Only someone who never played a round of golf would call it useless for exercise. If you walk the full course and carry your own clubs golf is a fine way to exercise.

The Lower Blood Pressure Course is 6 CDs and a Booklet. Its called BreathEasy, Classical plus SonoSynth. Interactive Breathing With Music. Combining Two Powerful Methods For Relaxation and Lower Blood Pressure. You use the program for 15 mins a day for 4 to 6 weeks. 3CDs are famous classical pieces, 3CDs are ambient soundscapes. These could be used... See More for those having trouble sleeping also instead of sleeping pills. Anyone having side effects from blood pressure meds or does not want to use them, should give the program a try. I do not recall the authors name. I picked the set up on ebay a couple of years ago. Anyone into Music and Sound Healing its worth checking it out. Does not cost much at all compared to hard meds. The Greeks, Romans, Chinease and Eygptions all knew music and breathing could be used to calm down and lower blood pressure. And that the hearbeat speeded up or slowed down according to the tempo of music playing or played. For more on this see my healingmusic.net website or the sound healing section in my new singing book.

Many sciencetists and researchers for decades have claimed that fruits and vegtables scream when you pick them and eat them. So anyone who eats at a salad bar is a salad serial killer or I guess it should be salad ceral killer. After all Sugar Pops talk when you eat them :)

Monterey Bay Holistic Alliance Tough Guy, Clint Eastwood, Admits He Cries and Does Yoga - http://bit.ly/4zeMd2 - The Oscar-winner says that, while he still pumps iron, he also meditates twice a day.
"It works great," Eastwood says. "Because it just gives you a chance to gather your thoughts. "I'm religious about it when I'm working."

And while he wor...ks up a sweat on the elliptical trainer for half an hour every day, he is not too macho to do a few yoga sessions with his wife Dina Eastwood. "[In the evening] I'll pump some iron," he says. "And I stretch. Sometimes my wife and I go on vacation and she'll wanna do a yoga class, and Ill say: 'Yeah, I'll take it with you'."

When his 12-year-old daughter's cockatoo drowned in his fountain, he wasn't ashamed to cry. "But it was a good bird.
And my 12-year-old loved it, and so did Dina. I'd drive all the way
from Monterey to Los Angeles and I'd bring the bird, have him sitting
on my shoulder..."

Monterey Bay Holistic Alliance Why Women Are More Depressed Than Men - http://bit.ly/3Qnesl -On average, approximately 18.8 million American adults, or about 9.5 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year, have been diagnosed with depression. Nearly twice as many women (12 percent) as men (6.6 percent) are affected by a depress...ive disorder each year. These figures translate to 12.4 million women and 6.4 million men in the U.S. It's important to note, however, that depression is not a "normal part of being a woman" nor is it a "female weakness." There is no single cause of depression. There are many reasons why a woman may become depressed. These include......(more ) http://bit.ly/3Qnesl

Monterey Bay Holistic Alliance Homeopathic firm working to deal with FDA warnings - by John Douglas - http://bit.ly/RN10Z - 11/11/2009 - Washington Homeopathic Products was officially warned about its promotion of Influenzinum in a letter dated October 6. Due to the swine flu pandemic, the FDA has been cracking down on manufacturers that are making... unproven claims that t...heir products can treat or prevent flu. Washington Homeopathic has changed their packaging and website information to say Influenzinum is simply “for flu-like symptoms.” Influenzinum is made by several other alternative health companies in addition to Washington Homeopathic Products. The FDA’s warning letter also instructed the Berkeley Springs firm to stop making similar treatment or prevention claims for other products, though only Influenzinum was specifically named. http://bit.ly/RN10Z

Monterey Bay Holistic Alliance Health Reports On Visco Foam And Buckwheat Hull Pillows http://bit.ly/1Ev3Zs - Medical benefits of these pillows are still subject to debate and testing. Some reports say that buckwheat pillows trigger allergies. People with grain allergies are not generally bothered by hulls. Allergic reactions to buckwheat hulls are ...unlikely (1 to 5% of the Earth's population suffers from this rare form of allergy, according to specialists) and can be avoided if dust and flour is completely removed from the hulls before they're introduced in the pillow. Many customer say in their reviews that a Tempur-Pedic neck pillow has helped with apnea. There is no solid evidence to back this up, which is why doctors are still skeptical about recommending or not memory foam pillows....(more)

Monterey Bay Holistic Alliance When East meets West: Why consumers turn to alternative medicine http://bit.ly/mFIK5 -Based on a series of experiments and surveys in the United States, China, and India, the authors found that consumers prefer TCM (over Western medicine) when uncertain about the cause of an illness (i.e., diagnosis uncertainty) -- bec...ause a holistic medicine tolerates uncertainty better than Western Medicine. Similarly, consumers prefer TCM (over Western medicine) because of lay beliefs that TCM offers an underlying cure (versus symptom alleviation by Western Medicine).

ScienceDaily (Nov. 17, 2009) - Alternative health remedies are increasingly important in the health care marketplace. A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research explores how consumers choose among the many available remedies.

Monterey Bay Holistic Alliance Teens more likely to cross-contaminate raw food than adults http://bit.ly/1aw5eH - A Kansas State University study has shown that when preparing frozen foods, adolescents are less likely than adults to wash their hands and are more susceptible to cross-contaminating raw foods while cooking.

"While half of the adults we ...observed washed their hands after touching raw chicken, none of the adolescents did," said Casey Jacob, a food safety research assistant at K-State. "The non-existent hand washing rate, combined with certain age-specific behaviors like hair flipping and scratching in a variety of areas, could lead directly to instances of cross-contamination compared to the adults."
