    Hi [fname] This month we have some great articles to share with you along with several new products that we have added to the OAW products page. Be sure to check them out. One of the biggest hurdles in achieving good health is just “doing it.” Decisions are easy but action can sometimes be the highest hurdle of all. Why? Because it involves getting out of our comfort zone. The reasons for this are many and are usually not reasons at all, but excuses. Time, money, low energy levels, responsibilities, tiredness, stress, etc. all end up in the excuse pile at some time or another. Observation says that most of us have no problem making time for what we really want to do. So when someone says that they don’t have time, an accurate translation would be: I don’t really want to do this right now. The solution? After the decision to change is made then begin immediately by implementing two or three good health habits that are easy. This might include walking every afternoon or during your lunch hour, going to bed before 11:00 p.m., cutting back on caffeine by half, eliminating sugar, packing a healthy lunch instead of eating out, making sure that you get sunshine every day, etc. After 2-3 weeks, pick 2-3 more health habits to implement. It takes roughly 21 days to change a habit. These seemingly small health changes will begin to reap huge health successes. For more info about Jump Starting your Health click here. A quick but urgent reminder to please refer back to the February issue of Advanced Health & Wellness and take five minutes to give your comments to the FDA about Wyeth Pharmaceutical’s attempt to take away the option of natural hormone therapy without a prescription—namely natural progesterone. The deadline is April 6, 2006. Natural progesterone has helped literally thousands of women who experience hormonal imbalance to get their body back into balance. But more importantly it is safe, natural and healing to the body. A huge welcome to all our new subscribers! We are adding weekly to the OAW Education Center and also to the OAW Health & Wellness Forum. If you have questions about anything, please go to the Ask The Doctor section on the forum. We will be glad to respond within 24-48 hours. Of course, you can always email us or telephone us with your questions. We encourage you to pass Advanced Health & Wellness on to your friends and family! Have a wonderful March! Spring officially arrives next week! Enjoy the freshness of starting a new.

Talk to anyone over a certain age and they will joke about senior moments — lapses in memory. Underlying the humor is a fear of developing Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia.

[ read more ]  · If the best defense of chemotherapy that orthodox oncology can come up with is that it may actually be effective for 5 or 6 percent of cancer patients, rather than merely 2 percent, then surely it is high time for a radical reassessment of the widespread use of this toxic modality in cancer treatment. Either figure - 2 percent or 6 percent - will come as a shock to most patients offered this type of treatment, and ought to generate serious doubt in the minds of oncologists as to the ethics of offering chemotherapy without explicitly warning patients of its unlikely prospects for success.—Dr. Ralph Moss – cancerdecisions.com. · The Environmental Protection Agency has approved 80,000 chemicals for consumer use, said Dr. Leonardo Trasande, assistant director at the Center for Children's Health and the Environment at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

NVIC opposed mandatory use of chicken pox vaccine when it was licensed in 1995 because 99.99 percent of all healthy children recovered from chicken pox without permanent effects and obtained a qualitatively superior immunity that was boosted throughout life by contact with young children with chicken pox. Because chicken pox has been removed from the childhood population through mass vaccination and no boosting is taking place to reinforce naturally acquired immunity, older children and adults are now vulnerable to shingles. There is an epidemic of shingles in America today. Drug companies are now developing a shingles vaccine to deal with the effects of mass use of chicken pox vaccine. –BL Fisher - NVIC. · Lead author Chensheng Lu of Emory University found that when kids eat organic foods, pesticides in their body plummet to undetectable levels -- even when following the diet for only five days.
