Reducing Stress Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Problems

A Review in The Lancet reveals the importance of healthy lifestyle choices to reduce stressors related to cardiovascular risk factors. Researchers from John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore examined records between 1990 to 2006. They observed how stress affects the sympathetic nervous system, impacts physiology, and the effect it has on the cardiovascular system. Lead author, Daniel Brotman, claims "Acute physical stressors such as sugery, trauma, and intense physical exertion are well known triggers of cardiovascular events. Emotional stressors are increasingly recognized as precipitants of such events."

Rapid Rise in "Complementary" Medical Services

Have you been to a practitioner besides your family physician? Whether chiropractic care, acupuncture, yoga or homeopathy, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has become increasingly common in the United States, and 72% of adults use some form of CAM therapies according to the US National Centers for Disease Control and US National Center for Health Statistics.

A recent cover story in The New York Times Magazine highlighted how chronic pain tends to be under treated because doctors worry about over prescribing medications, and being liable for malpractice or even criminal penalties. Many doctors fear entering the field of pain management at all. Many patients are also concerned about becoming dependant on medication or about the invasiveness and dangers of surgery and anesthesia. CAM therapies, which are able to treat pain and help manage diseases without medication or surgery, are rapidly growing services as people search out better, safer approaches.

So how effective are Complementary and Alternative Medicine therapies?

Oscillo | Homeopathy

If you are one of the many Americans who have already received the flu shot this season, consider yourself lucky! But for the rest of us, there is the over-the-counter drug called Oscillococcinum which is claiming to shorten the length of your symptoms and the flu.

But does it work?

Oscillococcinum, called Oscillo for short, is an internationally renowned homeopathic remedy that boasts no side-effects and a quick reaction time. “"I use it myself when I have the first sign of the flu,"” said family practitioner Albert Levy. "“If someone comes here with the beginning of the flu, I would certainly prescribe this instead of an antibiotic or an expensive anti-viral medicine.”"

Oscillococcinum is a homoeopathic preparation manufactured from wild duck heart and liver. This is because ducks are common carriers of the flu.

Now, in homeopathic medicine, the belief is that a substance’s strength and effectiveness is increased the more it’s diluted.

The duck heart and liver in oscillo is diluted out 200 times.

"If you do the calculations, you find that in every dose of Oscillo there is less than one molecule per dose in average." claimed Dr. Neil Schachter Medical Director of Respiratory Care at Mount Sinai.
