Keeping The TV Off May Lead To More Happiness
Late last year University of Maryland researchers published an analysis concerning what makes us happy and unhappy in the journal Social Indicators Research. Some of the activities reported by very happy people were spending time socializing, going to church and reading newspapers. Watching TV didn’t make the activity list of happy people. Instead, it made the list of activities of unhappy people. Unhappy people did it more!

So…if you’re a heavy TV watcher, make sure you engage in more of the happiness activities.

Options For Stopping Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a debilitating affliction that causes tremors in the body, which can make it impossible to get around. According to Dr. Julian Whitaker, his clinic has been having great success for years using intravenous (IV) glutathione and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). By using both therapies, many of his patients, after a few treatments, go from needing a walker or cane to being able to walk without aid.

It turns out that Parkinson’s sufferers have dangerously low levels of glutathione in parts of the brain. While oral glutathione cannot get into the brain, intravenous glutathione can.

Whitaker also uses HBOT because it floods the brain with oxygen which slows neuronal degeneration, mobilizes rejuvenating stem cells and enhances the growth of new blood vessels in damaged areas.

How Much Aspirin Should You Take As A Preventative
It’s now recognized by doctors that daily low doses of aspirin can be safe and effective for most people to reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke. Since the recommended dosage ranges from 81 mg to 325 mg per day, it’s important to know the most effective dose for you to take. If you take a dose too low for you, it may not give you the protective benefits, while a too-high dose can lead to side effects such as stomach ulcers.

Well, now you can have a medical test done that will tell you what your dose needs to be. According to Dr. Julian Whitaker, this test, performed by AspirinWorks  measures your urine for a chemical which is a metabolite of thromboxane. Thromboxane is the target of aspirin. Knowing your level of this chemical helps you determine your proper dose of aspirin. For information on this test, go to www.aspirinworks.com.

Using A Dog’s Nose For The Good Of The Environment
Many of you are probably aware of dogs being trained to sniff out drugs, bombs and people trapped in rubble from a disaster. Well, now dogs are being trained to help the environment. As an example, there is a threatened plant in Oregon’s Willamette Valley called Kincaid’s lupine which is key to the survival of an endangered butterfly species that lays its eggs on the leaves of the lupine. Since they are endangered, these plants are hard to find.

So here come the dogs. Ecologists at the Nature Conservancy have trained a dog to sniff out the plant, even when its flowers have long since withered. This ability of the dogs to find these plants will allow specific and systematic protections to be put into place. The dogs are also finding invasive species and even bobcats in New Jersey. So… this is one time you can say things are going to the dogs and really mean it!

Training The Brain To Treat Depression
A professor at Northwestern University, Elsa Telser Baehr, has successfully treated hundreds of patients with neurofeeedback to beat depression. Baehr trains the patient to alter their own moods by manipulating their brain waves. Only 25% of depressed patients are helped by drugs and psychotherapy within a year versus the 75 to 80 percent Baehr helps (many actually begin to feel improvement immediately).

Baehr is successful because she has been able to discern how the brain waves of a depressed person differ from those of a contented person who has a healthy sense of well-being. Over a period of repeated sessions, the patient changes his/her thinking patterns, which brings about lasting changes in the person’s mood and outlook. Her data shows that the retraining holds for 5, 10 and 15 years after treatment.

Just by having a person think of happy or sad thoughts resulted in 70% of the subjects showing changes in brain waves. These brain wave changes then altered emotions and moods.

Neurofeedback also works for other conditions such as ADHD, hypertension, head injuries and anxiety disorders. So…if you go for therapy and your therapist only wants to talk and write a prescription for a drug, it may be time to see if you can find someone in your area that does neurofeedback.

Speaking Of Therapy – The Phone Can Keep You Connected
When you are depressed, it can be difficult to feel like doing anything including going to a therapist. Well, now you can stay at home and pick up the phone! Researchers from Feinberg School of Medicine found that more than 90% of patients who received telephone psychotherapy continued with it, while nearly 50% of those doing face-to-face visits had dropped out. The research also shows that the results from telephone therapy are similar to face-to-face therapy. The study’s author finds that the telephone allows the therapists to reach out to the patient!

Lower Costs For Prescription Drugs
I just received a postcard for major savings in prescription drugs that you could order. The most interesting thing to me about this is that it’s being offered through a vitamin company called Swanson. The examples of savings include Lipitor which regularly retails for $321 and is being offered by Swanson for $146.  If you want to check them out you can call 888-744-8947. If you mention Swanson, you’ll receive an additional $10 off your order. If you decide to use them, let me know what you think.

Harnessing The Power Of The Sun Through Plants
We have the most powerful energy producer on the planet right in front of us. It’s plants! In his book, Eating the Sun: How Plants Power the Planet, Oliver Morton points out the power of chlorophyll in plants. If you think back to your high school biology days, you may remember that chlorophyll takes sunlight and carbon dioxide and turns it into food for the plant and then “exhales” oxygen.

What you might not know is that these chlorophyll molecules don’t just capture the sun’s energy, they also concentrate it. In fact, they are far more efficient at using the energy of the sun than the sun is at making it. Would you believe 100,000 times more efficient? Well, according to Morton, it’s true.

So…just imagine if scientists change their focus from making fuel from corn to duplicating the mechanism of the cell of a leaf. Something so fragile that is also so powerful!

The Impact Of Sunlight On Hospital Patients
Speaking of sunlight, a study published in Psychosomatic Medicine (2005) compared patients healing from spinal surgery who were in a sunny room to those who were in a dimly lit room. The lighter room had 46% more sunlight per day.

Patients in the lighter room needed 28 percent fewer drugs which reduced costs from medications by 21 percent. Those patients also had lower stress levels than patients in the dimmer rooms.

Since the full spectrum fluorescent lighting that I talk about simulates the wavelength of sunlight, and with all the experience our clients have had with it over the years, I would expect similar results in comparing the tubes to being in a sunnier room.
