. I would like to start with what some common health symptoms mean. Some are harmless while other can indicate a serious problem. This is a list given by Dr. David S. Smith, a medical professor and chief of internal medicine for Yale University's HMO. Sleep jerks - the arm and leg jerking that people get when falling asleep - are normal and nothing to worry about. Ringing in the ears usually has a relatively benign cause related to damage to the hearing nerve from loud noise. If the ringing is in both ears, it could signal an over dose of medication, such as aspirin. If the ringing is on one side along with decreased hearing, it could signal something more important like a neurological tumor. If ringing persists, see a doctor. Dry mouth could be related to your medications and medical history. Some people naturally have dry oral membranes, so it's nothing to worry about. Cotton mouth can be a side effect from medications such as anti-histamines. It also can be due to de-hydration and may signal some underlying problem. (See my July Newsletter book review on "Your Bodies Many Cries for Water") Dizziness when standing is usually caused by a temporary drop in blood pressure. It's a common side effect of medication, but it also can be seen with dehydration or neurological problems. Eyelid twitches are experienced by most people at some point and are virtually never anything to worry about. (If extreme it could be tourrettes syndrome and require further consideration) A racing heart can be a symptom of anxiety, but there are many serious conditions that can cause abnormal heart rhythms. It doesn't always indicate a problem, but you should see a doctor. Butterflies in the stomach are usually an anxiety symptom and not a big deal. Relaxation techniques should help. If you have stomach pain, see your doctor. White spots under the nails are usually due to trauma. They're nothing to worry about. Jaw pain can be due to lots of problems. Usually a tooth abscess or sinus infection triggers it. Pain that goes up into the jaw can be seen with a heart attack, while pain with chewing can occur with a serious inflammatory condition called giant cell arteritis. See your doctor to find the cause. Floaters in the eyes -- small dark flecks that occasionally float around - are harmless. But a shower of hundreds of them could signal a torn or detached retina and requires immediate treatment. He concluded with "If any symptom is persistent or painful, then you should see a doctor." (Taken from the National Enquirer) I tend to exhaust natural remedies before resorting to
doctors, however, everyone's body Hint: Reducing sodium in the diet may

you will live and, to some extent, how you may die! In this life, each individual is continually confronted by problems - difficulties in relation to persons, situations, and goals. Some of these problems can be quite large. but the attitude the person takes toward his problems can, literally, finish him off. There are four methods of dealing with problems: Type 1 - The first way of dealing with a problem is to let it get you down. The key words are "hopeless/helpless." This person is unable to solve problems relating to others, situations, or goals. If relationships are sour, circumstances unfavorable, and goals seemingly unachievable, he sinks into a depression, characterized by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. This person seems unable to change his negative view of life. He consistently chooses to keep depression as a habit to run into and hide. The coronary reports revealed the fact that the person choosing this type of behavior is highly prone to cancer. Type 2 - This way is to blow up. The key words are "frustrated/angry." This person also seems unable to deal with problems in a positive way. Instead, he becomes disgusted or loses his temper. The person choosing this type of behavior is highly prone to heart disease. Type 3 - This person remains positive, and turns his attention to finding a new way - a different way - to tackle the problem and resolve it. the key words here are "cheerful/positive." the significant factor, of course, is the continued positive outlook. The individual selecting this type of response to problems - tends not to get sick! These people have the lowest incidence of disease. In fact, they have the lowest incidence of death due to all causes, including accidents. Type 4 - This method increases the positive outlook of Type 3 living, intensifies the healthful results, and makes it easier to switch from Type 1 and Type 2, to Type 3 behavior. It is to take it to God in prayer. Those who do this have found that it produces wonderful results. In some cases, a beautiful solution appears all by itself. At other times, the person will arise from prayer, greatly encouraged to press forward in a Type 3 approach: With a positive outlook. he will try a new way to solve the problem. There is something else about Type 4 living which is special: The person who puts God first in his life - will spend much of his thought and energy trying to make the lives of others happier. The person who is busy helping others, will always seem to have fewer problems. The reason is that he is too busy being a blessing to others - to give them much attention. . . Essential Oil Combination for October 1998 . different types of bacterial, fungal, and virus conditions with great success including streptococcus. (We have even put a few drops in a capsule and swallowed it which is common in Europe although the FDA says not to take oils internally. We do make sure we don't swallow the capsule on an empty stomach. Also never, never take more than 3 capsules over 3 days as essential oils stay in your system for approx. 20 days. ) Formula #1: Equal parts in this order
