{June 08, 2008}   6 Ways To Avoid Colds and Flus Over The Holidays

It seems that nearly everyone catches a cold or the flu between the months of December through February. Most people think this is just the way it has to be, and germs just randomly attack people. Well, this just isn’t true!

There are many ways to avoid these annoying and often depressing illnesses. Follow these 5 suggestions and you will significantly reduce your chances of falling prey to one of these nasty attacks!

1. Avoid sugar. As difficult as this may seem in during the holidays, it’s the #1 reason people get sick! Sugar takes a big hit on your immune system, and opens you up to disease. If you absolutely cannot do without sweets for 6 weeks, pick and choose a few specific times when you allow yourself a dessert. The daily chocolate around the office will surely come back to haunt you!

2. Get enough sleep. If holiday demands are forcing you to cut down on sleep, you are also putting stress on your defense against germs. Winter is actually a time when you should plan to sleep a little more than usual, not try to get by with as little as possible.

3. Avoid Stuffing Yourself. Although it may be tempting to overeat during this time, this will cause your liver to have to work extra hard, and lead to you getting sick. Overeating any time is also a good way to gain extra weight, as your body stores some of what it can’t use as fat. Stick with smaller meals more often and don’t let others pressure you into eating too much “because it’s the holiday season.” Nibbling on appetizers for hours before a big meal can really do you in. Make sure you think about what you are eating and slow down on the alcohol!

4. Prioritize and Reduce Stress. Make sure you are prioritizing your work and daily activities so you don’t become overwhelmed and stressed out. Keeping unwanted stress away is a big factor in staying healthy. Take up yoga or meditation, or just reserve 20-30 minutes per day that’s “your time”- where you don’t have to do anything or be anywhere.

5. Cook with Coconut Oil. For many years coconut oil was the preferred oil for Americans, until the Canola industry spread false rumors about it, claiming that it was bad for your health. Recent studies have shown that in fact by not eating coconut oil we are missing out on nutrients that keep our immune systems strong. It is the only “good” form of saturated fat. To stay strong, have a couple of teaspoons every day, either in your cooking or as part of a smoothie.

6. Aerobic Workouts. If you’re going to miss a workout, make it an anaerobic one. Stick with your walking, jogging, swimming, cycling. Anaerobic workouts like lifting weights, or doing sprints, put more stress on the body, and skipping these occasionally during this time of year can actually benefit your health.

{April 18, 2008}   QRAY as Mind/Body Health

QRAY bracelet as medicine

Mind-body medicine focuses on the interactions between the brain, mind, body, and behavior, and on the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly affect health.

Instead of setting a bone or taking a medication, mind body medicine focuses on strategies that are are thought to promote health, such as relaxation, hypnosis, visual imagery, meditation. Yoga, is considered by many to be form or excercise. But yoga is frequently prescribed for its curative effects - such as its ability focusing attention or maintaining a specific posture — to suspend the stream of thoughts and relax the body and mind. Biofeedback is a technique that uses electronic devices to help people learn to control body functions that are normally unconscious (such as breathing or heart rate). The intent is to promote relaxation and improve health..Tai Chi, and Qi gong are practices that are part of Chinese medicine that combines movement, meditation, and controlled breathing. The intent is to improve blood flow and the flow of energy in the body.

Do these mind body methods work? They have been practiced for many years and many people swear that they are effective. But from the point of view of traditional medicine, many are skeptical of these powers.

There is also skepticism about the efficacy of Qray and other ionized bracelets. There are those who have been wearing them for years and swear that they were in pain until they started wearing their Qray. There are others who admit that they wear the bracelets because they like the way they look and that just wearing them, especially when they are pursuing strenuous physical activities makes them “feel better.” Can a bracelet make you feel better and perform better? There are hundreds of thousands of educated men and women who think so.



{April 18, 2008}   4d scans - babyultrasound.co.uk

The method know as 3d ultrasound is that can be used during early pregnancy, it can provide 3d pictures of the fetus. Most times these ultrasound pictures are rapidly captured and joined together and animated to created a 4d ultrasound scan.

Three dimensional scans works in the same manner to the traditional ultrasound except that the ultrasound scanning pulses can be sent from multiple directions. The ultrasound waves can be redirected back then captured to provide information to construct a 3d picture in very much the same way as 3d pictures. 3 dimesional ultasound scanning was devised in the usa.

It’s important to understand that sonologists worldwide always conjured 3d images of the body in their minds while doing 2d scans. However, until recently it was very difficult to do this type of reconstruction on patient data acquired using ultrasound. The advent of 4d scans for the first time allowed us a peek into the mechanics of thinking of a sonologist and hence letting us view the images on the ultrasound machine.

The 3d/4d ultrasound image should utilize ultrasound energy following the same limits as conventional 2d ultrasound to create the 3d images. There is no data to suggest any harm due to 3d ultrasound, its use in non-medical situations should be undertaken with an understanding of the risks.



{March 31, 2008}   Types of Disorders Passive-Aggressive Disorders and Mental Health

Passive-Aggressive Personality types will often sabotage all
areas of their life in the sense that they often complain about
any demands put on them. They may not voice the complaint or may
do what is asked of them, but in their mind that is cussing the
source that what they believe made them do the work.
Passive-Aggressive Personality types are just as it sounds.

They often are passive outward and aggressive inwards. The
Passive-Aggressive types often anger others around them, yet the
other person may feel wrong since they are not clear on the
foundation that caused the anger. These types of people are
deceiving since they are often obscure with their tactics in
persecuting others.

They will often blame everyone around them rather than owning up
to their part in conflicts. For example, Mary confronted Bob
expressing to him that his behaviors were unconstitutional and
were causing problems. Bob looks at Mary with an astonished
glare and says you are the problem Mary. I did what I was
supposed to do, and I did nothing wrong while doing it. I have
no idea what you are talking about. Passive-Aggressive
Personality disorders are controversy, and are only one type of
disorder that the experts dispute yet use everyday. Another type
of personality disorder that is questionable is the
Self-Defeating Personality Disorder. This type will often
associate with persons that will cause harm to or persecute the
individuality of the self-defeated person.

This type will also excuse another individual offer help to him
or her, even if help is needed. This type may also anger others
around them and display hurt when confronted by the other
individual. The two personality types rarely hold a permanent
relationship and will often make excuses when their symptoms are
addressed.

Sadistic Personality Disorder was recently removed for the DSM
manual simply because the experts did not have a foundation for
the diagnose. The symptoms include, controlling behaviors. They
are often violent and will harm others to uphold their control
over another individual. This type is similar to psychopathic
and antisocial personality types in the sense they rejoice when
they hurt others, including animals. They often delight or
entertain self with sources including weapons, torture, and
other dangerous items. This type will often resort to abusing
alcohol and drugs, as well as humans. They often are in
relationships with victims of abuse, and will search out anyone
that they feel is easy to control.

Even if the person is submissive, they will find reason to
torture or hurt the person because this is what gives them
pleasure. Persons that suffer Sadistic Personality Disorders are
often survivors of abuse, and are extremely angry at the world
around them. No one is good enough and everyone is an enemy out
to hurt them in their minds. They often are in denial, even if
they cause harm to others, they will blame the victim. If you
are around this type, it is important to get out of there
quickly, since this type is prone to murder. Similar to a
psychopathic these types cannot maintain a steady relationship
and will most always hurt the person involved in their lives.

Antisocial Personality Disorders is also up in the air.
Although the traits of this type can be seen in Psychopathy, it
is rated differently simply because a few symptoms are lacking.
Children if diagnosed with this disorder are listed under
Conduct Control Disorders, and after the age of eighteen, they
are then viewed as Antisocial Personality. This type is also
dangerous and will harm animals and people. They often take
great pleasure in causing harm to others and the more torture
involved the more they like the action.

This type of person is another person that has difficulty in
relationships and often center out persons that have been
abused. They enjoy controlling others around them and rarely
take responsibility for their behaviors. It is important to
contact a professional if you notice anyone with the listed
symptoms around you behaving this way. Getting help now can save
you despair in the future, and may even save someone’s life in
some cases.
