Avoiding The Flu This Winter
With all the anthrax concern lately, it's not surprising that people may begin to wonder if that scratchy throat or sneeze is a symptom of the rare disease. A good way to stay healthy and prevent the flu is to exercise regularly, eat well, get plenty of sleep, take vitamins and wash your hands frequently.

Media, Violence Link Clear
Violence in entertainment and aggressive behavior in children have a closer correlation than secondhand smoke and lung cancer. While better media rating systems might help, it's still up to parents to poke their heads in and monitor what their kids are watching. The American Academy of Pediatrics is now recommending that pediatricians incorporate a child's media history in annual health exams.

Study Indicates Prayer May Help Healing Process
Heart patients who were prayed for along with getting coronary stents appeared to have better outcomes than patients who got stents alone, according to a recent study. A larger study, which will ultimately include 1,500 patients at nine sites around the United States, is now under way. Patients are very interested in these types of treatments, particularly in the role spirituality and prayer play in their health and health care.

The Healer Within
Because we are generally addicted to complexity and busyness, reaching a state of authentic relaxation is a challenge. Many of us are locked into worry, hurry, overwork and compulsive behaviors and the mind is very difficult to quit. The beauty of progressive relaxation processes are their simplicity and their ability to allow the mind to have an easy focus. In "Progressive Relaxation, Option III" Dr. Roger Jahnke presents advanced relaxation and meditation methods which include concentration, focus, intention and visualization that are used to regulate the body function, move the Qi or energy to specific areas of the body and even project the energy outside the body.

Mind Over Matter
Fear, anxiety, worry, outright panic and uncertainty. Reactions to threats of terrorism? Not necessarily. These are the emotions of cancer patients as they deal with "internal terrorism." In "Uncertainty: mixed emotions and cancer" Barry Bittman, M.D. unites us with the concept of these shared experiences. He further stresses that in both situations there is choice about how we face the uncertainty of tomorrow and every tomorrow thereafter.

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.

Mind Boosters
The root of the ginseng plant has been used in China, Japan, and Korea for many centuries in the therapy of psychiatric and neurological disorders. In "Ginseng Improves Mood in Postmenopausal Women" Ray Sahelian, M.D. presents data on a Norwegian study performed to assess the effects of a standardized ginseng extract on quality of life and on hormone levels in symptomatic postmenopausal women.

BodyBalance
Catch The Warning Signs Of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is often referred to as a silent disease because in many affected people, bone loss is gradual and without symptoms or warning signs until the disease is advanced. The good news about osteoporosis is that it is preventable. Identifying elevated levels of bone loss early will allow you to take preventative steps before excessive damage occurs. BodyBalance's OsteoCheck reveals your current rate of bone loss with a single urine sample. This health screen measures the amount of deoxypyridinium in urine, a vital marker in determining bone loss. Early detection and preventative treatment are the keys to avoiding painful fractures and spinal deformities associated with bone loss.

Healthy Child Update
"Acne" by David L. Hoffmann B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. addresses this common problem that is a potentially disfiguring skin disease. Unfortunately, it often affects those in an emotionally vulnerable stage of life - adolescence. He lists actions indicated for the processes behind this disease and specific herbal remedies, diet and hygiene recommendations to support healing.

Healthy Kitchen - Healthy Foods
The way we eat influences our health even more than the foods we choose to eat. In "Foods, Diets, and The Environment" Elson M. Haas M.D. discusses the many factors involved in eating to achieve a balance of physical nourishment, mental relaxation, and emotional harmony. These goals are easily undermined when we let certain patterns develop and lose our sense of eating as a way of nourishing body, mind, and spirit. What is your relationship with food?

Healthy Alternatives
In the West the vast majority of people use acupuncture as an alternative treatment for pain, and are surprised when other complaints are suddenly improved. In "What Happens When You Have Acupuncture?" George T. Lewith M.A., M.R.C.G.P., M.R.C.P. explains the whole body approach of acupuncture and removes the mystery of what happens during and after a treatment.
