EDITOR'S PICK - QRS (QUANTRON RESONANCE SYSTEM)
THE "WAVE" OF THE FUTURE
Pulsating Electromagnetic Fields
Pulsating electromagnetic fields for health and healing are now here! Already producing benefits such as pain relief, stress reduction, and sleep improvement to European families, the QRS (Quantron Resonance System), an in-home health appliance, is now available in the U.S. Routine use of this simple technology - only 8 minutes twice a day comfortably lying on the QRS mat - enables the body to recover from illness and injury and reclaim its natural state of health. How can this happen? Subtle pulsating fields from the mat maximize cell functioning with no side effects. QRS is safe for babies, adults, elderly, even pets!

Simply Well
As the body, mind, and soul are always connected, exercising involves your mind and your spirit. In "Move Your Body and Move Your Soul" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., presents exercise as a natural way of achieving an altered state of consciousness in which the rational and problem-oriented mind is temporarily put on hold. A deep sense of connectedness to all life and a sense of inner knowledge are potential benefits when exercise is done consciously.
Keeping Fit
Lawn and gardening activities are always more effective, efficient and enjoyable when you are in good physical condition. In "Using Lawn and Garden Tools Safely" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. not only gives basic conditioning tips, but details specific suggestions for using equipment such as a rototiller, trimmer, lawnmower and spreader.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES
Mind Boosters
The combination ginkgo biloba and ginseng extracts can promote fast, accurate thinking, improve short and long-term memory retention, and reduce mental fatigue.

In "Chiropractic: An Alternative Healing Art Enters The Mainstream" Daniel Redwood D.C. traces the history and development of this complex legacy.

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT
Echoes of Silence
Our conditioned, patterned way of living may be disrupted by the unexpected. An accident, a sudden reversal of fortune, or the death of a loved one. Another way in which disruption may appear in our lives is through grace, an encounter with someone who has been overwhelmed by reality and who naturally projects that inner state out into the world, where it is experienced by others. In "Welcome Epiphanies" Robert Rabbin shares a personal example of this.
Music and Wellness
In "Rhythmaculture: The Roots of Community" Barry Bittman M.D. defines this as a culture that has integrated ritual, dance, song and music into almost every aspect of its existence, its expression of itself, and its celebration of life. As a physician, he studies group drumming to discover important insights for inspiring and bringing out the best in his patients.
