* Goo made from patient's blood speeds healing: Small experiment shows power of
body's own proteins *
Treating skin wounds with a gel made from a patient's own blood platelets
speeded healing, researchers said in a study showing how doctors may be able to
harness the body's innate healing ability.
Skin wounds treated with this gel healed about 10 percent more quickly than
wounds in the same people treated with only an antibiotic ointment, Monday's
study in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery showed.

* Hot Water Removes Allergens Best: Hot, Not Warm, Water Is Needed to Kill Dust
Mites, Remove Animal Dander in Laundry *
Hotter is better when it comes to killing dust mites and other allergens in your
laundry.
A new study shows washing laundry in hot water (140 degrees Fahrenheit) kills
100% of dust mites. But turn the dial down just 36 degrees to a warm, 104 degree
Fahrenheit wash and only 6.5% of dust mites are killed in the laundry. Hotter
water was also better at removing dog dander and pollen.

Filling up on apples and fish during pregnancy might protect your child from
developing asthma and allergic diseases, a new study shows.
Researchers from the Netherlands and Scotland have found that eating apples

* Mental Health *
As a Registered Dietitian, I've always believed in the importance of eating a
healthy diet. But lately I've come to realize that a proper mental diet is every
bit as important as the food you eat.
Today's society barrages us with a constant stream of negative, violent, and
crude images, leading many folks to indulge in an unhealthy mental diet.
Negative news stories about the latest murder or scandal, violent movies, trashy
talk shows -- these are mental junk food. And make no bones about it -- you
cannot possibly keep a happy, positive attitude if you feed your mind an
unending diet of mental garbage.

* Surgery *
Surgery can be a stressful and anxiety producing event for many reasons:
*Fear of the unknown; *Fear of pain; *Unfamiliar environment; *Fear of the
outcome; *Trust; *Lack of information/education about the pre-post surgical
intervention; *Listening to what others say, and base anticipated experience on
those conversations
The 'words we say' and the 'thoughts we think' affect all of our relationships
at the conscious and unconscious level. We are active participants and have the
ability to influence our outcome. Use a few mind-body connection techniques to
empower yourself and become an active participant in your health journey.

Begins" - By Mary Kraemer, RN, RMT, go to

* Depression *
For many people who suffer from depression, or stress or anxiety, the only way
to find relief is by taking antidepressants. Sometimes they help, often they
don't. Here's five far more effective but wholly natural ways you can use to
help you lift the fog of a depressive episode. And unlike a bottle of drugs, you
can use these techniques for the rest of your life.

*** Book Review: The Worry Cure: Seven Steps to Stop Worry from Stopping You –
By Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
For "highly worried people," or those who suffer from the "what-if disease,"
Leahy (president of the International Association of Cognitive Therapy and
author of "Cognitive Therapy Techniques: A Practitioner's Guide") presents a
systematic, accessible self-help guide to gaining control over debilitating
anxiety.
Leahy is an expert in changing thought processes, and he walks worriers
step-by-step through problems in the way they think, with pointers on how to
change these biases. For self-assessment, he provides several questionnaires to
take your worry profile, including estimations of your personal beliefs on self
and relationships, and your ability to tolerate uncertainty. The author then
outlines a seven-step worry-reduction plan: beginning with identifying
productive and unproductive worry, progressing to improving skills for accepting
reality, challenging worried thinking, and learning to harness unpleasant
emotions such as fear or anger.
With numerous examples, Leahy also covers the broad life anxieties that may
spark dysfunctional thinking: relationships, health, money, and work. Following
Leahy's steps involves keeping emotion diaries, answering a battery of questions
to monitor and challenge worries, and maintaining regular vigilance over your
thoughts. Those who can summon the discipline and commitment to stick to Leahy's
program might find some relief. (Copyright © Reed Business Information, a
