Because it usually does not affect language, many people with Asperger Syndrome go undiagnosed. This is the one form of autism that is usually not caught at an early age and is instead a disorder that develops later in life. Asperger Syndrome, however, can be a very difficult condition to have, so as soon as you suspect yourself or your child of having <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/communication" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication" rel="wikipedia" title="Communication">communication</a> and <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/social_behavior" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_behavior" rel="wikipedia" title="Social behavior">social behavior</a> problems, see your <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/family_medicine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_medicine" rel="wikipedia" title="Family medicine">family doctor</a>.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Many famous and successful people were diagnosed with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Parenting-Child-Asperger-Syndrome-Strategies/dp/1843101378?ie=UTF8&tag=story2go-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Asperger Syndrome</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=story2go-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1843101378" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" />. Historians even suggest that Einstein and Mozart each suffered from this disorder. It is important to note that no form of autism is a form of <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/mental_retardation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_retardation" rel="wikipedia" title="Mental retardation">mental retardation</a>. In fact, most people with Asperger Syndrome are very intelligent. Asperger Syndrome does not dictate mental ability, but rather makes it difficult for people to communicate in social settings, much in the same way a typical <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/autistic_spectrum" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_spectrum" rel="wikipedia" title="Autism spectrum">autistic</a> child has trouble with behavior in groups. When this disorder goes undiagnosed, <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/child" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child" rel="wikipedia" title="Child">children</a> do not get the help they need, leading to problems in school such as bullying. Most children are relieved to find out they have Asperger Syndrome instead of just thinking they are less of a person. By getting diagnosed, not only can you or your child put a name to the problems, but it is then also possible to get treated to improve your overall situation.<br />
</div><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Some symptoms to watch out for if you suspect Asperger Syndrome are some of the same symptoms that people with full-blown autism experience. This includes social confusion, first and foremost. Many people with Asperger Syndrome find it very difficult to deal with transition or change, wanting everything to stay the same. A quickly changing environment is especially confusing. People with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/School-Success-Kids-Aspergers-Syndrome/dp/1593632150?ie=UTF8&tag=story2go-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Asperger Syndrome</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=story2go-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1593632150" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> also may say rude or inappropriate things when they don't mean to do so, and may not be able to understand others' thought processes. Another common trait they share with autistic individuals is fixation, although people with Asperger Syndrome usually have more control over their fixations, which take the form of highly focused interests. If you suspect yourself or a loved one of this disorder, these are just a few of the signs for which you should be watching. You doctor should be able to answer further questions and provide both reading material and treatment for this disorder.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;">There are so many tricks for good <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/skin" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin" rel="wikipedia" title="Skin">skin care</a> that you can do everyday. Did you also know that you need to take care of your skin according to the season? Seasonal care is very important because of the different conditions that are going to happen to your skin when it reacts to different things like the cold and <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/weather" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather" rel="wikipedia" title="Weather">hot weather</a>. The holidays are when you want to look your best and your skin is going to need a little extra attention. You need to learn the season and what you should do as your skin care routine so that you are sure to have beautiful skin and keep healthy even in the wintertime. <br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;">Winter is one of the two major times when your skin is going to deal with the intense <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/climate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate" rel="wikipedia" title="Climate">climate</a>. Because of the cold and inclement weather that comes along with this season, it is one of the most dangerous times of year for your body and skin especially for the face. Remember that hot <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/water" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water" rel="wikipedia" title="Water">water</a> especially when you first come outside from the cold is very harsh for your face. Yu should use mild water to cleanse your face.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;">Water is a very important part to do right in the wintertime. Washing <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/temperature" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature" rel="wikipedia" title="Temperature">temperature</a> when you are inside is not the only important thing. We have to know that the proper amount of moisture in our skin is very important. It is very critical to remember that water freezes outside. If you are using a moisturizer that is water based, your skin could feel those terrible effects when you go outdoors. You need to look for oil-based moisturizers instead and if you have oily skin, talk to your doctor about different ways to treat and get the moisture that you do need.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;">When you are outside in the cold <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/earths_atmosphere" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_atmosphere" rel="wikipedia" title="Earth's atmosphere">air</a> and wind you will see that it can cause your face to become dry.

The sun does not warm the earth as much as it does in other seasons. You can even get sunburned in the winter if you are outside too long without the proper sun protection. You should look for the products that have the right <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/sunscreen" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunscreen" rel="wikipedia" title="Sunscreen">sunscreen</a> in the m so that you are able to protect your skin from the dangerous sunrays during the year in the summer and winter months. <br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">T</span><span style="font-size: large;">here are a lot of different effects that <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/blood_pressure" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure" rel="wikipedia" title="Blood pressure">blood pressure</a> can have on a body. Most think about <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/hypertension" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertension" rel="wikipedia" title="Hypertension">hypertension</a> otherwise known as high blood pressure. However having low <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/blood" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood" rel="wikipedia" title="Blood">blood</a> pressure can cause problems as well. <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/hypotension" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotension" rel="wikipedia" title="Hypotension">Hypotension</a> can be serious and it should be taken care of immediately. Having low blood pressure can affect the bran and could as a result cause more problems that can not be fixed or even fatal.</span><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">The most known reason for having hypotension is having <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/hypovolemia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemia" rel="wikipedia" title="Hypovolemia">decreased blood volume</a> that is known as hypovolemia. There are many reasons why this is a problem that can occur in this way. Most of them have to do with problem with the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/nervous_system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system" rel="wikipedia" title="Nervous system">nervous system</a> in the brain. There are other causes that will include some medicines that can have hypovolemia as a side effect. Because low blood pressure has these affects and is a result of problems with such an important part of the body, it makes hypotension even more serious than having high blood pressure.</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">One type of problem related to hypotension that should be considered is <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000005bf2a70" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing" rel="wikipedia" title="Standing">orthostatic</a> hypotension. This is also known as postural hypotension and is one of the more common forms of low blood pressure. It can occur because of a change in the body’s position. An example would be standing up from a sitting or lying down position can briefly lower the blood flow in the body. Because of this, you can become dizzy, and can be noticed on a regular basis by many. Another more serious type of the syndrome can be brought on by medications of the physical and the psychiatric topic.</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is another form of hypotension that is less common than orthostatic hypotension. It is known as postprandial hypotension and will occur 30-75 minutes after you have eaten. Digestion of food can send a large dose of the blood to the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/digestion" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestion" rel="wikipedia" title="Digestion">digestive system</a> and due to this the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/autonomic_nervous_system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system" rel="wikipedia" title="Autonomic nervous system">autonomic nervous system</a> must compensate to increase the body’s <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/heart_rate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate" rel="wikipedia" title="Heart rate">heart rate</a> and find make more blood pump. Orthostatic hypotension can affect the autonomic nervous system, making it even weaker than it already is. It is also a sign of a failing autonomic nervous system maybe because of age or something else completely.</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hypotension is just as severe as hypertension. Even though the two may sound the same, their affects on the body are very different. However they are both cause for concern and should be checked out immediately especially since having low blood pressure could affect the brain and this is the most important part of the body. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="display: block; float: right; margin: 1em; width: 310px;"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Heart.jpg"><img alt="Heart, Herz, Coeur, Anatomic Design" height="209" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Heart.jpg/300px-Heart.jpg" style="border: medium none; display: block;" width="300" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution">Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Heart.jpg">Wikipedia</a></span><br />
</div>First of all, you need to be sure that you are always eating a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_%28nutrition%29" rel="wikipedia" title="Diet (nutrition)">diet</a> that is low in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat" rel="wikipedia" title="Fat">fat</a> and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol" rel="wikipedia" title="Cholesterol">cholesterol</a>. This is your best defense against <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertension" rel="wikipedia" title="Hypertension">high blood pressure</a>. If you can incorporate healthy <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food" rel="wikipedia" title="Food">food</a> into your life as something that you are always doing, you are going to find that you are able to lower your blood pressure at least a little bit simply by eating the right foods. This is important to do, and it is important to start right now. Eating healthy food is something that can help your body, but it is something that you have to keep up, and something that you have to do for a long time. If you have been in the habit of eating foods that are bad for you, you are going to find that it takes a long time for a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy_diet" rel="wikipedia" title="Healthy diet">healthy diet</a> to make a real difference. However, you shouldn’t give up, because it is something that will do wonders for you. <br />
You should also be sure that you are getting plenty of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_exercise" rel="wikipedia" title="Physical exercise">exercise</a>. This is something that is important, but you have to make sure that it is the right kind. Remember that the best kind of exercise for lowering your blood pressure is something that gets your <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart" rel="wikipedia" title="Heart">heart</a> moving. You want to make sure that your heart is very healthy, and that you are getting enough exercise. <br />
<br />
However, it might be that even though you are eating right and getting enough exercise, you still have to deal with high blood pressure. This might be because you have abused your body for awhile and you need to have some time for your body to heal. It might be that you have been eating a high fat diet for many years, and you need to take the time to get your body back to where it should be. Or it might be that you have a condition that makes you have high blood pressure, even if you don’t do anything wrong. In these cases, it might become important to use blood pressure medication. This will help you to regulate your blood pressure. Talk to your doctor about the different medications, and what they can do for you when it comes to lowering your blood pressure. There are also a variety of natural techniques, like <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acupuncture" rel="wikipedia" title="Acupuncture">acupuncture</a> and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massage" rel="wikipedia" title="Massage">massage</a> that can be used to lower your blood pressure. Look into all of these options before finding one that is right for you.<br />

As our fingernails are so noticeable and convey a message about us to everyone we meet, it is essential we take just a little time and educate ourselves on how to care for them well.<br />
What follows is a list of nail care tips divided into do's and don'ts:<br />
<br />
Nail Care Tips: The DO'S<br />
DO drink plenty of water each day. It's good for your general health and a well hydrated body contributes to healthy nails. Cracked nails may indicate the need for greater fluid intake.<br />
DO apply varnish remover before applying nail polish. This removes any grease on the surface of the nail and gives extra life to the nail polish, so make sure you do this regardless of whether there is old polish on your nails or not.<br />
DO take vitamin supplements unless your doctor advises otherwise due to other health considerations. Vitamins A, C, E, and B12 are especially important. Additionally, calcium, zinc, iron, protein, and folic acid will help avoid white marks appearing on the nails and prevent nails from becoming brittle. Research the foods you need to provide you with these essential vitamins and supplements.<br />
DO use a good quality buffer preferably once a week, no more than twice a week. Be sure not to buff too vigorously and not for too long to avoid damaging the nail. Just a brief gentle buff before applying nail polish can help prevent the polish from peeling due to a rough or uneven surface on the nail.<br />
DO use a soft nail file rather than an emery board. Emery boards can be too rough and damage the nail easily unless used with great care. Better to use a soft cushion nail file and wash it regularly for repeated use. It almost goes without saying, metal nail files are a definite NO NO!<br />
DO wear protective gloves when doing any work that requires the hands to be submerged in water or come in contact with chemicals. Preferably use gloves with a cotton lining so they remain dry inside. Fungus loves a moist environment.<br />
DO give attention to the cuticles regularly, using a moisturizing cream often to avoid the cuticles from drying out. Overgrown and ungroomed cuticles can adversely affect nail growth.<br />
Nail Care Tips: The DON'TS<br />
DON'T file backwards and forwards as this can cause splits in the nails which become even worse if water penetrates after hand washing. Rather use a gentle one way stroking action with the file along with a little patience.<br />
DON'T file the corners of the nail as this can weaken them and make them more susceptible to breaking. File straight across in a way that produces a soft, oval shape. Pointed nails break easily.<br />
DON'T file nails when they are wet. Make sure they are completely dry.<br />
DON'T use varnish remover and reapply nail polish more than once or twice a week. Preferably select a varnish remover that contains moisturizers to avoid the nails drying out.<br />
DON'T use your nails to scratch hard surfaces, pick at an object, remove staples, or serve as a digging tool. Just take a minute to get a proper tool for the job and avoid sacrificing your nails!<br />
DON'T over manicure the cuticles as this can damage them causing them to thicken and overgrow.<br />
DON'T ever cut the cuticles or use metal or sharp objects to push them back. Purchase the proper tool for the job, an Orange Stick. Hold it at an angle and gently push the cuticles back without damaging them. Using a cuticle remover first will help make the job easier and avoid damaging this sensitive skin.<br />
After a nail care session, conduct a little test. To see how smooth your nails really are run them down an old pair of tights or pantyhose. Any snags will help you locate the nail that needs further attention.<br />
The nail care tips listed above require some time and effort and perhaps initially a small investment to obtain the necessary professional tools. However, once you have them and get into a nail care routine, the benefits will make it all worthwhile.<br />
<br />
You will feel confident and flash your nails with pride.<br />

<br />
To have healthy and beautiful hair, you need some hair care tips as below,<br />
<br />
1. Choose natural shampoo - Natural shampoo is safer than chemical shampoo. Use a shampoo that is pH balanced and that is formulated for your hair type. Conditioner should be nourishing but not heavy. Rinse with cool water for extra shine.<br />
<br />
2. Avoid rinsing hair so often - We tend to rinse our hair so often in the hot season. The risk to rinse hair so often, make your hair become dry and affect your head skin. <br />
<br />
3. Avoid excess use of dryers - Blow dryer is commonly used to dry hair. This makes your hair broken. Use the tool properly to avoid your hair broken. <br />
<br />
4. Scalp massage - Massage the scalp with the oil regularly to encourage oil production. Hot oil treatment is very beneficial in preventing hair loss.<br />
<br />
5. Never brush wet hair, which can lead to breakage; instead, use a wide tooth comb after you shampoo.<br />
<br />
6. After swimming, wash your hair with fresh water as soon as possible to remove chlorine residue. <br />
<br />
7. Color your hair perfectly - To cover grey hair it is better to go a professional salon for coloring than doing yourself. Use the special shampoo; do not rinse your hair after 72 hours coloring.<br />
<br />
8. Consult your stylist - We usually want to have new hair stylist. To do hair style, it must have chemical process. Consult your stylist the better way to choose, because your hair needs special care before or after chemical process.<br />

<br />
<b>Wash your hands</b><br />
Basic way of preventing getting infected is washing your hands frequently, especially after coughing or sneezing. You can use soap and water, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective. Hand sanitizers can be used when water isn't available.<br />
<br />
<b>Don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth</b><br />
Germs spread when you touch your eyes, nose or mouth after touching something that's contaminated.<br />
<br />
<b>Avoid close contact with sick people</b><br />
If possible, avoid contact with possibly infected people. Avoid crowds. Swine flu spreads mainly when people cough or sneeze.<br />
<br />
<b>Avoid travel</b><br />
Try to limit traveling, especially to high risk areas such as Mexico. If you've been to Mexico and have flu like symptoms visit a doctor.<br />
<br />
<b>Wear facemask or respirator</b><br />
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing facemask in crowded settings to prevent getting infected and to not infect others. Respirator should be used if you have close contact with infected person (for example you're caring of sick person at home).<br />
<br />
<b>Antiviral drugs</b><br />
Swine influenza A (H1N1) is sensitive to Oseltamivir (sold under name Tamiflu) and Zanamivir (sold as Relenza). They are effective means of swine flu prevention and treatment. If taken for treatment, <a href="http://swinefluupdates.org/swine-flu-prevention/">Tamiflu</a> and Relenza are most effective if taken within 2 days after illness started. They are also effective for prevention if given to healthy person that had contact with infected people. Antiviral drugs are 70% to 90% effective means of flu prevention. According to CDC, number of days they should be used to prevent H1N1 influenza varies depending on each person's situation.<br />
<br />
<b>Vaccine</b><br />
Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine isn't available yet, WHO and CDC are working on it.<br />
<br />
<b>Stay home if you feel sick</b><br />
CDC recommends to stay at home for 7 days after symptoms begin or until you are symptom-free for 24 hours to not spread infection further.<br />
<br />
<b>Take care of your health</b><br />
Sleep well, be active, manage stress, drink lots of fluids, eat healthy. This strengthens your immune system.<br />

Medical experts watching the Swine Flu tell us that once the flu is detected in an area, the entire community can be <b>QUARANTINED</b> for 6 to 12 weeks, the normal time for the Swine Flu to run its course, <i>IF</i> no further outbreaks are detected.<br />
<br />
The "<u>Swine 90 DAY FOOD SUPPLY</u>" unit is compact enough to fit under most large beds, or stow in a large closet. It's ideal for homes, apartments, businesses, emergency operation centers, etc.<br />

<br />
Being prepared for all types of emergencies should be a priority for everyone in the U.S. With more threats than ever before, we know that any number of events can be right around the corner. But lately its completely understandable that many of us probably have our mind on economic worries at the very least. But knowing what we do know about the swine Flu break out, it might be a good time for us to consider investing in our own safety just in case.<br />
<br />
As of now there are over 1,000 deaths in the country of Mexico. Granted we are not Mexico, and we do have an outstanding heads up on the current situation, that doesnt mean that we shouldnt take precaution anyways.<br />
<br />
But a bigger point can be made - We should be ready for any other crisis that could happen, even if the Swine Flu stays contained.<br />
<br />
Swine Flu preparation should be just one state of preparation we should be concerned with. I would say that this Swine Flu problem should be at the least, a wake up call. Preparing for this could end up saving us in the future. If we take action now, and nothing too serious comes of the Swine Flu virus, than we will still be prepared for any future occurences that could happen.<br />
<br />
But just because we have caught this virus earlier than Mexico, doesnt mean its going to be O.K. Honestly, we are right nesxt door to the country, and we havnt done a great job of keeping Mexican immigrants out of our country in the past. And it only takes 1 unknowing victim to spread the Swine Flu virus to a large group of unsuspecting colleagues , classmates, or total strangers in a supermarket.<br />
<br />
I am definitely not trying to be someone that tries to scare people, but whenever a society takes something like this too lightly , things can spiral out of control in the blink of an eye. It is our responsibility to take stock of situations like these and make honest assesments.<br />
<br />
In the coming weeks we will know for sure if the Swine Flu will become epidemic, pandemic, or nothing more than a slight outbreak. I hope that its the latter. But I really hope that we are all prepared for anything and everything.<br />

The swine flu is the thing what we are mostly discussed in these days and most of the people are really interested to get knowing what this is. According to the scientific explanation, swine flu is a virus which was originated with the swine and now it has spread to the humans also. They have named this virus as Swine influenza (H1-N1) and still remain as a critical virus category. Because of that, still there are not vaccines in order to prevent from the infection and the only thing we can do is control the spread of it.<br />
<br />
If you are really interest and concern on stopping the spread, then there few basic things you can follow through. As an example, it is always better to cover up your nose and mouth while you’re sneezing and when going near to a person who is sneezing or coughing, the reason is that this virus can be spread through the air and you need to take all possible precautions to stop it.<br />
<br />
Also if you are feeling not well and sick, then it is always better to get the immediate medical attention as it can be the beginning of the swine flu. Since it is the beginning, the doctors can do some little more in order to keep your situation under control till they find a proper solution for the virus.<br />
<br />
However the doctors has identified that there are no specific symptoms for this swine virus and the symptoms are same as normal flu. So if you are having heavy headache, fever , chilling, body ache, vomiting, diarrhea and any other symptom with relevant to the normal flue, it is always recommended to get medical attention and try to cover up your mouth & nose always. So it will be a great help to prevent the virus being spread.<br />
<br />
Since this virus is originated with the swine, the doctors and scientists are still doing their investigations in order to find a proper cure for the virus. So the state government has given the full support for this process as they have understood the gravity of the situation.<br />
<br />
Also most of the meat processors have stopped producing pork due to this situation and the market also refusing pork. So it is a good point to avoid the spread of virus and it needs to be controlled accordingly. However the farmers have taken necessary precautions to keep the swine away from the other animals and the foods available at the farm to assure the safety from the swine flu. However by the time of now, few infected people have died due to the swine flu and it is a good point to understand the critical condition of this situation. Because of that, the scientists and the doctors work with their maximum capacity in order to find a proper solution for this critical virus. So the people are awaiting a very good solution in the very near future.<br />

There is a lot of anxiety among our society concerning the Swine Flu. It wouldn't be my personal preference to catch the illness because it seems to give a hard swift punishment to the victim. This strain can carry morph into any one of the three strains of influenza. Pigs do carry influenza viruses and can adapt or morph in humans. The swine flu can also change to infect birds, causing the strain to switch genes and create a pandemic.<br />
<br />
Like any type of new illness there are precautions people can take to prevent infection and the spread of the Swine Flu. It natural for people to cough directly into their hands. All the germs coming from the reparatory system are transported from the internal body and passed along to places, like car keys, door knobs, drinking fountains, and door handles. This can devastate the main population if one is carrying the actual Swine Flu. Create a habit of coughing into your shoulder or into your arm to minimize the spread of all germs and not just the Swine Flu.<br />
<br />
At night it would be favorable to spray Lysol spray on light switches, toilet seats, toilet handles, freezer and fridge handles to kill the Swine flu and other bacteria. Lysol is a powerful deterrent to assist in the spread of germs, and illness. Pump bottles of hand sanitizer will help kill the germs on the surface of the skin and can assist in preventing the spread of the Swine flu. But there is a more advanced and preferred method to preventing the spread of Swine Flu.<br />
<br />
We have been taught from an early age to wash our hands. Many take for granted the hand washing philosophy. The truth is that Lysol, hand sanitizer, coughing into the arm are all good ways but a good solid deep hand wash is the number one method for preventing the spread of germs. Hand sanitizer, and Lysol only kill the surface of where these items are applied. A deep hand wash bypasses the surface of the skin and really digs down to the grooves and pits of the hand. Ridges within the hand can be microscopic and hard to get reach for the Lysol, and hand sanitizer. A good hefty dose of liquid soap will grind down to the microscopic ridges and pours in the hand and do real damage to destroy the Swine Flu.<br />

<br />
Skin problems usually begin at teenage years. With the lack of information about proper skin care and lack of sense of responsibility, teenagers do things the wrong way. If they are not guided, marks and skin problems may get worse.<br />
<br />
There are skin care tips that should be taught to teens as soon as they enter the teenage phase. Skin problems are better prevented. Treatments cost more money and time. The following are the five basic skin care tips that can be of a guide to teenagers.<br />
<br />
" Be aware that there are different skin types. Teenagers might simply think that the product they saw on the television could be the best for them. Using a product that is not ideal for one's skin type may only worsen the problem.<br />
<br />
" Practice healthy diet. This skin care tip should be introduced to everyone at the earliest stage possible. This way, they will become more aware of what they eat, in a way that they will not feel being told off or that parents are simply trying to limit them. When teens are aware of what a healthy diet means, they become learn to understand that it can help them with their skin care habits. Water intake should also be watched as they are usually into sodas, and other drinks. Perhaps the best skin care tip that can be given is to consume healthy products and reduce the intake of foods which contain high levels of fat.<br />
<br />
" Wash and clean your skin regularly. Taking a bath one a day nowadays is not enough. With the presence of smoke, smog and other environmental factors, you need to make sure the skin is cleansed at least twice a day. In the morning, oil has gathered in the pores. Cleaning them is to prevent pimples and acne. In the evening, dirt, oil, and make ups that have clogged the pores need to be removed.<br />
<br />
" Be gentle with your own skin. Never pick on your pimples. After cleaning your face, don't rub your face with rough cloth. Gently wipe your face with soft cloth to avoid early development of lines. This skin care tip is also for every age. Proper treatment of skin is something that everyone should be aware of. Young men should be careful when shaving.<br />
<br />
" Make sure to have enough rest. While a person of this age loves adventures, having a lot of fun, they should know that not having enough rest will only make their skin develop premature aging.<br />
<br />
The skin care tips for teenagers also include having the parents or other older family members educating them about cosmetics. Early usage of cosmetics will only result in premature aging. There is a proper age for these. There are moisturizers and toners for teens; however, one should only resort to these products when the skin care tips that a professional provides doesn't seem to work. In this case, visit a dermatologist first and ask for suggestions.<br />
<br />
A skin care tip will never work without an adult having to explain it to them in a way that they will not misunderstand. It is also best if they can learn from their own parents, by letting your kids see you with your skin care routine and providing time when they have something to ask about it.<br />

By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Lance_Winslow">Lance Winslow</a><br />
<br />
The Mexico City Swine Flu is a highly dangerous challenge for humanity in that it is a re-combined virus made up of many strains that affects multiple species including pigs, birds and humans. But the chances of European, Asian bird and swine flu combining are, well, like 1/10 Th of 1 percent chance in nature. In other words this one might be human engineered.<br />
<br />
Was this Swine Flu virus genetically engineered by human scientists? Who would do such a thing and why? Is it possible that this is something of a test by bio-weapons scientists? It is known and highly documented in the human record, including on Wikipedia that: "Swine flu, dubbed Spanish flu, killed 50 million people worldwide in 1918."<br />
<br />
This is a rather strange virus, and very curious, and one wouldn't have to be a bio-weapons expert or former Russian advanced bi-weapons scientist to figure that it is most likely not natural occurring. Further it should be noted that this strain and outbreak could turn into one of the worst, if not the worst ever human pandemic. Could the Mexico City H1N1 Swine Flu kill a 100 Million People? Unfortunately yes, in fact, maybe more.<br />
<br />
It so far appears that the virus is 10% to 15% deadly and that healthy adults are the most likely to die from it, not very young or very old that are most at risk of influenza. Since the virus has already traveled to major US Cities, one has to ask if it is too late to control. Is it that bad? Well it could be, quarantine is one way, another is zone defense, it could shut down civilization and society for a while it runs its course.<br />
<br />
Yes, it is that serious, so think on this, because even if this one blows over, another could wipe out huge numbers of people and change the World we live in forever. Think on that.<br />

<br />
3. Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables and lots of fruits. Try to incorporate a healthy eating habit into your daily routine.<br />
<br />
4. Quit smoking. If you smoke try to quit or at least cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke each day. Cut down until you gradually stop.<br />

However care of aging skin also need some type of product that will help your skin become replenished with the necessary nutrients that are necessary.<br />
<br />
You should be using products that will help your body produce collagen and elastin. You know skin health begins with the body's natural production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are what causes your skin to be firm and elastic. Using a product that contain collagen and elastin will not work, because collagen and elastin's molecules are too large the cannot be absorbed into the skin. So you have to be able to produce these two necessary proteins naturally.<br />
<br />
Care of aging skin can be achieved if you use ingredients that contain the following ingredients. These ingredients are extracted from natural sources, some of them are good enough to be eaten therefore you know they will not harm your skin and there will be no side effects.<br />

By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Katie_Johnson">Katie Johnson</a><br />
<br />
Maintaining good oral hygiene and dental care has several benefits discussed below. Successful mouth care not only means use of quality cleaning products but it also means spending time using the right methods recommended for the care of your teeth or mouth.<br />
<br />
Generally, good health is as important as cleanliness for maintaining a healthy mouth and teeth. The relationship is well established between good teeth and a diet with enough calcium, phosphorous and Vitamin D which is necessary for the body to make use of these minerals. A good digestive process and sustatory pleasure are enhanced when the mouth and teeth are in good condition. These together with the tongue begin digestion and play very important roles by breaking up food particles and mixing with saliva which is also an important mechanical cleaner of the mouth.<br />
<br />
Dental carries is a very common teeth problem. This comes about due to failure to remove plaque which is destructive bacterial film that builds up on the teeth and with the passage of time leads to the destructive of tooth enamel. A good plaque fighting program means eliminating of sweet snacks such as soft drinks, candy, gum, jams, and jellies between meals, thorough cleansing and regular dental check ups. Also, use of antiplaque fluoride toothpastes, mouth rinses, and flossing help prevent dental caries.<br />
<br />
Another problem is gingivitis disease, which is an inflammation of the gingival the tissue that surrounds the teeth. Pyorrhea or periodontal disease also is an inflammation of the gums including bleeding gums, swollen, red, painful, gum tissues, receding gum lines with formation of pockets between teeth and gums pus that appears when gums are pressed and loose teeth. This eventually leads to tartar which attacks bone tissue and causes teeth to loosen and fall out.<br />
<br />
Strong odor called halitosis or a persistent bad taste may be a first indication of periodental disease. The best solution is regular treatment by a dentist. Finally remember to see the dentist immediately when you notice white or red patches, persistent sores, swelling, bleeding, numbness or pain in the mouth. Cleaning teeth every time after eating and drinking plenty of water regularly can go a long way towards helping you to maintain healthy teeth and general oral hygiene.<br />

<br />
Introduction<br />
<br />
Leukemia or leukaemia meaning white blood (Greek leukos, "white"; aima, "blood") is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow and is characterized by an abnormal growth of blood cells, usually white blood cells (leukocytes)and is split into its acute and chronic forms. It can affect the digestive tract, kidneys, lungs, or other parts of the body and can also collect in the testicles causing swelling. Leukemia is one of the most common cancers of children, But isn't just a children's disease, as many think. It is newly diagnosed in about 29,000 adults and 2000 children each year in the United States and has four main types and many sub-types of which only some of them are common among children. Leukemia that has spread to the brain may produce central nervous system effects, such as headaches, seizures, weakness, blurred vision, balance difficulties, or vomiting and the disease, or the chemotherapy used to treat it, can cause anemia.<br />
<br />
Acute Leukemia<br />
<br />
Acute leukemia is characterized by the rapid increase of immature blood cells, and is a potentially curable disease; However only a small number of patients are cured with current therapy. It begins with one or a few white blood cells that have a lost or damaged DNA sequence and gets worse very fast and may make you feel sick right away. It tends to develop suddenly, whereas some chronic varieties may exist for years before they are even diagnosed. Immediate treatment is required due to the rapid progression and accumulation of the malignant cells, which then spill over into the bloodstream and spread to other organs of the body. Whereas acute leukemia must be treated immediately, chronic forms are sometimes monitored for some time before treatment to ensure maximum effectiveness of therapy.<br />
<br />
Chronic Leukemia<br />
<br />
Chronic leukemia is distinguished by the excessive build up of relatively mature, but still abnormal, blood cells and often goes undetected for many years until it is identified in a routine blood test. It is more common between ages 40 and 70 and is rare among young people. It tends to gets worse slowly and may not cause symptoms for years. Like many other cancers, it is a disease of old age. Doctors often find chronic leukemia during a routine checkup, before there are any noticeable symptoms. In adults, the acute forms occur in those of all ages, whereas the chronic varieties tend to occur in people older than 40 years. Although slow-growing chronic leukemia may also be seen in children, it is very rare, accounting for fewer than 50 cases in children each year in the United States.<br />
<br />
Treatment<br />
<br />
Treatment of leukemia is complex and it depends on your age and health, the type and how far it has spread. Treatment is generally considered necessary when the patient shows signs and symptoms such as low blood cell counts. In general, ALL treatment is divided into several phases. In children, an intensive 6-month treatment program is needed after induction, followed by 2 years of maintenance chemotherapy. For children with low-risk, standard therapy usually consists of three drugs (prednisone, L-asparaginase, and vincristine) for the first month of treatment. High-risk patients receive higher drug doses plus treatment with extra chemotherapeutic agents. Follow-up therapy for ALL patients usually consists of: supportive care, such as intravenous nutrition and treatment with oral antibiotics.<br />
<br />
In general, the indications for treatment are: falling hemoglobin or platelet count, progression to a later stage of disease, painful, disease-related overgrowth of lymph nodes or spleen, lymphocyte doubling time (an indicator of lymphocyte reproduction) of fewer than 12 months. Overall, the strategy is to control bone marrow and systemic (whole-body) disease while offering specific treatment for the central nervous system (CNS), if necessary. Consolidation or "maintenance" treatments may be given to prevent disease recurrence once remission has been achieved. Whatever the plan, it is important for the patient to understand the treatment that is being given and the reasons behind the choice.<br />
<br />
Conclusion<br />
<br />
Leukemia is a cancer of blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. These cells crowd out other types of blood cells produced by the bone marrow, including red blood cells, which carry oxygen to tissues throughout your body, and platelets, which help form blood clots. Leukemia cells can spread to the lymph nodes or other organs causing swelling and/or pain and can also collect in the kidney, liver and spleen, causing enlargement of these organs. They also can affect the lungs and other parts of the body. Acute forms can occur in children and young adults. Chronic forms mostly occurs in older people, but can theoretically occur in any age group.<br />
<br />
There is no single known cause for all of the different types of leukemia. Studies have linked exposure to petrochemicals, such as benzene, and hair dyes to the development of some forms. Viruses have been linked to other forms. Until the cause or causes are found, there is no known way to prevent the occurrence of the disease. As of 1998, it is estimated that each year, approximately 30,800 individuals will be diagnosed with the disease in the United States and 21,700 individuals will die of the disease.<br />

This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. <br />
<br />
Caring for someone with AIDS at home can prove to be a challenge to anyone. However, if you follow the steps contained in this how-to article, you should find it easier to care for someone diagnosed with AIDS.<br />
<b>Steps</b><br />
1. ) First, read this how-to.<br />
The information in this how-to is for both people with diagnosed AIDS and people with HIV infection who are sick and need care.<br />
<br />
2.) Take a home care course, if possible.<br />
Learn the skills you need to take care of someone at home and how to manage special situations.<br />
Your local Red Cross chapter, Visiting Nurses Association, State health department, or HIV/AIDS service organization can help you find a home care course.<br />
<br />
3.) Talk with the person you will be caring for.<br />
Ask them what they need. If you are nervous about caring for them, say so. #* Ask if it is OK for you to talk to their doctor, nurse, social worker, case manager, other health care professional, or lawyer when you need to. Together you can work out what is best for both of you.<br />
<br />
4.) Talk with the doctor, nurse, social worker, case manager, and other health care workers who are also providing care.<br />
They may need the patient's permission, sometimes in writing, to talk to you, but you need to talk to these people to find out how you can help.<br />
Work with them and the person you are caring for to develop a plan for who does what.<br />
<br />
5.) Talk to a lawyer or AIDS support organization.<br />
For some medical care or life support decisions, you may need to be legally named as the care coordinator.<br />
If you are going to help file insurance claims, apply for government aid, pay bills, or handle other business for the person with AIDS, you may also need a power of attorney.<br />
There are many sources of help for people with AIDS, and you can help the person with AIDS get what they are entitled to.<br />
<br />
6.) Think about joining a support group or talking to a counselor. Taking care of someone who is sick can be hard emotionally as well as physically.<br />
Talking about it with people with the same kind of worries helps sometimes. You can learn how other people cope and realize that you are not alone.<br />
<br />
7.) Take care of yourself.< You can't take care of someone else if you are sick or upset. Get the rest and exercise you need to keep going. You also need to do some things you enjoy, such as visit your friends and relatives. Many AIDS service organizations can help with "respite care" and send someone to be with the person you're caring for while you get out of the house for awhile.<br />
<br />
<b>Tips </b><br />
- Get clear, written information about medicines and other care you'll give.<br />
- Ask what each drug does and what side effects to look out for. Ask the doctor or nurse what changes in the person's health or behavior to watch for. For example, a cough, fever, diarrhea, or confusion may mean an infection or problem that needs a new medicine or even putting the person in the hospital.<br />
- You also need to know whom to call for help or information and when to call them. Make a list of doctors, nurses, and other people you might need to talk to quickly, their phone numbers, and when they are available. Keep this list by the phone. <br />

<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I suddenly found myself in the care giver role caring for two elderly relatives. This was a world I would soon discover, I knew nothing about. My area of expertise has always been with children as I was a teacher for many years.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Being thrown into this new role, I sat down at my kitchen table with my head whirling with all the information before me and I took stock of what I did know, what my relatives would need, who would provide it and who would pay for it, and then, I set out to develop a plan. Little did I know, my plan would fall short of what I needed to do but that there would be people there to save me from it all.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Through my educational journey into the world of Health care in the United States, I continue to feel "rescued" many times. I am rescued from my state of confusion over all the services, information, and government information that I receive. My rescuees are none other than the very people who present this information to me. I am now on the other side of the teaching process. They patiently walk me through all the areas necessary for me to understand what will be needed to provide the highest quality of care for the aged people that I hold so dear. They also help me to understand who will pay for it all and what all the options are. These people that I speak of are the many wonderful, caring individuals associated with the many facets of health care. They give new meaning to the word TEAM. They have an amazing way of working together and getting the best results.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As we would go through the process of finding the best care possible, I have encountered women that have a purpose in their lives. Their lives are about helping other people through some of the most difficult times we all face in our lives. These are dedicated individuals who will work seven days a week if it will make someone else's life a little more meaningful and a little easier. These are also the same women who will do the toughest jobs because they care and they want to help people with whatever they need. I feel very blessed to have all of these individuals in my life as they have made all of our lives better by their example, their presence, and their compassion.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is where I first began to see Compassion at it's best. I then branched out and starting looking for it in other directions and discovered it was everywhere. I can see it through the charity works that people do everyday.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I thought about compassion and how it has affected my life when I saw a picture today of a woman in India who devotes her life to helping others. I needed to only look at a picture of her to see compassion written right across her face. I saw it as I watched the paramedics care for my Grandmother when she was ill. I saw it when I watched the aide gently help her, and I saw it in the visiting nurse who came and brought her husband along to "chat" with my Grandfather as the nurse cared for my Grandmother. I saw it in the social worker who helped us make the hardest decisions we have ever had to make, and I saw it in the care coordinator who managed to keep everything together.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I looked even further and discovered that it was in the most unusual places as well. I saw it in the grocery store when my Grandfather wanted to go shopping to buy the ingredients for soup so that his beloved wife of 66 years would eat something. I saw it in my friends when they could see that the strain a care giver experiences was manifesting itself in me.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I saw it in my business partners who stood by me and supported me and uplifted me as things got worse. With all of these beautiful examples of compassion in my life, I have made the choice to exercise compassion every day with everyone I encounter and I am thankful for the woman who have touched our lives so deeply.</span></div></div><br />

The short answer is yes.<br /><br />Asbestos is still widely used and has been used in everything from schools and work places, to appliance lining and insulation, and anywhere a fireproof barrier is needed. Most people do not understand that asbestos is still used in manufacturing many products. The air, drinking water, and even some consumer products still contain small amounts of asbestos. Asbestos fibers are even released into the air from natural deposits in the earth.<br /><br />The industry feels justified in their use of asbestos because it is only dangerous after it breaks down and is released into the air. Wear and deterioration of asbestos products is the primary way to release fibers into the air.<br /><br />The industry is quick to point out that people who have had a single, high-level exposure, incident, or are exposed for a short period to lower levels of asbestos, are not likely to contract Mesothelioma Cancer.<br /><br />What most people do not understand is that they do not need to be in a dangerous environment. If they know someone who works in a dangerous environment, they may have been exposed through fibers that clung to clothing, was deposited in vehicles, and released into the environment through their clothing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> How to Be Tested</span><br /><br />People at risk from exposure to asbestos from work or at home need to inform a doctor of their exposure history and symptoms. Asbestos fibers can be measured in urine, feces, mucus (fluid coming out of the body), or material rinsed out of the lungs. This may make it possible to test for asbestos long before serious symptoms occur – a vital factor in life expectancy.<br /><br />A physical exam and chest x-ray may be recommended, but this is not an adequate. A chest x-ray cannot reveal fibers, just changes in the lungs. The x-ray must be sent to an experienced specialist who understands how to look for asbestos-related diseases.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> The body must also be tested for fibers. </span><br /><br />Mesothelioma cancer is rare, but the incidences of it are on the rise. Currently, it affects 2 000 Americans a year. It is caused by an inflammation in the sac-like lining around many of the body’s internal organs. The most common type of this cancer is pleural mesothelioma. This cancer in the lung’s linking causes up about 60% of all cases.<br /><br />Peritoneum Mesothelioma is cancer in the lining of the abdomen and is found in 40% of all cases.<br /><br />Pericardium Mesothelioma, is found in the lining of the heart and is the rarest form, accounting for a very small percentage of all cases.<br /><br />Currently, exposure to asbestos fibers is the only cause of mesothelioma Mesothelioma, and other asbestos-related diseases. The problem in diagnosis is caused because asbestos remains dormant in the body from 10-50 years before scarring the tissue and causing cancer.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> The optimistic news is that not all Mesothelioma is cancerous. </span><br /><br />There are two forms: benign and malignant. Benign mesothelioma is non-cancerous and is removed and cured through surgery.<br /><br />Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer. The life expectancy for patients ranges from 4-30. This quickly spreading cancer is difficult to treat. Early detection and treatment is lengthening the life expectancy of people diagnosed with this type of cancer.<br /><br />This makes it vitally important for people exposed to asbestos to seek help immediately, even if there are no obvious symptoms. It may be too late to help them when symptoms appear. People who feel they may be at risk for Petritoneum, or Pericardium Mesothelioma should start medical and legal proceeding before becoming ill. </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="" articletext=""><a href="http://www.articlerich.com/">Article Source</a>: http://www.articlerich.com</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="articletext"> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="articletext"> Ethan Miller advises on health care from his web site at <a href="http://www.heartpatrol.com/" target="_blank">www.heartpatrol.com</a>.

Pimples, black heads, white heads, cysts and sometimes scarring can result. Acne is a skin condition that causes spots. Most people affected by acne are aged between 12 and 25. Acne affects people of all skin colours. The processes that cause acne are exactly the same in people with black or brown skin but the impact is altered by the skin pigmentation. Acne is caused by the overactivity of the sebaceous glands that secrete oily substances onto the skin. The sebaceous glands of people with acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of a hormone called testosterone, found naturally in both men and women. Testosterone in people prone to acne triggers the sebaceous glands to produce an excess of sebum. At the same time, the dead skin cells lining the openings of the hair follicles are not shed properly and clog up the follicles.<br />These two effects combined cause a build-up of oil in the hair follicles. Over 50% of acne sufferers report people making nasty remarks or fun of them.<br /><br />Pimples are actually hormonal during puberty so sometimes no matter what you put on them, they keep on popping up. Severe acne usually indicates the necessity of prescription medication to treat pimples. Oral antibiotics (tablets), such as tetracycline, can be prescribed for inflammatory acne. Isotretinoin (eg Roaccutane) is a medicine known as an oral retinoid, which also exists in a topical form (see above). Isotretinoin works by drying up oily secretions. Common over-the-counter medications for pimples are Benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid. Both medications can be found in many creams and gels used to treat acne through topical application. Both medications help skin slough off easier, which helps to remove bacteria faster. Exercise regularly. Aspirin contains BHA (Beta hydroxy acid) which is a powerful defoliant and great at helping unclog pores and clear blemishes. Some form of aerobic exercise will bring oxygen to your cells and give you a healthy skin.<br /><br />Natural remedies include Tea Tree Oil, lavender essential oil and witch hazel. Some home remedies for pimples have included potatoes, vinegar and lemon juice, toothpaste, garlic, lime juice and basil. Gently apply fresh limejuice on pimples and blackheads. Dab the mixture made by combining 1 tsp fresh coriander powder and a pinch of turmeric powder on the pimples, while going to bed in the night and wash it off when you wake up the next morning. Take a few fresh curry leaves and make a paste. Apply the paste on the acne-affected area and keep it overnight and wash it off with warm water the next morning. Apply the paste made of nutmeg (Jaiphal) and raw milk on acne and wash it off after 20 minutes. Do it for about 10-12 days and see the magical effects. Take some fresh fenugreek leaves and make a paste to apply on the acne pimples overnight. Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This will prevent pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Get Rid of Pimples Tips</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 1.</span> Gently apply fresh limejuice on pimples and blackheads.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 2. </span>Dab the mixture made by combining 1 tsp fresh coriander powder and a pinch of turmeric powder on the pimples, while going to bed in the night and wash it off when you wake up the next morning.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 3. </span>Take a few fresh curry leaves and make a paste.

It caused by previous exposure to asbestos. An exposure of as little as one or two months can result in mesothelioma 30 or 40 years later. Simian virus 40 (SV40) may act as a cofactor in the development of mesothelioma. Malignant mesothelioma is the most serious of all asbestos-related diseases. The two major types of malignant mesothelioma are pleural mesothelioma, which concerns the mesothelium membrane that surrounds the lungs, and peritoneal mesothelioma which concerns the mesothelium layer that covers the organs in the abdominal cavity. The people most at risk from being carriers of this cancer are those have worked with asbestos over the past thirty to fifty years. Because of this, the disease is most common in men between the ages of sixty and seventy as this is the group that commonly worked with asbestos during those years. Because of the lack of protection and regulations in those days, these workers were constantly exposed to the dust and fibres from the asbestos, which caused the cells of the mesothelium to become abnormal. Many building materials used in both public and domestic premises prior to the banning of asbestos may contain asbestos. Those performing renovation works or diy activities may expose themselves to asbestos dust.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Mesothelium</span> helps protect the organs by producing a special lubricating fluid that allows organs to move around. Mesothelioma is an extremely malignant and incurable cancer that infects the membrane that surrounds most of the internal organs. Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 20 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Shortness of breath, cough, and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleural space are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. Affecting the mesothelial cells that make up the mesothelium – the outer lining that protects the body’s major organs such as the heart, stomach and lungs. Pleural mesothelioma represents 75% of mesothelioma cases - but it is far from the only type of this deadly cancer. Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the lining around the stomach and intestines, and is just as dangerous and deadly. Treatment of MM using conventional therapies has not proved successful and patients have a median survival time of 6 - 12 months after presentation. The clinical behaviour of the malignancy is affected by several factors including the continuous mesothelial surface of the pleural cavity<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> Mesothelioma Cancer Treatment and Prevention Tips</span><br /><br />1. Health-care workers who specialize in part control are employing state-of-the art techniques to successfully fight pain.<br /><br />2. During the initial stages of mesothelioma, pain can be relieved with over-the-counter analgesics, such as aspirin, Tylenol or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin).<br /><br />3. Drug therapy is the primary method for treating mesothelioma pain.<br /><br />4. Non-Opoids are pain-relieving medicines such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and NSAIDs, such as ibuprofin, which can be purchases over-the-counter and taken orally.<br /><br />5. Opoids are the strongest medicines available to treat pain. Opoids, such as codeine, morphine, oxcodone, fentany, and hydromorphone, are very effective in relieving mesothelioma pain.<br /><br />6. Adjuvant analgesics are medicines intended for purposes other than pain relief. A number of these are used to alleviate pain associated with mesothelioma, such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and steroids.<br /><br />7. Emotional Support to Help Relieve Pain.As with all aspects of mesothelioma, emotional support from family or professional counseling can play a key role in pain management<br /><br />8. For patients with localized disease, and who can tolerate a radical surgery, radiation is often given post-operatively as a consolidative treatment.<br /><br />9. Chrysotile has been used more frequently, hence many mesotheliomas are caused by chrysotile.<br /><br />10. Removal is taking place in schools and other public buildings throughout the U.S. The hope is that these measures will greatly reduce the occurrence of this cancer. </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="" articletext=""><a href="http://www.articlerich.com/">Article Source</a>: http://www.articlerich.com</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="articletext"> </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="articletext"> Juliet Cohen writes articles for <a href="http://www.health-care-clinic.com/" target="_blank">health care clinic</a> and <a href="http://www.healingremedies.org/" target="_blank">home remedies</a>.

Even before the first tooth appears, use a soft, clean cloth to wipe your baby's gums and cheeks after feeding. As soon as the first tooth appears, begin using a small, soft bristled tooth brush to clean the tooth after eating. Don't cover the brush with toothpaste.

If you have to miss a brushing, the bedtime one is probably the worst one to miss. If you don't get rid of the bacteria and sugar that cause cavities, they have all night to do harm.

Every person has cancer cells in the body.<br />These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. <br /><br />2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. <br /><br />3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours. <br /><br />4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,environmental, food and lifestyle factors. <br /><br />5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system. <br /><br />6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. <br /><br />7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. <br /><br />8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumour size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumour destruction. <br /><br />9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications. <br /><br />10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites. <br />11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. <br /><br /><blockquote><p><strong>CANCER CELLS FEED ON: <br /></strong><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><strong><em>a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one<br />important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like<br />NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is<br />harmful. A better natural substitute would be M�nuka honey or<br />molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added<br />to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea<br />salt. <br /><br />b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the <br />gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and<br />substituting with unsweetened Soya milk cancer cells are being<br />starved. <br /><br /> c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based<br />diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken <br />rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth<br />hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with<br />cancer. <br /><br />d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, <br />seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline<br />environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including<br />beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are<br />easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes<br />to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live <br />enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice<br />(most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3<br />times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40<br />degrees C). <br /><br />e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. </em></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:78%;color:#009900;"><strong><em>Green tea is<br />a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. </em></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:78%;"><strong><em><span style="color:#3333ff;">Water-best to<br />drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy<br />metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. <br /></span></p></em></strong></span></blockquote><br />12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat re mai ning in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic build-up. <br /><br />13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. <br /><br />14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells. <br /><br />15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life. <br /><br />16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;">(PLEASE FORWARD IT TO PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT)</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27668210.post-1165751182820324222006-12-10T03:44:00.000-08:002006-12-22T02:32:11.200-08:00A G L O C ODear Valuable Visitors;<br /><br />I am a member of AGLOCO.

If it gets more serious, you<br />feel pain in the liver area." So if you think you have gallstones, Chiu Nan<br />offers the following method to remove them naturally. The treatment is<br />also good for those with weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder<br />are closely linked.<br /><br />Regimen:<br /><br />*For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice every day. <br />Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens<br />the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.<br /><br />*On the sixth day, take no dinner. At 6 pm, take a teaspoon of Epsom<br />salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water. Magnesium<br />sulfate could be bought from the pharmacy.<br /><br />* At 8 pm, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.<br /><br />* At 10 pm, take half-cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup<br />fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the<br />stones to ease their passage.<br /><br />The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. "Usually<br />they float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I have had<br />people who pass 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. That s a lot..! "Even if<br />you don't have any symptoms of gallstones, you still might have some.<br />It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean up now and then.<br /><br />Recommended period: Do it once a year!<br /><br />My officemate tried this method after I post this info at our bulletin<br />board, very thankful that she found the natural method--- she was<br />about to undergo a laparascopic procedure, but she postponed it when<br />she experienced relief by doing the above method.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
