Acupuncture cuts post-op sickness
"Acupuncture reduced post-operative pain in the study
Acupuncture reduces patients' vomiting and nausea after major breast surgery at least as effectively as conventional treatment, doctors have found.   Researchers at the Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina found the treatment also
reduced post-operative pain. As many as 70% of women who undergo major
breast surgery suffer significant post-operative nausea and vomiting."

Licorice and Blood Pressure
"The herb licorice contains a substance called glycyrrhizin. When taken in high
enough amounts, glycyrrhizin produces effects similar to the natural hormone aldosterone, causing fluid retention, increased blood pressure, and loss of potassium.  A recent series of studies found evidence that even licorice-containing candy can raise blood pressure.5 In one of these studies, 30 healthy volunteers consumed 100g of licorice candy daily for 4 weeks. The results showed that that after 2 weeks of licorice use, blood pressure levels increased significantly."

annual meeting October 6 and 7 in Orlando, Fla."

Anthrax Germs Turn the Body Against Itself
"The anthrax spore lurks in the soil for months or decades, a patient assassin      waiting for its sleep to be disturbed. One day, perhaps when a grazing cow yanks up a plant by its roots, the tiny spores shake loose and are eaten, or are sniffed into the cow's lungs, or dust its skin with a deadly bloom. Then begins a precise but terrible execution.  The surfaces of animals' bodies, whether lungs, intestines or skin, are ceaselessly patrolled by scavenging cells that engulf foreign matter and alert the immune system. These sentries are the spores' target. The spores let themselves be ingested by the cells, but as the scavenger cell is taking its prisoner to the nearest lymph node for inspection, the spore stirs from its long torpor. It germinates into an anthrax bacterium, and the bacterium divides and replicates."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANXIETY - Is worrying one of your characteristics? Well, stop! It's okay to  worry, but at the right time. Psychologists at the University of Pennsylvania tell patients who suffer from anxiety to regularly do a daily twenty minute "worry session," always at the same time and in the same place. Collect your head full of worries during the day (don't suppress them!) and then pour them out during your daily worry session.
Exaggerate your worries to the point of absurdity -knit your brows, make faces,
let the sweat flow, shake and cower as much as you like. In other words, make a
caricature of the part of yourself that is always worried, and in so doing exorcise
it. Eliminating worry will help prevent numerous psychosomatic illnesses, which
result from living in a state of permanent anxiety.

HERNIA - "When pains or cramp happen in the lower abdominal area, it may be a hernia or other muscle discomfort and weakness. There are about 5 million hernia sufferers in the US, only about 700,000 actively search for treatment, because there is no recognized medication for hernias except hiatus hernia (heart-burns, a stomach problem), and the standard operations are usually painful and sometimes not very effective. Hawthornia is a 100% natural herbal formula well proven in China to be very effective to hernia and other related problems caused by general weakness or over-exercises."

AVOCADOS - "New research indicates that the California avocado, one of nature's functional foods, contains phytochemicals that may help fight chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer. The phytochemical profile of the California avocado includes a cholesterol-lowering phytosterol called beta-sitosterol and the antioxidant glutathione, according to Dr. David Heber, director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. Evidence suggests phytosterol and glutathione may help prevent certain types of cancers and heart disease in humans."
