Back pain: Alexander technique works best
The Alexander technique - which believes that poor posture can lead to a range of other problems - has this week been vindicated by research following years of derision and scepticism from the medical fraternity. It’s one of the best techniques for chronic and recurring back pain, researchers have found, and it's more effective than massage and exercise. View

Diabetes: Tap water may be a major cause
The water we drink from our taps may be an unsuspected cause of type II diabetes, the 'lifestyle' disease that can lead to heart problems and even death. Although doctors have thought the disease is brought on by poor diet and lack of exercise, scientists believe that low levels of inorganic arsenic that are found in all our public drinking water may well be another cause.

Overweight: It doesn't mean you're unhealthy

They are concerned that doctors are over-prescribing and inappropriately prescribing the drugs.

are ineffective, and now the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) wants
an immediate stop to the practice. View

Healthy Computing: "Breathe Effortlessly" - Erik Peper, Ph.D.
The moment most people begin keyboarding or mousing they increase their breathing rate. While working at the computer, adults' breathing rate increases by 30% to 18 breaths per minute, while the breathing rate of young boys playing computer games increases by 68% to 25 breaths per minute. This rapid breathing often contributes to sub-clinical hyperventilation, increased neck and shoulder tension and general fatigue. In "Breathe Effortlessly" Erik Peper, Ph.D. gives you tips to use breathing to relax.

Peak Vitality - "Mastering Your Cells" - Bruce Lipton
Cell biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton teaches us the secret to love, health, and prosperity. In his chapter in Peak Vitality: Raising the Threshold of Abundance in Our Material, Spiritual and Emotional Lives, Lipton writes: "Learning how to harness our minds to promote growth is the secret of life, which is why I refer to the new science as The Biology of Belief. As we become more conscious and rely less on subconscious automated programs, we become the masters of our fates rather than the 'victim' of our programs. In this way we can rewrite old, limiting perceptions and actively transform the character of our lives so that they are filled with the love, health, and prosperity that are our true birthrights.

Integrator Blog - Nutrition Research that Makes Sense: Moving to a Whole Systems Approach
Few integrative clinicians who use nutrition ever send a patient home with the entire conversation being, 'here, take this supplement.' In fact, in whole person practice, one supplement or herb is usually recommended in a context of diet change and other supplements - not to mention other therapies or lifestyle suggestions. In this interview, nutrition researcher David Barnes, PhD, now with Standard Process, urges a paradigm shift in research to better reflect how nutrition is used clinically.
