Health Tips of the Week
- New studies claim that pain can prevent arthritis from healing. The processing of pain in the joint actually contributes to arthritis itself. In the study arthritis progression could be controlled and allow for spontaneous healing if doctors could control the pain at the spinal cord or along the sensory nerves.
- Heart disease and depression are so common that all heart patients should be routinely screened for depression and referred for professional help if necessary, according to new recommendations issued by the American Heart Association.
- In a two-year multicenter study led by University of Utah doctors, the dietary supplements glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate performed no better than placebo in slowing the rate of cartilage loss in the knees of osteoarthritis patients.
- In a new study researchers from the University of Utah find that a warm touch, the non-sexual, supportive kind, reduces stress and blood pressure, adding to a growing body of research on how emotions affect health.
- A new study from the University of Alabama reveals the first-ever genetic link between obesity and colon cancer risk. Exercise, eat right and lose some weight to improve the odds if colon cancer is in the genes.
- Increases in blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk occurring in women after menopause do not result from menopause itself, rather from weight gain as opposed to ovarian failure.
- A new study from researchers at the University of Ottawa shows honey to be effective in killing bacteria that cause chronic sinusitis.

Article of the Week
How to Ease Your Pain
When it comes to pain, we have little patience. The pain seems to intensify and drive our day. Irritability sets in and somehow the pain grows larger than life. Desperate people try desperate measures – even exotic alternatives.  One of my clients, a woman experiencing menopausal hot flashes, tried breathing from the middle of her throat because this is what her previous practitioner told her would solve the problem. “Did it work?” I asked. “No.” She responded with a laugh. Having observed her and listened attentively to her discussion of people who annoyed her, I concluded that stress was causing her to boil over. I suggested that her hot flash surged when her stress triggered the adrenalin rush in her body. She smiled at me, laughed and said, “You are absolutely right! I didn’t realize it. My hot flashes get really bad as soon as I get annoyed! For example, I ride on the railroad to work and people talking on their cell phones really irk me, or when I use the stationary bike at the gym and the three women on treadmills speak behind my back. I feel the heat rise up into my neck and face.”
Recent studies indicate that the mind can drive pain even when the cause has dissipated. more
