According to an article from The Cochrane Library, colic in babies can be actually be helped by adjusting their spinal alignment (ie, chiropractic and osteopathy methods). Say hello to about 1 hour fewer of crying per day (I’d say that’s completely worth it)!
Colic usually happens in the first 6 months of life and affects about 16% of babies. See the full “Manipulative therapies for infantile colic” article here.

If you haven’t yet seen the 2012 documentary Marley, make some time to watch it, it’s a fascinating portrait of reggae superstar Bob Marley, who died super young at age 36 from melanoma. The cancer was detected under one toenail in 1977, went untreated, and spread to his lungs and brain, ultimately killing him in 1981. May is skin cancer awareness month, so it’s not a bad time to remember to check your moles for any signs of melanoma. Have fun, get naked with a friend and go on a mole hunt with our bilingual skin check chart to guide and take care of the skin you’re in.

We are honored to announce that our plush kidney is featured in a photo illustration for a story about kidney medications in the May 2013 issue of Nikkei Drug Information, a pharmacy journal in Japan. The story describes how some drugs doses must be adjusted depending on the patient’s kidney function. This is so exciting, I could practically pee.

You can count on us to keep current with the newest in gallbladder removal techniques; we are, after all, crazy about gallbladders! The newest approach to gallbladder removal uses a robot to cut a tiny cut (2.5 cm) in the bellybutton. It only takes a few hours to recover enough to go back to work (both a good and bad thing, we guess). For those of you who aren’t squeamish, here is a great photo of a gallbladder being removed through the belly button!
Happy cholecystectomies!

Bladders and eyes and surgery, oh my!
A blind blue heron was recently operated on to fix its broken corneas. A surgeon covered the corneas with bits of pig bladder, which is known to help tissue regenerate. For now the bird gets to stay in a pond full of fish; here’s hoping he’ll recover enough to see ‘em!

Had a super-fun morning bringing the I Heart Guts roadshow to my son’s preschool! It was organ pandemonium and fun for all, they impressed me with what they already knew about the heart, lungs and stomach. I think they were most excited about the pancreas’ powers to digest cupcakes, candy and cookies!
