We hope this manual will assist first aider’s to provide first aid efficiently and effectively.
Whilst this online manual is a valuable resource, we encourage every person to attend an accredited first aid course at the earliest convenience.

Qi Qong
[1/25/09] As we enter this new Year of the Tiger, give your immunity system a boost with the help of Grand Master Hong Liu at his free Winter Immunity Humanitarian Event Jan. 9 sponsored by the Natural Healing Research Foundation.
“We will be employing natural healing techniques that can effectively improve the human body’s immunity function, which is especially important nowadays with the H1N1 virus, and also we’re in the midst of the flu season,” explains Liu through a Chinese-English speaking translator. “In a nutshell, this workshop is for anybody who has either a compromised or weakened immunity that is prone to catching colds, the flu, or for people with respiratory ailments such as asthma or sinus problems.
“All the anti-inflammatory or antiviral and antibacterial medications and vaccines have a very good purpose. However, if we can naturally improve or strengthen one’s immunity, then this person will not catch a flu as easily and then it will be better for oneself as well as for society.”
Liu, who received his formal medical training as a doctor from the Shanghai Military College and specializes in the treatment of cancer, immigrated to the United States in 1990. His resume lists him as a distinguished professor of Qi Gong at the Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica and at Samra University in Los Angeles.
He also serves as an adjunct professor with the University of Hawaii, and resides in both Los Angeles, where he has a healing center in Arcadia, and in Honolulu where he has a home in Windward Oahu.
His Web site (www.qimaster.com) includes pictures of some of his many celebrity clients, including Elton John, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, Cameron Diaz, Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, Goldie Hawn and Courtney Love.
According to Liu, the I Ching is one of the most fundamental tools of Chinese culture and philosophies. It’s often used as an oracle to do divination and predictions.
“Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, feng shui, Chinese astrology, it’s all derived from the I Ching,” he explains. “It’s the origin of all this knowledge and wisdom, as well as all the theories from the five-element theory to yin and yang balance.
s resourceful, important and widely available as the I Ching is, Liu says very few people read it or even understand it. Having studied qi gong for more than
30 years, Liu, 64, says the key difference between a grand master and master is that he or she has to be well -versed and understand all seven areas of qi gong - martial arts, self-healing, longevity, intelligence, helping others to emit external energy, spirituality and discovering extraordinary human powers. You also have to know Chinese herbs, acupuncture, moxibustion, the I Ching and Chinese astronomy.

a scientist converts
He opened the session by improvising on hymns at the piano and concluded it by accompanying a singalong on the guitar. In between, he delivered a compelling account of his unlikely conversion from atheism to evangelical Christianity.
The lanky, amiable personality wasn't a traveling revivalist but one of the world's leading biologists.
Francis S. Collins led the international Human Genome Project that mapped the 3.1 billion chemical base pairs in humanity's DNA. He now directs the U.S. government program on applying that information to medical treatments.
He has also emerged as an advocate for faith and its compatibility with science.

Six Super Foods
[8/10/06] Foods for long life.
[9/7/05] Two years ago British scientists proposed the "Polypill," a cocktail of six known drugs that, they claimed, would slash the risk of heart attack and stroke by 80 percent if taken daily.
Now meet the "Polymeal," six foods that, eaten regularly, could cut heart disease risk by 76 percent—without drugs. Dutch scientists proposed the diet in fun to show that healthy nutrition can protect your heart as well as drugs can. But they designed the meal by studying scads of research, so it really could add years to your life.

Dogs: Wolf, Myth, Hero, Friend
[8/9/06] Today, dogs enhance the lives of millions in countless ways, but they are also some of humans' oldest friends. Ancient clues like cave paintings and burials reveal that dogs and people have lived together for thousands of years. But why have humans formed such close relationships with dogs, and not cows or chickens? This site examines the facts on dogs and explores what makes the human/dog relationship so unique.

Bio-Mat
The Richway Bio-Mat is a device claimed to have the capability of improving your health.
It's a mat that you can place on your bed or floor and you lie down on it. Supposedly it emits far (or long) infrared rays that enter your body. The rays are supposed to raise your body temperature "inducing an artificial 'fever'. As it works to combat the fever, your body's immunce system is strengthened. Combined with the elimination of toxins and waste produced by the intense sweating, your overall health and resistance to disease is increased."
In addition it emits negative ions. "When the amount of Negative Ions in the blood increases, the function of the cell is activated. Thus increasing nutrient absorption, waste elimination, metabolism and cell function.) The reverse holds true if there is a lack of negative Ions, and too many positive Ions within a cell. Thus, absorption of nutrition and elimination of waste material cannot be done effectively. As a result diseases happens.
I tried it for about 45 minutes and it seemed pretty comfortable as the the mat felt warm after a while. I was looking for two effects. To see if it halted my tinnitus (ringing in the ear) and improve my nasal congestion. The tinnitus did subside and the nasal congestion seemed to slightly improve after a while. Of course, this could have been just coincidence as both conditions occasionally do improve on their own. Then again, maybe it wasn't.
I'm looking for this product on one of those quack reports.
