Asthma and Stress
My life was severely affected by asthma and allergies. For a long time I suffered needlessly, not fully understanding the underlying causes of my condition. Later, I spent years learning everything that I could about natural treatments for asthma. What I found was both exhilarating and frustrating, because I knew how many people were suffering as well. I also learned painful lessons about the side-effects of medications. I put that information into my first book Reversing Asthma (now in its 13th printing).

MASSAGE AWAY WORRIES.... and boost the immune system
A soothing backrub isn't just a relaxing way to relieve fatigue and stress - it's good for your health. After Diane Zeitlin, LMT, gave hour-long massages to a bunch of anxious medical students the day before a major test, she found that the rubdowns calmed students down but geared their immune systems up, as she reported at the recent annual meeting of the American Massage Therapy Association. Blood tests showed that students' white blood cells and natural killer cells - immune system fighters which attack viruses and tumors in the body - rose in number and activity in response to the massage therapy. The students also noted feeling less anxious about their exam.
