Two-thirds of cancer cases can be prevented or cured: WHO
One-third of the world's 10 million cancer cases diagnosed each year can be prevented and another third can be cured through early detection and treatment, according to the World Health Organization. WHO recommends prevention and early detection programs, not relying merely on treatment-oriented approaches. The report lists the primary causes of cancer as tobacco, diet, obesity, and lack of exercise - all of which are preventable.

Low Vitamin C Intake Linked with Stroke Risk
Low vitamin C concentration in the bloodstream may be a risk factor for stroke, especially among hypertensive and overweight men. A possible effect of vitamin C is that it enhances endothelial function, which inhibits artery clogging and lowers blood pressure.

Chemotherapy May Paradoxically Trigger Future Cancer
Chemotherapy drugs work by interfering with the ability of cancer cells to divide and reproduce themselves. Cancer cell chromosomes break recurrently at specific regions known as "fragile sites," sites where the mechanism responsible for DNA replication is disturbed. However, normal cells also develop fragile regions when they are exposed to certain conditions. Some of the drugs used in chemotherapy may cause these conditions and thus plant the seeds of a future cancerous growth at the same time they are killing the current one.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
A large body of research over the past ninety years has demonstrated the preventive value of eating foods fermented with Lactobacilli or their cousins, Bifidobacteria. In "Using Friendly Flora" Leo Galland, M.D. explains how eating these friendly bacteria prevents intestinal infection due to viruses or pathogenic bacteria, preserves intestinal permeability in the face of infection or other types of injury, can prevent antibiotic-induced diarrhea and travelers diarrhea, and can lower serum cholesterol levels.

Mind Body Health Newsletter
When it comes to health, the best thing is not to get angry in the first place. Once triggered, however, is it better to argue, shout, and bang your fists - or silently seethe? In "Healthy Anger: Let It Out or Keep It In?" David S. Sobel, M.D. presents practical answers.

Keeping Fit
Swimming is one of the best activities that you can perform for overall physical fitness notes Dr. Wayne Westcott in "Try Swimming This Summer." Swimming involves almost all of your major muscle groups, is an excellent exercise for conditioning your cardiovascular system, and appears to enhance joint flexibility, especially in the neck, shoulders, hips, and midsection area.

Mind Boosters
A study of more than 6,000 persons ages 65 and older showed that a high intake of vitamin E from foods and/or dietary supplements was associated with reduced memory loss and other cognitive decline. This study was important because most of the previous research had focused on antioxidant nutrients as treatment therapy in persons who already had Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. In "Vitamin E Reduces Mental Decline Among Older Persons" Ray Sahelian, M.D. shares what he recommends for his patients as insurance to protect against these diseases from ever occurring.

Healthy Bookstore - The Lost Language of Plants
"The Lost Language of Plants: The Ecological Importance of Plant Medicines for Life on Earth" by Stephen Harrod Buhner is a devastating expose about how we are polluting our environment with the pharmaceuticals that Western medicine has developed to heal us. We are ingesting Prozac, Premarin, and antibiotics whether we want to or not. Yet, as we foul air and water with toxic residues, we overlook the power of the planet's natural healers, stabilizers, and chemists - plants. Buhner sees plants as fully sentient beings, adjusting and fine-tuning to the environment just as they have done for the past 500 million years. Until recently, humans shared the language of plants, but increasingly we have lost our ability to communicate with the natural world. Buhner shows us a path back to our shamanic roots.

Healthy Woman Update
A large number of Western acupuncturists are using a variety of acupuncture techniques to treat obesity, smoking and hard drug addiction. In "The Use of Acupuncture in Addiction and Obesity" George T. Lewith M.A., M.R.C.G.P., M.R.C.P. explains one technique that uses ear acupuncture. A small staple or stud in the ear is pressed to decrease the desire to smoke or eat, probably due to an increase in the endorphin level. It helps the withdrawal symptoms or hunger pains experienced by those already motivated and committed to solving their particular problem.

Music and Wellness
The process of group drumming is quite possibly the next big method of creative fitness for stress reduction. There is healing value in playing music, expressing oneself rhythmically, and connecting with others, according to Christine Stevens, M.S.W., MT-BC. In "The New Vitamin D: Vitamin Drum" she reports on a controlled study of 111 normal subjects, where in just one hour of group drumming showed a significant increase in circulating white blood cells and two specific cytokines, markers of cellular immune function (Bittman et al., Alternative Therapy, January 2001). Drumming successfully boosted the immune system.

Every original culture on the planet earth has a system of "hands on" healing. In western cultures this is generally called massage. In "Self Applied Massage" Roger Jahnke O.M.D. notes that a popular approach is the application of pressure to the reflexes of the ears, hands and feet. These microsystems are areas of the body that are a small representation of the whole body. By stimulating a microsystem one can stimulate the related body parts and organs.
