THE WELL-BEING FAIR WAS A SUCCESS!

EDWARD HARRIS AT LARGE!
THE WELL-BEING FAIR WAS A SUCCESS!
St. Lucians are definitely fighting back and seem to be determined to take their health and well- being seriously. This was evident from the hundreds of patrons who converged on the Cultural Centre on Sunday, 14th September, 2008 to attend the Well-Being Fair that was hosted by the Great Physician International in collaboration with the Natural Health Clinic.
The Rastafarian community led the way in showing that eating healthy foods and adopting a healthy lifestyle were of vital importance to the well being of humans. The steady line towards the food booths continued until the conclusion of the event. This augurs well for the future when an Ital Restaurant could be established. I am hoping that the group will take the opportunity to secure a Castries location at the earliest. I am reminded of an earlier article I wrote suggesting that if we are serious about eating healthy foods in an attempt to deal with diabetes and hypertension, there is need for the establishment of Salad Bars and Restaurants that target persons seeking to develop healthy eating habit. Dr. Almus Mc Dowall has always spoken out against the use of Aluminium Pots and Pans in the kitchen and the adverse effects on our health. There is a lot to be learnt about what we do about staying healthy.
Feature addresses were delivered by experienced doctors of Natural Medicines, including Dr. Gilbertha St. Rose, Dr. Almus Mc Dowall, and Priest, Dr. Kalash Leonce, a young St. Lucian who studied in Cuba and Manchester, England.
The various health issues affecting humans were highlighted and the large gathering, telling from their enthusiasm, were very appreciative of the information shared. They sampled and purchased many of the health foods, natural medicines and herbs that were on sale. The Rastafarians wanted to make a statement on health and well-being and the event provided an excellent opportunity to do that. They succeeded in getting their message across. People were amazed at the information provided at the seminar. They had their appetites filled not only with the appetising dishes but also the information as regards the dangers that Styrofoam based products/utensils pose to human health.
Feedbacks coming from the audience indicated that more well-being fairs should be held around the island with the aim of encouraging health lifestyles. This should be done by all other industries. Industry Fairs should be the thrust for generating consumer awareness in 2009.
It was a day well spent, a day filled with knowledge and information on how we can prevent and possibly rid our society of the many diseases that are cause for concern.
DON’T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DEPEND ON THEM
——————————————————————————–
You don’t need an explanation for everything.
Recognize that there are such things as miracles,
events for which there are no explanations.
Later, knowledge may explain those events.
The fact that you plant a seed and it becomes a flower,
share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s,
Smile at someone and receive a smile in return
are common miracles.
Your duty to yourself is to believe that for which you
have sufficient evidence, and to suspend your judgement
when you have not.
Any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic.
Some things have to be believed to be seen.
Vision is the art of seeing invisible things.

I am seeing Miracles everyday in the Obama Campaign. He is ahead again and is very likely to stay there as the economy of the USA continues to decline. If the USA is an example as to how political campaigns should be conducted, the US politicians need to take several pages out of our Caribbean political guide book. When God anoints someone for a job, there is no earthly human being who will be able to change that.
It is time for some serious debates on the USA Elections and the implications for Caribbean relationship with the next President. When we attempt to discuss the issues, we will find that Obama is not only good for America, he is good for the Caribbean and the rest of the world. What an opportunity? The possibilities are awesome! However, only time will tell.
Have a great weekend.
Keep the Faith, God is in Charge, Dream Big and Expect Miracles Everyday!!!
