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

Vitamin D Supplements May Prevent Heart Disease
"Vitamin D supplements may not only help older women
 avoid weaker bones but may help prevent heart disease, doctors reported on
 Tuesday.  Women over the age of 65 who took vitamin D had nearly one-third less risk of dying from heart disease as women who did not take the supplements, the researchers told a meeting in Hawaii of the American Heart Association.  While it is too soon to advise women to start taking vitamin D supplements, the
 researchers say their findings merit further study."

These amendments set achievable levels of drinking water quality to protect your health."

*** BOOK REVIEW -- Thyroid Power : Ten Steps to Total Health
by Richard, Md Shames, Karilee Halo, Rn Shames, Richard L. Shames, Nathan Becker ***


Depressed, overworked, or just feelin' old are common enough complaints. But when disparate symptoms such as joint pain, weight gain, and foggy-headedness join the ranks, it's time to think thyroid. As the "throttle" for the body's energy hormones, the thyroid affects every organ and cell; when it's in trouble, any variety of ailments--physical and mental--can occur. Trouble is, physicians are more likely to treat each symptom independently, with pill upon pill, rather than search for a root cause. Bolstered by 25 years of treating patients with low thyroid condition, husband-and-wife team Richard L. Shames, M.D., and Karilee H. Shames, R.N., Ph.D., ably explain the physical and emotional profiles of those diagnosed with the disease, why the proverbial deck is stacked against them, and how each patient can forge an effective path of treatment. "Consider Thyroid Power a long, personal visit with a caring, prevention-oriented practitioner," state the authors.

The journey begins with thyroid basics: how this little hormone-producing tissue operates, signs that things are amiss, how other illnesses compound the problem, and how to determine one's risk for hypothyroidism. Next, the Shameses discuss the labyrinth of diagnostic and treatment issues a patient must endure.  Helpful and harmful supplements and environmental factors, repairing the immune system (the origin of thyroid troubles), and a rich, sensitive exploration of holistic healing nicely round out this valuable resource. A brief section titled "Show This to Your Doctor," penned by Richard, perfectly  crystallizes the book and provides an effective tool for initiating a  patient/physician dialogue."

>From Library Journal
Richard Shames, a physician, and his wife, Karilee, a Ph.D.-prepared registered nurse, have written "a step-by-step approach to healing low thyroid," a condition they feel affects far more people than is generally recognized. In ten steps, the authors outline the different kinds of thyroid disease, its manifestations, how it can be diagnosed, and the variety of ways it can be treated. The style is very readable and includes Karilee's personal account of dealing with low thyroid.
