How to Talk About Terrorism with Your Children
Be honest. Keep the answers simple. Be reassuring. For elementary-age kids, talk about the very unhappy disturbed people who don't see any hope or resolution to their difficulties. For seventh- and eighth-graders talk more about the concepts, and the people on the edges who finance terrorist activities.

The Healer Within
Every original culture on the planet earth has a system of "hands on" healing. In western cultures this is generally called massage. As the movement toward alternatives to drugs and surgery progresses massage will emerge as one of our primary new, while actually ancient, therapeutic modalities. Hospitals, and even corporations, are hiring massage therapists to help with healing and to prevent the negative impacts of stress. In "Self-Applied Massage of the Feet" Dr. Roger Jahnke explains how to do self-applied massage to the feet.
Mind Over Matter
Early detection is the key to improved cancer treatment. In "A Deadly Waiting Game: early detection is key" Barry Bittman, M.D. voices his shock and anger at learning that all across the country, women are being forced to wait up to five months for a mammogram. Medicare and many private third party payers are reimbursing radiologists at less than their costs. As a result, mammography centers are closing as physicians cannot assume the losses.
Understanding Homeopathy
It is sometimes difficult, literally and figuratively, to stomach gas, heartburn, and indigestion pains.

In "Homeopathic Medicines For Indigestion, Gas, And Heartburn: Natural Remedies You Can Stomach" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. outlines common symptoms, what they indicate, and which specific homeopathic remedies are appropriate to consider.

Healthy Kitchen - Healthy Foods
Grains are the most commonly consumed foods worldwide. They are the main human fuel and a good source of complex carbohydrate - slower burning and with more sustained energy than simple sugars. In "Grains" Elson M. Haas M.D. details how whole (unprocessed) grains provide a healthy amount of B vitamins, vitamin E, and many minerals. He discusses research on health benefits of grains and addresses the nutritional value of ten specific grains.
Healthy Alternatives
Imagery is a flow of thoughts you can see, hear, feel, smell, or taste. An image is an inner representation of your experience or your fantasies--a way your mind codes, stores, and expresses information. In "What is Imagery, and How Does it Work?" Martin L. Rossman M.D. presents extensive information explaining what kinds of illnesses can be treated with imagery, and how it fits into the larger context of healing. Consider imagery as a means of transformation and liberation from distortions in this realm that may unconsciously direct your life and shape your health.
Association Network -- Hot Pick
Physicians' Association for Anthroposophical Medicine (PAAM) promotes anthroposophical medicine, which draws from all that is available in diagnostics and therapeutics in orthodox medicine, adding to this what we can understand about the human being's soul and spiritual dimensions. Individual temperament and biographical aspects are taken into account as natural medications such as tinctures and homeopathics are prescribed along with various therapies. Treatment for illnesses ranging from minor infections to depression to cancers can be fortified with this approach.
