I was recently diagnosed with osteopenia. That's one step away from osteoporosis. I bought a beginning yoga video and I want to know if yoga will really stretch my spine and make me flexible. I'm only 43, but I'm very concerned about my spine now. Please advise me on the benefits of yoga for the prevention of osteoporosis and for those already diagnosed with osteoporosis. Note: if any visitor has information on yoga for osteoporosis, please e-mail it to The Yoga Group, and we can pass it on.

Have printed your suggested postures and will take them into NZAF, not sure if it's being done here yet but if not, you can bet we won't be far behind! Am doing volunteer work with the NZ Aids Foundation community support centre "Burnett Centre". I have met some fabulous people and am grateful for my contact with HIV+ people , health workers and other volunteers. We have a great deal to learn in this short life - and there is no time to waste. As the Nike motto says "JUST DO IT!"

It's great that this is here. Yoga can produce incredible results in boosting the immune system. We have used it with Cancer and created spontaneous remission 5 out of 5 times so far. We have not tried an Aids patient but since yoga works through rejuvenation of the natural healing forces, why not?

This is the first time I've visited your site. I find it quite interesting. I will be utilizing it as an informational facility for my friends and clients. I am quite convinced that constant conscious contact with our spiritual energy is truly healing and totally life enhancing for anyone in all circumstances. There is a saying in the Holy Bible that goes, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper". That can be applied to viral warfare. If it is allowed to be present within the body, it will have to learn to live there peacefully, or else not allowed, be it transformed or thrown off. The spiritual energy is in command of matter, oblidging to our conscious will, and responding to our unconditional love.

We are a religious people who feel that we have some extraordinary ( supranatural ) power that was given by God to help humanity, especially in curing the illnesses. At this time We have succeeded in curing thousands of suffering people of various diseases, such as Hepatitis A,B,C, Tumors, Cancers , Leukemia and so on. As We have lot of experience, with the illnesses caused by virus, it's easy for Us to cure such cases. That's why We try to cure people with AIDS or HIV. The problem is , in our country we cannot find people with AIDS / HIV, because they feel ashamed and they do not reveal their Identity.so we cannot develop our ability. So, If there are readers of these Newsgroups who have AIDS or HIV and want to try our treatment, don't hesitate to contact me (Ismed) at +62 816992153. or my E-mail ipermad@ibm.net Please give Us a chance to help people all over the world.
