Centuries-Old Detoxification Procedure
Toxic occupational and agricultural chemicals that are stored in the body--and known to cause disease--can be significantly reduced by an Ayurvedic detoxification procedure. Recent study shows that this centuries-old purification procedure derived from the Ayurvedic medical system of India reduced several fat-soluble toxicants by about 50 percent.
Trans Fat Data to Be Added to Food Labels
The US FDA is moving to add a line to the nutrition label on every box, can and bottle of processed food. Sometime next year, the agency will require manufacturers to tell consumers how much of artery-damaging trans fat their products contain.
When Did 'Added Sugar' Become a Vital Nutrient?
The newly issued National Academies dietary guidelines indicate that sugar can account for up to 25 percent of daily caloric intake. How can the prestigious National Academies actually tell a nation of more than 160 million dangerously overweight adults and children that it's okay to consume candy bars, cake, ice cream and soda pop on a daily basis?

EDITOR'S PICK - THE MAGIC KEY WEIGHT-LOSS SYSTEM
Rapid, Safe Weight-Loss Without Diets, Pills Or Exercise
The Magic Key --
A new way to lose weight and keep it off, developed by a
famous psychologist who knows the pain of obesity personally.
Dr. Hendricks: "By age thirteen I was obese, but by
twenty-four I was more than 100 pounds overweight. My life
was dominated by the pain of being fat. I tried everything,
but nothing helped until one day that changed my life: I
found the Magic Key and my struggle finally ended. I lost
over a hundred pounds and never gained it back."
The Magic Key -- It's like nothing you've ever tried.
COLUMNS FROM THE EXPERTS
The Healer Within
The basic technique of self-applied massage for the hands is the same as for the feet. However, the hands are much easier because they are so easy to reach. Without sitting down or having to remove your shoes you can go right to work - any where at any time. In "Self-Applied Massage of the Hands" Dr. Roger Jahnke explains how to do self-applied massage to the hands.
Mind Over Matter
If you consider breast cancer unavoidable since your mother and sister both experienced it, you're in for a pleasant surprise. In "Cancer: It's Not All in the Genes!" Barry Bittman, M.D. reports on good and bad news in our struggle to discover a cure for cancer. The bad news is that genetic manipulation will not put a halt to cancer. On the positive side, the statistics indicate that even in the presence of the same genetic makeup (identical twins), the risk of developing the same type of cancer was surprisingly low.
Understanding Homeopathy
If surgery is medically necessary, homeopathic medicines can reduce complications of surgery and augment healing so that people can recover more quickly afterward. In "Pre-Surgical and Post-Surgical Treatment" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. outlines a number of homeopathic remedies that assist patients to deal with the fear and/or anxiety and those helpful for preventing infection, minimizing bleeding, and reducing surgical shock.
Staying Healthly Tips
September days are often a time of returning to a more consistent routine. In "10 Tips on Staying Healthy with Autumn" Elson M. Haas, M.D. suggests this season offers you a perfect opportunity to embrace your daily responsibilities in a renewed way. Make a list of goals to be complete by the end of the year, and see what it will take.

Healthy Bookstore - The Food Revolution
In "The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World" John Robbins boldly posits that, collectively, our personal diet can save ourselves and the world. If, according to chaos theory, the beating of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane in another part of the world, try this out for chaotic cause and effect: monarch butterflies are dying in droves due to genetically-engineered corn growing in the Midwest.

Healthy Man
Some physicians advise future parents -- both mother and father -- to improve their health at least six months prior to conception. In "Want a Healthy Baby? Moms and Dads get a Head Start" Lauri M. Aesoph N.D. discusses the importance of good nutrition, no drugs, and lowering stress level.
Mind Body Health
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. "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."
Music and Wellness
In "Drum Circles: An Ancient Methodology for a Modern World" Remo Belli explains how the ancient practice of drum circles has become a modern group activity being used as a tool for wellness and community building. This form of musical expression is more than entertainment, it has health promoting value.
