Which Alternative Cold Medicines Work?
"On the average, Americans get two to six colds a year. While there's still no cure,
there are a host of alternative remedies -- at least that offer to be remedies -- out
there..On the first day of the cold is the time when you would take one of these
alternative remedies that we have right here. Right here, we have zinc and Echinacea
preparations. In the United States, we spend $400 million on these -- very popular."

"Study Suggests New Option for Women With Abnormal Pap Tests
For the two million American women a year who have ambiguous or borderline abnormal
results on the Pap test, which is used to screen for cervical cancer, a new study by the
National Cancer Institute may ease the confusion about what to do next. In a study
of 3,500 women with borderline Pap results, researchers found that a highly reliable way
to identify women who needed treatment was to perform a subsequent test, to look for
the human papilloma virus, or H.P.V. That virus, which is sexually transmitted, causes
most cases of cervical cancer."
"Hormone-therapy risks found Women on hormone-replacement therapy who have high blood
pressure and a certain genetic abnormality may have a dramatically increased risk of
having a heart attack, Seattle scientists have found. A new study by University of
Washington researchers found that postmenopausal women with an abnormal blood-clotting
gene have nearly 11 times greater risk of having a nonfatal heart attack if they take the
hormones and have hypertension."

Health & Science: Researchers question safety of cigarette alternatives
"Anti-smoking therapies and modified tobacco products may reduce the danger of
smoking but not enough is known about their use to be certain, a research panel
said Thursday. A variety of products have come on the market in recent years,
promoted to help people stop smoking or reduce tobacco usage. These range from nicotine
replacement gum, patches, inhalers and nasal spray to cigarette-like products that
produce less smoke and even modified tobacco with fewer toxic chemicals. About 48
million Americans smoke, a practice that kills 400,000 each year.
Smoking causes heart disease and lung diseases like emphysema and lung cancer and
increases people's risks of other cancers."

Predicting Obesity
Simple Blood Test May Identify Risk
"A simple blood test may soon be able to predict which youngsters are likely to grow
up to have weight problems, researchers reported Monday. Scientists say such a test
already works in lab rats, revealing which ones will become obese if given access to the
rodent equivalent of limitless hamburgers, potato chips and fried chicken.
Whether such a test will work in people remains to be proven
However, researchers say they are amazed at how similar the underlying machinery of
appetite and weight gain are in rats and people. "I think something like
this could be applied to the human situation," said Dr. Sarah Leibowitz of
Rockefeller University in New York.
She presented her research Monday at a meeting of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science. Fat Diet May Make You Hungrier. Her research involves the
link between high-fat food and weight gain. She and other scientists believe that too much
fat in the diet - probably anything more than 30 percent of the day's intake of calories -
triggers weight gain by prompting the body to store new fat and making it crave still more
fat to eat. While such a system may have helped people survive when food was
chronically scarce, it leads to rampant obesity when fat-loaded food and sugary soft
drinks are cheap and available everywhere. "For humans, the
overabundance of food is a very recent problem, just in the past few hundred years,"
said Dr. Joel Elmquist of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "The body
is designed to store as much energy as possible."

lungs down through your diaphragm (lower abdomen)

from your chest or from your diaphragm
6) If you already breathe from your diaphragm, congratulations!.

GLYCONUTRITIONALS - THE CUTTING EDGE DISCOVERY THAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO IGNORE
"Scientists have found 300-400 measurable toxins in our bodies today that were not
found in our bodies in 1940. They have also found there to be a lowering of immune
function, measured by the decrease in number of natural killer cells at the rate of 3% per
year. In addition, there has been a dramatic increase in all types of autoimmune diseases,
of which traditional medicine has no effective treatment, such as chronic fatigue
syndrome, fibromyalgia, hepatitis C, lupus, and many others. The increase in cancer cases
is truly alarming. And, what about e-coli, rapidly mutating flu viruses and the resurgence
of a drug-resistant tuberculosis? What can we do to protect ourselves and our loved
ones? We all know about vitamins, minerals and herbs, but what are Glyconutrients?"

*** BOOK REVIEW -- Ask a Nurse : From Home Remedies to Hospital Care
by Geraldine Bednash (Editor), Nursing American College (Editor), American ass, Polly
Bednash (Editor) ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the hospital or at the doctor's office, it's the nurses whom patients trust to answer
their questions simply, directly, and understandably. So who better to provide inside
information about how to manage common health conditions, apply simple home treatments,
and make the most of the health care system? Compiling the expertise of 550 nursing
schools and 100 nurses nationwide, Ask a Nurse is a one-of-a-kind quick-reference book of
invaluable hands-on treatment and healing tips. Every word in it has been written by
nurses: nurses who practice nursing, nurses who teach it, nurses who spend all their days
working with and caring for patients. They know what works and what doesn't; they can tell
you when you need a doctor's care and what you can do yourself.
Ask a Nurse focuses on the everyday complaints -- acne, allergies, cuts and scrapes,
diarrhea, flu, hemorrhoids, insomnia, stress, and more -- that you can most easily treat
yourself, at home in most cases. Arranged alphabetically, the entries explain common
conditions, list detailed symptoms, and offer top-to-bottom treatment "menus,"
featuring everything from effective over-the-counter medications to tried-and-true home
remedies and self-care. Alternative and herbal therapies are included: readers will learn,
for instance, that devil's claw can ease arthritis pain, tea tree oil can relieve
athlete's foot, and a tea bag can reduce swelling.
The nurses address men's, women's, and children's unique health issues separately, with
special attention paid to identifying and treating addictions and eating disorders;
showing what type of contraception to use and how to avoid sexually transmitted diseases;
and highlighting when infertility and sexual dysfunction can be handled at home. The
nurses also present a complete guide to consumer rights, dispensing tips on how to make a
hospital stay more comfortable, choose a reliable pharmacist, put together a home medical
kit, and finally, decide when a living will or do-not-resuscitate order is appropriate.
With easy-to-find reader-friendly boxes and charts supplementing the A-Z
directory of everyday ailments, Ask a Nurse offers readers all the comfort, care, and
reassuring practical advice for which nurses have always been known. With 100 nurses
putting their names to their personal tricks of the trade, this book provides the insider
information that you can use to make w!
