| Alternative Menopause Treatments
Although high-tech medicine has pioneered superb emergency and diagnostic techniques, solutions for managing age-related conditions such as menopause are often limited. In the past decade, baby boomer consumer demand has ignited a worldwide explosion in anti-aging medical research. As a result, nutritional and herbal alternatives to traditional hormone therapies are being seriously examined as a way of providing gentle, safe and effective relief from menopause symptoms. Researchers, physicians and menopausal women are finding that soy foods and/or Chinese herbs deliver optimal nutrition while enhancing emotional and physical health during menopause. Dale Prokupek, M.D., a board-certified gastroenterologist practicing in Beverly Hills, Calif., recommends that women over 40 start eating four ounces of soy daily to ensure a healthier, easier change of life.
Drain water away safely with Altadrine Aquadrain
Green tea has been consumed throughout the ages in India, China, Japan, and Thailand. In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, green tea has been used as a stimulant and diuretic (to promote the excretion of urine), to help expel water retention.
Recent studies resulted in good news for dieters: green tea appears to speed up calorie burning, including fat calorie burning.
There are lots of cases of water retention but it is very important that one drains the water away safely. Use of diuretics have to be strictly monitored by doctors.
The natural alternative is green tea but natural does not mean safe. When one drains water one loses also the electrolytes Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium that have to be replaced immediately.
Green Tea is excellent for water retention cases and when combined with Potassium, Magnesium and Sodium the electrolytes that are lost are immediately replaced.
Now China targets traditional medicine factory
BEIJING (Reuters) - China has raided a filthy underground fake medicine factory, Chinese media reported on Thursday, as the country faces a series of food and medicine safety scandals at home and abroad. The medicine supervision bureau in the capital, Beijing, seized 800 kg (1,760 lb) of materials, most being palmed off as traditional Chinese medicine, the Beijing News said. The factory, which belongs to a Beiijng hospital, claimed its "specially made" formula could cure cancer and other illnesses, but was found to have mixed some banned ingredients from western medicine with Chinese medicine, the report said. "In one of their workshops, flies were hovering above two large plastic barrels containing black medicinal liquor, with a spider's web in the corner," the newspaper said, citing the supervision bureau.

The forgotten man
Anderson is in prison because he will not testify about whether Bonds lied to a federal grand jury in 2003 when he said under oath that he didn't know the drugs he'd been using were steroids. Anderson had served three months in prison for distributing steroids in the BALCO scandal, but when he refused to testify in the Bonds perjury investigation he was jailed on civil contempt charges. He will not be released until he agrees to testify or the grand jury, which was recently extended until January, expires. For MLB, seeing Bonds break the record must have been a relief similar to the passing of a kidney stone: Nothing about the experience was pleasant, as evidenced by Bud Selig's grim expression when Bonds hit No. 755 in San Diego. Selig was not in attendance for 756. Whatever number Bonds leaves in the books will be the symbol of how thoroughly doping has infiltrated American sports.
