Antepartum nausea and vomiting
"Alternative remedies for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy have received the most scientific attention, when compared to other pregnancy-related problems. In addition to acupressure, which was covered in the September issue, vitamin B6 and ginger have both been subjected to clinical trials. Ten to 25 mg of vitamin B6 t.i.d. reduced hyperemesis and appeared better than placebo. Ginger (Ziniberis officinale) has been taken as a capsule, tea, or soft drink and was noted to reduce nausea and motion sickness. Even though ginger has been used by a large number of gravidas and has a long history of use in Chinese medicine, the German Commission E monographs-an exhaustive review of herbal medicines published by Germany's approximate equivalent of the FDA-do not endorse its use during pregnancy.7 Ginger tea would contain the smallest amount of the herb and thus would most likely be the safest form of the herb."

Pulsed magnetic field treatment
Pulsed magnetic field treatment, or bioelectromagnetism, is currently considered a frontier medicine by the National Institute of Health.  Original research from Cornell University concluded extremely low frequency magnetic fields are safe and effective for treating patients with chronic knee pain due to Osteoarthritis (Alternative Therapy Health Med. 2001; Sept./Oct.: 54-69).   To review the results of a successful randomize double blind study concluding pain reduction and improvement of functions in cases of Osteoarthritis, go to: http://www.quantronmedicine.com/frameset_newsletter.html
This study utilized the Quantron Resonance System (QRS) at the General Hospital, Maribor/Slovenia.


Cholesterol-Lowering Medications Plus Antioxidants:  Unexpected Consequences
"Physicians frequently combine drugs in hopes that their individual benefits will
 add to produce a greater overall benefit. Generally, this method works well.
 However, sometimes drugs with the same therapeutic intent can interfere with
 each other rather than combining favorably."

Pregnancy weight gain may predict later obesity
" For many women, the battle of the bulge may reach its zenith during pregnancy and after childbirth, but it may not stop there. New study findings show that if
women retain the weight gained during pregnancy for even a year after childbirth, they are more likely to remain overweight or obese for at least another year, researchers report."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

WEIGHT - "Have you lost weight, but gained it right back again?   Do you want to lose weight, but nothing works. You've tried this, you've tried that. You've tried everything. NOTHING worked long term. *** TIP *** Well, you know what? You haven't tried *everything.* You haven't, or you would have results. It's that simple. So please don't tell your brain you've tried *everything.* Because that gives your brain no alternative. If it knows you've tried *everything* and nothing has worked, then it stops looking for ways to lose weight. It just gives up. Do you want that? *** On the up side, would you like to know how you can make a lasting change?"

GOOD MOOD- "Being in a good mood is not difficult. It does take a little work, and it also takes responsibility. Because it's better to be happy than upset, putting yourself in a good mood is definitely worth it.   Even the happiest of people find themselves in a bad mood now and then. Others unfortunately may find themselves in low spirits more often than not. The following tips can help both types of people create a better mood each day."
(To read the complete article entitled:  5 Steps to a Positive Attitude  by Jason Gracia, go to)
http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Gracia5.html


ACCEPTANCE - "Acceptance is letting go of the struggle mentality around something. When you struggle about something, you are exerting a lot of effort that can be better put to use. When you struggle, you are so busy fighting and pushing away, that you are unable to see the problem for what it is and find the solution. When you push something away, you deny its existence and therefore you cannot heal it. You cannot heal what you do not experience. Many of you spend years and perhaps lifetimes trying to avoid something, trying to keep something at arms length because of fear. As a result you are keeping yourself at arms length too."

*** BOOK REVIEW - The Balance : Your Personal Prescription for                Super Metabolism, Renewed Vitality, Maximum Health, Instant Rejuvenation
by Oz Garcia, Sharyn Kolberg ***
--------------------------------------------------------
 
Oz Garcia is known in New York City as the nutritionist to see if you want to become full of vitality like his other clients, among them actress Winona Ryder, designer Nicole Miller, and supermodel Yasmeen Ghouri. He wrote The Balance in part because he couldn't keep up with the demand for his consultations.

With a 45-question quiz, Garcia will help you define yourself as a metabolically fast, slow, or mixed burner. While you'd think it'd be beneficial to be a fast burner, Garcia says that's not necessarily so: people who are on the thin, nervous side often pay for their figures with fatigue, depleted mineral stores, moodiness, and an impaired ability to concentrate. On the other hand, more than two-thirds of Americans are slow burners, he says, which means a tendency toward  hyperinsulinemia, insomnia, heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health problems.

Even if you suspect you know what kind of burner you are, Garcia will enlighten you with specific foods, supplements, types of exercise, and lifestyle suggestions to try--including tips for eating out--to help improve your metabolism and overall health. Besides avoiding wheat--the dietary evil he says all types should avoid--the program is remarkably flexible and realistic. There's no calorie counting, and if you're at a social event and go off the program for a night, Garcia says so be it. Just hop back on the program as soon as possible afterwards.

In addition to The Balance's aim of bringing about greater energy, relief from PMS, improved resilience to stress, and a decrease in the frequency of mood swings, Garcia says it even boosts concentration and mental functioning, thereby improving relationships and even making therapy sessions more effective.
While this may sound farfetched, Garcia's followers swear it's a remarkably effective, life-changing program. -
