The Power Of Cats To Keep You Alive
You may know about the power of dogs to help people who are sick recover faster and reduce stress, now researchers have shown the power of cats to help prevent heart attack and stroke. Researchers at the University of Minnesota examined data on 4,435 people and found that people who owned cats were 30 to 40% less likely to die of cardiovascular disease than people who don’t own cats. Dogs didn’t have that protective effect. You can read more about the study at:

The Mind Has The PowerTo Heal Even When Under Anesthesia
In his book, Be Careful What You Pray For, Larry Dossey reported that the human mind has the ability to “hear” suggestions made while patients are under general anesthesia during back surgery. In the study conducted at a Chicago hospital, towards the end of the surgery, while the patient was still asleep, surgeons used the patient’s name and said that the operation had gone well and that the patient would be flat on their back for a few days. Patients also were told that while they were waiting to recover, it would be a good idea if they would relax the muscles in the pelvic area. This was to help them to urinate, so they wouldn’t need a catheter.
The most common complication following this type of surgery is the inability to urinate voluntarily, and the solution requires the insertion of a urinary catheter, which has its own potential for complications. The results achieved by patients whose surgeons had made these suggestions were impressive. Not a single patient given the suggestion required a catheter after surgery while more than half those in the control group needed catheterization. So…Doc, whisper some great thoughts about my healing when you’re done with the surgery.
Integrative Medicine Is Finally Getting Respect
Integrative medicine brings together not only the medical side but also the psychological, spiritual and lifestyle elements to heal a patient. Even the highly regarded M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas has an integrative facility called Place of Wellness. Place of Wellness is at the forefront of integrative medicine, using well-researched alternative treatments such as meditation, yoga, acupuncture, healing touch and herbal therapy to improve the quality of a patient’s life. All this results in the lessening of stress, depression, pain and fatigue in the patient.
For example, one recent study by the Cancer Treatment Centers of America found that after six months of receiving integrated care, which included taking green tea extract, melatonin and high-potency vitamins, 65% of pancreatic cancer patients reported manageable pain levels, as opposed to only 22% of patients who did not receive integrative care. In addition more than a third of the integrative patients reported lower levels of fatigue.
In another study, presented at an American Society of Clinical Oncology Conference, it was found that stage-three pancreatic cancer patients who received a range of alternative therapies along with aggressive chemotherapy had a median survival rate of nearly double those of patients who only received chemo.
Other top medical institutions starting or expanding integrative-care programs include the Cleveland Clinic, Columbia University Medical Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Duke University Medical Center and the Mayo Clinic. So…now’s the time to demand integrative therapy to compliment your regular treatment.

What I Teach Helps In Tough Times
I recently received an email from Shawn Whitehead who is not only a subscriber but has also booked me several times to speak to her company, Builder’s First Choice. She had just watched the TV appearances I did on CBS' Virginia This Morning and emailed me these comments: “Congratulations on your TV appearances – that’s fantastic! I’m using a lot of the techniques I learned from you to keep my energy up during these tough times.”

Vitamin C Reduces Strokes
A 10-year study of more than 20,600 British men and women showed that those with the highest blood levels of Vitamin C had a 42% reduction in the risk of a stroke. The researchers found that a Vitamin C blood level of 66 mmol per liter reduced the likelihood of stroke for the individual. The average American’s level is 43 mmol per liter. To reach this level, you might want to consider eating 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables as well as taking 1,000 mg of Vitamin C per day.

Got Allergy Problems In Your Bedroom? Wash Your Sheets
A South Korean study found that your sniffling in bed may be due to dust mites. The researchers found that washing sheets in 140 degree water killed 100% of the dust mites. If you wash the sheets at the warm water setting, only 65% of the dust mites will be killed. In addition, you should wash your pillow 4 times a year to keep the dust mites at bay.
Using Low Frequency Current To Reduce Pain
Using Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) equipment, a practitioner can direct a very low frequency current to areas of the body that are in pain. The current can be adjusted to any type of body tissue or pain, whether caused by fibromyalgia, tendonitis or other injuries to the body. The microcurrent causes a dramatic increase in the cells’ energy production and a reduction in inflammation, delivering a major level of pain relief. To find a practitioner, go to www.frequencyspecific.com.
A Drug To Help Us Be Smarter And Maybe Avoid Alzheimer’s
The drug is called Piracetam, from a class of substances known as nootropics. It’s considered a smart drug, enhancing memory and learning as well as protecting the brain from physical and chemical injuries.
In many countries, Piracetam is used as a supplement to treat such things as dyslexia, head injuries, alcohol withdrawal, cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer’s and stroke-related dementia. The neat thing about Piracetam is that it is nontoxic and when used correctly has no sedative, stimulating or behavior-altering effects.
A study published in 2001 followed 104 patients with Alzheimer’s who were in cognitive decline. Within a few weeks of starting Piracetam, nearly all of the study subjects, regardless of severity or duration of the disease, had significant improvements, especially in memory and concentration-psychomotor speed. It was effective in the patients who also had depression.
While Piracetam is not approved as a drug by the FDA, you can educate yourself about and order the supplement legally from Smart Nutrition at www.smartnutrition.info. Some studies indicate that you should also take choline with Piracetam, which you can purchase at any health food store. So…get it and don’t forget it!
