AHHA Special Updates e-Report

 

June 2008

 

Dear Amelia Williams

 

Special Update from the American Holistic Health Association with items of

interest to those actively enhancing their health and well-being. Another free

service from AHHA.

 

This message is being sent in left justified format with some colored headers.

If you have any problems with this format, please notify the AHHA office by

e-mailing mail. We can switch you from the html version to a text only

version.

FEATURED RESEARCH

 

The research on stress reduction cited this month has good news for both options

mentioned in the study. In " Mindfulness and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for

Stress " positive improvement was attained by both subject groups. See which

option appeals to you and is appropriate for the stress in your life. We thank

the Natural Standards Research Collaboration for presenting this article in

their May 2008 issue of Integrative Medicine Newsletter.

FEATURED ISSUE

After a ten-year legal battle, those supporting the position that dental amalgam

filling materials containing mercury are dangerous are claiming victory. The

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted a statement on its website: " Dental

amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous

systems of developing children and fetuses. " The agency posted the revised

assessment online as part of a settlement with consumer advocates. The FDA also

committed to issuing special controls on mercury fillings in July, 2009. Those

controls could range from giving patients information to adding warnings

prohibiting use of the fillings in some people. At the same time, the American

Medical Association (AMA) is publishing research results that offer some

reassurance that amalgam fillings are safe. And so the controversy continuesÉ

For previous comments on this issue re-visit the May 15, 2006 issue of AHHA

Special Update available in the archives.

FEATURED AHHA RESOURCE

 

The third of three special " portal " boxes on the AHHA website home page has been

activated. You are invited to go to www.ahha.org/wellness OR click on the

Wellness Research portal box on the home page at ahha.org. While most people

come to the AHHA website searching for resources to enhance their personal

wellness, many people also come for information that is not related to their

personal health. This third portal section details how the ahha.org site has

special tips for journalists, owners of health-related businesses, healing

centers, students, and career searchers.

FOLLOW UP

In the March 11, 2008, issue of AHHA Special Updates we alerted you to the

threat to availability of natural hormone replacement therapy compounds by the

FDA. On January 9, 2008, the FDA banned the use of estriol by compounding

pharmacies. Since then, a number of consumer advocacy groups have mobilized the

health freedom community to support House Congressional Resolution 342 which

calls for an end to the FDA's ban on bio-identical estriol. For an overview, you

can review the Health Freedom Foundation article " Strike While the Iron is Hot! "
