“UNDERSTANDING, EASING
AND ELIMINATING PAIN”
JULY 2026
Millions of Americans deal daily with severe and chronic pain and are challenged to find relief. But while a plentiful array of drugs exists for the sole or principal purpose of relieving pain, taking them long-term can have adverse consequences—ranging from problem side effects to addiction. Happily, many non-pharmaceutical treatments for pain—used with or in place of medication—offer relief for sufferers. Understanding the source of pain may be the key to determining the most effective treatment for each patient. In this issue, we will explore with area practitioners many approaches to ease or eliminate pain.
“MAINTAINING HEALTH IN A TOXIC WORLD”
SEPTEMBER 2026
Do we indeed live in a “toxic world”? It’s hard to argue otherwise. There is little question that toxic threats to our health are numerous and insidious: in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. There are harmful ingredients to be found in skin care products and prescription drugs, mold growing in our basements, and the surprising dangers of social media.
In the next issue, area practitioners will explore how these challenges to our health can be met—with education and by the choices we make. They’ll also weigh in on how to deal with and recover from the consequences of toxic exposure.
“LINKING MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH”
NOVEMBER 2026
We’re presented evidence on a daily basis of the inextricable link between our physical and mental health. Elderly adults, for example, who are more physically fit tend to have better spatial memory than those who are less fit. There’s a good deal of evidence that uncontrolled anger can lead to heart problems. And so much more. Simply put, keeping physically fit means keeping mentally fit as well. Reflecting this understanding, health care providers offer a wide range of healing practices—such as biofeedback, hypnosis, and meditation—to address health conditions from asthma and cancer to diabetes and obesity. In this edition of Health&Healing, local practitioners will explore these connections.
