The conventional wisdom is that female mammals, including humans, have only the limited supply of eggs they were born with…Chinese lab may be a key to debunking that long-held belief…”Forty years ago, we thought the only stem cells in adults were in blood,” he says. “Now we know about eye, brain and skin stem cells. Adult sperm have stem cells.”  Read the full article by Nancy J. Whitein The Toronto Star

So why not adult ovaries?

Why not all organs and systems?

Why not awakening these stem cells from within our body?

“Why not is a good question.”

An estimated 246 million people worldwide are affected by diabetes, According to The Canadian Diabetes Association. Between 5-10% have Type 1, a condition in which the body’s immune system attack pancreatic cells that produce insulin, the hormone that enables the body to use sugar for energy…read the full story from

Stem-cell transplants can free diabetics from insulin shots

Could our immune system, know something we don’t? Could Diabetes, be a natural response, a necessary response, a way in which our immune system is forced to attack – in order to protect our destructive “instant gratification” lifestyle?

Dave Arneson, who through the popular game he helped create, Dungeons & Dragons, spawned a new form of interpersonal entertainment that has captivated millions, died on Tuesday in St. Paul, Minn., where he lived. He was 61…The cause was cancer! BY SETH SCHIESEL, New York Times News Service

Dungeons & Dragons co-creators changed gaming, could we use their “new” style of cooperative game playing to help change our current economic downfall ?

Does collaboration require a common enemy?

Could we just think of a common vision of the future to inspire us for growth?

“Igniting The Third Factor”, by Peter Jencen is a new book about Performance Coaching

The “Third Factor”, originally identified and highlighted by Kazimierz Dabrowski, a distinguished psychiatrist who studied of numerous exceptional human beings…

“Individuals can make a conscious choice to change, and to achieve a higher level. The third factor is the role we as individuals play in our own growth.” exert from an interesting article written by Harvey Schachterin

Could your Vision of the Future be the necessary catalyst?

BBC News reports that around seven million people in the UK are suffering from an anxiety disorder, these are statistics according to the mental health foundation.

Is it the current economic situation that is making matters even worse, the report shows that around two out of three adults saying they fear for the future.

In the beginning of April 2009, we held a survey in ten Montessori schools (you can watch a 10 minute video from “Change begins from within”, April 4th event). We asked over five hundred children 5 years old and up, four questions, the first being how they see the world ten years from now…the children are also afraid of the future!

I will be presenting “inner energy secrets” at Total Health 2009 April 17, 18, 19, 2009 Metro Toronto Convention Centre. We can begin solving anxiety disorders by receiving a new perspective on the future! I am scheduled to be presenting Saturday, April 18th at 2:00 pm and Sunday, April 19th at 2:00 pm at one of the stages on the show floor. You will be able to find it under my name, Erik Valdman in the program.

I just had a conversation with a long time acquaintance who is working at an INDIGO (the largest bookstore chain in Canada) and according to him the tough economic situation has not heart the book business a bit, but quite the opposite. Actually he is working in the children books section of the store. This section has just been more than quadrupled in size. Parents are buying more books for their kids. And despite technology the sales of books in general is seemed to be rising in these tough economic times.

Well, this brought me back, way back to eastern Europe, were I was born. Now an independent (still communist ) country, Belarus, at the time, was under the umbrella of the Soviet Union…all I can say is that during touch economic times which was “all the times” in those days, Education, books, classical music and sports, where at the highest respect and priority for all people, and more so for parents and their children.

It may not be such a coincidence, that exactly that same change in perspective on education has recently triggered a big interest from schools and parents to teach meditation to children. It has been proven that meditation helps both adults and children to alleviate stress, gain better focus and much more…

Inspired by the Beatles Fundraiser in Radio City on April 4th. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will reunite to the stage to raise money to teach meditation to children around the world. They are going to point it towards one million at –risk children – giving them life long tools.

We are very exited and honored to hold this parallel event at a Campus of one of Canada’s Larges Montessori Schools, Westney Campus, 20 O’Brien Court from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Toronto time (Eastern).

Hundreds of Blaisdale of students teachers and their parents are invited, thousands more are expected to participate on the live stream, over the Internet directly from their home from around the world. Most of the Elementary teachers accompanied by their own families will be in attendance.

We hope you will be there too.
