Panes, M.D. and Jane Heimlich (Natural Remedies for everyday ailments and minor injuries) Homeopathy is a science that operates systematically seeking to cure in accordance with natural laws of healing, and uses medicines made from natural substances - animal, vegetable and mineral. The body is always striving to keep itself healthy, or in balance. When the body is threatened by harmful external forces, its defense mechanism produces symptoms which have a purpose: Pain is a warning that something is wrong. Fever inactivates many viruses that attack the body. Mucous is produced in the respiratory tract to surround and carry off irritating material. A cough expels the mucous that would otherwise hinder breathing. The allopathic doctor studies these symptoms, provides a diagnosis, and prescribes the established treatment. The homeopath secs the disease process as a dynamic condition, the body telling its story. The homeopath's aim is to strengthen the body so that it can resist the external force. Jeremy P.

The Battle of the Badges was based on participation in a 10-week Weight Watchers At Work Program that combined group support and lifestyle lifestyle education in weekly meetings at each services' headquarters. Weight Watchers contributed the program fee to the designated charity and the police officers and members collected pledges tied to the amount of weight each lost. Because each service service had a different number of participants, participants, the winning team was declared based on the highest average weight loss. Individual winners were also acknowledged acknowledged for their efforts as top "losers" from each team. The competition competition was a healthy excuse for inter- service hi-jinks such as having pizzas and unmarked boxes of doughnuts delivered delivered to the competing services. Brunet, speaking on behalf of Weight Watchers, applauded the dedication dedication and efforts of teams from all three services. "It is remarkable that thé men and women of the police services, who helps us in so many ways each and every day, have also the will to go the extra mile mid support such worthy organizations as The Sunshine Foundation," Foundation," he said "I'm pleased that, through our At Work Program, Weight Watchers was able to help the police help themselves to a healthier lifestyle while helping raise funds for The Sunshine Foundation and its work.
