It was a wise man who said that health is wealth, because there is truth to this statement in more ways than one. There is no use of life without good health, an asset that no amount of money can buy. Also, in what is probably an irony of sorts, the personal health industry has made tons of money in trying to sell “health” to people.

How the iPhone Could Be A Medical Device
Please see the end of this post for an important note on future blog posts.
On Monday, I was following the buzz that Apple generated during its Worldwide Developer Conference on the MacCentral site. There were a lot of pretty cool features that were announced, but most interesting was the ability for software developers to build applications directed at specific accessories that could be attached to the iPhone. This might not sound like a big deal to the medical industry overall, but in reality, it opens up a consumer development platform that’s accessible to millions of people.

Upcoming Books: The Gluten-Free Guide To Washington, DC
I was looking for a place to eat lunch the other day when I stumbled upon a pizzeria in Middletown, NJ that serves a gluten-free menu. Morgano’s Restaurant & Pizzeria, in fact, is dedicated to ensure that those requiring a gluten-free diet can enjoy a “safe and pleasurable” dining experience.
At first I didn’t understand why someone might require a gluten-free menu. I know that there have been some links to gluten in the diet and autism, but I found out in my research that it is also associated with Celiac disease, an autoimmune disease associated with the inability of the body to absorb gluten, a component found commonly in wheat, barley and rye.
It was around the same time I was introduced to Sara Diana Friedman, author of the forthcoming book, “The Gluten-Free Guide to Washington, D.C.” I thought this would be a terrific resource for people who needed that Gluten-free resource when traveling, but that’s not the main reason I decided to interview Sara.
Sara, who is living with celiac disease, is only 12 years old.
