26. Dangers of Dehydration - And The Importance of Kidney Cleansing By Andreas Moritz
    The human body is composed of 75 percent water and 25 percent solid matter. To provide nourishment, eliminate waste and regulate all the functions in the body, we need water.

Entire population groups are substituting water with tea, coffee, alcohol and other manufactured beverages. Many people don’t realize that the natural thirst signal of the body is a sign …

28. Radical Healing By Robert Baird
    This title to a book by Rudolph Ballentine deserves more thought than we might give it. The book deserves more thought than I will give it too. It might be of interest to note that Dr. Ballentine is a Duke graduate and likely was affected by the people I speak about in the so-called paranormal sciences. Why is it ‘radical’ to integrate and think or become an informed consumer in the field of medicine or health care? Here is part of the dustcover commentary.“This extraordinary book offers nothi…

    We've all heard, haven't we, that a 40-year-old was considered elderly in the past? With America's aging population, why wouldn't we take advantage of reasons to count ourselves lucky to live beyond 40?

34. Why Do So Many People Seem To Have Allergies? By Susan Yurek

For centuries, even …

40. We Do Know What Causes Autoimmunity! By Heidi Whitaker
    I am constantly reading and hearing that we don't know the cause of autoimmune disorders such as lupus, ALS, Fibromyalgia, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Epstein-Barr, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This is not the case at all.I would agree that pharmaceutical companies have not found a cause of autoimmunity that they can do much about. In mainstream medicine, that translates to not knowing much about the disease. However, outside mainstream medicine, we do know A LOT about the cause behind…



41. Reiki - 3 Keys To Unlocking The Power Within You By Olena Gill
    Like the rest of North America in November of 1995, I had the wonderful opportunity to witness the release of the Beatles' Anthology CD with its feature song entitled "Free As A Bird". What struck me about the accompanying video was the simplicity of the clip - that being, the simple sound of bird's wings. It is as if the person watching was actually the bird flying out the window, across the city, literally having the freedom to travel from one place to the next, harnessed by its own internal…

44. Why are There so Many Fat Kids? By Katherine Martin
    I can remember when there was only one “chubby” kid per class. Now one in three, by my informal survey and the government’s official tally, would be eligible for this form of verbal abuse. Actually, one child in ten is considered morbidly obese and the other two in ten just obese or overweight.It’s not just the couch potato, chip-munching, remote controlled kids with the problem. I see plenty of active, fat kids at the baseball games, soccer tournaments and swim races. Many have normal we…

46. Bach Flower Remedies By Jane Thurnell-Read
    I have to thank my son’s bump on the head for some of my conviction about the benefit of Bach flower remedies. Jon was about a year old and had hit his head quite badly. The bump was swelling before my eyes, and I decided to try out the Bach rescue cream that I’d recently purchased. The bump was partly in his hair and partly on his forehead. I carefully put the cream on – it was difficult to get the cream close to the skin where his hair was. The next day the bruise on his forehead had gone co…
