* Omega-3s: Nothing beats the real thing -- Fatty acids are nutritional
powerhouses, but not all are created equal *
If you're like many people, you're probably trying to get more omega-3 fatty
acids into your diet. But try to resist quick fixes to boost your intake.
There's more to these nutritional powerhouses than you'd realize just by reading
a food label.
Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fats found in fish, nuts and green vegetables. They
can fend off prostate cancer, protect your eyes from macular degeneration, cut
risk of heart disease and fight diabetes. A recent study published in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that those who routinely consumed
at least 300 grams (about 11 ounces) of fish per week had 29 percent less risk
of irregular heartbeat than those who consumed less.

* Zebrafish study may point way to blindness cure *
The ability of zebrafish to regenerate damaged retinas has given scientists a
clue about restoring human vision and could lead to an experimental treatment
for blindness within five years.
British researchers said on Wednesday they had successfully grown in the
laboratory a type of adult stem cell found in the eyes of both fish and mammals
that develops into neurons in the retina.

days a week or vigorous exercise at least 20 minutes three days each week,

specifically for those 65 and older.

* Test Brings Early Pancreatic Cancer to Light *
A light-based test that doesn't focus on the pancreas itself may be the first
safe means of accurately spotting early pancreatic cancer in people at high risk
for the lethal illness, researchers say.
The screening requires a routine endoscopic biopsy of the duodenum, the upper
part of the small intestine. When an early-stage pancreatic cancer is present,
cells in the duodenum give off different light-scattering effects than if the
disease is not there, U.S. researchers explain in the Aug. 1 issue of Clinical
Cancer Research.

*** Health/Safety Tips & Articles for the Week ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Spirituality *
It would probably assist, if from the beginning, I explained Eastern goddess
Kuan Yin's interpretation of "abundance." Hearing the word "abundance," some
might believe the goddess is referring to materialistic gain. Emphasizing there
is nothing wrong with material possessions, Kuan Yin wants us to know the
importance of differentiating between materialistic wealth and the clean, clear
wealth of higher consciousness. ...

Steps" - By Hope Bradford CHt, go to

* Mind Control *
In the world of business, it's said that the three most important ingredients
for success are location, location, location. Well, in the world of mind
control, the three most vital things are repetition, repetition, repetition!
I'm Bradley Thompson, and (modesty aside) I'm known as a self-development guru.
I've written several self-development books, and am president of dozens of
personal growth websites. ...

Thompson, go to

* Eating Disorders *
Eating disorders develop for a reason. They do not appear out of the blue. The
reason may not be apparent initially, though, as many youth keep their concerns
to themselves and don't share their self-doubt, fears, and worries. Eating
disorders develop as an attempt to feel better about something. They may be a
way to try to feel more confident, decrease anxiety or worry, feel more in
control, or be more socially popular with peers. They may be a way to try to
feel more in control when there is a lot of change going on in life or may be
triggered by upsetting situations. ...

*** Book Review: Yoga as Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health and Healing
– By Timothy McCall, M.D. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Western-trained internist and Yoga Journal medical editor McCall has practiced
Iyengar yoga for a decade. In 2002, he traveled to India, where most scientific
research on yoga's medical benefits has been conducted. The results of that
visit and McCall's subsequent study of yoga therapy and ayurveda (India's
ancient medical system) are presented here, translated into Western medical
terms. For example, McCall demystifies such concepts as samskaras (unconscious
patterns that negatively affect behavior and health); scientists, McCall says,
explain these patterns as repeated firings of neurons that change the brain's
wiring.
Although McCall's focus is on yoga therapy, he includes material that will be
helpful to most students. For readers challenged by illness, he provides an
overview of popular yoga styles and their suitability for various degrees of
fitness; steps to finding a yoga therapist; and what to expect from a session.
Twenty chapters feature noted yoga instructors describing their approaches to
specific conditions--panic attacks, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression,
infertility, cancer, etc. They offer advice, rather than fixed protocols, based
on their tradition and experience. This might frustrate readers seeking a
formula, but those willing to experiment have access to many diverse tools and
practices. No doubt McCall's fine articulation of yoga's healing potential will
appeal to a large audience of instructors, students, physicians, and their
patients. (Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier
