He was a frail elderly gentleman out for a free breakfast of sausage and pancakes at one of the many locations offering this morning treat as a celebration of Edmonton's Klondike Days festival held annually in July. He was probably quite unaware of the life threatening event that was about to occur.

Also attending that pancake breakfast was me, Lauren Slade, newly arrived from England and eagerly anticipating the great Canadian outdoor experience. The event was being held in a car park on top of a mall in South Edmonton. I joined a long line up to collect my coffee...

Living near a power line can increase your risk of Alzheimer's and senile dementia, a major new study has confirmed this week.

People who live within 54 yards, or 50 m, of a power line more than double their risk of a neuro-degenerative disease such as Alzheimer's compared with people who live at least 600 m from a line.

The time you live near a power line also determines the risk level. Living within close proximity of a line for 15 years or longer doubles your risk compared with someone who has lived close to a power line for less than five years.

These findings are based on a study of 4.7 m people living in Switzerland.

Nearly 100 million Boomers desire wellness, aggressively disregarding authority and conformity.

Boomers do not wish to "grow old gracefully" rather they are seeking ways to hold on to their youth through Reflexology and other forms of complementary medicine.

A new study shows that Baby Boomers Look To Alternative Medicine In Record Numbers. Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

Many boomers demand Reflexology and alternative medicine options because of their frustration with the limitations of mainstream medicine. The most telling evidence of Americans' dissatisfaction with traditional health care is the more than $27 billion they spend annually on alternative and complementary medicine, according to government estimates.

Despite the global economic downturn, Reflexology proves to be recession-proof. As stress levels are spiralling upwards, the need for stress relief has never been greater.

If you are lucky enough to already be a Reflexologist, now is the time to get out there and make yourself well known in your community.

If you want to become a Reflexologist then start training now. Your future services are needed!

Here is a selection of important reports in today's news.

Squelching through mud and wading through water. Kick your shoes off for a sensory stroll along Britain's first reflexology trail.

I am standing on the threshold of Britain's first - and only - barefoot park. It's a sort of playground for feet, an unorthodox nature trail covered with a variety of surfaces; and, amazingly, it's meant to boost our health and vitality. The trail, one kilometre long, is in a partly wooded area in the Italian gardens of the Trentham Estate, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

On a sunny day, it's hugely popular with children and families, says Simon Johnson, the operations manager. It's too bad, then, that on the day I visit the rain is bucketing down and it's deserted, apart from two girls in cagoules sporting muddy limbs and wide grins, with their equally sodden but stoic grandparents. Inspired by their cheeriness, I roll up my trousers, remove my shoes - there are lockers here, as well as foot showers - and gingerly wiggle toes that are unaccustomed to, and a little anxious about, getting touchy-feely with nature.

The latest research suggests that while you are asleep, your brain is busily processing the day's information. It combs through recently formed memories, stabilizing, copying, filing, and making them more useful for the next day.

A night of sleep can make memories resistant to interference from other information and allow you to recall them more effectively. It also lets your brain sift through newly formed memories, possibly even identifying what is worth keeping and what to let go of.
