World Environment Day [WED] was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment, resulting from discussions on the integration of human interactions and the environment. Two years later, in 1974 the first WED was held with the theme “Only One Earth”. Even though WED celebration have been held annually since 1974, in 1987 the idea for rotating the center of these activities through selecting different host countries began.

For almost five decades, World Environment Day has been raising awareness, supporting action, and driving change. Here is a timeline of key accomplishments in WEDs’ history:

The theme for 2018 is “Beat Plastic Pollution”. The host nation is India. The theme for the World Environment Day 2018, “Beat Plastic Pollution”. By choosing this Theme, it is aimed that people may strive to changes in their everyday lives to reduce the heavy burden of plastic pollution. People should be free from the over-reliace on single-use or disposables, as they have severe environmental consequences. We should liberate our natural places, our wildlife – and our own health from plastics.

I have just finished a book, titled, GOOD NEWS: WORLD PEACE.  I thought I would share a chapter with you  in  hopes that you see the value in it and be interested in reading more, especially when it comes out.  Please share any comments with me, as I would truly appreciate it.

HEARTS BEAT TOGETHER

Our hearts beat together, what a phenomenon, what a blessing, what a joy.  By the way they are all the same color; amazing, but true, just like the blood and the insides of our bodies is the same color, amazing but true.   We are all together on starship planet earth flying around in the solar system, one beat, one movement at a time, we are on the same trip, spinning, breathing, heart beating, blood flowing and hopefully laughing…  Man’s and Woman’s best medicine.

Dr. Bernie Siegel’s prescription pad says LOVE, Leo Buscaglia  and Amma’s mantra is a good hug, Rudolf Valentino and Clark Gable a Great Kiss!  LOVE is the strongest gravity on the planet and the SOLUTION TO PEACE, maybe the only and best one to World Peace.  With unconditional love we are at Peace at our core, at our heart, at our breadth.  The Good News is no matter what continent, in or out of the sea LOVE conquers all.  When not in LOVE with your own self or with others, PEACE probably will fail.  So, Reach out and Touch Somebody’s Hand and Make this a Better Place if you can.  THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU KNOW YOU CAN

How do we do it, how do we reach out and not get our hand slapped or worse?  Ask Permission? Ask a friend of the person, pray…reality is that we must go back to the NOW or WON which is NOW spelled backwards.  To win we need to change where there is no PEACE and we don’t have time…because unfortunately some little boy or girl soldier won’t be here anymore, some innocent baby civilian won’t ever get to grow up, unfortunately, this is SERIOUS, but solvable.  The sooner the better, AMEN AND AWOMAN.  As scary as it might be, reach out nonviolently, it has worked in the past says Gandhi, it can work again, when the whole world says together NO MORE and realizes that the loss of life anywhere is the loss of life everywhere it will be easier to realize that we are all ONE… OMMMM.  EACH OF US IS A PROTECTOR OF THE OTHER, Hallelujah.

Each of us has the capability not to show up for a WAR, or not to fight in the back of a school or streets, to respect an ARMLESS, NUCLEARLESS, Society of Mutual Respect and Trust.  The Good News is that there are billions on this PEACE TRAIN, MERCY, MERCY ME.

To reiterate most of the world lives and acts in Peace and are here for each other or they just don’t bother anyone, thank GOD or whatever or whoever you believe in.  PEACE doesn’t have to be imagined, it is real.  The few that aren’t living peacefully on our planet, in essence are confused on how to handle differences, and WILL SOON ONE DAY accept that we, the PEACEFUL ones, don’t what their approach to living on our mother earth.

If you were given a diagnosis of lung cancer and told you had six months to live – that’s pretty much a death sentence, right? Wrong! When Dr. Carl Helvie was given that very diagnosis 38 years ago he decided his last months would be without the debilitating effects of traditional medicine. Now, at age 80, he is not only free of chronic illnesses and prescribed medications but is the longest living lung cancer survivor! His new book, You Can Beat Lung Cancer: Using Alternative/Integrative Interventions (Ayni Books), is one of the most comprehensive books on alternative treatment for lung cancer available today.

We have been conditioned to believe that surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the only way to fight cancer but, according to Helvie, “this could not be more wrong!” Interestingly, a team of researchers in Washington state recently discovered by ‘accident’ that chemotherapy does not treat or cure cancer at all but rather fuels the growth of cancer cells, making it even more difficult to destroy the second time around.

Using holistic natural interventions of supplements, herbs, enzymes, diet, prayer, meditation, visualization and more, Dr. Helvie not only overcame his cancer but prevented a recurrence. So, considering only 11% of Americans over age 65 are free of chronic illnesses, and by age 75 the average is three chronic illnesses and five prescribed medications, following the steps outlined in his book is like being given back 20+ years of life!

Dr. Helvie’s book is based on his 60-year background in medicine and research, and input from some of the leading medical and health practitioners currently in the field today. By shedding light on the alternatives to traditional harsh treatments, he is arming us with the necessary information to make a rational decision should we ever be faced with this diagnosis.

Dr. Carl Helvie is a registered nurse with two masters and a doctorate in public health and wellness. He has 60 years experience as a nurse practitioner, educator, author and researcher and is the recipient of numerous awards and has listings in Who’s Who In American Nursing, Men of Achievement, American Men and Women of Science, just to name a few. He has eight published books, has contributed to others, and has published or presented internationally over 100 papers and articles. He developed and published a nursing theory that is used worldwide and has established a nursing center that provides primary care for homeless and low-income individuals and families.

Dr. Helvie currently writes for a magazine and is the host of a radio show on natural holistic health. For more information, please visit: www.BeatLungCancer.net.

G. Edward Griffin, Author of World Without Cancer, The Politics of Cancer Therapy, President of American Media: “… one of the most comprehensive books available on alternative treatments for lung cancer…explains the treatments used successfully by [this] cancer survivor /health professional and some of the leading medical and health practitioners in the field.”

Julian Kenyon, MD, Medical Director, The Dove Clinic for Integrated Medicine: “Helvie’s case is remarkable…a man of great courage, who has followed a natural approach to his life-threatening illness and this has resulted in a cure…”

Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS; Author of Beating Cancer with Nutrition and Adjuvant Nutrition in Cancer Treatment: “Lung cancer is both common and lethal…Helvie approaches subject as both health care professional and lung cancer survivor…invaluable advice for beating this disease that is often called “a death sentence” if diagnosed in later stages of the disease…not only offered his invaluable experiences as a cancer victor, but adds the wisdom of other world class experts on the subject of cancer treatment. If you or a loved one have lung cancer, then this book could become your ‘get out of jail free’ card toward recovery or at least a dramatic extension in quality and quantity of life.”

Frank Shallenberger, MD, HMD, ABAAM, Author, Medical Director, The Nevada Center of Alternative Medicine: “If you are ever diagnosed with advanced cancer, the odds are very good that your oncologist will tell you that unless you immediately consent to chemotherapy you are going to die. This is a lie! I know, I’ve been treating conventional chemotherapy failures for years. Other than for leukemia or lymphoma, conventional chemotherapy is almost always a death sentence. There are so many more effective ways to treat advanced cancer, and Dr. Carl Helvie’s [book] describes some of the most effective.”

Ayurveda is the science of life, a 5,000-year-old traditional holistic system of well-being from India. ‘ayur’ means ‘of life’ and Veda’ means ‘knowledge’. Ayurveda is the knowledge of longevity which offers healing, rejuvenation and self-realization through balanced food, herbs, yoga, massage, aroma, and meditation.

Ayurveda teaches us to pay attention to how and what we eat, and to take responsibility for our health.
Ayurveda is very clear when it comes to food. Sattvic (pure) food is needed to heal and maintain good health and must incorporate six tastes in every meal: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, astringent and pungent.

Modern medical science also recommends a vegetarian diet for good health and prevention of stress-related , health problems.
