The Verdict Is Still Out on Alternative Medicine. Medical experts remain sharply divided over alternative medicine, and the subject is one of the most touchy and contentious in health care. By Linda Villarosa. [New York Times: Health]
(Some alternative therapies are very well studied and show high effectiveness. Some have been well studied and show minimal effectiveness. And some have not been studied at all. Self-care is our core, it is the core of the intelligence that animates our body. And for many people, a combination of supportive supplements, herbs, exercise, customized diet, and bodywork can keep them healthy and happy without expensive and often side-effect prone powerful pharmacological substances. )

Christina Baldwin. "Journal writing is a voyage to the interior."
Just last night I awoke at 2am, and needed to process some fears and angers. Through inner contemplation, honest expression to God through my journal, and listening for the highest, best answer my heart can hear was deeply healing and transformative. If you have not had this experience, try it. And it is okay to be angry when you are writing... if that's where you are at the moment.

Herbs, drugs and severe depression. A sugar pill was more effective than either St. John's wort or the antidepressant Zoloft in providing relief to severely depressed patients, according to a new study that is unlikely to end the debate about the role of the popular supplement in treating the disorder.
(Placebo success rates are often highly significant, with only a fractional improvement for many prescription drugs. Also, St. John's wort has been known to not be ideal for severe depression for quite some time. See Healthnotes herbs section for more information.)
