Organic Industry, Consumers Celebrate USDA Reversal on Non-Food National Organic Standards
In April the United States Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program announced that they would no longer monitor or police "organic" labels on non-food products, literally opening the door for unscrupulous companies to put bogus organic labels on products such as fish, body care products, pet foods, fertilizer and clothing. Then the Feds shocked everyone by announcing that pesticides, animal drugs, growth hormones, antibiotics and tainted fishmeal would be allowed on organic farms. In June, responding to overwhelming industry and public objections, the the USDA decided to rescind all of these directives that would have weakened organic standards.

Men Take Better Care of Their Cars Than Themselves
Nearly 84 percent of men say they've had their car serviced in the past year, but only 66 percent have had an annual check-up with a doctor in the same period.

"There's nothing you can do about the past. But you can do a great deal about your future. You don't have to be the same person you were yesterday.

-Jim Rohn

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of FINDING MEANING, the 11th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Finding meaning appears to be a unique human need. It is one of the most complex uses of energy in that it involves almost all of the previous energy forms. Since the beginning of time philosophers have asked these basic questions: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? What do I want? What is real? What is true? This section encourages you to find a deeper meaning in your life that can provide a powerful focus for directing your life-energy.

Simply Well
The human body needs the touch of nature along with the touch of human skin. Physical contact with soil, natural waters, sunlight, and fresh air is healing. In "Connect with Nature" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., offers some simple ways to connect with nature again.

Healthy Computing
The desire to be more mobile is the body's way of reminding us that it is healthy to move. Often we remain static, focusing on our work, forgetting to take our breaks. In "Having a Ball" Erik Peper, Ph.D. and Katherine Hughes Gibney suggest you purchase a stability ball that is large enough for you to use instead of your chair and alternate sitting on the ball with sitting in your chair every thirty minutes.

Creatine is a nutrient normally found in the body, particularly in muscles. Made from the combination of three amino acids, creatine helps provide the energy to help our muscles move.

In "FAQs About Creatine" Ray Sahelian, M.D. provides important answers so that you can use this nutrient appropriately.

Healthy Man Update

Like his award-winning music, Paul's presentation of this ancient tradition is accessible for modern Western tastes and lifestyles.

Echoes of Silence
There is so much order, intelligence, and fullness in the creation that we are. There is so much beauty, so much love, so much tenderness. This is what reality is. We find ourselves in this loss of self, in the opening to mystery, in seeing the luminous presence that brightens all things. In "Eating Eternity" Robert Rabbin affirms that we are this silent beauty, that we do live as the living presence in all things, that we are love.
