Dr. Kendra Gaines, Editor-in-Chief, IJHC  The primary concern of the Journal is always health. So it may come as some surprise to see the word “politics” on this editorial page. Do not be concerned; I am not venturing into that swamp of disagreement and all-too-often hostility. Nonetheless, politics is undeniably connected to health, as I

Dr. Kendra Gaines, Editor-in-Chief, IJHC  As regular readers of this journal may remember, in our last (October ‘24) edition I mused at some length about those who seek medical advice, but who steadfastly resist any advice that does not fall within the parameters of allopathic medicine. I was reasonably convinced that my friend, she who

Dr. Kendra Gaines, Editor-in-Chief, IJHC It wouldn’t surprise me at all if occasionally alternative practitioners get a bit discouraged about giving advice, even when it is eagerly sought.

But that is exactly what has happened to my Significant Other (SO). He has a lower back

Dr. Kendra Gaines, Editor-in-Chief, IJHC A couple of years ago, my Significant Other discovered he had a leaky mitral valve in his heart. Without treatment, he could easily die of congestive heart failure. We sought the advice of a physician who offered to enter my 86-year-old SO in a study, saying “You’ll have a 50/50

Dr. Kendra Gaines, Editor-in-Chief, IJHC A short time ago I had never heard of something called ChatGPT. Since then, however, it seems to have taken the academic world by storm. Conversations about it are occurring frequently, and I see articles on the topic almost everywhere. Reactions range from despair (“Plagiarism will become the norm!”) to

It takes real courage these days to go to an airport and attempt to board a plane. I say “attempt” because, as those of us who have tried to fly recently have discovered, there is no guarantee that you will be able to board that plane or that the plane will actually leave the airport.
