New Study Supports Major Change In Diet Treatment For Diabetes
According to a new study, a low-fat vegan diet treats type 2 diabetes more effectively than a standard diabetes diet and may be more effective than single-agent therapy with oral diabetes drugs. The vegan diet represents a major departure from current diabetes diets, in that it placed no limits on calories, carbohydrates, or portions.

Keep It Cool With Hot Weather Advice For Older People
Older people are at high risk for developing heated-related illness because the ability to respond to summer heat can become less efficient with advancing years. The temperature does not have to hit 100 for a person to be at risk for hyperthermia. Both an individual's general health and/or lifestyle may increase the threat of a heat-related illness.

Open Letter To The FDA: Take The Widely Used Toxic Sweetener, Aspartame, Off The Market
The FDA's own audit on aspartame mentioned adenocarcinoma and brain tumors. Since l991 it has been known there was a mechanism that transforms NutraSweet/ aspartame into a known carcinogenic substance. 100% of unbiased independent studies show the connection of aspartame and brain tumors. Aspartame violates the Delaney Amendment which says if a product causes cancer in animals it cannot be put in food.

Continuing Our 12-Stage Journey to Wellness
This week our journey focuses on MOVING, the 5th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. Everything in us is moving. The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate. To be alive is to be moving. Inhibit the movement and you create illness. Stop movement and you are dead. Allow it fully and you realize wellness. Because of this movement, everything is changing from moment to moment. To block movement therefore is to block change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life.

Keeping Fit
Because an average-sized head weighs between 12 and 15 pounds, the neck muscles are extremely important for maintaining proper head position whether you are walking, standing or sitting. In "Don't Neglect The Neck" Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D. touts the benefits exercises for strong neck muscles as your basic defense against the force of gravity that constantly works to pull your head downward and forward.

Understanding Homeopathy
There is one simple reason that many conventional physicians have difficulty facing arthritic patients: there is little that conventional medicine offers them. The lucky ones get temporary relief along with drug side effects; the unlucky ones only get the side effects. Homeopathic medicine, on the other hand, is a natural pharmaceutical system that uses extremely small doses of substances from the plant, mineral, or animal kingdom to augment a person's own immune and defense system according to homeopathic expert Dana Ullman in "Homeopathic Medicines for Arthritis."

Healthy Alternatives
Osteopathic manipulative therapy restores physiological motion to areas in which there is restriction or dysfunction. In "Osteopathic Manipulation" Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., M.R.O. describes the wide variety of osteopathic manipulative methods available so that the doctor can take into account the individual needs of the patient.

Women's Health Detective
Your bones are not dry, dead sticks holding your body together. They're made from living tissue that is constantly breaking down and rebuilding itself. Old bone cells are being replaced with new ones in a process known as "remodeling." In "This Simple Laboratory Test Can Give You Early Information on Bone Loss" Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. explains how this test measures how quickly your bones are breaking down and how well they're rebuilding themselves.

Holistic Healthcare For Children
A recent study showed that children between the ages of 5 and 13 with bed-wetting were breastfed for a significantly shorter period of time in infancy than children who did not have bed-wetting. In "Does Breastfeeding Prevent Bed-Wetting?" Randall Neustaedter, O.M.D. alerts parents to this relationship to developmental progress in children.

Healthy Woman Update
In "Scientific Information on Black Cohosh For Menopause" the American Botanical Council reports on how black cohosh is used as a natural agent for treating menstrual and menopausal symptoms. This herbal preparation has been used in the majority of the clinical trials supporting its safety and efficacy for treating the physical and emotional symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, irritability and occasional sleeplessness associated with menopause.

Healthy Bookstore - Vibrational Medicine

"Vibrational Medicine: The #1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies (Third Edition) by Richard Gerber, M.D. provides a new scientific paradigm that strongly supports what spiritual healers have known for millennia. It explains this knowledge of the energy body in scientific terms that permits us to make a graceful transition from the Newtonian concept of health to the wholeness of the Einsteinian quantum worldview. Based on the fact that the body consists of electrical vibrations, Gerber's theories act as a conceptual bridge between allopathic and subtle-energy medicine. It includes an exhaustive treatment of homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, acupuncture, crystal healing, electrotherapy, radiology, radionics and psychic healing.

Raw Food Materia Medica
Lettuce is native to central Asia, and a member of the Daisy Family, making it a relative of sunflowers and artichokes. Lettuce is alkaline, cool, bitter and sweet. It helps dry dampness in the body, including phlegm and yeast overgrowth. It is also pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antispasmodic, diuretic, expectorant, galactagogue (increases mother's milk) and sedative. Lettuce has a slowing effect upon digestion.

There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!
The yogic tradition of cooking includes dishes that are simple to prepare and full of fantastic flavor as well! In "Flavorful Vegetarian Yogic Cooking" Siri-Veda Kaur Khalsa offers Triple Chili Veggie Pilau (helpful for the kidneys and digestion), plus Blissful Beets (great for liver detox and fiber for improved digestion).

Mind Over Matter
Absenteeism and poor work productivity are more common and potentially devastating than you might imagine. In "The Down Side: Employee Absenteeism" Barry Bittman, M.D. explains two important issues; Depressed workers are twice as likely to miss work due to health reasons than non-depressed workers; Decreased job performance is seven times more prevalent in depressed workers compared to non-depressed workers. Unfortunately the stigmata of mental illness often keeps the diagnosis of depression well-hidden. If you see symptoms of depression is a co-worker, consider delicately suggesting medical attention.

Wholistic Spiritual Healing
Intuition is the inner knowing that comes without outer sensory stimuli. It is the modality that senses most deeply, yet one that our society has valued least. In "Intuition (Part 1 of 5 parts)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. discusses how intuitions surface to consciousness from unknown sources and through channels that are usually below our everyday awareness.
