Cravings, Diet and Weight Loss
David Kirchoff, president of Weight Watchers, the world’s largest diet company, recently said on their website: “Calorie counting has become unhelpful.
When we have a 100-calorie apple in one hand and a 100-calorie pack of cookies in the other, and we view them as being ‘the same’ because the calories are the same, it says everything that needs to be said about the limitations of just using calories in guiding food choices.”
Kirchoff and Weight Watchers have eliminated the company’s popular “Points” system, which encouraged dieters to lose weight by eating any foods as long as they kept the portions small. The new system tries to encourage dieters to consume more natural, less processed food.
According to Time Magazine:
“The radical overhaul, which is the first major alteration to the Points program, comes at a time when Weight Watchers is trying to revive its recession-battered business.”

My gift to people with hair Loss
I often see patients walking into my clinic wearing a wig; a temporary measure following chemotherapy. The wigs are hand crafted and loaned to people for the duration they are needed for.
For many years I had a 16″ long braid stored at the bottom of my drawer. I had no idea why I kept it till I realized the wigs I’m seeing are hand crafted using natural hair. Following request for instructions, the braid was shipped to Locks of Love. Following is their note of appreciation:
Dear Varda,
Thank you for your generous hair donation. Your selfless act of kindness will benefit a Locks of Love recipient and change their life for the better. Most of our recipients suffer from an autoimmune disease called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. Other recipients are cancer survivors, victim of trauma such as burns and rare dermatological conditions that result in permanent hair loss. Your donation of hair will help return smiles to the many varied face of our children. On behalf of those children, their families and Board of Directors, Thank you – you made a difference!

“Past the seeker as he prayed
came the cripples and the beggar. And seeing them …
he cried, ‘Great God, how is it
that a loving creator can see such things
and yet do nothing about them?’…
God said, ‘I did do something.
I made you.”
