It all started when he was 2 and was diagnosed with leukaemia. He
has since been given chemotherapy and radiation. His parents are trying
everything from herbal remedies, bio energy sessions, magnets in his
pillow and mattress, fruit and vegetable drinks to acupuncture to help
ease his pain. He is in remission now, after a bone marrow transplant,
and his parents continue to blend traditional care with unconventional
therapies. Everything that is possible must be done for him, says his
mother. They were first cautious but later decided to keep trying
various treatments too.<br />
American Academy of Paediatrics has passed
a brand new guideline which says that all doctors should be aware of
other treatment. Unconventional treatments are not uncommon any more
with 30% parents trying it out. Such remedies are always coming up with
chronic illnesses or disabilities such as cancer, autism, sickle cell
anaemia.<br />
The physicians will have to out in an extra effort to
make the patient feel that he is concerned. Knowing what treatments are
being used helps the physicians actually monitor the child and see if
the treatment is helping and whether it can be recommended to others as
well. The amount of information found on the internet is one main reason
for this change said the paediatric haematologist and oncologist at
Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters. The patients to be asked
the alternative medicine they are trying.<br />
The risks involved are
told to the parents by him at the same time that he gives them support.
Chemotherapy can be adversely affected with a lot of folic acid in the
alternative medicine. There's nothing like deep touch massage, music
therapy, or meditation he explains. His support is for anything that has
no detrimental effect. It is but natural that the parents will only
feel better when they've tried everything.<br />
Doctors today have to
face a lot more problems thanks to alternative treatments The Internet
is full of pitches for such treatments many of which are unproven
scientifically and difficult to assess. For instance, determining what
ingredients are in herbal remedies and vitamin supplements can be nearly
impossible.<br />
Alternative medicines are being studied at the
Medical schools while massage or chiropractic care is being paid for by
insurance companies. But the array of treatments seems to grow by the
day. The costly alternative treatments not covered by insurance are
always warned about y the doctor.<br />
The alternative treatment and
the doctor's advice always go hand in hand said the boy's mother. The
fruit and vegetable drink has been completely stopped for three months
now because of the bone marrow transplant that has just taken place. The
parents have been ready to take Alternative and complementary therapies
for their parents to make sure their children don't get any serious
diseases.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Hello fellow Tinnitus sufferers: This article will be about
treatment for the relief of Tinnitus, both conventional medicine, and
Alternative options.<br />
It is indeed unfortunate that there really
aren't any conventional medications that successfully treat Tinnitus,
for all patients. As I have mentioned before, there are many different
causes of Tinnitus. Therefore it stands to reason that the relief of
Tinnitus would also be different per individual.<br />
Conventional
medicine has come up with Lidocaine, which in some people has been
beneficial in the treatment of Tinnitus. The drawback is it has to be
administered by intravenous injection, has a short shelf life, and has
undesirable side effects.<br />
Melatonin is another medication tested.
It had no effect on most Tinnitus sufferers, except those who couldn't
sleep because of their Tinnitus. The Melatonin given at bedtime helped
them to sleep.<br />
Education, Tinnitus retraining, and medications to
treat symptoms are all the conventional medicine have in their arsenal
for the treatment for Tinnitus, and in some people it has gone a long
way to reduce the effects of Tinnitus on their lives.<br />
Alternative Treatments for the Relief of Tinnitus<br />
There
is a need for Alternative treatments for Tinnitus relief as there is no
cure for Tinnitus. These are not readily accepted by the physicians
practicing conventional medicine. They are taught that treatment can
only be achieved through modern Pharmacology.<br />
Alternative
treatments such as herbs, plant extracts, and mineral supplementation,
laser light therapy, enzyme therapy, Botox injections, and magnetic
Stimulation, are all possible treatments for Tinnitus.<br />
Alternative
treatment of Tinnitus might be as simple as variations in your diet, it
could be you only need vitamin supplementation. Some sort of herbal
remedy may give you the relief of your symptoms.<br />
Lipoflavonoids, B
vitamins, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and manganese, are
nutrient supplements that have shown promise in the treatment of
Tinnitus. There are many more to be discussed in my next installment.<br />
</div>
<div id="article-resource">
I am a Tinnitus sufferer myself, for many years now. It is my
belief that conventional medicine alone, cannot cure Tinnitus. I do
however believe that nutrition, alternative therapies, vitamin
supplementation, along with conventional medicine, relief of Tinnitus
symptoms can be achieved. Follow me here to relief of Tinnitus
[http://www.reliefoftinnitus.com] to a source of information that will
surely enlighten you.<br />

<div id="article-content">
What is stage 4 lung cancer? It is the most advanced stage of
lung cancer known today. Having cancer at this stage means that the
tumor at the lungs has spread out to the other parts of the body. This
is also called metastasis. Identifying lung cancer stage is important to
determine the extent of the spread of cancer and what possible
treatment that a willing cancer patient must go through if he opt to be
treated. This type of lung cancer may affect the brain, the liver, the
adrenal glands and the bone.<br />
Usually, a lung cancer is not
detected on its early stage. Most symptoms start to manifest only at the
later stage of the disease. Some stage 4 lung cancer symptoms are
persistent coughing and sometimes with bloody mucous, shortness of
breath, hoarseness of voice, difficulty in swallowing, tenderness of
muscles with intolerable muscle pains, repeated occurrence of pneumonia
or bronchitis and fatigue. Affecting the brain, the symptoms are severe
headaches, vision changes and seizure attacks. For the liver and adrenal
glands, a cancer patient may experience abdominal pain, fever,
yellowish skin, swollen legs, weight loss and loss of appetite. Bone
breakage occurs even when there is no injury that took place. Note
however that different people may show different symptoms as this will
depend on the other organs affected.<br />
One should undergo multiple
tests when most of the symptoms manifest. Stage 4 lung cancer can be
diagnosed through various tests like chest x-rays, bone scans, CT scans
or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound and other blood tests.
After taking all the necessary tests and a diagnosis has been made, an
individual who is said to have this disease is entitled to get a second
opinion, after all, its his life that is at stake. Note however that
this lung cancer has no more cure but there are treatment methods that
an individual may undergo to reduce pain at a certain level, slow down
the growth of cancer cells and extend his life.<br />
The common
treatments recommended to slow down the spread of cancer cells for stage
4 lung cancer are chemotherapy, radiation therapy and in some cases the
combination of both. Why not surgery? Surgery at this point in time is
not recommended because as stated, this stage is characterized with the
spread of tumors in various organs. The purpose of surgery is to remove
the organ affected with tumor. To remove all the organs with tumor will
just make the cancer patient weaker and may even be the cause for him to
pass away sooner than he should. Chemotherapy, as a treatment, makes
use of chemical agents to destroy the cancer cells. There are three ways
to take this treatment. It can be taken orally, through injection or
through the veins. What is important is the dosage of administering this
treatment. But there is a setback. The treatment can also destroy
non-cancer cells. Chemotherapy can not distinguish a good cell from a
cancer cell. Radiation therapy on the other hand use radioactive
substances to target and destroy the DNA of the cancer cells. An
external machine can be used or a radioactive material can be inserted
into the body and position it close to the area affected by the tumor.
Like chemotherapy, radiation therapy can also damage normal body cells.<br />
In
consideration of the family of a cancer patient, they will also
experience agony as they witness the physical hardships that their love
one is going through. The cancer patient with so much effort will try
not to show how much physical pain he is experiencing because he knows
that his love ones will also suffer. In reciprocity, family members will
try hard not to show how much they sympathize and empathize for their
cancer patient. For most families, a disease such as stage 4 lung cancer
has brought the family members closer to each other. One concern that
brings the family together is the fact that this is a terminal case. It
is but human nature to want to spend time with a love one who you know
will be gone soon. Another reason concerns family decisions and support
that need to be made. When a patient decides that he wants to undergo
treatment, he will be needing all the support that his family can give.<br />
Stage
4 lung cancer is a dreadful disease that no one wants to have but there
are ways not to reach this stage if you already have lung cancer.<br />

<div id="article-content">
There are many different causes of hip pain. And among the
various problems requiring arthritis treatment, this ranks near the top.<br />
This article will discuss the three most common types.<br />
<b>Osteoarthritis... the major culprit</b><br />
The
first is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a disease of cartilage, the
gristle that caps the ends of long bones, and which cushions joints to
allow gliding. When cartilage wears away, in other words, deteriorates,
it causes the bones in the hip to rub against each other.<br />
The pain
of osteoarthritis is generally felt in the groin. It also may be felt
in the buttocks. Patients may have difficulty getting their shoes and
socks on and off the affected foot. Getting in and out of a chair may be
difficult. Going up and down stairs may also be a problem.<br />
On examination range of motion of the hip is abnormal. In particular, internal rotation tends to be affected early.<br />
If
osteoarthritis of the hip is suspected, the doctor will often order
x-rays. The x-rays will show narrowing of the joint space as well as
bone spurs and cysts in the bones next to the joint.<br />
The treatment
will vary depending on the extent of symptoms. Patients may respond to
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, intra-articular
steroid injections, and stretching exercises.<br />
While patients may
eventually require total joint replacement, if the arthritis is not that
severe, a stem cell procedure may be considered.<br />
<b>Hip tendonitis... a major player</b><br />
Another
cause of hip pain is tendinitis. Tendinitis causes inflammation in the
tough fibrous band that connects bones to muscles. The most common cause
of tendinitis is overuse.<br />
There are many different tendons in the
hip region. The tendons in the front of the hip, if affected, will
cause pain in the groin. This is particularly evident when a patient
climbs stairs or gets up from the chair.<br />
Tendinitis on the outside
of the hip will cause pain with stair climbing. Also, the patient may
experience discomfort at night if they try to lie on the affected hip.<br />
Tendinitis involving the hamstring tendons in the hip may cause pain in the buttocks with walking or running.<br />
The
diagnosis is suspected by history and confirmed by physical
examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be needed to confirm
the extent of damage.<br />
The treatment of choice is rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy, early on.
<br />Sometimes, steroid injections are required for acute problems.<br />
For
more chronic tendon problems, a percutaneous needle tenotomy using
ultrasound guidance followed by platelet rich plasma (PRP) is generally
advised. Surgery is rarely required.<br />
<b>Last... but not least</b><br />
The
final common problem that may affect the hip is bursitis. Bursitis is
inflammation of the bursae, the small sacks of fluid that cushion bones
and tendons.<br />
The pain is felt along the outside of the hip. It is extremely painful when examined.<br />
Treatment involves anti-inflammatory medications, ice, physical therapy, and stretching.<br />
If non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are ineffective, steroid injection may be required.<br />
Again, this is a situation where percutaneous needle tenotomy with platelet rich plasma (PRP) may be needed.<br />
There
are obviously other causes of hip pain, but these are the three most
common problems requiring specific arthritis treatment.<br />

<b>Magnetic Therapy Bracelet</b></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226334952524791125.post-44128664463391676932012-04-03T22:45:00.000+08:002012-04-03T22:45:02.741+08:00To Heal Yourself - Understand the Powerful Effect Your Emotions Have on Your Body!<div id="article-body">
<div id="article-content">
Unconscious, repressed emotions initiate physical illness such as
hypertension, coronary artery disease, neck and back pain, migraine,
repetitive stress injuries, tendonitis, IBS, Crohn's, colitis, heart
burn, hiatus hernia, fibromyalgia, arthritis, lyme disease, weight gain,
hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalances, PMS, eczema,
psoriasis, and even cancer.<br />
How can emotions have such a powerful impact on the body?<br />
The
circulation of blood is under control of a subsystem of the central
nervous system known as the autonomic nervous system. An emotion, such
as anger, fear, or guilt, initiates a process in the brain which
activates the autonomic nervous system, causing a reduction of blood
circulation to the involved area. The affected area is now deprived of
their full complement of oxygen, resulting in a reduced rate of repair
and an increase in inflammation.<br />
If the affected area is a joint,
tendon or a muscle, they will be more prone to injure and will remain in
an inflammatory state causing arthritis, RA, fibromyalgia, back/ neck
pain or some other pain syndrome. If the affected areas are the
intestines a person will be more likely to develop IBS, colitis,
Crohn's, spastic colon, bowel irregularities; if in the cardiovascular
system, one would be more prone to inflammation of the blood vessels
causing plaque formation and heart disease; if in the brain, it could
lead to anxiety, depression, dementia and Alzheimer; if in the hormonal
system, it could cause weight gain, hypothyroidism, PMS, fatigue, or
adrenal burn-out.<br />
An interesting note on cancer, Nobel Prize
winner Otto Warburg proved over 50 years ago that cancer occurs whenever
any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirement.<br />
Also, did you know inflammation is thought to be the culprit behind the visible signs of aging?<br />
As
you can see, addressing underlying repressed emotions can increase
oxygenation to tissue and reduce inflammation resulting in improved
health, less pain, more youthful appearance, and weight loss.<br />
<u>Powerful techniques used to assist in the healing process of unresolved emotions:</u><br />
<em>Inner Child Therapy:</em><br />
The
concept of the 'inner child' stands for unfinished emotions and
feelings from our first years. It stands for essential aspects of our
being, like trust, innocence and natural energy that have been damaged
or oppressed in our early years. When areas within have gone unhealed
and unheard they may show up in your outer life as problematic
communications, anger issues, dysfunctional relationships, addictions or
codependency. They may leave us feeling sad, lonely, abandoned or
distrustful. Most of these issues were established out of earlier
experiences which were learned in early childhood.<br />
<em>Magnified Healing</em><br />
Many
have described Magnified Healing energy as "soft yet powerful,"
"magnetic," "very yin" (or feminine) in its essence. Using the center
line of the body and starting at the top of the head, practitioners
place one hand in front of the body and the other behind the body. They
then move their hands down the body all the way to the feet until the
entire body has been treated with Magnified Healing. Magnified Healing
recipients often feel a pleasant tingling or pulsing in areas with which
the healing facilitator is working. The recipient generally completes
the treatment with great reduction of stress and pain.<br />
<em>Heart Linking</em><br />
A
heartlink is an energy cord, or channel, that we establish between our
heart center and the heart center of another. Heartlinks serve as a tool
that fills us with energy to the point of overflowing enabling us to
share the excess with others.<br />
<em>Reconnection Therapy</em><br />
Reconnection
Therapy is the process of cleansing and re-activating our personal
grid...our connection to everything else in the universe. Many people
report feeling a new sense of confidence and empowerment with clarity
about their life's purpose. Almost everyone reports their desires
manifesting more quickly. Physical changes are increased energy and
vitality, looking younger, softer skin, staying healthy, not catching
colds and viruses, even the healing of disease. The dependence on
medicines and supplements falls away as you allow the wisdom that
created your body to heal your body.<br />
<em>Trauma Release Techniques</em><br />
Trauma
is defined as emotional, psychological or physiological symptoms that
result from events that overwhelm the nervous system. Feelings of being
out of control or helplessness may result after a traumatic experience.
This could be something as seemingly non life-threatening, but traumatic
none the less as a dental and medical procedure, falls, or minor car
accidents. When a state of helplessness and lack of control accompanies
negative life experiences, our brains are unable to rid themselves of
the messages of threat. All of the experiences that accompanied these
traumatic events are mainly stored in our unconscious survival memory
centers.<br />
The techniques used help to extinguish the portions of
traumatic memory with ease, without having to "re -live the experience"
but by eliminate those memories cues that cause a "fight, flight or
freeze reaction."<br />
<em>Removal of Energy Blocks</em><br />
Energy
Blocks can take many forms, such as stagnated blood or lymph causing
toxins to build up in the body, thus resulting in disease. Another form
can be limiting beliefs and expectations preventing us from manifesting
fulfillment in our lives. "When Qi (a name for energy) flows freely
along the meridians, people are free from illness; if the Qi is blocked,
the pain follows." Ancient Chinese Saying.<br />
<em>Locked-in negative emotions</em><br />
Quantum
biology teaches us that consciousness is not localized to any one
place. Every time you have a thought or a feeling, a desire, an
instinct, or a drive, the body produces specific neuropeptides to
communicate that feeling to the rest of the body. Researchers have found
receptor sites to these neuropeptides in the immune system and in all
organs of the body. Because of this direct mind-body link, negative
emotions; e.g. anger, grief, rejection, fear, worry, self-criticism; can
create a physical effect. For example, someone that is very
self-critical will communicate that feeling to the immune system,
causing the immune system to think that there is something wrong with
the self and start to attack the self (your own body) leading to an
autoimmune disorder, such as arthritis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,
colitis, asthma, fibromyalgia, or even cancer. Another example could be
an inability to speak about your emotions, not feeling heard, or your
voice doesn't matter affecting the thyroid, resulting in a slow
functioning thyroid, slow metabolism and weight gain.<br />
<em>Inherited negative emotions from prior generations:</em><br />
Bert
Hellinger's Family Systems Oriented Psychotherapy and advanced APN are
very effective tools in dealing with these types of issues. The common
dynamics that can affect the person from prior generations are as
described in Dr. Klinghardt Systemic Energy Psychology manual:<br />
1. "I follow you." E.g. a mother dies at childbirth at age 22. The child lives. When the child turns 22, she commits suicide.<br />
2.
"I do it for you." E.g. a father is unhappy. He considers (unknown to
anyone else) to leave the family. His 4 year old daughter develops
cancer and does it for him.<br />
3. "I am like you." E.g. in a specific family, over generations, men around the age 35 are involved in a huge business failure.<br />
4.
"I take it from you." E.g. the client's father was chronically very
angry at his wife. The daughter carries the anger for him (displacement
of subject) and projects it onto her husband (displacement of object).<br />
5.
"I want to be with you." E.g. a daughter was never held lovingly by her
father. Her whole life becomes an attempt to finally be held by a man.
It will always fail because of displacement of object. It can be
completed through APN.<br />
6. Atonement for personal or taken on
guilt. E.g. A newborn loses his mother at birth. He will often live as
he does not deserve to be here.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Soft tissue disorders are a common complaint in a
rheumatologist's office. The term soft tissue disorder encompasses
conditions such as tendinopathy, bursitis, fibromyalgia, muscle
disorders, and ligament strain.<br />
This article will focus on Achilles tendonopathy, better known as Achilles tendonitis.<br />
The most common cause of pain in the back of the ankle is Achilles tendon dysfunction.<br />
The
Achilles tendon consists of the continuation of two calf muscle, the
gastrocnemius and the soleus which unite to form a common tendon that
inserts into the back of the calcaneus (heel bone).<br />
The blood
supply for this tendon comes from arteries of the calcaneus as well as
arteries descending down from the two muscles described above.<br />
The
major problem is that the blood supply is not complete leaving what is
called an "avascular zone" or "watershed zone" where blood supply to the
tendon is absent. This avascular zone extends from about two to six
centimeters above the Achilles insertion at the calcaneus.<br />
This avascular zone increases the likelihood of injury in this area.<br />
There
are two types of Achilles tendonitis. One is insertional where the
Achilles tendon attaches at the calcaneus. The other is non-insertional
and occurs in the avascular zone.<br />
Insertional Achilles tendonitis
occurs at the site of insertion of the Achilles and is associated with
obesity, female gender, and age. Tenderness and swelling is noted and
bursitis can also be apparent.<br />
Non-insertional Achilles tendonitis
is best called Achilles tendinopathy. Why? Sections of an affected
tendon seen under a microscope show degeneration of tendon fibers due to
repetitive microtrauma. They reveal very little inflammation. The
suffix "itis" means inflammation. The suffix "opathy" implies
degeneration.<br />
his picture is often seen in male athletes,
particularly runners, who report a sudden change in their workout
regimen. There can be a small amount of inflammation seen in what is
called the peritenon, the surface of the tendon. However, inflammation
is minimal compared with tendon fiber degeneration.<br />
The tendon is tender and swollen on examination.<br />
The diagnosis is suspected clinically but can be confirmed by both magnetic resonance imaging as well as diagnostic ultrasound.<br />
Treatment of both types of Achilles tendon problems starts with trying to reduce inflammation and pain.<br />
Therapeutic
options include ice, heel lifts, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
and reduction of activity on a temporary basis. Steroid injections
should not be given since these increase the likelihood of tendon
rupture. Severe cases can be treated with 4-6 weeks immobilization in a
walking Achilles boot.<br />
Physical therapy and eccentric tendon
stretching exercises can be quite helpful. One new therapy that has some
proponents is low energy shock wave therapy.<br />
Controversy
surrounds the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP). Several randomized
controlled studies have come up with conflicting results. These results
may be explained on the basis of study design as well as technique. For
example one study compared tenotomy (peppering the tendon with a needle)
versus PRP.<br />
It is accepted that tenotomy works so comparing a
treatment that works and then saying PRP doesn't work any better than
tenotomy alone is "gaming" the study.<br />
In addition, the platelet concentrate should be high quality. Care should be taken to avoid premature platelet activation.<br />
In our hands using ultrasound needle guidance with tenotomy and PRP, Achilles tendinopathy has responded very well.<br />
Surgery is rarely indicated unless the tendon has ruptures.<br />

<div id="article-content">
The prevalence of substance abuse treatment facilities in our
nation is indicative of the broadening swath of addictive disease that
has become widespread over the last few decades. There are so many
people with serious illnesses that aren't receiving treatment for their
addictions, it's nearly verging on epidemic status. It takes a
courageous person to find a substance abuse treatment facility or
hospital that can accommodate his or her specific needs. Many religious
organizations and charity facilities offer a stepping stone of sorts to
allow people to step into a potential healing environment. These are
often subsidized by municipal programs or federal programs that are
still fighting the difficult war on drugs that began many decades ago.
Drug and alcohol usage is a part of our social fabric, and it's not
going anywhere. The important thing is to recognize the symptoms and
evaluate what it means to be an addict or alcoholic.<br />
With the
onslaught of synthetic narcotics flooding the streets, many people don't
realize that the drugs of the past are not the same as they used to be.
Many illegal drugs are all available in a prescription pill form. The
dangers that exist with this kind of pill-popping phenomenon are such
that these drugs can be offered to a demanding public in a manner that
amplifies addiction. If people can just pop a pill in their mouths to
get their fix, and these pills are easily transportable, the black
market drug trade has become as efficient as your local drug store. A
forward-thinking, imaginative substance abuse treatment center will
address this kind of powerful magnetism and diabolical trend with
state-of-the-art methods of diagnosis and therapy.<br />
There's no easy
way out of it, that's for sure. The same is true with alcohol
addiction, as the social norms for binge drinking and party lifestyles
have changed substantially since days gone by. With any substance abuse
treatment group, they attempt to quantify the symptoms and actively
engage with the underlying issues that are causing the illness. What it
takes is a focused therapy professional and a courageous support group
that can genuinely embrace the individual and advance his or her healing
process. Easier said than done, to be sure.<br />
If you know someone
with an addictive problem, unless the problem has become detrimental to
their health or others, it's often best to allow the addiction to find
its course. Therapists will tell you that addicts and alcoholics cannot
be helped unless they're ready to be helped. Contact a local religious
organization and let the professionals guide you through the process for
intervention. Once the path has been lit, the journey can begin toward
healing and salvation. One step at a time is the way to your goal and a
healthy life, regardless of the problem. With a little help, any
obstacle can be overcome.<br />

<div id="article-content">
As I mention in four my articles in EzineArticles.Com that energy
resulted from dragon meditation is useful for healing process as main
healing approach and/or alternative healing process. However, not all my
articles descript about how to heal some body with DM energy. If you
have conducting dragon meditation (may be another meditation techniques
too), then you will have and feel energy in your body like
magnetization. This energy can use to heal other peoples like your
couple, your family, children, friend, neighbors etc. This article
divide into three section: what is DM energy?, Healing with DM energy
and Healing with massage.<br />
What is DM Energy?<br />
Simply, energy
from meditation is energy appear from meditation activity. Then, DM
energy is energy appear or resulted from dragon meditation activity.
Type of DM energy usually different with other meditation approach and
very different too if we compare with energy resulted from breathing
sport. DM energy is very smooth but powerful. More high your ethics and
religion then more high too your DM energy. You can feel this energy
like magnet wave in your both palm hand. This is can feel when you do DM
or not conducting DM. In every activity of your life, you can feel
energy in your hand.<br />
When you are in master levels your can feel
energy in all of your body. It is like shield and radiate from all side
of your body. This energy can help you in various activities like
healing process, protection your self when in dangerous condition and
sport like jogging and run. When conducting DM, energy can feel appear
from your hand, head, and breast and from earth. Keep feel it and it
will bigger and bigger of your energy.<br />
Healing with DM Energy<br />
After
you get and have DM energy, now you can use it for healing other
peoples. However, keep in your mind. This is not magic that can heal
your patient in a second. This is not miracle happened with Jesus. You
should be patient and must be conduct it many times in healing process.
There are may be some illness can heal in fast time like in case of
light illness. For example your headache caused by very tired or
another cause. For hard illness, it will need more time and very patient
in healing process with DM energy.<br />
What illness can heal with DM
energy? Answer: every illness can heal with DM energy including
leukemia. To conduct it below some step you must be do:<br />
1. Pray based on your way together with your patient.<br />
2. Your patient take good position relaxes and calm. You patient can sit down or sleeping down in the bed or floor.<br />
3. Say patient to arrange breath and feel illness. Patient can close eyes or not.<br />
4. Take your position, which make you enjoy and relax.<br />
5.
Your one hand to patient especially on area where patient feel sick and
other hand in free position or face to earth but not touch earth.<br />
6.
Feel you energy come into the patient and feel the patient with your
energy. Your energy will distribute from your hand to patient and keep
feel it.<br />
7. Your energy like laser radiation or X-ray to heal
illness of your patient. Feel your energy remove the illness area as
bulldozer removes something.<br />
8. Do it for many time as you do that. You can do in 15 minutes, 30 minutes or more based on your feel and your capability.<br />
9. Do like that, for many times in other day until your patient feels better.<br />
Healing with Massage<br />
Beside
DM energy radiation technique, other technique in healing people with
DM energy is using massage approach. When you massage your patient, you
can radiate your energy to all body of your patient. Reflection massage
is very useful for application DM energy in healing process. Our
experience, this is very useful to make fast healing process the
patient. Therefore, you can two approaches here: DM energy radiation and
massage/reflection therapy with DM energy support. For more

<div id="article-content">
Depression has been around probably as long as man has been. It
was known as melancholia or 'black bile'. A chemical imbalance of
transmitters in the brain was thought to be the cause of most Depressive
Disorders. Depression continues to plague people and new and more
effective treatments are becoming available all the time. We will take a
look at just a few of the historical treatments of Depression.<br />
During
the 1950's, studies found that the presence of Risperine isoiazed could
result in changing the monomine neurotransmitter levels and that they
had an effect on systems of depression. It was also considered that
there might be other causes of Depression.<br />
The suspected causes
included the belief that Depression was hereditary. Also, it was
believed that both the environment and biology may be responsible for
Depression.
<br />Other causes of Depression that were considered were medical
conditions, diet deficiencies, and the abuse of alcohol and other drugs.<br />
Historical
treatments of Depression offered only two options: antidepressants and
ECT - Electroconvulsive Therapy also known as shock treatments. A
patient is given a general anesthetic and a muscle relaxant. Electrodes
are placed on the scalp and controlled electrical pulses are delivered
which initiate a seizure in the brain. The patient's muscles are relaxed
and there is usually only a slight movement in the hands and feet.
After a few minutes, the patient awakes and remembers nothing about the
procedure or the events surrounding it. Often, the patient is confused
after the procedure is done.<br />
Antidepressants addressed the
chemical imbalance of the brain. They were effective for most people.
The side effects from antidepressants were serious, causing all kinds of
side effects - even death. Many antidepressants left patients lethargic
and had sedative effects.<br />
A treatment that is not historic, but
has the potential of making history is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
or TMS. This treatment involves a doctor using a hand-held magnetized
coil that is electrically charged. The coil is passed over the patient's
scalp and the pulse penetrates the skull and stimulates the brain. This
procedure is currently experimental. There is potential for this
procedure to become extremely precise and be able to target very exact
parts of the brain for treatment.<br />
Historical Treatments of
Depression are being updated and replaced by current research that is
being done. This is probably the best time for those suffering with any
form of depression because of the continuous advances being made.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Depression can sometimes be called the invisible illness. The
reason for this is because symptoms, especially in fairly mild cases of
Depression could be missed altogether but they could lead to a mistaken
diagnosis. There are various treatments available to treat Depression.
Our purpose is to discuss Depression and vitamin supplements.<br />
<b>Depression Symptoms</b><br />
In
mild cases there is an air of sadness about you. You may have some
fatigue but you are still able to function appropriately. In moderate to
severe cases the depth of sadness is much greater. You may experience
greater fatigue, lose interest in activities you once enjoyed, and have
greater difficulty in daily functioning. Sleep and your appetite may
change. You may begin to shy away from family and friends and have
employment problems.<br />
<b>Depression Treatments</b><br />
Medical
procedures such as Electroconvulsive Therapy, Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation, and Vagal Nerve Stimulation are used primarily in severe
cases. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an experimental procedure
that has the potential to be a very precise treatment for brain issues.<br />
Anti-depressants
are drugs that are prescribed to balance chemicals in the brain or to
allow the chemicals already present to work more efficiently. They are
also used to help you control mood swings. The unfortunate thing about
them though, is that they have some very serious side effects connected
to them. Some of the milder side effects are that they may make you
dizzy or nauseous. They could also inhibit your sex drive. The most
serious side effects are thoughts and/or attempts of suicide.<br />
Herbal
Supplements are a group of herbs that are known to positively affect
your mood are blended in a formula with vitamins, minerals, and other
nutritional substances. Herbal supplements are very effective and have
far fewer if any side effects. The highest quality supplements are put
through a lot of testing including the interactions of the ingredients,
how the body metabolizes them at the molecular level and they should be
made to pharmaceutical grade.<br />
<b>Depression and vitamin supplements</b><br />
Vitamins
are used to treat Depression particularly B vitamins. Riboflavin,
Thiamine, and Biotin are used in supplements. Vitamins are an integral
part of good health. They may however, have added benefits as in
treating Depression. They are most often found in supplements with other
nutritional agents.<br />
<b>Conclusion</b><br />
As difficult as it
may be to treat your Depression there are treatment options including
medical procedures that are usually used only in severe cases. Vitamins,
especially some of the B vitamins can also treat Depression. They work
best in supplemental forms.<br />

<div id="article-content">
With the many drugs used today to treat arthritis pain the
numerous alternative treatments can be overlooked. Despite this,
arthritis sufferers can gain good benefits from alternative and natural
approaches, especially when they are combined with more traditional
medical treatments.<br />
Alternative approaches are inexpensive and
easy accessible, with the treatment available without a prescription.
They are also non-addictive and rarely have any major side effects.<br />
<b>The Alternative Approaches to Arthritis Pain Relief</b><br />
Below you will find some natural alternatives to treat arthritis pain.<br />
*
Arthritis sufferers can wear magnets close to their body to relieve
their arthritis pain. This has been a therapy that was first used in
China thousands of years ago. Such magnets can come in the form of
bracelets or necklaces.<br />
* Aromatherapy can improve mood and uses essential oils which are massaged into the joints into the body or inhaled as steam.<br />
*
A natural approach is to consume herbs with anti-inflammatory
properties and pain relieving effects to your meals or through capsules.
You can find such herbs at your local health food store.<br />
* Emu
oil has been used by Aborigines in Australia for centuries for its
anti-inflammatory properties and its pain relieving effects. Recent
research has shown excellent results in reducing arthritis pain.<br />
*
Any form of exercise that gets you moving and is gentle on your joints
will improve your strength and range of movement, helping you relieve
your arthritis pain.<br />
* Somantic body work such as Feldenkrais and
the Alexander Technique will help you to readjust your body and learn to
move without pain.<br />
* Glucosamine has been shown to repair cartilage and lubricate the joints, ensuring easier and pain free movement.<br />
<b>Research Your Preferred Option</b><br />
When
using alternative supplements be careful that they won't interact with
any medication that you are taking. If in doubt, talk to your doctor
about the fact you are thinking of using an alternative treatment and
how that may effect your current treatment.<br />

<div id="article-content">
A variety of noninvasive and non-pharmaceutical strategies can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine pain.<br />
<b>Vision correction</b><br />
Eyestrain
is a well-known trigger for migraines. If you haven't visited an
optometrist or ophthalmologist recently, make an appointment to have
your eyes checked and your prescription updated for your eyeglasses or
contact lenses.<br />
<b>Dental devices</b><br />
A relatively common
cause of migraine headaches is temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
dysfunction. The temporomandibular joint is where the lower jaw joins
the rest of the skull. If you place a finger just in front of your ear
and open and close your mouth, you can feel the end of the mandible
(jaw) moving under the skin.<br />
Misalignment in this joint is very
common and can lead to migraines. In addition to headaches, you might
experience popping or stiffness as you open and shut your mouth,
especially while you're eating. Misalignment can result from dental
work that creates imbalance in your bite, grinding your teeth in your
sleep (known as bruxism), and stress that leads to clenching the muscles
of the jaw.<br />
TMJ dysfunction can be treated in a variety of ways:
stretching and massage, applying heat or cold, anti-inflammatory
medications, and stress management techniques. A dental evaluation for
TMJ function is very important, since a dentist can prescribe a bite
plate to realign your jaw or a night guard to prevent bruxism.<br />
Another
dental device is fitted just over the front teeth, unlike bite plates
and night guards. Called the nociceptive trigeminal inhibitor (NTI), it
causes the front teeth (incisors) to be in constant contact, which
prevents any other teeth from touching.<br />
The theory behind the NTI
is that people with migraines have hyperactive trigeminal nerves. These
nerves, one on either side of the head, supply the jaw muscles, and, in
people with migraines, their hyperactivity results in jaw clenching,
especially at night. The resulting muscle tension and pain can then
trigger migraines. The NTI prevents contact between teeth the back of
the jaw, which completely prevents clenching or bruxism. You can try
this for yourself by touching your front teeth together; it's physically
impossible to clench your jaw at the same time. The NTI is FDA-approved
for the prevention of migraines.<br />
<b>Biofeedback</b><br />
This
strategy makes use of the mind-body connection, teaching you to take
conscious control of bodily functions that have seemed to be beyond your
influence. Biofeedback is an established therapy for many medical
conditions, and training is commonly available through hospitals,
medical centers, and clinics.<br />
In biofeedback training sessions for
migraine headaches, a technician attaches a sensor to your skin that
measures one or more of several conditions: muscle activity, skin
temperature, and the continual pressure within blood vessels. These
measurements are fed back to you as information in the form of a beep or
a flashing light.<br />
During training sessions, you'll learn how
these measures change under different conditions. For instance, when
you're startled (a form of stress), your blood vessels contract, skin
temperature drops, and muscles tense. The next step is to learn specific
techniques to counteract the tension, for instance, so that you gain
conscious control over some of the triggers that can cause migraines.<br />
Biofeedback
sensors can be purchased online. However, working with a trainer
greatly increases the effectiveness of biofeedback. This technique has
been proven effective in reducing the frequency of migraine attacks.<br />
<b>Transcranial magnetic stimulation</b><br />
TMS
is a technique that uses a specialized electromagnet placed on the
scalp that emits short magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain. A small
study by Ohio State University researchers in 2006 seemed to show that
TMS reduced the symptoms of migraine. However, other researchers have
not duplicated the results of this study. Until they do, TMS should be
considered to be of questionable value in treating migraines.<br />

<div id="article-content">
There are so many methods to stop smoking, some of them
expensive. Which is really the best for you? Find out more in this
article.<br />
If you're reading this article then I would say that you
are approaching your quitting in a logical manner. You want to know the
methods to stop smoking and figure out which is the best for you. Let's
do a quick run through of the most common methods.<br />
<strong>Willpower</strong><br />
Willpower
is where most smokers start their quitting "career". After all, it's
free and doesn't cost you anything! How long have you lasted then? I
know that when I was a smoker, I could barely last a day or two without
cigarettes. I needed them as badly as I needed food, probably more so.<br />
The
bad news, although you probably knew it anyway, is that hardly anyone
quits in the long term (talking years rather than days) using willpower
alone. If we're talking about not smoking for the rest of their life and
never having a relapse then you're looking at around a 1% success rate.
Pretty poor, really.<br />
<strong>Hypnosis</strong><br />
More and
more people are turning to hypnosis to cure their smoking addiction.
Turn the clock back 20 years and it was not very common. Most people did
not trust anyone with "their minds". These days, the profession has a
lot more credibility and more and more people are using hypnosis.<br />
Not
just that, but thanks to the internet, you can even take your hypnosis
sessions in the comfort of your own home. Just surf for one of the many
hypnosis sites, use your credit card and within a minute you can be
listening to an mp3 hypnosis session. However, ask any hypnotist and
they will tell you that, ideally, they need to be able to read your
response and adjust the session accordingly.<br />
Does it work? Sadly
no. I never took hypnosis myself but the studies say that it does not.
For instance, The Cochrane Collaboration (an international
not-for-profit organization) did a study into this and could not prove
that hypnosis had a greater effect on 6 month quit rates than any other
or no treatment. If I were you, I'd keep those hundreds of dollars that
it would cost you and buy your family some presents instead!<br />
<strong>Stop Smoking Magnets</strong><br />
Magnets
are a member of the methods to stop smoking as lasers, acupuncture and
acupressure. Basically, you wear them on the ear and they are supposed
to reduce cravings for cigarettes so that you can more easily quit. The
idea is one of Eastern philosophy, being that acupressure points are
stimulated to produce endorphins and these are what make you feel more
calm and have less cravings.<br />
The verdict? Although I'm sure that
your local practitioner of Eastern medicine will disagree with me, the
facts are that this is yet another method which might work for a few
days but does not work in the long term.<br />
<strong>What Does Work?</strong><br />
Used
alone, most of these methods to stop smoking are pretty much useless.
However, using many of these therapies together and combining with other
drugs such as anti-depressants, as well as making sure you have a good
support structure will increase your chances of quitting. There are also
some other methods that are used by a large minority that claim to
address the underlying addiction rather than just the symptoms
(cravings) like most other cures.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Meningiomas are brain tumors that develop in the small membranes
or meninges that essentially cover and protect the brain as well as the
spinal cord. Meningioma brain tumors normally grow at a slow pace and
won't affect the tissue surrounding the brain tumor.<br />
In most cases
the meningioma brain tumor is benign (non-cancerous) and will not
spread to other parts of the body or nervous system. However, there are
very rare cases of malignant meningiomas that are more aggressive.<br />
When a neurologist has actually diagnosed an individual as having this type of <i>brain tumor</i>
the person should find out as many facts as possible. Depending on the
symptoms, size and location, the neurologist will determine the type of
treatment that best suits the individual circumstance. Although
Meningioma brain tumors can affect people of all ages, studies have
shown that they are most common in women and are most likely to be found
in people that are between the ages of forty and sixty years of age.
Some of the possible meningioma symptoms are:-<br />
<ul>
<li>Vision Blurring
</li>
<li>Memory blocks
</li>
<li>Seizures
</li>
<li>Vomiting
</li>
<li>Persistent or severe headaches that occur frequently
</li>
<li>Extreme feeling of pressure felt on the inside of the skull
</li>
<li>Blind spots at the back of the eye</li>
</ul>
Keep in mind these are only a few of the possible symptoms; a
physician can do several test to evaluate the situation and see if a
meningioma is in fact the cause of these problems. Tests such as mental
function and vision testing may be carried out but the most conclusive
test in the determination of a diagnosis of a brain tumor is an MRI scan
of the brain. (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) The MRI scan uses magnetic
and radio waves, meaning that there is no exposure to X-Rays or any
other damaging forms of radiation. During the MRI test a contrast dye
may be administered through your system to make the images clearer.For
medium to large meningioma brain tumors your neurologist and physician
will most likely recommend surgery to remove the brain tumor if it is in
an accessible location. This is the most successful and primarily
effective way to remove the meningioma. In some patients, if full
removal is not possible, recurring meningiomas might require more
treatment that would include radiation therapy.<br />
The rate of
successfully treating and removing this type of brain tumor is very
high. For more information as well as details and more symptom
information, there are several web sites via the Internet that are
associated with meningiomas. Some of the web sites refer to the
treatments and diagnosis of the brain tumor and may be a little daunting
if you come across one that is written specifically for the medical
profession. There are support groups and survivor stories that will be
very useful to the non-medical profession and these offer encouragement,
resources and further fact sheets for the recently diagnosed.<br />
Having
a meningioma brain tumor is certainly life threatening if not treated.
Listen to what your body is telling you. If you are experiencing any
strange or unusual symptoms that you are uncomfortable about, a visit to
your physician is always the best remedy.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Lighting affects health. Studies show that full spectrum natural
lighting is the best for health and well-being. Here are the details of
some of the most commonly asked questions related to electric lighting
and human health.<br />
Photobiology is the scientific study of the
effect of light on the human body. One of the most popular studies in
recent years has focused on using electric light to treat Seasonal
Affective Disorder, or SAD. SAD is a winter depression caused by less
exposure to light because of the shorter winter days. Scientists
discovered that light stimulates the body to suppress the release of
depression-causing hormones and enzymes. Most treatments use ordinary
fluorescent lighting, though full spectrum or natural light lamps are
presently recommended. Phototherapy is also commonly used to treat
jaundiced infants. Light also affects our biological rhythms. Light
therapy is also being used to help shift workers adjust to their new
sleep patterns or to help long distance travelers adjust to jet lag.<br />
Electromagnetic
Field Radiation or EMF is increasingly in the news because of theories
it can cause health problems. Does lighting generate dangerous EM? Most
publicized cases cite the common 60Hz magnetic field. As you know, most
household appliances, office equipment and lighting use this frequency.
The distance between a worker and the magnetic field is a significant
parameter. Most are not very close to lights since the lights are in the
ceiling.<br />
The truth is that low level signals of ultrasound and
radio waves emit from lighting and the FCC limits exposure to these
frequencies in the case of electronic ballasts. Ordinary personal
computers emit more radio waves than lighting. A minuscule amount of
radioactive krypton or promethium may be present in some fluorescent
lamps. However, the most extreme case of exposure would produce a
thousand times less exposure than we all receive from background
radiation.<br />
Light flicker, such as the flicker of a strobe light,
can cause headaches. The light produced by both fluorescent and HID
lamps does flicker, but to a much lesser degree than a strobe light. The
flicker's frequency is so high, that most individuals are not affected.
However, some people complain of headaches, fatigue and dizziness.
Studies related to autism and some other kinds of neurological disorders
have revealed connections to this kind of flickering effect. For this
reason, some studies are advocating the use of natural full spectrum
lighting for schools where autistic students are in attendance.<br />
Natural
full spectrum lamps are available on the market and are manufactured by
Ott-Lite and other companies. Whatever the lighting used in the home,
it is important to utilize the results of these studies to ensure
optimum health.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Truly, back pain also known dorsalgia, is pain felt in the back
that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other
structures in the spine. Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent
complaints. It can be a sign of a serious medical problem, although this
is not most frequently the underlying cause. Typical warning signs of a
potentially life threatening problem are bowel or bladder incontinence
or progressive weakness in the legs. The back pain that occurs after a
trauma, such as a car accident or fall may indicate a bone fracture or
other injury. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp
pain. Back pain is called chronic if it lasts for more than three
months.<br />
Pain<br />
However, pain may have a sudden onset or can be
a chronic pain, it can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place
or radiate to other areas. The pain may be felt in the neck and might
radiate into the arm and hand, in the upper back, or in the low back and
might radiate into the leg or foot and may include symptoms other than
pain, such as weakness, numbness or tingling. Nevertheless, a few
observational studies suggest that two conditions to which back pain is
often attributed, lumbar disc herniation and degenerative disc disease
may not be more prevalent among those in pain than among the general
population and that the mechanisms by which these conditions might cause
pain are not known.<br />
Spine<br />
Meanwhile, the spine is a complex
interconnecting network of nerves, joints, muscles, tendons and
ligaments and all are capable of producing pain. Large nerves that
originate in the spine and go to the legs and arms can make pain radiate
to the extremities. The relationship between the magnetic resonance
imaging appearance of the lumbar spine and low back pain, age and
occupation in males. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine in
people without back pain. However, arthritis can affect any joint in the
body, including the small joints of the spine. Arthritis of the spine
can cause back pain with movement. If the spine becomes unstable enough,
back pain can become a problem.<br />
Treatment<br />
However,
treatment of acute back pain is short term and usually successful.
Treatment is then based on avoiding postures or movements that aggravate
symptoms, as well as performing or adhering to postures to assist in
symptom reduction. Once you have a diagnosis for your back pain or
radiating leg pain, you should carefully review your treatment options.
Not all treatments work for all conditions or for all individuals with
the same condition and many find that they need to try several treatment
options to determine what works best for them. The present stage of the
condition acute or chronic is also a determining factor in the choice
of treatment.<br />
Generally, some form of consistent stretching and
exercise is believed to be an essential component of most back treatment
programs. The treatments with uncertain or doubtful benefit Injections,
such as epidural steroid injections and facet joint injections may be
effective when the cause of the pain is accurately localized to
particular sites. The treatment of acute low back pain is bed rest,
exercises, or ordinary activity. This is important to know because
different treatments work better for each type of pain. With physical
therapy, follow up treatment and prevention practices, these patients
typically return to full functionality in a few weeks. Though, they may
occasionally reinjure themselves and have to return for a short course
of treatment.<br />
Acupressure is closely related to acupuncture but
without the needles. The idea of acupressure is to put pressure on
specific points in the body, using only hands and fingers to restore
balance and thus relieve pain. Herbs have been used to relieve pain for
thousands of years. Todays pain relieving medications are mostly
synthetic reproductions of these long used and natural herbs. The main
difference is that the synthetic reproductions often produce a lot of
side effects but the natural herbs they are based upon do not.
Chiropractors have been manipulating spines for many years. Get
knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.
Chiropractic medicine as we recognize it today was not actually
established until 1895. The AMA was established in 1847, so they do have
a jump on chiropractors as such.<br />
Back pain is one of the most
common medical problems, affecting 10 out of 13 people at some point
during their lives. No conclusions can be drawn about the use of cold
for lower back pain. Bed rest is rarely recommended as it can exacerbate
symptoms and when necessary is usually limited to one or two days.
Chronic back pain tends to last a long time and is not relieved by
standard types of medical management. However, acute back pain is
commonly described as a very sharp pain or a dull ache, usually felt
deep in the lower part of the back and can be more severe in one area,
such as the right side, left side, center, or the lower part of the
back.<br />

<div id="article-content">
There is so much going on in the world today that can throw
anybody off their center. Being able to keep your attention on
accomplishing goals, feeling in control of your life, your emotions,
your future, is one of the greatest challenges we face. To get your
hands back on the steering wheel, you are going to need some planned out
program to help you stay on your game. And for those who are embarking
on adopting a more positive attitude, here are some tried and true
strategies for achieving your goal.<br />
1) <u><em><strong>Divert your thoughts</strong></em></u>.
Find something humorous, passionate, or interesting and absorbing to
think about. When confronted with negative feelings or situations,
taking a breather from that reality is the fastest way to convert the
vibes around you. Thought is creative, so whatever our thoughts are
focused on is attracted to us. Go play with your dog, see a funny movie.
Treat yourself to something nice. Listen to music that moves you.
Changing what we're doing, changes what we're thinking about, changes
the energy around us.<br />
2) <u><em><strong>Educate yourself</strong></em></u>.
Take classes. Go listen to people who are productive and positive.
Being in the energy of a motivating force, often can be just the
catalyst necessary to shift our energy.<br />
3) <u><em><strong>Cleanse the mind and body.</strong></em></u>
There are several ways to accomplish this. Our body and minds are
interconnected. What effects one, has impact on the other. If the body
is unhealthy, the mind will surely suffer, as the body is the
environment it creates from. If the mind is unhealthy, it's negativity
can pollute the body with the different substances it secretes into the
bloodstream. There are many cures for working with our negative thoughts
and many books written on the subject. I believe in the power of
forgiveness as the most comprehensive approach to cleansing negative
thinking. The Ancient Hawaiian Therapy, Ho'oponopono, is one of the
easiest practices I've come across. It involves a bit of study to
understand the philosophy. Then simple statements are said daily which,
when used in negative situations, have the power to cleanse. As for the
body, a complete nutritional cleanse is the way to support the body
while allowing it to detox. With the right products and guidance, this
program can change the inner chemistry of the body as well as assist in
reducing the acidity in the system, bringing the body to a greater level
of alkalization. An alkalized body, is a happy body.<br />
4)<u><em><strong> Use a Ritual everyday.</strong></em></u>
This reminds you to stay on course. Whether it's reading from an
inspirational book, meditating, or stating affirmations constant
repetition is the way we learn and can retrain our thoughts. Upon waking
you can sit quietly and just imagine your day as you would like it.
Forgetting about reality as you know it, and just being in the creative
thought process of paving the way of your day. This technique is known
as Pre-Paving. Never underestimate the power of imagination!<br />
5) <u><em><strong>Stay away from negative people and situations. </strong></em></u>While
this sometimes can't be avoided, when you are in those environments,
relying on some of the other tips to stay positive come into play. If
you're concerned about losing your current friends, the good news is
that once you have secured a habit of thinking positive, that will
become your point of attraction. Simply put, that means that the energy
around you will be attracting similar vibrations. It's kind of like a
tuning fork. Once you send out its frequency, corresponding frequencies
magnetize to it. You might meet new people who are like lost friends, or
will surely feel that way. Things will start to change around you for
the better. It's sure!<br />
6) <u><em><strong>Get into a good plan of eating.</strong></em></u>
Food is the most powerful drug you put in your body. The effects of
poor eating do more than just increase your waistline. Food can
literally change the bodies chemistry to such an extent that it can sour
you from within. Aside from all the harmful effects on the physical
body, the mental outlook is severely compromised. Think about some of
the side effects of foods you eat or drinks you consume. Remember the
awful feeling you had inside as a result? That feeling contributes to so
many problems for the brain to function in a healthy manner. Giving the
body a weekly cleanse day is an excellent way to release impurities
lodged in the system. Studies show that toxins can remain in the body
for years. Cleansing is like giving your body/mind an oil change. You'll
feel renewed!<br />
7) <u><em><strong>Exercise</strong></em></u>. Get
your body moving. Be outside where you can be in touch with nature. A
natural environment has a subliminal impact as well as an obvious one of
centering the spirit. When you exercise, the hormones secreted promote
healthy brain function.<br />
There is one thing you can do that takes
almost no effort on your part, but will bring about an immediate
improved outlook. SMILE. A smile produces endorphins that are feel good
juices running through the body. Set up a plan for to keep your Spirits
UP. It may take a moment to get the routine to sink in, but once it
does, you're gonna be a powerful magnet to all good things.<br />

<b>Magnetic therapy Bracelet</b></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226334952524791125.post-6296728638139872052012-04-03T00:22:00.003+08:002012-04-03T00:22:55.600+08:00The Pros and Cons of Hip Replacements<div id="article-body">
<div id="article-content">
Following on from last week's letter about the best ways to
prevent and treat the pain and symptoms of arthritis, I've received a
number of emails from people worried about the effectiveness and
problems connected with hip replacement surgery.<br />
So, let's start
with the facts: There are approximately 65,000 hip operations in the
U.K. every year, all of which carry certain risks.<br />
In the past, it
was difficult for those under 60 to receive a new hip as the lifespan
of the replacement was only 10 to 15 years which meant there was the
probability of replacements in the future.<br />
Thankfully, new
techniques and materials can now provide a lifelong expectancy for the
new hip. Added to that there are also many new preventative treatments
used to reduce the risks of post-operative problems.<br />
Blood clots
and infections are the most common post-operative problems. These are
normally treatable, but you should discuss all the potential problems
that could arise with your surgeon.<br />
<b>You should be aware that:</b><br />
According to NHS Direct, post operative infections can be as high as 10%.<br />
2.
A recent study in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery found that
blood clotting statistics after hip and knee replacement surgery were as
follows:<br />
O.25% suffered pulmonary embolism (obstruction of an artery by a clot of blood or an air bubble).
<br />O.4% suffered painful symptoms of deep vein thrombosis
<br />5.2 % suffered painless symptoms of deep vein thrombosis<br />
*Also
you must remember that all forms of hip replacement usually require a
period of 18 to 24 months for the new hip to fully knit and this usually
causes varying degrees of pain and discomfort during that time<br />
<b>TYPES OF HIP REPLACEMENT:</b>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Plastic socket and metal ball - this method is now becoming out
dated because the plastic wears away over the years, leading to further
replacements every 10 to 15 years.</li>
<li>Metal on metal - The ball and socket are made from cobalt chrome and
all the evidence shows that there is no significant wear and tear over
time. Therefore, the new hip should last a lifetime. Some people have
expressed fears about cobalt/chrome ions being released into the body,
but as yet there is no evidence to support that.</li>
<li>Ceramic on ceramic (aluminum oxide) - again, this will last a
lifetime and has even less wear and tear than metal and has a minuscule
risk of shattering. However, some experts believe that this is the best
material for younger, more active patients.</li>
<li>Hip resurfacing - Lasts for life, with no drilling into the femur
required and it preserves the healthy bone. The new section is made from
carbon hardened steel. Steve Backley, the Olympic javelin champion, had
this procedure in 2005 and stated that it has allowed him to return to
full and normal pain-free mobility.</li>
<li>Magnetic Hip - A revolutionary new technique containing a magnet
that helps the prosthetic last three times as long. It's currently
undergoing laboratory testing and should start clinical trials on NHS
patients within three years.</li>
</ul>
Once again, it is vitally important that you speak to your surgeon about all the options available.<br />
If
you are not completely satisfied with your surgeon's answers, then
either insist on an official NHS printed list of possible risks, or
utilise your right to ask for a second opinion.<br />
Never forget you're the patient, its your body, its your life - don't be afraid to ask!<br />
Obviously,
as I've been saying all along, it's up to you to take care of your own
health, especially your joints. This is vitally important if you want to
ensure good health and mobility well into old.<br />
For those of you
that already feel the early onset of any arthritic hip problems, you
must consult your doctor immediately and be proactive in treating the
pain and dealing with lost tissue and grinding joints.<br />
If you are
middle aged , and especially if you have suffered from any sporting
injuries or endured an arduous working life, you really must consider
taking action now to stave off any joint problems, especially with your
hips.<br />
<b>TOP TIPS FOR HIPS:</b>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Weight loss - I know its obvious, but relieving the stress on the joints is vital to retaining healthy tissue around the joint.</li>
<li>Water exercise - The buoyancy of the water allows for comfortable movement and gentle exercise for the hip area.</li>
<li>Hydrotherapy - A good physiotherapist can suggest a regime of warm
water therapy that will alleviate pain and stress on the joint.</li>
<li>Strengthening exercises - Again a good physiotherapist can help you
to build up the muscles around the affected joint. This will help you
with your posture and mobility.</li>
<li>Artrosilium - Once again I would refer you to the all natural
product Artrosilium that I mentioned here last week- its proven to help
relieve the pain and even help rebuild lost tissue (and with no side
effects!)
</li>
<li>I would recommend the regular application of Artrosilium combined with a daily dose of Arthritis Power Formula. </li>
</ul>
Together they provide a potent arthritis busting team that is completely natural and safe to take.<br />
Remember
that arthritis is a particularly cruel condition and can hit anybody at
anytime, irrespective of your past physical history - arthritis does
not discriminate!!!<br />

<b>Magnetic Therapy Bracelet</b></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226334952524791125.post-8700847677368296582012-04-03T00:21:00.003+08:002012-04-03T00:21:34.357+08:00Back Pain Not Helped by MRI Scanning<div id="article-body">
<div id="article-content">
BBC Health carries an article about a review of six trials
covering 1800 patients which concluded that MRI scanning does not help
in the management of normal low back pain and should be reserved for
specific conditions such as nerve root lesions, infections and tumours.
The outcome of low back pain is not improved by the use of scans and
there were no differences between the two groups, one group with typical
management and the other having an MRI scan at some stage. This was the
same for the early outcomes and for up to a year after the onset of
acute low back pain.<br />
Patient expectations are a very strong driver
of imaging for low back pain, either x-rays or magnetic resonance
imaging, and many patients ask their doctors and surgeons for this,
thinking it will indicate what is wrong with their backs. Scanning is
something you can do but studies indicate that MRI rarely shows up an
important finding in a person's back which was not already suspected.
Communicating with the patients about the treatment plan and answering
their questions is harder.<br />
The numbers of magnetic resonance
imaging scans has been steadily increasing, perhaps because it is a
relatively easy thing to request rather than taking the time to answer
awkward questions and correct the misconceptions of the patient. We
explain the findings and their meaning poorly in many ways and the scan
findings throw up many questions which are difficult to answer. Patient
expectations should be addressed.<br />
The history and examination of
the patient should point clearly towards whether the problem is
mechanical low back pain or whether there is a worrying element to the
presentation. Scanning should only be requested if there is a
significant positive reason for doing so, rather than just a lack of
imagination or an inability to manage the patient's condition.<br />
Patient
education is a vital part of the management of back pain, explaining
the reasons for pain, the reasons for not ordering a scan and the
treatment path to follow, with a trial of manual therapy, acupuncture
and a structured programme of exercise. A pain management programme may
be necessary to address all the aspects of having long term and
chronically disabling pain.<br />
Reassurance is not an effective way of
dealing with patients' health anxiety and MRI scanning has been shown
to be ineffective in accomplishing this goal. Abnormal findings are
found in the spines of people without pain symptoms so it is difficult
to decide which changes are relevant to the presenting symptoms and
which are just incidental. It is vital to avoid creating unhelpful
attitudes and images in the patients' minds about what is occurring
inside the spine. Sufficient time and communication skills are necessary
to achieve a good understanding.<br />
Explanations to patients are
fraught with difficulties and many fall into what I call concepts
without explanation, where the explanation is given to the patient with
little or no care or checking as to what they take away from it. If we
give them a concept to think about we have a responsibility to help them
understand and fit it in to their attitudes and beliefs about their
back pain in a realistic way. If we get this wrong by being careless
with our communication this can have important and negative
consequences.<br />
When we refer a patient for an MRI scan we should
give careful counselling as to the limits of the imaging or we will
store up disappointment for later. The scan should be small part of the
overall strategy for managing the pain and a surgical opinion should be
available for explanation, interpretation and a decision on operative
management. Patient expectations need to be carefully managed as to what
the scan might show and how the findings might be handled or when the
negative results come in there will be frustration and disappointment.<br />
Low
back pain management is complicated and need time and good
communication skills in the health professionals managing these types of
condition and many other pain conditions. MRI scanning can be very
useful in identifying disc prolapses, degenerate discs and infection or
tumour. For mechanical low back pain it has a very limited role.<br />

<div id="article-content">
What is the cause of ankle arthritis? When the joint that
connects the shin bone to the ankle bone gets worn, you may experience
arthritis. It can cause swelling and pain in your ankle.<br />
There can
be several causes for the condition. The most common reason that people
develop arthritis is due to a previous injury. For example, if you have
sprained, dislocated, or fractured your ankle in the past you may have
damaged the cartilage in it. A damaged cartilage can lead to arthritis.<br />
If
your injured ankle did not get the proper blood flow while it was
healing, your bone may have been damaged. This can also cause arthritis.
Infection can cause joint damage, and sometimes your genetic makeup can
also cause you to develop the condition.<br />
Too much weight on the
joints can cause the joints to wear out more quickly. If you are
overweight you are more likely to develop arthritis.<br />
How do you
know if you have ankle arthritis? Pain and swelling around the ankle
joint is common. The duration and the level of pain varies depending on
the individual. To be sure you have this condition you would really need
to undergo a thorough examination from a medical professional.<br />
There
are 3 types of arthritis: Osteoartritis, Rheumatoid and Post-Traumatic
Arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common and occurs from general
wear and tear over the years. It is common in people after they have
reached middle age. Ankle braces for ankle arthritis may help with the
pain from arthritis.<br />

<b>Magnetic Therapy Bracelet</b></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226334952524791125.post-76033335651467369292012-04-03T00:18:00.001+08:002012-04-03T00:18:17.951+08:00Find Some Back Pain Relief With Electronic Acupuncture<div id="article-body">
<div id="article-content">
Back pain is one of the leading complaints people bring to the
doctor. You could have simply strained your muscles working in the yard
or sprained your back with the latest football game. But accidents and
degenerative diseases also can cause back pain. While over the counter
and prescription medications may help, you can find additional back pain
relief with electronic acupuncture.<br />
<b>Defining Electronic Acupuncture </b><br />
Acupuncture
is now a proven complementary remedy for a variety of health problems.
This practise is based on the ancient Chinese medicine and the belief
that the body is divided into multiple pathways that channel energy
throughout it. When you get sick or feel pain, one or more of these
pathways become blocked, preventing energy from flowing freely. Unless
you can clear the energy blockage, you may end up suffering longer than
necessary with your pain or illness.<br />
Acupuncture practiced today
using traditional Chinese medicine involves the use of tiny stainless
steel needles placed all over the body in key spots called acupoints.
However, acupuncture sessions can be expensive over time plus some
people feel squeamish about all those needles. With an electronic
acupuncture device though, you can achieve similar results, particularly
for back pain. Using a wand to deliver electromagnetic impulses, you
can self-administer treatment simply by touching key back pain acupoints
mapped out on your left hand, wrist and palm.<br />
When you experience
pain, body tissues in the area may become swollen or tender to the
touch, pressing into one of the energy pathways, creating a blockage.
Because the human body is made up of mostly water, it is vulnerable to
electromagnetism. When the electric impulses are delivered to the body
through the electronic acupuncture device, they travel through the
connective tissues by way of these energy pathways throughout the body.
The blockage breaks up and restores proper energy flow, and therefore
the restorative healing properties.<br />
<b>Why Back Pain Relief Can Happen </b><br />
When
you are suffering with back pain, particularly if due to a pulled
muscle or bruising, the area requires blood, richly oxygenated, for
faster healing. Unfortunately, the pain and inflammation in the back
area can prevent this from happening. By delivering the electromagnetic
waves through the wand of an electronic acupuncture device, you can
touch specific pain relief acupoints that correspond with your back.
This helps release the constriction of the blood vessels around the
injured area so that blood can flow more freely, delivering the healing
oxygen it needs. The toxic substances your body produces in response to
the back injury are also flushed away with the opening of blocked energy
pathways.<br />
This electric magnetic wave therapy also causes your
body to produce endorphins which flow through the blood stream to help
alleviate pain. Invest in an electronic acupuncture device so that you
can complement traditional medicine with your own. By turning to this
type of acupuncture at the start of your back pain, you can hasten
healing and get back to your old routine faster.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Back support pillows are not called as its name just because it
has to be like that. It obviously renders the primary benefit of
supporting your back from any kind of pain, how severe you may be
suffering from it. Those who usually suffer from chronic back pains are
those that get to sit for a long time.<br />

office workers who sit in front of their computers whole day long are
the ones who usually suffer the most from this type of ailment. But good
thing that lots tools have been invented that could be more affordable
for people rather than just going for therapy.<br />
Back support
pillows are usually not too soft. Instead, you would find them very
rigid in person. It is made out of foam, fiber, or maybe combined cotton
and feathers. So how does it help your back? Once you put it in your
back, it follows the curve of your lower back and restores the ideal
posture of the spine which should be in the S shape.<br />
Some people
think that these pillows are only used for those who drive or sit on
chairs in the office for a long time. You might be surprised but these
can be helpful too as you sleep at night. There are many types of these:<br />
The
Lumber type of back support pillows are in U shape. It fills up the
space that occurs between the chair and your spine. This is used
perfectly for driving since it absorbs all the weight that causes back
pain. You can also use this while on travel and that you might find
yourself having the need to sleep while sitting.<br />
Next type of back
support pillows is the donut type. This has a hole in the middle, just
like an ordinary donut. This is perfect for those who suffer pain in
their tail bones and these are usually the pregnant women. It takes it
some gravitation force and removes it from the tail bone itself. Lastly,
there is the magnetic type of back support that looks like a half roll
pillow. It is made of foam and renders a bio-north magnetic line that
goes deep into the back to aid the pain and aches of muscle strains.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Astrocytoma brain cancer tumors are considered to be the most
common type of Glioma. These tumors may develop in various regions of
the brain, as well as the spinal cord. These particular type of brain
cancer tumors initiate from cells that are called astrocytes. The area
of the brain that these are most commonly identified is the main region.
This is commonly referred to as the cerebrum.<br />
It has been
established that these have the capability of affecting any individual,
at any time in their life. While there have been cases of Astrocytoma a
brain cancer tumor in children, this condition is most often diagnosed
among those that are part of the adult population. When children are
diagnosed with these tumors, they are most commonly located in the base
region of the brain rather than the main region of the brain.<br />
<strong>Common Symptoms </strong><br />
There
are many common symptoms that are often experienced when an individual
has an Astrocytoma brain cancer tumor. The symptoms that are experienced
often correlate with the pressure against the brain and skull regions
as a result of the size of the tumor. It is common for an individual to
exhibit behavior changes.<br />
The person may exhibit a personality
that is much different than their own, they may seem to change from one
mood to another in a fast-paced and mysterious manner, and they may
exhibit marked signs of irritability.<br />
Individuals that have this
type of tumor with their brain cancer will often experience headaches
and pain in the neck region. Gastrointestinal complications such as
vomiting are also one of the most common symptoms associated with the
Astrocytoma brain cancer tumor.<br />
<strong>Diagnosing the Astrocytoma Brain Tumor </strong><br />
Diagnosing
the Astrocytoma brain tumor is a challenging task to many medical
professionals. A full neurological examination is typically ordered if a
patient is exhibiting certain symptoms. One of the main signs that a
doctor will look for is any type of mental based dysfunction.<br />
In
some instances, a patient that is exhibiting new, unusually painful
headaches and swelling may be further evaluated. In addition to these
symptoms, those that experience seizures and signs of potential swelling
such as vomiting will be referred to a neurologist for a full, in-depth
medical examination.<br />
There are many different tests that may be
used to determine if an individual has an Astrocytoma brain cancer
tumor. One of the main diagnostic tools used to scan the brain for this
type of tumor is the MRI or the Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan.<br />
Many
neurologists will also use the CT or CAT scan, which stands for
Computed Tomography. In diagnosing this type of brain cancer tumor, many
doctors may utilize tests that help gauge the coordination, the
hearing, and the vision in order to effectively rule out other medical
conditions.<br />
<strong>Treatment </strong><br />
There are several different methods used to treat an Astrocytoma <a href="http://www.methedoctor.com/brain-cancer.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_new">brain cancer tumor</a>.
The first is usually surgery as the neurologist will want to remove as
much of it as possible. Immediately following surgery, the patient may
have to undergo chemotherapy and possibly even radiation therapy to
ensure that all components of the tumor are successfully eliminated.<br />
If
you have this type of tumor, it is important to work closely with your
doctor and follow the treatment regimen as closely as possible so that
your symptoms are reduced and that as much of the tumor is eliminated as
possible.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Anxiety and depression are hardly rare, especially these days.
However, if these situations are accompanied by chronic pain throughout
your body, if even a slight touch causes pain and discomfort and if
you're having problems concentrating and remembering things, you may be
suffering from fibromyalgia.<br />
This is a condition that affects
approximately 3% of the population, and the overwhelming majority of
victims are women. There is no cure for this condition at present -
mainly because medical researchers are not clear what it is - but there
ways of providing chronic relief.<br />
Other Symptoms<br />
In addition to pain and mental confusion, patients with this condition may also experience:<br />
- sleep difficulties
<br />- irritable bowel syndrome or other LGI issues
<br />- numbness or tingling
<br />- low blood sugar levels
<br />- difficulty urinating
<br />- muscle spasms
<br />- heart palpitations<br />
For most people suffering from fibromyalgia, relief is the top priority, however.<br />
What Causes It?<br />
Unfortunately,
medical researchers are not clear as to what causes fibromyalgia. Some
believe it is nothing more that a psychological condition; a physical
examination usually reveals nothing out of the ordinary. It has been
associated with rheumatoid arthritis as well as lupus, both of which are
inflammatory conditions.<br />
Current theory suggests that it may be
caused by a condition that makes the brain hypersensitive to pain
signals, resulting in a much lower-than-normal pain threshold. Some
individuals may be genetically predisposed as well; researchers have
noticed that it runs in families. Another culprit is a dysfunction when
it comes to the secretion of chemical neurotransmitters such as dopamine
and serotonin.<br />
Fibromyalgia Pain Relief<br />
Psychotherapy has
been shown to be effective in some cases; patients who undergo this type
of alternative pain relief therapy greatly benefit from an exercise
program as well. Pharmaceutical treatments include: the use of
anti-depressants, anti-seizure medication, dopamine replacements,
tranquilizers and even opioid medications. However, any and all of these
can produce unwanted side effects; the latter in particular has the
potential to create dependency.<br />
Alternative Pain Relief<br />
Increasingly,
non-pharmaceutical alternative pain relief methods are showing
exceptional promise. New research demonstrates that the human body has
an amazing ability to heal itself. Natural, non-chemical chronic pain
relief can be stimulated through the use of massage (something that
indigenous peoples have known for centuries) as well as the use of light
and sound. One exciting development is the use of magnets. While
magnetic energy does little on its own, when used in combination with
these other elements, it has been demonstrated to provide fast and
effective fibromyalgia pain relief in chronic sufferers.<br />

<div id="article-content">
Tinnitus is classified into two types: subjective tinnitus and
objective tinnitus. The former is a common type of tinnitus which is
characterized by hearing ringing and hissing sounds unheard by other
people. Objective tinnitus, on the other hand, is a rare type of
tinnitus wherein the sounds produced can also be heard by others. For
instance, the sounds can be heard by a doctor just by using a
stethoscope. This is also more disturbing than the other type as it is
accompanied by serious medical conditions like cardiovascular problems.
This type of tinnitus occurs in 3% of all cases of tinnitus.<br />
People
suffering from objective tinnitus describe their condition as hearing
rhythmic, low humming, thumping, or clicking noise synchronized with
their breathing or heartbeat. Thus, it is also called the pulsatile
tinnitus. Therefore, a person can acquire relief not only when the
tinnitus sounds are eradicated but also when the medical condition
accompanying it is treated.<br />
Objective tinnitus may be caused by
two things. First, the sudden alteration in the blood circulation in the
arteries or veins surrounding the ears can cause the production of ear
thumping tinnitus sounds. Second, the heightened or increased
sensitivity to the noise caused by the blood circulation in the ears can
make a person hear tinnitus sounds. There are few cases however when
this condition is accompanied by aneurysm or other fatal or
life-threatening conditions making it imperative for the patient to
receive proper diagnosis as there are root causes that must be pinned
down.<br />
This condition is usually clinically diagnosed through
checking the medical history of the patient to see history of
cardiovascular conditions. It may also be necessary for the patient to
undergo tests such as ultrasound, angiography, magnetic resonance
scanning (MRI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and CT scan as
these medical examinations and tests show blood flow and blood vessel
images which can greatly help a doctor determine the root cause. Blood
tests may also be done to see if the patient is suffering from anemia.<br />
Relief
against objective tinnitus depends mainly on the primary condition,
which upon identification must receive immediate treatment. For example,
if the cause of the condition is hypertension, it must be treated by
taking medication that can lower the blood pressure, diet change, and
lifestyle modification.<br />
Patients with this type of tinnitus should avoid indulging in the following:<br />
• High sodium diet<br />• Fat-rich diet<br />• Alcohol<br />• Beverages with caffeine<br />• Stress<br />• smoking<br />
Atherosclerosis
is one of the main causes of tinnitus and this is unfortunately caused
by diet rich in cholesterol and fats. Therefore, it is important for
tinnitus patients to get rid of them. High blood pressure, one of the
common causes of tinnitus, is caused by an increased intake of salt
since it can alter the fluid retention in the body. Caffeine can cause
increased heart rate and blood pressure. The fluid balance in the body
and in the ears can be caused by too much alcohol consumption. Stress
can trigger the symptoms of tinnitus to strike. Fatigue and anxiety
management is important to keeping the tinnitus symptoms at bay. You
should not forget that cognitive-behavioral therapy, alternative
remedies, and relaxation can also help a person acquire relief against
objective tinnitus.<br />
