Refuel:
Bring Sleep into Your Night
NEW!
by Ashley Koff, RD, and Kathy
Kaehler
Life as a mom is a
shapeless blob of happy chaos. ~ Julia Roberts
What your body does from
the time it slips into bed to the time it wakes you up might have more to
do with your energy metabolism than you realize. New findings in sleep
medicine are currently revolutionizing how we think about the value sleep
brings to our lives.
For so many moms we
interviewed for this book, sleep ranked high on the list of priorities.
Chaka Khan calls sleep “the key to a great energy balance”; Julia
Roberts admits that any extra sleep she can get helps counterbalance the
“mom struggle” that naturally accompanies having time thieves running
around her house. Most of us just don’t get the sleep we need. Sleep
deprivation is epidemic. And let’s face it: When we’re sleep-deprived,
moody, and things don’t go our way, we can begin to go down that dreaded
path that ends in depressive thoughts or a full-blown depression.

Cooking Oil is a Powerful Virus-Destroyer and Antibiotic
by Dr. Joseph Mercola NEW!
You've no doubt noticed that for about the last 60 years the majority
of health care officials and the media have been telling you saturated
fats are bad for your health and lead to a host of negative consequences,
like elevated cholesterol, obesity, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.
Meanwhile during this same 60 years the American levels of heart disease,
obesity, elevated serum cholesterol and Alzheimer's have skyrocketed
compared to our ancestors, and even compared to modern-day primitive
societies using saturated fat as a dietary staple.

Are
Vaccinations Good Parenting?
by Jesse Cannone
While shopping near the kids section of a clothing store last week, a
brochure caught my eye. The front was adorned with a very large picture of
a baby caught in wide-eyed surprise. The title read, “Whooping cough
sounds scary. Promise me you’ll get vaccinated.”
As a father of 8, you can bet your britches I want to protect my kids’
health. But here’s what gets me. This brochure, purporting to be a
helpful public health service, is published by Sanofi Pasteur - one of the
largest vaccine manufacturers in the world. No conflict of interest there,
right?

Avoid These 7 Foods
and You're Off To A Healthier New Year
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
1. Canned Tomatoes
The expert: Fredrick vom Saal, PhD, an endocrinologist at the University
of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A
The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen
that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to
heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Acidity -- a prominent
characteristic of tomatoes -- causes BPA to leach into your food.
2. Corn-Fed Beef
The expert: Joel Salatin, co-owner of Polyface Farms and author of books
on sustainable farming
Cattle were designed to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed
their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for
slaughter. A recent comprehensive study found that compared with corn-fed
beef, grass-fed beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, omega-3s,
conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

How
Probiotics May Stop Stomach Pains, Alleviate Esophagus Problems &
Control Stomach Acid
by Michael Richard Burke, M.A
Louis Pasteur was the Mick Jaeger of nineteenth century science. And,
rightly so.
But, rock star that he was, he made the words "bacteria" and
"bacterial" synonymous with disease. This misconception is
still with us today. The truth is that some bacteria can actually help you
alleviate esophagus related problems, stop stomach pains and control
stomach acid.

Coconut Oil: A Miracle Food
by Bruce Fife, ND
The quality of the food we eat has an enormous impact on our state of health. The healthier our foods are, the healthier we are. For this reason, it is important that we eat the foods that provide the most benefit. Some foods are good because they are loaded with vitamins and minerals as well as fiber. A few are classified as functional foods because they provide health benefits beyond their nutritional content. These foods have therapeutic value that can protect us from many common health problems.

Controlling Intestinal Gas Naturally
by Rita Louise
Intestinal gas, flatulence, farting or breaking wind is a natural part of the digestive process. This odorless gas, although at times embarrassing, is the result of good digestion. Every day our body produces one to three pints of gas that is ultimately passed. Intestinal gas is made up of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. If we notice an unpleasant smell, it is because the gas contains other compounds, including hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.

____________________ The Healing Power of Your Next Meal
by Charles Remington
Early man has known that his Creator has made provision for healing dating
back five thousand years ago. The first recorded writings of Indian
culture called The Veda's document, man's knowledge of healing through
nutrition. Bible scriptures from thirty-five hundred years ago show man
divinely inspired to write, "God would bless his food and water and
take sickness from among them" (Exodus 23:25). As a nutritionist, I
have witnessed thousands of patients be restored to health from disorders
ranging from gastric disturbances, intestinal conditions, type II
diabetes, hypertension, obesity and more through proper nutrition. By
developing a healthy nutritional lifestyle, we can bring balance and
harmony back to our human existence and it can begin with the next meal

Understanding Breast Cancer: Tips For Wellness
by Dr. Rita Louise
Our body is made up thousands of cells that differ in size, shape and function. Controlled by our DNA, each cell is programmed to
perform certain tasks and after a specified period of time - die. This is normally done in an orderly manner. However, if our
cells are exposed to carcinogens, viruses or ionizing radiation, for example, the DNA can become damaged creating havoc with this
once orderly process. Said another way, if the rate of new cell growth in the body overcomes the rate of cell death, tumors can
develop. If these cells invade and destroy surrounding normal tissues, the abnormal cell growth is considered to be cancerous.

Seven Simple Brain
Promoting Nutritional Tips
by Daniel G. Amen, M.D.
Here is the seven step plan to get your diet under control and to use food
as brain medicine.
1. Increase water intake
Given that your brain is about 80% water, the first rule of brain
nutrition is adequate water to hydrate your brain. Even slight dehydration
can raise stress hormones which can damage your brain over time. Drink at
least 84 ounces of water a day. It is best to have your liquids unpolluted
with artificial sweeteners, sugar, caffeine, or alcohol. You can use
herbal, non-caffeinated tea bags, such as raspberry or strawberry
flavored, and make unsweetened iced tea. Green tea is also good for brain
function as it contains chemicals that enhance mental relaxation and
alertness.

Are You Suffering
From Hypothyroidism?
by Dr. Rita Louise
When someone is experiencing hypothyroidism the thyroid gland is impaired,
producing too little thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism is due primarily to a
dysfunction of the thyroid gland itself. If the thyroid gland is removed,
obviously, the body is unable to produce any thyroid hormone. If the
thyroid is partially removed, it may be able to produce enough hormones
for a while, but over time it can become overworked and burn out. But the
thyroid can also become impaired for many other reasons.

The Art of Ayurvedic Stone Massage
by Karyn Chabot
Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word meaning the ‘science of life’ and the
‘art of being’ or living in harmony with nature. What does the term
shila abyhanga mean? In Sanskrit, ‘shila’ means stone, ‘abhy’
means to rub and ‘anga’ means limb. Together, they form the word for
stone massage. Heated stone massage is a form of thermotherapy, otherwise
known as a form of swedhana, a modality used during pancha karma (internal
and external rejuvenation and detoxification of the body, mind and
spirit). Shila abyhanga dates back thousands of years and can be traced to
the ancient healing traditions of almost every culture. One of the most
popular ways to use heated stones in India is to wrap them, along with
herbs, in a warm, moist cloth, creating a poultice. This poultice can be
applied locally for joint or muscle pain. Large, flat warm stones, used
with warm oil, can be glided across tight muscles. The ingestion of
specially prepared ashes of specific gemstones can be used for healing and
reducing all three doshas. Diamonds, rubies, and emeralds were crushed,
heated, prepared, and ingested exclusively by the royalty of India long
ago as part of pancha karma.

It brings a sense of freshness into your home or workplace, costs nothing and is one of the best stress relievers known. In medical terms it is called “eustress” because it has the opposite effects to stress.

Getting Rid Of Gallstones Naturally
by Dr. Rita Louise
The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ that sits on the right side
of our bodies just beneath the liver. Its primary function is to store and
secrete bile. Bile is a yellow-brown fluid produced by the liver, which
helps us digest fats. Our liver produces up to three cups of bile a day.
Our gallbladder can store up to a cup of bile as it awaits a fatty
meal. When we eat, our gallbladder contracts and pushes bile into the
small intestines where it helps with the digestion of fats. Bile is made
up of water, cholesterol, fats, bile salts, proteins and bilirubin. Under
certain conditions, substances in the bile, especially the cholesterol or
bile pigment (bilirubin) can harden into stones – gallstones.

Breathe Freely By Removing Excess Mucus
From the Body
Robert Elias Najemy
The quantity and quality of the air we take into our lungs is affected to some degree by the amount of mucus, which obstructs the passages of the respiratory system. Also, when there is excess mucus congesting these passageways, there is also a greater possibility for the growth of microbes.
A certain amount of mucus lining is necessary for the protection of the membranes of the respiratory and digestive systems. It serves as a fluid transportation system, which also carries microbes and foreign particles out of the body.

Healing Urinary Tract
Infections Naturally
by Dr. Rita Louise
A urinary tract infection is an infection of the kidneys, bladder or
urethra. In most cases, it is brought on by the introduction of the
E. Coli bacteria into the urethra. This can cause inflammation or
infection. For example, when this bacteria travels up the urethra to the
bladder, it is the #1 cause of bladder infections. While the E. Coli
bacteria is the most common cause of urinary tract infections, bacteria

You're only in your mid-thirties and you

by Marcellus A. Walker and Kenneth B. Singleton
In our age of "political

people on the basis of race. But, however unpopular it may be, when it
comes to health, race really does matter. It matters because African
Americans are more likely than people of other races to die a premature
death. According to the statisticians, there is an 8.5year difference in
the median survival rate between white and black males and a 5.9-year gap
between white and black females.

Candida:
The Twentieth Century Epidemic
by Linda Richardson, Nurse
/ Herbalist
Candida albicans is a type of yeast-like
fungus or parasite that inhabits the intestine, genital tract, mouth and
throat. Normally this fungus lives in healthy balance with the other
bacteria and yeasts in the body. Predisposing factors such as the
prolonged or repeated use of antibiotics, steroid drugs, anti-cancer
drugs, or birth control pills, and conditions such as diabetes or
menopause as well as the overall state of your health can disturb this
balance. These conditions cause the fungus to multiply, weakening the
immune system.

These compounds are highly reactive and have the potential to damage DNA,

risks outweighed its benefits, headlines now read "Menopause is not a
disease, but a normal part of life." Hormone "replacement"
