THEY CAN'T SILENCE US ALL!

Some of today's most courageous alternative doctors dare not speak publicly about the lifesaving new medicines they've discovered. These are not the familiar 'natural remedies' you read about elsewhere...and vested interests will do ANYTHING to prevent them from reaching YOU.

But we have the inside story on the greatest new medicines of our time...

* Killer flu knocked out in 8 hours with secret antidote developed for military...
* End-stage cancers destroyed by botanical that even saved Chernobyl victims...
* Heart failure reversed in 2 weeks. No more plaque! Surgeons cancel bypasses...
* Arthritis pain completely erased in 2 days with enormous relief in 15 minutes...
In this privately circulated report, we're breaking the silence about the greatest new medicines of our time...


HEALTH NEWS

OCA Statement on Nationwide Outbreak of E-Coli Poisoning from Bagged Spinach
The company whose fresh spinach was linked to an E. coli outbreak that's sickened at least 109 people packages both organic and conventionally grown spinach in separate areas at its facility. Health officials have cleared the organic produce and continue working to pinpoint the bacteria source. E. coli and other potent pathogens are known to migrate onto neighboring farms by contamination of surface water and groundwater and/or by becoming airborne through blowing dust from feedlots or farm fields where manure has been spread. There is concern that concentrated animal feeding operations, managing thousands of dairy cows each, may be the source of the current problem.


Overweight in Early Childhood Increases Chances for Obesity at Age 12
Children who are overweight as toddlers or preschoolers are more likely to be overweight or obese in early adolescence. Researchers note that these findings underscore the need to maintain a healthy weight beginning in early childhood. Obese adolescents are likely to become overweight adults and, as such, at risk for the complications of obesity - cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes.


Heart Drug: It Causes Major Gastric Problems
Aldactone (spironolactone) is a powerful diuretic that removes surplus fluid from the bloodstream or tissues, and can also prevent salt retention in patients with heart failure. A new study, involving 306,000 patients taking Aldactone, has discovered that it dramatically increases the risk of gastric or duodenal ulcer - in fact, by nearly three times. Patients considering this drug can now be told about the risks, and patients who are taking the drug can understand why they have serious stomach problems all of a sudden.

WELLNESS and HEALTHY LIVING

Continuing Our 12-Stage Journey to Wellness
This week our journey focuses on the power of TRANSCENDING, the 12th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The final form of energy in the wellness energy system is a subtle one that has only recently been given scientific credence. It is the realm of the transcendent or the spiritual (a word that's only now becoming acceptable in everyday speech). The human ability to transcend ordinary consciousness is actually an age-old gift that opens mind and heart to the potential of love, and to the miracle and magnificence of the moment, so often forgotten in the daily grind of our busy lives.


Simply Well
In "Create a Bigger Picture of Health" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., cautions against overconcern for personal health, as obsession with health can be every bit as wasteful of your human potential as ignorance and carelessness can be. He advocates creating a bigger vision where you put your personal concerns in perspective, and are subsumed and fulfilled by a greater need, a greater possibility, a greater love.


Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing
Intuition is something that can be taught. The magic of intuition is that it insists you live in the moment with no expectations, a continuing freshness. In "Five Steps to Intuitive Healing" Judith Orloff, M.D. brings you five steps that can be applied to any issue you'll ever confront from healing your body, to riding a roller-coaster of emotions to sexual awakening. These five steps can bring you the joy and clarity you've been searching for.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

Integrative Dentistry
In "Junk Food and the Oral Disease Connection" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. expresses her concern about the major impact on our children's oral health because of the excessive fat and sugar in the fast-food and junk foods they are getting at school. The teeth and gums are a living example of the old saying "you are what you eat." Maybe we should teach "we are what we are tomorrow, by what we eat today."


Healthy Alternatives
Why should skin disease be mediated through internal medication and not topical applications? In "Herbal Therapy for Skin Disorders" David L. Hoffmann, B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. explains why. Treatment should take into account the whole panoply of issues involved. Similarly, the widely held view that many skin problems are caused by 'nerves' is not very helpful. There is a deep and complex relationship between the epidermis and the nervous system.


Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10, is a vitamin-like substance and powerful antioxidant that is found in every cell in our body. It is absolutely essential for energy production in our cells. In "Breast Health Tip #11: CoQ10" Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S reports on research showing how CoQ10 levels in tumors are much lower than in normal tissues. When CoQ10 is given to breast cancer patients, some spectacular results have been seen.


Healthy Man Update
It's important to take care to avoid injury when exercising. In "First Aid For Sports Injuries" the American Institute for Preventive Medicine presents some typical injuries and practical ways to prevent them.

RECOMMENDED READING

Healthy Bookstore - Lifeforce:

Described as a path to renewed vitality; a new lease on life, in "Lifeforce: A Dynamic Plan For Health, Vitality and Weight Loss" Dr. Jeffrey McCombs (Robert D. Reed Publishers) introduces his successful regimen that patients have used to regenerate their bodies and overcome the struggle of systemic candida or "candidiasis." A frequently misunderstood and overlooked cause of ill health by conventional medical practitioners, McCombs developed The LifeForce Plan; a simple, effective detoxification/ dietary protocol for eliminating systemic candida and restoring the body's natural ability to balance itself. He explains that the reason candidiasis has become a problem and will continue to be a future major health concern is the overuse of, and toxic overload resulting from, antibiotics. Though weight loss is not the primary focus of the Plan, many patients find it to be a natural, effortless, result. Dr. McCombs makes clear why the LifeForce Plan succeeds where other anti-Candida diets have failed and how to regain control of your health.


HEALTHY KITCHEN

Nutrition Tips
In "Beverages" Elson M. Haas, M.D. reminds us that we all need to consume liquids to maintain life, and discusses why it is best for as much as possible of our liquid intake to be water. He reviews other favorite beverages, such as teas, fruit juices, coffee, vegetable juices, sodas, milk, and alcohol.

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT

The Healer Within
The basic technique of self-applied massage for the hands is the same as for the feet. However, the hands are much easier because they are so easy to reach. Without sitting down or having to remove your shoes you can go right to work. You can do this any where at any time. In "Self-Applied Massage of the Hands," Dr. Roger Jahnke explains how to do self-applied massage to the hands.


Wholistic Spiritual Healing
It is possible to know information without inputs through our five ordinary senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. We call these psychic impressions. They provide another level for intuitive awareness. Researchers have dissected psychic abilities into theoretical components. In "Intuition (Part 3 of 5 parts)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. details telepathy, clairsentience, precognition, retrocognition, and ESP.
