Vibrations and healing
By Bernhild Whitworth - Jan 15, 2010
This article is a brief survey into the realm of vibration and its effects on animate and inanimate matter. A comparison between ancient knowledge and discoveries in modern physics shows that the gap between spirituality and science finally turns out to be a bridge between two opposites.

The evolutionary transformation of the body
By Unknown Author - Jan 15, 2010
A passive adaptation is the equilibrium that Nature creates between the organism and the world around it, on a horizontal level. This has stability but no evolution. Evolution comes from a sort of temporary dissolution of this equilibrium. So an active adaptation would necessitate the ability of the body to not only survive but also to evolve in collaboration with Nature.
Systems and beyond systems
By Alok Pandey - Jan 15, 2010
The recent controversy over some unlabelled ingredients from a traditional medicine source has stirred up an old controversy — the validity of ancient healing systems vis-à-vis the modern medical establishment. The advocates of the first believe that allopathy, the child of modern science, is risky and dangerous, that it merely suppresses symptoms rather than cures the illness and that its side-effects are excessive and can even be life-threatening. Those who side with the latter believe that all other systems of healing other than allopathy are unscientific and unproven, that they do not have any effect or perhaps only a minimal one, that it is dangerous to use them for serious illnesses since their non-effectiveness simply leads to a natural worsening, and that whatever cures are claimed are simply the result of natural resolution of the illness rather than an effect of the medicine. Since both sides cling to their beliefs, people are left to decide for themselves and choose whatever system they prefer.
