The current issueStem Cell Nutrition: A New Paradigm in Health and Wellness
by Jeannette McLaughlin

While debate over embryonic stem cell research continues, scientists have made astounding discoveries about adult stem cells. Found in an organism after birth, primarily in the bone marrow, adult stem cells are the body’s master cells. Stem cells released by the bone marrow are responsible for the constant renewal of red blood cells and lymphocytes (immune cells). The body produces millions of stem cells every day; however, due to factors such as daily exposure to environmental toxins, physical and mental stress, poor diet, as well as the aging process, the number and quality of circulating stem cells gradually decrease.

The Health Benefits of Gelatin
by Sandra Brandt

Gelatin production could be called a form of recycling. Gelatin is a mixture of amino acids extracted from animal collagen, which comes from “waste” products of animal farming, including bones, ligaments, cartilage, connective tissues, skins, and hides, by a process known as hydrolysis. This process enables the extraction of a dry substance from the collagen; the tasteless, odourless, light coloured powder that is called gelatin.

Prenatal Origins of Physical and Mental Health: What Our Babies Need for Optimal Development
by Myrna Martin

It has been nearly a century since pre and perinatal psychology were introduced by Otto Rank, a student and colleague of Sigmond Freud. His slim book, The Trauma of Birth, was a gift to his mentor and friend in 1924. This birthday surprise detailed how Rank thought that difficulty during birth could affect the psyche of the person being born in such a way that it would affect them the rest of their lives. While first warmly received by Freud, it was rejected and the relationship between teacher and student was forever affected. Since then, this pattern of considering that babies have experiences that have lifelong implications has taken similar course in the world. A small cohort of practitioners took on the belief that yes, these early experiences do influence behaviour for a lifetime while the medical, scientific, and popular communities ignored, disengaged, or even repudiated this idea.

The Power of We the Consumers
by Catherine Milos

Hopeless, overwhelmed, part of a minority. You have probably felt like this at one point or another when looking for anything from holistic services to organic food and clothes. It can be difficult to make choices that are healthy, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. It can feel like we are getting nowhere when political agendas shift away from our health and environment and stores offer few or expensive options.

OM: The Great Mantra for All Spiritual Seekers
by Dr. S. R. Harit

The Science of Aum (Om)

It is our common observation that whenever we look at AUM, feelings of devotion and respect are experienced in our mind. Aum is respected by spiritual aspirants all over the world. A few decades back, Aum was encircled by mystical notions and myths. In the twentieth century, due to scientific research, its universal and secular nature as well as the therapeutic significance was revealed. Aum is undoubtedly a part and parcel of Indian culture. Practically in almost all languages Aum is drawn as a sacred symbol. There is also an identical type of word in other cultures, i.e. Shalom (Hebrew), Salaam (Arabic), Amen (Christian), and Amin (Islam).

by Melva Armstrong

It is almost one year since I arrived at the new acreage near Kamsack, which means I’ve now been blessed to experience all four seasons in this lovely part of the province. The aspects of nature that stand out the most are the incredible sunsets and the skies. Many of them are truly breathtaking and magnificent, and all are unique and different. With the glorious view stretching across the horizon, each day they light up my life and bring joy to my heart.
