Healthy Herbs - "Herbal Detoxification" David L. Hoffmann, B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H.
The herbal approach to detoxification is based upon the premise that the human body is a self healing and homeostatic organism. In "Herbal Detoxification" David L. Hoffmann, B.Sc. (Hons), M.N.I.M.H. explains the
body as a wonderfully effective and astoundingly complex mechanism for ridding the body waste and poisons. This can be helped by using basic, simple and safe herbs as long as the eliminative process are addressed as a whole and not just the colon. View more
Dr. Christine Horner's Natural Secrets for Breast Health
Estimates are that every year the average American eats almost his or her entire body weight in sugar. In "Breast Health Tip #21: Avoid Sugar" Christine Horner, M.D., F.A.C.S reports that sugar and refined
carbohydrates cause a surge in insulin and women with the highest insulin levels have a 283% higher incidence of breast cancer. The more sugar you eat, the faster cancer cells grow and the greater the blow to your immune system. View more
Integrator Blog - The "Kabuki Play" of Monied Interests Around the $1.1-Billion Comparative Effectiveness Research Initiative
In this section of a two-part series, Integrator contributor Daphne White, CHTP focuses on the political-economic dynamics behind the $1.1 billion "clinical effectiveness research" (CER) initiative. White examines what she calls the "Kabuki play" - intense dynamics as the medical industry seeks to gut the value of the initiative, while not appearing to do so. Would you assume that this initiative would look at cost or would inform the care people receive? As White points out, Congress appears to already have caved in on key aspects of apparent value. One wonders if CER can be the point of leverage for reform which White House Budget Director Peter Orszag thinks it can be. And if Orszag can't get what he wants out of CER, what might the integrative practice community extract from this big money battle in which maybe we can't, well, talk about money. In the other section, White explores the potential value of CER for the integrative practice community.

The Nut Gourmet - Tangerine Macadamia Dressing
Winter through springtime, when tangerines are in season and at their sweetest and juiciest, is the ideal time to prepare this salad dressing. When available, honey tangerines are a good choice for their ultra-sweetness. Freshly squeezed sweet orange juice makes an excellent substitute and is more readily available throughout the year. Don't rule out tart oranges or tangerines. Both offer great flavor, though they do change the character of the recipe by giving it a sharp pungency. To sweeten, add maple syrup or agave nectar.
