When It Rains, It Pours in Asia-Pacific

What the world does not need is a natural disaster to add on to the existing man-made disasters of warfare and terrorism. To have a country stricken with an 'act of God' is bad enough but to have a big part of an entire region being affected, all within a week, is totally beyond imagination. And sad.

First, it was Typhoon Ketsana hitting the Philippines, then Samoa and American Samoa hit by an earthquake. Next Typhoon Ketsana moving on to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, then two earthquakes off Sumatra, Indonesia. Tremors could be felt as far away as Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Would it be correct to say that the Asia Pacific region has been 'attacked by nature'?

What a way to start the final quarter of the year!!

Staying healthy and well the natural way

"Somewhere, in our quest for "perfect medicine", we have lost the correct definition of health and seem content to accept obesity, pain, stress, depression, disease, fatigue, etc. as a normal part of the aging process and thus continue in habits that feed these problems."

These are the words of Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHP who founded Oasis Advanced Wellness which was set up in order to help meet the needs of those looking for natural/alternative health care alternatives without using drugs, surgery or radiation.

Lastly, look what I found on their Natural Health Blog, something about dreaming lofty dreams. It is natural to dream, is it not?

A little intro about the video: Paul Potts was a cell-phone salesman who dreamed of spending his life doing what he feels he was born to do. Watch him as he takes a huge step toward that dream.
