* No joke: Laughter yoga stretches into OC *
This is no joke: It's a typical day at sunny Main Beach and a dozen people are
wandering around with their hands in the air, laughing hysterically, squawking
like chickens and talking gibberish.
Now limbered up, they suddenly form a loose circle and begin clapping and
chanting before they resume a group stretch.
This is laughter yoga, a sidesplitting new fitness fad that's part traditional
yoga, part improv and all silliness.

* Are Organic Foods Better for You? More Expensive Organic Choices May Be
Nutritionally Equal to Their Conventional Counterparts *
There may have been a time, years ago, that the word "organic" was a rare sight
in the grocery store aisles.
No longer. From produce to potato chips, consumers today have at their
fingertips a host of organic choices for a wide range of foods.
The question remains, however -- are organic choices really any better for you?

* Pilates may give relief for Parkinson's patients: Controlled movements can
reduce symptoms, improve balance *
Movements in Pilates exercises are controlled -- sometimes moving the body only
inches -- but those small motions are making a big difference to some people
with Parkinson's disease.
No research has been done to prove Pilates' effectiveness in reducing
Parkinson's symptoms, but a growing number of patients say they are finding some
relief.

* Treating Allergies With Allergic Food: Pilot Study Offers Hope Food Allergy
Sufferers Can Build Tolerance *
Children with food allergies are told to avoid problem foods at all costs, but a
novel experimental treatment is taking the opposite approach.
In a two-year pilot study conducted by researchers at Duke University and the
University of Arkansas, eggs were very gradually introduced into the diets of
kids who were highly allergic to them in an effort to desensitize the children.

* Aromatherapy *
Christmas for me is always associated with aroma. When I look back at childhood
Christmases, it's the smells I remember. In the days leading up to Christmas, it
was the wonderful rich, spicy smells of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger wafting from
the kitchen, promising delights to come. And then, of course, about a week
before Christmas, the fresh crisp outdoor smell of the pine of the Christmas
tree followed, on Christmas morning, by the tangy citrus aroma from the orange
or tangerine hidden in the toe of my stocking.

* Guilt *
Guilt is an important feeling. It is the appropriate feeling to have when we
have deliberately done something hurtful or harmful to others. People who can
harm others without any feelings of guilt or remorse were formerly called
sociopaths or psychopathic personalities, and are now defined as suffering from
Anti-social Personality Disorder. Anti-social Personality Disorder is a severe
disorder that includes -- along with many other symptoms -- the lack of a
conscience. Without a conscience, people can deliberately harm others without
ever feeling guilt or remorse.

Paul, Ph.D., go to

* Dyslexia *
The term "dyslexia" was introduced in 1884 by the German ophthalmologist, R.
Berlin. He coined it from the Greek words "dys" meaning ill or difficult and
"lexis" meaning word, and used it to describe a specific disturbance of reading
in the absence of pathological conditions in the visual organs. In a later
publication, in 1887, Berlin stated that dyslexia, "presuming right handedness,"
is caused by a left-sided cerebral lesion. He spoke of "word-blindness" and
detailed his observations with six patients with brain lesions who had full
command over verbal communications but had lost the ability to read.

*** Book Review: Organic Housekeeping: In Which the Nontoxic Avenger Shows You
How to Improve Your Health and That of Your Family, While You Save Time, Money,
and, Perhaps, Your Sanity – By Ellen Sandbeck ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
According to the EPA, "the air in the average American home is between two and
ten times more polluted than the air just outside the threshold." Sandbeck, a
onetime housecleaner and roofer, explains why a homemaker must avoid toxins and
pesticides if the home is to maintain a balanced, healthy ecosystem.
The first chapter -- touting the benefits of tidying up and getting organized --
is tedious, but the book hits its groove in a chapter on "Organic Cleaning."
Here, readers learn that all too often the very products we trust to keep our
homes clean contain toxins and antimicrobials that kill beneficial organisms.
Sandbeck touches on a wide array of housekeeping issues, sometimes almost
straying dangerously off-topic. From preventing mold and mildew and controlling
garden pests, to computer care and avoiding electrical fires, Sandbeck doles out
knowledge with an easy-to-digest blend of authority and humor. (Copyright © Reed
