Summary of Today's Important Articles on Climate Crisis
New approaches for documenting greenhouse gases and the
status of global warming take many forms. General consensus
is that the current statistics are not disclosing the true
impact.
More on EPA's Testing of Toxic Chemicals on Women & Children
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is being closely
watched for how they research the effect of various
pesticides on humans. While testing on humans is banned,
there appear to be a number of loopholes that need to be
plugged.
EU and US Organic Policies Differ
Studies show that European and American consumers buy
organic food for food safety and health. The biggest
difference between the EU and US organic markets is
government policy. The EU recognizes that organic
agriculture provides environmental and social benefits to
society and actively promotes the growth of the organic
sector with a wide variety of policies designed to increase
the amount of land farmed organically. In contrast, the US
government treats the organic sector primarily as an
expanding market opportunity for producers and regards
organic food as a differentiated product available to
consumers.

At first it seems totally unrelated that gum disease might
affect how we feel in general. However, with the onset of
gum disease there is also present a low-grade infection. If
not checked and treated, this will affect your overall state
of health. In "The Lack of Energy You Feel May Be From Gum
Disease" Flora Parsa Stay, D.D.S. explains that the gum
tissues are very rich in blood vessels and with gum disease
these blood vessels become an easy form of transport of
dangerous infection causing bacteria and their by-products.

Nutrition Tips
In summer, we consume more liquids and raw, fresh fruits and
vegetables, salads, and a lighter diet in general, and we
are usually more active. This is a good season to experiment
with special diets, such as fasting, or a raw food diet. In
"Summer 4-Day Menu Plan" Elson M. Haas, M.D. provides
special "summer" menus, plus 13 menus.
Fabulous Functional Foods
A traditional sorbet contains very little but sugar and
water. The "Coconut-Apple Sorbet" from Danish chef Oscar
Umahro Cadogan contains a fair amount of vitamins, minerals,
trace elements, and enzymes because all the ingredients used
are fresh. Why don't people make sorbets this way all the
time?

MIND-BODY-SPIRIT
The Healer Within
In "Exhale to Compress the Organs" Dr. Roger Jahnke reveals
a breath practice that takes the exhalation of the full
chest and abdominal breath to a radical extreme that
dramatically shifts the pressure in the pelvic, abdominal
and chest cavities. It takes just a few moments, costs
nothing is always with you (just a breath away) and
unleashes a powerful healing energy.
Spiritual Wellness
In "The Spirit of Wellness" Philip Goldberg references
research on spirituality and health. Dozens of experiments
have linked religious participation with various measures of
well-being. However, religious involvement is generally good
for your health only when your spiritual life itself is
healthy. Some of the basic elements of spiritual wellness
include take responsibility, heal religious wounds, go
beyond belief, broaden your base, gather together, and
monitor your progress.
CELTIC MYSTICAL JOURNEYS - ADVERTISEMENT
PASSAGES FROM THE CELTIC MYSTICAL TRAVEL JOURNAL OF FINBARR ROSS AND THE BUTTERFLY TOURS
This last trip to England began in a helicopter with
breathtaking views of 20 of the latest crop circles. The
next day we walked through five of them, and an unexpected
deep and lasting silence fell over everyone as we
experienced this mysterious phenomena. We then quested onto
Avebury and legendary Glastonbury, where everyone
experienced the restorative powers of the sacred waters of
the Chalice Well. This is also a place of the great legend
about Master Jesus visiting here with his uncle Joseph of
Arimathea where he reportedly took the Druid initiations
before going on to India. We had an early morning private
visit among the stones at Stonehenge, and we did a healing
ceremony in the inner temple allowing the travelers to
experience the mystical marriage between the energies of the
now and the ancient wisdom. Only two Mists of Avalon to
Camelot sacred journeys left to England this year: July 24th
and Sept. 4th. To view, click on www.celticmysticaljourneys.com/england.htm
