** 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.

Ginseng may improve memory function after stroke
"Chinese ginseng extract may improve memory function in stroke patients,
say researchers. They tested a compound extract of ginseng in patients
who had mild or moderate dementia after ischaemic stroke. The 25
patients who received ginseng three times a day for 12 weeks had higher total
memory scores than the 15 patients in the control group who received
Duxil (almitrine plus raubasine), a drug that has been used to improve memory
in elderly dementia patients (P <0.001). Memory tests focused on immediate or delayed recall, delayed
word recall, verbal learning and recognition, and visual recognition.
Trial data were presented at the American."

Risk-free healing through Reiki treatment highlighted
"This was really a unique sitting when a world renowned (an American-
Certified) scholar and Reiki Master, Dr Taj Alam, brought to light the
qualities of ways and methods of 'Reiki' treatment tracing four zones of
energy; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energies and certainly
the 'Reiki' was the only method of treatment that had no side-effects
and on the contrary gave spiritual energy not to the patient, but also to
the 'Reiki Healer'.
The sitting, held by Holistic Healing Centre (HHC) at a local hotel, was
attended by prominent personalities from different walks of life and was
addressed by senior journalists, doctors and other professionals who
confirmed that Dr Alam has been provided treatment to a lot of people;
even cancer patients who now were quite fine."

Vitamin K - a role in bone health
"Women with a low vitamin K intake may be at increased risk of bone
fractures, suggests research in this month's American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition.
Low dietary vitamin K intake has been associated with an increased risk
of hip fracture in men and women but the team from the US Department of
Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts
University, Boston noted that there is little data on the association between
dietary vitamin K intake and bone mineral density (BMD)."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
ANTIOXIDANTS - "Natural sources of antioxidants, such as Vitamins C and
E and beta-carotene, are some of your best defenses against
coronary-pulmonary aging. Choose from these foods when eating at least
five servings per day of fruits and vegetables, better yet 9 servings:
Vitamin C: red pepper, Brussels sprouts, papaya, orange, chestnuts,
butternut squash, kiwi, strawberries, cantaloupe, kale, pink grapefruit,
sweet potato, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. {The latter 3 also
help the liver detoxify poisons and "bad" estrogens (16-hydroxyestrone) that
promote breast, colon, cervical and prostate cancer.}
Vitamin E: almonds, spinach, parsnips, peanut butter, sunflower seeds,
asparagus, sweet potato, wheat germ, Brussels sprouts, peanuts, pecans."

NAIL BITING - "Nail biting in all its various forms is problematic
behavior beset by peculiarity and contradiction. Technically speaking,
the correct word for nail biting is ANONYCHOPHAGIA.
Nail biting typically begins between the ages of five and 10 and is
common among children as well as adults. As many as one in three Americans bite
their nails.
One of the more noteworthy and generally surprising things about nail
biting is its high instance. It crosses every social and economic
barrier.
Prevalence figures for children are much higher than for adults."

*** BOOK REVIEW : Pdr for Herbal Medicines (Physician's Desk Reference
for Herbal Medicines, 2nd Ed) by Medical Economics Staff (Editor), Joerg
Gruenwald (Editor) ***
---------------------------------------------------
Interest in and usage of herbal preparations as alternatives to
pharmaceuticals has exploded in recent years. Having a complete herbal
reference on hand is now absolutely necessary for doctors and other
healers when a patient wants to add herbs--let's say St. John's wort--to
his drug regimen. Should the patient stop taking the Paxil he's been on
for depression, and if so, how long must he wait before he can start
taking the St. Johns wort, and what's the recommended dosage?
The PDR for Herbal Medicines will go a long way towards answering such
questions. The physician in this case would learn, after consulting the
PDR, that "St. John's wort taken concomitantly with an SSRI ... may lead
to an increased effect and possible toxicity 'serotonin syndrome', e.g.,
sweating, tremor, flushing, confusion and agitation." The same physician
will also learn that the German Federal Health Authority's Commission E,
which has studied the effects of hundreds of herbs, approved St. John's
wort for depressive moods, among other conditions.
For more information, the physician can read about the trade names,
descriptions of all the medicinal parts of the plant, actions and
pharmacology (including the compounds and their effects, with
citations), the results of clinical trials, contraindications, precautions and
adverse reactions (photosensitization is a biggie for St. John's wort), dosage
information, and a complete list of literature citations.
The second edition of this mammoth guide includes over 100 entries more
than the first, bringing the total to more than 700. Additions include a
selection of Asian herbs, such as Buplerum Chinese (also known as
Chinese thoroughwax), which is used in Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory,
and homeopathic preparations; a directory of manufacturers (with
Internet addresses when available), a safety guide (don't use kava kava while
nursing), and more. There's even a section that lists unproven uses for
each herb. But make no mistake: this is a mainstream reference that
relies on scientific proof above all. Therefore, this is not a guide for
everyone, but for scientific and medical reference, it's a helpful and
comprehensive resource, and even those who push the herbal envelope will
find much valuable information here.
