MOVIES THAT INSPIRE, HEAL AND TRANSFORM

The SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLE offers a service that's unique and deeply needed. The CIRCLE gives you a way to bring hours of inspiring entertainment into your life each month, while making an important contribution to the world. In addition, it's an incredible bargain. If, like me, you love movies, but you find it harder and harder to go to theaters because of the violence, emptiness and overall lack of quality and imagination that most of the current crop represents, The CIRCLE is a wonderful opportunity.

Global Battle Erupts Over Vitamin Supplements

Blood Mercury Levels and Worse Neurobehavioral Performance in Older Adults
Recent regulations for mercury emissions, the increasing trend in fish-consumption advisories, clinical studies, and heightened media attention have led to the emergence of mercury as a leading public health concern. However, in a study of older adults, researchers did NOT find a definitive association between blood mercury levels, which can become elevated with fish consumption, and adverse neurobehavioral effects.

CAFTA May Face Test In Congress
A growing number of Senators and House members in both parties are finding reason to oppose the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).

CONTINUING OUR 12-STAGE JOURNEY TO WELLNESS
This week our journey focuses on MOVING, the 5th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. Everything in us is moving. The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate. To be alive is to be moving. Inhibit the movement and you create illness. Stop movement and you are dead. Allow it fully and you realize wellness. Because of this movement, everything is changing from moment to moment. To block movement therefore is to block change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life.

Healthy Bookstore - Death by Modern Medicine

"Death by Modern Medicine" written by Carolyn Dean, M.D. goes beyond the statistics of deaths due to drugs. It shows how the medical monopoly that created the system in the first place is allowed to control health care.

Nutrition Tips
Some conservative nutritionists believe that eating a balanced diet provides all the vitamins you need. Michael Janson, M.D. disagrees and supports his strong convictions in "Why You Need Vitamins." Important reading.
