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

Herbal remedy kava linked to liver disorders
"In Europe, the reaction was swift. On Nov. 8, German scientists reported that kava, an herbal supplement promoted for stress reduction, may be responsible for 30 cases of liver toxicity in Germany and Switzerland. Switzerland pulled kava off the market. Britain asked for its voluntary withdrawal. And Germany warned manufacturers that it may soon ban   kava. Earlier this month, France banned its sale.  In the United States, more than two months after the toxicity reports came to light, the Food and Drug Administration has issued no public warnings or advice. And, the agency says, by law it cannot."

Red Clover Isoflavones: Still no evidence that they offer benefits for any medical condition.
"The herb red clover contains high concentrations of isoflavones, substances
similar, but not identical, to estrogen. Based on this, red clover extracts have been
marketed for the treatment of numerous conditions, including menopausal
symptoms, PMS and high cholesterol. However, despite widespread marketing
efforts for red clover products, double blind trials have consistently failed to find
any evidence that red clover isoflavones are effective for any medical condition."

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

IRIDOLOGY - "What is Iridology?  When people are asked what they look at first when they notice an attractive person, several answers come to mind; some say they notice how a person walks or what a person is wearing. Some notice the perfume or cologne they wear, some take notice of the type of body, or the color and style of hair. However a great proportion of people notice the eyes of a person, for the eyes are often described as the windows to our soul. When we look at people's eyes, we can often determine whether people are lying,  whether they are angry or whether they are in love. We often can tell whether people are tired or not feeling well because the eyes will appear dull or lack the usual sparkle when people are not in the best of health. The eye is not only the window to our soul; the eye is the map to our body."

FLU - "Winter is when we are most likely to catch a cold or the flu. With Susun Weed's help, you can prepare yourself with herbs and home remedies to avoid infection and to build a strong immune system. Ms. Weed prefers safe  antibacterial herbs such as echinacea, usnea, or poke root, which not only kill infection, but also help us keep our immune systems strong.  These herbs have an extensive history of countering resistant bacteria and strengthening the body's natural defenses. She also recommends medicinal mushrooms, garlic, and ginseng to help you during the winter season. And, she reminds us that our thoughts affect our health too!"

FLEAS AND TICKS - "No matter how much of a nature lover one can be, it sure is another thing to have these critters on you and your dogs. Fleas are everywhere and though we live in a city, I still battle fleas on my German Shepherd. If your dog is allergic to fleas as our dog is, well you will need to be on top of your combating tactics when it comes to these bloodsuckers.  For those nature loving holistic people, the following recipes can be a wonderful help. Since they are all natural, they will only help repel fleas, ticks and flies etc. and must be applied more frequently as well."

*** BOOK REVIEW -- Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers : An Updated Guide to Stress, Stress-Related Diseases, and Coping by Robert M. Sapolsky ***

 
Why don't zebras get ulcers--or heart disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases--when people do? In a fascinating look at the science of stress, biologist Robert Sapolsky presents an intriguing case, that people develop such diseases partly because our bodies aren't designed for the constant stresses of a modern-day
life--like sitting in daily traffic jams or growing up in poverty. Rather, they seem more built for the kind of short-term stress faced by a zebra--like outrunning a lion.

With wit, graceful writing, and a sprinkling of Far Side cartoons, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers makes understanding the science of stress an adventure in discovery. "This book is a primer about stress, stress-related disease, and the mechanisms of coping with stress. How is it that our bodies can adapt to
some stressful emergencies, while other ones make us sick? Why are some of us especially vulnerable to stress-related diseases, and what does that have to do with our personalities?"

Sapolsky, a Stanford University neuroscientist, explores stress's role in heart disease, diabetes, growth retardation, memory loss, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. He cites tantalizing studies of hyenas, baboons, and rodents, as well as of people of different cultures, to vividly make his points.
And Sapolsky concludes with a hopeful chapter, titled "Managing Stress." Although he doesn't subscribe to the school of thought that hope cures all disease, Sapolsky highlights the studies that suggest we do have some control over stress-related ailments, based on how we perceive the stress and the kinds of social support we have.

Book Description
Robert Sapolsky is an authority on the effects of stress and a skilled storyteller, making this a highly entertaining and informative account of how the body handles stress and what to do about it. He addresses stress-related ailments, from heart disease to bad moods, armed with wit and scientific fact.
The list price for this book is $16.00.  To purchase this book for $12.80 at a 20% discount from Amazon.com, go directly to:
