Quotes of the Day

Immunotherapy has several inherent advantages over conventional treatments. First, the boosted immune system is a dynamic system that can better keep pace with cancer’s moves. Second, the immune system has a memory, so it may prevent recurrence. Third, immunotherapy has fewer side effects than standard chemotherapies. Fourth, immunotherapy is a systemic treatment, which is crucial because cancer is a systemic disease. Affordability, though, is not one of the advantages of immunotherapy. Given the exorbitant price tag of these treatments, many providers question the feasibility of using these advanced drugs. [2020] - Jason Fung

We e-mail all our tenants and friends and family that live near the unit that is for rent and let them know about it. If someone refers a good tenant to you, it's a good idea to thank them in some way. Depending on the effort that went into the referral, we may just send a thank you card with a small gift certificate (say $25 for a restaurant or bookstore), or we'll send a nice gift basket that costs somewhere between $50 and $100. If you're near a large facility like a university or hospital, check around and see if they have a housing board. [2013] - Julie Broad

During the detox phase, we prohibit onions, garlic, tomatoes, and peppers (both the vegetables and the seasonings) because all of those are common triggers. In truth, each individual item is a trigger for less than half of people. During transition, our patients add them back in, but one at a time. Of the four items, onions are the most common trigger food. Interestingly, cooked onions are generally better than raw onions. If garlic is a reflux trigger food, it is usually the "meat" of the garlic. Garlic powder and garlic salt are less likely to trigger reflux than the garlic clove itself. Fresh tomato is probably a trigger food for fewer than one-third of people. Cracked black pepper is a fairly common reflux trigger food. Green peppers appear to be more of a problem than red or yellow ones. [2015] - Jamie Koufman
