Bada'el-Alternatives

I've been so busy lately that I forgot to post the links to the Badael/Alternatives page of Friday December 14 in Al-Akhbar. The page's theme was HIVAids, and here's the link to my editorial "for the rich only" in which I look at who has really access to aids drugs and to aids awareness programs in the world and in the US. Then the main article by Faysal al Kak, a reproductive health specialist, who talks about the need for a human rights approach to aids, about sexuality education and about the aids situation in Lebanon, (with figures). A small article by Rana Hayek about sex enhancement pills. Other stuff: a short piece about darfieh cheese, a very interesting dairy product made by the herders of Ehden and Bsharreh, and matured inside a goat pelt. In the aromatic herbs section: Fennel.
