Our principle is simple, your body
has the power to heal itself; it was
designed that way. This power
flows from your brain to your body
over the spinal cord and a vast net-
work of nerves. When stresses in

Is it the real bird or a mimic? When naturalists and bird
watchers are on a hike to find birds, they really need to have
excellent ability to distinguish between the real bird singing
or calling and the birds that mimic those calls and songs. I
often wonder when a guide names birds that are seen on the
