Stroke: The Cinderella Of Health Problems
What's the difference between a stroke and a heart attack? To the victim
and his family, probably not a lot. But to the doctor, it's considered a
low priority, even though it can be every much a killer as a heart attack.
Are You Drug Naïve? Then Count Your Blessings
There is an expression that seems to be all the rage within the pharma
culture in the U.S.: it's 'drug-naïve'. It refers to a patient who has
never before taken a pharmaceutical drug. A 'Hot Prospect' as someone who
has not yet discovered the side effects.
Morning Sickness: It's All To Do With A Bad Diet
Morning sickness seems to come with the territory for some women in the
first few months of pregnancy. And scientists now reckon they know the
reason. It could all be down to the woman's diet - it's the body's way of
protecting the fetus from a 'bad' diet. A woman who eats healthily is more
likely to sail through the first few months of pregnancy without any of the
unpleasant symptoms of morning sickness, unlike the woman whose diet is
predominantly made up of processed and fast foods.

EDITOR'S PICK - LIFEFORCE
LIFEFORCE: A DYNAMIC PLAN FOR HEALTH, VITALITY, AND WEIGHT LOSS
Tired of being tired? For many people waking up exhausted is "just another
day," and headaches, joint pain, weight issues, allergies and digestive
problems seem to be a part of everyday life. Often these symptoms may be
related to systemic candidiasis; a type of fungus that often spreads
throughout the body and affects numerous organs and tissues. Dr. Jeffrey
McCombs, through his twenty-two years of practice, has developed The
LifeForce Plan™; a successful, effective, detoxification/dietary protocol
to eliminate systemic Candidiasis and help restore your body’s vitality.
It’s somewhat miraculous results are achieved through a time-proven
approach that reverses the ravaging effects of antibiotics and transforms
the way you look and feel about yourself.

HEALTHY LIVING
Continuing Our 12-Stage Journey to Wellness
This week our journey focuses on the power of COMMUNICATING, the 9th of 12
keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment
program. This section focuses almost exclusively on verbal communication,
exploring the dynamics of how people talk to themselves and one another. It
also looks at the breakdowns in communication that can occur. As you come
to understand and appreciate this process, you may simultaneously
understand and appreciate yourself. The clearer the channel (you), the
better the possibilities for a meaningful encounter--a dynamic energy
exchange.
Simply Well
Music alters the body and the mind. In "Explore Healing Music and Sounds"
John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., reminds us that music can enhance deep
relaxation, supply you with new energy, stimulate creativity, and even
transport you into other states of consciousness - depending on the type of
music you choose.
Keeping Fit
The reality is that time-pressured people do not feel they have time to
perform multiple sets of a series of strength exercise. In "Implementing A
High-Intensity Strength Training Program" Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D. reports
that beginning exercisers can do just a single-set of each strength
training exercise and still get improved body composition, increased muscle
strength and reduced resting blood pressure.
Tips for a
Healthy Summer
Our personal cooling system can fail if we overexert ourselves on hot and
humid days. Read "First Aid for Heat Exhaustion & Heat Stroke" for
prevention tips, plus how to quickly respond to emergency situations.

NATURAL
ALTERNATIVES
Understanding Homeopathy
It is sometimes difficult to stomach gas, heartburn, and indigestion pains.
The fact of the matter is that your digestive symptoms are defenses of your
body. In "Homeopathic Medicines For Indigestion, Gas, And Heartburn:
Natural Remedies You Can Stomach" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. outlines common
symptoms, what they indicate, and which specific homeopathic remedies are
appropriate to consider.
Healthy Alternatives
Carbohydrates are probably the most important of the three main classes of
foods since they are our main source of energy and should constitute at
least 50–60 percent of the diet. In "Carbohydrates" Elson M. Haas,
M.D. discusses the three principal carbohydrates present in foods - sugars,
starches, and fiber.
Women's Health Detective
You probably know that stress can make you tired, depressed, cause
insomnia, and lead to weight gain. But did you know that it pulls calcium
out of your bones? In "What You Haven't Been Told About The
Stress-Osteoporosis Connection And How To Reduce Your Risk" Nan Kathryn
Fuchs, Ph.D. explains why chronic stress can lead to brittle bones even
after you've done everything else right.
Holistic Healthcare For Children
Impaired digestive function is one of the most common problems of the first
three to six months of life. Although many infants grow out of these
symptoms on their own as the digestive tract matures, in "Treating Reflux
(Gerd) In Infants" Randall Neustaedter, O.M.D. offers parents several forms
of treatment that can soothe the symptoms and normalize the digestive
function of their infants.
Healthy Woman Update
One of the most common complaints in any medical practice is fatigue. In
"Nutritional Program For Fatigue" Michael Janson, M.D. talks about eating
properly, exercising, and reducing emotional stressors can help increase
your energy. In addition, he discusses avoiding food allergens and
environmental toxins helps reduce exposure to the chemical stressors. While
a general dietary supplement is often adequate to help fatigue due to
nutritional imbalances or borderline deficiencies, he notes that treatment
may require medical management in addition to lifestyle change and dietary
supplements.

Healthy Bookstore - Gentle Birth Choices
New parents are faced with a myriad of choices about pregnancy, labor, and
birth. In "Gentle Birth Choices" Barbara Harper, R.N., renowned childbirth
advocate, nurse, former midwife, and mother of three, helps to clarify
these choices and shows how to plan a meaningful, family-centered birth
experience. She dispels medical myths and reimagines birth without fear,
pain, or violence. Harper explains the numerous gentle birth choices
available, including giving birth in an independent birth center, at home,
or in a hospital birthing room; finding a primary caregiver who shares your
philosophy of birth; and deciding how to best use current technologies.

Raw Food Materia Medica
Peas are members of the Pea Family, making them relatives of beans and
peanuts. Peas are considered alkaline, neutral in temperature, moistening
and sweet. They are tonifying to the liver, spleen, pancreas, and stomach.
They may help reduce the risk of heart disease, stabilize blood sugar
levels and help strengthen the stomach. Peas have been used to relieve
anemia, boils, and high cholesterol, constipation, coughs, diabetes,
hypoglycemia, edema, coughs, spasms, and ulcer pain.

Would you be shocked to learn of a roughly 300% increase in overweight
children and adolescents over the last 40 years? In "A Healthy Summer: For
Overweight Kids" Barry Bittman, M.D. presents two scenarios. One is a
child's typical poor diet, no exercise day. The second describes a day with
