Your Life-Your Choice ISSN 1488-0253 June, 2001 Issue 74 Letter From the Editor Many women increase their calcium intake, unaware that the body also requires magnesium. The body keeps the two minerals in balance, therefore increasing one without increasing the other really does not have any real benefit as the body simply disposes of the excess. Optimally one should consume 1,000 milligrams of each per day. However, your intake should increase with age. After menopause the recommended daily allowance is 1,500 milligrams. Remembering always to have that balancing component. McMaster University researchers have recently reported the import...

Your Life-Your Choice ISSN 1488-0253 May, 2001 Issue 73 Letter From the Editor Affecting approximately 3.7 million people in the United States over age 18 is a complex, chronic condition called Fibromyalgia. The pain of Fibromyalgia is typically a scattered aching or burning feeling from "head-to-toe". In fact, my sister describes it as “feeling like wet cement”. The amount of pain will vary from day to day and from one individual to another. Although both genders and all ages can acquire FMS, the highest number of instances are among older women. Fibromyalgia is difficult to diagnose and treat because there are a number of symptoms asso...

Although long, daily hours sitting at a computer is a common culprit, ANY repetitive hand movements, like typing or hammering, will result in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome over time.

Although this fresh, new season is filled with beauty and splendor, it is a constant struggle for those who suffer from environmental allergies. All types of allergies are a reflection of an impaired immune system. There are several issues that can cause this, which is a discussion deserving of an entire article in itself. However, to properly heal an allergy, you need to treat the cause as well as the symptom. Logically, it is n...

Your Life-Your Choice ISSN 1488-0253 December, 2000 Issue 67 Letter From the Editor Those who suffer from Psoriasis often also experience frustration, and often embarrasement.

About 2% of the population in both the United States and Europe battle with a skin disease called Psoriasis. It occurs when the skin cells do not produce normally. Typically psoriasis is recogni...

Your Life-Your Choice ISSN 1488-0253 November, 2000 Issue 65 Letter From the Editor We wake up in darkness and it’s dark again by supper time. No wonder so many people get depressed and stay moody all winter long. Between 5-10% of the population are affected by SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), often referred to as “Winter Blues”.

SAD is believed to be a result of shifted circadian rhythms. In the winter we don't receive the same strong light signal that is...
