Is Treated Sewage Effluent Sprayed On Lettuce & Spinach Farms Partly To Blame For E.Coli Outbreak?
Could the use of treated sewage to irrigate 12,000 acres of high quality vegetables including leafy green spinach and lettuce be a significant source of the E. coli bacteria problem? This type of irrigation had never been done before in the United States on vulnerable soft tissue vegetables such as lettuce or spinach. These are particularly vulnerable crops to E. coli pathogens anyway because of the soft cellular tissue and the fact that they are typically consumed raw.

Painkillers: Merck Is Back With Another 'Safe' Drug
The company currently fighting a civil action suit over its COX-2 painkiller Vioxx, which is being blamed for causing heart failure, is pressing for approval of another painkiller, Arcoxia. Its clinical trials suggest the drug is as safe as diclofenac, another painkiller, and didn’t increase the risk of heart failure. However the study protocal used is considered by some to be "well-known to be especially poor at identifying safety risks between drugs, thereby stacking the deck in favour of its drug."

Spinach E. Coli 0157 Food Poisoning Linked To Cattle Feedlot
Samples of cattle manure on pastures surrounding a spinach field have tested positive for the same strain of E. coli bacteria. The pasture is part of an unidentified beef cattle ranch that also leases its fields to spinach growers. Fences on the cattle operation had been penetrated by wild pigs, and disease detectives are trying to determine if feral swine might have played a role in spreading the bacteria from pasture to spinach field.

SIDE-EFFECTS - A SMART & SEXY COMEDY

"Side Effects", based on filmmaker Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau's decade of experience as a drug sales rep, gives an insider's view of the the pill-pushing tactics of the pharmaceutical industry's leading companies.

Karly Hert (Katherine Heigl) has spent the last ten years selling drugs... legally, that is. She works for one of corporate America's darlings, the pharmaceutical industry. Karly has it all - a big salary, a company car, a closet full of hot business suits and a growing pit in her stomach...

Everything changes when she meets sexy Zach Danner (Lucian McAfee), a down-to-earth guy. Sparks fly! As their relationship heats up, he encourages Karly to walk her talk and leave her empty job. Karly devises a plan to get out - she begins being brutally honest with physicians about her drugs' "benefits." Ironically, her sales go through the roof and she is once again wooed by the

seductive golden handcuffs. Somehow leaving is never quite as easy as it seems...

SIDE EFFECTS stars Grey's Anatomy's hottest intern, Katherine Heigl - it's the perfect prescription for a new comedy!

We highly recommend this film and its companion documentary, "Money Talks" which exposes the focus on profits or patient safety in today's pharmaceutical industry. Now available on DVD. To learn more, go towww.sideeffectsthemovie.com/home.shtml

Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing
We all have a choice about our health. In "Step One of Intuitive Healing: Notice Your Beliefs" Judith Orloff, M.D. reminds us that our mind and body are linked by an intricate intuitive circuitry. Notice the pattern of any recurring beliefs or emotions that occur before an illness. They may well be premonitions. We need to be aware of our thinking, notice when fear takes over, and begin to reprogram our thoughts.

Integrative Dentistry
Treatment of cancer, whether with chemotherapy or radiation, can affect the oral tissues in a significant manner. In "Cancer Therapy and Oral Complications" Flora Parsa Stay D.D.S. explains how mouthwash and toothpaste containing xylitol (from birch tree) will help prevent decay.

Healthy Alternatives
A naturopathic medicine practice includes a variety of diagnostic and treatment modalities. In "Naturopathic Therapeutics" the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians explains what these are and how the individual needs of each patient determines which ones are selected for that patient.

Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
Eating just a clove or two of garlic a week can significantly lower your risk of breast cancer.  In "Breast Health Tip #13: Garlic" Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S details the ways that garlic helps to protect against and fight breast cancer - and other diseases.

Healthy Man Update
The Journal of the American Medical Association published a comprehensive review article regarding the herbal therapy of benign prostate enlargement. This condition is common in men aged 50 and older. The enlarged prostate leads to frequent urination and nighttime awakenings. Standard therapy has been the use of a medicine called finasteride which helps to shrink the prostate, reports Dr. Sahelian in "Study: Saw Palmetto Herb Effective for Enlarged Prostate." A review of the results of 18 studies totaling 2,939 men showed that those who received saw palmetto were twice as likely to have improved urinary symptoms compared to those on placebo.

Healthy Bookstore - The Promise of Energy Psychology

"The Promise of Energy Psychology" David Feinstein explains how to tap into your body's energy. It not only changes your health, but changes your behaviors and thought patterns as well. With this strategy, stubborn phobias often fade in minutes; the lifelong effects of an early trauma can frequently be reduced or completely eliminated; uncontrollable anger can rapidly become manageable; even elusive physical problems may respond where other treatments have failed.

Nutrition Tips
Nuts are one of nature's richest foods and have good-quality protein. For vegetarians nuts may be the most concentrated food they eat. In "Nuts" Elson M. Haas, M.D. provides a condensed overview of nutritional value and other important information on almonds, hazelnuts, brazil nuts, peanuts, cashews, pecans, chestnuts, pistachios, coconuts and walnuts.

Fabulous Functional Foods
Danish chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan has created a lovely "Garlic, Miso and Parsley Soup" that will do as a small meal or as an appetizer. It goes very well with steamed fish or dense bread made from whole flour, and can also be served cold. Garlic, chili, and fennel seeds bring warmth to the soup and your body, making it perfect for cold fall and winter days.

The Healer Within
Slow, non-intense, daily practice of moderate exercise, as it has been done in China through Qigong and in India through Yoga for centuries, is now emerging, with scientific authorization as the fitness enhancement practice of choice, according to Dr. Roger Jahnke in "Gentle Movements and Postures, Part I." When we look to how the Asian traditions have refined this idea over time, the unwell, the bedridden, those limited to wheel chairs, elders and even the partially paralyzed can derive significant fitness building through moderate self-applied practices of Qigong and Yoga.

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? 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.

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.
