Tracey Dunn Reports.
Sadly,I have just found out in the last hour that one of my extended family in North London,where I was born, has been stabbed to death.
Ben Kinsella was the 16 year old brother of ex Eastender actress Brooke Kinsella.
In the week where I pitched my 10 minute screenplay about youth gun crime in front of actress Cathy Tyson and Channel 4 are running a week of programmes called 'Disarming Britain' about youth violence; it seems fitting to be writing about healing.
On Saturday 28th June 'Alternatively Better' of 556-558 Aigburth Road, Liverpool presented a 'feel good day for mind, body and soul' at St. Mary's Church Hall, also in Aigburth.

Chinese medicine including 'cupping' and acupuncture:
Andreas Feyler. Tel. 07733231726 or e-mail andreasfeyler@hotmail.com. www.cheshirenaturalhealth.co.uk
I was given a treatment by Andreas who lectures at the North East Wales institite of higher education. I had various glass cups placed on the top of my back and shoulders and air was suctioned out. This treatment invigorates and strengthens the immune system. The glasses were left for just a minute or so in case they left red marks although in London people like the actress Gwynneth Paltrow wear their red circles as fashion statements. I found the cupping (pronounced MHGM in arabic!) a very unusual treatment to rid tension.
zinc testing:
Wendy Rogers. E-mail info@rainbownutrition.co.uk. W. www.rainbow nutrition.co.uk
Wendy Rogers gave me a zinc taste test. All I did was swoosh a clear liquid around my mouth for 10 seconds. I had a good reaction due to the amounts of houmous and chickpeas I eat everyday. Zinc is also found in beans and nuts.
Body Fat Analysis
Laura Carter. Tel. 0151 494 4004.
David LLoyd leisure centre, Speke.
I stood on a machine like weighing scales to be analysed for my fat content. A gentle current was sent through my body to see how much I had. I had too much even though I am thin and it was recommended I drink more water and cut down on crisps. A healthier snack would be chopped cauliflower, carrots or broccoli with a dip of soy sauce, olive oil and basamic vinegar.
