Grilled Chicken: So That Can Cause Cancer Too
Fast-food chains such as McDonald's, Burger King and TGI Friday are being
sued by a group of doctors in America for serving grilled chicken that
contains the carcinogen PhlP. The group bought grilled chicken meals from
seven fast-food restaurants in California, and analyzed them in a
laboratory. Each contained the compound PhlP, which is one of the
carcinogens known as heterocyclic amines (HCAs) found in grilled meats.
Diabetes: The Drugs Don't Work, But Diet Does
There seems to be a symbiotic relationship between the more needy patient
and the doctor that's based on the fine, longstanding principles of the
quick fix or magic bullet - rather than improved diet changes and regular
exercise. Type 2 diabetes is the ultimate lifestyle disease of modern
times. As such it can be successfully treated by stopping the bad habits.
Despite this obvious remedy, doctors continue to look for a drug solution.
Soft Drinks: They Contain 10 Teaspoons of Sugar
How much sugar do you put in your tea or coffee, if at all? One teaspoon?
Two? If you're right there on the edge, it might be three. Well, every time
children down a standard 330ml can of some soft drink, they're drinking 10
teaspoonfuls of sugar, a new study has discovered. The sugar-free version
is not a healthy option, either, because that's full of aspartame, which,
as previous E-news reports have revealed, is the world's best ant poison.

HEALTHY LIVING
CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on EATING, the 4th of 12 keys to wellness in
the Wellness Inventory. Most Americans' eating patterns represent a public
health crisis. If a new disease erupted that was one tenth as destructive
as most people's diets, there would be a massive public outcry to find the
cure. The way many people eat is the result of a lifestyle that glorifies
immediate satisfaction and neglects the long-term consequences.
Simply Well
Although there is a mass of conflicting data surrounding the components of
sound nutrition practices, in "Learn Ten Basics about Food" John W. Travis,
M.D., M.P.H., provides you with certain recommendations that are almost
universally accepted. He challenges you to pick one to implement into your
daily diet over the next few weeks.
Healthy
Computing
Presently more laptops are sold than desktops. In "Healthy Computing:
Laptopitis" Erik Peper, Ph.D. offers tips to optimize the ergonomic
environment and reduce impact of common bad habits when using a laptop.

Autism diagnosis is based on lack of language development, lack of social
interaction, and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors. Some require that
you start from scratch, while others, especially tablets or capsules, are
available ready made.In "Autism: Children Who Can't Speak" Richard A.
Kunin, M.D. discusses a number of possible causes of this condition, and
the preventive role of vitamin A.
Healthy Alternatives
Curious about chelation therapy? In "Position Paper on EDTA Chelation
Therapy" the American College for Advancement in Medicine offers in-depth
background on this often controversial treatment protocol.
Women's Health Detective
Hot flashes drive thousands of women into taking hormone replacement
therapy, even when they have no other menopausal symptoms. In "Natural
Solutions To Your Hot Flashes" Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. explains what
causes this symptom and offers natural options, along with guidelines for
effective use.
Holistic Healthcare For Children
Although parents often believe that young children do not think about
tobacco or alcohol, prevention of these behaviors should probably begin
with 2 or 3 year-olds. In "Preschoolers Use of Cigarettes and Alcohol"
Randall Neustaedter, O.M.D. cites the disturbing results of a recent study
on the impact of parental actions and the media on children, and urges
parents to evaluate their own behavior as role models to create healthy
habits in their very impressionable children.
Healthy Woman Update
Menstrual cramps, or dysmenorrhea (as physicians call it), are one of the
most common healthcare problems that women suffer during their reproductive
years. In "What Are Menstrual Cramps?" Susan M. Lark, M.D. offers an
indepth understanding of the causes of this condition.

UCLA medical school, speaks and consults nationally. This book presents a
gentle but potent way to effect change. It shows -- How to perform mind

Raw Food Materia Medica
Bananas are not from a tree, but from a large perennial herb. They are rich
in carbohydrates, folic acid, B6, vitamin C, potassium and the fiber,
pectin. Bananas also provide long-term energy and improve stamina. They
stimulate the proliferation of cells that provide a protective coating
between the stomach and harsh acids. Bananas have been used to treat
alcoholism, arteriosclerosis, celiac disease, colitis, constipation,
depression, diarrhea, dyspepsia, exhaustion, hemorrhoids, hypertension,
weak muscles, and ulcers.
There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!
Used for its bright yellow color in everything from prepared mustard and
canned soups to Indian curry, Turmeric has been used for many centuries for
its many therapeutic qualities. Yogis and Ayurvedic healers know that
turmeric is a great internal healer, promoting healthy skin and mucus
membranes, good for creaky and painful joints, arthritis, the stomach, and
liver. Its anti-fungal properties also make it helpful in treating yeast
overgrowth. In "Turmeric, The Golden Healer" Siri-Ved Kaur Khalsa includes
recipes for Turmeric Paste, Golden Milk and Golden Yogurt.
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.
MIND-BODY-SPIRIT
Echoes of Silence
One does not come to insight and wisdom through reason and information. In
"Gorging on Inspiration" Robert Rabbin states that the soul needs to
feast-on inspiration. To know what must be known about ourselves, we must
catapult from all that is reasonable. Let the silence that we are create a
cataclysm of clarity in our lives. Let our doubts and confusion meet this
living wholeness. Let our rage and torment meet this living wholeness. Let
our efforts to bring peace into our lives and into the world meet this
living wholeness, the sacred Self of all whose name is love, creator of the
universe.
Spiritual Wellness
On the subject of worldly desires, spiritual traditions are somewhat
schizoid. In "The Two-Way Streetcar Named Desire" Philip Goldberg points
out the divergence of approaches from self-denial to going after the things
we desire with zeal. He offers tips to help self-correcting elements on the
spiritual path along by nudging your desires in the right direction.
