SPONSOR - DR. JONATHAN WRIGHT'S NUTRITION & HEALING

TREAT HEART TROUBLE WITH SUGAR AND MUSTARD

If you told your doctor he could effectively treat heart trouble, chronic disease and this type of cancer with... Sugar & Mustard... He'd say, "Baloney!" But now we have proof, thanks to award-winning Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. He braved ridicule and hostility to pioneer a new kind of medicine. While drugs just suppress symptoms, these spectacular new food & vitamin cures can beat your symptoms and cure the causes of chronic diseases.


HEALTH NEWS

Despite Ban, Ephedra will Remain in Common Cold-Flu Medications
Despite the FDA's proposed ban on ephedra in diet supplements, high doses of its active ingredient will remain in many over-the-counter drugs used by millions of Americans every day. Ephedrine, used in over-the-counter drugs for treating asthma and congestion, and pseudoephedrine, used as a nasal decongestant, are the two main compounds in the plant ephedra, which has been used for these purposes since long before modern science or medicine was conceived.


Food-borne Diseases Take Toll on Public Health
In the week since mad cow disease was discovered in the United States, more than a million Americans were sickened by food they ate. About 6,000 became so ill they were hospitalized and nearly 100 died. But mad cow disease wasn't the culprit. Indeed, not a single American is known to have contracted the human form of the disease from eating food in this country.


Vitamin C Give a Boost To Your Immune System
When the cold, dreary clouds of winter fill the air, look no further than your kitchen to help bring the sunshine in. Many delicious foods are chock full of vitamin C, including citrus, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes. Because it isn't stored in the body, you should eat foods rich in vitamin C every day.

ASK DR. ORLOFF ABOUT INTUTIVE HEALING
Our adjustment to the body is a spiritual issue that can lead to better psychological adjustment while we're here on earth. In "Step Two of Intuitive Healing: Be In Your Body" Judith Orloff, M.D. reminds us that intuitive healing is always body-interactive. Our physical self, our emotions, a healthy body or an organ with disease - our capacity to heal strengthens as we become one with it all.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

From Fatigued to Fantastic
In "Q & A on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia with Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. - #5" Dr. Teitelbaum explains common triggers for CHS/FMS, and how different triggers can cause the same set of symptoms in different people.


Healthy Alternatives
In "How Does Acupuncture Work?" George T. Lewith, M.A., M.R.C.G.P., M.R.C.P. points out that while acupuncture does work, and has been shown to do so, the exact answer as to how it works is unclear. Current scientific explanations give a logical and supportable basis for stating that it does have an effect on the nervous system. Science will, and should, provide an explanation for the observations of the ancient Chinese, but in the meantime we should not reject acupuncture just because we cannot explain it completely.


Healthy Man Update
Infections that pass from one person to another during sexual contact are known as sexually transmitted diseases. In "Basic Facts about STDs" the American Institute of Preventive Medicine presents some important facts, such as early stages of STDs often have no detectable symptoms and once you've had an STD, you can get it again. You can't develop an immunity once you've been exposed.
