SPONSOR - SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE
MOVIES THAT INSPIRE, HEAL AND TRANSFORM
The SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE offers a service that's unique and deeply
needed. The CIRCLE gives you a way to bring hours of inspiring
entertainment into your life each month, while making an important
contribution to the world. In addition, it's an incredible bargain. If,
like me, you love movies, but you find it harder and harder to go to
theaters because of the violence, emptiness and overall lack of quality and
imagination that most of the current crop represents, The CIRCLE is a
wonderful opportunity.

Doctors Say Dairy Industry Should Warn Consumers That Milk Can Make Them Sick
Many people are not aware they are lactose intolerant and unwittingly buy
milk, only to suffer side effects after drinking it -- such as abdominal
pain, diarrhea, and other painful gastrointestinal symptoms. A lawsuit
seeking lactose intolerance warnings on milk cartons was denied, but the
case will be taken to a higher court.
The Rise Of Slime: Industrial Societies Are Killing The Oceans
Industrial society is overdosing the oceans with basic nutrients - the
nitrogen, carbon, iron and phosphorous compounds that curl out of
smokestacks and tailpipes, wash into the sea from fertilized lawns and
cropland, seep out of septic tanks, and gush from sewer pipes. Over time,
the accumulation of environmental pressures has altered the basic chemistry
of the seas. The causes are varied, but collectively they have made the
ocean more hospitable to primitive organisms by putting too much food into
the water. The resulting explosion of primitive organisms is killing larger
species and sickening people.
FDA Facing Mounting Criticism That It Protects Corporate Profits, Not Public Health
The entire FDA budget for drug regulation is about $500 million and relies
extensively on user fees. User fees are paid by drug companies seeking
marketing approval and those with drugs on the market, and by law may only
be used to fund the marketing approval process -- not FDA's other
functions, like safety reviews of drugs already on the market. As a result,
the FDA is financially indebted to the companies it must regulate.

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
While an attitude of openness to life is definitely health-promoting,
saying yes to life means saying no a good deal of the time, too. People who
are afraid of disapproval from others will say yes regardless of their true
feelings to avoid rocking the boat. In "Just Say No" John W. Travis, M.D.,
M.P.H., explains the health promoting benefits for appropriately saying no.
Staying Healthly Tips
In "10 Tips For The False Fat Diet: How To Minimize Food Reactions" Elson
M. Haas, M.D. defines "false fat" as the bloating and swelling that can
result from eating "reactive" foods. This makes people look and feel fatter
than they actually are. The process that generates false fat also
contributes to the congestion and inflammation that leads to many acute and
chronic health problems.
Tips for a
Healthy Summer
Don't let your summer be tarnished with a fall, twisted limb, sports injury
or over-exertion. Prevention is far better than needing "First Aid for
Sprains & Strains" including R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate).

NATURAL
ALTERNATIVES
From Fatigued to Fantastic
In "Q & A on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia with Jacob Teitelbaum,
M.D. - #6" Dr. Teitelbaum responds to concerned questions about what can
cause a sudden onset of CFS/FMS.
Healthy Alternatives
Physicians and healers of all forms and from all cultures have used
hands-on manipulation throughout history as an integral part of health care
practice. In "Massage Therapy and Bodywork: Healing Through Touch" William
Collinge, M.P.H., Ph.D. provides an in-depth explanation of this form of
healthcare.
Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
Maitake mushrooms, considered gourmet food in this country, have been used
for thousands of years as medicines in Asian cultures. In "Breast Health
Tip #8: Medicinal Mushrooms" Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S. reports
recent research indicating how Maitake mushrooms boosts and stimulates the
immune system and can be very beneficial in protecting against and fighting
many types of cancer, including breast cancer.
Healthy Child
Parents and pediatric health practitioners need to be aware of the
potential dangers of putting babies to sleep on a typical crib mattress. In
"What You Should Know About Babies' Crib Mattresses" Jane Sheppard and
Barry A. Cik educate parents about chemicals that can leach out of crib
mattresses into the surrounding air. A young child's every breath inhales
air no more than six inches away from these chemicals.
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

Nutrition Tips
In "Know the Laws of Nutrition" Patrick Quillin, Ph.D., R.D. offers the the
KISS method of optimal nutrition and stresses the difference between
surviving and thriving. Disease is the absence of wellness. Allow wellness
to infiltrate the body and mind.
Fabulous Functional Foods
Only halfway between sorbet and ice cream with real cream but all the way
tasty. In "Dairy Free
Cocoa-Banana Ice Cream" Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan brings us this ice
cream that contains no dairy products and is very low fat for a dessert -
and contains no refined carbohydrates.

DR. ANDREW WEIL'S MIND-BODY TOOL KIT
The evidence is overwhelming: you can tap the power of your mind to
directly influence your health, using clinically proven tools that anyone

of self-healing practices.
MIND-BODY-SPIRIT
Mind/Body Health
Our understanding of most diseases is still quite primitive, reports Dr.
David Sobel in "The Mind/Body Guilt Syndrome." We know very little about
why some people exposed to stressors such as germs and traumatic
experiences become ill while others remain healthy. Mind matters, but mind
cannot always triumph over matter. Sometimes the biology of disease is
simply overwhelming.
Mind-Body-Spirit
Your spiritual nature is a psychological fact. It is the real and
transformative force that empowers your life. In "Psychospiritual
Integration" Jacquelyn Small, L.C.S.W. relates how this process begins to
occur naturally when the ego and soul turn to focus upon one another.
