Healing hands reach out to credibility
Article Abstract:
Spiritual healers are gaining credence among medical professionals and the Conferderation of Healing Organisations has asked for clinical trials to try to establish whether or not healing does benefit patients. Spiritual healers do not claim to cure, although there are testimonials to their effectiveness. Their work is based on repairing the broken or distorted aura of sick people by spiritual energy, but trials so far have shown no real evidence of cure in arthritis although there has been some effect on leg ulcers.

Decline in jobs reflects Britain's lean years
Article Abstract:
The 23rd Central Statistical Office 'Social Trends' survey, published in 1993, provides information on wealth, taxation and spending, health, crime and justice, households and population, leisure, employment, and housing. It shows that 1/4 of households have only one member, violence is increasing, unemployment is higher and people have less spending money for the first time in ten years. Over 75,000 properties were repossessed in 1991. Divorce has doubled since 1971. People eat less fat and drink less alcohol.
