There’s a simple technique that everyone can do if they are having a heart attack – or if they are with someone who is – that could determine if the attack is fatal or not.
Squeezing the victim’s arm hard for several minutes after an attack could protect up to a quarter of the heart from permanent damage, and it may be the difference between living and dying.
The technique – known as conditioning – works on the simple theory that restricting the flow of blood to an organ stops further damage occurring.
Scientists at Leicester University are researching the technique to discover just how effective it might be.

Sensible walking shoes, designed to give us additional support, are the very worst thing for our knees, and they could increase our chances of developing osteoarthritis. Instead, shoes that have flexible soles, and even flip-flop sandals, are kinder on our joints, a new study has discovered. Continue reading “Walking shoes are bad for our knees”

I have long been an admirer of Dr Gary Schwartz, just to write his credentials would take up a whole page! Suffice to say he is the “real deal.” I bought his book “The Energy Healing Experiments” which validates energy healing, and devoured every word. His scientific explorations and information on Reiki energy is powerful and compelling. Anyone who says negative things about Reiki, and how is is “not proven” has obviously not read this book, and seen the evidence and scientific data that Dr Schwartz has worked so hard to publish. He validates Reiki, from a specific scientific standpoint, as a very valid and effective healing modality.
Here is a small clip of him speaking, and below that is a link to his book “The Energy Healing Experiments”. . I highly recommend that you watch the video clip, it is quite short under 10 minutes, and then buy the book to read the evidence for your self.
And here is the book that got me so excited when I found it, I could not put down till I read every page. For any person interested in any type of energy healing (and he covers most of them in the book) this is a MUST BUY!
Speaking personally, the most profound and easy to use form of energy healing is Reiki. I have used Reiki now for 18 years, and have seen the most amazing healings of body, mind and spirit happen. You owe it to yourself and your family to read this book to see the science behing energy healing. You also owe it to yourself and your family to take a course and learn Reiki. Your life will never be the same again.

Well, given that today is Valentine’s Day, I had to find some research relating to chocolate, didn’t I!
A total of 42 healthy subjects received an acute dose of flavan-3-ol-enriched dark, standard dark or white chocolate, in random order.
Flavan-3-ols in dark chocolate, but also compounds in white chocolate, can improve platelet function, dependent on gender, and may thus beneficially affect atherogenesis.
