Cold Therapy

Learn how to tap into the power of the “cold” to burn fat, boost your
immune system, improve sleep quality, increase hormone levels, reduce
inflammation and increase the “feel good” chemicals in the brain called
endorphins (natures own mood boosters).

Breathing

The majority of us breathe shallow throughout the day resulting in ill
health and low energy levels. The scientific breathing techniques you will
learn in this course will significantly improve your energy levels, detox
the body and release toxins, relieve stress and tension, and strengthen
your immune system.

Commitment

The techniques within the cold and breathing effectively need commitment.
With this you can go into any depth of your physiology. It is your choice
now.

OT - something for the pc ethics clergy to chew on - pretty important to a
lot of people especially as the Supreme Court will soon be taking
up a landmark case that, if it goes the wrong way, could result in the
closing of most family planning clinics in the US which during this period
of growing poverty could result in difficult times for many low income
women. Supporting Planned Parenthood is a great way to help the cause.

Who is most responsible for high abortion rates? The religious right.

By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 13th January 2016

Here is the fact that everyone debating abortion should know. There is no
association between its legality and its incidence. In other words, banning
abortion does not stop the practice; it merely makes it more dangerous.

The abortion debate is presented as a conflict between the rights of
embryos and the rights of women. Enhance one, both sides sometimes appear
to agree, and you suppress the other. But once you grasp the fact that
legalising women’s reproductive rights does not raise the incidence of
induced abortions, only one issue remains to be debated. Should they be
legal and safe or illegal and dangerous? Hmmm, tough question.

There might be no causal relationship between reproductive choice and the
incidence of abortion, but there is a strong correlation: an inverse one.
As the Lancet’s most recent survey of global rates and trends
<http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2811%2961786-8/fulltext>notes,
“The abortion rate was lower … where more women live under liberal abortion
laws.”

Why? Because laws restricting abortion tend to be most prevalent in places
where contraception and comprehensive sex education are hard to obtain, and
in which sex and childbirth outside marriage are anathematised. Young
people have sex, whatever their elders say; they always have and always
will. Those with the least information and the least access to birth control
<http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/2900603.html> are the most likely
to suffer unintended pregnancies. And what greater incentive could there be
for terminating a pregnancy than a culture in which reproduction out of
wedlock is a mortal sin?

How many more centuries of misery, mutilation and mortality are required
before we understand that women – young or middle aged, within marriage or
without – who do not want a child may go to almost any lengths to terminate
an unwanted pregnancy? How much more evidence do we need that, in the
absence of legal, safe procedures, such sophisticated surgical instruments
as wire coathangers, knitting needles, bleach and turpentine will be
deployed instead? How many more poisonings, punctured guts and burst wombs
<http://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/publications/unsafe_abortion/9789241501118/en/>
are required before we recognise that prohibition and moral suasion will
not trounce women’s need to own their lives?

The most recent meta-analysis of global trends, published in 2012,
discovered that the abortion rate, after a sharp decline between 1995 and
2003, scarcely changed over the following five years
<http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2811%2961786-8/fulltext>.
But the proportion that were unsafe (which, broadly speaking, means
illegal), rose from 44% to 49%.

Most of this change was due to a sharp rise in unsafe abortions in West
Asia (which includes the Middle East), where Islamic conservatism is
resurgent. In the regions in which Christian doctrine exerts the strongest
influence over legislation – west and middle Africa and central and south
America – there was no rise. But that’s only because the proportion of
abortions that were illegal and unsafe already stood at 100%.

As for the overall induced abortion rate, the figures tell an interesting
story. Western Europe has the world’s lowest termination rate: 12 per year
for every 1000 women of reproductive age. The more godly North America
aborts 19 embryos for every 1000 women. In South America, where (when the
figures were collected) the practice was banned everywhere, the rate was
32. In eastern Africa, where ferocious laws and powerful religious
injunctions should – according to conservative theory – have stamped out
the practice long ago, it was 38.

The weird outlier is eastern Europe, which has the world’s highest abortion
rate: 43 per 1000. Under communism, abortion was the only available form of
medical birth control
<http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/gpr/15/4/gpr150402.html>. The rate has
fallen from 90 since 1995, as contraception has become easier to obtain,
but there’s still a long way to go.

Facts, who needs ‘em? Across the red states of the US, legislators have
been merrily passing laws
<http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/29/abortion-laws-2015-reproductive-rights-arkansas>that
make abortion clinics impossible to run, while denying children effective
sex education. In Texas, thanks to restrictive new statutes, over half the
clinics have closed since 2013
<http://www.theguardian.com/law/2015/nov/13/us-supreme-court-challenge-texas-hb2-abortion-rights>.
But women are still obliged to visit three times before receiving
treatment: in some cases this means travelling 1000 miles or more.
Unsurprisingly, 7% of those seeking medical help have already attempted
their own solutions
<http://www.utexas.edu/cola/txpep/_files/pdf/Grossman,White,Hopkins,Potter-PublicHealthThreatofAnti-abortionLegislation-Contraception-2014.pdf>
.

The only reason why this has not caused an epidemic of abdominal trauma is
the widespread availability, through unlicensed sales, of abortion drugs
such as misoprostol and mifepristone. They’re unsafe when used without
professional advice, but not as unsafe as coathangers and household
chemicals.

In June, the US Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of the
latest Texan assault on legal terminations, the statute known as HB2. If
the state of Texas wins, this means, in effect, the end of Roe v Wad
<http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/16/us-supreme-court-make-abortion-deciding-factor-2016-presidential-election>e,
the decision that deemed abortion a fundamental right in the United States.

In Northern Ireland the new first minister, Arlene Foster, who took office
on Monday, has vowed to ensure that the 1967 abortion act, which covers the
rest of the United Kingdom, will not apply to her country
<http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/06/no-extending-abortion-act-to-northern-ireland-first-female-premier-arlene-foster-court-ruling-rape>.
Women there will continue to buy pills (and run the risk of confiscation as
the police rifle their post) or travel to England, at some expense and
trauma
<http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/31/abortion-ireland-northern-ireland-women-travel-england-amelia-gentleman>.
Never mind the finding of a High Court judge
<http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/01/belfast-ruling-women-britain-abortions>:
“there is no evidence before this court that the law in Northern Ireland
has resulted in any reduction in the number of abortions”. It just warms
the heart to see Protestant and Catholic fundamentalists setting aside
their differences to ensure that women’s bodies remain the property of the
state.

Like them, I see human life as precious. Like them, I want to see a
reduction in abortions. So I urge states to do the opposite of what they
prescribe. If you want fewer induced abortions, you should support
education that encourages children to talk about sex without embarrassment
or secrecy; contraception that’s freely available to everyone; an end to
the stigma surrounding sex and birth before marriage.

The religious conservatives who oppose these measures have blood on their
hands. They are responsible for high abortion rates; they are responsible
for the injury and death of women. And they have the flaming cheek to talk
about the sanctity of life.
