Welcome to summer! We hope this newsletter finds you well and healthy. However, if you or anyone in your family are in need of minor health tune-ups or have significant health problems, this issue may offer you solutions. For starters, those of you with children will want to take advantage of a special program we are offering this summer -- $20 Well-Child Visits during July and August. These services can help ensure that your children's health is the best it can be for their age and stage of development. You’ll also find information about our practitioner-care services, which allow you more time for one-on-one consultation. And if you haven't heard about our low-cost services for those with HIV/AIDS, be sure to read about them below. In addition, you can discover how acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help with common health concerns, and why both drinking juice and taking iron can improve your brain's functioning.

Another Choice for Your Health Care at Bastyr: Practitioner Care
Through Bastyr Center for Natural Health's team-care approach to healing, you'll see a licensed practitioner and two to three students, allowing for individualized treatments and generous practitioner time. However, if you prefer not to be treated in the team-care system of Bastyr University's teaching clinic, you may make an appointment to see a physician or acupuncturist with Bastyr’s practitioner care. In practitioner care, you will see a clinician one-on-one and receive the same generous and thorough approach to your care. Find out more.
Bastyr Continues to Provide Care for People with HIV/AIDS
In our Immune Wellness Care shifts, we offer complementary and alternative health care to more than 200 people living with HIV/AIDS. Services include naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition consultation, physical medicine, and counseling. HIV+ patients at Bastyr consistently report improved quality of life and greater satisfaction with their overall medical care as a result of their treatment with us. Bastyr services are especially effective in treating symptoms and side effects of medications. Although we no longer receive Ryan White federal grant funding, we remain committed to offering HIV/AIDS patients low-cost, supportive complementary care. Learn more.
Clinician Profile: Jane Guiltinan, ND, Devotes Leadership Skills to Natural Medicine
If Jane Guiltinan wished to be a singer, she would likely be performing on Broadway right now. If she were interested in politics, she’d probably be on a presidential cabinet. But from a young age, Dr. Guiltinan has dedicated herself to medicine and improving the lives of others. As a result, Bastyr Center for Natural Health has benefited from this incredible leader and talented physician who has profoundly impacted her students, her patients and the field of natural medicine.
Read more about how Jane Guiltinan has become an influential ND.

A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that taking zinc supplements significantly reduces seniors' chances of getting infections. This is thought to be a result of zinc's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, both of which improve immune function. Dietary zinc intake tends to decrease with age, and so as we grow older, supplementing becomes even more important.
