In fact, the drug - often available as an over-the-counter remedy - is responsible for 20 per cent of all drug-related visits to the Accident and Emergency department. Around 142,000 Americans reacted so badly to an antibiotic that they needed hospital care over a two-year period, according to the latest figures.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Dry Winter Skin
Traditional Chinese Medicine understands that the approach to healthy skin in the winter, or any time of the year for that mater - starts from the inside out. Skin care has become a multi-billion dollar industry in the West, yet most of these products contain drugs or harsh chemicals that often do little to improve the root cause of a skin condition, and in some circumstances may actually exacerbate the problem.

Bill Benda, MD, who sits on national organization boards for naturopathic doctors and for holistic MDs would like to put an end, once and for all, to questions about whether medical doctors "own" the term "integrative medicine."

Vegan Global Fusion - "Making the Most of Miso" - Louise Hagler
Healthy Update is proud to introduce a new column "Vegan Global Fusion" by Louise Hagler, a pioneer in creating vegan cuisine with tofu and other soyfoods to satisfy the western palate. Her first column, "Making the Most of Miso," introduces this traditional cultured and fermented food from Asia that contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes to aid digestion, along with other healthful attributes. Miso is a live food that is best purchased unpasteurized, according to Louise. When cooking with miso, it is best to never let it boil, since boiling will destroy the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. She offers a great Cucumber Gazpacho recipe which is excellent for miso since it calls for no cooking at all. View More

Pre-Conference Workshop:
Creating a New Model of Wellness: Focusing on the Whole Person Versus Health Risks
Presenter: James Strohecker, CEO, HealthWorld Online - Publisher, Healthy Update
Our healthcare system tends to define "health" as the absence of illness, and "wellness" as simply the reduction of health risks. This perspective is based on a disease model. Yet, for 60 years the World Health Organization has defined health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This workshop focuses on implementing a new wellness model into the healthcare system that includes employee and physician wellness, professional burnout, as well as clinical applications. This workshop also examines how to create a positive state of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
