Predicting a Heart Attack: Medicine Gets It Wrong Too Many Times
Medicine has come up with a series of charts, tables and measures that predict just how likely you are to get a heart attack. Unfortunately, the predictive charts are hopeless at getting it right, as researchers have just discovered. People who are at greater risk of heart disease often get marked down as low risk patients, and vice versa.

Herbs For Memory
Stress, anxiety, and preoccupation with powerful issues or problems can imbalance the mind and body, making simple tasks such as memory more difficult. Problems with memory often boil down to an inability to concentrate. Try fixing the problem at its source by treating memory problems with Gingko Biloba, the most famous of memory-enhancing supplements.

Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Not the Cause of Health Care "Crisis," Public Citizen Report Shows
Despite claims by business and medical lobbying interests and the government, there is no medical malpractice lawsuit crisis in America. A new report reveals that the real problems are a lack of attention to patient safety, the high incidence of preventable medical error, and the lack of accountability for a small set of doctors who account for a majority of medical malpractice payments.

A study on aging found that for men the frequency of sexual intercourse was associated with lower death rates. For women the enjoyment of intercourse was associated with longer life. In "Sex May Prolong Life" David S. Sobel, M.D. shows us studies exist to help us understand and enhance the health benefits of one of the most common, and certainly most pleasurable activities we humans experience.

Understanding Homeopathy
Conventional medical treatments tend to focus on treating or controlling symptoms. Whereas, natural therapeutics primarily attend to augmenting the person's own inherent defenses. Although the direct treatment of symptoms often has immediate effects, its benefits tend to be short-term and the individuals remain prone to a recurrence of their problem. In "Homeopathic Medicine And The Immune System" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. goes on to explain how homeopathic medicines are correctly used in conjunction with the body’s immune system.

Chest pain can be a warning sign for many things. It is most often linked to a heart attack, especially in men.

In "Women's Health: Chest Pain" the American Institute for Preventive Medicine explains what the pain might indicate and how to evaluate how you should respond.
