Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the
leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost
entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this
represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media
and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since
we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to
collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.
The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and
deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are
doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.
Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and
people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can
achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the
true nature of who we are.
Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural
models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems
and create new options.
Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN.
We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision
of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

Positive News was handed the guardianship
of Global Village News and Resources in summer of 2004. Although we would like
to continue to make the archives available to subscribers and readers we would
like to point out that stories published prior to issue 89 were not under our
editorial guidance and would like to make a distinction that these are not
necessarily a reflection of the current opinions of our editorial team.
Holistic Approach Treats Patient, Not Illness
United Kingdom - “Clover House
has done more for me in 15 weeks than the National Health Service did in
10 years.” This statement by one of the Clover House clients is typical
of the scores of testimonies the Bristol based charity has received over
the past several years. Take for example the case of 11-year-old
Stephen, whose bedwetting stopped after his first visit or that of
visiting therapist and cancer patient, Ian Gawler, who had been told my
medical professionals that he had only two weeks to live. That was over
a year ago. With the help of Clover House, he healed himself and now
runs a therapy centre in Australia. These are only two examples of the
wide range of health concerns that Clover House addresses. Others have
included severe cerebral palsy, behavioural problems, asthma, toddler
constipation or emotional stress.
"We treat the child, not the illness,” is the centre’s proud boast,
and it does so by offering a unique combination of three therapies –
Nutrition, Imagery and Aromatherapy. Expert therapists offer guidance on
nutritional deficiency and allergic reaction to food and drink; they
help the children create their own scenarios as part of the healing
process; and they offer massage using essential oils. Parents are taught
how to use the self-help techniques at home.
Established in 1996, Clover House has gone from strength to strength.
In its first year, it had a tiny income of £4,000. It now needs £80,000
a year to cover its burgeoning care costs. It can only afford to operate
two days a week at present, seeing 12 families a week, and is dependent
solely on donations to support its work. The mother of one 14-year-old
boy suffering from Crohn’s disease says she always believed alternative
medicine would be beyond her reach. But Clover House, she says, has
given her back her son. “My wall has come down, and the change that I
wished for has happened. A smile on my son’s face, a smile of happiness;
no pain, no discomfort, a smile of contentment.”
