If one is convinced a changing room has spy mirror installed,

one can always smash the mirror, make a big fuss & demand that the

police be called. Much more effective than simply leaving the

establishment to continue spying on other customers.

My main teacher, Dr.Li and my first clinical preceptor, David Frierman,

have completed the first draft of their book on renal diseases. Dr. Li,in

addition to her lifelong training in TCM and the classics, is also a

medical doctor who was chief of renal pathology at her provincial hospital

for many years. Dr. Li realized early on in her medical practice that her

background in TCM was infinitely valuable in the treatment of kidney

disease. Many patients did not have access to dialysis in the early days

of her practice and even now in the west, the treatment of kidney disease

remains rather extreme and not very effective longterm (basically dialysis

or transplant). Some chinese herbs appear to regenerate kidney cells in

vitro and improve symptoms in vivo. David, a longtime practitioner of

martial arts and an acupuncturist for over 15 years, was one of the first

teachers I had to put strong emphasis on TCM and raw herbs. While I only

worked with him early in my training, he has always impressed me with his

dedication and scholarship. He has devoted his entire professional career

to delivering TCM to low income patients. This book will be a welcome

addition to the TCM literature. Bravo David and Li Wei; please pass my

message to Dr. Li. OCOM is beginning to distinguish itself as a source of

textbook writers with Guohui Liu last year and now you guys.

My main teacher, Dr.Li and my first clinical preceptor, David Frierman, have completed the first draft of their book on renal diseases. Dr. Li,in addition to her lifelong training in TCM and the classics, is also a >>>Who is the publisher?

The outline looks fabulous. I will look forward to seeing it in print.

I wonder if they used one Chinese text on kidney diseases, " Shi yong

zhong yi shen bing xue " as a source text. That is one that Miki Shima

recommended to me.

WOW!!!!!!!!! THIS HITS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

FW: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS HITS HOME!!!!!!!!

 

This is without a doubt one of the nicest good luck forwards I have

received. Hope it works for you -- and me!

You have 6 minutes

 

There's some mighty fine advice in these words, even if you're not

superstitious. This has been sent To you for good luck from the

Anthony

Robbins organization. It has been sent around the world ten times so

Far.

 

Do not keep this message.

 

must leave your hands in 6 MINUTES. Otherwise you will get a very

unpleasant surprise. This is true, even if you are not superstitious,

agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.

 

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

 

 

TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their

conversational skills will be as important as any other.

 

 

THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you

want.

 

 

FOUR. When you say, " I love you, " mean it.

 

 

FIVE. When you say, " I'm sorry, " look the person in the eye.

 

 

SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

 

 

SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.

 

 

EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams

don't

have much.

 

 

NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the

only

way to live life completely.

 

 

TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

 

 

ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.

 

 

TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.

 

 

THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer,

smile

and ask, " Why do you want to know? "

 

 

FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great

risk.

 

 

FIFTEEN. Say " bless you " when you hear someone sneeze.

 

 

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson

 

 

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for

others;

and responsibility for all your actions.

 

 

EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

 

 

NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps

to

correct it.

 

 

TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in

your

voice.

 

 

TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

 

Now, here's the FUN part!

Send this to at least 5 people and your life will improve. 1-4 people:

Your life will improve slightly.

5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking.

9-14 people: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next 3 weeks

 

15 and above: Your life will improve drastically and everything you

ever

dreamed of will begin to take shape.

 

A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your

heart.

A degree in a growing field: organic farming studies at UFwww.MiamiHerald.com | 09/02/2006 |A degree in a growing field: organic farming studies at UFUniversity of Florida students can now major in organic agriculture, apioneering program at the Gainesville-based school.BY NOAH BIERMANnbierman The University of Florida is pioneering a program this semester to letstudents in on the hottest trend in food -- organic farming.UF is among three universities in the country offering an organicagriculture degree for the first time this year. The new programs come asretail giant Wal-Mart begins selling mass quantities of the organic food,which is free of pesticides and chemical fertilizer.''Quite

frankly, there just are not enough organic farmers out there thathave the technical skills to meet the demand,'' said Ryan Zinn, nationalcampaign coordinator for the Organic Consumers Organization, whichadvocates for legal changes to promote the industry. ``The changingconsumer preferences toward organic, and really a localized food system,is not a flash in the pan.''Colorado State University and Washington State University are the othertwo schools initiating new programs. UF has offered a minor in organicfarming for a year and a popular organic gardening elective course sincethe early 1990s, said Dan Cantliffe, chairman of UF's horticulturalsciences department.''We had more and more interest from students, as well as more and morerequests from organic businesses in and out of the state of Florida,''Cantliffe said.The minor has attracted 12 to 15 students. Three students have signed

upfor the major so far -- a trickle in the 4,000-student agriculturalschool.But the numbers could grow quickly. More Americans than ever are willingto spend a few extra dollars on a carton of milk or a batch ofstrawberries if they believe the food is healthier.The industry represents about 2 to 3 percent of all food and beveragesales. But sales have grown more than 20 percent a year since 1990, from$1 billion in 1990 to $13.8 billion in 2005, according to the OrganicTrade Association. Small farmers have been boosted by the growth becauseit's one of the few areas where they can earn a premium.''If I want to stay in this area as a [small] farmer, I've got tochange,'' said Arturo Gonzalez, who is converting the 10 acres he owns inHomestead into a mix of organic fruits, herbs and vegetables.Gonzalez said he farmed organic -- though he didn't call it that -- whenhe worked with

his father in Cuba. When he came to Miami in 1970, hecouldn't grow a pest-free crop without chemicals and switched toconventional farming. He made plans to switch back after the federalgovernment initiated organic standards in 2002 and he became convinced itwas a growth area.He said he is thrilled to see UF training a new generation in naturalfarming methods. ``That's the fastest growing segment in agriculture.''Cantliffe believes organic farming will remain a niche -- albeit asignificant one -- in the agricultural market because chemicals helpconventional farmers produce larger, better quality crops than organicfarmers can grow without the aid of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.''There's too many people on the planet and there's no way that you'regoing to feed them by converting everything to organic,'' he said."Get off your ass and take your government back." ~Rocky

GREENTOWARDS A "DO-SOMETHING CONGRESS"In last week's issue of PR Watch (http://www.prwatch.org), author ConorKenny gave readers some insight into the work ethic of the U.S. Congress in2006. Pointing out that President Harry S. Truman infamously derided the1947-1948 Congress as the "Do-Nothing Congress" for meeting for only 108days, Kenny ponders what Truman would have thought of our modern-dayCongress, which is projected to spend only 79 days in session in 2006."While most Americans returned from their holiday vacation in the first weekof January, the House took nearly the entire month off, commencing thesession on January 31st," says Kenny. "In February, the House met for only47 hours, an average work week for many Americans." As the 2006 electionseason heats up, the Organic Consumers Fund needs your help to build a newCongress that will work hard to bring issues of environmental sustainabilityand human

health to the forefront of American politics.

Here are some quickstatistics from the report:* Net farm income is forecast to be $54.4 billion in 2006, down from2005 by $19.4 billion (a 26% decline).* Government payments are forecast to decline $6.2 billion.* The average family farm will generate 86.7 percent of their incomefrom off-farm sources in 2006.

http://www.ers.usda.gov/Features/farmincome/2006/August/ORGANIC FARMERS & OIL PIPELINE REACH A COMPROMISEA ground-breaking legal precedent was established last week between organicfarmers, consumers, and oil pipeline companies. OCA, following a legalinitiative spearheaded by Gardens of Eagan and supported by other organicfarms in Minnesota, alerted our Minnesota network about the state's plan toallow the construction of an oil pipeline that would have cut across severalorganic farms, thereby undermining or destroying the farms' hard-foughtorganic certification. Thanks to the Minnesota organic community and thewillingness of the Minnesota Pipeline Company to respect organic farms, anew legal precedent has been established in the state that essentiallyprovides special protections to organic farms (given the expensive anddifficult process of acquiring organic certification).

According to RonnieCummins, National Director of the Organic Consumers Association, "Part ofthe reason for taking this legal action was not only to prevent thispipeline from disrupting several organic farms in Minnesota but also to seta legal precedent for any other organic farms in the state, or anywhere inthe United States."Learn more: http://www.organicconsumers.org/2006/article_1972.cfmWe rely on your donations to continue our work on these important issues!Donate Now!http://www.organicconsumers.org/donations.htm_BOOK OF THE WEEK: THE GREAT BIRD FLU HOAXA new book by renowned physician and dietary expert Dr. Joseph Mercola seeksto expose what he calls a "U.S. government hoax" regarding avian flu.

riceunapproved for human consumption has contaminated the U.S. food supply.Since then, Japan has banned imports of U.S. rice, while the EU is requiringthat all rice imports from the U.S. be tested for contamination. With theU.S rice industry in turmoil, the USDA admits it has no idea how extensivethe contamination is. Rice farmers say they don't feel the USDA isadequately monitoring the biotech industry. "This is real money that farmersare losing," said Arkansas Rice Growers Association Executive Director GregYielding, who said he has fielded dozens of calls from frantic rice farmers."It is a big deal. We do not feel that USDA and APHIS have adequate funds orstaff to do this job. They can't tell you where anything is even though theyget permits for it."Learn more: http://www.organicconsumers.org/2006/article_1865.cfmIDIOTS GUIDE TO THE GE DEBATE: As the biotech industry continues to developnew propaganda for

Schoolsacross the U.S. are back in session, and a number of colleges are movingaway from business as usual toward sustainability and health. The Universityof Washington in Seattle is just one of many examples of how educationalinstitutions can set an example for how to do things the right way:* UW students are exploring how to use cooking oil from campus eateriesto fuel university cars.* The student body agreed to pay up to $10.50 a quarter to buy renewableelectricity -- becoming one of the first in the state to go 100 percentgreen on the main campus.* Food compost from the cafeterias fertilizes the flowers instead ofgoing into the garbage.* Due to pressure
