*** TOP NATURAL HEALTH NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK ***
Fight Infections with Supplements
"If you're one of the millions of people who take vitamin and mineral
supplements, you might be shocked to know that few studies document
their effectiveness. But you'll be pleased to hear about a new study that
shows they can significantly reduce infections.
"The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 40% of
US adults use supplements regularly and spend $1.3 to $1.7 billion on
them annually," say the authors of a new study in the latest issue of the
Annals of Internal Medicine."

** 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.

*** OTHER HEALTH NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD***
NEW STUDY EXAMINES USE OF ACUPUNCTURE TO ALLEVIATE STRESS AND PHYSICAL
SYMPTOMS FOR COLORECTAL CANCER PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED DISEASE
"Colorectal cancer patients with end-stage disease often suffer from
physical and psychological symptoms that negatively affect their quality
of life (QOL) and require frequent hospital stays. The intensity of
these symptoms can prevent patients from enjoying the remainder of their lives
and taking full advantage of their limited time with family and friends.
Investigators at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI)
are testing the use of acupuncture in alleviating symptom distress in people
with advanced colon cancer. The study is supported by a $1.2 million
grant from the National Institutes of Health. In order to determine whether
acupuncture helps people with colon cancer, some study participants
receive acupuncture and others do not."

High-fat diet protects newborn brain from seizure damage, study suggests
"Medical advice rarely supports a high-fat diet, but a team of UC Irvine
researchers has found that such a diet protects newborn brain cells from
damage caused by prolonged seizures. New findings from a study on
infant rats suggest that the high-fat diet of newborns, and the related
increased production of a specific protein, protects their brain cells
from damage that otherwise may accompany prolonged seizures. The
finding may lead to new strategies to prevent brain injury in adults."

Diabetics Benefit From Supplements
Vitamins Reduce Rates of Colds and Other Infections for Those With
Diabetes "Although the use of daily multivitamin supplements among
well-fed people has long been debated, with studies providing mixed
results, new research indicates that the over-the-counter pills can
help people with diabetes dramatically reduce their risk of cold, flu, and
other infections."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
SOUND THERAPY - "Sound Therapy is used in hospitals, schools, and
psychological treatment programs. Sound and music can have a very
powerful effect on an individual's health. It is an effective treatment
to reduce stress, alleviate pain, and lower blood pressure, among many
other ailments. There are more than 5,000 registered music therapists
in the United States. Music therapy is also recognized by the Joint
Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations."

ARTHRITIS - "A growing number of North Americans, including professional
sports teams, chiropractors and massage therapists, report excellent
results from emu oil and emu oil based sports/arthritis rubs in the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis."

DEPRESSION - "Easing Depression Naturally If you have only a few
symptoms of depression and they aren't interfering with your normal functioning,
I believe it's safe to experiment with natural approaches on your own.
However, if you suspect you may have clinical depression, I encourage
you to discuss your concerns openly with your doctor, who should make sure
that your symptoms aren't due to an underlying medical problem, and then refer you to a
psychiatric professional if necessary. For people who are diagnosed with
mild to moderate clinical depression, I think it's worth trying the
natural approaches below (and having you doctor track your progress)
before turning to antidepressant drugs. If you're severely depressed and
require antidepressant drugs, I'd recommend adding the following
lifestyle measures to any antidepressant regimen, as well as supplementing with
B-complex. Finally, I suggest that anyone with depression (no matter
what the severity) consider some form of psychotherapy to explore underlying
emotional issues."

*** BOOK REVIEW : How to Prevent and Treat Cancer With Natural Medicine
by Michael T. Murray (Editor), Tim Birdsall, Joseph E. Pizzorno, Paul
Reilly
--------------------------------------------------
"This encyclopedic compendium of "natural" medicinal strategies offers
encouragement and much sound advice to cancer patients and those seeking
to ward off the disease. The authors, doctors of naturopathy, advocate
complementing, not replacing, standard therapies with alternative
therapies to prevent cancer, slow its progress and cope with the side
effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Their emphasis is on nutrition
and diet, including vitamin and mineral supplements rich in antioxidants and
heavy doses of herbal teas and fish oil, but they also cover
acupuncture, hydrotherapy and massage.
Their sober approach cites numerous medical studies, including those
with conflicting results, to back up their claims, and warns readers when
natural medicines are contraindicated or might interfere with standard
medications. The sometimes bewildering amount of information is clearly
summarized in bullet-pointed regimens tailored to specific kinds of
cancer and treatment protocols, and accompanied with sample menus and recipes
to make a low-fat, low-sodium, hot-dog-free (studies link the consumption
of cured meats to childhood cancers such as leukemia) diet more palatable.
While the scientific jury is still out on the efficacy of some of the
authors' recommendations, their basic program-stop smoking and drinking,
exercise, eat lots of whole grains, fruits and vegetables-is
uncontroversial.
