One thing I hear frequently as a nurse when visiting with patients is, “I’m going to talk to my doctor about getting off of some of these medications!” Well… okay, but (1) Why do you want to stop medications if they are controlling your chronic health condition?

You can even get skin damage on a cloudy day; that’s because the Ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun are what cause skin damage, and clouds don’t block UV rays. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. Every year in the United States, n...
