Kia Ora Whanau

We had a hint of summer weather with some lovely warm days over the weekend. While many of us are looking forward to the summertime some will be wondering how to fit into those summer clothes again. We'll give you some sensible suggestions for losing weight for summertime. Have you ever wondered how much damage your lifestyle may have done to your body? Do you look in the mirror and wonder how healthy you are on the inside? 'Turn Your Body Clock Back' is a six-part series on TV3 that shows how it is possible to repair the damage and literally turn back your body clock in just 8 weeks. Talking about TV, Native Affairs reporters did an interview with us about Maori using the web to promote our language and culture. More info about this further down. We believe websites are a great way to promote your work in the community or for accountability purposes. We can offer you a 3 - 4 page website for $1000 with no hidden costs and you can use the funding that is tagged for computer hardware/software. Scroll down to reap the benefits. Atarangi Muru is heading back to the United States, so if you have any friends or whanau who need Traditional Maori Healing over there then check out her website.

Losing weight the easy way is just about getting smarter. It doesn't have to be difficult and you don't need all those expensive diet products. For starters, there are good fats and bad fats. Bad fats are fats on most meats, chicken skin, fatty pieces on pork bones, butter, fish n chips cooked in animal fat. Get the picture? The body will not release bad fats (stored fats) or bad cholesterol unless you give it good oils. Good fats are Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 found in fish oil capsules, salmon fish, evening primrose oil, nuts, avocados and good oils like olive, sunflower, rice bran and canola oils. The body will exchange the stored fats for good oils and eliminate the stored fats from the body. Massage milks the body of toxins and poisons that are stored in the fat cells. Two-litres of water per day flushes the toxins out of the body and helps you lose weight. Saunas, steam baths and hot pools open the pores and let those poisons out too but don't forget to drink water and cut out the teas and coffees as they dehydrate your body even further so the poisons don't come out. Now on top of all that, all you need is more vegetables in your diet and a little regular exercise; walk in the park every couple of days or a stint at the gym and those summer clothes will be hanging off you.

Native Affairs (Maori Television) are doing a story on Maori using the web to promote and foster the Maori language and culture. We have had people contact us from all over the New Zealand and from people living in different countries all over the world. Anyway, our interview is showing on Maori TV on Sunday night 8pm or Monday 10pm.

'Turn Your Body Clock Back' is a program with a straight-talking surgeon and GP who meets people with toxic alcohol habits and lifestyle choices who have made their body go to pot. By assessing the extent of the damage with a number of tests and a MRI scan, she is able to reveal the true state of their internal organs and estimate their life expectancy. With only eight weeks coaching, they are able to improve their fitness, self-esteem, diet, and beat those bad habits. The liver damage from alcohol, sluggish heart and abnormal results in sperm completely turn around. The next program is about a woman who is really angry. Let's see what that does to the body on Tuesday night 8pm TV3. Be there.

Websites. Michael, our website designer, has been building computers since he was 13 (there were no computer stores then!) He has more than 27 years of hands-on computer experience and can handle nearly every type of website design. A website for your Hau Ora can promote health hui, local medical or alternative health services, referral to practitioners with photographs, regular articles on health information or monthly newsletters, links to other Maori health or government services, and show accountability for funding to your local PHO's or health funding authorities. Photographs of the locals on websites are exciting for everybody and boosts the morale of the people in the community.

Michael can do an uncomplicated 3 - 4 page website for your Hau Ora or organisation for $1000. There are no monthly charges and the only ongoing cost would be the annual hosting charge and domain name fee that is charged each year to keep the site running and this costs around $250. The main benefit of these types of sites is that you can update the information yourself without the expense of having a programmer charge you to do this. Examples: http://www.sexworks.org/ http://www.lodgeawatea.org.nz http://www.ata-rangi.com/

More complex commercial sites are around the $10,000 price range, like the National Maori Healers site: http://www.nrw.co.nz/ or http://www.laserworks.us

Our own website is a classic example of a more detailed commercial health information website with custom programming, i.e., online chat sessions which is worth around $20,000 www.aiohealing.com

Atarangi Muru is off to the states again next month and will be working in Sante Fe - New Mexico from 2 - 6 October, Sacramento 7 - 12 Oct, Loomis 13th Oct, Grass Valley 14 -16 Oct, Concord 17-19th Oct, Los Angeles 21-22 Oct, Topanga 23-26 Oct. She also plans on working in Australia in November so let your whanau know. Her website is www.ata-rangi.com

We have not been able to progress with our maori healing wananga as we have had to do some health care for ourselves. Ma te Wa whanau. Be well.

Arohanui ki a koutou katoa
