Multivitamins Are Safe: So How Soon Can We Ban Them?
In decades of people taking a wide variety of dietary
supplements, few adverse effects have been noted, and zero
deaths as a result of dietary supplements. There is far more
risk to public health from people stopping their vitamin
supplements than from people taking them. Despite this there
is an impetus for vitamin control coming from the US
National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug
Administration.
Antidepressants: They Make Everyone Suicidal
Antidepressants such as Prozac don’t just make adolescents
suicidal – they affect everyone the same way, new research
has discovered. This worrying discovery came to light only
when researchers in Ontario Canada reviewed every case of
suicide by an adult aged up to 66 years over an eight-year
period.
EPA Scientists Protest Pending Pesticide Approvals — Unacceptable Risk To Children and Political Pressure on Scientists Decried
In an unprecedented action, representatives for thousands of
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency scientists are publicly
objecting to imminent agency approval for a score of
powerful, controversial pesticides. The scientists cite
"compelling evidence" which EPA leadership is choosing to
ignore that these "pesticides damage the developing nervous
systems of fetuses, infants and children."

Healthy Bookstore - The Yoga Tradition
Most Westerners have a limited understanding of what the
term yoga implies. In "The Yoga Tradition: Its History,
Literature, Philosophy and Practice" Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D.
describes yoga as a "spectacularly multifaceted phenomena,"
and performs a truly yogic feat by combining commentary with
translated Sanskrit teachings, history with theory, the
spiritual with the practical, and the classical with the
contemporary. He illuminates every facet and phase of yoga
from its roots in shamanism to its connections to the
complex and dynamic spirituality of India, especially yoga's
relationship with Hinduism and Buddhism.

of these 25 options can you incorporate into your life this

Fabulous Functional Foods
A dessert that tastes like ice cream, only it's made without
milk, sugar, or egg. Too good to be true? Not for Danish
chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan. His recipe for "Dairy Free
Banana-Apple Ice Cream" is another example of how he
integrates taste with nutritious healing foods.
