"If something sounds too good to be true," the saying goes, "then it probably is." That has certainly been the case for one supposed "natural remedy" after another. For example, Vitamin C does not really prevent cancer, Gingko Biloba does not prevent Alzheimer's disease, Glucosamine has no proven benefit over placebo in arthritis, and Fish oil (despite its ability to lower triglyceride level) has never been shown to prevent heart attacks. Some vitamins (vitamin E) may even increase your chance o...

In Honor of National Public Health Week! Let’s celebrate our accomplishments and talk about what it will take to become the healthiest nation in one generation! The accomplishments of the public health community over the last two decades are significant.

There can be many choices to make when it comes to finding ways to get healthier. Working with your medical doctor or provider is the first place to start. This is called conventional medicine. It is becoming more and more common for conventional medicine therapy to include alternative types of therapy. This is called "integrative therapy". Integrative Therapy is often used interchangeably with "complementary therapy" or "alternative therapy", but there is a significant difference. Licensed...

There are so many different tips, tricks, and guides to pruning that I could never cover them all in the allotted...

My house means a lot more to me than just a place to sleep and store my clothing. I consider my home my sanctuary, a place of calm that allows me to shed the chaos of the day and to relax and rejuvenate from whatever the outside world chooses to throw at me during the hours I spend away from the place I consider my refuge. Consequently, the idea of renovating my house leaves me cold. Thinking about the furniture that needs moved to the middle of the room in question, or out of the room...

Winter damage is widespread throughout Montana on evergreens this year. The damage consists of tips of newest needles turning yellow, red, or red-brown (Fig. 1). Entire branches might also be affected. The browning is from the outside inward (Fig. 2). The windward sides are most strongly affected. These symptoms, although they appear alarming, will be less obvious with new growth and dropping of dead needles. As long as the buds are soft and green, there is still good growth and life in the...

(NAPS)—“In no other country do so few people produce so much food, to feed so many, at such reasonable prices.”—President Dwight D. Eisenhower President Eisenhower’s words ring as true today as they did more than 60 years ago. That’s why on March 18, the country will celebrate National Ag Day, and formally recognize the efforts of nearly 2 million hardworking family farmers and ranchers who produce much of the food and fiber on which the world depends. This year’s National Ag Day theme is Agriculture: Sustaining Future Generations. It showcases...
I really like to eat. I am not fussy, I enjoy a great slice of bread slathered with peanut butter and honey; I also appreciate steaks and chops of all sorts, and of course I delight in my vegetables, salads, fruits, cheeses, wines, hot chocolate, and other assorted tasty food that keeps me well-nourished and content. I often take the food bounty this country enjoys for granted, and rarely take the time to consider how fortunate I am that we do have an abundant food supply. I have all this goodness thanks to agriculture and the efforts of those...

Each person contributes including the boys who help with branding, fencing, operating some of the farm equipment, and harvesting wheat, barley, and oats. "Growing...
