WHO to Promote Alternative Medicine
In response to a rapid increase in the use of alternative medicine over the last decade, the World Health Organization has created the first global strategy for traditional medicine. The U.N. health agency aims to bring traditional, or alternative, therapies out of the shadows by intensifying research into their effectiveness and safety, by promoting their proper use and regulation and by helping countries integrate them into their health care services.
Complementary Therapies 'Popular Among Sick Children'
Seattle researchers found 63 per cent of children with long-term illnesses used some form of complementary or alternative medicine. The findings also suggested that research is needed to better understand patient preferences and beliefs, and to study the effects of alternative medicines on health, well-being and disease management. This study is significant because complementary therapies are being utilized by this complex and often fragile group of patients and may be influencing outcomes.
Chambers Pass Bill Registering Naturopathic Doctors
The Kansas State House has passed a bill which would register naturopathic doctors under the Kansas Board of Healing Arts but not license them. The measure, which has been debated in one form or another for several years, would allow graduates of naturopathic medical colleges to prescribe natural, non-prescription medicines, perform non-invasive physical examinations, and provide heath care and nutritional counseling. It also would allow them to administer intravenous therapy under a written protocol from a medical doctor. The legislation is now on its way to the governor.

COLUMNS FROM THE EXPERTS
Dr. Galland's Integrated
Medicine
In "Eating Safely in a Polluted World - You Don’t Have to Choose Between Microbes and Chemicals! Part III: Hazards of Organochlorines" Leo Galland, M.D. notes that alarms have been raised about worldwide pollution with these chemicals, which include: the pesticide DDT, banned in the U.S. in 1972 but still sold by U.S. corporations to other countries and still found in our own soil and water; the herbicide dioxin; and PCBs, which have been widely used in making electronic equipment, plastic, inks, adhesives, rubber and carbonless duplicating paper. Food, milk and water everywhere contain organochlorines. Dr. Galland offers solutions to these troubling health hazards.
Mind Body Health Newsletter
For most of us, the modern-day world seems to be spinning faster and faster. Computers, faxes, pagers, car phones and automated tellers, far from saving time, seem to add pressure. According to a Harris survey, in 1990 the average American had 37% less leisure time than in 1973. "Leisure" time is crammed full of activities, commitments, and responsibilities. Even our children feel the pressure of a chock-full day: school, music lessons, soccer practice, and homework, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Rx: Halting Time Pressure.
Keeping Fit
Although skill is essential for top-level tennis, technique development is easier if you are fit — which is also the critical factor for staying power during the second and third sets. In "Strength Training For Tennis" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. offers basic and advanced programs specifically designed for those serious about becoming better tennis players.
Echoes of Silence
Silence is the recognition that thoughts about life are not life itself. In "Touching Life in Silence" Robert Rabbin reminds us that if we stay in touch with life through Silence, life will stay in touch with us. In this way, we become life itself, not thoughts about life. And then the mystery of life, the magic of life, and the beauty of life become our life.

NEWS FROM THE VILLAGE
Healthy Home
Stopped up drains are an upsetting event. In "Clogged Drains" Annie Berthold-Bond of Care2 recommends that to help drains stay clear washing soda is an excellent choice because, while it has an alkaline pH of 11, it isn’t as caustic and damaging as commonly used lye-based commercial products.

Healthy Recipes - Fabulous Functional Foods
Imagine a bread every bit as substantial and savory as wholegrain bread, but containing no grains. Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan brings us this recipe for "Hazelnut Bread” which is suitable for people allergic to gluten, those following the “Specific Carbohydrate Diet," and those following other low carbohydrate diets. The large amount of flaxseed provides plenty of Omega-3 PUFAs and phytoestrogens.
Healthy Alternatives
Cigarette smoking, the main way we take in nicotine, is the single greatest cause of preventable diseases and probably creates the most difficult addiction of the commonly used drugs.
