Vitamin C pills may worsen cancer
New research suggests that Cancer patients who take large doses of vitamin C might
actually make their disease worse by unintentionally protecting their tumors from
radiation and chemotherapy.
Men, no need for boxer shorts. The myth that tighter underwear may threaten men's
virility is being disputed in a new study that shows that the average sperm counts from
American men has not changed over the past 50 years. Research gynecologists are
studying "site specific" massage as a non-surgical infertility treatment. They
joined with a physical therapy group that reports promising results using "hands
on" physical therapy and massage to treat some types of female infertility.

Salmonella infections increased 20 percent from 1998 to 1999. There have been
several outbreaks of the disease in the Pacific Northwest over the past two years, tracing
recent cases to unpasteurized orange juice, imported mangos and raw sprouts.
*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANTIOXIDANT SOURCE - ONIONS!!! Antioxidants are compounds that help delay or
slow
the oxidative damage to cells and tissue of the body . Onions, which contain
quercetin therefore may provide many health benefits. The anti-platelet activity
provided by onions may help those who consume with the avoidance of gastric ulcers,
cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke.
PREVENTING DIABETES - Practice Chinese self massage every morning by stimulating the
acupoints on the body and limbs to help promote the flow of qi and blood in the channels.
See 11 more tips for preventing diabetes at http://www.naturalhealthweb.com/articles/Kuchinski.html
SALAD - Although eating salad can be part of a healthy daily diet, beware of the
dressing!!! We often do not realize how a perfectly healthy, low-calorie salad can
be sabotaged with a fattening dressing. While the average salad dressing contains 75
calories per Tablespoon, (and who only puts on one tablespoon?), a positive alternative
for refreshing flavor would be to squeeze a fresh lemon, lime or tangerine onto your
salad.
JET LAG? - No one is exactly sure why jet lag occurs. Perhaps it is a phenomenon
that confuses your pituitary gland (the master endocrine gland) and the pineal gland
by abnormal changes in exposure to daylight. In any event, acupressure does seem to be
able to control jet lag symptoms. Recently, an informal study was conducted by a
group of acupuncturists that were traveling from the United States to China. They divided
into two groups. One group acted as a control and went about their normal business. The
other group used acupressure treatments on their HORARY POINTS while traveling. The
control group experienced jet lag symptoms lasting from 3 days to 2 weeks. The group that
treated themselves with acupressure experienced no jet lag symptoms at all; in fact, they
could perform at normal levels immediately. On the return trip, the groups switched and
the results were similar. (Excerpt from article by Thomas Stearns Lee, N.M.D)

*** BOOK REVIEW - Miracle Cures : Dramatic New Scientific Discoveries Revealing the
Healing Powers of Herbs, Vitamins, and Other Natural Remedies by Jean Carper ***
----------------------------------------------------------------
For a growing number of Americans, the time for alternative medicine has come . Miracle
Cures, written by CNN's former senior medical correspondent, highlights several of the
most exciting natural remedies currently under investigation. There's St. John's Wort
(also called hypericum), which has proven effective in combating depression; gingko
biloba, a circulation-enhancer that retards Alzheimer's and other age-related memory
problems; grapefruit fiber, which combats cholesterol; and many others. All of the
compounds and alternative treatments listed in Miracle Cures are regularly practiced in
Europe, Asia, or both.
So why aren't they used in the United States? Carper points out that since "nature
owns the patent," there's little financial incentive for American pharmaceutical
companies to investigate natural compounds. Secondly, most American doctors are simply
unaware of the testing that has been done on these techniques; most research has been done
by non-English speaking physicians and written up in foreign journals. Responsibly toting
up the risks and benefits of each, Carper is hoping for a sensible integration of natural
remedies into American medicine.
