USA: Peta list recognises schools supporting vegetarians and vegans  "A list compiled by the campaigning group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) has put two New England schools among the top ten schools in the US for supporting a vegetarian or vegan diet.   At Smith and Bowdoin colleges standard school dinner fare includes dishes such as tempeh cacciatore, vegan shepherd's pie and craisin beet cake."  (Click here for complete news story)

Migraine Headaches
Migraine headaches plague 4.5 million individuals with one or more disabling attacks a month.  However, using drugs to dull the pain of recurrent headaches is not a satisfactory long-term solution.  See recent studies showing promise using pulsed magnetic fields, http://www.healingwell.com/library/migraines/lappin1.asp.   For details of an available consumer pulsed magnetic mattress helped migraine suffers in Europe, go to www.quantronmedicine.com


Yoga's Effects
"Developed 5,000 years ago, yoga has finally reached the Western World and is taking it by storm. Most yoga practices in the United States focus on physical positions called "asanas", breathing exercises called "pranayama", and on meditation. Many Americans have found that yoga not only improves their physical health, but also offers mental clarity, stress control, and promotes an overall feeling of well-being."

Dry Winter Skin
"There are some herbs you can take internally or topically for help.  My favorite is burdock root can help many skin problems as well and dry flaky conditions.  Other supplements could include evening primrose, black currant and borage oils as they contain essential fatty acids which are beneficial for skin ailments.  (See Dr. Weil - Herbs for Dry Skin).  Other herbs you can use topically include chamomile, calendula, comfrey and rose water which are emollient or hydrating."

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

WINTER BLUES - "It's that time of year, again.  People start to feel bad, lethargic, irritable, and depressed.  Many gain weight.  For some people the winter months are merely an annoyance.  For others, it can be a major problem.  Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects twice as many females as males.  Aromatherapy can help you beat those 'winter blues'.  A growing body of scientific research supports the fact that women react more strongly to aromatherapy.  Scent has a profound effect on the emotions.  The limbic system processes both odor and emotions, therefore, aroma and emotions are inseparable.  Essential oils can cleanse, release, and balance our thoughts and emotions.  Aromatherapy affects the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our individuality."

INSOMNIA - "We've all experienced some form of insomnia at particularly stressful times in our lives. It's normal to have trouble sleeping at these times, and it usually passes after a night or two. Insomnia is a problem only when it becomes chronic. Although it is associated with certain physical illnesses-arthritis, heart failure, and chronic lung disease, for example-most experts agree that insomnia is a symptom, not an illness in itself. So what is it a symptom of? There are two answers-the ancient and the modern. At first glance they seem completely different, but a closer look reveals some remarkable similarities."

SOY - "The media claims that it is the healthiest food to have come along in a long while. Manufacturers are sprinking soy in and on their present products and all of asudden they have "soyfood!"  But according to the FDA regulations, soyfoods have to contain a certain amount of soy to meet the requirements. But, not all soyfoods are able to meet the requirements.  It is a good idea to search out each soyfood you choose to determine the values. In your search try to find a nuetral party, not a manufacturer-backed source that is hard at work to get you to buy their products."
