ADHD: Eli Lilly's Strattera - Swedish Test Disastrous
An FDA advisory panel recently recommended that stimulant
drugs, such as Ritalin, prescribed for Attention Deficit
(ADHD) should carry strong warnings after reports of strokes
and heart problems, including 25 sudden deaths, surfaced. A
study in Sweden to support approval of the antidepressant
Strattera for wide use had failed miserably.
Debate In Organic Community Over Factory Dairy Farms Being Allowed To Label Their Products As USDA Organic
A group which rates organic dairy brands based on their
adherence to accepted ethical practices and conduct, filed
complaints with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)
about serious breaches by a handful of large
industrial-scale dairy operations, asking for these farms to
be investigated. Even though there have been numerous
meetings and thousands of letters and e-mails from organic
farmers and consumers requesting that the USDA clamp down on
these factory farms, as well as surveys indicating
overwhelming support from organic dairy farmers for
enforcement actions against those who are scoffing at
federal organic law, the USDA have done nothing to date
Citizens Of The World Wake Up! - We Are Passing The 'Tipping Point
A crucial global warming "tipping point" for the Earth has
already been passed, with devastating consequences. Research
reveals that the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere has now crossed a threshold, set down by
scientists from around the world at a conference in Britain
last year, beyond which really dangerous climate change is
likely to be unstoppable. Governments must stop talking and
start spending. We already have the technology to allow us
to meet our growing need for energy while keeping a stable
climate. We must deploy it now.

WELLNESS and
HEALTHY LIVING
CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of TRANSCENDING,
the 12th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness
Inventory whole person assessment program. The final form of
energy in the wellness energy system is a subtle one that
has only recently been given scientific credence. It is the
realm of the transcendent or the spiritual (a word that's
only now becoming acceptable in everyday speech). The human
ability to transcend ordinary consciousness is actually an
age-old gift that opens mind and heart to the potential of
love, and to the miracle and magnificence of the moment, so
often forgotten in the daily grind of our busy lives.

Healthy Bookstore - The Fat Resistance Diet
No more counting carbs, calories, or fat grams! This
revolutionary diet plan works with your hormones to curb
your appetite, boost your metabolism, take weight off—and
