SPONSOR - DR. JONATHAN WRIGHT'S NUTRITION & HEALING

TREAT HEART TROUBLE WITH SUGAR AND MUSTARD

If you told your doctor he could effectively treat heart trouble, chronic disease and this type of cancer with... Sugar & Mustard... He'd say, "Baloney!"

While drugs just suppress symptoms, these spectacular new food & vitamin cures can beat your symptoms and cure the causes of chronic diseases.


HEALTH NEWS

Acupuncture Can Improve Chances of Successful Fertility Treatment
Doctors and scientists long skeptical about complementary therapies are increasingly convinced they can aid conventional medicine. Research shows that acupuncture can improve a woman's chances of successful fertility treatment. Patients on needle therapy during IVF had higher rates of pregnancy and lower rates of miscarriage.


Ten Year-old Dietary Supplement Law Keeps Potentially Unsafe Ingredients from Market
A new study concludes that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has rejected about 70 percent of the herbs submitted to the agency for safety acceptance. The report suggests that some of the "new" herbal ingredients proposed to FDA may be unsafe and that the FDA is fulfilling its role to protect the public from unsafe dietary supplements. However, further study shows that a lack of reporting guidelines resulting in improper submittals, not safety, is the main reason for these rejections. If more clarity were available, some of the rejected but safe herbs might be available and the public could benefit from new, low-cost herbal supplements.


Arthritis Responds To Weather, Acupuncture
People commonly claim the weather affects their joints. Now, U.S. researchers report arthritic joints really do get worse depending upon the weather, and traditional Chinese acupuncture can be an effective treatment for the condition.

Wescott provides you with both Cardiovascular and Muscular Fitness exercises you can adapt to meet your specific needs.
