HEALTH NEWS

Work stress doubles risk of death
A British study found found that job strain (high work demands and low job control) and effort-reward imbalance (high demands, low security, few career opportunities) were each associated with a doubling of the risk of cardiovascular death among initially healthy employees. High job stress was also associated with increased cholesterol concentrations and body mass index.


Use of Vitamin A Cream May Prevent Basal Cell Carcinoma

COLUMNS FROM THE EXPERTS

The Healer Within
The presence of special breathing practices in the ancient cultures has always been a mystery to people in the Western world. In "Full Chest and Abdominal Breathing" Dr. Jahnke explains a method that activates all of the primary benefits of therapeutic breath practice when done slowly and fully, with intention, concentration and relaxation.


Mind Over Matter
Are you agonizing over a number of symptoms for which your physician cannot find a cause? In "The Elusive Diagnosis: When Dis-ease Leads to Disease" Barry Bittman, M.D. offers a fresh perspective for taking a positive step toward a healthy future. Consider taking time to replay your life and any ongoing conflict. Ask yourself what you would change about your life.


Understanding Homeopathy
Homeopathic medicine is a natural pharmaceutical science that uses various plants, minerals or animals in very small dose to stimulate the sick person's natural defenses. Since one's symptoms are actually efforts of the organism to reestablish homeostasis or balance, it is logical to seek a substance that would, in overdose, cause the similar symptoms the person is experiencing. In "Ten Most Frequently Asked Questions on Homeopathic Medicine" Dana Ullman answers common questions about homeopathy.


Staying Healthly Tips
The Holiday Season is fast approaching, a time that has inherent biological and seasonal conflict. Our body wants to be conservative with food and minimize indulgences, yet there are great demands for family time, shopping, and parties. Follow the "10 Tips on Staying Healthy through the Holidays" from Elson M. Haas, M.D. so that you are less likely to become ill with colds, flus, and other maladies.

HEALTHY FOODS

It's actually pretty simple. If you want to be healthy and alive, you have to get foods with a life of their own into your body. In "The Nutritional Rules for the Road" Marilyn Joyce R.D. lists rules for the journey towards health and a vibrant life that are very logical. Over two dozen "DOs" get you started on a positive note.


NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

NutritionCenter
One of the Internet's most comprehensive resources on herbal medicine is HealthWorld Online's Herbal Medicine Center, with over 200 articles from leading experts such as Mark Blumenthal, Christopher Hobbs, L.Ac., David Hoffmann, Steven Foster, Donald Brown, N.D., and Janet Zand. O.M.D., as well as a fully illustrated Herbal Materia Medica and online archives of HerbalGram.


Healthy Man
In "Nutritional and Herbal Support" Christopher Hobbs L.Ac., A.H.G. explains that traditional Chinese Medicine often considers AIDS to be due to a deficiency or chronic weakness of the digestive, assimilative function, the lungs, and the kidneys/adrenals. A treatment program includes long-term herb and food tonics and immune stimulants.


Mind Body Health
In "Here's to Your Heart" David S. Sobel, M.D lists research that indicates that once we reach middle age, enjoying a small amount of alcohol, in the range of one or two drinks a day, might have healthful benefits.


Music and Wellness
The magical, sacred drum has extraordinary power to touch something deep and powerful within all. The sounds awaken our spirits and speak to our most primal and truest selves. In "The Healing Power of the Drum - Part II: Drumming and Parkinson's Disease" Robert Lawrence Friedman relates how patients with trouble initiating movement found the rhythms helped them get started.


Healthy Alternatives
While symptoms are usually unpleasant, they serve as a natural warning system that can help keep you in the best possible health. In "Listening to Your Symptoms" Martin L. Rossman M.D. offers you reasons this phenomena happens and how guided imagery can be a valuable tool to access this information.


Find an Alternative Healthcare Professional
The Professional Referral Network contains searchable directories for 20 leading professional associations in complementary and integrative health care, with over 17,000 professionals. Looking for a healthcare professional specializing in a progressive approach to vision care and education? The Vision Care section includes the Optometric Extension Program member database.
