Miracle Man: Oh My Aching Back!
I would not be standing (literally) if it wasn’t for Dr. Sender Deutsch at Shape health & Wellness.
Plagued with a really bad back my whole life, there have been months on end when I have had to put my life on hold while I painfully and slowly recuperate. However, two years ago, when it seemed as though I was destined for major back surgery, I visited Sender at the advice of a friend. To say that he changed my life would be an understatement.
One of the creators and founders of Shape,...

REVIEW: BODIES. . . the Exhibit Returns to Seattle

People with kidney stones spent time in front of the kidney sections, those who knew someone who had had a heart attack spent time at that exhibit, and while smokers seemed to avoid the lungs (there was a place to dump your smokes if you were motivated to quit), I spent time looking at how my allergies caused and could cause upper respiratory...

Public (in)conveniences
OK, so anyone planning a holiday in Rio is going to have more important things on their mind than where to find a toilet. The beaches, the beautiful Brazilian girls, the beautiful Brazilian boys, the samba, the street parties, the spectacular views…all quite rightly take priority in tourists’ minds over the issue of public loos.
