

“Netipot Netipot, Will you wash out my snot?” Seasonal allergies. About 60 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies. Allergies are on the rise, “particularly in urban areas. Allergies cause sneezing, stuffy runny nose
See the video to watch me do a Netipot live on the news.

Spring is here! The daffodils, irises, hyacinths, and all their [...]

Bee Stings: Worse Than Their Buzz

Jessica Simpson– you either love her or hate her. I think she’s okay– but come on! You and I both know she knows what “Chicken of the Sea” is. On her reality show, she was so dumb-dumb pretending she didn’t know it was tuna fish. She and Nick, her ex-hubbie (by the way, I think [...]

Food Allergies: Very Untasty

Everyone has a comfort food. Oprah, Dr. Phil, Oprah, Kirstie Ally, Oprah, Star Jones, Oprah, Prime Minster Ariel Sharon, and Opr… ooh– let it go!
Okay, so I will share a deep dark secret. I too have a comfort food. Well, actually a couple of comfort foods. Chinese Family Style Tofu is one. Yes, it [...]

Gluten Enteropathy | Celiac Sprue – Food Allergy Causes Diarrhea and Havok

One of my friends said I write and talk about poop better than anyone else he knows. Is that a compliment or an insult? I learned in college there are three sacred things in life: eat, sleep, and poop.
Let’s face it: our lives revolve around bowel movements. If you don’t poop enough, you get [...]

Achoo! Spring Allergies

Spring is here! The daffodils, irises, hyacinths, and all their friends are finally starting to bloom. (Insert pastoral song– Bugs Bunny background music will do.)
I start to feel like a cock-eyed optimist when the days become longer and the landscape looks like a Monet painting. I scamper off to my Friday morning TV [...]
