		<description><![CDATA[With all the cold-weather bugs flying around the northern hemisphere these days, it&#8217;s nice to take care of our overworked lymphatic systems. Since the circulating lymph doesn&#8217;t have its own pump like the blood does, we need to help it along by moving around and stretching our muscles (walking and dancing are great lymph-movers). You [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times&#8217; Well Blog makes note of an interesting study today. The study found that undiagnosed gluten sensitivity (celiac disease), as measured by a blood test, is four times more common than it was fifty years ago. Fascinating. The blog&#8217;s author (Tara Parker-Pope) speculates that the change &#8220;may be due to changes in [...]]]></description>

(The one US death was a little boy visiting from Mexico with unidentified &#8220;underlying health issues.&#8221;) I have a theory. Or an idea. Or a question. It is common practice [...]]]></description>

Specifically, blender juice made of cooling, soothing, mucilaginous plants. Plantains (Plantago spp.), chickweed (Stellaria media), violets (Viola spp.), and mallows (Malva spp.) are especially nice.
