Thuja "Gift To Homeopathy"


The Native Americans first used this remedy to treat malaria, coughs, gout and rheumatism. Thuja is a deep acting remedy often used as a specific remedy for warts. Thuja patients tend to have greasy skin with offensive smelling perspiration. Thuja types have a marked lack of self-esteem and spend a lot of time on presenting a pleasing outward image to the world, whilst hiding their true feelings.

Walt Disney"s "Disney Land"


One day Walt Disney had a vision. It was a vision of a place where children and parents could have fun together. The more Walt dreamed of a "magical park," the more imaginative and elaborate it became.

The original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and families could go to relax. Although, World War II put those plans on hold. During the war, Walt had time to come up with new ideas, and creations for his magical park. It was soon clear that 8 acres wouldn't be enough.

Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a survey for a 100-acre site, outside of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying elephants and giant teacups;a fairy-tale ca
stle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a magic kingdom he called "Disneyland."

Uses of Garlic


Garlic does indeed have scientifically-proven medicinal properties. It contains a substance called Allicin, which has anti-bacterial properties that are equivalent to a weak penicillin. It appears that cooked garlic weakens the anti-bacterial effects considerably, however, so don't count on cooked garlic with meals for much in the way of a curative.Its USES are as follows:

1.Garlic has many healing attributes in its favor. It is antifungal, antibacterial which means it will help to heal athletes foot, jock itch and ringworm by taking it internally and externally It can also assist with the healing of a yeast infection. Warm garlic oil helps to heal an earache caused by bacteria.

2.It promotes heart and cardiovascular health and anti clotting activity. It can also help in the prevention of colds and the flu due to its antibiotic properties.

3.Taking garlic on a regular basis can also help protect us from various forms of cancer.

4.Garlic is the best agent of Digestion.

5.Hypertension: Another heart benefit of garlic is its ability to help control our blood pressure by thinning our blood. Once again the chemical found in garlic, called ajoene, thins the blood and keeps clots from forming. Studies done with general populations have shown that where there is more garlic consumed in a population, there is also a reduced incidence of hypertension and heart disease. Although garlic's heart healthy benefits may be new to some, for centuries Chinese herbalists have been using garlic to treat people with angina attacks and circulatory disorders.
