New Mexico Legislators Demand Aspartame Withdrawal
Eleven legislators in New Mexico have asked President Bush, the FDA chief,
and the US Health Secretary, to override and cancel the previous approval
of Aspartame, a controversial artificial sweetener that was approved over
the resistance of FDA scientists. The legislators cited the tendency of
aspartame to be metabolized into methanol and formaldehyde, both highly
toxic to humans. Additionally, when Aspartame is heated, it turns into a
brain tumor-causing agent called diketopiperazine.
Congress Considers Important Health Privacy Legislation
Although the likelihood of Congress passing health-care bills remains
uncertain, health-care legislation may be addressed when Congress returns
after the November elections. Thus, citizens who care about their health
privacy should voice their own opinions to their members of Congress - and
soon. Health privacy supporters list principles that need to be upheld or
the legislation will not guarantee true health privacy.
Scientists To Study Whether GE Foods Can Cause Food Allergies
Genetically engineered crops are created by inserting a protein from a
different organism into the genome of a food crop, such as corn or
soybeans. This protein may have never been in the food supply before, and
could potentially cause food allergies. To date, there have been no
definitive tests to determine if GE crops do cause food allergies. However,
scientists at Michigan State University are confident they can develop such
a test, and they’ve received $447,000 from the US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to validate the test.

WELLNESS and
HEALTHY LIVING
CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on SENSING, the third of 12 keys to wellness
in the Wellness Inventory. It is through the senses--seeing, touching,
smelling, hearing, tasting--that we come to know and enjoy the world. Our
abilities to work, to feel pleasure, to communicate with others, and to
impact the world are directly related to our abilities to appreciate and
use our sensory input efficiently and creatively.
Simply Well
Wellness is realized by being present and unburdening yourself of all that
prevents a natural state of basic healthiness. In "Become a
Beginner--Simplify" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., explains why being well
involves becoming more simple. He offers suggestions to get you thinking
and moving like a beginner.
Staying Healthly Tips
The introspective nature of winter provides an excellent opportunity for
greater reflection and self-assessment. In "10 Tips for Winter Health &
Stress Reducers" Elson M. Haas, M.D. invites you to take an honest look at
where you are and offers you a series of tips appropriate for the winter
months. These tips can bring you full circle to the idea of conserving
energy at the end of winter, in preparation for the rebirth of spring.
SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE - ADVERTISEMENT
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.
NATURAL
ALTERNATIVES
From Fatigued to Fantastic
Although there is no test that is needed to diagnose Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, there are many tests that can be helpful in
determining what treatments are need. In "Q and A on Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome and Fibromyalgia with Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D. - #9" Dr. Teitelbaum
lists key tests for an initial evaluation of all CFS/FMS patients.
Healthy Alternatives
It ancient times it was said that, when a person is sick, the doctor should
first regulate the patient's diet and lifestyle. In most cases, these
changes alone are enough to effect a cure over time. In "Diet And
Lifestyle: The Basics Of Good Health" Robert Flaws, O.M.D. points out that
even today without appropriate changes in diet and lifestyle treatment
programs will not achieve their full and lasting effect.
Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
In "Breast Health Tip #14: Avoid Alcohol" Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S
advised you to avoid alcohol and drink “health-promoting drinks” like
organic fruit juices, green tea, and purified water instead. Why?
Researchers have found one drink a day can increase your risk of breast
cancer by 11%; two drinks a day by 22 to 40%; and three drinks a day by 33
to 70%. Your body has an amazing capacity to heal. The moment you drop
unhealthy habits and adopt healthy ones, your body will begin repairing
itself. Enjoy your holidays – and at the same time honor your health.
Healthy Child
Constipation is not usually serious. In "Childhood Constipation" the
American Institute for Preventive Medicine helps parents by explaining why
constipation might occur and how to determine whether or not it is a matter
for concern.

READING
Healthy Bookstore - The Key
In "The Key: Unlock Your Psychic Abilities" Echo Bodine helped readers
understand and develop their psychic abilities. Here, she expands the
material into a step-by-step course that strengthens and refines
clairvoyance, clairaudience, and other psychic abilities that can be used
to achieve healing, clarity, and guidance. In simple, accessible lessons,
she covers what it means to be psychic; how to develop intuition and
psychic skills and how to know the difference between them; how to
interpret messages received; staying grounded and respecting boundaries;
protecting oneself and others during psychic practice; and much more.

Nutrition Tips
You normally think of using seasonings to enhance the flavor of food. In
"Seasonings" Elson M. Haas, M.D. explains how many herbs and spices can be
used for medicinal purposes, such as stimulating the appetite or aiding
digestion. He details salt, extracts, peppers, condiments, herbs and
spices, and sweeteners.
Fabulous Functional Foods
Chef Oscar Umahro Cadogan of Denmark offers us another Fabulous Functional
Foods recipe. "Aromatic Carrots and Beets" is a whole new approach to
vegetables. The spicy oil enhances the natural sweetness that has been
teased out of the carrots and the beets by gentle roasting in the oven.
This dish goes very well with gently braised lamb or goat or seared fresh
tunafish.

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT
Mind/Body Health
Imagine the world without pleasure. Life would appear colorless and
humorless. Human beings evolved to seek enjoyment to enhance survival. Yet,
at nearly every turn pleasure has gotten a bad name. People are almost
phobic about having fun. In "Healthy Pleasures" David S. Sobel, M.D.
reminds us that worrying too much about anything - including calories,
salt, cancer, and cholesterol - can rob our life of vitality, and that
living optimistically, with pleasure, zest, and commitment enriches if not
lengthens life.
Wholistic Spiritual Healing
Intuition is a gift, much like drawing or playing the piano. In "Intuition
(Part 5 of 5 Parts)" Daniel J. Benor, M.D. notes there are may ways to
access intuitive information. These include reading the aura, hearing
words, using smell or taste, "seeing" mental images, and interpreting
dreams.
