Americans Cry Out For Health Expertise
Placing 47 million Americans at risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke, metabolic syndrome is characterized by abdominal fat, high blood pressure, poor cholesterol and high blood sugar. Keenly aware of the problem, Americans are seeking a solution. But they need health expertise to learn to get fit effectively and to answer questions: What does the latest scientific research say about the link between physical activity and preventive health? How does nutrition affect exercise performance? Recognizing that physical activity and nutrition are symbiotic and crucial to preventive health, Bastyr University offers a bachelor of science degree program in exercise science and wellness, applying a holistic approach to exercise training, therapy and performance.


Drug-Free Therapy Gives Patients Reprieve from Panic Disorder
A recent study showed that four out of five patients suffering from panic disorder remained symptom-free six months after they stopped taking medication to treat the often-debilitating illness. The secret may lie in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) - a psychological-based treatment the subjects received after halting their prescribed medication. CBT helps patients understand the nature of panic disorder and also helps them to change their reactions toward anxiety-provoking situations.


Men, Women Cope with Stress in Different Ways
When life's burdens lead to depression, men and women respond quite differently. Women may cry, while men get angry. Women, when upset, tend to ruminate while men are more likely than women to use alcohol to take the edge off. Neither works. Both men and women might benefit from therapeutic talks. That way, they'll find more effective solutions to their problems.

Healthy Bookstore
 Though traditional or conventional psychology--humanistic or transpersonal psychology excepted--tends to ignore the spiritual, this aspect of life is significant to most people. Richard Wolman, Ph.D., a psychologist, psychotherapist, and faculty member at Harvard Medical School, bases "Thinking Of Your Soul: Spiritual Intelligence and Why It Matters" on a firm belief that everyone has spiritual intelligence and that recognizing and working with it is important for a person's total well-being. He has devised and offers here his PsychoMatrix Spirituality Inventory (PSI), which establishes a person's spirituality profile by measuring seven spiritual factors: divinity, mindfulness, intellectuality, community, extrasensory perception, childhood spirituality, and trauma.

NEWS FROM THE VILLAGE

Featured Center
Our Cancer Center offers a broad vision of leading experts and systems for alternative and complementary cancer care, from nutritional perspectives on adjunct cancer care to herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, naturopathy, and mind/body medicine to metabolic and biological therapies.

Healthy Man Update
Great attention is being given to plants with anti-fertility properties. These may act through effects upon sperm motility and viability, implantation of the fertilized egg or a rejection effect within the uterus. The biochemistry of these different pathways is complex, and the study of plants having such effects is revealing new mechanisms all the time. In "Herbs, Fertility and Contraception" David L. Hoffmann B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. particularly addresses Mexican, Chinese and Ayurvedic research with both men and women.


Healthy Kitchen - Healthy Recipes
"Cancer Cookbook: Making It Nutritious and Delicious" by Patrick Quillin Ph.D., R.D. was written with the cancer patient in mind and can also be helpful to people who want to eat properly but have little time to spend in the kitchen. Online is a sample chapter with valuable tips, such as reviews of all of the diets developed for the cancer patient with a compilation of their common nutrition principles. It goes on to remind us of the synegistic forces in foods and the "superfoods", such as yogurt, garlic, carotenoids, cruciferous vegetables, mushrooms, legumes. Don't miss the recipe for the Dragon-Slayer Shake.


Healthy Alternatives
The goals of religious meditation extend far beyond its potential physical health benefits. In "Meditation and Relaxation" Daniel Redwood, D.C. covers different types and methods of meditation, plus Dr. Herbert Benson's relaxation response, meditation's effects on muscle tension and pain, and changes in brainwaves and enhanced perception.


Association Network -- Hot Pick
The Optometric Extension Program Foundation (OEP) is an international, non-profit organization dedicated to educating the general public about the importance of visual hygiene, the prevention of visual and ocular problems, and the development and enhancement of vision. Behavioral optometry seeks to treat the causes of visual disorders rather than merely compensate for refractive error.
