Heart: Standard drug therapy killing heart attack patient
Standard drug treatment after a heart attack may actually be hastening the patient’s death, a new study has discovered. Heart patients are routinely given a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug with Plavix (clopidogrel), an antiplatelet drug, but the combination could be increasing the risk of death by nearly 30 per cent if it's prescribed after a heart attack, say researchers from the Denver VA Medical Center.

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Moving
This week our journey focuses on Moving, the 5th of 12 keys to wellness in
the Wellness Inventory. Everything in us is moving. The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate. To be alive is to be moving. Inhibit the movement and you create illness. Stop movement and you are dead. Allow it fully and you realize wellness. Because of this movement, everything is changing from moment to moment. To block movement therefore is to block change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life. View more

8 Weeks to Vibrant Health - "Balance Your Diet, Balance Your Life-and Control Your Weight" - Hyla Cass, M.D. and Kathleen Barnes
Our Standard American Diet (SAD for short!) is anything but nourishing.

Your Eyesight and You: A Total Mind/Body Understanding of Vision - "Getting the Most from Your Eye Doctor - A Holistic Perspective" - Martin Sussman
Picture a visit to the optometrist or ophthalmologist and what do you think of? An eye chart on the wall on one side of the examining room and you in a chair on the opposite side trying to read the tiny letters on the bottom line, first with one eye then with the other. And, if you can read the bottom line, your vision is perfect. If you can't, you need glasses. Right? Not necessarily...

Integrator Blog - Forum on the IOM: AMI's Richard Sarnat, MD, Leader in Integrative Business, Offers a Report and Musings
One sign of the IOM's good faith effort to bring the best people to the table for the Summit was the invitation the IOM extended to Richard Sarnat, MD, to participate in one of the Summit's influential working groups. Sarnat co-founded Alternative Medicine Integration Group, the business that has brought us two of the most significant integrative care effectiveness experiments in the nation (HMO in Illinois, Medicaid in Florida). Sarnat takes the opportunity to summarize his perspectives on health reform, suggesting innovative polities, research models and business practices that came from discussions at the IOM. He lays out what he believes will support health-oriented, integrative practices that will break the cycle of of our degenerative addiction to disease-focused interventions. Sarnat calls on all of us to provide the grassroots backing that he believes such change will require.

Soil Not Oil: Environmental Justice in an Age of Climate Crisis
With Soil Not Oil, Vandana Shiva connects the dots between industrial agriculture and climate change. Shiva shows that a world beyond dependence on fossil fuels and globalization is both possible and necessary. Condemning industrial agriculture as a recipe for ecological and economic disaster, Shiva's champion is the small, independent farm: their greater productivity, their greater potential for social justice as they put more resources into the hands of the poor, and the biodiversity that is inherent to the traditional farming practiced in small-scale agriculture. What we need most in a time of changing climates and millions hungry, she argues, is sustainable, biologically diverse farms that are more resistant to disease, drought, and flood. In her trademark style, she draws solutions to our world's most pressing problems on the head of a pin: "The solution to climate change," she observes, "and the solution to poverty are the same."

Vegan Global Fusion - "Tofu Aioli" - Louise Hagler
This is the vegan version of the French garlic mayonnaise often served with seafood, but great with roasted potatoes, artichokes, greens, and greens beans. Early harvest garlic is much milder than garlic that has been sitting around for a while and sprouted, so adjust the amount of garlic you use to taste. Tofu takes the place of eggs in the mayonnaise.

Fabulous Functional Foods - Baked Bananas with Sweet, Sour, and Spicy Sauce
The notion that a green banana is a good banana is a grave mistake. Brown spots on the skin are not a sign of spoiling, but a sign that the bananas are ready to be consumed. Rather than just "consuming" them, however, consider turning your ripe bananas into a delicious dessert or snack worthy of a gourmet palette. Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan has created for you the recipe "Baked Bananas with Sweet, Sour, and Spicy Sauce." Note that all of the ingredients are natural and address the special diet considerations
for: Dairy-free; Gluten-free; Low Fat; Vegan; Vegetarian; Anti-cancer; Cardiovascular Disease; Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. View More

Wholistic Spiritual Healing - "The Healing Potential in a Word (Part 2)" - Daniel Benor, MD
Conventional medicine uses aggressive language, such as attack, fight and conquer diseases. By battling something we label as an enemy we are actually giving it lots of energy and perpetuating its negative existence. While this may work with a physical problem, it does not work with psychological, relational or spiritual problems. In "The Healing Potential in a Word (Part 2)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. discusses ways in which negative beliefs, traumas and emotions can be dealt with through acceptance, love, healing and forgiveness.

Spiritual Wellness - "Contemplating Sacred Stories" - Philip Goldberg, PhD
The scriptures of every tradition can be seen as multilayered gifts whose value grows with each new level of meaning we can unveil. In "Contemplating Sacred Stories" Philip Goldberg suggests digging deeper into spiritual texts to read metaphorically, not just literally. Stories that endurecentury after century, are those which resonate with archetypes embedded in the human psyche. We respond to the characters because they represent parts of ourselves, and we are moved by the plot developments because they reflect processes that unfold inwardly, in the landscape of the mind and spirit.
