Well Being Journal Magazine Vol. 25 No. 5 SeptemberOctober 2016 Back Issue

In our fifth issue of the 25th anniversary year of Well Being Journal, we present Daniel Cobb, DOM’s, evidence showing how the lack of vitamin C in the diet is related to cardiovascular disease; vitamin C is beneficial in both treatment and prevention of heart disease. Fiona McCulloch, ND, explains how high insulin levels in women can cause an imbalance in the endocrine system leading to weight gain, menstrual difficulty, and infertility; she offers ways to help reverse these conditions. Shoba Sreenivasan, PhD, and Linda Weinberger, PhD, discuss how chronic physical pain can be caused not only by physical trauma and poor nutritional choices, but also by negative emotional experiences. Diana Raab, PhD, writes about the healing benefits of journaling, which she experienced while recovering from cancer; she offers guidance about journaling that can assist anyone during a journey of healing. Shannon McRae, PhD, illustrates how our thoughts, especially repeated, worrisome thoughts, can impact health starting at the genetic level. Scott Miners encourages readers to focus on abundance rather than lack as a way to make positive change in emerging economies. Among our “In Brief” articles we present an alternative to vaccines, healthy sleep habits for teens, qigong, and so much more. We hope you enjoy reading this Journal and that we will all realize healthier lives full of well-being.
