Burned Out? What Next?

by Dr. Pincott, Published January 11, 2012 in the North Island MidWeek

Lately I have been seeing more and more women in the 30- to 50-year-old range who present with a chronic fatigue like symptoms and no stamina to handle stress. They complain of anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, mood swings and depression but they want to avoid prescription medications that have either not been effective or have too many side effects. Jane, age 42, was an example. Her MD had prescribed Celexa, but she didn't like the side effects. Read Dr. Pincott's regime to help recharge Jane >> http://www.hans.org/186-by-ingrid-pincott-nd

What Did They Do in the Old Days?

One member remembers! A long-time HANS member and herbalist from the east coast of Canada has put together a website to share some old-fashioned (from her grandmother, etc.), home remedies with other HANS members. Her website was created at the insistence of her friends, family and clients--they felt this information is important to share. Her name is Betty, and here is her website >> http://www.bettyshomeremedies.ca

This is for information only, and if something is serious, you should be consulting your health practitioner for their advice.

Book Review: Sarah's Last Wish: a chilling glimpse into forced medicine

In his book review, Daan Spijer, an award-winning writer and past CEO of the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, says: "[Author] Eve Hillary is a masterful storyteller and this book is a fine tribute to a courageous girl and her family and a powerful condemnation of professional incompetence and negligence, unethical behaviour and bureaucratic excesses ... Sarah died, aged thirteen, on 25 October 2004, the victim of a system which was originally set up to support children like her."

Supplements: The Real Story

by Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, January 17, 2012

Natural or Synthetic? Foods or Tablets?
It's a nutritional Catch 22: The public is told, confusingly: "Vitamins are good, but vitamin supplements are not. Only vitamins from food will help you. So just eat a good diet. Do not take supplements! But by the way, there is no difference between natural and synthetic vitamins." Find out what the real story is >> http://www.hans.org/185-omns-on-natural-or-synthetic...
