The Japanese have the longest life expectancy of any people
on earth. So of all of the thousands of health supplements
available, what natural product do they rely on to keep them
young and vital?
Is it high doses of vitamin C? A daily multivitamin? Co-Q10?
No, it's this doctors' little-known health secret you'll
read about in this special bulletin. American doctors are
latching onto it in droves.and you won't believe their own

Surgery With a Side of Fries: Burger & Pizza Joints Spread Like Cancer in U.S. Hospitals
Fast food is a glaring example that processed food is
increasingly displacing whole, natural food in the American
diet. A doctor and his colleagues cringe at the sight of new
burger and pizza places in medical centers. Hospital
administrators apparently like them as a source of revenue
and a draw for employees, visitors and even patients.
Doctors should model healthy lifestyles for their patients,
and hospitals should be places of inspiration and education
as well as centers for the treatment of disease. Fast food
has no place in them.
HHS Announces $15 Million Collaboration on Prevention for Older Americans
Older Americans are disproportionately affected by chronic
diseases and conditions. A collaboration, led by the
Administration on Aging and involving several Department of
Health and Human Services agencies and various public and
private organizations at the community level, will empower
older people to take more control of their own health
through life style and behavioral changes that have proven
effective in reducing the risk of disease and disability
among the elderly.
California Bans Vaccines with Hazardous Mercury-Based Preservative Thimersoral for Young Children & Pregnant Women
Vaccines containing a mercury-based preservative are now
largely off-limits to children younger than 3 and pregnant
women in California. The new law is aimed at reducing the
risk of neurodevelopmental problems such as autism, which
many parents believe can be traced to exposure to
thimerosal, a substance used as a preservative in many
vaccines.

WELLNESS and
HEALTHY LIVING
Simply Well
Commonsense safety is easily overlooked as an integral part
of a personal wellness program. In "Prevent Accidents" John
W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., reminds us that most accidents -
both in the home and on the road - are easily preventable.
He offers a memory jogger to encourage you to take action
where you need it.
Continuing Our 12-Stage Journey to Wellness
This week our journey focuses on BREATHING & RELAXING, the
second of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. We
can survive for many weeks without food, several days
without water, but without air, life ceases in a matter of
minutes. When the air is clear, your lungs strong, your body
relaxed, and your mind at peace, you experience total
wellbeing. Unfortunately, this ideal is seldom realized.
Staying Healthly Tips
In "10 Tips For Good Digestion" Elson M. Haas, M.D. offers
suggestions for "how" you eat, plus what to do to deal with
digestion problems.
Tips for a

skin cancer. Read "First Aid for Sunburn" for prevention
tips, plus what to do when minor or serious burns occur.

NATURAL
ALTERNATIVES
From Fatigued to Fantastic
In "Q & A on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia with
Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. - #5" Dr. Teitelbaum explains common
triggers for CHS/FMS, and how different triggers can cause
the same set of symptoms in different people.
Healthy Alternatives
Headaches are a common complaint and a notoriously difficult
one to treat effectively. In "Headaches" George T. Lewith,
M.A., M.R.C.G.P., M.R.C.P. describes how the majority of
headache sufferers obtain significant and long lasting pain
relief from acupuncture treatment. Migraines seem to respond
as well as, if not better than, other types of headache.
Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
Most famous for making bones and teeth strong by helping the
body to effectively use calcium and phosphorous, vitamin D
has another notable talent. In "Breast Health Tip #6:
Vitamin D" Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S explains how
vitamin D protects against and fights breast cancer. How it
helps to make a woman's breast cells more resistant to
toxins, decreases the ability of breast cells to divide,
stops tumor cells from growing, causes the death of tumor
cells, prevents new blood vessels from growing into a tumor,
and boosts the immune system.
Healthy Child
In "Teething" the What Doctors Don't Tell You staff tells
you about natural remedies that stop the pain and discomfort
of teething.

READING
Healthy Bookstore - I Need Your Love - Is That True?
In "I Need Your Love - Is That True?: How to Stop Seeking
Love, Approval, and Appreciation and Start Finding Them
Instead" Byron Katie reintroduces the form of
self-questioning called "The Work" that she originally
presented in "Loving What Is", but here she tackles
relationships — and what spoils them. According to Katie
(writing with the help of Michael Katz, who is also her
agent), rather than seeking love and approval from others,
you need to find them in yourself. And she suggests ways to
find love and acceptance in yourself.

Some conservative nutritionists believe that eating a
balanced diet provides all the vitamins you need. Michael
Janson, M.D. disagrees and supports his strong convictions

DR. ANDREW WEIL'S MIND-BODY TOOL KIT
The evidence is overwhelming: you can tap the power of your
mind to directly influence your health, using clinically
proven tools that anyone can master.
With Dr. Andrew Weil's Mind-Body Tool Kit, listeners join
the best-selling author along with three renowned colleagues
and friends - all leading specialists in alternative
medicine - to experience a potent prescription of
self-healing practices.
MIND-BODY-SPIRIT
Mind/Body Health
Most medical care today is provided via the brief office
visit - one person visits the doctor. Clearly appropriate in
some circumstances, this one-to-one model often falls short
of meeting patients' real needs - especially patients with
multiple chronic illnesses. "What if you could have a full
two-hour visit with your physician every month?" asks David
S. Sobel, M.D. in "Rethinking the Physician Visit" and "What
if during that visit you could learn not only from your
doctor, but from other members of the health care team as
well as from other patients with similar problems?"
Mind-Body-Spirit
Awareness transforms life's lessons into wisdom; it can
translate confusing circumstances and events into useful
knowledge. In "The Power of Awareness" Dan Millman asserts
that awareness is the beginning of all learning.
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.
