Alternative Medicine is Mainstream by Deepak Chopra, Dean Ornish, MD, Rustum Roy, PhD, and Andrew Weil, MD (from Wall Street Journal)
President-elect Barack Obama and former Sen. Tom Daschle (the nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services) understand that if we want to make affordable health care available to the 45 million Americans who do not have health insurance, then we need to address the fundamental causes of health and illness, and provide incentives for healthy ways of living rather than reimbursing only drugs and surgery. The latest scientific studies show that our bodies have a remarkable capacity to begin healing, and much more quickly than we had once realized, if we address the lifestyle factors that often cause these chronic diseases.

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Playing & Working
This week our journey focuses on the power of Playing and Working, the 8th of
12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on
work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry
instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing. View more

Healthy Living with Natural Medicine - "Modern Day Stress: No Recovery" - Holly Lucille, ND, RN
The traditional definition simply geared towards a physical event or a mental state requiring the body to respond just doesn't cut it anymore in a society where there are stressful influences coming at us from all different directions. Making the issue worse is the way individuals are choosing to respond to their perception of stress. The increase use of alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, sugar and energy drinks in response to dealing with everyday stressors are creating an even more stressful situation in the body, contributing even more to the adverse health conditions.
