Milk-Drinking Associated with Insulin Resistance and the Metabolic Syndrome
A new study links milk drinking with insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome was defined as including diabetes or prediabetic states, along with at least two of the following: obesity, hypertension, and lipid disorders (high triglycerides, low HDL). Those who avoided milk were about half as likely to have the metabolic syndrome, compared to milk drinkers.

Hinchey Reintroduces Federal Legislation to Expand Acupuncture Coverage
Again this year legislation has been reintroduced to add coverage for acupuncture services to Medicare and the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB). If enacted, the Federal Acupuncture Coverage Act would provide access to acupuncture for Medicare's 40 million beneficiaries and the nine million federal workers, their dependents and retirees who are covered under FEHB. More than 40 million Americans regularly use some form of alternative treatment and more than 70 percent of the nation's insurers already cover acupuncture. Supporters of this bill feel it is discriminatory to prevent the one-fourth of Americans that are covered by federal health programs from choosing acupuncture as part of their health care regime.

Simply Well
Humans are image-making creatures. In "Put Yourself in the Picture of Health" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., explains how images create emotional states that affect brain chemistry, and brain chemistry will depress or strengthen every system in your body, including your immune system. No wonder visualization is such a powerful tool for personal wellness.

Conscious Relationships
Your children go through specific developmental stages--prenatal, birth, bonding/nursing, exploring, toilet-training, sexual development and more.

Integrative Dentistry
Root canals have been controversial for many years. Now researchers are asking whether root canals may be a source of illness and weakened immune system - based on research indicating the presence of residual infections even after the root canal has been performed and completed in a tooth. Should you find yourself needing this type of treatment, in "Root Canals" Flora Parsa Stay D.D.S. alerts you to a new approach.

Healthy Alternatives
Fasting can help but not if it's about control, competition or rapid weight loss. A fast is best accomplished in the spirit of gentle self-purification. In "Fasting" Emily Kane, N.D. emphasises that it is important to be well prepared, in body, mind and spirit for this special journey. Be prepared for "spiritual" cleansing, even if you have no idea reading these words what that might mean.

Fresh vegetables have life force and are a major contributor to health and vitality. In "Vegetables" Elson M. Haas, M.D. reminds us that most vegetables are very high in water and necessary vitamins and minerals and are low in fat and protein. Thus, they are a perfect complement to animal protein meals to help supply the needed nutrients that aid the digestion and utilization of those concentrated foods.
