Complementary Approaches to Breast Cancer Treatment
Once a woman receives a diagnosis of breast cancer, complementary and alternative medical care can be made a part of her comprehensive treatment program. The addition of detoxification diets, periodic fresh fruit and vegetable juicing, nutritional supplements, and herbal and homeopathic medicines can help reduce the impact of the tumor burden and help mobilize her inherent recuperative healing mechanisms.
Relief for Depression, Anxiety from Sept. 11 May Take Time
The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were such a national tragedy, it was inevitable that people would be affected mentally. Recommended coping techniques and activities for reducing stress before it reaches a critical level include: Physical - Maintain proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep at least 8.25 hours each day; Community - Maintain relationships with friends and family and get involved with church, school and social service organizations, such as the food banks; Recreation - Take up a hobby and relax. The most important thing is to talk through your feelings.
Medical Schools To Include Alternative Medicine Classes
Medical schools are enriching the traditional medical curriculum with survey courses that provide an overview of the increasingly popular field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Medical students think this is important, if for no other reason than some of their future patients will be using these therapies, whether they approve or not. In order to treat these patients effectively, doctors need to understand exactly what their patients are doing. The medical schools' steady attempt to adapt to the alternative treatments of a growing proportion of the population is a great start for effective practice of a new generation of doctors.

The Healer Within
The experts are constantly practicing toward successful quieting of the mind and body. This particular technique assures a genuine state of relaxation by actually involving the body parts. In "Progressive Relaxation, Option I" Dr. Roger Jahnke offers you a technique perfect for those of you who wish to tap the benefits of the self-applied methods but have little prior experience.
Mind Over Matter
Have we allowed ourselves to bring about our own economic demise as the terrorists expected we would? Or are we willing to resume our activities, rebuild our economy and ultimately prove that terrorism is impotent? In "Survival Perspectives: from shock value to crisis" Barry Bittman, M.D. urges us not to allow shock value to transform itself into long-standing crisis. The choice is now ours. The future of America rests in each of our hands.
Understanding Homeopathy
Involuntary urination is ironically a problem experienced at both ends of a person's life, both during infancy and aging. Older adults have difficulty with bladder control usually because of either urinary tract disease, nervous system dysfunction, allergic response, ruptured disk, or psychological stress. Women tend to experience involuntary urination after childbirth, surgery, or inflammation of the urethra, while men tend to get it if they have a prostate problem. In "Homeopathic Medicines For Involuntary Urination" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. explains the common causes of this condition, and outlines homeopathic remedies that may resolve the problem, rather than just eliminate the symptom.
Integrative Dentistry
In "Myths and Misconceptions in Dentistry" Flora Parsa Stay D.D.S. draws on her 25 years of practicing dentistry to address the "fact and fiction" about wisdom teeth, fluoride, crowns, and mercury fillings.
Teeccino
Destress With Caffeine Free Herbal Coffee
Coffee drinkers may be surprised to learn that herbal coffee actually has nutritional benefits which help nourish and keep the body healthy. Coffee, on the other hand, only supplies the drug, caffeine, which stimulates your adrenal glands but does not provide energy - actually it could deplete the body's energy reserves. Teeccino is the first herbal coffee on the market - a blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted, ground and brewed just like coffee. Dark, rich, and full-bodied, Teeccino brings you all the satisfaction of a robust brew with no caffeine reaction. Teeccino tastes mildly sweet from dates and figs, with only 15 calories per cup.

Healthy Bookstore
If you are one of the nearly 80 percent of Americans hooked on caffeine--a natural component of coffee, tea, and chocolate and a common ingredient in drugs, soda, candy, and other products--"Caffeine Blues: Wake Up to the Hidden Dangers of America's #1 Drug" by Stephen Cherniske will be a wake-up call. Cherniske gathers a substantial amount of material from scientific journals and puts it all together logically and readably. Caffeine doesn't give you energy: it borrows from the adrenals and the liver on a short-term basis and creates metabolic and neurologic stress. After spending 300 pages documenting all of caffeine's evils, Cherniske finally offers a decaffeinated life line, a step-by-step, clinically proven program to help readers kick the habit and boost energy levels naturally.

Healthy Man Update
Most men experience hair loss as they get older; indeed, most men have some degree of baldness by age 60. This is quite normal and affects some men more than others, especially if baldness runs in the family. The American Institute of Preventive Medicine compiled the article "Hair Loss" detailing tips for tracking down hair loss cause, when to consult with a physician, and self-care tips to protect your hair from damage and loss.
Healthy Kitchen - Healthy Foods
Although we reach for the coffee or tea cup hoping to boost our energy, studies show that we are actually inducing a state of stress. In "The Hidden Link Between Stress, Aging and Caffeine" Caroline MacDougall outlines little known dangers of caffeine and tips for kicking the caffeine habit.
Caffeine has become a regular, overused stimulant in the Western world, with the United States leading in coffee and caffeine use. In "Nutritional Program for Caffeine Detoxification" Elson M. Haas M.D. expresses his concerns about this substance. Toxic chemicals are used in the many stages of growing and marketing coffee. Caffeine can be a lifetime drug for many. Caffeine products do not contain any of the nutrients needed to support the increased activity that they cause. Haas goes on to list the signs and symptoms of caffeine intoxication or abuse and details a caffeine support and detox nutrient program.
"Caffeine Free" by Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D., M.S.W., DHANP was compiled to help you to assess just how much caffeine you're ingesting and to seriously entertain the possibility of giving up caffeine completely, or at least of decreasing your caffeine intake. She takes you through your body - organ by organ - detailing the impact of caffeine. Then, she answers each of the excuses you will most likely be trying to make for why not to give up caffeine.
Healthy Alternatives
It's time to bite the bullet and admit that consciousness is another force altogether, on a par with matter and energy. We can accept the power of the mind in affecting bodily processes, but to talk interpersonally - that our consciousness can have an effect on other persons and events - is a major paradigm shift. In "Prayer as a Healing Force" Larry Dossey M.D reports that over 100 studies have shown that prayer does have a significant impact on recovery from a physical illness. Caution: Prayer can't save us from death or guarantee we won't get sick.
