I've never been a big fan of TV and when given a choice won't have one in the house. I have never liked them on in the mornings and can't understand how people have more than one or one that is bigger than 14". However I am also one of those classic 'tv vegetables' if I'm in the mood and with the world cup looming himself is determined to get one up and running.
Currently (until rugby starts) we don't have a TV which is great and fits in nicely with the schooling we have chosen for the children. Not having a TV for so long the kids are great at entertaining themselves with stories, playing together, singing and generally being kids. Making a conscience decision not to let our kids watch TV or DVD's I'm really noticing how much TV bombards me when it is around and how much the kids are 'sucked in and zommified' when we do encounter it. I was horrified (maybe a bit over the top but my initial reaction never the less) to find a TV in the play area in the bank and even more shocked today when I was 'attacked' with Bob the builder in the family toilets!! Really does anybody need TV in the toilet???!!! It took me several minutes to unlatch my youngest from a chair to actually get him into the cubicle as he cried out for Bob.
A recent study showed that New Zealander's are volunteering less and watching TV more. We are currently spending 2 hours and 8 minutes a day in front of the box which is only 14 minutes less than we spend on housework each day. I hate to think what implications this has for our culture as a whole when other studies have shown links between TV watching and behavioural problems such as ADHD. There are certainly some great programmes on for adults that help broaden the mind however when it means that we only spend 1 hour of our day actually talking to people and 30 minutes looking after the kids it really makes you wonder if there are better ways of being informed and learning about the world.

Cinnamon and Honey
www.becominghealthy.co.nz
Some great tips for Health with a few simple ingredients from the cupboard;
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. What it will do is what some call 'turning to sugar'. In reality, honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will "crystallize". When this happens loosen the lid, boil some water and sit the honey container in the hot water, but turn off the heat and let it liquefy naturally. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. This will kill the enzymes in the honey.
It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon, as researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply it on bread instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, when they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily (morning and night) one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder..
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses.

Benefits of Bach Flower Remedies
While Bach Flower Remedies are able to work will all other treatments, supporting them where necessary, there are many advantages to using Bach Flower Remedies over other types of treatments. They are a safe positive method of bring balance back into the body without any concerns of overdose or side effects that can be used by everyone. With diagnosis made by emotions and negative soul qualities Bach Flower Remedies work directly with the body’s energy system often times avoiding unnecessary physical illness.
Bach Flower Remedies are able to be used by trained practitioners and lay people alike which means that their benefits are not exclusively limited to those that can afford to see a ‘specialist’ in Flower Remedies. Diagnosis is made with reference to negative soul states observable in moods, personality and emotions rather than physical symptoms, which are usually the last warning signal that something needs to change in our lives. The advantage of this being that Bach Flower Remedies are able to aid in healing before physical illness occurs and things spiral out of control which may lead to a longer and more painful recovery. It is possible to use our life experience, common sense and intuition to recognise many of the emotional states present in those seeking help and which remedy is needed. Body language, mannerisms and intonation can all indicate which remedies maybe helpful, even the atmosphere that pervades can be used towards diagnosis. This is a great benefit as it means that diagnosis is not solely reliant on the person having to explain how they are feeling ensuring that selecting the correct remedy is achievable even on those with or without speech i.e. babies, animals, those uncomfortable disclosing information and the incapacitated.
The remedies work in a positive way, flooding the body with the energy required to re-establish balance within the person, unlike homeopathic remedies which aim to cancel negative patterns by giving like for like. They replace those faults which are causing problems and bring a sense of calm and relief often long since missing. Working in this way the remedies have the advantage of only providing good. The Flower Remedies act directly on the person’s energy system in a constructive way rather than through the physical body, as many other traditional and subtle methods of healing do. This direct approach to healing ensures that positive changes in thought patterns, attitudes to life and general outlook to life all help to improve the person’s health and well being mentally, spiritually and physically.
Treatment of the Flower Remedies is easy as once a diagnosis is made the remedy may be taken in more than one way. The usual method of taking remedies is orally, either with a drink or from the stock bottle however it is possible to also have the remedies in a bath, make them into a compress or in the case of Rescue Remedy in the form of a cream. This versatility of administration is particularly advantageous as it means that the Remedies are able to be used in all situations and by everyone regardless of their age or capability i.e. when dealing with babies, those who are temporarily unable to take treatments orally and those that are in the care of others.
One of the greatest advantages to Bach Flower Remedies over other types of treatments however is the fact that there are no known side effects or negative reactions and as such Flower Remedies can be used by everyone safely. At worst the symptoms experienced may, at the commencement of treatment, initially become intensified briefly in a clearing process before they lessen. Babies, children, animals, plants and adults including pregnant women have the advantage of knowing that they are able to find relief without the worry of what may occur if too much is taken or the treatment is not correct for them. Being completely harmless, where a remedy is not suited the body simply absorbs it with no effect as only those remedies with the soul potentials needed are effective. This enables the Flower Remedies to be used successfully in combination with other forms of treatment, weather it is complementary practices, talking therapies, physical work or prescribed medications, without any concern of interference. In many cases Bach Flower Remedies have be known to support other treatments on the road to recovery.
The advantages of Bach Flower Remedies are numerous and the fact that they are a positive, harmless aid to healing and self healing ensures that they are accessible to a wider range of people than other alternative healing methods. As a truly safe form of treatment for all Flower Remedies help to restore balance in our lives and with our higher self guaranteeing that we are happier and healthier.
