We are born with genetic tendencies of succumbing to chronic, degenerative diseases that we inherit from our parents. We grow up being told that how our health goes as we age is mostly dictated by our genes. In my case, my father died from a heart attack at the age of 52. Heart attacks also claimed the lives of both of my grandfathers. It looks like the odds are against me. What if the foods we eat have more to do with the expression of our genetic tendencies than our genes? Over the last 12 y …

Bodhi Meditation is a form of energy healing. Bodhi Meditation is unique in the following ways 1). It channels universal energy rather than working with what’s within one person. It transcends the genetic and physical limits of just one being by relying and drawing energy from the entire universe. 2). The entire human body is the receiver of this energy. The energy’s effects on the body do not rely on certain meridian paths or pressure points of the body, which are the common requirements for …

Multiple sources include the census and  DNA.  The group's name is "Sankofa," a Ghanian word meaning " to go back for that which you have forgotten." We go back to our ancestors to find our true selves.

New Yorkers like choices. We love venturing outside the medical mainstream. But we've been stymied a bit. NYC's 85-plus modalities are currently weighted disproportionately towards therapeutics. Few discovery techniques based on natural biomarkers are available to practitioners and users. That's where Iridology shines. Learn what you will be able to do, empowered by familiarity with precisely what the diagnostic marks (yes, they do all have meaning) in your eyes mean. Join us if you ar …

Most of us agree that most people, in this day and age, are under a toxic load.  We are constantly exposed to environmental toxins not only in industrial chemical exposures, but in our every day life including our food, laundry detergent, hair care products, etc but in the air we breath, the water we drink and the beds we lay in. The cost of these toxins is not completely understood nor should it be underestimated!  Toxins have the capacity to rewire us - to change our thoughts, behaviors and de …

The purpose of this group is to help those who are determined to get over their trouble speaking to and approaching women. There is a misconception that only physically unattractive people need help with the female species. While this segment faces the most obvious obstacles, there are also a large number of regular and even genetically blessed men who find it difficult to communicate with women. Our meetups will aim to address these common issues. I am not a pick up artist or a smooth casanova, …

This Meetup Group is for people with an interest in all-things-science to get together, and not just on Saturdays. Maybe you often find yourself starting to tell a science-related story at a party, only to trail off awkwardly when you realize that you're not as clear on the details as you thought. Or your friends are hinting that they'd really rather not hear about Planet Earth anymore. Quite possibly, while others reminisce about Saturday morning cartoons, you fondly recall watching Mr. Wizar …
