discovered a natural formula that could prevent and even
cure cancer. Her findings, which were barred from the
medical journals, are now finally available in an updated
English translation. To learn more about this incredible
black-listed formula visit:

Lather Up: Hand Washing First Line of Defense
Your mother was right. Washing your hands is always a great idea. Before and after handling food, after playing with pets, before eating and whenever you're sick or around people who are, washing your hands is the first line of defense against infectious disease. Now with concerns about anthrax doctors advise washing your hands after handling mail. And remember one important thing about anthrax: It is not spread from person to person.

Dr. Galland's Integrated
Medicine
Iron is unique among essential minerals, because there is no mechanism for its excretion once absorbed into the body. Whatever iron is absorbed must either be used or stored and excessive storage of iron in the body promotes the generation of free radicals. In "Dangers of Iron Supplements" Dr. Galland reports that excess dietary iron has been implicated by some scientists as a cause of cancer and heart disease, and that it also increases the risk of bacterial infection. "No one should ever take iron supplements unless iron deficiency is present," says Dr. Galland, "with the possible exception of pregnant women."
Mind Body Health Newsletter
Most illnesses result from a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, behavioral, and psychosocial factors. Rarely is any one of these factors the sole cause of a disease. For example, many people exposed to germs do not develop illness. Many suffer psychological stress and trauma and stay healthy. Our understanding of most diseases is still quite primitive, reports Dr. David Sobel in "The Mind/Body Guilt Syndrome." We know very little about why some people exposed to stressors such as germs and traumatic experiences become ill while others remain healthy. Mind matters, but mind cannot always triumph over matter. Sometimes the biology of disease is simply overwhelming.
Keeping Fit
Body composition is not something you do, like 10 push-ups or 50 sit-ups. In "Body Composition - The Most Important Fitness Component" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. explains that our body is composed of two types of tissues known as fat weight and lean weight. As we age, we typically lose about five pounds of muscle and add about 15 pounds of fat every decade of life. Excess body fat is a major health risk associated with many medical problems, including low back pain, type II diabetes, various forms of cancer, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Restoration of desirable body composition requires a dual solution (muscle replacement and fat reduction) - remembering that only strength training is effective for replacing muscle tissue.
