Insights from
visiting the International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine
July 2008
The weekend of July 18-20, 2008 I had what I thought would be an opportunity
to share my story with progressive thinkers at the 16th Annual
International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative
Biomedical Technologies in Washington DC. Mine was one of
several testimonials based on the results of Gary Null’s recent Health
Support Groups.
At the end of his speech, though, members of the audience had text messaged
some questions for him to the moderator, most of which questioned his methods;
for instance, one asked if he had DNA testing done to support his work
and another suggesting that the few testimonials that were presented may
be anecdotal and may not represent future results. Read

to be followed in order to lead you into a lifestyle that supports your

The Principals of Wholistic Health
Wholistic health is based on a series of propositions subscribed to by an
increasing number of professionals and laymen. These ideas, still new to
many people, are at the core of wholistic health. Read More...
"Can We Heal Bedsores With Something Invisible? ... Diapulse,
Decubiti and Fannies"
By Luanne Pennesi, RN, BSN, NCC
Published in the Long Island Jewish Medical Center Newsletter, Fall,
1991
As you
walk through the double doors of 4 North it would not be unusual to find
yourself face to face with a large two tone turquoise system that stands
about 4 feet tall mounted on wheels. A nurse might matter of fact
walk this ominous looking system into a room and announce, "Fannie,
it's time for your Diapulse treatment!" Fannie turns as the nurse
pivots the arm of the system and a round treatment head is placed over Fannie's
sacral dressing (you guessed it, Fannie is a confused elderly woman with
a Stage III sacral decubitus since admission). Read More...
The Greatest Instrument you will Ever Own
By Luanne Pennesi, RN, BSN, NCC
Do you like the way you look naked in
a full-length mirror? Most would shudder at the thought of even
going there. And yet a healthy body and a good body image are
the hallmarks of a healthy person, especially if part of your profession
is being a role model for health and an inspiration to your clients.
So take a good look. We are usually our worst critics, but we also
need to be our loudest cheerleaders. What do you like about
your body? Do you have toned, defined muscles? Or do you
see yesterday’s barbeque all over your gut? Is there an area
that is not a problem area for you? Read

In Search of the Winner's edge: Mental
Toughness & Teamwork
By Luanne Pennesi
The "beep" goes off before your routine...suddenly
you draw a blank...ohmygod... howdoIstart. The tension
rises in your body, your legs feel numb and you just want to get to the
end of the music already. This isn't how practice was. Everybody's
watching. Your legs are burning now. Will this ever end?
Sound familiar? Most of us want to believe
that lots of lessons and practice will make us great skaters. It's
certainly what everybody else says. But what is it that
sets outstanding skaters apart from the skaters who struggle through their
performances? It's called mental toughness, or put
in other words, grace under pressure. Too often
unless these traits are already integrated into the personality, the skater
does not learn them from their scheduled lesson time. Truth is, anyone
can learn these skills with the right input and the right attitude. Read

Why We Eat Meat
By Luanne Pennesi, RN, MS, CNAT
Why do we eat the foods
we eat? Once we have a set pattern of when we eat, under what circumstances
we eat and what “foods” we put into our bodies, can we change our
eating habits? If you’re interested in getting healthy, having
more energy and stopping the aging process you will spend careful time
examining these questions and pondering the answers. Better yet,
ponder the answers and then integrate the changes into your life. See
how unreasonable the Standard American Diet (SAD) is with regard to actually
feeding your body and mind. Read
