Diabetes Epidemic Could Erase Reductions in Deaths and Hospitalizations due to Heart Disease
Researchers have documented a dramatic upsurge in
diabetes-related deaths and illnesses in New York
City—including a sharp increase in diabetic patients
hospitalized with heart attacks. They warn that this upsurge
in diabetic complications may end the long-term trend of
progressively fewer heart attacks and heart-attack deaths in
the U.S.
Reducing Soot Particles Is Associated with Longer Lives
An eight-year follow up to the landmark Harvard Six Cities
Study has found an association between people living longer
and cities reducing the amount of fine particulate matter,
or soot, in their air. The largest drops in mortality rates
were in cities with the greatest reduction in fine
particulate air pollution.
Even the Army Is Going Organic
The selection of organic products carried in military
commissaries is growing, and according to experts in the
field, it's a growing trend, not a short-term fad. The
larger stores have more than tripled the number of organic
products they have in stock. Organic food generally means
vegetables grown without the aid of pesticides, synthetic
fertilizers or sewage sludge, and animal products raised on
organic crops without antibiotics, growth hormones,
bioengineering or irradiation.

NATURAL
ALTERNATIVES
From Fatigued to Fantastic
One of the side effects of our modern environment and diet
has been an increase in illnesses such as autism and
hyperactivity. In "Hyperactivity" Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D.
states that it is important to recognize that these
conditions do not have a single cause but are rather the
common endpoint for many different problems. When we
understand these problems, it makes it easier to develop
effective treatment strategies.

Kaslof offers two case histories to illustrat how to restor
your animal's emotional well being. Treatment includes use
of flower remedies.

Research has shown beyond a scientific doubt that eating red
meat is a serious risk factor for breast cancer. In "Breast
Health Tip #20: Avoid Red Meat" Christine Horner, M.D.,
F.A.C.S explains how the dangers comes from structural
changes when meat is cooked at high temperatures. To replace
meat in your diet she offers delicious vegetable-based
meat-substitute cuisine options.
Healthy Child
In "Skin Rashes" the American Institute for Preventive
Medicine notes that most rashes are harmless and clear up on
their own within a few days. However, a few may need medical
attention. Guidelines are offered for determining the
difference.

READING
Healthy Bookstore - What to Eat
for Women
In "What to Eat: The Ten Things You Really Need to Know to
Eat Well and Be Healthy!" Luise Light, M.S., Ed.D. offers a
fascinating under-the-covers look at what happens when
government agencies climb in bed with big business. Dr Light
once worked for the USDA. She and other experts had proposed
a far healthier, science-based food pyramid that would have
encouraged real, whole foods only to see it deconstructed by
higher-ups kowtowing to the greedy grain cartel and
processed food industry. The FDA, too, has forgotten its
mission as America's "foremost consumer agency" as shown by
its approval of lethal drugs like Vioxx, neuro-toxic
ingredients like aspartame and a spurious health claim for
soy protein. Unhappily, she has plenty more evidence of
government corruption and industry arm twisting.

Nutrition Tips
The good news is age doesn't have to mean forgetful days,
heart attacks and brittle bones. In "To a Long and Healthy
Life" Lauri M. Aesoph, N.D. reports that your need for
certain nutrients rise as you get older, and explains what
to do about this.
Vegetarian Recipe
Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine offers you a
