Multivitamins: Victim of a Truth Deficiency?
A recent article in the New York Times attacked multiple vitamins, warning of dangers of overdosing. Some view this as an attack by anti-vitamin activists against last year's article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that advocated the use of multiple vitamins by most of our population.
Pesticides Linked to Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is now the most common form of cancer in women worldwide and while the exact cause is unknown, risk factors include age, diet, the Pill, HRT, obesity and family history. Another risk factor is being considered, based on a recent study finding that women with breast cancer had higher pesticide residues in their bloodstream than healthy women. In fact, women diagnosed with breast cancer were five times more likely to have DDT residues and nine times more likely to have residues of HCB (hexachlorobenzene) in their blood than a control group.
Men Find Health Benefits with Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been cited by the World Health Organization to treat over 43 conditions. Using acupuncture to treat health problems of concern to men has been growing in popularity; a Kaiser study conducted in 1996 found that 57.2 percent of primary care physicians in Northern California used or recommended acupuncture in the previous year. And according to the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, nearly one out of every 10 adults in the United States has tried acupuncture.

Simply Well
Twenty-four hours a day your body is talking to you - giving you feedback about what it needs for its survival, its pleasure, its growth, and its balance. In "Inhabit Your Body and Love It" John W. Travis M.D., M.P.H., points out that many of those messages go unnoticed or unheeded because of ignorance or lack of appreciation, or simply due to preoccupation with other matters. To inhabit your body means to start listening to what it is saying to you and to trust what you hear.
Conscious Relationships
When couples have arguments about money, its almost never about money. In "Changing Your Fortune, Part 1" Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks share how the issue is often related to who is in control of the relationship. Other times it is caused when one or both partners is not accessing their creativity or expressing it in a satisfying way.
Healthy Sexuality
Sexually transmitted diseases are second to the common cold as the most common type of infection in the U.S. today. In "Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)" the American Institute of Preventive Medicine has compiled important Signs - Symptoms - Treatments, along with Self-Care Prevention Procedures.
NATURAL ALTERNATIVES
Integrative Dentistry
Those using binge eating, self-induced vomiting, vigorous exercise, and abuse of laxatives to keep weight down are also causing severe damage to their teeth. In "Bulimia and Oral Health" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. details how the frequent exposure of the teeth to stomach acids (hydrochloric acid) in vomit, chemically dissolve the enamel. The eroded surfaces result in teeth that are sensitive and more susceptible to cavities and infections.
Healthy Alternatives
The knowledge of Ayurveda is cognized knowledge that was revealed in totality. In "Ayurveda: Ancient Philosophy, Modern Research" Dr. Daniel Redwood interviews Hari Sharma, M.D about the origins and modern uses of Ayurveda, an ancient healing approach from India. Dr. Sharma explains the role of Transcendental Meditation, and how the practice of Ayurveda has changed through the centuries.

ALTERNATIVES FOR ADHD
A new, non-stimulant medication recently received FDA approval for the treatment of ADD/ADHD. In all the media hype surrounding this condition however, very little has been mentioned about alternative treatments for the cluster of symptoms known as ADD/ADHD. "Alternatives for ADHD" shares how some diligent parents have found their way to the ADD/ADHD treatment clinic at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health in Seattle, WA, and are surprised to learn about the numerous natural treatments available for treating the symptoms of ADD/ADHD.

Music and Wellness
It doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to realize music's impact on our lives. Music can trigger just about any emotion. In "Music and Medicine: The Universal Language of Mind, Body and Soul" Barry Bittman, M.D. reminds us that all forms of music are not understood, appreciated or enjoyed by everyone. For music therapy to be healing, it has to resonate with one's soul - it must be comprehended deep within.
