Electromagnetic Protection devices in everyday life By : Jean08 Gallick08 The Facts about Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Many people have heard of the acronym EMF, but do you know what it stands for and what it does? EMF means electromagnetic field and this is a frequency that can be emitted by computer monitors, cell phones, microwaves and even in visible light. The frequency can change depending on the type of item and some oscillate at higher, more dangerous frequencies than others. They can be dangerous as some people are electrically sensitive. This is where electromagnetic protection comes into play and can be used by anyone who wished to avoid the effects of any EMF. Information about Brachial Plexus By : Richard james The goal of treatment is to enable the patient to return to sport or activity as soon as possible while not worsening the injury, which could lead to permanent damage. Return to activity will be determined by how quickly the nerves recover. A patient should be able to have full range of motion in the neck, including being able to turn the head fully to look over both shoulders, and extend the head backward, forward and side to side as far as possible. How to Cure Tobacco By : Richard james Tobacco is from the Nicotiania genus and is native to the American continent. The dried leaves were smoked by Native Americans before the arrival of the Europeans. Tobacco quickly became popular with Europeans and was one of the crops that drove the colonization of North America. Tobacco may be smoked, chewed, dipped or snuffed, but all of these methods require the leaves to be cured. Home Remedies for Kennel Cough By : Richard james Kennel cough is an illness that infects mostly canines and sometimes cats also. The condition is very similar to that of the common cold in human beings and the best treatment for this condition is to let it run its course. The problem, however, is that the symptoms of kennel cough are extremely painful and can test the patience of many dog owners. The dry, honking cough can keep you and your dog awake through nights for more than 15 to 20 days at times. Home Remedies for Acid Reflux By : Richard james Acid Reflux, also known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), is a condition which has many symptoms that are similar to heartburn. In many cases, people suffering from Acid Reflux typically suffer from persistent heartburn two or more days per week. In the long term, this can be very serious since, over time, the reflux of stomach acid can erode or wear away the delicate esophagus lining. Information on Keratitis By : Richard james Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea—the domed, transparent circular portion of the front of the eyeball that lies over the pupil. There are several types, including superficial punctate keratitis, in which the cells on the surface of the cornea die; interstitial keratitis, a condition present at birth; herpes simplex viral keratitis, caused by the sexually transmitted herpes virus; and traumatic keratitis, which results when a corneal injury leaves scar tissue. Keratitis – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment By : Richard james A term used to define a wide variety of corneal infections, irritations, and inflammations; since each type of condition is unique, medical diagnosis and treatment is essential. Corneal ulcers are commonly caused by bacterial or fungal invasions. Information on Kernicterus - By : Richard james Kernicterus is damage to the brain centers of infants caused by increased levels of unconjugated-indirect bilirubin which is free (not bound to albumin). This may be due to several underlying pathologic processes. Newborn babies are often polycythemic, meaning they have too many red blood cells. Keratosis Pilaris – Symptoms, Causes and Treatment By : Richard james Keratosis pilaris is a very common benign skin condition appearing as small, whitish bumps on the upper arms and thighs, especially of children and young adults. Individual lesions of keratosis pilaris arise when a hair follicle becomes plugged with keratin, a protein found in skin, hair, and nails. Keratosis pilaris is most obvious during the teenage years. Ways to Flush Out Canker Sores By : Richard james Dilute one part hydrogen peroxide with one part water. Use a Q-tip to dab mixture on the canker sore. Next, dab a little milk of magnesia with a Q-tip onto the sore. Repeat two or three times a day. Tips to get rid of Dandruff By : Richard james Dandruff is a mysterious ailment. Mysterious, because there is no commonly agreed upon theory about what actually causes this condition. Sure, you will read different things about its cause. It is estimated that as much as 97% of the population of the United States will at some point in their lives have a form of dandruff, but there is still a lack of total agreement about this condition. Safe and Natural Cures for Nausea By : Richard james Nausea is not an illness itself; it is rather a possible case of several conditions, many of which are not related to the stomach at all. In fact, more often than not nausea indicates a condition somewhere else in the body rather than in the stomach itself. An example of this is travel sickness, which is due to confusion between perceived movement and actual movement. Information on Keratosis Pilaris - By : Richard james Keratosis pilaris (KP, also follicular keratosis) is a very common genetic follicular condition that is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin and hence colloquially referred to as "chicken skin" as well as "meat bumps". It most often appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms (though the lower arms can also be affected), and can also occur on the thighs and tops of legs. How to Treat Scabies By : Richard james The word scabies comes from Latin and it means “itch”, as itching is one of the infection's primary symptoms. There are a lot of myths surrounding scabies, but in truth the actual disease is triggered by a small invertebrate mite (read: microscopic bug) called Sarcoptes Scabiei. When this mite gets into contact with human skin, it starts burrowing deep inside it and deposits its eggs inside How to Treat Diarrhea By : Richard james Diarrhea is defined as the passage of multiple watery, loose, or unformed stools. Diarrhea is not a disease , but rather, a medical condition that could be indicative of disease, illness, allergy, or infection. Diarrhea is only a symptom and therefore, treatment depends entirely on its cause. Most cases of diarrhea are self-limiting, though chronic diarrhea may be a sign of other health problems and should be brought to the attention of your doctor. How to Treat Blisters By : Richard james Like any other cut or bruise, getting rid of blisters is a trial of patience and a test of your ability to not pick or scratch at the blister. That’s what crazy people do; crazy people pick at themselves, and you’re not crazy, are you? Blisters are good things. If you didn’t get blisters, your doctor would get worried. No blisters means your body may be suffering from some sort of immunodeficiency, which is bad. How to Get Rid of Ringworms By : Richard james Ringworm is a common fungal infection that is highly contagious and can spread quickly. If your child gets it, alert his friends' parents to prevent an epidemic. Treatment can take weeks. How to Get Rid of Leg Bumps By : Richard james To eliminate leg bumps, aftershave, or razor bumps, you must understand what hair bumps are and where they come from. This will enable you to form a successful plan of attack. The bumps that appear on your skin are a direct result of ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs develop at the end of the hair shaft. How to Cure Olives By : Richard james You can cure olives at nearly any stage, but the really tiny green ones aren't really worth it. We sell raw green olives that grow from medium to super large. Grown with tender loving care in the sunny Central Valley area of California, USA. The differences between green and black olives are their ripeness and method of preparation. If interested in purchasing some of our raw olives visit our Raw Olive Order Page. You've got several choices, depending on your curiosity and fanaticism. Easiest Tips to Get Rid of Fever By : Richard james Fever is a good thing. It's your body's attempt to kill off invading bacteria and other nasty organisms that can't survive the heat. The hypothalamus, which is the body's thermostat, senses the assault on the body and turns up the heat much the way you turn up the thermostat when you feel cold. It's a simple defense mechanism, and the sweat that comes with a fever is merely a way to cool the body down. Easiest and Quickest Tips to Prevent from Sunburn By : Richard james Sunburn is a burn to living tissue such as skin produced by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun's rays. Exposure of the skin to lesser amounts of UV will often produce a suntan. Usual mild symptoms in humans and animals are red or reddish skin that is hot to the touch, general fatigue, and mild dizziness. An excess of UV-radiation can be life-threatening. What Is SCID? By : Richard james SCID stands for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency. That means that Parker's immune system does not work correctly. Your immune system is composed of white blood cells which are composed of different types of cells. Two of those are called T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes. What is Melanin Pigment? By : Richard james Melanin pigment is important in other areas of the body, such as the eye and the brain, but it is not known what the melanin pigment does in these areas. Melanin pigment is present in the retina (RET-n-ah), and the area of the retina called the fovea (FOE-vee-ah) does not develop correctly if melanin pigment in not present in the retina during development (see below). What is Ascites? By : Richard james Ascites is the presence of excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity. It is a common clinical finding with a wide range of causes, but develops most frequently as a part of the decompensation of previously asymptomatic chronic liver disease. The symptoms of ascites vary from patient to patient and depend largely on the quantity of fluid. What is Albinism? By : Richard james The word “albinism” refers to a group of inherited conditions. People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair. They have inherited altered genes that do not make the usual amounts of a pigment called melanin. One person in 17,000 in the U.S.A. has some type of albinism. Albinism affects people from all races. Ways to Stay Away From Panic Attack By : Richard james Look at what reactions happen within your mind and body. Chemicals produced and released internally are the catalyst to all the symptoms of a anxiety attack. Your body is an amazing machine and the network of nerves and sensory receptors in the body transmit all the information as it is received. Our brain will transmit warnings through a complex cerebral cortex causing the decision process to kick into life. Information on Irritable bladder – By : Richard james A sudden strong and irresistible urge to urinate characterizes the condition of having an irritable bladder in a person. There is however no pain associated with the condition even if there may be some discomfort in the urinary bladder. Unfortunately, the need to pass urine comes about in unexpected places and at odd times, causing discomfort and embarrassment to the afflicted person. Immunodeficiency In Children Information – By : Richard james Immune deficiency may also be the result of particular external processes or diseases; the resultant state is called "secondary" or "acquired" immunodeficiency. Common causes for secondary immunodeficiency are malnutrition, aging and particular medications (e.g. chemotherapy, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, immunosuppressive drugs after organ transplants, glucocorticoids). How to Treat Rashes By : Richard james A chronic rash can have adverse effects on the mental and physical well-being of patients, particularly children. However, many of these rashes are readily treated once an appropriate diagnosis is made. See your primary physician or ask for a referral to an allergist or dermatologist if you have a rash that's getting the best of you. How to Treat Poison Ivy By : Richard james One organic method used to get rid of poison ivy is to pull it out by the roots. The roots must be disposed of; do not burn! Inhaling fumes from burning poison ivy causes far greater health problems than just the rash caused by skin contact. Another natural method is to get rid of poison ivy by smothering it. Smothering entails cutting it back close to the ground, then placing newspapers, cardboard, old carpeting, tarps, mulch or some other covering on top of it. How to Treat Eczema By : Richard james Eczema is a common skin disease that can occur in infants, children and adults. The skin frequently has a scaly and inflamed appearance, and there may also be skin flaking, blisters which leak and then crust over, and extreme itchiness. How to Get Rid of Bad Breath By : Richard james Many rumors circulate from time to time about the cause of chronic bad breath, or halitosis. Does it emanate from the mouth or actually from somewhere in the gastrointestinal tract? You can almost rule out the theory of bad breath(BB) coming from places other than the mouth. Hepatits – Information, Symptoms and Treatment By : Richard james Hepatitis means liver inflammation. Viral hepatitis means that a person has liver inflammation due to a virus. Viral infection of the liver makes the liver swell up and stop working well. The liver is an important organ. Causes of Kaposi’s Sarcoma – By : Richard james Kaposi sarcoma is caused by a herpes virus -- human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). This virus may be transmitted by kissing. Among gay men infected with HHV-8 but without Kaposi sarcoma, the virus was found in one study in 30% of saliva samples and mouth swabs compared to only 1% of anal and genital samples and, when present, the levels of the virus were much higher in saliva than in semen. Bronchitis – Information and Symptoms By : Richard james Acute bronchitis is usually due to an infection and generally lasts for no more than a few weeks and will resolve either with treatment or on its own. It can be caused by the same viruses that cause the common cold and is a common complication of the cold or flu. Albinism – Symptoms, Causes and Treatment By : Richard james Albinism is hereditary it is not an infectious disease and cannot be transmitted through contact, blood transfusions, or other vectors. The principal gene which results in albinism prevents the body from making the usual amounts of the pigment melanin. What is Hydrocephalus? By : Richard james Hydrocephalus can be defined broadly as a disturbance of formation, flow, or absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that leads to an increase in volume occupied by this fluid in the central nervous system (CNS). This condition also could be termed a hydrodynamic disorder of CSF. What is Hookworm? By : Richard james Hookworm is an intestinal parasite of humans that usually causes mild diarrhea or cramps. Heavy infection with hookworm can create serious health problems for newborns, children, pregnant women, and persons who are malnourished. Hookworm infections occur mostly in tropical and subtropical climates and are estimated to infect about 1 billion people -- about one-fifth of the world's population. Ways to Get Rid of Ingrown Hairs By : Richard james Usually the bump will have greatly diminished and there is no need for anything else. Although for the stubborn situations keep this in mind. The hair will start to appear if you haven't seen it yet. You can use a lancet (needle that breaks open skin) to gently puncture skin if needed. Then you are able to pluck it out. You can buy lancets at a pharmacy or local drug store. Inguinal Hernia – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment By : Richard james Inguinal hernias occur when soft tissue — usually part of the intestine — protrudes through a weak point or tear in your lower abdominal wall. The resulting bulge of this common condition can be painful — especially when you cough, bend over or lift a heavy object. Information on Urinary Incontinence in Children – By : Richard james Parents or guardians of children who experience bedwetting at night or accidents during the day should treat this problem with understanding and patience. This loss of urinary control is called urinary incontinence or just incontinence. Although it affects many young people, it usually disappears naturally over time, which suggests that incontinence, for some people, may be a normal part of growing up. Information on Jaundice in Infant - By : Richard james During their first few days of life, more than half of all full-term babies and as many as four out of five premature infants who are otherwise healthy develop jaundice, a yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes. Although some babies are jaundiced at birth, most develop infant jaundice during their second or third day of life. That's why you may not notice it until after your baby is home.
