Diane Olive’s “Natural Ways for Healing Mites and Morgellons” is All Set for Display at the L.A. Times Festival of Books 2023
Diane Olive was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 8, 1959. She resides in Encinitas, California, with her husband, John. Contracting Morgellons disease was the second time Diane became extremely ill and had to learn to heal herself since medical doctors in both instances did not treat the illness properly. The first time Diane became sick, she was forced to heal herself of candida, food allergies, and celiac disease. Following this illness, Diane wrote her first book, Think Before You Eat, which explains why eating healthy foods is essential for the health of the body. Diane is certified in Health from Rosemont College, Pennsylvania, and has a BA in Fine Arts from California State University, Northridge. Her interest in health, art, and serving God has inspired her to study about diet, herbs, and human values, and spirituality. -- WebWire

AEPi Reaches 613 Matches for Gift of Life Bone Marrow Donations
He was an Alpha Epsilon Pi International Fraternity (AEPi) brother at California State University – Northridge (CSUN). His brothers liked to have fun, Eidelman told eJewishPhilanthropy, but were also sensitive and caring, saying “I love you” to each other. They were involved in tikkun olam, with most jumping at the opportunity to enter the Gift of Life registry, an AEPi partnership since 2004. A year and a half after he swabbed himself, he was given the opportunity to save a life. The person he donated stem cells to in March 2022 was a close genetic match, so he figured they were an Ashkenazi Jew. He saw his donation as a chance to “do something for the Jewish community like the Jewish community at CSUN has done for me,” he said. “There’s a sense of brotherhood among all Jewish people, whatever fraternity they may be in, whatever social group, it doesn’t matter.” -- eJewishPhilanthtopy
