Editor's Note: Holistic Medicine

For any of you in or around the Northern California area: I'm now the owner of the Eastern Holistic Center in Sebastopol California. If you're looking for holistic forms of health care and live in the area, feel free to contact me at easternHolisticCenter "@" yahoo.com

For any of you who don't "get" how holistic health care ties in to the "end of the world", check out this on the use of acupuncture in theaters ranging from the NFL to the battlefield to emergency first respsonse/disaster situations. (It amazes me how many people - even ones who read this site - need to be clued in on what to me is the obvious connection between holistic medicine and doom.)

This will not affect the operation of LATOC in any significant way.
