100%. Turn off the news and Tv around the kids. There is already enough anxiety for them in this life. We have an anxiety epidemic. We can be their source of calm in the chaos. It is good for our mental health and theirs.

It’s a struggle most days.

REPORT: Doctors Without Borders reports that civilians are facing both targeted and indiscriminate violence by Israeli forces and private American contractors at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) sites.

Our new report documents the horrors our staff have witnessed at our clinics in Gaza, where they are treating patients injured at GHF sites.

Doctors Without Borders calls for the immediate end of the GHF project, the restoration of the UN-coordinated aid delivery mechanism, and for the end of all financial and political support for the GHF. The people of Gaza need safe access to food and lifesaving humanitarian aid. Israeli forces must end the siege.

The so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is a deadly scheme that must be dismantled. People need access to food and lifesaving aid now.

We all have a choice.

NEW RESEARCH: Orthopaedic Manifestations in Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

A new study published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery shines light on the orthopaedic challenges in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS).

Over 1,000 people with hEDS responded to a global survey on their experiences with joint/spine pain, surgeries, and treatments. The results included:

● Tailored physical therapy was reported to be significantly more helpful than standard PT (79% vs 43%).
● Surgical complications were high – 36% for joint surgeries and 43% for spinal surgeries.
● Mental health burden is profound, with 85% experiencing symptoms daily or weekly.

Those who received EDS-tailored PT were:

• Nearly twice as likely to report improved posture (78.6% vs 43.1%)
• Significantly more satisfied with treatment
• More likely to stay in PT longer
• More likely to say it was as or more helpful than surgery

These findings confirm what many in the community already know: when physiotherapy is adapted for the unique needs of hEDS, outcomes improve significantly.

It further highlights the urgent need for more informed, specialised care pathways and better guidance around surgical decisions for hEDS patients.

The researchers explain that "These findings should guide physicians in managing hEDS and highlight the importance of incorporating this knowledge into clinical practice to improve the management of orthopaedic manifestations in patients with hEDS."

Thousands of microplastics so small they can pe*****te deep into the lungs are in the air you breathe in your home and car, a new study has found.

The particles are likely the result of the degradation of plastic-filled objects such as carpet, curtains, furniture and textiles and the plastic parts of car interiors, according to the study: https://cnn.it/4l8gbrG

Hearthside Medicine Family Care

Our vision is to reduce barriers to care and increase access to bilingual primary care, including immunizations, for the young and the old regardless of financial status, documentation status, or ability to be seen in a traditional clinic setting due to mental health, physical health, or transportation.

Having been on the “other side” as a patient, I too often felt rushed, unheard, and overwhelmed while getting medical care in a traditional office setting. I felt I had a specialist for everything but not just one provider who knew me well, who saw me regularly, who understood me or had time. And then I had children, and getting to the clinic became even harder--I hoped for a different experience, something with a more old fashion approach, a medical provider that had time & patience, maybe even a more holistic approach to medicine.

As a medical provider in a traditional clinic setting, I wanted to spend quality time with my patients but my appointment slots were 15-20 minutes per patient on average. I knew I could give my patients something better. I also wanted to practice in a less conventional setting and offer my patients a more holistic approach to their care, integrating alternative medicine and preventative medicine whenever possible.

And so was birthed the idea returning to a more simple, more personal medical practice--house calls. Hearthside Medicine is unique in that patients can use their insurance or pay cash at an affordable rate. We also offer an income-based sliding scale. We offer long appointments (45-60 min directly with provider) in our clinic or in your home. We aim to remove the barriers that prevent folks from getting the care they need by coming right to their door, offering everything a clinic offers but in the comfort of home.
