*** TOP NATURAL HEALTH NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK ***
Why more kids are taking up alternative exercises
"Most of us loved football, ballet and cycling as children. But the
21st century is upon us and more youngsters than ever are now taking up
alternative exercises such as yoga and t'ai chi. Most of these
exercise systems are based on the belief that flexibility and stretching can
help improve common childhood problems such as poor concentration,
coordination, balance and spatial awareness.
Practitioners claim benefits include everything from improved reading
and writing skills to long-term protection from adult complaints such as
chronic back pain and joint problems."

*** OTHER HEALTH NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD***
Acupuncture: Can Needles Heal?
"For some, "being on pins and needles" describes a nervous or excited
state. For others, pins and needles are used to encourage and balance
the flow of energy through the body. Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese
tradition, is growing in popularity throughout the West. But what is it
all about? Below, two experts discuss how tiny pins, placed
strategically in the body, can be used to heal."

Vitamin Supplements and High Intake of Carotenoids Do Not Lower Risk of
Parkinson's Disease

"Neither the intake of vitamins nor of carotenoids supplements appears
to reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Oxidative damage has been
implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and some limited,
mostly retrospective epidemiological data have suggested that high
vitamin E intake diets may or may not be associated with a lower risk of
developing Parkinson's disease."

Diet knickers 'melt fat away'
"Slimmers are being urged to buy a pair of diet knickers which make fat
melt away, according to its makers. The Wonderslim range, which has
gone on sale in Japan, comprises knee-length sports pants, two types of
girdle and close-fitting men's boxer shorts. Each Wonderslim garment has a
seaweed and caffeine mixture which is massaged into the skin by the

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

DIARRHEA? - Try Carob. "Carob (15 grams per day) alleviates Diarrhea
where the underlying cause of Diarrhea is NOT infection by Detrimental
Microorganisms (due to the high content of Tannins in Carob)."
In-Tele-Health C 2002 (from Hyperhealth Pro CD-ROM)
This is an excerpt from HYPERHEALTH, a comprehensive, science based
encyclopedia of nutrition and natural health. With HYPERHEALTH it has
never been easier to learn about natural health and nutrition. To get
complete details on this 20,000 page CD-Rom encyclopedia and to
purchase a copy, visit our website at http://www.hyperhealth.com

HICCUPS? - They can be annoying!! A study reported in the New England
Journal of Medicine found that one teaspoon of ordinary table sugar,
swallowed dry, cured hiccups immediately in 19 out of 20 people (some
of whom had been hiccuping for as long as six weeks). If this doesn't stop
the hiccups right away, repeat it three times at two-minute intervals.
(For young children, use a teaspoon of corn syrup.)

AVOID TOY RELATED INJURIES - Your child may be advanced for his/her
age, but you should always adhere to the recommended age level on consumer
packaging. However, even carefully reading the labels does not
guarantee that that a toy is safe and that a child will not choke on parts. Buy
a "small parts tester", available at toy stores and hardware stores to
double check if a toy may be a choking hazard to your child.

*** BOOK REVIEW ***
The A-Z Guide to Drug-Herb and Vitamin Interactions
by Schuyler W. Lininger Jr.(Editor), Steve Austin, Alan R. Gaby
(Contributor), Donald J. Brown (Contributor), Forrest Batz'
-------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're either taking, or thinking of taking, vitamins or herbs along
with your prescription and non-prescription medications, then you and
your family must have this book! Millions of people, just like you, use both
without knowing that some combinations are beneficial while some can be
downright dangerous.

Based on the information from Healthnotes Online database, the A-Z
Guide to Drug-Herb-Vitamin Interactions is written by a highly respected team
of natural medicine experts --medical doctors, naturopathic physicians,
and pharmacists-who have created a natural health information resource that
is both comprehensive and user-friendly. The A-Z Guide to
Drug-Herb-Vitamin Interactions helps you learn which drugs can deplete your body's
essential nutrients; which supplements can help your prescriptions work better,
or reduce drug side effects; and which herbs and drugs should never be
taken together. Did you know that:

.Along with bad bacteria, antibiotics kill good bacteria that need to
be replenished?
.Birth control pills deplete the body's stores of folic acid?
.Asian ginseng may help your flu vaccine work better?
.Ginkgo can help reduce Prozac-induced sexual dysfunction?
.Vitamin K can destroy the drug action of WarfarinR?
"The A-Z Guide to Drug-Herb-Vitamin Interactions is presented in a very
clear and concise manner-making it accessible to both health
professionals
and consumers. It is an indispensable resource for people who take
medications, as well as those who prescribe or dispense them-and it's
especially useful for anyone concerned about nutrition and herbal
therapies. It will be an essential resource on my bookshelf."

-Joe Graden, MS, Author The Peoples' Pharmacy

"This comprehensive review of drug-nutrient interactions-by far the
most exhaustive of its kind-is an invaluable tool for all consumers and
professionals, integrating the worlds of conventional and alternative
medicine."-Julian Whitaker, MD, Editor, Health & Healing newsletter

general health and knowledge. Putting into practice the easy-to-use
information in this book can help avoid many potential problems and can
greatly increase good health and well-being."-James M. Brodsky, RPh,
Instructor, University of Southern California College of Pharmacy
