Homeopathy wins in test with medicine

Homeopathy has been proved more successful and cost-effective than conventional medicine in the first comparison of the two approaches.

Proof of its effectiveness has emerged from an extensive study of its use in treating chronic disorders such as back pain. The study ignored the question of how homeopathy might work and focused on how well it performs.

Researchers in Germany recruited more than 400 adults and children with long-term health problems ranging from sinusitis to insomnia and depression.

Half were treated using conventional therapy; the other half were treated homeopathically. After six months, the condition of the patients treated homeopathically had improved significantly more, and more quickly, than the others while the cost for each was similar.

Are Near Death Experiences Real?

He said: First the car filled up with water, and everything went all blank. Then I died. I went into a huge noodle. It wasn't like a spiral noodle, but it was very straight. When I told my Mom about it, I told her it was a noodle, but it must have been a tunnel, because it had a rainbow in it. Noodles don't have rainbows in them.


I was pushed along by wind, and I could float. I saw two tunnels in front of me, a human tunnel and an animal tunnel. First I went in the animal tunnel, and a bee gave me honey.
Then I saw the human heaven. It was like a castle, not all broken down, just a regular castle. As I looked at it, I heard some music. It was very loud, and it stuck in my head."
Although prior to his near death experience, Chris had little interest in music, since his near drowning, his mother bought him a keyboard and he has taught himself to play the heavenly music he heard.


NOT CULTURAL MYTHS
Chris clearly saw something he thought was real. The image of a rainbow in a noodle is so unique, it is unlikely to have its source in our cultural psychology. I had certainly never heard of one before. But was it really real?

Chris's question goes right to the heart of the problem, as is typical for a child. As he pointed out, if his experience was real, then "you'll have to tell all the old people, so they won't be afraid to die".

Are near death experiences actually the dying experience, the result of normal brain function at the point of death? Or, are they the result of brain dysfunction creating a hallucination triggered by the biological stresses of dying, drugs, and a lack of oxygen to the brain?

Sufi Holy Man Teaches Peace and Healing in U.S.

One of the Middle East's most passionate and long-time peace advocates visits Lake Arrowhead, California, July 18-22 to conduct free classes teaching peace through the holy Sufi way.


(PRWEB) July 15, 2005 -- Hundreds of Americans are waiting patiently to greet and learn lessons of peace and healing from a spiritual guide. They will gather in a ballroom in a resort at Lake Arrowhead the week of July 18-22 with great anticipation, eagerly awaiting the chance to sit at the feet of a holy man and absorb his teachings of peace, love, mercy, justice and freedom.

Although this 70-year-old man is considered by many to be one of the holiest men on Earth, and comes from the very cradle of Christianity in Jerusalem, he is not a Christian. He is a Muslim, and a Sufi. He is Shaykh Muhammad Said al-Jamal ar-Rifa'i ash-Shadhuli, affectionately called Sidi by his seven million students world-wide.

And when this humble servant of God enters the ballroom, he brings the pure light of God with him that is rarely seen in other religious leaders, say his followers.Usually modest, humble, and gentle in his manner, Sidi is roused to passion when speaking of his work for world peace. He is vehemently against war and killing, destroying homes, preventing aid from reaching the needy, destruction of natural resources, and imprisoning innocent people.

He is a passionate advocate for world peace, the unifying force of spiritual love, mercy, justice and freedom for all people everywhere. His audiences say that just listening to him speak can be an inspirational and healing experience, and that his message of peace from the Middle East gives hope for real and lasting world peace.

This extraordinary man and spiritual guide is scheduled to lead special classes for healers and peacemakers to help translate Sufi concepts of peace into practical life skills. All are welcome to join Sidi’s classes; enrollment in The Jaffe Institute Healing School is not required. There is no charge for the classes for first-time students, but donations are accepted.

The classes are scheduled during the Jaffe Institute’s summer Healing School session July 18-22, 2005, which is held at the Lake Arrowhead Resort in Lake Arrowhead, California.


For registration details, please visit the Jaffe Institute’s web site at www.jaffeinstitute.org.

ABOUT SIDISidi’s advocacy for world peace began with his forefathers. He is a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad through his ancestor, Shaykh Ahmad ar-Rifa`i. He was born in Tulkum in the Holy Land in 1935. He is the spiritual inheritor through the Shadhili line from his Guide and Master, Shaykh Abdu-r-Rahman Abu-r-Risah of Halab of Syria, and has worked hard to keep Sufism alive as a school of thought and spiritual knowledge.

In 1997 Sidi restored the 1000-year-old Sufi Council that served in the Holy Land. He has been a teacher and central figure at the Masjid al-Aqsa or the Dome of the Rock for many years.A retired judge, Sidi made his first visit to America in 1994 and continues to accept invitations to visit the USA each year to give seminars and teach at schools and centers across the United States.

Recognized by world leaders as an international spiritual guide, Sidi was one of the primary speakers invited to the United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit in August 2000.

The head teacher at one of the three holiest mosques in Islam, Sidi is a prominent spiritual leader at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, and is one of the best known spiritual leaders in the Muslim community. He is also Head of the Higher Sufi Council in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, as well as a long-time advocate of world peace.

“Psychic Internet Experiment” Will Attempt To Remotely Influence G-8 Summit Leaders to "Make Poverty History"

A meditation expert from the UK is conducting an experiment in which Web site visitors will be asked to take part in a meditation to psychically influence leaders of the G-8 summit to make poverty history.

(PRWEB) July 7, 2005 -- Meditation expert Matt Clarkson from the UK is conducting an experiment in which Web site visitors will be asked to take part in a meditation to psychically influence leaders of the G-8 summit to make poverty history.The experiment has been designed to coincide with the G-8 summit being held at Gleneagles where poverty in Africa and the issue of global warming will top the agenda.

Visitors to the Web site www.ThinkAndMakePovertyHistory.com will be taken through a 15-minute guided meditation that involves the use of their emotions, their imagination and the focusing of their will and intent to apparently make real changes in the world.The thinking behind the experiment can be traced to Napoleon Hill, author of the best-selling book, “Think and Grow Rich.” In the book, Dr. Hill talks about what we now refer to as “The Law of Attraction” and the belief that whatever we think and feel in our hearts and minds becomes our tangible reality. Dr. Hill also argued that people throughout the world are in fact universally connected at a sufficiently deep enough level of consciousness.

About Matt ClarksonMatt Clarkson is the editor of SpiritualGrowthMonthly.com and author of the book and home study program, “Secrets of Meditation, Health and Manifestation.”
