Remedy for Recovery Must Include Optimism
Numbness and shock are now being replaced by anger and sorrow ... a profound sorrow, and a righteous indignation which is shared across international borders. There is the potential for us to "hunker down" and the tendency to "wait and see" what the future brings. We must not shut down! Our remedy is optimism! We must be steadfast in our belief that this great nation is too strong to be knocked off course by a few misguided madmen, anarchists and terrorists.


A Warning About Vaccines with Mercury
The national Institute of Medicine is recommending that children and pregnant women avoid vaccines containing a mercury-based preservative, saying that there was an unproved but "biologically plausible" risk that the substance could cause neurological problems. Although the FDA has maintained that the amount of mercury in vaccines is too low to be harmful, the preservative, thimerosal, has been the target of an impassioned campaign by parents who believe childhood vaccines caused their children's autism and other brain disorders. Thimerosal continues to be used in adult vaccines, including some flu vaccine.


Americans turning to food to soothe their post-terror nerves
From coast to coast, in big towns and small ones, Americans are turning to food to soothe their post-terror nerves. Those who follow food trends say they sense a change in the nation's eating habits. There has been increased interest in "comfort food" such as ice cream, homemade soups, lasagna, and one-pot meals. Difficult time for those on a diet.

The Healer Within
The traditional systems of medicine from the Asian cultures have always had some type of massage stimulation to the ears. When you work on your ears you will notice that within 4-5 minutes of vigorous massage your ears get hot. This is cause by the increase of blood flow to that area. The Chinese say, "When the blood is increased to an area the Energy (Qi) is increased to that area as well." If you have someone else rub your ears you will notice that your ears are extremely sensuous. This is because the ears are heavily enervated. The combination of the presence of the nerves, the effect of the pressure and the heightened circulation causes stimulation to the reflexes of the Microsystems of the ear, notes Dr. Roger Jahnke in "Self-Applied Massage of the Ears." Through this reflex Microsystems all parts of the body can be influenced through pressure massage to the ear.


Mind Over Matter
Life goes on. Scars of terrorism continue to tear at our souls. We strive forward - as individuals, families, communities and a nation. In "Perspectives: of moving onward" Barry Bittman, M.D. reminds us that...The status quo has been reset. The pursuit of happiness has been threatened. Freedom and safety are no longer taken for granted. Tomorrow is again uncertain. Yet we move onward. No matter what happens or how we respond. We must move onward.


Understanding Homeopathy

He matches an appropriate homeopathic remedy for addressing each type of sinus condition.


Mind Boosters
Ashwagandha is a shrub cultivated in India and North America whose roots have been used for thousands of years by Ayurvedic practitioners as a folk remedy. In "Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)" Ray Sahelian, M.D. alerts us to several recent studies that indicate that ashwagandha has antioxidant properties and influences brain chemistry.

Healthy Bookstore
 "The Legacy of Luna: The Story of a Tree, a Woman, and the Struggle to Save the Redwoods" is about Julia Butterfly Hill's two years living in the branches of "Luna," a thousand year-old redwood in Humboldt County, California. Her actions were intended to stop a lumber company from the environmentally destructive process of clear-cutting the ancient redwood and the trees around it. When she first climbed into Luna, she had no way of anticipating the harrowing weather conditions, the loneliness, and the pain of being an eyewitness to the attempted destruction of one of the last ancient redwood forests in the world. Julia's story is a simple, heartening tale of love, conviction, and the profound courage she summoned to fight for our earth's legacy.

No one really knows what causes enuresis, the medical term for bed-wetting. It is suspected that this condition may be caused by slow development of the nerves that control the bladder. In "Bed-wetting" the American Institute for Preventive Medicine reminds us that children have no control over this condition. It offers practical suggestions along with guidelines for when to be patient and when to seek medical assistance.


Healthy Kitchen - Healthy Foods
Fruits are considered nature’s perfect foods. They are natural and healthy, well stocked in nutrients, relatively low calorie and low sodium, and have very high water content; plus offer natural sugars when we want something sweet. In "Fruits" Elson M. Haas M.D. details the specific nutritional values in a variety of categories of fruits, including citrus, melons, berries, tropical, and dried fruits.


Healthy Alternatives
Chinese medicine is a complete medical system that has diagnosed, treated, and prevented illness for over twenty-three centuries. While it can remedy ailments and alter states of mind, Chinese medicine can also enhance recuperative power, immunity, and the capacity for pleasure, work, and creativity. In "Chinese Medicine: How It Works" Harriet Beinfield, L.Ac. and Efrem Korngold, L.Ac. explain the unique thought processes and philosophy guiding this healing system. They detail the roles of acupuncture and herbs, and how Western and Chinese Medicine differ.
