http://dragcave.wikia.com/wiki/Making_Dragons_Grow | in : Introduction Making Dragons Grow English Edit Share Dragon growth is based on several different factors : Views , Unique Views , Clicks and Time . Contents show Views Edit Views denote the overall number of views your egg or dragon has received . This can be misleading as the amount of views you can receive is restricted by the amount of unique views you have . For every unique view your dragon accumulates , it can receive a maximum 15 views . So , if an egg has 10 unique views it ca n ' t have more than 150 views . Views , some may argue , are a key decider on when a dragon will hatch or grow up , although no formula has ever been released Viewing your own scroll wo n ' t increase your egg ' s view count , but viewing the scrolls of others will increase their eggs ' and dragons ' view count . Going onto a dragon ' s view page will give one view , but refreshing the page wo n ' t give more views . Refreshing the scroll page however , will keep increasing the view count until it reaches its ratio limit . If the ratio of view : unique view approaches or hits the 15 : 1 limit , then the egg can undergo Dragon Sickness Tinsel Dragons Shimmer - scale Dragons and Avatars generally take longer to hatch , and get sick more easily . Prize dragons generally take about 5000 - 12000 views to hatch and grow up . An egg will get sick if it gets too many views in a short space of time - try to keep it a moderate amount . Unique Views Unique views are accumulated every time an individual views your eggs . However , unlike views , you can only gain 1 unique view per IP Address . Unique views are important since they decide how high your views count can go . As previous mentioned , normal views can be no more than 15 times the number of unique views . One unique view can be gained for each IP address viewing the dragon . Unless you have an IP address that changes or you move about and change your IP address , you can only give one unique Around roughly 400 unique views , a dragon will hatch , although for the rarer dragons , the amount needed may be drastically larger . Roughly 1,000 unique views are needed for maturing . It is possible for a dragon to hatch and grow with a lot less then this ( for example an adult dragon only having around 600 - 700 unique views ) . However it is n ' t recommended as they have a higher chance of dying . Usually , your egg starts cracking at around 130 - 400 unique views , and continues to crack with more views . Clicks Clicks , like unique views , can only be given out once per person . A click happens when someone accesses a dragon ' s statistics or " View " page . Clicks are not essential to a dragon ' s growth , as a dragon can grow without any clicks at all , but the presence of numerous clicks speeds up the growth process . Like unique views , only one click can be given to a growing dragon per IP address . The more clicks a dragon has , the less views and unique views it needs to hatch or mature . Gaining views / unique views / clicks There are many ways to get views , unique views and clicks for your eggs and hatchlings . Many people use a " Click Site " to get the necessary views . Another way is to put them in a forum signature using the BBCodes shown in the " Show HTML / BBCode Links " link on the egg or hatchling ' s view page ( since August 17 th , 2015 , the " Direct Link " option has been removed from this page ) . Both ways are equally fine , though using click sites has become the more popular way to go . Time Even though your egg may have plenty of views and has a big hole in it , or your hatchling has plenty of views and has matured , hatching and maturing are still dependent on time . Until your dragon reaches its " magic time " , nowadays known as " ER or Emergency Room Time " , it can not move on to the next stage . This magic time has shifted in the past , originally being 3.5 days , then shifting between 3 and 4 days , and becoming individual for every dragon . Currently , the If your dragon has reached its " time " but has not yet reached a high enough views / unique views / clicks count , it will not hatch or mature until it reaches this count . If the dragon does not meet the required number of views by the time it reaches 0 days , it will die . This is why eggs and hatchlings with fewer than 3 or 4 days ( depending on personal opinion ) remaining are considered Emergency dragons , with click sites setting up " Emergency Room " sections where those ready to hatch can receive the maximum amount of views and clicks in the shortest amount of time as they are ready to grow . There are dragons whose hatching time is linked to a specific bracket of Cave Time , and these dragons will not hatch until this bracket of time has been reached .

It allows players to migrate certain collection items across all playthroughs . ( Note : Patch 10 was only released for XBox One , PS4 and PC ; the Golden Nug is not available in XBox 360 and PS3 versions of the game ) Contents show Location Edit Once you have completed the main storyline in at least one playthrough , the nug statue will become available in all future playthroughs . You have to interact with the statue one time with a post - game character in order for it to become available in subsequent playthroughs . The statue can be found in the following locations : Haven , next to the stables outside the main gate Skyhold - Undercroft , next to the Special Supplies chest Winter Palace ( second visit only ) , next to the crafting tables Note : Requires Trespasser DLC The Darvaarad , on the top floor of the Research Tower Note : Requires Trespasser DLC Uses The Golden Nug in Heroes of Dragon Age Interacting with the statue will synchronize your collectables across all current and future playthroughs . Items from the following collections can be updated : Schematics , including weapons armor , and rune schematics ( Tier 1 schematics excluded ) Nursery Seeds Mounts Skyhold upgrades ( clarification needed ) Skyhold customizations ( excluding Decor Potion recipes Exceptions The following items can not be transferred via the statue : Any Tier 1 Schematics Any schematics received via the Special Shipments ( i.e .

For items that are linked to specific war table operations , such as Jar of Bees Grenade Recipe , the operations will still become available in subsequent playthroughs , and the rewards will still be listed in the operation results , regardless of whether you import the items via the Golden Nug . Other rewards from the same operations ( e.g. , Sera approval from Red Jenny : Inquisition Needs Beeees ! ) are unaffected and will still be rewarded on each playthrough . Bugs Recipes obtained in the usual way after synchronizing are often listed twice in inventory . The Golden Nug statue may randomly disappear from the Skyhold Undercroft for reasons unknown . Although multiple attempts may be required , travelling to another region and returning should eventually fix this .

overall in the original dubbed and the uncut Dragon Ball Z series The episode first aired on September 6 1995 Its original American air date was March 17 2003 Contents show Summary Bibidi and Buu before attacking the planet of the Kais The newly transformed Kid Buu stands on the edge of a cliff glaring out at the world Mr Satan says he looks like a child he contemplates attacking but Dende advises him not to The Dragon Team are not sure whether Super Buu is stronger or weaker from the transformation The unconscious fighters have not come to yet and Goku and Vegeta wonder why Meanwhile on the Sacred World of the Kai Old Kai regards Buus new form with some confusion and wonders if this is the true form of Majin Buu Kibito Kai says that it is and reveals Buus history to his predecessor Vegeta stands over Trunks after rescuing him and the others with Goku from Super Buu Five million years ago the universe was at a time of peace watched over by the Grand Supreme Kai and his four subordinates the Supreme Kais of the West North South and East However the peace was shattered by Majin Buu created by the evil wizard Bibidi as a weapon of ultimate destruction Despite barely being able to even control his monster Bibidi sent Buu to destroy numerous worlds before eventually bringing him into battle against the Supreme Kais The West Supreme Kai and North Supreme Kai were no match for Majin Buu who destroyed them with ease The South Supreme Kai put up a better fight actually managing to rip off one of Buus arms but the evil creature regenerated the limb and defeated him The South Supreme Kai would become the first victim of Buus Absorption technique which resulted in the huge strong form shown during the final transformation on Earth More powerful than ever Buu set his sights on the East Supreme Kai who stood no chance against Bibidis monster Before Buu could finish the job the Grand Supreme Kai intervened blasting Buu to smithereens Of course Buu regenerated and promptly absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai but the absorption transformed Buu into a fat jovial form Soon after Bibidi sealed Buu away and the East Supreme Kai destroyed the sorcerer seemingly ending the threat of Buu for good Until recently Kid Buu prepares his Planet Burst Old Kai realizes that the Grand Supreme Kai was able to counter Buus malevolence with his kind soul reducing the monsters power and creating the innocent childish personality seen in his initial state Kibito Kai confirms this and explains that with all of the foreign influences removed from his body Buu has returned to his original state relentless insane and pure evil Peering into the crystal ball Old Kai tells Kibito Kai to go to Earth with the power of his earrings Goku and Vegeta are in serious trouble Kid Buu throws his Planet Burst On Earth Kid Buu powers up with a mighty screech causing mass destruction with his voice alone He unleashes a Vanishing Beam towards the Earth but Vegeta deflects it with his Final Burst Cannon and berates Buu for not even trying to fight them first Goku realizes that Kid Buu intends to destroy the planet relying on his regenerative ability to survive the blast Vegeta then demands that whether he tries to destroy the planet first or not he should at least try to fight them first while denouncing him as a coward Kid Buu then looks at them and mouths something at Vegeta causing him to call Kid Buu a gifted speaker with some irony Kid Buu then confirms Gokus earlier claim by charging up another attack strong enough to destroy the planet ten times over Realizing that they cant stop the blast Goku after a failed attempt at trying to reason with Buu tells Vegeta to grab their sons and Piccolo Goku will use Instant Transmission to get them all to safety As they fly Goku picks up Mr Satan and Dende but Kid Buus attack is already bearing down on them Out of time Goku tries to do Instant Transmission but finds that he can not concentrate Suddenly Kibito Kai appears grabs Gokus hand grabs Vegeta by the back of his sleeveless jumpsuit and teleports the group away to the Sacred World of the Kais Meanwhile the Earth explodes taking Piccolo and the boys with it On the Sacred World of the Kais Old Kai becomes glad that everybody is allright but Vegeta is angry that Goku saved Dende and Mr Satan and not their sons as he angrily berates him for failing to save their sons and Piccolo Meanwhile Kid Buu begins to reform amongst the rubble of the Earth Major events Shin tells his story of how Kid Buu killed the other Supreme Kai and absorbed the Grand Supreme Kai The Earth is blown up by Kid Buu Goten Trunks Piccolo Gohan Tien Chiaotzu and any Earthlings who may have survived the Human Extinction Attack die Kibito

Contents show Summary Goku , Piccolo , and Gohan waiting for the Androids Three years have passed since the visit by the mysterious Future Trunks Goku Piccolo and Gohan leave to go and face their destiny against enemies they have only heard about , but not seen . They are as prepared as they could be , though Piccolo wishes they had more time to become stronger . Yamcha and Bulma waiting for the androids On the way to Amenbo Island , they find Krillin flying ahead of them , and he joins them on their way to the androids . The Dragon Team stop at a bluff overlooking Sasebo , the island city , and meet up with Tien Shinhan and Yamcha . The only warriors for Earth that seem to be missing are Vegeta Chiaotzu . Tien then informs them that he left Chiaotzu at Master Roshi ' s for fear that he would not make it away alive in the upcoming skirmish , which makes better sense . The Z Fighters are surprised to see Bulma there , and top of that , she has a baby . Goku tells her to leave for her own safety , but she says she will once she sees the androids . Krillin asks about the baby and Gohan asks Yamcha if the baby is his son . Yamcha says no , and adds that that they will be shocked to learn who the baby ' s real father is . An excited Goku muses that Vegeta is the father and that the baby ' s name is Trunks , much to Krillin and Gohan ' s shock . The Androids appear for the first time After killing some time by entertaining little baby Trunks , everyone wonders why the androids have not shown up yet . Gohan summarizes that they can not feel the androids ' ki because they do not have one . Soon after , Yajirobe arrives and gives the Dragon Team a present from Korin : the mystical Senzu Beans , which restore energy and strength . When asked if he would fight alongside them , Yajirobe respectfully declines . Yajirobe then flies away in his hovercar , only to be shot down in the sky by two mysterious figures . While Gohan flies to help Yajirobe , the warriors fly down to the city to find these mysterious assailants , which proves to be more challenging than they first thought , for they have no idea what they look like . Through the town walk Android 19 Android 20 looking for victims . Some townsfolk dare to insult the evil ones , and while two are attacked by Android 19 , a passing motorist berates Android 20 for standing in the middle of the road . Android 20 , who is not too pleased by this , decides to first remove the engine from the vehicle , then lift the motorist through the roof . Android 20 impales Yamcha through the chest after stealing his energy The screaming of a woman alerts Yamcha , who happens to be nearby , and he decides to investigate the disturbance before alerting the others . He does not recognize the Androids until he notices that they are both wearing the Red Ribbon Army insignia on their caps . In his moment of surprise , Android 20 , after confirming that they are indeed the androids he was referring to , gets the drop on him . Android 20 grabs Yamcha by his face , draining his life force out through his mouth just as Yamcha yells out a warning to the Z - Fighters that he had found them . A passing truck driver swerves to avoid the three of them and winds up crashing into a local gas station which causes a rather sizable explosion . As the sizable explosion turns into a city fire , Yamcha finds himself in a life and death struggle . While the city burns , his friends separated and far away , Yamcha screams for help . Eventually , Android 20 drives his other hand through Yamcha ' s chest , gravely The explosion catches the attention of the warriors , who rush towards the chaos , while the other Z Fighters are searching for the androids . Major Events The Androids make their appearance at Amenbo Island . Android 20 pierces Yamcha ' s chest leaving him in critical condition . Battles Android 20 vs . Yamcha Appearances Characters Goku Gohan Krillin Bulma Trunks Yamcha Tien Shinhan Piccolo Yajirobe Dr . Gero Android 19 Dr . Brief Locations Amenbo Island West City Capsule Corporation Objects Senzu Bean Car Yajirobe ' s katana Bruce Faulconer tracks Yamcha Meets Droids " - When Yamcha encounters the Androids . Differences from the manga Dr . Brief bringing a toy that he created for Trunks to his room is exclusive to the anime . The scene where Android 20 kills the man in the car is much more brutal in the manga . In the anime , he simply grabs him by the neck and suffocates him . In the manga however he grabs him by the neck and then squeezes with such force that it rips the man ' s head off . The truck crashing into the Petrol Station which causes a huge fire and alerts the others is exclusive to the anime . Trivia A male and female couple seen walking the streets of the island have T - shirts on that say " BIRD " on them . This is an obvious reference to Bird Studio , Akira Toriyama ' s animation studio . When Dr . Brief walks into Trunks ' room with a new toy , the toy looks like the Time Machine Future Trunks used The pink balloon creature that pops out of Trunks ' toy can be seen in Dr . Slump When Yamcha is scanned by the Androids , none of the text was " cleaned up " for the English language version . For instance , his name is spelled as " Yamucha " and his special technique is listed as " Rouga Whowhoken " ( Wolf Fang Fist ) . The opinion , similarly , is also given in romaji rather than true English . A few changes were made in the remastered dub : Krillin ' s line " We have to find them first " is a different take , Baby Trunks ' voice seems at a different pitch , Goku ' s " Yajirobe " line is replaced with " Hey mister , are you uh . . alright ? " ( which was already heard in " Goku ' s Ordeal " ) . Also , the blonde guy with the moustache and the people who Yamcha talked to are redubbed . The scene where the trucker crashes into a gas station and causes an explosion was reused in Dragon Ball Z : The History of Trunks where Android 17 proceeds to ram his hovercar into a gas station with the same results after Android 18 tells him it ' s time to depart . Each of the Z Fighters have updated outfits beginning with this episode : Goku ' s uniform no longer features a kanji on either the front or back of his outer shirt , his belt has changed to a sash , and his boots now have red stripes with tan laces instead of yellow stripes with red laces ( which becomes Goku ' s regular outfit for the rest of ) ; Gohan now wears black kung fu shoes with white shin guards instead of brown Namekian shoes ( while retaining the rest of his Namekian uniform from the Saiyan Saga and Namek Saga ) ; Krillin is wearing a blue undershirt and boots like Goku ' s ; Yamcha now has King Kai ' s symbol on the front of his tank top ; and Tien is wearing a green sash in place of a shirt ( or no shirt at all ) . Piccolo ' s outfit does n ' t look different at first , but in later episodes he is seen now wearing a V - necked shirt underneath his cape . Though Vegeta does n ' t appear in this episode , he too is later seen wearing an updated Battle Armor ( while retaining his blue long - sleeved jumpsuit , white gloves and boots ) . Gallery Krillin , Goku , Gohan Bulma bringing her infant ( Trunks ) to the confrontation Yamcha dissappointed when telling the others that the child is not his To Bulma ' s surprise , Goku knows that Vegeta ' s the father Baby Trunks laughs when he sees Krillin ' s face Yajirobe gives Goku Senzu Beans Dr .

Vegito is the most powerful character in the original Dragon Ball manga . His Fusion Dance counterpart is Contents show Appearance Vegito on the Prison Planet Vegito is a mixture of both Goku and Vegeta ' s characteristics , with a few deviations . He has the same body type as Goku , while his hair color is dark brown to reddish brown . He has Goku ' s softer jawline and Vegeta ' s sharper eyes .

Despite appearing cocky , he in fact retains Goku ' s benevolence and empathy .

This was shown when he stated he was wondering what would happen if " they " ( Goku and Vegeta ) merged , though he also referred to himself as " us " when talking about " sharing a body " . In the original dub , he maintains Goku ' s respectful nature , referring to Old Kai as Dai Kaiōshin - sama In Dragon Ball Super , when Vegito returns at the end of the " Future " Trunks Saga , his personality is mostly the same except he is far more serious than last time due to his opponent not needing to worry about any loved ones ' safety and now knowing about his fusion ' s time limit . He is still somewhat cocky , tending to mock his opponent for things like sloppy fighting and ignorance of the situation . Biography Dragon Ball Z Fusion Saga Main article : Fusion Saga Goku and Vegeta fuse into Vegito The Potara Earring Fusion used to form Vegito is what Old Kai considers to be the proper way to do fusion , as opposed to the Fusion Dance technique . The resulting fusion lasts forever for Supreme Kais . However , the fusion only lasts one hour for mortals , even if the fused being removes the earrings . The determination of power levels is complex and more unpredictable than that of the Fusion Dance but in Vegito ' s case , the rise in power is inconceivably drastic . Vegito has the confidence and fighting smarts of Goku , along with the superior attitude and genius strategic mind of Vegeta . Vegito before transforming into a Super Saiyan Vegito is a fusion formed out of desperation by Goku and Vegeta in an effort to stop Super Buu , an ancient and powerful being whose only purpose is to destroy . Because Buu had absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo , Goku and Shin had come to a conclusion that the best chance they had of defeating Super Buu was through fusion , but there was no time to attempt the Fusion Technique . As a solution to this problem , the Potara Earrings were given to Goku to save the universe from Super Buu . Goku then proceeds to Earth just in time , before Super Buu launches his Destroy Everything ! energy ball to destroy it . Goku threw the earring to Gohan so they could fuse , but Gohan failed to catch it . Super Buu then lost a large amount of power ( over one third by Goku ' s observation ) as Gotenks separated inside Buu . He then proceeds to absorb Gohan , becoming even deadlier and stronger than when he was ever before . Goku is now left with no one to fuse with that would be of any help ( with the latter being Mr . Satan Dende because Tien Shinhan was knocked out ) , but miraculously he senses Vegeta ' s energy , and uses Instant Transmission to quickly transport himself to Vegeta ' s location since Vegeta has just returned from the Other World with Fortuneteller Baba . Super Buu shortly follows and , after Goku tries to convince him , Vegeta fuses with Goku . In the anime , Vegeta initially ignores Goku ' s plea by losing his pride to fuse with him and they both send ki blasts towards Super Buu . Super Buu easily reflects their attacks with his own ki blast . Super Buu then taunts them and Vegeta attacks Super Buu but both Saiyans were effortlessly beaten . After some quick persuasion , Vegeta finally agrees ( after being told what fate had befallen his family ) . Then , Goku Super Vegito pummels Super Buu ( w / Gohan , Goten , Trunks , Piccolo absorbed ) Once Vegito is formed , he tests out his new body . He then proves himself more than a match for Super Buu as he easily withstands an assault that would have almost killed the others separately . Vegito then overpowers Super Buu ( with Gohan absorbed ) in the ensuing battle , clearly showing that , even in his base form , the fused Saiyan is much more powerful than the mass - absorbed Super Buu . In the anime , after proving his superiority to Super Buu , Vegito then decides to turn things up a notch , Vegito intelligently forces Super Buu out of his body with the use of his ki control Vegito then begins to completely dominate Super Buu , rendering his attacks useless . Super Buu then liquefies himself and goes into Vegito ' s body through his mouth . Once Super Buu is inside , he makes Vegito ' s muscles bulge tremendously and tries to take control of his body . Vegito then uses his energy to isolate Super Buu inside his body and beats him out . Super Buu becomes enraged because Vegito is making fun of him . His anger at this causes him to start breaking through dimensions , which , if left unchecked , Super Vegito allows himself to be absorbed by Super Buu With little left to lose , Super Buu turns Super Vegito into a coffee flavored jawbreaker . All seems lost until Candy - Vegito reveals that he is able to fly around and still attack physically , beating Super Buu in comical fashion and slicing off his antenna . Super Buu turns Vegito back to normal when realizing that there is no way to hurt Vegito because of his small size ( despite the fact he could not hit him before anyway ) . After another beating , even Super Buu ' s regeneration is starting to fail him . Unknown to Super Buu , however , Vegito could have effortlessly destroyed him at any given moment , yet he toyed around with him . Before being absorbed , he had set up a Saiyan Shield , so he would not be integrated into , as Vegito called it , " Buu Goo . " This is because he wanted to be absorbed so as to free all his friends and family members . Thus the reason for cutting off the antenna and giving him the free time . Super Buu then goes on a rampage , and Vegito is left within him to free everyone . When he enters Super Buu ' s body , the magic of the earrings wear off , and Vegito splits into Goku and Vegeta again . Goku suggests that Kid Buu , Goku and Vegeta are also given the option to become Vegito again , but Goku refuses , claiming that as a Saiyan , his pride keeps him from doing it , preferring to fight alone , and also citing that the fusion is permanent , and crushes the earring . Vegeta is impressed by this , saying it was " Spoken like a true Saiyan " , and then crushes his earring as well . Dragon Ball Super " Future " Trunks Saga Main article : " Future " Trunks Saga We ' re a merged fighter , a combination of Kakarot : Vegito . And here ' s something new : Vegito BLUUUUUEEEEE ! ! ! — " Showdown ! The Miraculous Power of Unyielding Warriors Vegito returns During the intense battle with Fused Zamasu , Goku uses all his power in his God Kamehameha to stop the Holy Wrath . Afterwards , Zamasu is damaged and the left side of his face begins to mutate , which is a prelude to his corrupted state . Goku again attacks Zamasu but Zamasu grievously injures him and he falls down after exhausting the rest of his energy with the use of his Super Saiyan Blue Kaio - ken technique . They realize Goku ' s actions only made Fused Zamasu grow angry . Fused Zamasu angrily powers up , and his right arm begins to mutate in a similar fashion as his face . Gowasu points out Fused Zamasu ' s potential weakness : while Future Zamasu ' s body is immortal , Goku Black ' s body is not , and there is no synergy between Fused Zamasu ' s soul and body . This can cause his mortal and immortal halves to conflict , creating openings , but they will need large amounts of power to Vegito Blue attacking Fused Zamasu In the anime , after introducing himself briefly to Zamasu , Vegito transforms into Super Saiyan Blue , dubbing himself " Vegito Blue " ( or " Blue Vegerot " in the manga ) . Fused Zamasu fires a Holy Wrath at Vegito , who easily dissipates it , much to the corrupt God ' s shock . Vegito punches Fused Zamasu as he begins to once again lecture about gods and mortals , and Vegito challenges Fused Zamasu to squash him . The two then proceed to fight an intense battle , creating havoc and destruction in the surrounding area . The two fight to a stalemate , but Vegito is caught by a surprise punch and sent crashing to the ground . As Fused Zamasu prepares to As Vegito continues to pummel around Fused Zamasu , he tries to finish him off with a Final Kamehameha . Fused Zamasu emerges from the attack , and Vegito teleports directly to him to hit him with a god aura - cloaked punch , but as he does so , he immediately defuses back to Goku and Vegeta . Shin notes that it has n ' t been an hour yet , and Gowasu explains since Vegito used all of his power into the Final Kamehameha , there was not enough left to sustain the fusion . Fused Zamasu takes the opportunity to knock Goku and Vegeta down together with the same punch from his powered - up mutated arm , sending the two Saiyans crashing to the ground beaten . Vegito Blue battles against Fused Zamasu In the manga , Vegito transforms into a Super Saiyan Blue , proclaiming that he is not a true god and is simply a mortal like him due to never officially having become a Supreme Kai - also boasting that Fused Zamasu ' s fusion will wear off in an hour too . Fused Zamasu angrily curses Gowasu for never telling him about the time limit of fusion . The two begin to fight but Vegito easily decimates Fused Zamasu , at one point slicing Fused Zamasu ' s hands off so fast that he does not notice . Fused Katchin and throws them at Vegito , while at the same time Vegito prepares his Final Kamehameha in order to finish off Fused Zamasu , however before he can fire the fusion unexpectedly wears off and Fused Zamasu ' s Katchin hits Goku and Vegeta , knocking them to the ground .

As he battles Cunber , the evil Saiyan comments on how amazed he is to find a worthy foe and after sending Vegito into a cliff side , the fused warrior uses the Super Saiyan Blue Kaio - ken to fight evenly against him . Cunber fired up an even more powerful energy blast than before and Vegito responds by using the Final Kamehameha to counter it . After a struggle on both sides , the blasts cancel each other out though a section of the chain breaks . Cunber launches a Power Ball into the sky which causes him to transform into a Golden Great Ape and fires another blast at Vegito though he immediately splits back into Goku and Vegito having used up all their power . Power Manga and Anime Vegito Blue vs . Grotesque Fused Zamasu Would you look at me ? I ' m making records . — Vegito testing his body . Vegito is the strongest character within the original Dragon Ball manga , and one of the most powerful characters in the entire series overall . As a fused Saiyan , his power is a result of the combined power of Goku multiplied by Vegeta , amplified many times over . So the stronger each individual Saiyan is , the stronger the resulting fused warrior . This makes him one of the strongest fusions in the series alongside Kefla , and Super Vegito easily dominated Super Buu ( who had absorbed Piccolo , Goten , Trunks and Ultimate Gohan ) , while Ultimate Gohan had previously struggled against Super Buu ( who had absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo ) , with Vegito simply toying with the Majin and only using his feet to fight . In the anime , he was able to toy with Super Buu ( Gohan Absorbed ) even in his base form and then in his Super Vegito form , although when Buu tapped into his rage and let out a powerful Vice Shout , Vegito briefly needed as demonstrated when Super Buu turns him into a candy . , Goku comments that fusing with Vegeta would get him stronger but not enough to defeat Beerus , after losing a battle to the God of Destruction . When Goku and Vegeta fuse to battle Fused Zamasu , Vegito ' s power has increased by orders of magnitude from his first appearance , because of Goku and Vegeta ' s individual growths as fighters , and both possessing the physical might of Super Saiyan God . In the manga , once fully transformed into Super Saiyan Blue , Shin exclaims that his power already seems to be greater than Beerus ' . In the anime , while they appeared evenly matched at first , Vegito managed to overwhelm the fused god , even after Zamasu had further increased In the manga , in his base form he is able to blast off half of Fused Zamasu , who initially mistakes him for a further transformation of Goku or Vegeta . Once using Super Saiyan Blue , Vegito showcased absolute dominance over Fused Zamasu , similar to his fight against Super Buu , cutting off both of Zamasu ' s arms without him even noticing it . However , Vegito ' s power at this point was so great that it severely shortened the duration of his fusion . Super Dragon Ball Heroes In the game , Vegito as a Super Saiyan Blue is able to outmatch Super Saiyan Cunber . Super Saiyan Blue Kaio - ken Vegito clashes equally with Golden Great Ape Cunber In the manga , Super Saiyan Blue Vegito is able to battle Cunber ' s base and Super Saiyan forms , he then gets serious using the Kaio - ken to double his power to which Kanba responds by turning Golden Great Ape . Super Saiyan Blue Kaio - ken Vegito proves to be able to clash evenly with Golden Great Ape Cunber - the battle between the two causing the Prison Planet ' s sealing spell to begin coming undone - however the strain of both Super Saiyan Blue and Kaio - ken proves too much for Vegito - In the anime , Super Saiyan Blue Vegito struggles with base Cunber and has to utilize the Kaio - ken to double his power . However , even though he did n ' t appear to have an advantage , Cunber responds by turning into a Golden Great Ape . But , Vegito ' s power was too great to hold the fusion before the battle could finish . Video Games In the Extra Story Mission of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 , when a significantly stronger Dabura appears during the battle of Super Vegito and Super Buu , Dabura sides with Buu to try and kill Vegito , however Vegito opts to power up more and despite Dabura ' s significant power increase Vegito is still able to hold them both off quite easily and force Dabura to retreat , shocking a observing Elder Kai , who says Vegito is far more powerful than he actually imagined .

Statements by authors and guidebooks In his first appearance , his base form ' s strength measures greater than a Super Saiyan 3 The resulting warrior from Potara fusion is more powerful than the equivalent Fusion Dance result , thus Vegito is stronger than his counterpart Gogeta . If Vegito ( from the Majin Buu Saga ) were to fight Gogeta ( from Fusion Reborn ) , Vegito would win if the fight was long , but would lose a short battle .

Super Buu ( Gohan absorbed ) Dragon Ball Super Vegito ( Super Saiyan Blue ) vs . ( Half - Corrupted form / Huge Final Stage ) Anime Vegito ( Base / Super Saiyan Blue ) vs . Fused Zamasu Manga Super Dragon Ball Heroes Anime Vegito ( Super Saiyan Blue / Super Saiyan Blue Kaio - ken ) vs . ( Evil Saiyan / Base / Golden Great Ape ) Manga Vegito ( Super Saiyan Blue / Super Saiyan Blue Kaio - ken ) vs . Cunber ( Base / Super Saiyan / Golden Great Ape ) Trivia The name Vegito is derived from a portmanteau of the Japanese kana spellings of the names Vegeta ベジータ Bejīta and Kakarot カカロット Kakarotto . The most common romanization of the character ' s name in Japan is Vegetto , a portmanteau of Vegeta and Kakarotto . Because the spelling Kakarot is used in Viz ' s English manga instead of Kakarotto , the name became Vegerot . The spelling Vegito is used in the English dub of the anime by Funimation , using the last two letters of " Kakarot " reversed , but inconsistent because of the presence of the " i " . In the English dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai , however , the spelling that is used is " Vegetto " . In Vegito ' s debut , he was referred to as ゴジータ Gojīta Old Kai states that a hypothetical potara fusion of Goku and Gohan would not need to turn Super Saiyan to defeat Super Buu . In the manga , Vegito transforms into a Super Saiyan as soon as he appears . In the anime , he fights Buu for some time before he finally transforms . In his base form , Vegito still outclasses Super Buu and even manages to deflect a planet - shattering bomb , thus making it clear ( in the anime ) that he could have beaten Buu without even transforming into a Super Saiyan . While the Japanese and Funimation dubs have Vegito talk with Vegeta and Goku ' s respective voices overlapping each other simultaneously , in the Ocean dub and the German dub , Vegito speaks with only one voice , sounding as medium pitch between Goku and Vegeta . The fusion using the Potara Earrings was supposed to be permanent . Yet , when Vegito is inside Buu , Goku and Vegeta separate . Goku credits this to being a result of all the foul masses in the magical atmosphere of Buu ' s body . Shin also confirms that the Namekian Dragon Balls can in fact undo the fusion as well if need be . It is revealed in that fusions not involving a Supreme Kai will remain for an hour , explaining Goku and Vegeta ' s sudden fission in Buu ' s body . In the Funimation dub of , Vegito ' s theme is " Vegeta vs . Goku " ( composed by Bruce Faulconer ) . Additionally , Vegito ' s theme song ( " Gleaming Potara " ) in sounds more evil than Gogeta ' s theme ( " The Strongest Challenger ! ! " ) in Dragon Ball Z : Ultimate Battle 22 which sounds heroic . Both themes were composed by Kenji Yamamoto In the early Funimation dub , Candy Vegito ' s voice was high pitched ; this was changed to make him sound like his normal self in the remastered series . , Vegito has three different Skill Set variations , one with Vegito ' s own moves in - game , the second one having some of Goku ' s moves , and the third having Vegeta ' s moves . , Vegito has the same 3 Goku , Vegeta , and Vegito themed movesets just like in the previous game of the series , but SSGSS Vegito only has one Skill Set variation of his own moves , some being completely unique to that character . In the Future Trunks Saga of , Vegito is still wearing the same outfit he wore during his debut in the Fusion Saga despite Vegeta wearing a different outfit since the last time they fused . Despite the Potara earring fusion lasting only an hour , Vegito ' s fusion was significantly cut short in his battle against Fused Zamasu due to his immense power similar to Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta in his battle against Omega Shenron . Both are similar in that they were about to deal the final blow to the villain before defusing . Dragon Ball Z : Supersonic Warriors Dragon Ball Z : Burst Limit Goku ' s CPU ' s outfit resembles Vegito ' s outfit . , Fused Zamasu addresses Vegito as Son Goku . At the same time , Vegito refers to Goku in third person when talking to Fused Zamasu . A hidden audio file for shows that Vegito can go Super Saiyan 2 . In the hidden audio file , he says , " Guess I ' m Super Vegito 2 now ! " This indicates that it may have been planned for Vegito to be able to go Super Saiyan 2 in the game .

http://drakenberg.weebly.com/scythians.html | Home DeVere Lineage Krupa de Tarnawa Publications Dragon Family Tree Dragon Genes Sacred History more . . . SCYTHIANS Dragon Lords , Dragon Fossils Scythian Death mask The meaning of the name of the ancestor of the Scythians was also a common characterization of his nation , his descendants . Truth and trustworthiness above advantage , which strongly reminds of the de Vere family motto . " the prince of truth " " the defender of the side of the sun god " This tradition goes back to the ancient tradition of northern sunworship , where the sungod was the god of truth and protector of mankind and was represented by the light of the sun , which enlightens us . the Scythian name of God was TAR . Fierce Scythians were known as Dragons for their heavy , segmented armour ; they were the forefathers of medieval knights . The Silk Road , itself , can be envisioned as a vast dragon . Why not make your tribe ' s totem the biggest , baddest creature who ' s bones are in your hillsides ? Naturally , myths of dragons , dragon bones and dragon lords arose in tandem . The crested dragon is the grand - daddy of T - Rex THE SAKA It seems that both nomadic and sedentary Iranians referred to themselves as Airyas ; gradually , however , this word became a self - imposed designation for the settled Iranians only , who began to refer to their nomadic cousins in the East , i.e. , Zoroaster ' s people , as the Saka , and some of those further west as SKUDRA [ 3 ] [ 3 ] ; the Saka probably did not call themselves exclusively by this name , some may have retained the use of the term Airya . Many Saka tribes left the northern steppes intermittently to settle permanently in Central Asia , modern Afghanistan , and Persia ; these tribes are the direct forebears of the imperial Western Iranians , the Medes , Persians and lastly , the Parthians ; Once converted to Zoroastrianism , however , such became their religious significance , that by the middle of the 1st millennium B.C. , the centre of the faith was neither in the homeland of its founder , nor in any of the adjoining Eastern Iranian regions ; it was firmly established on the western side of the great salt desert , amongst the people now called Western Iranians ; from then onwards , Eastern Iran fades into the background ; we now deal almost exclusively with Western Iran , and until very recently , were not even aware of the The nomadic Iranians of the north western steppes , however , especially those settled in Europe , are extensively covered by the classical writers ; they are also attested in a very large number of archaeological excavations in Eastern Europe ; these Iranian peoples are known in the West as Cimmerians , Scythians , Sarmatians , Alans , and finally Ossets ; it must be emphasised that all these names refer to the successive migratory waves of the same people , who probably called themselves by a name derived from the word Airya , as the Alans did , and CIMMERIANS The earliest recorded nomadic western Iranians are the Cimmerians ; they make their first appearance in Assyrian annals at the beginning of the 8th century B.C. , where they are referred to as Gimmiri ; they came down from modern Ukraine , and conquered eastern Thrace , and most of modern Turkey , being pushed westwards by another nomadic Iranian people , the Scythians ( see below ) ; they left behind a wealth of archaeological material , including a vast number of mound - burials in western Asia Minor ; they later allied themselves with the Medes against the [ 4 ] [ 4 ] ) . SCYTHIANS This is by far the most important , and enduring designation given by the classical sources to the nomadic Iranians of the steppes ; the name refers to the entire non - sedentary Iranians , both in the West , and in the East ( the Saka ) . Greek records place them in southern Russia in the 8th century B.C. , however , recent archaeological evidence testifies that they , Cimmerians , and other Steppe Iranians may have been there far earlier . Greek geographers of the 4th century B.C. also credit the Scythians with inhabiting the largest part Like other Iranians , these nomads probably called themselves by the generic term " Airya " ; this is testified inter alia by the native name of their descendants in the present day Europe ( see below ) ; it seems , however , that they , or at least some of their powerful clans , also called themselves " SAKA " in the East , and * SKUنA , SKUDA , or SKUDRA [ 5 ] [ 5 ] in the West . SKUDA is believed to be related to the German word " SACHS " , meaning a type of throwing - dagger which the eponymic Saxons used to carry and shoot with [ 6 ] [ 6 ] ; indeed , it is possible that like the historical Saxons , the Skuda derived their name from their ability to shoot . [ cf . Franks ] . Their first appearance in recorded history is again in the Assyrian annals , where they chase the Cimmerians , their own kinsmen , first out of Europe , then out of Asia Minor into the Median territory ; in the 7th century B.C. they allied themselves with the Assyrians , and attacked the combined forces of the invading rebellious Median vassal king , Khshathrita ( Phraortes in Greek , Kashtariti in Akkadian ) and his Cimmerians allies ; the Assyrians repelled the Medes , killing Phraortes , and routed the Cimmerians ; the real victors , however , were the The Scythians were called by the Assyrians Ashkuza or Ishkuza ( A / Iڑ - k / gu - za - ai ) ; as with the Gimmiri , this word also appears to have found its way into the Old Testament ; one of Gomer ' s ( Gimmiri ) three sons , in Genesis I . x . 12 , is called Ashkenaz , which has given us the modern Hebrew word , Ashkenazi [ 7 ] [ 7 ] . The Scythians were known by the Achaemenians , as SAKA and SKUDRA , by the Greeks , SKغTHIA ( سê ? èéل ) , by the Romans , SCYTHIAE ( pron . SKITYAI ) , which has given us the English word SCYTHIAN ; they lived in a wide area stretching from the south and west of the River Danube to the eastern and northeastern edges of the Taklamakan Desert in China ; this vast territory includes now parts of Central Europe , the eastern half of the Balkans , the Ukraine , northern Caucasus , southern Russia , southern Physiognomy We know a great deal about their physical appearance ; they were long - headed giants with blond hair and blue eyes ; this well - known fact is attested by various classical sources [ 8 ] [ 8 ] , and by their skeletal and other remains in numerous archaeological excavations , which give a fairly detailed description of these ancient Iranians [ 9 ] [ 9 ] ; recently , a large number of their mummified corpses were discovered in western China ; these mummies , which are extremely well - preserved in the arid conditions of the Taklamakan desert , are now on display at the museums of khotan , Urumchi , and Turfan in Sinkiang ; they are dressed in Scythian costume , i.e. , leather tunic and trousers , and are usually displayed in the sitting position , exactly as described by Herodotus ; what is extra ordinary apart from their northern European features , however , is their gigantic heights Equestrian skill The Scythians , and other early steppe Iranians are believed to have been the first Indo - Europeans to use domesticated horses for riding ( as opposed to eating ) ; this theory has acquired fresh credibility after the recent discovery of horse skeletons at the Sredny Stog archaeological culture , east of the River Dniepr , a well - known pre - historical Scythian site in eastern Ukraine ; these bones were identified as belonging to bitted , therefore , ridden horses dating to 4000 B.C. , at least 2500 years older than the previously known examples . More recent excavations east of the Ural Mountains credit them also with the invention of the first two - wheeled chariot [ 10 ] [ 10 ] ; such mobility , naturally , turned them into a formidable fighting force ; they never willingly fought on foot , and used armour both for themselves and their mounts ; they also developed the famous steppe tactic of faked retreat , and the " Parthian shot " , shooting backwards while on mounted retreat ; this tactic , named after their well - known descendants , the Parthians , requires an amazing skill and balance in the saddle , and a dazzling co - ordination of eyes , arms and breath without the support of stirrups Their women In this unique pastoralist equestrian warrior society , women fought alongside their men ; not only they were held in an equal status with men , but also periodically they actually ruled them ; this so called upside - down society both fascinated and horrified the male dominated Greek culture ; later , the Romans expressed the same horror , when they encountered the Celtic and Germanic female warriors . Greek writers called the fighting Iranian women they met in the Ukrainian steppes , the Amazons ; later Greek sources placed them further east , in northeastern parts of Iran . This incredible social equality , at such an early age , is irrefutably attested , not only by a host of classical writers , but also by a wealth of archaeological evidence ; in many mound - burials in the former Soviet Union , it is by no means unusual to find remains of women warriors dressed in full armour , lying on a war chariot , surrounded by their weaponry , and significantly , accompanied by a host of male subordinates specially sacrificed in their honour ; nonetheless , these young Iranian warriors , as evidenced by the archaeological remains of their costumes and jewellery , do not seem to have lost their femininity ; they remained " feminine as well as female " as a great contemporary German scholar puts it [ 11 ] [ 11 ] . Archaeological excavations also testify to the amazing skill of these people in making jewellery ; some of the finds are so dazzling in quality and advanced in technique that it is hard to imagine that they are produced by an unsettled , nomadic culture ; we are indeed very fortunate that these early steppe Iranians practised elaborate funerary rituals and interred their treasures with their dead in huge impregnable burial mounds ; hence , the vast majority of the steppe Iranians ' artifacts known to the learned world is attributed to the Scythians . http : / / www . cais - soas . com / CAIS / Religions / iranian / Zarathushtrian / Oric .

Dragons have a long history in human mythology . How did the myth start ? No one knows the exact answer , but some myths may have been inspired by living reptiles , and some " dragon " bones probably belonged to animals long extinct — in some cases dinosaurs , in others , fossil mammals . Starting in the early 19th century , scientists began to find a new kind of monster , one that had gone extinct tens of millions of years before the first humans evolved . Because the first fragments found looked lizard - like , http : / / www . strangescience . net / stdino2 . htm Regarding mythical creatures , Herodotus believed that some legends he heard preserved a kernel of genuine fact , and he played a role in spreading the legend of the griffin . Griffins , according to the nomads he interviewed , were four - legged and lion - sized , with wings and sharp beaks . What might the nomads have seen that prompted these myths ? Modern paleontological digs in the region have revealed fossil skeletons of Protoceratops and Psittacosaurus dinosaurs . The nomads of his time may have seen similar skeletons eroding out of the sediments along the Silk Road . These were n ' t the only potential fossils mentioned in Herodotus ' s works . When in Egypt , he wrote , he was shown piles of " bones and spines . " These may have belonged to spinosaurs , large Cretaceous reptiles with dorsal membraned spines , or to pterosaurs . And the giant skeletons of heroes he discussed may well have belonged to fossil mammals from the Miocene , Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs . Herodotus mentioned at least one unambiguous fossil find . " I have seen shells on the hills , " he wrote of Egypt . He reached a conclusion that is common today : The area " was originally an arm of the sea . " Herodotus also ventured into the field of geology , guessing ( inaccurately ) that in the recent geologic past , Egypt had been a gulf of the sea . Although he was wrong about Egypt ' s geology , he was right in concluding that the world we live in changes over time , thanks Scythians ( skyty , skify ) . A group of Indo - European tribes that controlled the Southern Ukrainian steppe in the 7th to 3rd centuries BC . They first appeared there in the late 8th century BC after having been forced out of Central Asia . The Scythians were related to the * Sauromatians and spoke an Iranian dialect . After quickly conquering the lands of the * Cimmerians they pursued them into Asia Minor and established themselves as a power in the region . In the 670s BC they launched a successful campaign to expand into Media , Syria The bellicose Scythians were often in conflict with their neighbors , particularly the Thracians in the west and the * Sarmatians in the east . They faced their greatest military challenge around 513 - - 512 BC , when the Persian king Darius I led an expeditionary force against them . By withdrawing and undertaking scorched - earth tactics rather than engaging in pitched battles , they forced the Persians to retreat in order to preserve their army . The event had a significant impact on subsequent Scythian development , for it confirmed their position as masters of the steppes The Scythians reached their apex in the 4th century BC under King Ateas , who eliminated his rivals and united all the tribal factions under his rule . He waged a successful war against the Thracians but died in 339 BC in a battle against the army of Philip 11 of Macedon . In 331 BC the Scythians defeated one of Alexander the Great ' s armies . Subsequently they began a period of decline brought about by constant Sarmatian attacks . They were forced to abandon the steppe to their rivals and re - established themselves in the 2nd The Scythians were divided into several major tribal groups . Agrarian Scythian groups lived in what is now Poltava region and between the Boh and the Dnieper rivers . The lower Boh region near * Olbia was inhabited by Hellenized Scythians , known as Callipidae ; the central Dniester region was home to the Alazones ; and north of them were the Aroteres . The kingdom was dominated by the Royal Scythians , a small but bellicose minority in the lower Dnieper region and the Crimea that had established a system of dynastic succession . Their realm was divided into The Scythians inhabiting the steppe were nomadic herders of horse , sheep , and cattle . Those in the forest - steppe were more sedentary cultivators of wheat , millet , barley , and other crops . ( Some scholars believe that those agriculturists may have been the predecessors of the Slavs . ) Scythian artisans excelled at metalworking in iron , bronze , silver , and gold . The Scythians also engaged in hunting , fishing , and extensive trade with Greece through the Pontic city - states ; they provided grains , livestock , fish , furs , The Scythians ' military prowess was in large measure the result of their abilities as equestrian archers . They raised and trained horses extensively , and virtually every Scythian male had at least one mount . They lavished care and attention on their horses and dressed them in ornate trappings . Saddles and metal stirrups were not used by the Scythians , although felt or leather supports may have been . The foremost weapon of a Scythian warrior was the double - curved bow , which was used to shoot arrows over the left shoulder of a mounted horse . Because of their generally nomadic or seminomadic existence the Scythians usually had relatively few possessions . Those they did have were often of exquisite quality and craftsmanship and established the Scythians ' reputation in the ancient world as devotees of finery ( see * Scythlan art ) . The Scythians never developed a written language or a literary tradition . They had a well - defined religious cosmology , however . Their deities included the fire goddess Tabiti , followed by Papeus ( the ' Father ' ) , Apia ( goddess of the earth ) , Oetosyrus ( god of the sun ) , Artimpasa ( goddess of the moon ) , and Thagimasadas ( god of water ) . The Scythians did not build temples , altars , or idols to worship their deities , but they maintained a caste of soothsayers and believed strongly in Scythian burial customs were elaborate , particularly among the aristocracy . A chieftain remained unburied for 40 days after his death . During that time his internal organs were cleansed , his body cavity was stuffed with herbs , and his skin was waxed . He was then parad ' ed through his realm accompanied by a large retinue indulging in ostentatious lamentation . After 40 days he was interred in a large * kurhan ( up to 20 m high ) together with his newly killed favorite wife or concubine , household servants , and horses , as well For many years the memory of the Scythians was best preserved by Herodotus , who included a lengthy , basically factual account of them in his Histories . After the last Scythians had died out in the 3rd century AD , the tribes were largely forgotten . Interest in them was revived as a result of some spectacular finds in Scythian barrows , starting with the * Melgunov kurhan in 1763 The ensuing search for richer caches impeded archeological research on the more prosaic aspects of Scythian life until Soviet archeologists undertook work in that realm in the 2oth century The people who lived in Steppes were overwhelmingly horsemen . Many were at least semi - nomadic with herds of livestock . Nomadism explains why there were waves of occupants . These Steppe people , Central Eurasians , traveled to and mated with people in the peripheral civilizations . Herodotus is one of our main literary sources for the Steppe tribes , but he is n ' t terribly reliable . The people of the ancient Near East recorded dramatic encounters with the people of the Steppe . Archaeologists and anthropologists have supplied more information about the Steppes people , 1 . Cimmerians The Cimmerians ( Kimmerians ) were Bronze Age communities of horsemen north of the Black Sea from the second millennium B.C. The Scythians drove them out in the 8th century . Cimmerians fought their way into Anatolia and the Near East . They controlled the central Zagros in the early to mid 7th century . In 695 , they sacked Gordion , in Phrygia . With the Scythians , the Cimmerians attacked Assyria , repeatedly . Sources : " Cimmerians " The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Archaeology . Timothy Darvill . Oxford University Press , 2008 .

The Yuezhi reached Bactria ( northwest Afghanistan and Tajikistan ) around 135 B.C. , moved south into Gandhara , and established a capital near Kabul .

It is thought that the founder of the Parthian empire was Arsaces I . The Parthian Empire was located in modern Iran , from the Caspian Sea to the Tigris and Euphrates Valley . The Sasanians , under Ardashir I ( who ruled from A.D. 224 - 241 ) , defeated the Parthians , thereby putting an end to the Parthian Empire . To the Romans , the Parthians proved a formidable opponent , especially after the 5 . Scythians ( Sakans to the Persians ) lived in the Steppes , from the 7th to the 3rd century B.C. , displacing the Cimmerians in the area of the Ukraine . Scythians and Medes may have attacked Urartu in the 7th century . Herodotus says the language and culture of the Scythians was like that of nomadic Iranian tribes . He also says Amazons mated with Scythians to produce the Sarmatians . At the end of the fourth century , the Scythians crossed the Tanais or Don River , settling down between it and the Volga . Herodotus called the Goths Scythians . Source : Amazons in the Scythia : New Finds at the Middle Don , Southern Russia , by Valeri I . Guliaev World Archaeology © 2003 Taylor & Francis , Ltd .

They lived on the plains between the Black and Caspian Sea , separated from the Scythians by the Don River . Tombs show they moved west into Scythian territory by the mid - third century . They demanded tribute from Greek towns on the Black Sea , but sometimes allied with the Greeks in fighting the Scythians . Source : Jona Lendering 7 . Xiongnu and Yuezhi of Mongolia The Chinese pushed the nomadic Xiongnu back across the Yellow River and into the Gobi desert in the 3rd century B.C. and then built the Great Wall to keep them out . It is not known where the Xiongnu came from , but they went to the Altai Mountains and Lake Balkash , where the nomadic Indo - Iranian Yuezhi lived . The two groups of nomads fought , with the Xiongnu triumphant . The Yuezhi migrated to the Oxus valley . Meanwhile the Xiongnu went back to harrass the Chinese in about 200 B.C.

Thus , that fact is very important that findings of the Early - Scytian time are excavated in the right - bank forest - steppe up to the upper Dniester land . Due to the regular annual researches of the Lvov archeologists under L . Krushelnitska ’ s management , numerous settlements and burial grounds of the Late - bronze and the Late - iron time are “ In the area 6000 sq . m were excavated four settlements ( Neporotovo I , II , III , IV ) , numerous separate remains and the remains of a burial ground . The findings and also the layers of the objects overlaping each other , enabled allocation of three chronological horizons : the upper – the Early - Scythian , the transitive - from the Pre - Scythian to the Scythian , and the lower which is synchronous with the Chornolis culture " L . 1993 - 1 , 7 ) . The finds of the Early - Scythian time are revealed also in the Lvov Region - near to the village of Krushelnitsa in Skole Area and near the town of Dobromil on the river San ( Krushelnitska L . 1993 - 2 , 226 , 236 ) . Scythian influences reach considerably further : " The presence of the artifacts of Scythian type in the Central Europe ( the authentic and made on Scythian samples ) has allowed researchers to draw a conclusion that this territory was under influence of Scythian culture . The biggest concentration of finds of the Scythian type is observed in Transylvania and Hungary " ( Popovich And . 1993 , 250 - 251 ) . The Ukrainian archeologists as a whole recognize that the cultural continuity from the Pre - Scythian to the Scythian time is observed in the Ukrainian Forest - steppe first of all in the area of the spreading of the Chornolis culture and the finds of the Zhabotyn type which are considered as its continuation ( Archeology of Ukrainian SSR , V 2 , 1986 , 50 ) . The opinion about the succession of the Scythian culture in the Forest - steppe of the Dnieper Right - bank from local cultures does not cause objections even at supporters of Asian origin of the Scythian culture as a whole : “ A plenty of remains of the pastoral - agricultural population of the Scythian culture , which roots deeply go in local cultures of the Bronze Age , are concentrated in the Forest - steppe of the Right bank to the West from Dnieper ” ( Iljinskaja V.A. , Terenozhkin A.I. , 1983 , 11 ) . Thus the following observation is important : " The Scythian - Siberian barrow burial was spread in the Right - bank Forest - steppe . . . Such ceremony , peculiar to early Scythians , has held steady on in the Forest - steppe of Right - bank up to the end of Scythian period " ( Iljinskaja V.A. , Terenozhkin A.I. , 1983 , 365 ) . This and other facts give the grounds to think that the Scythian culture was widespread to the Left bank of the Dnieper from the west , instead of from the east . Iljinskaja and Terenozhkin , supporters of its Asian origins , contradicted themselves when they spoke that in the Left - bank Ukraine the earliest remains of the beginning of the Iron Age are the settlements and the burial places of the second step of the Chornolis culture . Their occurrence has been caused by the consequence of the migration of a part of the population from the Dnieper ( Iljinskaja V.A. , Terenozhkin A.I. , 1983 , 366 ) . However , even supporters of the aboriginal theory did not occur that the Scythian culture could develop integrally on the basis of local cultures of the Western Ukraine . The opinion that the Scythian culture was brought here by newcomers whence from steppes dominates among scholars . Penetration of these carriers of the Scythian culture is supposed even till the territory of modern Hungary ( Popovich I . 1993 , 282 ) and Germany . Scythian golden fish of the sixth century B.C. has been found in province of Brandenburg . This fact gives scholars grounds to say : “ With other objects of treasure , mostly , of gold , it documents the influence , and possibly the invasion , of Scythians , nomadic horsemen from the steppes north of the Black Sea , around 500 B.C. ” ( Dietrich Sahrhage , Johannes Lundbeck , 1992 , 17 ) . Such opinions look surprising if to pay attention that the eldest remains of the Scythian culture in the village of Lahodiv ( near to the city of Lvov ) are dated by 5 - th B.C. , and further the chronological break begins to 1 - st century AD when the period of the Lipetsk culture appears ( Krushelnytska L . 1993 - 2 , 238 ) . By Krushelnytska ’ s words , one can notice the same situation also " on the countries of the whole the forest - steppe Ukraine " ( Ib . ) . Practically it means that the Late - Scythian culture had no place on these lands , but only the Early - Scythian one . Consequently , it looks illogical that the Scythian penetration in the Fore - Carpathian and further beyond the Carpathian Mountains began before the fullest flower of the Scythian culture in the steppes of the Northern Black Sea Coast Herodotus asserted that Scythians , coming from Asia , have superseded Cimmerians from the Black Sea Coast and pursued them even beyond the Caucasus . The area of Cimmerian cultures reaches beyond the Right bank of the Dnieper up to the Danube , therefore it is doubtful that Scythians , having arrived from the east , have superseded Cimmerians in the Transcaucasia . If Cimmerians receded before Scythians , they should escape somewhere beyond the Dnieper and further beyond the Danube , to the Balkans , but not to make the way through Scythians to the Derbent pass and further Solving the question of the ethnic belonging of Scythians , it is necessary to pay attention to the fact of existence in the steppes near the Azov and the Caspian Seas in second half 1 - st thousand two big states created by Bulgars and related to them Khazars . Bulgarian tribes have been incorporated in Great Bulgaria by one of the tribe leaders Kubrat into 635 and approximately at the same time Khazarian Khaganat started to develop too . Soon after Kubrats death , intense relations between both states led to disorder of Great Bulgaria . One Bulgarian horde Pletneva S.A. , 1986 , 20 - 41 ) . As we see , Bulgars should be very numerous people which history is traced on the ways of their migration from the Western Ukraine through the seaboard steppes up to the banks of the Kama . This numerous people which have to stay in the steppes of Ukraine in days of Herodotus therefore could not to be remained without the attention of this Greek historian . Hence , it is necessary to assume that Bulgars , at least , were among those tribes which are mentioned by Herodotus in his " We know , that Proto - Bulgars moved to the right bank of the Dnieper from the end of 3 - rd mill . B.C. First they have occupied only the steppe , but have promoted also in the forest - steppe strip later . This fact can to be testified by lexical coincidences between German and Chuvash languages ( Stetsyuk V . , 1998 , 85 - 86 ) . The hypothetical territory of Bulgar ’ s settlement should be somewhere to the south of the area of ancient Tuetons , that is in the basin of the upper Dniester , the rivers Vereschitsia , Zolota Lypa , Strypa . Bulgars stay in this territory can be proved by numerous toponymics . This theme has been considered in corresponding work more detailed ( Stetyuk V . , 2002 , 13 - 20 ) . Here it is possible to specify only that one the of congestions of Scythian toponymics is in the territory of the Cherepyn - Lahodiv group of archaeological remains which L . Krushelnytska binds with the Early - Scythian culture . On the whole , the greatest congestion of Bulgarian toponymics has been revealed on territory of the Lvov Region and further to the east up to the river the Hnyla Lypa though it is certified on all territory forest - steppe Rightbank Ukraine where it adjoins to the toponymics of Kurdish type Scythian Vocabulary and Names http : / / users . cwnet . com / millenia / scythwrd . html Scythians and Druids The Tocharians depicted in the cave shrines of Takla Makan are red haired and wear the same conical hat , sometimes called a Phrygian cap . A variant of this was worn by Mithras , the intermediary god adopted by the Persians and featured in the Indian pantheon of the Asuras In monarchical dualism he is depicted as balancing the forces of increase and decrease , represented by the gods Ahura Mazda and Ahriman and some classical authors identified him with Jesus Christ . His headgear is also depicted as the hat worn by gnomes and dwarves . Accompanying the depictions of the Tocharian Lords in these cave temples are examples of the language attributed to them - Tocharian A script - which looks remarkably like one of the scripts that Tolkien attributes to his Elven peoples . That the Tocharians are Scythian - Aryans themselves means that the devotional language used by their High - Kings and Queens might justifiably be called an Elven language , the tongue of Tolkien ’ s Sundered Elves of the East . The second Gaelic word for ’ vampire ’ is Sumaire , which is pronounced shimarie , with the accent on the middle syllable - shim AR ri . Sumaire is translated as ’ vortex ’ , meaning a whirlpool or spiral , a labyrinth : a sucker , a reptile ( serpent or Dragon ) . There is a clear link here with Sumeria Anu ’ s mother Tiamat , the Dragoness of the deeps , and with Anu ’ s children Samael and Lilith , the forebears of the fairies . Various pictures of the latter two depict them as entwined around a tree , often the tree is Lilith herself , with Samael as the serpent or dragon resting in her branches as in Hebraic Iconography where is the Tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden . The Sumerians appeared first in Mesopotamia in 3500 BC . Prior to their emergence they were preceded by the Ubaid migrants from what is now southern Romania , from Carpathia and Scythia , who had fled south to escape the Black Sea flood of 4000 BC . Dated to about 5000 BC , archaeologists working in Tartaria in the Ubaid Transylvania , discovered a ’ tepes ’ or Rath under which they found a fire - pit . territory of Buried amongst the ashes were the human remains of a cannibalistic sacrificial victim and two clay tablets . On these were inscribed the name of Enki ) , the number of 60 - and the image of a goat , Enki again , and a Tree - Lilith . In Hinduism Siva is the Goatherd of the Mountains . The pictographic nature of the inscriptions convinced the archaeologists that the language was the forerunner of Sumerian and so they called it proto - Sumerian . Making it fairly obvious that the Sumerians were originally Ubaid Overlords from Central Eurasia . Sadly however , because a bunch of right - wing Hungarian nationalists then claimed Sumerian roots by virtue of a discovery made in a backyard they had only recently overrun , subsequent to the discovery in the 1960 ’ s and the attendant madcap claim , no academic would give the proto - Sumerian theory house room , not wishing to accommodate the views of a collection of neo - nazi cranks and quite rightly so . What a group of Mongoloids thought they had in common with the Aryan race the author does n ’ t know . Having invaded the region as the Magyar at so late a period in history the author fails to see how any claim to Sumerian or proto - Sumerian origins , that an isolated group of Hungarian lunatics might make , could possibly hold up under even the most cursory scrutiny . Nevertheless the author also finds the attitude of those academics who opposed the definition to be obstructive and misleading , especially as it is now conclusively proved that the culture responsible for the production of the Tartarian clay tablets and the Rath structure was Ubaid - the founders of civilized Mesopotamia and , as it turns out , the Overlords of the Indus valley civilization of Mohenjo Daro Harrapa where Ishtar reigned as Queen Further east of Transylvania similar discoveries were made in the Ukraine or greater Scythia and the peoples who had settled the area were named after their dwellings , which in Russian were called Kurgans . They were mound houses exactly the same as the tepes of Tartaria and the Tells that the built all the way down through Anatolia to Al ’ Ubaid Sumeria To the Kurgan peoples , obviously the red - haired Aryan or proto - Aryan ( if you must ) horse lords , was attributed the invention of the chariot whose axle dimensions were copied on all horse drawn vehicles right up until the Victorian period , when they were incorporated into the axle width ( 4ft 8½ ins ) of the standard gauge railways still in use today . The influence that vampires have had on European culture should not be dismissed ! They inspired modern wheeled transport , invented tourism in a big way and lent their images and their dress to the lids of every shortbread tin you ’ ve ever seen . It seems fair to suggest , given the wealth of archaeological and anthropological evidence , that the or as we should call them , along with the pale - skinned and red - haired and her descendants , were the early Elven , Aryan - Scythian Dragon Overlords of what we know now as Greater Scythia This particularly in the light of the discoveries of bat winged , serpent - god statuary found in Dacia Tibet ( not too far from Takla Makan ! ) which is said to date back at least 5000 years , putting it into the period of the emergence of civilization in Such figures we would readily identify as the Dragon or , in Gaelic - The Sumaire - whilst the Kurgans / Tells / Tepes that these early Transylvanian / Scythian Sidheans or occupied were clearly duplicated in the Irish Raths of the Danaan , such as Newgrange with its spirally engraved stones , the Ziggurats of the and the Pyramids of the Egyptians Whilst these ancient structures bore the marks of the sumaire , the spiral labyrinth vortex design , thus emphasizing the creachaire - sumaire theme of the Dragon witch Vampire Overlord theme , the Egyptians too adopted the labyrinth and used the spiral as a hieroglyph which they termed the ’ Mer ’ , a symbol of irrigation associating it with water and , via weir spelt Vere and Mhaior , rendering Muir , returning once more to the Egyptian Mer - the fish trap or fish - woman trap , the enclosure of the mermaid , the maze or labyrinth and intimations of the wild hunt . ( Muir and Mhaior name variants courtesy of Dr . Hugh Vere So at long last , having trudged through the backwaters of obscure knowledge we can now say that we know exactly who and what the Vampire was and is . A very rare individual , a God - King amongst the race of human kings , the Vampire descends from the supernatural Dragon Royalty of Sumeria back to the Ubaid Overlords of what was to become known as Greater Scythia The Vampire : the Dragon King or Queen was an Archdruid , a Witch Queen or King , a Fairy Princess or Prince amongst the race of Elphame . Consequently the , the Fairy , the Dragon and the Witch were all the same individual and far from being the characters of fable they were in fact very powerful , very real beings whose vampiric natures and rituals sustained their superconsciousness , transcendent vision which in its turn maintained their positions as the overlords of mankind . These gods of flesh and blood were the only gods that ever actually existed : Myth , however , transformed them into the ethereal deities whom we are conditioned to think of as Gods now , and who came to be worshipped worldwide . Nevertheless flesh and blood they were and their bloodlines descend to the present day . The Druids The word Druid is said to be Greek in origin and , as ’ drys ’ : means ’ tree ’ . Some authorities like to think it means ’ oak tree ’ but no evidence exists to confirm this irrefutably . As we shall see later druid is also related to ’ dru ’ meaning ’ run ’ in Sanskrit and to Drys meaning a Wren - specifically the Goldcrest - one of the birds most sacred to the Druids . For the present however , we will concentrate on the Greek version of the word . Though the Druids are associated with groves and , as some will insist , with oak trees , it is feasible to suggest that in the light of their Sumerian and Ubaid origins , the druids as priest kings of the Dragon , were connected specifically with the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge , rather than with any mundane or temporal shrubbery . Accepting this we may further suggest that , as priests of these pre - eminent Trees of Life and Knowledge , they may be further identified with those magicians and scholars whose Transylvanian descendants , the Scythian Aryans or Sumerian Anunnaki - the Dragon God - Kings - were instrumental in establishing the Chakric system of Hindu and Buddhist Tantra and Hebrew , Arabic and Greek Qabalah whose magical systems , as we all know , contain a glyph called the Tree of Life Generally speaking this Tree , a system of pathways both macrocosmic and microcosmic in nature , links the various subtle energy centers which are said to exist both in the universe , as levels of density and emanation relating to the manifestation of cosmic power and being , and in the human body - on the microcosmic level - as energy centers corresponding to the glands in the endocrinal system . In Qabalah the spheres which do not relate to the glands may be seen as points in the meridian system adopted by the Chinese . On another level , the Qabalistic Tree of Life is a genealogical chart of the Gods The magical Tree is a universal symbol . As in the early Sumerian depiction of the Tree of Life ; the abode of , many of the subsequent Arabic , Indian and European Holy Trees share common attributes . All have residing in their topmost branches some form of bird . In Tantra it is the swan , whose head rests within the Ajna Chakra which corresponds to the pineal pituitary glands corpus callosum . In Welsh druidic lore the bird is represented as the eagle , a typically shamanic , totem bird which symbolizes the ascendent spirit . Here the eagle is the god Lleu ( in Ireland he is the Danaan king Lugh ) , the father of the elven Llewelyn kings of Gwynnedd . In Arabic Sufism the bird is a peacock whilst in Viking lore the Sacred Tree Yggdrasil has at its base a coiled serpent by a pool and in its highest boughs the bird of the released spirit accompanied by a white hart . What a deer is doing up a tree is anyone ’ s guess , but have a stab at it and I ’ ll tell you later . Yggdrasil is called the Axis Mundi and is seen as the tree which contains within its branches and roots the nine worlds of the Viking philosophical system , including their version of the Hebrew Qlipphoth or underworld . Immediately the similarity between it and the Qabalistic Tantric Trees becomes quite apparent and this is no fluke . In actual fact the druid ’ s most sacred tree was n ’ t the oak , it was the apple tree , linked to which is the blue boar , both of which came originally , it was said , from the Otherworld . For this reason the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden was always depicted as the apple , but could be interchanged with the pomegranate for reasons which eventually will become apparent to the hardiest and most persistent reader . The Mistletoe Bard , whom we will encounter later , cut the golden bough from the Apple prior to descending into the underworld . Where it has been suggested that the berries of the mistletoe represent the sperm of the Great Oak God ( Jupiter / Thor / Jehovah / Enlil ) and thus his fertility and life - force , this is n ’ t in fact the case . The Mistletoe grew mainly on Apple trees which , as we shall see , are exclusively female . Therefore the berries of the Mistletoe represent the female and consequently the Goddess ’ fluid , not the seminal fluid of a male deity . The boar is sacred to both Mars and to Arduina or Diana . This link between the apple and the boar , and the boar and Mars and Diana or the Moon is identical with the association between the Apple Tree of Eden as ( of the Moon ) and the Serpent who embraces her . Essentially the symbols of the Boar have become interchangeable . Blue Boar is a druidic symbol of office and the is a symbol of bloodline descent , a clan badge of the druidic race . In the Scythian Dragon Tribe the individual totem animal badges vary from region to region and reflect the local fauna and the status of the clan or sept . As an example a high or archdruidic family badge would be the boar , whilst a junior sept of that clannad would have as its totem the hedgehog , which is rather amusing . The symbol of the Serpent reclining in the Branches of ’ s Apple Tree in the Garden of Eden actually depicts the concept of the eating the fruit itself . This can also be found slightly more abstractly but conversely and paradoxically more graphically at the same time , in the Tantric equivalent of the serpent entwined around a female figure . As the apple is also the favorite fruit of the boar in the wild , it is doubtless that the adoption of the Boar as a badge was because of this and further , that the identification of the boar with the dragon was through their mutual , actual and symbolic love of what the Irish druids called the apples of red - gold . The boar was also called Le Solitaire and for this reason has links with the Merlin which will be dealt with later . The Apple Trees - either or her descendant scarlet priestesses - bore the fruit which symbolized the sephirah and the glands of the female body . These , the apples of red - gold , produce the enriched virginal womb blood that was consumed by both the male and female druids - the Boars in the Orchard and the Serpents or Dragons in the Trees . Red - Gold is also the Tantric Kaula term for womb blood : the Rtu or first flow of the womb . In reinforcing the Uber - Oupire link - the identification between the witch druidhe ) and vampire - it is worth taking a look at the totem system of Mithraism , a close cousin of druidism . In the Mithraic initiatory grades there are 7 degrees . The Highest is the Dragon and the penultimate is the wolf . Also included is the Raven and with variations across Europe these animals , along with Swans , Geese , Bears , Vipers , Hawks , eagles and so on , served as the tuadh kingdom emblems for the various Scythian groups . Romania however , these grades with their animal totems or badges make up the degrees or conditions of vampirism . The most potent vampire is the Dracoi female Dracoica , from whence the House of Drakul obtained its name , meaning ’ Satan ’ or ’ Dragon ’ whilst Drakulea Dracula means ’ son of Satan ’ or ’ son of the Dragon ’ . Lying at a close second place comes the Stregoi female Stregoica , a being that manifests itself as either a wolf or a raven . We can see where this is leading , ca n ’ t we ? The Stregoi or Stregoica represents both the Morrighan Morgana , the Valkyrie and the Werewolf or Verewolf , which is simply another manifestation of the vampire . Typically and especially where wolves were in short supply , the werewolf was represented variously by the Bear and the Fox ; and elsewhere by the crocodile ( the Sobekh of Egypt - patron and protector of Royalty - whose fat was used as the Messach or anointing oil of the pharoahs , the Messiahs priest kings In this neck of the woods it was also common to replace the werewolf with the Panther who was sacred to the lunar goddess Diana and also to Bacchus . Panther was the clan name of Jesus , and much earlier , the Ubaid priests wore the skins of Panthers as their totem animal . The Panther ’ s feeding ritual involves it opening the jugular vein in its victims neck and drinking the blood prior to eating the carcass . The association between werewolves and the moonlight which drove them loopy , according to fable , is repeated and reinforced by the traditional belief that witches vampires ) were sacred to Diana and worshipped her by the light of the full moon . The link between the full moon and the vampire of the Gothic Romance is also well represented in tradition . ( aka The reason that moonlight drove werewolves round the twist and elicited devotion from witches was because the full moon was seen as the menstrual moon that signaled the impending flow and was worshipped particularly by the of Italy and the surrounding area . These ladies were called Strega , that is the Italian name for a witch and rather than worshipping the full moon they were celebrating what the moon and stood for - food for the soul - the blood of virgins ! Give it a chance - it is n ’ t as gory or unsavory as it sounds . This was the secret foundation for the High Romance and Courtly Love that initiated the exoteric Medieval Romantic Movement itself , so do n ’ t get judgmental or picky . If you are health conscious and take supplements like HRT you might as well know that it comes in many cases either from the urine of Mares or French Nuns - yes the author did say : Nuns . It ’ s official . So do n ’ t start turning your nose up at a bit of harmless but nevertheless profitable genital snogging . Its a lot more As Melatonin was the primary hormone extracted in the blood rites of Diana it ’ s your choice : would you have preferred the blood of beautiful virgins , romantically celebrating and giving joyously of their feminine power and status by moonlight then , or the urine of papists - in a pill - now ? One type of melatonin is live whilst the other is stone dead and useless - guess which is which . And Melatonin is only the beginning of the story . In addition to the Dragon Court ’ s research into DNA , over two years ago the author who , many years ago , was the first to pinpoint the potential chemicals indictated in the precise hormonal makeup of the Holy Grail Grant ’ s Starfire phenomena ( which information he subsequently passed , in part , on to Laurence Gardner ) , also commissioned the assay of various organic fluids in order to discover and prove the presence of a range of these vital psychotropic and restorative chemicals discharged by the human female system . These included oxytocin prolactin melatonin seratonin adenosyne triphosphate dopamine telomerase retinol . The results of these assays should be known soon . Richard Dufton had also been working independently on identifying the same chemical presences for some years and when he and the author met in 1995 they began to work closely on the Melatonin basis for the Holy Grail . Out of this joint research the author discovered the wider implications of the discovery and restructured the Kabalistic and Tantric systems with precise chemical indices for each sephiroth chakra The association between Scythian Totem beasts , Romanian animal vampire types and Mithraic grades of Initiation indicates clearly that vampirism , far from being random or opportunist , was in fact part of an ancient system of elven rites manifest in Tantra , Mithraism and Druidism . Having said that the symbol of the panther and the werewolf were apposite , as the Scythian warrior nobility were a tad bloody - minded at times and Roman reports from the early part of the first millennium state how the Pictish Danaan had been witnessed eating the flesh and drinking the blood of their defeated foes following victories in battle . Undoubtedly this was a corruption of earlier ritual practice as we shall see later . Certainly going out and ’ eating Italian ’ had a unique and disturbing meaning for the Roman soldiery of the day , as the Ninth Legion in Albany discovered to their cost . Drinking the blood of friend or foe in battle was a common practice in Eire Scotland , the former in remembrance of fallen comrades , the latter to obtain the strength of the enemy . Contrary to Royal Vampirism , the whole point of Martial Vampirism was to clog your arteries with someone else ' s adrenaline Another ritual familiar to those who have read Stoker ’ s Dracula was the hauling of soil from the Scythian homelands in boxes . The Scythians initiated this practice with the idea that the earth was the source of sovereignty and power and that ones soul was linked to ones homeland . This is n ’ t entirely daft because we are what we eat , and what we eat affects the ’ soul ’ ( biochemically derived and mediated collection of responses and attachments called ’ ME ’ , the ego , personality or whatever , dependant for its existence on the continuity of the mind - brain interface ) through the body , both body and soul being inextricably linked as they are . What we eat comes from the land where we are born and so the soil of ones country and its inherent sovereignty and identity literally flow Up until the last century , the displaced Scots who traveled to America would slip a little soil from their former Crofts into the soles of their boots in order that , wherever they went they would always be walking on the earth of their homeland . Scythian Overlords brought the dragon culture with them as they traversed the many regions of Europe and finally settled in the British Isles . All their kings , indeed all of the royal caste were dragons , particularly the druids and their high kings were called Pendragons or chief dragons and were picked by their druidic peers from druidic families . Variant spellings for the name Druid include ’ Draoi ’ - thought to mean - which is close in spelling to the Romanian ’ Dracoi ’ and ’ Dracoica ’ which , if related to ’ Drys ’ , associated with wood nymphs or tree spirits , suggests that the ’ Drys ’ or ’ Dryads ’ were the female druids who were symbolized by the apple tree of Lilith whilst the ’ Draoi ’ or ’ Dracoi ’ - the highest degree of the male druids - were represented by the serpent entwined in the branches of those apple trees . Priestess Queens Priest Kings , as we have seen , dwelt in the holy places , the royal Raths that served as both temple and tomb . These subterranean palaces mimicked the the Bergs or mound houses of the ’ ’ proto ’ - Sumerian ancestors , who originated in Carpathia Similarly the Mithraic underground temples resembled places like Newgrange , in that they had an aperture above the doorway that allowed a shaft of sunlight into the building . This ray would hit the back wall of the temple where , in the case of Mithraic rituals , there were placed figurines , the sequential illumination of each in its turn , as the day progressed onwards , would tell an initiatory story , bathed in the dying light of the midwinter sun . Beneath the doorways of various of these buildings have been discovered the remains of headless corpses whose skulls would have been secreted within these Sidhe Mounds . Their functions were to serve as Guardians of the Portals , spirit defenders of the power and sanctity of these shrines - the dwellings of the Dragons - the Goddess - Queens and God - Kings incarnate . The cult of the severed head , as part of Celtic religious practice originated with the druids and therefore the . Examples of the head as the seat of the soul and the source of mystical wisdom , a bestower of gifts or cornucopia finds expression both in the legend of the head of Bran the Blessed or Bendigaid Fran , Archdruid of Britian , retold in the Mabinogion ; and the Trial papers of the Templars , who owned a head which was said to speak words of transcendent wisdom . This head , along with that of Bran , have both been cited as being aspects of the Grail with whom both Bran and the Templars were connected . Knights Templars restructured by Baldwin of Bourcq in 1118 appended to their name " and of the Temple of Solomon " whilst the original Order of Templars , a Vere foundation which emerged in 1100 were called " Guardian Princes of the Royal Secret " . However the original Temple Guard was founded 1500 years earlier in Jerusalem . A close examination of the ’ Song of Songs ’ attributed to Solomon will reveal to the reader certain esoteric references to the Grail . It has been further revealed that Solomon ’ s bloodline had Scythian Dragon origins and therefore connections with the Cult of the Head . That a head , said to be that of the Magdalene , successor to Sheba , to turn up in the inventory attached to the Templar trial papers should therefore come as no surprise . believed that the head contained the immortal soul . Descartes , writing in the 1600 ’ s , was of the same opinion and elaborated by asserting that the seat of the soul was the pineal gland . Others , writing later , have suggested that this organ is the mediator of inspiration and the translator of intuitive or cosmic information . In Indian Tantric Yoga the Pineal is the physical seat or anchor of the Ajna Chakra which also corresponds to the Pituitary as well . In this philosophy the Pineal is symbolized as being the head of the swan , whose body comprises the various areas of the rest of the brain . As we have seen , the dove and the Raven also fulfill this symbolic function . Pineal Gland is specifically associated with Grail Lore and closely aspected to manifestations of the Grail in the forms of a Cup , a Stone Cauldron , a Well Mere lake ; a fountain , ( such as that found in certain kabalistic rituals ) and an underground stream . Within the theme of the severed head we also find the dressed head of Llewelyn King of Gwynedd , which was severed from his body and garlanded with Ivy ( sacred to Bacchus ) before being dispatched to Edward I following the victory of his armies over the Welsh in the 1200 ’ s . Some two hundred years later , on his death in 1477 , Prince Vlad Draculea ’ s body was taken to an Abbey he had built on an Island in the middle of a lake in Smyrna . Such a sanctuary has distinct Arthurian overtones and associations with the Isle of Avallon , upon which there was also built an abbey of the quasi - druidic Celto - Scythian Church . This replaced the early Rath temple , grove and sanctuary of the Morganas , the ladies of the lake who were the Swan Maiden - Valkyries of the Scythian world , vampires and head hunters . In such sanctuaries headless corpses , as we have seen , were placed as portal guardians and it is in just such a condition that we discover that , according to local tradition , Draculea ’ s head was removed from his body and his corpse was buried beneath the stone flags beneath the doorway of the Abbey ’ s chapel . A similar incident is reported to have occurred with the establishment of the Celtic Christian Shrine on the Island of Iona . Here it is St Columba who is said to have severed the head of one of his disciples and buried the blood drained corpse beneath the doorway of the chapel . The blood of the victim was then consumed as a eucharist in thanksgiving for the monks ’ safe arrival to the island . Here we can see that early Christianity was indeed tied up with the cult of the head , as was the collateral Johannite Cult of the Baptist , who himself was a sacrificial king of Dragon descent Draculea ’ s name means son of the Dragon as we have seen , and his burial replicates the Scythian burials in the Holy - Royal Sidhe or power mounds found in Eire Scotland . In Draculea ’ s case there are a number of symbols associated with him that connect him directly with the Scythian druidic tradition . Furthermore these symbols , some of which we can also find , surprisingly enough , in Stoker ’ s novel , lead to the conclusion that knew a great deal about his subject . Much of the information in ’ Dracula ’ the novel , is of an esoteric and highly specialized psycho - biological nature , which does not detract from or conflict with , but rather elucidates upon , the character of the of history . Bram Stoker was a close friend and associate of the Welsh magician and writer Arthur Machen who wrote numerous works , including a paper on the alchemical significance of the dragon and a novel on the Twllyth Teg - the fairies of Wales . It is a common device to convey esoteric knowledge via the medium of supposed fiction and it appears that both Machen involved themselves in such ventures . was also acquainted with Aleister Crowley MacGregor Mathers , both of whom were leading lights in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn . Machen Wilde were members of this organization which , it is said , had its roots in the ancient Rosicruciana Anglicae . Oscar Wilde was one of only four people associated with The Golden Dawn and the later breakaway group : the Ordo Templi Orientis headed by Crowley , who himself undertook to perform the rituals leading to the accomplishment of a variant of the ancient " Mass of the Vampire " . The amazing Jack Parsons OTO . , attempted it in the 1940 ’ s and joined Wilde in succumbing to the ruin and degradation that accompanies it . Jack died in an inexplicable explosion in the garage of his home in California . Whilst Crowley accomplished the rite and walked away virtually unscathed , eventually dying of old age in Hastings , ’ s fate is known to all . Having said that ’ Death in Hastings ’ has none of the romantic je ne sais quoi of say , ’ Death in Venice ’ , or even Paris . Perhaps , vilified as he was , had the better of it after all , at least in terms of style ! It has been suggested that was either a member of the OTO or the Golden Dawn and it would appear that the cohesion and integrity of the symbolism in his ’ Dracula ’ must therefore point to having a source of esoteric information far more informed in historical and alchemical terms than any that he might have obtained , as it has been suggested , purely from the folklore of Romanian peasants or from contemporary literary sources . Historical accounts of Prince Draculea ’ s life confirm that he was born in and became Prince of Wallachia , not Transylvania . In linking with suggests to the reader that the origin of the vampire tradition was indeed linked to the Ubaid Homeland however , Recent research has uncovered the fact that did indeed , like his Scythian Warrior ancestors , drink the blood of his impaled and decapitated victims . Decapitation is distinctly a Scythian practice and although it has been suggested that learnt the custom of impaling from his Turkish captors , this practice had been used as a punishment by the Aryans of Persia as early as 500 BC . Although has Dracula impaled and decapitated at his castle when in fact was beheaded at the Abbey where he was buried , is rightly attempting to associate Dracula , via these rituals , with an entire vampiric cultural tradition of which his character was destined to become the definitive archetype . This is no bad thing because the picture of Dracula and his accoutrements and behavior is not far from the actual truth of the matter . The finer details of the novel confirm that was probably being prompted by others in the writing of this work , which contains secret information that is still generally unknown outside certain circles . It was generally thought that the only way to kill a vampire was to impale the body through the heart , in order to pin the wandering body to the earth , remove the head and cremate the remains . At that time cremation was forbidden in Christian Europe because it was believed that the bodily remains should be left intact to rise again on the Day of Judgment . Obviously the Church thought that reconstituting the fetid and rotting remains of sinners on the Last Day would be a doddle for God , whereas he would be powerless to reconstruct the former human being from a handful of dust . Typically stunning christian logic in action here . Cremation was practiced by Hindus , a race of people originally extracted from the Aryan Horse Lords . Considering this as a funerary practice in relation to decapitation and impaling , which was reserved as a royal punishment in Persia , perhaps the peasant memory , prompted by the church , recalled the link between royalty and these rituals and thence assumed that the only way to kill a who was , after all exclusively a member of the Fairy or Royal Race , was to put the body through a series of ritual processes , some of which had been variously , components of royal sacrificial or funerary practice . Royal decapitation we can see in the stories of Bran and Llewelyn , and although Celts buried their common dead , we might suggest , given the earliest evidence from Tartaria and other later sites , that Royal Scythians , like their Viking Hindu cousins , cremated the sometimes decapitated remains of their sacred dead , depending on the requirements of specific ritual necessity . Perhaps to the peasantry , impaling was seen as poetic justice in dispatching one assumed to be of a race for whom impaling was a common punishment . We have seen that impaling was thought to nail the body of the vampire to the earth and perhaps where the body was n ’ t burnt , impaling was considered sufficient to keep in its grave , the body of one belonging to a race that the crows in cassocks said was so terrifying and seemingly so indestructible . It will be remembered though that many of the stories concerning were contrived by the church to encourage the flock to remain in fear for its life and thus faithful to its only means of protection and salvation , the fat scheming pervert in the black frock . It was immaterial to them that vampirism was rarely committed against outsiders except when they were opponents in war . Nevertheless the scare went on longer than the craze and was just as effective in keeping the poor peasant in bondage to the evil doctrines of a lying church . As a custom , impaling would have been as common in Galatia , later Turkey , where the Cult of the Head thrived in Roman times ; as it was in Persia where it was reserved for one royal in particular - Bress - who betrayed his brother Darius following the successful invasion by Alexander Essentially ’ s Dracula is as much a part of the Grail Cycle as the Druidic stories of King Arthur and of Eschenbach ’ s ’ Parzifal ’ . In these stories as in most Druidic teaching fables , the Bards delighted in presenting material that could be read on several different but related levels which often have hermetic , macro and microcosmic components . In particular where is concerned , an extract from ’ s ’ Song of Songs ’ features in a couple of obscure lines in his Dracula and these directly refer to the central alchemical theme of the Grail Cycle and put the seal on the book as being an esoteric work , rather than just simply a Gothic novel . Historically himself attended the ’ Solomon School ’ in Hermannstadt , an alchemical , hermetic college that taught magic to the sons of Royalty . Two other schools like this existed in Europe , one was in Toledo in Spain and the other was said to be in . At the ’ Solomon ’ only one person per class ever graduated , or ’ rode the Dragon ’ as it was termed . Fanciful christian theory says that the rest of the students ended up with Satan in Hell ! Reminiscent of a Druidic Bangor ’ or university , the ’ Solomon School ’ finished Vlad ’ s education and fitted him to become a Dacian counterpart of the British Pendragon , with all the brutal wisdom of his fairy ancestors and predecessors who , as God - Kings of the specifically intermediary , guardian - class of Anunnaki deities , were inhumed in the same manner that Dracula himself was laid to rest . the prince of Wallachia was little different in actuality from the Dracula character of ’ s novel . This Sacred Prince , a Hermetic scholar and initiate , a student of magic , Magus , Witch Lord and Dragon Prince , counterbalanced the bloodlust of his forebears with a refined knowledge and advanced practice of Grail procedure which , shining forth radiantly from the pages of ’ s little masterpiece , echoed the teachings that the historical would have received at the ’ Solomon School ’ : teachings and encountered in the Dragon Court of which he was a member , teachings which were held in common by Archdruids , Alchemists , Tantric Yogis , Hermeticists and Qabalists alike , each discipline originating from one ancient Fairy Tradition in - the heartlands of the Dragon Kings and Queens of the Sacred Danaan Peoples ’ s day christian kings sent their sons to christian universities but still , true kingship , the Sobekh Messiah kingship , symbolized since antiquity by the Sacred Crocodile , required that the true kings ’ sons learnt priest - kingship and in ’ s case , this education was still clearly of a Druidic nature , even as late as the 15th century . In the Celtic British Isles after the Romans decamped , Princes were required to become priests and as late as 660 AD we can find references concerning the education of the Merovingian Prince Dagobert at Slane University in Ireland where , up until the year 664 AD , Celtic Christianity still held sway . In those days and as late as 751 A.D . Kings still came exclusively from the King Tribe who supplied much of the Celtic world , as well as Eurasia , with Draconian offspring to serve as Royal Priests . This King Tribe , the Arya or Sidhe - the - included the Merovingian dynasty who , although it was an amalgam of Jesus ’ Egyptian and Aryan blood , it was also closely related to the Irish and Scots Royal Danaan and the Druidic castes integral to these Houses still educated this dynastic progeny up until the Carolingian usurpation and the ascendance of the Church of Rome in 664 AD . Gradually at first the Roman church replaced the true royal , elven blood with its own bloodless puppets and made christian education the norm for the sons of the new christian kings and nobles whom the church had created . The Solomons of Hermannstadt , Toledo and Transylvania became the hidden leftovers of an ancient , originally druidic educational system which necessarily went underground and became the subject of myth and fairytale , along with the bloodlines it once educated openly . Dragon Colleges produced the ’ Uber ’ , the Overlords who , in Britain were called the Pendragons and in the ’ Dracoi ’ or ’ Dracoica ’ - the ’ ’ . Only the highest graduates of the Druidic bangors would be thought of as true men or women of power , true Sidhe Fairy Royalty and thus it was only the prince who ’ rode the Dragon ’ who could be said to fit the same criteria for inclusion in the bloodline of the fairy families - The Dragon Kings The Scythians Encyclopedia Britannica http : / / www . xenophon - mil . org / crimea / cities / scythia / scythenc . htm 11th edition , vol 24 , pp . 526 - 529 Ellis Hovell Minns Scythia ( Gr , xx ) , originally ( e.g. in Herodotus iv , 1 . 142 ) , the country of the Scythae or the country over which the nomad Scythae were lords , that is , the steppe from the Carpathians to the Don . With the disappearance of the Scythae as an ethnic and political entity , the name of Scythia gives place in its original seat to that of Sarmatia , and is artificially applied by geographers , on the one hand , to the Dobrudzha , the lesser Scythia of Strabo , Herodotus ( I.c. ) , to whom with Hippocrates ( De aere , % c . 24 , sqq ) we own our earliest knowledge ( Homer , Il . Xiii , 5 , speaks of " mare - milkers , " and Hesiod , ap . Strabo vii . 3 ( 7 ) mentions Scythae ) of the land and its inhabitants , tries to restrict this merely geographical usage and to confine the word Scyth to a certain race or at any rate to that race and its subjects , but even he seems to slip back into His account of the geography falls into two irreconcilable parts ; one ( iv . 99 sqq ) , in connexion with the tale of the invasion of Darius , makes of Scythia a kind of chessboard 4000 stades square on which the combatants can make their moves quite unhindered by the great rivers : the other ( 16 - 20 ) , founded on what he learned from Greeks of Olbia and supplemented by the tales of the 7th century traveler Aristeas of Proconnesus , is not very far removed from first - hand information and can be made These tribes raised wheat , presumably in the river valleys , and sold it for export ; in the eastern half from west to east were Georgi ( perhaps the same as Aroteres ) between the Ingul and the Borysthenes ( Dnieper ) , nomad Scyths and Royal Scyths between the Borysthenes and the Tanais ( don ) . Above all these stretched a row of non - Scythian tribes from west to east : on the Maris ( Maros ) in Transylvania the Agathyrsi ; Neuri in Podolia and Kiev , Androphagi and Melanchlaeni in Poltava , ( Ryazan From this region started an important trade route eastward by the Thyssagetae among the southern Urals , the Iyrcae on the Tobol and Irtysh and the Kirghiz steppe , where dwelt other Scyths , regarded as colonists of those in Europe : then by the Argippaei in the Altai and the Issedones in the Tarym basis , to the one - eyed Arimaspi on the borders of China , who stole their gold from the watchful griffins , and who marched with goat - footed men and Hyperboreans reaching to the sea . To the south of Scythia the Crimean Ethnology : - Herodotus expressly divides the Scythians into the Agriculturists , Callipidae , Alazones , Aroteres and Georgi in the western part of the country , and the Nomads with their Royal Scyths to the east . The latter claimed dominion over all the rest . The question arises whether we have to do with the various tribes of one race in different stages of civilization , or with a mixed population called by foreigners after the ruling tribe . The latter seems by far the more probable . The affinities of this tribe have been sought in various directions Pliny speaks of their descent from the Medes . Now the Sauromatae are represented as half - caste Scyths speaking a corrupt variety of Scythian . Presumably , therefore , the Scyths also spoke an Iranian dialect . But of the Scythic words preserved by Herodotus some are Iranian , others , especially the names of deities , have found no satisfactory explanation in any Indo - European language . Indeed they rather suggest a Ugrian origin . Nevertheless , the general opinion has been that the Scyths were Iranian . The present writer believes that they were a horde The settled Scythians would be the remains of this Iranian population , or the different tribes of them , may have been connected with their neighbors beyond Scythian dominion - Thracian Getae and Arimaspi , Slavonic Neuri , Finnish Androphagi and such like . The Cimmerians who preceded the Scythians used Iranian proper names , and probably represented this Iranian element in greater purity . Herodotus gives three legends of the origin of the Scyths ( iv . 5 - 12 ) ; these , though they contradict each other , can be reconciled with the view stated above . The tribe is autochthonous , claiming descent from a son of the river Borysthenes Targitaos , who lived a thousand years before . Of his three sons the youngest Colaxais , is preferred by an ordeal of picking up certain objects which fell from heaven , - a plough , a yoke , an axe , and a cup , - and becomes the ancestor of the ruling clan of Paralatae ; from the other sons , Lipoxais and Harpoxais , are descended minor clans , and the name of the whole people is Scolotai , not Scythae , which The third account fails chiefly in being too plausible , but there seems no reason to reject it as an artificial combination of unconnected facts . According to it the Scyths dwell in Asia , and were forced by the Massagetae over the Araxer ( Volga ? ) Into the land of the Cimmerians . Aristeas says that the first impulse came from the Arimaspi , who displaced the Pasodones , who in turn fell upon the Scyths . This comes to much the same thing , as the Massagetae seem to have contained an element which had come in They were followed by the Scyths ( Ashguzai , Heb . Ashkenax ) whom the Assyrians welcomed as allies and used against the Cimmerians , against the Medes and even against Egypt . Hence the references to the Scyths in the Hebrew prophet ( Jer . Iv . 3 , vi . 7 ) . This is all put in the latter half of the 7th century B . C . Herodotus says that the Scyths ruled Media for twenty - eight years , and were then massacred or expelled . The Assyrian evidence is in the main a confirmation The physical features of the Scyths are not described by Herodotus , but Hippocrates ( l.c. ) Draws a picture of them wich makes them very similar to the Mongols as they appeared to the Franciscan missionaries in the 13th century . He says they are quite unlike any other race of men , and very like each other . The main point seems to be a tendency to slackness , fatness and excess of humours . The men are said to be in appearance very like eunuchs , and both sexes have a tendency to sexual indifference amounting in Herodotus mentions the existence of this class , called Enarees , and says that they suffer from a sacred disease owing to the wrath of the goddess of Ascalon whose shrine they had plundered . Reinegg describes a similar state of things in the Nogai in the 18th century . The whole account suggests a Tatar clan in the last stage of degeneracy . Hippocrates says that this only applies to the ruling class , not to the slaves , but gives as the reason the want of exercise among the former . The skulls dug up in Scythic graves Customs . - Herodotus gives a good survey of the customs of the Scyths : it seems mostly to apply to the ruling race . Again the closest analogy is the state of the Mongols in the 13th century , but too much weight must not be put on this , as the natural conditions of steppe - ranging nomads dictated the greater part of them . Still the correspondence of religion and of funeral rites is very close . The Scyths lived upon the produce of their herds of cattle and horses , their main food being the flesh of the The men journeyed on horseback , the women in wagons with felt tilts . These were drawn by their cattle , and were the homes of each family . Hence the Greek names , Abii , Hippemolgi , Hamaxobii . The women were kept in subjection , and were far from enjoying the liberty granted them among the Sauromatae , among whom they rode on horseback and engaged in war . Polygamy was practices , the son inheriting his father ' s wives . Both men and women avoided washing , but there was something of the nature of a The women had flowing robes , tall pointed caps , and veils descending over most of the figure . Both sexes wore many stamped gold plates sewn upon their clothes in lines or seams . Their horses had severe bits , and were adorned with nose pieces , cheek pieces and saddle cloths . True stirrups were unknown . In war the nation was divided into three sub - kingdoms , and these into companies , each with its commander . The companies had yearly feasts , at which the commander honoured warriors who had slain one or more of The warrior was accustomed to scalp his enemy and adorn his bridle with the trophy . I n the case of a special enemy or an adversary overcome in a private dispute before the king , he would make a cup of the skull , mounting it in bull ' s hide or in gold . The tactics in war were the traditional nomad tactics of harassing the enemy on the march , constantly retreating before him and avoiding a general engagement . Their weapons consisted of bow and arrows , short swords , spears and axes . The government Religion - The religion of the Scyths was nature worship . Herodotus ( iv . 59 ) gives a list of their gods , with the Greek deities corresponding , but we can not tell what aspect of the Greek deity is in question . He says they chiefly reverence Tabiti ( Hestia ) , next Papaeus and his wife Apia ( Zeus and Ge ) , then Oitosyros ( Apollo ) and Argimpasa ( Aphrodite Urania ) . These are common to all the Scythians , but Thamimasadas ( Poseidon ) is peculiar to the Royal Scyths . They set The Scythian pantheon is not distinctive , and can be paralleled among the Tartars and among the Iranians . The Scyths had a method of divination with sticks , and the Enarees , who claimed to be soothsayers by grant of the goddess who had afflicted them , used another method by splitting bast fibers . They intervened in case of the king ' s falling sick , when it was assumed that some man had sworn by the king ' s hearth and broken his oath . If a man accused of this denies it , other diviners are The tombs of the kings were in the land of the Gerrhus near the great bend of the Dnieper where the chief tumuli have been excavated . The body was embalmed and filled with aromatic herbs , and then brought to this region , passing through the lands of various tribes . The Royal Scyths who followed the body were accustomed to cut about their faces and arms , and each tribe that the cortege met upon its way had to join it and conform ti this expression of grief . Arrived at the place of burial , the body Tombs . - The description is generally born out by the evidence of the tombs opened in the Scythic area . None agrees in every point , but almost every detail finds a close parallel in some tomb or other . The chief divergence is in the presence of silver and copper objects , but the great quantity of gold is the most striking fact , and to say that there was nothing but gold seems merely an exaggeration . Tombs to which the name Scythic is generally applied form a well - defined class . They are preceded over the whole area by a much simpler form of burial marked by the practice of staining the bones with red ochre , and the presence of one or two rude pots and nothing more ; yet that some were tombs of great chiefs is shown by the great size of the barrows heaped over them . They have been referred to the Cimmerians , but for this there is no clear evidence . The Scythic tombs can be roughly dated by the objects of Greek art that they contain . They seem to begin about the The finest of the class were opened about the bend of the Dnieper , where we should put land Gerrhus . Others are found to the south - west of the central area , and in the governments of Kiev and Poltava we have many tombs with Scythic characteristics , but a difference ( e.g. the fewness of the horses ) which makes us think of the settled tribes under Scythic domination . Others occur in the flat northern half of the Crimea , and even close to Kerch , where the famous Kul Oba seems to have held a Unfortunately very few of these barrows have come down to us un - plundered , and we can not find one complete example and take it as a type . Soon after they were heaped up , before the beams supporting the central chamber had rotted , thieves made a practice of driving a mine into the mound straight to where the valuables were deposited , and it is only by the collapse of this mine and the crushing of the robber after he had thrown everything into confusion that the treasures of the Chertomlyk barrow , on the whole The north - west chamber communicated with a large irregular chamber into which the plunderer ' s mine opened . In the central pit all was in confusion , but here the king seems to have lain on a bier . His belongings , found piled up near the mine . Seem to have included a combined bow - case and quiver and a sword sheath , each covered with plates of gold of Greek work , there swords with gold hafts , a hone with gold mounting , a whip , many other gold plates and a heap of By every skeleton were drinking vessels . Store of wine was contained in six amphorae , and in two bronze cauldrons were mutton - bones . The most wonderful object of all was a great two - handled vase standing 3 ft . High and made to hold kumiss . The greater part of its body is covered by a pattern of acanthus leaves , but on the shoulder is a frieze showing nomads breaking in wold mares , our chief authority for Scythian costume . To the west of the main shaft were three square pits with horses and At Alexandropol in the same district was an even more elaborate tomb . But its contents were in even greater confusion . Another tomb in this region , Melgunov ' s barrow , found as long ago as 1760 , contained a dagger - sheath and pollen of Assyrian work and Greek things of the 6th century . In the Kul Oba tomb mentioned above the chamber was of stone and the contents , with one or two exceptions , of purely Greek workmanship , but the ideas underlying are the same - the king has his wife , his East of the Maeotis on the Kuban we have many barrows ; the most interesting are the groups called the Seven Brothers , and those of Karagodeuashkh , Kostromskaya , Ul and Kelermes , the latter remarkable for objects of Assyrian style , the others for the enormous slaughter of horses ; on the Ul were four hundred in one grave . Art . - Certain of the objects which occur in these Scythic graves are of special forms typical for the Scythic area . Most interesting of these is the dagger or sword , always very short , save in the latest graves , and distinguished by a heart - shaped guard marking the juncture of hilt and blade ; its sheath is also characteristic , having a triangular projection on one side and usually a separate shape : these peculiar forms were necessitated by a special way of hanging the dagger from two straps that might not interfere with a rider Assyrian and afterwards Greek craftsmen working for Scythic employers were compelled to decorate these outlandish forms , which they did according to their own fashion : but there was also a native style with conventionalized beast decoration , which was almost always employed for the adornment of bits and horses ' gear , and very often for weapons . This style and the types of dagger , cauldron , bit and two - looped socketed axehead run right across from Hungary to the upper Yenisei , where a special Bronze Age culture seems to have developed them . But even The dominance from the Yenisei to the Carpathians of a distinct style of art which , whatever its original elements may have been , seems to have taken shape as far east as the Yenisei basin is an additional argument in favour of a certain movement of population from the far north - east towards the south Russian steppes . It would correspond in time with the movement of the Scyths of which Herodotus speaks , and it may be inferred that immigrants coming from those regions were rather allied to the Tatar family of nations than to the Iranian History . - To sum up the history of Scythia , the oldest inhabitants of whom we hear in Scythia were the Cimmerii ; the nature of the country makes it probable that some of them were nomads , while others no doubt tilled some land in the river valleys and in the Crimea , where they left their name to ferries , earthworks and the Cimmerian Bosporus . They were probably of Iranian race ; among the Persians Herodotus describes a similar mixture of nomadic and settled tribes . In the 7th century B . C . these Cimmerians were attacked and partly driven out by a horde of newcomers from upper Asia called Scythae ; these imposed their name and their yoke upon all that were left in the Euxine steppes , but probably their coming did not really change the basis of the population , which remained Iranian . The newcomers adopted the language of the conquered , but brought with them new customs and a new artistic taste probably largely borrowed from the metal - working tribes of Siberia . About the same time similar peoples About 512 B . C . Darius , having conquered Thrace , made an invasion of Scythia , which , according to the account of Herodotus , he crossed as far as the Oarus , a river identified with the Volga , burned the town of Gelonus and returned in sixty days . In this march he was much harassed by the nomads , with whom he could not come to close quarters , but no mention is made of his having any difficulty with the rivers ( he gets his water from wells ) , and no reason for After losing many men the Great King comes back to the place where he crossed the Danube , finds the Ionians still guarding the bridge in spite of the attempts of the Scyths to make them desert , and safely re - enters his own dominions . Ctesias says that the whole campaign only took fifteen days and that Darius did not get beyond the Tyras ( Dniester ) . This is also the view of the reasonable Strabo ; but it does not account for the genesis of the other story . It seems best to believe that Darius We can make a list of the Scythian kings - Spargapeithes , Lycus , Gnurus , Saulius ( whose brother , the famous Anacharsis ( q.v. ) , traveled overall the world in search of wisdom , was reckoned a sage among the Greeks and was slain among his own people because they did not like his foreign ways ) . And Idanthyrsus , the lead king at the time of Darius , probably the father of Ariapeithes . This latter had three wives , a Greek woman from Istrus , Opoea a Scythian , and a Thracian daughter to Octamasadas did shortly before the time of Herodotus . We can not place Ariantas , who made a kind of census of the nation by exacting an arrow - head from each warrior and cast a great cauldron out of the bronze , nor Taxacis and Scopasis , the under - kings in the time of Idanthyrsus . After the retreat of Darius the Scythians made a raid as far as Abydos , and even sent envoys to King Cleomenes III of Sparta to arrange that they should attack the Persian Empire from the Phasis while the Spartans should march Here Philip II , of Macedon defeated and slew their king Ateas in 339 B . C . , and from this time on the representatives of the old Scythic power are petty chieftains in the western part of the country about Olbia , where they could still be dangerous , and about Tomi . Towards the second half of the 2nd century B . C . this kingdom seems to have become the nucleus of a great state under Scilurus , whose name appears on coins of Lobia , and who at the same time threatened Chersonese in the Henceforward the name " Scythian " is purely geographical . Meanwhile Scythia had become the land of the Sarmatae ( q.v. ) . These , as has been seen , spoke a cognate dialect , and the tombs which belong to their period show exactly the same culture with Greek and Siberian elements . It is probable that the Iranian element was stronger among the Sarmatae , whose power extended as the ruling clan of the Scyths became extinct ; but it is quite likely that they in their turn were officered by some new horde from upper Asia .

The Akhal - Teke is a desert breed of horse that is thought to have descended from an ancient Scythian type . It is thought that four principal types of ancient horse served as the progenitors for all of today ' s modern breeds , with a fifth type being represented by Przywalski ' s horse . The Akhal - Teke ' s heritage is thought to be from the fourth , almost gazelle like and light bodied horse of the arid deserts of Central Asia . http : / / www . mhref . com / breeds / akhal The grasses of this region were sparse , although nutritious and along with the extreme heat , a light bodied yet wiry horse had a better chance for survival than slower thicker horse types . The landscape was treeless and open , so a swift horse with stamina , capable of outrunning predators had again the best chance for survival . These desert types were built for speed , they had a " hot " temperament and very quick reactions , and a long body ensured plenty of room for long periods of deep athletic breathing . These adaptations to the environment served the ancient peoples of the area very well . The Akhal - Teke horses were originally bred as war and raiding , or " Alaman " ( translates to raiding ) horses which was also naturally suited as a race horse . Its lineage and breeding was kept pure through an oral tradition of maintaining bloodlines and due to the relative isolation of the Teke tribes . " Akhal " translates to " pure " . The horse was so named to identify with the Teke tribe , " Pure Teke " . Akhal The Scythians were renowned as warriors and as early as 700 BC , had huge cavalries . Their horses were known under a variety of names , Turanian , Bactrian , Median and Parthian horses . They eventually came to be known as Turkmene horses after the tribes who kept them . An ancient royal Scythian frozen gravesite was found to contain slaves , pack animals and supplies for the king to take with him in the afterworld , much like the Egyptian tombs . It is estimated that this site dates back to 500 B.C. and because it was The Tekes were a nomadic people descended from the ancient Scythians who regularly traveled between summer and winter ranges . The region is frequently subject to drought however , so in order to survive , people traveled from place to place to find arable land . This frequently displaced other tribes already settled the few irrigated areas . To provide for the shortfalls of an unreliable environment , the Tekes took to routinely invading neighboring tribes or countries to take what was of necessity and value then quickly leaving on their swift horses . Or they hired themselves as mercenaries The Teke tribes built on the natural proclivities of the ancient Scythian horse to breed horses of imposing height , incredible stamina and fiery temperament in order to withstand long distance raiding journeys . The pride the Tekes had in their horses became intertwined with their reliance upon them to support their way of life . The Teke people revered their prized horses and were highly devoted to them . Their horses were brought into the family tents , the horses were blanketed against the cold desert nights and winter winds . They were given the best foods that could be found , including grains , animal proteins and fat . Horses were valued as the single measure of true wealth . From as young as two , Teke children learn to ride and then care for the family ' s horse or if wealthy enough , more than one horse . When Russia took over Central Asian areas and prevented customary raiding , the Turkmene focused on racing their prized Akhal - Tekes . Today , racing Akhal - Tekes and maintenance of the breed itself is a principal source of national and cultural pride . Traditional and Common Uses Race horses and war horses as described above . Improvement of other lineages of horses for height , stamina , refinement and animation Currently , Akhal - Tekes are promoted in a number of equine sports to make the world aware of this ancient and unique breed including dressage , jumping , endurance , eventing and the Olympics . In 1960 , an Akhal - Teke purebred stallion , Absent , won the dressage gold medal and by the end of his career , had won 6 Olympic medals . Akhal - Teke crossbreds are competed as warmbloods in a number of sports . The desirable characteristics of the breed are many and therefore crossbreeding them was and is vigorously pursued . This came to such an extreme however that as recently as 1973 , there were only 18 purebred mares and 3 purebred stallions known to exist in Russia . Since that time , the Akhal - Teke has been bred for purity , while still contributing its outstanding qualities to cross - breeding efforts . Historical Anecdotes It has been accepted as a fact generally that the Arabian horse is the oldest of the purebred horse breeds . This may be a fact to many in the West , but to those of the upper Middle East and Central Asia , the Akhal - Teke is just as or an older purebred horse breed . As is described below , Akhal - Teke owners will state as a fact that these horses contributed to the development of today ' s Arabian breed among many others . " Blood Sweating " The fame of the Akhal - Teke in the ancient world spread very far , and they were highly desired by ancient Chinese emperors . One emperor in particular , Emperor Wu Ti of 141 B.C. single - mindedly pursued acquisition of the Parthian " blood sweating " horses , as the Akhal - Tekes were then known in the Chinese court . He was relentless . He sent an initial expedition including large amounts of gold to exchange for these horses . His offer was refused and the treasure was captured . Several years later , he sent another The reference to " blood sweating " horses has received some recent scientific study . Emperor Wu Ti believed the blood sweating horses to be touched with a divine grace and the blood sweating set them apart as a special breed touched by Heaven . They were worth it to him to expend an enormous fortune to obtain . Horses of the region today also " sweat blood " . It was thought for many years that this was due to their thin skin and when heavily exercised , that blood burst through their skins . It has been discovered however that the bleeding is due to a parasite that is picked up in drinking water . The rivers that are known to carry the parasite are the Gorgan and Fergana rivers . At a certain point in the lifecycle of the parasite , it breaks through the skin causing the bleeding . This bleeding is known to occur Outstanding Stamina and Endurance One of the most outstanding exhibitions of equine endurance ever recorded occurred in 1935 with the Akhal - Teke horse . The Turkmene people took a group of Akhal - Teke stallions over 2,500 miles from the capital of Turkmenistan , Ashkabahad to Moscow in 1935 in 84 days . 225 miles of the journey crossed the KaraKum desert , which was covered in 3 days with almost no water available . Temperatures of the desert can reach 149 ° Fahrenheit during the heat of the day . They rode from 4 : 00 in the morning to 9 : The Akhal - Teke Influence on Other Breeds Horses of Turkmene type were known to Alexander the Great . A great many horses from the Turkmenistan region were taken or imported by both Alexander and his father into ancient Greece . Some even suppose that Bucephalus was actually of Turkmene breeding rather than Thessalonian , however this is disputed . Draft Breeds Taller and faster than other breeds of horses of this time , Akhal - Tekes were valued by the Romans to develop large and strong war horses from the small yet stocky European breeds . And of course , these Roman war horses are supposed to have become the progenitors of many today ' s heavy draft horse breeds . Enthusiasts of Akhal - Tekes refer to ancient historical texts in which within 200 years A.D. , there is no mention of horses to be found as war booty of defeated Arab tribes . There is no mention of horses The Arabian Mohammad in 600 AD is generally credited with " starting " the Arabian purebred lines and his beliefs for the necessity of purity of the Arabian are mentioned in the Koran . Horses of Akhal - Teke type however pre - date Mohammad by many centuries . In fact , it is suggested that Akhal - Tekes played a role in developing the modern Arabian breed , particularly the Muniqui line of Arabians , known as the " racing type " of Arabian horse . Many people in fact assume that the finest Arabian horses were developed on the Saudi The Thoroughbred In addition to development of large draft breeds , Arabians and others , Akhal - Tekes perhaps have their strongest link and more recent influence over the development of today ' s Thoroughbred . Everyone knows that the three foundation stallions of the modern Thoroughbred to be the Godolphin Arabian , the Byerly Turk and the Darley Arabian with the Darley Arabian ' s lineage the most prevalent in today ' s horses . These have always been simply called " Arabian " horses . Turkmene imports were included automatically by Europeans as " Arabian " horses , and many TRAKEHNER BREED http : / / books . google . com / books ? id = CdJg3qXssWYC&pg = PA422&lpg = PA422&dq = scythian + horse + breeding&source = bl&ots = cjzcYX3M3_&sig = 5jW31EYyEF40Mk5Ti - KOsul_UIo&hl = en&ei = qjyBTYLJIYGasAO4yOyBAg&sa = X&oi = book_result&ct = result&resnum = 4&ved = 0CDIQ6AEwAw # v = onepage&q = scythian % 20horse % 20breeding&f = false The Scythians expanded into the West in several major waves ( see map 2 ) . The first , which Gimbutas describes as " proto - Scythian , " originated well east of the Urals . Known archaeologically as the Timber - Grave Culture , this wave began expanding westward as early as 1800 B.c.E. A second wave , this time of Scythian mounted nomads who buried their dead in timber - lined tumuli , swept across the more settled , agricultural communities of the north Pontic steppes and incorporated some of the indigenous cultivators , who became known as Although all of these subtribes seem to have shared a similar way of life , the westernmost group , which roamed the Pontic steppes in the fifth century B.C.E. ( ca . 450 B.C.E. ) , provided most of our nonarchaeological information about Scythian culture . According to Herodotus there were three major social strata ( or tribes ) : " Royal Scythians , " pastoral nomads who formed the ruling elite ; " Warrior Scythians , " also nomads , who maintained and extended the power of the former group ; and " Agricultural Scythians , " most likely The Scythian economy was a mixture of pastoralism and settled cultivation , although the former seems to have taken precedence , as it still does among the Kazakhs and other modern inhabitants of the eastern portion of this region . As among those Altaic peoples who came to the region in more recent " mes , the horse was the primary , or at least the most prestigious , animal herded . The Scythians were the first great cavalry nation . Unlike the ancient Celts , who still relied on horse - drawn chariots as late as the first century A millennium and a half later this warfare pattern , which was also characteristic of the Sarmatians and the Alans , was to have a fundamental impact on medieval European society ; as Nickel points out , it was the basis upon which the concept of chivalry developed . Unlike the Romans and , for the most part , the Celts , Arthur ' s people , as they are depicted in the medieval chivalric romances , seem to have preferred to fight from horseback and to have relied primarily upon a long slashing sword rather than upon a heavy thrusting spear and a javelin ( or pilum ) characteristic of the foot - slogging legionnaires . This , together with their relatively heavy body armor , which consisted of overlapping scales attached to a leather tunic , tallies well with what evidence we have of Sarmatian military technology As with the Alans draft animals and carts also played an important part in the Scythian economy , and we have evidence that while on the move they lived in wagons : indeed Herodotus said that they had no other homes . These carts were covered by felt tents that functioned like the yurts still to be found among the steppe nomads of central Asia . The role of women in Scythian society , and in Northeast Iranian society as a whole , also needs to be noted , as it not only differed markedly from that played by women in the Greco - Roman world but also has implications for the role of women in the Arthurian tradition . The Greek legends about the Amazons are almost certainly derived from their observations of this culture . Scythian wives were expected to fight alongside their husbands when the occasion demanded , and Herodotus went far as to assert that among their eastern cousins , the " According to Herodotus the Scythian religion centered on seven divinities , chief among them a goddess called Tabiti , whom he glosses as " Hestia . " Another was a war - god whom he refers to as the " Scythian Ares , " who was symbolized by a sword thrust into a pile of wood . Yet another major divinity seems to have been called Don Bettyr , who most likely was associated with the Don River ( known to the Greeks as the Tanais ) and who presided over plant and animal fertility . The way the Scythians conceived of their own origins also has important implications for our thesis . According to Herodotus the primeval being , whose name he transliterates as " Targitaos , " had three sons . When three burning golden objects fell from the sky — a cup , a battle - ax , and a yoked plow — each son in turn attempted to gather them . Only the youngest , whom Herodotus calls " Kolaxais , " was successful . From him were descended the " Royal Scythians " ( the Paralatai ) , who had sovereignty Golden objects figure prominently in Scythian expressive culture , that is , graphic art , particularly in the so - called " animal style " : highly realistic depictions of both wild and domestic animals on buckles , harnesses , brooches , and other objects ( see plate 2 ) . Often these pieces were made of the gold that is still to be found in the region , especially in the streams that issue from the northern foothills of the Caucasus Mountains . Although the Scythians dominated the steppe region for several centuries , trading furs and gold for the manufactured products of the civilized world to the south and the west , by the beginning of the fourth century B.C.E. the western part of Scythia , or at least the territory controlled by the " Scythians proper " , had been invaded by their eastern cousins , the Sarmatians . http : / / ossetians . com / eng / print . php ? newsid = 370 ( c ) 2013 , Iona Miller , All Rights Reserved , Sangreality Trust ; GenIsis Genealogy iona_m @ yahoo . com http : ionamiller . weebly . com Fair Use Notice This site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner .

http://drbenkim.com/articles-dairy.html | Home Blogs Dr . Ben Kim ' s blog Are Dairy Products Good For Your Health ? Posted by Dr . Ben Kim on Jan 27 , 2005 Healthy Eating Resources Before my parents immigrated to Canada close to four decades ago , my mom was convinced that one of the benefits of living in Canada was the amount of cow ' s milk that was available . Back in Korea , moms , dads , and grandparents of all ages were sure that their babies and grandchildren could be bigger , stronger , and healthier if they could only have easy access to milk . That generation ' s belief in the remarkable health value of milk was most probably rooted in their admiration for the physical strength and healthful appearances of American soldiers who were stationed at military bases around the country following the Korean war . While Korean soldiers ate rice , kim chee , and den jang ( miso ) soup for breakfast , American soldiers enjoyed milk , cereal , toast , bacon , and eggs . It was natural for many Koreans to conclude that the difference in size and strength was due to the foods that Americans ate . In much the same way that American influence caused baseball to become wildly popular in Korea , milk became a symbol of all things bigger and better in the land of the morning calm . I was born one year after my parents immigrated to Toronto , Canada . My mom chose not to breastfeed me because she was sure that cow ' s milk would be far better for my health and future . She was just one of many millions of people around the world who considered milk to be the ultimate health food . Today , the number of people around the world who consider milk to be a healthy food choice is most probably in the billions . True , there are groups and communities - particularly in the natural health field - who are well aware of the many health challenges that are associated with eating dairy products , but there is no denying that a large percentage of the world ' s population still believes that milk does a body good . Heck , if Dr . Phil is going to appear in ads wearing a milk mustache , how can Here are some important facts that you should know about most varieties of milk that are widely available in grocery stores : Most varieties of milk come from cows that are fed high - protein soybean meal and growth hormones to increase production . Both increase a cow ' s risk of developing mastitis , liver problems , and pituitary gland problems , leading to frequent doses of antibiotics . Clearly , regular exposure to synthetic growth hormone and antibiotic residues is not congruent with experiencing your best health . Conventional milk is pasteurized , a process that exposes milk to high temperatures and results in the following : Denaturing of milk proteins , making them less usable and even harmful to your body Destruction of enzymes , one of which is phosphatase , an enzyme that helps your body properly absorb the calcium found in milk Destruction of vitamins B12 B6 , and C Destruction of friendly bacteria Many varieties of milk are homogenized . Homogenization is a process that forces healthy fat in milk through a fine straining device , which allows homogenized milk to be consistent in texture and taste rather than have globules of fat float to the surface . The problem with homogenization is that it can alter healthy fat and cholesterol in milk in a way that leaves them more susceptible to forming free radicals Milk can be a healthy food choice if it meets the following criteria : It comes from old - fashioned cows like Jerseys and Guernseys , not modern Holsteins that have been bred to produce such large quantities of milk that they typically have pituitary gland problems that result in large amounts of hormones being present in their milk . It comes from cows that have been allowed to eat foods that are natural to them : grass when it is available , and green feed , silage , hay and root vegetables during colder months . It is not pasteurized . Pasteurization was first used in the 1920s to kill micro organisms that caused tuberculosis and other diseases that were related to unsanitary production methods . With modern day controls in place to ensure clean and safe production , transportation , and storage of milk , the disadvantages of pasteurization far outweigh the advantages . It is not homogenized . Realmilk . com is a website that provides more information on what constitutes healthy milk and where to find it . Even if you can find a local source of healthy milk , it ' s possible that it may not be a healthy choice for you . Many people are unable to properly digest milk because they lack an enzyme called lactase , necessary to break down lactose , the natural sugar in milk . Many people have a difficult time digesting casein , a major protein found in milk . Ongoing exposure to casein that is not properly broken down is strongly associated with chronic ear infections , nasal congestion acne eczema , a variety of autoimmune illnesses , and even cancer . Fermenting or souring healthy milk to form yogurt , kefir , and clabber helps to breakdown lactose and predigest casein , making these foods healthy choices for some people . Please keep in mind that many brands of yogurt and kefir are made with unhealthy milk . At the very least , you should make sure that store - bought yogurt and kefir are made from organic milk . Butter contains very little lactose and casein , which makes it an acceptable food choice for some people - it ' s best to use varieties that are made with organic , unpasteurized dairy . Cheese is highly concentrated with casein , so should only be eaten by those who do n ' t show signs of intolerance to casein . It is best to eat cheeses made from healthy milk , and to completely avoid processed cheese which contains hydrogenated oils and harmful emulsifiers , extenders , and phosphates .

http://drbenkim.com/articles-enema.htm | Home Blogs Dr . Ben Kim ' s blog Are Enemas Good for Your Health ? Posted by Dr . Ben Kim on Mar 04 , 2010 Natural Health Care Undergoing an enema involves using a bag of water and a tube to fill your colon with enough water to stimulate contraction of the walls of your colon - the idea is to force your colon into expelling waste materials out through your anal sphincter . Unfortunately , years of constipation and / or undergoing enemas can disrupt the mechanisms that are in place to allow your body to generate its own bowel movements - for some people , it can become near impossible to have a bowel movement without having an enema . If you ' re able to have bowel movements without using enemas , and you ' re interested in having regular enemas for ongoing cleansing , I encourage you to consider the long term implications of fiddling with the natural contractile capacity of your colon walls . Let ' s review some basic anatomy and physiology of your GI tract so that you ' re well equipped to decide on whether you should or should n ' t have enemas done on a regular basis . After nutrients from the foods and beverages that you ingest pass through the walls of your small intestine to enter your bloodstream , what remains in your small intestine is a watery mass which consists mainly of the following components : Fiber Dead cells from the walls of your digestive tract Microorganisms Digestive juices This watery mass travels through your small intestine until it reaches your large intestine , also called your colon . As it travels through your large intestine , the walls of your large intestine absorb water from this mass . By the time this watery mass reaches the end of your large intestine ( also called your rectal pouch ) , enough water is absorbed from the watery mass to leave a solid mass . This is essentially how you form stools for bowel movements . The pace at which the watery mass travels through your intestines is mainly determined by three factors : The amount of fiber in your diet The more fiber - rich plant foods that you eat , the quicker this mass will travel through your intestines . This is why not eating enough fiber can cause constipation - without regular intake of fiber - rich foods to keep this watery mass moving through your intestines at a healthy pace , your colon will have more contact time with this watery mass , which leads to excessive water absorption , which leads to uncomfortably hard stools . How well you manage emotional stressors Emotional stress can accelerate or decelerate the pace at which this watery mass travels through your intestines , and can therefore be a cause of chronic constipation or diarrhea . Whether you experience acceleration or deceleration due to emotional stress depends on your genetic predisposition . The health of your enteric nervous system Your enteric nervous system consists of a series of sensory receptors and nerves that are scattered throughout the walls of your intestines . Your enteric nervous system is responsible for regulating the natural waves of contractions that occur in the walls of your intestines . These contractile waves are what push material along at a steady pace towards your rectal pouch . Whenever the walls of your digestive tract are stretched by food or liquids , sensory receptors in these walls are stimulated , which sends a signal to your enteric nervous system , telling it to contract the muscles in the walls of your digestive tract . Getting back to why I do n ' t believe that enemas are good for long term bowel health , consider that whenever your colon is filled with water during an enema , the walls of your colon are stretched to a larger degree than they are with normal amounts of food and liquids that you eat and drink . If you have enemas done regularly , then over time , the stretch receptors in your intestinal walls may recalibrate to this greater degree of stretching and even become numb to the stretching that occurs with regular amounts of food Also , repeated unnatural stretching of your bowel walls with regular enemas can lead to weakening of the muscles in these walls , making it difficult for you to have bowel movements without an extraordinary amount of stimulation to your enteric nervous system . As mentioned above , for some people , this lack of natural tone and contractile ability in the bowel walls can reach a point where they ca n ' t have a single bowel movement without using an enema or laxatives . None of this is to say that enemas should be avoided in all circumstances . When I ran our residential fasting program , I regularly recommended a one - time enema for people who had a history of chronic constipation and felt constipated before they began a long , water - only fast . I made this recommendation because during a lengthy water fast , existing stools and materials in the digestive tract tend to build up in the rectal pouch and become quite hard . People with chronic constipation and problems with hemorrhoids or anal fissures can usually benefit from clearing out their colon and rectal pouch with an enema before beginning a long fast . To summarize , I firmly believe that it is best to avoid undergoing enemas on a regular basis . The three best ways of naturally maintaining healthy bowel walls and movements are to : Consistently work on reducing stress and striving to feel emotionally balanced Regularly eat fresh , minimally processed plant foods Adopt the four habits of eating for optimal digestion , the most important of which is to chew all foods thoroughly I hope this information is helpful . Please consider sharing this post with family and friends who may not know about the potential problems with long term use of enemas . Please note : Colonics are similar to enemas , the main difference being that a skilled practitioner can better regulate the pace and amount of water that is used during a colonic than most people can with enemas . Still , even with better regulation of water flow , I feel that regular use of colonics is not an optimal way to promote a clean and healthy colon .

http://drbenkim.com/how-to-make-cucumber-kim-chi.htm | Home Blogs Dr . Ben Kim ' s blog How to Make Cucumber Kim Chi Posted by Dr . Ben Kim on Jul 30 , 2017 Healthy Korean Recipes Healthy Meals Updated on July 21 , 2011 : Please note : Cucumber kim chi is best refrigerated and enjoyed right after making it . You can allow it to ferment before refrigerating as you would with cabbage kim chi , but because cucumbers tend to go soft a lot quicker than cabbage , it ' s best to think of this dish as a crisp , refreshing salad / side dish . Enjoy ! One of the joys of Korean cuisine is having a number of healthy and yummy side dishes to eat along with each main course . Kim chi - fermented , spicy cabbage - is easily the most celebrated Korean side dish . Few non - Koreans know that hundreds if not thousands of varieties of kim chi are made throughout Korea . Makes perfect sense , of course , since you can make kim chi out of most varieties of vegetables . Why should you consider eating kim chi now and again ? It ' s a tasty way to give your body a number of nutrients that come with raw vegetables , including those found in raw garlic . Combine raw garlic , plenty of enzymes , and a long list of antioxidants with the probiotics that come with naturally fermented kim chi , and you have yourself a true superfood that provides a powerful strengthening effect on your immune system . Here ' s a look at how my mom makes cucumber kim chi , which has long been one of my favorite dishes . . . Start with about 15 to 20 small cucumbers , the kind that are used to make dill pickles . If you ca n ' t find small cucumbers , you can use about the equivalent amount of large cucumbers . Give the cucumbers a good rinse , then chop them into bite - size pieces . Put them in a large bowl , add about two flat tablespoons of sea salt , and toss well . Allow salted pickles to sit overnight at room temperature , or at least for a couple of hours . The salt helps draw moisture out of the cucumbers , which creates a natural brine . Now add 1 / 2 to 1 full teaspoon of minced raw garlic . We use raw minced garlic that we keep in a small container in the refrigerator . Wash and chop up three green onions - not three bunches , but three individual ribs . Not sure if they are called ribs ? Cords ? Hope this is clear . Add chopped green onions to the mix . Do n ' t you love seeing all this green ? The green onions add texture and natural sweetness to this cucumber kim chi dish . For a little extra sweetness , chop up 1 / 4 of a small to medium yellow onion . And add it to the mix . If you ' re worried about the sharp bite that raw onions have , stop worrying right now . Once given a day or two to naturally ferment , the onion loses most of its sharpness . But it does n ' t lose any of its flavor , so unless you really have something against onions , go ahead and add some . Now the part that makes any kim chi a real , authentic kim chi : add two flat tablespoons of fine red chili flakes . I do n ' t know whether to call this red chili flakes or powder . It ' s not really a powder . . .the flakes are really fine . Koreans call it ko choo kah rhoo , which literally means ground hot peppers . If at all possible , please get some of this stuff from a local Korean grocery store so that you can be sure that you have the right kind for making kim chi . You can add ko choo kah rhoo to any number of dishes , of course , like miso soup and seasoned green beans . Koreans add to just about everything . Did I mention that is extremely rich in vitamin C ? Now add a teaspoon of vinegar . Next , put on a pair of gloves ( to protect your skin against the heat of the ) and give everything a good toss . Here ' s about what it should look like when you ' re done tossing : Oops , forgot to add a little extra hint of sweetness . Just a tablespoon of honey will do , please . You can actually add the honey before the first good toss . . .we just forgot . Here ' s a good look at the glorious kim chi brine that is naturally created as you go through the steps in this recipe . Once the kim chi cools down in the refrigerator , this brine is a real treat on hot days . Just one spoonful after a meal makes you feel like everything is going to be okay . Now pack your cucumber kim chi away into glass bottles , and do n ' t forget to add a bit of brine to each one - just a couple of tablespoons of brine per bottle will do . Here ' s a close - up just before we cap it and put this baby to rest for a day or two . All that ' s left to do at this point is to transfer the bottles to your refrigerator and enjoy small servings as you please . Cucumber kim chi does n ' t typically keep as well as cabbage kim chi , so you can begin enjoying it right away , almost like a crisp , refreshing salad or side dish . It ' s best to eat up your batch within two to three days , though if kept refrigerated , it will keep for quite a bit longer , although it will lose its crunch by the day Dish some out , just like this , whenever you need a little kim chi to spice up a meal : And the next time you make kim chi , feel free to be creative and try a different cut . For example , instead of chopping the cucumbers up into rough chunks , you can slice them into thinner , longer strips , which look really nice with a bowl of noodles .

Greg on May 28 , 2013 - 19 : 54 I know this is probably really old but I think I might have the answer . If you used regular old table salt , this will definitely be too salty ! I use kosher salt ( see my blog http : / / kimchi - story . blogspot . com / . . .very similar to this recipe ) and it works out just fine . Hope this helps ! Mine also very salty . Was on May 9 , 2014 - 04 : 53 Mine also very salty . Was hoping after fermentation taste better . Kimchi is too salty . Lori on November 28 , 2015 - 16 : 52 Sea salt is " Much More " salty , for recipes calling for sea salt use 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 the amount or just use coarse Kosher salt in the amount the recipe calls for . Sea salt is n ' t more salty , lele on June 10 , 2018 - 22 : 07 Sea salt is n ' t more salty , but because kosher salt is larger chunks , if you use the same volume of a finer grained sea salt , you ' re actually using more salt . It ' s the problem with measuring by volume ( instead of weight ) . Sounds delicious ! Ann on July 21 , 2009 - 01 : 57 I ' ve been receiving your delightful newsletters for a few months and this is my first time to post . I want to thank you and your Mother for these recipes with such outstanding photography . I ' m so anxious to try this , and your directions make it sound simple . We live in PA and I make raw sauerkraut which my husband and I enjoy , and it ' s also available at many growers ' markets during autumn . We generally have a little before our evening meal now and then . Those tasty little cucumbers are available now so this will be a nice change for us . One thing I ' m wondering about ; I have chili powder but it ' s not so hot that it requires gloves , so I ' m wondering if I need a different type or if you are referring to cayenne red pepper . If so , that may be a bit hotter than we ' d like . I ' ll be looking forward to more recipes . Thanks so much for taking time to offer such nice information . chili powder Dr . Ben Kim on July 21 , 2009 - 02 : 31 Hi Ann . . .I ' m glad that these recipe pictorials are helpful . We definitely have a good time taking photos in the kitchen . : ) [ img_assist | nid = 1301 | title = | desc = | link = none | align = right | width = 112 | height = 168 ] Regarding the chili powder , I do n ' t believe that the Korean variety is the same as cayenne pepper . Koreans take red chili peppers that look like the peppers in this photo , and I believe they sun - dry them and then grind them into fine flakes . They ' re more flakes than they are particles of a powder . If at all possible , I recommend that you try to get some < em > ko choo kah rhoo < / em > at a Korean grocery store . They ' re usually labeled as " red pepper powder . " You can use just a small amount at first and add more if you like a little extra heat . The amount that we ' ve suggested here creates a mild spicy flavor . Good luck ! Ben Yummy ! Jenny on August 31 , 2010 - 12 : 33 Thanks so much for posting this ! This is one of my favorite Korean side dishes . As far as the chili flakes go , the Korean ko choo kah rhoo is not as spicy as the cayenne . I just learned this . I tried making some kim chi jjigae using cayenne and oh my goodness was it hot ! ! I think the Korean red pepper flakes are milder . Do n ' t get me wrong , it ' s still spicy , just not as potent . Ca n ' t wait to make this ! chili powder francis on May 13 , 2017 - 19 : 47 search ' kochugaru ' or ' kochukaru ' on amazon . Yer cuke kim chee . Henri on July 21 , 2009 - 02 : 20 Hi . Is chili flakes the same thing as cayenne pepper ( ground up ) ? As you can see , I know less than nothing about spicy peppers . I ca n ' t wait to concoct some of this when the cukes in my garden are ready . Also , my garden has garlic , green onions & regular onions so this will really be a home - made food . Ca n ' t wait for more from the senior Mrs . Kim . Korean chili pepper is on February 2 , 2012 - 00 : 00 Korean chili pepper is different from other chili peppers . Instead of powder , it is more like finely grounded flakes . Korean chili pepper is also more mild than normal chili pepper and has a slightly sweet taste . Well done and thanks for sharing this recipe .

Re : Cucumber Kim Chi Recipe Pam on July 21 , 2009 - 09 : 44 Hi All , I just wanted to say I ' ve been getting your newsletter for years and love it . I have an adopted Korean son and when he came home to us I began a journey into Korean culture and cooking . What a delightful experience . I encourage everyone to go to their nearest Asian market and talk to the owner . They are usually more than helpful to explain about the different foods they sell and use . And , yes , the Asian chili flakes ARE different from the American version . But DO try some of the foods there . It is like going on an exotic trip without travelling the distance ! I have Life ' s an adventure . . .enjoy ! Spicey pickled cucumber recipe Teresa on July 21 , 2009 - 15 : 49 Dear Dr . Kim , If Peter Piper picked a peck of your spicy , pickled , cucumbers , he ' d be perfectly peppy all day . This is a great raw recipe . Red peppers increase blood circulation to the brain . We could all use some of that ! Best Regards , Teresa Kim chi storage Marty on July 26 , 2009 - 18 : 32 Hello , the Kim Chi looks fabulous ! How long will this keep ? I would like to make this , from my soon - to - be - abundant cucumber crop , and give it away as gifts . Currently I am making cornichon ( The little , super - sour , French pickles ) out of them , but some variety would be nice too . cucumber kimchi hyesun on July 30 , 2009 - 17 : 01 hi dr . kim , the kimchi looks delicious . i want to make some today , but do n ' t the cucumbers need to be completely covered in brine , or it will get moldy ? that ' s what my mom told me . thanks ! hyesun cucumber kimchi Adam on November 18 , 2010 - 02 : 45 I also thought the cucumbers had to be totally covered in brine so I am a little bit scared to try this recipe . It looks so good though that maybe I will be a little adventurous . kim chi safety if not covered by brine Diane on January 9 , 2011 - 16 : 26 Actually , you want the good variety of bacteria that happens with fermentation - this , according to a number of studies , is incredibly important to our health - sort of feeds our body the way compost feeds the soil . We normally have trillions of bacteria on and in our bodies , and they play an important part in breaking down nutrients in our intestines , as well as ( maybe most importantly ) competing with pathogenic and cancer - causing bacteria . We ' ve thrown our systems off with antibiotics and an excessively sterile culture , It takes some getting used to , I know , but my sense is that vegetables , as long as they start out clean and not contaminated with manure , will grow " good " bacteria as they ferment . I have never heard of a food - borne illness from kimchi , which I have kept in my fridge for years , sometimes , ( when I forgot how much I loved it ) and not completely covered in brine . I think it sets up a very stable " ecosystem " of bacteria which is not only safe My 2 cents . . . Diane ( I ' m an RN and generally read a lot about nutrition and health ) How it ' s stored in S Korean Mark on August 2 , 2014 - 22 : 04 I was lucky enough to live in Waegwan for a year while in the Army which is where I fell in love with KimChi and Yaki Mandu ! The Old School Korean buries an earthenware jar ( s ) full of KimChi to last till the next spring . This stuff keeps forever ! But it wo n ' t last that long once you get hooked ! Cucumber Kimchee ANA T RICO on April 18 , 2016 - 21 : 54 I am terrible at reading long intructions and strained the brine and tossed it out . Once I read the entire recipe I realized the mistake , is this ok or is there a way to make some brine by adding extra salt and a little water ? Cucumber Kim Chi Candi on August 4 , 2009 - 19 : 39 Wow ! Is this ever a great recipe . I make cabbage kim chi often but this is so great for summer . I have made it once and need to start another batch tomorrow . I have told many folks about it and will look for ko choo kah rhoo next time I am at an Asian Market . I work at a farm and use only the vegetables we grow . This recipe works just fine with larger cucumbers and even lemon cukes . Thank you for sharing . cucumber kim chi witichita on September 1 , 2009 - 06 : 24 Sounds delicious going to try it today with cues from the garden . Thanks Kochojan KH on September 2 , 2009 - 04 : 40 I did n ' t have the chili powder on hand but I do keep a tub of " kochujang " - Korean red chili paste . I substituted the chili powder in your recipe with the hot paste and it seemed to come out just fine . It took a little more time to work in the paste evenly than a powder I suppose . Tastewise , it ' ll probably be better tomorrow ! Dr . Kim , I have been trying Robin on November 10 , 2009 - 19 : 08 Dr . Kim , I have been trying your recipes for some time and absolutely love them . Because of them I have now altered my personal description to be as follows : My skin is from Africa , my spirit is from Hawaii , and my stomach is definitely from Korea ! I love that they are light , with lots of vegetables , have delicious spices and flavors , and are complimented with a side of fish ( I ' m mostly vegetarian , but I eat fish from time to time ) . Thanks so much and Cucumber Kimchi Recipe Jodi on November 11 , 2009 - 06 : 28 Wow . Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this in detail and take such beautiful photos . I ca n ' t wait to try the recipe ! Use flakes not powder David Nakov on November 19 , 2009 - 00 : 40 Undoubtedly Koreans are # 1 in fermenting everything . In northern European countries fermenting cabbage and cucumbers before refrigeration , was done in the fall for preserving for the whole winter . The salt and the cold in the basement kept things from getting mouldy . So will keep long in your fridge . Using ground hot papers powder it does not dress the vegetables and ends up in the brine on the bottom of the JAR ( not bottle ) . Use any hot peper flakes but not crushed hot peppers as on pizza . I Love Oe Kimchi ! Fish Oil on November 25 , 2009 - 18 : 09 Dr . Kim : I lived in Korea for two years when I was in my late teens and early twenties and I ate cucumber kimchi ( or as you would say in Korean oe kimchi ) many , many times . I always thought it was too daunting to make but your step - by - step process complete with photos was great to see and very informative . I ' m going to have to try it ! ! ! I remember the process I used to go through when eating really hot oe kimchi with a lot of cayenne pepper : < UL > < li > Eat kimchi < li > Drink water < li > Blow nose from mucous membrane inflammation < li > Savor taste < li > Start again ! < / ul > This post brought back some good memories for me ! When kimchi is really made with care , it ' s wonderful . This from a guy who would not touch it for the first 7 months of my time in Korea . But then I became addicted to it . Thanks , GR http : / / www . cayennepepper . info Ko Choo Kah Rhoo is Cayenne Pepper Lowering Cholesterol on November 25 , 2009 - 18 : 18 Dr . Kim : I believe ko choo kah rhoo is cayenne pepper powder . One of the many things to consider here is the natural heat of the cayenne used . Most cayenne readily available at the local health food store or grocery store is 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units . That is plenty hot for most people . Some cayenne pepper powder , though , can be as hot as 160,000 . The heat in cayenne is caused by the capsaicin with the Scoville Heat Units - - SHU - - being the layman ' s way of interpreting the heat You are right in saying how beneficial ko choo kah rhoo is for you , though . It ' s very , very healthy . I lived in Korea for a 1 and a half and at that time used a lot of cayenne pepper or ko choo kah rhoo . Thanks for the recipe ! I have been a huge kimchi fan on December 13 , 2009 - 20 : 57 I have been a huge kimchi fan since I was a child and was lucky enough to be introduced to several homemade varieties . This is a great recipe ! The pics are great as well . Thanks for sharing . Easy and Fun for kids ! HappyMother on April 14 , 2010 - 04 : 17 Thanks SO much for posting this . My 5 year old sat next to me and made his own while I made mine . At the end he said he did n ' t want pepper but he wanted his sauce to be red . I did n ' t know what to use for him . Then HE suggested Paprika ! It actually tastes alright . . .and easier on a five year old tongue ! I told him I ' d pass on the substitution for other parents who may want to try it for their non - Cucumber and bok choy kim chee Jeana on September 13 , 2010 - 23 : 30 I ' ve made both of your recipes on this several times now and I have to tell you it comes out perfect everytime ! I ' m a professional chef , but even I enjoy viewing your step by step photos . They make all the difference when making something out of one ' s normal scope of culinary talent . Thanks for sharing your family ' s great recipes . : - ) Thank you for this wonderful J . on November 6 , 2010 - 23 : 44 Thank you for this wonderful recipe . Our garden produced more cucumbers than we could ate this year so I followed this recipe and made kim chi . Everyone loves it . Now instead of too many cucumbers , I felt we do n ' t have enough . Thanks for sharing this great recipe ! awesome ! ! Stephanie on April 26 , 2011 - 12 : 01 I followed this kimchi down to the letter and it turned out amazingly . Thank you so much for the recipe and posting the pictures step by step . It really helped ! I am a huge cucumber kimchi fan but used to have to go to the Korean restaurant just to get an appetizer portion . Now I make my own . . . and it tastes even better than the restaurant ! Thanks again ! That ' s what I love to hear , on April 26 , 2011 - 13 : 56 That ' s what I love to hear , Stephanie . : ) Crisp Cucumbers Caty on October 11 , 2011 - 14 : 38 I have made this recipe several times . It is one of my favorite side dishes . One of the things I like best about this dish is the crisp , refreshing taste of the cucumbers . But as the recipe says , the cucumbers become soft after a few days . Well , I found an easy trick to keep the cucumbers crisp for weeks . Instead of letting the cucumbers sit in salt to ferment overnight , fill your bowl with cold water ( still add the salt ) until all the cucumbers are submerged . Then place Just tried it for the first time Greg on January 30 , 2012 - 20 : 23 Hi there , Just tried this recipe for the first time with about 10 kirby cucumbers . I could n ' t find the Korean spices so I got some red pepper flakes from a Chinese grocery store . Here ' s my conclusion : very good and tasty . BUT , even though I cut the brine in half , it turned out to be too salty for our taste . I think that I might brine as described but rinse the cucumbers and replace the brine with water afterwards , much like is done with the Kim Chi recipe . This It ' s also quite different from the ones I had at the Korean restaurant that were n ' t spicy and were actually quite sweeter . But I think I like these better actually . Other than that it was a great condiment to eat on a cold Winter ' s night with a zaru soba soup with spicy chicken ! Thanks for the recipe and now I ' m off to finding some nappa cabbage for a first attempt at Kim Chi : ) Ca n ' t wait to try this , I ' m going to add Alum for crunch ! ! Lisa on April 9 , 2012 - 17 : 25 I am going to add a couple teaspoons of alum to this cucumber kimchee recipe , as it helps to keep the " crunch " in cucumbers when pickling them . . .hopefully it will in this application as well : ) This recipie is awesome ! Charlie on June 28 , 2012 - 16 : 25 This recipie is awesome ! Thank you for sharing . I have made this many times . My Korean friend says it was as good as his grandmothers ' . You do n ' t get better compliments than that no mater what your background is ! ! ! Cucumber Kim Chee Retta on August 13 , 2012 - 11 : 41 This recipe is awsome . Could not find chilli flakes where I live but found dried cayane peppers and put in my food processor till flakes . Could you not put the jars in a canner and process so could seal and keep like people do pickles ? Cucumber Kim Chi Brandon on July 2 , 2014 - 14 : 45 You may want to add to recipe that you should thoroughly rinse cucumbers in cold water after overnight salt soak or the kim chi will be way too salty to consume . kim chee kawika on April 6 , 2015 - 14 : 52 Like your recipe . Easy to follow . I have surplus cucumbers in my garden . cucumber kim chi clare lorenzi on August 28 , 2015 - 22 : 51 At the moment I am dealing with detox skin issues , basically scalp & facial seborrhea and can not eat chilis . Will leaving the chills out compromise the nutritional benefits of the kim chi ? Thank you . clare lorenzi Cucumber kimchi Lee on August 22 , 2017 - 18 : 57 I love this recipe . I think it gets better with time ! ! The cucumbers taste like pickles , only spicy ! ! Love it ! | [

http://drbenkim.com/how-to-make-soy-milk.htm | How to Make Your Own Soy Milk Contrary to popular belief , soy can be a healthy food choice for the masses . In Korea and Japan , most households enjoy soy in many forms daily . The key is knowing how to prepare it for optimal digestion and nutritional benefit . If you ' ve never made your own soy milk , I highly recommend that you give it a try . Freshly made soy milk provides flavor and richness that I ' ve yet to find in any store - bought variety . Plus , when you make your own , you can have an entire pitcher of rich , creamy soy milk for about 20 cents . First , you ' ll need to find dry soybeans , which are available at most grocery stores in the section that houses dry beans and lentils . This 900 - gram bag costs about two dollars at our local grocery store , and as you ' ll see , just one cup of dry beans produces a generous four to five cups of fresh soy milk . Here ' s a close look at dry soybeans : Add one cup of dry soy beans to a large bowl , give them a rinse , then allow beans to soak in plenty of water for six hours . After soaking for six hours , drain water and transfer beans along with enough fresh water to cook beans for 15 minutes to a large pot . Use the largest pot you have , as boiling soybeans produces quite a lot of bubbles . Be precise with the 15 minute mark - this is 15 minutes of actual boiling time , no more or less , as the goal is to cook the beans , but to minimize sapping of nutritional content . Keep the pot covered while your beans are boiling , and only remove lid briefly to blow Taste test a soybean - it should taste cooked , but still have a nice crunch . Once finished boiling , use a strainer to transfer cooked soybeans to a bowl in the sink . Cover beans with fresh water and gently " roll " them between your hands to remove their translucent skins . You can easily separate the thin translucent skins from the soybeans by slowly pouring off the skins and water into a strainer . Transfer cooked , skinless soybeans to your blender . If your blender is large enough , add four cups of fresh water . If your blender ca n ' t take four cups of water comfortably , then add just two cups of water . Blend for at least a minute on high , or as long as it takes to transform your beans and water into soy milk - it should end up looking something like this : To give your soy milk a smooth quality , pour it through a strainer into a large container or bowl . You ' ll need to use a spoon to help assist this filtration process . If you used only two cups of water in the blender , this is where you can gradually add two more cups of water as you filter your soy milk . Eventually , you ' ll be left with some soy paste , which you can add to Korean pancakes ( bin dae duk , or even to smoothies for extra protein content . Voila - freshly made soy milk : Once you have a taste of fresh soy milk , I think you ' ll agree that store - bought varieties do n ' t do justice to real soy flavor . When served cold , it ' s absolutely delicious without a single additive , though you can always add your own vanilla for a little boost of love . Now a huge bonus : Once you have chilled soy milk , you can easily make an authentic Korean dish : Kohng Gook Soo , Korean for " bean soup , " made by combining seasoned chilled soy milk with freshly cooked noodles plus your favorite vegetables . This is a summertime favorite in Korea , perfect for cooling your body down and satisfying the heartiest of appetites . Just combine freshly cooked noodles ( al dente is best ) with any vegetables you feel like ( julienned carrots and diced green onions are an excellent combination ) . Be sure to give your noodles a good rinse with running cold water in a strainer before you serve them . Now season your chilled soy milk by adding sea salt , to taste . Then add a generous amount of chilled seasoned soy milk to your noodles . Koreans enjoy kohng gook soo by taking a good sip of the broth with every mouthful of noodles and vegetables . If you give fresh soy milk and this Korean noodle dish a try , please let us know what you think via the comments section below . Please note that you should keep your fresh soy milk refrigerated and use it up within 2 to 3 days . Give your soy milk a good shake before each use . | [

http://drbenkim.com/nutrient-zinc.html | Home Blogs Dr . Ben Kim ' s blog Healthy Foods that Contain Zinc Posted by Dr . Ben Kim on Jan 05 , 2005 Healthy Eating Resources Zinc is mineral that your body needs in trace amounts for a variety of different mechanisms . What Does Zinc Do in Your Body ? Supports a healthy nervous system and is therefore essential for mental and emotional balance . Helps strengthen your immune system , which increases your capacity to deal with stress . Helps keep your teeth and bones strong . Helps control your blood sugar level . Is involved in numerous chemical reactions that convert food into energy . Helps to protect your body against free radical damage . Helps to reduce your blood level of homocysteine , decreasing your risk of a variety of chronic , degenerative health conditions . Here are some healthy , whole food sources of zinc : Whole Food Sources Serving Zinc ( mg ) Organic Beef 3 ounces 5.80 Beef Liver , cooked 100 grams 5.24 Lima Beans 1 cup 3.60 Organic / Wild Turkey , cooked 3 ounces 3.50 Chickpeas 1 cup 2.60 Split Peas , cooked 1.96 Cashews , raw 1 ounce 1.60 Pecans , raw 1 ounce 1.28 Green peas , cooked 1.08 Almonds , raw 1.00 Organic egg , poached 1 large 0.55 Ginger root , raw 1 teaspoon 0.34 Signs of Deficiency Poor sense of taste and smell Poor appetite Emotional and behavioural disturbances Poor wound healing Skin rashes Sterility Chronic and severe diarrhea White marks / lines across nails Signs of Deficiency in Children Poor growth Delayed sexual maturation People Who Have Higher Than Average Risk of Developing a Zinc Deficiency * Infants and children Pregnant and lactating ( breastfeeding ) women , especially teenagers Patients who are receiving their food intravenously Malnourished individuals , including those with anorexia nervosa Individuals with severe or persistent diarrhea Individuals with malabsorption syndromes , including sprue and short bowel syndrome Individuals with inflammatory bowel disease , including Crohn ' s disease and ulcerative colitis Individuals with alcohol - induced liver disease Individuals with sickle cell anemia Adults who are 65 years and older Strict vegetarians - if you eat a lot of grains and legumes that are high in phytic acid , you have a greater than average daily requirement for zinc , as phytic acid is known to decrease the absorption of zinc into the blood stream . Eating too many grains , spinach , and rhubarb can increase your risk of developing a zinc deficiency . Alcohol , sugar , stress , inadequate protein intake , and taking high doses of calcium in supplement form can also lead to a zinc deficiency . Recommended DietaryAllow ance for Zinc - 1998 Life Stage Age Males ( mg / day ) Females ( mg / day ) Infants 0 - 6 months 2 2 Infants 7 - 12 months 3 3 Children 1 - 3 years Children 4 - 8 years 5 5 9 - 13 years 8 8 Adolescents 14 - 18 years 11 9 Adults 19 - years and older 11 Pregnancy 18 years and younger all ages 12 Pregnancy 19 years and older all ages Breastfeeding 19 years and older 12 Toxicity Getting too much zinc in your diet can actually weaken the strength of your immune system . Taking more than 45 mg of zinc per day can lead to a copper deficiency . 80 mg of zinc per day over the long term can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease via a decrease in blood levels of HDL . Greater than 150 mg of zinc per day can weaken your immune system . Nausea , an upset stomach , and vomitting are strong signs of zinc toxicity if you are taking a zinc supplement . For these reasons Diagnostic Test for Zinc Some practitioners use hair analysis , while others run a plasma zinc test . As of March 14 , 2005 , to the best of my knowledge , there is no reliable diagnostic test for zinc deficiency . If you have any of the signs of zinc deficiency listed above and you are in the high - risk group for zinc deficiency , I recommend that you focus on improving your digestive strength , and consistently eating whole foods that are rich in zinc . * Adapted from the Linus Pauling Institute Nutrient Index Go To Nutrient Index Join more than 100,000 readers worldwide who receive Dr .

http://drcarolyndean.com/2010/02/four-ways-to-stop-magnesium-from-causing-diarrhea/ | Four Ways to Stop Magnesium From Causing Diarrhea February 24 , 2010 I first wrote this blog in Feb . 2010 and since then it ’ s had about half a million views , which means that a lot of people experience the laxative effect from magnesium and wish they did n ’ t . I wrote this blog when Joanne O . from Pennsylvania asked me why supplementing with magnesium was causing her diarrhea … I have difficulties whenever I have more than 400mg of magnesium . I tried taking 800mg for awhile and it always causes diarrhea … Is this normal ? ” Generally , magnesium will cause diarrhea because not enough is being absorbed into your bloodstream . If it does n ’ t make it into your bloodstream it ends up in your colon where it has a laxative effect . Here are four strategies to stop magnesium from causing diarrhea … The first strategy , which I did n ’ t have back in 2010 , is to take my non - laxative magnesium , called ReMag . I created it because I get the laxative effect from very low doses of any other magnesium . Do n ’ t take all your magnesium at one time . Have two or three smaller doses throughout the day . Try taking your magnesium with high fiber meals . We are meant to derive magnesium from food which slows down its absorption . Use my ReMag Lotion which is a great alternative to oral magnesium because it bypasses your digestive system . A companion piece to this blog is another one I wrote called “ When Magnesium Makes Me Worse . ” You can also go to my website to download a dozen free eBooks including ReMag : Invisible Minerals Part I Carolyn Dean MD ND The Doctor of the Future ® RESOURCES : Along the borders and in the links of my web site you can find my books , writings , and my call - in radio show .

http://dreambuildersobx.com/2017/08/01/best-flooring-beach-house/ | News Blog Best Flooring for a Beach House One frequent question that were asked is What flooring works best in a beach home The most definitive answer is that carpet while fine for bedrooms is not recommended for high traffic common areas in a coastal home The good news is that there are a variety of quality products on the market that work very well in our seaside environment Certainly every Outer Banks contractor has an opinion on what works the best Given my experience the products that top our recommended list include prefinished hardwoods ceramic and porcelain tiles and luxury vinyl flooring The majority of our clients request hardwood flooring for their great room and hallways and weve found prefinished wood is a great product that comes in a variety of appealing wood species This is solid wood flooring that has multiple coats of factory applied finish to protect against discoloration and water penetration The quality has improved greatly in the last decade and a part of this improvement is attributed to the newest finish called Aluminum Oxide This finish is applied by a commercial process that includes a UVcured urethane coat thats great for color preservation and durability against stains and scratches Because the wood is factory finished the installation process is more efficient There is no job site dust from sanding and no lingering odors from onsite staining An added bonus is you can walk on the floors immediately whereas unfinished wood takes several days for the applied stain to cure If you factor in the material price for unfinished wood and add the labor cost to sand and stain floors prefinished floors price out as a better value Our preference is prefinished hardwood flooring that is thick When and if the time comes this thickness can be professionally refinished up to 34 times Wider hardwood planks can be more susceptible to moisturerelated issues To minimize this potential the widest plank we typically use measures between 4 and 412 inches We also encourage homeowners to have ceramic tile placed in the entrance foyer and in front of sliding glass doors to lessen the potential of moisture permeating hardwood Whereas hardwood can be extended into bedrooms a more budget friendly option is to install carpet in these rooms We recommend a low piling in a neutral color that wont easily show sand that can be tracked indoors Ceramic tile is another functional and low maintenance flooring option for a beach home This durable product is often earmarked for kitchens bathrooms and utility rooms The majority of Outer Bankss recreation rooms are located on the ground level slab with doors that lead to the outdoors For this reason ceramic tile is a dependable solution for the traffic that flows in and out from the pool area Another flooring option for rec rooms is high quality luxury vinyl which is durable tolerant of moisture and can be more economical than ceramic tile Better Business Bureau Accredited BELLE ACRES COMMUNITY Please click here to view our new 10 home community Belle Acres for sale by Dream Builders Inc 100 | [

http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/float-floatin/ | Float Floating Often appears in dreams where the dreamer is getting close to someone of the opposite sex and some aspect of sexual feeling is present . At times it can be an experience of awareness expanding beyond the usual boundaries of the persons beliefs or of their physical senses . Also it often happens in flying dreams or in lucid dreaming . Floating away from being practical or grounded , feeling light headed or ‘ floaty ’ . Descent may show coming ‘ down to earth ’ or a feeling of setback . On water Relaxation ; opening to power beyond the ego ; being indecisive ; being carried along by events . To be moved by passing feelings instead of by inner purpose . To be hopeful and buoyant . See : Flying Earth floating off it : Losing connection with one ’ s roots of family or culture . This may also be occasionally shown as being on a high building . Floating away : If you mysteriously and are perhaps white or glowing , it can represent feelings about a dead person who has ‘ floated away ’ from physical life . Floating on air This relate to your mind and mental attitude , idealism or lack of it . It may show how you manage to escape from ‘ reality ’ , or painful things such as shyness , by thinking beautiful thoughts , or creating a mental world inside yourself through such things as reading or meditation . In a positive sense it shows an ability to change your state of mind at will . Example : My boyfriend and I were at a local beach . I had been there before but he had n ’ t . It was at a dam situated just up from the beach . I was floating in the air about ten feet above him , and he was dead . He had drowned . Since I had this dream we have broken - up . I still love him very much . T.H . Example : ‘ We were both shy of each other but as the dance went on I found I could move so well to his steps that we felt like one , it was so effortless that it felt like floating . ’ Heather . Example : After a transition that I do n ’ t remember , I was floating in darkness wondering what was happening to me . I was going through some personal crisis I did not understand . Though I was not particularly aware of my ( dreamed ) body , I felt myself drift up . Sud - denly I entered the light , which I happily recognized . I knew then that I was again in the presence of God , and that this time I had died . The light was brilliant and filled my vision . There Idioms a pine float float your boat back teeth are floating Useful questions and hints : Am I experiencing hopeful and buoyant feelings , as in ‘ floating on air ’ ? Am I floating through a situation without clear direction or purpose ? Does this indicate sexual involvement or feelings ?

See http : / / dreamhawk . com / dream - dictionary / masters - of - nightmares / Being with his family represents all the positive and negative traits they passed on to him . When you think about a friend or a person you know , you are only taking in your thoughts , impressions and feelings about them . So many people do not realise that they have an inner person or family equally as powerful as the external people they know . You have taken in millions of bits of memory , lessons learnt , life experiences along with all the feelings or problems met by meeting or living with them , and they change The hallway is a connecting symbol that gives him entrance into the many sides of his personality . So he meets a ball , which represents his whole nature . That means he is moving beyond his normal awareness , which is his sense impressions , but these make him almost blind and deaf , because our sight only registers about one percent of visible light and our hearing only about one percent of audible sound .

I was dreaming that I was visiting with my mother - in - law here at my home my husband was asleep in our bed I started smelling earth and hearing a sinister voice saying he ’ s mine and all of a sudden my husband was floating out the bedroom and I was trying to push him down to the floor and was having difficulty doing this and he was taken out the house and I woke up - Anna - Tony ' s Assistant 2016 - 03 - 11 8 : 50 : 37 Dear Amy – When you dream you can create a reflection of your fears , your hopes , beliefs , intuition , ( unconscious ) thoughts you have had , feelings etc . on the screen of your sleeping mind . Your dream expresses the idea of losing your husband while he may not be aware of the possibility of you and him “ drifting apart ” , because he is sleeping in your dream . Because “ earth ” is a symbol for “ the mother ” – it depicts the soil , the genetic material , and the background from which we have sprung – and because his mother is present in the dream , you could explore if you are aware that his mother has difficulties letting go off her son .

I was at least 100 feet up into the air looking down at everyone circling around them all as the looked up at me . In my dream I felt a very unusual high within my body and spirit . When I awoke from my dream , I was on the same high for Tony Crisp 2011 - 02 - 03 12 : 12 : 44 Candace – An unusual dream . Although I am not sure about the words ‘ power ’ and ‘ control ’ . That does n ’ t feel as if it is about a spiritual high . I say that because usually it feels as if you are in touch with everyone and in an equal position , even though you are much enlarged in your view . Have you felt in other people power , and maybe that is why you had this lovely dream ? Tony | [

http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/monkey/ | Monkey Foolishness ; thoughtlessness ; being ruled by impulse ; ones instincts ; the frivolous surface workings of the mind or expression of frivolous emotion – or impulsive difficult to control urges ; greediness and self - centredness ; being irrational in the sense of being stupid ; mimicking or aping other people or the group , thus being a follower ; the struggle involved in becoming conscious . The monkey can also sometimes depict your primal animal self that existed prior to developing self awareness . So it can indicate the sexual and feeling conditions underlying your present socialised personality . It can in this phase be a wonderful and wise aspect of yourself . Therefore it is sometimes the same as ape . See Mammal Brain What view have you of it , whether it excites , disgusts or frightens you . Is it funny because it exhibits some aspect of human nature so openly , like monkeys making love in public ? Is it to be envied because it is so honest , like the dog growling at someone it does n ’ t like or is frightened of , and giving obvious affection to someone it has a link with ? With such straightforward questions you can arrive at what your dream monkey represents to you personally . White monkey : The white monkey is a wonderful representation of the mixture we may feel of our instincts and our collected human experience . The white monkey then becomes a wise teacher who shares insight into our behaviour in a way we can understand . It is , after all ourselves . Example : One was a monkey with a white ruff . They were like jewels but not expensive . Moving it produced an amazing display of colours . Sometimes just a sheet of colour , sometimes patterns of colour and radiated light . Never the same colour or pattern . The man explored his dream and wrote , “ I entered the image of the White Haired monkey . I saw things from the vision of the White Haired . It was so simple , so organic and life filled . I am only a finger of life , only a tiny part of the organic , living , whole . I am only one member of a large group . Life , through its living organism , cares . In the group of monkeys , if the mother dies , a sister or brother cares for the baby . I have left my children . But I am only a cell in the body of life . Life cares through its members . Another , others , will come to care . Life moves us to each other . And the elders of a group , while they fulfill their own needs , realise that the children must ever be cared for . That is the concern of not just me , but of all of us as adults . My children , my lovers children , are not just my concern , they are the children of all I had a vision of the group , no longer rigid with morals , but mobile with the simple wisdom of life . Each person was intertwined with others . And arms coupled a baby while the lips kissed someone else , while the feet were held by another . As an adult my life is mine to choose , but even if I choose to lead a life apart from my family , it does not absolve me from caring for the children of my own body , and the body of others . As adults , John and I are Co - Carers for and of the children . But at the same time I am not totally responsible for my children . They are also the children of Life . Life , through its members will care for them . Then I saw that as a man , in our society , one is judged by the social values of our times . People place values upon a man ’ s caring . As if some sort of caring were superior to another sort . As if a bank managers , or Prime Minister ’ s caring is superior to a road sweeper ’ s caring . And that is a terrible life . Terrible because the man , his woman , his children , may accept the judgment of the value of this man ’ s caring . But And I saw that John ( my lovers husband ) cared for his children , and he was a White Haired inasmuch as although my lover has chosen not to remain his woman , he has not let that interfere with the quality and extent of his caring such as he is capable of . I loved him for that . ” Example : The whole crux of the problem is in trying to be everything to someone . Since I have stopped trying to be everything to D . – husband , lover , supplier , strength – I find I have an easy , very relaxed , loving and growing relationship with her . Yet I am trying to be more than I can be with S . The wisdom of the White Monkey was hell . If we let it , Life , through its members , intertwines . One person ’ s breast feed us , and others steady as someone else ’ s intelligence communes with us , while our own being likewise mingles variously in many lives . The secret is today what I can and do in the lives I contact . And also to let other lives come to me , D , S and all our children . Example : From there I began to see human caring . It was as if I felt myself to be one of a group of monkeys . Within the group life was lived out of ones inner simplicity . But certain aged monkeys could attain a different level of awareness . They were called the White Haired Ones . I could become a White Headed One , but I would have to die in the sense of relinquishing my personal desires , fears and goals . Was I willing to do this ? It had elements of risk . It I became a White Hair . I saw from the vision of the White Haired . It was so simple , so organic and life - filled . I am only a finger of life , only a tiny part of the organic , living , whole . I am only one member of a large group . Life , through its living organism , cares . In the group of monkeys , if the mother dies , a sister or brother cares for the baby . Each individual is only one cell in the whole body . If that Example : In this state there was an awareness of being connected with everything around me , in the beginning of creation . This was the first day . Also I was aware of what I felt was a monkey running to keep up with what was me . It was what I had always thought of as the real me , and it was nothing but a monkey that wanted to be the real thing but could n ’ t . The monkey me was a photocopy of everything we believe , not the reality . Our conscious mind Example : I dreamt a small animal was clinging to my chest . It gave me the strong feeling of its animal nature , and was like a small bulging eyed monkey or lemur . As it clung it had one of my hands held firmly in its mouth using it as a teat . Its teeth were slightly painful . I knew it did this on account of being frightened , and I , with others , was taking its back from where it had escaped . The dream clearly shows the vulnerably ‘ mammalian ’ feelings of the dreamer , and how this part of him is frightened and lost in the human world . Example : I suddenly remembered I had forgotten the monkey and had this feeling of dread and guilt that there was this thing in my care and I had forgotten it . This feeling was very strong . Then someone told me the monkey was here and had followed me . I then had this flash back in my dream and I saw what had happened as the monkey had followed me . I had driven in a car and the monkey had constantly run behind the car hiding behind objects ( e.g. fences , gates , lampposts ) all I called the monkey and it came out from its hiding place and ran towards me and jumped into my arms . This part was very significant to me as it was running towards me I had a fear it would hurt me maybe bite me but as it came into my arms it was soft and affectionate . This happens again in the dream at least twice more . I would forget about the monkey but as soon as I remembered it and call it , it would appear . It would always follow me but would only come I feel your dream is portraying something special about how you relate to yourself . Sometimes the monkey is described as being thoughtless mischief maker , but I see something else in your dream . It is that ‘ something else ’ that has caused you to feel such strong feelings of dread and guilt . In fact there is a lot of love linking you with it and it to you . And I think it could bring tears if you recognise what part of you it is . That you forgot the monkey shows a struggle between you and the small creature that was willing to keep up with you . It is , I believe , an ancient struggle that few people are aware of . It is the struggle that goes on in each of us between our animal self and our cultured , educated and often tortured mind . Yet it is not a war , but a simple request to be recognised , respected and given a place in your life . It is a dramatic struggle involved in becoming a conscious and mature person . The struggle is in gradually emerging from the impulsive animal tendencies such as we see in social hierarchy , religious and political groups , one nation fighting another . So the monkey can depict your primal animal self that existed prior to developing self awareness . It can indicate the sexual and feeling conditions underlying your present socialised personality . But the monkey is also very wise with an instinctive wisdom millions of years old . If you can meet it and help it arise out of its instinctive responses , it gives you wisdom in exchange for the love it gives you . After all , what is human life but a gradual emergence from the processes of life , and often a complete denial of our ancient heritage ? Idioms : Make a monkey of ; monkey business ; monkey with ; monkey tricks ; monkey ’ s uncle ; monkey on your back . Useful Questions and Hints : Does this monkey express wisdom or pettiness ? Try to define what is petty or wise about the monkey . What activity are you engaged in with the monkey , and what does this suggest / Are you accepting , rejecting or manipulating the monkey , and in what way does your activity reflect waking attitudes to your natural impulses ?

http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/rails-railway-train/ | Rails Railway Train Station Opportunity or choices in life ; your life direction if on train – or the direction the events in life are taking you , perhaps your direction of growth . Sometimes the train refers to the direction or events you are involved in with others , a train of events ’ in fact . Carriages : A particular compartments or facet of your life . The situation or environment you are in at the moment – perhaps with particular people . Leaving someone behind or being left behind : Feelings about loss of spouse ; or break - up of relationship ; being left ; change of some sort ; watching someone take a direction or get involved in things that mean parting . Lines or tracks : The rails themselves represent orthodoxy , the accepted way of going about things , moral values or a direction that is hard to change , and perhaps shared with others . Thus one can say someone has gone off the rails . A communal or generally accepted direction ; habitual pathways of thought or action ; rigidly fixed to certain attitudes or way of life ; inflexibility . Missing the train : feeling left out of opportunity ; sense of inadequacy ; held back by one ’ s own hesitations ; hidden desire to avoid change or to make one ’ s individual journey ; not connecting with an opportunity or events . Railroad crossing : A need for awareness and observation in case of danger . Possible block to progress . Conflict between your personal direction — the car – and the prescribed direction of the train . Railway station : Moving toward something new ; making a choice or having a choice of directions – directions that may need decision , planning and or choice ; changing scenes – i.e. from family to work environment ; leaving something behind – a relationship , one ’ s youth ; one ’ s ability to change ; effort to get somewhere in life or experience something new ; parting or meeting , saying farewell or waiting for someone ; changes in a relationship or work . The station can also depict the ‘ station ’ you have reached , or are Sometimes ‘ station ’ in your dream can mean your life state or station . So it is your present life situation . The station you try to reach is the place or situation you will arrive at when you bring your desires and actions under direction . The train journey : The aspect of our journey through life that has connections with other people and has a predetermined end unless you change trains . It is therefore limiting your individual will , and passing through certain stages . It may show a journey into self - awareness . And because you are being pulled along by a power other than your own efforts , it can refer to ageing and death – especially where there is a feeling of ‘ departing ’ or ‘ time of departure ’ ; the train of thought or experiences that carry us through life The journey might be one you remember making in the past , or meeting someone from a previous journey . These can both refer to influences in your present life from prior to your birth . Ticket : See ticket Train engine : The energy that takes us through life ; libido . Example : I lived in a village / town at the foot of a huge mountain . I felt desperate and that I had to do something – I must climb the mountains straight away . I ran away from home , family , to straightaway start to climb the mountain . The beginning of the journey was on a train . Although it had been night and raining , now it was light and blue sky . As the train slowly climbed the mountain , I looked out on the scenery behind us . There were strange rock formations Idioms : Go off the rails ; lose track of something ; make tracks for ; on somebody ’ s track . See : airport ticket Useful Questions and Hints : If I was on a train , where was I going ? Did anything important happen on the train ? Did you or did you not have a ticket ?

It involves stairs , a blonde lady , crowds , streets , a town which seems to be by the sea – and seeing the railways line , or sign to the station but not finding the way . Tony Crisp 2018 - 05 - 21 12 : 56 : 27 Sylvia – Your dream involves a blonde lady , crowds , streets , a town – which appear to be the general ‘ rush ’ of life activity – is that what you are trying to get away from at the station . But in fact you are by the sea , the great ocean of Life that dreams offer . Wheras going by train is the accepted way of going about things , moral values or a direction that is hard to change , and perhaps shared with others .

Some trains are arriving and some leaving . We do not board any train but start walking on the tracks going outside the station . At one point all tracks join together and we are walking hand in hand on the single track that is left leaving the station far behind us . Still trying to figure out the significance .

But your togetherness keeps you together as a couple so you carry on . Railways tracks usually indicate orthodoxy , the accepted way of going about things , moral values or a direction that is hard to change . And although you are not on the tracks , nevertheless you follow an orthodox life direction . But the many tracks become one , suggesting that you are both becoming much more at one with each other , a united couple . - D Reynolds 2018 - 01 - 08 11 : 48 : 09 I have 3 cat ’ s and in my dream I swapped my cats for 3 new cats only the cats all looked like German Sheppard ’ s .

I believe when we care for animals it can trigger a huge parental urge . I watched one of my cats being born , handled him straight away . Watched his eyes become seeing , saw him learning to grow from babyhood to the magnificent cat he was . And then saw his lifeless battered body when he was run over . I bawled as if it was my son . Your love and care for your animal can trigger your mothering / parenting instincts with a vengeance . Being female holds with it an enormously increased anxiety about your baby / cats . You see all manner of things that might be a threat , and I believe that is what such dreams shows . Your imagination for such dangers is enormously increased . - Tejal 2017 - 12 - 11 15 : 42 : 00 I dreamed something like this . . I and another guy were walking on the platform and i suddenly get down at the track and then later was at the platform with the help of that guy . . What it means … ! ? - PJ 2017 - 11 - 16 18 : 14 : 33 I had a dream that I am travelling with some one I am in a love with . Then that person gets down at a station and I spot her with another person . I do not confront but I see in a secret way through other compartments . What does this mean ? 2017 - 11 - 17 14 : 39 : 35 Hi – The answers I give arise not out of me thinking up things to say , but from fifty years of exploring dreams in depth . So some of what I write may seem wild . This may be because dreams arise and are experienced by a level of your mind or awareness that very few people have any concept or experience of – usually called the unconscious . Life dreamt in its creatures millions of years before even humankind awoke and developed self awareness or language . So to understand dreams we need to leave our thinking minds But it would help you to understand your dreams , if you would read – and also which has so much information in . Nothing can replace your own ability to understand your dream . With a little effort you can do this by practising what is described in – http : / / dreamhawk . com / dream - encyclopedia / acting - on - your - dream / # BeingPersonor PJ – Love is not something you are in control of as a person , for it had its beginning in your infancy , and was further chiselled in you in childhood . So your ability to love was shaped by your childhood experiences . A baby attempts to form a living bond with its mother . In all mammals this level of connection is vital . Without it the baby will die unless it forms that bond with another adult who will act as a guide , an encourager and someone who has wider sympathies of awareness than the missed mother / father . If that is disturbed in any way by a lack of love at any time , it leaves great pain and inability to love . Literally the baby or child fears it will die without that love . That is I remember a man driving many miles to consult me because , as he said , “ My wife is going to leave me if I do not change . ” He explained that his wife said that he was so jealous that if she talked to another man it would cause a row . So , I asked him to remember the first time he felt like that . It took him a while before he said , “ I was about five ” . I then explained that he had not learnt to grow emotionally since then . So ask yourself as you searched through the secret ways through other compartments of your life whether your ‘ love ’ is like that . If you are in that situation , ask yourself when you first felt like that , and trace it backwards . - Amritha 2017 - 06 - 16 4 : 04 : 27 Hello , I dreamt I was at the railway station with a close friend , beginning a much awaited trip .

With a little effort you can do this by practising what is described in – or Jessica – There are so many questions I have that are unanswered in your description . For example , was the clown on the train as the doors closed ? If so what was your point of view , and have you seen the mentions of scary clowns in the news recently ? The clown in dreams can be many things ; lishness and playfulness , to feeling stupid or idiotic , perhaps even treated as inadequate . The clown tends to take the most ridiculous or tragic course of actions , so at times can remind us of our own misdirected path . Sometimes the clowns face or clothes are a disguise for pain or sadness , or that you feel you have been made a fool of , or paraded in front of others in a way to be ridiculed .

The dream may be showing feelings of stress or tension that could lead to events best for you to avoid . The event might be a relationship break - up , a work crisis , or whatever is suggested in a dream – or caused by a relationship or work break up , probably involving a change of scene . The elephants are about an inner conflict you are experiencing . It shows that you are avoiding and running away from you own strength .

http://dreamlifemyrtlebeach.com/fees-associated-buying-condo/ | Browse : Home Blog What Fees are Associated With Buying a Condo ? What Fees are Associated With Buying a Condo ? Leave a Comment Each condo development is unique Before we talk about condominium fees , let ’ s first define what makes a condo a condo . A condo development or community can actually take on many physical forms . Some condo developments are set up like apartment style units . Others look like townhouses or even a converted property that was once a single or multi - family dwelling . What makes a condominium development different from other multi - tenant structures is that a developer has legally declared that that the development is a condominium community . Most state have special rules that are designed to regulate condo developments , and because of this , there must be a legal declaration by the developer that What Are You Actually Purchasing When You Buy a Condo ? When you purchase a condo you purchase the title to your individual unit . Legally this includes everything ‘ up to the walls ’ but not including them . Some people refer to condos as ‘ boxes in the air ’ . Common areas of condominium communities including the dividing walls , the stairwells , outer walls , pools etc ; these areas are all shared under common ownership . Each individual owner shares an ‘ interest ’ in these spaces and with that comes a responsibility to share in the maintenance of those spaces . Buying A Condo When you buy a condo you will have to pay common fees associated with any real estate purchase such as the down payment and closing costs on your loan , as well as any other fees associated with procuring the loan . You will also be responsible for paying property taxes on your new condo , as well as fees that will be owed on a monthly or yearly basis to your condo association . What are Condo Association Fees ? Condo association fees are the shared fees that each individual owner must pay towards the upkeep , maintenance and repairs of the common areas . These fees are different for each condo development , which is why it ’ s important to request information about fees before you ever make an offer on a unit . Some developments have relatively low association fees , while others are much higher . Each condominium association determines its fee schedule based on a wide variety of factors . Some of these include calculations related to how many units are occupied , typical operating expenses for building maintenance or repair , as well as how large each individual unit is . Developments with many amenities will probably have higher association fees than smaller developments with less common areas . Special Assessments Special assessments are fees charged , usually on a one time basis , to pay for unexpected repairs , needed renovations or other unplanned expanses . These costs are split amongst all owners and are equally shared . Assessment fees are unpredictable , and every condo owner will probably be faced with them at one time or another , however , before buying a condo it is appropriate to ask if the condo association keeps a ‘ reserve fund ’ for unplanned expenses . Associations who save money in a reserve fund are less likely to have to go to For more information on the buying process including a current Myrtle Beach Market update click here .

http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/fallingdreams.pl?method=exact&header=dreamid&search=fallingintro | falling dreams Tweet fallingintro " I ' m Falling " Falling dreams are another theme that is quite common in the world of dreams . Contrary to a popular myth , you will not actually die if you do not wake up before you hit the ground during a fall . As with most common dream themes , falling is an indication of insecurities , instabilities , and anxieties . You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life . This may reflect the way you feel in your relationship or in your work environment . You have lost your foothold and keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life . When you fall , there is nothing that you can hold on to . You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control . This lost of control Falling dreams also often reflect a sense of failure or inferiority in some circumstance or situation . It may be the fear of failing in your job / school , loss of status , or failure in love . You feel shameful and a lost sense of self - esteem You are unable to keep up with the status quo and feel that you do n ' t measure up . According to Freudian theory , dreams of falling indicate that you are contemplating giving in to a sexual urge or impulse . You are lacking indiscretion . Falling dreams typically occur during the first stage of sleep . Dreams in this stage are often accompanied by muscle spasms of the arms , legs , and the whole body . These sudden contractions are also known as myclonic jerks . When you sometimes have these falling dreams , you may feel your whole body jerk or twitch and actually awaken from this jerk . It is thought that this jerking action is part of an arousal mechanism that allows you to wake up quickly and be on the alert to possible threats in the environment . According to biblical interpretations , dreams about falling have a negative overtone . It is believed that such dreams relate to how you are acting and walking , according to his own way of thinking and not those of the Lord . other common dream themes : chase dreams cheating dreams death dreams falling dreams flying dreams naked dreams snake dreams teeth dreams test dreams Tweet Common Dreams Naked Dreams Chase Dreams Teeth Dreams Flying Dreams Falling Dreams Exam Dreams | [

http://drericz.com/diabetes-oils/ | health Essential Oils for Diabetes : 6 Tips for Better Management Medically Reviewed by Eric Zielinski , DC ( Dr . Z ) Last updated on November 14th , 2018 Although there is n ’ t a defined cure , diabetes can be managed with diet and lifestyle and , often , medication . One way to boost its management is with essential oils for diabetes , used in various ways to improve insulin sensitivity , manage body composition , and improve overall digestive wellness . Diabetes is one of the more widespread metabolic , chronic illnesses of our time . It ’ s estimated that around 10 % of the population is diagnosed with diabetes , while another 8 million people likely have it without being diagnosed . ( 1 In this article , you ’ ll learn about : Essential Oils for Diabetes and the Body Aromatherapy and Essential Oils for Diabetes 6 Ways to Use Essential Oils for Diabetes Management Essential Oils for Diabetes and the Body For a refresher on what diabetes is and how it works in the body , we can look to the American Diabetes Association for their summary of the more common variation of diabetes , type 2 : If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not use insulin properly . This is called insulin resistance . At first , your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it . But , over time it is n ’ t able to keep up and ca n ’ t make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels . ( 2 On the other hand , type 1 diabetes is genetic and behaves differently : In type 1 diabetes , the body does not produce insulin . The body breaks down the sugars and starches you eat into a simple sugar called glucose , which it uses for energy . Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body . ( 3 It ’ s important to have an understanding of the disease itself before we adjust our habits and supplemental efforts in response . For example , if you are using an essential oil with the goal of improving insulin sensitivity for type 2 diabetes , understanding that exercise can have a similar and even more potent result will help you make safe choices and avoid bottoming out . On the other hand , if you are a type 1 diabetic , no amount of insulin sensitivity will correct a lack of insulin . Therefore , the information in this article is relevant to type 2 diabetics specifically and , when I state to “ diabetes , ” I refer to type 2 diabetes . Diabetes can have very serious and life - threatening complications , from poor wound healing to cardiovascular events . Never adjust your medications without the guidance of your physician , and if you suspect you may be diabetic , schedule a consult with your doctor right away . Master the Art of Using Essential Oils at Home ! To help you reach your health goals with essential oils , please be sure to take the time to learn the fundamentals of aromatherapy . To help you do this , we have created a 10 - Part Video Masterclass that we want to give you an opportunity to watch for FREE . This is our gift to you for being part of our Natural Living Family All you need to do is reserve your spot by clicking HERE . We ' ll see you there ! Aromatherapy & Essential Oils for Diabetes Most of us are already familiar with substances that are beneficial for insulin sensitivity , with powdered cinnamon topping the list of kitchen remedies to help deal with blood sugar and diabetes . Aromatherapy has even more to offer – with some oils appearing to benefit the insulin response and others working to ease the symptoms that diabetes can cause . For using essential oils for diabetes , the key is to think outside of the box . ( 4 ) If you are working toward weight loss to relieve the severity of your diabetes , then diffusing essential oils that energize and potentially benefit weight loss might be the way to go . If you ’ re trying to help a wound heal while diabetes hinders the process , an antiseptic and healing oil in a topical formula could do the trick . Essential oils for diabetes are best used as integrative components of our wellness routines . For the diabetic who now focuses their lifestyle toward managing both the causes and symptoms of the disease , having such a versatile toolkit can be a lifeline . Here are some of the most useful essential oils for diabetes . 6 Ways to Use Essential Oils for Diabetes Management 1 . Culinary Cinnamon Essential Oil Probably the most researched of the essential oils for diabetes relief , cinnamon in general refers to a group of trees whose leaves or inner bark are distilled for its essential oil or the bark harvested as a spice . There are multiple varieties of the Cinnamon tree , including C . cassia , which we usually refer to as simply cassia when used for its essential oil . The most heavily researched “ angle ” for cinnamon and diabetes is that of the powdered spice , with a great deal of focus placed on it for pancreatic support , glucose lowering , weight loss , and general diabetes prevention and management . ( 5 Research of essential oils for diabetes is moving through the best applications and preparations , though , and essential oils have made their appearance in the literature . In 2013 , an evaluation of cinnamon leaf essential oil found that “ all tested doses of [ cinnamon essential oil ] significantly lowered fasting blood glucose and fructosamine . ” ( 6 ) The researchers pointed to pancreatic support as the likely mechanism leading to the blood sugar benefits . We do n ’ t have an exact directive from studies and research to tell us how to maximize cinnamon ’ s potential for diabetic wellness , but we can glean some helpful tidbits : Internal use seems to be the most effective . Cinnamon in all forms appears to lower blood sugar . A little dab ’ ll do ! Takeaway : Cinnamon essential oil may join the diabetic ’ s arsenal of culinary weapons against glucose . One or two drops for an entire day is a safe and sufficient amount – dilute it into a lipid and include it in recipes . Remember , cinnamon is a strong oil and can be an irritant if not used properly . Be sure to monitor your blood sugar carefully when using cinnamon in any form , and consult with your doctor before adjusting medication . Your body might just respond a little TOO well to cinnamon ’ s strengths ! 2 . Blended Essential Oils for Diabetes for Insulin Sensitivity One of the most intriguing things about essential oils for diabetes is the effect of synergy , which is the phenomenon in which combinations of oils work together to make even stronger effects . That ’ s why we ’ re so frequently making blends and formulas of essential oils for diabetes rather than just using one here and another there . Teamwork makes the dream work , right ? One prominent study out of Georgetown in 2005 took note of the benefits of synergy when they studied essential oils for diabetes . Instead of isolating a single oil for their research , they experimented with blends of multiple oils that have been suggested as beneficial essential oils for diabetes . Oils named in the summary included ( 7 ) : Fenugreek ( Trigonella foenum - graecum Cinnamon Cinnamomum zeylanicum ) Cumin ( Cuminum cyminum Oregano Origanum vulgare The essential oils for diabetes blends were able to improve insulin sensitivity when taken internally , which can be replicated by including oil blends diluted into a carrier and consumed in capsules , drinks , and recipes . As a side note , surely it ’ s no accident that culinary herbs play a role in improving the way we digest and use food ! God ’ s medicine has been right there around our dinner plates all along ! Takeaway : As you discover oils that can be a ) used internally and b ) used to improve causes like insulin sensitivity or symptoms of any sort , experiment with blends ! Pre - mix your dilution by adding a few drops each of the oils you ’ d like to blend into a 5 ml or 10 ml bottle of a carrier oil 3 . Melissa Essential Oil for Glucose Regulation Like cinnamon , some herbs and their essential oil are simply regarded as anti - diabetic . Those are the words anyone with a diagnosis or pre - diagnosis of diabetes wants to hear ! Let ’ s fight this disease right at its core , where the body stops short of breaking down glucose into usable energy . Like most early research , Melissa essential oil was tested on mice for precise tracking of its actions and potential benefits . Lab tests can first tell us the composition of oils , then how it is generally received in a body , and later how the human body responds in various circumstances . The results of this study in particular were published in 2010 with exciting news . Of the mice that received a low - dose , heavily diluted amount of Melissa essential oil , markers of diabetes were reduced in multiple facets . Ultimately , the researchers concluded that Melissa administered at low concentrations is an efficient hypoglycaemic agent , probably due to enhanced glucose uptake and metabolism . ” 8 Once more , we see that it only takes minute amounts of these potent digestive health oils to make a potentially substantial difference for those battling blood sugar imbalances by using essential oils for diabetes . Takeaway : One drop is plenty , included in blends or diluted on its own for digestive assistance and potential glucose regulation . As with all hypoglycemic / anti - diabetic substances , be sure to monitor your levels carefully and work with your doctor closely . MORE ESSENTIAL OIL USES & RECIPES !

Korean Pine for a New Scent with Strong Benefits Moving away from the expected culinary herbs and their essential oil content , it seems you can still maintain anti - diabetic benefits while also branching out . Still very much in the foundational levels of research , Korean pine ( Pinus koraiensis ) has also exhibited potential for diabetes relief . In the same vein as the Christmas favorite and year ‘ round healer fir essential oil , Korean pine essential oil comes from the needles of an evergreen pine tree . It ’ s woodsy and grounding , the perfect addition to a blend of anti - diabetic oils we ’ ve looked at so far . Researchers tackled this oil in 2013 , very much in vitro , by injecting the oil into lab mice . The results were promising , with effects on the body that led to improved glucose levels . ( 9 ) We wo n ’ t be injecting essential oils , of course , but this demonstrates the wide range of oil types that may be part of our anti - diabetes toolkit . Takeaway : Do n ’ t feel restricted with your diabetes - fighting blends ! Look for oils like Korean Pine to mix up your approach . If it ca n ’ t be taken internally , enjoy diffusion or direct inhalation to begin to introduce the oil into your routine . 5 . Using Essential Oils for Diabetes for Side Effects of Diabetes This is where we really get to play with essential oils for diabetes and the diabetic management lifestyle . Diabetes is so much more than how cookies or cakes are used by the body . Any time nutrient use is involved , the whole body is affected . Complications of diabetes can include : Heart health Oral health Respiratory health Skin health Immune health In other words , diabetes is a case study in the ways that each body system is intertwined with the others . Using what we know about essential oils for diabetes to boost these systems and potential complications , we can counter the effects of diabetes while managing the source of the issue with medication , diet , and lifestyle . We can take this to its logical end and get creative with skin health and healing oils , oils for oral health , clear breathing oils , and antimicrobials . For a more specific look at how essential oils for diabetes comprise complementary therapy , a systematic review had this to say about research that has been conducted : Essential oils can be used to reduce the side effects of some complication ( ulcer : loss of skin integrity ) and to reduce that often take longer to resolve than in non diabetic patients . Essential oil [ s ] can also ameliorate the stress of the coping with a lifelong chronic condition such as diabetes . 10 The applications are endless here . If you or a loved one is diabetic , learn all you can about the various uses of essential oils for diabetes , and begin to incorporate them into your life . The healing , restorative , and preventative benefits can quickly become your most trusted ally . Takeaway : Diabetes complications can occur throughout the body , and essential oils can help to counter these issues and support the body ’ s intended processes . Look for anti - inflammatory , antimicrobial , and stress relieving oils as a start to your essential oil “ medicine ” cabinet . 6 . Quality of Life Improvement for Kids with Diabetes Let ’ s not forget the kids who are impacted by diabetes . As a primarily genetic disorder , diabetes is n ’ t about who ate too much cake as they got older . Kids are affected to the tune of thousands , and many of them spend their lives in and out of doctor ’ s offices getting poked and prodded , not to mention those who receive daily injections . Very recently , published in August 2015 , researchers published findings on the use of essential oils for diabetes to help relieve some of this stress and physical pain for kids with diabetes . Thankfully ( and hardly surprising ) , markers for pain relief were noticeable thanks to diffused orange and lavender oils . ( 11 Incidentally , these oils are notable for their anxiety - relieving properties , as well , which only contributes to quality of life for kids who are faced with more than their little lives should have to deal with . Takeaway : Diffusion of oils can help with anxiety relief and even direct pain relief , and even the most gentle of oils can be potent for this purpose . Diffuse oils during times when painful or frustrating procedures are necessary , or place drops on a handkerchief or other personal inhaler to “ sniff ” when needed . Become a Natural Living Guru !

Continue Shopping Search for : Written by Mark Hyman , MD Views 189664 Why Overeating Does n ’ t Make You Fat ( and What Does ) The human body is designed to gain weight and keep it on at all costs . Our survival depends on it . Until we acknowledge that scientific fact , we will never succeed in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight . Doctors and consumers alike believe that overeating and gluttony are the causes of our obesity epidemic . Science tells a different story : it is not completely your fault you are overweight . Powerful genetic forces control our survival behavior . They are at the root of our weight problems . Our bodies weight control systems were designed to produce dozens of molecules that make us eat more and gain weight whenever we have the chance , not to lose it . We have evolved over hundreds of thousands of generations under conditions of food scarcity , not overabundance . Our genes and molecules that control our eating behavior were shaped by those times . Basically – we are genetically designed to accumulate fat based on the days when we had to forage for food in the wild . Ignoring that fact becomes hazardous to both our health and our waistlines . Furthermore , the food industry and our government ’ s recommendations are fueling this feeding frenzy . We can not expect to change our instinctual responses to food any more than we can eliminate a feeling of terror when confronted with danger . Think about this : We have hundreds of genes that protect us from starvation , but very few that protect us from overeating . All seems backward , does n ’ t it ? If we remain genetically engineered to gain weight , then it would seem that we are wired incorrectly . Why would we be designed to overeat and grow fat ? It all comes down to the oldest and most primitive part of our brain , our limbic , or “ lizard , ” brain . This is the part of your brain that evolved first , and it ’ s like a reptile ’ s brain . It governs your survival behaviors , creating certain chemical responses that you have no conscious control over . While you might think you are in complete control of your mind , the truth is that you have very little control over the unconscious choices you make when you are surrounded by food . The key to a healthy metabolism is learning what those responses are , how they are triggered , and how you can stop them . You do n ’ t want to put yourself in the position of resisting the lure of a bagel . Your drive to eat it will overwhelm any willpower you might have about losing weight . It is a life - or - death experience in your mind , and the bagel will always win . One of the most important principles of weight loss is never to starve yourself . The question is whether or not you are eating enough of the right calories , not whether or not you are eating too many calories . What you need is a baseline for how much you have to eat to keep your body from going into starvation mode . The Reason Most Diets Fail The reason diets backfire almost all the time is because people restrict too much . That is to say , they allow the number of calories they consume to drop below their resting metabolic rate . This is the basic amount of energy or calories needed to run your metabolism for the day . For the average person it is about 10 times your weight in pounds . This is the baseline daily need for your body to simply exist ( meaning stay in bed and do n ’ t expend any energy ) . That ’ s not realistic for most of us . If you eat less than that amount ( which is what most diets mandate ) , your body instantly perceives danger and turns on the alarm system that protects you from starvation , slowing your metabolism . As a consequence , your body goes into starvation mode and triggers the signal to eat . So you start eating and eating , and inevitably , you stop the diet — it ’ s the classic rebound weight gain scenario . Just think of what happens when you skip breakfast , work through lunch , and finally return home in the evening : you eat everything in sight . Then you feel stuffed , sick , and guilty and you regret ever entering the kitchen in the first place . Why would you possibly want to overeat and make yourself sick ? Most of us are reasonable people and know that we should n ’ t overeat . We have done it before , wished we had n ’ t , and vowed never to do it again . Nonetheless , time after time , we repeat the same mistakes . Are we weak - willed , morally corrupt , and self - destructive ? Do we need years of therapy ? The answer is “ none of the above . ” The answer is in our genetic programming . This stuff is just too deep inside us to get away from . We are built to put on weight , and our bodies do n ’ t like it very much when we do n ’ t give them the calories they need . To make matters worse , when you lose weight , only about half of what is lost is fat ; the rest is valuable , metabolically active muscle ! Yet when someone regains weight , it is nearly complete fat . Remember , muscle cells burn 70 times more calories than fat cells . Therefore yo - yo dieting makes you lose a big part of your metabolic engine . We all know overweight people who say , “ I do n ’ t really eat that much , and I still ca n ’ t lose weight . ” They are n ’ t lying . When most people go on a diet , they are generally actually making themselves fatter . Each time they diet , they lose muscle . The diet usually fails , and when it does , the weight that is regained is fat . If you have been through a number of diets that have failed , your body has been through this process a number of times . In short , dieting makes you fat . You want to get away from the diet mentality . What you are undertaking is a way of eating , not a diet . The Problem with Willpower Whatever happened to old - fashioned willpower ? Everybody knows that the obesity epidemic is a matter of personal responsibility . People should exercise more self - control . They should avoid overeating and reduce their intake of sugar - sweetened drinks and processed food . There are no good foods or bad foods ; it ’ s everything in moderation . Right ? This sounds good in theory , except for one thing : New discoveries in science prove that processed , sugar - , fat - , and salt - laden food — food that is made in a plant rather than grown on a plant — is biologically addictive Remember the old potato chip commercial with the tag line “ Bet you ca n ’ t eat just one ” ? Bet you ca n ’ t imagine that kind of commercial for broccoli or apples . No one binges on those foods . Yet it ’ s easy to imagine a mountain of potato chips , a whole bag of cookies , or a pint of ice cream vanishing quickly in an unconscious , reptilian - brain eating frenzy . Broccoli is not addictive , but chips , cookies , ice cream , and soda can become as In the 1980s , First Lady Nancy Reagan championed the “ just say no ” approach to drug addiction . Unfortunately , that approach has n ’ t fared too well , and it wo n ’ t work for our industrial food addiction either . There are specific biological mechanisms that drive addictive behavior . Nobody chooses to be a heroin addict , cokehead , or alcoholic . Nobody chooses to have a food addiction either . These behaviors arise from primitive neurochemical reward centers in the brain that override normal willpower and , in the case of food addictions , overwhelm the ordinary biological signals that control hunger . Why is it so hard for obese people to lose weight despite the social stigma ; despite the health consequences such as high blood pressure , diabetes , heart disease , arthritis , and even cancer ; and despite their intense desire to lose weight ? Not because they want to be fat . It is because in the vast majority of cases , certain types of food — processed foods made of sugar , fat , and salt combined in ways kept secret by the food industry — are addictive . We are biologically wired to crave these foods and eat as much of them as possible . 10 Strategies to Stop Overeating and Lose Weight Fortunately , a number of tips can help you normalize your eating , so that you neither overeat nor under - eat . Thankfully , none of them involve counting calories ( or counting anything ! ) . Among the strategies that have helped thousands of my patients lose weight , keep it off , and reduce their risk for diabesity include : Cut out the processed stuff and eat real , whole foods . The single most important thing to lose weight and avoid overeating is to include as many real , whole , unprocessed foods in your diet as possible . Starting right now , make the switch to these foods to lose weight : vegetables , fruits , whole grains , beans , nuts , seeds , olive oil , organic , range , or grass - fed animal products ( poultry , lamb , beef , pork , eggs ) , and wild , smaller fish such as salmon . Eat breakfast . Skipping breakfast means you ’ re eventually starving , and throughout the day you eat much more food than needed to feel full . To optimize health and weight loss , you need to eat breakfast , to spread out food intake evenly throughout the day , and to not eat for at least two hours before bed . A recent study found that almost 3,000 people who lost an average of 70 pounds and kept it off for six years ate breakfast regularly . Only four percent of people who never ate breakfast kept the weight off . Eat mindfully . We need to be in a relaxed state for the nervous system of our gut or digestive system to work properly . Eating while we are stressed out makes us fat , both because we do n ’ t digest our food properly and because stress hormones slow metabolism and promote fat storage , especially of belly fat . We also tend to overeat when we eat quickly , because it takes the stomach 20 minutes to signal the brain that we are full . Moderate or eliminate alcohol . Taking a holiday from alcohol , besides getting rid of additional sugar calories , will help you tune in to your true appetite and prevent you from overeating . Become aware of trigger foods . For some of us , that one little soda can set us on a downward spiral to overeating and all of the negative health consequences that come with it . It is n ’ t just the processed , sugary foods and drinks that become triggers . But even healthy foods , if you have a tendency to binge on them , can quickly become unhealthy . A handful of almonds are perfectly healthy , but if you eat half the jar , they quickly become unhealthy . Keep a Journal . Journaling is an excellent way to get in touch with your inner motivations , to break the cycle of mindless eating and activity , to be honest and accountable and present to yourself . We often overeat because something is eating away at us . We stuff ourselves with food in order to stuff our feelings away . We use food to block feelings , but you can use words to block food . You can write in order to better metabolize your feelings so they do n ’ t end up driving unconscious choices or overeating . A diet Get sufficient sleep . Get eight hours of quality , uninterrupted sleep every night . You ’ ll find that you ’ re less prone to cravings and you will normalize fat - regulating hormones . One study found even a partial night ’ s sleep deprivation contributes to insulin resistance , paving the way for obesity and type 2 diabetes . Control stress levels . Most of us fail to notice the effects of the chronic stresses we live with every day : demanding jobs , marital tension , lack of sleep , too much to do and too little time to do it . I am sure the list goes on for many . Chronic stress makes us overeat , not to mention overeating the wrong kinds of food , which ultimately leads to weight gain . Learn to actively relax with meditation , yoga , deep breathing , or any other technique that helps you reduce stress . Exercise the right way . You ca n ’ t over - exercise your way out of a bad diet , but the right exercise can help you lose weight , maintain weight loss , and control your appetite so you do n ’ t overeat . Ideally you should do a minimum of 30 minutes of walking every day . Get a pedometer to track your steps . Wear it every day and set a goal of 10,000 steps a day . More vigorous and sustained exercise is often needed to reverse severe obesity and diabesity . Run , bike , dance , play this blog for a comprehensive , easy - to - implement exercise plan . Supplement smartly . Obesity and diabetes are often paradoxically states of malnutrition . It has been said that diabetes is starvation in the midst of plenty . The sugar ca n ’ t get into the cells . Your metabolism is sluggish , and the cells do n ’ t communicate as a finely tuned team . Nutrients are an essential part of getting back in balance and correcting the core problem — insulin resistance .

http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2011/05/tea-technique-how-to-brew-black-tea.html | Drinks Tea Tea Technique : How to Steep Black Teas Liz Clayton Profile Contact [ Photograph : Liz Clayton ] The black teas of your distant memory may reside somewhere near the fond mental lobes that contain grandmothers , mothballs , and orange - infused - blends of tinned tea joined by little milk pitchers . Or perhaps they ' re more contemporary , among the ranks of food - service - grade teabags served with water that seems almost supernaturally hot . Your black tea experience need not dwell here forever : a well - steeped cup of black tea can be yours to savor unadulterated by creams or chipped china — unless that ' s , you know What we call " black tea " is known in much of Asia as " red tea " — referring more to the color in the cup than the blackened appearance of the fully oxidized leaves before brewing . It may also be useful to distinguish between the origins of black teas , such as Chinese ( whose leaves are picked earlier and withstand more oxidation ) and black teas of other origins , e.g. Africa , India and Sri Lanka ( whose leaves are picked later and are less oxidized ) . The difference in processing methods of these That said , black teas can be brewed with just as much ease and versatility as any other — which is to say , go ahead and throw some in your gaiwan A clay yixing pot is also a fine way to experiment with black teas , though you ' ll want to dedicate a specific yixing to heavily oxidized teas like these — or even one specific type of black tea — since the pot is intentionally crafted to take on the flavors of the tea brewed in it over time . No matter what the black tea you ' re steeping , you ' ll use a hotter water than for most other teas — just off the boil , so somewhere around 195 - 205 degrees F . ( This means if you ' re using a gaiwan , you are oh so much more likely to scald yourself with any spilled tea , or even as you grip the vessel , so this would be a great time to really perfect your technique ! ) For Chinese black teas , you can go ahead and fill the gaiwan with a generous dose of tea , filling the vessel about 1 / 4 full . Rinse the tea and dump the water , then refill with water and steep for 1 to 2 minutes . These teas can be reinfused up to two or even more times if the tea is particularly young , with your time parameters being adjusted to taste . For the other black teas , a smaller dose and longer steeping time are generally warranted . You may measure a teaspoon of leaves per 6 to 8 oz of water , rinse the leaves , and then steep for between 3 and 5 minutes . You ' ll know where you prefer to end the extraction by the depth of flavor and level of astringency you like best . As with all tea journeys , the final cup will tell you what you like most about each black tea , whether it ' s malty , creamy , orange , caramel or bright floral earthiness . Feel free to take all steeping guidelines as simply a beginner ' s road map , and play around with your time , dose and temperature . . .and try not to burn your tongue .

Joe Postma Profile Twitter Contact Photograph : Sarah Postma Get the Recipe Sorachi Ace and Simcoe IPA ( For Beginners ) American IPAs seem to get bigger , badder and bolder every year . A style that at one time was considered " too bitter " for the average beer drinker , it has now become a front - runner in the craft beer revolution . The IPA is pale to amber in color with a thick white head . It has strong citrus , pine and floral hop aromas and flavors to match , along with a lingering bitterness and solid malt character . The yeast flavor is typically clean , but occasionally a slight fruity , strawberry or bubblegum For homebrewers , the American IPA is the perfect style for exploring the flavors of different varieties of hops . Ever wondered what new hops like Citra or Nelson Sauvin taste like ? Or what flavors would come through when combining Sorachi Ace and Simcoe hops ? Making an IPA that showcases just one or two varieties of hops will really give you a feel for their different nuances . The Hops Hops that are assertive in both flavor and bitterness are the ingredient of choice for the American IPA . Go with Cascade , Simcoe , Amarillo , Columbus or other American hops for that classic IPA citrus character . Pine flavors can be achieved by using Chinook or Northern Brewer hops later in the boil . When brewing five gallons , adding one to two ounces of high alpha acid hops at the beginning of the boil will provide the base bitterness that you need . Later additions , which can be done at any point through out the boil , will develop the flavor and aroma characteristics of the beer . For an even hop character , add two more ounces of hops 20 minutes before the end of the boil and then a couple more ounces in the last minute . To create an powerful hop aroma and flavor , toss in 4 ounces Dry hopping is the perfect way to finish off the big aromas in an IPA . Adding two or more ounces of hops to the secondary fermentation will put an exclamation point on the flavor you ' re trying to achieve . The Malt Since the color of an IPA can range from pale straw to light red , there ' s a lot of flexibility in the malt bill . An IPA with 100 % 2 - row pale malt would accentuate the hops , but you may sweeten it up with some crystal malts . It ' s also not uncommon to see recipes that include other specialty malts such as Vienna , Munich , or honey malt , although you will want to avoid these " mash - only " malts if you brew extract recipes . My typical approach is to keep it simple : use mostly 2 - row pale malt ( or light extract ) with a half to a whole pound of crystal malt added . If you want to create a clean canvas to showcase the hops , use crystal 10 , but if you want a better balance between sweet and bitter , then use a combination of crystal 20 , 40 or 60 . The Yeast The yeast used in an American IPA should provide some fruity esters , but it should n ' t be a dominate flavor . Most American or English Ale yeasts will work just fine with fermentation temperatures between 63 ° and 68 ° F . Since the alcohol content of an IPA is generally 6 % or higher , a yeast starter should always be used when pitching liquid yeast . The strong hop flavors make this a style that you can easily substitute a dry yeast package without any noticeable flavor differences . If you use an 11.5 gram package of dry yeast , then a yeast starter is not necessary .

http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2012/01/diy-vs-buy-homemade-chocolate-liqueur-creme-de-cacao-with-cacao-nibs.html | Drinks Cocktails & Spirits DIY vs . Buy : Should I Make My Own Chocolate Liqueur ? DIY vs . Buy Fun projects for making cocktail ingredients at home . Marcia Simmons Photograph : Jackson Stakeman Get the Recipe DIY Chocolate Liqueur More All About Chocolate Everything you want to know about chocolate When I see the words " chocolate cocktail " or " chocolate martini " on a menu , I ' ll often launch into a ( ok , yeah , obnoxious ) tirade against hiding the taste of liquor in cocktails and serving 1,500 - calorie , alcoholic sugar bombs topped with whipped cream . Then , once I stop emitting sparks , I ' ll order one anyway . I love a spiked chocolate milkshake like it ' s family . But it was n ' t until I started experimenting with cacao nib infusions that I understood the cocktail possibilities of a chocolate liqueur , or creme de cacao . Cacao nibs are pieces of cacao beans that have been roasted , so they ' re basically like unsweetened chocolate before it ' s made into chocolate . Delicately sweet with a hint of bitterness , a homemade chocolate liqueur made with cacao nibs is like an expensive dark chocolate bar in my drink instead of like a jigger of Nestle Quik . What ' s Available to Buy Godiva is the chocolate liqueur guru — they have dark , milk , and white chocolate flavors along with caramel and mocha . Their dark chocolate version is the most flexible for mixing and , when used judiciously , works well in dry , spirit - forward cocktails as well as more sugary creations . The rest of Godiva ' s liqueurs , while delicious , are exclusively for dessert drinks , in my opinion . Mozart Black Chocolate has a higher cacao content for more of a bitter chocolate bite . It also performs like a champ in dry and sweet drinks , but those who do n ' t like super dark chocolate wo n ' t be a fan and will probably like the original formulation better . Bols , Hiram Walker , Marie Brizard , and DeKuyper all make creme de cacao , which is essentially also chocolate liqueur . They ' re a little easier to find than the Godiva and Mozart , and are available in both dark and white versions . What ' s the difference between dark and white creme de cacao ? Just the color — dark is brown ; white is clear . White creme de cacao comes in handy when adding brown to your drink would make it look unappetizing . Why DIY ? Store - bought chocolate liqueurs can be hit - or - miss in flavor , and the nicer ones can end up putting a dent in your budget . But the real reason to make your own is that you can customize it . When you buy a chocolate bar , you can choose the experience you ' ll have . Is today an 80 % cacao Madagascar dark chocolate day , or are you craving a Hershey ' s milk chocolate bar ? You can do the same thing with your DIY chocolate liqueur by deciding how much sugar you want to add to your infusion . I like to add vanilla , but you could go with a cinnamon stick or some almond extract . Maybe get a little creative and try some lavender or chiles ? You can also play around with the spirit base . Instead of the neutral vodka , you could go all out with a whiskey or rum . In my book , I even did a quick infusion of coconut rum and cacao nibs ( hold the sugar ) for an easy chocolate - coconut liqueur . If you love chocolate , you ' ll never get tired of playing with flavors for chocolate liqueur . You ' ll often see recipes for creme de cacao that call for cocoa powder . These make a liqueur that tastes good if you drink it right away , but it turns nasty when stored and does n ' t mix particularly well . So cacao nibs are worth the extra effort and wait . Get the Recipe DIY Chocolate Liqueur » Use It ! You can enjoy your new creation without getting too complicated . Just shake half an ounce of you chocolate liqueur with ice and 2 1 / 2 ounces of vodka or rum . Strain into a cocktail glass and enjoy ! It ' s also nice mixed with bourbon , garnished with a maraschino cherry and perhaps a splash of the juice from the jar . For a more complex drink , try the Averna Buena , which combines tequila , amaro , and chocolate in a sophisticated way . You can even make an ( almost ) totally DIY Grasshopper using your chocolate liqueur and homemade creme de menthe along with some cream . The recipe ' s easy : just add one ounce of each element to a cocktail shaker full of ice , shake , strain , and serve . Chocolate liqueur is also dessert magic : pour it on top of ice cream or cake and you ' ll see .

http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2012/02/what-is-single-malt-scotch-what-is-blended-whisky.html | Features Ingredient Guides More Breadcrumbs What Is the Difference Between Single Malt and Blended Whisky ? Cocktail 101 All the basics of the bar . Michael Dietsch Profile Twitter Facebook Contact An in - depth look at the similarities and differences between single - malt and blended whisky . To fully appreciate the vast world of blended scotch whisky , it ' s helpful to understand the distinction between single malt and blended whiskey . Consumers and even some bartenders have a misconception that single - malt Scotch is not a blended whisky , but this is a myth . Single - malt scotch is a blend , but it ' s a very specific type of blend . In fact , nearly all whiskies on the market today are blends — bourbons , ryes , Tennessees , scotches , etc . — although in this article I ' ll focus on Scotch . The confusion arises from the misunderstanding of two words — blend and single — words whose seeming simplicity mask a more complicated reality . What Is a Whisky Blend ? What we need to do here is to establish that there are two different ways to use the word blend — an informal way and a formal , or legal , way . Informally , a blend is a mixture — in this case , a mixture of two or more whiskies that are bottled and sold as one whisky . Formally , however , a blended whisky is a product that contains a mix of barrel - aged malt and grain whiskies . There ' s a common misconception that because a certain whisky is labeled " single malt , " it must be the product of just a single batch or barrel of whisky . This is incorrect . Most single malts , as you ' ll see , are a blend , in the sense that they ' re a mixture of whiskies . What Does Single - Malt Mean , Anyway ? Not the product of a single batch or a single barrel , but a single distillery . The root of all confusion lies in the simple word single . A single - malt scotch whisky is nothing more or less than the product of a single distillery . Not the product of a single batch or a single barrel , but a single distillery . A single - malt Lagavulin may contain whiskies from many barrels produced at the Lagavulin distillery , but it will contain only whiskies produced at Lagavulin . A single - grain scotch whisky varies only in that it contains barley and one or more other cereal grains , usually wheat or corn . Again , single is misleading here : it refers not to a product made from a single grain , but a product made at a single distillery . Variables , Consistency , and House Style When whisky is aged in oak barrels , a number of variables influence the final character of the spirit . A full discussion of these variables is beyond the scope of this article , but they include climate variations , where a barrel ages within its warehouse , and even variables in the quality of the oak used to make the barrels . Because so many variables influence the character of a barrel of whisky , nearly all whiskies on the market today are made by mixing barrels together to achieve a product that ' s consistent from one release to the next . A master blender at the distillery tastes through the barrels that are ready for release and mixes them to create a product consistent with the brand ' s flavor profile . Not every barrel produced at , say , Springbank or Glenmorangie will exactly fit the house style that consumers expect . To achieve that house style , then What Is Single Barrel Scotch A single - barrel scotch is the product of a single barrel of whisky , unmixed with whisky from other sources . Because the flavor , aroma , color , and other characteristics vary from barrel to barrel , each barrel release is a unique product . Single - barrel releases are therefore inconsistent from one release to the next . Not many of these exist in the scotch universe ( they ' re much more common in American whiskeys ) , but Balvenie has a couple of them available . Other Whisky Blends So we ' ve established that single malts are usually produced by blending whiskies from different barrels produced within a single distillery . What about all these other blends we hear about ? There are three types you ' ll encounter : Blended malt scotch whisky : Formerly called vatted malts , these are a blend of single malts from two or more distilleries . Companies such as Compass Box purchase whiskies and blend them to create new products with certain characteristics . Peat Monster , for example , is a Compass Box whisky that emphasizes the rich , smoky flavor of peat . Blended grain scotch whisky : A blend of single grains from two or more distilleries . Single grains are usually known for being light and mild , but some distilleries produce exceptional grain whiskies . Compass Box ' s Hedonism is a fine example of a blended grain scotch . Blended scotch whisky : What many consumers think of when they hear the word , blended scotches comprise 90 % of the scotch category in sales . A blended scotch is a mix of both malt whiskies and grain whiskies , sourced from several different distilleries . Brands include Johnnie Walker , Dewar ' s , Cutty Sark , J & B , and Chivas Regal .

http://driving-tests.org/beginner-drivers/how-to-remove-engine-sludge/ | Beginner Driver ' s Guide This Is What You Do about Engine Sludge – Complete Guide to Saving Your Car Updated June 17 , 2018 Engine sludge can be a very serious problem . Drivers whose cars develop engine sludge will often spend hundreds of dollars on costly repairs . Before you learn how to remove engine sludge , you need to know exactly what it is . Engine sludge develops on and around your vehicle ’ s motor when oil begins to break down and collects on the engine . When engine sludge is present , oil is not able to properly lubricate the moving parts of your vehicle ’ s motor . Some of the main causes for the buildup of engine sludge This kind of oil sludge is a huge contributor to internal combustion engine problems , and will require the engine to be replaced ( Greg Myers ) No matter what type of vehicle you drive or what your driving habits are , it is important to perform routine maintenance on your vehicle to prevent engine sludge . If you suspect that your vehicle has developed engine sludge , there are several simple tests that will help you make that determination . 4 Simple Steps to Identify Engine Sludge 1 Crank your vehicle . Check your dashboard to see if your check engine light is on . Also check for your oil change notification light . Either of these lights could be signals of engine sludge . 2 Turn off your vehicle and pop the hood . Walk to the front of your vehicle , open the hood and properly support it so that you can look at your vehicle ’ s engine . 3 First , look for any signs of oil splatter or engine sludge on the outside of your vehicle . Engine sludge looks like thick , dark oil and generally appears in small clumps . If you see engine sludge on the exterior of your engine , it is highly likely that you have an engine sludge problem . 4 Next , take a look inside your oil pan . Remove the oil cap from your oil pan and peer inside . You may need a flashlight to be able to see clearly . The contents of your oil pan should appear clean . Although the walls and parts will be covered in oil , they should still appear metallic silver underneath . Any sign of engine sludge in the oil pan is an indicator of high levels of engine sludge in your motor . By administering these simple tests , you should be able to determine if your car has engine sludge . If you found any sign of sludge during the above tests , you will need to ensure that the sludge is removed from your vehicle as soon as possible . The cost of having engine sludge removed from your vehicle will depend on the severity of the problem . In cases where engine sludge has developed to the point that a car no longer runs , the entire engine will have to be replaced . There are several things you can 4 Extra Tips to Prevent Engine Sludge 1 Make sure that you change your oil and oil filter on a regular basis . The development of engine sludge is directly related to how often you change your oil . Whether you change your oil yourself or take your vehicle to a mechanic , make sure that your engine ’ s oil is replaced according to the mileage increments suggested in your owner ’ s manual . This is what can happen if you neglect this advice : 2 Try to prevent stop and go driving . Walk or bike to work or school if you live only a short distance away . Short commutes are strenuous on your vehicle ’ s engine and can contribute to the buildup of engine sludge . 3 Purchase an engine sludge remover . Mechanics and car owners have varying opinions on the usefulness of these products but many individuals claim that they can help remove sludge . Engine sludge removers are available at most auto parts stores and can be used by following the simple instructions printed on the back of the bottle . Here is a short video to understand the process better : 4 Visit your mechanic . If you found large amounts of engine sludge while completing the above tests , it is probably a good idea to seek professional help to clean your engine . Engine sludge is a very common and also very costly problem . Proper maintenance is the most important key to the prevention of engine sludge . Keeping your engine clean and your oil changed will help your vehicle run great for years .

http://drjoecarver.makeswebsites.com/clients/49355/File/love_and_stockholm_syndrome.html | Love and Stockholm Syndrome : The Mystery of Loving an Abuser by Joseph M . Carver , Ph . D . , Clinical Psychologist People are often amazed at their own psychological conditions and reactions . Those with depression are stunned when they remember they ’ ve thought of killing themselves . Patients recovering from severe psychiatric disturbances are often shocked as they remember their symptoms and behavior during the episode . A patient with Bipolar Disorder recently told me “ I ca n ’ t believe I thought I could change the weather through mental telepathy ! ” A common reaction is “ I ca n ’ t believe I did that ! ” In clinical practice , some of the most surprised and shocked individuals are those who have been involved in controlling and abusive relationships . When the relationship ends , they offer comments such as “ I know what he ’ s done to me , but I still love him ” , “ I do n ’ t know why , but I want him back ” , or “ I know it sounds crazy , but I miss her ” . Recently I ’ ve heard “ This does n ’ t make sense . He ’ s got - Yes ! On August 23 rd , 1973 two machine - gun carrying criminals entered a bank in Stockholm , Sweden . Blasting their guns , one prison escapee named Jan - Erik Olsson announced to the terrified bank employees “ The party has just begun ! ” The two bank robbers held four hostages , three women and one man , for the next 131 hours . The hostages were strapped with dynamite and held in a bank vault until finally rescued on August 28 th After their rescue , the hostages exhibited a shocking attitude considering they were threatened , abused , and feared for their lives for over five days . In their media interviews , it was clear that they supported their captors and actually feared law enforcement personnel who came to their rescue . The hostages had begun to feel the captors were actually protecting them from the police . One woman later became engaged to one of the criminals and another developed a legal defense fund to aid in their criminal defense fees . Clearly , the hostages had “ bonded While the psychological condition in hostage situations became known as “ Stockholm Syndrome ” due to the publicity – the emotional “ bonding ” with captors was a familiar story in psychology . It had been recognized many years before and was found in studies of other hostage , prisoner , or abusive situations such as : Abused Children Battered / Abused Women Prisoners of War Cult Members Incest Victims Criminal Hostage Situations Concentration Camp Prisoners Controlling / Intimidating Relationships In the final analysis , emotionally bonding with an abuser is actually a strategy for survival for victims of abuse and intimidation . The “ Stockholm Syndrome ” reaction in hostage and / or abuse situations is so well recognized at this time that police hostage negotiators no longer view it as unusual . In fact , it is often encouraged in crime situations as it improves the chances for survival of the hostages . On the down side , it also assures that the hostages experiencing “ Stockholm Syndrome ” will not be very cooperative during rescue or criminal Stockholm Syndrome ( SS ) can also be found in family , romantic , and interpersonal relationships . The abuser may be a husband or wife , boyfriend or girlfriend , father or mother , or any other role in which the abuser is in a position of control or authority . It ’ s important to understand the components of Stockholm Syndrome as they relate to abusive and controlling relationships . Once the syndrome is understood , it ’ s easier to understand why victims support , love , and even defend their abusers and controllers . Every syndrome has symptoms or behaviors and Stockholm Syndrome is no exception . While a clear - cut list has not been established due to varying opinions by researchers and experts , several of these features will be present : Positive feelings by the victim toward the abuser / controller Negative feelings by the victim toward family , friends , or authorities trying to rescue / support them or win their release Support of the abuser ’ s reasons and behaviors Positive feelings by the abuser toward the victim Supportive behaviors by the victim , at times helping the abuser Inability to engage in behaviors that may assist in their release or detachment Stockholm Syndrome does n ’ t occur in every hostage or abusive situation . In another bank robbery involving hostages , after terrorizing patrons and employees for many hours , a police sharpshooter shot and wounded the terrorizing bank robber . After he hit the floor , two women picked him up and physically held him up to the window for another shot . As you can see , the length of time one is exposed to abuse / control and other factors are certainly involved . It has been found that four situations or conditions are present that serve as a foundation for the development of Stockholm Syndrome . These four situations can be found in hostage , severe abuse , and abusive relationships : The presence of a perceived threat to one ’ s physical or psychological survival and the belief that the abuser would carry out the threat . The presence of a perceived small kindness from the abuser to the victim Isolation from perspectives other than those of the abuser The perceived inability to escape the situation By considering each situation we can understand how Stockholm Syndrome develops in romantic relationships as well as criminal / hostage situations . Looking at each situation : Perceived threat to one ’ s physical / psychological survival The perception of threat can be formed by direct , indirect , or witnessed methods . Criminal or antisocial partners can directly threaten your life or the life of friends and family . Their history of violence leads us to believe that the captor / controller will carry out the threat in a direct manner if we fail to comply with their demands . The abuser assures us that only our cooperation keeps our loved ones safe . Indirectly , the abuser / controller offers subtle threats that you will never leave them or have another partner , reminding you that people in the past have paid dearly for not following their wishes . Hints are often offered such as “ I know people who can make others disappear ” . Indirect threats also come from the stories told by the abuser or controller – how they obtained revenge on those who have crossed them in the past . These stories of revenge are told to remind the victim that revenge is possible if they leave . Witnessing violence or aggression is also a perceived threat . Witnessing a violent temper directed at a television set , others on the highway , or a third party clearly sends us the message that we could be the next target for violence . Witnessing the thoughts and attitudes of the abuser / controller is threatening and intimidating , knowing that we will be the target of those thoughts in the future . The “ Small Kindness ” Perception In threatening and survival situations , we look for evidence of hope – a small sign that the situation may improve . When an abuser / controller shows the victim some small kindness , even though it is to the abusers benefit as well , the victim interprets that small kindness as a positive trait of the captor . In criminal / war hostage situations , letting the victim live is often enough . Small behaviors , such as allowing a bathroom visit or providing food / water , are enough to strengthen the Stockholm Syndrome in criminal hostage events In relationships with abusers , a birthday card , a gift ( usually provided after a period of abuse ) , or a special treat are interpreted as not only positive , but evidence that the abuser is not “ all bad ” and may at some time correct his / her behavior . Abusers and controllers are often given positive credit for not abusing their partner , when the partner would have normally been subjected to verbal or physical abuse in a certain situation . An aggressive and jealous partner may normally become intimidating or abusive in certain social situations , as when an opposite - sex coworker waves in a crowd . After seeing the wave , the victim expects to be verbally battered and when it does n ’ t happen , that “ small kindness ” is interpreted as a positive sign . Similar to the small kindness perception is the perception of a “ soft side ” . During the relationship , the abuser / controller may share information about their past – how they were mistreated , abused , neglected , or wronged . The victim begins to feel the abuser / controller may be capable of fixing their behavior or worse yet , that they ( abuser ) may also be a “ victim ” . Sympathy may develop toward the abuser and we often hear the victim of Stockholm Syndrome defending their abuser with “ I know he fractured Isolation from Perspectives Other than those of the Captor In abusive and controlling relationships , the victim has the sense they are always “ walking on eggshells ” – fearful of saying or doing anything that might prompt a violent / intimidating outburst . For their survival , they begin to see the world through the abuser ’ s perspective . They begin to fix things that might prompt an outburst , act in ways they know makes the abuser happy , or avoid aspects of their own life that may prompt a problem . If we only have a dollar in our pocket , then most of our Taking the abuser ’ s perspective as a survival technique can become so intense that the victim actually develops anger toward those trying to help them . The abuser is already angry and resentful toward anyone who would provide the victim support , typically using multiple methods and manipulations to isolate the victim from others . Any contact the victim has with supportive people in the community is met with accusations , threats , and / or violent outbursts . Victims then turn on their family – fearing family contact will cause additional violence and abuse in the home . In severe cases of Stockholm Syndrome in relationships , the victim may have difficulty leaving the abuser and may actually feel the abusive situation is their fault . In law enforcement situations , the victim may actually feel the arrest of their partner for physical abuse or battering is their fault . Some women will allow their children to be removed by child protective agencies rather than give up the relationship with their abuser . As they take the perspective of the abuser , the children are at fault – they complained about the situation , they brought the attention Perceived Inability to Escape As a hostage in a bank robbery , threatened by criminals with guns , it ’ s easy to understand the perceived inability to escape . In romantic relationships , the belief that one ca n ’ t escape is also very common . Many abusive / controlling relationships feel like till - death - do - us - part relationships – locked together by mutual financial issues / assets , mutual intimate knowledge , or legal situations . Here are some common situations : Controlling partners have increased the financial obligations / debt in the relationship to the point that neither partner can financially survive on their own . Controllers who sense their partner may be leaving will often purchase a new automobile , later claiming they ca n ’ t pay alimony or child support due to their large car payments . The legal ending of a relationship , especially a martial relationship , often creates significant problems . A Controller who has an income that is “ under the table ” or maintained through legally questionable situations runs the risk of those sources of income being investigated or made public by the divorce / separation . The Controller then becomes more agitated about the possible public exposure of their business arrangements than the loss of the relationship . The Controller often uses extreme threats including threatening to take the children out of state , threatening to quit their job / business rather than pay alimony / support , threatening public exposure of the victim ’ s personal issues , or assuring the victim they will never have a peaceful life due to nonstop harassment . In severe cases , the Controller may threaten an action that will undercut the victim ’ s support such as “ I ’ ll see that you lose your job ” or “ I ’ ll have your automobile burned ” . Controllers often keep the victim locked into the relationship with severe guilt – threatening suicide if the victim leaves . The victim hears “ I ’ ll kill myself in front of the children ” , “ I ’ ll set myself on fire in the front yard ” , or “ Our children wo n ’ t have a father / mother if you leave me ! ” In relationships with an abuser or controller , the victim has also experienced a loss of self - esteem , self - confidence , and psychological energy . The victim may feel “ burned out ” and too depressed to leave . Additionally , abusers and controllers often create a type of dependency by controlling the finances , placing automobiles / homes in their name , and eliminating any assets or resources the victim may use to leave . In clinical practice I ’ ve heard “ I ’ d leave but I ca n ’ t even get money In teens and young adults , victims may be attracted to a controlling individual when they feel inexperienced , insecure , and overwhelmed by a change in their life situation . When parents are going through a divorce , a teen may attach to a controlling individual , feeling the controller may stabilize their life . Freshmen in college may be attracted to controlling individuals who promise to help them survive living away from home on a college campus . In unhealthy relationships and definitely in Stockholm Syndrome there is a daily preoccupation with “ trouble ” . Trouble is any individual , group , situation , comment , casual glance , or cold meal that may produce a temper tantrum or verbal abuse from the controller or abuser . To survive , “ trouble ” is to be avoided at all costs . The victim must control situations that produce trouble . That may include avoiding family , friends , co - workers , and anyone who may create “ trouble ” in the abusive relationship . The victim Stockholm Syndrome in relationships is not uncommon . Law enforcement professionals are painfully aware of the situation – making a domestic dispute one of the high - risk calls during the work hours . Called by neighbors during a spousal abuse incident , the abuser is passive upon arrival of the police , only to find the abused spouse upset and threatening the officers if their abusive partner is arrested for domestic violence . In truth , the victim knows the abuser / controller will retaliate against him / her if 1 ) they encourage an arrest , 2 ) Stockholm Syndrome produces an unhealthy bond with the controller and abuser . It is the reason many victims continue to support an abuser after the relationship is over . It ’ s also the reason they continue to see “ the good side ” of an abusive individual and appear sympathetic to someone who has mentally and sometimes physically abused them . Is There Something Else Involved ? In a short response – Yes ! Throughout history , people have found themselves supporting and participating in life situations that range from abusive to bizarre . In talking to these active and willing participants in bad and bizarre situations , it is clear they have developed feelings and attitudes that support their participation . One way these feelings and thoughts are developed is known as “ cognitive dissonance ” . As you can tell , psychologists have large words and phrases for just about everything . “ Cognitive Dissonance ” explains how and why people change their ideas and opinions to support situations that do not appear to be healthy , positive , or normal . In the theory , an individual seeks to reduce information or opinions that make him or her uncomfortable . When we have two sets of cognitions ( knowledge , opinion , feelings , input from others , etc . ) that are the opposite , the situation becomes emotionally uncomfortable . Even though we might find ourselves in a foolish or difficult situation – few want to admit that fact Heavy smokers know smoking causes lung cancer and multiple health risks . To continue smoking , the smoker changes his cognitions ( thoughts / feelings ) such as 1 ) “ I ’ m smoking less than ten years ago ” , 2 ) “ I ’ m smoking low - tar cigarettes ” , 3 ) “ Those statistics are made up by the cancer industry conspiracy ” , or 4 ) “ Something ’ s got to get you anyway ! ” These new cognitions / attitudes allow them to keep smoking and actually begin blaming restaurants for You purchase a $ 40,000.00 Sport Utility Vehicle that gets 8 miles a gallon . You justify the expense and related issues with 1 ) “ It ’ s great on trips ( you take one trip per year ) ” , 2 ) “ I can use it to haul stuff ( one coffee table in 12 months ) , and 3 ) “ You can carry a lot of people in it ( 95 % of your trips are driver - only ) . ” Your husband / boyfriend becomes abusive and assaultive . You ca n ’ t leave due to the finances , children , or other factors . Through cognitive dissonance , you begin telling yourself “ He only hits me open - handed ” and “ He ’ s had a lot of stress at work . ” Leon Festinger first coined “ Cognitive Dissonance ” . He had observed a cult ( 1956 ) in which members gave up their homes , incomes , and jobs to work for the cult . This cult believed in messages from outer space that predicted the day the world would end by a flood . As cult members and firm believers , they believed they would be saved by flying saucers at the appointed time . As they gathered and waited to be taken by flying saucers at the specified time , the end - of - the - world Studies tell us we are more loyal and committed to something that is difficult , uncomfortable , and even humiliating . The initiation rituals of college fraternities , Marine boot camp , and graduate school all produce loyal and committed individuals . Almost any ordeal creates a bonding experience . Every couple , no matter how mismatched , falls in love in the movies after going through a terrorist takeover , being stalked by a killer , being stranded on an island , or being involved in an alien abduction . Investment and an ordeal are ingredients for a strong Abusive relationships produce a great amount on unhealthy investment in both parties . In many cases we tend to remain and support the abusive relationship due to our investment in the relationship . Try telling a new Marine that since he or she has survived boot camp , they should now enroll in the National Guard ! Several types of investments keep us in the bad relationship : Emotional Investment – We ’ ve invested so many emotions , cried so much , and worried so much that we feel we must see the relationship through to the finish . Social Investment – We ’ ve got our pride ! To avoid social embarrassment and uncomfortable social situations , we remain in the relationship . Family Investments – If children are present in the relationship , decisions regarding the relationship are clouded by the status and needs of the children . Financial Investment – In many cases , the controlling and abusive partner has created a complex financial situation . Many victims remain in a bad relationship , waiting for a better financial situation to develop that would make their departure and detachment easier . Lifestyle Investment – Many controlling / abusive partners use money or a lifestyle as an investment . Victims in this situation may not want to lose their current lifestyle . Intimacy Investment – We often invest emotional and sexual intimacy . Some victims have experienced a destruction of their emotional and / or sexual self - esteem in the unhealthy relationship . The abusing partner may threaten to spread rumors or tell intimate details or secrets . A type of blackmail using intimacy is often found in these situations . In many cases , it ’ s not simply our feelings for an individual that keeps us in an unhealthy relationship - it ’ s often the amount of investment . Relationships are complex and we often only see the tip of the iceberg in public . For this reason , the most common phrase offered by the victim in defense of their unhealthy relationship is “ You just do n ’ t understand ! ” Combining Two Unhealthy Conditions The combination of “ Stockholm Syndrome ” and “ cognitive dissonance ” produces a victim who firmly believes the relationship is not only acceptable , but also desperately needed for their survival . The victim feels they would mentally collapse if the relationship ended . In long - term relationships , the victims have invested everything and placed “ all their eggs in one basket ” . The relationship now decides their level of self - esteem , self - worth , and emotional health . For reasons described above , the victim feels family and friends are a threat to the relationship and eventually to their personal health and existence . The more family / friends protest the controlling and abusive nature of the relationship , the more the victim develops cognitive dissonance and becomes defensive . At this point , family and friends become victims of the abusive and controlling individual . Importantly , both Stockholm Syndrome and cognitive dissonance develop on an involuntary basis . The victim does not purposely invent this attitude . Both develop as an attempt to exist and survive in a threatening and controlling environment and relationship . Despite what we might think , our loved one is not in the unhealthy relationship to irritate , embarrass , or drive us to drink . What might have began as a normal relationship has turned into a controlling and abusive situation . They are trying to survive . Their personality is developing the feelings and thoughts needed to Family and Friends of the Victim When a family is confronted with a loved one involved with a Loser or controlling / abusive individual , the situation becomes emotionally painful and socially difficult for the family . While each situation is different , some general guidelines to consider are : - Your loved one , the " victim " of the Loser / Abuser , has probably been given a choice - the relationship or the family . This choice is made more difficult by the control and intimidation often present in abusive / controlling relationships . Knowing that choosing the family will result in severe personal and social consequences , the family always comes in second . Keep in mind that the victim knows in their heart the family will always love them and accept their return – whenever the return happens . - Remember , the more you pressure the " victim " of the Loser / Abuser , the more you prove the their point . Your loved one is being told the family is trying to ruin their wonderful relationship . Pressure in the form of contacts , comments , and communications will be used as evidence against you . An invitation to a Tupperware party is met with “ You see ! They just want to get you by yourself so they can tell you bad things about me ! ” Increasing your contacts is viewed as “ putting - Your contacts with your loved one , no matter how routine and loving , may be met with anger and resentment . This is because each contact may prompt the Loser / Abuser to attack them verbally or emotionally . Imagine getting a four - hour lecture every time your Aunt Gladys calls . In a short time , you become angry each time she calls , knowing what the contact will produce in your home . The longer Aunt Gladys talks – the longer your lecture becomes ! Thus , when Aunt Gladys calls , you want to - The 1980 ’ s song , ” Hold on Loosely ” , maybe the key to a good family and friend approach . Holding on too tight produces more pressure . When the victim is out of the home , it ’ s often best to establish predictable , scheduled contacts . Calling every Wednesday evening , just for a status report or to go over current events , is less threatening than random calls during the week . Random calls are always viewed as “ checking up on us ” calls . While you may encounter an answering - Try to maintain traditional and special contacts with your loved one - holidays , special occasions , etc . Keep your contacts short and brief , with no comments that can be used as evidence . Contacts made at “ traditional ” times – holidays , birthdays , anniversaries , etc . – are not as threatening to a controller / abuser . Contacts that provide information , but not questions , are also not as threatening . An example might be a simple card reading “ Just a note to let you know that your brother landed a - Remember that there are many channels of communication . It ’ s important that we keep a channel open if at all possible . Communication channels might include phone calls , letters , cards , and e - mail . Scheduled monthly shopping trips or outings are helpful if possible . The goal is to maintain contact while your loved one is involved in the controlling / abusive relationship . Remember , the goal is contact , not pressure . - Do n ' t feel the victim ' s behavior is against the family or friends . It may be a form of survival or a way of lowering stress . Victims may be very resistive , angry , and even hostile due to the complexity of their relationship with the controller / abuser . They may even curse , threaten , and accuse loved ones and friends . This hostile defensiveness is actually self - protection in the relationship – an attempt to avoid “ trouble ” . - The victim needs to know and feel they are not rejected because of their behavior . Keep in mind , they are painfully aware of their situation . They know they are being treated badly and / or controlled by their partner . Frequent reminders of this will only make them want less contact . We naturally avoid people who remind us of things or situations that are emotionally painful . - Victims may slightly open the door and provide information about their relationship or hint they may be considering leaving . When the door opens , do n ' t jump through with the Marines behind you ! Listen and simply offer support such as " You know your family is behind any decision you need to make and at any time you make it . " They may be exploring what support is available but may not be ready to call in the troops just yet . Many victims use an “ exit plan ” that may take months - We can get messages to people in two ways - the pipeline and the grapevine . The pipeline is face - to - face , telling the person directly . This seldom happens in Loser situations as controllers and abusers monitor and control contacts with others . However , the grapevine is still open . When we use the grapevine , we send a message to our loved one through another person . Victims of controlling and abusive individuals are often allowed to maintain a relationship with a few people , perhaps a sibling or best friend . We - Each situation is different . The family may need to seek counseling support in the community . A family consultation with a mental health professional or attorney may be helpful if the situation becomes legally complex or there is a significant danger of harm . - As relatives or friends of a victim involved with a controller or abuser , our normal reaction is to consider dramatic action . We become angry , resentful , and aggressive at times . Our mind fills with a variety of plans that often range from rescue and kidnapping to ambushing the controller / abuser with a ball bat . A rule of thumb is that any aggression toward the controller / abuser will result in additional difficulties for your loved one . Try to remain calm and await an opportunity to show your love and support when your - In some cases , as in teenagers and young adults , the family may still provide some financial , insurance , or other support . When we receive angry responses to our phone calls , our anger and resentment tells us to cut off their support . I ’ ve heard “ If she ’ s going to date that jerk , it ’ s not going to be in a car I ’ m paying for ! ” and “ If he ’ s choosing that woman over his family , he can drop out of college and - As you might imagine , the combination of Stockholm Syndrome and cognitive dissonance may also be active when our loved one is involved in cults , unusual religions , and other groups . In some situations , the abuser and controller is actually a group or organization . Victims are punished if they are viewed as disloyal to the group . While this article deals with individual relationships , the family guidelines may be helpful in controlling - group situations . Final Thoughts You may be the victim of a controlling and abusive partner , seeking an understanding of your feelings and attitudes . You may have a son , daughter , or friend currently involved with a controlling and abusive partner , looking for ways to understand and help . If a loved one is involved with a Loser , a controlling and abusing partner , the long - term outcome is difficult to determine due to the many factors involved . If their relationship is in the “ dating ” phase , they may end the relationship on their own . If the relationship has continued for over a year , they may require support and an exit plan before ending the relationship . Marriage and children further complicates their ability to leave the situation . When the victim decides to end the unhappy relationship , it ’ s This article is an attempt to understand the complex feelings and attitudes that are as puzzling to the victim as they are to family and friends . I ’ ve outlined recommendations for detaching from a Loser or controlling / abusive individual ( www . drjoecarver . com ) but clearly , there are more victims in this situation . It is hoped this article is helpful to family and friends who worry , cry , and have difficulty understanding the situation of their loved one . It has been said that knowledge is power . Hopefully this knowledge will Please consider this article as a general guideline . Some recommendations may be appropriate and helpful while some may not apply to a specific situation . In many cases , we may need additional professional help of a mental health or legal nature . Joseph M . Carver , Ph . D .

and minimizing adverse effects of drugs The consultation is like a second opinion to see if treatment recommendations advised previously are optimal or need a change in direction Time spent with the

advice Although vitamins minerals protein powders herbals and other supplements generally pose few side effects supplement programs may not be optimal for the patients health condition Generally medical professionals do not recommend supplement usage and may advise discontinuation of vitamin supplements Dr Collin encourages the use of vitamin and mineral supplements for support in treating medical conditions The challenge is determining appropriate dosing of herbals and nutrients for the patient An important part of Dr Collins consultation is to Intravenous Vitamins and Minerals Vitamins and minerals are routinely supplemented and taken as oral capsules tablets or powders The use of oral vitamins and minerals is not the same as the administration of vitamins and minerals by intramuscular IM injection or intravenous IV injection Perhaps the most dramatic difference is noted with Vitamin B12 Oral and sublingual forms of Vitamin B12 do not absorb wellVitamin B12 injected by IM injection achieves much higher levels as noted on lab measurement as well as noted by patient response From a treatment perspective the use of IV Vitamin C ascorbic acid is completely different from its use Treatment protocols using IM and IV vitamins and minerals are considered very important in Dr Collins treatment protocols Please read Dr Collins letter to patients regarding Intravenous Vitamin C in the Intensive Care Setting Can Vitamin C Be Vital in Recovering from Infection A New Zealand dairy farmer dying from pneumonia did not make any recovery until his doctors began injecting him with Vitamin C Read about it in the November 2010 issue of the Townsend Letter Watch videos httpwwwyoutubecomwatch vVrhkoFcOMII httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv C2orjgvW2tY Intravenous Chelation Chelation pronounced key lay shun is an important treatment protocol for the treatment of toxic elements such as lead mercury and arsenic The growing concern with toxic element chemical and biologic pollution has led to an increasing interest in removing or detoxifying these elements or chemicals from the body Measuring toxic element levels poses difficulties Serum blood measurements are calibrated to determine highly elevated levels of lead mercury and arsenic circulating in the blood Lower levels of these elements generally recognized as safe would be assessed as normal on routine blood studies Furthermore toxic elements are incorporated into the adipose fatty tissue bones vital Chelation is the binding of a metal such as lead mercury and arsenic or a mineral such as calcium to a protein chelator The binding of the toxic element or mineral occurs through a wellrecognized chemical reaction known as covalent bonding Industrial applications of chelation are under wide use in the textile printing detergent food and pharmaceutical industries Laboratory diagnostics use chelation in the tube needed for measurement of the CBC complete blood cell count and differential Chelation can also be directly used to remove toxic elements from the body Natural oral chelation is seen nutritionally when eating foods such Medical controversy exists for the use of intravenous chelation as a treatment for cardiovascular disease particularly blockage of arteries by plaque Although a number of medical studies did not show significant benefit using chelation for treatment of circulation disorders a much larger number of smaller studies have shown positive benefit using chelation in the treatment of circulatory disorders Intravenous chelation treatment can be employed in conjunction with other cardiovascular treatment including prescribed drug programs and cardiology intervention including stent and bypass surgery after the patients cardiac condition is stable Dr Collin evaluates cardiac patients to determine if chelation treatment may BioIdentical Hormone Treatment Hormone status is identified in conventional medicine based on absolute criteria determining low states hypofunction and elevated states hyperfunction Unfortunately many individuals are deemed normal because their serum blood hormone level lies in the normal range Over the past decade laboratory diagnostics employing both urine and saliva specimens have demonstrated that what may be considered normal on blood test may actually be somewhat low or high on urine or saliva testing The different measurements seen in hormone levels have posed diagnostic difficulties for the medical practitioner and the patient Nevertheless it remains important to consider different lab testing especially in In the early 2000s studies were critical of women using pharmaceutical estrogen hormone replacement because of concerns that the estrogen increased breast cancer risk Many women abandoned estrogen prescriptions and there was an increasing incidence of menopausal symptoms Some physicians and pharmacists noted the difference between natural hormone and pharmaceutical derived hormone While such differences may be considered subtle practitioners who use bioidentical hormones hormones identical to whats in the body noted a lessened risk for patients Bioidentical hormones are not available from the pharmaceutical manufacturer Instead these hormones are prepared by special pharmacies that directly compound prescriptions The prescriptions For more information on Chelation Therapy please visit

Collin is interested in natural treatment support for chronic adult conditions Although vitamin and mineral supplementation as well as diet and exercise are very important in the care of conditions such as hypertension and diabetes it is necessary to continue medical treatment concurrently Dr Collin prefers to evaluate each medical patient carefully understanding their diagnosis and medical

http://drkisling.com/uncategorized/medicaid-vision-benefits/ | Medicaid Vision Benefits Dr . Kisling April 19 , 2010 Uncategorized Vision Insurance 2 Comments Your Colorado optometrist may participate in Medicaid and provide eye exams and glasses for your children at no cost to you . Almost 1 of every 4 children in Colorado is insured through Medicaid Medicaid coverage for vision varies state by state so do n ’ t presume you will have the same benefits when moving . In Colorado there is different vision care coverage for children and adults . Coverage changes have occurred in the last few years , and will continue to change with health care reform . Expansion or cut backs in benefits may occur at any time . For Medicaid vision coverage in Colorado , childrens vision insurance coverage is defined by age 20 and under . When reaching age 21 , Colorado Medicaid considers you an adult and benefits change . Children are eligible for an eye exam by their optometrist as needed with no co - pay Ft Collins Eye Doctors Eyeglasses Contact lens fitting fees entail additional charges above the regular eye examination . These are not covered unless there is an eye disease such as kerataconus and contact lenses are the only way to provide acceptable visual acuity . The actual contact lenses are also not covered unless their is an applicable medical diagnosis . This is not a area where a patient can plead their case . If there are specific medical conditions your eye doctor has to file a form to have your case considered . The review process can take several weeks to several months . It A standard eyeglass frame and lenses are covered with no co pay A standard frame means frames are limited to inexpensive frames . That does not mean they are necessarily low quality . Your optometrist is only allowed a limited reimbursement for the eyeglass frame . Some consumer awareness can be beneficial . For instance , in our office we usually provide a higher quality frame that costs us more but holds up much better for your teen . Some optometrists provide this service and since the added cost is not passed on to you , there is no awareness of the difference . It is unlikely an eye doctors office will Lens treatments such as scratch resistant coatings , antiglare coatings , tints , and thin lens materials are not covered . Scratch resistant coatings are the one option you should purchase . Uncoated prescription eye glass lenses will most likely have scratch marks on them within a day or two of teenager usage . Scratch resistant coatings are not scratch proof but they will certainly extend the usable life of the lenses . There is a way to have thinner , lighter lenses covered for your child . If you request polycarbonate lenses , they will be much thinner and Other services may be available with preauthorization . Vision devices for children that have significant sight loss from eye diseases , some lens treatments , therapy for lazy eye , and other services are sometimes approved . Do n ’ t expect a fast approval , but it is worth the wait when the service ends up being covered . Adults are entitled to an eye examination with a $ 2.00 co pay in many cases . Glasses are provided once after some types of eye surgery . Medicaid is constantly changing and this information is provided as educational , not as representative of current state policy .

http://drlwilson.com/ARTICLES/CBDOIL.htm | THE CBD OIL DECEPTION by Dr . Lawrence Wilson © August 2018 , L.D. Wilson Consultants , Inc . All information in this article is solely the opinion of the author and for educational purposes only . It is not for the diagnosis , treatment , prescription or cure of any disease or health condition . Cannabidiol or CBD is a highly toxic compound found in the marijuana plant . To deceive people , a little CBD is being added to hempseed oil , a completely different and very safe product that has been sold in health food stores for years . The mixture is being sold as CBD cream , oil or CBD pills . The product relieves pain because hempseed oil is high in omega - 3 fatty acids . It is not primarily because of CBD . The goal of the deception is to make marijuana , a toxic drug , more acceptable to Americans . Hempseed oil . Hempseed oil has been on the market for years , and is a rich source of omega - 3 fatty acids . For this reason , it is highly anti - inflammatory . Rampant deficiencies . We find that most people are deficient in omega - 3 fatty acids . This is due to diets containing vegetable oils high in omega - 6 fatty acids , and due to feeding corn to our livestock . Without extra omega - 3 fatty acids , millions suffer from inflammation . In fact , this has contributed greatly to the opioid crisis in America and elsewhere . Inflammation takes the form of physical pain , mental anxiety and irritability , and even seizures and other inflammatory brain conditions . Taking hemp oil - or fish oil or flaxseed oil - brings relief . The CBD promoters take advantage of this fact to make people think that it is the CBD in their product that relieves pain . It is not . It is the hempseed oil . Unsafe . Promoters of this drug claim it is safe because it does not cause a high . It is different than THC ( tetrahydrocannabinol ) , the compound that is supposed to cause the marijuana high . Marijuana plants can be bred to produce more CBD and less THC . While CBD has medicinal properties , as do all drugs , we suggest staying far away from it , just as we suggest avoiding all toxic drugs . In our limited experience with it , it is highly toxic . We believe CBD contains some cadmium , one of the most poisonous of the toxic metals . This is one reason it has “ medicinal ” properties . Doctors have used toxic metals as drugs for several hundred years . Among the toxic metals used as drugs , even today , are compounds of arsenic , mercury , boron , aluminum and others . Instead of ingesting poisons , if you are having symptoms of illness , begin a development program . This program will often heal the problem at a deep level .

http://drlwilson.com/ARTICLES/SULFUR.htm | SULFUR AND SULFUR - CONTAINING AMINO ACIDS by Dr . Lawrence Wilson © January 2014 , L.D . Wilson Consultants , Inc . All information in this article is for educational purposes only . It is not for the diagnosis , treatment , prescription or cure of any disease or health condition . Table Of Contents I . INTRODUCTION Qualities Of Sulfur Confusion About Sulfur II . ROLES IN THE BODY Cleansing Building Flexibility III . SOURCES OF SULFUR Food sources Supplements IV . DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS Impaired Detoxification Connective Tissue Problems V . SULFUR AND NUTRITIONAL BALANCING Importance Hair Analysis Aspects VI . IMPORTANT FORMS OF SULFUR IN THE BODY I . INTRODUCTION Sulfur is one of the most abundant and important minerals in the human body . It is a yang mineral and a male mineral . QUALITIES OF SULFUR Fiery . This is how sulfur cleanses the body . It helps burn up toxins . Industrially , sulfur is used in certain chemical processes for this reason . For example , it is found in gunpowder . It burns very fast and very hot . Ordinary kitchen matches contain sulfur because it ignites easily and burns well . Acid - forming . Sulfur is an acid - forming mineral . Most of the acid - forming minerals are anabolic and tend to build the tissues . In contrast , the more alkaline - forming minerals such as calcium , magnesium , sodium , potassium , zinc and manganese are used more as regulators . Personaltiy of sulfur . Historically , sulfury individuals are often similar to high - copper individuals . They often have a ruddy complexion and are fiery and hot - termpered Without enough sulfur they “ burn out ” quickly . They usually like some red meat and love eating foods like cabbage , which is high in sulfur compounds . They are a less common personality type today . It is found in most proteins in the sulfur - containing amino acids , along with phosphorus and nitrogen These three elements form a triad of important elements needed as building blocks or structural components of all animal tissues . The sulfur gives animal tissues their strength , and their resiliency . Sulfur , copper and molybdenum form a trio of minerals involved in connective tissue . Confusion about sulfur . There is some confusion about sulfur because : 1 . Our bodies need many different types of sulfur compounds . 2 . some of these are provided by cooked vegetables , while others are only found in meats , eggs and dairy products . II . ROLES IN THE BODY 1 . Sulfur is a cleansing or detoxification mineral . It is critical for liver detoxification . Some sulfur compounds are also mild or extreme chelating agents . We do not recommend these chdelating agents . Getting enough of this kind of sulfur is difficult or impossible for vegetarians and is one of the main problems of a vegetarian diet . Vegan diets are the worst , in this regard . 2 . Sulfur is a building mineral . It is an anabolic mineral that is critical for making our body tissues . It is particularly rich in all connective tissue . This includes , hair , skin , nails , tendons , ligaments , arteries , veins and parts of the heart . 3 . Sulfur is also a flexibility mineral . It is needed in order to have flexible joints , tendons , ligaments , hair and other flexible connective tissues . 4 . An escort . I believe sulfur also serves as an escort to help move certain toxins out of the body . III . SOURCES OF SULFUR FOOD SOURCES The main food sources are : 1 . M eats and whole eggs . 2 . Cooked vegetables . Rich sources are : A . Onions and garlic . B . Cruciferous family of vegetables ( cabbage , cauliflower , broccoli and Brussels sprouts , mainly ) C . Radish family of vegetables . This includes turnips , some greens and all types of radishes and daikon ) . SULFUR SUPPLEMENTS MSM For Joint Problems . Some people take MSM or methylsulfonylmethane to relieve joint pain , or for other reasons . It is a semi - synthetic sulfur compound . I do not recommend this product . If you follow a nutritional balancing program , you will not need it . Also , it is extremely yin in macrobiotic terminology . As a result , it will interfere with your overall health and it will slow or stop development . It lowers copper and acts as a remedy only . A much better way to get rid of joint pain and other connective tissue symptoms is to remove the irritants and toxic metals that are causing the problem . does not do this very well . Organic sulfur . A few supplement companies sell organic sulfur as a food supplement . I do not recommend this product because it is somewhat toxic . It is easy to get plenty of sulfur from foods by eating meats , eggs , some dairy products , and loads of cooked vegetables . Chelating agents . Most chelating agents contain sulfur . This includes EDTA DMSA DMPS , and others . I do not recommend any of these agents . They are not needed if one follow a nutritional balancing program . They are also toxic and have other problems , although they are better than heart bypass surgery . To read much more about them , read Chelation Therapy on this site . IV . SYMPTOMS OF SULFUR DEFICIENCY This is common today because many people do not eat enough cooked vegetables . It is even worse in some vegetarians because certain sulfur compounds are found only in meats and eggs . Symptoms include : inability to detoxify toxic metals and toxic chemicals . Also , problems with connective tissue . These can include joint pain , bursitis , inflammation , skin rashes , parasites , and other soft tissue problems . V . SULFUR AND NUTRITIONAL BALANCING Sulfur is a very important mineral in nutritional balancing programs . It is critical for detoxification , and for joint health . I recommend obtaining it from food . The supplements are not as good . One can get plenty of sulfur from eating a lot of cooked vegetables , and from eating some meat and eggs However , do not eat animal foods more than twice daily , and the portion size needs to be only 4 - 5 ounces . This will take care of your sulfur needs . HAIR ANALYSIS NOTES Some mineral laboratories measure the sulfur level in the hair . ARL does not measure it at this time ( 2016 ) . I hope they will in the future . The level of sulfur in hair is more than 100 times higher than the levels of the other minerals . This is because hair is a connective tissue , and this type of tissue contain a lot of sulfur . For the ideal hair level , a good range , and toxicity levels for sulfur , please go to Mineral Levels In Human Hair on this site . The hair sulfur reading is not important for the basic interpretation of the hair test . However , it can indicate several things : Low hair sulfur : This may indicate that a person will need to go into a four lows pattern during a nutritional balancing program in order to complete certain healing . I do not think low sulfur can indicate a poor eliminator condition , as occurs with a number of other minerals . Elevated hair sulfur : This can indicate : 1 . Sulfur loss . A person is losing sulfur from the body . This can be due to : A . Sulfur is acting as an escort , helping to move a toxin out of the body . This is similar to one way that the body uses zinc during nutritional balancing programs . B . A catabolic state . This is not desirable . 2 . Contamination or exogenous sulfur . A few dandruff shampoos contain sulfur . An elevated hair sulfur reading is occasionally due to contamination from a sulfur - containing shampoo . VI . FORMS OF SULFUR IN THE BODY There are many of these . A few of the important ones are discussed below . SULFUR - CONTAINING AMINO ACIDS These include the amino acids methionine cysteine homocysteine and taurine Homocysteine and taurine are not involved in proteins , but they are sometimes considered “ free amino acids ” . These are among the most important chemicals in the body . The first two of them assist with the flexibility of connective tissue , and they are also absolutely essential for detoxification in the liver and elsewhere . Taurine is also important as an anti - oxidant , membrane stabilizer , neurotransmitter , needed to form one of the bile acids , and is needed to maintain the fluid balance inside of cells . It is very abundant in the body , and is only found in animal foods such as meats . Sources . Taurine is only found in large amounts in meats and eggs . Cysteine methionine are found in some well - cooked beans and some seeds such as sesame . Isolated supplements . Sulfur - containing amino acids are also sold as isolated supplements such as L - , N - acetyl - cysteine and others . All are very mild and fairly safe chelators Sulfur - containing amino acids , specifically , are mild chelators This means they can bind with metals in the body such as copper , lead and a few others . I consider the pure amino acids much safer than other , and they are used , at times , in nutritional balancing programs for short periods of time , usually to reduce copper . They are not used for long periods of time because they can remove vital minerals , as can all , most of which are sulfur compounds . These include cilantro , chlorella , bugleweed , yellow dock , EDTA DMPS DMSA penicllamine and all others . We never use most for this reason , as they are not needed and are almost always harmful to the delicate balancing of body chemistry . Used for a four lows pattern . L - is the only sulfur - containing product used regularly in nutritional balancing programs , and this is only when a four lows pattern is present . I am not sure why , but L - works excellently in this situation . To learn more , read the article entitled , on this website . DISULFIDE BONDS IN CONNECTIVE TISSUE Another very important type of sulfur compounds in the body are called disulfide bonds . These are the basis for connective tissue strength and flexibility . These bonds can become damaged , often by the presence of an excessive amount of a biounavailable form of copper or iron . These are often in oxide form . We call this form of minerals “ amigos ” because a number of them are often found together in the body . for more , read Iron , Manganese , and Aluminum - The Amigos on this site . This causes symptoms including inflammation , tendonitis , arthritis , bursitis , muscle and joint stiffness , contractures , spondylitis , adhesions , scars , fibrosis and sclerosis . For more on this general topic , read Arthritis Or Joint Pain OTHER TOPICS HAIR , SKIN AND NAILS ARE HIGH IN SULFUR These tissues are example of special types of connective tissues that are also very rich in collagen , and keratin , both high in sulfur . If you are having trouble with these tissues in your body , consider eating more meat , eggs and cooked vegetables in the cabbage and radish family , in particular . For more on this topic , read Hair Loss Skin Diseases on this website . SULFUR AND LIVER DETOXIFICATION Restoring and maintaining liver detoxification is one of the most important aspects of healing . Sulfur is absolutely needed for the detoxification pathways in the liver . This is one of the major roles of sulfur in the body . Many of the detoxification compounds such as glutathione require sulfur . Problems with liver detoxification pathways such as the P - 450 and other pathways are common not only in vegetarians and especially vegans , but also other people who do not eat correctly . For example , eating a lot of fruit seems to interfere with sulfur metabolism . Possible reasons are : 1 . Fruit is very low in sulfur . In contrast , cooked vegetables are rich in sulfur . It is one reason to avoid fruit and eat plenty of cooked vegetables . 2 . Eating a lot of fruit usually means a person does not consume nearly enough of the high - sulfur vegetables and meats . Other methods of therapy may interfere with sulfur metabolism as well , including perhaps some bio - identical hormone therapies and perhaps some medical drug regimens such as some of the antibiotics , which all seem to build up in the liver for some reason . For more on liver dysfunctions , detoxification and nutritional balancing , read Liver Dysfunctions Steps To Enhance Liver Detoxification on this site . A serious problem with vegetarian and especially vegan diets . I definitely recommend meat and eggs to assist detoxification in the liver . We find that most vegetarians , while not ingesting some toxic metals found in meats and fish , also can not remove toxic metals as well because they are low in the sulfur - containing amino acids . The sulfur also is required for other functions such as tendon and ligament health . | [

http://droualb.faculty.mjc.edu/Course%20Materials/Elementary%20Anatomy%20and%20Physiology%2050/Lecture%20outlines/blood.htm | Blood Plasma The components of plasma include : 1 . Water is the major component ( about 92 % ) and is the solvent for organic and inorganic molecules . 2 . Electrolytes include sodium , potassium , chloride , calcium , magnesium , bicarbonate , phosphate and sulfate . 3 . Nutrients such as glucose , lipids and amino acids . 4 . Blood gases include oxygen , carbon dioxide and nitrogen . 5 . Regulatory substances include hormones and enzymes . 6 . Plasma proteins . Make up about 7 % of plasma and fall into three major classes : a . Albumins Albumins make up roughly 60 % of all plasma proteins and are a major contributor to osmotic pressure . Albumins are the smallest of the three and serve as carriers for hormones , metabolites and drugs . b . Globulins These proteins make up about 35 % . Immunoglobulins are produced by lymphocytes and other globulins are produced by the liver . The nonimmune globulins serve as transport globulins for ions , hormones and other compounds . c . Fibrinogen This is the largest protein but only comprises about 4 % of plasma proteins . It participates in the clot formation when it is transformed into fibrin Blood plasma minus the fibrinogen and other clotting proteins is called serum . Albumin and globulin form complexes with lipids that are called lipoproteins that enable insoluble lipids to be transported throughout the body . Formed Elements Red Blood Cells ( RBCs ) a.k.a . erythrocytes Rbc ' s constitute the largest component of the formed elements ( 99.9 % ) . The hematocrit is the percentage volume of blood contributed by the formed elements . It is also called volume of packed red cells ( VPRC ) and packed cell volume ( PCV ) . The normal hematocrit is about 46 ( 40 to 54 ) in men , and 42 ( 37 to 47 ) in women Structure of RBCs Rbc ' s are highly specialized cells that lack a nucleus , mitochondria or ribosomes . Their ability to transport O 2 and CO 2 is due to the presence of hemoglobin and other protein within the cell . The biconcave shape of the rbc ' s increases the surface area for exchange and enhances the strength and flexibility of the cells . RBC life span The loss of protein making organelles ( nucleus , ribosomes ) and other organelles ( mitochondria ) decrease the ability of rbc ' s to produce structural proteins and enzymes . This combined with the wear and tear that rbc ' s experience cause these cells to have a short life span . The typical rbc ' s lives about 120 days before bursting or being phagocytized . RBCs and Hemoglobin Hemoglobin ( Hb ) makes up 95 % of the protein within the rbc ' s . Hemoglobin is a red pigment that is bright red ( arterial blood ) when combined with oxygen but becomes a deep red color ( venous blood ) when deoxygenated . On a molecular level , hemoglobin consists of four protein subunits , two alpha hemoglobin units and two beta hemoglobin units . Each hemoglobin subunit holds a molecule called heme that has an iron ion that can reversibly bind with oxygen . The hemoglobin molecule can also reversibly bind with CO and about 23 % of CO is carried in this way . Hemoglobin enables rbc ' s to pick up O and give up CO in the lungs and release O 2 and pick up CO in the peripheral tissues . White Blood Cells ( WBCs ) a.k.a . leukocytes Leukocytes perform their primary functions in the peripheral tissues where they are present in large numbers . The cardiovascular system is primarily a means to travel to the peripheral tissues . Wbc ' s leave the circulation by the process of diapedesis that enables them to squeeze between endothelial cells . They are attracted to specific locations by chemotaxis by which cells use chemical gradients to guide their movements . Leukocytes defend against invasion by pathogens and help the body remove toxins , wastes and damaged cells . When there are inadequate numbers of wbc ' s this condition is called leukopenia ; when there is an excessive number of wbc ' s this condition is called leukocytosis There are two major classes of white blood cells : 1 Granular Leukocytes which have specific granules in their cytoplasm . 2 . Agranular Leukocytes which lack specific granules in their cytoplasm . Granular Leukocytes N eutrophils Neutrophils are the most numerous wbc constituting about 70 % of circulating wbc ' s in a normal individual . The specific granules of neutrophils contain lysozyme and other bacteriostatic and bacteriocidal agents . The nucleus is dense and contorted with expanded regions connected by slender threads so that the nucleus may appear as beads on a string . Because of this appearance these cells have be called polymorphonuclear cells or PMN ' s . Neutrophils are highly mobile and are the first to arrive at an injury site . They actively phagocytize bacteria and cellular debris . They die quickly but release chemicals recruit other leukocytes to the troubled site . Neutrophil phagocytosis E osinophils Eosinophils have specific granules that stain with eosin an acidic red dye and the nucleus is bilobed These cells are 2 to 4 % of the circulating white blood cells in a normal individual . Eosinophils phagocytize antigen - antibody complexes and releases chemicals that moderates the deleterious effects of inflammatory reactions . The specific granules also have chemicals that are effective against parasites , particularly helminthic parasites . Eosinophil counts increase during allergic reactions and parasitic infections . B asophils Basophils are the rarest of the wbc ' s ( less than 1 % ) and have specific granules that stain with basic dyes . The specific granules of basophils contain vasoactive chemicals similar to those of mast cells ( histamine and heparin ) . When released , the chemicals of the specific granules enhance the inflammatory response by increasing vascular permeability . Basophils are involved with hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis Agranular Leukocytes Monocytes Monocytes constitute about 2 to 8 % of wbc ' s and are the largest wbc ( 2 - 3 times the rbc ) . They have an indented nucleus and lack specific granules . Monocytes remain in the blood for about 3 days and enter the tissues to become the macrophages that are found in various tissues including h istiocytes in connective tissues , osteoclasts in bone , Kupffer cell in liver and macrophages in various other tissues . Hence , they form a part of the monocytes - macrophage system . Macrophages arrive at a site of injury or invasion after neutrophils and phagocytizes bacteria , other cells and tissue debris . They also release chemotaxic chemicals that attract other cells of the immune system to the site . Active macrophages also attract fibroblasts to the site to begin repair and the construction Lymphocytes Lymphocytes form about 20 to 30 % of wbc in the normal individual and most have a large , purple - staining nucleus surrounded by a thin halo of cytoplasm . Lymphocytes are responsible for specific immunity or the ability to attack pathogens or foreign proteins on an individual basis . Three types of lymphocytes are recognized : T Cell s T lymphocytes are responsible for cell mediated immune response They attack foreign cell directly . A subclass of these cells is attacked by the HIV virus . B cells B lymphocytes are responsible for humoral immunity . When activated , B cells transform into plasma cells that produce antibody , also called immunoglobulins . NK cells natural killer cell These cells constitute about 5 - 10 % of lymphocytes and are named for their ability to kill certain types of transformed cells . These cells include cells infected with a virus and cancer cells . | [

http://droualb.faculty.mjc.edu/Lecture%20Notes/Unit%203/chapter_9__skeletal_muscle_tiss%20with%20figures.htm | Chapter 9 - Skeletal Muscle Tissue Functions of Skeletal Muscle 1 . Produce skeletal movement Muscles move the bones of the skeleton by their connective tissue attachments . This enables all kinds of voluntary movement . 2 . Maintains posture and body position When not moving the various parts of the supportive skeleton are held in position by isometric muscle contraction . 3 . Supports soft tissue The weight of the abdominopelvic viscera is supported by the muscles of the abdominal wall and the pelvic floor . 4 . Guards entrances and exits Skeletal muscle forms sphincters around orifices of the digestive and urinary tracts . 5 . Maintains body temperature Muscle contraction generates heat that is involved in maintaining normal body temperature . Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles Gross Anatomy Connective Tissue Skeletal muscle can only exert force on a structure if it is harnessed in some way to that structure . Connective tissue performs this role . The organization of fibers within the muscle gives rise to three concentric wrappings of connective tissue . 1 . Endomysium Each individual muscle fiber is surrounded by a delicate network of reticular fibers called endomysium . Endomysium binds fibers to their neighbors and supports the capillaries that supply the fibers . 2 . Perimysium The muscle fibers bound together by the endomysium form a bundle called a fascicle . The fascicles are surrounded by connective tissue containing collagen and elastic fibers that supports the blood vessels and nerves that serve the fibers of the fascicles . This connective tissue is called the perimysium . 3 . Epimysium The entire muscle is surrounded by dense irregular connective tissue that separates the muscle from the surrounding tissue and organs . This is the epimysium . Tendons and Aponeuroses The fibers of the endomysium , perimysium and epimysium converge on the points of attachment of the muscle to bone , skin or muscle . This fibrous connection transfers the force of contraction of the muscle to the attachment point . When the attachment is round and resembles a thick cord or cable it is called a tendon . When the attachment is broad and forms a sheet it is called an aponeurosis ( sing . ) . Nerves and Blood Vessels Skeletal muscle uses and demands nutrients and oxygen that are supplied by blood vessels that enter the muscle along the connective tissue partitions and eventual form capillary networks that surround each muscle fiber . Each muscle fiber is also controlled by a nerve that forms a single attachment point with each fiber at the neuromuscular junction , a.k.a. myoneural junction . Microanatomy of Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscle cells develop when hundreds of individual embryonic cells called myoblasts fuse . The resulting cells ' cell membrane is called the sarcolemma and the cytoplasm is called sarcoplasm . Some of the unique characteristics of skeletal muscle cells ( fibers ) are : Skeletal muscles are very large . Their diameter is about 100 microns ( about 13 times the diameter of a red blood cell ) and they can be as long as 30 to 40 cm ( 10 to 16 in . ) . Skeletal muscles are multinucleate . The nuclei of the myoblasts that fuse to form the cell remain within the cell . Some myoblasts do not fuse but remain associated with the fiber as satellite cells that can divide and differentiate to repair damaged cells . There are internal tubular extensions of the sarcolemma into the sarcoplasm called transverse tubules or T tubules . Myofibrils and Myofilaments Within each skeletal muscle cell or fiber there are cylindrical structures called myofibrils . The myofibrils are about 1 / 100 the diameter of the cell but extend the full length of the cell and attach to the cell membrane at either end . Contraction of the myofibrils result in contraction of the entire cell . Transverse tubules form loops around myofibrils along their entire length . In between the loops of transverse tubule , there is a network of tubules of smooth endoplasmic reticulum called the sarcoplasmic reticulum . The sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounds the myofibril like a sleeve . The sarcoplasmic reticulum on either side of the loops of transverse tubules fuse to form expanded chambers called terminal cisternae . The combination of a transverse tubule flanked by two terminal cisternae is called a triad . The energy for muscle contraction is supplied by the numerous mitochondria that surround the myofibrils . Glycogen granules that also surround the myofibrils as a ready source of fuel . The myofibrils are made - up of myofilaments . The myofilaments are organized in repeating units along the length of the myofibril called sarcomeres . Sarcomere Organization The primary microfilaments in myofibrils are actin ( thin ) and myosin ( thick ) filaments . Within each sarcomere there is a precise arrangement of these filaments . The sarcomeres of neighboring myofibrils are in alignment and they create the banding pattern visible with the light microscope . The difference in the size and density of the thick and thin filaments is responsible for the banding pattern . The center of the sarcomere has a narrow band called the H band where there are only thick filaments . The H band is in the center of the A band that includes a zone of overlap between the thick and thin filaments . In the zone of overlap , each thick filament is surrounded by six thin filaments and each thin filament is surrounded by three thick filaments . The I band is where the thin filaments do not overlap with the thick filaments at either end of the sarcomere , and straddling the Z line . The thick filaments are linked in the center of the sarcomere by proteins that form the M line . At either end of the sarcomere , the actin filaments are attached to one another by proteins that form the Z line . The Z lines mark the boundaries of each sarcomere . Thin Filaments The thin filament is composed of 300 - 400 G - actin protein molecules that form a linear molecule called F - actin . The F - actin molecules are held together by another protein called nebulin . Each G - actin molecule has an active site that binds to a site on the myosin molecule . This binding is prevented by another protein called tropomyosin that covers the active site on the actin . Tropomyosin is held in position by a protein called troponin . When calcium ions bind to troponin , the position of tropomyosin changes to uncover the binding site and permits the binding of actin to myosin . At either end of the sarcomere the actin filaments are attached to the Z line or disc by a protein called actinin . Thick Filaments Thick filaments are composed of a bundle of about 500 myosin molecules . Each myosin molecule consists of two strands , of which each has a tail that twists around the other , and a head . The head projects outward toward the thin filaments and are called cross - bridges because they attach to the thin filaments during contraction . The thick filaments are associated with a protein called titin . Titin contributes to the normal alignment of the thick and thin filaments and has elastic properties that restores the sarcomere to its original resting position after being stretched . | [

http://drpullen.com/liverfunctiontests | Lab Tests 101 : Liver Function Tests Posted on October 8 , 2010 by Dr . Pullen 4 Comments Lab Results 101 : Liver Function Tests The first thing to know is that what is commonly called liver function testing ( LFTs ) has little if anything to do with the function of the liver . They are really tests that are clues to liver injury or disorders , but not really liver function . Still the name is likely here to stay , so liver function testing is what you will hear discussed . In the common test ordered at your doctor ’ s office , called the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel ( CMP ) , several tests are included that give information about the liver . The first two tests are the ALT ( Alanine aminotransferase ) and AST ( Aspartate aminotransferase ) were formally called SGPT and SGOT respectively . These are enzymes that normally function inside liver cells primarily , and are present in the blood stream in small quantities . When there is something causing injury to liver cells , these enzymes leak into the bloodstream in large quantities , and elevated serum levels of these enzymes what physicians call hepatocellular injury . At the top of the list of things that can lead to elevation of these enzymes is alcohol use . Excessive alcohol intake , especially chronic overuse , leads to hepatocellular damage , and eventually liver tissue scarring called cirrhosis . Elevation of the AST and ALT is often a clue to your physician that alcohol overuse may be a concern . Interestingly a high ratio of AST to ALT is especially suggestive of alcohol toxicity . Other toxic compounds , including acetaminophen ( Tylenol ) overuse , can cause similar liver cell injury and transaminase enzyme elevation Other causes of elevation of the AST and ALT include the various viral hepatitis infections . Currently hepatitis C is the cause we think of most commonly as a concern . It ’ s at epidemic proportions in the US now , and can be a silent cause of progressive liver damage , liver failure , and liver cancer . Often a physician will order testing for hepatitis C , B and sometimes A when evaluating for a cause of elevation of the liver transaminases . Less common causes of hepatitis include other medications , other ingested toxins , autoimmne hepatitis , and infiltrative diseases like cancer , hemochromatosis amyloidosis , and fatty liver . Alcoholism , diabetes and obesity can be causes of fatty liver . Another test result on the CMP is called alkaline phosphatase , or Alk Phos . This is an enzyme found mostly in the liver ’ s bile ducts . These are the tubes that bile flows through to exit the liver into the gallbladder and small intestine . Anything that causes obstruction to or inflammation of the bile ducts can lead to an elevated Alk Phos level . Examples of things your physician may look for include gall stones or other causes of bile duct obstruction , cancers or other masses that can block the bile ducts , and autoimmune disorders of the bile ducts , like primary sclerosing cholangitis Bilirubin is a breakdown product of the hemoglobin in our red blood cells . Red blood cells are constantly breaking down and being replenished . The end product of the metabolism of hemoglobin is bilirubin , and the liver excretes bilirubin in the bile as well as changes it in a process called conjugation into a form that can be excreted by the kidney in the urine . Elevation of bilirubin can be a clue to blockage of the bile ducts , to excessive red blood cell destruction or to failure of the liver to metabolize the bilirubin properly to Other tests in the CMP that reflect on liver function include the albumin level . The liver produces albumin , the primary intravascular protein , and low albumin levels can reflect malnutrition , chronic illness , or liver disease . There are lots of additional tests available to investigate liver function , but these are the ones commonly seen on routine office testing . As you may have noted , most reflect problems with liver inflammation , blockage of the bile ducts , or liver cell damage rather than the true function of the liver , so they should be called liver disorder tests . The term is likely here to stay , so LFTs it is . See a prior post Hepatitis C : A Sleeping Giant for more on this common cause of abnormal LFTs .

http://drrohrich.com/myths/body-contouring-and-laser-myths | Body Contouring and Laser Myths 1 . MYTH : There ’ s now a permanent cure for cellulite . REALITY There ’ s no permanent cure for cellulite , which is present in all females from age 11 – 99 . It ’ s due to estrogen . There are exciting things on the horizon , but they ’ re not here yet . 2 . MYTH : Laser liposuction is the best form of liposuction today . REALITY Not true . It has n ’ t even been proven to work as effectively as traditional liposuction . The best and most advanced liposuction remains “ UAL , ” which gives the best contour and results with the least downtime . We ’ re working on this technology at UT Southwestern , trying to develop standardized techniques that may yield more consistent and reliable results . 3 . MYTH : Fat can come back after liposuction and “ reverse ” the procedure . Fat does n ’ t come back in the same areas unless you gain over 30 percent of your body weight after liposuction . Then you can actually grow new fat ! Long - term results in body contouring demand that you change your lifestyle . With regular exercise and proper diet , you should n ’ t see fat reappear in the liposuctioned areas . 4 . MYTH : Non - surgical fat removal does n ’ t really work . Yes , it does . While it ’ s not a replacement for liposuction , in some patients there may be some benefit to both external ultrasound treatments as well as low - level laser treatments . This is an area of intense research at UT Southwestern , and we anticipate more advances in the future . It has good science behind it as well . In research done at UT Southwestern we ’ ve shown that by using focused ultrasound beams you can remove a modest amount of unwanted fat in certain areas . This is a very exciting 5 . MYTH : Extreme makeovers as seen on TV are commonly done and are very safe . It ’ s a total misconception that you can perform total body contouring and breast augmentation and teeth whitening in one setting . In general , this is n ’ t safe or recommended for most patients . 6 . MYTH : Skin tightening lasers work well and will replace facelifts in the future . There is n ’ t a predictable and reliable way to tighten the skin non - invasively . However , we do have advances in laser resurfacing that allow us to treat fine and moderate lines of the face with less discomfort and recovery . 7 . MYTH : Fractional laser skin resurfacing tightens the skin non - surgically . Despite lots of advertising to the contrary , fractional lasers are n ’ t skin - tightening devices . However , they can be a good choice to correct sun damage , discoloration , fine lines and even acne scars . A small percentage of patients may achieve some skin tightening , but this is n ’ t a predictable benefit . While fractional lasers offer minimal downtime , other types of lasers can offer more visible results . The rule of thumb is : the shorter the recovery time , the less improvement you can expect . 8 . MYTH : Mesotherapy is an easy and safe way to spot - reduce fat and lose weight . Mesotherapy is n ’ t approved by the FDA . It can be dangerous and very painful and yields little or no results . Also known as “ the French Method , ” Mesotherapy uses multiple needle injections to deliver small amounts of herbal and vitamin compounds to the middle layer of the skin . Touted as a minimally invasive procedure that treats everything from cellulite to sagging skin to excess weight , most of Mesotherapy ’ s claims are completely unfounded . 9 . MYTH : Cosmetic laser vaginal rejuvenation can tighten / tone / shrink the vaginal walls . This is primarily marketing hype and does n ’ t work . Period . Cosmetic surgical labiaplasty is different and is effective for reshaping or reducing the external genitalia . 10 . MYTH : Liposuction or a tummy tuck can jumpstart me to eat better and exercise . Eating right , exercising and lifestyle changes are imperative to optimizing success in body contouring . This must begin before surgery . 11 . MYTH : Exercising is the most important component to a weight - loss program . That ’ s incorrect . While exercising on a regular basis helps tone your body , it ’ s your daily diet that will determine how effectively you lose weight and then maintain it . A balanced diet will allow for a slow and steady weight loss . Fad diets often yield only temporary weight loss results . 12 . MYTH : Herbal diet medications are safe and effective for weight loss . Herbal medications and supplements are completely unregulated by the FDA , so you never really know what you ’ re going to get . They can often contain “ stimulants ” which may react adversely with other medications or your body . | [

http://drscavanaugh.org/dino/fossils_and_fossil_types.htm | Fossils and fossil types We learn about the earth ’ s past by studying rocks . Evidence of animals that lived long ago is preserved in rocks as fossils . Fossils are marks or material left in rock layers by living things . Fossils are created in several ways . These are some fossil types : mold hollow impression of a living thing in rock after it cast solid mineral deposit that filled a mold , leaving a copy of the living thing imprint an impression in rock made by a living thing during its life activities petrification plant or animal tissue replaced by minerals whole animal an entire plant or animal encased and preserved in ice , sap , or another material Dinosaurs are fascinating to people because they are animals that lived all over the world , then suddenly disappeared . We have learned about dinosaurs from the discovery of both body fossils and trace fossils . Body fossils include parts of the dinosaur ’ s actual body , such as teeth , bones , or scales . Body fossils are rare because they only exist in the place where the dinosaur died and was buried . Trace fossils are traces or marks of the dinosaur ’ s life , such as bite marks , nests , eggs , droppings , palaios , meaning ancient , and ichnos , meaning footprint . The first known dinosaur tracks were discovered in 1802 in Massachusetts and were first studied by Edward Hitchcock ( 1793 - 1864 ) . Hitchcock was one of the first dinosaur track scholars in the world , as a professor at Amherst College . In the 1830s , he published his first work on dinosaur footprints and is generally credited with the theory that dinosaurs had their evolutionary origin in birds . | [

http://drsircus.com/medicine/magnesium/calcification-and-its-treatment-with-magnesium-and-sodium-thiosulfate/ | HOME MEDICINE Calcification Magnesium Seed Nutrition Calcification and Its Treatment with Magnesium and Sodium Thiosulfate Published on December 8 , 2009 Cardiac CT showing calcified plaques . Calcium plays a central role in the electrical stimulation of cardiac cells and in the mechanical contraction of smooth muscle cells in the wails of arteries . Calcium is essential to health yet it holds a hidden danger that brings us to our graves much quicker then we would like . Calcium is the most promoted nutrient by proponents of conventional , nutritional , and alternative medicine . This is a great and tragic mistake . They should have been promoting magnesium . Magnesium deficiency leads to an increase in myocardial levels of both sodium and calcium . This is a problem because Coronary Artery calcium is a predictor of near - term coronary heart disease events . In the face of growing magnesium deficiencies calcium becomes increasingly more toxic to human physiology . Dr . Dean makes this clear when she says in her book The Magnesium Miracle , “ To understand how you can create a calcium / magnesium imbalance in your own body , try this experiment in your kitchen . Crush a calcium pill and see how much dissolves in 1 oz of water . Then crush a magnesium pill and slowly stir it into the calcium water . When you introduce the magnesium , the remaining calcium dissolves ; it becomes more water - soluble . The same thing happens in your bloodstream , heart , brain , kidneys Magnesium and calcium work together to control muscle action though calcium becomes a problem when there is not enough magnesium to control calcium ’ s actions . Calcium becomes a slow acting poison ( often decades of build up ) to tissues all over the body when in excess relative to magnesium in deficiency . Trace mineral symptoms of excess or deficiency depend on their ratios to other elements . In the event of calcification , it is not particularly a high calcium level that results in the formation of a stone or spur , but calcium being high in Magnesium increases the solubility of calcium in the urine . Supplementing magnesium to the diet has demonstrated significant effect in preventing recurrences of kidney stones . If calcium is not taken with magnesium or it if it is not highly absorbable , it will cause much more harm than good . Unabsorbed calcium can lodge anywhere in our body . For instances , if it lodges in your bones and joints , it mimics arthritis ; if it lodges in you heart , it mimics arterial lesions . Calcification or calcium poisoning can manifest as heart disease , cancer , wrinkled skin , kidney stones , osteoporosis , dental problems , bone spurs , cataracts and many other health problems . Calcium deposits in the joints are called arthritis ; in the blood vessels it is hardening of the arteries ; in the heart it is heart disease , and in the brain it is senility . Learn to diagnose yourself so you can treat yourself and your loved ones ! Learn More It is magnesium that actually controls bone density not calcium . Magnesium drives the calcium into the bones where low levels encourage its loss . Exceedingly few healthcare practitioners in the world have learned much about magnesium medicine so they do not know to lay off the calcium and start intensive magnesium treatments . After decades of dairy industry marketing pushing calcium we have a situation that is literally killing millions of people . Anyone who wants to live longer should pay attention to the magnesium story and should immediately begin a strong and prolonged treatment with magnesium in its chloride form . Magnesium chloride is the most versatile , absorbable and effective form of magnesium and can be used orally , transdermally and via While calcium affects muscle contractions , magnesium balances that effect and relaxes muscles . Calcium tightens the muscles ; magnesium relaxes the muscles . With insufficient magnesium the muscles stay tense and through the years may cause a cramp in the muscle . This could happen when you have too much calcium or too little magnesium . Too much calcium causes the heart to go into a spasm and it ca n ’ t relax . This is a heart attack . Get some magnesium into the body and the heart will slowly start returning to normal unless major damage As we will see in another chapter medical scientists are already creating heart patches made from sea weed and are seeing both blood and heart tissues growing and regenerating into the patches . Seaweed just happens to be high in magnesium , iodine and selenium . A great part of this book will be devoted to mercury poisoning and the tendency of it to be concentrated in cardiac tissues . Selenium is the antidote to mercury and iodine reveals one more of her secrets when it comes to cardiac care . Characterization of liver calcification . Von Kossa ( top panels ) , alizarin red S ( middle panels ) and Goldner – Masson trichrome ( bottom panels ) staining of calcified , precalcified and noncalcified liver tissue sections . Top panels , black staining indicates the presence of phosphate precipitate . Middle panels , dark grey staining indicates the presence of Ca2 + precipitate . Bottom panels , light grey staining indicates the presence of collagen . Magnification 20 . There are no pharmaceutical drugs on the market to reduce calcium deposits but magnesium chloride and sodium thiosulfate are useful in preventing and treating unwanted calcification . Together they offer the best way of combating the calcium time bomb going silently and slowly off in uncounted millions of people . The best way to track calcium toxicity is actually through looking at the level of deficiency in magnesium for magnesium controls and counteracts calcium . The average American consumes only 40 percent of the recommended daily allowance of magnesium . This has serious consequences , including death , in many Calcification consists of calcium and phosphorous and is a normal process for building healthy bones and teeth . But it also plays a central role in disease conditions such as strokes and heart attacks . Dr . H . Ray Evers writes , “ The power plant of human cell is called the “ mitochondrion . ” The mitochondrion is what generates energy for the cell to use . What everyone refers to as “ energy ” is derived from the oxidative reduction of the cellular respiration . This is done through the mitochondria . But the problem arises when the cell is low in magnesium , relative to calcium . Adenosine triphosphate , the “ energy currency ” of the cell , is magnesium dependent . This means it is obvious that the calcium pump at the cell membrane is also magnesium dependent . Without enough “ biologically available ” magnesium , the cellular calcium pump slows down . Thus a vicious cycle is established . The low levels of available magnesium inhibit the generation of energy , and the low levels of energy inhibit the calcium pump . The end result ? The mitochondrion , the powerhouse of the cell and the entire body , becomes calcified . This is the beginning of aging . It all starts in the cell . First the cells age . This leads to organ aging . And after the organs age , individual aging occurs . Since calcium is readily accumulated by mitochondria , this ion is potentially capable of antagonizing the activating influence of magnesium on many intra - mitochondrial enzyme reactions . This means that every function of your body can be inhibited when the mitochondria calcify . It ’ s like going through life with the emergency brakes on . Calcium is the brake . Magnesium is the accelerator . To be in optimal health , there must be a balance between the two . ” The higher the protein you consumer the more magnesium is needed . When large amounts of calcium are consumed , you need more magnesium . A diet which is high in calcium increases the body ’ s need for magnesium . – Dr . H . Ray Evers The higher the calcium level and the lower the magnesium level in the extra - cellular fluid , the harder it is for cells to pump the calcium out . Mitochondria produce the energy our cells and organs need . This is vitally important for the heart because heart muscle cells have a never ending need for energy . Mitochondria are also important for proper neurotransmission and are highly concentrated in cells of the brain and central nervous system . A healthy cell has high magnesium and low calcium levels . Calcifying Nanoparticles ( CNPs ) form slow - growing calcified colonies in arteries and organs , much in the same way as coral reefs form . We may say that our biochemical age is determined by the ratio of magnesium to calcium within our cells . As we age , calcium deposits tend to accumulate in our soft tissues . Doctors call it “ Extra - skeletal calcification . ” This means that the calcium that is supposed to be deposited in your bones is being lodged in our soft tissues . Up to 30 % of the energy of cells is used to pump calcium out of the cells . Deficiency in magnesium , aside from having a negative impact on the energy production pathway required by mitochondria to generate ATP , also reduces the threshold antioxidant capacity of the cardiovascular system and its resistance to free - radical damage . Magnesium acts as an antioxidant against free radical damage of the mitochondria . Magnesium has been called nature ’ s “ calcium channel blocker ” because of its ability to prevent coronary artery spasm , arrhythmias , and to reduce blood pressure . “ Calcium enters the cells of the heart by way of calcium channels that are jealously guarded by magnesium . Magnesium , at a concentration 10,000 times greater than that of calcium in the cells , allows only a certain amount of calcium to enter to create necessary electrical transmissions , and then immediately helps to eject the calcium once the work is done . Why ? If calcium accumulates in the cell , it causes hyperexcitibility and calci ? cation and disrupts cell function leading to angina , high blood pressure , arrhythmia , asthma , headaches and even Dr . Garry Gordon wrote , “ If you have compromised cell membranes or low ATP production for any reason , then the cell has trouble maintaining the normal gradient . This is because the usual gradient is 10,000 times more calcium outside of cells than inside ; when this is compromised you will have increased intracellular calcium , which seems to always happen at the time of death . Whenever intracellular calcium is elevated , you have a relative deficiency of magnesium , so whenever anyone is seriously ill , acute or chronic , part of your plan must The optimal blood serum value for vitamin D is 45 - 52 ng / ml ( 115 - 128 nmol / l ) . The adverse effects of excessive calcium intake may include high blood calcium levels , kidney stone formation and kidney complications . [ 1 ] Elevated calcium levels are also associated with arthritic / joint and vascular degeneration , calcification of soft tissue , hypertension and stroke , and increase in VLDL triglycerides , gastrointestinal disturbances , mood and depressive disorders , chronic fatigue , and general mineral imbalances including magnesium , zinc , iron and phosphorus . High calcium levels interfere with Vitamin D and subsequently inhibit the vitamin ’ s cancer protective effect unless extra amounts of Vitamin D are supplemented [ 2 ] Vitamin D works by lowering insulin resistance , which is one of the major factors in heart disease . It is also used by the thyroid gland , which secretes a hormone that regulates the body ’ s levels of calcium , which in turns helps regulate blood pressure . Cardiovascular calcification lesions can lead to the development of myocardial ischaemia , myocardial infarction , impaired myocardial function , congestive heart failure , cardiac valve insufficiency , and cardiac arrhythmias . There is a strong association between increased cardiac calcification and risk of death . Administration of vitamin D to treat secondary hyper - parathyroidism increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus . It raises serum calcium and phosphorus levels . Soft - tissue and vascular calcification are associated with a history of vitamin D therapy . [ 3 ] Changes in serum calcium do provide important information about various hormonal or organic disturbances , including excessive Vitamin D status . Magnesium and calcium share a common route of absorption in the intestinal tract and appear to have a mutually suppressive effect on each other . If calcium intake ( or dairy intake ) is unusually high , calcium will be absorbed in preference to magnesium . Also , excessive doses of vitamin D and calcium supplements can cause renal magnesium loss . Sunlight is the only safe way to get vitamin D since the body regulates how much is made . Take it by pill form and calcium homeostasis is overridden . The entire idea of toxic sunscreens and avoiding the sun ’ s life giving effects ( natural vitamin D formation ) is just one more mistake modern medicine is making . Researchers from Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola , New York , found that giving supplements of vitamin D to a group of volunteers reduced episodes of infection with colds and flu by 70 per cent over three years . The dangers of sun exposure have been greatly exaggerated by the same types of people who over exaggerate and lie about many things in medicine . Sun exposure is not the major reason people develop skin cancer . Researchers point out that increasing level of vitamin D3 could prevent many diseases that claim hundreds of thousands if not millions of people world each year . Vitamin D , the sunshine vitamin , is different from other vitamins in that it influences your entire body — receptors that respond to the vitamin have been found in almost every type of human Magnesium is essential for the normal function of the parathyroid gland and for vitamin D metabolism . Coronary artery calcification is common , is severe and is significantly associated with ischemic cardiovascular disease in adult end - stage renal disease patients . [ 4 ] The amount of calcium in the coronary arteries reliably predicts heart attack risk and is measured by what is called ones calcium score . UCLA cardiologist , Dr . Matt Budoff , a long - time champion of the Coronary Calcium Scan , and author of the AHA paper says , “ The total amount of coronary calcium ( Agatston score ) predicts coronary disease events beyond standard risk factors . ” The Coronary Calcium Score is a precise quantitative tool for measuring and tracking heart disease risk . It is more valuable and accurate than other traditional markers ( This image demonstrates coronary artery calcification . According to the University of Florida Shands Cancer Center a high level of calcium in the blood , called hypercalcemia , [ 5 ] may become a medical emergency . This disorder is most commonly caused by cancer or parathyroid disease but underneath the primary etiology is a magnesium deficiency . Hypercalcemia is commonly attributed to cancer treatment . Severe hypercalcemia is a medical emergency that can be avoided if magnesium levels are brought up to normal . Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation and prevents the calcification of our organs and tissues that is characteristic of the old - age related degeneration of our body . Magnesium inadequacy interferes with cellular metabolism and accelerates the aging of most human tissues . Most human cells can only replicate a limited number of times in cultures before they lose the ability to divide , a phenomenon known as replicative senescence . Recent studies have shown that culture in low magnesium accelerates the senescence of human endothelial cells and fibroblasts . [ 6 ] Dr . James Howenstein says “ Calcification in cellular tissues is a sign of tissue damage , cellular aging and impending cell death . When cells are unable to regulate calcium and keep the calcium content of cells down cellular function degenerates . Calcified arteries , calcium in soft tissues and high levels of calcium within cells are all signs of aging . At age 80 the average calcium content in the aorta is 140 times greater than the levels of aortic calcification noted at age 40 . ” Age 20 - 30 yearsAge 50 - 70 years In youth , at left , there is minimal plaque formation . However , at right with passage of time the plaque grows larger . About 20 % of this plaque volume contains calcium which is measurable on CAT scan , providing a marker for the total plaque burden . Calcification of atherosclerotic lesions is due to a process of active deposition of calcium in the atherosclerotic plaque that utilizes metabolic pathways similar to those found in normal human bone . Calcium accumulates steadily in plaque and its presence is verifiable via microscopic examination from the very early stages of disease formation . Having a build - up of calcium plaque in the arteries means increased risk of heart attacks and death from heart disease according to findings from the Multi - Ethnic Study The ratio of calcium to magnesium in milk is 9 or 10 to 1 . Calcium is the physiological partner of magnesium and should be present in a 2 : 1 or even 1 : 1 ratio . American women have been consuming an average of two pounds of milk per day for their entire lives , yet thirty million American women have osteoporosis . Drinking milk does not prevent bone loss . Bone loss is accelerated by ingesting too much protein , and milk has been called “ liquid meat . ” In order to absorb calcium , the body needs comparable amounts of magnesium . Countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis , such as the United States , England , and Sweden , consume the most milk . China and Japan , where people eat [ 7 ] Dietary protein increases production of acid in the blood which can be neutralized by calcium mobilized from the skeleton . [ 8 ] About 50,000 Americans die each year of problems related in some way to osteoporosis . [ 9 ] Aortic valve replacements are done when too much calcification of the heart valve leaflets takes place . According to The Cleveland Clinic , fibro - calcific degeneration most commonly affects the aortic valve . According to reports , calcified heart valves typically occurs in adults over the age of 65 . When valve leaflets are calcified , the valve leaflets become fibrotic ( thickened ) and calcified ( hardened ) , producing a narrowed valve opening . Risk factors for this type of valve disease include increased age , low body weight and high blood pressure . This photograph shows the aortic valve with a short segment of the aorta around it . The valve clearly has only two cusps ( bicuspid aortic valve ) , and is narrowed and densely calcified . If you placed your fingertip through the opening , the valve would feel hard and gritty . William R . Quesnell , author of ‘ Minerals : The Essential Link to Health , said , “ Most people have come to believe nutrition is divisible , and that a single substance will maintain vibrant health . The touting of calcium for the degenerative disease osteoporosis provides an excellent example . Every day the media , acting as proxy for the milk lobby , sells calcium as a magic bullet . Has it worked ? Definitely for sales of milk ; but for American health it has been a disaster . When you load up your system with excess calcium , you shut down magnesium ’ s ability to activate thyrocalcitonin , a hormone that under normal circumstances would send calcium to your bones . ” The most common cause of death in dialysis patients is cardiovascular disease . This is due in part to the presence of excess vascular calcification , particularly in the form of extensive coronary artery calcification , which can be observed even in very young dialysis patients . [ 10 ] The presence of coronary artery calcification in the dialysis population appears to correlate in part with the ingested quantity of calcium - containing oral phosphate binders . [ 11 ] The associations among valvular calcification , inflammation , carotid atherosclerosis , and arterial calcification suggest that valvular calcification is a marker of atherosclerosis and arterial calcification in patients with end stage renal disease . [ 12 ] Dietary surveys clearly show that magnesium , not calcium , intakes have been falling over the last fifty years . This is a problem because it is magnesium that controls the fate of calcium in the body . If magnesium is insufficient calcium will be deposited in the soft tissues ( kidneys , arteries , joints , brain , etc . ) . Countries with the highest calcium to magnesium ratios ( high calcium and low magnesium levels ) in soil and water have the highest incidence of cardiovascular disease . At the top of the list is Australia . Adequate levels of magnesium are essential for the heart muscle . Some researchers predict that the American ratio of calcium to magnesium is actually approaching 6 - to - 1 , yet , the recommended dietary ratio of calcium to magnesium in the United States is 2 - to - 1 . The process of absorption for magnesium is similar to that of Current research on the Paleolithic or caveman diet shows that the ratio of calcium to magnesium in the diet that our bodies evolved to eat is 1 - to - 1 . [ 13 ] Balancing this information is the fact that mothers breast milk is ten parts calcium to only one part magnesium so it seems that at least early in life we need less magnesium and more calcium to build strong bones Though high doses of calcium carbonate taken alone over a long period of time will lead to low magnesium levels , [ 14 ] magnesium is what is needed to encourage the correct utilization of calcium by the body to increase bone strength . [ 15 ] Researchers estimate currently that the ratio should be two parts calcium to one part magnesium . [ 16 ] Without magnesium , calcium is not fully utilized , and under absorption problems may occur leading to arthritis , osteoporosis , menstrual cramps , and some premenstrual symptoms . In contrast to skeletal muscle , cardiac muscle can not contract in the absence of extracellular calcium ions as well as extracellular potassium ions . In this sense , it is intermediate between smooth muscle , which has a poorly developed sarcoplasmic reticulum and derives its calcium across the sarcolemma ; and skeletal muscle which is activated by calcium stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum ( SR ) . The reason for the calcium dependence is due to the mechanism of calcium - induced calcium release ( CICR ) from the SR that must occur under normal excitation - contraction ( EC ) coupling to cause contraction . According to Dr . Sarah Mayhill , “ Calcium and magnesium compete for absorption and so too much calcium in the diet will block magnesium absorption . Our physiological requirement for calcium to magnesium is about 2 : 1 . In dairy products the ratio is 10 : 1 . So , consuming a lot of dairy products will induce a magnesium deficiency . ” A diet high in dairy and low in whole grains can lead to excess calcium in the tissues and a magnesium deficiency . [ 17 ] – Dr . Nan Kathryn Fuchs pH The general theory behind increased calcium intake is that calcium will combat excess acidity , thus helping to promote good health . This is only half true : While the body uses calcium as a buffer , excess calcium can also promote soft - tissue calcification . Too much calcium running amuck through your body is the real danger of excess acidity . It is far better to increase your intake of other buffers such as magnesium , which will safely buffer excess acidity without causing calcifications . Of course , eating a so - called alkaline diet and limiting your intake of acidic minerals such as phosphorus may also help . Acidic minerals can contribute to calcifications . In essence , the real danger of excess acidity is the leeching of calcium that it causes . Simply put , excess acidity equals soft - tissue calcifications . The chemical reaction of magnesium is alkaline ( acid binding ) . It regulates the acid - alkaline balance of the body . – Dr . H . Ray Evers According to Dr P Kaye , Emergency Department , Bristol Royal Infirmary , UK , “ Magnesium acts as a smooth muscle relaxant by altering extracellular calcium influx and intracellular phosphorylation reactions . It may also attenuate the neutrophilic burst associated with inflammatory bronchoconstriction by attenuating mast cell degranulation . The principal trigger for this degranulation is a rise in intracellular calcium , which is antagonised by magnesium . It has been shown experimentally to augment the bronchodilatory effect of salbutamol and to inhibit histamine induced bronchospasm . Magnesium should be used as a safe , easy to administer and [ 18 ] Medical authorities claim that the widespread incidence of osteoporosis and tooth decay in western countries can be prevented with a high calcium intake . However the opposite is true . Asian and African populations with a very low intake of about 300 mg of calcium daily have very little osteoporosis . Bantu women with an intake of 200 to 300 mg of calcium daily have the lowest incidence of osteoporosis in the world . In western countries with a high intake of dairy products the average calcium intake is about 1000 mg . With a low magnesium intake , calcium high magnesium levels leads to bone mineralization . Some gynecologists believe that one of the first organs to calcify is the ovaries , leading to pre - menstrual tension . Dr . Karen Kubena , associate professor of nutrition at Texas A & M University indicates that even if you monitor your magnesium level like a maniac , you ’ re still at risk for migraines if your calcium level is out of whack . It seems that higher than normal blood levels of calcium cause the body to excrete the excess calcium , which in turn triggers a loss of magnesium . “ Let ’ s say you have just enough magnesium and too much calcium in your blood . If calcium is excreted , the magnesium goes with As a general rule , acid substances tighten ; and alkaline substances relax . Magnesium is alkaline and relaxes the body from tightness , tension , stiffness , spasms , twitches , tics or jerkiness as in nervousness , anxiety , anger , fear , agitation , headaches , muscle cramps , menstrual cramps , arthritis , insomnia , constipation , heart palpitations , irregular heartbeats , high blood pressure , eye twitches , acne , plaque on teeth , plaque on heart and arteries due to cholesterol build - up , plaque on the brain [ Alzheimer ’ s A pH less than 5.3 indicates an inability to assimilate vitamins or minerals . Due to the alkalinity of minerals , they loosen tumors , including fibroid tumors , endometriosis , cysts , moles , warts , skin tags , and other growths , and cause them to release their toxins . Magnesium should be used to buffer acid pH , not the calcium that is being leached from the bones . Magnesium taken in proper dosages can solve the problem of calcium deficiency . – Dr . Nan Kathryn Fuchs Experts say excessive calcium intake may be unwise in light of recent studies showing that high amounts of the mineral may increase risk of prostate cancer . “ There is reasonable evidence to suggest that calcium may play an important role in the development of prostate cancer , ” says Dr . Carmen Rodriguez , senior epidemiologist in the epidemiology and surveillance research department of the American Cancer Society ( ACS ) . Rodriguez says that a 1998 Harvard School of Public Health study of 47,781 men found those consuming between 1,500 and 1,999 mg of calcium per day had about double the risk of being diagnosed with metastatic ( cancer that has spread to other parts of the body ) prostate cancer as those getting 500 mg per day or less . And those taking in 2,000 mg or more had over four times the risk of developing metastatic prostate cancer as those taking in less than 500 mg . The recommended daily allowance ( RDA ) of calcium is 1,000 mg per day for men and 1,500 mg for women . Later in 1998 , Harvard researchers published a study of dairy product intake among 526 men diagnosed with prostate cancer and 536 similar men not diagnosed with the disease . That study found a 50 % increase in prostate cancer risk and a near doubling of risk of metastatic prostate cancer among men consuming high amounts of dairy products , likely due , say the researchers , to the high total amount of calcium in such a diet . The most recent Harvard study on the topic , published in October 2001 , looked at dairy product intake among 20,885 Treatment with Sodium Thiosulfate Sodium thiosulfate ( STS ) is a calcium chelating agent with antioxidant properties . – Dr . Carlos E . Araya Figure 1 . ( A ) Initial three - phase bone scan demonstrating soft tissue accumulation in thighs , distal femur , proximal tibia , and forearms . There is intense uptake in the myocardium and early accumulation in the lungs . ( B ) Three months later , the calcium deposition in the thighs and forearms is less significant . However , there still is calcification in the heart , lungs , and para - articular surfaces . Sodium thiosulphate results in the formation of calcium thiosulphate in the urine , a compound with much higher solubility than the other calcium salts ( phosphate , oxalate ) . Thus , sodium thiosulphate could not only inhibit further nephrocalcinosis , but in some degree it could contribute to decalcification of renal parenchyma [ 19 ] The beneficial effects of sodium thiosulfate ( STS ) are thought to be due in part to its ability to enhance the solubility of calcium deposits . STS has a small molecular weight of 248 ( Na2S2O3 ) and in patients with normal renal function has a serum half - life of 15 min . STS facilitates the mobilization of calcium from vessels affected by calcium deposits . Intravenous STS seems beneficial , has mild adverse effects , and is well tolerated in children and young adults . STS dosage was 25 g / 1.73 m2 per dose intravenously . – Dr . Carlos E . Araya Dr . Carlos E . Araya et al [ 20 ] successfully used this relatively nontoxic substance , which been reported as adjuvant treatment of several conditions involving disorders of calcium homeostasis . Yatzidis described its benefits by decreasing the rate of new kidney stone development in 34 patients with recurrent calcium urolithiasis . Prompted by these excellent results , intravenous STS was administered after hemodialysis to three patients with ESRD and tumoral calcinosis for a period of 6 to 12 mo . Two of the patients had regression of the calcified mass as well as improved motility of the affected joints . STS was given for a period of 9 yr to a patient with nephrocalcinosis as a result of renal tubular acidosis type 1 . There was no further deterioration of his condition , and the discontinuation of the medication was accompanied by recurrence Body pH and Calcium Many health care professionals believe there is only one disease . And that one disease is acidosis . The wastes produced from food are highly acidic and acidosis is one of the main contributors that lead to the aging process and various illnesses . Acid waste is excreted from the human body in the form of urine or sweat . But the wastes not excreted will be circulating around in the blood , in the body . This acidic waste will gradually accumulate somewhere in our capillaries blood vessels , and eventually clog them up . Also as a consequence One of the first warning signs of an acidic biological terrain is calcium deposits . Our dietary intake of calcium is not keeping up with the calcium buffering needed and we are actively pulling calcium from our bones and teeth . It all works like a little train , from the bones to the fluids and cells , to the blood . As our biological terrain becomes acidic , our pH level drops . When this happens we start losing calcium out of the blood , the bones , and the tissues . This is a safety mechanism . Now Mild acidosis can cause such problems as : Cardiovascular damage , including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen . Weight gain , obesity and diabetes . Bladder and kidney conditions , including kidney stones . Immune deficiency . Acceleration of free radical damage , possibly contributing to cancerous mutations . Premature aging . Osteoporosis ; weak , brittle bones , hip fractures and bone spurs . Joint pain , aching muscles and lactic acid buildup . Low energy and chronic fatigue . A recent seven year study conducted at the University of California , San Francisco , on 9,000 women showed that those who have chronic acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels . The scientists who carried out this experiment believe that many of the hip fractures prevalent among middle aged women are connected to high acidity caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables . This is because the body borrows calcium from the bones in order to balance pH . American Journal of Clinical Nutrition The biggest problem scientists have found is that over time the human body becomes depleted of calcium . A compound called mono - ortho - calcium phosphate is the chemical buffer for the blood . This buffer maintains the alkaline level ( or the lack of acidity ) in your blood . Without it you would die . If the acidity level of your blood changes even slightly , you die immediately ! But in order to supply enough calcium for buffering we must have enough calcium being absorbed from our diet . If not , our body will simply The more acidic we become , the harder it is for oxygen to be present , so our biological terrain also becomes more anaerobic . Without adequate oxygenation , unfriendly bacteria , viruses , molds , and fungus can live and prosper . Then our cells can not carry on their life - giving functions in a very efficient manner because our biological chemical reactions need oxygen .

http://drsircus.com/medicine/magnesium/magnesium-asthma | HOME MEDICINE Asthma Respiratory Disease Magnesium & Asthma Published on March 1 , 2011 The vast majority of us take our breathing for granted and do not consider individuals that have asthma and how they feel when they have an attack and can not breath . It can be quite terrifying to say the least for it quickly brings on the feeling of suffocating . Despite the importance of magnesium in lung physiology , its efficacy in helping asthmatics control and even eliminate their symptoms is typically and tragically ignored . Typical Asthma medications may have saved a person ’ s day many times but their actions come with a steep price . The more you use these medications the more a person becomes subjected to their side effects . It should be obvious that when magnesium deficiencies are not addressed the need for pharmaceutical asthma medications will increase leaving a person or child even more vulnerable . Magnesium losses are notorious for occurring as a result of the drugs used specifically for asthma that open airways and reduce inflammation . A very recent study published in the Journal of Asthma ( Kazaks et al , 2010 ) , studied the effect of six months of magnesium supplementation ( 170 mg taken twice daily with food ) on pulmonary function tests , asthma control , and quality of life in patients with mild to moderate asthma . The authors found that 6 month supplementation with magnesium improved objective measures of asthma ( PFT ) along with subjective measures of quality of life and asthma control . Increasingly we see evidence of the effects of magnesium deficiency in childhood with epidemiological studies showing that patients with asthma with lower levels of magnesium than healthy controls . Research published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 2002 showed that when the diets of 2,566 children ages 11 - 19 were studied , less than 14 percent of boys and 12 percent of girls had adequate intakes of magnesium . Low magnesium intake was associated with lower measures of several lung functions ( including lung capacity and airway flow ) . [ 1 ] In a study conducted at Brigham Young University in Provo , Utah , researchers found that laboratory animals severely deficient in magnesium had much higher blood levels of histamine when exposed to substances that trigger allergies than animals getting sufficient magnesium . [ 2 ] “ The flow of calcium into and out of a cell helps regulate some cell function , ” explains Dr . Kay Franz , one the study ’ s authors . “ So it ’ s possible that a magnesium deficiency changes the permeability of mast cell membranes , allowing calcium to more easily enter cells . When that happens , histamine is released . In animals , magnesium deficiency causes the release of substances that can act on immune cells such as mast cells and basophils and make them hyperactive — more likely to release histamine , ” he [ 3 ] A person suffering an Asthma attack has certain characteristics that nearly all suffers will have including inflamed walls of the lungs which get filled with sticky thick mucus which makes breathing a difficult act . This respiratory problem is an inflammatory condition and magnesium is the most basic anti - inflammatory . Healing with Hydrogen ! You are just about to discover how brilliant , safe and effective modern medicine can be . Get Started Many asthma sufferers use two types of asthma medication routinely – one to deal with the inflammation over the long term and the other is an everyday asthma intervention like an inhalator for more immediate use but neither addresses any of the causes of asthma meaning they do not offer any cure . Asthma and Allergies The relationship between asthma and allergies is a strong one . Asthma is often triggered by allergies of all kinds — food allergies , pollutants , dust , mold , chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs . “ Magnesium deficiency definitely accentuates the allergic situation , ” says Terry M . Phillips , D . Sc . Ph . D . , director of the immunogenetics and immunochemistry laboratory at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington , D.C. and author of Winning the War Within People with the digestive disorder known as celiac disease are more likely to develop another disorder involving the immune system : asthma , according to a new study . Specifically , a group of European researchers found that people with celiac disease were 60 percent more likely to develop asthma , relative to those without celiac . Indeed , for every 100,000 people with celiac disease , 147 will have asthma that would not have occurred in the absence of the digestive disorder . Those diagnosed with asthma were also more likely to eventually develop celiac disease , the authors Pediatric Concerns Dr . Allan Becker at the University of Manitoba looked at 14,000 boys and girls born in 1995 and found that as many as 14 percent had asthma . “ We ’ re talking about one in seven children — that ’ s a huge proportion of the pediatric population , ” Becker says . “ It ’ s in every classroom , every school , and many , many families . It ’ s huge . ” This reality is reflected in the population at large . Asthma affects about three million people in this country , six out Treatments By employing transdermal and oral magnesium , and glutathione mixed with sodium bicarbonate via nebulization an asthma sufferer will need less medication for these medicinals will diminish the lung inflammation and help natural breathing . Acupuncture is another approach that often yields good results even in the middle of an asthmatic crisis . Increasing magnesium levels can help prevent allergy and asthma attacks . Increasing a person ’ s or child ’ s magnesium intake can make a big difference in not only overall heath but also prevent allergies and asthma . Maintaining proper levels of magnesium in the body helps by relaxing airway smooth muscle and dilating bronchioles in the lungs . It also In an asthma attack , the airways ( passages to the lungs ) narrow from muscle spasms and swelling ( inflammation ) . Bronchodilator drugs ( reliever inhalers ) can be used to relax the muscles and open the airways , and corticosteroid drugs to reduce the inflammation . But magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride are also considered drug when administered in hospitals via injection or IV drip . Magnesium also affects muscles and reduces inflammation as well but without the dangers and side effects of these pharmaceuticals . Among asthmatics with acute exacerbation of asthma , intravenous ( IV ) administration of magnesium sulfate may improve bronchodilation and improve airflow . For patients with the most severe airflow obstruction , IV magnesium sulfate appears to provide important clinical benefits , including a lower rate of hospital admission from the emergency department . Magnesium has been used in hospitals to help relieve the symptoms of life - threatening , drug - resistant asthma attacks and to diminish the effects of the asthma drugs used [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Special Note : Some research has found that inhaling glutathione in mildly asthsmatic people may cause bronchospasm due to sulfite formation . The connection to good glutathione levels is crucial in asthsma , but needs to be weighed against the risk of bronchospasm when inhaled . Caution must be used at all times and glutathione levels may be more safely raised in asthsmatic people by oral or other means . Proper medical supervision is advised at all times when athsma is a risk so as not to cause undue stress on this very sensitive bronchial tissue .

http://drtunisjr.com/feeling-depressed-its-all-in-your-stomach/ | Feeling Depressed ? It ’ s All In Your Stomach . by Dr . Tunis Hunt | Follow Him on Twitter HERE . Having difficulty concentrating , remembering details , or making decisions ? What about feeling fatigued or decreased energy ? Do you have a loss for appetite or other activities or hobbies that were once pleasurable ? Are you having thoughts of suicide or death ? If you answered yes to any of the previous questions , there is a good chance that you are having symptoms of depression . According to statistics , 1 in every 20 Americans are depressed accounting for over 230 million antidepressants prescribed every year . This epidemic has catapulted the psychiatry field and pharmaceutical industry into a $ 80 billion per year industry . Despite all the medical advancement and development of these drugs , more individuals are suffering from depression symptoms than any time in history . In fact , more and more children are being put on antidepressants every year leading to an epidemic of bi - polar disorders . Studies published in prestigious journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of American College of Cardiology , have indicated that there are serious risks with these drugs . Statistics show that there are over 700,000 adverse reactions and 42,000 deaths per year as a result of antidepressant use ! This is extremely concerning because most doctors give antidepressants out like they are candy . And the most disturbing fact about the overuse of these drugs is - they DO N ’ T TREAT THE REAL CAUSE ! The majority of Depression is “ believed ” to be a result of a Serotonin imbalance that occurs in your brain . Two main mechanisms are typically to blame . The first issue revolves around the receptors grabbing the serotonin too quickly or not releasing it back in a timely manner . The other mechanism is a decrease in the total amount of serotonin available in the body . In both scenarios , antidepressants are used to “ trick ” the body into believing that the body has more serotonin than it actually does . They work by blocking the receptors of serotonin allowing the serotonin to stay “ available ” for longer periods of time . The truth is , however , the real problem is n ’ t in your head , it ’ s in your stomach The majority of the serotonin in your body is actually made by cells located in your stomach . Enterochromaffin cells are located throughout your intestinal lining and produce 90 % of the serotonin for your body . Once created , the serotonin travels up to the brain where it is stored for use . The REAL cause of the depression that a majority of people feel is a result of low serotonin production by these cells . A GI problem is causing a neurological symptom ! Think about it . This occurs all the time . Can you remember the last time you were sick ? How did you feel ? Tired . Drowsy . Brain Fog . Achy . All of these symptoms are neurological , yet the cause of these symptoms are immune . You mostly likely had a viral or bacterial infection ( immune problem ) yet all of your symptoms were neurological . You can take all the anti - depressants you want but you will NEVER address the true cause of your symptoms . Instead you need to have your GI system evaluated and see if there is an underlying issue disrupting your serotonin production . Case in point : A friend of mine recently shared a story about his mother . He shared that his mother was feeling depressed and that she was having a very difficult time . In fact , it got so serious that he went over to her house late one evening to console her . Thankfully , this friend is an excellent doctor , so he ordered a GI test that evaluated her system . The test results indicated that she had a Parasite . This parasite was creating an adverse affect on her GI system and was reducing her serotonin levels . This , of coarse , made her feel depressed . My friend treated her with the proper parasitic protocol and his mom returned to normal . Could you imagine if she would have gone to most conventional doctors ? She would be on at least one , maybe two , anti - depressant right now and no closer to fixing the true cause of her problem . In addition to parasites , we often find that one of a myriad of digestive problems are typically the cause of the feeling of depression in our clients . Improper bacteria , yeast , fungi , and food intolerance are often chief culprits that create depression symptoms . When we address these causes the depression disappears and the need for anti - depressants are eliminated . Too often , individuals with depression symptoms are simply dismissed and given an antidepressant . If this is you , or if you know someone who is battling depression , please encourage them to seek a health care provider who will be willing to take a comprehensive approach to their health . Depression is very real , but with the proper approach and treatment it can be eliminated . About the Author : Dr . Tunis Hunt Jr is a healthcare professional serving the Charlotte , NC area .

Yes , you can get addicted to Benadryl . But it ’ s rare . When do you develop tolerance to the sedative effects of diphenhydramine ? When does Benadryl addiction occur ? And are you at risk ? We review here . October 27 , 2011 3 minute read Lee Weber Author of " The Definitive Guide to Addiction Interventions " Sometimes . If you are taking Benadryl as prescribed , your chances of becoming addicted to the active ingredients found in the antihistamine are relatively low . But if you are taking Benadryl for euphoric effect , risk of Benadryl addiction increases . We review here . Benadryl chemistry and use Benadryl is an antihistamine used for the temporary relief of allergy symptoms , motion sickness and in the treatment of Parkinson ’ s Disease . However , the active ingredient in Benadryl ( diphenhydramine ) can also affect the central nervous system and has been used medically as a sleep aid and a cough suppressant . Non - medically , people may seek the significant sedative side effects of the drug and abuse Benadryl for euphoric effect . In other words , many over the counter and Rx drugs do not have euphoric effect . For example , getting high on ibuprofen and taking trazodone to get high is impossible . But Benadryl is different . Some people can feel high on Benadryl . What does Benadryl do in the body ? Diphenhydramine is a H1 receptor antagonist , which works by blocking the effect of histamine in the body and results in relief from allergy symptoms . However , the chemical reactions that diphenhydramine trigger in the body may also other effects , including significant sedative side effects on the central nervous system . The effects of Benadryl are dose dependent and peak plasma concentrations of diphenhydramine occur 2 - 3 hours after ingestion . The effects of Benadryl usually last 4 - 6 hours . Benadryl central nervous system effects include : abnormal sensations ( “ pins and needles ” ) blurred vision confusion convulsions disturbed coordination dizziness euphoria excitation fatigue inflammation of a peripheral nerve or nerves insomnia irritability nervousness restlessness sedation sleepiness tinnitus tremor vertigo Mixing Benadryl with other substances Benadryl is known to have adverse reactions when mixed with other medications or substances . Effects of diphenhydramine are increased by the presence of MAOI ’ s , diazepam , hypnotics , sedatives , tranquilizers , and other central nervous system depressants . Like other drugs , mixing diphenhydramine with alcohol can be dangerous and should be avoided ( can you mix Adderall and alcohol ? ) . If you take Benadryl and drink alcohol , the sleepy , drowsy , or lightheaded sensations of alcohol may be amplified … but you are at increased risk for overdose on Benadryl and can cause serious harm to yourself and others . Ready for help ? Call us today . You do n ’ t need to face addiction on your own . 1 - 888 - 882 - 1456 How do you get addicted to Benadryl ? It is rare that people who take Benadryl as prescribed report dependence or withdrawal effects within recommended doses ( 25 - 50 mg diphenhydramine every 6 - 8 hours , not to exceed 50 - 100 mg every 4 - 6 hours . ) . But you should know if you take Benadryl repeatedly , or at higher than recommended doses . over time you can develop a physical tolerance to diphenhydramine . In other words , you will need to take more Benadryl to achieve the same effects . But physical dependence is not the same as addiction . If you are taking Benadryl for the central nervous system effects of sedation or euphoria , you may also develop psychological dependence on diphenhydramine . Psychological dependence on drugs is a mental obsession with your drug of choice , and craving the drug even though taking it does you harm . So , Benadryl addiction occurs when your body both develops tolerance for diphenhydramine , you go through withdrawal when you stop taking it , AND you crave Benadryl despite negative consequences drug use has brought in your life .

Cocaine overdose : How much amount of cocaine to overdose ? How can you tell that someone is OD - ing on cocaine ? We review unintential cocaine overdose here . February 2 , 2014 3 minute read Lee Weber Author of " The Definitive Guide to Addiction Interventions " What provokes a cocaine overdose ? Starting from dosage to overdose complications and signs of overdose , we review signs , symptoms , and prognosis for cocaine overdose . Stay with us and we invite you to ask your personal questions about cocaine overdose or risks of snorting cocaine at the end . How does unintentional cocaine overdose happen ? Cocaine is a crystalline alkaloid obtained from the leaves of the coca plant . Because cocaine is highly addictive , cocaine is significantly more dangerous compared to other central nervous system stimulants ( including the entire class of amphetamine drugs ) . So , when we talk about overdose , the best way to describe cocaine overdose is using the term “ intoxication ” , which manifest as immediate effects of too much cocaine in the system . Cocaine overdose – How much is too much ? Common doses of cocaine vary between 10 - 120 mg . The estimated minimal lethal dose of cocaine is 1.2 g , but individuals with hypersensitivity to cocaine have died from as little as 30 mg . Still , this is usually not the case with cocaine addicts , who develop a high tolerance to cocaine in the central nervous system . In fact , some cocaine addicts with considerable tolerance have reported that they can tolerate up to 5 g of cocaine daily . Cocaine overdose complications The biggest risk with most drug overdose is that people do not take as recommended . But that is not the case with cocaine . In fact , most cocaine deaths are accidental , usually because some of its effects increase risk of pre - existing health conditions , such as the elevated blood pressure . Additionally , repeated doses of cocaine administered to avoid the crash that often follows the initial intense euphoric effects put you at risk of overdose . Cocaine overdose also occurs when used in combination with other drugs such as a cocaine and alcohol mix Ready for help ? Call us today . You do n ’ t need to face addiction on your own . 1 - 888 - 882 - 1456 The most common signs of cocaine OD include : abdominal pain agitation cerebral hemorrhage chills convulsions death from respiratory failure delirium , unconsciousness enhanced reflexes hallucinations headache heart failure hostility irregular respiration nausea rise in body temperature seizures stroke tachycardia vomiting Cocaine overdose prognosis The prognosis of cocaine overdose depends on many factors . Overdose from cocaine can be a very painful experience , among other things . And it takes time for the body to return to its stable condition after you OD . The body requires time to not only metabolize cocaine , but to normalize additional symptoms . For example , depression with suicidal ideation may develop in very heavy users . There is no officially approved specific antidote for cocaine overdose . Emergency treatment for cocaine overdose often consists of administering a benzodiazepine sedation agent , such as diazepam ( Valium ) to decrease the elevated heart rate and blood pressure . In order to treat hyperthermia the physical cooling method ( ice , cold blankets , etc … ) may be used . There are specific treatments developed for any further complications . Cocaine overdose death rate High doses of cocaine due to the effects on sodium channels can cause cardiac attack . Do n ’ t let your loved one suffer . Addiction responds to treatment . Call us to get started . 1 - 888 - 882 - 1456 Unlike other drugs , cocaine has certain qualities that make it cross the blood - brain barrier quickly , which can lead to brain shutdown . Statistics indicate that 100 people die per day from drug overdoses each day in USA . After marijuana , cocaine is the second most used illicit drug in USA and causes three times more death rates than any other illicit drug . In fact , nearly 500,000 cocaine users visit the ED due to cocaine overdose annually ; over 7,000 of them are fatalities .

http://drug.addictionblog.org/do-you-get-high-if-you-eat-weed/ | Addiction Blog → Drug → Marijuana Do you get high if you eat weed ? Do you get high if you eat weed ? Yes . Eating weed can get you high . But it usually takes longer and is less intense than inhaling marijuana smoke . More on bioavailability of marijuana smoked vs . eaten here . Plus , what to do if you want to quit weed totally . October 23 , 2011 4 minute read Lee Weber Author of " The Definitive Guide to Addiction Interventions " Yes . You get high when you eat marijuana . But it usually takes longer and is not as intense as inhaling marijuana smoke . But the high lasts longer , and is highly detectable in urine after eating it . Marijuana is usually smoked in a pipe or cigarette but can also be mixed in baked goods and ingested orally as a pill or capsule ( dronabinol or oral THC ) . Weed and brain damage effects are currently be investigated by scientists , and may be equally damaging after chronic use whether you are smoking or eating marijuana . Here , we present information on bioavailability of eaten marijuana , issues in drug testing , as well as how to quite marijuana if you think that you have a problem . Please feel free to ask your questions about weed below . We ’ ll be happy to respond with a personal answer ASAP . Marijuana bioavailability Bioavailability is the the degree and rate that drugs like marijuana are absorbed into the body or are made available at the site of physiological activity . The bioavailability of marijuana is different when you eat it versus when you smoke it . In other words , how fast , how long , and how intensely you feel the effects of marijuana depend on how you use it . There are three main points that we ’ d like to explain here about HOW marijuana administration affects euphoric sensation ( the feeling of being high ) . 1 . Onset – If you breathe in marijuana smoke , euphoric effects occur within seconds or minutes of inhalation ( although smoking weed and lung damage risk increases ) . If you eat foods containing weed , effects occur after a longer period of time ( 30 - 60 minutes ) because delta - 9 - tetrahydrocannabinol ( THC ) must first be metabolized by the digestive system . Ready for help ? Call us today . You do n ’ t need to face addiction on your own . 1 - 888 - 882 - 1456 2 . Length – If you eat marijuana , the duration of euphoric effect ( feeling high ) tends to last longer than if you inhale marijuana smoke , although the intensity may be less . 3 . Drug testing – Eating weed increases amounts of cannabinoids in urine , making drug detection more likely . Why it takes longer to get high when you eat weed When cannabis is ingested by mouth , there is a low ( 6 % – 20 % ) and variable oral bioavailability . Why does this happen ? Well , basically , bioavailability of cannabinoids is reduced after oral ingestion due to extensive first pass metabolism . Orally administered drugs must pass through the intestinal wall and then are metabolized by the liver before they reach systemic circulation . And it is this process of slower absorption into the bloodstream that is associated with more delayed peak levels of THC in the body . By contrast , inhaled marijuana smoke bypasses the body ’ s digestive system and therefore the effects are more intense and occur more rapidly than oral ingestion . When inhaled , cannabinoids enter the bloodstream quickly from the lungs to the left side of the heart , where they enter the arterial circulation that carries them to the brain . When inhaled , cannabinoids like THC reach a peak concentration in 2 to 10 minutes , declining rapidly for a period of 30 minutes and with less generation of the psychoactive 11 - OH metabolite . Do n ’ t let your loved one suffer . Addiction responds to treatment . Call us to get started . 1 - 888 - 882 - 1456 Eating weed decreases your high , but it lasts longer Peak plasma concentrations of THC occur 1 to 6 hours after you orally ingest marijuana and remain elevated with a terminal half - life of 20 to 30 hours . So not only do cannabinoids take longer to act , but the body begins to metabolize them before they can act on the brain . Enzymes in the stomach , intestines , and liver begin breaking down the drugs so they can be cleared from the body . Therefore , eating weed results in lower THC concentrations than after inhaling marijuana smoke . Still , some cannabinoids do not lose their potency as a result of being ingested . Dronabinol and THC - COOH are present in equal concentrations in plasma and concentrations peak at approximately 2 - 4 hours after either oral or inhaled smoke dosing . Is eating weed more risky on drug tests ? Yes . Oral ingestion of marijuana in cooked brownies during clinical trials has led to excretion of highly concentrated amounts of cannabinoid in urine . Although marijuana smokers can potentially measure and adjust the balance of weed effect and thus their amount of marijuana exposure , the effects of oral ingestion of marijuana are slow in onset and do not allow you to adjust dosage . Therefore , the amounts of 9 - carboxy - THC in urine after oral ingestion were , at times , substantially higher than those observed after smoking equivalent doses . Start your recovery today .

Opiate medications are surprisingly easy to obtain . In fact , an estimated 210 million prescriptions for opiates were dispensed in 2010 alone . Frighteningly , prescription opiate abusers are far more likely to eventually develop a heroin addiction than a non - opiate abuser , as heroin will offer a similar high at a cheaper price . Any long - term use puts you at risk of addiction , even if the substance is used as prescribed . Many people who use opiates will develop a tolerance to them - - a phenomenon that can trigger the cycle of addiction . This means that the same amount of the drug no longer has the same effect as it once did . When this occurs , people routinely take more and more of the substance to elicit the desired response . This ever - increasing dosing places one at great risk for overdose . Video : The Deadly Truth About Opiates 1 - 888 - 744 - 0069 Treatment Advisors Are On Call 24 / 7 Who Answers ? Thinking About Getting Rehab ? Signs and Symptoms A major indicator of opiate addiction is continued use of the substance even when there are negative repercussions in place for doing so . Physical signs that someone may be abusing an opiate include : Noticeable elation / euphoria . Marked sedation / drowsiness . Confusion . Constricted pupils . Slowed breathing . Intermittent nodding off , or loss of consciousness . Constipation . Other signs of opiate abuse include : Doctor shopping ( getting multiple prescriptions from different doctors ) . Shifting or dramatically changing moods . Extra pill bottles turning up in the trash . Social withdrawal / isolation . Sudden financial problems . Withdrawal symptoms can mimic flu symptoms and include : Headache . Nausea and vomiting . Diarrhea . Sweating . Fatigue . Anxiety . Inability to sleep . Effects of Opiate Abuse Often , the facts about the effects of opiate use are misleading because they may only focus on the short - term impact . For example , opiates often cause vomiting and diarrhea , sedation and delayed reactions in the short term . What ' s not often mentioned , however , are the long - term symptoms . Long - term symptoms include : Weakened immune system functioning . Gastric problems ranging from the troublesome ( e.g. , constipation ) to severe ( e.g. , intestinal ileus , bowel perforation ) . A plethora of medical issues secondary to intravenous administration ( e.g. , localized abscesses , embolic events , systemic infection , contraction of bloodborne illnesses ) . Significant respiratory depression ; cumulative hypoxic end - organ injury . Opiate Abuse Treatment Opiate recovery typically starts with questions related to the nature of the addiction , such as : How long have you taken the drug ? When was the last time you took the drug ? How do you usually get your supply ? These questions will help the clinic to decide what treatment approach would be most appropriate . Three major options for opiate treatment include detoxification ( or , simply , detox programs ) , inpatient rehabilitation , and outpatient therapy . Detox involves withdrawing from the drug , often slowly with the use of stabilizing and maintenance medication under the supervision of a medical treatment team . If you ' re detoxing from powerful opiates , you might be prescribed methadone or buprenorphine to make the transition more manageable . Detoxification is completed on an inpatient basis to maintain safety . Following the transition from detox , most will be referred for continued treatment via residential rehab or outpatient therapy depending on a number of factors . Influencing the decision for treatment type is the individual ' s level of opiate use , the presence of any home or family supports , amounts of insurance coverage / resources to cover care , as well as taking into account any previous attempts at recovery . Rehab typically lasts anywhere from 30 to 90 days with much of the time being devoted to individual therapy , group therapy , and other activities that help promote recovery from opiates and other substances . During therapy , you will attend sessions with a therapist or counselor . This will help you to uncover the triggers of your addiction . It helps to impart effective coping skills to resist the temptation of drugs while seeking out helpful supports . It can also help you reconnect with your family and friends . In conjunction with outpatient treatment , some in recovery may require more support . For someone in recovery from opiate addiction , this might take the form of a halfway house or sober living facility , which gives former users the chance to get sober and rebuild their lives in a safe and supportive environment . Others may simply need a peer support group , such as Narcotics Anonymous Opiate Statistics More than 210 million opiate prescriptions were filled in 2010 , with close to 12 million people admitting to abusing these drugs by taking them for non - medical reasons . Per the CDC , certain studies reveal that as many as three out of every four current heroin users were previously prescription opiate abusers . The amount of painkillers prescribed in 2010 was enough to medicate every American 24 hours day a day for one month . Deaths from opiate painkillers outnumber deaths from all illicit drugs combined . Teen Opiate Abuse Teen opiate use tends to be focused on Vicodin and OxyContin , as these are the most relatively easy opiates for many teens obtain . Also , younger users will be more likely to use these substances due to misperceptions regarding risk . According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse , in 2014 : Only 1 % of high school seniors used heroin in their lifetime . 3 % of high school seniors used OxyContin during the last year . 8 % of high school seniors used Vicodin during the last year . Teens are likely to combine an opiate with alcohol ( another depressant ) , leading to more dangerous effects - - including heightened risk of experiencing severe respiratory depression . Resources , Articles , and More Information The CDC has a number of articles on drug abuse , particularly with regard to prescription opiate abuse . In addition , NIDA has an article on treatments typically used for opiate addiction .

Those addicted to prescription opiates like oxycodone are 40 times more likely to develop a heroin abuse problem . Oxycodone is a pain - relieving drug that is prescribed frequently to address moderate to severe pain . The substance is found alone and in combination with other pain relievers in a tablet form under several brand names including : OxyContin – oxycodone ; both immediate and controlled release formulations . OxyIR and OxyFast – oxycodone immediate release . Percodan – oxycodone and aspirin . Percocet – oxycodone and acetaminophen . Oxycodone is synthesized , in part , by chemical modification of opioid precursor molecules which are obtained from the opium poppy . Despite being manufactured in a lab , oxycodone impacts the user in ways similar to other legal and illegal opioids . Also , like other opiate and opioid drugs , oxycodone is capable of delivering a powerful high — rendering it a potential drug of abuse for an alarming number of individuals . Additionally , oxycodone use will put someone at risk for developing tolerance and dependence . People are at risk of these phenomena even when the medication is taken as prescribed and , over time , addiction may be the end result .

Thinking About Getting Rehab ? Signs and Symptoms When someone uses oxycodone they will experience a range of signs and symptoms related to its activity at opioid receptors throughout the body — essentially depressing multiple functions throughout the body in a manner consistent with other opioid substances . The signs will vary somewhat depending on the specific formulation of oxycodone . Controlled release OxyContin will provide signs that may be of lower intensity that last for an extended period – as long as 12 hours – whereas drugs like OxyIR and other immediate release variants can trigger stronger symptoms for a shorter duration . The specific dose and the method used to consume the substance will additionally influence the impact on an individual as well . Some of the ill - advised alternate routes of administration of oxycodone include crushing the tablets and either snorting them , or dissolving them in aqueous solution to be injected . Desirable Effects Perceptions of less physical pain . Feelings of joy and happiness referred to as euphoria . Release of muscular tension . Mental calm or relaxation . Unwanted Signs and Symptoms Slowed or difficult breathing . Constipation . Nausea and vomiting . Confusion . Alternating periods of sleep and consciousness .

Credit : Vocativ Effects of Oxycodone Abuse Oxycodone is considered an opioid receptor agonist . One of the effects of this molecular interaction between the drug and receptor is in increasing dopamine activity in key brain regions . Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter , in part responsible for the effects of the drug . Also , dopamine is associated with the brain ' s reward system — meaning that people experiencing this type of dopaminergic activity will value the sensation and try to repeat it in the future . This leads to abuse of the drug and , as previously mentioned , some of the effects of abuse include tolerance , physiological dependence and , ultimately , addiction . Tolerance As the body continues to experience the effects of oxycodone , it begins to adjust to the levels so that the same amount will have a decreased effect This process is called tolerance With tolerance in place , the user will seek out more of the substance to achieve the desired effects of the drug . People that begin using the drug in excess of prescribed amounts , using it for reasons other than prescribed , and using oxycodone that is not prescribed to them are displaying indicators of addiction Addiction An addiction is likely to have taken hold at the point that a person continues to use a substance that they know is having an unwanted influence in their life . People addicted to oxycodone may Lie and steal to obtain more of the drug . Display changed interests and personality characteristics . Neglect other aspects of life while devoting more attention to obtaining and using oxycodone . Try to acquire more of the substance by providing false medical histories to medical professionals , forging prescriptions or visiting multiple doctors to receive multiple prescriptions . Continue use even when confronted by medical , interpersonal , legal or financial hardships . Dependence and Withdrawal Oxycodone addiction is related to dependence . Dependence is when the brain becomes so accustomed to the presence of – as well as physical and mental effects of a drug – that it can not function normally without it . Once dependence is established , the user will need to maintain a supply of " oxy " or face withdrawal symptoms like : Rebound pain , or increased pain sensitivity . Restlessness and agitation . Inability to sleep . Gastrointestinal problems including appetite changes , diarrhea , nausea and vomiting . Diaphoresis or excessive sweating . Feeling cold and shivering . Interestingly , people using other opiate or opioid substances – such as heroin – will sometimes use drugs containing oxycodone to reduce or eliminate their own withdrawal symptoms . Oxycodone Abuse Treatment The withdrawal symptoms of oxycodone can be quite uncomfortable and long lasting . Because of this , individuals attempting to quit oxycodone often benefit from seeking professional treatment . Depending on the amount , frequency , and duration of time using oxycodone , a supervised detox may be recommended . Detoxification is the purposeful reduction of oxycodone in the body . This is often completed in an inpatient setting so that medical professionals can tend to the patient — ensuring safety and comfort During this process , other medications may be prescribed to reduce cravings and other unpleasant symptoms . When detox is complete , patients can be referred to a number of treatment options such as : Residential rehabilitation . Outpatient treatment . Mental health / dual diagnosis treatment . Residential rehab programs have the patient in recovery living at the treatment center for a period of time . Treatment program lengths vary , but tend to ranging from several weeks to several months — a period throughout which there is intensive focus on recovery throughout each day . Addiction therapy can be administered via outpatient programs as well . Outpatient addiction treatment is less time intensive than inpatient or residential programs , but typically involves daily or weekly ( depending on level of need ) counseling and education sessions to discuss recovery and learn methods to maintain abstinence . Statistics on Oxycodone Abuse Oxycodone has been a dangerous substance growing in popularity over the last 20 years . Consider these statistics from the Drug Enforcement Administration Nearly 60 million prescriptions for oxycodone - containing drugs were written in 2013 . In 2012 , 16 million people reported abusing oxycodone in their lifetime , which is an increase of more than a million individuals compared with the previous year . In 2011 , oxycodone was responsible for more than 150,000 ER visits . In 2009 , law enforcement documented more oxycodone - related infractions than any other prescription drug .

The Effects of Bath Salts Use Reviewed By Erik MacLaren , PhD Table of Contents Are Bath Salts Harmful ? Short - Term Effects of Bath Salts Side Effects Long - Term Effects of Bath Salts Bath Salts Dependency Bath Salts Addiction Treatment Are Bath Salts Harmful ? The term " bath salts " refers to a family of designer recreational drugs that contain one or more synthetic chemicals related to cathinone - - a stimulant found in the khat plant , with effects similar to amphetamine . The name " bath salts " and the ubiquitous , intentionally misleading warning that these products are " not for human consumption " arose from efforts by the illicit manufacturers and sellers to sidestep drug laws . Other labels for these drugs include : " Plant food . " " Jewelry cleaner . " " Phone screen cleaner . " Bath salts have been called a variant of cocaine , methamphetamine , or ecstasy ( MDMA ) - - as their stimulant features are quite similar in nature . Additionally , like cocaine , bath salts are frequently crystalline in appearance , and can be purchased on the street . They can be injected , snorted , or taken as tablets . What Are the Dangers ? The most common cathinone - like chemicals found in bath salts are mephedrone , methylenedioxypyrovalerone ( MDPV ) , or methylone , but the exact composition of the different products sold as bath salts varies extensively . This variation presents one significant danger of taking bath salts since a user can never be sure of what combination of chemicals , nor what drug dose is being ingested Bath salts have been known to be harmful to users and those around the users for several reasons . These drugs can produce side effects like : Psychosis ( which can lead to a person causing himself or others serious harm ) . Dizziness . Heart problems . Ulcers . Loss of coordination . Malnutrition . Arguably , the most dangerous side effect of these drugs is the risk of addiction . Addiction causes a user to lose self - control and potentially to lose touch with reality . This can lead to taking more of the drug over time and additional dangerous side effects . 1 - 888 - 744 - 0069 Treatment Advisors Are On Call 24 / 7 Who Answers ? Thinking About Getting Rehab ? Short - Term Effects of Bath Salts The effects of bath salts are diverse and inconsistent between different batches due to the variable nature of substances labeled as " bath salts . " However , the effects caused by same type of bath salts may vary between different users and also depend on the dose taken and the method of ingestion . The common " positive " short - term effects sought by most abusers are similar to other stimulants like cocaine and can include : You do n ' t have to live with addiction . Learn about treatment now and reclaim your life . Euphoria . Increased alertness and energy . Enhanced empathy and ability to interact socially . Intensified sensory experiences . Increased libido . Reduced appetite . Side Effects In addition to the effects desired by abusers , there are many serious side effects associated with the use of bath salts . These can impact a person starting with the first time they take the drug , and it does not need to be used for a long period of time or in high doses before negative side effects occur . Some adverse effects are dangerous and may result in death if they are not treated . Physical Side Effects Increased heart rate . High blood pressure . Chest pain . An increase in the risk for heart attacks and strokes . Confusion . Headaches . Seizures . Nausea and abdominal pain . Anorexia . Dilated pupils . Blurred vision . Drowsiness . Tingling in the extremities ( paresthesia ) . Erratic behavior . Psychiatric Side Effects Agitation . Aggression . Anxiety . Panic attacks . Paranoia and delusions . Visual and auditory hallucinations . Psychosis . Depression . Suicidal thoughts . Self - injurious behaviors . There are also many other symptoms that can occur . The precise effects of bath salts on the brain are unknown ; however , these chemicals work similarly to other psychostimulants like cocaine and methamphetamine , which makes it likely that the effects of bath salts on neural pathways is similar as well . This results in overlapping addiction profiles for bath salts and other stimulants . Long - Term Effects of Bath Salts In addition to being addictive , bath salts - like many stimulant drugs - can result in dangerously erratic behavior and , over time , contribute to the development of psychoses and mood disorders . The long - term effects of bath salts include many serious side effects that can result in serious injury or death . In addition to being addictive , bath salts - like many stimulant drugs - can result in dangerously erratic behavior and , over time , contribute to the development of psychoses and mood disorders . Some of the most serious side effects include mood disorders , since these can result in profound depressed states and potential suicide attempts . Self - mutilation and delirium are both common with the use of this drug over time . Death is also not uncommon with long - term use of bath salts . Potential Side Effects Liver failure . Kidney damage . Bone pain . Severe depression . Psychosis . A loss of coordination . Heart problems . Dizziness . Mood disorders . Ulcers . Malnutrition . Tolerance . Addiction . Side Effects from Injection Drug Use In addition to the negative effects from the drug itself , abusers who inject bath salts face additional , and possibly lethal , toxic side effects including : Vein blockage . Skin erosion . Infection at the injection sites . Abscesses . Gangrene . Blood clots . Increased risk of HIV , hepatitis , and other blood - borne illnesses . Bath Salts Dependency A bath salts dependency can be very serious , especially since this drug has so many inherently dangerous health effects . Dependency is usually preceded by tolerance . As the body adapts to repeated use of bath salts , tolerance will develop and the user will need to take progressively larger doses in order to achieve the same effects . This can increase the likelihood of dangerous side effects or a potentially fatal overdose . Dependency occurs when a user ca n ' t stop taking the drug , without experiencing negative physical or psychological withdrawal symptoms . In cases of substance dependency , the body needs the drug and has become dependent on it . Dependency is sometimes considered a precursor to addiction . Addiction is further characterized by an inability to deal with everyday life without the substance and a compulsion to continue taking the drug despite negative life consequences , such as serious health problems , financial stresses , family conflicts , etc . A person addicted to bath salts may : Crave the drug intensely . Experience intense anxiety at the prospect of quitting the drug . Lose touch with reality . Bath Salts Addiction Treatment Withdrawal and Detoxification The clinical picture of bath salts withdrawal can be virtually indistinguishable from other stimulants , such as methamphetamine or cocaine . Medically supervised detox can help streamline this uncomfortable process and encourage the patient to continue on to a long - term program of recovery . The treatment of bath salts abuse comes in many different steps . Medical monitoring is often necessary , and doctors and nurses are usually present to give attention to a patient as new needs and withdrawal symptoms arise . Sedatives and anti - anxiety medications may be used to help alleviate the emotional and physical withdrawal symptoms . Psychiatric or other qualified mental health staff will remain vigilant throughout the period of detoxification and withdrawal , as anxiety and depression are frequent stimulant withdrawal manifestations . Addiction Treatment After detoxification , patients may attend an inpatient or outpatient drug rehabilitation program , depending on their individual needs . These facilities provide support and counseling with the goal of helping patients through the emotional and mental health issues caused by addiction . Both inpatient and outpatient treatment programs aim to : Reduce the likelihood of relapse . Prepare patients for the outside world once they leave rehabilitation . Finally , during recovery , recovering addicts may enter a supportive facility such as a sober living house or return home . Sober living homes give people recovering from addiction time to adjust to the world before returning to their previous situations . There are also many peer - support groups , such as 12 - step programs , that can provide support and encouragement to those in recovery . The end goal for any treatment plan is to help patients return to a satisfying and productive life while avoiding relapse and a return to addiction .

According to Mosher and Yanagisako , for example , Prohibition was in part a response to the drinking practices of European immigrants , who became the new lower class .

According to Alcohol and Public Policy : Beyond the Shadow of Prohibition , a publication commissioned by NIAAA and prepared by the National Academy of Sciences , the colonists brought with them from Europe a high regard for alcoholic beverages , which were considered an important part of their diet . Drinking was pervasive because alcohol was regarded primarily as a healthy substance with preventive and curative powers , not as an intoxicant . Alcohol was also believed to be conducive The first temperance movement began in the early 1800s in response to dramatic increases in production and consumption of alcoholic beverages , which also coincided with rapid demographic changes . Agitation against ardent spirits and the public disorder they spawned gradually increased during the 1820s . In addition , inspired by the writings of Benjamin Rush , the concept that alcohol was addicting , and that this addiction was capable of corrupting the mind and the body , took hold . The American Society of Temperance , created in 1826 by clergymen , spread the anti - drinking gospel . The second wave of the temperance movement occurred in the late 1800s with the emergence of the Women ' s Christian Temperance Movement , which , unlike the first wave , embraced the concept of prohibition . It was marked both by the recruitment of women into the movement and the mobilization of crusades to close down saloons . The movement set out to remove the destructive substance , and the industries that promoted its use , from the country . The movement held that while some drinkers may escape problems of alcohol use , even moderate drinkers flirted with The culmination of this second wave was the passage of the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act , which took effect in 1920 . While Prohibition was successful in reducing per capita consumption and some problems related to drinking , its social turmoil resulted in its repeal in 1933 . Since the repeal of Prohibition , the dominant view of alcohol problems has been that alcoholism is the principal problem . With its focus on treatment , the rise of the alcoholism movement depoliticized alcohol problems as the object of attention , as the alcoholic was considered a deviant from the predominant styles of life of either abstinence or " normal " drinking . The alcoholism movement is based on the belief that chronic or addictive drinking is limited to a few , highly susceptible individuals suffering from the disease of alcoholism . The disease concept of alcoholism focuses on Nevertheless , the pre - Prohibition view of alcohol as a special commodity has persisted in American society and is an accepted legacy of alcohol control policies . Following Repeal , all States restricted the sale of alcoholic beverages in one way or another in order to prevent or reduce certain alcohol problems . In general , however , alcohol control policies disappeared from the public agenda as both the alcoholism movement and the alcoholic beverage industry embraced the view , " the fault is in the man and not in the bottle . " This view of alcoholism problems has also been the dominant force in contemporary alcohol problem prevention . Until recently the principal prevention strategies focused on education and early treatment . Within this view education is intended to inform society about the disease and to teach people about the early warning signs so that they can initiate treatment as soon as possible . Efforts focus on " high risk " populations and attempt to correct a suspect process or flaw in the individual , such as low self esteem or lack of social skills . The belief is that the success Contemporary alcohol problem prevention began in the 1970s as new information on the nature , magnitude , and incidence of alcohol problems raised public awareness that alcohol can be problematic when used by any drinker , depending upon the situation . There was a renewed emphasis on the diverse consequences of alcohol use - - particularly trauma associated with drinking driving , fires , and violence , as well as long term health consequences . The history of nonmedical drug use , and the development of policies in response to drug use , also extends back to the early settlement of the country . Like alcohol , the classification of certain drugs as legal , or illegal , has changed over time . These changes sometimes had racial and class overtones . According to Mosher and Yanagisako , for example , Prohibition was in part a response to the drinking practices of European immigrants , who became the new lower class . Cocaine and opium were legal during the 19th century , and were favored By the end of the 19th century concern had grown over the indiscriminate use of these drugs , especially the addicting patent medicines . Cocaine , opium , and morphine were common ingredients in various potions sold over the counter . Until 1903 , cocaine was an ingredient of Coca - Cola ( R ) . Heroin , which was isolated in 1868 , was hailed as a nonaddicting treatment for morphine addiction and alcoholism . States began to enact control and prescription laws and , in 1906 , Congress passed the Pure Food and Drug Act . It was The Harrison Act ( 1914 ) imposed a system of taxes on opium and coca products with registration and record - keeping requirements in an effort to control their sale or distribution . However , it did not prohibit the legal supply of certain drugs , especially opiates . Current drug laws are rooted in the 1970 Controlled Substances Act . Under this measure drugs are classified according to their medical use , their potential for abuse , and their likelihood of producing dependence . The Act contains provisions for adding drugs to the schedule , and rescheduling drugs . It also establishes maximum penalties for the criminal manufacture or distribution of scheduled drugs . Increases in per capita alcohol consumption as well as increased use of illegal drugs during the 1960s raised public concern regarding alcohol and other drug problems . Prevention issues gained prominence on the national level with the creation of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism ( NIAAA ) in 1971 and the National Institute on Drug Abuse ( NIDA ) in 1974 . In addition to mandates for research and the management of national programs for treatment , both Institutes included prevention components . To further prevention initiatives at the Federal level , the Anti - Drug Abuse Act of 1986 created the U.S. Office for Substance Abuse Prevention ( OSAP ) , which consolidated alcohol and other drug prevention activities under the Alcohol , Drug Abuse , and Mental Health Administration ( ADAMHA ) . The ADAMHA block grant mandate called for States to set aside 21 percent of the alcohol and drug funds for prevention . In a 1992 reorganization , OSAP was changed to the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention ( CSAP ) , part of the new SAMHSA , retaining The Office of National Drug Control Policy ( ONDCP ) was established by the Anti - Drug Abuse Act of 1988 . Its primary objective was to develop a drug control policy that included roles for the public and private sector to " restore order and security to American neighborhoods , to dismantle drug trafficking organizations , to help people break the habit of drug use , and to prevent those who have never used illegal drugs from starting . " In early 1992 underage alcohol use was included among the drugs to be addressed by ONDCP . While Federal , State , and local governments play a substantial role in promoting prevention agendas , much of the activity takes place at grass roots community levels . In addition to funding from CSAP ' s " Community Partnerships " grant program , groups receive support from private sources , such as The Robert Wood Johnson " Fighting Back " program . While alcohol and other drug problems continue to plague the Nation at intolerably high levels , progress is being made . National surveys document a decline in illicit drug use and a leveling off of alcohol consumption . And indicators of problem levels , such as alcohol - involved traffic crashes , show significant declines .

Specifically , healthcare providers often prescribe Phenergan for nausea and vomiting associated with surgery and certain types of anesthesia . A rectal suppository form is available for people with severe nausea and / or vomiting . In the hospital setting , an IV form of the medication may also be given . Depression Introduction This video clip introduces depression , including what it is , what causes depression , and how it is treated . Watch This and Other Videos Now > Using Phenergan for Nausea ® promethazine hydrochloride ) is a prescription medication commonly used to treat nausea and vomiting , although it is approved for other uses as well . In particular , the drug is approved to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting associated with surgery and certain types of anesthesia . It is also approved to treat and prevent motion sickness . Interestingly , Phenergan is not approved for nausea or vomiting due to other causes or in other situations , although it is frequently given for such uses . How Does Phenergan Relieve Nausea ? Phenergan has several different effects in the body and the brain . Many of the medication ' s effects are most likely due to its antihistamine activity . It works by blocking histamine receptors . Phenergan also belongs to a group of medications known as phenothiazines . Although phenothiazines are usually used as antipsychotic medications , Phenergan has little dopamine - blocking activity . This makes it a weak antipsychotic medication , and it is not used as an antipsychotic . This medicine also blocks acetylcholine receptors , which is probably why Phenergan helps to alleviate nausea and motion sickness . Treating Nausea in Children With Phenergan Medications for vomiting and nausea , like Phenergan , should not be used to treat most cases of vomiting in children and adolescents . In these age groups , only prolonged cases of vomiting with clear , known causes should be treated with this medication . In addition , Phenergan should not be given to children under the age of two , due to the risk of breathing difficulty and death ( see Phenergan and Children Phenergan for Nausea Article Continues on Next Page > 1 2 Next > > Referring Pages : Articles Terms of Use Advertise with Us Contact Us About eMedTV Privacy Policy Copyright © 2006 - 2019 Clinaero , Inc . eMedTV serves only as an informational resource .

http://drugsdetails.com/how-long-does-hydrocodone-stay-in-your-system-urine-blood-hair-saliva-drug-test/ | Home Common Health Questions How long does Hydrocodone stay in your system , Urine , Blood , Hair , Saliva , Drug Test How long does Hydrocodone stay in your system , Urine , Blood , Hair , Saliva , Drug Test Last reviewed by Editorial Team on September 4th , 2018 . What is Hydrocodone ? What is Hydrocodone used for ? Hydrocodone is a Generic name for an opioid pain reliever medicine . Chemically hydrocodone is also known as dihydrocodeinone . It is semi - synthetic opioid medicine that is synthesized from codeine . Hysingla ER and Zohydro ER are hydrocodone ’ s extended - release forms that are used for around - the - clock treatment for moderate to severe pain treatment . Extended - release form of hydrocodone is not for use on an as - needed basis for pain . Hydrocodone is also commonly used in liquid form as an antitussive / cough suppressant . How does Hydrocodone works ? Hydrocodone works as an opioid agonist of opioid receptors in the brain . This drug blocks pain perception in the cerebral cortex of the brain . Hydrocodone reduces synaptic chemical transmission in the brain , which then inhibits pain sensation into the higher centers of the brain . Agonist actions at the μ and k receptors cause analgesia , decreased body temperature and miosis . Agonist activity at the μ receptor may also cause the opiate withdrawal suppression , while antagonist activity can result in precipitation of withdrawal . Hydrocodone acts at several areas within the brain by involving several neurotransmitter systems to produce pain relieving , but the precise mechanism has not been fully yet understood . Hydrocodone can also produce inhibition at the chemoreceptors through μ - opioid receptors and in the medulla through μ and δ receptors which can lead to dose - related respiratory depression . Hydrocodone side effects Common hydrocodone ’ s side effects that usually do not require medical attention include : dizziness drowsiness itching nausea vomiting Side effects that patients have to report to their doctor or health care professional as soon as possible as it can be very serious include : breathing difficulties , wheezing allergic reactions like skin rash , itching or hives , swelling of the face , lips , or tongue confusion light headedness or fainting spells How long does Hydrocodone stay in your system ? Studies have been shown that the elimination half - life time of hydrocodone is an average 3.8 hours . This means that , it will take under 4 hours for your body to excrete 50 % of the administrated hydrocodone dose . This means that the body will fully excrete hydrocodone from its system for 20.9 hours . However , other findings suggest that there could be more difference in drugs half - life time ranging it from 3.3 hours to 4.1 hours . This indicates that some patients may be able to eliminate the drug much quicker for 18.15 hours , while others may have prolonged systemic clearance time with 22.55 hours ) . In most patients hydrocodone should be cleared from the body within 1 day , however , it may not clear hydrocodone ’ s active metabolite named norhydrocodone for up to 2 days . There are many factors that may have influence on how long will hydrocodone and its active metabolites stay in your system . Those factors can be internal or individual such as : age , genetics , body mass , liver and kidney function etc . Also external factors such as : frequency of hydrocodone use and other medicines taken at the same time can also have the influence . How long does Hydrocodone stay in your urine ? In normal situations , Hydrocodone itself should be detectable in urine after 24 hours of last dose administration , but its active metabolite norhydrocodone can stay in urine up to 2 - 3 days . How long does Hydrocodone stay in your blood ? In normal situations , Hydrocodone should be detectable in blood for one day after last dose administration . How long does Hydrocodone stay in your hair ? Hydrocodone can be detectable in hair up to 90 days . How long does Hydrocodone stay in your saliva ? In saliva , hydrocodone can be detectable for up to 1 day after administration , while norhydrocodone could remain detectable for up to 2 days . How long does Hydrocodone stay in your system if you snort it ? If hydrocodone is snorted , it will pass in your system more quickly than after ingestion . There is no time to lose on absorption of the drug . The effects are almost immediate . Depending on how much of hydrocodone is taken , it will approximately stay in the body for 12 - 24 hours after administration . How the age affects Hydrocodone elimination ? The elderly ( aged 65 + ) compared to younger individuals often metabolize and eliminate drugs by much slower rates . Their organs such as liver or kidneys may have lower function and / or their internal blood flow is reduced to the liver . Further , elderly are often on many other medications and some of them could delay hydrocodone metabolism or excretion . How body height / weight / fat affect Hydrocodone elimination ? Patient ’ s height , weight , and fat amount when can have impact on how quickly body eliminate the drug from the system . In theory , taller and heavier patients should clear a 5 mg of hydrocodone quicker compared to shorter and lightweight individuals . This is because of the fact that the smaller the dose of the drug is taken proportionate to your height / weight the quicker the elimination , vice - versa also applies . How genetics affects Hydrocodone elimination ? Different genes are known to have the influence on drug metabolism , including hydrocodone . Genes that regulate CYP450 liver enzymes such as CYP2D6 may have strong influence whether some patient metabolizes hydrocodone in a quicker or slower rate than average . Based on genetics , certain patients are classified as “ rapid metabolizers , ” while others are “ poor metabolizers . ” This may result in different drug effects , but also variability in clearance rates . How food affects Hydrocodone elimination ? Food like carbohydrates may slow hydrocodone absorption if they are taken together . However , taking hydrocodone on empty stomach may increase absorption this drug . Absorption time differences could influence rate of drug clearance from the body . Those who ingest a high - carbohydrate meal along with hydrocodone , clearance may be delayed . How liver or kidney function affects Hydrocodone elimination ? Since hydrocodone is metabolized in the liver , liver issues and impaired liver function may extend half - life time and prolong hydrocodone elimination . For example , someone with cirrhosis or hepatitis may take hours longer to metabolize and eliminate hydrocodone from their system compared to healthy individuals . In addition , kidney impairment may also delay drug clearance . How urinary pH affects Hydrocodone elimination ? Patients with more acidic urine may clear hydrocodone and it metabolites more efficiently than those with highly alkaline urine . Alkalinity of urine is known to promote drug reabsorption prior to their elimination , and thus slowing the clearance . How frequency of Hydrocodone use affects its elimination ? Single dose users ( patients that use hydrocodone only once ) are more likely to clear the drug faster from the body than those who regularly used the drug for a long period of time . This is likely to be caused because of the fact that when hydrocodone is used frequently for several days , hydrocodone and its metabolites will accumulate in the body until the “ peak ” is reached . Once the “ peak ” is reached the clearance time will be prolonged . Single - dose , infrequent , users will less likely accumulate hydrocodone compared to frequent users . Such patients should be able to excrete the drug efficiently from the body in under 2 days . However , long - term users who are on chronic hydrocodone therapy could take longer than 2 days to fully eliminate hydrocodone . How other drugs affect Hydrocodone elimination ? Since hydrocodone is metabolized by cytochrome 450 isoenzyme CYP2D6 , all drugs that affect CYP2D6 may reduce or prolong hydrocodone ’ s half - life time . Drugs classified as CYP2D6 inhibitors are known to impair body ’ s ability to eliminate hydrocodone from the body . CYP2D6 inhibitors are : SSRI drugs ( such as paroxetine , citalopram , fluoxetine etc . ) , Codeine , Methadone , Amiodarone , Serindole , Yohimbine and more . Certain inhibitors of CYP2D6 may slow metabolism to a greater level than others and that dosing often plays a role . There are also drugs known as CYP2D6 “ inducers ” such as Dexamethasone and Rifampin which may enhance metabolism of hydrocodone . These drugs enhances metabolism of hydrocodone , thus resulting in quicker clearance from the system . Can I take toradol and hydrocodone together ? What happens if you take too much Zzzquil ?

http://drugtestinginsider.com/campaign-to-discredit-synthetic-urines-like-quick-fix/ | Campaign to Discredit Synthetic Urines Like Quick Fix 06 . April 2012 4 comments · Categories : News I ’ m sorry to say a small group of companies that sell detoxification products are just as shameful and money oriented as the urine testing industry . I visit various online testing forums to help people with passing urine test , but over the last year a few detoxification companies have been spreading lies that synthetic urine no longer works to discredit synthetic urine and attempt to sell their products . On various forums you ’ ll see new user accounts created that start threads and post these types of comments , Many labs now check the urine under a microscope due to the synthetics becoming more popular . Unfortunately synthetic urine does n ’ t look like real urine under a microscope . If your lab does this they ’ ll know you subbed immediately . Quick Fix synthetic urine failed at my urine test , so I used * REMOVED PRODUCT NAME * and passed . When urine goes to GC / MS it can not pass if it is n ’ t real urine because the pH , creatinine levels , acidity , and other markers of human urine are simply either not there , or not in proportion with what falls into alignment for human urine . QuickFix and other synthetics like it . All they have to do is a quick secondary screen and BAM , inconclusive “ this ai n ’ t human wee wee ” results pop up left and right due to insufficient levels of creatinine , or wacky pH , or weirdo acidity that raises red flags I could post hundred of these comments , but you get the point that various people are attempting to spread myths that synthetic urine does n ’ t work . The individuals posting these comments are paid to do this or are employees of the detoxification companies spreading these lies . Whenever pressed for information these stories always fall apart since most of these post can not back up their claims with any evidence . I have yet to see ONE scanned report of the bullshit synthetic failures . As a matter of fact , on a certain other forum that is named for weed where paid advertisers are allowed to be moderators of the urine testing forum , they have several times set up sock puppet accounts and try and spread fear and lies about synthetic urine because it affects their bottom line . They usually try and claim their samples were rejected by McGruff the piss sniffing poorly paid lab collector who has a calibrated and tested sense of smell that allows them Most people expect when they go to a urine testing forum they would get some honest impartial help and not be told to purchase over priced products that claim the impossible . But some forums sponsors have purchased the ability to influences urine testing information people read . One forum for example allows the sponsors to moderate the urine testing section . Those moderators then create fake discussions , delete whole threads , edit comments , and ban users to control the information that is available . Why are these companies people spreading these lies ? Money is the motive . Synthetic urine cost anywhere from $ 25 – $ 35 , while some urine detoxification companies sell products that range from $ 100 – $ 200 . The goal is to confuse people and persuade them to buy the more expensive product . Here are the facts ; I recently took a bottle of quick fix urine down to the lab to be tested . The lab geeks ran it through a GC / MS and it came back clean of any drug metabolites . I then asked them to do some specimen validity testing ( SVT ) which uses other equipment and test strips to check the creatinine , pH , specific gravity , and a number of other components of urine to make sure it was real urine . Creatinine levels were checked using colorimetry ( the typical validity dipstick / cup / cassette ) while Refractometry was used for checking the specific gravity . In the end , our lab technicians could not tell the difference between real urine and quick fix synthetic urine . I will end this post with this final comment . If the urine testing industry could detect synthetic urine , we would advertise it to our customers and brag about it on their company websites . This would cause whole synthetic urine industry to be put out of business overnight ! Why are n ’ t we advertising this ? because we ca n ’ t detect synthetic urine , if we advertised we could and it was discovered we lied that would be fraud . 4 Comments webdox July 20 , 2012 at 3 : 51 am A few of these companies are finding out right now that you CAN and WILL be sued for libel if you purposely spread lies and misinformation on the Internet with the sole purpose of a defaming a competitors product with so substantive proof . I hope those fools like Potbear have deep pockets . Stupid ass lying shills … Reply NervousNelly June 2 , 2014 at 3 : 20 pm I agree with this post 100 % . The same capitalism rules of why one has to drug test are the same rules that companies like Spectrum Labs must follow . Spectrum Labs or any other similar company are in the business of making a product that works so that they can make money . What I mean by this is that the drug testing business is a direct result of the Lab business sector / Government setting up rules and financial rewards ( cheaper insurance rates ) for implementing drug tests . Drug testing businesses make millions of dollars drug testing every year off of good marketing and financial incentives that employers receive for implementing drug tests . At the same time , the Government wants to say they ’ re doing something to protect the public which is why we have so many rules on who ’ s drug tested , etc . In return , this has created a whole business of beating the system . How long would these businesses stay in business if their products did n ’ t work ? Answer : not long , especially in today ’ s mass communication world . Furthermore , if Labs were able to detect synthetic urine , they would be promoting it to no ends . I do n ’ t see this . Labs can post all the signs they want cautioning people that they will be caught and rely on this method to scare people .

http://drywallpriceguide.com/drywall-repair-prices-and-costs/ | Drywall Repair Cost & Prices It ’ s not unusual that at some point you ’ ll need either ceiling repair or wall repair , where there are holes or cracks within the drywall . Drywall repair cost will be largely based upon and affected by the person doing the job , since labour is so expensive . An average small job , around 6 hours worth of labour , will cost between $ 150 – $ 380 for a drywall repair project . Jump to our repair costs table below for a full breakdown : A Cost Comparison of Drywall Repair Costs Element of Project Drywall Repair Cost ( Handyman ) Drywall Repair Cost ( Contractor ) Drywall Sheet $ 6.00 – $ 12.00 $ 6.00 – $ 12.00 Ancillaries ( Tape & Compound $ 15.00 – $ 20.00 $ 15.00 – $ 20.00 Labour ( 6 Hours Average ) $ 25 – $ 50 ( Base ) + $ 40 – $ 100 ( Per Repair ) $ 40 – $ 100 ( Base ) + $ 75 – $ 200 ( Per Repair ) Tools ( Usually Have Own ) $ 15.00 – $ 50.00 $ 15.00 – $ 50.00 Total Repair Cost ( Small Job ) $ 150 – $ 200 $ 185 – $ 380 In his drywall repair guide we cover the following drywall repair topics : Options for drywall repair Drywall repair costs User Submitted Drywall repair costs Drywall Repair Options Common reasons for drywall repair are : Damage caused by a doorknob , rambunctious child ’ s toy or swift kick Water damage from a leaking roof or plumbing which consequently damages the drywall ceiling Home improvements such as adding an electrical outlet or removing old cable or wiring The good news is that drywall ceilings and walls are usually fairly easy to repair , and when the job is done properly and painted with skill , the damage will disappear . Understanding how to repair a hole or crack within your drywall is very useful , but you what are your options ? Your two options are to make a localized repair of the damage or to replace the entire sheet of drywall . Each has its pros and cons : Local repair : This is the standard technique for damage to a small to medium - sized area . There ’ s less mess with a local repair . Small holes require only spackling , no additional drywall . If drywall is needed , a piece of scrap material might be large enough for the purpose , saving you some money . The caution regarding local repair is that any large piece must be fastened to a stud or other suitable bracket for stability , and inserting and securing the mounting material can be difficult . Full - sheet repair : This is the simplest ways to repair large holes in drywall . The sheet is removed from the studs and a new piece of drywall is screwed in place . The joints are taped , mudded and sanded , resulting in a clean repair that might blend better with the rest of the wall than a small patch . The main disadvantage to this method is the need for precise cutting out of the old sheet , which is time - consuming and difficult , so sheets next to it are n ’ t damaged . Also , replacing a full sheet is a larger mudding , taping and sanding project . Drywall Repair Costs Drywall repair costs are determined differently than drywall installation costs for two reasons . First , most drywall contractors and handymen charge a minimum fee for any job . Secondly , repair is more labor - intensive and time - consuming relative to the amount of drywall installed . A handyman will charge less than a drywall contractor , and as long as the handyman has experience , the job quality can be just as good . We always recommend getting a quote from a contractor where possible . Let ’ s break down the costs for drywall repair by material and labor : Drywall Repair Materials Cost Sheet of drywall : $ 6 to $ 12 , depending on type . Acoustical drywall panels cost more . Small container of joint compound and a roll of tape : $ 15 to $ 20 . Tools : Most will have their own tools , but if purchased , the cost will be $ 15 to $ 50 based on the quality of the tools . Total materials cost for drywall repair : $ 40 to $ 80 Drywall Repair Labor Cost Handyman : $ 25 to $ 50 minimum plus $ 40 to $ 100 per repair . Contractor : $ 40 to $ 100 minimum plus $ 75 to $ 200 per repair . This makes the grand total for drywall repair costs to be approximately $ 115 to $ 380 based on who does the repair , the cost of materials and tools and how long the work takes . Most small repairs in which a patch of drywall is used require 3 to 6 hours of labor . This is because multiple layers of joint compound need to be applied . Using fast - drying compound can be used in some cases , so that the repair is made in one day .

http://dsjliturgy.blogspot.com/2005/03/easter-and-pentecost-sequences.html | Work of the People Thursday , March 24 , 2005 The Easter and Pentecost Sequences This article by Diana Macalintal first appeared in Eucharistic Ministries 240 , March 2004 . “ The Sequence , which is optional except on Easter Sunday and on Pentecost Day , is sung before the Alleluia ” ( General Instruction of the Roman Missal , 64 ) . At the beginning and end of the great Easter season , the faithful proclaim : “ Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous : The Prince of life , who died , reigns immortal ” ( Easter Sequence ) ; “ Bend the stubborn heart and will ; Melt the frozen , warm the chill ; Guide the steps that go astray ” ( Pentecost Sequence ) . Yet since 1970 , when the GIRM first required that these sequences be sung every year , these poetic texts have seldom been heard in parishes . At one point in the church ’ s history , there were about five thousand sequences . Today , the church has retained four : those for the solemnities of Easter , Pentecost , the Body and Blood of the Lord , and the Stabat Mater for September 15 , the memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows . As early as the 8th century , sequences appeared in the liturgical celebrations of France and soon spread throughout Europe . Prior to Vatican II , the liturgy of the word consisted of a reading from the epistles , a psalm called the “ gradual ” and a reading from the Gospels . The gradual ended with an “ alleluia ” in which the final syllable “ ah ” was sung over a very long series of notes , a technique called a melisma . This melisma was called sequencia or jubilus . The sequence developed as alternative texts replacing this “ ah . ” Later , other melodies and religious poems were composed to be separate pieces sung at any liturgical feast . The structure of these poems often lent itself to “ antiphonal ” singing ( verses alternating between two choirs or between a soloist and choir ) . The texts were also often dramatic . The birth of miracle plays is usually attributed to the inspiration of the Easter Sequence , Victimae paschali laudes , in which Mary Magdalene is asked “ Speak , Mary , declaring what you saw , wayfaring . ” Her reply makes up the next three verses and the drama of the greatest miracle . Today , the sequence is sung after the second reading , before the Alleluia . The texts for the four remaining sequences are found in the Lectionary while several melodies have been composed through the centuries for these texts . One particularly useful setting of the Easter and Pentecost sequences uses the tune O FILII ET FILIAE ( “ Ye sons and daughters ” ) . This familiar tune allows not only the assembly to sing alternating verses with a cantor or choir , but also provides a smooth transition into the Gospel acclamation after the final verse during which the whole assembly stands for the procession of the Gospel book .

http://dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/3428/time-in-sine-wave-equation | time in Sine Wave equation Ask Question 1 1 According to Wikipedia , The sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical function that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation . The formula for the Sine wave is , A = Amplitude of the Wave ω = the angular frequency , specifies how many oscillations occur in a unit time interval , in radians per second φ , the phase , t = ? Here ω , is the angular frequency i.e , It defines how many cycles of the oscillations are there . Now let see the frequency , Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time For example , if 100 events occur within 15 seconds the frequency is : Events = 100 ; Time = 15 ; FREQ = Events / Time ; Which means there is total 100 cycles of wave in 15 seconds , am i correct ? Events = 71 ; Time = 15 ; FREQ = Events / Time ; W = 2 * PI * FREQ ; % 2 * PI for circular path A = 2 ; Now what is the use of small ' t ' ? in the Sine wave equation , what time is it ? frequency wave share improve this question asked Sep 24 ' 12 at 20 : 03 Sufiyan Ghori 970 8 24 46 add a comment 1 Answer active oldest votes 3 In the context that you described , t is a variable indicating time . That is , the wave will take on a value of y t at the time instant . If this is measured in seconds , then ω specifies the number of radians that the wave passes through in one second . And , as you noted , if the wave has a frequency of 100 15 Hz , then it will pass through 100 periods in 15 seconds . share improve this answer answered Sep 24 ' 12 at 20 : 15 Jason R 21.5k 2 53 64 add a comment Your Answer Post Your Answer By clicking “ Post Your Answer ” , you agree to our terms of service privacy policy and cookie policy Not the answer you ' re looking for ?

http://dssresources.com/faq/index.php?action=artikel&id=227 | Ask Dan about DSS from DSSResourcescom What is the impact of social media on decision making by Dan Power Editor DSSResourcescom Information technology is changing how we communicate obtain and process information for personal and work decisions Social media is the term most often used for the new IT applications that create dynamic interactive information exchanges cf Power 2011 There remain disagreements about the scope and hence the meaning of the term social media but lets explore in general the impact of more and better usergenerated content of all types on personal group and managerial decisionmaking Also if some social media applications do impact decision making is the impact positive or negative Social media is increasing its penetration in our lives So far the evidence suggests that in some situations the impact on individual and organizational decision making is extensive For example some commentators believe social media has been integral to the Arab revolutions and revolts of 2011cf Kirkpatrick 2011 In the US political recall elections have been facilitated by social media Akron lawyer Warner Mendenhall who led a recall collected more than double the 3200 signatures needed to put the recall on the ballot using blogs and robocalls to spread information El Nasser 2011 quotes Mendenhall Even five years ago we Speculation about blogging and social medias impact on decision making is not of recent origin In Enders Game by Orson Scott Card 1985 a major subplot involves Enders sister and brother Valentine and Peter Wiggin They are also child prodigies like Ender and using the aliases of Locke and Demosthenes they blog on the net about politics especially diplomacy and allout war with Russia Peters end goal is to create a global emergency so that he can seize power Their writings find audiences at the highest levels of government Each sibling gradually gains a following Responding to each others writings The Society for New Communications Research httpsncrorg has sponsored a number of studies related to the impact of social media For example Bulmer and DiMauro in a study report titled The New Symbiosis of Professional Networks Social Medias Impact on Business and DecisionMaking state in the preface The convergence of the Internet Web 20 and mobile technologies has created a disruptive shift in business The era of BusinesstoPerson B2P communications driven by all things social social media social networks and social influence has emerged as a new model for engagement and Social Media Peer Groups SMPG have evolved to take Bulmer and DiMauros survey of 356 professionals including primarily CEOs and directors had 12 Key Findings On Social Medias Impact on Business and DecisionMaking by CEOs and Managers 1 Professionals tend to belong to multiple social networks for business purposes 2 The Big Three social networks LinkedIn Facebook and Twitter have emerged as professional networks 3 Mobile is emerging as a frequent professional networking access point 4 Traditional decisionmaking processes are being disrupted by social media 5 Professional networks are an increasingly essential decisionsupport tool 6 High levels of trust exist in information obtained from online networks 7 Changes are taking place in organizations internal and external use of social media 8 There is a recognized need for peer input in decisionmaking 9 Connecting and collaborating are key drivers for professionals use of social media 10 Final decision makers are more likely to indicate that they conduct research via a search engine 82 percent vs 70 percent of Decision Supporters 11 Those professionals with more networks are more likely to gather opinions through their online network read blogs and query the Twitter channel as early steps in the decision process 12 Younger respondents are more likely to read a company blog and to query the Twitter channel vs older demographics Bulmer and DiMauros 2010 survey is a starting point for exploring the impact of social media on decision making More recently they released results from a survey of 105 participants in 97 organizations in 20 countries that concludes social network participation increasingly affects executive decision making at companies They report A majority 80 of respondents are able to accelerate decision process and informationstrategy development by participating in online communities Endorsement eg like read share retweet is at the center of collaboration in social media communities The Crescendo Effect in social media environments has great impact on buying decisions According to Peter Auditore 2011 Head of SAPs Business Influencer Program The crescendo effect is simply how many Tweets Facebook LinkedIn mentions and other digital means of notification a blog may get This is paramount because the new flow of influence which has metamorphosed into a new form of advertising and word of mouth marketing acts like a crescendo through the ecosystem of whoever liked your blog enough to recognize it Make sense It is not the number of views that the blog gets but the ecosystem of the viewers how they collaborate and how the influence flows from it So what is the impact of social media tools like blogging cooperative publishing wikia video and photo sharing YouTube discussions phpbb skype social networks facebook LinkedIn microblogs twitter lifestreaming friendfeed video livecasts justintv virtual worlds Second Life HABBO social games pogo doof and massively multiplayer online games World of Warcraft Happy Farm on personal and managerial decision making Today we assume the social networks blogs and microblogs are having the greatest impact Some initial hypotheses 1 Business decision support tools developed to use social media data will help managers better understand trends and customer opinions 2 Social media tools can act as communicationsdriven decision support system DSS for organizations and social affinity groups 3 Informal and formal groups using social media may tend to make decisions as gangs or mobs and behave without reflection or rational thought and planning 4 Consumers will and do solicit information for decision making using social media and the information received will be considered reliable 5 Managers can and will use social media for predictions and to influence consumer behavior and product decisions 6 People referred from social media are more likely to purchase and more satisfied with online purchases from Reed 2011 7 Traditional decisionmaking processes are being disrupted by social media Bulmer and DiMauro 2010 8 High levels of trust exist in information obtained from online networks Bulmer and DiMauro 2010 9 Social media changes decision making by challenging our notion of who is an authoritative source Garland 2009 So is there an impact on decision making Easy to use tools like Facebook and YouTube have increased first and norder connectedness exponentially Some changes from these technologies are likely to increase the rationality and effectiveness of decision
