Helping Breast Cancer Survivors Cope Emotionally & Physically (Mar 11 2003 23:46 GMT) - Research shows therapeutic massage is an effective complement to traditional medical care for women suffering from the trauma of undergoing a lumpectomy, mastectomy or breast reconstruction. Pre-surgery, massage relaxes muscle tissue and increases the flow of lymph. Post surgery, women who use specialized lymph drainage techniques from a well-trained massage therapist as part of their treatment for lymphedema may experience less pain and swelling, as massage helps disperse build-up of lymphatic fluid. Although the physiological benefits are important, many women whove undergone breast cancer treatment report that the emotional benefits of massage are paramount. |

In fact, researchers hypothesize that massage might be an effective alternative to conventional medical care for persistent low back pain. Researchers hope to continue their research to determine which components of the massage therapy experience contribute to its effectiveness. |

Barelaked Nadies (2002) (Mar 11 2003 23:37 GMT) - Buy it at AmazonCanada’s Barenaked Ladies harbor a nasty little secret: They’re a pop band. And in an age when top-40 radio is drowning in silicone breasts, pierced navels and marginal talent, “pop” has become a dirty word. But the Ladies are a solid reminder that pop music is more than Christina and N*SYNC. They are pop the way XTC was pop. |

A French fry by any other name... (Mar 11 2003 23:17 GMT) - House cafeterias change names for 'french fries' and 'french toast' ... to 'freedom fries' and 'freedom toast'! This is actually from CNN and thus likely to be true, and not, as you might legitimately suppose, from The Onion and thus a piece of scathing satire. What's next? Freedom dressing? |
