* Massage Eases Pain, Anxiety After Surgery *
A 20-minute evening back massage can help relieve the pain and anxiety that
often follows major surgery, new research shows.
"In patients getting massage, the acute response was equivalent to a [dose] of
morphine, which was pretty remarkable," said study senior author Dr. Daniel B.
Hinshaw, professor of surgery and a member of the palliative care team at the VA
Ann Arbor Healthcare System in Michigan

* What Type of Tanner Are You? People Who Use Indoor Tanning Beds Fall Into 4
Categories *
What type of tanner are you? How you use indoor tanning beds -- and how often --
may reveal a lot about your skin cancer risks.
A new study suggests that people who use indoor tanning beds fall into four main
types ranging from special event tanners to regular tanners, and each type may
face different skin cancer risks.

* Can junk food ever really be good for you? Some new snack food health claims
may be a stretch, nutrition experts say *
At a time when Americans are struggling with obesity and not eating enough
vegetables, some major food marketers claim they have an answer. Keen to tap
into consumer interest in healthier fare, companies are rolling out snacks
sprinkled with what they say are real servings of fruits and veggies.
But nutrition experts say you shouldn't be fooled by their better-for-you
promises.

* Sunlight Helps Put Lung Cancer in the Shade *
Something as common and available as sunlight may help prevent some lung
cancers, researchers say.
A new study finds that lower levels of the sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays are
associated with a higher incidence of lung cancer across 111 countries.
Still, that doesn't mean that spending more time in the sun will ever offset the
risks that come with smoking, according to the study, which is published in the
January issue of the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

* Meditation *
The best time for you to meditate is the time that you will do it! It's the time
that works best in your schedule, the time that is easiest for you. If you
choose a time that is convenient for your lifestyle, you'll find the experience
more appealing and more natural.
I consider the above is the best way to answer the question, "When is the best
time to meditate for greatest benefits?" If that's a sufficient answer for you,
there's really no need to read further. I hope you will, though.

Greatest Benefits?" - By Jeanie Marshall, go to

* Martial Arts *
One of my students came to me recently, concerned because she read a number of
posts online that slammed karate for being "a less effective form of
fighting/self-defense."
How crude.
Now, I'm trying REALLY hard not to sound like an elitist karate snob here (Okay,
I admit it, I am an elitist karate snob!), but I must say that those who doubt
karate's effectiveness as a fighting art have never "really" studied it -- at
least not in any depth. In the same breath, though, I'll also willingly say that
EVERY art has its strengths and weaknesses. As the saying goes, "There are no
superior martial arts, only superior martial artists."

martial art) as a 'Fighting Art'" - By Sensei Jason Gould, go to

* Healthy Family *
Few of us are immune to holiday stress. It doesn't help that Thanksgiving and
Christmas are so close together. For many people, it's like getting a
second-wham of anxiety and disappointment before you recover from the first one
at Thanksgiving.
Because our American culture still promotes the image of the happy family with
the white picket fence, we often assume the ideal family exists -- even if we
know that these families, too, have holiday difficulties. Holiday movies
increase our disappointment. Oh, they might start out with family feuds,
misunderstood children, and unacceptable mates, but all these issues get
resolved by the end of the film.

Overcoming the Holiday Stress Blues" - By Dr. LeslieBeth Wish, go to

*** Book Review: Wheat-Free, Worry-Free: The Art of Happy, Healthy Gluten-Free
Living - By Danna Korn ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is a practical, comprehensive, and inspirational guide to living a
wheat-free, gluten-free lifestyle. Millions of people are choosing to eliminate
wheat and gluten from their diets because of medical conditions such as celiac
disease (sprue), gluten intolerance, wheat allergies, and autoimmune disorders.
Others believe that dietary intervention programs are effective in reducing or
eliminating behaviors associated with autism, ADD, ADHD, and related syndromes.
And yet still others are eliminating wheat or gluten from their diets for
personal reasons.
"Wheat-Free, Worry-Free" answers the many questions that people have concerning
the unique challenges faced by people on a wheat-free or gluten-free diet. It
helps take the fear out of eating, and teaches and encourages people to deal
with the wheat-free or gluten-free lifestyle in an optimistic yet realistic
manner. Loaded with practical tips, recipes, menu suggestions, and ideas for
traveling and eating out, it also delves into emotional issues and psychological
implications of the dietary restrictions.
This book includes extensive research on several medical conditions that require
a wheat-free or gluten-free lifestyle, as well as in-depth nutritional
information, and a comprehensive, up-to-date Products and Services Guide that
lists contact information for hundreds of companies providing products and
services for people on a wheat-free or gluten-free diet. With a humorous,
easy-to-read style, "Wheat-Free, Worry-Free" is a single source of information
for anyone interested in leading a happy, healthy gluten-free life.

1/2 cup warm water (120-130 degrees)
2 packages active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk (100-110 degrees)
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons reduced fat margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chopped dates
Place warmed water in a large bowl and sprinkle in yeast. Stir until dissolved.
