Medicinal Applications of Honey and Your Health
July 31, 2009
Honey is the perfect food, as it contains large amounts of vitamins, minerals, and is particularly rich in vitamins B and C. Additionally, it contains almost all vitamins of the B-complex, which are essential in the system for the digestion and metabolism of sugar. Honey is rich in minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and silicon, just to name a few. This is especially true for the darker varieties of honey like buckwheat. Although the amount of vitamin C varies considerably depending on the source of nectar, some kinds of honey may contain as much as 300 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams of honey.
Honey has been used for centuries to supply energy and rejuvenate the body. Athletes all over the world use honey in order to increase their reserve of immediate energy. Due to its balanced sugar formula, honey requires no intermediate steps for proper digestion, making a rapidly supplied source of energy. A spoonful of honey is said to pass into the bloodstream and able to produce quick energy in ten minutes. If honey is taken with a calcium supplement, the glucose provided by honey can increase the body’s uptake of calcium by almost twenty-five percent. Even though many people see honey as just another form of sugar, it has a lot of advantages over refined, white, table sugar.
One universal application of honey is its ability to promote the rapid healing of wounds. Honey is perfect for any kind of injury that involved breaking the skin, as it protects against infection and boosts the healing process. A good amount of clinical studies have found the wound healing abilities of unprocessed, with tests confirming that honey can exert a protective effect against all kinds of abscesses including gastric lesions and ulcers.
Increasing amounts of research is confirming what ancients already knew about honey: that it has an impressive, natural antibiotic and antiseptic property. Research in Nigeria found that honey does exert an antibacterial effect on certain pathogens that cause cases of diarrhea. The ability of honey to stop proliferation of infection has made it a traditional treatment for wounds. Today, honey’s antibiotic action is in the process of re-discovery in the scientific community.
Recent trials have found that honey exhibits a significant inhibitory effect on the helicobacter pylori bacteria that is thought to be one of the single most common causes of gastric ulcers. These tests determined that honey was better at stopping the action of H. pylori than several other antimicrobial agents.
Another important use of honey is to treat a whole variety of respiratory ailments. Because honey has bactericidal, anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties, the body is insured an immuno-biological defense and as the capacity to regenerate cells that are attacked. Results of one study found that honey facilitated improvement in cases of chronic bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis. The report on this study concluded that treatment of non-specific disease of the air passages with honey is efficient when the right honey type and method are used. It should be noted that honey should never be used to treat any condition if there is a pre-existing sensitivity to honey. Anyone who is allergy prone should determine whether they are allergic to honey before using it therapeutically.
Honey is available in a wide range of forms including whole raw, pasteurized, and capsule forms for internal use. Look for your local or internet health food store for great name brands like Premier one and Montana big sky to ensure that you receive a quality and pure product to consume on a regular basis.

Could Alzheimer’s Be Connected to Periodontal Disease?
July 31, 2009
As scary as it is to think about, let alone really consider, there may be a possible link between Alzheimer’s and gum disease. As most of us are well aware, Alzheimer’s Disease is a devastating problem which causes a person to forget - everything. They often forget how to do things. They can forget things they have done. They can even forget their family members. The degeneration only continues from there. The disease is hard on the person suffering from it and on everyone who takes care of that person.
We also know that gum disease is a serious enough problem that a number of other diseases are linked to it.It seems as if the list continues to grow more and more. You can probably see why it is imperative to maintain excellent oral health. Your life may very well depend on taking impeccable care of your gums and teeth.
It is now suspected that there may be a link between Alzheimer’s Disease and, specifically, the gum disease known as gingivitis. Particularly, this is a real threat if gingivitis is left untreated and is thus allowed to grow into something more serious, such as periodontitis.
Considering the fact that anywhere from fifty to seventy five percent of the population in the US may have gingivitis, you can see the enormous risk here. The odds are almost too painful to think about.
The problem is that it is so easy for gum disease to go unnoticed - or even ignored. It is thus vital that you pay close attention to your teeth and your gums. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, that is a sign of gingivitis. If you suspect you might have it, you need to catch it early. Taking care of your teeth is easy. So is saving your life through excellent oral hygiene.
Gum disease is a serious problem that you should take serious care about. It is not just a problem of losing one’s teeth. More and more research is showing the connection between gum disease and more serious problems such as heart disease, stroke, lung infections, diabetes, low birth weight and preterm babies.
One problem that is predominate is that most people have no clue they have this disease until things are out of control. Generally, people do not notice until their gums bleed or their teeth become loose. You do not want to be in this category.
Studies have shown that many dentists are not actually very focused on this problem. Consequently, even those who for regular checkups may be at risk.
Take care of this problem now, before it becomes worse. Next, follow the links below in order to find out what you can do from home to defeat gum disease.
Disclaimer: If you have or think you might have gum disease or any other health problem, please visit your doctor or periodontist for advice, diagnosis and treatment.

How Drugs Ruin Lives
July 31, 2009
As someone who has never used drugs, let alone held a cigarette, I have certainly been witness to what drugs can do to a person’s life as well as the lives of those around them who care. The pathway to drug use and abuse can (and often does) start with something as simple as a cigarette. I can remember going to a party at a friend’s house when I was in the seventh grade. Her parents were home and were in the backyard when one of my other friends quietly got all of us to go into the front yard. She then began to hand out cigarettes to everyone- cigarettes that she had stolen from her mother. This was my first encounter with drugs of any kind. Over a decade later, this same person has run the gamut of being addicted to various other kinds of drugs, has been kicked out of her house several times by her parents, and is still doing drugs despite the fact that she now has a two year-old daughter to care for.
While it is sad to see my friend this way, I cannot help but become angry with her- angry at her selfishness to continue engaging in risky behavior that is only hurting herself and the other people who love and care for her so much. There is a saying that you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. The same can be said for those who use drugs or are addicted to drugs. Even if you get them to the front door of a reputable drug and alcohol rehab clinic or center, it is going to ultimately be up to them as to whether or not they open that door towards regaining control of their life. Perhaps the biggest mistake that people make begins with their thinking. They are often in denial that a problem even exists, and as we all know- if a problem ceases to exist then why would you fight to solve it?
The first step in becoming clean and sober is recognizing and accepting the fact that you do have a problem, that it is affecting your life as well as the lives of the people who love and care about you and that if you don’t resolve the problem soon, it could kill you. The best way to not allow drugs to ruin your life or the lives of those around you is to never start to begin with. Just like my friend who handed out the cigarettes all those years ago, we all fight our own private battles- battles which come to the surface and manifest itself in different ways. We need to address these underlying issues that we have so that they don’t turn into a ravenous drug problem that is no longer in our control. What do I mean by this? Drug problems and issues revolving around drug use often stem from stressors in our lives. The man who drinks too much and is an alcoholic may have picked up his first bottle when he was a young boy and saw his parents acting violently towards one another. For another adult female heroine addict, she may have run away from an abusive relationship and as a “quick fix” may have tried heroin to take the edge off of her horrible reality.
It seems that many people use drugs as an escape from some problem or issue that they either don’t want to deal with at all or are having trouble dealing with. This is not the way to solve the problem. Often times, an intervention is needed in order to directly address the issue. If the drug user cares enough (or is coherent enough to care) about his or her family and friends and how they feel, then this may be enough for them to admit themselves to a drug and alcohol rehab center.

Do You Need Reading Glasses While Using Your PC?
July 31, 2009
It is a proven fact that working on the computer is responsible for damages to eyesight, causing severe headaches, and dry eyes. The cumulative effect of all the eye problems caused by computers is called computer vision syndrome (CVS). Many people who work for hours on the computer complain of having to strain their eyes when working, causing blurred vision and headaches once the computer is switched off.
With occurrences of CVS becoming more and more common, owing to the increase in the number of people who work on the computer, it is necessary to protect your eyes against the permanent damages computers can cause. Computer reading glasses are a step towards minimizing this damage by reducing the glare entering your eyes, and also by blocking the harmful ultraviolet rays. Also, these glasses are an added benefit as they improve your vision too. Moreover, the glasses may be used with or without consulting your eye specialist!
• So, what exactly are computer reading glasses - Simply said, computer reading glasses are a set of specially made spectacles, which, if worn when you’re working on the computer, decreases the strain caused to your eyes. They are very commonly available owing to the fact that they can be used without prescription, thereby increasing the possibility of buying fakes. It’s always better to buy computer reading glasses from a recognized eye store, because it’s possible that you’ll be handed a cheap colored specs instead of the real one.
Computer reading glasses aren’t heavy ones that weigh you down, rather, they are light, rimless ones made of stainless steel. If you don’t wear glasses on a normal basis, you can opt for computer reading glasses that offer a minimum power correction range of +.25, which is the lower limit. The slight power helps to reduce the strain on your eyes by bringing down the focal length to a particular level. A different set of low powered glasses are available for those who require reading glasses. The features of these glasses are no different from the regular computer reading glasses. Computer reading glasses are tinted because of the anti-reflective coating that prevents your eyes from the harmful glare of the computer screen.
• Design factors for computer reading glasses - Like regular spectacles, computer reading glasses too, can be chosen from a wide selection of frames and designs. But as far as the basics are concerned, it is recommended that you opt for low weight, rimless and minimum powered glasses. For best results, you can get your computer reading glasses custom made according to your prescribed lens power, glass requirements and working environment. The ideal power range for computer reading glasses vary within the +.25 and +.75 range, as this is in keeping with the focal length that exists between the lens and the computer. Glasses made within this range, function perfectly. It also helps to buy glasses with the tinted coating which offers extra protection for your eyes.
• The anti-glare coating on computer reading glasses - The anti glare coating on computer reading glasses is a special feature, as it resists your eyes from being affected by the “glare” of the computer. Apart from this primary function, it also makes the glasses scratch resistant. The anti glare coating functions by reducing the intensity of the surrounding light; thereby allowing your eyes to concentrate only on the screen before you.
It is advised that you wear computer reading glasses only after a thorough consultation with the eye specialist, and after weighing all the pros and cons. Computer reading glasses are quite pocket friendly, their prices starting from $10. For those of you who want a hint of style to accompany the primary function of protection, you could take your pick from designer computer reading glasses!

Vacationing For Health
July 31, 2009
You hear people claiming all of the time that they “need a vacation,” and while they may be saying it in passing, the truth is that we could all use a healthy break away from the mundane, stressed world of work. For some people, a vacation means spending time alone as a couple away from the kids, while for others it means involving the kids. Still, for other people, taking a vacation is an extended family deal while for others it means going off by themselves away from everyone they know so that they can be alone and meditate or whatever the case may be.
Various studies throughout the years have shown that there are benefits to be had from taking a vacation. First of all, you should make sure that the type of vacation you are planning or want is one that you can afford. You may not be able to afford a trip to Tahiti this time of year, but perhaps you can get in your car and take a weekend trip to the coast or to the mountains. It is almost laughable to think that there are some people who spend months planning out a vacation and then when they go on their vacation, they wind up coming back even more stressed out than when they left. Perhaps it’s a matter of having to spend more money than they had planned, etc.
When you are planning a vacation, figure out in advance (obviously) how much money it is going to cost you. After you have figured out the gross cost of the trip, mentally tack on extra money to that to allow for diversions such as dinner, museums, shows and other tourist attractions. If you can still comfortably afford it, then go for it. However, if you know that it’s going to be a tight pinch, then you’re better off planning something a little less expensive and more in your price range. Remember that the key to enjoying a good vacation is planning.
I’ll never forget the time when my dad planned this fantastic trip to Disney World. We were so excited to go, and we all wound up having a great time. However, towards the end of the trip, we could all sense that my father was beginning to feel a little stressed out about having to spend any more money. Waiting in long lines for roller coaster rides in 90 degree heat with a wife and three kids doesn’t always have the makings of a “good time” when you’re at the end of a long trip!
There is good proof that those who take even mini vacations (I.e. weekend getaways) make for happier employees, which in turn leads to more productive employees. Could you imagine what sort of mental state we would be in if we had to work non stop day in and day out with no break in sight? It would be horrible, no doubt. Mental breaks in the form of vacationing is always a good idea.

Sticking With One Dentist: Why Loyalty Can Translate Into Better Dental Care
July 31, 2009
While every dentist wants patients to remain loyal and give them repeat business, it is often the patient who benefits the most from sticking with the same dentist over a long period of time. But most people don’t realize the important value of keeping the same dentist, and many of us jump around from one to another based on how close we live or work to their office, how much they charge for cleaning our teeth, or other reasons that may not be as important as our overall health. Once you find a good dentist, try to keep that doctor as your personal or family dentist for as long as possible, because the more your dentist gets to know you the more beneficial the relationship becomes.
Until you dentist knows your full dental history and has time to watch how your teeth or gums might develop, he or she is not as well equipped to recommend particular procedures, remedies, and maintenance tips. Some people have thin enamel, for example, and can benefit from a change in their diet or a different type of toothpaste. Others have receding gums. Dentists can measure the extent of the change over time and determine the best plan of action to prevent tooth and gum problems. Having a dentist who knows you and knows exactly what to watch for and observe each time you visit for a checkup means that you will get more personalized care and attention.
Of course even a brand new dentist who has never seen you before can use X-rays, a comprehensive dental exam, and a little bit of probing around and investigating inside your mouth to learn a huge amount of information about your dental health. But switching to a new dentist usually means that the same kind of thorough examination needs to be repeated, whereas a dentist who knows you will have detailed records and a file with your whole dental history. That saves time, money, and stress because you know that your dentist is well informed and aware of any potential problems you might have. He or she will also know if you have any special considerations such as fears about certain procedures, unwanted reactions to medicines, or your schedule. Some people travel frequently for work, for instance, and having a dentist who has been with you for a long time enables him or her to schedule appointments that suit your travel plans.
Keeping the same dentist also allows you the flexibility to plan procedures such as replacements of old fillings, repairs to damaged teeth, or cosmetic procedures like tooth whitening. Instead of taking any appointment whenever the dentist happens to have an opening among his or her regular patients, you can get preferential scheduling and can spread out the timing of dental visits to help you keep dental costs within your annual budget.
The best dentists often get so busy and popular that they no longer accept new patients, which is another big reason to stay with a good dentist. Once you have become a regular patient, in other words, there are a variety of benefits that come from the relationship – and all of them translate into better health care for you.

Causes of Eczema and the Solution
July 31, 2009
If you suffer from eczema, you know how terrible it is. The red swollen skin, along with the intense itching, causes you to scratch so hard you actually start bleeding.
Severe sufferers have such dry, scaly skin, that something we take for granted such as drying off with a towel, can cause them to bleed. It’s difficult for a non-sufferer to know the pain they go through.
It’s bad enough to have to deal with this, but the inflicted person is also more prone to bacterial and viral infections. You’ve got to feel for the unfortunate individual who is now cursed with a whole host of new and difficult problems.
Have you ever experienced loneliness? You know, this can be rather painful. People sometimes feel uneasy around someone with an obvious skin condition. Of course, the victim of the affliction is already embarrassed and the reaction of others adds a dreaded sense of alienation on top of this. This especially has to be difficult for young people who are constantly under intense peer pressure. Certainly, children and teenagers are often cruel to those who don’t fit in.
Now you might be wondering what triggers an outbreak of Eczema.
Unfortunately, some people have a genetic inherited tendency to develop it. Incredibly, a normally harmless substance in their immediate environment often triggers an outbreak in people born with this tendency.
I’m sure you can see the problem. Identifying triggers and controlling the symptoms is quite difficult. Can you imagine how drawn out the procedures for finding the individual triggers are?
What are some of the substances that can cause an attack?
Here they are.
• Stress – You know the trouble stress causes. It definitely puts your body out of harmony. It’s no surprise that it causes a severe outbreak.
• Alcohol and coffee. How demoralizing it must be giving up these favorite beverages.
• Foods such as milk, peanuts, shell fish, wheat, nuts, rice, food additives and some fruits. Gee, more things you have to give up.
• Environmental and seasonal changes. I doubt if the season will accommodate you by refusing to change.
• Dust mite, animal dandruff and pollens.
Well, I have some good news.
Fortunately, for sufferers of eczema, such as you or a loved one, opportunity knocks. Yes, you can cure it for good.
I’m sure you might be skeptical because you’ve already tried what the doctors have told you. You followed instructions and put on creams. Plus, you’ve taken the pills as prescribed. Your symptoms temporarily go away, but the disease never does.
Susan Clark suffered from it for her entire life—until she found a cure. Now, her ultimate goal is to empower you.
Let me ask you this. How would you like to put the embarrassment away forever? Go ahead and imagine this. You no longer suffer from the itching and you now have beautiful, smooth skin.
This is what the “Beat Eczema” guide can do for any sufferer of eczema.
Step by step, it shows you how to get rid of it for good.

Nuviderm At Home Tattoo Removal - What You Need To Know
July 31, 2009
At home tattoo removal is a relatively new option and Nuviderm is leading the way with quality products, unsurpassed live consultation and an iron clad money back 6 month guarantee.
Tattoo removal is a lengthy process, don’t believe anyone who says otherwise. How could something meant to be permanent be easily removed? Even state of the art Lasers require several expensive and painful sessions with no guarantee of satisfaction which is why Laser clinics offer no money back guarantees.
Tattoo removal creams, on the other hand, offer a simple, pain free form of tattoo removal except for one thing - tattoo removal creams don’t work. They contain nothing more than a variety of skin pigment lightening products that may actually lighten the top layer of skin covering the tattoo by removing or inhibiting the production of melanin, the chemical in the skin that determines a persons skin color, but they don’t lighten or remove tattoo ink.
Skin lightening chemicals most commonly found in tattoo removal creams include hydroquinone, a suspected carcinogen banned in many Asian and European countries, alpha arbutin, kojic acid and bearberry extract. There is absolutely no medical evidence that any of these skin tone lightening chemicals have any effect whatsoever on tattoo ink. The best proof that they don’t work is the fact that not one tattoo removal cream manufacturer offers any kind of money back guarantee except for one, and they only accept returns within 30 days that have not been opened, require a Return Authorization number that can never be acquired and require that the returned package be insured by the sender. Fail to meet any of these stringent requirements and they keep your money. For all intents and purposes their so called “guarantee” is just a marketing ploy to try and reassure potential buyers of a risk free purchase when in reality no money will ever be returned.
The truth is, removing a tattoo is a lengthy process that requires patience, care and determination.The main difference in tattoo removal methods that actually work is the cost. One $39.95 ounce of Nuviderm contains the tattoo removal power of about $750.00 worth of Laser treatments and requires about the same amount of time. Put another way, Laser removal costs about 20 times what Nuviderm costs for an equivalent size tattoo. Nuviderm, if applied as directed, will also be much less painful than the laser procedure.
One weakness of laser removal of tattoos is the color of ink used in the tattoo. Laser destruction of tattoo pigment is limited by the wavelength of the laser in use. Many bright colors of tattoo ink such as white, yellow, pink, light blue and light green are simply not easily treatable by laser.
In fact, using Nuviderm will aid the process of laser removal, if used first, because it will fade the tattoo making the job of the Laser much easier and less painful - less tattoo pigment means fewer Laser treatments and less pain because the faded tattoo pigment results in a less harsh effect on the skin by the Laser beam. Or, you could just finish the job with Nuviderm and not even to go near a Laser clinic saving you the time, hassle and the expense of driving to and from a probably inconvenient Laser clinic location.
