An Auction To Benefit Vitamin Relief Usa Children's Programs
The Healthy Foundation has launched a Bids For Kids Auction to provide vitamins to at risk children. "Every $36.50 raised in the auction provides daily vitamins for a year for a homeless or poor child in America," according to Healthy Foundation's Executive Director Michael Morton.

Items up for bid include luxury travel packages to Europe, Australia and Hawaii, time with celebrities, natural products, jewelry, gift certificates, and sports memorabilia. "We are very pleased that this new fundraising venue allows us to extend an invitation to all of our supporters across the country. In this way, they can easily help to improve the quality of life of undernourished children in America. I am confident that all who participate will get great deals and have fun in the process," says Morton.

As a sponsor of the Bids for Kids auction, we at HealthWorld Online heartily encourage your generous participation. - Ed.


The Big C; As Well As Combating Colds, Mega-dose Vitamin C May Be a Life-Saver in the Fight Against the Incurable
The medical profession has routinely ignored research showing that high doses of Vitamin C can combat bacteria, toxins and severe viral infections including avian flu, SARS, hepatitis and herpes. While recommended daily allowances of 60mg are enough to prevent the development of scurvy in otherwise healthy people, much higher levels are required to maintain health when an infection strikes. At such times, the body begins to 'metabolise unusually large amounts of vitamin C, keeping stores so depleted that the recommended daily allowance will not even prevent many of the symptoms of scurvy from developing'.


Acupuncture as Effective as Drug Therapy for Migraines & Headaches
Patients given acupuncture experienced fewer migraine episodes, missed fewer days from work, and suffered no side effects compared to patients on conventional drug therapy. They also found acupuncture to be more cost-efficient, estimating a savings of hundreds of millions of dollars in private and social health expenditures if it were used to treat headaches alone instead of Western drugs.

WELLNESS and HEALTHY LIVING

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on EATING, the 4th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. Most Americans' eating patterns represent a public health crisis. If a new disease erupted that was one tenth as destructive as most people's diets, there would be a massive public outcry to find the cure. The way many people eat is the result of a lifestyle that glorifies immediate satisfaction and neglects the long-term consequences.


Simply Well
While an attitude of openness to life is definitely health-promoting, saying yes to life means saying no a good deal of the time, too. People who are afraid of disapproval from others will say yes regardless of their true feelings to avoid rocking the boat. In "Just Say No" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., explains the health promoting benefits for appropriately saying no.


Keeping Fit
Have you ever wondered why you should sandwich every workout between a few minutes of warming-up and a few minutes of cooling-down? In "Developing A Warm-Up and Cool-Down Protocol" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. explains that a progressive warm-up begins an adaptation process in both your cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems, which reduces the risk of premature physical overload and traumatic injuries. The cool-down segment in your exercise session is even more important.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

Integrative Dentistry
In "Myths and Misconceptions in Dentistry" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. draws on her 25 years of practicing dentistry to address the "fact and fiction" about wisdom teeth, fluoride, crowns, and mercury fillings.


Healthy Alternatives
Hay fever is a form of allergy affecting the lining of the nose, and often the eyes and throat too. In "Hay Fever - Allergic Rhinitis" David L. Hoffmann, B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. recommends that treating the whole person is the trick to successfully ameliorating this common problem. In addition to the symptoms of the allergy, focus on general health, diet, stress and elimination. Various essential oils help with the symptoms, but the specifics vary from person to person.


Healthy Child
Children under six years of age have an average of seven colds a year, and older children tend to have an average of four or five colds a year. Since a child can catch a cold at any time of the year, parents must not lower their guard as the weather begins to get warmer. In "Common Cold" Janet Zand L.Ac., O.M.D. discusses preventions options, plus conventional treatment, nutritional supplements, herbal treatment, homeopathy, and acupressure should symptoms appear.

Mind Over Matter
A child frequently complains "My tummy hurts and I can't get back to sleep." This condition, called "recurrent abdominal pain" (RAP), is extraordinarily difficult to diagnose and treat, and often evolves into an ongoing source of frustration for kids, their parents and physicians. In "My Tummy Hurts: A New Elixir For A Frustrating Problem" Barry Bittman, M.D. looks at the role that stress may play in this condition. He outlines stress reduction options, such as hugs and creative visualization.
