Black Cohosh: Natural Herb Relieves Menopause Symptoms
A growing number of women are battling the symptoms of menopause (hot flashes, heart palpitations, sleep disturbances, depression and more) the natural way. These women are choosing natural herbs and other dietary supplements rather than costly and potentially dangerous hormone replacement therapy (HRT). One of the most popular herbs is black cohosh root, a botanical remedy of Native Americans and early colonists.
Company to Verify Supplement Purity: Certification Won't Confirm Health Claims of Vitamins
U.S. Pharmacopeia, a nonprofit organization in existence since 1820, will review and may place its stamp of approval on about 30 percent of available dietary supplements. Eventually, certified products will carry a round mark with an oval insert that says "USP." The words "dietary supplement verified" surround the oval insert.
Survey Finds Many Smallpox Misconceptions
Americans are so ill-informed about smallpox that a majority believe the deadly disease still breaks out naturally throughout the world and can be cured. About two-thirds of Americans say they would like to be vaccinated, though that willingness would plummet if people found their own doctors avoided the vaccine.

In "Watch Your Words" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H. documents self-programming that heals - based on research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology that verifies that thoughts and emotions directly affect the strength of the immune system.
Conscious Relationships
Jealousy is impossible to deal with in close relationships because it's not real. In "How to Get Free of Jealousy Part I" Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks explain that the only way to handle jealousy in the real world of relationships is to shift your state of consciousness so that you can see jealousy for what it really is - You're afraid of losing the love of the other person.

Food and You" Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D.,
M.S.W., DHANP discusses the dietary principles of Ayurveda
and how an ayurvedic diet can both prevent and heal disease.

best for everyone, but seeks to individualize and optimize
nutrition for the individual, based on their constitutional
type and the particular imbalances in the person which need
to be corrected.

Nutrition Tips
The most common causes of headaches are tension or stress.
Most effective programs for headache control, other than
drug treatments, rely on prevention. In "Nutritional
Program for Headaches" Michael Janson M.D. offers a
supplement program that is often effective for the drug-free
management of migraines and may also help the treatment of
other headaches.
Seasonal Menu Plan
The winter diet is often the richest, warmest, and heaviest of the seasonal diets. It includes more cooked foods, fewer fresh foods and cold drinks, and more teas and soups to keep the body warmer. And, of course, we may need more rest and dream time in the winter. In "Winter 4-Day Menu Plan" Elson M. Haas, M.D. provides food recommendations, menu plans, and specific recipes.
