*** TOP NATURAL HEALTH NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK ***
Vitamin E may help treat menstrual pain: study
"Vitamin E could help ease the pain of menstrual cramps, recent study findings suggest.  High levels of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins have been implicated in dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation. Because vitamin E can help block prostaglandin formation, Dr. S. Ziaei of Tarbiat Modarres University in Iran and colleagues decided to test the vitamin as a treatment for dysmenorrhea.

Controversial AIDS Treatment

Echinacea Linked to Allergies
Those With Other Allergies Should Be Especially Careful
"Echinacea was recently found to be one of the top 10 most popular herbs and supplements. But a new study shows that this herb shouldn't be taken lightly as it can cause life-threatening allergic reactions.  Echinacea is commonly taken to help prevent colds and other infections. But as with other supplements, the dangers of Echinacea are somewhat a mystery.  Two allergy specialists in Australia were asked to see five people after each one had an apparent reaction to Echinacea. The study appears in the January issue of Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.  After taking Echinacea, two of the five people developed a severe, life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. When this occurs, breathing is
difficult due to swelling in the airways, and blood pressure can fall to deadly
levels."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESSENTIAL OILS - "As the new year begins and winter sets in, nature once again displays its beauty as the changing seasons continue to follow us.  From green leafy trees to bare branches, from sunny days to grey skies of cold and  snow, we can experience the beauty of nature that is always present.  Do we realize too, that within these ever changing seasons, lives a wide assortment of natural medicine that words to support, strengthen and regenerate our bodies?
Essential oils were very likely one of the first medicines of man. We find
references to them throughout history, yet still their gifts remain a secret to many.
We find them used more commonly in other countries, where in Europe doctors
prescribe essential oils to treat illness.  Here in the United States, we are now
beginning to research and document the many properties of essential oils and re-
recognizing their ability to aid in the healing process."

CALCIUM - "Many women increase their calcium intake, unaware that the body
also requires magnesium. The body keeps the two minerals in balance, therefore
increasing one without increasing the other really does not have any real benefit as the body simply disposes of the excess.  Optimally one should consume 1,000 milligrams of each per day. However, your intake should increase with age. After menopause the recommended daily allowance is 1,500 milligrams. Remembering always to have that balancing component. McMaster University researchers have recently reported the importance of pregnant women increasing their calcium intake to 1,500 to 2,000 mg per day. The results of their study indicated that this could reduce the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension and pre- eclampsia; two of the highest levels of concern in pregnancies, by 70% and 60% respectively."

ARTHRITIS - "Do you suffer from inflamed, painful or stiff joints? Inflammation of joints can be caused by many things. Most commonly, arthritis is due to accumulated joint injury and stress through constant wear and tear over time (osteoarthritis). It is important to have a health care professional assist you in the diagnosis of your particular kind of arthritis as there are many additional causes for example genetic abnormalities, cancer, infections. Interestingly, the medications most often tried for relief of joint pain caused by osteoarthritis (wear and tear arthritis) and rheumatoid arthritis, the so called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc.) actually inhibit cartilage repair and accelerate cartilage destruction thus decreasing the ability of the body to heal itself."

*** BOOK REVIEW -- Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive                     Guide to Natural Birth Control and Pregnancy Achievement by Toni Weschler ***

 
This comprehensive book explains in lucid, assured terms how to practice the   fertility awareness method (FAM), a natural, scientifically proven but little-known form of birth control (which is not to be confused with the woefully
ineffective "rhythm" method). Author Toni Weschler has been teaching fertility awareness for almost 20 years, and it's only just now gaining in popularity. As the book explains, by using simple fertility signs including peaks in morning body temperature and changes in cervical position and cervical mucus, it's possible to determine when ovulation is taking place. Fertility awareness is therefore useful for not only couples who are trying to conceive, but for those who are aiming to avoid pregnancy without the use of chemical contraceptives. It will be of special interest to those women who have suffered from infertility; many FAM practitioners have told the author that by filling in the detailed charts in the book, they've realized that they were chronically miscarrying, even when their doctors told them they weren't conceiving at all. As the book explains, by charting body temperature, it's simple to tell when pregnancy has occurred--and when there's danger of miscarriage. Taking Charge of Your Fertility also explains how to choose the sex of your baby by timing intercourse according to certain fertility signs. It also features thorough, easy-to-understand explanations of hormones, the menstrual cycle, and menopause, along with fertility tests and treatments and their long- and short-term side effects, plus a topnotch resource section. Recommended for any woman who wants to better understand her body.
