Cough CPR Good for Cardiac Arrest
Coughing vigorously until an ambulance arrives could save the lives of people having a type of heart attack brought on by rapid and erratic heart beat. This technique, called cough CPR, forces blood to the brain while the heart is starting to fail and keeps patients conscious long enough to call for help. It may also rectify their heart rhythm.

"PURE PREVENTION" - PULSED MAGNETIC FIELDS

Your heart beats faster and your blood pressure rises. These are normal responses to stressful situations. But do the effects of stress go beyond that? When you're under stress, do you get more colds or infections? Does your arthritis flare? Is your energy decreased and does sleep become a challenge?

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on FEELING, the 6th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. We experience feelings and emotions from well before the event of our birth. They can be intense, or frightening, or wonderful. They can also be the most misunderstood, and consequently mistreated, gifts we have as human beings. We judge them, repress them, discount them, drug them, worship them, and run from them. Yet, what a bore to be without them! Life fully lived is life filled with feeling!

Simply Well
Painful or confusing emotions are par for the course during a time of change, even when it's a positive, life-affirming change in the direction of overall health and wellbeing. In "Befriend Your Feelings" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., recommends that you adopt the attitude that feelings are natural and normal. Befriend the emotional parts of yourself.

WELLNESS INVENTORY
The Whole Person Assessment Program
Our pioneering program enables you to assess your wellness and create an action plan to your increase state of wellbeing.

STOPPING AND REVERSING AGE-RELATED SEXUAL PERFORMANCE DECLINE

The decline in sexual performance is one of men's most common complaints about aging. For most men, this age-related decline includes a longer time to achieve erection, a less firm erection, low libido or sex drive, a decline in sexual stamina, as well as inadequate sensation and pleasure. But you don't have to put up with poor sexual performance - there is a natural supplement proven by more than 10 clinical studies to work for 90% of men. Libilov for Men is a combination of the herbs Tribulus terrestris (with main active ingredient Protodioscin), Ginkgo biloba, and L-arginine.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
Although the body readily makes most of the fat that it needs from dietary starch or sugar, humans lack the ability to make essential fatty acids (EFAs) and must get them in food. EFAs are found in all foods but are most abundant in certain oils, according to Dr. Leo Galland in "Essential Fatty Acids--The Key To Health." They come in two distinct families, based upon their chemical structure. The two EFA families are not interchangeable and, in fact, tend to compete with one another in the body's metabolic pathways. The larger family, called "omega-six" EFAs, are abundant in many vegetable seed oils, including corn, sunflower and safflower. Deficiency of omega-six EFAs causes impairment of growth and fertility, hormonal disturbances and immunologic abnormalities. An excess of omega-six EFAs may promote the development of cancer.

Healthy Alternatives
In "Naturopathy" Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., M.R.O. introduces this system concerned with the whole person, rather than just the problems afflicting the various organs and systems. Naturopathy recognizes and uses the fact that the body is a self-healing organism, working with the knowledge that if the right environment and opportunity for self-healing can be created repair, recovery and good health will result, spontaneously and illhealth will be prevented.

Echoes of Silence
In the business world they have a production scheduling term "just-in-time manufacturing," where goods are manufactured to coincide with receipt of orders for those goods.

By honoring the living present, you receive its treasure of wisdom that cannot be known ahead of time, but just in time.
