 Dear Reader,
When I'm having a bad day, there are a few things that are sure to turn it around. Topping the list are having a good laugh with friends and popping on a favourite CD to listen to.
Research out of Japan shows I could be improving more than my mood with these fixes. I could be improving my heart health.
The researchers divided a group of adults into three groups. One group enjoyed one-hour music sessions every two weeks (and were encouraged to listen to music at home), the second attended laughter sessions, and the third had no intervention.
Immediately after each session, blood pressure readings were taken. The participants in the music group had readings 6 mm Hg lower than those taken right before the session, and in the laughter group the readings were 7 mm Hg lower. There was no change in the group that didn't have any intervention.
Three months later, the improvements were still present.
The researchers think the improvement could have to do with lowering levels of cortisol, which is a stress marker.
Interestingly, the people in the intervention groups were also more likely to increase their exercise levels — showing a change in motivation to meet health goals.
Some doctors are quick to brush off the results, claiming it shows an association and the results don't really mean anything. Others, though, see it as evidence of the power of holistic techniques, and the fact that stress is a major player in blood pressure.
One supportive doctor summed it up nicely, saying, "I think a lot of what was considered alternative is no longer alternative."
You know, reading something like that makes me feel pretty good. I know we still have a long way to go before natural and alternative medicine are taken as seriously as they should be, but there are medical professionals out there who are spreading the good word.
Now, if you'll excuse me, it's awfully quiet in here — I need to go turn on the CD player!

Rub away cancer?
Q: A friend of mine said she read a few years ago in your newsletter that iodine can be used to treat breast cancer. How is it administered?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: Iodine kills breast cancer cells without killing off normal cells in the process. In other words, it's ideal for both the treatment and prevention of breast cancer.
A suggestion for you and your doctor to consider: Put the treatment right onto the problem! Mix a solution of 50 per cent iodine/50 per cent DMSO and rub it directly onto your breast as near as possible to where the cancer is (or used to be). The DMSO will ensure penetration deep into the tissue. A 70-per cent DMSO solution is widely available, and you'll be able to get iodine on prescription from a doctor skilled in natural medicine. If you're worried about the breast cancer spreading, you can also rub the mixture into the area under the arms that is rich in lymph glands (nodes) where breast cancer spreads first.
But please don't do any of the above without consulting a doctor skilled and knowledgeable in the use of high-dose iodine!
You should also be sure that your doctor monitors your thyroid function and gives you other nutrient suggestions while you use iodine as an adjunct to your regular breast cancer treatment.
Bear in mind we are not addressing anyone's personal situation and you should rely on this for informational purposes only. Please consult with your own doctor before acting on any recommendations contained herein.
Wishing you the best of health,
