Survey of Academic Medical Centers' Agreements with Industry Finds Differing Standards for Control of Clinical Trial Results
The level of control that industry sponsors exercise over clinical research has been the subject of considerable concern in recent months following allegations that pharmaceutical companies did not disclose study results about the safety risks of Vioxx and other COX-2 inhibitors in a timely fashion.

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on the power of PLAYING & WORKING, the 8th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing.

Keeping Fit
Golf is a most challenging activity due to the complexity and intricacy of the game. However, you may not be aware that the golf swing is one of the most difficult and demanding physical skills in the sports world. In "Getting In Shape For Golf" Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. details his years of research which have contributed to the new attitude towards strength training for golfers. He outlines a basic strength training protocol with 15 exercises for the major muscle groups and six standard stretching exercises.

From Fatigued to Fantastic
Sleep apnea is a condition in which you repeatedly stop breathing during the night. Symptoms that suggest sleep apnea are snoring, being overweight, hypertension, daytime sleepiness, periods where breathing stops at night, and frequent auto accidents. In "Sleep Apnea" Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. offers three main treatment categories: behavioral, pharmacologic, and mechanical.

Healthy Alternatives
In "Weight Loss" Emily Kane, N.D. presents a naturopathic approach that offers natural options for the basic three elements in most weight loss products; 1) a diuretic to promote urination and water weight loss; 2) a mild stimulant to keep you "on the go" and peppy feeling; 3) some form of euphoric and analgesic so that you don't feel the "pain" of hunger or calorie deprivation or increased levels of exercise.

Healthy Child
About one-third of childhood sore throats are diagnosed as "strep" throat, which is highly contagious and persistent.

Healthy Bookstore - The Field

"The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe" by Lynne McTaggart is an exposition of the discoveries of a handful of frontier scientists who, in the course of searching for an alternative to fossil fuels, stumbled upon the Zero Point Field....a field of unimaginably large quantum energy - enough to boil the oceans of the world - which seems to hold the key to life itself: to cell communication, to DNA, to how phenomena such as ESP, homeopathy, energy medicine, spiritual healing, intercessory prayer and psychic power work.

Nutrition Tips
Vegetable oils should contribute a higher percentage of the total fat in our diet than they currently do, as this would increase the proportion of polyunsaturated to saturated fats, which is helpful. In "Oils" Elson M. Haas, M.D. presents benefits of different types of oil, cautions regarding how an oil is processed, and when heat adversely affects the chemical structure.

There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!

Mind/Body Health
Most illnesses result from a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, behavioral, and psychosocial factors. Rarely is any one of these factors the sole cause of a disease. Our understanding of most diseases is still quite primitive, reports Dr. David Sobel in "The Mind/Body Guilt Syndrome." We know very little about why some people exposed to stressors such as germs and traumatic experiences become ill while others remain healthy. Mind matters, but mind cannot always triumph over matter. Sometimes the biology of disease is simply overwhelming.

Wholistic Spiritual Healing
The words we use shape our perceptions and our interactions with the world. In "The Healing Potential in a Word (Part 1)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. points out how we take our perceptions of the world for granted because our family, friends, and nation validate our perceptions by consensual agreement. The words and labels we learn to use come to identify who we are, what we do, how we do it, and how we relate to each other individually and collectively, and how we interact with to the environment.
