The Beginnings of Medicine, via the Back Passage.
Hello, Mick here.
When I should have been in short pants, but didn’t have any, medicine was hardly a tonic.
The nearest comparable thing to modern medicine was a type of Acupuncture
The most noticeable difference between it then, and now, is the needles.
We didn’t have medical grade stainless steel.
What we did have though, was an ample supply of bamboo chutes.
While these were considered organic, whatever that is, they were somewhat larger in diameter.

Business of Sharing Your Gift
If you are like me, you started your business because you care about people. You have a special gift that, when shared, can change people’s lives for the better. You are not in this for the money or to buy lots of toys and extravagant “things”. The point is to make a difference and serve a purpose. Many of us have stepped away from the corporate world – the RAT RACE – and are finding the peace we always knew was there. We are reconnecting with what is important.

Subtle Energy for Healing; The Work of Dr. Yury Kronn
In 1933 came the first hint that something was horribly wrong with Modern Physics' view of the universe. The galaxies and star clusters were moving away from each other, and doing it in ways that just couldn't be possible given the basic assumptions of science at the time. From that day forward, scientists have been baffled and befuddled as the view of reality continued to depart from the mechanized nuts and bolts world of the 19th Century, into a fuzzier, more etheric and maleable one.

Seizures in Pets
Witnessing your precious dog or cat having a seizure can be a most frightening experience. During seizures pets often lose control, fall over, chomp their teeth, salivate or drool, whine, paddle with their feet, and begin to urinate or deficate on themselves. Their eyes become large (dilated) and unresponsive. A pet caregiver feels panicked and helpless while watching it all happen. Hopefully, you and your pet have never, and will never, have to experience this shocking event. But, if y ...

Work with electrical fields that surround animals and plants suggests the presence of an energy body.

The Kirlian photographs taken reveal it still to be there as an etheric body, perhaps a 'holographic energy template' ...

West Nile Virus, although new to the U.S., is well-documented. The Centers for Disease Control identifies it as a flavivirus, a member of the Togavirus family.

This is exciting, because it means the virus is accessible to treatment utilizing high quality St. John's Wort (SJW). Several studies have been done ...
