Adverse Drug Reactions Are 4th Leading Cause of Death
Reported adverse drug reactions in hospitals under monitored conditions and with “drugs that were properly prescribed and administered” are the 4th leading cause of death. By including all drugs prescribed by doctors for patients at home with no monitoring, and all drugs that people buy over-the-counter, [including nicotine, caffeine and alcohol], drugs would rival improper diet [causing heart disease and contributing to cancer] as a leading cause of death, claims a board-certified medical doctor.

Vitamins Help Lower Risk of Eye Disease
When it comes to preventing macular degeneration, the leading cause of legal blindness in Americans over 55, don't overlook vitamins. That's the word from scientists at the National Eye Institute who say antioxidants and zinc may help people at high risk for developing advanced age-related macular degeneration keep their vision. Researchers caution that the nutrients are not a cure for age-related macular degeneration, nor will they help restore vision already lost from the disease.

Back Pain from Backpacks
More and more young children are seeing chiropractors and other doctors for spine and neck problems due to heavy backpacks. According to doctors, backpacks should weigh in at 10 percent to 15 percent of their owner's weight, but are often 25 percent to 35 percent and pulling backs and necks out of whack. The problem is particularly bad in elementary and middle schools, where children are apt to bring unnecessary books home from school.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
Despite great advances in the treatment of infectious epidemics, trauma and critical care, modern medicine is failing in its mission. Childhood mortality rates around the world are rising and the major medical challenge of the twenty-first century--decreasing the burden of chronic illness and disability--is not being met. The reason lies in the faulty blueprint used to guide contemporary health care, according to Dr. Leo Galland in "The Foundation for Integrated Medicine Supporting Health Care for the Twenty-First Century."

When was the last time you laughed really hard - a hearty, sidesplitting belly laugh that suddenly grabbed you and sent you reeling out of control? Or you laughed so hard that you forgot what triggered it, leaving you laughing without reason? Modern science is beginning to confirm that this kind of laughter is not only enjoyable, it's also health-promoting, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Rx: Good Humor, Good Health." Laughter is an invigorating tonic that heightens and brightens mood, gently releasing us from tensions and social constraints. Dr. Sobel brings us up to date on what the research on humor shows and how we can use humor to stay healthy.

Keeping Fit
It is reported that the average American experiences a 7-pound weight gain between Thanksgiving and New Year's, then spends the next several weeks trying to lose as much of the excess as possible. Unfortunately, many people are unsuccessful in their weight reduction efforts, and wish that they had not added the holiday weight in the first place, says Dr. Wayne Westcott in "Survival Strategies For The Holiday Season." Most would agree that it is better to prevent unwanted weight gain than to remedy the situation later. But just how can we approach the festivities and abundant food supplies so prevalent throughout November and December to avoid overeating?Dr. Westcott has a few suggestions in that regard and recommends an exercise emphasis during this critical time of year.

Healthy Woman Update
Birth control pills are both the most effective and the most hazardous form of contraception. Preventing pregnancy in this way is done by taking an oral dose of a combination of the hormones estrogen and progestin (synthetic progesterone) in amounts higher than the body’s natural levels. This prevents the pituitary hormones that stimulate ovulation and fertilization of the egg from being released, and thus prevents pregnancy. In "Nutrient Program for Oral Contraceptives" Elson M. Haas, M.D. explains the nutrient deficiencies and excesses as well as increase the nutritional needs of the user.

Healthy Recipes - Fabulous Functional Foods
The notion that a green banana is a good banana is a grave mistake. Brown spots on the skin are not a sign of spoiling, but a sign that the bananas are ready to be consumed. Rather than just "consuming" them, however, consider turning your ripe bananas into a delicious dessert or snack worthy of a gourmet palette. Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan has created for you the recipe "Baked Bananas with Sweet, Sour, and Spicy Sauce." Note that all of the ingredients are natural and address the special diet considerations for: dairy-free, gluten-free, low fat, vegan, vegetarian, anti-cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel diseases.

Healthy Alternatives
Spinal manual therapy, of which chiropractors are the primary providers, has now been shown by reputable researchers to be the most demonstrably effective healing method for the most common kinds of lower back pain. Each year brings the publication of more studies (published in both medical and chiropractic journals), gradually expanding the range of conditions for which chiropractic should be considered a treatment of choice. In "Chiropractic: An Alternative Healing Art Enters The Mainstream" Daniel Redwood D.C. traces the history and development of this complex legacy.
