About Me
- My name is Rebecca Brown.
- If you are in the Lexington, NC area, my mother and sister are licensed Massage Therapists and Medical Reflexologists. Their number is (336) 249-7800. I myself do not practice Medical Reflexology because of my sensitive hands and health challenges.
My Favorite Health Related Web Sites
- Blood Tests Interpreted (Amarillo Medical Specialists, LLP) Wonderful web site.
- Computerized Food Scale. This food scale actually tells you the nutritional value of your weighed foods. You can also add up to 100 recipes on it as well. I love cool things like this.
- Congestive Heart Failure: (Animation from Discovery Health.) I don't have heart failure but thought it was a good thing to bookmark.
- CVS Minute Clinic
- Dr. Joseph Mercola (Natural & traditional medicine.) This doctor is an absolute pioneer. His web site has videos, recorded audio articles, and even podcasts.
- Efficiency Potentials (My Future Endeavor)
- Endocrine System Animation Series. I am learning more about hormones because of my Hypothyroidism. This web site is an awesome learning tool!
- Energy Images (Aura Readings)
- Family Health Portrait (Creates a drawing of your Family Tree with Health History.) Great online tools like this remind us that we need to take preventive measures for things that run in our families. With nutrition changes, and preventive lifestyles, we might be able to alter our body's genetic predisposition to unnecessary disease.
- First Aid & Safety (KidsHealth.org)
- First Aid Videos, Disease & Condition Videos, Health Information (FamilyDoctor.org). Fabulous web site! *Please note that this is not considered medical advice.
- FootSmart (i.e. Anti-Pronation Shoes, Ankle supports, Arch supports, Arthritic feet products, Bunion regulators, Callus pads, Corn pads, Diabetic socks, Hammer Toe trainers, Heel pain products, Knee braces, Knee supports, "Negative Heel Technology", Plantar Fasciitis helpers, & Reflexology Sandals.) Wonderful products!
- FootSmart Catalog Request
- Fruits & Veggies Matter (Two CDC Interactive Tools). "Analyze My Plate" lets you virtually drag fruits & veggies to a plate. "Recipe Remix" helps you make your current recipes healthier.

- Heart Disease & Circulation: (*Please note that this is not considered medical advice, but did you know that most Cardiac Arrests are from not enough Magnesium and/or Potassium in the body? This article talks about how Magnesium & Potassium are called the "pacemaker" minerals.) I am researching how to preventively take care of my heart.
- Heart Disease Facts: What Every Woman Should Know (Mayo Clinic Women's Heart Clinic)
- Heart Healthy Women (Tests & Diagnoses that can be used for a heart check).
- Heavy Metals Home Test Kit
- Hickey Chemists (Invite Health Radio): Jerry Hickey, R.Ph. is a Pharmacist and Nutritional Biochemist. This links to his Radio Talk show you can listen to right from your computer. It is my humble opinion that Pre-med students, Doctors, Alternative Practioners, the Uninsured/Unhealthy, and the Healthy should listen to this program when you can.

- Lead Home Test Kit (Urine test that tests the presence of Lead in your body.)
- Losing Weight: Fitness Calculators (Self Magazine) You select an activity and it estimates how many calories could be burned with that activity.)

I am glad I have something paperless and linear now. There is also the USB key too of course but, I have not gotten that yet to see how it works.
