     THERAPY BENEFITED HEART SURGERY, "The night before surgery, Sue Michaelsen came to my home.  What she did...relaxed me so thoroughly that...I slept deeply until the alarm went off. The anesthesiologist told me that people facing bypass surgery are almost always terrified, so they are invariably tense, tight and anxiety-ridden.   Not me!  I was completely relaxed and anxiety-free.  I sailed through quadruple cardiac bypass surgery with no trouble at all!  After my surgery, Sue gave me Jin Shin Do® that let me stop taking "heavy-duty" pain meds much sooner than normal.  What was this Jin Shin Do® that it could do this?  How could simple finger pressure on various parts of my body alleviate pain, relax my tensions and leave me feeling so great?  I was intrigued and wanted to learn more. 

     That is why, a few months later, I became a student in Sue's Jin Shin Do® Classes.  I enjoy learning with Sue and teaching Fundamentals of Self-Acupressure and I use it on myself almost every day.  It always amazes me how just holding a few points for a few minutes will let the pain go away.  I love how giving Jin Shin Do® Sessions is helping me assist family and friends.  JIN SHIN DO® WORKS!  Thank you, Iona, for devising this great program."

Stop global warming - Go veg - Global warming destroys wildlife habitats, floods coastal communities and promotes droughts and hurricanes. 
It is caused by emissions of "greenhouse gases" that trap the sun's heat.  Animal agriculture is a major source of these gases: carbon dioxide
from machinery operation, more harmful methane and nitrous oxide from animal feedlots and waste pits.  The solution is going veg.

* Going veg reduces personal annual greenhouse gas emissions by 1.5 tons.
* Going veg saves forests and wetlands from conversion to pasture and feed cropland.
* Going veg conserves water supplies, topsoil, fertilizer and fossil fuel.
* Going veg saves innocent, sentient animals from cruel abuse and deaths.
* Going veg reduces our risk of chronic ills that kill possibly billions of earth's people annually - 1.3 million Americans.
