Healthy Stress
In "The Effects of Stress" Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., M.R.O. explains how stress of a psychological or emotional nature can produce marked changes in the musculo-skeletal system, profoundly influencing the overall functioning of the body. He shows how osteopathy can be an important component of a comprehensive, non-drug approach to stress management.

Dr. Galland's Integrated Medicine
In "Foods that Heal" Leo Galland, M.D. discusses detoxifying foods which protect against the effects of environmental pollution, free-radical induced cell damage and cancer through dietary anti-oxidants. Foods that are richest in these anti-oxidants are red, yellow and green vegetables, uncooked nuts and seeds (like almonds and sunflower seeds), and fish. He also outlines the important infection-fighting foods such as garlic, ginger, onions, and tumeric, as well as vegetables containing a high concentration of a group of natural chemicals called saponins, which have immune-stimulating and antibiotic effects--soybeans, chickpeas, bean sprouts, asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes and oats.

Healthy Alternatives
Social and individual assumptions about age and its consequences can lock people into a series of self-fulfilling expectations. In "Herbal Therapy & Elder Health" David L. Hoffmann, B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. presents key aspects to consider and shows how herbal therapies offer benefits.

Healthy Woman Update
One of the most serious consequences of post-menopausal aging is the development of osteoporosis. In "Osteoporosis & Other Physical Changes" Susan M. Lark, M.D. encourages women to consider options besides the use of HRT and drugs. She presents various healthy lifestyle habits a woman can use to prevent damage to her bones, joints, muscles, skin and hair after menopause.

Nutrition Tips
It is no news that proper weight management requires two things: managing food intake and getting adequate amounts of exercise. In "New Diet Breakthrough!" Sean Slovenski stresses that the important questions are: a) Is the diet healthy, and b) Is it doable and sustainable? Research shows that success of behavior change programs, such as weight management programs, can be improved 300% depending on how goals are set up and how the plans are supported.

Vegetarian Recipe

RAPID RELIEF FOR MIGRAINES - WORKS IN MINUTES, NOT HOURS!

MigraSpray is a patented over-the-counter homeopathic drug intended to be a comprehensive approach for the treatment and prevention of migraine headaches. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo, controlled clinical trial, 88% of patients received relief of symptoms in an average of less than 7 minutes. In an ongoing clinical trial 90% of patients using MigraSpray on a continual daily basis had their migraine headache attacks eliminated.

Mind/Body Health
The decision to seek care is more determined by anxiety, worry, stress, lack of confidence, lack of information, job dissatisfaction, and unhealthy lifestyles than it is by the presence or absence of physical disease. In "Meditation Reduces Medical Costs" David S. Sobel, M.D. presents the research that supports it is reasonable to think that mind/body interventions which address the underlying distress that prompts visits to physicians, might reduce distress and medical expenses.

Mind-Body-Spirit
Yoga has seen a tremendous resurgence in the past decade. "Questions on Yoga" is a conversation with Donna Farhi as she shares her views regarding what yoga is, it's different forms, why it is becoming more popular now, and how she foresees the practice of yoga evolving in the future.
