More than ever before in history, humans are faced with an overwhelming amount of stress. This leads to debilitating illnesses, addictions, and depression. We need all the help we can get. Jed Diamond suggests that help can be found through energy healing, “[N]o matter how we got sick, no matter what the problem is, if you can get at the energetic under story and be able to heal things at the energetic level, then, in a sense, you also heal all the chemical actions up here. But, if you’re only dealing with the top stories you’re not dealing at the roots. You can be taking care of things up here, which we do in modern medicine with symptoms–we get the symptoms to go away–but we never get at the root of the problem.”. This dialogue focuses on tools and resources to guide both men and women toward better health and well-being. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

Interesting program on NPR. As someone who has practiced Karate since 1971, as well as Tai Chi & Qigong I went to Okinawa to train this April and had my eys opened in a number of ways as well as confirmation of some of my beliefs.
First comment is diet – hi carb, vegetables and fish. Second exercise. Third non confrontational spiritual principles. Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and various native beliefs and many people cross all those.
1st week – saw no fat people – a key top a healthy population. Now back home I try to encourage people to take up traditional karate and I teach free in the park. It depresses me when I am in the grocery and see people half my age who have to lean on the cart to get around the store and then I look in their cart at the checkout and that tells part of the story.
One good step would be to take HFCS out of food – back in the UK before coming here in 2002 I had never heard of this stuff until we found that bread tasted awful and it had HFCS in it. You have to trie hard to avoid this stuff. Recent research says that it suppresses the body’s ability to know when it has had enough food. If we exercised, ate and had the stress of the Okinawans we could statistically close 80% of the cardiac centers in the USA.
