*** TOP NATURAL HEALTH NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK ***
Good Fats Play Protective Role; Vitamins Don't Help at All 
“Diet seems to be linked to Alzheimer's disease, especially fat, according
to two new studies. Sticking to a diet high in "good fats" -- from nuts,
fatty fish, vegetable oils -- seems to lower risk, while eating fried
foods and other "bad fats" increases risk. However, antioxidant vitamins
don't have much effect in preventing dementia and Alzheimer's.”

** WARD OFF The Long-Term DAMAGE of STRESS **
There are many approaches to preventing and managing stress reactions.
Once a stress reaction occurs, it can take hours, even days to recover.
Since the effects of stress are also cumulative, a daily routine of
reducing the physiologic response becomes necessary to ward off 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.

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK *** 
COFFEE – “Are you addicted to coffee? You're not sure? Just ask yourself
if you can commit to living without it. For most people, coffee is a must
have in the morning. Without coffee they don't feel alive. I know some
people who instantly get a headache if they don't have their coffee in the
morning. What's wrong with coffee you may ask? Coffee is a drug and it
can manipulate your feelings. If you drink coffee after lunch sometimes
or occasionally in the morning that's fine. The big problem starts when
you need it every day and it gets worse when you want to lose weight.
Coffee interferes with your natural weight loss program.”
(For the complete article entitled How Coffee Interferes With Losing
Weight by Thomas Herold, go to)

BLEEDING GUMS? - When gums bleed, use freshly juiced cranberries by
rubbing gums. The quinine will help stop the bleeding.


BEAUTY & SKIN – “Warm Chamomile tea is an excellent toner for dry
sensitive skin types. Apply with dampened cotton wool or a piece of muslin
cloth. If using tea leaves, strain the solution first !!!!! Cheap, natural
and effective !!”

*** BOOK REVIEW: The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers : The Most
Comprehensive Problem-Solution Guide to Breastfeeding from the Foremost
Expert in North America - by Jack Newman, Teresa Pitman ***
------------------------------------------------


There's a huge difference between "natural" and "easy"--just ask a woman
who chose natural childbirth! Breastfeeding is certainly the most natural
option for feeding your little one, and repeated studies have shown its
nutritive value. But that doesn't make it easy, and not all medical
practitioners are trained to answer questions about the process. In The
Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers, authors Jack Newman and Teresa
Pitman have assembled a mass of real-life stories from their clinical
experience, and with their straightforward, helpful advice, you'll be
breastfeeding successfully in no time.

Divided into three main sections, the book provides new information about
why breastfeeding really is the healthiest option and where you can find
good, hands-on help locally. Later chapters deal with feeding-related
issues like sleeping patterns, babysitters, and when to wean your
baby--the authors strongly believe in long-term (through toddlerhood)
breastfeeding, a slightly different approach than many working moms may
prefer. The majority of the book falls under the section "Common Problems
and Solutions," and this is where to turn for advice on everything from
breast refusal to slow weight gain. Special topics like illness or
medication in mom's system are dealt with in detail, as are sore breasts,
colic, and premature or low-weight babies. The chapter covering unusual
situations, such as breast surgery and adoption, emphasizes the
possibilities rather than the difficulties, and offers advice on the use
of hormones and finding a breast-milk bank. Ending with four pages of
resources on everything from Web sites to hospitals, you'll find the
answers you've been looking for in this unique guide. --Jill Lightner
