• Glutamine, Glutathione & Immunity
  Even our CEO has a tough time getting respect. She has been pushing to add Glutamine as a product for months now. We finally let our members vote in the survey and it got a big thumbs down. Not willing to admit defeat, she is trying to garner grass roots support through her blog. Feel free to comment or leave a love note... she really likes hearing from our members. ^..^

• Sleep As Protection Against Colds & Illness  
  We're entering cold season, and while it's not news sleep does a body good, just how much good may surprise you. Cindy shares compelling research that's bound to have you curling up with your favorite feline for a good night's rest.

• Sleep Deprivation & Alzheimer's Plaques 
  Yet another good case for catching enough zzzz's. Researchers have linked chronic sleep deprivation with Alzheimer's plaque, and the results are startling. A must-read for anyone with a poor sleep schedule.  

• Beware of Flu Vaccines + Immune Boosters
  Flu shots can be tempting, especially in the year of the swine flu, but Cindy offers some compelling evidence that for those with healthy immune systems, fending off germs the old-fashioned way may be a far safer route. In particular, she recounts the story of her Zen teacher, who developed the dangerous Guilliane-Barre syndrome, a risk of flu vaccines. 

• Strange Neurological Issues
  Cindy tells the story of her good friend in Paris who has been suffering undiagnosable neurological problems as of late. As Cindy's friend is only a middle-aged woman with a good healthy history, the memory lapses are a big concern. Cindy's friend may just have a chat with Dr. Rodier on the horizon.

Hilarious Pet Videos for Your Week

The humans love it when members send in funnies -- particularly pet funnies. It's not unusual for Tess to hear Cindy howling with laughter in her office, only later to discover the source was some poor pet caught in the spotlight of a human camera.

Anyway, since this kat has it on good authority that most of you humans appreciate a cute video, too, here are several sent to Teri by long-time member, Anatar Schubert.

• The Human Cat Perch

• The Biggest Cat Sanctuary You'll Ever See

• A Talking Cat

• Man Befriends 38 Lions

Enjoy! And if you have funnies you just have to share, do send them along for your fellow members to appreciate.
