Holistic Nursing Achieves American Nursing Association Specialty Status
The profession of Holistic Nursing has attained new levels of acceptance,
now officially recognized by the American Nurses Association (ANA) as a
nursing specialty with a defined scope and standards of practice. Having
holistic nursing recognized as a specialty gives holistic nurses legitimacy
and authority within the mainstream of their profession and credibility in
the eyes of the health care world.
The Heart Of Healing Conference
The health care crisis has many people looking for inventive methods to
stay healthy, find deeper healing or overcome a health crisis. As more and
more professionals inquire about the whole rather than just the parts of
the person, it is possible to find new ways to heal. When you look beyond
just the physical body, you can enter into a deep healing process or
journey, which encourages discovery, as you determine and examine the
underlying cause of your ailment instead of having the doctor solely treat
your presenting symptom.
Relieve Infant Colic With Massage
Colic stems from problems with the infant's immature digestive system.
Trapped gas may cause the baby's stomach to become distended, resulting in
pain, bloating, the inability to pass gas, and frequent crying or
screaming. Luckily, stimulation of the digestive process through careful
massage may help ease the pain and urge relief from colic.

M.D., M.P.H., offers you some delightful options for taking a seriousness
break and encourages you to schedule time for doing something fun or for
just doing nothing.

Nutritional Medicine and Longevity
Vitamin B12 does not fit the mold of the deficiency diseases theory, or the
one-disease-one-drug model of medicine that is taught in medical schools.
The most important medical fact about vitamin B12 is that deficiency does
not show up only as anemia. In "Vitamin B12: Under Appreciated" Richard A.
Kunin, M.D. details important facts, including nerve and brain symptoms
which need to be treated promptly or the damage may be permanent.
Healthy Alternatives
In "The Birth of Osteopathy" Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., M.R.O. places the
beginnings of osteopathy in the context of the dark age of medicine, and
shows a practical system of structural therapeutics that has never been
invalidated by later discoveries.
Women's Health Detective
Anyone who has experienced the pain of a migraine knows how debilitating it
can be. In "End Your Migraines … Without Medications" Nan Kathryn Fuchs,
Ph.D. looks at the various causes and offers natural options for treatment.

In "Homeopathy Proven Successful For ADHD" Randall Neustaedter, O.M.D.

and ADHD). An important component of this system includes the prescription
of constitutional homeopathic medicines according the principles of
classical homeopathy.

There is an accumulation of evidence that chronic hostility and chronic
depression are major risk factors in heart disease. For many patients, it
may be as important to learn and practice skills for managing these
emotional states as it is to quit smoking, manage cholesterol, and
exercise. In "Hostility, Depression and Heart Disease" David S. Sobel, M.D.
outlines the statistics and suggested solutions.
Wholistic Spiritual Healing
Since you program your body through life experiences and metaphors, it is
possible to "read" body symptoms and interpret the metaphors and
psychological meanings behind these. Daniel J. Benor, M.D. believes that
you are the best one to interpret your own body's messages. In "The Body
(Part 4)" he provides tips for how to do this.
