This pump has been proven effective in enlarging the penis size of various men, irrespective of their health conditions. However, the size increment may vary from person to person depending upon their health.
This penis enlargement pump increases the blood flow in the penis that helps to increase the penis size as per desire during sex. However, the increment length differs upon the medical history of men. Moreover, the duration of elongation may be subjected to the health of the person who wears it.
For people who have erectile dysfunction or any other penile disorder, this penis pump has proven an effective and cost-friendly method. Plus, this penis enlargement pump is safe to use alongside medications as guided by doctors.
This penis enlargement pump fills the penis’s blood vessels with blood upon suction. This method is temporary, allowing the penis to swell, making it bigger and harder. However, people with extreme medical conditions must visit the doctor before using it for the first time or longer durations.
How to use:
To operate an enlargement penile pump correctly, follow these steps:
Step 1: Lubricate the joint- Apply lubricant to the base of your penis. This assists in the formation of a seal between your skin and the pump. To help with the seal, some experts recommend shaving your pubic hair in that area.
Step 2: Start pumping- To apply the suction device to your penis, follow the instructions on the packaging.
Step 3: Increase the pressure- Slowly increase the pressure on the pump to ensure that it remains comfortable. Pumping might take anything from 30 seconds to three minutes, depending on the apparatus. If it hurts, take a deep breath and release the pressure.
Step 4: Most penis pumps have a release valve that makes it easier to remove them. To do it correctly, follow the instructions on the package.
Step 5: To enhance the pump's effects endure longer, place a rubber ring around the base of your penis. | health |

Volunteers including doctors, P.A.s, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, and willing assistants sign up for these programs and spend one or two weeks in Ecuador. Together with Tandana staff and local professionals including interpreters, these groups visit various communities in the canton of Otavalo. We coordinate with the Ecuadorian Consulates in the United States, the Ministry of Public Health, the Quinchinche and Gualsaqui Subcentros, the Mojandita Health Center, and the Union of Indigenous Communities of Quichinche. We have provided over 9,000 patient visits since we began the program in 2007.
Our Health Care Volunteer Venture groups work mostly in communities pertaining to the Quichinche and Gualsaqui Subcentros (rural health centers). We collaborate with Subcentro staff to visit the more distant communities that are served by their center. The Subcentro staff are mandated to visit these communities regularly, but are given no funding to do so and have very limited supplies of medications. With Tandana’s help, they are able to fulfill their mission of providing care in these distant communities, from which access to the Subcentro is difficult.
When patients arrive at the school, community center, or health center where we are working, Tandana staff and volunteers take their names, ask basic questions, and take vitals, preparing them to see the health care providers. The providers examine the patients, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications from our portable pharmacy. We ask a contribution of $1 per family for the medications in order to promote valuation of the medicines and avoid creating dependency. Following the providers' recommendations, a nurse or other volunteer performs basic laboratory tests, such as those for h. Pylori, urinalysis, pregnancy, and streptococcus, and does ear cleanings as necessary. We are also able to do ultrasounds during our visits. Our providers fill out referral forms for any patients they feel need additional care, tests, or specialists.
During our community visits, we can also address dental, vision, pediatric, and preventative care needs. Local and visiting dentists use our portable dental equipment to fill cavities, extract teeth, and do preventative treatments such as sealants and fluoride. For vision complaints, we conduct vision screening, provide reading glasses to those who need them, and refer those who require more specialized diagnosis and treatment to Fundacion Vista Para Todos. At schools, we weigh and measure the children, a nurse or doctor listens to their hearts and lungs, and we provide parasite medication if the children have not received it within 6 months of our visit.
For all of these services, we keep records in our Electronic Medical Records system so that as patients return for subsequent community visits, we have their history accessible.
The Tandana Foundation is committed to providing culturally- and individually- respectful care. Volunteers receive an orientation including an introduction to the local culture and a discussion of the cross-cultural aspects of our work. Our team always includes at least one fluent Kichwa speaker, and we take the time to listen to patients fully even while trying to be efficient so that we can see as many patients as possible. We promote a spirit of collaboration with local health care options, including both professionals in Western medicine and traditional healers such as shamans and yachaks. We see our work as complementary rather than contradictory to that of traditional healers, and we make efforts to meet with, discuss with, and learn from local individuals with these specialties. | health |

Where: Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary, Valentine Hall Auditorium
When: Wednesday, November 6, 7:00 PM
Since October 1st, the healthcare insurance marketplace of the Affordable Care Act (often called Obamacare) has been open for business amidst a host of problems. On Wednesday, November 6, the Gettysburg Area DFA will present a program called “Making the Most of the Affordable Care Act” to help local citizens address questions they may have. According to panelist Jeanne Duffy, “The new health care exchanges may have opened with not-surprising technical problems, but given the insufficiencies of our previous health care ‘system’ the ACA is an important step in the right direction and needs to be given a chance.” Three members of the Democracy For America’s healthcare task force, chaired by Will Lane, will address such questions as, How does the ACA affect you? Who should sign up for the exchanges? What is happening with the Medicaid expansion in PA, and what is the effect on Pennsylvania’s Medicaid-eligible population?
Panelists for the Meetup include: Jeanne Duffy, Ph.D., Janet Landon, RN, and Moriah Adams of Gettysburg College. Duffy is a retired Director of Foundation, Corporate, and Government Support at Gettysburg College. Duffy’s 18-year career in this field was preceded by 12 years in the corporate world as an analyst, researcher, and writer/editor and ten years as a College English professor. Since her retirement, Duffy has devoted much of her time to researching healthcare issues in the U.S, and advocating for universal healthcare as a human right. Janet Landon is now a school nurse in the Vida Charter School. She previously worked for both a health insurance company and a hospital, gaining a first-hand perspective on the inequities of the U.S. health care system. Moriah Adams is a third-year Health Sciences student at Gettysburg College. Adams became a strong advocate for health care reform after her own hard personal experience of what it means to be sick and uninsured in the United States.
The public is invited to participate in the Meetup and working session at 7:00 pm on November 6 in Valentine Hall Auditorium at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg. | health |

We’ve done this ourselves – for a few years. It’s brutal, it’s agonizing, it’s loathsome, yes; but boy, does it get your heart rate up and your muscles screaming for mercy. All you need is a couple of sets of dumbbells: I’d recommend one 15 lb pair and another at 25 lbs.
The good (and evil) of this workout comes from the fiendish devotion to the clock it forces you into. Forget counting reps: you do 10 exercises, each one for a minute, with only 15 seconds’ interval between each exercise. Some exercises work your core, others your arms, others shoulders, others legs. All get you breathing hard – so by the end of the 10th exercise, you’re well & truly knackered. And you still have two more go-rounds of the 10 exercises left. Torture.
Whether you’re a runner out of season, a basketballer or footballer in season, or a locked-out NHLer trying to keep the pounds off, the Spartacus Workout is your best friend. Three times a week in your basement and you won’t need much else. | health |

The health and care of your child while at The Oratory is very important to us all.
Clare McSoley is our Nurse Practice Manager and is responsible for the smooth running of the school's Health Centre, which is permanently staffed during term time by qualified nurses. The nurses work 12 hour shifts so that there is a duty nurse present during the day as well as the Nurse Manager. At night there are 2 residential nurses. Nurses also provide sports pitch side support.
The Health Centre is contactable 24/7 during term time only:
Tel: 01491 683535. Mob: 07786 396124. ([email protected]).
The Oratory School's Health Centre is equipped with:
- Nurses room – area for assessment and treatment of illnesses/injuries
- 1 x 4 bed bay – a room for any illness. It has a TV. There are also call bells to ring the nurses if required
- Doctor’s/Physiotherapy Room
- Practice Manager Office
- Nurse’s overnight room
- Toilet and shower facilities for pupils
- Small kitchen to provide basic food such as toast, soup, fruit, biscuits
The Oratory School Health Centre philosophy
Our priority is to provide a high standard of health care to all our patients, while maintaining a caring and safe environment for all. We have a team approach to patient care and endeavour to monitor the service provided to patients, to ensure that it meets current standards of excellence.
We provide 24/7 cover by trained nurses in the Medical Centre. Our nurses are always pleased to discuss any worries or concerns with pupils and parents. Nurses undergo regular updates and training to ensure care is evidence based and in accordance with current practice. We are there to support pupils with their physical and emotional well-being. We are able to provide homely remedies such as analgesia, antihistamines, cold medication etc. We are also trained in the use of Oxygen, Entonox, Salbutamol Nebulisers and Adrenaline which we have on site for medical emergencies.
If pupils need urgent or emergency treatment, they can obviously attend at any time. If they are physically unable to attend the Health Centre, then the nurse will attend to them onsite. Both Boarding and Day pupils are encouraged to attend the school Health Centre for routine health advice or treatment between the hours of 7.00am - 7.00pm. Ideally this is in their free time i.e., not during a lesson or school activity.
In an emergency a nurse will assess a pupil, contact parents and depending on whether they are day pupils or boarders we will refer them to the doctor on duty at the surgery. All boarders are expected to be registered with Woodcote Surgery.
Outside practice hours (after 7.00pm Monday to Friday and at weekends) the on-call nurse will contact Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust Out of Hours Service if she needs advice about a pupil. Injuries requiring further assessment or treatment are referred to a local Minor Injuries Unit or Accident and Emergency Department in Reading.
Dr Ed Capo-Bianco holds a doctor’s surgery for boarders in the School Health Centre twice a week on Mondays and Fridays during Michaelmas term and once a week on a Monday during Lent and Trinity term. If pupils need to attend a GP in holiday periods, they can attend any Woodcote Surgery GP as a ‘temporary patient’.
We ask the parents of all new pupils to The Oratory to fill out a detailed medical history form, including a vaccination history form and consent to medical treatment. This information enables our medical team to be aware of any health issues for the new arrivals as soon as they join us. All forms can be found on My School portal.
We also ask all parents to complete an Emergency Contact Form, where you nominate an alternative member of the family or guardian who can be contacted in an emergency if we are unable to contact you directly and immediately. Of course, we sincerely hope not to use this but it is far better to be prepared.
On entry to the school all pupils are offered a New Pupil Medical Check. This involves an individual baseline health assessment with a nurse, which enables the nurse to know what is normal for that particular pupil, alongside an informal chat about any health concerns they may have.
Boarding Pupils are referred to the School Medical Officer if there is a current or previous significant health condition or any concern of which the doctor should be aware.
There is a physiotherapist in attendance twice weekly, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Our Physiotherapist is Amanda Watt with Physiobility. The Physio can be accessed following a GP referral via private insurance, or alternatively, it can be paid for separately.
The School counsellor is available to pupils free of charge.
Pupils' own medication
Under 16 years – pupils need to provide the Health Centre with any medication that they bring to school and this will be administered by the nurses.
Above 16 years - nurses will complete a medication assessment with the pupils and, if appropriate, the pupil can keep the medication in their rooms in a locked cupboard.
If a pupil is arriving from overseas with medication, please ensure that we are provided with a prescription and details of what these medications are, if they are not in English.
If a pupil is on a ‘controlled medication’ then regardless of age, the pupil will need to keep this in the controlled drugs cupboard in the Health Centre; nurses will administer this on a daily basis. It is also essential for any boarders to provide a prescription for this, in order for us to be allowed to administer it.

As coronavirus spreads through the air, the virus can build up in poorly ventilated areas, increasing the risk of infection. It is a legal requirement for employers to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air (ventilation) in enclosed areas of the workplace.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends maximising the fresh air with the following:
- Natural ventilation which relies on passive air flow through windows, doors and air vents that can be fully or partially opened
- Mechanical ventilation using fans and ducts to bring in fresh air from outside, or
- A combination of natural and mechanical ventilation
HSE is carrying out spot checks and inspections by calling and visiting all types of businesses. Make sure your business is following the latest guidance and advice by visiting HSE coronavirus web pages. | health |

The whole plant is used, but most often the flowers. Preparations of arnica flowers have long been a popular folk remedy, used externally in the form of creams, ointments or tinctures for the treatment of sprains, bruises, and in helping to accelerate wound-healing (once the wound is closed). It is seldom used internally because of potential toxicity. Arnica, often associated with homeopathic topical products, is widely used in Europe externally as an antiphlogistic, anti-inflammatory, mild pain reliever, and antiseptic for injuries, sprains, bruising, swelling related to bone fractures, insect bites, rheumatic pains, arthralgia and occasionally for the external treatment of phlebitis. In short, in Europe it is the number one herbal first aid cream, with as many as 300 products available in the German market alone.

It is part of the Biomedical Signals and Systems Division, which belongs to the Department of Automatic Control (ESAII) and that is also part of the Biomedical Engineering Research Centre (CREB) of the UPC.
The group applies engineering techniques to the medical field to improve rehabilitation processes and clinical therapies. These are evaluated and monitored through multichannel biosignal processing. Algorithms are efficiently designed so that the same techniques adapt and apply to respiratory, neuromuscular and neurological studies.
Main research objectives:
- To develop quantitative tools to monitor muscular activity and fatigue tendency, as well as developing central nervous system control strategies for the muscular activation during rehabilitation exercises.
- To provide new aid tools to clinicians for the assisted ventilation of severe respiratory insufficiency patients and for monitoring ventilatory disorders by studying the respiratory muscles.
- To improve the detection and characterization of the brain’s activity and connectivity to evaluate it in the context of neuronal and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as in the drug therapy interaction with brain activity and its effects during sleep and wake. | health |

“The initiative to establish a Foundation of medical volunteers in Central Africa was born in 1995 in Rwanda and Burundi after I spent a long period there as a volunteer surgeon. The miserable conditions of the population, especially the children, many of whom were seriously disabled, were being made more precarious. In 2000 the opportunity arose to run a local hospital in Bubanza in the Northern region of Burundi and although it had been looted, the structure was intact. With the moral support of Cardinal Ersilio Tonini, I created the International Foundation of Doctors for Central Africa (FIMAC), a not-for-profit organization.”.
Dott. Vincenzo Monti
THE SOCIAL PURPOSE
The Foundation is a not-for-profit organization focusing exclusively on health issues in Central Africa by:
Supporting hospital institutions through supplying medical personnel and equipment;
Establishing collaborative relationships with local, national and international institutions and organizations within the health sector.

Always protect your hair from extreme weather. Exposure to excessive sun, heat, dirt, pollution, etc. adds to our already existent hair woes. These can lead to dirt build up, drying out of hair and scalp and increased susceptibility to infections on the scalp. Cover your hair with an umbrella or a hat when out in harsh weather conditions and wearing a protective style during harsher elements will help as well.
Tip 2: Handle Wet Hair With Care
Straight/relaxed wet hair is very fragile and breaks easily. Shampoo the hair carefully with a sulfate shampoo to minimize tangles. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle wet-hair and apply conditioner to help with slippage.
Tip 3: Condition The Hair Regularly and Correctly
Use a moisturizing conditioner after every wash. Conditioning needs to be done right. Conditioners are formulated to seal in the moisture and deposit protein to the hair shaft. Apply heat or cover the hair in order for it to be most effective.
Tip 4: Minimize Heat
Avoid using heat on your hair. Heat further strips the moisture content from your hair making it dry and frizzy. When overused, it can also burn your hair. Use iron/curl, straighteners only if necessary and remember to use a hair protectant before!
Tip 5: Avoid Pulling The Hair Too Tightly
Avoid using super tight hair ties or pulling the hair too tightly during styling and braiding. Traction alopecia or balding and thinning around the edges and in the crown of the hair is usually caused by pulling the hair too tightly and it can be severe and permanent if you aren’t careful.
Tip 6: Satin Pillowcases Work Better
Sleeping on satin pillow covers will reduce hair breakage due to friction. Cotton and other materials are quite rough in texture. Due to which they also cause more friction against your hair.
Tip 7: Don’t Rub, Pat Dry
When drying hair, pat dry. Do not ever rub. You might dry your hair faster but the amount of hair that breaks and falls away also doubles up.
Tip 8: Wash Your Hair In Cool Water
Use cool water to wash your hair as hot water affects hair the same way as heat styling methods do; it can cause dry feeling hair.
Tip 9: Healthy Eating
Health on the inside reflects on your hair too. The healthier you are, the better your hair looks. If you want healthy hair, eating right is a must. Certain nutrients like vitamins, iron and proteins are essential for your hair growth and health. If you are unable to obtain enough from your diet, then you need to consider supplements. | health |
https://www.rufesnowdental.com/2023/08/18/find-out-what-causes-bad-breath-and-how-to-treat-it-effectively/ | 2023-12-11T05:32:45 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679103558.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211045204-20231211075204-00122.warc.gz | 0.886603 | 1,250 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__233356728 | en | Bad breath, medically known as halitosis, is a common issue that can be embarrassing and socially uncomfortable. It often stems from various factors, including poor oral hygiene, dietary choices, medical conditions, and lifestyle habits. To effectively treat bad breath, it’s crucial to identify its underlying causes and take appropriate measures to address them. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the common causes of bad breath and provide strategies for treating it effectively.
Common Causes of Bad Breath:
1. Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing, flossing, and tongue cleaning allow food particles to remain in your mouth, leading to bacterial growth and the release of foul-smelling gases.
2. Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): Saliva naturally cleanses the mouth by neutralizing acids and washing away bacteria. A dry mouth can result from factors like dehydration, certain medications, or medical conditions, allowing odor-causing bacteria to flourish.
3. Dietary Choices: Foods with strong odors like garlic, onions, and spices can lead to temporary bad breath. Additionally, sugary foods and drinks promote bacterial growth and contribute to bad breath over time.
4. Tobacco Products: Smoking or chewing tobacco can cause persistent bad breath and lead to various oral health issues.
5. Alcohol and Coffee: These beverages can lead to dry mouth, contributing to bad breath. They also leave residues that bacteria feed on.
6. Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions can cause chronic bad breath, including sinus infections, respiratory infections, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, and gastrointestinal issues like acid reflux (GERD).
7. Medications: Some medications, such as those for allergies, high blood pressure, or depression, can lead to dry mouth or other side effects contributing to halitosis.
8. Dental Issues: Dental problems like gum disease, tooth decay, dental abscesses, or poorly fitted dentures can harbor bacteria and lead to bad breath.
9. Orthodontic Appliances: Braces, retainers, or dentures may trap food particles and bacteria, causing unpleasant odors.
10. Morning Breath: Reduced saliva production during sleep can lead to dry mouth and morning breath, which is usually temporary and resolves with regular oral hygiene.
Effective Treatment for Bad Breath:
To treat bad breath effectively, consider the following strategies:
1. Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene:
– Brush: Brush your teeth at least twice a day, using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush. Pay special attention to brushing your tongue to remove bacteria and debris.
– Floss: Clean between your teeth and along the gumline daily to remove food particles and plaque.
– Tongue Cleaning: Use a tongue scraper or the back of your toothbrush to gently clean your tongue’s surface, where odor-causing bacteria often reside.
2. Stay Hydrated:
– Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dry mouth. This helps maintain saliva production, which naturally cleanses your mouth.
3. Dietary Choices:
– Limit consumption of odorous foods like garlic and onions, especially when you have social events planned.
– Opt for foods high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, which can help naturally cleanse the mouth.
– Chew sugar-free gum or eat sugar-free mints to stimulate saliva production and freshen your breath.
4. Tobacco and Alcohol Cessation:
– Quit smoking or chewing tobacco to eliminate tobacco-related bad breath.
– Limit or eliminate alcohol and coffee consumption, especially if they contribute to dry mouth.
5. Address Dry Mouth:
– If dry mouth is a persistent issue, consider using over-the-counter artificial saliva products or consult your healthcare provider for possible medication adjustments.
– Use a humidifier in your bedroom to maintain moisture in the air during sleep.
6. Regular Dental Check-Ups:
– Schedule routine dental check-ups and cleanings every six months to address and prevent dental issues contributing to bad breath.
7. Manage Medical Conditions:
– If you have an underlying medical condition contributing to bad breath, work closely with your healthcare provider to manage and treat the condition effectively.
8. Medication Review:
– If you suspect medications are causing bad breath, consult your healthcare provider to discuss potential alternatives or solutions.
9. Orthodontic and Dental Appliance Care:
– If you wear braces, retainers, or dentures, maintain strict hygiene practices to prevent bacterial buildup.
10. Practice Good Oral Health Habits Consistently:
– Develop a daily oral hygiene routine and stick to it consistently, including weekends and vacations.
11. Rinse with Mouthwash:
– Use an antimicrobial or antibacterial mouthwash to help kill bacteria and leave your mouth feeling fresh.
12. Specialized Treatment:
– If gum disease, dental abscesses, or tooth decay is causing bad breath, your dentist may recommend specific treatments or procedures to address these issues.
13. Consult a Dentist or Dental Hygienist:
– If bad breath persists despite your efforts, seek professional help. A dentist or dental hygienist can perform a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
14. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle:
– Incorporate a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques into your daily routine to promote overall health, including oral health.
15. Use Breath Fresheners as Needed:
– Carry sugar-free gum or breath mints with you for a quick refresh when necessary, but remember that these are temporary solutions.
In conclusion, addressing bad breath effectively involves identifying its underlying causes and implementing consistent oral hygiene practices and lifestyle changes. By following these strategies, you can maintain fresh breath and confidence in your social interactions while prioritizing your overall oral health. Remember that chronic or severe bad breath may indicate an underlying issue that should be addressed with the help of a healthcare provider or dentist. | health |

Are you suffering from uncomfortable physical symptoms, such as a racing heartbeat, trembling, nausea, or shallow breathing? Do you have a powerful urge to escape from everything, but don’t know where to turn for help? Maybe you have noticed that you’re often irritable and prone to snapping at friends and loved ones. Or, the fear of potential heightened stress might have you avoiding activities or people you once enjoyed. Perhaps, you worry too much about what others think of you, or in social situations, find yourself tongue-tied or stuttering. Are you desperate for relief from looping, incessant thoughts and the constant feeling of weight on your chest?
Your professional life could be suffering as well, especially if anxiety is impacting your ability to finish projects on time or you feel held back from promotions and new opportunities. Or, you might have drastically altered eating habits and are consuming far too much or too little food. Regardless of how your anxiety symptoms are manifesting, you might be feeling hopeless and helpless. It can seem like you’re in quicksand, and the more you fight it the further you sink. Do you want to find a way to manage your thoughts and feelings and not be at the mercy of the stress and fear that haunt you?
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders affect about 20 percent of American adults. They are the most commonly diagnosed mental health disorders in the U.S., afflicting about 40 million adults, but only around a third of people with anxiety receive proper treatment. Some people struggling with anxiety try to cope on their own by using alcohol, drugs, shopping or food to self-medicate. The reality is that these methods only provide temporary relief from anxious thoughts and can do considerable harm to your relationships, career and health when used excessively. Although it might seem as if you’ve tried everything you can think of to ease your symptoms, the safe, proven way to achieve true, lasting peace and contentment is through anxiety treatment. With the help of an experienced, compassionate therapist, you can better understand what triggers your anxiety, learn proper coping strategies and stress-relieving techniques to effectively manage and even overcome it. It is possible to find both the immediate and long-term relief and peace you are desperately seeking.
For over 10 years, I have specialized in helping clients manage their anxiety and regain control of their lives. As a doctoral candidate at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis and as a trained EMDR practitioner, I’ve received advanced training specifically in anxiety treatment. In anxiety counseling sessions, my goal is to help you discover more about the reasons for you anxiety and identify the core issues that hold you back from true happiness and peace of mind. Since those suffering from anxiety are often in need of immediate relief, one of our first steps can be to discuss and develop some techniques to help you relax and calm yourself in the moments that anxiety heightens.
Alongside relaxation and stress-reduction techniques, I will work with you to create a therapy plan that is individualized to you and your personal experiences, needs, specific type of anxiety and therapy goals. You can build self-awareness and increase your understanding of anxiety and the patterns of thinking that lead to panic or fear. We can also identify the root source of your anxiety, and discover and address what factors trigger these feelings. Through using various proven techniques, such as mindfulness, EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), you can learn how to reduce stress, reframe negative thought processes and manage the challenges that come up in your life with greater ease. I can guide you in safely and effectively exploring your deepest self, which can help you achieve lasting happiness and balance and ensure a bright future, with less anxiety and fear.
If you’re reading this, you probably already suspect that you’re suffering from anxiety. And, if you’ve tried other methods to reduce stress with limited to no success, you owe it to yourself to give anxiety therapy a try. Far too many people suffer in secret because they don’t want to appear weak or admit to themselves that they might need help. Anxiety is very common in our culture and there is no shame in seeking help. In fact, it’s a sign of strength.
Therapy for anxiety is an investment in you. Consider the amount of money you spend on your hobbies or vices, and the only return on investment in these cases is fleeting enjoyment. Treatment for anxiety can improve your quality of life now and in the future. Or, viewing it from a purely financial perspective, investing in therapy can ease the harmful thoughts and debilitating anxiety that keep you from realizing your full earning potential.
How often do you sacrifice to make friends, family members, and other people in your life happy? From childhood, we are taught to please others. Getting along with parents, teachers or siblings was an important lesson, but we aren’t told when—or how—to stop pleasing others and take care of ourselves. As an adult, you might find yourself stretched to your limits, trying to make everyone happy, but still feel guilty that it’s not enough. You already do so much for the people in your life; it’s time to make time for yourself. You deserve to be happy, too.
If you are ready to change and desire to be more content, connected, and engaged with life, I invite you to call me at (916) 822-2042 for a free, 15-minute consultation. I am happy to answer any questions you have about anxiety treatment and discuss how I can help. Don’t ignore your pain. Call me today. | health |

Self-diagnosis and diagnosis by doctors seem – and I’m sorry to say so – so commonplace as a simple excuse for all kinds of gastrointestinal dysfunction that one has to become suspicious. When you take the time to read the latest studies on the subject, doubts about the reliability of this diagnosis appear more than justified. Don’t get me wrong, there is no doubt that people suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms, just the reasoning given may not apply.
The subject is very important for athletes who very often suffer from gastrointestinal dysfunction due to stress – be it mechanical, biochemical or mental. My impression is that these problems are seldom properly analyzed and diagnosed, instead they are hastily dismissed either as infections, lactose or stress-induced (i.e. vegetative). The following sections can only provide a very superficial insight into a complex problem.
What exactly is lactose and lactase? A more modern view of intolerance
As far as is known, lactose has no specific nutritional value for adults. It is the most important source of energy during the first year of life and covers almost half of the total energy needs of babies. Lactose is widely used in the food industry. You can find them in sweets, confections and sausages. Due to its physiological properties – lactose is a good binding agent due to its texture that binds water and color. It is also tasteless.
In order to be absorbed, lactose must be hydrolyzed. It does this through lactase. Lactase is abundant in the beginning of the small intestine. It is found at the tip of the villus and is therefore more prone to gastrointestinal diseases that cause cell damage (there are other enzymes deeper in the cell wall that break down other sugars). One speaks of primary lactase deficiency when the lactase secretion in the infant falls to 10% or less after weaning. Congenital lactase deficiency is extremely rare. Secondary lactase deficiency or poor digestion can occur after operations or if the intestinal mucosa is damaged (infections, inflammatory diseases). This is where Biestmilch comes into play. The smallest possible amount of lactose that could trigger symptoms is unknown and would be a very subjective sensation. On average, an amount of several dozen grams would have to be taken in order to cause symptoms (e.g. 50g are used in the lactose tolerance test).
Don’t forget that you consume lactose with a lot of food!
Biestmilch is low in lactose. It contains only 5-7% of the lactose content of milk. Those who can tolerate lactose in small to moderate amounts without noticeable discomfort can take colostrum without problems. Of course, this only applies if you have a proven lactose intolerance that is not part of a functional bowel disorder (see below). Our years of experience have shown that in most cases the symptoms of lactose intolerance decrease or go away. This may very well be due to the therapeutic effect of colostrum on the mucous membranes. Biestmilch has an anti-inflammatory effect on all mucous membranes, including the intestines. It also has the ability to regulate purely functional disorders.
The intestine does not have as many opportunities to show symptoms
Regardless of the cause, soft stools, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, flatulence, bowel noises, dyspepsia etc. belong to abdominal symptoms, as well as sensitivity to pain and disorders of intestinal motility.
The threshold at which people with these symptoms perceive pain or discomfort is lower compared to healthy individuals. What is not painful under normal conditions becomes painful for these people. All of these symptoms can be caused by a variety of diseases, ranging from gastrointestinal infections to functional disorders, with the majority suffering from gastrointestinal dysfunction. They are either chronic or seizure with no evidence of structural or biochemical abnormalities. The prevalence of functional bowel disease in Western society is very high. 17% suffer from irritable bowel syndrome alone. The symptoms of lactose intolerance are very similar, if not the same.
More recent studies have shown that subjects who can digest lactose well complained of symptoms after consuming low-lactose or lactose-free milk, just as subjects allegedly cannot digest the lactose. This suggests that many of the symptoms of lactose intolerance are unrelated to the ability to digest lactose. It seems that the subjective perception of lactose intolerance is strongly linked to the presence of a functional intestinal regulation disorder such as e.g. B. is linked to irritable bowel syndrome.
Is there a more complex, more serious illness hidden behind lactose intolerance? Thinking differently
Lactose intolerance is not an uncomplicated diagnosis based solely on a measurable lactase deficit. It may be based on more complex regulatory disorders of the bowel. Physiological factors that affect the amount of lactose broken down include gastrointestinal transit time, intestinal lactase activity, visceral sensitivity and the presence of functional bowel disease and, optionally, the composition of the microflora in the large intestine. On top of that, factors related to the sensory and central nervous systems change the perception of symptoms. To give you an idea of what this means, adults who frequently complained of abdominal pain in childhood appear to be more prone to developing functional gastrointestinal problems later in life. | health |

By ending tobacco sales, retailers can reduce the availability and appeal of cigarettes and other tobacco products. They can help prevent kids from ever starting to use tobacco and support smokers trying to quit, thereby improving health and saving lives.
Smoking harms nearly every organ in the human body and causes about one-third of all deaths from cancer and heart disease, as well as 80 percent of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (such as emphysema).
An estimated 375,000 retail stores sell tobacco products in the U.S. The widespread availability of tobacco products sends a terrible message to kids that tobacco use is normal,acceptable and appealing.
Tobacco companies spend over 80 percent of their annual $8.8 billion marketing budget at the point-of-sale in stores, and this marketing has been shown to increase youth tobacco use. By ending tobacco sales, retailers can help reduce kids’ exposure to harmful tobacco marketing. | health |

Earlier this year during practice, an Oregon high school lacrosse player was struck in the chest by a fast-moving pass – the timing was exquisite and deadly. The ball struck his sternum at precisely the wrong moment, stimulating a cascade of electrical events in his heart that provoked a sudden cardiac arrest.
Teammate Ben Wu came to rescue to help save his teammate’s life. As a student in the Beaverton (Oregon) School District Health Careers Program, he had been trained in health assessments, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and the importance of having an automated external defibrillator (AED) on hand during such a critical moment.
Since Wu had recently undergone his own heart screening, he had first-hand knowledge and the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, which is the No. 1 cause of death in student athletes.
Play Smart Youth Heart Screenings is a free program sponsored by Providence Heart Institute at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, a multi-state integrated health-care system. Dr. James Beckerman, cardiologist and medical director, and Lydia Hibsch, MA, manager of business development and operations manager of the Play Smart Youth Heart Screenings Program, started Play Smart in 2012 in the wake of multiple tragic events in their own community.
Play Smart provides free blood pressure screenings, electrocardiograms (EKGs) and cardiac ultrasounds (as needed) to youth from ages 12 to 18. During the past six years, the program has screened more than 25,000 kids, identifying about 1,300 with asymptomatic cardiac conditions and elevated blood pressure.
“When we started Play Smart, we expected to screen the majority of kids at our hospital,” Beckerman said. “After all, that’s where we see our patients. But after just a few months, we realized that if we wanted to make the greatest impact, we needed to go where the kids are – at school.”
And so began the process of partnering with local schools and community organizations to provide on-site screenings. Since 2012, Play Smart has screened children in nearly 250 separate events, impacting kids from more than 100 cities and towns in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Play Smart is the largest youth heart screening program in Oregon; it operates year-round and epitomizes outreach strategies in engaging with schools and communities. To impact as many youth as possible, Play Smart brings its mobile heart screening program into the high school setting and, in partnership with schools, screens students while raising awareness of heart health with students, families and communities.
Play Smart works with the school screening partners to organize the students to be screened, and it can offer heart screenings to 100-240 youth in a typical screening day.
The prevention and wellness focus of the Play Smart Program makes it an exceptional health educational curriculum supplement in school settings; many health and physical education teachers integrate the heart screenings as an enrichment experience to support their health curriculum.
The school and community partnerships are active and vital to the success of the program. Throughout the six years of the Play Smart Program, it has developed 105 partnerships with schools, local clinics and area community organizations in offering free heart screenings to youth and families throughout Oregon and southwest Washington.
“We are so lucky to have fostered so many positive relationships with school administrators, athletic directors, school nurses, health and PE staff – their participation and enthusiasm for these kids is what makes Play Smart work,” Hibsch said. “They appreciate the importance of this free heart-health screening and recognize the value that this program offers in increasing health awareness in their communities.”
The Beaverton Health Careers program is a great example of the partnerships that Play Smart has developed. In addition to providing its students with free heart screenings, Play Smart is working with its leadership to offer more opportunities for exposure to health-care careers for these students.
Ben Wu successfully performed CPR on his teammate, buying enough time for his coach to access an AED to save his teammate’s life. Everyone is doing well today. Wu is not only an inspiration, but he has also been inspired by his experience – he plans to become a doctor one day.

It is important to keep a well balanced diet to help manage the emotional roller coaster you ride the entire pregnancy (not to mention post-natal).
You are beginning the first stage of feeding your baby and determining its constitution, so make the best decisions you can. By choosing certain foods you help growth, development, calm certain cravings, increase energy, and even possibly eliminate or control certain symptoms of pregnancy like morning sickness, migraines, swelling, and others. Here are some quick tips from one of my favorite books, “Macrobiotic Pregnancy and Care of the Newborn” by Michio and Aveline Kushi.
1. Do not follow a specific diet the ENTIRE pregnancy. You need to learn to adapt your diet to suit the constant changing conditions of the body, and learn how to satisfy cravings. ( I will dedicate 1 blog to CRAVINGS ONLY, but here are a few for now)
2. Chew your food well. (until it becomes a liquid in your mouth) This is where digestion begins!
3. Eat with good appetite.
4. SIT to EAT, and eat with a peaceful manner with gratitude for your food about 3 times a day.
5. Avoid eating for about 3 hours before sleeping. This will help relieve stagnation which creates indigestion.
6. It is advisable to use a gas or wood stove for cooking if available rather than electric or microwave cooking devices.
8. Eat until you are satisfied not full
9. Eat your minerals! SEA VEGGIES! but don’t bathe too long because you can deplete those minerals.
If we are not drinking water then we turn to special teas that are good for almost all ages. There is a difference between the teas I am about to list compared to already bottled tea, herbal teas, and that southern sweet tea.
Certain tea is important to include in your diet because it can help with digestion, detoxing, immune system boost, improve respiratory system, and general health. Here is a list of our stapel teas in our home. You can get most the ingredients from whole foods, but I like to order from Natural Import.
Kukicha or Bancha: Helps with digestion, contains no chemical dyes. Consists of the stems of leaves from mature Japanese tea bushes. Comes in tea bag or twigs.
Sencha: Helps with metabolism. Consists of toasted brown rice and Japanese Green tea leaves. Comes in tea bags
Ume-Shoyu Kuzu: Aids in digestion, and creating a alkaline base when too acidic. Good for sickness, detox, hangover. Disolve kuzu in room temp water. Simmer water or kukicha, and then add the disolved kuzu water and ume plum (Japanese pickeled plum found at Whole Foods or Natural Import). Add a splash of shoyu sauce (a naturally fermented soy sauce).
Start with those for now… More to come!
Today was a very productive day. I put together 4 of our regular flavors with a little twist for a boost of nutrients! All food is made with filtered water and a pinch of Kombu.

Make your own infant formula because there are not any really good products out there. Here are a few to try out!
for Breast Milk
Compiled by Dr. Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD
The best nutrition for newborns and infants is breast milk. However, there are situations that require formula feeding, and many babies respond poorly to cow’s milk. The following infant formula recipes have been created to meet babies’ nutritional requirements up to six months of age.
In these formulations, soy milk is mentioned as a substitute for cow’s milk. There are now many processing methods for soy that produce very different nutritional results. Because there is little scientific information about the nutritional value of genetically modified (GMO) soy and because of the prevalence of soy allergies, we suggest you consider rice, almond, or oat milk if you encounter any problems with soy.
These formulas have proven useful and complete. For all these recipes, warm the milk or milk substitute up to skin temperature, stir in the liquid supplements, and add the dry powders last. Fill the bottles or create individual servings in covered containers. (Remember, glass is always more pure than plastic containers.)
Warm each feeding up to the baby’s temperature before use. Remember that any formula containing virgin coconut oil must be warmed to over 75 degrees F. to liquefy this oil.
With practice, you will discover the best mix for your infant. If you would like to share your findings with us, other families will appreciate the benefit of your experiences.
Kokkoh (Macrobiotic Rice Milk)
• 1 cup brown rice
• 10 cups water
• 1/4 tsp. salt
Wash the rice and toast it in a dry pan, stirring it constantly until it is golden and begins to pop. Add the water and salt and simmer for 2 hours or more on a low flame, stirring occasionally. Squeeze out the cream with a cheesecloth. This milk can serve as the basis for infant formula if it is supplemented with other nutrients, as in the recipes below.
• 1 qt. oat, rice, almond, or soy milk (ranked here by ease of digestion), heated to boiling, then cooled
• 1 cup organic carrot juice
• 1/2 cup of strained liquid from a mixture of cooked bean sprouts (mung bean, lentil, and alfalfa)
• 1 tbsp. maple syrup
• 1 tsp. virgin coconut oil
• 300 IU calcium/magnesium liquid
• 250 mg. Vitamin C powder
• 1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
• 1/2 tsp. chlorophyll liquid
• 100 mcg. folic acid
Various milks have very different protein contents. Work with a naturopathic doctor to tune these amounts if using this formula longer than a few weeks. In addition, borage oil, flax oil, or evening primrose oil can be added as a source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Human milk has significant amounts of GLA and it is required for the synthesis of necessary hormones.
Loffler-Wright Infant Formula
(From Medical Nutrition from Marz)
• 1 quart whole oat, rice, almond, or soy milk
• 1 cup carrot juice
• 200 mg DHA in fish oil
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon barley green or Spirulina
• 1 teaspoon molasses
• 100 IU Vitamin D
• 0.1 mg folate
• 500 mg Carnitine
This formula should be made up daily. Since it oxidizes rapidly, it is best to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or pre-bottled in the unit-dose baby bottles. Vitamins and syrups can be pre-mixed and ready for more convenient preparation.
• 1 qt. soy milk
• 1 cup carrot juice
• 1/4 tsp. barley green
• 200 IUs Vitamin D
• 1/4 tsp. nutritional yeast
• 100 mg. Vitamin C
• 1 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Other modifications can be made to this formula if the infant is premature or has poor muscle development. In particular, L-Carnitine is critical for the oxidation of fatty acids, so you may want to add that (500 mg/qt) for older babies. Newborns have a very limited ability to synthesize carnitine, especially premature ones.
Another modification that can be made in the formula is the addition of DHA (Docosahexaeinoic acid), which is critical for visual acuity and brain development. Infants fed formulas that were devoid of these essential fatty acids showed significantly slower brain development and less visual acuity as babies and toddlers. Many countries in Europe and Asia require that DHA be added to infant formulas. Currently, supplemental amounts are controversial. The FDA is currently considering this ingredient to be required in infant formulas in the U.S., but there is strong opposition by infant formula manufacturers.
NaturoDoc Note: Our guesstimate is that 200 mg of DHA per quart is a conservative supplemental level.
Excerpted and adapted from The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby From Birth to Age Two, by William Sears, MD, and Martha Sears, RN, Little, Brown and Company, New York, 1993.
Naturally Healthy Infant Formula
This formula is a soy-based formula. Rice- or oatmeal-based formulas are also nutritious and well-tolerated.
To make one quart, blend the following ingredients:
• One-half teaspoon of powdered Bifidus-type acidophilus bacteria, such as Natren, Lactopriv, Eugalan, Topfer, or other powders.
• 200 mg. of calcium ascorbate crystals.
• 100 mcg. folic acid
• 1 tablespoon of whey protein powder.
• One teaspoon lecithin granules. Mix with the dry ingredients for addition to the warmed milk.
• Two teaspoons total of oil: one teaspoon virgin coconut oil, and one teaspoon flax or olive oil. Organic oils are best.
• One teaspoon of organic honey or crystallized sugar cane juice.
• One quart of plain unsweetened organic rice or almond milk.
Notes: A liquid pediatric multiple vitamin may be used with this formula; two suggestions are Floridix or NF. At 5 months, molasses may be added for extra iron, and dulse or kelp flakes can be introduced into the diet for iodine.
Dr. Lee’s Formula
• 1 qt. goat’s milk, or oat, rice, almond, or soy milk, or preferred combinations
• 200 mcg. folic acid
• 1-2 mg. B complex (dissolve a 50 mg. tablet in a 1 oz. dropper bottle of water, and use 2 droppers of this mixture in a day’s worth of formula)
• 1 tsp. virgin coconut oil
• 1 drop wheat germ oil
• 1,000 IU’s Beta-carotene (1/2 of a small capsule stirred into milk)
• 1 pinch of powdered ginger
• 1 pinch of sea salt
Serve at room temperature, or slightly warm at 85-95 degrees F.
The Farm (Tennessee) Recipe for Soy Milk
This preparation is affordable and convenient for many families to add to other infant formula recipes. Soy products, especially commercial products, have proven difficult to digest for some infants and they can even cause allergies, so either be sure your children can handle it or use other milk substitutes.
• Rinse 2-1/2 cups whole soybeans and soak in 5 cups cool water for 8-10 hours.
• Blend 1 cup soybeans with 2-1/2 cups hot water at high speed for about 1 minute, or until beans are finely ground.
• Repeat until all beans are blended.
• Put in a large pot over medium-high flame. When soy starts to boil, turn down heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour soy through cheesecloth, twisting pulp in cloth to squeeze out milk.
• Repeat process, pouring 2 cups boiling water in with remaining pulp and straining again. Supplement with food or breast milk.
Here is a Great Coffee Cake Recipe from Dr. Josh Axe. I SUBSTITUTE 2 tbsp of Flax meal and 2 tbsp of water for 1 egg to make it more macro friendly.
* Egg substitute = soak 2 tbsp of flax meal in 2 tbsp of water for about 3 minutes. | health |

If you are looking for a permanent solution to missing teeth, full arch dental implants are an excellent choice.
What are Full Arch Dental Implants?
Full arch dental implants, also known as All-on-4 implants or same-day teeth, are a revolutionary solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or are about to lose most of their natural teeth. The procedure involves strategically placing dental implants in the upper or lower jawbone to support a full arch of replacement teeth. These implants are designed to mimic the strength, function, and appearance of natural teeth, giving you a beautiful, functional smile.
The Benefits of Full Arch Dental Implants
1. Improved Aesthetics
Full arch dental implants provide a natural-looking, full set of teeth that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. The prosthetic teeth are carefully crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, resulting in a beautiful, harmonious smile. You no longer need to worry about gaps, missing teeth, or dentures that may shift or look unnatural.
2. Enhanced Functionality
Unlike traditional dentures, full arch dental implants are securely anchored to your jawbone, providing stability and functionality. You can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions and speak confidently without worrying about dentures slipping or clicking. With full arch dental implants, you regain the biting force and chewing efficiency comparable to natural teeth.
3. Long-Lasting Solution
Full arch dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. The implants integrate with the jawbone, stimulating bone growth and preventing bone loss. Unlike traditional dentures that may need frequent adjustments or replacements, full arch dental implants offer a durable and permanent solution for missing teeth.
4. Preservation of Facial Structure
When you lose multiple teeth, your facial structure can change over time, causing a sunken appearance and premature aging. Full arch dental implants support the facial structure, preventing bone loss and preserving your natural facial contours. With dental implants, you can maintain a youthful and vibrant appearance.
5. Improved Confidence and Self-Esteem
Having a perfect smile can significantly boost your confidence and self-esteem. Full arch dental implants provide you with a natural-looking smile that restores your ability to laugh, speak, and eat with confidence. You no longer need to hide your teeth or worry about dentures shifting, giving you the freedom to enjoy social interactions and daily activities without any inhibitions.

The Importance of Tracking Progress in weight loss
One of the most significant benefits of journaling for weight loss is that it helps you track your progress. When you’re trying to lose weight, it’s essential to keep track of your weight, measurements, and other relevant metrics to gauge your progress. However, journaling goes beyond just tracking numbers. It allows you to record how you feel, what you eat, and how much you exercise. By doing so, you can identify patterns and make adjustments to your diet and exercise routine accordingly.
Moreover, journaling can help you celebrate your successes and reflect on your challenges. When you see progress in your journal, it can be a great source of motivation to keep going. On the other hand, when you face setbacks, journaling can help you identify what went wrong and how you can improve. Tracking your progress through journaling can help you stay accountable and focused on your weight loss journey.
Accountability is crucial for weight loss journaling to be effective. One way to stay accountable is to share your journal with a friend or family member.

Many people have achieved their weight loss goals through journaling. One success story is that of Sarah, who lost 50 pounds by keeping a food journal. Sarah realized that she was eating mindlessly and not paying attention to portion sizes. By keeping a food journal, she became more aware of what she was eating and how much. She also identified her triggers for overeating, such as stress and boredom, and created a plan to avoid them.
Another success story is that of John, who lost 30 pounds by keeping an exercise journal. John realized that he was not pushing himself enough during his workouts and was not seeing results. By keeping an exercise journal, he was able to track his progress and see where he needed to improve. He also found that writing down his workouts helped him stay motivated and accountable.
Advanced Weight Loss Journaling Techniques
In this section, we’ll dive into advanced weight loss journaling techniques to take your practice to the next level. We’ll explore incorporating meal planning and recipe tracking into your journal, ensuring a well-balanced approach to nutrition. Additionally, we’ll discuss how journaling can help manage stress, emotions, and their impact on weight loss. You’ll also learn how to track sleep patterns and understand their relationship with your weight loss efforts.
Journaling can enhance your weight loss results in several ways. Firstly, it can help you identify your triggers and patterns. When you journal, you can record what you eat, when you eat, and how you feel afterward. By doing so, you can identify any emotional or situational triggers that may be causing you to overeat or make unhealthy food choices. Once you identify your triggers, you can create a plan to avoid them and make healthier choices.
Secondly, journaling can help you stay mindful of your eating habits. Often, we eat mindlessly, not realizing how much we’re consuming. Journaling can help you become more aware of what you’re eating and how much. By writing down what you eat, you can also track your calorie intake, which can be helpful if you’re trying to lose weight.
Lastly, journaling can help you stay accountable to yourself. When you write down your goals and track your progress, you’re more likely to stick to your plan. Moreover, when you see progress in your journal, it can be a great source of motivation to keep going.
Journaling is only effective if you do it consistently. Here are some tips to help you stay consistent:
– Set aside a specific time each day to journal, such as after breakfast or before bed.
– Keep your journal in a visible place, such as on your nightstand or desk.
– Use a journal that you enjoy writing in and that reflects your personality.
– Make journaling a habit by doing it at the same time every day.
– Don’t worry about being perfect or writing a certain amount every day. Just write what comes to mind.

Bacteriostatic Activated carbon, often erroneously called antibacterial carbon, inhibits microbiological growth and biofilms inside activated carbon filters . Activated carbon traps organics which can become a food source for any microbiological flora.
Activated carbon filters for rain water filtration should be bacteriostatic carbon, alternatively they can cause more harm than good. Severe waterborne illnesses can result from activated carbon filters that harbour bacteria .
Silver occurs naturally in the environment, mainly in the form of its very insoluble and immobile oxides, sulfides and some salts. Because silver ions are bacteriastatic, silver is used both as an emergency drinking water disinfectant and impregnated in some water filters to prevent microbial regrowth.
The specific antibacterial mechanism of silver is not clearly understood, but research with E. coli and S. aureus has shown that silver treatment of these microorganisms has resulted in DNA losing its replication ability.
Research on drinking water disinfection systems has shown that silver can be used successfully to control bacterial growth. It has also been found that the addition of copper and silver to water systems may allow the concentration of free chlorine to be reduced while still providing comparable sanitary quality of the water.
Still other research has shown that silver can be used in hospital water systems to control Legionella and in cooling towers to control bacterial growth. Silver has also been used to enhance the effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in inactivating viruses in water. Also see : https://www.watertechonline.com/silver-copper-have-anti-bacterial-effects/
How does Silver inhibit microbial growth ?
When copper and silver ions and nanoparticles are released into water, these cations (positively charged) are a potent microbiocide. These ions bond with negatively charged areas on the microorganism’s cell walls, affecting cell wall permeability and minimising the intake of life-sustaining nutrients.
Inside an algae cell, copper and silver attack sulfur-containing amino acid radicals in the proteins used for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis and reproductive processes are blocked, leading to cell lysis (disintegration) and death.
The greatest benefit of copper and silver is that they remain active in water, providing long-term residual, non-toxic protection against recontamination. They remain in water until they flocculate, or form masses with algae and bacteria and then become large enough to be removed by filtration.
One advantage of silver ionisation is that both substances are retained in trace amounts in the water and continue to have an antimicrobial effect over weeks and months. Even after the ionisation system has been switched off, the effect persists. | health |

The key word in both products is pastured. The word lets you know, as a consumer, that our birds have continuous access to fresh grass. Chickens, like most birds, are omnivores, so in addition to the grass in the pasture the chickens hunt insects and find weed seeds. Taken together this pasture diet is extremely important to the health of the animals and so to our health.
Because of the pasture diet meat, dairy, and eggs from pastured animals carry an almost endless list of nutritional benefits. In general pastured animal products are low in bad fats, high in good fats, high in vitamins, and rich in anti-oxidants.
In addition, we raise our animals without antibiotics or hormones. This is important because 70% of antibiotics used in this country are used on animals that aren’t even sick. The medications are given as a preventative measure because the production system is so unhealthy undedicated animals would quickly sicken and die. This widespread use of antibiotics in animals is contributing to the rise of drug resistant diseases.

A Mother’s Blessing for Life
We were "celebrating" Breast Feeding week from August 1 till yesterday....and India
“A newborn baby has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three." - Dr. Grantly Dick-Read
The word mammal is from the Latin “mammālis”, meaning “of the breast” and so a mammal – which includes us humans - is characterized by milk-producing mammary glands in the female for nourishing its young. You’re thinking – is this really the place for a piece on breastfeeding? I’m saying – in a country a baby is born almost every 2 seconds, everybody is either having a baby or knows someone who is about to. So, getting your breastfeeding primer updated is going to come handy, one way or another.
Now we all have a vague idea that breastfeeding is somehow good for the baby. But UNICEF is a tad more specific about it. “ If every baby were exclusively breastfed from birth for 6 months, an estimated 1.5 million lives would be saved each year. Not just saved but enhanced, because breast milk is the perfect food for a baby"s first 6 months of life - no manufactured product can equal it.”
Really? Nothing but breast milk for the first six months of a baby’s life?
Mummy knows best…
This is how all other mammals rear their young and so why should we humans be any different. And to underscore that point, the experts recommend that breastfeeding should start within the first hour of the baby being born, preferably in the first 30 minutes. Mainly because in the first 2-3 days after birth, the mother’s breast produces colostrum, Nature’s most wonderful gift to the life that’s just begun. Colostrum is the perfect first food for the newborn, low in fat, and high in carbohydrates, protein and easy to digest. Besides, it has a laxative effect, helping the baby to pass early stools and excrete excess bilirubin which can cause jaundice. Colostrum is also the baby"s first immunization because it is loaded with leukocytes, disease fighting protective white cells and IgA, a major antibody. Finally, it protects the baby’s extremely fragile and vulnerable digestive tract, “painting” it with a barrier that seals it against infections.
No wonder then that doctors insist that nothing should be given before that all-important first breastfeed.
And till the baby is 6 months old, breast milk is the perfect and only food that the baby needs. For many reasons.
Nutritionally, breast milk is the perfect formula - the right kind of proteins, fats, lactose, vitamins, minerals, water and all other nutrients in the right mix.
Breast milk is Nature’s ready-to-eat food – available whenever the baby wants it. And you don’t even have to “heat and serve because the temperature is perfect for the baby’s delicate mouth. The IBFAN (International Baby Food Action Network) poster promoting breastfeeding in Canada shows a pair of beautiful breasts with the slogan “Fast food outlets”!
Breast milk is not just free; it’s also free from any kind of contamination.
Breastfeeding protects the child against several childhood infections, many of them life-threatening. In the first 2 months of life, an infant who is not exclusively breastfed is up to 25 times more likely to die from diarrhoea and 4 times more likely to die from pneumonia than a breastfed baby.
Breastfeeding ensures a better immune system, making the baby respond better to vaccination
Most of all, breast milk is more than just baby food. It is also that other immeasurably wonderful nutrient – mother’s love. There is nothing more tender and loving than the act of a mother gently cuddling her baby to her warm, soft body. And the baby cannot but respond. So, a breastfed baby is not only a healthy baby but a blissfully happy one too!
“But what if Mummy doesn’t have enough?”
"Breastfeeding is an unsentimental metaphor for how love works, in a way. You don"t decide how much and how deeply to love--you respond to the beloved, and give with joy exactly as much as they want." - Marni Jackson, columnist and author of The Mother Zone
This the most prevalent and unfortunate myth about breast feeding and the constant worry is that maybe the baby is not getting enough milk when it is breast fed. And even more unfortunately, one of the single biggest stumbling block to the adequate production of breast milk is the mother’s own anxiety that she is not producing enough milk for her baby. And that is the ultimate irony. Because, breast feeding itself promotes the production of breast milk. It is the sucking action of the baby’s mouth that causes the production of the hormone prolactin which in turn produces the milk. So, the more a baby suckles, the more milk is produced. Which is the other reason why experts insist that the baby should be breast fed within 30-60 minutes of being born. This is when the baby"s suckling reflex is strongest, and the baby is more alert.
Now about “enough”. Barring conditions like severe maternal malnutrition and anemia, too many pregnancies, almost every mother can exclusively breast feed. And there are 2 very simple and easy indicators to show that your baby is well fed. First, if it urinates at least 7-10 in 24 hrs. And second, if it is putting on weight - at the rate of an average of ½ kg per month in the first 6-7 months.
Oh, there is no other thing that inhibits the production of breast milk – the use of pacifiers or bottles. The sucking action required for these is very different from suckling at the breast. So, the baby gets confused, doesn’t suckle the breast properly causing the mother to produce less breastmilk.
If that hasn’t already answered that often asked question of why not combine breast feeding with bottle feeding, let me elaborate…..
Hitting the bottle
We humans are a strange bunch. We throw away what is natural and free and healthy and pay money for unhealthy substitutes. The global annual sales baby food amounts to 16.5 billion dollars. (Coke and associated brands sell 15 billion dollars annually) The negative effects of bottle feeding and/or feeding a baby anything other than breast milk (including malnutrition and exposure to life-threatening infections) for the first 6 months of its life are so many and so serious that the World Health Assembly passed the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes in 1981. The attempt was to stop the damage to breastfeeding through the promotion of substitute products. The Indian government passed the Infant Milk Substitute Act in 1992 and further amended it in 2003 so that it prohibits the marketing of all kinds of foods for babies younger than 2 years of age.
Now you know why I said, “hitting the bottle…”
Blessed for life
The blessings that we always seek and crave for is that of our mother’s – unconditional, pure, complete and lifelong. Like breast milk. Because its effects are life long. Research now shows that children who have been breastfed grow up to be adults that:
Are Smarter – The longer you breast feed, the more it increases your child’s IQ, reading comprehension, mathematical ability, and scholastic ability – a result of the special “fatty acids" in breast milk. Remember, by age 6, which is when children generally start school, most of the brain"s neural connections are already made
Can see better – again, it’s those special “fatty acids" that make the eyes bright, the eyesight sharp.
Are healthier - Children who are breastfed for 1 year or longer have 50% less risk of being diabetic compared to children fed less than one year. Breast fed children also have significantly lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure and some cancers in adult life
Are thinner Breastfeeding reduces the incidence of adult obesity.
We are politely called a “developing” country. Put in harsher language, many of us are poor, some barely managing two proper meals in a day and never you mind what they are saying about our GDP being the 3rd largest in the world. With poverty comes disease and deprivation. And the most cruelly affected are little children - 50% of Indian children under the age of 3 are malnourished and of the 27 million children born every year, 16 % will die before they are 5. But, as long as a mother can breast feed, developing country or not, she can never be poor, capable of showering her feed her child the wealth of love and health that will last a lifetime. (Valued at the cost of fresh animal milk (Rs. 15 per liter), annual market value of realistic production of breastmilk in India would be about Rs 5916 crores or roughly the 2005-2006 budget allocation for Agriculture!)
But sadly, today, 54.2% of Indian mothers exclusively breast feed their babies till the age of 3 months and that figure drops to 19.4 % for babies aged 4-6 months.
Breastfeeding is an ancient tradition in our land. It’s time we went back to it. To protect our greatest, most precious and yet most vulnerable national treasure – our children.
(Grateful thanks to Dr. Shobha Banapurmath who not only sugge0sted the idea for this article and provided support and material. She is a pediatrician, representing BPNI or the Breast Promotion Network of India, “a national network of organizations and individuals dedicated to promote mother and child health through protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding.”
Breast feeding primer
* Till your baby is 6 months old, ONLY breast feed. No other food or drink, not even water, is usually needed during this period
* Breastfeed immediately after birth preferably within 30-60 of birth to give your baby the all-important colostrum. Nothing should be given before the first breastfeed
* Breastfeed unrestrictedly and on demand.
* There is no substitute to breast milk
* Bottle-feeding is unnecessary and even harmful, being the leading cause of loose stools in babies
* Pacifiers and bottle confuse the baby’s sucking action and reduce the production of breastmilk.
* Continue breastfeeding for two years or beyond, introducing solid foods only after 6 months of age.
* Homemade, family food is the best solid food for your baby.
And Mummy is happier and healthier too….
If breastfeeding makes healthy, happy babies, it isn’t too bad for the mummies either. It
* Reduces post-delivery bleeding and chances of maternal anemia.
* Obesity is less common among breastfeeding mothers.
* Has a contraceptive effect.
* Lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancers.
* Builds bone strength and protects against osteoporosis
Did you know?
* That malnutrition amongst children happens in the first two years of life and is virtually IRREVERSIBLE after that?
* That a baby’s crying can make breast milk flow? A hormone called oxytocin causes the "let-down" reflex – when the mother hears the baby cry, milk is “let down” or ejected.
* That anthropologist Katherine Dettwyler estimates that if culture did not tell us to do otherwise, we would breast feed our children somewhere till between 2.5 and 7 years of age | health |

Provide is seeking to change this through the introduction of the ‘My Home, My Voice’ Fellowship, which will gather a small cohort of people living in rural counties across the US and support them in giving voice to the reproductive health experiences in their communities. The goal of the Fellowship is to establish rural women as vital participants in discussions of access to reproductive healthcare.
This endeavor is quite different from Provide’s usual focus on educating and supporting health care and social service workers around abortion access, but it helps support our goal of making abortion more accessible in rural communities. We saw that there was a need and, although our work isn’t primarily in communications, we recognized that we were uniquely placed in the community to help develop and amplify rural voices around abortion, reproductive healthcare, and healthcare in general. Much of our best work has come from recognizing a need and seeing if there’s something we can do to help.
This Fellowship is our first dedicated effort to cultivate new leadership among rural women, supporting them to give voice to the experience of accessing reproductive health care. Our vision is to help create a voice for our movement on rural women’s health access that comes from rural women themselves.
We hope to find writers and developing voices who are passionate both about their rural communities and about healthcare access because their voices need to be heard, and we’d like to help them do that. Our goal is not only to give them support in their writing but to support opportunities for them speak up in person as well.
To that end, the Fellowship aims to choose five promising Fellows and to provide them with a space in which to write, introduce them to key figures in the reproductive health movement, and give them access to professional development tools, like a coach, webinars, and conference placement. We want to promote their own goals around communicating about rural health, especially around reproductive and abortion care.
This aligns with Provide’s broader goal of improving abortion access because it will support rural communities to lead the conversation about how best to provide care for those in rural spaces. In conversations about reproductive health, rights and justice, rural voices need hearing.
Provide works to make sure that women have access to abortion, especially those living in low-resource rural and Southern communities. Provide empowers and educates health and social service providers to be able to give the care and support women facing unintended pregnancy need. Our work is rooted in the on-the-ground realities of women’s lives and of the systems and resources that are available to them. It is guided by our conviction that everyone has a role to play in supporting women’s access to abortion.
We believe accessible abortion is one of the essential components of women’s dignity, autonomy, and well being. By empowering health and social service providers to respond to women’s needs in a way that is rooted in patient and client-centered care, instead of abortion’s moral and political controversies, we can help normalize abortion, generate empathy, and build capacity where it is most needed. | health |

I bought into the franchise about 2 weeks ago, I have lost approx. 1 pound per week! That in itself is pretty exciting, I really don't need to lose a whole lot of weight, but I do need to get my cholesterol down. I have inherited bad cholesterol and hope to fix it while I'm still young (smile). After being on Bios Life Slim for 6 weeks my mom, who has hereditary high cholesterol as well and has been on meds for years without much success, just went to the Dr. yesterday. She called me with the great news that her cholesterol levels, both good and bad have become almost normal....AMAZING! Next step for her is to get off the meds, for me, it's to never need them in the first place!
My sister has been using Bios Life Slim for about 4 weeks and is beginning to look downright awesome, she has lost some serious weight as well as inches!

If you have a musty smell in your home or business, can see mold growing or know that you have a moisture issue going on…It might be time to call in a mold professional for a proper mold inspection. We don’t recommend trying to remove mold yourself if you don’t have the proper equipment. At the very least, a commercial grade hepa vacuum, an air handler/scrubber, a properly set up containment zone and a respirator…to name a few.
Mold Remediation and Inspection
Mold lives naturally in homes and offices, and can grow undetected between walls, underneath floorboards, and near damp surfaces. However, most people will discover mold only when they can see or smell it, therefore mold remediation and mold inspections are important to have conducted by a professional mold inspector.
Mold problems left unattended and uncontrolled can quickly increase and reach dangerous levels. The longer a mold issue sits, the more difficult it will be to remove. Hazardous mold levels can cause several adverse health effects, such as:
- Respiratory problems
- Runny Nose
- Nasal Congestion
- Chronic Cough
- Sinus Headaches
And can be particularly dangerous to those with asthma or low immune systems, pregnant and nursing mothers, infants, and the elderly.
Professional Service Company will send a certified professional mold inspector to your home or office, and perform a limited scope inspection or a complete inspection of your location. We are the mold removal company you can trust to handle any, and all, of your mold and moisture problems. With commercial mold removal services conveniently located in your neighborhood, including black mold removal, and toxic mold removal, you can count on your mold problem being taken care of when you call PSC. | health |

The new formulation, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2020, uses a unique caprylate chromatography process, which significantly reduces procoagulant activity and IgG aggregates. It also includes FDA labeling for capacity to remove pathogenic prions. HyperHEP B is the newest version of Grifols’ current HBIG, HyperHEP B S/D, which is presently prescribed globally in over 20 countries. Earlier this year Grifols, in partnership with Direct Relief, donated six million international units (IU) of HyperHEP B S/D to various underserved countries around the world.
“Since the launch of the first version of HyperHEP B 45 years ago, millions of patients worldwide have relied on this critical product to decrease risks associated with hepatitis B exposure,” said Bill Zabel, President, Grifols North America Sales and Commercial Operations. “With a continued commitment to improving the lives of patients, we’re establishing new purification standards around this critical treatment. This new formulation increases the long-standing confidence physicians have in Grifols’ market leading hyperimmune portfolio.”
It is estimated that between 800,000 and 1.4 million people in the U.S. are currently infected with hepatitis B. For patients who have not been previously vaccinated, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend immediate prophylaxis following exposure to hepatitis B, including both HBIG and hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine as soon as possible after exposure (preferably within 24 hours).
“HBIG for use in prophylaxis is an important treatment choice for our patients who are exposed to the hepatitis B virus. HyperHEP B gives us the flexibility we need with three different presentations, including a pre-filled neonatal syringe,” said Mike Cushner, Director of Inventory, SUNY Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, NY. “The unique manufacturing process yields a product that aligns well with our own focus on patient well-being in procuring therapies that meet high safety and quality standards.”
Additionally, an estimated 25,000 infants are born to HBsAg-positive mothers each year in the U.S. and about 90% of infants with hepatitis B go on to develop chronic infection. For infants born to hepatitis B-infected mothers, the ACIP and CDC recommends that they receive postexposure prophylaxis to reduce their risk for perinatal hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Postexposure prophylaxis consists of HepB vaccine and HBIG administered within 12 hours of birth. Grifols is the only manufacturer that presently produces HBIG in a neonatal syringe format specifically to protect infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers.
HyperHEP B will now be available to U.S. healthcare providers and patients in three sizes (0.5 mL neonatal syringe, 1 mL vial, and 5 mL vial) through all major distributors. This new formulation is manufactured at Grifols’ state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Clayton, N.C., according to the highest quality and safety standards. Each vial or syringe contains anti-HBs antibody equivalent to or exceeding the potency of anti-HBs in a U.S. reference HBIG (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, FDA).
Important Safety Information for HyperHEP B® (hepatitis B immune globulin [human])
HyperHEP B® (hepatitis B immune globulin [human]) is indicated for postexposure prophylaxis in the following situations: acute exposure to blood containing HBsAg, perinatal exposure of infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers, sexual exposure to an HBsAg-positive person and household exposure to persons with acute HBV infection.
HyperHEP B should be given with caution to patients with a history of prior systemic allergic reactions following the administration of human IgG preparations. Epinephrine should be available.
In patients who have severe thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder that would contraindicate intramuscular injections, hepatitis B immune globulin (human) should be given only if the expected benefits outweigh the risks.
Local pain and tenderness at the injection site, urticaria, and angioedema may occur; anaphylactic reactions, although rare, have been reported following the injection of human immunoglobulin preparations. Administration of live virus vaccines (eg, MMR) should be deferred for approximately 3 months after hepatitis B immune globulin (human) administration.
HyperHEP B is made from human plasma. Products made from human plasma may contain infectious agents, such as viruses, and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent that can cause disease. There is also the possibility that unknown infectious agents may be present in such products.

Red light therapy is a skin care treatment offered as an alternative to Physician administered laser therapy. It treats skin discoloration, lightens age spots, reduces wrinkles, remediates eczema, clears acne, reduces the appearance of rosacea and heals scarring.
The FDA does approve of light therapy and says that use of red light at 633 nm has a “non significant risk” status and is completely safe for the eyes, and uses no harmful UV rays.
There are two kinds of red light therapy that are frequently confused. One is offered at tanning salons in their beds and also at exercise facilities. Those types of red light therapy use infra red rays which are heat sources and you cannot get them as close to the skin as they need to be to be useful to the skin, though they can be useful for joint pain relief. The second kind of red light therapy used is LED light therapy technology. This is the kind Salon Nouveau is offering and there is virtually no heat involved. To stimulate collagen, a very specific frequency of red light must be used from the light spectrum. Tanning bed red bulbs are 633 nm. Our LED bulbs are 700 nm, exactly the part of the red spectrum that is needed to be absorbed through all the layers of the skin, reaching down to the mitochondria in the bottom layer of the dermis. This layer of the skin is responsible for producing collagen and elastin which keep the skin looking young. With age, the body is less able to produce collagen and elastin, so stimulating the mitochondria there is clearly rejuvenating. The LED bulbs can penetrate to a depth of 10 mm, reaching all the way to the bottom of the dermis to the fatty layer, which also makes it beneficial as a natural anti-inflammatory treatment, leaving sagging skin plumped, radiant and glowing. To have red light therapy be effective, the bulbs must be very close to the skin, just another reason tanning bed bulbs will not be efficient.
The first 3 or 4 treatments should be closer together with following treatments once or twice a week until the desired effect is achieved. The therapy should be maintained so that the results are lasting, with treatments as needed once or twice a month depending on your skin condition and age. | health |

At Kevin Spees Dentistry, your comfort and health are our top priority. Because of this, Dr. Spees and his team are proud to provide dental fillings for those with decayed, cracked, broken, or worn teeth!
What is a dental filling?
Dental fillings are made of tooth-colored resin that is placed on a damaged tooth to restore its natural shape and function. This resin is typically made of a combination of finely-ground acrylic and quartz-like particles. The material can be tinted to match the color of your surrounding teeth.
These filings are used for a variety of treatments. For those with tooth decay, this treatment can be used to fill the gap left after the decayed portion of the tooth is cleared away. Also, it can be used to fill in cracks and restore broken parts of a tooth. These types of fillings are also often used in cosmetic tooth bonding.
What are the benefits of a dental filling?
Dental fillings restore the appearance and function of a damaged tooth. The material can be shaped and molded as it is applied to the tooth to provide a natural final look. In addition, fillings offer a protective layer over the tooth's surface, which can effectively seal off bacteria. This can help prevent further infection and decay. Once the decay is removed and the filling applied, your teeth will look and feel like new again.
What is the difference between inlays and onlays?
Inlays and Onlays are often referred to as partial crowns. These are usually made from porcelain or composite resin in an off-site laboratory. Once the inlay or onlay is ready, it is cemented to the tooth. This treatment is usually reserved for extensive damage – such as if more than a third of a tooth's surface is damaged.
Fillings are made in our office and do not take as long to apply. They are ideal for smaller injuries that do not need extensive work. Fillings are a natural-looking, cost-effective option for those with surface-level damage.
What is the procedure for a filling?
After an initial consultation with Dr. Spees, a local anesthetic will be applied to the affected area. Dr. Spees and his skilled team will remove any damaged or decayed areas of the tooth before placing the filling. The material will be shaped to match your natural tooth. As a final step, the resin will be hardened and your dentist will check your bite to ensure the alignment is comfortable.
With proper care, fillings can last between 5 and 12 years. | health |

This adjustable stool is made with a lightweight yet sturdy aluminum base and upholstered in black antimicrobial vinyl that's easy to clean and disinfect, which is particularly helpful in healthcare settings.
The ergonomic benefits of this split-seat saddle stool make it a great option for promoting employee wellness and satisfaction. Many studies report numerous health benefits of using saddle seat stools. Saddle seat stools promote better posture and open up the hips and chest. They also relieve lower back pressure by shifting your body weight to your thigh muscles rather than having most of the weight on the back in a normal seated position.
These stools engage your core muscles and promote active sitting so the body doesn't become as stiff or uncomfortable during long periods of sitting. The design of the stool also works to loosen tight hip flexors that may contribute to or worsen back pain and discomfort.
Split-seat saddle stools offer the additional benefit of improved ventilation and superior adjustability. The left cushion can be adjusted outwards to achieve the proper seat width for each user. Additionally, the entire cushion can be adjusted to a forward pitch if desired. The cushioned backrest offers additional back support during work-intensive procedures and provides added stability while sitting.
Employees across all industries can benefit from ergonomic features and potential health benefits of saddle stools.

I undertake assessments in order to better understand the psychological difficulties being faced by a person and to work out if, and how best, I can help.
Typically, a first appointment will consist of gathering information about an individual's current difficulties and how they cope with them. I will also discuss with them their background and any events in their life that may have contributed to their current difficulties. Clients only need to discuss things that they are comfortable with.
I deliver specialist assessments on adults, young people and children for:
- Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Specific Learning Difficulties
- Challenging Behaviours
- Low Self-esteem
- Panic attacks and agoraphobia
- Social anxiety
- Generalised Anxiety (Worry)
- Hypochondriasis (Health Anxiety)
- Obsessional and compulsive behaviours
- Specific Phobias
- Post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
- Work related stress
- Anger control problems
- Sleep disruption
- Attachment difficulties
- Relationship difficulties
Following assessment, the client and I design and undertake individually tailored support packages and therapeutic intervention. These seek to build a deeper understanding of the psychological difficulties faced and to explore associated emotions, thoughts and behaviours.
Therapy involves deriving a shared understanding or formulation of the client’s difficulties. That is, consolidating the gathered information, exploring repeating patterns throughout their life and looking at how the past might have impinged upon the present.
Intervention involves activities outside the therapy session aimed at adjusting or managing the person’s emotions, thoughts and behaviours, such as keeping a diary.
Below are some of the therapies that I provide.
I provide medico-legal assessments, reports and expert witness testimony, throughout the UK, in a number of specialist areas. These include cognitive functioning, intellectual disability, personality disorder, mental health, forensic and risk assessment (including malingering) and family and parenting assessment.
I use an extensive battery of standardised psychometric assessment measures that are widely recognised and have proven validity and reliability. I also deliver effective psychological treatment when it is recommended as part of the medico-legal process.
The instructions I receive are wide in scope and encompass most areas of the law, for example, litigation, criminal and family law.
I recognise the importance that a clear understanding of an individual's circumstances and mental health state pre and post injury should be established. This can assist in prescribing an accurate future prognosis.
I provide comprehensive assessments that inform the court of the extent to which mental health problems, underlying personality disturbance or cognitive impairment may have influenced a defendant's actions.
I undertake comprehensive assessments of the psychological well-being of children and their relationships with adults involved in their care. Parenting assessments can assist the court in determining the most effective way forward for parenting and parenting support needs.
Training to healthcare professionals
I deliver training to those caring for children, young people, adults (including those with severe and enduring mental health problems and learning disabilities) and families in a number of settings, for example, residential settings, supportive housing, children's homes and fostering agencies. I deliver training on-site, anywhere in the UK, for groups of up to 16 people and lasting between one and five days.
Training is aimed at improving the carer's insight into the difficulties faced by the people they are supporting. Training encourages reflection on their own working practice and interactional style, as well as on the dynamics of the wider team. It equips them with a toolkit of evidence-based intervention strategies they can translate directly into their day-to-day work, boosting skills, knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm.
Where required, training courses can be augmented with on-going consultancy, and later, with post-course supervision for staff teams. Consultancy is highly effective in terms of maintaining the knowledge and skill base of staff teams long after there are trained. It is also a very powerful way of supporting and reinforcing the application in practice of the therapeutic interventions they learn through the training process. This is more likely to achieve the best possible outcomes for the organisation.
Below is a list of the training courses I offer. All are highly engaging and all are underpinned by strong theoretical foundations and research evidence recommended by NICE and the Department of Health. However, if a specific knowledge or skills gap has been identified, I am happy to develop a new training course that is tailored to your precise requirements.
- Managing challenging behaviour
- Cognitive-behavioural management of challenging behaviour
- Psychological approaches to de-escalating anger and aggression
- Child development and attachment
- Enhancing self-esteem
- Positive approaches to risk management
- Introduction to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- Introduction to Autistic Spectrum Disorders
- Mental Health Awareness
- Understanding and managing self-harm
- Child sexual abuse: The road to recovery
- Managing the symptoms of psychosis
- Enhancing self-esteem in people with psychosis
- Understanding Bipolar Disorder
- Understanding Eating Disorders
- Working with trauma
- Developing effective therapeutic relationships
I offer a range of services aimed at improving mental health, well-being and productivity in the workplace. These services are only implemented following a process of detailed consultation allowing me to understand an organisation’s specific HR or management needs and to then tailor interventions accordingly. Below are some of the programmes I have previously delivered.
I help employees identify early indicators of stress and burnout in terms of people’s cognitive processes, emotional responses, physiological sensations and behavioural patterns. Tailored strategies can be implemented to enhance resilience and the ability to cope with sustained pressure.
Individuals can be assisted to develop strategies for identifying internal and external conflict and to find helpful ways to resolve these.
I have developed a highly effective approach to optimising the performance of individuals who are working in demanding roles. Programmes include an assessment of information processing, memory and the use of different cognitive modalities in task performance. I provide tailored strategies that significantly enhance working memory, information processing and efficiency in performing work roles.
I help individuals and teams to communicate more effectively and to manage their anxiety in social and performance situations. I intervene to change unhelpful thinking patterns, control emotional and physical reactions and replace unhelpful behaviours with positive coping strategies.
I deliver training programmes that enable employees to identify and consider the effectiveness of their current coping strategies, and to learn a range of specific evidence-based techniques that help them minimise the effects of stress. | health |

Jimenez-Garcia, PhD. | Director of Medical and Scientific Affairs
The therapeutic properties of the cannabis plant have been claimed in Spain since the time of Al-Andalus. Perhaps that’s why most of us bemoan Spain’s apparent regulatory inertia when it comes to cannabis, noting that others in the European Union (EU), such as Germany and Portugal, have already regulated medicinal use under a modern framework. However, recent developments in Spain have given some a reason to change their tune, with the Government backing reforms. Here’s our initial take on this important headline.
A Brief History of Medicinal Cannabis Regulation in Spain
The main legislation that applies to the medicinal use and cultivation of cannabis in Spain still derives from the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and its updated protocol (specifically Law 17/1976 on narcotics and subsequent modifications). However, to date patient access to legal medicinal cannabis (excluding pharmaceuticals such as Sativex) has been extremely limited, if not to say non-existent.
Looking back into the history of our country, we discover that intense campaigning for legalization of medical cannabis has seen limited success, both at a national level as well as various autonomous communities. For example, the Catalonian parliament passed a progressive bill in 2001, which urged the central Government to carry out the necessary steps needed to federally authorize the therapeutic use of cannabis. Alas, it would be two decades before seeing any real progress on the matter.
Meanwhile in 2005, Sativex, a cannabinoid-based drug prescribed to alleviate certain symptoms of multiple sclerosis, was approved for use by AEMPS (The Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices). Then in 2021, Epidyolex, an anticonvulsant for the adjuvant treatment of Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndromes, considered two of the most severe forms of epileptic encephalopathy, was also approved. While some patients in Spain enjoy greater access to cannabis-based medicines after these developments, the combined sales of Sativex & Epidyolex suggest that the majority are still turning to grey or illicit markets for supply.
A Small Step In The Right Direction
In mid 2021, after mounting political and social pressure calling for the Government to implement a broader, more inclusive regulatory framework, the Congress of Deputies (Congress) finally decided to act. A sub-committee was setup with a mandate to analyze the regulation of cannabis for medicinal use in other countries, among other topics. Interdisciplinary experts took part and submitted their reflections, which culminated in a draft technical report being issued in May 2022, which included recommendations to be considered as guidelines for developing the regulation. After some debate and negotiations resulting in amendments to the initial draft, the sub-committee approved the report’s recommendations on June 21st 2022.
The following week, the Health and Consumption Commission (a permanent legislative commission within Congress) gave the report its formal approval on June 27th 2022, marking the beginning of the process of creating the regulation which will govern the medicinal use of cannabis in Spain.
At this point, AEMPS, has six months to adopt the recommendations of the Commission and fit them into existing Spanish law. Although, it’s unclear whether this is a fixed deadline or the Agency will request additional time considering the size of the task at hand. It’s also our understanding that since the Government has already agreed to follow the recommendations laid out in the report, and rejected the need to elevate the subject to Congress for debate and approval, the regulations prepared by AEMPS will not be subject to subsequent votes, be that in Congress or the Senate.
What Was Recommended?
There’s a lot to unpack from the reports recommendations but also a lot left to define. As the saying goes, “the devil is always in the detail”. In this case, the detail rests on AEMPS and how they interpret the initial guidelines, which should translate into regulation by the end of the year.
The report recommends that medicinal cannabis be restricted to a subset of patients seeking relief from a defined list of indications, which include:
Access to medicinal cannabis can be extended to other therapeutic cases not already indicated when studies provide consistent evidence of its efficacy.
Reading between the lines, the recommendations imply that patients will not be able to access medical cannabis as a treatment option of first resort. Instead, it appears that cannabis should be considered only when more conventional treatments have failed. Nevertheless, it must be noted that this is not entirely clear in the report.
Who Will Prescribe?
The report recommends that prescriptions of medicinal cannabis must be carried out exclusively by health professionals and preferably by medical specialists with skills in areas covered by the authorized indications, as long as they are free of potential conflicts of interest. In their interpretation of these recommendations, it’s our hope that AEMPS broaden the scope of prescribers to include other specialists and GP’s in order to facilitate better patient access. The report also indicates that training in the use of medicinal cannabis among qualified prescribers should be carried out – the content of which and by who are also not clear at this stage.
A lot of debate centered around distribution mechanisms, particularly decisions regarding where medicinal cannabis will be dispensed. The final report states that dispensing must be done from the health system pharmacy network and preferably hospital pharmacies. However, the door has been left open to the inclusion of community pharmacies that meet certain requirements. Whether this includes general or compounding pharmacies, or both is yet to be determined.
Types of Products
On this particular subject covered by the recommendations, there’s a lot left open to interpretation. It appears the type of medicinal cannabis products allowed under new regulation will be limited to extracts and/or standardized cannabis preparations. Furthermore, the use of magistral formulas (individual medications that are prepared by the pharmacist) based on extracts and/or standardized preparations will also be evaluated for certain cases. A more precise definition and under what conditions products will be manufactured, registered and distributed still needs to be developed.
Cannabis flower and other types of preparations that are available in European Union countries will also be considered for approval but only for R&D purposes i.e. strictly for use in clinical and other scientific trials.
Those expecting a six month turn around, as some headlines have suggested, may be disappointed. Practically speaking, it could take at least 12-18 months before we see medicinal cannabis available in the Spanish market. What lies ahead is an incredibly complex task to assemble all the elements of a robust, patient-centric and inclusive medicinal cannabis system. Even if regulation is in place by the end of the year, there’s a lot that comes after this.
A multidisciplinary effort is needed to develop things like pathology-driven treatment protocols, general and specific education for health professionals in the field of cannabis medicine, product registration process, supply chain infrastructure, downstream services including clinical assistance programs for patients and much more. This of course is assuming that the political winds keep blowing in the right direction. With a federal election slated for late 2023, there may still be an additional twist to this tale.
Spain is more prepared than many other EU countries were prior to their regulatory reforms. For starters it boasts a rich ecosystem supported by top scientists and academics from leading universities with deep expertise in cannabis research already. It has a thriving agricultural sector with active medicinal cannabis cultivation projects, ensuring long-term production sovereignty (a total of 16 research and commercial licenses already issued at time of writing this article) and world-class pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing capabilities. Perhaps most importantly, Spain has significant public support for the legalization of medicinal cannabis.
Overall, we remain extremely optimistic about the prospects of a regulated medicinal cannabis market in Spain. It won’t always be perfect; it will evolve as we do. What’s certain today is that we’ve taken our first steps and that’s good news for everyone – especially for those patients whose lives could materially change thanks to one amazing plant called cannabis.

The Bioimpedence Analysis (BIA) Machine scans your body in about 60 seconds. Using the machine we can accurately measure your:
• Body fat percentage
• Lean Body Mass
• BMI (Body Mass Index)
• Age match to body
• Skeletal Muscle mass
• Protein mass
• Visceral fat level (the hidden fat around your internal organs)
• BMR (Basic metabolic rate)
This allows us to track your body composition, health- and fitness level. Regardless if you are training for muscle gains, to lose weight or to maintain a good health it is important and also interesting to know what is really going on inside of your body.
You may think you are losing weight (fat) when you are in fact burning muscle instead of fat. You may feel healthy but store a lot of fat around your internal organs which is hidden for the eye but can make a big difference to your health. Or maybe your skeletal muscle mass (muscles that are attached to your bones i.e. quads, hamstrings, biceps etc.) is lower than you expect even though you are working hard in the gym every day.
By undergoing a scan we can get information that we can use to help develop a training and/or nutrition plan for you, motivate you to work harder to reach your goal and to help you get healthier and stronger.
This can be done as a one-time scan to know where you are at with your health or fitness but to get best results and to accurately track your progress, the scans should be done once every 6-8 weeks.
The scan takes approximately 60 seconds to complete. Compared to the commonly used way of measure body fat percentage, (callipers) you do not have to get undressed to do this scan. No awkward undressing in front of a stranger for him/her to awkwardly pinch you all over your body. You can undertake this scan wearing anything you feel comfortable in.
You simply step up on the electrode scale, grip the handles with electrodes and wait for 30-60 seconds until the scan is completed.
To think about before doing a scan
Eat as per normal routines on the day of your scan but it is recommended not to eat within 2 hours before the scan.
Empty your bladder before the test
If possible, empty your bladder just before the test to allow for a more accurate body fat result.
Coffee and alcohol
Caffeine and alcohol cause dehydration in your muscles which may affect the test result. If possibly, abstain from consuming alcohol 24 hours prior the test.
Breast implants may increase the body fat reading by around 2-4%. However, the progress tracking will still be accurate.
Certain steroids can affect your body’s density and can therefore affect the Bioelectrical Impedance value which could affect the actual measurement.
It is not advised to scan if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker | health |

1. Helps You Regain Independence
It can be a blow to the dignity if you need help doing basic hygiene, even if it is only minor help to enter and exit the bathtub. A walk-in tub can give back your independence. This is especially important if you live alone, as it means you can bathe when it is convenient to you and not only when there is in-home help available.
2. Increases Safety
Safety can be a real concern in the bathtub, no matter your age. Slip and fall accidents are responsible for many injuries and even deaths. Walk-in tubs are safer to get in and out of. Further, there are additional safety bars and seats inside the tub to make a slip even less likely. Caution is still necessary, but the walk-in tub is not as dangerous as the step-over tub wall.
3. Aids with Aging In Place Goals
If aging in place is your goal, the bathroom can be one of the more challenging rooms to remodel to meet this goal. Safety bars help only so much, particularly if the tub or shower has a lip that can make it hard to step into. A walk-in tub with its handy door makes it easier to bathe unassisted or with only minimal assistance as you age in your home. Most adults will suffer at least a short-term mobility issue at some point as they age, so preparing the bathroom before you need a walk-in tub is ideal.
4. Offers Therapeutic Options
Walk-in tubs provide more than safety and accessibility benefits, they can also help you age with more comfort. Many tubs come with spa features, such as massage jets and hydrotherapy settings. These options can relieve sore muscles and tired joints, helping you recover more quickly from the normal effects of aging. Even younger people, especially those that are active, can benefit from the therapeutic options.
5. Offers Home Value Benefits
A walk-in tub can increase the value of your home, especially if you live in an area with an aging population that may treasure the ability to age in place safely. Many people have to retrofit bathrooms later in life due to accessibility concerns, so it adds value if the bathroom has already been remodeled with a walk-in tub.

And all thanks to the beneficial properties of these two ingredients. When combined, they provide powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. In addition, ginger and olive oil promote good digestion and blood circulation. It’s also a great diuretic.
Ginger is also characterized by its regenerative and aphrodisiac properties. Ginger root is often used as a condiment to food to add a savory flavor. And its special aroma makes ginger also a natural flavoring agent.
Vitamins, Minerals, Gingerol
Ginger is a source of calcium, essential oils, amino acids, phosphorus and vitamins B and C , which strengthen the body’s immune system. Gingerol (another nutrient) is helpful in fighting ovarian and rectal cancers. Ginger is also an excellent expectorant for bronchitis, asthma , flu, and other respiratory ailments.
So if you are looking to replace your pills with natural remedies, then a combination of ginger and olive oil is a great option! The diuretic properties of this medicine will allow you to remove excess fluid from the body (including from the joints, and this, as you know, reduces inflammation ).
Ginger and Olive Oil – Perfect Combination for Stomach and Intestines
Ginger helps in treating indigestion, flatulence, stomach cramps, and indigestion. In combination with olive oil, it can be taken for poisoning, infectious and even bacterial intestinal diseases. It also improves appetite.
Ginger and Olive Oil Medicine
- 1 cup fresh ginger root (150 g)
- 1 cup of olive oil (250 ml)
- Wash the ginger root thoroughly and leave to dry for 2 hours.
- Pour olive oil into a baking dish (or ovenproof dish).
- Rub the ginger root (without peeling)
- Add the grated ginger to the olive oil and stir.
- Place the resulting mixture in an oven preheated to 150 ° C. Leave to simmer for 2 hours.
- After the specified time has elapsed, remove the container from the oven and let cool.
- Then strain so that there are no pieces of ginger left in it.

It is very important not to exceed the dosage. The amount of this pain reliever you need depends on the ailment you intend to treat. When symptoms of certain diseases appear, such ginger oil will greatly help you out. Its smell also repels mosquitoes and other insects (which can also transmit diseases)!
Arthritis And Muscle Pain
You can take 2-3 drops of this home remedy as a tonic for body and spirit. If you want to relieve muscle pain or arthritis symptoms , then you will need the same amount. You can use it for external use – massage, and also take 3 drops orally.
From Flatulence To Bronchitis
When it comes to diarrhea or flatulence, a 1-drop ginger oil massage is a great solution. If you have sinusitis or sore throat, try inhalation with 3 drops of this remedy. It makes it easier to remove mucus from the lungs, which means it helps to cure bronchitis, asthma and the flu.
As for aesthetics, you can safely use ginger oil (the same 3 drops) to fight wrinkles and stretch marks on the skin. The regenerative properties of ginger will contribute to the natural regeneration of the skin.
Hypertension And High Blood Cholesterol
Regular consumption of this home medicine will minimize the risk of developing hypertension. Also, ginger and olive oil are useful for high levels of “bad” cholesterol in the blood . The risk of blood clots is significantly reduced (and with it the risk of atherosclerosis). So here is the perfect remedy for the treatment of cardiovascular disease! And the habit of consuming 2 to 4 drops of ginger oil daily will help prevent the development of chronic diseases.
As you can see, the health benefits of ginger are very diverse. With its help, you can alleviate your condition with various diseases. The antioxidants, vitamins and minerals found in this root make it the best ally in the fight for good health.
Try preparing this ginger oil ahead of time so you always have it on hand. | health |

What is Rhodiola?
Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb-a non-toxic plant that is thought to help support the bodies stress receptors. Adaptogens are thought to provide balance - for example, if the stress hormone cortisol is increased in the body, it could be decreased with the help of Rhodiola. If the body is tired and you are suffering with fatigue, the adaptogenic nature of this herb could increase energy levels. Rhodiola also stimulates the production of dopamine and serotonin, the ‘happy hormones’.

However, caring for a betta fish requires more than just feeding them and changing their water. In this comprehensive guide, we will cover everything you need to know about how to properly care for a betta fish to ensure they live a long and healthy life.
1. Setting Up the Perfect Habitat for Your Betta Fish
Tank Size and Water Parameters
When it comes to setting up a habitat for your betta fish, the first thing to consider is the tank size. While bettas are often kept in small bowls, it is recommended to provide them with at least a 1-gallon tank to allow for proper swimming space. In terms of water parameters, bettas thrive in temperatures ranging from 72-82°F and a pH level between 6.0-8.0. It is essential to invest in a good quality water heater and thermometer to maintain these optimal conditions for your betta fish.
In addition to the tank size and water parameters, the setup of the tank is crucial for the well-being of your betta fish. Bettas are labyrinth fish, which means they breathe air from the surface, so it is important to leave some space between the water level and the top of the tank. Decorate the tank with live or silk plants to provide hiding spots and create a stimulating environment for your betta fish. Adding a gentle filter and a heater will help maintain water quality and temperature, ensuring a comfortable habitat for your betta.
- Choose a tank size of at least 1 gallon.
- Maintain water temperature between 72-82°F.
- Keep pH levels within the range of 6.0-8.0.
2. Feeding Your Betta Fish a Balanced Diet
Types of Food
Proper nutrition is essential for the health of your betta fish. Betta fish are carnivorous and require a high-protein diet to thrive. You can feed your betta fish a variety of foods, including pellets, flakes, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. It is important to provide a balanced diet to prevent nutritional deficiencies and keep your betta fish healthy.
When it comes to feeding your betta fish, moderation is key. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and other health issues, while underfeeding can result in malnutrition. A general rule of thumb is to feed your betta fish 2-3 pellets twice a day, adjusting the amount based on their appetite and activity level. It is also recommended to incorporate fasting days into their feeding schedule to aid digestion and prevent bloating.
- Offer a variety of foods such as pellets, flakes, and live foods.
- Feed your betta fish 2-3 pellets twice a day.
- Incorporate fasting days into their feeding schedule.
3. Maintaining Water Quality in Your Betta Fish Tank
Regular Water Changes
Clean water is vital for the health of your betta fish. Regular water changes help remove toxins and waste products that can build up in the tank over time. It is recommended to perform a 25% water change every week to keep the water clean and maintain optimal water parameters for your betta fish.
In addition to regular water changes, testing the water parameters is essential to ensure a healthy environment for your betta fish. Invest in a water testing kit to monitor the levels of ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH in the tank. Keeping these parameters in check will prevent water quality issues and promote the well-being of your betta fish.
- Perform a 25% water change every week.
- Invest in a water testing kit to monitor water parameters.
- Keep ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH levels in check.
4. Providing Enrichment and Exercise for Your Betta Fish
Betta fish are intelligent and curious creatures that benefit from mental stimulation and enrichment. Add decorations such as caves, tunnels, and floating plants to the tank to create hiding spots and explore. You can also introduce tank mates like snails or shrimp to provide social interaction for your betta fish, but be cautious as bettas can be territorial and aggressive towards other fish.
While bettas do not require as much space to swim as other fish, they still need opportunities for exercise to stay healthy and active. Use a laser pointer or a mirror to encourage your betta fish to swim around the tank and chase after the light. Providing a variety of decorations and changing the tank layout periodically can also stimulate your betta fish and prevent boredom.
- Add decorations and tank mates for enrichment.
- Use a laser pointer or mirror for exercise.
- Change the tank layout periodically to prevent boredom.
5. Recognizing and Treating Common Betta Fish Health Issues
Common Health Problems
Like any pet, betta fish are susceptible to various health issues. Some common problems that betta fish may experience include fin rot, ich (white spot disease), velvet disease, and swim bladder disorder. It is essential to monitor your betta fish closely for any signs of illness, such as changes in behavior, appetite, or appearance, and seek veterinary care if necessary.
If you suspect that your betta fish is unwell, it is crucial to act quickly to prevent the condition from worsening. Depending on the health issue, treatment options may include medicated food, aquarium salt baths, or commercial medications. Quarantine the sick fish in a separate tank to prevent the spread of disease and monitor their progress closely during treatment.
- Monitor your betta fish for signs of illness.
- Seek veterinary care if necessary.
- Treat health issues promptly with appropriate medications.
6. Breeding Betta Fish Responsibly
Breeding betta fish can be a rewarding experience, but it requires careful planning and preparation. To breed bettas successfully, you will need a separate breeding tank with a divider to separate the male and female bettas until they are ready to spawn. Provide plenty of hiding spots and plants in the breeding tank to create a conducive environment for the breeding pair.
When the male and female bettas are ready to spawn, introduce them to the breeding tank and monitor their behavior closely. The male betta will build a bubble nest at the surface of the water, and the female will lay eggs for fertilization. Once the eggs are fertilized, remove the female betta from the tank to prevent aggression from the male betta towards her and the fry.
- Set up a separate breeding tank with a divider.
- Provide hiding spots and plants for the breeding pair.
- Remove the female betta after spawning to prevent aggression.
Caring for a betta fish requires dedication, knowledge, and attention to detail. By providing your betta fish with a suitable habitat, a balanced diet, clean water, enrichment, and proper healthcare, you can ensure that they live a happy and healthy life. Remember to monitor your betta fish regularly for any signs of illness and seek veterinary care when needed. With the right care and commitment, your betta fish will thrive and bring you joy for years to come. | health |

Take the time to educate yourself on what really works before you jump into a new weight loss program.
Drink green tea to lose some weight. Green tea is known to boost the metabolism and increase energy. Drinking this green tea during the minutes prior to your workout in the morning is always a good idea.
Start every supper with a salad. Salad has a ton of fiber which makes you feel full. To keep the calories low, stay away from cheese or dressings for salad.
One smart idea for weight loss is joining a company like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. Organizations like these offer not only support, but a myriad of resources to help in your battle. Make sure you can afford to sign up for one of these programs: you can get the same results if you do some research on your own and cook your own meals.
Try to celebrate each milestone in weight loss, no matter the size. Have a massage, take an extra yoga class or enjoy a healthy treat. This will keep you motivated and on the right track.
Focus on staying healthy and not on losing weight. This will keep you bright and energetic during the program. If you solely focus on weight loss, then you get easily discouraged about the prospect of giving up the treats you love most. Many diets fail because you feel like you have to give up eating what you like. Make sure that you incorporate your diet plan gradually.
A proven tip to losing weight is to avoid eating processed foods. Not buying processed foods can help you become more aware of the foods that you are buying and the ingredients that are in them. Look out for high fructose corn syrup, sodium, trans fat and other unhealthy ingredients.
Buy a monitor for your heart rate. The effectiveness of the cardio you do depends on your heart rate. With a monitor, you will know you are working out effectively.
You can be more aware of what you eat by having someone else eat with you. A lot of times, eating alone causes you to focus only on the eating and may cause you to clean your plate.
Throw out clothes that are too big once you start shedding pounds. This helps you see how much you’ve lost, and will build up your self-confidence in order to continue. It provides more motivation to maintain your current size, or shed even more inches off your waist.
Try not using food as a source of entertainment. Certain people greatly enjoy cooking, and as a result, they also enjoy eating. There is nothing wrong with this. Food can be quite enjoyable. You should ensure you have other things you enjoy more than food. You should consider a new and active hobby.
Start eating whole wheat pasta. When losing weight, you probably want to reduce carbs, which is abundant in pasta. Alternatively, switch to whole wheat pasta. Whole wheat noodles prove healthier than regular pasta. They also fill you up.
You tend to eat less by using smaller plate. Research has shown we tend to eat whatever is on our plate no matter the size of the portion. Using a smaller plate may help with portion control. The fact that the plate is full will make you feel less deprived.
If you stay on the sunny side of life you will lose weight. You’re in control of your weight; remember this when you feel like slacking off. | health |

There are ways to reduce the harm it can cause and learn to enjoy gambling again in a safe environment.
It’s easy to get caught up in a cycle of gambling, so if you are worried about your own or a loved one’s behaviour, talk to someone who can help. They may be able to give you advice or support, and they can tell you where to go for help.
If you are new to gambling, start with small amounts of money that you can afford to lose. This will help you to decide how much you want to gamble and set boundaries for yourself.
Set limits in advance and stop when you reach them. This is better than letting your gambling take over and then having to give up.
Don’t lie about the amount you spend or hide evidence of your gambling – if you do this, it will make it harder to change your habits.
Know why you are gambling – understanding your motivations can help you to avoid harmful behaviours and find healthier alternatives.
The most common reasons people gamble are for mood change and the fantasy of winning a big prize, but it can also be a way to relieve unpleasant emotions. If you are having problems with your mental health, talk to a specialist GP or a counsellor about how gambling may be impacting on your wellbeing.
Having fun and socialising with friends can be good for your mental health. But if gambling becomes too much, it can interfere with your relationship and lead to depression or other mental health issues.
Gambling can be a problem for anyone, regardless of their age. Young people can be more vulnerable to it because they are less aware of the risks and don’t understand the potential harms.
If you are having trouble controlling your gambling, speak to a counsellor or a therapist who can support you. They can work with you to find a treatment or support plan that is right for you.
Be honest with yourself about how much you are spending on gambling – don’t make it up, or tell anyone else that you are saving the money for a holiday! This will weaken your resolve to control your behaviour and could lead to bigger losses in the future.
Keep track of your spending – set a budget and stick to it. This will ensure that you don’t overspend, and that your bank account doesn’t fall into debt.
Keeping control of your finances is important for your mental and physical health. Getting rid of your credit cards, having your bank make automatic payments for you, closing online betting accounts, and having a fixed amount of cash on you will help to keep you in control.
Seek help if you are having trouble controlling your gambling and it is causing serious harm to yourself or your family. They will be able to support you and provide advice, including contacting the authorities if necessary. | health |

As you may know, head lice cases have been on the rise nationally. An estimated 6 to 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States, most commonly among children ages 3 to 11.1 I am writing to you to help you learn how to identify lice and provide information on what you can do if lice hit your home.
What are head lice?
Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live close to the human scalp. They feed on blood. The eggs, also called nits, are tiny, tear-drop shaped eggs that attach to the hair shaft. Nits often appear yellowish or white and can look like dandruff but cannot be removed or brushed off. The nymph, or baby louse, is smaller and grow to adult size in one to two weeks. The adult louse is the size of a sesame seed appears tan to grayish-white. An itchy and inflamed scalp is a common symptom of lice. Although not common, persistent scratching may lead to skin irritation and even infection.1
Who is affected by head lice?
Head lice are not related to cleanliness.2,3 In fact, head lice often infest people with good hygiene and grooming habits.3 Infestations can occur at home, school or in the community. Head lice are mostly spread by direct head-to-head contact—for example, during play at home or school, slumber parties, sports activities or camp. Less often, lice are spread via objects that have been in recent contact with a person with head lice, such as hats, scarves, hair ribbons, combs, brushes, stuffed animals or bedding.1,2
What to do if an infestation occurs?
If you think your child has head lice, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment approach for your family. Resistance to some over-the-counter head lice treatments has been reported, but the prevalence of resistance is not known.4,5 There are new prescription treatment options available that are safe.
As your school nurse, I want to provide you with the information you need to safeguard your children’s health and pave the way for a healthy school year. I hope you find this information useful.
Additionlly, I am including the link to the 2010 clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics which provides additional information and guidance for parents and for schools related to screenings and management of head lice:

This medication is widely applied to treat, prevent and control various bacterial diseases. It is used in single medication treatments and in complex approach for coping with bacterial infections or diseases complicated with bacterial inflammations. It is one of the cheapest and safest medications for bacterial infections which should be in every home medicine box. Ampicillin covers typical infections respiratory and urinary tract. It is safe and can be administered to neonates (children less than 28 days old). Ampicillin is available in every offline drug store. However to save costs and efforts you can buy Ampicillin online over the counter. The medication is also available online in countries with strict drug control policy as USA, Canada, UK, Australia. Though Ampicillin is a safe medication, you are recommended to visit a doctor and to do necessary clinical tests to find out the type of bacteria, their quantity in the body and to choose an optimum treatment course with proper dosages of the medication.
What is Ampicillin?
Ampicillin is a powerful antibiotic covering a wide range of susceptible bacteria. Being non-toxic, Ampicillin is allowed for children and neonates. It comes in various forms to the market. You can buy Ampicillin online in pills and injections. The pills are available in different dosages of 250mg and 500mg. If you buy Ampicillin prior to seeing your doctor, then it is recommended to buy in the lowest dosage possible. Thus you will be able to get an exact dosage for intake if you are prescribed a larger dosage treatment.
Ampicillin was developed in 1961 and since that time the pharmaceutical industry has not managed to develop another featuring such an efficiency and providing zero risks ad side effects to a patient during treatment. It is on the list of the essentials of WHO.
The drug is effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The range of susceptible micro-organisms are as follows:
- enterococci and some others.
Ampicillin is a fast acting remedy. It interferes the process of cell wall creation of bacteria when they actively grow and develop by thus preventing them from replication and multiplying. In this case bacteria are unable to spread further over the body contaminating other organs and worsening the disease.
Directions for the use of Ampicillin
Ampicillin is a widely applied drug for bacterial infections treatment and prophylaxis. In most cases it requires prescription based on clinical tests which reveal the infection, bacteria and their quantity. Ampicillin should be taken for a certain period of time getting control over a population of bacteria.
The drug should be taken only to cope with diseases caused with susceptible types of bacteria. This is the list of most common diseases which are well treated with Ampicillin:
- endocarditis and other infections of heart tissues
- respiratory infections as pharyngitis, sinusitis
- infections and inflammations of kidneys
- infection fevers
- ear infections
Ampicillin should not be chosen for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases as these are commonly of viral nature. Ampicillin is ineffective against viruses.
Ampicillin is taken according prescription. If you buy Ampicillin online over the counter and do not have a prescription from your doctor, please, follow the instruction provided with the pills as improper treatment with antibiotics may cause liver, kidney, digestion dysfunction. In most cases Ampicillin is combined with other medications which will support the body functioning providing healthy levels of vital bacteria in the stomach or vagina. Though Ampicillin is available online and offline over the counter even in USA, UK, Australia and Canada, still we do recommend to see your doctor and to get a proper plan of treatment.
How should I use Ampicillin?
Ampicillin should only be used as it is prescribed or as it is indicated in the instruction for the medication. In most cases the length of treatment is from 7 to 14 days. Ampicillin is safe for your health and body and will not cause severe dysfunctions. However you should know the exact dosage which will be optimum to cope with the infection fast.
Take Ampicillin according your schedule with or without meals with a full glass of water. Note that most of the antibiotics will cause discomfort in your stomach and may provoke nausea and vomiting if taken without meals. Ampicillin is recommended to be combined with drugs or vitamins or BAAs containing lactic bacteria which are of vital importance for stomach and digestion.
Do not take larger dosages of Ampicillin as it is prescribed to you. Increased dosages will not prompt the recovery but will cause overdosing and may result in acute anaphylactic collapse. Such a condition requires immediate emergency help.
What may interact with Ampicillin?
Ampicillin interacts with many medications as is fobidden to be mixed with some vaccines and drugs. For example, neonates should not get a bcg vaccine if treated with Ampicillin as the combination may result either in serious life threatening condition or weakening of the vaccine action. In the latter case the vaccination will fail and will not induce the development of the immunity against the disease.
Ampicillin should not be combined wit other antibiotics of the group as they may decrease the efficiency of each other and thus trigger the efficacy of the treatment.
Check all the medications you are taking constantly or occasionally and report the list to your health care provider. Mind that herbs and medicine teas should also be included. Ampicillin is not recommended to mix with diuretics and dejectory relaxants as they may excrete the drug from the body faster and trigger the efficacy of the treatment.
What should I watch for while taking Ampicillin?
Ampicillin is a potent medication. If you take Ampicillin according a prescription then you will feel ease of symptoms right from the first intake. The first symptoms that seize after Ampicillin are fever, itching, flashing and redness.
Patients who buy Ampicillin online over the counter and take the drug on their own without prescription should carefully track the symptoms and immediately seek for emergency help in case the symptoms get worse. This means that the medication is wrong for the case and the disease progresses.
Ampicillin commonly does not have contraindications except of allergic reactions to the class of antibiotics. However patients with infectious mononucleosis are not recommended to get Ampicillin treatment. Ampicillin should be carefully administered to women planning pregnancy, pregnant or breastfeeding. The risks of Ampicillin for a baby or a fetus should be evaluated only by healthcare provider.
What side effects may I notice from Ampicillin?
Ampicillin performs few side effects in comparison to other antibiotics. Most common side effects are the response of the digestive system to a decreased level of vital bacteria needed for normal digestion. These are vomiting, nausea, increased bowel movements, loose stool and constipations. Up to 1,8% of patients notice skin rashes with the drug. Vaginosis and stomatitis are two most common side effects in women. | health |

Learn how to avoid uncomfortable masks and other common CPAP problems.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. A CPAP machine uses a hose and mask or nosepiece to deliver constant and steady air pressure.
Common problems with CPAP include a leaky mask, trouble falling asleep, stuffy nose and a dry mouth.
The good news is that if one CPAP mask or device doesn't work for you, you have other options. And most CPAP masks are adjustable, to help make them more comfortable for you.
Here are 10 common CPAP problems and what you can do about them:
Work closely with your doctor and CPAP supplier to make sure you have a CPAP mask that fits properly. Everyone has different face shapes, so the right style and size mask for someone else may not work for you.
Try a different mask. A range of CPAP masks are available. For example, some feature full face masks that cover your mouth and nose, with straps that stretch across your forehead and cheeks. These may make some people feel claustrophobic, but they work well if you prefer to breathe through your mouth during sleep. They also provide a stable fit if you move around a lot in your sleep.
Other masks feature nasal pillows that fit under your nose and straps that cover less of your face. These can feel less cumbersome.
Nasal pillows may work well if you wear glasses or read with the mask on, because some don't block your eyes as much as full face masks do. However, this may not be an option if you move around a lot in your sleep or sleep on your side.
Pay attention to size. Most masks come in different sizes. Just because you're a certain size in one mask doesn't mean you'll be the same size in another. CPAP masks are usually adjustable.
Ask your doctor or CPAP supplier to show you how to adjust your mask to get the best fit. Manufacturer product instructions also can help show you how to do this. A properly fitting mask shouldn't be uncomfortable or cause pain.
First, try wearing just the CPAP mask for short periods of time while you're awake — for example, while watching TV. Then try wearing the mask and hose with the device turned on during the day while you're awake.
（2）Once you get used to how that feels, start using the CPAP device every time you sleep — including naps. Just wearing the CPAP device every now and then may delay getting used to it. Stick with it for several weeks or more to see if your mask and pressure are right for you.
You may be able to overcome this by using a machine with a "ramp" feature. This setting allows you to start with low air pressure. The machine then automatically and slowly increases the air pressure to your prescribed setting as you fall asleep. Your doctor can adjust its rate.
If this feature doesn't help, talk with your doctor about changing to a device that automatically and constantly adjusts the pressure while you're sleeping. An example is a bi-level positive airway pressure (BPAP) machine that delivers more pressure when you breathe in (inhale) and less when you breathe out (exhale).
Check to make sure your mask fits well. A leaky mask can dry out your nose. If you have to tighten straps often to prevent air leakage, the mask does not fit properly.
A CPAP device that features a heated humidifier, which attaches to the air pressure machine, can help. You can adjust the level of humidification. Using a nasal saline spray at bedtime also can help ease a dry, stuffy nose.
Practice using your mask while you're awake. First, just hold it up to your face without any of the other parts. Once you're comfortable with that, try wearing the mask with the straps.
Next, try holding the mask with the attached hose on your face, without using the straps. Turn on the CPAP machine, perhaps with the ramp feature turned on. Next, do this using the straps too. Finally, try sleeping with the mask and machine on.
Relaxation exercises, such as progressive muscle relaxation, may help reduce anxiety related to CPAP use.
If you're still feeling claustrophobic, talk to your doctor or CPAP supplier. It may help to get a different size mask or try a different style, such as one that uses nasal pillows.
A leaky or an ill-fitting mask means you're not getting the full air pressure you need, and you may be irritating your skin. The mask can also blow air into your eyes, causing them to become dry or teary.
Try adjusting pads and straps to get a better fit. If the device fits over your nose, make sure it doesn't sit too high on the bridge of your nose, which can direct air into your eyes.
You may need to ask your supplier to help you find a different size mask, particularly if your weight has changed a lot. Or try a different style device such as a nasal pillow. If you develop skin deterioration or sores, such as on your nose, tell your doctor promptly.
Wearing the mask alone for some time during the day may help you get used to how it feels and make it easier to fall asleep at night.
Machines with the ramp feature that slowly and gradually increase the air pressure to your prescribed pressure setting as you fall asleep may make you more comfortable at bedtime.
Following good general sleep habits also are helpful. Exercise regularly and avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime. Try to relax. For example, take a warm bath before you go to bed. Don't go to bed until you're tired.
If you breathe through your mouth at night or sleep with your mouth open, some CPAP devices may worsen dry mouth. A chin strap may help keep your mouth closed and reduce the air leak if you wear a nasal mask.
A full-face-mask-style device that covers your mouth and nose also may work well for you. A CPAP-heated humidifier that attaches to the air pressure machine also may help.
It's normal to sometimes wake up to find you've removed the mask in your sleep. If you move a lot in your sleep, you may find that a full face mask will stay on your face better.
You may be pulling off the mask because your nose is congested. If so, ensuring a good mask fit and adding a CPAP-heated humidifier may help. A chin strap also may help keep the device on your face.
If this is a consistent problem, consider setting an alarm for sometime in the night, to check whether the device is still on. You could progressively set the alarm for later in the night if you find you're keeping the device on longer.
Most new models of CPAP devices are almost silent. But if you find a device's noise is bothersome, first check to make sure the device air filter is clean and unblocked. Something in its way may worsen noise. Ask your doctor or CPAP supplier how to properly clean your mask and hose.
If this doesn't help, have your doctor or CPAP supplier check the device to ensure it's working properly. If the device is working correctly and the noise still bothers you, try wearing earplugs or using a white noise sound machine to mask the noise. Placing the machine as far away from the bed as possible also may help make any machine noise less noticeable. Ask your doctor or CPAP supplier if extra tubing is available and right for your machine.
Using a CPAP device can be frustrating as you try to get used to it, but it's important you stick with it. The treatment is essential to avoiding complications of obstructive sleep apnea, such as heart problems and excessive daytime sleepiness.
Work with your doctor and CPAP supplier to ensure the best fit and device for you. Regular visits to your sleep doctor are important and can help troubleshoot any problems and adjust settings, if needed. It can take a while to find the correct settings and get used to the mask.
With time and patience, CPAP can positively affect your quality of life and health.

During that time I’ve experienced practicing in a variety of medical practices ranging from a busy HMO based office, PPO/private insurance practice and now a concierge practice. I can truly appreciate the relationships I’ve been able to develop with my patients, as well as being able to provide a much higher level of service to them since the change to a concierge practice.
Since the transition to my concierge practice, I’ve been able to intervene and diagnose cases of cancers through one of the tests in the concierge physical. I have also been able to detect a serious cardiac condition. I’m certain that these conditions were all detected much earlier and managed much more efficiently than in a normal traditional practice. The ability to spend more time with each patient in a relaxed, non-hurried manner has been extremely fulfilling to me, and my patients have definitely benefited from the change.
My patients have truly been happy with the personalized care and feel that their health and wellness have been thoroughly analyzed. I have been able to be there for many patients when they had to make tough personal and family decisions. It’s extremely rewarding to know that I have made a positive impact on their lives. | health |

At times, dental pieces, especially those with cavities, those undergoing treatment with provisional materials, or even those that have already been filled, may contain some air inside them; the pressure and volume changes experienced by this air during a dive could compress the sensitive nerve root of the tooth, which, combined with other factors such as temperature decrease or possible embolism in the dental pulp, would be the cause of barodontalgia. This situation occurs more frequently in the anterior teeth than in the posterior ones and in the upper teeth than in the lower ones.
Additionally, during the decompression that occurs during ascent, the increase in air volume that may have become trapped inside the dental piece during the dive could lead to its rupture, especially if it is not in perfect condition. This is known as odontocrexis. | health |

SARMs are a much safer alternative to steroids and prohormones. SARMs can help women build their muscles and burn fat with minimal side effects. Many women find SARMs to be as effective as prohormones and steroids. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about SARMs for women.
How Do SARMs Work?
SARMs target androgen receptors in a person’s bone and muscle cells. This is why they are used to assist in bone and muscle growth with little effect on other body cells. SARMs usually target specific tissues like bone and muscles and are not concerned with the liver, brain, or prostate. This translates to rapid bone and muscle growth with unnecessary growth in other body parts.
SARMs do not disintegrate into molecules that promote side effects such as estrogen and DHT as easily as steroids. Additionally, since SARMs are not as powerful as regular steroids, you should not expect them to significantly suppress your natural testosterone production. Therefore, it is easier to recover from this suppression of testosterone production, and you rarely need to go for post-cycle therapy (PCT).
Which SARMs are Best Suited for Women?
The most recommended SARMs for women include:
When choosing SARMs, one of the important things to bear in mind is that you should use a low dosage. For example, a dosage of 10mg of Ostarine several days a week will result in minimal side effects. However, if you take a dosage of 10mg daily, the results will be better, but you stand a chance of experiencing significant side effects. Ostarine is popular because it is effective and one of the most researched SARM.
On the other hand, Lingandrol is great for building muscle and is a top choice for female competitors. Cardarine is popular among women because it burns fat quickly, corrects metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity, and helps boost energy levels. Cardarine is also helpful for recovering from injuries arising from surgeries or accidents.
What Are the Side Effects of SARMs?
SARMs have minimal side effects if used correctly. Experts recommend that you should start with a low dose and advance from there. Some of the potential side effects among women include:
- Increased sex drive
- A deepening of the voice
How to Control the Side Effects of SARMs
The most important thing to note is that the side effects of SARMs are caused by overdose and long-term use. If you follow the recommended dosage, you can easily avoid most of these side effects.
The Benefits of Using SARMs
Extensive research shows that SARMs help users gain up to 15 pounds of muscle tissue. This is the reason they use SARMs for a duration of 12 weeks. Additionally, SARMs improve muscle growth and burn fat. SARMs are the best choice of supplements for women who intended to gain muscle mass and burn fat. While steroids are more effective than SARMs when it comes to gaining muscle or burning fat, they come with very harsh side effects. SARMs are much gentler and have fewer if no side effects. One rule of thumb is to follow the doctor’s prescriptions and not to use them for an extended period. | health |

The situation becomes more difficult when the person who has fallen ill can no longer make decisions for themselves.
Fortunately, having an Advance Health Care Directive ensures that you have a say in your medical care in these situations. Understanding the necessary steps and procedures to secure and establish any type of advance directive can be overwhelming. Davis Toft, APC can assist you in navigating this process.
One of the most important rights concerning a person’s life and health is their ability to make their own decisions regarding medical treatment. If an individual is unable to communicate their wishes for any reason, then the burden falls on their family to make those decisions for them. This process is often challenging and emotionally charged, especially if there is no known plan and family members disagree on potential treatments or medical options.
An advance directive allows someone to clearly define the medical care they would like to receive in the event of an incapacitating illness or injury. It is a formal, written statement detailing an individual’s wishes for medical treatment in the event that they are unable to directly communicate with medical professionals. Advance directives guarantee that you receive the care you want, and they also help reduce undue stress from your loved ones.
There are four main types of advance directives. Each one pertains to a certain aspect of medical care, and they each have a specific purpose.
In many cases, additional documents are included with these advance directives. A Physician’s Order for Life-Saving Treatment (POLST) allows an individual to make decisions with the approval of their medical provider for future care. Similarly, a Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Order allows an individual to choose under which specific conditions they want medical providers to attempt to resuscitate them. These are not required as part of an advance directive. However, many people choose to include them for peace of mind, especially if they are facing terminal illness.
The most common types of advance directives that are utilized are the Living Will, the Medical Power of Attorney, and the Advance Healthcare Directive. Psychiatric Advance Directives have been used with growing frequency in recent years, but they are still not as commonly used as the others.
The state of California recognizes Medical Power of Attorney, the Living Will, and the Advance Healthcare Directive. The documentation forms for each Advance Directive are comprised of three main parts, including:
Once your Advance Health Care Directive has been completed and signed by the necessary witnesses, you are responsible for sharing it with any necessary parties. This may include family, friends, or medical providers. An Advance Medical Directive can also be changed at any time in California by completing a new form that is witnessed and signed.
To finalize your advance directive with a notary, the form must include your signature and the date, but it does not require signatures from two witnesses. However, the state of California does not require that an Advance Health Care Directive be notarized. If you are not notarizing your Advance Health Care Directive, it can be finalized with your signature and the signatures of two witnesses. The form will provide detailed instructions and requirements for the witness signatures.
The process of developing an Advance Health Care Directive can seem overwhelming. It may also seem time-consuming and confusing to fully understand what needs to be included. Detailing how you want your medical care to be handled in the event that you are incapable of your own decision-making is a major task. Working with an experienced Laguna Beach estate planning attorney can help make the process easier. It can also provide you and your family with peace of mind.

Others may have tried counselling in conventional environments but found it uncomfortable or wished for a less intensive approach. If this resonates with you then Walk and Talk sessions may be a helpful alternative.
Traditionally therapy sessions take place within the four walls of a physical room. During a Walk and Talk session the natural environment becomes the therapy room.
The natural environment can provide a space to allow you to think more freely, to engage your senses and to explore your feelings. Many people find that the tranquility of the countryside can induce a meditative/reflective mood which supports emotional awareness. Exercise can also help people become "unstuck" when confronting difficult issues and it can spur creative, deeper ways of thinking.
I offer a choice of easy, moderate or more strenuous walks. The easy and moderate walks are on flat or undulating terrain. All walks offer a mix of public footpaths, bridleways, open countryside and quiet country lanes as well as walks suitable for times when the weather conditions are less favourable. You will not need to be 'super fit' or even very outdoors orientated to benefit from this setting for your counselling.
Sessions will run in most weather conditions but if too severe the session will take place indoors in Whaley Bridge, SK23.
Our initial consultation together will take place in a counselling room so we can discuss the differences of working outdoors, considering together things like where we meet, how we manage the time, the weather and the pace etc.
Walk and Talk sessions take place in High Peak and Cheshire.
