This large population relies heavily upon the medical community for the provision of pharmacological treatment. Many physicians are now referring chronic pain sufferers to non-drug based therapies, that is, "Complementary and Alternative Medicine," in order to reduce drug dependencies, invasive procedures and/or side effects. The challenge is to find a non-invasive, non-toxic approach. To learn about one of the newest self-care solutions available for pain relief in the home.

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

High-calorie diet “increases bowel cancer survival”
“Bowel cancer sufferers may help increase their chances of survival by switching to a diet that is high in calories, say French researchers.” (Click here for complete news story) http://www.health-news.co.uk/showstory.asp?id=111664


Philippine drug firms up vitamin C production
“Philippine pharmaceutical companies have increased their production of vitamin C by 50 percent to meet the dramatic rise in demand for health supplements that would strengthen body resistance against the dreaded severe acute respiratory syndrome” (Click here for complete news story) http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/EE14Ae03.html


“Putting babies to bed on their backs to help prevent sudden infant death syndrome does not lead to other health problems such as stuffy noses and spitting up, a study found. The findings should help reassure parents and persuade others to get their babies off their bellies, researchers said. Their study was published yesterday in May's Archives of Pediatrics. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended since 1992 that babies be put to sleep on their backs. But some parents have resisted, in part because of fear their youngsters might throw up and choke on their vomit. Many also believe that babies sleep better on their stomachs.” (Click here for complete news story) http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/living/health/5846363.htm





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

SOY AND THE TYHYROID – “According to some experts, there has been much discussion lately about the possible adverse effects of soy consumption on thyroid function in both infants and adults. Researchers from the National Center for Toxicology (NCTR), (part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) have even been concerned. But these effects of soy on thyroid function are not really new. The first news regarding the fact that soybean produced goiter in iodine-deficient rodents was published in 1933, and subsequent animal studies published in the 1930s and 1940s produced similar findings.

GREEN TEA- Did you know green tea can protect your skin from ultraviolet rays? Well it is true. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is a year-round challenge. Everyone should use an effective sunscreen and limit exposure to ultraviolet radiation. In addition to sunscreen, various studies have shown that both the consumption and topical application of grean-tea polyphenols can inhibit the cancer-producing or inflammatory impact of ultraviolet radiation. A study presented in the Journal Of The American Academy Of Dermatology, concluded that polyphenol extracts of green tea were effective topical agents to prevent the adverse effects of sunlight. An article in the International Journal Of Oncology documented many studies that showed how green-tea polyphenols can be protective against the inflammatory and carcinogenic effects of ultraviolet radiation… (To read the complete article entitled: Green-Tea and Your Skin

ADD – “Attention Deficit Disorder tends to focus predominately on children, leaving the ADD adult largely under served. Most of the information presented about Attention Deficit Disorder focuses on children, parenting and school issues. All but one ADHD medication currently on the market achieved FDA approval for adult Attention Deficit Disorder treatment. Attention Deficit Disorder simply was not in vogue when the adult of today was a child decades ago. While today many express concerns of over diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder in children, many also acknowledge the under diagnosing of adults with Attention Deficit Disorder.
