Report: California's Autism Rate Doubles
The number of autistic children in California has nearly doubled in the last four years (as of December 2002). An earlier study had found the state's autism rate increased 237 percent from 1987 to 1998. State researchers are investigating potential genetic and environmental toxins for links to autism. They are also exploring the debated theory that childhood vaccines may be at the root of the problem.

Massage and Acupuncture Can Make Aging Easier
Most seniors don't know about the benefits Oriental medicine can have for many of the ailments endured by the elderly community, such as arthritis, depression, pain, constipation, stress and loneliness. Massage and acupuncture increase the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids, reduce muscular tension, relieve pain, and release endorphins. Improved circulation brings fresh oxygen to body tissues, which eliminates waste products from inside the body and enhances recovery from diseases.

Simply Well
Music alters the body and the mind. In "Explore Healing Music and Sounds" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., reminds us that music can enhance deep relaxation, supply you with new energy, stimulate creativity, and even transport you into other states of consciousness - depending on the type of music you choose.

Keeping Fit
Spring is when many of us begin our running/jogging/walking programs - a great natural means of improving our cardiovascular fitness and burning calories in the process. In "Spring is for Sprinting" Dr. Wayne Westcott reminds us to start with shorter distances and slower speeds and gradually progress to longer courses and faster paces. The 10 percent rule - never increase your exercise effort (distance, pace, etc.) by more than 10 percent per week - permits consistent improvement and reduces the risk of overuse injuries.

Healthy Computing
Do you usually reach to one side to answer your telephone and and reach for reference material? Habits of movement seem convenient but, in the long run, often contribute to imbalanced movements that lead to stiffness and discomfort. In "Healthy Computing: Do the Opposite" Erik Peper, Ph.D. and Katherine Hughes Gibney help you explore how you could do activities differently and loosen up your muscles and joints, even increase your brain cells' dendritic connections.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
Epidemics of parasitic infection from contaminated water and of bacterial food poisoning from chicken or hamburger serve notice that the U.S. food and water supply is not safe. In "Eating Safely in a Polluted World: You Don't Have to Choose Between Microbes and Chemicals!" Dr. Galland offers several simple, effective measures you can follow to protect yourself and those you love.

Healthy Alternatives
There are over eighty different types of massage therapy and bodywork. Many are variations on each other, often developed by a practitioner who is trained in one particular approach and then goes on to develop his or her own variety, with its own new "brand name." In "Varieties and Techniques of Massage and Bodywork" William Collinge M.P.H., Ph.D. explains the unique qualities for Traditional European Massage, Contemporary Western Massage, Structural/ Functional/ Movement Integration, Oriental Methods and Energetic Methods (Non-oriental).

Healthy Child
Asthma is a potentially serious and even life-threatening condition. Infants and children with asthma should receive medical attention. Conventional drugs used for treating asthma, particularly steroids, can impair immune function and lead to more serious health problems. In "Asthma" Dana Ullman, M.P.H. presents a homeopathic alternative.

BIO-ENERGY
There is increased evidence that electrical field changes at the cellular level occur before structural physiological changes. More and more scientists and physicians are working with magnet therapy. In "The Fields of Healing" Valerie Free presents the expanding role of magnets in healthcare, including the use of electromagnetic fields for treating traumatic injuries and fighting the aging process.

In today's troubled times, understandably, more people than ever are searching for spiritual meaning and connection on a profoundly personal level. Whether they follow the path of organized religion or forge their own individual way, their journey to spiritual fulfillment can be as demanding as it is satisfying, as frustrating as it is comforting, as confusing as it is clarifying.

With uncertainty and ambiguity as constant companions, every spiritual traveler needs a reliable guidebook.
