FDA Plans Stronger Warnings for Antidepressants Used by Children
Federal health officials are preparing stronger warnings for some antidepressants used by children after new analyses back a possible link to suicide. The question is how strong the warnings will be and whether any of the drugs will come with specific instructions not to use them in children and teenagers.


New Research Finds a Link between Household Plastic Softeners And Childhood Allergies
There is a clear link between asthma in children and concentrations of chemicals commonly used to soften plastics, according to new research. The study found a strong correlation between levels of phthalates - chemicals used to make plastic more flexible, and commonly found in toys and PVC flooring - and symptoms of allergies in children. They also found a link between the concentrations of BBzP and the tendency to suffer from rhinitis (runny nose and eyes) and eczema. The presence of another plastic softener, di-ethyl hexyl pthalate (DEHP) was linked to asthma.


EU Plan A Bitter Pill To Swallow, Say Campaigners
New European Union legislation could see Vitamin C tablets, which help to fight infections, and the mineral Boron, which is important for developing strong bones and teeth, among others, made illegal. Consumer groups feel this may be their last chance to change this unnecessary and damaging EU legislation. With the public's help, they are working to force ministers to preserve access to these products on behalf of British consumers.

WELLNESS and HEALTHY LIVING

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on SENSING, the third of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. It is through the senses--seeing, touching, smelling, hearing, tasting--that we come to know and enjoy the world. Our abilities to work, to feel pleasure, to communicate with others, and to impact the world are directly related to our abilities to appreciate and use our sensory input efficiently and creatively.


Simply Well
With the experts disagreeing among themselves, it's no wonder that nutrition has become almost as controversial as religion or politics. In "Develop Personal Nutritional Awareness" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., guides you to develop awareness of your body and its nutritional needs. You learn to observe what types and quantities of food and what eating environments support your overall wellbeing, and which don't.


Ask Dr. Orloff About Intutive Healing
Many of us don't realize we're exposed to sexual vibes everywhere, and are clueless about what we ourselves give off. In "Positive Energy: The Fifth Prescription - How To Read Sexual Energy" Judith Orloff, M.D. explains how to begin to notice the effect of sexual vibes in small and large interactions.


TOTAL HEALTH RECOVERY PROGRAM - ADVERTISEMENT

TOTAL HEALTH RECOVERY PROGRAM FOR ADDICTS AND ALCOHOLICS

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

Integrative Dentistry
It is important not to take oral symptoms, such as bleeding when brushing or flossing, or other seemingly harmless signals, as not important. In "Medical Disease Manifestations in the Mouth" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. explains how numerous medical conditions give early warning symptoms in the mouth.


Healthy Alternatives
In "The Basic Principles of Chinese Traditional Medicine" George T. Lewith, M.A., M.R.C.G.P., M.R.C.P. guides you step-by-step through numerous aspects of TCM, including a brief explanation of each - from Yin/Yang through various syndromes.


Healthy Woman Update
In "Nutritional Program for Fatigue" Michael Janson M.D. outlines the many causes of persistent fatigue, as opposed to simply being tired from exercise or a heavy work load. He outlines recovery options which include eating properly, exercising, reducing emotional stressors, and avoiding food allergens and environmental toxins, plus a dietary supplementation program to correct nutritional imbalances or borderline deficiencies.

The Professional Referral Network contains searchable directories for 20 leading professional associations in complementary and integrative health care, with over 17,000 professionals.
