A Message from Kathleen:

Dear Friends,

We all need all the tools we can accumulate in our toolboxes to cope with the stress of today's world.

Today's main article contains a challenge from stress that you might not have considered and the tools to address it.

Also--I had a pertinent question from a reader about my post on the politicization of science and natural health from last week’s newsletter: Do I believe in vaccines?

The answer is “No.” I don’t “believe” in vaccines. I trust the science that shows they are generally safe and effective. Is anything totally safe and effective? No, but vaccines have proven their worth over and over by saving lives and especially by helping protect people with weakened immune systems who might be infected by unvaccinated people.

Be well,

Kathleen
