Prescriptions for the Soul - "Prescription #12: Black Holes of Renewal" - Bernie Siegel, MD
When we need to find our energy and source, the place to look is in the darkness. It is in the black holes that the energy of creation lives. Whether we are speaking of the universe or of an individual, darkness is the source of life. When facing emotional despair, hopelessness, or physical anguish, going into the darkness helps us to find our self and renew our life.

From Fatigued to Fantastic - "Inflammation - Natural Therapies" - Jacob Teitelbaum, MD
Inflammation is your body''''s response to what it perceives to be an outside invader or irritant. When caused by infections, the inflammation can sometimes be rather obvious as occurs with pneumonia. Other times, it can be very subtle. If you have excess inflammation, your body can often repair the damage over time, according to Jacob Teitelbaum, MD in "Inflammation - Natural Therapies". This means decreasing sugar and simple carbohydrates (keep chocolate but make it sugar free), increasing protein and healthy oils (e.g. fish, olive, nuts), and getting optimal nutritional support.

Integrator Blog - "Invited Commentary on the NCCAM Survey: Stephen Bolles, DC asks if the CAM Industry is Mature, Immature or Simply Misunderstood"
"I''''m beginning to wonder if some new model of looking at the CAM/integrative health care markets may be required." So writes Stephen Bolles, DC, in this thoughtful reflection on the controversial NCCAM survey which concluded that the visits to CAM practitioners may have dropped 50% between 1997 and 2007. Bolles, who spent many years looking at the consumer and CAM from inside the leadership of a consumer division of United Health Group, writes: "To me (the NCCAM report) is kind of like an eloquent and detailed answer to a problem that hasn''''t been defined." This invited column touches on the "seduction" of the dollars projected in the first Eisenberg study then presents ideas about how to think about the CAM consumer, the CAM industry, and how to create a successful business with the CAM-using clientele.

Omega-3 Cuisine - "Eat What You Love and Health Will Follow" Alan Roettinger
That’s ridiculous, right? What if I love charred fatty meat, fried potatoes and cheesecake—how will that make me healthy? Ah, but I’m talking about true love, lasting love, love that nurtures and protects. Love is a two-way street. You cannot love truly unless the one you love also loves you—for patient and forgiving as love can be, it must be requited or it withers. Unless the circle is complete, what begins as love will end in bitter disappointment. So what’s love got to do with food?
