5. The first is that health is the absence of any disease or impairment.
Health Defined
Today, three views of health seem to be possible and are used by insurors, government agencies and the natural health community.
The first is that health is the absence of any disease or impairment.
The second is that health is a state that allows the individual to adequately cope with all demands of daily life (implying also the recovering from disease and injury).
The third definition states that health is a state of balance, an equilibrium that an individual has established within himself and between himself and his social and physical environment.

14. National Economic Stress Level Rose Slightly in December
by Credit.com on 02/13/2011
Manufacturing jobs began returning to the economy in December, and bankruptcies stayed flat from the previous month, but the continuing threat of foreclosure actions caused consumers to feel more economic strife in the final month of 2010, according to the latest monthly poll from The Associated Press. Overall, December’s consumer stress rating climbed slightly to a score of 10.4, up from 10.3 in November. Typically, an 11 rating is viewed as “stressed,” and 40 percent of all counties nationwide met or exceeded that level.
“Bankruptcies and foreclosures are the side effects of the damage from the real estate bust,” Georgia State University economist Rajeev Dhawan told the news service. “First, you have the real estate problem, and then it’s going to spill over into bankruptcies and foreclosures.”

The most stressed states continued to be those that experienced the greatest foreclosure rates, the report said. Nevada’s rating led the nation at 22.56, with Florida (16.47) and California (16.36) also in the top three. However, of those three, only Nevada’s actually increased from one month to the next. Meanwhile, the states that saw the least stress were once again in the Midwest, with North Dakota (4.65), Nebraska (5.38) and South Dakota (5.69) experiencing the fewest problems.
Millions of consumers nationwide received some sort of foreclosure notice in 2010, though thousands may have been improperly issued as a result of the robosigning controversy that recently came to light.
Fear of foreclosure and being homeless is highest since Great Depression – 40% of US counties at or beyond crisis level for financial insolvency.

There is a link between the brain, gut, and microbiome
Research discovers that
microbes can actually commandeer your mind,
control your tastes, and alter your moods.
What you eat initiates a genetic response in friendly bowel microbes or can stimulate pathogens.

24. Statins Create New Problems
Physicians have petitioned the US FDA to put a ‘black box’ warning on all statin drugs saying that they should only be used in conjunction with supplementation of CoQ10.
Since Rx cannot patent natural substances, CoQ10 is not added to statins thus the drug causes the very problem it is suppose to treat.
