Osteoporosis and Supporting the Bones

Dear Mike,
I am concerned about osteoporosis, as a number of my family members have had it. I know that calcium is good for me, but there are so many types of calcium that I am confused about which type to purchase. Can you offer any advice?

Dear Mike,
My husband has had a problem with an enlarged prostate. He tried taking medication, but didn't like the way it made him feel. His doctor told him about a couple of herbs that may be helpful. What do you know about these?

Supporting a Healthy Mind
Dear Mike,
Once I turned 45, my mind just seemed to stop working as well as it did in my youth. I often forget things and have "muddy" thoughts, but have been tested for Alzheimer's and my doctor isn't worried for me. He said it is just a part of aging. Do you have any suggestions to improve my thinking ability?

Children's Concentration
Dear Mike,
My son was recently diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. We are at a loss as to how to help him with his studies and how to feel him to keep him from being hyperactive. Can you offer any tips to help? My doctor suggested that we could look at natural approaches before placing him on medications? What can you tell me about it?

Supporting Digestive Function: The Soul of Health
Dear Mike,
It seems the entire world has digestive problems and fatigue issues. I count myself in that group. I read probiotics and enzymes help, but can you suggest anything that might help?

Immune System Health
Dear Mike,
I have an extremely difficult job that creates a lot of stress for me, which usually results in getting a cold. I just read about an ancient Chinese herbal formula to enhance the immune system. Do you have any information about it?
