TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 30, 2008) - Naturopathic Medicine Week is an annual awareness initiative, focusing on disease prevention and health promotion from a naturopathic perspective. Naturopathic Medicine Week 2008 runs from May 4-11 with Health Promotion and Disease Prevention as its theme.
Over the course of the week regulated naturopathic doctors across Canada will be providing open house clinic tours as well as public workshops and lectures on topics such as healthy eating, proper sleep habits, and stress management. This is to educate the public on the benefits of naturopathic treatment.

Letter to the Editor, Washington Post, Monday, May 5, 2008; Page A16 Sally Squires's April 29 article "Vitamins Fare Poorly in Analysis" reported that a new analysis found that taking some antioxidant supplements "may increase mortality." But analyses such as the Cochrane Collaboration's are prone to bias in terms of which studies they include. Such analyses are inappropriate tools for investigating the role of short-term antioxidant supplements and overall mortality.
