Carpal Tunnel Cure "If you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), the idea of

question. But according to a number of Iyengar Yoga teachers, the practice can
offer just the healing you need."

*** OTHER HEALTH NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD***

Why young need low-fat diet
"CHILDREN as young as five years should be on a low-fat diet as
recommended for adults, a leading Sydney pediatric and nutritionist
says. Dr Patricia McVeagh from Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick said many
parents mistakenly believe school aged children need full-cream milk,
cheese and yogurt. Starting a low-fat diet early in life reduce obesity
and creates healthy eating pattern in adulthood."

Dietary moves to tackle osteoporosis 
"The World Health Organisation has defined osteoporosis as the second
leading health care problem after cardiovascular disease. A new 
European funded project - called 'Osteodiet' - will set out to investigate
dietary strategies for its prevention. Osteoporosis is effectively a reduction
in bone mass and disruption of bone structure, resulting in reduced bone
strength and increased fracture risk. To date, research on this disease
has established the importance of several factors on its development,
including, age, gender, hormonal status, diet and lifestyle factors 
such as physical activity and smoking. Research on nutrient-bone 
interactions has, so far, focussed mainly on calcium and vitamin D, even though
several other nutrients (such as sodium, protein, vitamin K) are involved in
skeletal metabolism and bone health. European scientists involved the
'Osteodiet' project will look at the influence of diet, and its
interaction with individual genetic variation, on the metabolism of
calcium and bone in post-menopausal women."

Flu Medicines Not Perfect, But Useful
"When influenza strikes, you can expect at least a week of misery, with
fever, shaking, chills, body aches and headache. But two relatively 
new antiviral medicines, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) in the last three years, promise to minimize that."

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

BABY TEETHING? - Mix a teaspoon of powdered slippery elm with water and
rub the paste on baby's gums. This will help to ease the discomfort.


DRY WINTER SKIN - Winter season can have disastrous effects on our 
skins condition. Even when surrounded by snow, the air is actually drier 
than desert air. This happens because the moisture is solidified, falls as
snow or ice and is removed from the air. Cold wind, scratchy, coarse
and heavy clothing as well as indoor heating can add insult to injury to 
all ready dried out skin. The first rule of hand at skin protection is to
keep it moisturized and hydrated. Drink plenty of water and add a thin
layer of moisturizer to retard the dehydration rate of the skin.

HYPNOSIS - "Hypnosis is a means of directly accessing the subconscious
mind. Methods of gaining this access are many and varied but most
involve deep relaxation, visualization and the achievement of a meditative 
state of mind. Once the subconscious is available, suggestions are offered by
the hypnotized person to themselves (self hypnosis) or may be offered 
by a hypnotherapist (hetero-hypnosis), toward the goal of creating a
different emotional environment or mind set in the subject, usually regarding a
specific topic or issue. Since the subconscious mind accepts what is
offered to it without discrimination, profound changes in attitude,
belief systems and behaviors can result if the suggestions are well phrased 
and offered sincerely and sensitively. Hypnotherapy is an opportunity for
people to effect changes in themselves, to create the life and world
they desire, to let go of modes of thinking and acting that no longer serve
them and to take time for themselves to just relax and feel good."

Hypnotherapy, By: Gaye Wilson, go to)

*** BOOK REVIEW***
My House Is Killing Me! The Home Guide for Families With Allergies and
Asthma by Jeffrey C. May, Jonathan M. Samet (Foreword)


Asthma and allergy sufferers, this book is essential reading: it will
answer all your questions about why you suffer in your own home and 
what you can do to prevent it. May, an air quality investigator and 
president of a home investigation company, takes you on a tour of your home, both
interior and exterior, with a detailed description of the organic and
inorganic substances that are making you ill. He covers every room,
including the basement, attic, laundry room, garage, heating and
air-conditioning system(s), and nooks and crannies that you probably
forgot about. He explains how insects, molds, bacteria, yeast, dust,
moisture, larvae, pet dander, fabric fibers, smoke, and many other
agents can trigger an episode and how to eliminate them permanently. May
provides actual stories from his many years of experience with the solutions he
has recommended to his clients. Todd Schultze's A Safe Haven? (LJ 4/01/01)
complements May's work with practical advice on ridding your home of
toxic hazards like radon, asbestos, and lead. Both will serve for years to
come as the definitive guides to establishing disease-free living
environments.

A friend of May's read a rough draft of his book on what is actually in
a "clean" house, hoping it would put her to sleep. Instead, the pictures
and text kept her awake all night. Chemical consultant May describes where
and how the various parts of a residence can cause temporary or chronic
illness for those with allergies or other sensitivities.

The list price of this book is $16.95. To purchase this book from
Amazon.com, for $11.87 at a 30% discount, go directly to:

*** HEALTHY RECIPES -*** 
------------------------------------------------

EGGPLANT WITH ROASTED PEANUTS

1 1/2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce 
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 pound long thin Asian eggplants (about 2)
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 pound long beans or other green beans
10 cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon roasted peanuts

Stir together fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice and let stand about 10
minutes, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Preheat
broiler. Cut eggplants crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush a
small baking pan with some oil and place eggplant slices in pan. Brush
eggplant with remaining oil and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat, turning it once,
until tender and browned, about 8 minutes. Combine eggplant with
fish-sauce mixture and toss. Prepare a bowl of ice and cold water. Cut
beans into 1 1/2-inch lengths and cook in a saucepan of boiling salted
water 2 minutes. Drain beans and place into ice water to stop cooking.
Drain beans well and mix in with eggplant mixture. Cut tomatoes in half
and coarsely chop cilantro. Finely chop peanuts. Mix in tomatoes,
cilantro, and some peanuts to eggplant mixture, tossing to combine.
Vegetables may be prepared 2 hours ahead. Serve vegetables at room
temperature sprinkled with remaining peanuts.

Serves 4 Each serving about 74 calories and 2 grams fat.
