How Do I Get My Wife Off Drugs?

Archive for January, 2010

Chances are someone close to you such as your friend, mother, wife, sister or even yourself has been touched by breast cancer in one way or another. That’s why it is so important that we never give up fighting for a cure.

Finding a cure is not impossible, but it is definitely a long, hard battle. Raising funds for the technology for early diagnosis, treatments options, and breast cancer research is vital. Education and support to breast cancer patients is also crucial for survival. That’s why the Royal Canadian Mint has produced its second color circulation coin to help support the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

This special 25-cent piece coin entitled “Creating a Future Without Breast Cancer,” displays a colored pink ribbon in its center, with three additional silver ribbons around the border. As the Royal Canadian Mint says, this coin was created as “A tribute to courage [and] a symbol of Hope.” Thirty-million coins began their circulation in Canada on April 1, 2006.

The coins are being circulated across Canada, and Canadian shoppers could receive one as a pleasant surprise in their change at their local Shoppers Drug Mart. They can also be purchased directly from the Royal Canadian Mint’s website.

However, The Breast Site, an information portal on the topic of breast health and breast cancer decided to offer 1000 coins, one to every individual U.S. reader, who didn’t have access to the coins. On June 8, 2006 The Breast Site launched its Pink Ribbon Coin Promotion, offering the breast cancer coin to its U.S. readers for a limited time as a symbol of hope.

Well, I’m happy to announce that The Breast Site has officially sent out its 1000th pink ribbon coin! We’d like to thank every reader who filled out the online form to receive their very own free breast cancer coin. Only 1000 coins were available, so hopefully you were one of the lucky recipients who submitted your form before the 1000th coin was sent today.

Amie Cunningham, a writer for thebreastsite.com who also worked on the team that mailed out the Pink Ribbon coins says, “It was so great to see so many men and women of all ages taking advantage of this special opportunity! It’s too bad that there were only 1000 coins available, because there were many applicants who submitted after the last coin was sent.”

Editors at The Breast Site urge readers to continue to check back for other great promotions that the site plans to introduce in the future. Cunningham notes, “The very first Breast Site newsletter will be launched in the very near future.”

Substance abuse prevention speakers take the topic seriously, but sometimes I wonder just how many others do? I suppose as a substance abuse prevention speaker who knows the pain and torment personally from an experiential level, I am more apt to see the danger in substance abuse and drunk driving.

I grew up the son of a mother (a former high school cheerleader and honor graduate) who was an alcoholic and substance abuser. As a child I saw my beloved mother self-destruct and torment my grandparents as a result of alcoholism and using every drug imaginable. Ironically, my mother (a former drunk driver herself) was killed when crossing the road as a pedestrian when an 18 year-old drunk driver hit her – killing her on impact.

Dead on arrival, police awaited the return of the young drunk driver who left the scene of the accident. Upon returning, the police video (which I later painfully watched) showed the young man crying and screaming, “I can’t live with this on my mind!”

As a former lifeguard and fitness trainer I don’t drink alcohol to this day. Yet I don’t condemn those who do and kindly serve as the designated driver whenever anybody close to me drinks.

After a childhood of pain and hell as a result of substance abuse and drunk driving, I myself was hit and nearly killed in July 2008 by a drunk driver (a two-time DUI offender driving after her license was revoked). The 61 year-old lady barreling down the road in a large Chevy truck, driving drunk at 4:40PM on a Tuesday afternoon, hit my car repeatedly (completely totaling it and nearly killing me) without stopping, attempting to flee the scene of the accident, after which she hit and totaled a parked car before being arrested by police.

For nearly five months I drove numerous rental cars, while battling my insurance company to be financially compensated to purchase a replacement vehicle for my automobile totaled by the negligible drunk driver. Even worse I spent days and nights in hospitals and doctors’ offices receiving medical treatment after the accident for injuries, which still cause me pain and trouble to this day. The added stress and strain medically and financially also negatively affected my marriage, as logistically my wife and I shared the one vehicle the drunk driver totaled.

Personally encountering the crooked and fraudulent business practices of tow truck companies, medical professionals, insurance claims adjusters, and car salesmen added additional aggravation and suffering to my life at a time when I was most vulnerable.

Nevertheless I somehow persevered and battled through it all to stand tall, becoming a voice of conscience to substance abusers, drunk drivers, they who prey on victims of catastrophic accidents, and those suffering through seasons of tragedy turning their world upside down.

I guess God spared my life so I can speak to others.

5. Beware of overtraining!

 

 

I am seized by great melancholy when I see so many fitness enthusiasts paying the heavy price tag carried by overtraining.

 

So much effort,persistence and sweat in vain!

 

They just follow their instinct only to get betrayed.

 

Ovetraining will cannibalize your hard efforts together with your muscle tissue.

 

All you fervent admirers of the Iron God,take care!

Showing prejudice in one field will harm you.

 

Include some cardio activity in your program,preferably anaerobic interval training which will respect your muscles and additionally boost yor metabolism.

 

 

8. Include static stretching in your routine and after your workouts.For many people it seems like an unnecessary luxury but as they get older they will be thankful for their prudence.

 

 

9.Take care of your nutrition which should be supportive of your training plans and not undermine them.

While the majority of women want bigger, fuller breasts, let’s face it: most men don’t. Few men are comfortable with a womanly bosom – unless it belongs to their wife or girlfriend – and passing a a big ole pair of man boobs off as “large pecs” just doesn’t cut the mustard.

So if you’re among the estimated 20 – 30 percent of men who would like to get a least a little something off their chest, look no further. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life wearing layer upon layer of clothing on the beach or taping down your secret assets. There are ways to make your man boobs disappear, forever. Let’s just hope you don’t miss them when they’re gone…

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the medical term for the condition of having man boobs, or male breasts, which is characterized by either excess glandular tissue, fat or a combination of the two. The reasons for this phenomenon, which interestingly can occur in one or both breasts and can even cause milk secretion in newborn boys, are many. They include:
Puberty. Boys in the throes of puberty often have what they fear is a pert pair of man boobs, but what is actually just a normal aspect of male development. So if you’re still a teen don’t fret: 75 percent of teens with man boobs (boy boobs?) will have flat chests by the time they reach adulthood, and probably won’t find themselves furtively shopping for a bra at Wal-Mart in a few years.
Prescribed medications. Side effects of specific drugs, from anti-depressants to even some allergy pills, can sometimes cause male breasts to swell.
Hyperthyroidism, a thyroid condition when too much of certain hormones are produced.
Steroid abuse. Ever wondered why some bodybuilders have what is referred to as “bitch tits”?
Deficiency of testosterone, the male hormone.
Smoking too much marijuana (no, really!).
Gilbert’s Syndrome. This is a relatively harmless disorder of the liver and man boobs are just one symptom. You would need to undergo blood testing to determine if you have the condition.
Klinefelter Syndrome. Men with this condition have an extra XXY chromosome, instead of the usual XY. Its characteristics also include infertility, wispy facial hair, small testicles.
Aging. Our age plays a big role in how we look, including drooping and sagging of the skin, which is why about 30 percent of older men have man boobs. Hopefully, by the time you develop age-related male breasts you’ll be old enough – or mature enough – not to care. If Jack Nicholson can parade shirtless to the paparazzi, can’t you?
Genetics. Ever wondered why your relatives always said you resemble your Great Uncle “Betty” so much?
Kidney failure.

Saying Goodbye to Your Moobs Naturally

There are two medical classifications of man boobs. Breast tissue in men due mostly to obesity, or even being mildly overweight, is termed “pseudogynecomastia”, or male lipomastia. This type of gynecomastia can usually be resolved by reducing total body fat and/or doing exercises which target the chest area, aiming to improve the pectoral muscles.

Here are some tried-and-tested natural methods to get rid of man boobs that are a result of pseudogynecomastia:
Eat a diet that is low in sugar and fat.
Steer clear of certain of certain oily fish which contain high levels of estrogen, such as tuna and mackerel (some, people however, say this will have no effect).
Do cardio-aerobic exercises as well as weight-lifting, press-ups, bench lifts etc, which concentrates on the pectoral muscles.
Avoid any supplement containing artificial zinc.
Drink plenty of water, but only mineral water that is free of hormones.

Note: There are many herbal supplements on the market today that promise to target the fatty cells in the male breasts, or what often makes man boobs man boobs. The jury is out about whether they work or not, so buy at your own risk.

Saying Goodbye to Your Moobs Through Surgery

If your man boobs are still perky and proud after following a dedicated exercise plan and a healthy diet, you might want to try surgery. The most widely used surgical intervention for pseudogynecomastia, is liposuction.

This procedure is fairly straightforward. Your surgeon will make several small incisions in your breast and use a thin tube called a cannula to suck away the excess fat, which is removed through a suction-pump type device (if you think it sounds nasty, you’re right). Lipo can be done using either a local or general anesthesia, depending on what you and your surgeon together decide. Always use a board-certified surgeon with plenty of experience minimizing male breasts for best results.

However, if your excess breast tissue is composed primarily of glandular tissue, then you have what is called true gynecosmastia. This type of man boobs usually occurs due to excess hormones or genetics. Remember, however, that even true gynecomastia that starts at puberty will probably reverses itself within a few years, so if you’re 15 and sporting a pair of knockers that will comfortably fill a DD-cup, wait a few years before you panic.

If your male mammaries are the result of excess glandular tissue and are not going away on their own or through diet and exercise, excision may be your best choice. In this case, the surgeon must remove the glandular tissue by cutting it off, as opposed to through liposuction, because it is too dense and fibrous to be suctioned away as fatty tissue.

Excision is also preferable when there is a lot of excess skin to be removed, in addition to the glandular tissue (in order for the breasts to appear natural, it may be necessary to reposition the nipple, or reduce the areola). Occasionally, however, excision is done alongside liposuction as well. Be prepared for scars, although they usually fade in time.

Learning to Live with Man Boobs

While the vast majority of us are unhappy with something about the way we look, some people find that what they consider to be a physical defect starts to take over their lives, chipping away at their self-esteem and making them unhappy with their existence in general.

If you’re finding that turning into a Dolly Parton lookalike is hindering your love life or impeding your job prospects, it may be time to visit a surgeon. Think long and hard before making the step, as it may be worth making an appointment with a therapist first. Some men with man boobs learn to embrace and love them for what they are, as they make them, well, unique. And think of all the tips you could get if you land a job at Hooter’s!

Thanks for the mammaries…

The information in the article is not intended to substitute for the medical expertise and advice of your health care provider. We encourage you to discuss any decisions about treatment or care with an appropriate medical professional.

 

1. You have to use a plan–even an elementary one–for your weight training routines. Otherwise you will be like a blind in a dark tunnel! If you don’t have a plan then all the routes are the same.

What is your main objective?

- Muscle mass maintenance?
- Muscle hypertrophy?
- Strength or endurance,etc?

You will need different approaches to fulfil each one of them!
So,what is your plan?

2.Keep weight training among your most important priorities until the end!

You will be lavishly rewarded for your persistence.
No other form of training can have a more profound impact on your fitness level,health and quality of life,especially as the years pass!

3. Details are good but you had better stick to the basics,especially if you are an amateur weight trainer:

- Perform not more than 2-3 workouts per week. Keep them short–20 to 30 minutes each– but really intense. Use a high training volume.

- Use mainly compound exercises and avoid isolation ones. There is a bigger interest for this kind of your time investment. Isolation exercises are like keeping your money in the safe!

- Leave split workouts for the experienced bodybuilders and go for total body workouts.

- Use progressive overload and aim for a continual progress or else you are certain to retreat!

- Give priority to an impeccable style over bigger and bigger weights. Remember:showing off is harmful!

-Try to avoid possible plateaus by varying your routines every now and then.

- Avoid any kind of supplements. Don’t force your results! There are imminent dangers that you cannot even think of! Be patient and results will follow.

All that said,with some self-motivation you can have outstanding results by training at home( gym is optional!)

4. If you need to play,play with something else and not with  weights. Forget about the pink stories with 5kg dumbbells. You need to tax your muscular system decently if you want to elicit desirable results.

If you are afraid that you will bulk up, relax! I can guarantee that you will not if you are drug and dubious supplement-free. And this is especially valid for female weight trainers!

5. Beware of overtraining!

I am seized with great melancholy when I see so many fitness enthusiasts paying the heavy price tag carried by overtraining.
So much effort,persistence and sweat in vain!
They just follow their instinct only to be betrayed at last.
Ovetraining will cannibalize your hard efforts together with your muscle tissue.
All you fervent admirers of the Iron God,take care!

6. Do not neglect symmetry issues or do it at an unbearable cost.
Especially do not neglect your lower body.
Train all your muscle evenly. This will protect you from serious,both aesthetical and functional problems.
Do not show preferential treatment to any part of your body!

7. Do not indulge only in weights!

Sleepwalking in adults is a somewhat ‘different critter’ than sleepwalking in children.  The causes are generally different, and so are the behaviors.  Kids seldom exhibit dangerous behavior while sleep walking.  Adult sleepwalkers, on the other hand, are likely to perform very hazardous activities during their late night forays.  

It’s estimated that, as many as 30% of kids will experience at least one sleepwalking episode.  By the late teens, most of them will have stopped sleepwalking, although a small percentage of these children will continue sleepwalking as grown-ups.

Sleepwalking in adults can onset at any time, from the late teens, even up into the 70’s.  There are numerous possible causes for sleepwalking in adults…and once in awhile, adult sleepwalking can be diagnosed as idiopathic…NO!  That does not mean you’re an idiot, it’s a medical term meaning, “we were unable to determine the cause!” 
The #1 most common cause of sleepwalking in adults is stress or anxiety. Mental, emotional, even physical stress can trigger sleepwalking events.  I have suffered from occasional sleep walking episodes all my life.  A couple of my very most horrible,  dangerous, sleepwalk incidents occurred during one of the worst periods of stress in my life.  My boss (a doctor) had been arrested at the office in front of patients, thrown in jail, and we couldn’t get him out.  I was trying to be supportive of his wife and small children.  My job was going to be gone soon.  He left us with a horrible legal mess to untangle, while we had to deal with the FBI, CID of the Inspector General’s Office, and various other federal and state agencies.  An FBI agent following you around the office, while holding his hand on his gun…is more than a little scary! You get the picture…talk about being in the stress zone!  (And in case you wondered, no, I didn’t get in any trouble—he did what he did, four years prior, before I even worked for him!)

That whole ordeal dragged out for 3 or 4 months.  During that time frame, I had numerous sleepwalking episodes, some of them pretty serious.  One night, I placed a crossword puzzle book and pen in the microwave oven, and set it for 20+ minutes.  The metal point of the pen actually melted into the glass tray.  Another time, I burned myself with an overheated microwave heat pack.  On the funny side, there was the night I put several slices of bread in the bathroom sink, and filled it with water.

In addition to stress, many other things can lead to sleepwalking in adults.

Genetics are another common cause.  It is believed that individuals with close relatives who sleepwalk are about ten times more likely to sleepwalk than the general population.  

Hormonal Changes during adolescence, pregnancy, PMS, and menopause can be a trigger for sleepwalking.

Alcohol or Drug Use/Abuse often causes sleepwalking events, sometimes with strange or embarrassing behavior.

Sleep Deprivation is another common cause of sleepwalking in adults and children.

New Surroundings, such as visiting overnight with a friend or relative, staying at a hotel, or moving into a new home can cause a person to sleep walk.

Some medical conditions and medications are known to cause sleepwalking.  Quite often people who sleepwalk also suffer from other sleep disorders.

Sleepwalking in adults can be hazardous to your health, and life.  People have been seriously injured, even killed while sleepwalking.  In some extreme cases, sleepwalkers have committed serious crimes, even murder.

In many cases, it is possible to stop adult sleepwalking.  New treatments in recent years have helped many people who suffer from this disorder.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on October 17, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri. His stage name is Eminem (both of his initials put together) and has established himself as one of the most talented, but also one of the most controversial, rappers of this era. Mathers is both a Grammy and Oscar award-winner.

Mathers was raised in Warren, Michigan, and his early years in that city inspired his film, titled 8 Mile. The majority of his childhood was spent moving back and forth between St. Joseph, Missouri and Detroit, Michigan. His father deserted the family when Mathers was 15 months old, which did not help his family’s financial situation. Thus, Mathers and his family were forced to move constantly from home to home and community to community, which conceivably left him finding himself to be an outcast in new neighborhoods and schools.

Mathers had a shaky relationship with his mother, Debbie Mathers. In multiple interviews, he has stated that his mother abused drugs, in addition to accusing her of having Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a disorder in which the sufferer feigns or exaggerates symptoms of illnesses to gain attention, treatment, or sympathy. Though he did not have very affectionate feelings for his mother, he was especially close to his uncle, Ronald Dean “Ronnie” Polkingharn, who would become Mathers’s best friend. It was Polkingharn, who first introduced Mathers to hip hop. In 1991, Polkingharn committed suicide, which would leave Mathers devastated, so much so that he would abandon his musical aspirations for a year.

Upon failing ninth grade for his third time, Mathers would drop out of Lincoln High School at the age of 17, but not before meeting his future ex-wife Kimberly Ann “Kim” Scott and befriending the late rapper Proof, who would become his best friend. In 1995, Kim gave birth to Hailie Jade Scott, Mathers’ first and only child. Hailie is mentioned in several of Mathers’ hit singles, including “Hailie’s Song,” “Mockingbird,” and “When I’m Gone”.

Mathers, began performing at the young age of 13 and would make a name for himself as a young adult in the hip-hop underground, thanks in part to his unique style, lyrical content, as well as being white in a predominantly black genre. With his underground status gaining momentum thanks to countless rap battles and the release of his first independent album, Infinite, Mathers would eventually be discovered by rapper-producer Dr. Dre. With Dr. Dre in his corner as producer, Mathers would release his debut studio album, The Slim Shady LP, in 1999. At the end of the year, the album reached triple platinum status, thanks to hit singles such as, “My Name Is,” “97 Bonnie and Clyde,” and “Guilty Conscience.” Mathers’ album would also win Best Rap Album at the 2000 Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Solo Performance for “My Name Is”.

Mathers would follow up his successful debut, with The Marshall Mathers LP, which would go on to become an even bigger success debuting at the top of U.S. and U.K. album charts and achieving Diamond status (10 million copies sold) in the U.S. and selling 21 million worldwide. The album, which includes hit singles, “The Real Slim Shady,” “The Way I Am”, and “Stan,” would also win Best Rap Album, in addition to Best Rap Solo Performance for “The Real Slim Shady” honors at the 2001 Grammy Awards.

Mather’s next album, The Eminem Show, which includes hit singles, “Without Me,” “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” and “Sing for the Moment,” also topped U.S. and U.K. music charts during its debut release in the summer of 2002, selling about 19 million copies worldwide. The album would be Mather’s second album to be nominated for the coveted Grammy Award, Album of the Year (the other album being The Marshall Mathers LP). While failing to win Album of the Year honors, Mathers would take home Best Rap Album for the third year in a row.

In November 2002, Mathers made his acting debut with the semi-autobiographical 8 Mile, which would open at the top of the box office its opening weekend and go on to gross over $215,300,000 worldwide and another $130,000,000 in US home video sales. Mathers would also release a soundtrack for the film, 8 Mile Soundtrack, which would also debut at the top of U.S. and U.K. album charts. The album’s lead single, “Lose Yourself” would become an instant hit, winning Best Rap Song at the Grammy Awards, as well as an Oscar for Best Song at the 2002 Academy Awards.

In 2004, Mathers would release Encore, an album that would debut at #1 in both the U.S. and U.K. markets and eventually sell over 11 million copies worldwide. The album has produced hit singles including “Just Lose It,” “Like Toy Soldiers,” and “Mosh.” One year later, Mathers would release a greatest hits collection, Curtain Call: The Hits, which would also debut at the top of music charts in both the U.S. and U.K. The album, which also includes new hit singles, “Shake That” and “When I’m Gone,” to date has sold over 6 million units worldwide.

Till this day, Mathers is revered for his unique ability to change his rap pace and style multiple times within a song, while keeping pace with the beat. Furthermore, his ability to write creative lyrics has earned him much praise from both his fans and music critics alike. However, not everyone appreciates his lyrical content. Some critics like GLAAD have denounced many of his lyrics as being homophobic, misogynistic, and too violent. Despite the public outcries, Mathers has won several Grammy awards, an Oscar, and is revered as one of the top rappers in the industry. He has announced that he is taking a break from his solo career, but not retiring. Mathers continues to produce and collaborate with Shady/Aftermath and G-Unit artists.

Doctors Express, a unique new urgent care treatment concept, plans to open its first Atlanta area facility in Buckhead by early December.  To be located on the ground floor of the new Piedmont West Medical Building at the intersection of I-75 & Howell Mill Road, the facility is owned by local Atlanta residents and business partners Chris and Theone Rutledge.

According to co-owner Chris Rutledge, “The Doctors Express concept has proved successful as a convenient and compassionate alternative to hospital ERs.  Our physicians and medical staff will treat patients with urgent, but non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries, utilizing the very latest in medical technology, including electronic medical records, digital X-rays and an on-site lab. We’ll be able to treat most common illnesses and injuries, from colds and flu to fractures and sprains and everything in between.  In addition, we’ll be a reliable, accessible source for drug screenings, employment and sports physicals, occupational medicine, and travel immunizations”   He noted, “Georgia has some of  the longest ER wait times in the United States – a typical wait time is often over four hours.  Emergency Rooms are overloaded, and this can be frustrating for patients, burdensome for ER staff, and costly for both patients and businesses.  Our Doctors Express Urgent Care Center will be able to treat many of those patients often in less than 45 minutes, and at a fraction of the cost.”

Theone, Chris’s wife, added, “As parents of young children who have spent too many hours in emergency rooms, we personally understand the benefit of having a nearby, convenient source for urgent care.  We want to offer the kind of quality care that people will trust and know they can depend on, seven days a week.  Our plan is to staff the center with the kind of people we would want to treat our family:  experienced and compassionate board-certified emergency and family practice physicians supported by a qualified, patient-oriented staff.”

Both Chris and Theone come from successful business backgrounds:  he holds an MBA from the University of Chicago and, as a partner at Accenture, was a management consultant for over 20 years.   Theone holds an MBA in Marketing from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, and worked as a consultant in the healthcare industry and in business development for a technology start-up.  The couple thoroughly vetted several business opportunities before selecting the Doctors Express urgent care franchise concept.  According to Chris, “We believe that people requiring immediate medical treatment need another option for when their primary care doctor can’t see them right away and the ER is backed up.”

Their Doctors Express facility is nearing completion, and will begin treating patients in early December.  The center will be open seven days a week with extended hours.  No appointments will be necessary, and most insurance plans will be accepted.

KILL  THE  CANCER  RIGHT  AWAY

Dear Friend

Cancer, for instance, strikes anyone of any age,
and of any race or social background.  Cancer will
find you whether you lead a healthy or unhealthy
lifestyle; whether you’re physically fit or out of
shape; whether you exercise regularly or are a
couch potato; whether you’re rich or poor, male or
female; whether you’re a vegetarian, pescetarian
or meat lover; and whether you’re an adult,
adolescent or child.

DID YOU KNOW… that 1 out of every 3 adults in
America already has cancer?  But most of them
don’t know it yet because the cancer is
undiagnosed and undetected.  According to the
American Cancer Society, there’s a 41% probability
that an individual, male or female, will develop
cancer in his or her lifetime (or die from it).
Additionally, every human being has cancer cells
existing in the body which are just seeking a
low-oxygen environment where they can multiply
into the full-blown disease.

What if you could reduce your chance of getting cancer
from 41% to zero?  What if you completely removed
all probability that you’ll ever get ANY disease,
for that matter?  And what if you had a way of
curing any disease that you might already have?

“Is that really possible?” you ask.

The answer is a resounding “Yes!”

But you can’t do it simply by eating a healthy diet, or
even by becoming a vegetarian.  Linda McCartney,
the late wife of Paul McCartney was a life-long
vegetarian, who not only campaigned for vegetarianism,
but also wrote a book on vegetarian cooking and
produced a line of frozen vegetarian meals.  Yet,
despite her healthy eating, she died of breast cancer
at the age of 56.  That’s 20 years ahead of the average
life expectancy of American women.

And you can’t become immune from disease simply
by exercising or becoming physically fit.  Some of
the greatest athletes of our time, including 7-time
Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong, Olympic
ice skating champions Scott Hamilton and Peggy
Fleming, and basketball star Magic Johnson, have all
been victims of cancer or HIV.

And no, neither can you prevent or cure disease by
popping a variety of nutrients, super “nutraceuticals,”
vitamins and minerals either.

The absolute best way to eradicate disease from your
life is by supplying the cells and tissues of your body
with its most essential element – and that’s oxygen.

Why?

Because even though your body may need an array of
different elements and nutrients such as CoQ10,
magnesium, Omega-3 fatty acids and the like, only
oxygen is in such critical demand that an insufficient
supply makes the body develop diseases — and it absence
causes the body to die within minutes.

Oxygen creates an environment in the body that enables
the body to CURE ITSELF of virtually all diseases
characterized by viruses, harmful bacteria, toxins,
disease microorganisms and pathogens, including but
not limited to cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, heart disease, ulcers, asthma and many other
types of diseases, including the flu.

But the important key to remember is that
sufficient amounts of oxygen need to be supplied
at the CELLULAR level.  Unless oxygen is delivered
to the cells and tissues of the body, it cannot do
a good job at creating an environment in the body
that is uninhabitable by disease.

Only the simple therapy described in “The One-Minute
Cure” effectively moves oxygen atoms from the
bloodstream to the cells to a dramatically greater
degree than is usually reached by all other means.
That’s why this one-minute cure has been administered
by over 15,000 European doctors, naturopaths and health
practitioners to millions of patients to cure practically
every disease known to man.

They have yet to find a disease that does NOT respond
well to this one-minute cure.  When you self-administer
the easy, painless therapy at home in less than 1 minute,
it instantly floods your cells and tissues with oxygen.  All
disease microorganisms, viruses, microbes and pathogens
die in high-oxygen environments because they are
ANAEROBIC (i.e., they seek out and thrive in
low-oxygen environments).

Your healthy cells, on the other hand, are AEROBIC, which
means that they not only thrive but become
rejuvenated and revitalized in the presence of oxygen,
thereby promoting vibrant health.

All told, the one-minute cure is your best bet for

One General Practitioner found a mean that will be able to help those who wish to become taller ” Dr. Darwin Smith.  It has scientifically been proven that it is attainable to grow taller and will make a lot of people’s wishes come true.  Dr. Darwin Smith founded the Grow Taller for Idiots and is the best person to ask advise from if one wants to become taller as he is very trustworthy and has seen the proven results on his wife.

Dr. Smith decided to create a program and focused all his strengths and efforts to make sure that each and everyone knows the fact in making someone grow taller by increasing the height.  In the Grow Taller idiots program, he has publicized the myths and the scams that make a lot of people use continuously just so they can grow taller.

It only means that a bone growing is never impossible.

This is also pointing to the companies who claim that the treatments they have which are supposedly herbal and homeopathic can enhance the heights of people even if they are already at their 30′s is telling a different thing.  Even if this is so, people still purchase these products to become taller because of desperation.  The truth behind all these is that there is not prescription or drug medications that will ever help in making a bone grow after the fusion of the palates.

Another fact is that you will still be able to enhance your height even after growth has already stopped.  35 percent of our height is made up of our spine according to studies done scientifically.  This just shows that the change of the spinal problems can make you have an increase in height of at least two inches and the maximum of 6 inches.

The Grow Taller for idiots program will help you in the ongoing method of correcting any needless curvature in your spine which could have happened due to poor habits or inherited will thus improve your height by at least two inches.

When following this program, you will also learn how to cure a state of the spine when it’s usually overly compressed.

This state develops due to the thickness of the protective fluid sacs in your spine which is situated on between your vertebrae. This is one thing that will cause you height loss.  The simplest ways of evaluating the result of compression of the spine is what you can learn in the Grow Taller for Idiots program.

If you measure yourself at night and the morning right when you wake up, you will learn that your height becomes 2 inches taller.  This is because of the spinal decompression while being in a horizontal position when sleeping.  This curriculum is a sure guarantee that you will grow taller without any negative side effects and is guaranteed safe.

The newspapers are frequently replete with news about a high-profile domestic violence case where a man or woman is suspected of murdering their wife or husband, with or without a previous history of domestic abuse. How can a person turn from loving and living with a person to beating them up or murdering them? What kind of a person resorts to domestic violence against their spouse or domestic intimate partner? These are some of the questions that come in our mind when we read about such cases.

A common pattern of domestic abuse is that the perpetrator alternates between violent, abusive behavior and apologetic behavior with apparently heartfelt promises to change. Domestic abuse often includes child abuse, abuse of a spouse, abuse of a domestic or intimate partner and elder abuse.

Domestic abuse between intimate partners: Domestic abuse between spouses or intimate partners is when one person in a marital or intimate relationship tries to control the other person. The perpetrator uses fear and intimidation and may threaten to use or may actually use physical violence. Domestic abuse that includes physical violence is called Domestic Voilence.

The victim of domestic abuse or domestic violence may be a man or a woman. Domestic abuse occurs in traditional heterosexual marriages as well as in same-sex partnerships. The abuse may occur during a relationship while the couple is breaking up or after the relationship has ended. The key elements of domestic abuse include intimidation, humiliating the other person and physical injury.

Domestic abuse is not a result of losing control, it is intentionally trying to control another person. The abuser is purposefully using verbal, nonverbal or physical means to gain control over the other person.

Physical abuse of a spouse or intimate partner: Physical abuse is the use of physical force against another person in a way that ends up injuring the person or puts the person at risk of being injured. Physical abuse ranges from physical restraint to murder. When someone talks of domestic violence, they are often referring to physical abuse of a spouse or intimate partner.

Physical abuse includes pushing, throwing, kicking, slapping, grabbing, hitting, punching, beating, tripping, battering, bruising, choking, shaking, pinching, biting, holding, restraining, confinement, breaking bones, assault with a weapon such as a knife or gun, burning and even murder.

Emotional abuse or verbal abuse of a spouse or intimate partner: Mental, psychological or emotional abuse can be verbal or nonverbal. Verbal or nonverbal abuse of a spouse or intimate partner consists of more subtle actions or behaviors than physical abuse. While physical abuse might seem worse, the scars of verbal and emotional abuse are deep. Studies show that verbal or nonverbal abuse can be much more emotionally damaging than physical abuse.

Verbal or nonverbal abuse of a spouse or intimate partner may include the following:

• threatening or intimidating to gain compliance

• destruction of the victim’s personal property and possessions or threats to do so

• violence to an object (such as a wall or piece of furniture) or pet, in the presence of the intended

victim as a way of instilling fear of further violence

• yelling or screaming

• name-calling

• constant harassment

• embarrassing, making fun of or mocking the victim, either alone within the household, in public or in

front of the family or friends

• criticizing or diminishing the victim’s accomplishments or goals

• not trusting the victim’s decision-making

• telling the victim that they are worthless on their own, without the abuser

• excessive possessiveness, isolation from friends and family

• excessive checking-up on the victim to make sure they are at home or where they said they would be

• saying hurtful things while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and using the substance as an

excuse to say the hurtful things

• blaming the victim for how the abuser acts or feels

• making the victim remain on the premises after a fight, or leaving them somewhere else after a fight,

just to “teach them a lesson”

• making the victim feel that there is no way out of the relationship

Sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of a spouse or intimate partner: Sexual abuse includes the following:

• sexual assault: forcing someone to participate in unwanted, unsafe or degrading sexual activity

• sexual harassment: ridiculing another person to try to limit their sexuality or reproductive choices

• sexual exploitation (such as forcing someone to look at pornography or forcing someone to participate in pornographic film-making)

Sexual abuse often is linked to physical abuse; they may occur together or the sexual abuse may occur after a bout of physical abuse.

Stalking: Stalking is harassment of or threatening another person; especially in a way that haunts the person physically or emotionally in a repetitive and devious manner. Stalking of an intimate partner can take place during the relationship, with intense monitoring of the partner’s activities. Stalking can also take place after a partner or spouse has left the relationship. The stalker may be trying to get their partner back or they may wish to harm their partner as punishment for their departure.

Cyberstalking: Cyberstalking is the use of telecommunication technologies such as the Internet or email to stalk another person. Cyberstalking may be an additional form of stalking or it may be the only method the abuser employs. Cyberstalking is deliberate, persistent and personal.

Cyberstalking falls in a grey area of law enforcement. Enforcement of most state and federal stalking laws requires that the victim be directly threatened with an act of violence. Very few law enforcement agencies can act if the threat is only implied.

Economic or financial abuse of a spouse or domestic partner: Economic or financial abuse includes withholding economic resources such as money or credit cards, stealing from or defrauding a partner of money or assets, exploiting the intimate partner’s resources for personal gain, withholding physical resources such as food, clothes, necessary medications or shelter from a partner, preventing the spouse or intimate partner from working or choosing an occupation etc.

Spiritual abuse of a spouse or intimate partner

Spiritual abuse includes the following:

• using the spouse’s or intimate partner’s religious or spiritual beliefs to manipulate them

• preventing the partner from practicing their religious or spiritual beliefs

• ridiculing the other person’s religious or spiritual beliefs

• forcing the children to be reared in a faith that the partner has not agreed to

Domestic Violence in workplace

Domestic violence often plays out in the workplace. For instance, a husband, wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend might make threatening phone calls to their intimate partner or ex-partner. Or the worker may show injuries from physical abuse at home.

The following are the warning signs of domestic abuse in the workplace:

• Bruises and other signs of impact on the skin, with the excuse of “accidents”

• Depression, crying

• Frequent and sudden absences

• Frequent lateness

• Frequent, harassing phone calls to the person while they are at work

• Fear of the partner, references to the partner’s anger

• Decreased productivity and attentiveness

• Isolation from friends and family

• Insufficient resources to live (money, credit cards, car)

Causes of domestic abuse or domestic violence

Individuals living with domestic violence in their households learn that violence and mistreatment are the way to vent anger. For instance, a child’s exposure to his father’s abuse of their mother is one of the factors for transmitting domestic violence from one generation to the next. This cycle of domestic violence is difficult to break because parents have presented violence as the norm.

A person resorts to physical violence because of the following reasons:

• He has solved his problems in the past with violence,

• He has effectively exerted control and power over others through violence, and

• No one has stopped him from being violent in the past.

Some of the immediate causes that can set off a bout of domestic abuse are stress, provocation by the intimate partner, economic hardship such as prolonged unemployment, depression, desperation, jealousy, anger.

Results of domestic violence or abuse: The results of domestic violence or abuse can be very long-lasting. People who are abused by a spouse or intimate partner may develop sleeping problems, depression, anxiety attacks, low self-esteem, lack of trust in others, feelings of abandonment, anger, sensitivity to rejection, diminished mental and physical health, inability to work, poor relationships with their children and other loved ones, substance abuse as a way of coping etc.

Effect of domestic violence on children: Children who witness domestic violence may develop serious emotional, behavioral, developmental or academic problems. As children, they may become violent themselves or withdraw. Some act out at home or school; others try to be the perfect child. Children from violent homes may become depressed and have low self-esteem.

As they develop, children and teens who grow up with domestic violence in the household are more likely to do the following:

• use violence at school or in the community in response to perceived threats

• attempt suicide

• use drugs

• commit crimes, especially sexual assault

• use violence to enhance their reputation and self-esteem

• become abusers in their own relationships later in life.

It is necessary to work out solutions to domestic violence which would include strengthening legal protection for victims of abuse and accountability for abusers. The protective measures for combating domestic violence should be aimed at developing treatment and legal protections to effectively manage the unique issues faced by individuals in abusive relationships.

There are, fortunately, some ways to find discover what the event of ovulating would be. The ‘Post Ovulation Time’ (also termed the Luteal Phase) has to be estimated. This period, i.e., the event between ovulating and the date of commencement of the menstrual cycle, mostly is fixed at 14 life in most women. The mark starts after the length of the Luteal Phase, or 14 life after the occurrence of ovulation. There is an alternative way to find discover the mark of ovulation, which is supported on the Basal Body Temperature method (i.e., the BBT technique).

Marfan Syndrome

History and Explanation

Marfan Syndrome is a genetic, “inherited” disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue. Connective tissue is the tough, fibrous tissue that connects one part of the body with another. It is a major component of tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage, and the walls of large blood vessels. Marfan Syndrome affects one out of every 10,000 newborns. It is one of the most common of the more than one hundred inherited disorders of connective tissue. The disorder affects males and females from all racial and ethnic groups. It is named after Dr. Antoine Marfan, who in France, in 1896, described a five year old patient with unusually long, slender fingers, limbs and other skeletal abnormalities.

The problem in Marfan Syndrome is caused by a mutation (change) in a gene. Genes are segments of DNA that direct the body to produce proteins. In many families with inherited Marfan Syndrome, the mutation affects the FBN1 gene on chromosome 15; although a second gene on chromosome 5 may be involved in some cases. Normally the FBN1 gene enables the body to produce a protein called fibrillin which contributes to connective tissue strength and elasticity. Fibrillin, normally, is especially abundant in the aorta, in the ligaments that hold the eye lens in place, and in bones. Individuals with Marfan Syndrome have scant or faulty fibrillin in these structures which stretch abnormally because of their inability to withstand normal stress. The abnormal gene is usually inherited from one parent who has the disorder. The abnormality is a “dominant” genetic trait, so each child of a parent with the abnormal gene has a 50:50 chance of inheriting it.

For example, my father had Marfan Syndrome which he inherited from his father thus resulting in a normal FBN1 gene and an abnormal FBN1gene in his body. If my father gave me his mother’s normal gene, I would not have had Marfan’s. Since he gave me his father’s abnormal gene, it expresses itself as a dominant gene over my mother’s normal gene. I then, also, have the same opportunity to pass my father’s abnormal gene or my mother’s normal gene, resulting in a 50:50 chance of each of my children inheriting the disorder when combined with my wife’s normal FBN1 gene. As it stands now, one of my three daughters, who is 2 ½ years old, has inherited the disease. One daughter, 5 years old, does not seem to have inherited it and one daughter, 11 months old, we haven’t had tested yet.

On a side note, we have chosen to get life insurance for our children before being tested or officially diagnosed for Marfan Syndrome. My mother did this for me and since being diagnosed, I would not have been able to get life insurance and am not able to increase it. I highly recommend asking your doctor to hold off on an official diagnosis until life insurance is finalized.

In about 25% of diagnosed Marfan cases or 2,500 of Marfan newborns, a genetic accident (new mutation not inherited) occurred in the sperm or egg cell in unaffected parents, thus resulting in a Marfan child. In these cases, reoccurrence risk for related offspring (siblings) is unpredictable, but usually very low.

Features

Because of the inherited problem of producing fibrillin, people with Marfan Syndrome have many different problems related to weakness in connective tissue. These problems include, but are not limited to:

1) Reduced vision – in about 65% of Marfan patients, the lens of the eyes become dislocated because tiny eye ligaments that normally hold the lens in place are weak. This condition is called Ectopia Lentis. Marfan Syndrome also seems to increase the risk of near-sightedness, cataracts at an unusually early age (40-50 years old), glaucoma, detached retina, and crossed eyes. It is generally not recommended for Marfan patients to undergo lasik eye surgery due to tissue frailty and excessive scar tissue.

2) Skeletal abnormalities – patients with Marfan Syndrome are typically very tall, having long limbs and long, slender spider-like fingers. They also may have severe chest deformities, such as a chest that is either caved in or protrudes in front. Some patients may have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and/or flat feet and some may display a high-arched palate in the roof of their mouth and crowded teeth. Many have very loose joints. The skeletal abnormality is frequently what people notice and question first and may be the first clue to a Marfan’s diagnosis.

3) Cardiovascular changes –

a. Weakened connective tissue affects the heart and large blood vessels of people with Marfan Syndrome. This creates the most serious problem associated with the disorder which is weakness of the aorta (the body’s largest artery). Cardiovascular changes affect most individuals with Marfan Syndrome to some degree. Blood pumped from the heart passes forcefully and directly into the aorta which branches out to carry oxygen-rich blood to the entire body. As the walls of the aorta gradually weaken (aortic dilatation), they can split in places allowing blood to leak into the chest, abdomen, or wall of the aorta itself. Sudden large splits can, and often do, result in sudden death. Recent studies have shown that cell death (necrosis) occurs at a much higher rate in Marfan patients which contributes to aortic dilatation or the weakening of the aortic walls.

b. Connective tissue weakness in the heart can also cause mitral valve prolapse (a “floppy” mitral valve or heart valve that doesn’t close properly) resulting in mitral valve regurgitation (a problem in the closing of the mitral valve that results in significant back flow of blood into the left atrium). Heart valves are pairs or trios of flaps that keep the blood flowing in one direction through the heart. Their motion during heart beats may allow brief reverse blood flow (leakage) and can cause a heart murmur.

You may have Marfan Syndrome if you exhibit at least two of these three major criteria: Ocular, Skeletal, or Cardiac. You could also have genetic testing done to determine if the FBN1 gene is abnormal.

Severity

The severity of Marfan Syndrome features varies, meaning that some people with the Syndrome have more serious effects than others. This variability can occur even within one family.

For example, my grandfather lived a very normal life without Marfan complications until an automobile accident ruptured his dilated aorta resulting in immediate death.

My father, on the other hand, was 6’5”, 135 pounds, and very unusual looking, meaning unproportionately long face, very narrow jaw, spidery arms and legs, etc. (this look is called “Marfanoid”). He had severe valve leakage as early as age nine and died a very sick man, at the early age of 40, on the operating table during open heart surgery to replace the aortic valve, mitral valve, and aortic root/ascending aorta.

I don’t look unproportionately unusual, although I am slender with long fingers and toes. I do have the cardiac abnormalities resulting in open heart surgery at the age of 26 to repair my aortic valve, mitral valve, and replace my aortic root/ascending aorta with a Dacron graft.

My older sister, who also has Marfan’s, doesn’t look proportionately unusual and, although being monitored by echocardiograms, does not present herself with the classic cardiovascular abnormalities; meaning all her cardiovascular measurements are currently within normal limits.

Diagnosis

Marfan Syndrome is sometimes difficult to diagnose because the features and severity of the disorder can differ greatly among affected individuals or family members. Also, certain other disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, have features that overlap with those of Marfan Syndrome. In some cases, genetic testing of a blood sample may be recommended to help confirm the diagnosis. Genetic testing is more likely to aid in diagnosis in families with multiple affected members. Genetic testing is frequently unavailable at the average hospital and requires special expertise found at large children’s hospitals or university hospitals.

Your doctor should ask about any family history of Marfan Syndrome, as well as about any family members who are unusually tall and slender and ask if they have vision problems. Your doctor should also ask about any family history of sudden cardiac death resulting from aortic dissection (rupture), especially if this death was attributed to “heart problems”.

Your doctor may suspect Marfan Syndrome based on this family history, your personal history of Ectopia Lentis (dislocated eye lenses), and your physical appearance. The diagnosis can be confirmed if you have an aortic aneurysm (dilated aorta) visible on echocardiography, a painless test that uses sound waves to outline the structure of the heart and its major vessels. The diagnosis will be even more certain if you have other skeletal abnormalities (chest wall deformities or scoliosis) or heart murmurs due to aortic or mitral valve abnormalities.

Marfan’s in Women

Women with Marfan Syndrome who become pregnant are considered to be high-risk, whether or not they have symptoms of an enlarged aorta. They face an increased possibility of aortic splitting during pregnancy. The pregnancy causes greatly increased blood volume and pressure required to maintain normal fetal/mother circulation.

Treatment

Currently Marfan Syndrome cannot be cured or reversed but advances in treatment have greatly improved the outlook for children and adults with Marfan Syndrome. Today, the life expectancy of individuals with the disorder, who receive early, proper medical treatment, is about 70 years. It’s important to note that although knowledge about Marfan Syndrome has increased in recent years, expertise in treating the cardiac symptoms is rare. Research can be done to narrow your search for a Marfan’s expert through the National Marfan Foundation, an organization providing support to Marfan patients and their families throughout communities all over the country. Most of the problems associated with Marfan Syndrome can be managed effectively through medication as a preventative tool of the disease’s progression as long as it is diagnosed early.

The disorder is usually treated by a team of specialists overseen by a single doctor who knows all the aspects of Marfan Syndrome. The team would consist of an ophthalmologist (eye doctor), orthopedist (foot doctor), cardiologist (heart doctor), orthodontist (teeth doctor) and a spine specialist.

There is no medical treatment currently to reverse the fibrillin abnormality in people with Marfan Syndrome. Current research on a strain of mice that are born with similar fibrillin problems may lead to a successful treatment for Marfan’s in the future. One of the drugs being used is Losartan. They are beginning the first phases of human testing to experiment with medications that have actually reduced the aortic size in Marfan mice.

Preventative Therapy

Until we can shrink the aorta, doctors try to prevent or delay the aortic changes seen in Marfan patients by prescribing beta-blockers and/or Ace-Inhibitors.

a. Beta Blockers – These medications, such as Propranolol (Inderal), Metoprolol (Lopressor), and Atenolol (Tenormin) decrease the strain on the aorta’s walls by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of heart contractions, especially during exercise. They also reduce blood pressure.

b. Ace-Inhibitors – These medications, such as Lisinopril (Prinivil), and Captopril, help to drop blood pressure by relaxing arterial tension. In addition, they have been shown to decrease accelerated cell death (necrosis) in the aorta which is common to Marfan’s. My 2 year old daughter is currently taking Enalapril, also an Ace Inhibitor, in a liquid form and loves it. This will slow the progression of cell death in her aorta as well as stop the increasing progression of the aortic dilation. As a result, they are hopeful she will never have open heart surgery and hopeful she will be able to bear children which is an amazing, and new, development for a female Marfan’s. My sister, 5 years ago, was told she could never bear children.

c. Calcium Channel Blockers – although not used as often anymore, they help to reduce force of contraction (how hard your heart squeezes) and blood pressure.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition is so important in the development of healthy connective tissue, particularly in growing children. We build a trillion cells a day by what we eat. It takes 19 vitamins and minerals and 9 amino acids with a perfect protein to build a perfect cell. Even if we miss only one nutrient, then we are building imperfect cells for seven days. These defective cells will promote the development of degenerative diseases among other things. We are the only ones who can do something about our nutrition.

With proper consumption, assimilation, and elimination our body has the ability to:

o Change the chemistry of the blood in seven days

o Change the composition of cells in seven weeks

o Change some major organs in seven months

And, as science knows, we have a completely new body in seven years. Physiological chemists state that there is not a blood cell in our body more than fourteen days old and that we rebuild a new heart every 30 days.

Can nutrition, alone, cure Marfan’s? Obviously not; however, my children and I need the proper building blocks available for the production of the best connective tissue we are capable of making. The cause of different severities among Marfan patients is unknown; however, I believe that a major component in lessening the severity in my family has been proper nutrition.

We lead a very busy life and it is natural that our nutrition generally suffers as a result. 99% of American adults fail to meet the USDA “Food Pyramid” dietary guidelines (Council for Responsible Nutrition, 1998). Therefore, we need supplementation, especially for our children. This is where Shaklee, a nutraceutical company, can benefit us greatly.

Shaklee was founded by a Chiropractic doctor in 1956. It is considered the number one leader in the nutritional industry. Shaklee nutritional products are recognized by the government as food rather than drugs. Shaklee has spent over $100 million on research which is more than the next six largest companies combined. They have over 150 scientists on staff whereas many nutritional companies don’t even have a research staff. Shaklee has never had to recall a single product in its 50 year history because each product goes through as many as 176 separate tests for purity, potency, and safety. All this to say that not all vitamins are created equal. Shaklee is superior in many areas. Ask your company for their clinical research.

Intervention Therapy

If you have Marfan Syndrome, your cardiologist should monitor your heart health carefully with echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) at least annually to check for developing problems in the aorta and mitral valve. Surgery is usually recommended if the patient’s aortic root has stretched to more than 6 cm. in diameter or the thoracic aorta has widened to greater than 5 cm. in diameter. In a typical operation, the faulty aortic valve, along with a section of the aorta where it emerges from the heart, is replaced with an artificial valve attached to a synthetic tube. The mitral valve, if affected, can also be repaired or replaced at this time.

There are many different types of valves that can be used as replacements. These include:

1) Tissue valves – these include pig valves (porcine), cow valves (bovine), and human valves (homograft). The advantage of the tissue valve is that you don’t have to be on Coumadin the rest of your life. The disadvantage is that they typically last between 10-15 years.

2) Mechanical (metal) valves – these include St. Jude’s (bi-leaflet tilting discs), Bjork-Shiley (single tilting disc), and Star Edwards (ball cage valve). Of these three, St. Jude’s is the best option and is most commonly used. The advantage of mechanical valves is that they can last up to 20-30 years. The disadvantage is that you will be on Coumadin the rest of your life.

After any valve replacement surgery, the patient is given anti-clotting medication, such as Coumadin, at least temporarily. If your valve is a mechanical valve, you will be on Coumadin for life because blood tends to clot when it comes into contact with the metal.

A recent study showed that early, preventative surgery for aortic dilation is far safer than waiting until an emergency surgery is needed. With preventative surgery, the death rate was 1.5% versus 12% for patients who had surgery on an emergency basis. This is played out to be true in my family – my Dad waited to have surgery until it was an emergency and died during the operation; whereas, I had surgery early enough that I was healthy and strong and recovered very quickly.

If you have Marfan related scoliosis of 20-40 degrees, you can be treated with a brace and physical therapy. For scoliosis greater than 45 degrees, you will need surgery.

Crowded teeth can be adjusted by an orthodontist (remember to take antibiotics if you have a valve problem).

You should have an annual eye exam to look for Marfan related eye problems. If you have dislocated lenses, you may be able to be treated with special lenses called Aphakic Lenses and special eye drops to widen the pupil rather than surgery. If eye surgery is necessary, it should be done in an ophthalmology center that specializes in the treatment of Marfan Syndrome.

Precautions

The greatest danger is death from a sudden split in the aorta. Dilation may happen from the normal pumping of the blood through a weakened aorta, from extreme physical exercise (as in my case) or extreme emotional distress, both of which sends the blood rushing at higher pressures.

Children and adults with Marfan Syndrome are warned to avoid heavy exercise, contact sports, and lifting heavy objects. However, with their doctor’s guidance, most are able to participate in less vigorous activity such as walking, bike riding, and swimming. All of these activities should be non-competitive. If you have a coach pushing your performance to its maximum, it’s considered competitive.

Because of heart valve abnormalities, most people with Marfan syndrome are prone to infections in those valves. They must be treated with oral antibiotics to prevent infection of valves by bacteria in the blood stream before routine dental work, including a cleaning, as well as before any kind of surgery. Those who have had valve replacement surgery sometimes require higher doses of antibiotics which are usually given by injection.

Call your doctor if you have chest pain, shortness of breath especially during exercise, or an irregular pulse. If you know you have Marfan Syndrome, call your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain in the front or back of the chest, sudden weakness or tingling in the arms or legs, or an unexplained fever. These may be symptoms of aortic dissection (tear), a medical emergency that can lead to aortic rupture, which is fatal in 90-95% of cases.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Marfan Syndrome is a rare disease and requires close monitoring. Marfan Syndrome cannot be “caught” from another person – it is generally inherited, with the exception of very rare mutations. Support groups for Marfan families are available across the country and I strongly recommend finding an active, local group to answer questions. You can locate a group by going to the National Marfan Foundation website.

Genetic counseling should be considered for Marfan’s who are considering having children.

As Marfan’s age, it is possible for the lining around the spinal cord to stretch towards the base, the lumbar region. In Marfan’s patients this is called Dural Ectasia and is seen best by MRI. Radiologists, however, may call this abnormality a Neurofibroma (benign tumor) if they aren’t familiar with Marfan Syndrome. Dural Ectasia can cause lower back pain.

Connective tissue disorders are rare but many. You may have been diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome when in reality you have a different yet very closely related syndrome. In the same way, people may be diagnosed with a connective tissue syndrome that can more accurately be diagnosed as Marfan Syndrome.

Scientists have determined that prostate cancer is an epidemic so vast that nearly one autopsy in two of older men reveals the presence of this cancer. Colon Cancer Staging Tnm Fortunately, this cancer is usually so slow growing that most men die of other causes, even as the cancer grows slowly within the prostate gland. Yet deaths by prostate cancer and the debilitating effects of prostate surgery still affect thousands of families today. In addition, nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate afflicts millions of American men with such symptoms as painful and frequent urination. As a therapist who specializes in discovering the underlying causes of disease, I have discovered, once again, the reasons for this pandemic can be found in the cultural habits of our society.

First, let’s ask the obvious question: what is the prostate’s job in a healthy individual? Although prostate conditions including cancer usually show up as problems with urination, the prostate gland is mainly about sex. The prostate’s job is to mix sperm with its own liquid secretions to produce semen, then through contractions associated with male orgasm, it propels this semen into the penis. When I have worked with men who have any prostrate condition I nearly always find that these men feel subconsciously frustrated and often guilty about their sexual behavior. Each case has unique elements. Therefore I will not claim that it is always one particular feeling or trauma. But my experience is that it always is about sex.

One client feels guilty about years of being unfaithful to his wives. Another feels remorse over years of visiting prostitutes, and having meaningless sex. Still another feels badly that he had sex with a wife he didn’t really love. So far I have not met any man whose prostate is complaining because it didn’t get enough sex. While I can’t rule out this possibility, it seems that wasting of one’s procreative life force is the issue which is locked into the prostates of most of my clients. (Incidentally, I always use open ended questions, and never use direct suggestion or leading questions in my work with cancer patients in order to minimize the influence of my own beliefs on the subconscious minds of my clients. In addition, when I began this research, I had no clue as to what might be found in the prostates of my clients)

Lung Cancer Secrets Revealed Click here

This discovery of loose sexual behavior among the vast majority of my prostate clients is consistent with the “sexual revolution” of the 1970s, in which sex went from being a form of recreation reserved exclusively for married couples, at least theoretically, to becoming a free for all. The Playboy philosophy, birth control, and the hippie and women’s lib movements combined to create unprecedented opportunities for men and women alike to spread their seeds to the four winds. While I too had the chance to celebrate and enjoy this new freedom, it is our prostate glands, concerned with such “obsolete” concepts as romantic love, families, and children that I have discovered are in rebellion among so many men today.

As a hypnotherapist it is my job to listen to this prostate gland in a way that the client has never done. Indeed most clients are shocked to discover this throwback to conservative values living inside their bodies. Sometimes tears of remorse, dedication to a new lifestyle, even acts of atonement performed for women can help heal this condition. At other times, committing oneself to seeking a loving partner, even to reaching out to ones lost or grown children has proved valuable. I really don’t know what my client’s prostate needs to heal itself … but fortunately that prostate always does.

Another kind of cancer epidemic is colon cancer. Well, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the why of this epidemic either. We know that the colon is the place where waste is produced, and the water we need is pulled out. I have occasionally found unprocessed waste emotions in the colon, including anger, of which the client is often in denial. One client of mine who suffered severe ulcerative colitis screamed at me in a purple faced rage “Damn it! I am NOT angry!!” when I attempted to point out, very politely, what I was feeling from him. Even residual traumas from toilet training can be found in there sometimes.

But the culturally common causes of colon cancer I have found is connected to the diet and lifestyle choices pursued by most Americans. All of these eating habits have been scientifically proven to have debilitating effects on the colon: large amounts of animal fat in the diet, too much melted cheese and white flour products, all of which stick like glue to the colon walls, where they rot and produce inflammation, too little vegetable fiber, including the raw roughage like lettuce and carrots that clean the colon like a bottle brush, and too little water. (okay, how many of you really drink the 8 glasses a day minimum recommended by doctors?) Also critically dangerous to the colon is our lifestyle choice of sitting for most of every day on our sedentary butts. Remember that as a species homo sapiens evolved to spend many hours every day in physical movement.

So any proposed solution to this epidemic requires a radical revision of our diet and lifestyle. Fortunately the services of a clinical nutritionist and hypnotherapist can be combined to make the transition to a healthy diet and lifestyle much easier. Hypnosis can help build motivation for exercise and can help strengthen our new dietary choices. It can also help uncover and heal the emotions that are stored in the colon. Combined with the latest in medical treatments, such methods offer far more promise for recovery than we could have hoped for 20 years ago.

Many people including myself have had a hard time sleeping at one time or another due to a variety of reasons.  Finding out the best solution for a good night sleep took some patience, research, and trial and error, but ultimately, one solution changed everything. 

My brother in law was in the mattress business and during my discussions with him, I realized that there were many people, not just myself, searching for a better, more comfortable sleep. I researched mattress construction, sound machines, over the counter medications, prescription medications, CPAP sleep machines and then, documented the findings.

After all, sleep is the most important element your body needs to repair and keep running properly.
Studies have shown that people that do not get enough quality sleep suffer from depression, weight gain, poor health, poor memory and live a less than optimal life.

There are also different stages of sleep and to get your body to repair itself, you must reach the REM stage where most people spend between 20-25% of their sleep. One physiological study suggests that one purpose of REM sleep is to improve memory storage along with repair and restoration functions.  Some people do not reach this critical stage or not enough is achieved.

If one does not achieve enough quality sleep over a period of time, this is called Insomnia. Disorders related to Insomnia are tension, depression, personality disorders, loss of energy, no sex drive, and inability for body to heal and repair itself properly.

Studies have been done with test subjects showing that if one group is deprived of quality sleep and one group is allowed to have quality sleep then tested with memory tests, the group with better sleep always won.

I myself have tried Ambien and Lunesta and did not like the hangover feeling that was associated with them.  There was also a growing mountain of evidence that these prescription medications could be harmful due to the side effects. Laws have been passed in many states allowing a person driving under the influence of a prescribed sleep medication to be charged with DUI or driving while impaired.  This is scary given the fact that some of the side effects are sleepwalking, sleep talking and having sex while asleep.

My uncle was dying of cancer and I had to take a trip to see him one last time. It was awful.  He was coughing so badly at night that my wife and I barely slept at all.  Then, my Auntie gave me an herbal tablet with Helicidum in it. We slept so soundly that night, it was amazing. We woke feeling refreshed and happy. This was completely different from the experience that I had with Ambien or Lunesta. Both drugs left me with a foggy hangover that left me unsure if I could drive or make important decisions. 

Research on Helicidum is hard to come by because this is the English name for an ancient Chinese herb called “Doufugou” that has been used in the Far East for centuries to cure insomnia, lift moods, calm nerves and pain management. The main use of this herb though is treatment of sleeplessness.
We found an herbalist that was able to obtain a very pure form of Helicidum, and we manufactured the formula with Valerian root extract, Siberian Ginseng and added a time release component. We tested the formula and found it to be really effective with no side effects

We immediately contacted a pharmaceutical company to make some sample tablets.  Upon further tests, still no side effects.  This formula changed my life, and I believe it can change yours. 

 

“I just finished reading this book and I have decided that I am ADD.”

“I saw a TV show about ADHD. I have it and so does my son.”

“My daughter’s teacher says she asks too many questions. Do you think she’s hyperactive?”

Over the past ten years, we’ve all heard announcements like these from friends, family and even strangers.

As a spiritual coach and counselor, I deal with questions about ADD and ADHD every day. My insights may be helpful to you, too.

ADD AND ADHD IN ADULTS

Recently, a client started our counseling session by declaring that he’s ADD. His wife was quick to agree. That’s what brought them to my doorstep. They needed help with their marriage.

Often, the first step to repair a marriage begins with personal spiritual growth. Until the individual understands him- or herself, it’s difficult to build trust and understanding in any relationship.

In this case, I did an energetic scan of my client. Some medical intuitives, including me, use this process to identify areas that need work. We “see” physical, emotional and energetic distress.

Next, I described to my client what I saw in the scan. I explained it in the context of ADD. Like many people who are confused by ADD and ADHD, he was relieved to find someone who understood what was going on.

After that, I recommended that they read more about the subject. Between their studies and a few counseling session, the client and his wife were able to understand each other better. According to them, it began a renaissance within their marriage.

For many adults, that’s all it takes. With a little education and some counseling, they learn how to live with ADD and ADHD.

ADD AND ADHD IN CHILDREN

Most people are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD as children. Through them, we can more about the many faces of Attention Deficit Disorder, with or without obvious hyperactivity.

Years ago, one of my most important breakthroughs was with a 12-year-old client. His first statement to me was startling.

With a look of anguish, he blurted, “It hurts to be a human when I think of and see all that we have done to this planet. But, I know I am here to make it better.”

Scanning his energy, I could sense the pain that he was in. To me, it was as if he had been born without skin. He could feel everything around him. He had no personal boundaries.

That session helped him, but it helped me even more. I learned, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that ADD and ADHD aren’t disabilities. They’re gifts.

Those gifts need to be managed and nurtured, but they’re still gifts. They may even point the way that our species is evolving.

If we medicate those gifts to minimize them, we risk losing those gifts altogether.

ADD, ADHD, UNDERSTANDING AND “THE BOX”

During the following months, my practice attracted many clients with Attention Deficit Disorder and forms of hyperactivity. I was one of the few who understood them as gifts, not diseases.

My staff and I used to joke that I’d become an “ADD magnet.” But, those months were a tremendous educational experience.

Some of my clients already knew about ADD and ADHD. They’d already been diagnosed. They knew the terminology and the popular medical solutions. Some even chose the ADD label because, finally, it defined who they were.

Those clients can be the most difficult to work with. The ADD “box” acts as a protection and a defense. To help them, we must convince them to step outside that box.

For someone who has lived without boundaries, that’s a very scary step. The box is the safe place to be. Convincing them to step outside can be challenging.

HOW TO HELP

The following basics can help anyone who is dealing with ADD and ADHD in children and adults.

* ADD and ADHD are gifts.

* The ADD and ADHD labels are over-used. They may mask other conditions that need to be examined.

* In addition, ADD and ADHD can be masked by other, more obvious conditions. Medication can make it even more difficult to identify attention, activity and boundary issues.

* Attention Deficit Disorder, with or without hyperactivity, affect four levels: Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Each level must be addressed separately.

* In most cases, ADD and ADHD need to be managed, not drugged.

* In almost all cases, these people also have heightened perceptions of — and sensitivities to — spirituality. That spirituality can provide a bridge to help them, as well as support during episodes of extreme activity and/or vulnerability.

Because these and other conditions can be “layered,” diagnosis and treatment can be difficult with some clients. However, this also makes the work constantly engaging, challenging and intriguing.

THE FIRST STEP

In most cases, the first major issue is the client’s feeling of isolation. To resolve that, clients may have developed inappropriate behaviors. For example, they may be accustomed to creating emergencies and drama to attract attention and support.

Until the sense of isolation is addressed, those behaviors can slow treatment. Once the client feels a stronger connection to those close to him or her, the process becomes much easier. In addition, a client’s lifestyle needs to be reviewed. This includes diet and attitudes. Protocols must be created and understood by everyone who is connected to the client.

ADD AND ADHD AREN’T DISABILITIES

Attention Deficit Disorder is not a disability, it is a “diffability.” The person’s abilities are not “less than” or impaired, just different.

Each person is brilliant in some way. Often, this brilliance simply needs to be discovered, acknowledged and unlocked.

ADD and ADHD are gifts. They may represent an expansion of our awareness beyond the 10% that the brain traditionally utilizes. Let’s not try to medicate and subdue this exciting evolutionary step.

Recently, a client said to me, “I am not dumb you know, even if they all say I am.”

That’s a common misunderstanding when dealing with people — especially children — who have the gift of ADD.

They’re not “dumb” or stupid. In fact, they’re so smart in such different ways, we don’t always realize that what they have is an asset.

THE FUTURE OF ADD AND ADHD

Working together, we can become smart enough to understand those with ADD and ADHD.

For now, let’s help these gifted people deal with isolation, fear, anxiety, depression and more.

We can help each other. In this process, we may find ways to utilize even more intelligence, to help the evolutionary process. Our world could benefit greatly.

You can help people who have ADD and ADHD.

The best way to start is by letting them know that they’re not alone.

Erectile dysfunction drugs like levitra have changed the life of people especially the married couples for the better. Sexual intercourse not only brings the couple to a closest possible point but also gives a lot of strength to their relation and hence, to perform satisfactorily men must get a tough erection.

Though the results of survey show that woman are against the power wheezing sex by their partner, in actuality the opposite is the case. They want their man to be strong and hard in bed. To give wonderful sex to their partner, men need to get a hard and lasting erection. Unfortunately, this might not always happen as all men face ED at one or the other point in their life. Due to this many men lose not just their wives but also a beautiful relation.

The penis is made up of spongy tissues interlaced with large blood vessels. There is a constant flow of blood in and out of the penis. The tissues in the chamber must relax and receive blood in order to make the penis hard. When men are sexually aroused the regular flow of the blood stops and the blood vessels suddenly brings in more blood which leads to the expansion and hardness of the penis.

Erectile Dysfunction happens when the blood flow to the two chambers of the penis is disrupted. Drugs like Viagra and Levitra help by elevating and relaxing the tissues which further increase the blood flow to the penis thereby giving it a strong erection for sexual intercourse.

Erectile Dysfunction can happen to any one and at any time in life; it can happen early in a person’s sex life or after one had for a long time already experienced an enjoyable sex. Men in their late 30′s and early 40′s are found to be most susceptible to the disease mostly due to psychological tensions. In older men of above 55 years the problem happens due to physical factors.

People might think that sex is not the only thing in a relationship however it is just a thought because in reality sex and love are intimately connected. Sex plays a very important role in the life of married couples. Couples who are happy with their sex lives tend to be happy with other areas of their relationship. When a husband suffers from ED, he feels incapable and depressed and that takes away all his sexual desires. The wife on the other hand feels that her husband is not interested in her and feels ignored and unwanted. This leads to many complications which can even end up in a divorce.

As erectile dysfunction is curable it is always better to take medical help than let your marriage suffer. Levitra online is the medicine for you. It was introduced in the year 1998 and is the only drug which could rival Viagra. On August 20, 2003, it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations for the treatment of erectile dysfunction or impotence. In spite of an FDA approval never buy levitra without Doctor’s Prescription.
