Simply Well
Humans are image-making creatures. In "Put Yourself in the Picture of Health" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., explains how images create emotional states that affect brain chemistry, and brain chemistry will depress or strengthen every system in your body, including your immune system. No wonder visualization is such a powerful tool for personal wellness.

Healthy Sexuality
As they age, most men experience a host of sexual performance problems, such as a longer time to achieve erection, lower sex drive and stamina, inadequate sensation and unsatisfactory orgasm. This decline in sexual performance can be naturally remedied. In "Aging & Men's Sexual Performance" Alex Santoso, Ph.D. addresses reversing the effect of aging on sexual performance.

From Fatigued to Fantastic
In "Q and A on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia with Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. - #8" Dr. Teitelbaum explains how stresses can suppress the hypothalamus. He goes on to detail what happens when this happens and how this relates to CFS/FMS.

Healthy Alternatives
Osteopathy is a system of health care which recognizes that the self-healing, self-regulating ability of the body is dependent upon a number of factors, including favorable environmental conditions (internal and external), adequate nutrition and normal structural integrity. In "What is Osteopathy?" Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O., M.R.O. covers the concept of osteopathy and the distinction between osteopathic and other forms of physical treatment.

Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
In "Breast Health Tip #12: Exercise" Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S explains why if you exercise regularly during your teen years your risk of breast cancer will be 30% lower for the rest of your life. But it is never too late to begin exercising. If you start regularly participating in invigorating movements as an adult and keep it up, you can drop your risk of breast cancer by 30-50%.  

Healthy Child
Is it A.D.D., A.D.H.D, Executive Syndrome, or dyslexia? In "Academic Difficulties: Dyslexia, A.D.D?" Viola Frymann, D.O., F.A.A.O., F.C.A. says only by looking in the past may we begin to understand the present, and develop a strategy to enhance the future. With a multi-disciplinary approach very gratifying changes may occur without the use of the standard stimulant medications, and a child will be on the way to achieving optimal well-being and performance.

Healthy Bookstore - The Good Sleep Guide

In "The Good Sleep Guide: 10 Steps to Better Sleep and How to Break the Worry Cycle," based on his own research, Timothy J. Sharp addresses lifestyle issues as well as physical and psychological problems that interfere with sleep. These include diet, medication, alcohol, and caffeine, as well as depression, anxiety, and personal problems. He offers a commonsense approach that includes specific relaxation techniques and tips on establishing a good sleep routine.

Nutrition Tips
In "Autumn 4-Day Menu Plan" Elson M. Haas, M.D. states that autumn gives us richer and denser foods that require more heat to prepare; these include whole grains, dried legumes, and hard squashes. Thus, there are more cooked foods, more calories, fats, and protein, less liquids, and often a few added pounds. Regular exercise, including stretching to maintain or improve flexibility, is also important during this more contractive time.

There's a Yogi in the Kitchen!
"Eating for a Healthy Liver" by Siri-Ved Kaur Khalsa is for those looking for a way to give themselves a "Liver Tune-Up." There are different ways you can approach this, depending on what best suits you, your current health situation, and lifestyle. This could be anything from making simple changes in your current eating habits to going on an extended diet of specific foods.

Mind/Body Health
When was the last time you laughed really hard - a hearty, sidesplitting belly laugh that suddenly grabbed you and sent you reeling out of control? Or you laughed so hard that you forgot what triggered it, leaving you laughing without reason? Modern science is beginning to confirm that this kind of laughter is not only enjoyable, it's also health-promoting, reports Dr. David Sobel in "Good Humor, Good Health." Laughter is an invigorating tonic that heightens and brightens mood, gently releasing us from tensions and social constraints. Dr. Sobel brings us up to date on what the research on humor shows and how we can use humor to stay healthy.

Music and Wellness
The magical, sacred drum has extraordinary power to touch something deep and powerful within all. The sounds awaken our spirits and speak to our most primal and truest selves. In "The Healing Power of the Drum - Part II: Drumming and Parkinson's Disease" Robert Lawrence Friedman relates how patients with trouble initiating movement found the rhythms helped them get started.
