REVOLUTIONARY ANTI-OXIDANT COMPOUND, FIGHTS INFLAMMATION, STRESS AND FATIGUE

In the era we live in, stress, fatigue, and inflammation are almost impossible to avoid. So if you can't avoid it, then beat it. Deep in the rainforest of the amazon grows one of natures's most powerful anti-inflammatory agents, uncaria tomentosa or "una de gato". Utilizing our proprietary, patented extraction and purification process we concentrated the natural healing properties of this plant to create AC-11R, a revolutionary anti-oxidant compound. Next, by complimenting the power of AC-11R with eight herbal remedies from around the world, we created Avatar 8T, an effective tool to help liberate your body from Inflammation, Stress, and Fatigue.

Codex: FDA 'Vetoes' Optimal Nutrition For Health
At the Codex Alimentarius Food Labelling Committee meeting in Ottawa, Canada, the US delegate Dr Barbara Schneeman of the FDA said that no reference should be made to "optimizing nutrition and health" in guidelines that would encourage "adequate information" on food labels. Was she looking after the interests of Big Food and its cousin Big Pharma, by insisting that optimal nutrition should have no place on food labels or - as transpired later in the same meeting - that even when a food has been genetically modified, such information should not be revealed to consumers.

What's on the Mind of Health-Minded Organic Consumers?
While more shoppers are seeking ways to improve their eating habits with balanced, sensible solutions, deciphering the right food choices isn't always easy, and confusing nutrition information can leave some consumers scratching their heads. To determine what they should consider "better food," many consumers are turning to trusted seals, standards and symbols of higher quality.

Big Pharma Uses Scare Tactics To Keep Americans Buying Prescription Drugs
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. It is reported that the pharmaceutical lobby in the United States actually commissioned the writing of a fiction novel designed to scare Americans into avoiding prescription drugs from Canada. The book was supposed to tell a story of terrorists who altered prescription drugs from Canada in order to kill Americans who were buying them over the internet or crossing the border to buy them at lower prices.

Continuing Our 12-Stage Journey to Wellness
This week our journey focuses on the power of TRANSCENDING, the 12th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. The final form of energy in the wellness energy system is a subtle one that has only recently been given scientific credence. It is the realm of the transcendent or the spiritual (a word that's only now becoming acceptable in everyday speech). The human ability to transcend ordinary consciousness is actually an age-old gift that opens mind and heart to the potential of love, and to the miracle and magnificence of the moment, so often forgotten in the daily grind of our busy lives.

Healthy Bookstore - Real Food Daily Cookbook

The vegan cookbook "Real Food Daily Cookbook: Really Fresh, Really Good, Really Vegetarian" springs from Ann Gentry's experiences at her Southern California restaurant chain. Gentry has attracted a host of followers to her vegan lifestyle by cooking with carefully chosen and imaginatively seasoned fresh, organic ingredients. In making pasta salad, Gentry uses spelt pasta rather than the customary wheat version. With this salad's julienned peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, olives, and toasted pine nuts in balsamic vinaigrette, one needs no extraneous meat. Soymilk substitutes in many recipes for cow's milk, and tofu cheese makes up for the absence of dairy cheese. Tempeh substitutes for meat where necessary.

PASSAGES FROM THE CELTIC MYSTICAL TRAVEL JOURNAL OF FINBARR ROSS AND THE BUTTERFLY TOURS

Scotland: I always find that one can expect the unexpected in Scotland. On our journey we inhaled the majesty of Callenish – the Stonehenge of the north. Many travelers experienced the power of the ancient wisdom stored in these stones in the form of mystical and practical messages. Later we visited the holy valley of Glen Lyon, the birthplace of Pontious Pilate and the site where Joseph of Armethia, was known to have shipped ore from to Rome and the holy lands Here we encountered the legendary five thousand year old yew tree, known for its curative powers.
