long-term damage and ensuing physical problems like irritability, headaches,
hypertension, gastritis, arrhythmias, depression, fatigue, immune
deficiencies, etc. A new approach to reducing daily stress is whole
body pulsed electromagnetic field treatments.

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

Vitamin A supplements raise risk of broken bones
“Taking vitamin A supplements can weaken the bones and increase the
risk of fractures up to seven times, according to a large Swedish study.
The research, conducted on men, confirms three earlier studies in women
showing that high intake of vitamin A raises the risk of broken hips
and weak bones. The latest study is the first to measure levels of the
vitamin in blood, rather than just asking about diet and supplement use.”

STRESSED-OUT: Job pressures rising for women, study says
”Sometimes it's hard to be a working woman, but a new study suggests
that things have gotten a good deal harder.
Sixty-three percent of women surveyed by two workplace consulting
groups said their careers sapped them of emotional strength, and 44 percent
said work-related stress has escalated since the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks.”

Sizing up supplements
How to find safe products that work
“Although the Food and Drug Administration tightly regulates
prescription medications, manufacturers of dietary supplements do not have to prove
that their products are safe, or that they do anything beneficial.
Reports periodically find that supplements don’t even contain all that is
listed on the label, or they contain unlisted substances that may be
undesirable. Fortunately, help is now available for consumers trying to make wise
decisions about supplements.”



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

GREEN TEA- “Green tea is much more than just a refreshing beverage tea;
it provides many proven qualities for thousands of years but it hasn't
been until recently that scientific research has proven the health benefits
of drinking green tea… Green tea contains the highest content of various
antioxidant compounds (polyphenols) that have been proven as
beneficial in fighting certain cancers, to help lower cholesterol levels and
blood pressure, to help prevent food allergies, to reduce the risk of flu
and infections, and to reduce the effects of aging. Vitamins C and E and
beta carotene are also prevalent in green tea. Enough fluoride is found in
green tea to help reduce plaque formation and bacterial infections in
the mouth.”

HERNIA – “When pains or cramp happen in the lower abdominal area, it
may be a hernia or other muscle discomfort and weakness. There are about 5
million hernia sufferers in the US, only about 700,000 actively search
for treatment, because there is no recognized medication for hernias except
hiatus hernia (heart-burns, a stomach problem), and the standard
operations are usually painful and sometimes not very effective.
Hawthornia is a 100% natural herbal formula well proven in China to be
very effective to hernia and other related problems caused by general
weakness or over-exercises.”

AVOCADOS - “New research indicates that the California avocado, one of
nature's functional foods, contains phytochemicals that may help fight
chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer. The phytochemical
profile of the California avocado includes a cholesterol-lowering
phytosterol called beta-sitosterol and the antioxidant glutathione,
according to Dr. David Heber, director of the UCLA Center for Human
Nutrition. Evidence suggests phytosterol and glutathione may help
prevent certain types of cancers and heart disease in humans.”

*** BOOK REVIEW: The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power of Cosmeceuticals
for Supple, Youthful Skin ***
----------------------------------------------

"Plastic surgery isn't the only way to keep the aging process at bay.
With the proper care you can have fabulous skin in your forties, fifties,
sixties and beyond," promises author Nicholas Perricone, M.D.,
assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of
Medicine In his opening chapters, Perricone explains why skin wrinkles and
sags--a combination of factors including the passage of time, stress, poor
nutrition, excess alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, and exposure
to cigarette smoke, sunlight, and pollution. Ultimately, however, it all
boils down to damage caused by those renegade free radicals.

The bulk of his book is then devoted to a clearly presented skin care
regimen that involves oral and topical antioxidant therapy. On the oral
front, he emphasizes eating antioxidant foods, such as cantaloupe and
dark green leafy vegetables, and avoiding "bad carbohydrates" (high in the
glycemic index) such as pasta, sugar, and pancakes. And if you want to
look good for a big event within a few days he suggests eating "fish,
fish and more fish."

On the topical level, he recommends nutritional skin products such as
his DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) cream ("an instant anti-aging face-lift"),
a product that can only be purchased at specific places, such as selected
Nordstrom stores or www.Sephora.com. Perricone's tie-in with his
personal line of "cosmeceuticals" makes the book feel a tad self-serving. (He
even includes an index of where to buy his products.) However, most of his
advice is based on solid research and common sense, which gives this
celebrity doctor credibility as well as a huge following.”
