Holistic Medicine Programmes

Holistic medicine is growing in popularity. Aromatherapy, herbal medicine and homeobotanical therapy are being used together with modern medical practices to heal patients of various ailments nowadays. To meet the demand for professionals in these relatively new fields, this is where a holistic college like ACHS plays a huge role.

Australasian College of Health Sciences (ACHS) is based in Portland, Oregon but you need not be on campus to be part of its programmes. All you need is an internet connection and an interest in holistic medicine. Established in 1978, ACHS specialises in online holistic health education and is legitimately accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council and state licensed by the Oregon Department of Education. Of course, you may elect to do the course on campus too if you preferred to do so.

Among the courses available at ACHS are aromatherapy, herbal medicine and homeobotanical therapy. You could pursue to be master aromatherapists and master herbalists under the tutelage of dedicated ACHS lecturers. Also, as students, you will receive discounts on their online store.

If you are not financially capable to enrol in the courses, you could look into some loans and scholarships available. ACHS offers a Military Scholarship Program for eligible, active duty military, serving in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserves. Even Military Veterans and spouses of active duty personnel are eligible for the ACHS Military Scholarship which reduces 35% of the total tuition costs.

Hopefully with this paid review, you have a better understanding of what ACHS has to offer.

Tilapia As Biofuel?

Previously, we had to fight with cars for maize, palm oil, sunflower seeds, soybeans, rapeseed and many other agricultural products that we humans consume as food, with the rise of biofuel production to replace petroleum based fuels. It seems now the fight has included that of tilapia too. In Honduras, tilapia is being used to make biodiesel to feed automobiles instead of fish & chips for humans. Check out the April 20 Aquafinca report.

The biodiesel project started in August 2005. With the fish waste, St Peter Fish produces fishmeal, fish oil for feedstock, biodiesel and glycerin for soap production. Currently, it produces about 30,000 gallons of biodiesel per month. This is slightly more than the company’s own energy needs. The plant has a capacity of 4000 gallons per day, so production could be increased. The raw material that is used for biodiesel could also be used as animal feedstock but Tilapia contains no omega 3, giving it a low value on the animal feedstock market.

So, do you all still think biodiesel is really that good an alternative?!?

Next Scientific Revolution?

Using innovative copyrights and a Web 2.0 platform, John Wilbanks may just transform how scientific discoveries are made. Is this the next scientific revolution?

When Pasteur had his eureka moment, the processes leading up to it were barely different than Archimedes's. The scientist hypothesized, created his tools, and executed his experiments with little need for input from his colleagues. My, how things have changed. As science has become increasingly complex and interconnected, even the smallest a-ha instance demands that researchers spend the bulk of their time on grunt work—combing through relevant journal articles that are poorly annotated, begging colleagues for necessary materials (a biologist may need specific cell lines, for instance), and tracking down data sets. As scientific goals grow more multifaceted, the challenges for research and development lie not only in the experiments themselves, but also in the transfer of information among peers.
