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.

Study Finds Ginkgo Biloba Ineffective
The herb ginkgo biloba's reputation as a fountain of mental acuity has been tarnished by a recent six-year study, which showed it has no effect on the onset or progression of dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
The research, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was performed on 3,069 people between the ages of 75 and 96. Of those, 1,545 took a red pill containing 120 milligrams twice a day of the ginkgo extract EGb 761, the same used in Ginkgold products sold by Nature's Way. The other 1,524 participants took a red pill containing only placebos. Neither group knew what they were taking. All the pills were came from Schwabe Pharmaceuticals, a large German maker of supplements. (Read more about Study Finds Ginkgo Biloba Ineffective)

Study Will Examine Black Cohosh and Tamoxifen
Women with breast cancer, who frequently take the anti-cancer drug tamoxifen, are often at the age when they're also experiencing the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause - hot flashes and night sweats. So they need relief. But they can' take estrogen, which is the centerpiece of traditional anti-hot-flash hormone replacement therapy, because it has been shown to fan the fire of breast cancer.
So to get relief, women often turn to the herbal supplement black cohosh. But the extent of chemical interplay in the body between black cohosh and tamoxifen isn't known, so a new study will determine whether, and what sort of, interactive effect there is between the two.

A Cure-all Oil?
Oil of oregano has been touted as curing everything from diarrhea to rheumatism.
Various authorities have praised its supposed ability to relieve intestinal gas, sore throat, sinusitis, breathing difficulties, dandruff, diaper rash, bee stings and venomous bites. And experts have lauded it for its apparent power to reduce fever, relieve cramps, mitigate the effects of measles and mumps, and benefit indigestion, nervous tension, toothache, earache and coughs due to whooping cough and bronchitis.

Acupuncture Outperforms Drugs on Hot Flashes
Acupuncture does as well and is longer-lasting than drug therapy in handling the hot flashes and sweating that afflicts 80 percent of women who are treated for breast cancer, according to recent research.
In addition, the study showed, treatment with acupuncture engenders none of the nasty side effects associated with conventional drugs. In fact, it produces some very attractive benefits, including a greater sense of well-being, increased energy, and, occasionally, a higher sex drive.

Chelation Therapy Would Be Great, if It Works
Chelation therapy, in which a chemical agent improves one's health by latching on to excess metal atoms in the body, forming complexes that are then excreted in the urine, so far has only limited proven effectiveness.
Claims are often made that chelation therapy is a good treatment for cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, mercury poisoning, chronic fatigue syndrome and other long-term conditions. But there is no scientific evidence for any of these (Read more about Chelation Therapy Would Be Great, if It Works)

Seven Anxiety-Fighting Foods
Step aside, Prozac and Valium, and make way for some natural alternatives that, while they might not do as dramatic a job at relieving anxiety, certainly have the anxiety-relieving benefit that they have no nasty side effects whatever.
Berries. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries - any berries at all are loaded with vitamin C and other beneficial plant chemicals that counteract the human stress hormone cortisol. And the carbohydrates they contain are the good, complex kind. The body breaks them down into sugar slowly, so you don't experience a blood-sugar crash. (Read more about Seven Anxiety-Fighting Foods)

Hypnosis Helps Control Hot Flashes
Hot flashes can make life hell for women going through menopause. And they'e especially torturous for those who are being treated for, or who have just finished treatment for, breast cancer.
So the federal government funded a five-week study at Baylor University in which 51 survivors of breast cancer were divided into two groups - one of 26 women who were given about an hour of hypnosis five times a week, and another of 25 women who served as a control group. All of the women had no further sign of cancer and were experiencing up to 14 daily hot flashes - in which a woman's heart rate skyrockets, she goes into a sweat, and then is racked by the chills.
