Reducing Salt a Little Can Increase Health a Lot

If Americans cut their overly heavy salt consumption by as little as 1 gram (400 milligrams of sodium) a day, the result would be 200,000 lives saved from heart disease and stroke over the course of a decade, according to a recent study.
   
And if Americans went so far as to cut their salt intake in half, the action would prevent up to 150,000 premature deaths a year, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).

Expert Commentary: Dr. Micozzi, M.D. - May 26, 2009

We are all beginning to realize that too much salt may be bad for our health. Yet, our bodies need some sodium (better known as salt) to function properly.


The body uses sodium, to maintain the right balance of fluids in our bodies. We also need sodium to transmit nerve impulses. In addition, sodium influences the contraction and relaxation of muscles.

Elimination of Long Dying Process Could Alter Society

A group of still-hypothetical drugs that may serve to rejuvenate the body's cellular energy system and thus eliminate the diseases of aging could have the effect of removing a huge burden from the U.S. health care system and state and federal budgets. It could also promote closer, more intimately involved three-generational families that are free of the woes, tensions and anxieties revolving around chronic diseases of the aged.

More Natural Cures for Workaday Woes

Modern medicine is coming to agree that the new ways are not always necessarily the best ways. It's reaching the conclusion that the latest pharmaceuticals are not always necessarily the only way to assault an ailment, that homespun remedies can often be the most helpful and least expensive approaches to a variety of illnesses. Here are a few remedies, most of them readily available in your refrigerator or pantry, that many mainstream medical experts today have come to swear by.

Natural Cures for Workaday Woes

Having a medical problem doesn't always involve getting cancer or having a heart attack. In fact, it's usually something simple and uncomplicated, like indigestion or a slight fever. And many are the people nowadays who cringe at the thought of dealing with minor medical problems by taking synthetic chemicals from the drugstore that more often than not have uncomfortable side effects. For those people, here are a few natural cures that are safe, effective, inexpensive and recommended by experts.

Graston Massage Breaks Up Deep Scar Tissue

A relatively new massage technique gets at stubborn scar tissue buried deep in muscles and joints, returning people to a delightfully pain-free and flexible condition. The technique, called Graston therapy, is usually performed by a massage therapist or chiropractor, and involves the use of specialized tools that look like handlebars, a boomerang and a thick metal tongue depressor. Specialists at Ball State University developed these and other deep-massage tools and the treatments themselves in the early 1990s.

One-Third of Hospitals Provide Alternative-Medicine Option

In 2005, a study found that one in five hospitals provided their patients with the option of alternative medicine, but by 2007 that number had risen to one in three. "The largest hospitals in the U.S. are doing it," said Laurel Anderson, former director of health policy at the Minnesota Hospital Association, now with the Center for the Evolution of Health Care, an organization that promotes the availability of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in hospitals. "Minnesota is a leader in this area. The Minnesota Holistic Nursing Association has the most active association in the country."

Nanosilver Seen as a "Serious" Health Risk

The widespread popularity of nanosilver products as a cure for everything from colds to conjunctivitis is being questioned by a number of scientists, who say the products could lead to serious toxic reactions and disease. Nanosilver drinks, eyedrops and tablets are made with ultra-tiny particles of silver metal - so tiny that 800 of them fitted side by side could span the width of a human hair. Since silver is toxic to most living things, the particles are said to be able to kill harmful bacteria - hence the alleged health benefits.

Johns Hopkins Opens Alternative-Medicine Center

In another sign of the slow but steady integration in the United States of the mutually suspicious fields of Western and alternative medicine, a center recently opened called the Johns Hopkins Integrative Medicine and Digestive Center. "We conventional doctors need to acknowledge that some of our therapies don't always work," said Linda Lee, a gastroenterologist with 20 years of experience. Counting Lee, the center has 13 specialists, including acupuncturists, nutritionists and massage therapists. There is also a psychotherapist who employs hypnosis and touch therapy.

Pentagon Researches Acupuncture, Etc. for Service Members

The Pentagon is sinking about $5 million this year into studying the effect of acupuncture on relieving brain-damage headaches among soldiers caught in battlefield explosions, of animal therapy on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and of meditation and yoga on increasing emotional buoyancy. "This new theme is a big departure for our cautious culture," said Dr. S. Ward Casscells, the Defense Department's assistant secretary for health affairs. The department, he said, is "struggling with" PTSD, "as we are with suicide, and we are increasingly willing to take a hard look at even soft therapies." The Army had a record suicide rate of 115 in 2007, and 2008 is expected to exceed that.
