The April edition of the Health Gazette Ezine was published on schedule, today, April first 2008. It has been emailed already and is also available to subscribers in the archive.

This month we discussed the importance of healthy fats and oils. Many people have been told to cut fats from their diets and unfortunately, that's exactly what they have done! Care must be taken when modifying dietary fats to ensure that ample essential fatty acids are still consumed.

In this edition we explain what good fats and bad fats are. Naturally, we don't just peddle the orthodox lines about cholesterol. Do you know what good and bad fats are? Do you know the risks from consuming bad fats? What about the risks from not consuming good fats? If you could use a few more details then why not subscribe to the Health Gazette Ezine -- it's free.

The March Ezine Edition of The Health Gazette will be published on time, March 1st, 2008. The featured article this month is a little different from usual. It is titled: Mind-Body Connection: The Medical Blind Spot. It is one of those classic cases of a huge gap between medical rhetoric and the realities of practice. The article briefly traces this problem to the historical roots of Cartesian thinking and the erroneous beliefs about modern science.

Another issue addressed in the edition is the use of natural antibiotics. We answer a reader's question about natural antibiotic use for dental infections.

We at The Health Gazette recognze that health is unavoidably political. It affects people, it costs individuals and governments (public funds) a lot of money -- how could it not be political?

So we were interested to read a statement by Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas), Republican Presidential candidate for 2008, under the title "Health Freedom". Here it is:

Americans are justifiably concerned over the government’s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health.

The December Ezine Edition of The Health Gazette will be publised on time, December 1st, 2007. This edition will be distributed by email from the far south coast of New South Wales, Australia, where the editor will interrupt his beach holiday just to ensure this last edition for the year reaches subscribers on time. The archived edition will be available around mid December.

The featured article in the December edition is titled: Varicose Veins: Prevention and Treatment. This commonly experienced but little discussed condition does not have to be suffered until it becomes bad enough for surgical intervention. Contrary to popular opinion some treatment is available and it does not involve the use of dangerous drugs. Many people will be interested to read the steps to prevention.

The Novenber 2007 Ezine edition of the Health gazette will again be published on time. It will be available on November 1st.

This edition features an article titled Dealing with Memory Problems. Many people notice that their memory is not quite as good as it once was. Typically, people are told that memory declines with aging and they are frequently encouraged not to worry about it. Not worrying is indeed good advice because worrying won't help. However, there are many things that will help and these can be found in the article.

Whether you feel the need, have been advised to do something about your memory by someone concerned for your wellbeing, or simply want to enhance and make the most of your memory, you will find plenty of useful information in this month's edition. As with many other things related to your health and enjoyment of life, don't put off taking action to take care of your memory and overall mental functioning. Preventing decline is always a good idea.
