Stones: A Pain In The Kidney

By Dr. DAVID MILLS
Medical Associates of Northern New Mexico

Kidney stones affect as many as one in 10 persons in the United States today. Still, there is considerable variability in stone formers based on geography and genetics. 

New Mexico has a particularly high rate of kidney stones, perhaps as a result of the arid, high altitude environment. Five different kidney stones exist, and the incidence of these types also varies considerably. Calcium oxalate comprises the majority of stones in the United States, and New Mexico is no exception with well over 90 percent of stones of this type. Read More

The first week of June is National CPR Week. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR can be performed by anyone. You do not need to be a doctor, a teacher or even an adult. Many people may feel unable to assist during a cardiac emergency.

Carrot Cake

Having served fresh carrot cake at PEEC and the Mountaineers Club meeting recently, that’s the recipe I’ve been asked for in the last month. Like the fresh apple cake I serve a lot, it is laden with more fruit and vegetable matter than is typical of a cake. Unlike the apple cake, the carrot cake is frosted lightly with cream cheese frosting.
