HEALTH NEWS

Aromatherapy Oils May Kill Superbugs
Essential oils normally used in aromatherapy could be used to kill deadly MRSA bacteria. In university tests three essential oils killed MRSA and e coli bacteria within two minutes of contact.


Oily Fish Helps Keep Dementia in Check
Scottish scientists revealed that people who eat oily fish or take fish oil supplements are less likely to show early signs of Alzheimer's disease. They found that the omega-3 oil slows down the brain's ageing process by up to two years. And fish oil helped volunteers score on average 13 per cent higher in IQ tests.


Health Savings Account Gaining
In their first year on the market, the new health savings accounts - and the high-deductible insurance that accompanies them - have appealed to thousands of people eager to escape galloping health premiums. The Health Savings Accounts or HSAs, as the accounts are called, are part of a growing movement in health care to make consumers more liable for costs while giving them more choice over how they spend their money.

EDITOR'S PICK - SOUNDS TRUE - WISDOM FOR THE INNER LIFE

FENG SHUI HOME STUDY COURSE

If you're like most people who've tried Feng Shui, you've probably realized there's a lot more to this ancient Chinese art than clearing away clutter and rearranging the furniture. But with all the resources on the subject, have you ever wondered where should you turn for guidance you can trust, changes you'll actually make, and the tangible results you want? The answer is the Feng Shui Home Study Course- the first ever comprehensive audio curriculum for transforming your home environment into a place of peace, prosperity, health, and harmony.

WELLNESS and HEALTHY LIVING

JOIN US ON A 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on SENSING, the third of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. It is through the senses--seeing, touching, smelling, hearing, tasting--that we come to know and enjoy the world. Our abilities to work, to feel pleasure, to communicate with others, and to impact the world are directly related to our abilities to appreciate and use our sensory input efficiently and creatively.


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.


Staying Healthly Tips
As a doctor, Elson M. Haas, M.D. views any problem from the deeper true causes, which most often have to do with lifestyle choices – the way we live. In "The Purification Process: Healing for Modern Times" Dr. Haas recommends cleaning up your act, your relationships, and your planet.


SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE- ADVERTISEMENT

MOVIES THAT INSPIRE, HEAL AND TRANSFORM
GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA!

The SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE offers a service that's unique and deeply needed. The CIRCLE gives you a way to bring hours of inspiring entertainment into your life each month, while making an important contribution to the world. In addition, it's an incredible bargain. If, like me, you love movies, but you find it harder and harder to go to theaters because of the violence, emptiness and overall lack of quality and imagination that most of the current crop represents, The CIRCLE is a wonderful opportunity.

Give the Spiritual Cinema Circle as a Gift!


NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

From Fatigued to Fantastic
In "Q and A on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia with Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. - #7" Dr. Teitelbaum responds to concerned questions about what are the triggers for a gradual onset of CFS/FMS.


Healthy Alternatives
There are over eighty different types of massage therapy and bodywork. Many are variations on each other, often developed by a practitioner who is trained in one particular approach and then goes on to develop his or her own variety, with its own new "brand name." In "Varieties and Techniques of Massage and Bodywork" William Collinge, M.P.H., Ph.D. breaks them down into five categories -- Traditional European Massage, Contemporary Western Massage, Structural/ Functional/ Movement Integration, Oriental Methods, Energetic Methods (Non-oriental) -- and explains each.


Healthy Woman Update
For a woman, menopause is perhaps the most crucial transition she will experience in her life. In "Making Menopause A More Comfortable Transition" Janet Zand, L.Ac., O.M.D. presents natural, rather than drug, support of this natural process.


Find an Alternative Healthcare Professional
The Professional Referral Network contains searchable directories for 20 leading professional associations in complementary and integrative health care, with over 17,000 professionals. Looking for a healthcare professional specializing in bodywork? The Bodywork and Somatic Therapies section includes the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia, Hellerwork International, and The Trager Institute member databases.


RECOMMENDED READING

Healthy Bookstore - Relieving Pain Naturally

For millions of Americans, severe pain is a fact of everyday life. Standard medicine commonly offers relief through drug therapies. While often effective, these medications come with a host of side effects, from drowsiness to addiction. While many sufferers would prefer nondrug options, much of the available information on alternative pain treatment is scattered, incomplete, and in many instances, out of date--or it was, until now. In "Relieving Pain Naturally: A Complete Guide to Drug-Free Pain Management" professional health writers, Dr. Sylvia Goldfarb and Roberta Waddell, have designed a comprehensive guide to drug-free pain management.

Nutrition Tips
In the United States more than four billion chickens are consumed each year; that is more than fifty pounds per person. The next most common bird is turkey, which has been associated with holiday celebrations and feasts. In "Poultry and Eggs" Elson M. Haas, M.D. covers the nutritional value, calories, and cooking options, plus benefits of finding the more "natural" or "organic" chickens and eggs for consumption.


Vegetarian Recipe
Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine offers you a vegetarian recipe for "White Bean Dip with Lemon and Garlic."


SWEETLEAF STEVIA - ADVERTISEMENT

ALL NATURAL HERBAL SWEETENER - ZERO CALORIES, ZERO CARBOHYDRATES, ZERO GLYCEMIC INDEX, AND ZERO CHEMICALS!

Used worldwide as an no-calorie herbal sweetener, the leaves of the Stevia plant has a refreshing taste that can be 30 times sweeter than sugar. SweetLeaf SteviaPlus is now available in convenient packets or powder form. Also try SteviaClear liquid for sweetening beverages and cooking.


MIND-BODY-SPIRIT

Mind Over Matter
The start of a new year is a good time to welcome new opportunities for personal growth. It's also a time to establish personal commitments to better ourselves. In "Resolutions for the New Year: Goal Setting 101" Barry Bittman, M.D. recommends we develop a plan for achieving what has the potential to make a significant difference in our life - a choice and a commitment that yields greater happiness, security, or peace of mind.


Mind/Body Health
Different from physical-vital energy, emotional energy creates the feeling impulse to move toward our goals; we call it motivation. In "Emotional Talent" Dan Millman explains that emotional talent is the capacity to stimulate and draw upon one's natural fountain of energy. Developing emotional talent is learning to blow into our own sails.
