HOW TO FIGHT CANCER AND WIN!
Black-Listed Cancer Treatment Could Save Your Life!
The key to stopping many cancers has been around for over 30 years. Yet it has been banned by the very agency designed to protect your health-the FDA. A German research scientist discovered a natural formula that could prevent and even cure cancer. Her findings, which were barred from the medical journals, are now finally available in an updated English translation. Click here to learn more about this incredible black-listed formula.

Women Seeking Safe Alternatives to Synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy; Natural HRT Alternatives Based on Science, Not Guesswork
Women are discovering that there are safe, natural alternatives to synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Numerous studies in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that non-toxic supplements, such as black cohash and yam-based progesterone topical cremes, do work and have no adverse effects.
Exercise helps with joint problems
People with joints that are stiff and painful from arthritis or fibromyalgia are reluctant to exercise because it hurts. But by not exercising, they risk having their joints become even more stiff and painful. The National Arthritis Foundation has developed exercises that can be done standing, sitting or in a pool.
Dementia Still Widely Misunderstood
Despite the fact that Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia are not a natural consequence of aging, most Americans believe that to be the case. Further, most people are not aware that half of stroke victims will develop vascular dementia within five years of their stroke.

EDITOR'S PICK - TRI-ESTROGEN CREAM WITH PROGESTERONE
SPECIAL - The Alternative to Conventional HRT - Buy 2 and Save 10%
The natural estrogens balanced with natural progesterone in TRI-Estrogen Cream provide an effective and safe alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There are two key rules when attempting to keep hormones at an optimal level. First, you should use "bio-identical hormones". TRI-Estrogen Cream uses the 3 estrogens found in the human body--estriol, estradiol, and estrone--as well as natural progesterone. The estrogens used in the recent well-publicized HRT study are derived from the urine of pregnant mares and use a synthetic progestin (not progesterone). And unlike the estrogens used in HRT, the main estrogen in TRI-Estrogen Cream (estriol) has never been shown to increase the risk of breast or uterine cancer. The second rule is to use the smallest dose necessary to obtain the required hormone balance. The combination of estrogens in TRI-Estrogen Cream is provided in a very low dose. For more info.

COLUMNS FROM THE EXPERTS
The Healer Within
In "Exhale to Compress the Organs" Dr. Roger Jahnke reveals a breath practice that takes the exhalation of the full chest and abdominal breath to a radical extreme that dramatically shifts the pressure in the pelvic, abdominal and chest cavities. It takes just a few moments, costs nothing, is always with you (just a breath away), and unleashes a powerful healing energy.
Mind Over Matter
In "Survivors: Who Are They?" Barry Bittman, M.D. shares a secret that every survivor knows well - each one of them always has enough time to do what they need to do. Where are the survivors? They are all around us. These are the souls (perhaps the angels) that reach out and inspire us to fully live each precious moment of our lives.
Understanding Homeopathy
Homeopathic medicines are indeed powerful tools but they are not effective in treating all diseased states, according to homeopathic expert Dana Ullman in "The Limitations and Risks of Homeopathic Medicine." Some conditions do not respond to microdoses because they require surgical intervention, immediate relief of symptoms, or simple nutritional or lifestyle changes.
Echoes of Silence
Most of us long for a special companion with whom we can share life's adventures, but we hold back until we are sure a new relationship is "going somewhere." In "Just Friends" Robert Rabbin points that being fully open to share love, laughter, learning and growth allows the special and precious bonds of true friendship to develop.
