American Botanical Council Announces New Safety Information on Kava
The American Botanical Council (ABC) is suggesting that consumers follow additional precautions when using kava, an herb used for reducing symptoms of anxiety and stress. Recent case reports from Europe suggest a possible association of some kava products and liver problems. No reports of adverse liver effects of kava have been published in the U.S. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has indicated that there are a small number of adverse events in its unpublished database.

The Power Of Prayer And Yoga
Recent research supports the belief in the power of prayer and yoga for health purposes. Previous studies suggest praying for patients in intensive care is beneficial, even if you don't know them. New research reveals praying for people with a blood infection shortens fevers and time spent in the hospital. Another study showed both prayer and yoga cause significant changes in heart beat patterns.

Vitamin C Found To Inhibit Congestive Heart Failure
A study has demonstrated that vitamin C can aid patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) by suppressing the signal for cell death within blood vessel linings. The results showed that vitamin C markedly reduced blood levels of apoptotic microparticles to 32% of baseline levels, while the placebo had no effect. The findings might contribute to researchers' understanding of the mechanisms of heart failure progression and could add antioxident treatment as a novel strategy to delay progression of heart failure.

The Healer Within
The technique described by Dr. Roger Jahnke in "Alternate Nostril Breathing" has been employed by practitioners of Yoga in India for thousands of years who were aware of the significance of balancing the breath in both nostrils and employed this knowledge to enhance health and consciousness. This breath technique is often done in preparation for deep relaxation or meditation. It has been found through the application of current neuro-science, that the practice of alternate nostril breathing helps to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

Mind Over Matter
This holiday season let’s take time to remember and value the precious freedoms, often taken for granted, we enjoy under God and country. Together we can strive to preserve and protect basic human rights as an essential healing elixir for every child in our world - especially those in Afghanistan. In "Basic Freedom: a wellness perspective" Barry Bittman, M.D. reminds us that to liberate Afghanistan isn’t enough. To enable the Afghan people to heal themselves in mind, body and spirit has to be the ultimate legitimate goal of a world alliance working toward ensuring and preserving basic human rights.

Understanding Homeopathy
There is one simple reason that many conventional physicians have difficulty facing arthritic patients: there is little that conventional medicine offers them. The lucky ones get temporary relief along with drug side effects; the unlucky ones only get the side effects. Homeopathic medicine, on the other hand, is a natural pharmaceutical system that uses extremely small doses of substances from the plant, mineral, or animal kingdom to augment a person's own immune and defense system according to homeopathic expert Dana Ullman in "Homeopathic Medicines for Arthritis." Based on the "principle of similars," homeopathy uses substances which would actually cause, if given in large dose to experimental subjects, the similar symptoms that a sick person experiences.
