WILD ALASKAN SALMON

Vital Choice Wild Pacific Salmon is a pure and natural source of essential omega-3 fatty acids and powerful biological antioxidants. Each 3.5 ounce serving of our Alaskan sockeye contains a minimum of 1.2 grams of EPA & DHA, vital nutrients proven in clinical studies to promote optimal health and to prevent or ameliorate numerous adverse health conditions.

Wild Alaskan salmon, considered one of the best natural foods on the earth, is a far better choice than the nutritionally inferior, factory-farmed salmon which is now offered in stores nationwide. Farmed salmon is also destructive to the environment. The Vital Choice formula is simple: bring benefit to both our customers and producers by procuring the very best fish and delivering them in prime condition at a fair price.

Canada Professor Provides Overview on the Hazards of Genetically Engineered Foods
Considerable concerns about the potential hazards of genetically modified plants, animals, and micro-organisms have been expressed by ecologists, agronomists, microbiologists, veterinarians, physicians, toxicologists, and immunologists in the scientific literature. Coverage in the media, on the other hand, has been very inadequate. Article offers general public an opportunity to read about some of the studies.

Herb Science Group’s Letter Regarding Low Dosage in Echinacea Trial Published in New England Journal of Medicine
The New England Journal of Medicine has published a letter to the editor from the American Botanical Council regarding the low dosage of Echinacea extracts used in a recent a clinical trial that received heavy media coverage. One of the co-authors of the original trial responded to the ABC comments "I would like to see results from a higher dosage group, but NIH funding limitations didn't allow for this [in this trial]....I do think that a second trial with a higher dose is needed to answer the question on echinacea's effectiveness in limiting the symptoms resulting from rhinovirus infection."

Healthy Computing

From Fatigued to Fantastic
Do you think your problem is too much stomach acid? In "Eliminating Chronic Acid Reflux and Indigestion: How To Get Off Prescription Antacids Naturally!" Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. notes that we seem to forget that having stomach acid is both necessary and normal. We sometimes make the mistake of turning off our stomach acid to solve a problem, which causes new problems.

Healthy Alternatives
Prior to the Flexner report in 1910, consumers of healthcare in America enjoyed open access to all providers. The outcome of that report continues to distort healthcare in the US a century later. In "Electro-Molecular Medicine & The Symmetry Principle" Glen Gordon, M.D. states that it is past time that all therapies be equally available at individual discretion rather than by corrupt practices of vested interests. Electromagnetism is a prime example of science being rebuked by "pseudo-science", denying all persons a safe, effective intervention. Having witnessed the devastating effects of "managed healthcare", individuals should demand no less than our right to symmetry and open access.

Women's Health Detective
We typically review our diets and make New Year's resolutions the first of the year. Like me, I'll bet you've made — and broken — plenty of resolutions. These days, though, it's tough to know which diet you should follow. In "High Protein? High Carb? Your Best Diet May Surprise You" Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. offers an explanation of which diets are best for which types. She advises everyone to get enough protein. Eat more carbs if you're thin and burn energy faster. Eat fewer carbs if you have a weight problem. And, most importantly, concentrate on the quality of all the foods you eat.

Healthy Woman Update
How do you know when you need medical help for chest pain? It's not always easy to tell. In "Chest Pain" the American Institute for Preventive Medicine offers a list of conditions that can cause this symptom, along with self-care tips and guidelines for when to call your physician.

Healthy Bookstore - The Eye Care Revolution

In "The Eye Care Revolution: Prevent and Reverse Common Vision Problems" Robert Abel, Jr., M.D., a U.S.-trained ophthalmologist, has embraced the wisdom of non-Western medicine in his search to find ways to treat eye problems that Western medicine claims are "untreatable." From high-tech laser treatments to centuries-old Asian remedies, Dr. Abel's authoritative guide explains new and conventional methods to prevent and even reverse most common vision disorders.

Raw Food Materia Medica
Jicama, (pronounced HEE-ka-ma), is a root vegetable with high water content and is high in beta-carotene, B complex, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and potassium. Jicama's flavor is similar to water chestnut and many restaurants use it as a less expensive substitute.

There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!
There is a simple and beautiful tradition called Langar established about 500 years ago in India, in which all people regardless of caste, religion, race or gender, sit together as equals and share in a blessed meal. All of the food and labor is donated. It is considered a blessing and privilege to contribute in any way. The holiday season is a perfect time to bring this tradition into your local community. In "A Time To Share Together" Siri-Ved Kaur Khalsa provides recipes for Jalapeno Cornbread and Santa Fe Special Soup in quantities large enough to share with shelters in your area.

HEALING DRUM KIT - CHRISTINE STEVENS

The Healing Drum Kit includes: 10" Remo frame drum, 2 drumming CDs (2.5 hours), 78-page guidebook, 24 Rhythm cards.

The Healer Within
Every original culture on the planet earth has a system of "hands on" healing. In western cultures this is generally called massage. As the movement toward alternatives to drugs and surgery progresses, massage will emerge as one of our primary new, while actually ancient, therapeutic modalities. Hospitals, and even corporations, are hiring massage therapists to help with healing and to prevent the negative impacts of stress. In "Self-Applied Massage of the Feet" Dr. Roger Jahnke explains how to do self-applied massage to the feet.

Wholistic Spiritual Healing
In "Intuition (Part 4 of 5 parts)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. explains that living organisms have biological energy fields (biofields) around them. The biofields reflect the condition of the organism. Healers (and many others) can sense these fields with their hands. It is possible to access information about a person through the biofields regarding their physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual states.
