Sedentary TV time may cut life short
A study found that every hour spent in front of the television per day brings with it an 11 percent greater risk of premature death from all causes, and an 18 percent greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. The findings apply to both obese and overweight people as well as people with a healthy weight because prolonged periods of sitting have an unhealthy influence on blood sugar and blood fat levels.

Finding a Healthy Balance: Insights into Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine - "Acupuncture For Fertility" - Byron Russell, LAc
Here is a small summary of the use of acupuncture for fertility issues from Acupuncture.com, October 2009. I was particularly struck by the comment on a study from the British Medical Journal showing nearly twice as many live births for IVF when acupuncture is added.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be used in combination with conventional reproductive medical care or as a primary treatment approach. Acupuncture can be effective for women taking fertility drugs or reproductive technology techniques (such as IVF or IUI). Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine can also be effective as a stand-alone approach to treat infertility for those not undergoing conventional medical treatment. View more

Integrator Blog - Integrative Practitioners in Senate's Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) Section of Reform Bill
An additional significant place where integrative practitioners gained an explicit foothold in Congressional action relative to health reform is in the comparative effectiveness research (CER) language in SB 3590. Gretchen DuBeau, executive director of the Alliance for Natural Health-USA shared with the Integrator that her association worked closely with US Senators Kent Conrad and Barbara Mikuski to secure the inclusion. Interestingly, ANH-USA, despite its work, is deeply concerned about the outcomes of the CER movement, and in fact opposes the reform legislation. The relevant sections are printed here.

Sensational Stevia Recipes - "Wonderful White Chocolate Chip-Cherry Cookies" - Lisa Jobs
White chocolate isn't really "chocolate" at all because it contains only the fat from the cocoa bean and other non-chocolate ingredients. So it's important to choose white chocolate chips or baking bars that contain only the cocoa butter as the "fat" ingredient. Avoid products that are all sugar, hard vegetable fat and have artificial chocolate flavoring. You see, the labeling rules for regular chocolate don't apply to white chocolate, so you need to read labels! Ghirardelli is one brand that has cocoa butter for a better chocolate flavor and contains less artificial ingredients. Jobs offers this recipe for Wonderful White Chocolate Chip-Cherry Cookies excerpted from her book Sensational Stevia Desserts. View More

Healing Power of the Mind - "Worry Yourself Sick, Think Yourself Well!" - Martin Rossman, MD
Imagery is a flow of thoughts you can see, hear, feel, smell or taste. It is the expression of dreams and daydreams; memories and reminiscence; plans, projections and possibilities. It is the language of the arts, the emotions, and most important, of the deeper self. Everyone uses imagery. When we worry, we’re using imagery unconsciously, and often to our own detriment.

Mind Over Matter - "Healing: An Individual Perspective" - Barry Bittman, MD
"Healing" means "to make sound or whole, or to restore to health." It also refers to causing an undesirable condition to be overcome. In the context of mind-body medicine, what affects the mind clearly and indistinguishably affects the body and visa versa. In "Healing: An Individual Perspective" Barry Bittman, M.D. points out our tendency to ignore what is really bothering us. He urges us to better deal with the issues that stress us. Take time to stop and contemplate the way we really feel. Get in touch with our feelings. Ask ourselves whether it's the issue or our perspective that's causing us pain.
