And about a teaspoon of dark honey a day can act as a cough suppressant and powerful antimicrobial agent says Dr. Mark Moyad director of preventive and alternative medicine at the University of Michigan School of Medicine. Naturopathic medicine an alternative medical approach that focuses on the body’s innate ability to heal takes a somewhat different approach when it comes to treating chronic sinus infections. Based on a study that found chronic sinus infections are caused by yeast not bacteria naturopathic physicians do not recommend antibiotics as treatment says Dr. Carol Rossetti founder of the Noblesville-based practice Wellness by Nature. “Antibiotics will kill off good and bad bacteria and leave a place for yeast to grow bigger and bigger” she says. She recommends a product called Silver Shield with Aqua Sol which can be taken as a nasal spray or by mouth.

Researcher Finds Mechanism Underlying Alternative Splicing
Newswise (press release) 
a professor of medicine and biochemistry and the director of the School of Medicine?s Center for RNA Molecular Biology has discovered an unexpected mechanism governing alternative splicing the process by which single genes produce different proteins in different situations. The new mechanism suggests that curing the more than half of genetic diseases that are caused by mutations in the genetic code that in turn create mistakes in alternative splicing may be considerably more complicated than biomedical researchers have previously assumed. Those diseases include a large number of cancers and many neurodegenerative diseases. The research titled ?Dynamic regulation of alternative splicing by silencers that modulate 5? splice site competition? is published in the December 24 issue of Cell. Nilsen led an international team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University Columbia University Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute in New York City and the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Germany.

”Now this was a surprisingly refreshing way of thinking that hadn’t occurred to me before – and it seemed to tie in with the diverse calls from psychologists philosophers and economists for a fundamental shift in our values. What excites me about Chopra is his groundbreaking suggestion that such a shift in values was not simply a case of social convenience of what works best; but that it might actually reflect the reality of our embeddedness in nature. Intriguingly although Chopra has faced hostility from the medical establishment in the United States for his views his consistent work to expand the boundaries of traditional medicine led to the peer-reviewed Journal of American Medicine doing a special issue dedicated to alternative medicine in November 1998. Since then holistic conceptions of health care have increasingly been researched and recognized. For several years now xford University Press has published a quarterly international peer-reviewed journal Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (eCAM).

Recent research however has given doctors more information about which therapies work and which don’t says Kathi Kemper a professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine who was not involved in the new report. Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional care while complementary medicine is used alongside it she says. Kids are five times as likely to try unconventional therapies if their parents also use them according to the survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and NIH which included 23393 adults and 9417 children. About 38% of adults have used complementary and alternative medicine in the past year the study shows. Children used these therapies most often for back or neck pain colds anxiety or stress other muscle and skeletal problems and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder the study shows. Kids are more likely to use complementary and alternative therapies if they see the doctor a lot and if they have ongoing medical problems the report shows.
