University.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I then spent time in India gaining practical experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As I am now seeing more and more clients, and some maybe patients of yours, I thought I should advise you of what I am doing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ayurveda is the world&amp;#39;s oldest scientific system of natural medicine, having its heritage in ancient India. It is formally recognized by the World Health Organisation and is known to be a complete health care system, which emphasizes prevention of disease, as well as promotion of health and longevity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ayurveda holds that the primary force in the causation of disease is imbalance resulting from disruption of homeostasis or immunity. Ayurveda does not separate mind from body and places equal importance on mental, emotional, and behavioural factors, which are seen as critical in the development of imbalances, hence disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ayurveda tells us that every creation inclusive of a human being is a model of the universe. In this model, the basic matter and the dynamic forces (Dosha) of the nature determine health and disease, and also determine the medicinal value of any substance (plant and mineral). The Ayurvedic practices, chiefly that of diet, life style, herbal preparation, massage, and meditation, aim to maintain the Dosha equilibrium.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Therapy is customised to the individual&amp;#39;s constitution (Prakruti). Numerous Ayurvedic medicines (plants in particular) have been tested for their biological and clinical potential using modern validation, and thereby setting an interface with modern medicine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;There have been much research on the viability of Ayurvedic herbs to the cure of diseases like AIDS, Cancer, Tuberculosis etc., these experiments have met with great success. However, my current experience would allow me to refer more seriously ill patients to their GP and/or a more qualified Ayurvedic doctor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Should you wish to know more about me or Ayurveda I would be delighted to hear from you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yours faithfully&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: relationship</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Relationship/gkbqr/post.htm#550817</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Aug 2008 17:11:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:550817</guid><dc:creator>New2grammar</dc:creator><description>I see the problem.

More realisitc: I had to take some time off to address some personal matters, but now that I&amp;#39;m back, I&amp;#39;m ready to prove myself to you again.

Greater consideration and discussion needs to be given in the separation of commercial communications and scientific information on vitamins in advertisements. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5- Clear definition on balanced information appearing in advertisement should be determined.</description></item><item><title>Re: Thanks letter to boss after receiving promotion.</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterBossAfterReceivingPromotion/2/gjkgk/Post.htm#548345</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2008 22:12:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:548345</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>I was promoted director of housekeeping and I want to write a letter of thank you to my boss to show my appreciation. </description></item><item><title>Letter for designation change</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterDesignationChange/gjhzz/post.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:38:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:547456</guid><dc:creator>sahmed</dc:creator><description>Hi Everybody,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could you please suggest any changes or additions in the letter posted below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need the reply asap..as i need to sent the letter to my manager in a day or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please amend the letter for language or content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Respected Sir,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;This is regarding the designation change for the year 2008.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;Currently I am holding the Designation for Assistant Test Engineer and itâs supposed to be changed to Test Engineer in June 2008.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;I have joined Testing Group on 04 December 2006, I have been hired with the clause that at the time of hiring they will keep my current role for me i.e. process assistant and later next year end i.e. 2007 they will change it as Test Engineer.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;As per the details given to me it has not been changed so I raised the same in March 2008 and I have been told that it will be changed after the appraisal cycle 2008, as the appraisal cycle and promotion cycle are not interrelated.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;On my follow up with my current Business leader XYZ I have been told that my designation change will now take place in November or December 2008.
