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. To learn more about this incredible black-listed formula visit www.agora-inc.com/reports/FCBK/W680CA0V

Standards Now Define Organic Food, National Rules to Help Shoppers Take Effect October 21st
For shoppers confused by food labels ranging from "natural" to "hormone-free" to "produced by organic methods," the new Federal standards that control how organic food is produced provide a clear definition of what organic means. Now consumers have government-backed assurance complete with verification audits and a $10,000 fine for intentional misrepresentation.


Alternative Therapies Gain Respect From Institutions
Thirty years ago no one would have predicted that major medical institutions in this country would devote time and money to investigate treatments from non-Western cultures. Yet in 2002 the National Institutes of Health are devoting $100 million a year to research complementary and alternative therapies. And individuals are spending as much on complementary and alternative treatments as they are on their regular doctors.

COLUMNS FROM THE EXPERTS

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
Iron is unique among essential minerals, because there is no mechanism for its excretion once absorbed into the body. In "Dangers of Iron Supplements" Dr. Galland reports that excess dietary iron has been implicated by some scientists as a cause of cancer and heart disease, and that it also increases the risk of bacterial infection. He states that "No one should ever take iron supplements unless iron deficiency is present with the possible exception of pregnant women."


Mind Body Health
When faced with a surgical decision, who better to be than a physician? You would be well aware of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the proposed procedure. And you would be less likely to have surgery at all reports Dr. David Sobel in "Physicians Have Fewer Surgeries."


Keeping Fit
If you wait until the snow flies, you won't be able to properly pre-condition your musculoskeletal system for the rigors of downhill skiing. So for safe, successful, and sustained ski runs, start shaping-up early. In "Shaping Up For Ski Season" Dr. Wayne L. Wescott provides you with both Cardiovascular and Muscular Fitness exercises you can adapt to meet your specific needs.


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. 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 FOODS

Fruits are considered nature?s perfect foods. They are natural and healthy, well stocked in nutrients, relatively low calorie and low sodium, and have very high water content; plus offer natural sugars when we want something sweet.

One of the most serious consequences of post-menopausal aging is the development of osteoporosis. In "Osteoporosis & Other Physical Changes" Susan M. Lark M.D. encourages women to consider options besides the use of HRT and drugs. She presents various healthy lifestyle habits a woman can use to prevent damage to her bones, joints, muscles, skin and hair after menopause.


Mind Body Health
Emotional upset-whether anger, sadness, or fear-is a normal response to different stresses in a child's life. And children may not be able to express in words exactly what it is they are feeling. In "Emotional Upset" Janet Zand L.Ac., O.M.D. reminds parents to stay aware of their child's needs and offer emotional support as the challenges of life continue to expand and change through the years.


Music and Wellness
In "Sounds Like Silence: And Chronic Pain" Barry Bittman, M.D. reminds us of the importance of having music in our lives, along with laughter and joy. This is particularly important for those following an integrated, whole person approach to control of severe and chronic pain.


Healthy Alternatives
In "Chelation Therapy: Is it Natural?" Leon Chaitow N.D., D.O., M.R.O. states that chelation offers a chance for a very safe form of intervention which can often take the person involved to the stage where surgery and increased medication become unnecessary and where effective long-term preventive methods, including exercise and dietary strategies, can be introduced.
