DOUBLE-BLINDED MEDICINE: When Doctor and Patient Are Both in the Dark

[ad_1]

DOUBLE-BLINDED MEDICINE:

When Doctor and Patient Are

Both in the Dark

I met a dermatologist the other day who made my skin crawl. He was in his thirties, tall, lean, and unsmiling, like many doctors these days. But what stood out most was a fresh-looking, full-color, eye-popping tattoo on his right arm that snaked its way up from his wrist, circumvented his forearm, and slipped beneath his short-sleeved shirt to unknown anatomical areas. I believe he also had a tattoo on his left arm, but I was too gobsmacked at the time to take note.

Now, you might think, as I do, that a tattooed dermatologist is an oxymoron. It doesn’t take much imagination, or research on the Internet, to realize that tattoos are bad for the skin.

The most obvious issue is that tattooing is done by puncturing the skin, causing skin trauma and risk of infection. Interestingly, there is research that connects the injury to the skin made by both tattooing and vaccinations as a cause of numerous skin reactions, including cancer.

The 2014 article, “Tattoo and vaccination sites: Possible nest for opportunistic infections, tumors, and dysimmune reactions”, in the journal Clinical Dermatology, explains that, “Both dermal tattoos and vaccine injections may alter local immune responses, creating an immunocompromised district on or near the site of placement. This can lead to the development of opportunistic infections, benign and malignant tumors, and local dysimmune reactions… A variety of tumors including basal and squamous cell carcinomas, keratoacanthomas, and malignant melanoma also have been reported in association with tattoos… Vaccination sites similarly provide a setting for both benign and malignant tumors.”

The inks used are also a problem, causing allergies and exposure to heavy metals. It is fairly common for individuals to have an allergic reaction to the dyes used in tattoos. Ink is actually filled with many chemicals and unnatural ingredients that can irritate a person’s skin.

There is also a link to skin cancer. When it comes to cancer, black ink can be especially dangerous because it contains a very high level of benzo(a)pyrene. Benzo(a)pyrene is currently listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Black ink is the most commonly used color for tattooing.

You might think that this doctor may have gotten his tattoos before becoming a doctor, so he didn’t know any better. But this was a new tattoo. And he was flaunting it, not hiding it.

Tattoos are common these days, and fashionable in certain circles. Doctors want to look cool, like everyone else. They grew up like everyone else, exposed to, and brainwashed by, the same cultural messages. They just choose to go into medicine.

I also met a cardiologist who smoked cigarettes. He was also grossly overweight, and ate a big, juicy hamburger with fries for lunch. Of course, being obese, smoking and eating fried foods can increase heart disease.

An obese, smoking cardiologist eating fast food makes as much sense as a tattooed dermatologist.

Maybe these doctors are attracted to their specialties because they know they will need treatment from that specialty due to their lifestyles? It’s like when mentally-disturbed, neurotic people become psychologists or psychiatrists.

How about female doctors who constrict their breasts with tight bras for long hours daily? There are many female breast health experts, including breast surgeons, who wear breast-harming bras. Their medical training never mentioned tight clothing as a cause of circulatory impairment and lymph stasis. These doctors willingly immobilize and alter their breast shape, hide their nipples, and basically re-design their breast appearance for cultural reasons, and do this despite the documented harms caused by bras, including causing breast pain, cysts, and cancer. Wearing bras is just something every woman is culturally expected to do, even doctors.

Is this hypocrisy? Should we expect doctors to be paragons of health and healthy lifestyles?

More basically, when we seek help, does it matter whether the helper is in the same mess we are in? In other words, can you trust a lifeline from someone in the same boat as you?

We seek help in many places.

Would you go to a priest who was a known pedophile?

Would you use a mechanic whose car is broken down?

Would you go to a hairdresser who is having a “bad hair day”?

Would you use a plastic surgeon who has a big nose, cock-eyed chin, and facial scars?

How about eating in a restaurant where the cook is out because of food poisoning?

You could also go into a health food store and buy chips, coffee, candy, wine, beer, and lots of other unhealthy stuff.

Then there are the drug addiction recovery programs that offer coffee to everyone, one of the most addictive substances we consume.

Clearly, there’s a problem here. We live in a culture where there are lots of products and activities that can harm us. In fact, the biggest cause of disease and death is the culture and all the bad things it teaches us to think, do and feel. We absorb these cultural messages from the uterus onward, as our nature becomes modified by our culture.

This applies to everyone. It includes doctors, too. Just because someone studied medicine, it does not mean that they personally eliminated all harmful cultural practices in their lives. The same cultural causes of disease that fill their waiting rooms also fill their personal lives. In fact, the medical culture is even worse on doctors.

For some reason that is not clear, the medical system exploits doctors with long work hours and sleepless day and night shifts. Doctors are rushed and pressured, grabbing unhealthy snacks on the go. They become tempted to abuse drugs to keep going, but may settle for drinking 10-20 cups of strong coffee, instead. They also become tempted to use drugs to relax, but may settle for a few alcoholic drinks. They have little recreation time, or time with their families. And depending on their specialty, they are exposed daily to infectious diseases, death, radiation, the soul-robbing sights and smells of hospitals, and the depression of treating endless lines of sick people, often using treatments that do no good, and for conditions that have no known cause.

Clearly, being a doctor can make you sick, mentally and physically. No wonder why there are so many doctor suicides. Just practicing medicine is slow suicide.

This also means that doctors are not the ones to tell patients to clean up their lifestyles. The doctor’s lifestyle is at least as bad, and actually worse. They participate in the same unhealthy culture as everyone else, addicted to many of the same things, and suffering from the same psychological and physical issues. But they are the ones who are meant to treat those problems.

This is a basic reason why medicine does not emphasize lifestyle or other cultural causes of disease. How can doctors tell patients to not do things that they themselves do?

This is also why many discoveries of the cultural causes of disease are left unnoticed by medicine. For example, when smoking was culturally accepted as safe and good for you, everyone smoked, including doctors. In the 1950’s, there were ads by tobacco companies using doctors to promote smoking. New research that showed smoking caused lung cancer was ignored, ridiculed, and opposed vehemently by many in the medical profession.

Nobody likes to be told that what they are doing is wrong and can harm them, especially doctors who are regarded as the experts on health. Telling smoking doctors that their habit is actually bad is a challenge to their authority. And how can they tell smoking patients to stop?

Another example can be found in today’s debate over the health hazards of bras and their link to breast cancer. I know about this issue personally, as the co-researcher, with my wife Soma Grismaijer, of the world’s first study focused on the bra-cancer link. We announced our results in the 1995 book, Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras, now updated for 2018.

There are now many studies internationally which link breast cancer with the wearing of tight bras.

Essentially, bra-free women have about the same risk of breast cancer as men, while the tighter and longer the bra is worn the higher the risk rises, to over 100 times higher for a 24/7 bra user compared to a bra-free woman.

But this information is still being resisted by a culture which has become as addicted to bras as it had been to cigarettes. Women have become conditioned into believing that they need artificially-shaped breasts to be acceptable in public. Even doctors have bought into that message. Under the spell of the lingerie industry, the thought of being bra-free in public sends a chill down the backs of women who would feel naked and ashamed without their breasts being bound by a bra.

As a result, the bra issue is still relegated to alternative health and fringe groups, although women are now asking why they need to wear bras in the post-#MeToo world. Must women’s breasts be constantly sexualized by pushing, squeezing, prodding, pinching, compressing, constricting, cleavaging, and lifting their breasts with bras? Many women are now saying no.

Ironically, many female doctors who use bras are insisting that under no circumstances can bras cause disease, especially cancer. The reason is that they cannot imagine themselves being bra-free at work, which is a logical conclusion of this information. If they realized that bras were causing disease, then they would have to defend their bra habit.

This means that there is an additional problem caused by doctors being as ignorant as everyone else with regards to unhealthy lifestyles. Not only does the bad-lifestyle doctor model bad lifestyles, but that doctor may also be personally and psychologically invested in defending those bad lifestyles. They don’t want to stop doing what everyone else is also doing. They want to belong, just like everyone else, even if that requires smoking, drinking, or doing other harmful behaviors.

But their denial carries weight with patients. Doctors model and teach implicitly by their own behaviors.

Should doctors be required to practice the latest lifestyle trend alleged to improve health and prevent disease? Before anything like this can even be considered, the bigger obstacle for doctors is their own medical culture that abuses them and drives them to depression and suicide. So long as the institutional and corporate powers that control medicine continue to abuse doctors with a harmful medical culture, don’t expect medicine to focus on culture.

Medical culture is a glass house that will not throw stones at pop culture.

And since the medical industry profits from the detection and treatment of the resulting diseases, there is actually financial incentive to maintain the cultural status quo, even if that culture is also killing doctors. There are many more pre-med students waiting to take their place.

This is double-blind medicine. Both the patient and doctor are in the dark. It’s the blind leading the blind, except that the blind leaders deny their blindness and scoff at those who see the light.

Living Healthy Lives By Choice
[ad_1]

How to live healthy and disease free for the rest of your life. Do you think that is pipe dream? If you think it is not possible, then you have already defeat your purpose. However, if you think it is possible, then I want to categorically tell you that it is can happen, and it is happening.

I am going to tell you and show you how to make it happen for you, as it is for me and many others.

Listen to me carefully, we are healthy by design and sick by default!

Living a healthy life is a matter of choice we make every day by the things we do, the food we eat and drink, and overall life we live. I am going to show you how to live a dynamic, vibrant healthy life. How to live your full life and never get sick, and how do do all this without drugs or surgery.

How to look like you have found the secret of the fountain of youth.

Let me ask you this all important question,

Why Are We Sick?

If we don’t know the cause of something, it almost impossible to fix it. So, we have t0 first explore what is making us so sick, and I am sure some of the reasons that are making us sick might surprise you.

To put it at the very basic and say, there are only two reasons why a person become ill.
1. You “catch” something, meaning, your body picks up a germ, generally a bacteria or a virus.
2. Your body develop an illness or a disease. That will happen because something has gone wrong in your systems, causing some imbalance.
Something is not working as it should, and a disease or an illness develop. Examples are, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, acid reflux, arthritis, etc.

Remember that our focus is living healthy, so now, let’s dig a little deeper in these two causes of all illnesses and diseases. And I’ll start with the first cause of catching something.

We said before that is either a bacteria or a germ causing the problem. But look at this fact, the atmosphere is filled with these small and most times invisible creatures. Have you ever ask why some people in the same environment where others who pick up the germ and they are fine!

Don’t tell me everyone is made up differently, and you will soon understand why this argument cannot stands the test of a day.

I said earlier that we are healthy by design, meaning, our bodies are designed to fight off those bacteria and germs that are bombarding us every day.

That inbuilt apparatus is called the Immune System which has two fundamental functions which are vital to the survival of the person.
1. The Immune System is for identification of all types of micro-organisms and foreign bodies that are potentially dangerous to the individual.
2. The Immune System is also for destruction of these micro-organisms, substances or foreign bodies.
Our Immune System can be weakened from a variety of ways, and these are some of the most common:

A. Under or malnourishment which is a lack of essential nutrients like vitamins and some trace elements.

B. Stress, can either be physical or psychological. Obesity can be a cause.

C. Chemotherapy which comes in the form of anti-cancer medication

D. Infectious diseases come from “catching” something

E. Dieting includes the foods that contribute in special ways to the correct functioning of the complex Immune

System

F. AIDS: Is the Immune System deficiency caused by a viral attacks on your body’s defense mechanisms.

Let me remind you of the two reasons why people get sick:
1. You catch something and your body cannot fight it off, as a result your body give in to the germs.
2. Your body develops something in the genetically weak areas.
In both of the above cases the causes are the same.

A. Your Immune System is weak

B. Toxins are attacking your body

When we consider those two fundamental causes for illnesses, we can conclude that all sicknesses come from one or a combination of four things. This is what Kevin Trudeau in one of his books called: “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About” said about why we get sick.

These are the four basic reasons Kevin give for all sicknesses:
1. People get sick because they have too many toxins in their bodies
2. We are suffering from nutritional deficiencies, meaning our cells are not getting enough nutrients in their proper proportions.
3. We are exposed to and negatively affected by Electromagnetic Chaos (EMC).
4. You have trapped mental and emotional stress
According to Kevin, these are the only four reasons why our Immune System could be weak or why genetically weak areas in the body can break down, and thus allowing illness and diseases to develop.

Although Kevin said these are the only reasons for all illnesses, I would like to add one more reason why we get sick.

Because I want to establish this fact, or I should say this TRUTH!!

We as living creatures called human beings are different from all other living things. Only human beings are created in the image and likeness of Elohim.

As a result, only human beings are created in His image and likeness, meaning, just like how Elohim exist in three formalities as Father, Son and Holy Ghost, we also exist in three dimensions as body soul and spirit.

To state it correctly, we are first and foremost spirit, with a soul in a body.

As a result of this enlightened truth, we can also get sick from a spiritual perspective. The medical experts call this psychosomatic illnesses

Psycho in psychosomatic comes from the root word psychic, and mean among other things, the supernatural or spiritual.

There are researches surrounding psychosomatic illnesses which seems to provide sufficient scientific evidence that the mind or the intangible part of a person, or a person’s beliefs and thoughts, have the ability to cause physical changes in the body.

If we are going to be Living Healthy lives, holistic healthy lives, then all three areas on man’s existence must be covered. Complete health is in spirit, soul and body.

Therefore I will say people are sick because of these five reasons
1. We allow too many toxins in our bodies for too long
2. We are not eating properly balanced meals resulting us suffering from nutritional deficiencies,
3. We are exposed to and negatively affected by electromagnetic chaos (emc).
4. We do not properly manage mental and emotional stress
5. We ignore the Spirit-man that is more real than the physical man
There are things we can, and other things we cannot control. Therefore, the only way to manage those uncontrollable things, is to ensure the cells of our body are vibrantly healthy and strong to function as they should.

One such things we cannot control is electromagnetic fields to which we are all exposed.

What is electromagnetism?

Electromagnetism is a scientific word in physics used to describe one of the fundamental forces of nature. This force is between subatomic particles such as protons and electrons. You have to have a basic knowledge of physic to appreciate these terms.

Electromagnetism helps to hold matter together. It is also used to describe how a magnetic field is created by the flowing of electric current.

Our body has electromagnetic fields and communication systems. Electromagnetic chaos come about when wireless devices like the laptops, computers, televisions and cell phones are used too frequently. And even more dangerous when we sleep with them in the bedroom.

The resulting distortion creates chaos within the body’s electromagnetic fields and communication systems. This causes physical, mental and emotional imbalances.

Electromagnetic chaos is a negatively powerful force and causes disease.

When we are able to reduce, eliminate, or neutralize these powerful negative frequencies, then we can reverse the negative reactions, resulting in the “curing” of symptoms and disease.

Living Healthy Through Balanced Diet

There are areas where we have complete control. For example, in the area of nutrition to prevent nutritional deficiencies.

People suffer unnecessarily because they do not eat the right way.

The proper way to ensure you are eating a balanced diet, is to include portions in your meals every day.

The portions should be considered in colors. So, in your daily eating, make sure you consume 50% green, 35% yellow, and 15% red. In so doing, you are covering all the basic nutritional needs of your cells.

Eating like this is the natural way to live healthy life and cancel the imposition of nutritional deficiency diseases.

In other words, we will not suffer from those noncommunicable diseases (NCD), that most people develop from improper or unhealthy eating habits.

For example, we will not suffer from the disease they call cancer. If we are to reveal the truth, cancer is not a disease, but rather a nutritional deficiency.

“According to Pharmaceutical Research, 95% of the causes of cancer are rooted in our lifestyle; our habits and rituals. The result of what we eat and don’t eat. Only 5% of all cancers have a genetic link in their etiology, (causes of cancer)”.

The naked truth is, there is no disease called cancer. Cancer is a tumor- like growth that occurs as a result of a nutritional deficiency of vitamin B17.

Most doctors won’t tell you this, but take it from me, only your body can cure itself!

There are certain things you can do to help your body heal itself better, or cure itself of illness, sickness and diseases.

I stated earlier one of the fundamental reason you are sick is because of too much toxins in your body. What that comes down to are six areas that have direct relations to toxicity in your body.

These six areas are:

1. Exercise

2. Rest

3. What goes in your body

4. What comes out of your body

5. Your thoughts

6. Words you speak

Did you know that when you are toxic your body becomes highly acidic? Good health mean your body pH should be alkaline. When your body pH is acidic, you are vulnerable to illness and disease.

If your body pH remains alkaline, you virtually cannot get sick!

Every single individual who is diagnosed with cancer, has a pH that is too acidic.

One man said it all in this way – “If man made it, don’t eat it.” Put another way, eat only what comes from the plant, and not what come out of a plant.

There is so much that could be said here about genetical modification by man of virtually all fruits and vegetables to make them more disease resistant.

And even worse than that, how farmers have to produce more per acre in order to make more profit, by using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. So when you eat a piece of that fruit or vegetable, it is loaded with toxic chemicals.

The bottom line is this, if you are going to be living healthy life and experience vibrancy and high energy, you must clean the accumulated toxins from your body.

Live Good Health By Eliminating Toxic Built-up

It is important to know that from a baby, you have been flooding your body with toxins.

These toxins and poisons included everything form vaccines, prescription and nonprescription drugs, from the air we breath, the water we drink, swim and shower in, and all the chemical from the food we eat.

You should learn about getting a full-body fat/lymphatic detox once per year. And in between that, do a complete colon cleanse, do a heavy metal cleans, do a liver/gallbladder cleanse, do a parasite cleanse, and a candida cleanse.

Other Measures to Good Health

You should drink eight full glasses of purified water every day. You need to drink more water, and the water must be pure. Water is necessary not only for flushing and nourishing your cells, but also for keeping them hydrated and pH balanced.

It is recommended that if you are going to be living healthy life, you should use a rebounder (mini trampoline) for at lease ten minutes a day.

By simply using this device on a daily basis, can provide more health benefits for your cells than almost any other form of exercise.

A rebounder stimulates every single cell in your body simultaneously.

It also stimulates the immune system and is amazingly effective in cleansing toxins out of the cells. The rebounder is said to be the most incredible exercise device made by man.

If you are going to be living a healthy life, you must stop putting toxins in your body!

If you stop doing the things that are causing your symptoms and disease, then you have in effect “cured” yourself.

Most medical practitioners won’t tell you this, because their interest is to have you coming back to them as often as possible to sell you more drugs to suppress the symptoms.

So, in concluding this article on living a healthy lifestyle, let me summarize:

The best way to get rid of any and all illness and disease that you may be suffering from, and prevent them from recurring. Also to slow down or potentially reverse the aging process is to do the following:
1. Get rid of all the toxins that have built up in your system.
2. Stop, or at least reduce the toxins entering your body. It is almost impossible to totally prevent toxins from entering our bodies, but we can drastically reduce the amount.
3. We must ensure our elimination systems are clean and not sluggish. That will make the toxins we put in and those develop in our body naturally are getting out freely and quickly.
4. We are to make sure we are getting adequate amounts of nutrition in the various forms such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, co-factors, and life-sustaining “energy”.
5. Make an effort to reduce or neutralize the electromagnetic energy attacking our body’s energy fields and cells.
6. Do everything to reduce stress
7. Understand that our mind, and thoughts and words can create a healthy alkaline body pH, and actually change the way out body genetically defective DNA structures into normal healthy DNA structures.
Remember, living good healthy is our responsibility.

The choices we make every day determine the quality of our health.

Healthy Living – Are You Obsessed With Your Health?
[ad_1]

When it comes to health, most of us are merely trying to do the very best we can. We take note of how we are currently feeling and are striving to one-up how we feel as time goes on. We exercise, make changes to our diet plan, and look after our sleep needs. So, one should think we are on track to optimal success.

However, could you be too concerned about your health? For some people, this is a genuine concern: call it health OCD if you want, or call it anxiety. If you spend too much time looking at and researching your state of health and how you should feel, you may have a problem on your hands as incidents of acute stress affects your body and in a measurable way…

1. How To Spot Trouble. First, let us talk about how to spot trouble when it may be starting. The thing about being overly health conscious is usually you do not even realize you have a problem until it is too late and you have a full-blown anxiety disorder.

Some of the signs you may be becoming obsessed with your health include…
- you are always feeling stressed about your health and wondering why you are not feeling better.
- you visit the doctor complaining of symptoms that fail to exist.
- people around you often tell you not to worry so much.
- when the doctor advises you there is no health issue, it does not ease your anxiety.
- when you hear of a disorder in someone else, you begin researching it and may eventually come to believe you have it as well.
- you have trouble resting easy after tests have been taken, and you cannot focus on your usual life until you know the results.
If you are experiencing even a few of these symptoms, this is not something to take lightly.

2. What To Do About Your Anxiety. What do you do if you do spot yourself in some of the above points?
- first, talk to a friend. Ask them if they have noticed you becoming overly concerned with having different diseases. If they have, then there could be an issue at hand.
- next, consider consulting a psychological counselor. Talk to someone trained in dealing with this type of problem. You may need professional help to get past it.
- finally, practice stress controlling tactics. Stress-busting techniques often work for combating anxiety too, so the two can go hand in hand. The selection of methods to relieve pressure is somewhat personal.
Common health concerns when you are genuinely ill is nothing to stress over as there is a built-in level of stress when recovering from an illness. It is when you become consumed with negative thoughts about your health you could find you have a significant problem.

Itchy Penis: Will Shaving Cure Pubic Lice?

[ad_1]

Pubic lice. Crabs. Genital parasites. Whatever one calls them, they all mean one thing: an embarrassingly itchy penis that necessitates refraining from sexual congress. As penis health issues go, pubic lice are more of a n annoyance than a crisis. Aside from the itchy penis, they may bring about a fever and a feeling of fatigue; and as with any itch situation, scratching too much and too intensely can result in an infection. But otherwise, pubic lice are just a pest.

Shaving

Some men recommend shaving the pubic hair as a way of getting rid of pubic lice. But is this really the best approach?

On one hand, shaving the hair around the penis and balls does make sense. Pubic lice get their name because they tend to live in pubic hair, so getting rid of their “habitat” would seem a good way to get rid of the little buggers themselves. But looking further into the matter reveals this isn’t really the best treatment.

About pubic lice

As the name implies, pubic lice are similar to the lice commonly found on the head. They too are tiny parasites, but pubic lice generally stick to the pubic area – although they can very occasionally migrate to other hairy parts of the body, such as the chest or armpits.

Pubic lice are also called crabs because – well, because they look like crabs. However, they are very small – about one-tenth of an inch, and smaller when young – so it may be difficult to see their crablike shape in some cases. They start out as eggs (called nits), develop into a nymph phase and then transform into adults.

These parasites like to attach themselves to the skin and start feeding. An intense itch often follows.

Treatment

If a person already has lice and they shave their pubic hair, it is possible that some of the lice will be caught up by the razor and disposed of. However, shaving alone is unlikely to catch the majority of the lice, and so shaving by itself is not an effective way to get rid of crabs. (By the way, if a person does shave his crotch while crabs are present, he needs to thoroughly wash the razor with very hot water to help kill the lice and send them down the drain. He should then dispose of the razor, in the event that any lice have remained on it.)

While shaving is not an effective way of killing pubic lice, it can be helpful in preventing crabs from infesting. With no pubic hair, they are easier to spot and to target for treatment. And less hair also makes it easier to apply medications aimed at killing the parasites.

Fortunately, there are several over-the-counter remedies for pubic lice that can be purchased at most drug stores. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends either a lotion with an ingredient called permethrin or a mousse with pyrethins and piperonyl butoxide. There are also prescription lotions and shampoos which a doctor can recommend.

Often eggs may be left after treatment and may need to be removed manually.

Clothing, bedsheets and towels should be washed thoroughly to kill any lice which may have fallen off the body.

Even after ridding the body of pubic lice, a guy may still have an itchy penis for a while. Utilizing a top drawer penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) may be helpful. The best cremes help to moisturize delicate penis skin, which can ease the itchy feelings. Look for a crème with both a high end emollient (such as shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). Strengthening the skin can also help, so the crème should also include a powerful antioxidant, such as alpha lipoic acid. This helps fight free radicals that can otherwise cause oxidative damage to the skin.

Health Foods – That May Not Be So Healthy

[ad_1]

When it pertains to weight loss, a one-size-fit-all diet plan does not have great results. This is far more important considering that although some could be fine and also wholesome, they can on the other hand be detrimental for several individuals.

However, you will find lots of individuals who assume that since a food item is considered "healthy" and "good" suggests that they are totally free to eat just as much of it as they would like while not having any sort of consequence.

The argument regarding which food is good or not will possibly remain a never-ending one. There seem to be lots of divisive beliefs cropping up now and again. Having said that, there are particular things which just about everyone accept are not ideal whenever you might be looking to reduce weight as well as live a healthy life.

Exactly how bad any particular food item may be thought to be is debatable considering that any food item could be eaten in moderation without it having any kind of negative effect upon the individual.

It's thus essential to take into account the overall quality as well as effects of some of the foodstuffs that you are eating just as much as you like right now while you may be reasoning that they would have zero influence upon your weight loss endeavors.

It is quite astonishing to notice many individuals eat so much highly processed foods thinking that they are truly nutritious for them.

Below are a number of common foods men and women are eating trusting that they're eating wholesome foods.

Salad Dressings

Whereas the salad by itself is known as a way of consuming a healthy and balanced food, the dressing applied can nevertheless make it totally "harmful." Plenty of the regular salad dressings contain a whole lot of sugar and used primarily vegetable oils including canola or soy oil. These kinds of toppings easily help to make the salad as harmful as the other foods the individual could be avoiding.

You could as an alternative dress your salads by using olive or vinegar oil. You could also look for a number of the far healthier salad dressings that don't have added preservatives, vegetable oils and sweeteners.

Conventional Soy

All soy contains high quantities of phytoestrogens which many experts dispute to be either wholesome or unhealthy. At the same time, most conventional soy is mostly genetically improved and therefore raises a whole lot of wellness and safety questions. Try and keep soy intake to a minimum and also opt for the organic and whole food variants.

Yogurt

The majority of classic yogurts tend to be filled with lots of artificial sweeteners and / or sugar. The homemade yogurt or the ones that you are able to get from fresh milk from a local ranch are often very nourishing. Make use of Greek yogurt or get a very good high-quality organic plain yogurt then include your own preferred toppings.

Whole Wheat Bread

Thinking about it, wheat isn't truly that much of a wholesome meal. So, including the "whole" to it isn't going to essentially make it any better. Many of these kinds of food items include added quantities of sugar, oils, and also other unnatural ingredients. However, you can minimize the amount of the gluten or wheat which you consume in your diet.

Diet Drinks

This is yet another hugely controversial topic seeing that a number of people claim that the synthetic sweeteners they possess are usually worse compared to sugar. Then again, there are some data that are suggesting that they do have an indirect impact on weight addition. Drinking them in moderation is okay but remember that they will be replacing several much better beverage options including coffee, tea, or even pure water. Therefore think twice.

Be SMARTER, With Your Health!

[ad_1]

Since, it’s nearly impossible, to fully enjoy your life, if you don’t have your health, doesn’t it make sense, to proceed, in your own, best interests? There are many choices, and decisions, each of us, make, on a regular basis, so, we should, focus, on being, consistently, SMARTER, when it comes to our health, and well – being. Although this may seem obvious, most of us, pay very little attention to it! With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and why, it’s a wise choice, to proceed, in this manner.

1. Strengths/ stronger; symptoms; solutions: We can either, proceed, in a proactive manner, or wait, to get sick, and then, try to cure what ails us!

How TRAVEL Helps Your Health?

[ad_1]

From time, to time, nearly everyone, occasionally, feels, their routine, has become a rut, and need, to escape, a little, in order to reduce stress, anxiety, and, thus, enhance their personal health, and well – being. One great way, to do so, is commit, to regularly, TRAVEL, and, escape, in a positive way. It’s more about, enjoying life, to its fullest, instead of constantly, focusing, and being concerned about, one’s work schedule, and routine. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what the opportunities, and advantage, of this mind – set, and behavior, might be, in terms of making you happier, and healthier.

1. Thoughts: Begin with your personal thought processes. When one travels, and gets away, from the stresses and strains, of every – day experiences, and responsibilities, he must first, do all he can, to clear his mind, and live, in the moment. When one does this, it generally, invigorates, and vitalizes him, in a positive, refreshing way!

2. Reasoning; rationale: Adjusting your attitude, and attention, and transforming your reasoning, to making yourself, more relaxed, and comforted, your rationale, becomes your friend, instead of a potential enemy!

3. Attitude; attention: What we pay attention to, and prioritize, often, determines, whether, we will proceed, with a positive, can – do, attitude, instead of a negative, problems – oriented one! Our focus, often needs, some adjustments, and taking some time off, generally, is beneficial!

4. Views; value; values; vitality: Examine your personal views, and strive for greater vitality. Will you commit to maintaining attention to your finest values, rather than taking, some path, of least resistance? We often tend, to take ourselves, for – granted, and, it is important to value, what we are, and/ or, our personal potential. This often becomes challenging, because, we get so, tied – up, with our every – day stresses, and struggles. Occasionally, getting away, helps relieve these discomforts! Traveling should enhance our personal vitality, in a personally, fulfilling, motivating manner!

5. Enjoyment: Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to you, if you strove for personal enjoyment, instead of, merely, getting into a rut, which makes you less fulfilled?

6. Levels you: In order to handle, the obstacles and challenges, which may, create a degree of less than optimal balance, it means, focusing on doing things, which level, you, and make you feel better, and more personally fulfilled!

Commit to self – help, by taking the time to TRAVEL. Wouldn’t you want, to become, the best, you can possibly, be?

Why Sleep Is So Powerful For Mental Health

[ad_1]

In this fast-paced western society we are constantly connected and available 247, we have information flowing into us on a daily basis and there’s an increasing expectation for us to respond instantly. Given all of this, there a growing need for us to be operating or functioning in terms of our mental health not just at ‘normal’ or ‘acceptable’ levels, but ‘optimal’ levels.

Optimal means we are functioning at the highest levels mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, such that we’re able to cope well with the demands of life. If we are operating at sub-optimal level, it’s much harder for us to perform even the basic of life’s functions.

So how do we ensure our health and wellbeing levels are what they should be?

One key contributory factor for long-term mental health and wellness is to ensure we have 7-9 hours of good quality sleep per night.

Repair

Sleep repairs the body. This has a positive knock-on effect to how you function cognitively the next and following days. When we sleep, we sleep in cycles of 60-90 minutes. During that time we oscillate between deep (so-called delta) sleep where the body repairs itself and the lighter REM sleep.

Recall

REM (rapid-eye-movement) sleep, or lighter sleep, moves information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. This helps you to better recall information you absorb on a daily basis. It is during this REM phase of sleep that your eyes move rapidly from side to side (hence the name) and that you dream.

Rhythm

Getting to bed at the right time (ideally 10pm) and getting the right amount of sleep every night keeps your circadian rhythm in check. Your circadian rhythm is your natural body clock that gives you signals when it’s time for you to sleep and when it’s time for you to wake up. Working shift patterns (especially night shifts) can knock this out of balance which can have major consequences not only for your mental and physical health but also for your gut health.

Lack of good quality sleep means that instead of being fully awake and energised during the day, you may find yourself sleepy, sluggish and unable to focus for any significant length of time. In addition, when you’re in bed at night you may feel ‘tired and wired’ (meaning your body is physically tired, but your mind is wide awake and you’re therefore unable to sleep).

Melatonin, the hormone that prepares your body for sleep, and serotonin (your awake hormone) need to be in balance for you to function at your best in the day. This means melatonin kicks in naturally from around 9pm (to help you sleep) until about 7am when serotonin is released to take you through the day. When this melatonin, serotonin cycle is in balance you are fully awake during the day and sleepy at night (when you should be). This in turn means you get a better night’s sleep.

Immune Booster

So never underestimate the power of sleep if you value your health and wellbeing. Good quality sleep not only helps us function more effectively, it also boosts our immune system, helping us to stave off viruses and other infections that we would more easily catch with an inferior level and quality of sleep.

Sleep is therefore one of the fundamental pillars of amazing health and wellbeing. Without it we may over time find ourselves not only operating under par but opening ourselves up to chronic exhaustive conditions such as ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, or fibromyalgia. These conditions can be debilitating and could, if not kept in check, leave us either bed bound or wheelchair bound.

So a key way to look after your mental health over the long term is to ensure that you not only get your 7-9 hours but that you ensure that you go to bed at the right time to increase your chances of getting a much better night’s sleep.

Does Tiger Balm Cure Nail Fungus?

[ad_1]

The fungus “Candida” is present in all our bodies.

Under certain circumstances, it can become rooted in different locations or organs, spreading as if it were an “infection”. This infection is made visible through the presence of “white” discharge or some other infected material (in the case of the toes, a yellowing of the nail).

Candidiasis is the “infection” state of the fungus – affecting everything from dandruff to having vaginal candida discharge.

Whilst nothing wrong from a purely health perspective, the underlying condition is often unsightly, and can lead to further complications if not treated.

Most pertinently, the infection will likely not go on its own. This means if you have Athlete’s foot (another form of Candidiasis), or some other Candida-based infection, you’ll typically have to work hard yourself on cleaning it up.

Solutions are actually quite bountiful… “Tiger Balm” (a more powerful Vicks Vapour Rub) being one of them.

Firstly, the important thing to note is that there are two types of Candidal infection. You can either get a growth on the surface of the skin, or it can be embedded inside the skin. The type you have determines the remedy.

Secondly, ALL Candida responds in the same way to the various remedies. The only difference lies in accessing the root cause of the problem. If you have an embedded infection, it will typically require direct access through the surface layer of skin (hence why the likes of laser treatment is used for Toenail fungus).

The point is that if you’re able to access the infection (it’s either on the surface of the skin or close), you can apply active ingredient straight to it. In the case of the “cottage cheese” type substance for most fungal infections, this means you can apply the likes of anti-dandruff shampoo, yoghurt or “Vicks Vapour Rub” to essentially kill off the fungal spores. This will be quick and painless.

If you have an embedded infection (heels / toenails / vagina), you need to be careful with what you end up doing. Specifically, if the infection is under the surface of the skin, you have to remove the top layer in order to hit the fungus directly. This is where the likes of Tiger Balm comes in.

Tiger Balm is nothing special. It’s just a more powerful Vicks Vapour Rub without the Eucalyptus. The most important thing is that it’s potent. Really potent. And it hurts.

The cream basically tricks the brain into “numbing” the pain receptors on your body. It creates an “ice heat” – GREAT for muscle injuries, but basically means that you should expect some discomfort from using it (look up Tiger Balm on YouTube for more info).

To this end, if you want to get rid of a Toe nail infection with it, you first need to be able to get rid of the surface layer of the nail. This is best done by filing, or can be done by applying a cream to soften the nail before trying to pick off all the infected layers on the top.

Once you’ve removed the “crusty” layer of the nail, you should then be using the likes of Tiger Balm to kill off the infection directly. Again, this may hurt but you need to be absolutely stoic in its application – put it all over the nail so it will get rid of it entirely. If it works, the new nail that forms should be entirely “fungus free”.
