HEALTH SCIENCES INSTITUTE
OUTRAGE!

Billion-dollar drug company hides astounding discovery of a natural cancer killer that's 10,000 times stronger than chemo - but without the side effects! Deep within the Amazon grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising.

Kids' Acupuncture Gaining Interest
Scientists are just starting to study acupuncture in young children in the US. If tots could put aside the fear of needles, acupuncture might prove as helpful for them as it does for certain adult conditions.

Clifford Materials Reactivity Testing
You can now take the guesswork out of selecting safer dental materials. There is a new unique screening procedure for determining reactivity between dental materials components and an individual patient's biochemistry. A dentist can quickly check reactivity findings and then focus on other issues in the materials selection process, substantially decreasing the probability of adverse clinical biomaterials effects and reducing liability risks at the same time.

NFAM Honors Founder Berkley Bedell
November symposium honors the life work of the visionary founder of the National Foundation of Alternative Medicine, Berkley Bedell. The mission of NFAM is to seek out effective CAM treatments now inaccessible or currently unavailable in the United States, evaluate the protocols and outcomes of these treatments and report the findings to the general public free of any charge.

WOMEN CAN BREAK FREE OF USUAL HORMONE TREATMENT
Although it's disturbing to see so many women experiencing anxiety and confusion over hormone replacement therapy, the end result may be very positive, and will likely benefit women in the future. One of the most valuable of those results, hopefully, is that women will become proactive about their health, and the decisions they face regarding menopause, heart disease and osteoporosis.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
Despite great advances in the treatment of infectious epidemics, trauma and critical care, modern medicine is failing in its mission. The reason lies in the faulty blueprint used to guide contemporary health care, according to Dr. Leo Galland in "The Foundation for Integrated Medicine Supporting Health Care for the Twenty-First Century."

Mind Body Health
Without pleasure life would appear colorless and humorless. People are almost phobic about having fun. In "Healthy Pleasures" David S. Sobel, M.D. reminds us that worrying too much about anything - including calories, salt, cancer, and cholesterol - can rob our life of vitality, and that living optimistically, with pleasure, zest, and commitment enriches if not lengthens life.

Keeping Fit
It is reported that the average American experiences a 7-pound weight gain between Thanksgiving and New Year's, then spends the next several weeks trying to lose as much of the excess as possible. Unfortunately, many people are unsuccessful in their weight reduction efforts. In "Survival Strategies For The Holiday Season" Dr. Wayne Westcott offers twelve strategies for avoiding holiday weight gain.

Mind Boosters
The combination ginkgo biloba and ginseng extracts can promote fast, accurate thinking, improve short and long-term memory retention, and reduce mental fatigue. While previous research has documented the effects of ginkgo biloba on memory in older people, in "Herbal Combination Enhance Memory and Speed Thinking" Ray Sahelian, M.D. presents research that shows that this specific formulation enhanced mental performance in a younger healthy population.

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 Woman
Menstrual cramps are one of the most common healthcare problems that women suffer during their reproductive years. At least 10 percent of younger women have symptoms so severe that they are unable to handle their normal range of activities. In "What are Menstrual Cramps?" Susan M. Lark M.D. educates women on the causes and the risk factors.

Mind Body Health
Different from physical-vital energy, emotional energy creates the feeling impulse to move toward our goals; we call it motivation. In "Emotional Talent" Dan Millman talks about how once released, the power of emotional energy can work magic.

Music and Wellness
Music can bring you joy. In "Music-Making: practical piano tuning insights" by Barry Bittman, M.D. alerts us that music training can impact brain function. He sites a number of studies, including one on the potential biological benefits of group drumming music therapy for reversing specific immune system effects of the classical stress response.

Healthy Alternatives
According to traditional Chinese medicine, a form of bodily energy called chi is generated in internal organs and systems. This energy combines with breath and circulates throughout the body, forming paths called meridians. In "Scientific Evidence in Support of Acupuncture and Meridian Theory" Professor Julia J. Tsuei M.D., F.A.C.O.G. provides a basic introduction of this ancient concept and explains modern adaptations.
