*** TOP NATURAL HEALTH NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK ***

Prescription Drugs Versus Herbal Remedies for Menopause Problems
"Clinical studies have shown that black cohosh can relieve menopausal symptoms without estrogenic action. Experts recommend 40 milligrams of a standardized extract (such as Remifemin) twice a day. Naturopathic physicians sometimes add St. John's wort or kava to the regimen. German researchers have shown kava helps with sleep problems and irritability associated with menopause."

Cold and Flu Prevention For Children
"These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This information is not intended to diagnose, cure, prevent or treat any disease.
It is only a matter of time before the kids will be exposed to colds and flu at school.   You can take some natural steps not only towards prevention but will also help lessen the symptoms if they just can not avoid catching a bug.  The  foundation of any good herbal program is the correct nutrition. Excess fat and sugar can lower the immune systems ability to fight.  Try to make some easy changes to moderate the intake of fat and sugar.  Whole nutritious foods along with the appropriate vitamins and minerals will build a solid foundation for herbs to work more effectively.  Right when cold and flu season starts, you can start your child on small, regulated doses of echinacea.  Echinacea should not be taken continually however it is excellent for jump starting the immune system right when you suspect your child has been exposed, or at the first sign of symptoms. Add garlic in food or use oil in capsules.  Cleavers and nettle tonics will help
increase the response of the immune system."

A fatter chance for diet
Don't fear all plant oils; some can be a boon for active people
"Here's the main message. Not all oils--or fats--are bad. In fact, some plant oils are quite positive for your health, especially the heart. The leading choices are olive and flax oils, followed by canola oil for cooking. Anyone who is physically active makes an ideal candidate for adding these "good" oils to daily meals."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEDICAL INTUITION - "Medical Intuition is a science, where the practitioner, using a highly developed sense of intuition, "looks" into the body, evaluating it on energetic levels. According to Medical Intuitives, we, as humans, are more than just a physical body. Instead, we are made up of a vast array of interconnecting energies and energetic fields, with physical diseases appearing as an external manifestation of disturbances to these energetic fields. A Medical Intuitive easily
detects these disturbances."

HEART DISEASE - "Certain types of bioflavonoids have been found to significantly surpass other known antioxidants in their ability to scavenge free radicals. One group of bioflavonoids, specifically known as proanthocyanidins, have extraordinary anti-oxidant capabilities.  Studies have shown that  leucoanthocanins derived from grape seed are practically devoid of any oral toxicity. Even extremely high doses administered over sustained periods of time showed no toxicity or side effects. Grape seed extracted proanthocyanidins have been shown  to be safe for conception, pregnant women and the unborn fetus."

MENOPAUSE - "Menopause management begins with the onset of menarche when a woman is 12 and persists across her developmental lifespan. What this means is that every
reproductive and health choice a woman makes influences what her menopause
will be. As a practical matter, the way in which a woman's menstruation cycles
begin, and how that beginning is managed, determines what her reproductive
choices, hormonal choices, and relationship choices across a lifespan will be. And
fundamentally, how a woman learns in adolescence to approach her body, her
wellness, her health, her spirituality, and the risk-taking behaviors she has, what
she exposes herself to or protects herself from, what options she exercises to
nourish and enrich in herself in terms of mind, body, and spirit, ultimately
determines what her menopause will be."

*** BOOK REVIEW:   The New York Times Guide to Alternative Health
by Jane E. Brody (Editor), Denise Grady (Editor) ***
------------------------------------------------

"Self-healing can be a long journey--one that starts with having to wade through miles of misinformation and flavor-of-the-week hype. In an attempt to help sort out the hodgepodge of material on various methods of improving your health, Jane Brody and Denise Grady have assembled a book filled with carefully analyzed articles written by themselves and the reporters of The New York  Times. Insightful and informative, The New York Times Guide to Alternative Health doesn't present a specific how-to plan for anyone; rather, it provides readers with a practical reference tool for everything from herbs to homeopathy.

The chapters are divided into general categories, most of which involve items that are ingested. Herbs, foods, minerals, vitamins, combination supplements... the list seems endless. Remaining chapters are devoted to a variety of more physical remedies like tai chi, acupuncture, massage, and meditation. In every case, you'll find a distinctive newspaper style quite different from the personal--not to say
touchy-feely--format of most alternative health books. After noting the studies and statistics cited, even the hardiest skeptics may decide to add a daily  multivitamin or reconsider hormone replacement therapy.
Some of the writers are the biggest skeptics around; as one says on the topic of vitamin-rich cosmetics, "I've been known to skip the workout and just tone my eyelashes." Whether you're a chronic doubter or have a tendency to believe everything you read, this guide has a deserved spot on the shelf, especially as a
reference for double-checking suggestions from Web sites, well-meaning friends, or other less straightforward sources."

From Library Journal
"Brody, personal health columnist for the New York Times and author of several best-selling health and nutrition books, is here joined by Denise Grady, a science and health reporter for the New York Times, and by other Times reporters to compile a guide that offers facts, theories, and anecdotal evidence related
to several of the most popular alternative therapies, including acupuncture, massage therapy, herbal medicine, and chiropractic."
