Whole grains stressed in new dietary guidelines
"Whole grains tend to cause a slower rise in blood sugars than refined grains. Some studies suggest that this may help maintain normal insulin levels, helping to control and perhaps even prevent diabetes. A new food pyramid from a Harvard nutrition researcher sharply distinguishes whole grains from refined grains - placing whole grains in the large section at the bottom of the pyramid, and refined grains at the top, along with red meat and butter, to use "sparingly."

Vitamin E and Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS)
"Lou Gehrig's disease, technically known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a nerve disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness. It usually begins with weakness in the hands or feet, which then spreads to the rest of the body. Affected muscles become spastic (tight and prone to spasm) and ineffective. As the weakness spreads, speaking, breathing, and swallowing become difficult. ALS is always fatal, and most people die within 3 years of being diagnosed.  The cause of ALS is unknown and there is no cure for the disorder. A number of alternative treatments have been tried, with mixed results. These include BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids), creatine, vitamin B12, CoQ10, genistein, and guanidine.
A recent study evaluated the potential benefits of vitamin E for ALS. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant, capable of fighting dangerous natural substances known as
free radicals. It has been hypothesized that free radicals might play a role in ALS,
and that, therefore, antioxidants might slow the progression of the disease."

Got Soda? Why Kids Drink Less Milk
".by avoiding milk, perhaps the richest source of calcium in the American diet, they are setting themselves up for osteoporosis and bone fractures long before that disease would otherwise show up. It's a public health problem in the making. A panel of experts convened by the National Institutes of Health concluded that nine out of 10 girls and three out of four boys ages 9 to 17 do not get enough calcium. Nor do they get enough vitamin D that helps them absorb what little calcium does creep into their diets. "It will be an epidemic when 90% of the girls develop fractures in their 50s, 60s and 70s rather than their 80s and 90s," says Dr. William Russell, a pediatric endocrinologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and a member of the NIH panel. Unlike most epidemics, however, this one is largely preventable."

"Antibiotic demands appear to be highest in areas where recent terrorist events have occurred or are alleged. In Florida, where three people to date have tested positive for anthrax and one has died, physicians and pharmacies are deluged with
requests for antibiotics. In highest demand is Cipro, a powerful antibiotic used to treat anthrax."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIBROMYALGIA - ".What is known is that there is a deficient amount of magnesium in the body and an inability to absorb magnesium. The diet should have magnesium intake increased. Magnesium sources are fish, apples, apricots, avocadoes, nuts, brown rice, soybeans, bananas, kelp, black eyed peas, figs, grapefruit, peaches. A lot of herbs are high in magnesium like alfalfa,  bladderwrack, catnip, chickweed, dandelion, horsetail, peppermint.  Another deficiency found in the Fibromyalgia victim is the lack of Maltic Acid. This can be found in fresh apples or in a supplement form. Did you notice that apples have magnesium and maltic acid? An apple a day?....."

IMMUNITY - "Besides diet and lifestyle, there are other factors that determine your immunity quotient. These include your heredity, the season of the year and your age. It is even possible to develop an established level of immunity that remains stable throughout all the ups and downs of life. The chart below explains these three levels of immunity.

Three Levels of Immunity 1) Hereditary (Sahaj)--the innate level of immunity,
which you are born with.

2) Seasonal (Kalaj)--fluctuating levels of immunity due to the change of seasons,
different stages of life, and planetary cycles.

3) Established (Yuktikrit)--a balanced, permanent level of immunity that can be
realized by following an ayurvedic diet and lifestyle. This type of immunity can be "planned" using dietary and lifestyle principles and herbal preparations.

COMBATING POST TRAUMATIC STRESS - ".First and foremost is to become informed. You should know why you are having flashbacks, unusual emotions and  unexplained autonomic responses. These symptoms are natural reactions to trauma. The conscious mind is not innately aware of how or why the unconscious mind reacts to trauma in order to maintain control of our being. If our conscious mind over reacts to the symptoms of trauma we risk making it worse and may become depressed."

*** BOOK REVIEW- Inside Chiropractic : A Patient's Guide  by Samuel Homola, Stephen Barrett (Editor)***
 
 
"A practical guide that explores the facts and falsehoods of chiropractic. Following a brief history of chiropractic, Homola (a practicing chiropractor for 43 years) probes into the theories and methods of its practitioners. He shows that, despite claims to the contrary, chiropractors do not qualify as primary-care physicians. He analyzes patient-education materials, gives self-examination tips to help consumers with back pain to decide if and when to see a chiropractor, and analyzes questionable techniques used to attract and treat patients. Contains many b&w drawings." -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved
