 American Indians and alaska Natives: 99,500, or 12.8 percent of American Indians and alaska natives age 20 years or older who received care from Indian Health Service (IHS) in 2003 had diagnosed diabetes. Some 118,000 (15.1 percent) American Indians and alaska natives age 20 years or older have diabetes (both diagnosed and undiagnosed). Taking into account population age differences, American Indians and alaska natives are 2.2 times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. |

 Apparently her husband had severe symptoms, and his health had declined even more since they retired and moved to Anchorage, alaska, at 61 degrees north latitude. Of course, my jaw dropped when she said "Alaska." Not enough sun, not enough vitamin D!
Next, Roseanna and her husband came to see me when they were visiting for the holidays. Both Roseanna and Kyle had severe vitamin D deficiency; their levels were 18, and their PTH levels were elevated. Fortunately, they began vitamin D supplementation and were able to eliminate their seasonal depression, year-round fatigue, and muscle aches. |

 Alaska, Canada, and the northern mountains of the continental United States. Alaskan natives, such as the Inupiats, used rhodiola as a medicine and a food. Many of these groups used the flowers, both infused and decocted, as a treatment for gastrointestinal ailments, fevers, tuberculosis, and as a general analgesic.
Other Possible Adaptogenic Species in North America
There is one species of licorice that is native to North America, Glycyr-rhiza lepidota. It grows from western Ontario to Washington State and south to Texas, Mexico, and Missouri. |

 Sun and snow in California
With no major glaciers outside alaska, the United States might imagine itself immune to the water crisis bearing down on Peru. It could not be more wrong. Towns and cities all the way up America's west coast are heavily dependent on frozen mountain water - not from glacial ice this time, but from winter snows. In the great river basins of California, Washington and Oregon, far more water is stored in snow-pack during the spring and early summer than in man-made reservoirs behind dams. |

 According to Oceans Alive, a division of the Environmental Defense Fund, fish high in omega-3 s that are caught or farmed in an ecologically sound manner and are low in contaminants include wild salmon from alaska (fresh, frozen, and canned), Atlantic mackerel and herring, sardines, sablefish, anchovies, and farmed oysters.
White-fleshed fish, on the other hand, is lower in fat than any other source of animal protein. They're also loaded with vitamins and minerals and are incredibly low calorie. |

 The wood frog, Rana sylvatica, is a cute little critter about two inches long with a dark mask across its eyes like Zorro's that lives across North America, from northern Georgia all the way up to alaska, including north of the Arctic Circle. On early spring nights you can hear its mating call—a "brack, brack" that sounds something like a baby duck's. But until winter ends, you won't hear the wood frog at all. Like some animals, the wood frog spends the entire winter unconscious. |

 These four once-rare plants now grow in giant single-species stands that cover more than half a billion hectares—twice the entire forested area of the United States, including alaska. But how secure is the foundation of modern industrial agriculture?
Farmers, politicians, and environmental historians have used the term soil exhaustion to describe a wide range of circumstances. Technically, the concept refers to the end state following progressive reduction of crop yields when cultivated land no longer supports an adequate harvest. |

| Alpine mountain glaciers in Sweden and Norway also melt rapidly, along with those in alaska and northern Canada. Although compared to the polar ice masses of Greenland and Antarctica their water content is tiny, if all the small ice caps and glaciers were to melt together, global sea levels would rise by a quarter of a metre.
These changes are reflected in other areas of the Arctic. |
| Both agricultural expansion and increased wildfires would very likely destroy large areas of boreal forest across subarctic regions of Canada, alaska, Scandinavia and Russia, putting still more carbon in the atmosphere and accelerating the worldwide loss of biodiversity. But I suspect the survival of the Siberian tiger would be a secondary concern in a world where human survival was itself becoming increasingly precarious. The tiger - and the taiga - would have to go. |
| As the process accelerates, large areas of Siberia, alaska, Canada and even southern Greenland fall into the melt zone, where unstable soils shift and collapse underneath roads, houses and other infrastructure. In the Russian Far East, towns like Yakutsk, Noril'sk and Vorkuta find themselves built on quicksand. The Trans-Siberian Railway suffers extensive subsidence along its track, with changes even endangering a nuclear power plant at Bilibino. All around the Arctic Ocean, increased erosion from storms and rising sea levels destroys shoreline villages and settlements. |

 In late 2006, a scandal erupted when a plaintiff's lawyer from alaska sent internal company documents obtained during a court case against Eli Lilly, the maker of Zyprexa, to a reporter at the New York Times. The newspaper reported that the documents, which included e-mail, marketing material, sales projections, and scientific reports, showed that the company had hidden information about the drug's potential to cause severe side effects. |

The rest of the medical school remained either uninterested in Wennberg's message or distrustful. Megan McAndrew came from the Office of Public Affairs at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, the medical school's hospital, in 1993 to help the team create reports for the Clinton health care plan. When colleagues asked her whom she was working for, she would tell them, "the Black Prince," with no further explanation needed. |

 Other Uses
Shamans of the Tlingit tribe in alaska fast and take devil's club as part of their initiation. The herb is traditionally hung over doorways and on fishing boats or worn in a medicine pouch as a protective amulet. It is also sometimes burned as incense or prepared as a bath herb for spiritual purification. The powdered root can be used as a deodorant. |

| In one modelling study, the rain-bearing low-pressure systems get shunted further north towards Canada and southern alaska, and away from the drought-scarred plains of the western US. The result is a precipitous 30 per cent drop in rainfall throughout the entire west coast of America. Water shortages propagate far inland, bringing drought emergencies to eleven US states from Nevada to Wyoming. Moreover, as discussed in chapter 1, the changes are but one part of the wider tendency of world weather belts to contract towards the poles as global temperatures rise. |

 An Illusory Reprieve
In the aftermath of the OPEC oil embargo, Congress approved the construction of an 800-mile pipeline—much of it over delicate tundra terrain— to transport oil from fields at the extreme northern rim of alaska south to terminals on the Pacific Ocean. The alaska North Slope fields had been discovered in the 1960s —in fact, they represented the last major discoveries within U.S. sovereign territory. But extremely harsh conditions above the Arctic Circle had weighed against their exploitation until the shock of the OPEC embargo. |

¦ Keep your car clean and well maintained. Dirty air and fuel filters reduce gas mileage, as does low tire pressure. Also, refrain from using your car as a storage unit—the more weight you're carrying around, the lower your gas mileage will be.
No matter what you drive, you can benefit from the above suggestions. But if you own a hybrid, you can squeeze out even more outrageously good mileage by knowing how to best drive your vehicle, as follows:
¦ Accelerate quickly from a stop. |

 Cancer 44: 27-42, 1994] Residents in alaska have substantially higher colon-rectal cancer rates than do Americans living in the state of Washington. [International Journal Epidemiology 27: 388-96, 1998]
The lowest global rate of colon cancer is in Poona, India, 2.8 per 100,000 persons. Poona, India is located near the equator where people are exposed to intense solar ultraviolet radiation that produces vitamin D, a known protective factor against colon cancer, and where the diet is largely vegetarian.

The prostate cancer belt in the world is in northern climates where vitamin D production from sunlight exposure is low, especially during winter months. [Cancer 70:2861-69, 1992]
While it has been said that physical exercise reduces prostate cancer risk, the fact that physical activity often increases hours spent outdoors in the sun may suggest it is vitamin D rather than physical exercise itself that reduces risk for this type of cancer. |

 Bauer, of Creighton University, Nebraska, who reported on October 26, 1934: "Due to susceptibility to tuberculosis and other diseases the average life span of the Eskimo of alaska is only 20 years and their race is doomed to extinction within a few generations unless modern medical science comes to their aid." The Masai tribes of East Africa live on mostly cows' blood and milk, and meat. Their average life span is 60. A typical 45-year-old man looks about 20 to 30 years older. |

This supplement contains no preservatives and no chemical additives. It's far superior to many cherry products on the market because it isn't an extract and it's not simply powdered cherry fruit: It's a unique concentrate based on a new fruit processing technology that packs an enormous amount of natural cherry medicines into a tiny (and delicious) softgel. (Vegans, please note this is not a 100% vegan product because the softgel is made with a small amount of gelatin mixed with beeswax. |

 In order to learn how cold weather affects human physiology, researchers give a total of 200 doses of iodine-131, a radioactive tracer that concentrates almost immediately in the thyroid gland, to 85 healthy Eskimos and 17 Athapascan Indians living in alaska. They study the tracer within the body by blood, thyroid tissue, urine and saliva samples from the test subjects. Due to the language barrier, no one tells the test subjects what is being done to them, so there is no informed consent (Goliszek).
