In 1994 the Angiogenesis Foundation was created by a group of men --- Harvard trained physicians, scientists and humanitarians --- who do angiogenesis research in order to conquer and prevent diseases that have been considered "unbeatable". Angiogenesis is a process upon which a tumor attracts blood vessels to nourish itself. This process allows the tumor to sustain its existence. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Antiogenesis_Research_Prevents_Unbeatable_Diseases.htm Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Antiogenesis_Research_Prevents_Unbeatable_Diseases.htm By Nancy L.

Over the years, color frequencies have become transmitted and absorbed through many colored venues—gemstones, clothing, water, light, icons, art, decoration, salves and ointments. Because of this, the developing fields of aromatherapy, color therapy, gemstone placement, solarized water, light therapy, yoga, reflexology, and many other complementary practices have attracted mankind in their healing modalities. http://www.akgmag.com/article/How_Color_Therapy_Works.htm Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/How_Color_Therapy_Works.htm By Nancy L.

Seen as a form of expression, the use of color causes us to respond to our surrounding world in a specific way. Different colors typically will represent a different mood for different people, but with many similar associations involved—our personal experiences, how our culture views specific colors, and the nature of the situation involved. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Magical_Colors.htm Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Magical_Colors.htm By Nancy L.

With bipolar disorder on the rise for adults and children and considered a life-long disease, what is developing is an increased awareness and diagnosis of what we previously recognized as manic depression. Causing severe mood shifts from depression to severe mania, the ability to function is disabled. With estimates for both children and teens varying, statistics and research show that 5.7 million adults are affected with bipolar disorder and at least three-quarters of a million American childr http://www.akgmag.com/article/Signs_and_Symptoms_of__Bipolar_Disorder.htm Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Signs_and_Symptoms_of__Bipolar_Disorder.htm By Nancy L. Young-Houser. In 1817, lithium salts were first used by doctors to treat gout with the doctors eventually discovering it was also capable of stabilizing moods. One documentation has it that one doctor felt that gout was the cause of mood disorders. But it wasn't until 1949 that John Cade, an Australian psychiatrist, actually published a paper on the use of lithium as a successful treatment of acute mania. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Lithium__a_50_Year_Old_Treatment_for_Bipolar_Disorder.htm Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Lithium__a_50_Year_Old_Treatment_for_Bipolar_Disorder.htm By Nancy L. Young-Houser. In today's times, scientists are testing new ideas and treatments for not only depression but bipolar disorder. Referred to as manic-depression, this is a disease that has not had a successful medication developed specifically for it since the development of lithium over 50 years ago. Occurring in 1 out 25 adults, bipolar disorder has a median age of 25 years that can begin in early childhood or in the 50s. http://www.akgmag.com/article/New_Treatments_for_Bipolar_Disorder.htm Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/New_Treatments_for_Bipolar_Disorder.htm By Nancy L.

Basically, it was an antidote to the arsenic –based poison gas called Lewisite—specifically an arsine that was once manufactured in the United States and Japan as a chemical weapon that caused blisters and a lung irritant. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Detoxification_Chelation_Therapy.htm Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Detoxification_Chelation_Therapy.htm By Nancy L. Young-Houser. Alcohol and drug detoxification are based on eating organic and natural fruits and vegetables, instead of meats, processed foods, or things like nuts and candies. But the two major goals of any detox system are to flush out toxins through laxatives or diuretics. This can be accomplished through the use of juices, water (distilled or mineral water that is low-aluminum), or herbal teas with a touch of natural honey (dandelion, burdock, jasmine or lemon teas). http://www.akgmag.com/article/Alcohol_and_Drug_Detoxification.htm Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Alcohol_and_Drug_Detoxification.htm By Nancy L. Young-Houser. As more people become involved with natural health and healing, the word detoxification comes up more now than at any other time in history. The root word "detox" refers to the removal of toxic substances from the human body or the removal of substances that are able to damage an exposed organism. http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Purpose_of_Detoxification.htm Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Purpose_of_Detoxification.htm By Lynda Forman.

Eventually they will be completely unable to care for themselves. Either way, ignoring memory loss, confusion, and agitation in the Alzheimer's patient will bring about their premature placement in a nursing facility and eventually developing health problems for the caregiver due to stress and frustration. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Tips_on_Caring_for_the_Alzheimer_s_Patient.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Tips_on_Caring_for_the_Alzheimer_s_Patient.htm By Nancy L.

The MRIs are assisting researchers to discover brain changes much earlier in Alzheimer's disease patients to facilitate earlier treatments. http://www.akgmag.com/article/MRI_s_Influence_on_Alzheimer_s_Disease.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/MRI_s_Influence_on_Alzheimer_s_Disease.htm By Nancy L. Young-Houser. Individuals who have Alzheimer's disease in their family line have a much higher risk than the general population does for developing the disease. The highest statistic is for someone who has a parent or sibling diagnosed with Alzheimer's, raising their risk approximately 3.5 times as likely to get it. With each additional relative, this risk will increase. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Genetics_and_Alzheimer_s_disease_What_to_Look_For.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Genetics_and_Alzheimer_s_disease_What_to_Look_For.htm By Nancy L.

New Alzheimer testing methods consist of more than nothing spitting in a test tube, allowing more and more people to take that first move toward fighting Alzheimer's disease and becoming their first advocate. But in actuality, many types of tests are available depending on the location, hospital, or doctor involved. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Testing_for_Alzheimer_s_Disease.htm Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Testing_for_Alzheimer_s_Disease.htm By Nancy L.

The purpose of this plant is to help insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes patients, in addition to those with autoimmune diseases. The agrochemical companies of Bayer and Syngenta have been researching ways to make complex protein drugs in plants for awhile, but up until now have been pretty much unsuccessful. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Diabetes_Drug_Grown_in_Tobacco_Plants.htm Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Diabetes_Drug_Grown_in_Tobacco_Plants.htm By Lynda Forman.

To know how serious this habit is, remember the words of Mark Twain, "Quitting smoking is easy.

Listening is based on one fact---we listen through the body part where our conscious is focused at. http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Business_of_Listening.htm Wed, 18 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Business_of_Listening.htm By Nancy L. Young-Houser. Good conversation can create good energy and good health if done properly. Bad conversation will waste energy, bringing a reversed effect on our body's health. For example, fighting with our spouse leaves us feeling drained and sick inside, frustrated and angry resulting in saying things we really don't mean. But a successful business meeting or an enjoyable dinner out with a best friend leaves us feeling at the top of the world with some heartfelt and creative ideas coming forth. Speaking is important, an art in itself which allows us to reach perfection through its control and usage when attempting to reach out to others. http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Business_of_Speech.htm Tue, 17 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Business_of_Speech.htm By Nancy L.

A difficult task, many people question this ability to be your own very best friend. Or worse yet, just as many individuals refuse to ask it at all. Yet each one of us has been given the overwhelming task of caring for a physical body that many treat so carelessly. By the time we age and become advanced in knowledge, only then will we realize this same body we have had over the years is http://www.akgmag.com/article/Becoming_Our_Own_Best_Friend.htm Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Becoming_Our_Own_Best_Friend.htm By Nancy L.

When the neurologist, Richard Cytowic became involved with the world of synesthesia, it was when a dinner host apologized for the cooked chicken with the explanation, "There aren't enough points on the chicken!" This led to the man explaining that flavor was actually a physical shape he could feel with his hands, with the meal's chicken feeling "too round". Beginning in 1980, Dr. Richard Cytowic from then on has become one of the world's few authorities on the subject of synesthesia. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Richard_Cytowic__M_D__and_Synesthesia.htm Tue, 10 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Richard_Cytowic__M_D__and_Synesthesia.htm By Nancy L. Young-Houser. The word synesthesia is new to most people, a neurological condition in which people experience a mixing of the senses. The description is "a sensation produced at a point other than or remote from the point of stimulation", or simply those who are diagnosed with synesthesia see colors and movements in numbers, words or sounds. When certain individuals with this condition listen to an orchestra, they see the music instead of simply hearing it, with certain instrumental sounds bringing rich colors in a violin's sound, with a cello flowing like the hue of a golden yellow to their senses. http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Rarity_of_Synesthesia.htm Tue, 10 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Rarity_of_Synesthesia.htm By Lynda Forman.

A form of spiritual healing, it is a lying on of hands which involve the entire body, spirit, and mind—areas which are beyond our own human intelligence. It recognizes a power beyond the limits of the human being, an acceptance and relationship with a specific spiritual guidance for the person in question. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Using_Traditional_Medicine_With_the_Healing_Touch.htm Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Using_Traditional_Medicine_With_the_Healing_Touch.htm By Nancy L.

Young-Houser. The color spectrum has the ability to influence every one of our levels---mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Because of this, it is possible for colors to affect who we are and how we interact with the universe around us, the same as some foods make us more content or traditional medicine when we are ill due to similar frequencies. But because of color we can see, we can experience what light is with both of them tied to every aspect of our life. We are surrounded by it, using colors to describe how we feel, "I am seeing red over it."
