Critics Call for Reversal of USDA Changes to Organic Food Rules
The National Organic Program changed its standards last month to allow increased use of pesticides on organic produce, antibiotics and hormones in organic dairy cows, and contaminated fishmeal as livestock feed. A coalition of organic food industry and consumer and organic farm groups are calling for reversal of the changes, saying they would make organic labels meaningless.

Medicare Needs a Hard Look at Treatment Costs
Two obscure provisions in the recently passed Medicare drug bill provide a window into a high-stakes political battle taking shape in Washington. One provision authorizes a modest amount of new money for the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality to study the comparative effectiveness of drugs or medical devices. Then the second provision explicitly forbids the government from using this information in deciding whether Medicare should pay for these new products.

Alternative Remedies Gaining Popularity
A new government survey of more than 31,000 U.S. adults nationwide found that 36 percent are using some kind of "complementary and alternative" therapy. That number jumps to 62 percent when prayer is included. The survey by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that women, highly educated people, those who had been hospitalized in the past year, and former smokers were the most likely users.

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of PLAYING & WORKING, the 8th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing.

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.

Nutritional Medicine and Longevity
In "What is Orthomolecular Medicine?" Richard A. Kunin, M.D. defines it as a strategy for the maintenance of health and the treatment of disease by varying the amounts of substances normally found in the body, such as vitamins and minerals. Orthomolecular medicine is nutritional biochemistry applied to understanding health and treating disease.

Healthy Alternatives
Naturopathy is a system which is concerned with the whole person, rather than just the problems afflicting his/her various organs and systems. In "Naturopathy" Leon Chaitow N.D., D.O., M.R.O. states the study of emotional (psychological), structural and biochemical (diet, toxicity, deficiency) factors as they interact with the unique individuality (biochemical, structural, emotional and genetic) of each of us, to create a formula for health or ill-health, is the naturopathic way of understanding the complex influences affecting everyone.

Healthy Woman Update
Considering that bone is living tissue, just like the rest of the body, it is likely that what you put in your mouth will determine in part how strong your bones will be. In "Osteoporosis - What You Eat Affects Your Bones" Alan R. Gaby, M.D. discusses three reasons that our modem diet might not be good for our bones. First, many of us ingest too much sugar, caffeine, salt, and alcohol. Second, the American diet tends to contain too much, rather than too little protein. Third, the reduction in vitamin and mineral intake resulting from refining of foods can be made even worse by farming techniques that deplete the soil of essential minerals.

He reviews other favorite beverages, such as teas, fruit juices, coffee, vegetable juices, sodas, milk, and alcohol.

There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!
Regardless of what ingredients are used, if the cook's consciousness is not prayerful, loving, or joyful ... that food will not be a healing food. Period. It is important to have a state of mind that is free of anger when you are preparing any meal. Instead be filled with heartfelt love for those (including the self!) who will be eating the food, joy in its preparation, and, most importantly, a sense of the Divine coming into the food. In "The Yogi's Secret Ingredient" Siri-Ved Kaur Khalsa shows why restaurant food becomes so tiring. It only satisfies the belly; rarely does it elevate, nurture and heal.

The Healer Within
A classic breath practice that is common to both the Yoga tradition of India and the Qigong tradition of China is the subject of "Rapid Abdominal Breathing" by Dr. Roger Jahnke. The central activity of this breath technique, called bastrika in India, is the rapid expansion and contraction of the abdomen. This method has a major effect on the function of the organs in the abdominal and pelvic cavities.
