HealthWorld Launches Online Wellness Inventory
HealthWorld Online is pleased to announce the release of the online WELLNESS INVENTORY, a new web-based assessment program based on the pioneering work of John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., one of the founders of the wellness movement and creator of the first wellness center in the U.S. in 1975.
The Wellness Inventory guides the user through 12 areas of wellness-from nutrition and breathing to communicating and finding meaning. Designed to access your current level of wellbeing, the Wellness Inventory helps to determine your own achievable wellness goals, and to create and implement your unique personal plan for wellness.
HealthWorld will license the Wellness Inventory to HMOs, hospitals, corporate wellness programs, spas and fitness centers. Healthy Update subscribers will receive free access to the Wellness Inventory at: www.healthy.net/well
Leading Herbal, Nutritional Groups Urge Putting Ginkgo Study in Perspective
Concerned that reports about an article examining the use of ginkgo in healthy subjects will cause consumers to avoid or abandon the use of this beneficial herb, two of the natural products industry's leading trade groups, the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) and the National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) urge consumers to put this new study in context with the total body of positive research on this therapeutic botanical.
Sweet Nothings: Current Trends in Beverages Interferes with Vitamin Intake
While sugared beverages might appear to be a cheap source of energy, their costs may be higher than once thought. A recent study found that sugared beverage consumption reduces an individual's ability to meet the daily recommended level of vitamins and minerals, such as A, E, C, B6, B12, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, niacin and phosphorus, by replacing the more healthful alternatives that typically contain these nutrients.

COLUMNS FROM THE EXPERTS
The Healer Within
The experts are constantly practicing toward successful quieting of the mind and body. In "Progressive Relaxation, Option I" Dr. Roger Jahnke offers you a technique perfect for those of you who wish to tap the benefits of the self-applied methods but have little prior experience. This particular technique assures a genuine state of relaxation by actually involving the body parts.
Mind Over Matter
Our healthcare system has never evolved to meet the needs of the society it serves. In "Healthcare: Restructuring a Flawed System" Barry Bittman, M.D. points out that patients remain dependent on an approach with a band-aid application. Rather than fostering dependency without long-term goals, why not provide an opportunity for education about the role of lifestyle choices and taking responsibility and control over one's life.
Understanding Homeopathy
Conventional medical treatments tend to focus on treating or controlling symptoms. Whereas, natural therapeutics primarily attend to augmenting the person's own inherent defenses. In "Homeopathic Medicine And The Immune System" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. explains how homeopathic medicines are correctly used in conjunction with the body's immune system.
Echoes of Silence
Silence is oneness. In "Spectacle of Silence" Robert Rabbin states that Silence refers to a state of fundamental unified existence, a condition of being in which all conflict, fear, doubt, projection, memory, delusions - all subjectivity and objectivity - are dissolved and thus resolved. The world needs this Silence.
QRS (QUANTRON RESONANCE SYSTEM) - ADVERTISEMENT
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!

HEALTHY COMPUTING
When captured by our work, time flies. Even with the best intentions we forget to take a break. In "How To Take Frequent Breaks" Erik Peper, Ph.D. introduces micro-breaks, 1 to 2-second moments of muscle relaxation to interrupt the low level static tension. This allows the blood to flow in and out, bringing oxygen and nourishment to the tissue and removing waste products.

Healthy Child
Diarrhea is the body's way of ridding itself of toxins and foreign substances. Most cases of simple diarrhea should not be suppressed too quickly. In "Childhood Diarrhea" Janet Zand L.Ac., O.M.D. explains when it might be healthier to allow your child's body to flush itself clean, while supporting him/her with adequate fluids and when it is important to call the doctor.
Mind Body Health
Stress starts when your body is confronted with more than it can handle -- be it physical, emotional or mental. In "6 Steps for Handling Stress" Lauri M. Aesoph N.D. offers simple suggestions for decreasing the stress in your life -- no caffeine, rest and relaxation, exercise, no alcohol, regular meal schedule, a stress-free attitude.
Music and Wellness
The merging of science with the healing qualities of the hand drum is a relatively new development. In "The Healing Power of the Drum - Part I" Robert Lawrence Friedman reports the psychological and physiological applications for a wide variety of conditions from Alzheimer's to stress management.
Healthy Alternatives
Fasting is arguably the most natural and effective health enhancing measure available - or at least it was. In "Fasting for Health and as an Anti-Aging Strategy" Leon Chaitow N.D., D.O., M.R.O. cautions that because of the accumulation of toxic debris from petrocarbons to dioxin and DDT in the fatty tissues of almost everyone on the planet, fasting now needs to be approachd with great care.
