  • Harriet´s Rhythm of life
    Working in a Red Light District

    “Equity in health means access to healthcare, regardless of who you are, regardless of what you do. I’m convinced health is everyone's right…” Harriet Kamashanyu in today's Podcast. As it is the case almost all over the world, women in Africa, including Uganda, are an economically disadvantaged group. The lack of economic power of these communities, especially among young women, is a major obstacle to long-term development in Uganda. Harriet is the Founder and Executive Director of Rhythm of Life Kampala, an organization set out to provide health care services to sex-workers in the red-light district in Kampala and to educate their daughters in a variety of programmes. This is an episode about women empowerment, transformation and the Rhythms of Life.

  • TCM – Prevention and Treatment for COVID 19
    Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine on COVID-19

    The Coronavirus disease pandemic has been rapidly spreading globally and has caused worldwide social and economic disruption. As scientists race to develop a vaccine for Covid-19, China has been championing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a way to treat the disease. Todays podcast is a Special. We want to enrich the Media world with some really enlightening information on how TCM was used in China to prevent and treat COVID 19, in order to get severe cases under control, or not even get to that point. Be it by giving hospital staff certain nutrition advice to prevent infections with COVID 19, or treating the vast population when an outbreak threatened to get the tight hospital facilities for so many people overloaded. In either case, the results are impressive and one wonders - why is hardly anybody talking about these studies and results? There are quite a large number of people, who have actually been treated that way. Luckily, when talking to Angela about our every day experience with COVID 19, she was very happy to join our podcast and let more people know about what information she's getting, when digging a bit more into what TCM can contribute to deal with the worldwide pandemic. Convince yourself and join todays podcast - I promise you, it is very entertaining!

    Here, as promised, you find the list of herbs that are being used in the TCM formula to prevent and treat the COVID-19, mostly in the 3rd wave in north China. This is a translation provided by our guest. Before you use this Formula, please ask a professional chinese doctor, western doctor or pharmacist:
