*** TOP NATURAL HEALTH NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK ***

Fat in Mothers Diet may Cause Allergies in Children
"Asthma, eczema and hayfever are all related; together, they are called atopic disease or atopy. Children with a family history of atopic disease are more likely to develop it themselves. This is true even if it is the father or a sibling who has atopic disease, and not the mother.   An interesting new study suggests that fat in the diet may play a strong role in "passing on" atopy.1 This study followed 114 infants at high risk of developing atopic disease based on family history.   Researchers closely evaluated the diets of the mothers during the breastfeeding period. The results showed that when women consumed high amounts of saturated fat (animal fat), their children were significantly more likely to inherit atopy."

"Although drinking red wine may be an appealing ritual to help your heart, medical authorities caution it's not the most proven.  To ward off heart attacks, doctors with the American Heart Association say nothing beats the time-honored practices - eating healthfully, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight."

People Are Eating More Fruits and Veggies - Just the Wrong Kind
"Dark green veggies aren't always liked and cruciferous is a strange word. But those are exactly the types of vegetables people need to get more of. Though many of these veggies have a bitter taste, they're also the ones with high amounts of antioxidants, which help prevent damage in the body's cells. Vegetables high in antioxidants include:

    Dark green lettuce
    Brussels sprouts
    Kale
    Spinach
    Mustard greens
    Broccoli
    Swiss Chard

Unfortunately, fewer than one in five Americans were consuming enough cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and Brussels sprouts, according to the new survey, in which the government questioned almost 5,000 men and women between 1994 and 1996.  An analysis of the data, led by researchers at Arizona State University East in Mesa, shows that of the nearly 45% of Americans who consumed at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily, lettuce and tomatoes were among the most popular items. White potatoes accounted for about one serving, and French fries accounted for more than one-third of a serving."

Breastfeeding Keeps Some of the Bugs Away
GI Infections and Skin Problems Lower in Breastfed Babies
"New research shows that breastfeeding during a baby's first year may help lower the risk of gastrointestinal, or GI, tract infections, which affect the stomach and intestines, and atopic eczema, a common skin condition that affects around 10% of all infants and children."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSOMNIA - "Modern explanations for insomnia range from overstimulation and stress to mucking up our waking-sleeping cycle. Stimulants include caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate, and
some sodas), and sugar, as well as activities such as aerobic exercise, arguing, and watching violent TV shows (or the evening news, for that matter). All these taken (or experienced) too close to  Bedtime can rev us up so much that it is difficult to fall asleep. This is only another way of saying we are still attempting to digest these substances or events at the same time we are courting sleep."

http://www.naturalhealthweb.com/articles/angus1.html


HYPNOSIS - "Hypnosis is a means of directly accessing the subconscious mind. Methods of gaining this access are many and varied but most involve deep relaxation, visualization and the achievement of a meditative state of mind. Once the subconscious is available, suggestions are offered by the hypnotized person to themselves (self hypnosis) or may be offered by a hypnotherapist (hetero-hypnosis), toward the goal of creating a different emotional environment or mind set in the subject, usually regarding a specific topic or issue. Since the subconscious mind
accepts what is offered to it without discrimination, profound changes in attitude, belief systems and behaviors can result if the suggestions are well phrased and offered sincerely and sensitively. Hypnotherapy is an opportunity for people to effect changes in themselves, to create the life and world they desire, to let go of modes of thinking and acting that no longer serve them and to take time for themselves to just relax and feel good."

http://www.naturalhealthweb.com/articles/gayewilson1.html


VISION CARE - "Mind/Body medicine is based on the fact that our health and well-being depends
on all the individual parts to work together effectively. So it should come as no surprise that healthy eyesight is also dependent upon our total well-being, which is affected by our genetic makeup, the food we eat, our work environment and exposure to airborne toxins, as well as our general belief systems about ourselves and the world we live in. Each of us is unique and literally takes the world in through our senses, primarily through our vision. Many believe the way we take in the world is, to some degree, a reflection of who we are and which symptoms we might manifest. The integrative approach evaluates the person's lifestyle, habits, diet, exercise routine, and stress management, along with the family history, in determining a therapeutic approach."

*** BOOK REVIEW -- The Thyroid Solution : A Mind-Body Program for Beating Depression and Regaining Your Emotional and Physical Health by Ridha Arem***
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------


One in ten Americans suffers from thyroid dysfunction, yet most don't realize the mental and emotional components of this condition. "This is the first book to explain the hidden suffering that many patients have difficulty expressing and the first book to provide new ways of helping address and heal this suffering," promises author Ridha Arem, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and chief of endocrinology and metabolism at Ben Taub General Hospital, both in Houston, Texas. This book explains the link between stress and thyroid imbalance; how thyroid imbalance affects your emotions, sex life, and relationships; and how to cope with the effects of this imbalance. Because thyroid problems primarily strike women, a whole section deals with women's health issues, such as infertility, miscarriage, postpartum depression, premenstrual syndrome, and menopause. Another section provides practical tools, such as   evaluating lab tests and self-diagnosis t!
 echniques, dealing with treatment
