Consumers Beware: 175 Toxic Chemicals Found in Conventional Cosmetics
Women who wear mainstream cosmetics products may be unknowingly applying as many as 175 different chemicals to their bodies every day. Three cosmetics ingredients in particular can cause severe health problems. Parabens (preserving agents used in many moisturizers and body creams) have been linked to cancer and skin irritation. Sodium laureth and sulfate (foaming agents used in shampoos) can irritate the skin. Formaldehyde (used in hand soap and shampoo) can also act as a skin irritant.

School Lunches Improving as Districts Nationwide Take Action to Halt Rising Rates of Childhood Obesity
Childhood obesity is a bigger threat to kids than the schoolyard bully. Children heading back to school this fall will benefit from the recent push at all levels of government to fight childhood obesity by promoting healthy eating, with a focus on increasing consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Drug Ads Sell a Problem, Not a Solution
It is an old saying in the advertising trade that you sell the problem, not the solution. That helps explain why the media today are awash with images of disease. Pharmaceutical companies sell disease. Every state and stage of existence has become a pathology in need of pharmaceutical "intervention," and life itself is a petri dish of biochemical deficiency and need. There are far better ways to inform the public about health issues than to spend billions of dollars a year pushing pills. This is why more than 200 medical school professors recently called for an end to prescription drug ads, and why close to 40 health and seniors groups have joined them.

Continuing Our 12-Stage Journey to Wellness
This week our journey focuses on the power of FINDING MEANING, the 11th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Finding meaning appears to be a unique human need. It is one of the most complex uses of energy in that it involves almost all of the previous energy forms. Since the beginning of time philosophers have asked these basic questions: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? What do I want? What is real? What is true? This section encourages you to find a deeper meaning in your life that can provide a powerful focus for directing your life-energy.

Healthy Computing
The habit of freezing under stress is so automatically conditioned that it appears to have a life of its own. In "Bathroom Break" Erik Peper, Ph.D. offers you some techniques for calming yourself in stressful situations.

LIFEFORCE: A DYNAMIC PLAN FOR HEALTH, VITALITY, AND WEIGHT LOSS

Tired of being tired? For many people waking up exhausted is "just another day," and headaches, joint pain, weight issues, allergies and digestive problems seem to be a part of everyday life. Often these symptoms may be related to systemic candidiasis; a type of fungus that often spreads throughout the body and affects numerous organs and tissues. Dr. Jeffrey McCombs, through his twenty-two years of practice, has developed The LifeForce Plan™; a successful, effective, detoxification/dietary protocol to eliminate systemic Candidiasis and help restore your body’s vitality. It’s somewhat miraculous results are achieved through a time-proven approach that reverses the ravaging effects of antibiotics and transforms the way you look and feel about yourself.

Nutritional Medicine and Longevity
In "Homocysteine: The Key To Heart Attack, Stroke, & Cardiovascular Disease" Richard A. Kunin, M.D. notes that homocysteine is a preventable and treatable factor in blood vessel disease. In fact over 200 research studies already provide a consensus that identifies this molecule as the most important strategic factor in heart attacks and strokes, far more powerful than cholesterol and fat. If the chemical pathways to its useful end-products are impaired, homocysteine build-up causes more mischief than any other physiologic "ortho"molecule. People with high homocysteine scores are at greater risk for heart attack.

Healthy Alternatives
It is almost certain that acupuncture has been known and used in the West since the seventeenth century. In "The History of Acupuncture in the West" George T. Lewith, M.A., M.R.C.G.P., M.R.C.P. traces the "re-discovery" of this modality in Europe and North America. There is not prolific research output from North American which re-emphasizes that acupuncture is an effective form of therapy for many conditions, especially pain.

Women's Health Detective
Exposure to light at night not only affects your ability to sleep during the day, it also increases your risk for cancer. In "Beyond Insomnia: Your Favorite Sleep Hormone Is Now Used In Cancer Therapy" Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. discusses an interesting phenomena revealed by a study that showed less toxicity and a better response from drug therapy in patients with colon cancer who were given their medication at night. Combine traditional treatments with melatonin, and the benefits increased dramatically.

Holistic Healthcare For Children
Children are naturally inquisitive, explorative, demonstrative, and sensitive. Unfortunately,the majority of schools demand that children conform to more or less rigid expectations for behavior and admonish any significant deviations. In "Attention Problems in Children" Randall Neustaedter, O.M.D. offers parents tips toward greater understanding of the child's true nature, plus natural treatment options for when more is needed.

Healthy Woman Update
Veins are superbly designed tubes with a series of one-way valves which are structured to prevent the contents, blood, from flowing any other way than forwards towards the heart when they are in good health. In "Varicose Veins and Hemorrhoids: Prevention and Treatment" Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., M.R.O. describes the most common results when veins are not in good health. He offers practical suggestions for preventing this condition.

Find an Alternative Healthcare Professional
Looking for a practitioner specializing in a mind/body approach? Search the Mind Body Health section includes the Academy for Guided Imagery, American Society for the Alexander Technique, and Focusing Institute member databases in HealthWorld's Find a Practitioner Network. The network contains searchable directories with over 17,000 professionals from 20 leading professional associations in complementary/alternative and integrative medicine.

Healthy Bookstore - Soul Medicine

The cutting edge of medicine today is not to be found in invasive therapies like drugs and surgeries. It is in the disciplines that used to be regarded as "soft" medicine: prayer, intention, energy healing, acupressure, and similar therapies. Overwhelming evidence from hundreds of scientific studies are showing that these safe, non-invasive approaches are often more effective, sometimes many times more effective, than conventional medicine. In "Soul Medicine: Awakening Your Inner Blueprint for Abundant Health and Energy" by C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. and Dawson Church, Ph.D explains the fundamentals of energy medicine, its many applications to common ailments, and the latest scientific research.

Raw Food Materia Medica
Raspberries are members of the rose family in which apples, peaches, plums and strawberries are also included. Raspberries are known for their high content of Vitamin C and potassium. In Chinese medicine, raspberries are regarded as a tonic for the kidneys and liver. They help to build the blood, hence are good for anemia. Raspberries are cleansing and have been used as a traditional medicine for diarrhea, frequent urination, impotence, high blood pressure, parasites, excess menstrual bleeding and rheumatism. Raspberries are very alkaline and help to improve mucous conditions such as catarrh. Antiviral properties have been discovered in the raspberry.

Fabulous Functional Foods
Often people only use the juice and the outermost layer of the rind from lemons. With "Preserved Lemon Rind or Everything From Lemons" Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan gives us a way to use almost the whole lemon and thus gain full advantage of all the culinary and health promoting qualities lemons have to offer. With this recipe, you'll get preserved lemon rind, similar to that eaten with tagine in North Africa and the Middle East, lemon stock, and cider-lemon vinegar, as well as fresh lemon juice.

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.

Echoes of Silence
Within each of us is a ray of light, streaming toward us from within our own depth of original being. When this light finds and penetrates our heart, we stand in that perfect moment on the true path of our life. This true path is what we are each looking for in everything we do and everything we pursue. In "Finding Our Way" Robert Rabbin talks about those who follow the path and those who turn away.

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.
