Gum Disease
- It's Not All About Flossing
More than 30 per
cent of the population is thought to suffer from periodontitis, an
infection of the gums that can result in tooth loss, but also leads to
heart disease, diabetes and pre-term labor.
And as advances in dental
medicine allow more people to keep their teeth as they grow older,
understanding how to prevent gum diseases is becoming increasingly
important. Researchers from the Case Western Reserve University in the
US examined data from 12,110 individuals and reported that those who
exercised, had healthy eating habits and maintained a normal weight were
40 per cent less likely to develop periodontitis.* Read

Schools Stay Ahead of Head
Lice
School's starting and
head lice are back in the news. head lice effect mostly kids in elementary
school. But contrary to popular opinion, lice don't care if you are rich
or poor, educated or not - they strike everywhere. Lice do not carry
dangerous diseases, but if left alone will infect everyone in the family.
As parents, you can make a big difference by doing a few simple things
such as checking your child's hair for lice eggs. Read

A new survey
reconfirms that elderly people are the most prolific users of dietary
supplements, but warns that occasionally they may be exposed to dangerous
interactions with prescription drugs. Medscape, a popular on-line
reference site, has a drug-supplement interaction checker you can use for
free and the Atlanta Journal Constitution also has a very comprehensive
checker.

Letter to the
Editor
Dear Editor:
I am thrilled with your
Super Lysine Plus!!! I experience cold sores during those stressful
periods of life, but am no longer burdened with the pain and frustration
of having them, if I start taking my Super Lysine Plus early enough.
I tell everyone that I see
is suffering (even the ones in denial about having them), about your
products and usually bring some for them to try. One friend liked it
so much, she bought a new tube for me. I use, and share both the
pill form and the cream form and just wanted to say thanks for this
wonderful product.
Sincerely,
Melinda M.
