Traumatic Events, Personal Or National, Can Change One's Course in Life
Transforming moments can be triggered by a cancer diagnosis, a failing heart, a faltering marriage, or a national tragedy. Call them what you will - moments of clarity, taking stock of your life, a flash of insight - they can bring us to our knees. And they can be used to motivate us toward positive lasting change. Set goals. Identify specific tasks. Nurture your relationships.

Vitamin Boost to Prevent Gum Disease

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
In "Eating Safely in a Polluted World: You Don’t Have to Choose Between Microbes and Chemicals! Part III: Hazards of Organochlorines" Leo Galland, M.D. notes that alarms have been raised about worldwide pollution with these chemicals, which include: the pesticide DDT, banned in the U.S. in 1972 but still sold by U.S. corporations to other countries and still found in our own soil and water; the herbicide dioxin; and PCBs, which have been widely used in making electronic equipment, plastic, inks, adhesives, rubber and carbonless duplicating paper. Food, milk and water everywhere contain organochlorines. In this column, Dr. Galland offers solutions to these troubling health hazards.

Mind Body Health Newsletter
Today, most people don't just want to live long lives. They want to live long healthy lives, or as the old adage puts it, "to die younger, as old as possible." Most of us want to add life to years, not just years to life. We all know people who have been very successful at aging - not just the "super elders" who run marathons, but ordinary people who maintain vital, active lives, even in the face of chronic illness, says David S. Sobel, M.D. in "The Keys to Healthy Aging." But what are the predictors of healthy aging? The results of a 16-year study of nearly 400 older men and women age 65-95 shed interesting light on some of the key factors.

Teeccino - Destress With Caffeine Free Herbal Coffee

Coffee drinkers may be surprised to learn that herbal coffee actually has nutritional benefits which help nourish and keep the body healthy. Coffee, on the other hand, only supplies the drug, caffeine, which stimulates your adrenal glands but does not provide energy - actually it could deplete the body's energy reserves. Teeccino is the first herbal coffee on the market - a blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted, ground and brewed just like coffee. 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.

Healthy Bookstore
" Connections...The Sacred Journey Between Two Points" by Carol Ross Edmonston is a moving and poetic story about one woman's journey through two separate diagnoses of breast cancer and the spiritual transformation and healing that followed. It is beautifully combined with the artistic creativity she discovered during that time. What started out as simple doodles quickly became sophisticated graphic art. This art form became an open-eyed meditation as she began to trust and have faith in the process, both with the art and in her medical adventure. She learned the importance of embracing the preciousness of the present moment and living life one moment at a time. This story is filled with inspiration and encouragement, inviting the reader to embrace whatever life offers, as a gift and one filled with treasures to behold and wisdom to share.

Osteopathy is a system of health care which recognizes that the self-healing, self-regulating ability of the body is dependent upon a number of factors, including favorable environmental conditions (internal and external), adequate nutrition and normal structural integrity. It utilizes generally accepted methods of diagnosis, as well as certain specialized ones developed to facilitate accurate structural assessment. It places special emphasis upon the importance of body mechanics, and uses manipulative techniques to detect and correct, faulty structure and function. In "What is Osteopathy?" Leon Chaitow N.D., D.O., M.R.O. clears up the common confusion that exists in both public and medical minds as to the distinction between osteopathic and other forms of physical treatment.
