HEALTH NEWS

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.

WELLNESS and 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.


INDIVIDUALIZED HEALTH SOLUTIONS - ADVERTISEMENT

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 nutrient needs.

"There is no more guess work involved - now you can take control of your health with the Signature Supplement individualized nutritional program." says Gary D. Sandman, president of Individual Health Solutions, llc. "We can now provide you with an individualized nutritionally bio-matched multi-vitamin, mineral and amino acid supplement to help maintain your youthfulness and optimize your health and wellbeing. You can feel the difference bio-matched vitamins do for you." As featured on recent NBC newscasts.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

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.


Healthy Alternatives
Care must be taken in treating children with aromatherapy, although there are any number of safe ones. In "Aromatherapy And Children" Kathi Keville and Mindy Green present several practical essential oils appropriate for common childhood ailments.


Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
Inside every plant is a natural anti-cancer pharmacy. In "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 American Institute for Preventive Medicine guides offers parents simple self-help treatment options, plus a guide to evaluating whether hiccups are harmless or serious.


Find an Alternative Healthcare Professional
The Professional Referral Network contains searchable directories for 20 leading professional associations in complementary and integrative health care, with over 17,000 professionals. Looking for a healthcare professional specializing in homeopathy? The "Homeopathy section includes the Council for Homeopathic Certification and Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians member databases.


RECOMMENDED READING

HEALTHY KITCHEN

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 dishes with healthy ingredients. His tasty recipes are highly nourishing and healing, and omit many of the items troublesome for people with allergies and other restrictive conditions.

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT

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.
