Leonardo da Vinci apparently captured on canvas signs of an illness possibly suffered by his art model, Mona Lisa. An Italian professor, Dr. Vito Franco, believes the depiction of Mona Lisa's left eye indicates a build-up of fatty acids under the skin, and that this is likely the result of having high cholesterol. Franco further speculates that Mona Lisa may have also been pregnant due to hormonal imbalances that can affect a woman's cholesterol.
I find a quote being reported said by professor Franco interesting and revealing. He said "Illness exists within the body, it does not have a metaphysical or supernatural dimension" (source: thestar.com Jan 07, 2009). Say What?? I guess I'm scratching my head as to why Franco felt inclined to make this statement.
I don't disagree that illnesses do exist within our bodies. Illnesses do manifest themselves physically. Diseases are easier to diagnose when they are visibly apparent, but it is also generally tougher to reverse a manifested disease. But, how about symptoms and imbalances that we experience our medical doctors can't explain? These are the illnesses that have yet to manifest into our bodies and are not as easily diagnosed.

Free Advice from Animal Communicator, Madeleine Walker
Dear Madeleine,
Is Rio one of my spirit guides? It is like we can read each other minds. If he is a spirit guide what is he here to teach me?
Val
Hi Val,
What a gorgeous dog! I feel that most of our animals are here to guide us in
one way or another. I'm not sure about him being your 'spirit' guide - maybe
an earth angel! You obviously have a very deep telepathic connection which is
wonderful. We all could have that communication if only we opened our hearts
and minds to our animal friends. Indigenous tribes have been using telepathy
with all living things for eons, us westerners have just got out of practice!
Give Rio a hug from me!
Do hope this helps,
Madeleine Walker,

Here is a post-holiday story with a happy ending. 53 year old Joan van Holsteijn of England owes her life to the Christmas kissing amulet, mistletoe. Extract of mistletoe is a natural cancer-treatment medicine sometimes used as a complementary therapy as a followup to chemo-treatments to help boost the immune system. However, Joan was afraid of undergoing chemotherapy for her non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and opted to forgo chemo and be treated only with injections made from mistletoe berries.
