Scientists may have discovered the reason behind the rise in allergies. One in 100 children is now allergic to nuts and peanuts have become the most common cause of fatal allergic reactions to food. Scientists suggest that the cause of this phenomenon ay be the nut oils used in eczema creams for babies. Researchers at St Marys Hospital in London conducted a one year study of 14,000 children and parents. Nine out of ten children who developed a nut allergy had previously suffered from eczema, suggesting that the treatment creams used may have sensitised their immune systems. In eczema the skin barrier breaks down and there is an
abundance of immune cells in the skin that could be exposed to
substances that cause allergies.

(SUPPORT of OLD AGE PENSIONERS) SOAP is an organisation run by a group of Bulawayo citizens who endeavour to care for the needs of white Old Age Pensioners who are struggling to live on their tiny incomes. With all good faith these old people have paid their pension contributions faithfully each month for their entire lives, only to find these pensions totally worthless in the new millennium. One couple in North End live on a Municipal income of $300 (Zimbabwe dollars !) a month........!! SOAP distributes 19 food parcels each month to folk around Bulawayo and the Bulawayo public has been tremendous with their fantastic donations. Blankets were donated in winter by one of our wonderful anonymous benefactors and if the old folk have a problem with funds we will assist them in this way too. We have a few dollars in the coffers but need a few more if this scheme is to continue. Find out more about SOAP by e mailing Pat at "thedonz@mweb.co.zw" or Mags at "magskriel@mac.com" or phone Lynne on 230070.

STRESS and tension? Back, neck, muscular pains, headaches, nervous stomaches, etc., etc…………….?!!!!!! The therapies I offer can help, even if you do not believe in them. All the therapies are gentle and relaxing, non invasive and are performed through clothing. BOWEN therapy consists of gentle movements, over specific key points, which release blocked energy, allowing maximum healing to take place. Bowen therapy is characterized by 2 min pauses between movements, giving the body time to respond. REIKI is a very subtle, but powerful form of natural healing.
