Civil Rights Leader and Groups Endorse Health Freedom Protection Act
Additional groups are urging all members of Congress to
support H.R. 4282, the Health Freedom Protection Act. They
have joined the Coalition to End FDA and FTC Censorship. The
bill ends censorship of scientifically supported claims
while keeping in place existing federal statutory provisions
against fraud. Introduced November 9, 2005, the bill is
endorsed by fifteen members of Congress. It is pending
before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
EPA Launches Program to Increase Use of Domestically Grown and Produced Fuels
Starting in 2006, Americans will be gassing up with nearly
three percent of clean-burning, domestic renewable fuels
such as ethanol under new standards issued by EPA. The
program will significantly increase the volume of renewable
fuels blended into motor vehicle fuels. Various renewable
fuels can be used to meet the requirements of the program,
including ethanol and biodiesel.
WTO Likely to Attempt to Force GMOs on Europe
In January 2006, the World Trade Organization (WTO) is
expected to rule on a U.S. challenge to European rejection
of genetically engineered (GE) food. The current U.S. case
against Europe at the WTO does not challenge present E.U.
regulations on GE food, but only concerns Europe's delay in
granting approvals of new GE varieties, a "de facto
moratorium" that Europe lifted in 2004. Regardless of the
outcome of the case, European and worldwide refusal to buy
GE foods from the U.S. will continue.

HEALTHY LIVING
CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on FEELING, the 6th of 12 keys
to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. We experience
feelings and emotions from well before the event of our
birth. They can be intense, or frightening, or wonderful.
They can also be the most misunderstood, and consequently
mistreated, gifts we have as human beings. We judge them,
repress them, discount them, drug them, worship them, and
run from them. Yet, what a bore to be without them! Life
fully lived is life filled with feeling!
Simply Well
Music alters the body and the mind. In "Explore Healing
Music and Sounds" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., reminds us
that music can enhance deep relaxation, supply you with new
energy, stimulate creativity, and even transport you into
other states of consciousness - depending on the type of
music you choose.
Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing
Fear is the biggest energy thief there is. A master seducer,
it shamelessly robs of us of everything good and powerful,
preys on our vulnerabilities. In "Positive Energy: The
Fourth Prescription Generate Positive Emotional Energy to
Counter Negativity" Judith Orloff, M.D. offers seven
anti-fear tactics for shrinking fear with positive energy.

VITAMINS BASED ON YOUR BODY'S NEEDS, NOT RDA's
There is no more need for confusion about the vitamins and
minerals your body personally needs. One-size-fits-all
vitamin formulas are last century's technology.
Individualized formulas based on your unique biochemical
needs are now possible and affordable. After 20 years of
clinical research, on over 20,000 clients, analyzing over
100 vital blood, tissue and urine tests a group of
scientists can now determine each individual's basic

Nutritional Medicine and Longevity
Perhaps the most insidious distraction that throws a doctor
off the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency is the medical
teaching that B12 is stored in the adult human liver in an
amount sufficient for 5 to 10 years of total deprivation. In
"Vitamin B12: The Mood And Energy Vitamin" Richard A. Kunin,
M.D. shares cases illustrating how B12 deficiency symptoms
manifest in mental and emotional conditions and in low
energy and motivation.

"Breast Health Tip #15: Cruciferous Vegetables" Christine
Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S explains how the natural
"chemotherapy" found in plants is safe and side-effect free.
They express an intelligence of such brilliance that
pharmaceutical companies are now studying them in an effort
to learn how to create effective, but far less toxic,
chemotherapy.
Healthy Child
Hiccups happen when the diaphragm tightens up. Babies
usually get hiccups because they swallow air when feeding.
Older children get hiccups from drinking too much soda pop
or eating too much too fast. In "Childhood Hiccups" the

parents simple self-help treatment options, plus a guide to
evaluating whether hiccups are harmless or serious.

Nutrition Tips
The winter diet is often the richest, warmest, and heaviest
of the seasonal diets. It includes more cooked foods, fewer
fresh foods and cold drinks, and more teas and soups to keep
the body warmer. And, of course, we may need more rest and
dream time in the winter. In "Winter 4-Day Menu Plan" Elson
M. Haas, M.D. provides food recommendations, menu plans, and
specific recipes.
Fabulous Functional Foods
Do you have trouble finding recipes to match special dietary
needs? Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan offers you gourmet

Mind/Body Health
Can one or two drinks a day actually be beneficial? In
"Here's to Your Heart David S. Sobel, M.D. outlines the
apparent correlation of moderate drinking and a reduction of
mortality from heart disease by about a third. Though even
moderate alcohol consumption can have a downside, such as an
increased risk of breast cancer in women, it appears that
the beneficial effects on total mortality outweigh the
harmful effects.
Mind-Body-Spirit
For disorders such as brain dysfunction, depression, mental
weakness or confusion, loss of memory, ringing of the ears
and many other ailments, the physician, naturopath and
herbalist might all prescribe the same medicine - ginkgo. In
"Ginkgo - Ancient Medicine, Modern Medicine" Christopher
Hobbs, L.Ac., A.H.G. explains how ginkgo can help increase
and maintain the blood supply to the very small vessels of
the body, the capillaries. These vessels nourish all the
tissues of the body, but most importantly the brain.
