acupuncture is part of a radical
addiction remedy
in the bronx
Santi Elijah Holley
Atlas Obscura
Citing Juan Cortez, "When you think of
acupuncture, massage therapy, Reiki,
yoga, sound therapy, you think about a
'spa day,' you think about people that
have money who are able to attain those
services. Not poor people in the
projects." Yet acupuncture is becoming a
vital tool in the treatment of addiction
and the marginalized, houseless,
disadvantaged could use that "spa day"
themselves.

De-Isolation
Voices from a small town in the early days of covid
Sören Steding
This is an anthology of thirty
reflections, stories, and poems about
the early months of the Covid-19
pandemic in 2020 as it was experienced
by members of the community of Decorah,
a small town in northeast Iowa. The
Decorah Community Writing Project asked
for positive, hopeful, and humorous
texts. We hope this chorus of voice will
strengthen communities -- our own and
beyond -- during this pandemic and show
us ways to connect while being distant.
We dedicate this collection to all in
our community who provide help and care
for people in need.

Viruses, Plagues, and History
Past, Present, and Future
Michael B.A. Oldstone
The overlapping histories of humans and
viruses are ancient. Earliest cities
became both the cradle of civilization
and breeding grounds for the first viral
epidemics. This overlap is the focus of
virologist/immunologist Michael Oldstone
in Viruses, Plagues and History.
Oldstone explains principles of viruses
and epidemics while recounting stories
of viruses and their impact on human
history. This fully updated second
edition includes engrossing new chapters
on hepatitis, Zika, and contemporary
threats such as the possible return of a
catastrophic influenza, and the impact
of fear of autism on vaccination
efforts. This is a fascinating panorama
of humankind's longstanding conflict
with unseen viral enemies, both human
successes--such as control of
poliomyelitis, measles, smallpox and
yellow fever, and continued
dangers--such as HIV and Ebola.
Impeccably researched and accessibly
written, Viruses, Plagues and History
will fascinate all with an interest in
how viral illnesses alter the course of
human history.

Know Your DNA
https://knowyourdna.com
DNA testing can be confusing; we’ve relied on
experts and doctors to administer and decipher these

them, we use them, we explore how they work, and we
give an unbiased review that completely avoids any
unfounded claims or marketing mumbo-jumbo. We have
no affiliations to any service we cover, we don’t
get sponsored, we pay for the tests we take, and we
have no obligation to anyone other than our readers.
If that doesn’t sound like a pretty fair approach
already, we have a secret that gives us an edge:
KnowYourDNA is powered by the passion and expertise
of trained geneticists and genetics
