The professor in his wife’s overcoat

Thu, May 12, 2016

Tom Dillon, originally from Co Sligo, married Geraldine Plunkett, on Easter Sunday 1916. The Plunkett family were practically all committed to the Rising, and the subsequent War of Independence. Tom qualified from UCD as a chemist, worked with the Volunteers, and supplied them with a steady stream of hand grenades and bombs. In May 17 1918 he was arrested and interned with other Irish Rebels, in Gloucester prison, England.

They had two small children at the time, so visits were not easy to organise. However, alarm bells rang when Geraldine read in the Evening Herald that the deadly ‘flu pandemic, which had swept Europe at the time, had hit her husband’s prison. Twenty-eight men had been removed to a nursing home. Tom and Desmond FitzGerald’s names were included. Geraldine took the night boat over, arrived at the nursing home the following day only to find complete chaos there. Not only were the prisoners seriously ill, so were the staff.*

Crystal healing in Amber

Thu, May 05, 2016

What are crystals? Crystals are holistic tools which we use to raise the vibration of our chakras in our bodies. The seven chakras are the energy centres in our body through which energy flows. The chakras are located from the top of our head to the lower part of our spine, each links to our external and internal organs, cells, and DNA. Our chakras change all the time from closed due to stress, illness, frustration, anger, and negativity to open from love, romance, passion, or creativity. Crystal therapy allows us to repair, fix, or align our chakras so the energy flows correctly through our bodies so we can vibrate to the highest frequency, allowing us to be the best we can be.

Eliminate fibroids with Care Cure acupuncture

Thu, May 05, 2016

The most common symptoms of uterine fibroids are abdominal pain, decreased period cycle days, heavier menstrual bleeding, increased discharge, dropping down sensation of hard object in the stomach, and even frequent urination due to the bladder being pressed by the womb.

The elimination of fibroids is connected with the liver function, according to traditional Chinese medicine theory. For example the liver regulates blood flow, nourishing the acupuncture channels running through the body. This liver blood also acts as a generating source of menstrual blood. The uterine fibroid is actually a symptom of Qi and blood stagnation occurring in the womb. Normally there is an abundant blood supply circulated in the womb, but stagnation of this can lead to menstrual bleeding which leads to a blockage occurring, forming fibroids.
