			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You probably know about the terrible statistics on heart disease.  It&#8217;s the #1 killer in the United States.  Heart disease kills one person every 34 seconds in the U. S.  alone.  What you may not know is the true cause of heart disease. . .  the real culprits.  Is it cholesterol?Is it saturated fats? The AMA (American Medical Association) and the AHA (American Heart Association) as well as the food industry have been telling us so forever.  Okay, maybe not forever, but a long time! If we know what the cause is, why have heart disease escalated into becoming our nation&#8217;s #1 killer? 3 Reasons Why Cholesterol and Saturated Fats Are Not the True Causes of Heart Disease1.  How can it be that as the consumption of saturated fats and cholesterol declined sharply from the levels it used to be, heart disease increased proportionately? It appears that the statistics are telling a different story than what the AMA, AHA, and the food industry has been telling us.  2.  Just look at significant role that saturated fats and cholesterol play in our bodies.  It will probably surprise you to know that saturated fats comprise at least 50% of your cell membranes (every single one of your trillions of cells), giving them stiffness and integrity.  Cholesterol also makes up part of the cell membrane, regulating its fluidity (what passes in and out) as well as giving stiffness and stability to the cell membrane.  Additionally, cholesterol is a precursor to bile (which is produced in the liver and gall bladder to emulsify fats), Vitamin D, the steroid hormones (that help us deal with stress), and the sex hormones.  Cholesterol is also very important for proper development of the brain and nervous system, so mother&#8217;s milk is very cholesterol-rich, and contains a special enzyme to help the baby utilize this nutrient.  How can saturated fats and cholesterol possibly be the bad guys in light of this information? 3.  HDL and LDL are NOT forms of cholesterol! That&#8217;s right, HDL and LDL are really lipoproteins, carrier molecules for cholesterol and other fats.  Because cholesterol and other fats are not water-soluble, they require a carrier molecule to transport them through the blood stream.  Even more interestingly, these carrier molecules have built-in cell-targeting signals, directing them to specific target cells.  Don&#8217;t you wonder why? Over Twenty Years of Research Has Established Inflammation&#8217;s Key Role in AtherosclerosisBut what&#8217;s causing the inflammation? Is it cholesterol or saturated fats, as the AMA, AHA and food industry has led us to believe? It is NOT.  We already proved it above.  The mechanism by which periodontal disease causes inflammation via free radicals produced by the immune system is well-known and accepted.  But the role saturated fats and cholesterol play in inflammation is unknown to medical doctors.  That&#8217;s because something else is causing the inflammation leading to atherosclerotic plaques.  That something else happens to be the very polyunsaturated oils touted as &#8220;heart healthy&#8221; by the AMA, AHA, and the food industry.  All of this information is well supported and detailed in my <a href="http://www.directorydomain.org">book</a>, Revolutionizing Your Health. How the Supposedly &#8220;Heart Healthy&#8221; Oils Are the True Causes of Heart Disease. . . Polyunsaturated oils go rancid and become oxidized very easily by heat and light, which mean they become a free radical.  Free radicals are very unstable molecules missing an electron.  In the body, they try to stabilize themselves by &#8220;stealing&#8221; an electron from neighboring cells.  This continues in a domino effect, wreaking cellular destruction and producing inflammation.  In fact, the high heat used in processing these oils often creates free radicals before the oil even leaves the processing plant.  Additionally, when these oils are used for cooking, and especially for frying, they produce tremendous amounts of free radicals.  Earlier, it was discussed that saturated fats make up at least 50% of cell membranes, along with cholesterol.  The trouble is that our bodies don&#8217;t distinguish between saturated fats and polyunsaturated oils.  A diet high in polyunsaturated oils will then be incorporated into cell membranes in place of the more stable and functional saturated fats.  In effect this makes weaker cell membranes that are loaded with free radicals.  This produces the inflammation that cardiologists now know to be at the root of heart disease.  Cholesterol is simply the &#8220;repair substance&#8221; the body uses to repair the cellular damage produced by the free radicals in polyunsaturated oils.  Now that you know the true cause of heart disease, you&#8217;ll know exactly what to stay away from.  You can beat heart disease through diet, nutrition, prevention and natural cures.  To learn more, I invite you to check out my new <a href="http://www.directorydomain.org">book</a>, &#8220;Revolutionizing Your Health&#8221;  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Typically the attitude of parent towards their kids is &#8220;Can Do&#8221;.  Their intension is to keep themselves bold to face challenges of life and more importantly to believe in them.  Sometimes parents don&#8217;t know that all kids are not of the same nature, some need special guidance to build strong confidence in them.  </p>
<p>Keep encouraging and interesting your kid as he does mistake and try to minimize his frustration.  Trying again and again will bring a successful end and so your kid will be able to overcome mistakes.  Once he successfully achieves something, reward him which he think is important.  But never go to present him a gift which creates bad habits in your kid.  Books interest kids a lot but there are kids specific books such as comic books also known as comics.  You can choose any of categories like comic books about disease awareness for kids, medical comic books for kids, cartoon comic books, educational comic books and so on.  </p>

In addition are antioxidants that can fight free radicals, vitamin C also plays a role in improving the immune system. Lately vitamin c also becomes a consumer to demand the appearance. Ideal dose of vitamin C is 75 milligrams per day. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should certainly take vitamin C greater than the amount earlier.</p>
<p>There is also the opinion enough to consume 200 milligrams a day. For people who live with stress or those who live in big cities full of pollution, a dose of 500 milligrams is a pretty good dose. Not everyone is aware and willing to eat a healthy balanced diet. In fact, the habit is not directly guaranteeing the supply of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins in the body adequately. Vitamin C is easy to encounter in their daily lives.</p>
<p>Conditions were then led to various options. For those who lack vitamin intake through natural foods come a variety of supplement products as the answer. But too many people have difficulty taking supplements of vitamin C by way of oral (taken), such as patients with gastric disease. Then there was another alternative to taking supplements of <a href="http://www.lackofvitamins.info/category/2/vitamin-c">Vitamin C</a>. One option was presented in the form of injections or injections of vitamins. People increasingly are interested in trying injections of vitamin C for antioxidant properties of this vitamin. In addition to boost immunity and speed up the healing process, will also make the skin look more beautiful and youthful.</p>
<div class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="margin: 1em">
<p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/L-ascorbic-acid-3D-balls.png/300px-L-ascorbic-acid-3D-balls.png" alt="The structure of the antioxidant vitamin ascor..." width="300" height="279" /></p>
</div>
<p><strong>Dose injections of vitamin C</strong></p>
<p>Giving injections of vitamin C may not exceed the recommended doctors, let alone too often. As injection of vitamin C with the objective of beauty, because after a long time will harden the blood vessels and disrupt blood</p>
<p>circulation. Good blood circulation generated by the cooperation between the heart, blood and its components, as well as blood vessel itself. In the</p>
<p>event of disruption in one of these components, then the blood circulation will be disrupted. As a result, the blood supply is inadequate and needs further cause heart attacks, strokes or other organ function. For that, a</p>
<p>smooth blood circulation is very important to our health. In addition, the possible negative effects are not necessarily, but in the long run can disrupt kidney function. Actually the most dangerous is when there is a rejection of the body during the injection, it can cause instant death.</p>
<p>Injections of vitamin C in high doses required for persons who are chronically ill (flu) for quick recover stamina, proper intake of Vitamin C we consume every day, only 50-60 milligrams (mg) per day. This we can get through the fruit we consume. With only one citrus fruit daily intake of vitamin C is</p>
<p>actually enough for us. Another case with an injection of vitamin C, for a one-time injection, 4,000 mg of vitamin C will go into our bodies. This means that far exceed the normal dose that we should consume. The appearance of skin will become brighter, whiter even after five injections of vitamin C. This is because vitamin C inhibits the formation of pigment in the skin. But the side effects could be far more dangerous.</p>
<p>If it is too often precipitate vitamin C in the body allow for crystallization. Need to watch out also the formation of kidney stones that can cause disease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is a sad day when one has to deal with pediatric disorders in the  family.  Most people believe that children should never suffer from  physical problems.  Yet, the reality must be faced that pediatric  disorders can happen.  The good news is that physiotherapy offers some  help for them.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there are numerous pediatric disorders.  To name a few,  there are: scoliosis, torticollis, Osgood-Schlatter, sports and  traumatic injuries, reluctant walkers, developmental disorders, cerebral  palsy, and genetic disorders.</p>
<p>Physiotherapy for scoliosis &#8211; a curvature of the spine &#8211; consists of  exercises to strengthen the back.  Electrical stimulation is used for  this type of pediatric disorders.  The stimulation goes directly to the  skeletal muscles.  Chiropractic is also used in an effort to straighten  the spine.</p>
<p>Torticollis is a type of pediatric disorders of the neck.  There is a  problem with one of the muscles of the neck so that the child is not  able to hold his head up straight.  The head will be tilted to one side.   This chin will jut out on the opposite side of the neck.   Physiotherapy can stretch this muscle so that the child can hold his  head more normally.</p>
<p>Spinal cord injuries as pediatric disorders are difficult to treat.   Children often do not want to do the work that is required to stay ahead  of the deterioration that can be caused by this condition.   Physiotherapy personnel are challenged to keep the child&#8217;s spirits up as  they teach them how to exercise with and without special equipment.</p>
<p>Brain injuries, including cerebral palsy and strokes are pediatric  disorders that must be managed delicately.  The neurological system is  often not as sturdy as the skeletal or muscular systems.  However, brain  injuries also involve these other systems as well.</p>
<p>A new treatment for these pediatric disorders like brain injuries is  using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.  This type of physiotherapy is based on  the idea that, in these conditions, there are often parts of the brain  that are not working but can be revived.  The HBOT can sometimes revive  them.</p>
<p>Pediatric disorders such as sports injuries and traumatic injuries  require different types of physiotherapy based upon the location and  severity of the injury.  If a child has repeatedly sprained the same  ankle, therapy will necessarily focus on that ankle, as well as any body  part that supports or counterbalances that ankle.  Overall strength is  important.</p>
<p>Traumatic injuries require a certain amount of psychological training,  as the subject of the accident or other ordeal may bring on such  distress that the child does not want to work.  A good physiotherapist  will be able to work with such a child.  Traumatic injuries can also be  severe enough that the physiotherapist plans a lengthy course of therapy  to overcome them.  Pediatric disorders like this require patience from  everyone involved.</p>
<p>The list of pediatric disorders is long and varied.  Not all of them can  be helped by physiotherapy at this time.  Right now, physiotherapy can  be used in many cases to relieve symptoms or even to reverse damage.   Physiotherapy performs a valuable function in helping children live more  normal lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For children having seizures or Epilepsy can be frightening, and even  more so for parents who witness the seizure.  When a child experiences a  seizure the first thing that needs to be done is to try and ascertain a  diagnosis.  There are different types of pediatric seizures a child may  experience.</p>
<p>As defined by E Medicine Health; a seizure occurs when the brain  functions abnormally, resulting in a change in movement, attention, or  level of awareness. Different types of seizures may occur in different  parts of the brain and may be localized (affect only a part of the body)  or widespread (affect the whole body). Seizures may occur for many  reasons, especially in children. Seizures in infants may be very  different than seizures in toddlers, school-aged children, and  adolescents.    Epilepsy refers to a pattern wherein seizures occur over  a long period. Thirty percent of children diagnosed with epilepsy  continue to have repeated seizures into adulthood, while others improve  over time.</p>

<p>The first consideration of treatment for children affected by seizure  disorders in most cases is medication.  It is often recommended that the  medication prescribed be started when the healthcare provider  recognizes that there is a significant likelihood that additional  seizures will occur and that the seizures will cause potential harm.  This is best predicted by healthcare providers when they have had a  chance to determine the identity of the seizure type and epilepsy.</p>
<p>Benefit of Massage and Alternative Therapies</p>
<p>Currently, many healthcare practitioners are also exploring the benefits  of using alternative based therapies in their treatment of children  with seizures.   There have been many studies which have found that more  than 50% of people experience declines in seizure frequency with the  use of relaxation techniques such as massage therapy.</p>
<div><ins><ins></ins></ins></div>
<p>Although, not caused by stress specifically, many seizure disorders and  epilepsy could likely be decreased, or in essence children may have  fewer attacks, when their levels of stress and tension are reduced.   Research findings have demonstrated that massage therapy helps decrease  stress and promotes relaxation, a possible trigger of some seizures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most visits to the chiropractor for children focus on preventive  treatments for asthma, ear infections, allergies and other  non-threatening ailments. However, a significant number of children are  left alarmingly untreated after major automobile accidents, and they  need to be examined even after minor personal injuries as well.</p>
<p>Even a restrained child in a car seat can suffer spinal trauma as the  result of an accident. Very often, after being examined and x-rayed at  the hospital, if a child is not displaying open signs of pain,  discomfort or injury, they are dismissed with no follow-up after the  accident except perhaps a family doctor.</p>
<p>While a visit to the family doctor will be of benefit, children involved  in automobile accidents also need to have their spine examined by a  pediatric chiropractor as soon after the incident as possible to rule  out major spinal trauma.</p>
<p>Additionally, regular spinal checkups for children are important not  only for monitoring spinal development, but also for periodic  realignments. Daily life as a child offers many opportunities to  misalign or unknowingly damage the spine, and even minor injuries can  effect drastic changes in a child’s behavior, mood, and overall health.</p>
<p>Infants and Spinal Health</p>
<p>Infants are subjected to potential spinal injuries almost daily.  Beginning with birth and any resulting injuries when traveling through  the birth canal, to sudden stops in cars and falls, any significant  unsupported movement of the head and neck can cause subluxations of the  vertebra. The simple act of learning to walk can bring injury to the  sacroiliac joints of the pelvis, and lower spinal trauma, due to the  number of times children fall at this time in their development.</p>
<p>How To Tell If Your Child Has a Spinal Problem</p>
<p>Although a specialist is advised for determining factually whether your  child is actually suffering from a spinal injury, there are some signs  you may look for in determining whether a visit to a chiropractor might  be necessary.</p>
<p>If your child tends to favor one side of their head over another, tilting it in one direction only</p>
<p>If your child does not have the full range of motion for their head or neck, restrictions of any kind to normal movement</p>
<p>If your child’s sleep patterns become restless or disturbed, they will only sleep for a few hours at a time</p>
<p>In very small children, feeding issues may appear, or they may show  difficulty nursing or a preference for one breast over the other</p>
<p>Some typical childhood ailments such as earaches, colic, headaches, sore  throats, growing pains and bed-wetting, are some disorders that can be  signs of deeper spinal issues</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Years ago children and teens had no choice but to get traditional metal  brackets if they wanted straight teeth. However, today they have much  more choices in the area of orthodontics and can get the beautiful smile  they long for with the use of Invisalign for Teens.</p>
<p>This teeth straightening system is quite appealing to kids and adults  because it&#8217;s virtually unnoticeable. The system uses clear removable  aligners patients wear all the time, with the exception of when they eat  or brush their teeth.</p>
<p>One of the biggest reasons children adore Invisalign is simply because  they aren&#8217;t very noticeable. Unless someone is looking very closely at  the mouth area, they&#8217;re undetectable. They are also much more  comfortable than traditional brackets and provide a smooth alternative  to the rough metal. Whilst several patients in traditional braces suffer  with mouth abrasions, Invisalign doesn&#8217;t present these same problems.</p>
<div><ins><ins></ins></ins></div>
<p>Those who are suffering with crooked teeth, crowded teeth or spacious teeth areas can often be great candidates for Invisalign.  Talking With Your Dentist About Invisalign For Teens  Schedule A Consult With A Certified Orthodontist  The first step to getting Invisalign invisible braces is to meet for a consult with a certified orthodontist. The  orthodontist will tell you should you are a great candidate for  Invisalign or not. If you have an extremely severe case of malocclusion,  you may not be a candidate.  The Creation Of Invisalign Invisible Braces  After you have gotten the &#8220;ok&#8221; from your certified orthodontist, the  next step is the actual Invisalign braces creation process. To aid in  this process, your orthodontist will take x-rays, photos and impressions  of your teeth. From these a plan will be created to take you from your  current teeth to the straight teeth you crave.</p>
<div><ins><ins></ins></ins></div>
<p>With the help of the 3-D computer imaging technology, the lab will  create a series of clear aligners for you to wear during treatment. Most  individuals need between 15 and 30 aligners to get their teeth where  they want them to be. However, it&#8217;s all dependent upon your specific  needs as a patient.  What Comes Next In Invisalign Treatment  After you get your first set of clear Invisalign aligner trays, you&#8217;ll be sent home to wear them constantly (unless  eating or brushing). Then every two or three weeks you&#8217;ll come back to  the orthodontist to get a new set of clear removable aligners to replace  your old ones with. Each time you revisit the doctor your teeth will  have moved slightly, which is why the new aligners are needed to  continue with the progress and movement.  Some doctors will give you several sets at a time to change at home your  self and then schedule you to see them every 6 weeks or so. This will  allow them to see how your teeth are moving. It often takes between 6  and 18 months of treatment to get complete results.  Ending Invisalign Treatment  When your Invisalign invisible braces treatment is over, you&#8217;ll have a  great smile you can be proud of. You&#8217;ll no longer need the clear  aligners and will only have to see your regular dentist for basic dental  care.</p>
