She graduated from drug companies. The approach of mainstream medicine in the U.S., as directed by profitseeking drug companies, Keyworth said, is to mask symptoms rather than heal and detoxify the body. This, said Keyworth, damages more than it helps, even, she said, causing death in a number of cases, as drugs with dangerous side effects are rushed through the FDA approval process, and unnecessary surgical and other procedures are performed. According to Keyworth, 783,936 deaths per year can be attributed to doctors. "The American public really doesn't know this," said Keyworth. While Keyworth admits that doctors and chemical medicine are sometimes necessary, she said they should be used only as a last resort or in emergency situations. The body is designed to heal itself, Keyworth said, and she firmly believes that a better way to deal with health problems is through holistic (a focus not just on genes and symptoms, but on thoughts, spirituality, environment and other factors that influence health and overall well-being) and bioenergetic (a focus on the body's energy processes, such as cellular respiration) approaches. "I offer a way for the body to heal itself by removing energy blocks," Keyworth said. Keyworth referred to studies conducted by researchers in Europe and elsewhere which provide strong evidence in favor of the kinds of health practices she promotes, such as auricular therapy. And Keyworth feels driven to get the word out. "I'm really passionate about really empowering people with education," said Keyworth, who speaks for free on matters of health as much as she can. Keyworth will be presenting at the fair, as will a number of other experts in health and other fields, who will share their expertise on a variety of subjects such as raw food, modifying recipes to enjoy the food you love without the guilt, reconnective healing and unconditional love, to name a few. One of those presenting at the fair will be Claudia's husband Jon Keyworth, a former Denver Bronco who currently works as a business consultant. In addition to the presentations, vendors at the event will be giving away over $1,000 worth in prizes. Admission is free.

Officer apprehends burglar: From SALEM • A l After approving, the 2008-2009 audit, which is available in the city offices for any resident who wishes to review it, the council discussed an ordinance which brought out quite a few concerned residents. The ordinance in question was one prohibiting extreme or ultimate fighting in Salem. Baker pointed out that the ordinance as written would prohibit training for extreme fighting, and expressed to the council that was not necessarily the intent of the ordinance. "This ordinance is meant to prohibit an event, not training," Baker said. "We should probably clarify the language and bring it up at another meeting." City Councilman Todd Gordon urged the council to do additionS research on the sport. "When I first heard about extreme fighting, I wasn't too excited about it. I have been to several different sporting events and I have changed my mind completely," Gordon said. Councilmember Lynn Durrant made a motion to table the ordinance and was seconded by Sidney Jorgensen. The language in the ordinance will be reworded and will be presented to the council at a later date. Fighter and Salem Resident Drew Daniels approached the council. "I am one of the fighters. Honestly, fighting — training, it's not like a fight. It's a contest. It's not like we're trying to scare one another. I have not hurt one person. A true martial artist knows when to stop. It's highly regulated," Daniels said. "We'd like to train here. When I train, I eat right, I exercise, I keep out of trouble." He elicited a laugh when he added, "Chief James hasn't been to my house in a long time." * |
