CRN Voices Concern Over Irresponsible Conclusions Reached by Researchers in The Lancet
The Council for Responsible Nutrition reacted strongly to The Lancet meta-analysis on vitamin E and beta-carotene based on interpretations of previously published clinical trials. CRN points out that the researchers admit that their analysis 'does not disprove' the antioxidant hypothesis. In the same report the researchers outline a variety of approaches that could be taken in further studies, yet suggest that research on vitamin E and beta-carotene be stopped.

Tai Chi Gaining Popularity Among Recreational Therapies
According to the National Institutes of Health, 70 percent of all illness is due to unmanaged stress. Because mind/body therapies can treat or prevent these illnesses, the integration of tools such as Tai Chi into our health institutions could save the United States $700 billion per year, and save trillions per year worldwide. Tai Chi's gentle movements and low physical impact make it a great activity for aging bodies, those recovering from injury, or people looking to change up their exercise routine.

Simply Well
In "Create a Bigger Picture of Health" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., cautions against overconcern for personal health, as obsession with health can be every bit as wasteful of your human potential as ignorance and carelessness can be. He advocates creating a bigger vision where you put your personal concerns in perspective, and are subsumed and fulfilled by a greater need, a greater possibility, a greater love.

Conscious Relationships

THE EFFECTIVE & ADVANCED WAY OF NATURAL DETOXIFICATION

The Shu Li Pouch utilizes Far Infrafed Radiation (FIR) to stimulate the reflex points on the soles of the feet (doing it while you sleep). Representing the synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern western technology, Shu Li draws upon the concepts of acupressure, reflexology, far infrared radiation, essential oils, and the use of poultices. The Shu Li pouch encourages self-healing? by promoting improved circulation and absorbing toxins released by the body. Shu Li may help alleviate minor bodily pain, reduce swelling, and improve the quality of sleep. Using it over a period of time can promote a feeling of overall health, with less aches and pains.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
A large body of research over the past ninety years has demonstrated the preventive value of eating foods fermented with Lactobacilli or their cousins, Bifidobacteria. In "Friendly Bacteria" Leo Galland, M.D. explains how eating these friendly bacteria prevents intestinal infection due to viruses or pathogenic bacteria, preserves intestinal permeability in the face of infection, can prevent antibiotic-induced diarrhea and travelers diarrhea, and can lower serum cholesterol levels.

Healthy Alternatives
In "Scalp Acupuncture" George T. Lewith M.A., M.R.C.G.P., M.R.C.P. introduces this modern acupuncture method that has nothing to do with traditional Chinese medicine. The aim is to stimulate the diseased area of the brain in order to facilitate a return of function in that area. As all the scalp points are representations of the underlying functional areas of the brain, it follows that the most common use of scalp acupuncture will be in diseases in which there is brain damage, such as strokes or severe head injuries.

Healthy Woman Update
A theme that keeps recurring in nutritional medicine is that degenerative diseases are caused, at least in part, by our modern diet, which contains too much sugar, fat, salt, refined flour, caffeine, alcohol, processed foods, and food additives. In "Osteoporosis - What You Eat Affects Your Bones" Alan R. Gaby, M.D. points out that bone is living tissue directly related to what you put in your mouth. He offers dietary suggestions to support strong bones.

Mind-Body-Spirit
In "Divine Discontent" Jacquelyn Small L.C.S.W. discusses how we both fear and adore our passions and the delicious fruits of this earthly existence. This sensual/emotional feeling level of life is where many people experience the deepest splits, imbalances, and confusions. All these unintegrated desires and misunderstandings keep us divided within. Ultimately they keep us from becoming unified with the Inner Beloved, our Divine Self. For we dare not dream that a True Love so wonderful could live right inside our own skin. It is through this constant "divine discontent," this feeling of always seeking a greater identity, that you will eventually evolve into a replica of your Ideal.

Healthy Bookstore - Entering the Ghost River

September 11th called "Entering the Ghost River: Meditations on the Theory and Practice of Healing" into being. Deena Metzger takes us on a journey from North America to Africa, from the stories of her life to the myths of Spirit. Traveling the Ghost River connects the world of humans to the world of souls, spirits and our ancestors. At the exact moment the World Trade Center towers were hit, Deena and others were at an ancient sacred site in Masvingo, Africa, being initiated as healers. Two stories intersected in that moment, one headed toward destruction and the other toward healing. At the intersection of these two worlds, Deena asks the question: how do we create a story with a real future in which all beings are sustained?
