It has never been a secret that one of the principal objectives of Positive Health PH Online  was to attempt to bridge the gap between orthodox/allopathic and alternative/complementary medicine. The rationale was that to publish authoritative and credible clinical articles, case studies and published research across the entire spectrum of the many disciplines encompassing the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of health would constitute and add to the body of material available about natural treatment approaches to health issues.

We pay tribute and bid a sad, fond farewell to Stephen Cooper, co-Founder of the Bloomsbury Alexander Centre in London, Alexander teacher and musician, warm-hearted and friendly, with a long-time presence in Positive Health PH Online with whom we have had an association since the turn of the 21^st century. Stephen recently died of cancer; his obituary is published in this issue.
