Cugetare a filozofului chinez Chang Ying Yue:
Cel care, toata ziua
E activ ca o albina,
E puternic ca un taur,
Munceste precum un cal,
Si care seara se-ntoarce rupt de oboseala precum un caine,
Ar trebui sa consulte un veterinar,
Caci este foarte probabil sa fie un bou.

"Dumnezeu a facut sa creasca o planta pentru fiecare boala - cu exceptia prostiei", spune un proverb german si, daca ne uitam la avantul pe care l-au luat in ultima vreme homeopatia, medicina naturista, medicina alternativa in general, vechiul proverb devine din ce in ce mai de actualitate.
In S.U.A. anilor '90, circa o treime dintre pacientii cu program de asigurare medicala (health care) dezertasera, optand definitiv pentru metodele de tratament alternative. Principalul motiv invocat de ei a fost ca metodele alternative sunt mult mai putin agresive, pe de o parte si ca procesul vindecarii nu se margineste la repararea corpului fizic, ci se extinde si asupra starii psihice a bolnavului.
Astrologia cuprinde, la randul ei, date cunoscute din vechime, cu privire la alimente, plante, minerale benefice nativilor nascuti sub vibratiile specifice ale unei planete. Cunoscandu-le mai bine, ne vom putea convinge singuri de efectele acestora.
Insusi Hipocrate, parintele medicinii, afirma in scrierile sale: "Nunquam bonus medicus nisi astrologus" - nu poti fi un medic bun fara a fi astrolog.

Si eu am primi-t-o tot pe mail:
Romania, a doua zi dupa ce Gigi Becali a castigat alegerile
Noul sef al CNA-ului, Dan Diaconescu, da sanctiuni severe pentru
posturile TV care nu au respectat dispozitia de a difuza minimum patru ore pe zi
cu noul presedinte. Se anunta guvernul.
Mirel Radoi si Nicolae Dica vor fi ziua antrenori la Steaua si seara
prim-ministri cu schimbul, Catalin Zmarandescu - ministrul apararii
personale, Mihai Stoica - ministru al justitiei aplicate pe loc,
Adi de la Vilcea - ministrul culturii. Restul membrilor guvernului sint alesi
dintre nepotii presedintelui, dupa o sesiune extraordinara de baba-oarba.
Noua moneda nationala este oaia grea.
Gigi Becali anunta ca va face programul de guvernare tinind cont de
ultimele carti silabisite, care l-au marcat profund. In fiscalitate, se
va reveni la sistemul din "Punguta cu doi bani", iar in zootehnie fiecare
capra va fi obligata sa aiba trei iezi.
Cei care refuza sa intre in Partidul "Generatia de la 9" vor fi
convinsi cu metoda "Zdreanta, iti pun ochii pe faianta!".
Se reiau negocierile pentru intrarea Romaniei in Europa. Presedintele
propune vinzarea catre UE a unui teren de 238.000 kilometri patrati
din zona Pipera, cuprins intre Dunare si Prut, cu comision. Refuzat fiind,
promite un sac de bani cui ii va incurca pe bulgari.
