developed for military...
* End-stage cancers destroyed by botanical that even saved
Chernobyl victims...
* Heart failure reversed in 2 weeks. No more plaque!
Surgeons cancel bypasses...
* Arthritis pain completely erased in 2 days with enormous
relief in 15 minutes...
In this privately circulated report, we''re breaking the
silence...

Most Behaviors Preceding Major Causes Of Preventable Death Have Begun By Young Adulthood
By the time they reach early adulthood, a large proportion
of American youth have begun the poor practices contributing
to three leading causes of preventable death in the United
States: smoking, overweight and obesity, and alcohol abuse.
For nearly all groups surveyed, diet, activity level,
obesity, health care access, tobacco, alcohol and illicit
drug use, and likelihood of acquiring a sexually transmitted
disease worsened as the youth reached adulthood. By the time
they had reached adulthood, the participants were more
likely to be obese, to frequently eat fast food, and to be
sedentary.
Microrna Gene That Regulates Lifespan Found By Yale Scientists
Genes that control the timing of organ formation during
development also control timing of aging and death, and
provide evidence of a biological timing mechanism for aging.
Study results showed the developmental programs that these
genes regulate are modulated through insulin signaling,
demonstrating the connection between insulin-driven
metabolism and aging.
EPA Sued For Ignoring Lead Poisoning Hazards
A coalition of public health and community organizations
took the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to court for
failing to adopt lead-safe regulations for repairs and
renovations in older housing. By law, EPA is supposed to
require that certified contractors and workers trained in
lead-safe practices perform all remodeling in buildings
constructed before 1978. By law, EPA was required to have
its 'regulations to renovation or remodeling activities' in
place by October 28, 1996. These repair and renovation
regulations are considered the last major step towards
meeting the national goal of eliminating childhood lead
poisoning by 2010.

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of THINKING, the
7th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory
whole person assessment program. This stage of the journey
relates thinking to physical and mental health, and offers
some creative options for using thinking to improve your
wellbeing.
Simply Well
The noise pollution of modern society grows more strident
every year. Rest and quiet are necessary when you are
healing from illness, as well as when you simply want to
renew yourself. In "Cultivate Sanity through Silence" John
W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., offers you helpful hints for how
you can nourish yourself in a quieter home by eliminating
some unnecessary noise.
Keeping Fit
The hectic schedule of today's busy career woman makes it
challenging to fit in a fitness-weight loss program. In "The
Learning Curve for Women's Weight Loss Programs" Wayne L.
Westcott, Ph.D. explains why a comfortable program
alternating short bouts of strength exercise with aerobic
activity results in an effective, brief weight-loss workout.
INNER PEACE MUSIC
CHAKRA SUITE
Chakra Suite is the new incarnation of Spectrum Suite,
Steven Halpern's award-winning, classic recording which was
recently named "the most influential New Age healing
recording of all time."

NATURAL
ALTERNATIVES
Integrative Dentistry
Up to one million American adults may suffer from some
degree of burning mouth syndrome. There don''t seem to be any
particular factors that precipitate the symptoms. In
"Burning Mouth" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. explains that it
mostly starts in women approximately 3 years prior to
menopause and up to 12 years after. To receive the
appropriate treatment, it is very important to find out the
cause of BMS. Dr. Stay offers a sample questionnaire to
start with for finding the cause.
Healthy Alternatives
In "Foundations Of The Chiropractic Model" Daniel Redwood,
D.C. points out that we have seen a wealth of studies
demonstrating that spinal manipulation is effective, but it
is quite another matter to fully understand how and why. He
then provides an in-depth explanation.
Women''s Health Detective
If you suffer from chronic fatigue, extreme lethargy, breast
cancer, Parkinson''s disease, or symptoms your doctors can''t
trace back to any particular cause, the culprit may be a
lifetime buildup of toxic chemicals. In "The Danger In
Household Cleaning Products" Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. notes
that products you use in your kitchen, your bathroom, your
garage, and garden can make you sick. Your best solution is
to reduce your exposure to the toxins in everyday products.
Holistic Healthcare For Children
Children are naturally inquisitive, explorative,
demonstrative, and sensitive. Unfortunately,the majority of
schools demand that children conform to more or less rigid
expectations for behavior and admonish any significant
deviations. In "Attention Problems in Children" Randall
Neustaedter, O.M.D. offers parents tips toward greater
understanding of the child's true nature, plus natural
treatment options for when more is needed.
Healthy Woman Update
A headache, like any pain, is the body''s way of telling you
something''s wrong. It is a symptom of a larger problem, one
that you need to investigate. In "Healing Headaches Without
Aspirin" Lauri M. Aesoph, N.D. explains different types of
headaches and offers specific herbal and homeopathic
treatment options.
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 a holistic approach? The "Holistic Health
Care section includes the American Holistic Health
Association and American Association for Health Freedom
member databases.

READING
Healthy Bookstore - Allergy-Free Gardening
With allergy problems reaching alarming, epidemic levels, in
"Allergy-Free Gardening: The Revolutionary Guide to Healthy
Landscaping" horticulturist Thomas Ogren set out to
investigate the role that urban landscaping plays in this
urgent health crisis. What he discovered was startling: The
vastly disproportionate cultivation of all-male plant
varieties produces large amounts of intensely irritating
airbone pollen. This extensively researched, comprehensive,
plant-by-plant reference alerts gardeners and landscapers to
this long-ignored problem and helps them make landscaping
choices that can drastically reduce their exposure to
harmful allergens.

Raw Food Materia Medica
Mangos are a relative of cashew, pistachio and poison ivy.
Considered one of the planet's most delicious fruits,
mangoes are considered a yin tonic, providing moistening
fluids for the body and quenching thirst. They are are rich
in amino acids, beta-carotene, niacin, vitamin C,
flavonoids, vitamin E, calcium, iron, magnesium, and
potassium, and are high in pectin, which is useful in
lowering blood cholesterol levels.
Vegetarian
Recipe
Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine offers you a
vegetarian recipe for "Sweet and Sour Almonds on Rice."
SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE - ADVERTISEMENT
MOVIES THAT INSPIRE, HEAL AND TRANSFORM
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.
MIND-BODY-SPIRIT
The Healer Within
The traditional systems of medicine from the Asian cultures
have always had some type of massage stimulation to the
ears. In "Self-Applied Massage of the Ears" Dr. Roger Jahnke
details how through the reflexes of the Microsystems of the
ear all parts of the body can be influenced through pressure
massage to the ear.
Spiritual Wellness
There are traps in trying to be all good all the time. In
"How Good Is Good Enough?" Philip Goldberg discusses finding
the delicate balance between two opposite positions:
accepting who and what we are at every point along the path;
and always aspiring to do better. You might want to add a
couple of items to your New Years'' Resolutions: be kind to
yourself and keep your sense of humor.
WHOLE PERSON WELLNESS PROGRAM
BRING MORE BALANCE INTO YOUR LIFE
The Wellness Inventory is a pioneering "whole person"
assessment program that helps you gain personal insight into
your state of physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
