Fancy a dip in the Dead Sea?
The Dead Sea is the lowest inhabited place on earth (about 400 m below sea level). Lying in the southern part of Israel, and part of the Great Rift Valley which extends from Western Syria to the East African Lakes, it is the most saline lake (with salinity reaching 290g/L compared to that of the Red Sea, with salinity of just 40g/L) known to mankind [1, 2].

Light Therapy-The “Helios” of disease treatment
The use of light as a therapeutic agent can be traced back over thousands of years. Indeed, the sun has been an omnipotent, almighty deity throughout the world since the start of human history. From the time of the Pharaohs, most ancient civilisation and cultures have worshipped the sun or sun gods and made some connection between sunlight and health.

They are also the only site where allergen levels are associated with severity of asthma. Beds have for a long time been suggested as the most important source of house dust mite allergen exposure for children, due to the fact that... (posted by Ellis 4 years 92 days ago.)
