BREATHING: THE MASTER KEY TO SELF-HEALING (CD)
ANDREW WEIL, MD

The health you enjoy today, and for the rest of your life, begins with your next breath. In fact, breathing is so crucial to your body's ability to heal and sustain itself that Dr. Andrew Weil says: "If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly."

On Breathing: The Master Key to Self Healing, listeners will learn a complete course of eight breathing exercises that Dr. Weil uses in his own life, and has prescribed to hundreds of patients over the past two decades, Dr. Weil reports that these breathing exercises get more favorable response from patients than anything else he teaches.

Today Computers become obsolete so fast, that computers just a few years old can't do much more that help in writing a letter. Computers are now a significant part of our hazardous waste stream. It is estimated that that the 315 million computers expected to become obsolete by the year 2004 would contain, among other hazardous wastes, 1.2 billion pounds of lead, 2 million pounds of cadmium, 400,000 pounds of mercury and 1.2 million pounds of chromium. Many municipalities ban the disposal of computer and television equipment. In "Dealing With Obsolete Computers" Annie Berthold-Bond of Care2.com offers you other options.

What Doctors Don't Tell You
"AIDS and the Steroid Connection" points out some interesting correlations in the rise and fall of T-cell levels. While the HIV hypothesis says that HIV causes AIDS by killing a person’s T cells, there is research that does not support this. There is no clinical or laboratory evidence that HIV has the ability to kill infected T4 cells. In a tissue culture study the T-cells were healthy and continued to function for more than four months after inoculation with HIV. The majority of AIDS patients who participated in the four major AZT treatment clinical trials in the US during 1987-1992 were HIV-negative prior to AZT treatment. HIV-positive men who used a steroid preparation suffered a steady decline in T-cells, yet when some discontinued the steroid use their T-cells increased.

Healthy Alternatives
Flower remedies may be chosen for children of all ages by carefully evaluating each remedy description and applying each to the circumstances at hand. In "Flower Remedies for Childcare" Leslie J. Kaslof suggests appropriate flower remedies for teething, temper tantrums, sibling rivalry, fear, shy child, drowsy child, bullying child, bullied child and easily discouraged child.

Healthy Woman Update
Most reputable weight loss products contain three elements: a diuretic to promote urination and water weight loss; a mild stimulant to keep you "on the go" and peppy feeling; some form of euphoric and analgesic so that you don't feel the "pain" of hunger or calorie deprivation or increased levels of exercise. In "Weight Loss" Emily Kane, N.D. offers you some healthy, natural examples.

Nutrition Tips
You normally think of using seasonings to enhance the flavor of food. In "Seasonings" Elson M. Haas, M.D. explains how many herbs and spices can be used for medicinal purposes, such as stimulating the appetite or aiding digestion. He details salt, extracts, peppers, condiments, herbs and spices, and sweeteners.

MigraSpray is a patented over-the-counter homeopathic drug intended to be a comprehensive approach for the treatment and prevention of migraine headaches.

In an ongoing clinical trial 90% of patients using MigraSpray on a continual daily basis had their migraine headache attacks eliminated.

The Healer Within
The experts are constantly practicing toward successful quieting of the mind and body. This particular technique assures a genuine state of relaxation by actually involving the body parts. In "Progressive Relaxation, Option I" Dr. Roger Jahnke offers you a technique perfect for those of you who wish to tap the benefits of the self-applied methods but have little prior experience.

Spiritual Wellness
One of the great paradoxes of the spiritual path is that we are on our own and we can't do it alone. No matter how devoted we might be to a particular faith or teaching, we and we alone determine what to believe and not to believe, what practices to engage in, where to affiliate and how to spend our time. In "Spiritual Companionship" Philip Goldberg notes that at the same time, no matter how independent we might be, we all need help. We need teachers, guides, scriptures, traditions, institutions—and each other. Companions provide comfort, support, insight, practical information and a lot of other things, which is why every spiritual tradition emphasizes the importance of community.
