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

Homeopathy same as a placebo for asthma: study
"New research findings suggest that the alternative medicine homeopathy is no more effective than an inactive placebo in treating asthmatics who are allergic to house dust mite.  Previous studies have suggested that the alternative medicine remedy might be an effective treatment for asthma."

The Making of John Q
Film Addresses the Need for Additional
Organ Transplant Options
"A true story. The call came in after midnight. The urgency in the voice of
the referring cardiac surgeon catapulted me out of bed towards my notepad."

Gymnema sylvestre
The "sugar destroyer" that is showing up in more and more over the counter weight loss products and blood sugar balancing formulas. What does it really do?
Blood Sugar
The main focus of gymnema research is blood sugar regulation and glucose metabolism.  It has been used in India for treatment of diabetes for about 2000 years. Today in India it is being used to treat primarily type II diabetes and type I as well. The herb has shown to reduce blood sugar, glycosylated haemoglobin and glycosylated plasma proteins when used for 18-20 months [1]. The effect is gradual rather than immediate with conventional drugs.  The active components responsible for lowering glucose are the gymnemic acids.

Herbal supplements come under the gun
Doctors applaud Europe's call for warning labels on St. John's wort, and the Food and Drug Administration moves on kava kava.
"The news is enough to make purveyors of kava kava and St. John's wort
anxious and depressed, but it's putting some pep in the steps of physicians. The
U.S. government and others are increasing their scrutiny of the largely chaotic
world of herbal dietary supplements. The Food and Drug Administration wants to hear from physicians about adverse
events among patients related to kava's use."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FITNESS - "Your workout should be a pleasant and fulfilling experience. The more fun you have participating in an activity, the greater chances are that you will do it often and stick to it.  As you are already aware, commitment comes from deep within. The stronger your desire for change, the better your chances for success.  Therefore, self reliance and self-motivation must be your top priority."
(To read the complete article entitled:  Focus on Fitness  By: Ginger I Nicholson, go to)
http://www.naturalhealthweb.com/articles/nicholson1.html


MENOPAUSE - "Menopause is a time of enormous change. Wise women of all times have found simple life-style changes can make their Change much easier. For optimum health during and after menopause, follow these simple steps.
-  Exercise a different way every day: take walks, lift weights, dance, garden, do yoga, try tai chi.
-  Drink nourishing herbal infusions.
We all know how important exercise is for strong bones, healthy hearts, resistance to diabetes, and weight maintenance. But did you know it prevents depression too? By yourself, or with a friend, exercise is one of the golden keys to a long, healthy life."
(To read the complete article entitled:  Healthy Menopausal Years -- The Wise Woman Way  By: Susun S. Weed, go to)
http://www.naturalhealthweb.com/articles/weed4.html


LAVENDAR - "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. Essential Oil of Lavender is one of the safest and most widely used oils in aromatherapy.

*** BOOK REVIEW --     The Depression Workbook 2 Ed: A Guide for
Living with Depression and Manic Depression by M. A. Copeland, Mary Ellen, Matthew, Ph.D. McKay, Mary Ellen Copeland, Mary Liz Riddle (Preface)***

 
It may be difficult for those suffering from depression to add a little work into their day; simply getting out of bed can seem like plenty of work. But if you are newly diagnosed or experiencing moderate problems with depression or bipolar disorder, The Depression Workbook might be a literal lifesaver.  The first section is especially useful to new patients just learning to navigate the signs, treatments, and vocabulary of depression. Clearly written overviews of specific symptoms are coupled with space for you to write in your own thoughts on treatment, prognosis, and your ultimate goals. Checklists and daily planners help to identify both areas of difficulty and positive experiences; later in the book, you'll find charts for tracking medications, diet, and doctor visits.

A full section is devoted to the establishment and maintenance of a support group. Ideas range from open discussions with family members to seeking out volunteer work, and it's this section that may be the trickiest for the depressed to work through. Finding the strength to make new friends may seem impossible at first, but author Mary Ellen Copeland spreads plenty of warmth, encouragement, and
personal experience among her directives.

The list price for this book is $19.95.  To purchase this book for $13.96 at a 30% discount from Amazon.com, go directly to:
