* "Friendly" Bacteria May Boost Health: Probiotics Pique the Interest of
Scientists and Food Marketers *
Bugs in baby food? Microbes in your milkshake? Relax, this is not the latest
tainted food scare -- it's a growing trend in foods designed to boost health,
not make you sick.
These products contain probiotics, or "friendly" bacteria similar to those found
in the human digestive system.
There are supplement pills, yogurts, smoothies, snack bars and cereals, even
baby formula and chocolate. Sold by major names like Dannon and Kraft, they're
spreading like germs on grocery store shelves and in supermarket dairy cases.

* Early care helps frozen shoulder *
Wake up to find your shoulder killing you but don't recall an injury? It could
be the start of frozen shoulder, a curse of middle-aged women and one of the
most puzzling joint conditions.
The shoulder's normally smooth lining becomes so inflamed it resembles cherry
Jell-O. That leads to scar tissue, making the shoulder too stiff to move.

* 10 holiday no-splurge tips: Fill up on these treats without feeling left out
of the fun *
Ghosts of binges past can turn you into a food Scrooge, dodging seasonal
celebrations to avoid the fattening feasts that go with them.
"Holidays are for connecting with family and friends," says Christine M.
Palumbo, RD, the Illinois chair of delegates for the American Dietetic
Association. "Unfortunately, most events come with food attached."

* Heart Attack Symptoms: Sex Difference? Symptoms of Heart Attack Don't Always
Include Chest Pain -- for Men or Women *
Researchers today announced that they see no need to draft a different list of
heart attack symptoms in women than in men.
While women are less likely than men to report chest pain or discomfort during a
heart attack, that difference doesn't warrant a sex-specific rewrite of heart
attack symptoms, according to a report published today in the Archives of
Internal Medicine.

* Back Pain *
It's getting to be so bad that by Monday afternoon, you're already tired of
being at the office. You're not even thinking as far ahead as Friday. Just
getting to hump day is going to be challenge enough.
In reality, it's not the folks you work with who are getting you down -- they're
tolerable, mostly, although there is that one guy in accounting. Where do they
find these people?

* Fear of the Dark *
It's common for children to fear the "monsters in their closet" the second you
turn off the lights, but for some kids, the fear stays with them into adulthood.
More than 12 percent of the U.S. population suffers from a phobia of some kind,
which is an irrational fear of an object or situation that's generally harmless.
According to the Mayo Clinic, "Accompanying the fear is a strong desire to avoid
what you fear and, in some cases, an inability to function at normal tasks in
your job and in social settings."

and How Can You (and Your Kids) Overcome It?" - By Hale Dwoskin at Sedona, go to

* Manifestation *
I turned thirty. I woke up in a state of shock, finally realizing I wasn't a kid
anymore. I had no job and no savings or any other assets except an old torn-up
electric piano. I was scrounging (a word we used often) to come up with money
every month for rent for my little studio apartment in a funky part of Oakland,
California.
That day changed my life because I began to apply some ideas in some new ways,
ideas that before had just been occasional floating thoughts, ephemeral and
remote possibilities in my mind. I sat down and wrote on paper what became --
for me, in my words -- the first secret of manifestation:

*** Book Review: Eat Right -- Your Life Depends On It - By Kathleen Becker,
M.A., R.N. and Coreen Reinhart, Certified Nutritionist ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
We now know that when "inflammation" (a normal immune system response to illness
and injury) becomes chronic rather than acute, it can be the major underlying
factor in the increased incidence of coronary artery disease, cancer, type II
diabetes, obesity, and many other chronic inflammatory disease processes. Eating
the type of diet recommended in "Eat Right -- Your Life Depends On It," an
anti-inflammation diet, can keep a person looking and feeling healthy for years
to come.
The body was designed to be in a constant state of balance and harmony. When the
human body is given the right blend of nutrients to function well, it will stay
in balance. Every human being, young or old, needs the right amount of purified
water daily and the right mixture and amount of favorable proteins,
carbohydrates (fruits and vegetables), fats, and most certainly, purified
pharmaceutical grade Omega 3 fish oil. Illness, disease, and aging can cause the
body to spiral into a state of chronic inflammation, but making the right food
choices that keep the immune system strong and the body in harmony can
dramatically help a person stay healthy, look good, and be well nourished for
the duration of their lives.
"Eat Right -- Your Life Depends On It" supplies the reader with a weekly grocery
shopping list, a weekly grocery cost comparison chart, a daily menu plan, and
many wonderful recipes for the period of six weeks. The book also explains in
great detail the basic facts about nutrition, the process of inflammation, and
why eating an anti-inflammation diet for life will make a person look good, feel
good, and give them the energy required to do good things for themselves and for
others. Eating correctly for a more beautiful you and a healthier and happier
tomorrow can start today with "Eat Right -- Your Life Depends On It."
