Acupuncture helps smokers quit
"Acupuncture is a popular treatment for smoking cessation, although there have been
few studies of its effectiveness. Doctors at the University of Oslo have carried out a
trial on 46 smokers, assigning one group to acupuncture using the points linked to
quitting smoking. The other group acted as a control, receiving acupuncture on points not
linked to quitting smoking."

"WHETHER YOU are a vegetarian (don't eat meat) or strict vegan (no dairy products or
eggs either), a well-balanced diet during pregnancy can provide all the nutrients
necessary for both you and your baby - along with the extra 300
calories per day that the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends for all
pregnant women."

Ear Acupuncture for Anxiety
"Traditional acupuncture involves the placement of needles at various points in the
body with the intention of treating or preventing disease. Numerous distinct styles of
acupuncture developed in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam over thousands of years. During
the French occupation of Vietnam in the 1950s, Vietnamese acupuncturists arrived in France
and stimulated interest in the therapy. Subsequently, French investigators developed
a form of acupuncture involvingneedle placement only in the ear. Called auriculotherapy,
auricular acupuncture, or just ear acupuncture, this technique typically uses small tacks
that are retained in the ear for several days."

Supplement Mix Eases Bipolar Symptoms
Not Yet Commercially Available, but Shows the Approach Could Work
"There's new evidence from a small-scale study that dietary supplements may alleviate
the radical, often incapacitating mood shifts of bipolar disorder in some patients. When
researchers tested their multi-ingredient mixture on 14 patients, nearly half were able to
decrease or even discontinue their regular medication.
The report and an accompanying editorial appear in the December issue of
Journal of Clinical Psychiatry."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIRED? - "Even though studies show that most of us have sufficient proteins,
carbohydrates and fats in our diets, we are lacking in vital nutrients. These
nutrients are obtained from plentiful portions of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Or are they? Minerals, are the basic building blocks of life. In fact, our bodies
need a whole range of nutrients, in the balanced form that Nature provides, or should
provide, for healthful well-being." (To read the complete article entitled:
Tired of always feeling Tired? by Lisa van den Berg, go to)
http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Berg1.html
GRIEF - "Loss is an experience that affects us all at various times during our lives.
Our society tends to deal with loss the same way it deals with death and dying - as a
painful event to get over rather than as a natural process that can cause growth and
transformation. Every loss leaves us with an emptiness - an opening inside. This
opening provides a doorway through which we can move forward and begin the journey to the
rest of our lives. That journey, and the effort we make to step through that doorway, are
called grief work."
(To read the complete article entitled:
Grief Work Transformation by Jan Maizler, go to)
http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Maizler1.html
HERBS - "Are herbs "dilute forms of drugs" - and therefore dangerous? Or
are they "natural" - and therefore safe? If you sell herbs, you probably hear
these
questions often. What is the "right" answer? It depends on the herb! These
thoughts on herbs will help you
explain to your customers (and yourself) how
safe--or dangerous-- any herb might be.
To prevent problems when selling or using
herbs:
1. Be certain you have the correct plant.
2. Use simples.
3. Understand that different preparations
of the same herb can work differently.
4. Use nourishing, tonifying,
stimulating, and potentially poisonous herbs wisely.

*** BOOK REVIEW -- The People's Pharmacy Guide to Home and Herbal Remedies by Joe
Graedon, Teresa, Ph.D. Graedon***
"From a familiar, reliable source, a worthwhile addition to the spate of recent
alternative medicine guides. The Graedons (The People's Pharmacy, 1976, etc.),
newspaper columnists and radio-show hosts, are right up-to-date on what is known about
herbal treatments; from interchanges with their devoted public, they also offer
suggestions for help via popular folk remedies. They begin by listing 20 of their favorite
home remedies, those ``we have either tried ourselves with good results or heard about
repeatedly from readers . . . in some cases, there is scientific research to back up the
folk wisdom. Included here are gin-soaked raisins for arthritis (take nine per day), and
Archway Coconut Macaroon cookies for treatment of diarrhea (a remedy first suggested by a
Crohn's-disease sufferer), as well as the more familiar ginger tea for colds and coffee
for asthma attacks.
The Graedons warn early and often of the possible dangers inherent in herb use,
particularly in combination with prescription drugs. Some of the most dangerous herb-drug
interactions they document: licorice and Lanoxin (the potassium- depleting properties of
licorice can cause heart arhythmias); kava-kava and Xanax (both are sedating; together,
they are dangerously so); and ginkgo and Coumadin (increased risk of hemorrhage). The
authors also remind us that no one, inside the government or out, monitors herbal
preparations. Even the claim of ``standardized'' extract means nothing
(``standardized to what?'') when in many
casesSt. John's Wort, for onethe active constituent substance hasn't been
identified. That said, however, the Graedons do endorse herbs as appearing
``amazingly benign'' compared with prescription medications. The first part of their guide
is an extensive listing of common ailments, from allergies to warts, with their best
suggestions for relief. Part two looks in depth at 50 herbal remedies, from aloe to
valerian. A well-organized guide to therapeutic options that never goes overboard.
