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


A Candy and a Cure
"Licorice remains one of today's most extensively used and scientifically investigated herbal substances.  In 1946, a Dutch pharmacist published a report on its effectiveness with ulcers, and research comparing the herb with medicines like Tagament continues in Europe. Licorice has been shown to soothe bowel and kidney irritations, cleanse the colon, and strengthen the liver. It provides a mild laxative effect and expels mucous from the lungs, making it helpful in the treatment of bronchitis, laryngitis, and sore throats-especially when taken as a tea."

Ginseng for Chronic Bronchitis: A Study That Shows Nothing
"The herb ginseng (Panax ginseng) is said to be an adaptogen. This term refers to a hypothetical treatment described as follows: An adaptogen should help the body adapt to stresses of various kinds, whether heat, cold, exertion, trauma, sleep deprivation, toxic exposure, radiation, infection, or psychological stress. Furthermore, an adaptogen should cause no side effects, be effective in treating a
wide variety of illnesses, and help return an organism toward balance no matter
what may have gone wrong."

Study Shows Low-Sodium Diet Can Decrease Blood Pressure as Effectively as Some Medications
"A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology says that women who limit their salt intake can substantially lower their blood pressure.  In fact, the study, which looked at the health benefits of a low-sodium diet for postmenopausal women, showed that some women's blood pressure decreased by 16 points -- as much as would be expected from some blood pressure-lowering medications."

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

ARTHRITIS - "Good Nutrition Can Help.When I developed arthritis, my knees were weak, sore and opening my car door became impossible because of my thumb joints. It was a constant hurt and throbbing. I started researching alternative means of therapy. Through my studies, I discovered meat and dairy were the two main culprits, as far as nutrition. So, out went the meat and dairy from my diet.
What happened? Within in one week, my arthritis was completely gone. I was pain free!"

http://www.CHETDAY.COM/arthritis.htm


ASTHMA - "When you experience an asthma attack, the walls of the lungs become inflamed and the mucus membranes fill with fluid and thick, sticky
mucus making it difficult to breathe. Common asthma symptoms are a scratchy throat, coughing, shortness of  breath, wheezing, and a tight feeling in the chest. An asthma attack can be mild, moderate or severe and lasting for a few minutes, hours, or even several days. Knowing when to get emergency help for a severe attack can save your life. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, if you are experiencing the following, you should seek immediate medical attention:
medication does not seem to be helping you,
extreme difficulty breathing, talking and walking,  
your fingernails or lips are turning blue,
chest feels tight and your ribs are pulled inward as you breathe,
nostrils are flaring when you breath."

SLEEP - "If you are having sleep problems, whether you are not able to fall
asleep, wake up too often, don't feel well-rested when you wake up in the morning, or simply want to improve the quality and quantity of your sleep, try as many of the following techniques below as possible to get a good night's sleep:
1.  To get a good night's sleep, avoid before-bed snacks, particularly grains and sugars. This will raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep. Later, when blood sugar drops too low (hypoglycemia), you might wake up and not be able to fall
back asleep.

2.  Sleep in complete darkness or as close as possible. When light hits the eyes, it disrupts the circadian rhythm of the pineal gland and production of melatonin and seratonin. There also should be as little light in the bathroom as possible if you get up in the middle of the night..

Research Confirms Success Of Herb For Diabetes Control
Beta Fast Glucose Balance Offers Herbal Alternative

Chicago, October 30, 2001 - In the first test of its kind in the US,
Diabetes In Control.com has announced positive results of a controlled
clinical trial on diabetics using Beta Fast® GXR® Glucose Balance, an
extended release herbal dietary supplement. The trial investigated the
glucose lowering effects by supplementing the diet with Beta Fast, thereby
reducing HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin), a key measurement in diabetes
management representing a 90-day average of blood sugar readings.

Of 65 patients tested over the 90-day trial, Beta Fast reduced mean fasting
glucose levels by 11 percent. Average post meal glucose levels showed a
decline of 13 percent and HbA1c's dropped 6.8 percent (.6 point decline). In
a subset of patients with the poorest control, results were more
substantial. Pre-meal readings averaged an 18 percent decline, with post
meal levels reduced by 28 percent. Corresponding HbA1c's declined 10 percent
(1.1 actual points). Improved glucose control with Beta Fast enabled 16
percent of the participants to decrease their prescription medication usage.

With over 18,000 members, Diabetes In Control.com is one of the nation's
largest organizations of diabetes health professionals. Members include
diabetes educators, pharmacists, nurses, physicians and dieticians. The firm
develops clinical protocols for testing diabetes related products,
subsequently offering them for free to their members' patients. Members then
enroll their patients in the studies, promoting patient involvement and as a
result, improved diabetes care.

The American Diabetes Association estimates that this year alone over
180,000 people will die from diabetes and over 800,000 new cases will be
diagnosed.  A chronic disease without a cure, diabetes is the nation's
seventh leading cause of death.  If not controlled daily by insulin
injections or oral medications, diabetes can lead to limb amputations,
impotence, kidney failure, cardiovascular disease and blindness.

Informulab, maker of Beta Fast, markets the product to assist in the
maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels in diabetics. The product is the
subject of two other clinical trials now underway at Creighton University in
Omaha, NE.  Sold online at <http://www.informulab.com> and in over 3000
pharmacies nationwide, Beta Fast helps the body by balancing sugar levels,
reducing sweetness cravings, and promoting healthy pancreatic function.
Informulab is owned by Wen-Cin Marketing, Inc., publisher of
<http://www.alternativediabetes.com>, a 1500 page web resource on
complementary and alternative therapies in diabetes care.

PRESS CONTACT: For more information or to set up an interview with the
company, contact Informulab President David Goldberg, at
<david@informulab.com> or by calling (402) 384-9952. Patients are advised to
consult their physicians before taking Beta Fast.
