History of Mesotherapy
by Harry Adelson
Although the use of intracutaneous injections
for the treatment of chronic pain and acute injury is well regarded
in Europe, the technique is not used much in the US. Safe, cost-effective,
and successful, mesotherapy provides longer-lasting therapeutic
effects and deserves serious consideration.
Curanderismo
by Laurance Johnston, PhD
Healing occurs on many levels and, while conventional medicine concentrates
on the body, the state of a patient's mind and spirit plays
an integral part in overall health. Curanderismo, a supplemental
treatment approach used by Mexican-Americans, recognizes the interdependence
of body, mind, and spirit. Author Laurance Johnston introduces curandersimo
and makes a strong argument for integrating "culturally attuned
methods…into our healing spectrum."
Industrialized History of Asbestos
by Justin Taylor
Almost since the remarkable benefits of asbestos were first discovered,
its use has been controversial. Both miracle and curse, asbestos
has proven a difficult material to abandon. Nonetheless, the mineral's
deadly effects are undeniable, and asbestos production and application
must be more stringently limited.
A Novel Antimicrobial
Towelette
by Bill Misner, PhD
Peppermint oil, basil oil, bay oil, tea tree oil, and clove oil
– the natural antimicrobial substances found in these oils,
when applied via a moist towelette, have been shown to prevent the
growth of aerobic bacteria, yeasts, molds, and fungi on human skin.
A
Blend of Unique Herbs May Have Wide Clinical Application
by Stephen Levine, PhD
A formula composed of herbs used in Traditional Chinese Medicine
has been found to be extraordinarily effective in treating asthma
– improving lung function while also increasing cortisol production.
The success and superior safety and efficacy of anti-asthma herbal
medicine intervention (ASHMI) in recent studies has also sparked
more interest in the use of herbal formulas in other conditions
associated with low cortisol, chronic inflammation, and adrenal
fatigue.
Even
Most Doctors Have Chronic Pain – Who Knew?
by Stephen Kaufman, DC
Facing a tough audience of skeptical doctors, chiropractor Stephen
Kaufman once again demonstrates the remarkable efficacy of his Pain
Neutralization Technique, which addresses extremely tender trigger
points in muscles and promotes relief, often instantly.
Refusal to Vaccinate
Forms Raise Ethical Questions
by Alan Phillips, JD
Parents who elect to forego vaccinations for their children face
several conundrums, among them one that appears to be a solution:
the Refusal to Vaccinate Form. Attorney Alan Phillips takes a hard
look at the ramifications of signing such a form and raises questions
about the form's legality and ethicality.
