Simple Routine Best Cure for Tough Times 
One month after the most massive terrorist attack on American soil, amid talk of renewed terrorist acts and a tortuously long war, people are trying to find mental well-being in the simple and ordinary. Somehow, people are instinctively following routines to ward off depressing and anxious thoughts stemming from the attacks. Driving with the window down can help. So can walking your dog, watching baseball on TV, and buying a birthday cake for a co-worker. And then there's talking with friends. "That definitely helps."

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
In "Foods that Heal" Leo Galland, M.D. discusses detoxifying foods which protect against the effects of environmental pollution, free-radical induced cell damage and cancer through dietary anti-oxidants. Foods that are richest in these anti-oxidants are red, yellow and green vegetables, uncooked nuts and seeds (like almonds and sunflower seeds), and fish. He also outlines the important infection-fighting foods such as garlic, ginger, onions, and tumeric, as well as vegetables containing a high concentration of a group of natural chemicals called saponins, which have immune-stimulating and antibiotic effects--soybeans, chickpeas, bean sprouts, asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes and oats.

Mind Body Health Newsletter
Patients often only communicate symptoms such as pain, wheezing, swelling, and itching. Physicians often remain unaware of how the symptoms impact the patient’s life. Similar symptoms may have very different importance for different patients. It is critical that you communicate to your physician not only your symptoms but how important that symptom is to you and what it means to you. How much does the symptom interfere with your life, work, recreation, relationships, and plans? Your doctor isn’t a mind-reader, notes David Sobel, M.D. in "Tips for Communicating with Your Doctor." Even if he or she doesn’t ask (and it would be great if every doctor did), express your concerns, especially how the symptom limits your daily life. Be as specific as you can. Help your physician see the world through your eyes. The meaning of the symptom for you will help guide your doctor’s advice and actions.

Keeping Fit
Due largely to lifestyle factors that favor fast foods and sedentary pursuits, rather than nutritious meals and physical activity, many young people are overfat and underfit. Worse yet, they typically do not know how to change their situation in a positive and productive manner. In "Our Kids Need Help!" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. points out the need for responsible leadership in the essential elements of health and fitness, so that our youth will not become discouraged and never try to improve their physical condition.

Echoes of Silence
One does not come to insight and wisdom through reason and information. In "Gorging on Inspiration" Robert Rabbin states that the soul needs to feast-on inspiration. To know what must be known about ourselves, we must catapult from all that is reasonable. Let the silence that we are create a cataclysm of clarity in our lives. Let our doubts and confusion meet this living wholeness. Let our rage and torment meet this living wholeness. Let our efforts to bring peace into our lives and into the world meet this living wholeness, the sacred Self of all whose name is love, creator of the universe.

Acupressure massage is an ancient Oriental healing method that applies finger pressure to specific points on the skin surface to help prevent and treat illness. In " Acupressure for Menstrual Cramps" Susan M.

Healthy Kitchen - Healthy Sweeteners
Everyone knows that eating too much sugar is associated with tooth decay and gaining weight. However, according to scientific research, sugar's health effects reach well beyond your teeth and belly. In "The Sour Side of Sugar: Breaking the Sugar Habit for Better Health" Lauri M. Aesoph N.D. reports that too many sweets may increase your risk of Crohn's disease and heart disease, up uric acid levels (associated with gout), promote diabetes, jack up your appetite, and could even take years off your life. There's also evidence that sugar greatly impacts one of the most important systems of your body - the immune system.

We all have a craving for a sweet taste and usually satisfy this craving with sugar, "natural" sugar substitutes, or synthetic artificial sweeteners. Unfortunately, each has unhealthy consequences. In "Staying Healthy the Stevia Way" Ray Sahelian, M.D. and Donna Gates point out how stevia can be advantageous to practically everyone whose diet contains sweeteners, but particularly for diabetics, children, and those interested in decreasing caloric intake.

Healthy Alternatives
