Bipolar Disorder Exacts Twice Depression's Toll In Workplace
Each U.S. worker with bipolar disorder averaged 65.5 lost workdays in a year, compared to 27.2 for major depression. Even though major depression is more than six times as prevalent, bipolar disorder costs the U.S. workplace nearly half as much — a disproportionately high $14.1 billion annually. Researchers traced the higher toll mostly to bipolar disorder's more severe depressive episodes rather than to its agitated manic periods.

Institute Of Medicine Reports That Medication Errors Harm 1.5 Million Patients Annually
When all types of errors are taken into account, a hospital patient can expect on average to be subjected to more than one medication error each day. Medication errors harm at least 1.5 million patients every year. This figure includes drug errors in hospitals, nursing homes, and among Medicare outpatients. But it is a conservative estimate because it does not account for drug errors in doctors’ offices or by patients themselves.

Continuing Our 12-Stage Journey to Wellness
This week our journey focuses on the power of SEX the 10th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The sexual revolution of the 70s had many positive effects on the social climate. It paved the way for more frank and open discussion of sex and sexual problems, made getting needed information on sexual matters easier, and has fostered a more tolerant attitude towards behaviors that once were condemned as unhealthy, deviant, or criminal. However, this new openness did not solve all our problems, and in fact, created new ones. This section will explore the many dimensions of our sexuality and suggest ways to expand our awareness of the precious aspect of life energy. exchange.

Healthy Alternatives
Before chelation infusion therapy is started a detailed study should be made of the patient to ensure that this is an appropriate approach to the problems of the individual. In "The Chelation Protocol" Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., M.R.O. outlines appropriate diagnostic tests, explains the chelation procedure, and alerts to possible side effects.

Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
In this age of widespread pollution, toxins, and stressful lifestyles that fuel the production of oxygen free radicals, most of us need more antioxidant protection than what we can get from our food. This fact becomes significant in the context of what Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S reports in "Breast Health Tip #10: Antioxidants." Taking supplemental antioxidants, like selenium, can lower your risk of breast cancer by as much as 50%.

Healthy Child
Fever is a sign of sickness. Your child may have an infection. In "Childhood Fever" the American Institute for Preventive Medicine presents parents with guidelines for evaluating a fever and when to treat. Reminder: Do not give aspirin to anyone under 19 years without doctors direction.

Healthy Bookstore - Optimal Digestive Health

According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 90 million Americans suffer from digestive disorders. Drawing on the expertise of 25 practitioners, "Optimal Digestive Health: A Complete Guide" by Trent W. Nichols, M.D. and Nancy Faass, M.S.W., M.P.H. explores the symptoms, possible causes, medical testing, and effective treatments for 30 digestive disorders, from candida and colitis to ulcers. In addition, the authors explain the role digestion plays in many other health conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches, mood swings, immune function, and skin problems. They provide clear information on detoxification, food allergies, and environmental factors, as well as meditation, qigong, and yoga.

Nutrition Tips
It is no news that proper weight management requires two things: managing food intake and getting adequate amounts of exercise. In "New Diet Breakthrough!" Sean Slovenski stresses that the important questions are: a) Is the diet healthy, and b) Is it doable and sustainable? Research shows that success of behavior change programs, such as weight management programs, can be improved 300% depending on how goals are set up and how the plans are supported.

There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!
Regardless of what ingredients are used, if the cook's consciousness is not prayerful, loving, or joyful ... that food will not be a healing food. Period. It is important to have a state of mind that is free of anger when you are preparing any meal. Instead be filled with heartfelt love for those (including the self!) who will be eating the food, joy in its preparation, and, most importantly, a sense of the Divine coming into the food. In "The Yogi's Secret Ingredient" Siri-Ved Kaur Khalsa shows why restaurant food becomes so tiring. It only satisfies the belly; rarely does it elevate, nurture and heal.

Mind/Body Health
Your decision about whether or not to have non-emergency surgery will be influenced by your expectations and understanding as well as the desires and biases of your surgeon. What patient can resist an enthusiastic surgeon? Apparently, the answer is other physicians, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Physicians Have Fewer Surgeries." When faced with a surgical decision, who better to be than a physician? You would be among the best informed consumers. You would be well aware of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the proposed procedure. And, according to the results of a new study, you would be less likely to have surgery at all.

Spiritual Wellness
Hundreds of scientific studies have documented the benefits of meditation. Yet a great many people have not come to see its practical value. In "Meditating on Meditation" Philip Goldberg points out that the most frequently mentioned excuses for not meditating are "I don't have time." and "I don't know how." With his over 30 years of experience meditating, you can believe him when he says these obstacles to regular meditation are easy to overcome.
