Homeopathic Treatment Found Effective in Relieving Allergy Symptoms
A newly completed study demonstrates that a homeopathic treatment, when applied directly to the nasal mucous membrane with a swab or sublingually with a mist, is highly effective in relieving symptoms caused by allergies and allergic rhinitis. For many an allergy and sinus sufferer, this treatment and application procedure offers a safe, inexpensive, and effective treatment. This method of application directly to mucous membranes may foster new treatment regimens for other conditions.
Research Questions Use of Antidepressants for Children

WELLNESS and
HEALTHY LIVING
CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on MOVING, the 5th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. Everything in us is moving. The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate. To be alive is to be moving. Inhibit the movement and you create illness. Stop movement and you are dead. Allow it fully and you realize wellness. Because of this movement, everything is changing from moment to moment. To block movement therefore is to block change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life.
Simply Well
Commonsense safety is easily overlooked as an integral part of a personal wellness program. In "Prevent Accidents" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., reminds us that most accidents - both in the home and on the road - are easily preventable. He offers a memory jogger to encourage you to take action where you need it.
Staying Healthly
Tips
Illness is a lack of harmony with nature and with our true selves, a dis-integration between mind-body-emotion-spirit. In "10 Tips on Healing Naturally and The Nature of Healing" Elson M. Haas, M.D. reminds you to explore all parts of yourself and work/play to integrate them by working through weaknesses and other challenges, and allow yourself to become your full and true Self.

Nutritional Medicine and Longevity
Are megavitamins dangerous? The truth of the matter is that vitamins are in a class by themselves when it comes to safety. They are safe, even at large doses, so long as the warning signs of toxicity are heeded. In "Megadose B12 Therapy" Richard A. Kunin, M.D. discusses the medical use of B12 and expresses concern for potential damage when B12 deficiency is not recognized.
Healthy Alternatives
Rather than merely suppressing symptoms, osteopathic medicine addresses the underlying disturbances in the body's mechanisms. In asthma, medications are prescribed to cause dilation of the bronchioles. However, in "Osteopathic Treatments Effective in Managing Childhood Asthma" Mary Anne Morelli, D.O., F.A.C.O.P. speaks from personal experience to explain how, through properly applied manipulation, the body can be stimulated to release its own supply of these same chemicals.
Healthy Woman Update
Varicose veins are veins that are swollen, twisted, look blue and are close to the surface of the skin. In "Women's Health: Varicose Veins" the American Institute of Preventive Medicine outlines related causes and risk factors, plus self-care procedures to relieve and prevent this condition.

READING
Healthy Bookstore - The Cancer Handbook
Nothing fills the heart with more dread than a diagnosis of cancer. Besides the worry about the poor chances of survival, there is also worry about the dangers of most of medicine's orthodox "cures". What most oncologists don't tell you is that no cancer incurable 25 years ago is curable today, or for the most common cancers that kill 90 percent of patients today, chemotherapy is no better than snake oil. In "The Cancer Handbook: What's Really Working", compiled by Lynne McTaggart, editor of the bestselling UK newsletter What Doctors Don't Tell You, you'll discover the real evidence of when chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery work - and when they don't. You'll also find information about alternative treatments with solid scientific evidence.

Nutrition Tips
Although we reach for the coffee or tea cup hoping to boost our energy, studies show that we are actually inducing a state of stress. Caffeine drives the adrenal glands to produce stress hormones that can remain in the blood stream up to 18 hours after consumption. In "The Hidden Link Between Stress, Aging and Caffeine" Caroline MacDougall sheds new light on lifestyle practices that ultimately lead to fatigue, plus tips for kicking the caffeine habit.
There's a Yogi
in the Kitchen!
In "Eating for a Healthy Liver" by Siri-Ved Kaur Khalsa is for those looking for a way to give themselves a "Liver Tune-Up." There are different ways you can approach this, depending on what best suits you, your current health situation, and lifestyle. This could be anything from making simple changes in your current eating habits to going on an extended diet of specific foods.

Mind/Body Health
While it may make sense to limit your exposure to the viruses which trigger the sniffling, sneezing and coughing of the common cold, a recent study shows that, in fact, being around people - lots of different people - may be a key factor in being less susceptible to colds. In "Feed Friendships, Starve Colds" David S. Sobel, M.D. presents research results that the more diverse your set of social relationships - friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors, fellow members of religious and community organizations - the less likely you are to catch a cold.
Music and Wellness
Entrainment is the law of synchronization that causes two separate rhythms to naturally line up when placed near one another. Is this an explanation as to why cultures throughout history have included drumming in their rituals, celebrations, and ceremonies? In "The ART of Drum Circles" learn how drum circles seem to tap into the primal need to share and support one another through one of the simplest and most beautiful ways to connect without words; music. This is one of a series of articles by Christine Stevens, author, music therapist and Director of Music Therapy and Wellness Programs at Remo, Inc. www.remo.com
