Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
Scientists have known for years that major and minor life stresses interfere with immune function and contribute to disease. Stressful life events increase your susceptibility to several types of infections, from the common cold to tuberculosis, and to auto-immune disorders in which your body's immune system attacks its own cells. Although you may not be able to control all the stressors in your life, there are many steps you can take to build your immune resistance in the face of stress. In "Stress and Immunity" Leo Galland, M.D. explains how clear thinking, supportive social relationships, moderate exercise, adequate sleep, and immune-boosting nutrients can keep you from becoming a victim of stress.

Integrative Dentistry
At first it seems totally unrelated that gum disease might affect how we feel in general. However, with the onset of gum disease there is also present a low-grade infection. If not checked and treated, this will affect your overall state of health. In "The Lack of Energy You Feel May Be From Gum Disease" Dr. Stay explains that the gum tissues are very rich in blood vessels and with gum disease these blood vessels become an easy form of transport of dangerous infection causing bacteria and their by-products.

Destress With Teeccino 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.

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 Kitchen - Healthy Foods
Vegetable oils should contribute a higher percentage of the total fat in our diet than they currently do, as this would increase the proportion of polyunsaturated to saturated fats, which is helpful. In "Oils" Elson M. Haas M.D. presents benefits of different types of oil, cautions regarding how an oil is processed, and when heat adversly affects the chemical structure.

Healthy Alternatives
Homeopathic medicine is a natural pharmaceutical science in which a practitioner seeks to find a substance which would cause in overdose similar symptoms to those a sick person is experiencing. When the match is made, that substance then is given in very small, safe doses, often with dramatic effects. In "A Modern Understanding of Homeopathic Medicine" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. explains this practice that strengthens the immune and defense system. Homeopathy embodies the characteristics of a medical science one could hope and dream for in the 21st century...and the best news is that we do not have to wait until the 21st century to draw upon of its benefits.
