HEALTH NEWS

Summary of Today's Important Articles on Climate Crisis
New approaches for documenting greenhouse gases and the status of global warming take many forms. General consensus is that the current statistics are not disclosing the true impact.


More on EPA's Testing of Toxic Chemicals on Women & Children
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is being closely watched for how they research the effect of various pesticides on humans. While testing on humans is banned, there appear to be a number of loopholes that need to be plugged.


EU and US Organic Policies Differ
Studies show that European and American consumers buy organic food for food safety and health. The biggest difference between the EU and US organic markets is government policy. The EU recognizes that organic agriculture provides environmental and social benefits to society and actively promotes the growth of the organic sector with a wide variety of policies designed to increase the amount of land farmed organically. In contrast, the US government treats the organic sector primarily as an expanding market opportunity for producers and regards organic food as a differentiated product available to consumers.

WELLNESS and HEALTHY LIVING

Simply Well
If you have resisted exercise in the past, it is especially important that you design a program you can live with and stay with — a gentle, step-by-step program that will appeal to your fun-loving inner child or provide companionship or quiet time alone. In "Move for the Health of It—Do Something Aerobic" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., provides you practical tips for creating just such a program.


Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing
You have guidance and protection all around you, from the moment you are born to the day you die.

In "Step Four of Intuitive Healing: Ask For Inner Guidance" Judith Orloff, M.D. presents tips for how you can request inner guidance. She cautions you to have fun and not to try too hard.


Healthy Stress
Time pressure can have powerful effects on the body. In "Rx: Halting Time Pressure" David S. Sobel, M.D. talks about how the incessant struggle to do more and more in less and less time makes us more likely to respond with toxic anger.

AVATAR 8 - ADVERTISEMENT

REVOLUTIONARY ANTI-OXIDANT COMPOUND, FIGHTS INFLAMMATION, STRESS AND FATIGUE

In the era we live in, stress, fatigue, and inflammation are almost impossible to avoid. So if you can't avoid it, then beat it. Deep in the rainforest of the amazon grows one of natures's most powerful anti-inflammatory agents, uncaria tomentosa or "una de gato". Utilizing our proprietary, patented extraction and purification process we concentrated the natural healing properties of this plant to create AC-11R, a revolutionary anti-oxidant compound. Next, by complimenting the power of AC-11R with eight herbal remedies from around the world, we created Avatar 8T, an effective tool to help liberate your body from Inflammation, Stress, and Fatigue.


NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

Integrative Dentistry
At first it seems totally unrelated that gum disease might affect how we feel in general. However, with the onset of gum disease there is also present a low-grade infection. If not checked and treated, this will affect your overall state of health. In "The Lack of Energy You Feel May Be From Gum Disease" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. explains that the gum tissues are very rich in blood vessels and with gum disease these blood vessels become an easy form of transport of dangerous infection causing bacteria and their by-products.


Healthy Alternatives
Oral chelation means substances taken by mouth to chelate undesirable substances out of the body. In "Oral Chelation" Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., M.R.O. presents two basic approaches: the first uses foods and nutrient supplements to achieve this effect and the other uses oral EDTA supplements.


Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
Certain types of fat are very bad for your body. They damage your overall health and significantly increase your risk of breast cancer and other serious diseases. In "Breast Health Tip #5: Fats to Avoid" Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S explains the specific dangers of the worst types of fats; saturated fats (especially animal fats) and fats that have been chemically altered, called trans fats or hydrogenated fats.


Healthy Man Update
Are you aware that there is a direct relationship between your intimate relationships and your health? In "Sex, Love, And Healing" Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, N.D., M.S.W., DHANP explains how when there is anger, resentment, fear, jealousy or grief between lovers or feelings of sexual inadequacy, the genitals, uterus, ovaries, prostate gland, or testes may be directly affected. If you are having persistent health problems, sexual or otherwise,which haven't responded to orthodox medicine, consider looking further and deeper.

RECOMMENDED READING

Different medicines and classes of drugs are discussed and evaluated based on their efficacy, long-term effects on the human body and side effects. Even Traditional Chinese Medicine is included.

HEALTHY KITCHEN

Nutrition Tips
In summer, we consume more liquids and raw, fresh fruits and vegetables, salads, and a lighter diet in general, and we are usually more active. This is a good season to experiment with special diets, such as fasting, or a raw food diet. In "Summer 4-Day Menu Plan" Elson M. Haas, M.D. provides special "summer" menus, plus 13 menus.


Fabulous Functional Foods
A traditional sorbet contains very little but sugar and water. The "Coconut-Apple Sorbet" from Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan contains a fair amount of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and enzymes because all the ingredients used are fresh. Why don't people make sorbets this way all the time?

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT

The Healer Within
In "Exhale to Compress the Organs" Dr. Roger Jahnke reveals a breath practice that takes the exhalation of the full chest and abdominal breath to a radical extreme that dramatically shifts the pressure in the pelvic, abdominal and chest cavities. It takes just a few moments, costs nothing is always with you (just a breath away) and unleashes a powerful healing energy.


Spiritual Wellness
In "The Spirit of Wellness" Philip Goldberg references research on spirituality and health. Dozens of experiments have linked religious participation with various measures of well-being. However, religious involvement is generally good for your health only when your spiritual life itself is healthy. Some of the basic elements of spiritual wellness include take responsibility, heal religious wounds, go beyond belief, broaden your base, gather together, and monitor your progress.


CELTIC MYSTICAL JOURNEYS - ADVERTISEMENT

PASSAGES FROM THE CELTIC MYSTICAL TRAVEL JOURNAL OF FINBARR ROSS AND THE BUTTERFLY TOURS

This last trip to England began in a helicopter with breathtaking views of 20 of the latest crop circles. The next day we walked through five of them, and an unexpected deep and lasting silence fell over everyone as we experienced this mysterious phenomena. We then quested onto Avebury and legendary Glastonbury, where everyone experienced the restorative powers of the sacred waters of the Chalice Well. This is also a place of the great legend about Master Jesus visiting here with his uncle Joseph of Arimathea where he reportedly took the Druid initiations before going on to India. We had an early morning private visit among the stones at Stonehenge, and we did a healing ceremony in the inner temple allowing the travelers to experience the mystical marriage between the energies of the now and the ancient wisdom. Only two Mists of Avalon to Camelot sacred journeys left to England this year: July 24th and Sept. 4th. To view, click on www.celticmysticaljourneys.com/england.htm
