Infant Fluoride Intake Risky And Unnecessary
Fluorosis (white-spotted, yellow or brown stained, sometimes pitted or crumbly teeth) is the too-late warning sign that babies overdosed on fluoride.

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of TRANSCENDING, the 12th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The final form of energy in the wellness energy system is a subtle one that has only recently been given scientific credence. It is the realm of the transcendent or the spiritual (a word that's only now becoming acceptable in everyday speech). The human ability to transcend ordinary consciousness is actually an age-old gift that opens mind and heart to the potential of love, and to the miracle and magnificence of the moment, so often forgotten in the daily grind of our busy lives.

Nutritional Medicine and Longevity
In "Homocysteine: The Key To Heart Attack, Stroke, & Cardiovascular Disease" Richard A. Kunin, M.D. notes that homocysteine is a preventable and treatable factor in blood vessel disease. In fact over 200 research studies already provide a consensus that identifies this molecule as the most important strategic factor in heart attacks and strokes, far more powerful than cholesterol and fat. If the chemical pathways to its useful end-products are impaired, homocysteine build-up causes more mischief than any other physiologic "ortho"molecule. People with high homocysteine scores are at greater risk for heart attack.

The technique described by Dr. Roger Jahnke in "Alternate Nostril Breathing" has been employed by practitioners of Yoga in India for thousands of years who were aware of the significance of balancing the breath in both nostrils and employed this knowledge to enhance health and consciousness.
