There's a killer running rampant in the United States who is responsible for the deaths of 2,600 Americans a day.

Click below to read about the life-saving solutions that you and your loved ones need to know to avoid becoming this killer's next target.

Enzyme May Help Brain Clean the Slates
A molecular "eraser" has been found in the brain suggesting that without it our memory tracks would function about as well as a computer without a delete key. The brain seems to be genetically hardwired to perform a complex balancing act between recording information and wiping the slates clean.

$2.2 Million Herbal Cold Remedy Study Underway at University of Virginia
University of Virginia Health System investigators have received $2.2 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health to conduct a three-year clinical trial to find out if echinacea really fights colds. The study will use one crop of echinacea plants processed using three different extraction methods to produce three different concentrations of various echinacea constituents.

Vitamins Protect Arteries, Heart
Taking three common vitamins -- folic acid, B12 and B6 -- can lower the chance of death and heart attack following an angioplasty procedure. These vitamins appear to exert their beneficial effect by lowering blood levels of an amino acid called homocysteine, which at high levels can cause the build-up of artery-clogging plaque and raise the risk of heart disease.

THE "WAVE" OF THE FUTURE
Pulsating Electromagnetic Fields
Pulsating electromagnetic fields for health and healing are now here! Already producing benefits such as pain relief, stress reduction, and sleep improvement to European families, the QRS (Quantron Resonance System), an in-home health appliance, is now available in the U.S. Routine use of this simple technology - only 8 minutes twice a day comfortably lying on the QRS mat - enables the body to recover from illness and injury and reclaim its natural state of health. How can this happen? Subtle pulsating fields from the mat maximize cell functioning with no side effects. QRS is safe for babies, adults, elderly, even pets!

The Healer Within
As the movement toward alternatives to drugs and surgery progresses, massage is gaining popularity as a therapeutic modality. Hospitals, and even corporations, are hiring massage therapists to help with healing and to prevent the negative impacts of stress. In "Self-Applied Massage" Dr. Roger Jahnke explains how to effectively perform self-applied massage.

Mind Over Matter
As you arrive at the pearly gates it's time to introduce yourself to God. What will you say? How will you describe yourself? Does this indicate how the challenges of living have determined your self-worth? In "How would you introduce yourself... to God?" Barry Bittman, M.D. asks some challenging questions and reminds us that self-worth might very well be our most precious commodity.

Understanding Homeopathy
Do you suffer from throbbing and burning pains in your sinuses? In "Sinusitis" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. describes the various types of symptoms connected with sinusitis in children and adults, and common conditions that trigger these reactions. He matches an appropriate homeopathic remedy for addressing each type of sinus condition.

Echoes of Silence
There is a tremendous "knowing" that comes effortlessly into the mind when it falls into silence, when it gives up trying to understand, when its reel of stored images no longer projects abstract pictures onto the clean screen of simplicity. In "The Sacred Hub of Silence" Robert Rabbin explains how this Silence is the real teacher, the real teaching, the real path.
