What Incredible Treatments Will Probably Help to Stop Hair Loss in Chaps

September 21st, 2008

The very worst part of loss of hair for lads is that there is no cure. Hair loss has been a topical issue for men in the UK but there are astonishing things that could stop further baldness.

There is a topical treatment for baldness called Minoxidil that should be taken in capsule or lotion form and will help men regrow their hair and prevent further loss of hair. The hair loss lotion comes in a variety of strengths with 1 percent being the most used. The loss of hair treatment is used under the watchful eye of a nurse and should be made aware that the hair loss treatment is not an awesome miracle cure. However, the terrific success of this hair loss treatment is approx sixty percent. The hair loss treatment course is a minimum of 3 months before awesome results will probably show and all women are recommended to continue the hair loss treatment for at least 6 months to a year.

For women that do not behold any hair growth with Minoxidil they could try hair transplants. Hair loss surgery is a permanent solution and involves moving the skin on the scalp to prevent bald areas. Hair plugs can be costly and involves a surgical procedure so may not be for everyone. Check out the latest Hair Loss treatments at Advanced Hair Studio.

Medical volunteer Anthony Loeff is reporting software for people suffering from blindness

July 29th, 2008

Linux distributions for the blind include Oralux and Adriane Knoppix. There are also open source screen readers, such as the Linux Screen Reader for GNOME and NonVisual Desktop Access for Windows.

Web browsers, word processors, icons and windows and email programs are just some of the applications used successfully by screen reader users.

This interpretation is then represented to the user with text-to-speech, sound icons, or a braille output. Access technology such as screen readers and Screen magnifiers enable the blind to use mainstream computer applications. Screen readers can be assumed to be able to access all display content that is not intrinsically inaccessible.

Further, using a screen reader is, according to some users, considerably more difficult than using a GUI and many applications have specific problems resulting from the nature of the application. Experimental approaches in sensory substitution are beginning to provide access to arbitrary live views from a camera.

The movement towards greater web accessibility is opening a far wider number of websites to adaptive technology, making the web a more inviting place for visually impaired surfers. This year nonprofit worker Anthony Loeff is writing about software applications for blind people Only a small fraction of this population, when compared to the sighted community, have Internet access.

The console-based Oralux Linux distribution ships with three screen-reading environments: Emacspeak, Yasr and Speakup. Screen reader choice is contentious: differing priorities and strong preferences are common. The open source GNOME desktop environment long included Gnopernicus and now includes Orca. Near 8 percent of those deemed legally blind, by any measure, have no vision. More and more, screen readers are being bundled with operating system distributions. A persons choice of screen reader is dictated by many factors, including platform and the role of organizations like charities, schools, and employers.

Recent versions of Microsoft Windows come with the rather basic Narrator. Screen readers are a form of assistive technology potentially useful to people who are blind, visually impaired, or learning disabled, often in combination with other AT such as screen magnifiers. The Macintosh OS also comes with a built-in screen reader, called VoiceOver. The rest have some vision, from light perception alone to relatively good acuity. A screen reader is a software application that attempts to identify and interpret what is being displayed on the screen. Most legally blind people 78 percent do not use computers. Indeed functionality remains limited compared to equivalent desktop applications, the major benefit is to increase the accessibility of said websites. While Apple Mac OS X includes VoiceOver, a more feature-rich screen reader. Later versions of Microsoft Windows include an Accessibility Wizard and Magnifier for those with partial vision, and Microsoft Narrator, a simple screen reader. The latter developed in part by Knopper who has a visual impairment. The primary audience for such applications is those who have difficulty reading because of learning disabilities or language barriers.

Cell Implants Improve Motor Control in Parkinson’s Patients

June 16th, 2008

Human retina cell implants improved motor symptoms in a group of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients who participated in a recent study, and they appeared to be safe and well tolerated, according to a report published in the Archives of Neurology.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremor, rigidity, postural instability and slowed ability to start and continue movements. Most patients with PD require therapy with the medication levodopa to control symptoms three to five years after a diagnosis of PD.

Motor Fluctuations

However, disease progression and long-term oral treatment with levodopa may lead to the development of motor fluctuations and difficulty in performing voluntary movements (dyskinesias).

Human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells produce levodopa and can be isolated from post-mortem human eye tissue, grown in culture, and implanted into the brain attached to microcarriers. (The retinal pigment epithelium is the pigment cell layer found in the inner layer of the retina of the eye.)

These implants have been shown to ease motor problems in animal models of Parkinson’s disease in earlier research, according to the article.

48 Percent Improvement

Natividad P. Stover, MD, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and colleagues conducted an open-label pilot study to evaluate the effect of unilateral implantation of human RPE cells attached to gelatin microcarriers.

Six patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease received cell implants, which were inserted into the brain tissue. The researchers performed efficacy evaluations at one and three months after surgery, and then at six, nine, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months. Yearly follow-up visits are ongoing and will continue.

“The implants were well tolerated,” the authors report. “We observed an average improvement of 48 percent at 12 months after implantation in the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale motor subscore with the patient in the off state, which was sustained through 24 months.”

Quality of Life

“Improvement was also observed in activities of daily living, quality of life and motor fluctuations. No off-state dyskinesias were observed,” they add.

“On the basis of the motor improvement and tolerability observed in this open-label study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study has been initiated to more objectively test efficacy and continue to assess safety,” the authors conclude.

The Power of Thoughtforms

May 16th, 2008

“If there is one thing that is important for you to know, it
is that every thought, even the most insignificant is a living
reality. Thoughts can even be seen, there are people who can see
them. Of course on the physical plane, a thought is invisible
and intangible, but it is no less real: in its own region and
with its own subtle matter, it is a living, active
being…”(Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov)

Thoughtforms can be described as energetic patterns that exist
within our aura, and they are created by our own thoughts. So if
you have the thought, ‘I have all the energy I need, I have all
the energy I need’, with enough conviction and belief, you’ll
create a thought form who ‘makes this so’, and this newly
created thoughtform will then live happily inside your aura.

This thoughtform will help you draw towards you all the
circumstances you need to ‘make it so’, for example, it may help
you realise that you need to give up smoking, as a first step
towards better health and energy, then it may nudge you towards
taking up a new hobby that you really enjoy, (and therefore
boosts your energy) and as you clear each hurdle, improving diet
etc, etc, the thoughtform will continue to help you clear all
obstacles between you and the optimum energy levels that you
want to create. This could take weeks, months, or could be a
life’s work!

You could say that thoughtforms are the spiritual equivalent to
computer programmes, and sub-routines, as they will keep running
the same programme until the time where an intent and focus is
made (by you) to change them.

You can have thoughtforms of depression, which always respond to
certain triggers with hopelessness and despair, or thoughtforms
of overeating, thoughtforms of rage. It only knows how to exist
as itself, (it only has one programme to run!) and so
thoughtforms will always attempt to deal with life in the same
way.

Thoughtforms are created over time, and are the energetic
equivalent of schemas (deeply held beliefs). If there is a very
strong activating event, that happens only once; such as the
trauma of a car accident, or rape, then, because of the strength
of the emotions, a powerful thoughtform will be created. Or if
over a number of years, an experience happens daily of being
undermined in small, subtle ways, such as the dynamics that can
occur in families, then again, due to the dripping tap of
emotion, a large pool of energy is created for the thoughtform
to grow big and strong. So then, here we have the situation of a
thoughtform living happily (maybe not for you) in your aura,
creating the reality of the belief that is at the core of its
existence, and feeding off the energy that it co-creates with
the world around. Well, what then?

Well, the good news is that YOU are the computer programmer
(phew), and have at your fingertips a wealth of tools. Thoughts
and emotions have great power, when used together with intent,
and this is how the power of affirmations, speaking them,
writing them, thinking them effectively and over time will bring
about positive change. So for example, affirming ‘I love and
approve of myself’, will help heal a negative thoughtform that
is creating, ‘I am a useless person’. Affirmations are often not
enough in themselves, but work well when combined with other
methods.

Hypnotherapy is an excellent way of ‘plugging’ straight in to
the appropriate thought forms, and bringing about positive
change. As while counselling and psychotherapy will ‘whittle
away’ at the beliefs created over years in childhood, often
using the logical, conscious left-brain to prove to yourself
that you’re not useless after all, hypnotherapy does this by
going straight to ‘the heart of the problem’, and can bring
about immediate transformation.

Hypnotherapy also uses the power of the word, and of sound, and
of healing energy which is channelled through the word. When a
hypnotherapist is speaking to a client in trance, the therapist
is co-creating with the client new thought forms.

Parts therapy is incredibly useful, and indeed parts therapy is
a way of communicating directly to your thoughtforms. In most of
us, there are a number of thoughtforms, all working in different
directions, and through parts therapy, you can bring them under
conscious control and get them to ‘pull together’ working
together in harmony, and for the highest good.

Because these thought forms are energy and don’t actually exist
in their own right, (having been created secondary to that
person) as a healer I use a number of clearing techniques. One
excellent energy for doing this is the violet flame, which
anyone can use. This energy transforms and transmutes negative
energy into positive energy. So a thoughtform can be removed and
made available for use for a positive thoughtform. I use the
technique of drawing off the energy with my left hand, and then
‘ciphoning’ it to my right hand and to the violet flame, which I
visualise as a violet flame ‘bonfire’ directly underneath my
right hand.

Other energy healing techniques using certain hand positions can
be used to ‘break down’, and dissipate any negative thoughtforms
around the head or solar plexus, and also certain hand positions
work powerfully on past life traumas stored in the brain stem.

Sometimes bringing in the energy which is opposite to the
thoughtforms gently eases them away, so with a fear thoughtform,
you might bring in gentle calming energies; calling on
archetypes that represent this energy, such as White Tara or
Buddha, and channel their particular high vibration of energy.
This energy can then gently ‘wash away’ and dissolve the fear
thought form.

It’s important in this healing work, (as in parts therapy), to
always treat the ‘forms’ that you’re working with, with great
care, and not take the stance of ‘obliterating them’. This is
not a war to be fought, but a diplomatic negotiation of change,
where compassion and sensitivity are the keys to success.

We create our own reality, and our own karma through the process
of creating these thoughtforms in response to the world around
us, and our past experiences and beliefs. I believe thought
forms can be carried from life to life (as energy never dies, it
only changes). With this perspective, your life path becomes a
far more ’cause and effect’ process, and one in which we can
take our power back.

So, you might want to have a think about what kind of
thoughtforms you might be carrying around with you, and how to
do a bit of ‘life laundry’ on them. Working to raise the energy
and vibration of your thoughtforms (and of course you!) is
probably the most satisfying and rewarding work you can
undertake, as you’ll be repaid by your reality ever increasingly
reflecting the inner brightness of your light!

Being A Celiac Can Be An Advantage

May 2nd, 2008

Being A Celiac Can Be An advantage

It is very easy to focus on the difficulties of keeping to a gluten free diet, particularly when eating out. However you can also discover that being on a special diet can have huge advantages. I was on a recent business trip staying away from home, working as a facilitator/ trainer. Delegates were asked to choose lunch and dinner from a rather restricted menu.

I on the other hand was invited to choose from the A la Carte menu. At the first lunch time there was no suitable desert. I spoke to the waiter and asked that there should be something more exciting than fresh fruit for the evening meal. From then on every meal a “creation” each more interesting than the last appeared amid oohs and ahhs from the assembled company. As they were of gigantic proportions my table were happy to share in my gastronomic delight.

I accept you have to wrestle with the issue of being ‘different’ but at times it is rather nice to find that the difference leads to an enjoyable difference rather than watching everyone else tuck into something scrummy whilst I get the boring option.

There are a few principles to ensure you get good service from a restaurant:

Talk to the staff and make yourself known when you arrive

Smile and engage rather than demand

Explain what you are able to eat and what to avoid

If things go wrong (and they will!) explain politely that what has been served will make you very ill. Ask them to completely replace with something safe rather than take the offending item off the rest. An example of this happened last week when a selection of sorbets came up with a biscuit. A quiet word with the waiter meant it was whisked away and a completely new sundae appeared very quickly.

Always thank people for their help. It will make them much more likely to go that extra mile for you if you return and for the next celiac who walks through the door

COPD Stages

May 1st, 2008

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD kills countless people in the United States every year and it has no cure. Caused mainly by smoking, the early identification of this disease helps is crucial in controlling the symptoms. Also, the medicine prescribed for the disease largely depends on the stage the disease is in.

In the initial stage of the COPD, any obvious symptoms may not be visible in the patient’s body. However, the patient may experience symptoms such as cough or excessive sputum. Often, the patient experiences minimal shortness of breath. If detected in the early stages, COPD can largely be controlled by immediately stopping the consumption of tobacco. This stage is called stage 0. This stage is considered as the “Risk Stage”

In stage 1, the patient may experience severe breathlessness on a regular basis. But, it will not affect his daily life, as the periods of breathlessness are short lived. This is considered to be a mild stage. In this stage, the lung function of the patient is equal to or better than 50% of the lungs function of a healthy adult of the same age. Here, functions of the lungs are tested with a spirometer. Mild COPD can be treated with short acting inhaled beta-agonists.

In stage 2, the performance of the lungs drops down to 30% to 40%. This is the stage where the disease actually starts affecting daily life as the periods of breathlessness are more frequent and continue for long durations. This stage is considered to be a ‘moderate’ stage and can be treated with one or more bronchodilators or inhaled anticholinergics.

In stage 3, the performing level of the affected lungs drops below an alarming 35%. As the intensity of the disease increases, the quality of life decreases rapidly. The patient is now affected more and more by severe breathlessness. This stage is considered to be severe. In many cases, it can be life threatening. Severe COPD can be treated with one or more bronchodilators, inhaled glucocorticosteroids, and inhaled anticholinergics.

The earlier the symptoms of COPD are detected, the better it is for the patient. Although COPD cannot be completely cured, it can certainly be controlled well, if detected. The best advice to avoid the probability of COPD is — Don’t Smoke!
