Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Lemon Lime different from other prayer plants?
The Lemon Lime variety features uniquely cheerful yellow and lime-green striping that's much brighter and more energizing than traditional prayer plants. The citrus-bright coloration creates an instant mood-boosting effect and brings tropical sunshine indoors year-round.
Why do the leaves fold up at night?
This natural movement is called nyctinasty - the leaves fold upward each evening like praying hands, then unfurl each morning. This fascinating daily ritual is completely normal and healthy, providing endless entertainment as you watch the cheerful yellow stripes shift and dance throughout the day.
How can I maintain the vibrant yellow striping?
Provide bright, indirect light and maintain consistent moisture levels. The cheerful yellow stripes become more pronounced with proper care. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade the citrus colors, and ensure adequate humidity for the most vibrant coloring.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Absolutely! Maranta plants are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their cheerful lemon-lime foliage and fascinating prayer movements safely throughout their home.
Why are my yellow stripes fading or browning?
Fading yellow stripes usually indicate insufficient light or low humidity. Move to a brighter location with indirect light and increase humidity levels. Brown edges typically mean water quality issues - use filtered water and maintain consistent soil moisture for vibrant citrus coloring.

This book will educate and inform! A+
Format: Paperback
Now in my 7th decade, I spent my entire career in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. I can attest to the veracity of Dr. Brawley's dissertation. The maxim that all physicians and surgeons promise is the essential promise to "First, do no harm." Dr. Brawley teaches that not all who purport to care for us and our loved ones adhere to this promise.
Just ask a vet. On the battlefield virtually all medical care is superb. Here at home, alas, it is not so.
Too often, not always, but way too often he is right. Here's the bottom line. If you're not comfortable with what your being told about your health, or that of a loved one, don't hesitate, find another MD who though you may not like what they may say to you, you trust them with your life. That is exactly what you're doing. Much of the seeming heroics in medicine/surgery are really about making or saving money for the drug industry, or hospital, or doctor, or insurance carrier, and not about saving your backside. Certainly not always, perhaps not even most of the time, but way too often.
Read this book and you'll be radically better equipped to understand just what may be driving the responses of the health care systems to your malady, and how you can assure the appropriate care for yourself or a loved one. Are there great doctors and hospitals out there? You bet there are. There are also those who couldn't care less about quality health care for you and are only focused on their own backside. This book will educate and inform you.

"More" is not "better"
Format: Kindle
I had the privilege of working with Otis during part of his training at the National Cancer Institute at a time that policies on PSA and mammography screening were being newly scrutinized with respect to risk/benefit. The notion that screening might actually do more harm than good was seen as absolute heresy and I fondly remember the wonder and amazement in Otis' eyes as he unraveled to me just how this counter-intuitive idea could be so. Twenty years later, the truths I learned from Otis back then are still not widely appreciated among patients, indeed even doctors more sadly. I eagerly snatched this book up not only because I knew Otis and expected a riveting review of healthcare but because my experience in pharmaceutical development has led me to participate unintentionally in some of the perverse systems of conflicts of interest that characterize our healthcare system. I am at a personal watershed and this book is a strong antidote for what ails me, i.e. I feel emboldened to take my career in the direction of a solution rather than continue to contribute to the problem. Written for the general audience, We Do Harm breaks the ranks of legions of doctors who are invested in perpetuating a broken but remunerative healthcare system by introducing specific and by no means isolated instances where patients have been harmed. This book is at once disparaging of blind trust of one's physician and optimistic in that some stars like Otis and microcosms like Grady Memorial can and do avoid patient-disadvantaged conflicts of interest. This book provides evidence and motivation for every person in every role they engage in in the healthcare system: patient, consumer, provider, insurer, politician. No one can escape the relevance and import of the key message of this book that "more" is not always "better." Until such time, if ever, that our healthcare system operates under transparency, this is a must read for all. That means you! Now! It can't wait! I am a believer that healthcare quality will come from the bottom up and not the top down and this book exemplifies this spirit; read it and be empowered to ask the hard questions as to who is motivated to provide what care and at what personal gain.

Helpful for nursing school and NCLEX

This book was helpful in my nursing school journey. I still use it and it breaks it all down in simpler terms to better understand the material. Highly recommend for med-surg nursing.
