Surely the most powerful of the several factors influencing our health is what we eat.  It also spills over into health for the planet, which reverberates back again to health for us humans.  As reported on National Public Radio (NPR) on August 9th, “There's a movement afoot aimed at changing the way we eat one day a week.”

My family has a small business in Costa Rica producing pure carao fruit extract. Carao is a wild tropical fruit that has shown amazing properties as a natural remedy for anemia in both humans and animals, with no side effects.

In 2005, through donations of carao fruit to Dr. Attahiru Sokoto (a Nigerian pediatrician), we discovered that carao fruit is extremely effective at eliminating the symptoms of Sickle Cell anemia in both children and adults.  Sickle Cell Disease is very common in Africa and India, and the symptoms are both painful and debilitating.  read more »

I am Rudradevananda, have been working as a Yoga teacher and other relief work since 18 Years. Our Organization sent me to Orissa last year.

Over 58,000 American service people died in the Viet Nam war, over 100,000 have since committed suicide. Sadly, such problems will continue as veterans return from Iraq and Afghanistan.

I recently returned to Viet Nam, after being there 37 years ago.  I journeyed with Ed and Kate, my wife Valerie and 10 others, four of whom were other Viet Nam veterans. I am not the same person I was before going.

I read War and the Soul in July and from that time on, my life took a direction all of its own. Something deep within me was touched. For years, I never even considered the thought of going back to a country that for me represented so much lost innocence, grief, terror and confusion.  read more »

I generally get annoyed with solicitors. I understand that they have a job they need to perform, and like everyone (except 2%) in our country, they need to work. It’s not their fault that they have a job that unfortunately irritates the most patient people. Nor is it their fault that they feel they have a product that people really ought to have.

Unfortunately, I have joined the solicitor ranks and should I begin to annoy you, you can always turn the page. However, what makes me different from a solicitor is that I am not going to sell you a product. I am going to simply tell you about it. I have one advantage over my competitors and it is that I am going to tell you about a book. (This shows how well I know my market. Being Theosophists and members of the Theosophical Order of Service, chances are you love to read. It’s an affliction we all have so no need to feel odd.)  read more »
