'Ayurvedic' Medicines May Contain Lead, Mercury or Arsenic
(HealthDay News) -- About one in five ayurvedic medicine products purchased on the Internet contain significant levels of lead, mercury or arsenic, a new study finds.
The researchers found that products manufactured in the United States were even more likely to contain the metals than those made in India, where the ayurvedic approach was first developed centuries ago. Furthermore, 75 percent of the products containing lead, mercury or arsenic advertised that they were manufactured using "Good Manufacturing Practices," which is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation meant to ensure quality.

The Research and Healing Properties of Clay
A smectite montmorillonite clay that transforms several kinds of bacteria is at the forefront of new research into age-old, nearly forgotten, but surprisingly potent cures. Among the malevolent bacteria that this French montmorillonite clay has been shown to transform this so-called "flesh-eating" mircroform (M. ulcerans) on the rise in Africa and the microform called MRSA, which unfortunately was blamed for the recent deaths of two children in Virginia and Mississippi. (Bacteria does not cause disease - it is the evidence of transforming matter caused by an over-acidic environment. According to Dr. Young, acids from diet and metabolism cause dis-ease and disease.)

Ayurvedic Medicine
Ayurvedic medicine (also called Ayurveda) is one of the world's oldest medical systems. It originated in India and has evolved there over thousands of years. In the United States, Ayurveda is considered complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) — more specifically, a CAM whole medical system. Many therapies used in Ayurveda are also used on their own as CAM — for example, herbs, massage, and yoga.
Key Points
The aim of Ayurveda is to integrate and balance the body, mind, and spirit. This is believed to help prevent illness and promote wellness.
In Ayurvedic philosophy, people, their health, and the universe are all thought to be related. It is believed that health problems can result when these relationships are out of balance.
In Ayurveda, herbs, metals, massage, and other products and techniques are used with the intent of cleansing the body and restoring balance. Some of these products may be harmful when used on their own or when used with conventional medicines.
Before you seek care from an Ayurvedic practitioner, ask about the practitioner's training and experience.
Tell your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

Are Ayurvedic Supplements Dangerous?
I heard about heavy metals contaminating some ayurvedic supplements. What's the story? And how can consumers protect themselves against tainted supplements?
The story about contamination of ayurvedic supplements concerns an analysis of products bought online. Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine found that nearly 21 percent of the ayurvedic herbal supplements they purchased via the internet contained lead, mercury or arsenic that exceeded acceptable standards. The supplements were produced in India and the United States and sold through U.S. Web sites.

Unfortunately, no one knows if anyone has been harmed by ayurvedic supplements. The study's authors noted more than 80 known cases of poisoning had been reported worldwide since 1978, but the lead investigator, Robert B. Saper, M.D., was quoted as saying that number may be just the tip of the iceberg. In 2005 alone, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 12 cases of lead poisoning associated with ayurvedic products. Read more...

Women's Heart Risk Underestimated
New Guidelines stress prevention before aging
By Steve Sternberg
February 20, 2007
Most women carry a higher long-term risk of heart disease than they realize and should act now to prevent heart attacks and stroke, say American Heart Association guidelines issued today.
The guidelines are more far-reaching than those released in 2004. They focus not on a woman's immediate risk but what is likely to happen as she ages.
"Many women can be at low short-term risk, but in the course of a woman's life, she has nearly 1-in-3 chance of dying of heart disease," says Lori Mosca, director of preventive cardiology at New York Presbyterian Hospital. "It's misguided to think you have a low risk of a condition you have a 1-in-3 chance of dying of. Read more...

Why Bother with Castor Oil Packs?
My naturopath recommended using castor oil packs for liver detoxification and for uterine fibroids. Are they worthwhile?
Castor oil packs are a home remedy popularized by psychic healer Edgar Cayce who died in 1945 They are made by saturating a flannel cloth with castor oil and placing it on your body over the lower abdomen. You cover the pack with plastic, put a heating pad or hot water bottle on top and then you lie down for an hour.
During his lifetime, Cayce made pronouncements on thousands of subjects including health. He saw castor oil packs as remedies for inflammation, congestion, constipation, liver, kidney, and pelvic disorders, including uterine fibroids. While many people swear by them, I know of no scientific studies demonstrating that they have the detoxifying effect that Cayce claimed.
Instead of castor oil packs, I suggest you try these approaches to managing your fibroids:
Eat a low-fat diet. Read more...
