Alzheimer's Detected without Symptoms
Scientists in England have used magnetic resonance imaging and a unique mapping technique to study subtle changes in the brains of Alzheimer's patients months before any outward behavioral symptoms appear. Using individuals who carried a genetic mutation making them strongly predisposed to the disease, researchers were able to diagnose with 100 percent accuracy the disease in these patients before they had any symptoms. There appears to be a pre-symptomatic phase lasting three years or more that includes increased rates of tissue loss. This research raises the hope that we might one day be able to intervene with therapy at a very early stage.

Hardening of Arteries Rampant: All Ages Showing Signs of Condition
A leading heart journal published a shocking article looking inside the coronary arteries of more than 200 hearts from healthy donors for heart transplantation. The findings? You'd better sit down. Of those 13-19 years of age, 17% had hardening of their coronary arteries. Of 20-29 37%; 30-39 60%; 40-49 71%; 50 years and older 85%. This is an epidemic! It means that if you are 50 or older, you have only a 15 percent chance of NOT already having arteriosclerosis of your coronary arteries - the yellow fatty material that builds up and hardens in your arteries.

House Panel Hears Emotional Debate on Stem Cell Research
The adoption of the children from excess embryos (left over after their genetic parents conceived using in vitro fertilization) puts yet another human face on the heated debate surrounding Federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, which many scientists say could lead to cures for countless diseases, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and diabetes. Advocates for the research have long argued that such research, which must destroy embryos to extract stem cells, would use only embryos that would otherwise be discarded at fertility clinics. Adopted embryos challenge that assumption. In the eyes of those who are opposed to embryonic stem cell research, the freezers of fertility clinics are 'frozen orphanages."

The Healer Within
The presence of special breathing practices in the ancient cultures has always been a mystery to people in the Western world. In "Every Seventh Breath Full and Relaxed" Dr. Roger Jahnke describes a technique that brings the consciousness of the breath and the benefits of breath practice to as much of one's daily activities as possible. Rather than the concentrated but brief effects of doing breathing exercises for a specific period of time, this method spreads the benefits of breath practice, pervasively, throughout the day. Take a deep, full, relaxed breath. As you exhale allow yourself to deeply relax. Then breath as usual. As you exhale allow yourself to deeply relax. Then breath as usual. After seven regular breaths, initiate another deep and full breath. For further details review the full column.

Mind Over Matter
Is there really a relationship between attitude and outcome? In "Healthy Attitude: survival 101" Barry Bittman, M.D. quotes numerous research findings that despite numerous technological advances of our era, outcome and survival are more than casually related to one's attitude. Pessimists are poor candidates for surviving challenging illnesses. What's your attitude?

Understanding Homeopathy
It is certainly understandable that parents want to do something to allay their infants' pain when teething. In "Homeopathic Pediatrics - Safer, Saner Medicines for Our Children" Dana Ullman outlines what homeopathy offers as an effective alternative to pain-killers, sedatives and local anesthetics. He also addresses homeopathic options for dealing with fever, colds, skin rashes, infants' colic and children's digestive problems.

Integrative Dentistry

In "Special Oral Health Care Needs of Women" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. outlines the special cautions for women who are dieting, women on birth control pills, pregnant women, and women treating for breast cancer and the potential correlating dental problems that might develop. For those in middle years and during menopause there are still other issues. This important information can prepare you for taking precautions.

Dark, rich, and full-bodied, Teeccino brings you all the satisfaction of a robust brew with no caffeine reaction. Teeccino tastes mildly sweet from dates and figs, with only 15 calories per cup.
