Sure, you know garlic and onions are good for you. But with their sometimes-overpowering flavor, the last thing you'd probably expect them to help is your stomach.

But if you think you’re in the clear because you don’t have a bottle of it in your medicine cabinet anymore, you should think again

Start spreading the news Hardly a day goes by that I don’t hear about some “newly discovered” risk of prescription drugs. Well, there’s certainly nothing new about them — the only “new” part is that the mainstream is finally waking up to the fact that drugs have health risks. And with risks like these, it’s [...]

The idea that your diet plays a major role in your health isn't quite such a foreign concept anymore — even in the mainstream.

But now German researchers have found a more visually appealing benefit to cocoa: It's good for you skin.

A number of environmental groups are warning that some sunscreens contain submicroscopic particles that could be hazardous to your health

If you've ever lulled a cranky baby to sleep with a lullaby, you know how soothing music can be. Well, it turns out that it has the same effect on adults.

The Centers for Disease Control recently issued a report that finally brings attention to the dangers associated with medications used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

I know there's a lot of conflicting advice out there about milk.

Q: I’ve seen a lot of advertising and information on the Internet about using neurotransmitters to combat depression, mood disorders, insomnia, and other mental health conditions. There are also laboratories that offer testing for neurotransmitters, along with recommendations for which ones to take based on the outcome of the tests. Even though this seems like very logical testing and treatment, and also seems much preferable to taking pharmaceutical antidepressants, I haven’t seen you write anything about this topic. What is your opinion?

I’m sure many of you have one or more grandkids who have been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) or some other learning disability. And even if you don’t, ADD is a growing problem that you should be aware of-some estimate that as many as one in five U.S. children are on Ritalin-that’s 6 million kids.

It’s the first of its kind: A clinical trial in the U.S. showed that St. John’s wort has a positive effect on depression. And what’s more-the trial showed that it’s significantly better than fluoxetine (Prozac) at relieving the symptoms of this common and widespread condition.

“Carb” has become a “four-letter word”-and for good reason in many cases. Here’s the latest carb pitfall: People who eat higher amounts of carbohydrates have a greater risk of developing a more rapidly progressive form of cataracts.1

Saturated fat gets a lot of blame when it comes to high cholesterol. Carbohydrates come in a close second. While they’re both important factors, they aren’t the only ones to consider. Diets high in saturated fat are responsible for approximately one in five cases of high serum cholesterol, and high carbohydrate intake is responsible for approximately one in three. That still leaves a little less than half of all high serum cholesterol cases unaccounted for.

Many of you have been asking about the status of my run-in with the Washington State “Quality” Assurance Commission. (If you’ll recall, they were concerned about certain completely safe and effective treatments we discussed on the Tahoma Clinic website.) Thank you very much for your concern. Although the “investigation” continues, today I want to tell you who the commission isn’t cracking down on-licensed conventional medical doctors carrying out blatant acts of sexual misconduct.

I first told you about high-gauss magnetic therapy (MME) in the April 2004 issue of Nutrition & Healing. Since then, I’ve given you periodic updates on the treatment and on individuals whose lives have been changed by using it.

Some of the best ways to cut your chances of developing Type II diabetes include eliminating all refined sugar and refined carbo-hydrates, following a relatively high protein diet, and using certain vitamins, minerals, and botanicals…but cutting out your water bottle?

IN THIS ISSUE: Is your water bottle increasing your risk of Type II diabetes?; Neurological recoveries from across the country; Find out if MME treatment is right for you; The hidden high cholesterol culprit you might not be looking for; The four-letter word that could destroy your vision; Better than Prozac (and only half the cost); What to do after you just say NO to Ritalin; A different meaning for “planned parenthood”; A better-and cheaper-way to test and treat the cause of your depression
