*** TOP NATURAL HEALTH NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK ***
Melatonin for Individuals with Insomnia and Diabetes
"Melatonin is a natural hormone that regulates sleep. During daylight, the pineal gland in the brain produces an important neurotransmitter called serotonin. (A neurotransmitter is a chemical that relays messages between nerve cells.) But at night, the pineal gland stops producing serotonin and instead makes melatonin. This melatonin release helps trigger sleep. The production of melatonin varies according to the amount of light you're exposed to; for example, your body produces more melatonin in a completely dark room than in a dimly lit one. Melatonin supplements are thought to be helpful for people whose natural sleep cycle has been disturbed, such as travelers suffering from jet lag, although not all studies agree.1-7 Melatonin may be useful for other forms of insomnia as well.8-27."

"The perfect lunch to prevent prostate cancer: a tuna-fish sandwich on multigrain bread, and a handful of Brazil nuts. Tuna, multigrain bread, and Brazil nuts are all rich in selenium, and eating more of this mineral may protect your prostate, says James Brooks, M.D., of  Stanford University. He conducted a 12-year study on 148 men and found that the 52 who developed prostate cancer had the lowest levels of selenium. "The mineral is an essential part of the antioxidant defenses that may prevent cellular damage," says Dr. Brooks. It's safe to take a 200 microgram supplement every day."

High-Fat, Low-Carb Diet Cuts Number Of Kids' Seizures
"Johns Hopkins neurologists report that a rigorously high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet not only  reduces the number of seizures in children with severe seizure disorders, but also keeps the frequency of attacks lower years after the diet is stopped. A paper published in October's Pediatrics by Hopkins pediatric neurologist John Freeman, M.D., and his colleagues shows more than half of the children in a study of the so-called ketogenic diet continued to experience at least a 50 percent
reduction in seizures three to six years after going back on a normal diet."

Natural Sanitizers and Disinfectants
"Cold and flu season is just around the corner.  We become more aware about boosting and strengthening our immune systems constantly striving to find that magic barrier between microbes and ourselves.  This is also a time we should be aware of our living and working environments which come in contact with and harbor harmful bacteria. The store shelves are being stocked with all kinds of household products being labeled at "anti-septic" or "anti-microbial".  They range from household cleaners, dish and laundry soaps to personal soaps and hand gels.  After several years in the food processing industry, I have seen the test results of areas such as counter tops, door knobs and hand rails.  I believe a few extra precautions are worth it in the fight against pathogens."

*** BOOK REVIEW- For Women Only!: Your Guide to Health Empowerment - written by Gary Null, Barbara Seaman ***
-------------------------------------------------


Null and Seaman assert that to "care for one's body, one needs reliable information, but one also needs the confidence--the discernment--to distinguish the reliable and authentic from the sales pitch." The first 600 pages of this 1500-page tome offer alternative practitioner Null's thoughts on  the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of conditions and illnesses, from addiction and arthritis to violence and varicose veins. The remainder is Seaman's history of the women's health movement, featuring selections from many familiar feminist writers. Null's is the traditional section, but readers who have seen his PBS programs will correctly anticipate lists of phytochemicals and other nutritional recommendations. Seaman's "Health Empowerment for Women" starts with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and women shamans, then surveys the battles the women's health movement faced, and examines specific "body parts" in terms of how feminism changed attitudes and behaviors. The section "Still Taking Our Bodies Back" covers
In the first section, Null, a Ph.D. in nutrition and author of dozens of books on health and natural healing, deals with a variety of women's health issues, their causes, symptoms, and alternative treatment solutions. Arranged alphabetically, entries are not limited to ailments, but also include issues such as birth control, pregnancy, and sexual and physical abuse.

The list price for this book $29.95.  To purchase this book from Amazon.com for $20.96 at a 30 % discount, go directly to:
