Background: Telenursing is a low‑cost, highly accessible method that can lead to increased awareness on the principles of care, and may eventually help reduce the stress experienced by caregivers of patients with stroke. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of telenursing through phone consultation on the levels of depression and anxiety in family caregivers of patients with stroke.
Materials and Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial including 152 caregivers of stroke patients discharged from Mohammad Vase'ee Hospital in Sabzevar in 2016. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling method and were randomly assigned to control (n = 76) and intervention (n = 76) groups. The intervention consisted of 32 sessions of phone consultation. Research tools included demographic characteristics form, needs assessment questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. Data were analyzed with independent t test using SPSS, version 23.
Results: Mean (SD) post‑intervention anxiety scores for the intervention and the control group were statistically significant (t = 3.51, p = 0.001). However, the difference in mean depression scores after intervention was not significant (p = 0.70).
Conclusions: Telenursing can be employed to facilitate the care of chronic patients as well as increase the psychological well‑being of the caregivers through providing practical and specialized information.

Learn how to setup and use aperture priority mode on the Sony a6000.
In this tutorial, I go over aperture priority (A mode) on the Sony a6000 and show you how to adjust the aperture. I also give a quick overview of how to use exposure compensation to brighten or darken the exposure when using aperture priority mode.


In covering both the 'Tri-City Holiday Classic' (December 2018) and 'William W. Lawson, Jr. Classic' (January 2019) this season, one particular team caught my eye in the back-to-back events: Thomas Jefferson High School (TJ). The Vikings showed out with their breathtaking pace and style of play during the four total games I watched them compete in; wearing opposing teams down in each contest and not taking terribly long to do so. TJ also makes my list of programs I've deemed fairly underrated this season. After a 62-58 loss to Douglas Freeman High School last night (2/5), they currently hold a 13-11 record with the regular season soon about to close. Things continue to look promising for the Vikings… this could result as their first winning season since 2013 and I could see them making a strong push into the playoffs. They'll just have to stay the course; something that their senior captain, Teon Tiller '19, agrees with. He's back and better this year, playing as one of Richmond, VA's top scorers/two-way guards.
It's safe to say that the Tiller family has a bit of clout in the TJ basketball program. Outside of Teon's stellar play throughout his own career, father Travis Tiller also had a strong career as a starter back in the 1990s. Teon also has a younger brother who can potentially take the keys next. Regardless of the family tree, Teon focused the most on the team's approach to this season in order to finally start achieving goals the program's held for the last several years. Hard work's been nothing new to the Vikings' returners, but now they've learned how to build off of past experiences.
The results look satisfying, as one can sense an excellent camaraderie and confidence within this year's group. As one of five seniors leading the pack, Tiller knows how to set the tone right as games tip-off. I was stunned when watching him play back in those aforementioned events… he's a BLUR on the court. In the three-day 'Tri-City Holiday Classic,' the 5'8" guard scored more total points than anyone, including a ridiculous 36 against Petersburg High School. His quickness makes him one of the tougher guards to stay in front of and he plays with strength/body control when attacking the rim for finishes. Tiller's most impressive attribute involved how he could draw foul after foul; he has both the IQ and physical play to do so. As a primary ball-handler, he shows a tight handle and can also set up those around him for both perimeter and paint looks. He's currently ranked fourth in the area's top scoring leaders with over 20 points per game. Still, his defense arguably sets him apart. Even he himself will acknowledge he takes the most pride on that end.
Picking off steals never really comes with ease, yet Tiller makes it look like a day in the park. I'm not sure of his average, but I'm assuming he can average four steals a night at minimum if he wished to. His way of getting steals is simply… different; it wouldn't surprise me to see him get a double-double of points and steals more than once. With his defensive prowess speaking volumes, Tiller knows what else he'll need to keep improving in his game as he continues along in his basketball career.
One could determine part of the reason for Tiller's passion for the game out there on the hardwood having to do with how this opportunity wasn't presented the same way a year ago. As I briefly mentioned earlier, the guard's back this year… back from an injury that kept him sidelined from a good chunk of the 2017-18 season. Thankfully, health hasn't appeared as an issue at all; Tiller plays the majority of minutes in the starting lineup and shows no clear signs of uneasiness.
I'm sure Tiller's teammates also feel good having their leader with them to keep the ball rolling. As the postseason approaches in a few weeks, TJ realizes their goals established back in the summer will start to fully come into play.
Undoubtedly, treating everything with detail improves a team's chances of winning the ultimate prize. I like that motto of the Vikings… a short noun, yet full of meaning.
Recruitment's going well for the senior guard, as his explosive play this winter has attracted the attention of several programs at the next level.
Obviously, one rarely can give assurance to specific future accomplishments, as nobody can determine what the future holds. Still, Tiller promises to bring one intangible to a college program that lands him.
Those who do not already know may also find it intriguing to learn Tiller not only excels at basketball. He also puts in work on the diamond at TJ in the spring semesters.
Sounds like not much free time for his final year of high school. I'm sure Tiller wouldn't have it any other way, however, as a true athlete. He has several more things on his checklist he wishes to complete before graduation.
Winning both on and off the court, I expect Tiller to keep paving the way over there at TJ. His 'dog' mentality in approaching everything in life should keep helping him find success as he progresses into the next stage after high school. That mentality, along with his evident confidence, makes the future look bright.
So then, where does Teon Tiller see himself in ten years?
If you haven't seen Teon play yet, hurry before it's too late! Electrifying on the hardwood.


I still don't understand the Josh Normal hype. Again, he had "great coverage" on a play yesterday where the receiver caught the ball for a huge gain.
Is there any YouTube action on this guy yet that someone can post? I feel like I am completely blind to anything good that he does because i've seen nothing good come from him except when he's on the sideline not getting burned.
Are you really talking about the throw to #15 with Norman draped all over him? Big play? It was like 15 yards. The Redskins had few big plays in the air.
A rookie gives up 1 TD all season and he's supposedly getting burned? And the safety above him is Haruki Nakamura? I'll take that.
I bet you'll be citing a perfect throw from Peyton to Decker/Thomas as reasons for Norman sucking next week too.
1 TD, really? Didn't he give up 1 TD per Quarter against the Giants?
I am going to review the tape and document his major shortcomings, it's just going to take me a lot of time to do since there are so many.
Was totally feeling Cam before the game started.. I was the only person in our pool of 50 people to go Panthers and they won!!!!! So proud of Cam for pulling it off.

Q: Is it a good practice to use both synchronize(while updating) and volatile(for immediate read) for the same set of variables? (All of this is in a multi-threaded environment)
I have a scenario in my code which requires me to update the static variables in a class. Now, based on the latest combination of the variables, the code might enter one flow or the other. I've used synchronize to allow only one thread to update the variables. Since, I also want any other thread to notice the most recent value only, I've declared the two variables as volatile too. I've been reading about the differences b/w the two keywords, and I believe that both of them have to be used to achieve what I want. The read accesses are not synchronized, only the part where I write to the variables is synch-ed.
I am new to the multithreading domain in Java, and would like to know if this is a good practice. Is there a better (more efficient) way of achieving this in Java?

A: You can use ReentrantReadWriteLock to handle this type of scenario.

Commitment to environmental protection.
Commitment to environmental protection

sustainabilitymail displayamagmail displayat
As a sustainable company, AMAG works on continuously improving its environmental performance. Its environmental management system includes compliance with all legal regulations and official requirements as well as the systematic evaluation of relevant environmental aspects and effects.
The continuous improvement of operational environmental protection by avoiding or reducing environmental pollution forms an essential component.
AMAG endeavours to exploit aluminium products' energy-saving potential through a high level of recycling and low energy consumption during production. The casthouses and rolling mills are the main energy consumers at the Ranshofen production site.
Natural gas is utilised in the casthouses to melt and temper aluminium. In the rolling mill, most of the electricity consumed is harnessed to drive the mill stands, and electricity and natural gas utilised in the heat treatment of aluminium strips and plates.
The total energy consumed at the Ranshofen site amounted to approximately 653,200 MWh in 2020 (2019: 745,200 MWh). This is calculated as the consumption of fuel from non-renewable sources (natural gas, diesel, heating oil and propane) and electrical energy.
The lower consumption in the 2020 reporting year arises from the lower production volume compared to 2019.
With regard to energy sources in the electricity mix, AMAG relies on the utilisation of renewable energy sources in order to act in a manner compatible with climate protection. In 2020, for example, AMAG purchased a total of 76 % from hydro power. The share of wind energy and electricity from solid biomass and photovoltaics amounted to 24 %. As a consequence, no indirect CO2 emissions are generated from electricity production.
The following principles are adhered to in this context:
Efficient energy utilisation through the use of suitable technologies and process optimisation
Transparent calculation and evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions in compliance with all international and national requirements
Securing cost-efficient energy supplies through active energy management
Systematic and regular monitoring of legal requirements and in-house processes
The EU has committed itself to climate neutrality by 2050, and Austria has set itself this target by 2040 in order to counteract the temperature increase of two degrees Celsius. The reduction of CO2 emissions requires specific approaches and measures from companies. AMAG's declared objective is to reduce specific CO2 emissions and the impact of its business activities on the environment, and thereby contribute to the achievement of national and European decarbonisation targets. AMAG's customers are sustainably supported by the use of alloys with the lowest possible CO2 footprint, a high level of aluminium recycling expertise and a high scrap utilisation level.
In order to categorise the CO2 footprint, the emissions are assigned to three so-called "scopes". AMAG is intensively engaged in reducing such emissions, and is implementing the following measures to this end:
ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES TO REDUCE DIRECT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (SCOPE 1 EMISSIONS): In the course of the site expansion at the Ranshofen site, investments have been realised in recent years in state-of-the-art facilities in order to continue to produce at a high ecological level. In particular, the doubling of capacity of the production facilities has driven forward energy-efficient operating methods. AMAG focuses on systematically boosting energy efficiency, achieved through consistent improvement of processes and plants as well as related heat recovery. In addition, an AMAG team is working on the sustainable decarbonisation of the production process within a particular project.
USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY TO AVOID INDIRECT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (SCOPE 2 EMISSIONS): Indirect greenhouse gas emissions have no longer been generated since the 2018 reporting year thanks to the purchase of electricity from hydroelectric power and other renewable sources. The planned expansion of the company's own energy production through the installation of a photovoltaic system at the Ranshofen site represents a further step. AMAG is building Austria's largest rooftop photovoltaic system on an area of 55,000 m², equivalent to around eight football pitches.
HIGH SCRAP UTILISATION RATE FOR THE REDUCTION OF OTHER INDIRECT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS): The production of primary aluminium involves very high energy input. By contrast, aluminium scrap is utilised in secondary aluminium production. When remelting scrap, just 5 % of the energy needed for primary production is required. AMAG is one of the largest aluminium recyclers in Europe. AMAG's existing technological process chain and expertise, which extends from sampling and scrap processing to the melting of contaminated scrap, enables us to guarantee high recycling content in our products and to support our customers in their own efforts to minimise their carbon footprint.
The expansion of recycling competences will continue to shape AMAG's successful course in the future, and will become even more important for the company and its stakeholders in relation to the achievement of climate targets.
In the 2020 reporting year, direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1) amounted to 92,100 tonnes (2019: 104,400 tonnes). No Scope 2 emissions have been generated since the 2018 reporting year thanks to the purchase of electricity from hydroelectric power and other renewable sources.
Specific CO2 emissions (Scope 1 + 2) in relation to production volume (tonnes of CO2/t) grew to 0.168 CO2/t in 2020 (2019: 0.163 tonnes of CO2/t). As with specific energy consumption, this increase is primarily due to reduced plant utilisation and required standby operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For reasons of materiality, only upstream emissions from the purchase of primary aluminium, rolling slabs and metal alloys are included in the calculation of Scope 3 emissions. The factor of 8.6 tonnes CO2eq/t of aluminium used in Europe, as used in the European Aluminium's "Environmental Profile Report", was applied for the calculation.
This covers direct processes and auxiliary processes, thermal energy, electricity and transport. In the 2020 reporting year, Scope 3 emissions amounted to 1,072,000 tonnes of CO2eq (2019: 1,200,000 tonnes of CO2eq).
The water supply at the Ranshofen site is ensured by two service water wells and one drinking water well. AMAG is located on a groundwater body - a stream of water that drains into the Inn River at a rate of approximately 20-40 l/sec and 100 m flow below the plant premises.
The permitted use of industrial water is based on a withdrawal quantity determined by the authority for AMAG. Groundwater withdrawal is accompanied by extensive monitoring, including groundwater level measurements. The groundwater can be utilised directly in AMAG without chemical treatment and without transportation over long distances.
A large proportion of the water extracted is utilised for cooling as part of casting, rolling and heat treatment processes and is thereby only thermally loaded - specifically, this means that a large part of the water that is utilised is only heated, and neither consumed nor contaminated. A very small proportion of the water used is chemically contaminated. This operational effluent is treated in effluent treatment plants and the discharge is continuously monitored by measuring essential parameters via probes. If the measured value is exceeded due to impurities, the water is automatically directed into a separate basin, from where it is disposed of. In addition to ongoing measurement via probes, effluent samples are examined for a large number of parameters as part of certified monitoring by internal and external laboratories. Rainwater is largely drained at the AMAG site.
The total water withdrawal for AMAG in 2020 stood at approximately 3,277,000 m3 (2019: 3,656,000 m3). For the purpose of multi-year comparison, the total water withdrawn in 2007 was added to the bar chart below.
For many years, measures have been implemented as part of sustainable rainwater management.
To this end, numerous seepage reservoirs and seepage troughs for rainwater have been created on the plant site.
The total area of the realised or planned drainage possibilities extends to around 4 hectares. Around 128 hectares of roof and other areas are drained via these seepage areas.
The construction of rainwater seepage reservoirs reduces the volume of rainwater that was previously discharged into the River Inn via a collection channel. As a consequence, a large volume of rainwater from various roof and open spaces on the factory premises is cleaned in a controlled manner and drains away on site. The rainwater drainage is very similar to the natural water cycle: by passing through the seepage reservoirs and troughs, the water is cleaned by a specially installed soil filter. The rainwater treated in this way is fed directly into the body of water on the plant site.
The drainage systems are designed as soil filter or lawn troughs. The construction of drainage facilities thereby makes a positive contribution to groundwater formation and flood protection. AMAG has been nominated for Energy Globe Award Upper Austria 2020 for sustainable rainwater management.
In the manufacture of products, as well as in the performance of production processes and other activities, attention is paid to environmentally sound waste management. A particular focus is placed on disposal of hazardous waste (such as used oil, emulsions, workshop waste and filter dust) in compliance with statutory requirements. Waste law managing directors have been appointed for the collection of hazardous waste, and individuals have been appointed with responsibility for non-hazardous waste. Waste officers are responsible for monitoring compliance with waste legislation, and are required to report to management in this capacity. Waste is recorded entirely according to waste type and volume for the purpose of traceability in accordance with the Waste Documentation Ordinance, and is handed over to licensed companies for disposal and treatment within the framework of the legal provisions.
Specific waste volumes in relation to production volume amounted to 16.6 kg/t in 2020 (2019: 16.3 kg/t). In the 2020 reporting year, waste quantities were recalculated by recording waste from construction activities separately, and no longer under production-specific waste quantities (retrospectively also for the 2019 and 2018 reporting years). A new, quantitative target definition was implemented for the production-specific waste volumes.
AMAG currently owns around 300 hectares of land. The industrially built-up area amounts to around 100 hectares. A total of 178 hectares form part of the company's own forestry operation, which in turn forms part of the Lachforst forest complex and is managed under the supervision of a forest warden.
This entails special requirements – as does the proximity to the nature reserves "Unterer Inn" and "Buchenwald" only a few kilometres away, the fauna-flora-habitat area (FFH area) "Auwälder am unteren Inn" and the "Salzachmündung" bird sanctuary in Bavaria, which are subject to stringent nature conservation guidelines.
By maintaining green spaces on the company premises, a contribution is made to the preservation of biodiversity. AMAG's forestry operations are not regarded as commercial forests, where the focus is on economic returns. Rather, the aim is to achieve sustainable management that continuously promotes the forest's ecological value. Open spaces are designed according to their nature conservationand open space design potential.
The preservation of green spaces thereby forms one of the basic requirements of biodiversity-promoting and climate-adapted green space management. Work is underway at present on a green space maintenance concept which, in addition to economic aspects, includes an optimised contribution to the promotion of biological diversity.
Since the 2017 reporting year, we have published a summarized non-financial statement in our management report, thereby fulfilling our reporting obligation in accordance with the Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act (NaDiVeG). It summarizes the essential information for AMAG on the five required aspects of environmental issues, employee issues, social issues, respect for human rights, anti-corruption and bribery.

Tourist information on Raphael in Rome includes information on his great works on display in the city of Rome such as his frescoes at the Vatican and paintings at the Villa Borghese, as well other points of interest related to Raphael in the city of Rome.
Raphael Urbinas was born in Urbino on 6th April , and died in Rome on the same day in 1520.The importance of Raphael on the world of Art and especially Rome itself, can be summed up by the epitaph inscribed on his tomb that rests in the Pantheon, "This is that Raphael, by whom in life; Our mother Nature feared defeat; And in whose death did fear to die". He's untimely death, at the age of only thirty-seven, plunged the papal court and the city of Rome into universal sorrow.
A tour of the Raphael sights in Rome could start with a visit to the Villa Borghese where there are two delightful portraits to admire. One of which is titled a "portrait of a man". This work presumably is a portrait of Pinturicchio a rival of Raphael who delightful frescoes illuminate the St. Ignazius (Sant'Ignazio) church featured on our Original Rome Walking Tour.
At the Palazzo Barberini admire the portrait "La Fornarina" (the bakers daughter). The portrait is of Raphael's great love who was the model for many of his famous portraits, and was only later recognized in the 17th Century as Margherita Luti, the daughter of Sienese baker who lived in the Trastevere zone of the city. The artists mistress wears a bracket on her upper arm, bearing the words "Raphael Urbinas".
The Artists church of San Maria del Popolo features the chapel Chigi, a construction conceived entirely by Raphael, who also prepared the cartoons for the mosaics on the ceiling. Given a circular plan, reflecting the influences of his close friend Bramante, it was built for the Chigi family to serve as a mausoleum.
This work along with paintings by Caravaggio, and other unique features are featured on our Private Walking Tour - "the artists of Rome" The highlight of a tour of Raphael's Rome would be a visit to the Vatican museum to admire the rooms he decorated in the apartments of Pope Julius II. To his taste Raphael designed an ample painted architecture, with large lunettes on the walls and panels on the ceiling illustrating concepts of Neoplatonic philosophy.
This was an undertaking of great responsibility for the young Raphael, who while still working on it saw the first part of the ceiling of the Sistine chapel unveiled in 1511. Eight years younger than Michelangelo, he was so overwhelmed that he became obsessed with a desire to emulate him. Enjoy an in-depth tour of Raphael's rooms on our Vatican Tour.
Inside the Villa Farnesina are remarkable frescoes by the hand of Raphael, where he tried to create paintings of the Ancient Roman style. He studied ancient tombs and other stone relics to get ideas on how the ancients would create their paintings.
Until the eighteenth century when Pompeii and other sites were excavated, it wasn't possible to admire harmony of those magnificent paintings. But, Raphael re-created them several centuries earlier, with only a few stone relics and his imagination to go by.


1. If your dog is not near you, you can't take advantage of training opportunities.
Often, I have heard people say their dog IS trained. But there is always something to work on, so keeping your dog close is a must.
2. This leads into if your dog is off leash he can run away. Even the most well trained dog can do that.
3. An off leash dog can irritate wildlife. Nature is the home of many species and they deserve to not be bothered there.
4. An off leash dog can bring wildlife back to you – bears. Need I say more?
5. If your dog is off leash it is more difficult to pick up their waste. If you feed your dog food with preservatives in it, it will not break down as is often thought.
Anyway something to think about.
'Tis the season for spending time with your dogs outdoors! This is a great reminder that keeping them close is a great idea.

What are the key issues for feline welfare?
There are an estimated 10 million owned cats in the UK. Here is a selection of eight examples of issues that affect feline welfare in alphabetic order.
Air weapons and cats
Cats are too often the victims of shootings using air weapons. The purchase, acquirement, possession and use of air weapons in Scotland or Northern Ireland is subject to licence but unlicensed in England and Wales. The Home Office recently consulted on a range of issues including safety measures and a licensing system for these weapons.
Brexit and pet passports
Too many cats are entering the UK unchecked, presenting a potential public health risk as well as a risk to animal welfare. Just one cat or kitten entering the UK unchecked could put the UK at risk of rabies or other zoonotic diseases. Leaving the European Union could present an opportunity to review our border checks and introduce compulsory tick and tapeworm treatment for cats entering the UK. There is also the question of animal sentience – the Government has published a draft Animal Welfare Bill that proposes writing animal sentience into UK law.
Cat breeding and sale
Unlike dog breeding, cat breeding is unregulated. Too many kittens are still being sold in pet shops. The Government has proposed ending the commercial sale of kittens below eight weeks of age and requiring all commercial sellers to acquire an animal establishment licence. DEFRA is currently consulting on banning the third party sale of kittens, which would include pet shops.
Designer cat breeds
Although most pet cats in the UK are 'moggies', the popularity of purebred cats with breed features that pose a potential risk to their welfare is increasing. Cat breeds of concern include brachycephalic (flat-faced) cats such as extreme breeds of Persian, cats bred with dwarfism such as Munchkins and cats bred with cartilage deficiencies such as the Scottish Fold.
Human wellbeing and cats
Pet ownership can be of huge benefit to wellbeing. Cats can help to combat loneliness and social isolation. With increasing proportions of people looking to rent long-term in the UK, either socially or privately, it is more important than ever for landlords to have positive, proactive pet policies that allow pets, including cats.
Microchipping of cats
Microchipping is a safe and permanent way to identify pet cats and can help reunite lost cats with their owners or provide closure in the tragic event of cats killed in road traffic accidents. While it is compulsory to microchip pet dogs, it is not compulsory to microchip pet cats.
Sentencing for crimes against cats
Cats are far too often the victims of cruelty including mistreatment, neglect and poisoning. Currently the maximum sentence for animal cruelty offences in England is six months, well below international standards. The Government has proposed increasing this to five years in its draft Animal Welfare Bill.
Snares and cats
Snares, thin wire nooses that are commonly used by landowners to catch foxes, rabbits and stoats, often catch cats, causing immense suffering. Snaring has been banned in most of Europe but is still legal in the UK.

Pedigree breeds without suffering
The basic design of the domestic cat is fundamentally sound. As da Vinci said, 'The smallest feline is a masterpiece.' It's a design that evolved through functionality – cats needed to hunt, kill prey, in turn avoid being killed by predators, reproduce and lead a vigorous athletic life.
New All-Party Parliamentary Group puts cat welfare on the political agenda
Cats are the topic of the day in Westminster following the launch of the first All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) dedicated to improving feline welfare.

ALLERGY RELIEF TREATMENTS COULD HELP WITH YOUR ALLERGY RELATED ILLNESS!
Illness are often related to other diseases resulting allergic reactions. Our doctors have compiled a list of ailments related to the topic of Allergies. These conditions may be a caused by allergies or many of the symptoms of condition for which you may be at increased risk. Many illnesses like Hay Fever, Lactose and Autism are often allergy related. Others like Asthma, IBS, Arthritis and so much more are as well. Treating allergies often benefits to these conditions.
at any age. The cause is not quite clear. Treatments often include antibiotics and hormone treatments. Cleanliness is very important and dermatologists can help. Anything that comes out through the skin whether it is boils, eczema, rashes or acne has to do with toxins that the body can't get rid of through the normal channels like the bladder and colon and therefore uses the skin, our largest organ. If food allergies are present, the liver has to work harder to detoxify what it thinks is a poison or at least a threat. This can start the vicious cycle of acne. Treating the allergies, cleaning up food habits (avoiding sugars, sugary foods and drinks, minimizing milk, wheat and processed foods), adding fresh fruits and veggies to the diet while keeping the skin clean is very effective in controlling acne for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
ADD-ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is typically a life-long problem and one of the most common childhood disorders in the United States. Children with ADD-ADHD often struggle with low self-esteem, difficult relationships, inadequate performance in school, focus/attention problems, difficulty controlling their behavior and hyperactivity.
ADD-ADHD is under-reported because children may sit quietly and may not be paying attention to what they are doing. The child can be over-looked by parents and teachers may not notice he or she has ADD-ADHD. Could allergies have an effect on your child's ADD-ADHD behavior? That is the word from doctors at Long Island College Hospital in New York City, who presented their findings at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in Denver.
One study involved 20 children between the ages of 5 and 18, all of whom had been diagnosed with ADD-ADHD. Only two had been evaluated for allergy problems, even though all had a family history of ADD-ADHD. The researchers screened the children for allergic rhinitis using a focused personal and family history but also blood and other types of allergy testing. They tested ADD-ADHD for mold, cockroaches, dogs, cats, feathers, ragweed, trees and grass and tested positive. Eight of the children (40 percent) were diagnosed with asthma or atopic dermatitis suffered with ADD-ADHD. Twenty-three percent with allergic rhinitis and sixty-nine percent had at least one positive allergy test. Fifteen of the 20 also had a history of at least two allergic symptoms and ADD-ADHD symptoms. Based on those findings, the researchers concluded a high percentage of children with ADD-ADHD may also harbor allergies.
The authors suggest all children diagnosed with ADHD should also be tested for seasonal and environmental allergies. Treatment might improve their overall behavior and symptoms of ADD-ADHD. Many parents will acknowledge too much soda and candy makes their kids bounce off the walls on a sugar high diet. What if a child's persistent hyperactivity was caused by tomatoes, eggs, gluten or some other seemingly innocuous food?
A Dutch study published found: In kids with ADD-ADHD found putting these kids on a restrictive diet to eliminate possible reactions. Previously unknown food allergies or sensitivities decreased hyperactivity for 64 percent of kids. It isn't the first time researchers have tried to link ADHD to things kids eat like as sugar, food dyes or other preservatives.
In a recent study pediatricians remain skeptical of a true connection between diet and hyperactivity disorders. A study published today in the Journal of Pediatrics says one type of pesticide commonly used on fruits and vegetables may be contributing to ADD-ADHD. Researchers took urine from over 1,000 participants ages 8 to 15 and analyzed it for pesticides. There were 119 of the children had symptoms of ADD-ADHD. Those with the highest concentration of pesticides were more likely to have the disorder, according to the study.
"It is consistent with other studies, pesticides have found exposure of children to in early life can cause brain injury. This study builds on those other studies," said Dr. Philip Landrigan, Chairman of the Department of Community and Preventive Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.
Clearly, a link between allergies and behavior problems can be drawn so if we are able to eliminate allergies from these children to help improve behavior. Concentration offer these kids a more normal life. All the aforementioned issues can be eliminated with Allergy Relief Treatments.
Arthritis can be one of the most debilitating conditions in the United States. Unfortunately, traditional treatments are limited and almost solely focused on anti-inflammatory medications. Not on eliminating the original trigger of this inflammation. The word arthritis simply means joint inflammation. There are basically two types: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is inflammation caused by degeneration of the joint and is due to chronic wear and tear. Osteoarthritis is most commonly found in the knees.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a more common term for inflammation, pain, and swelling of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is often seen in the hands. It can affect just about any part in the body. Rheumatoid arthritis is considered by an autoimmune condition of unknown cause. This belief ignores a large volume of scientific evidence pointing to food allergies as a major cause of arthritis. The correlation between arthritis and allergies is found to be quite significant.
Dr. Theron G. Randolph of Illinois was the founder of environmental medicine. In over 1000 patients he treated over the course of his research, he tested over 1000 arthritis patients with commonly eaten foods and chemical substances. He tested substances ranging from natural gas and auto exhaust. Paints, perfume, hair spray, insecticides, tobacco and smoke were also tested to find out which of these substances caused their symptoms.
Most studies have focused on antibodies (proteins that attack and destroy foreign substances) in the blood. Food-related antibodies may show up in the gut – rather than the blood. Different with people with RA were just where researchers at the University of Oslo, Norway, looked.
They found that, in test tubes at least, the intestinal fluid of people with RA had higher levels of antibodies to proteins from cow's milk, cereal, hen's eggs, codfish and pork than of people without RA.
"The gut is the first site of exposure to food, and the immune system in the gut is the first to recognize potential allergens," says Jonathan Brostoff, DM, professor of allergy and environmental health at Kings College London. Food allergies occur when your immune system mistakenly believes that something you ate is harmful. To protect you, the immune system produces immunoglobulin E – also called IgE antibodies – against that food. The antibodies set off a chain reaction that causes symptoms. In some people, the antibodies and proteins bind together and form immune complexes in the intestine.
These immune complexes then circulate and get into every nook and cranny of the body, including the joints, where they may contribute to inflammation, says Dr. Brostoff.
Once antibodies are made against a particular food, the body instantly recognizes that food the next time it is consumed. The cycle begins again. Studies have shown many foods, food additives and foreign invaders. Like protozoa, bacteria, yeast and fungus can trigger or aggravate arthritic symptoms. In the case of food allergies, eating too much of a certain food too often is another problem.
In addition, Dr. Marshall Mandell, the author of, Dr. Mandell's Allergy-Free Cookbook, tested over 6000 patients. He found foods, chemicals, grasses, pollen, molds and other airborne substances caused allergic reactions in the joints of nearly 85% of arthritics he tested.
The medical community has focused almost solely on treating arthritis with anti-inflammatory medications, either prescription or over-the-counter. These medications only offer temporary relief of the pain and swelling, but they never cure arthritis. Over the long term this type of treatment also comes with a host of side-effects.
Anything that triggers an immune response also triggers inflammation. This includes allergies, foods that are incorrectly identified by the immune system as not belonging in the body. Therefore an allergic reaction to a food can result in inflammation of the joints and pain. The body can be allergic to any food, therefore any food allergy is capable of causing inflammation and arthritis. This includes RA, juvenile arthritis and undefined joint pains. This is why it can be so difficult for one to recognize the relationship between their diet and their symptoms. Many times, there is a delay between eating the suspect food and the associated pain.
If we can reverse the faulty programming and replace it with a program that does not create inflammation, the pain will reduce and in many cases go away completely. There is now a home treatment program called The Natural Health Relief Strategies is your best option to eliminate the pain of RA.
There are different types of asthma. People who are diagnosed as children tend to experience different symptoms than those who are diagnosed as adults. Some is very likely linked to allergies. In some women asthma can be affected by changes in hormones. The main symptoms are shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness and coughing. Other conditions can have these symptoms as well, so it is important to consult an asthma specialist to receive a proper diagnosis. The Natural Health Relief Strategies treatment stops the asthma attack in it's tracks more often than not. Many times stress seems to trigger asthma attacks. When allergies and asthma are combined, the results can be deadly. Clearing all your allergens can help you to breathe easier and have less episodes.
The Natural Health Relief Strategies use natural allergy remedies. Allergy Elimination can make a huge difference if you have both. The combination can put a tremendous burden on the body and the immune system adding undue stress. The combination can increase the frequency and strength of allergy attacks. The typical attack involves the restriction of the air passage as a response to an allergen. When stress is added, the response is magnified tremendously.
Autism, better known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a mental condition, present from early childhood. Characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships. Social interaction can be difficult with other people and in using language and abstract concepts. In 2000, the incidence of autism was estimated to be one in 150 children. Two years later, 1 in 125. In 2006, data from the CDC showed the incidence rose to 1 in 110 and in 2008, 1 in 88. Most alarming for boys as 1 in 54 and outnumber girls 5-to-1.
It is believed genetic factors are the main cause of autism but new information suggests food allergies and allergies to environmental toxins can also contribute. The good news is we can positively influence these children's lives by desensitizing them to these allergies so they can lead a more normal life.
Autistic children are allergic to many, if not most of the basic foods. This is particularly gluten and casein type foods. These allergies make difficult the immune system's protection process and magnify the autism tendencies by creating imbalances in the brain.
These imbalances increase the inflammatory-causing chemical signals coming from white blood cells or cytokines. It's felt these chemicals (cytokines) may be responsible for inflammation and neurological issues casing ASD symptoms.
Blood cells from autistic children were cultured with various foods in a lab. Various inflammatory responses are a broad and loose category of small proteins were measured. These proteins from the autistic children were much higher than those from normal (non-autistic) children after being exposed to gluten or casein.
A study by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, medical director recently conducted a study revealing.
Click here to see the complete study.
This elimination process used in the study is called NAET but I utilize AllergyKit Allergy Elimination, a process that uses energy medicine to eliminate allergy and allergy symptoms. It is based on retraining the body to react positively to the allergen rather than creating an allergic response. Sixty children between the age of 2-10 years with autism were randomly assigned to treatment or control groups. Half received this treatment and the other did not. The treatment included 50 key allergens and took a year to complete. Both NAET and the Allergy Kit protocol of Allergy Relief Treatments are based on acupressure techniques. The Allergy Kit treatment is similar but more affordable and no abstinence is required. You can also complete the treatments faster as only about 20 treatments are required. You still get most all the treatments but our treatment is done much faster combining more nutrients.
The results were remarkable. One patient, a 3.5-year-old male autistic child was described as nervous, irritable, paying no attention to his surroundings. At times aggressive and pinching other students in his "special needs" preschool. He was unable to use two words at a time, and his teacher described him as unable to communicate verbally. He called almost everyone "Mama." After desensitization to egg mix, he began to speak more and then became very calm after desensitization to the sugar mix. After he received desensitization treatments for approximately ten of the 50 allergen groups, he began speaking in short sentences.
After 6 months of treatment, he became toilet trained and qualified to receive speech therapy at school. He had previously been ineligible for this support because of limited speaking ability. His parents felt that he became much more normal for his age after being desensitized to vaccines. He later told us he had a "best friend" at school. The ranking catagory droped for Autism small dropped from 26 to ) having no ASA tendencies.
Teitelbaum stated, 23 out of the 30 autistic children who were treated were back in regular school by the end of the treatment period. As opposed to none of the 30 children who had not received treatment. "If I was a parent with a child with autism, my child would be getting treatment now," Teitelbaum said.
Izabel Testimonial from Louise O.
The following week Belle was talking up a storm and most of her sentences contain more than 4 words and lots of full sentences coming from her too. I let Belle talk and chatter her on now. I have been waiting on these conversations for 14 years. Belle actually has of conversations regularly. 12-19-2016 In the beginning when Cathi would ask "How she is?" How was school? Belle always gives a response of "Good." Cathi would keep asking questions but Belle was silent after that. This week Cathi asked the additional questions and she got short responses to each one. As a voluntarily utterance she told Cathi something about the cartoon she was watching and it was a in full sentence. Cathi and I looked at each other both surprised. 12-19-2016 Belle also continues to be much calmer most all the time. The school also sent a note home stating Belle's eating style has changed, she used to shovel food in as fast as possible and she always finished her snacks. Cathi had been using the Brain – Body –Balancing (BBB) vial and this change came after using this treatment. Cathi has seen changes in appetite using this vial with other clients. Cathi believes this vial rebalances the hippocampus, which changes the appetite. The school stated Belle now eats very slowly and does not even eat all her snacks. We cannot wait to see what else may happen next. Belle seems happier being able to communicate better.

The Natural Health Relief Strategies treatment can eliminate eczema in less than 2 weeks by eliminating the allergies are causing the eczema in the first place. Our allergy treatment is the most effective home treatment for scratching and itching. Sufferers know just how hard it is to feel comfortable in public while suffering from dry, itchy, blistering skin.
Eczema is an affliction that most sufferers would give just about anything to cure. Not only because of the physical discomfort but the social discomfort as well. Eczema or sometimes spelled "Exzema" is especially troublesome for young children who can't easily control their need to scratch. For all who suffer, The Natural Health Relief Strategies natural allergy treatment can achieve wonders.
It is interesting to note that "Eczema" is not a rash itches. It is an itch and when scratched, results in a rash. Therefore, if the itching can be controlled and there is no scratching, there will be no eczema. The resulting rash appears red, with small blisters or bumps that may ooze or flake with further scratching.
Over the long-term the skin appears thickened and leathery. The itching can be caused by irritants, infections, stress and allergies. Food allergies are often triggers as well as animal dander, dust mites, pollens and mold spores. Irritants would include harsh soaps, chemicals, wool fabrics, heat and sweating. Creams and oil-based creams are usually prescribed for eczema along with instructions to avoid irritants. Foods causing a reaction and other environmental allergens can also cause a flare up.
Treat allergies with The Natural Health Relief Strategies Eczema allergy treatment reprograms the immune system to respond normally rather than create an allergic response. After your allergies are eliminated, your skin will heal and Relief will be provided.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition causing pain, stiffness and tenderness of the muscles and joints. There is also general fatigue, sleep disturbances, digestive problems, numbness and tingling. It affects 2-4 percent of the of the female population. Males can have Fibromyalgia but it is less common. Most people suffering from this disease feel tired upon awakening, fatigued and are depressed and anxious. Digestion problems are also an issue related to this illness.
The most common areas of pain are the neck, back, shoulders, pelvic area and hands. Patients experience a range of symptoms of varying intensities come and go. They can include problems with memory and foggy thinking. No one knows the cause. Anyone can get it, but it is most common in middle-aged women. Medical science does not know what causes Fibromyalgia or how to eliminate it. They only treat the symptoms and take a wait and see approach.
People with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases are particularly likely to develop this disease.
There is no conventional cure. Alternative treatments are much more successful in treating this debilitating condition. There is no body damage accompanying the condition. Unlike other autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, the body is not damaged. Therefore, when the condition is reversed, you will be out of pain and able to do all the things you were able to do before.
Our belief is this is an autoimmune disorder due to allergies. Allergies can cause a chemical imbalance in you body dealing with allergic responses from the immune system. Chemical signals sent to the muscles of the body are interferes with these allergic reactions.
The immune system becomes overworked and weak due to allergies and other factors. This imbalance disrupts the normal functioning of the body. Until allergies are addressed. Fibromyalgia will continue. Strengthening the immune system is your first step in dealing with this debilitating condition and we can do this with our RELIEF treatments.
The Natural Health Relief Strategies changes the way the body interacts with foods and other allergens. By reprogramming the body "not to react" to the suspect food and in the process is improved. We have seen dramatic results when allergies are reduced. Nutrition is another important factor in eliminating Fibromyalgia. Until the body can absorb the nutrients properly and better heath can be achieved.
GERD is usually caused by changes in the barrier between the stomach and the esophagus, including abnormal relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Normally holds the top of the stomach closed, impaired expulsion of gastric reflux from the esophagus, or a hiatal hernia. These changes may be permanent or temporary.
The symptoms can be abject misery: debilitating stomach cramps, searing abdominal pain, an excruciating, rising burn, acid-filled hiccups, constant sleep disturbance, tightened throat, and even the rare but terrifying bouts of choking from nighttime acid inhalation. I'm talking of course about acid reflux or GERD as it's commonly called these days.
Statistics suggest that 25-30% of American adults experience GERD related heartburn multiple times a week. Of all the pharmaceutical categories, proton pump inhibitors (a predominant prescription for GERD) have ranked consistently in the top twenty for years. And that doesn't even take into account the old-fashioned antacids like Tums and Rolaids that people pop like candy. What, for the love, is going on here? It used to be heartburn was generally confined to women in their last months of pregnancy or to the annual Thanksgiving overindulgence. It certainly wasn't a chronic condition plaguing a large percentage of the population. I sense a familiar pattern here, no?
The standard explanation for GERD goes like this. When someone suffers from a bout of heartburn, acid in the stomach essentially rises into the esophagus following a spontaneous lapse of the lower esophageal sphincter. Although the stomach lining can inherently withstand the caustic digestive acid, the esophagus has no such protection. The result of the chemical invasion is the characteristic pain and cramping those with reflux experience.
GERD is an excessive production of stomach acid. GERD sufferers are advised to steer clear of common "trigger" foods like chocolate, alcohol, mint, citrus, tomatoes, onions, and spicy dishes, and (drum roll, please) fatty foods because they contribute to what's known as slow stomach emptying, which can make GERD symptoms feel worse.
Take an HCl or other digestive enzyme supplement for at least a few weeks if not months (if your reflux is bad).
Try old-fashioned bitters (remember those?) with or after each meal which can encourage better digestion.
Repopulate your system with healthy bacteria with hefty probiotics (e.g. Primal Flora) and frequent fermented foods.
Up your intake of anti-inflammatory omega-3's.
When you are having an allergic reaction, all kinds of chemical unnatural overreactions are happening. I know a number of people who've felt utterly wrecked by their long-term battles with GERD. I've heard stories from folks (on medication, yes) who said they would get a bad bout of GERD and be in agony for days unable to eat anything, unable to sleep or even find a comfortable position. When they were finally able to lick the condition, they felt they finally got their lives back.
Natural Health Relief Strategies stops the body from reacting negatively to the allergen and when this happens the body restores the normal functioning of the digestive tract and the GERD disappears like magic. No drugs and no more discomfort. Solutions that were almost impossible just a few years ago are now commonplace. Once your allergies are eliminated, everything works better. Put your disbelief aside and get your life back.
Medical professionals say that there is no effective Gluten allergy treatment. On this particular point, they are wrong. They never heard of The Natural Health Relief Strategies. The Natural Health Relief Strategies using natural allergy remedies, energy medicine, a cold laser to vials to treat and eliminate the allergy symptoms by reprogramming the immune system to act normally to wheat and gluten.
Symptoms include bloating, abdominal discomfort or pain and diarrhea. Might present intestinal symptoms including muscular disturbances, bone or joint pain. Contains a protein found in the grains wheat, rye and barley. For individuals suffering from intolerance, including both Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, the protein is attacked by the immune system as a toxin. This "attack" can result in extensive damage to the body, creating symptoms that affect digestion, mood, heart, liver, thyroid, reproduction, brain function, muscles and joints. All told there are hundreds of symptoms and diseases associated with gluten.
That's when gluten actually triggers the body's immune system. When people with celiac disease eat foods or use products containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the villi — tiny, fingerlike projections in the small intestine that absorb the nutrients from food. For this reason it's considered an autoimmune disease.
Celiac disease is linked to malnutrition that can lead to anemia, osteoporosis, depression, behavioral problems, and stunted growth in children, among other problems. People who have celiac disease may also have other autoimmune conditions, such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
If you have either Celiac disease or intolerance, have wheat allergy symptoms, a solution is now available. This can eliminate the symptoms and therefore allow the gut to heal. The Natural Health Relief Strategies wheat allergy treatment allows you to eat bread, pasta, cakes and pizza with no negative side affects. Imagine not having to watch what you eat and just enjoy life again.
HayFever is one of the most common allergies of all. The Natural Health Relief Strategies Hayfever treatment retrains the immune system using natural allergy remedies. It eliminates the allergy symptoms from pollens with an easy, fast, effective treatment that you can do at home. Many people associate this type of allergy primarily with outdoor exposure to pollen. Significant levels of pollen can be found inside causing Hayfever to flare.
Because pollen is wind-borne; they will blow indoors and trigger allergic reactions for many.
Sneezing is the most common allergy symptom and may be accompanied by a runny or stuffed up nose.
Itching eyes, nose and throat.
Dark circles under the eyes caused by restricted blood flow near the sinuses can be caused by allergies.
Plants produce microscopic round or oval pollen grains to reproduce Hayfever reactions. In some species, the plant uses the pollen from its own flowers to fertilize itself. Other types must be cross-pollinated; that is, in order for fertilization to take place and seeds to form, pollen must be transferred from the flower of one plant to that of another plant of the same species. Insects do this job for certain flowering plants, while other plants rely on wind transport.
The types of pollen that most commonly cause Hay fever allergic reactions are produced by the plain-looking plants (trees, grasses, and weeds) do not have showy flowers. These plants manufacture small, light, dry pollen granules that are custom-made for wind transport. Samples of ragweed pollen have been collected 400 miles out at sea and two miles high in the air. Because airborne pollen is carried for long distances, it does little good to rid an area of an offending plant–the pollen can drift in from many miles away. In addition, most allergenic pollen comes from plants that produce it in huge quantities. A single ragweed plant can generate a million grains of pollen a day.
It is almost impossible to avoid this pollen. They are everywhere. For this reason, the best approach is to retrain the immune system to ignore the usual reaction and have no reaction like most other people. The Natural Health Relief Strategies' Hayfever treatment does just that. It erases the allergy symptoms by balancing the acupuncture meridians in the presence of the allergen. In this way, the allergy is eliminated and you will be able to breathe better during any season.
Don't think you're alone. Irritable bowel syndrome is the most common disorder seen by primary care practitioners. Many times, this disease hides under such diagnosis as spastic colon, mucous colitis, nervous stomach and irritable colon and causes the normal functioning of the intestines, stomach, the nerves, and the whole intestinal tract to be impaired. Even though the patient is in incredible pain, discomfort, diarrhea and constipation, the tests that doctors perform show nothing.
There likely is an association between Irritable bowel syndrome and allergies, especially pollen and food allergies. People with irritable bowel syndrome have been found to have more mast cells within their intestines, which may be acting to cause symptoms when exposed to certain food and pollen allergens. Many people are adamant certain foods trigger their symptoms. This certainly is reasonable. We know that there are associations between food allergies and gastrointestinal disorders.
It makes sense. If we eliminate the allergies that are affecting the digestive tract, health can be restored. The intestines, when not creating the allergic response, will react properly to the foods eaten and the digestive symptoms simply disappear.
The Natural Health Relief Strategies can stop allergies, the cause of irritable bowel syndrome and has been very successful in eliminating the allergic response that can trigger symptoms. It is not completely clear, but researchers have suggested that mast cells within the intestines cause irritable bowel syndrome symptoms when activated by allergens, such as certain foods and pollens.
Lactose intolerance is a condition in which people have digestive symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, and gas after eating or drinking milk or milk products. Symptoms can range from some mild discomfort to severe, depending on how much lactase they produce and the extent of their consumption of milk and other dairy products.
Until now, lactose intolerance treatment protocols have fallen short in delivering fast lasting results and in negating the negative effects from milk and milk products. The Natural Health Relief Strategies natural allergy treatments stops the bodies negative reaction to milk and milk products using energy medicine that has been proven to work by treating thousands of patients and getting results that, as some have said, is a miracle.
Lactose intolerance is caused by the bodies allergic reaction to the sugar in milk and is caused by an enzyme deficiency produced in the cells lining. The small intestine then breaks down lactose into less allergic substances, glucose and galactose. Most people with lactose intolerance simply avoid milk and milk products. The bigger problem is you're never sure when you'll come in contact with a milk byproduct. Checking labels or asking restaurants can be stressful and can add to the problem.
Flatulence – a buildup of excessive gas in the intestinal tract; this can lead to farting.
Diarrhea – an hour or two after consuming lactose the individual can suddenly become desperate to go to the toilet.
Symptoms occur 30 minutes to 2 hours after consuming milk or milk products. Symptoms range from mild to severe based on the amount of lactose the person ate or drank and the amount a person can tolerate. People sometimes confuse lactose intolerance with a milk allergy. While lactose intolerance is a digestive system disorder, a milk allergy is a reaction by the body's immune system to one or more milk proteins. An allergic reaction to milk can be life threatening even if the person eats or drinks only a small amount of milk or milk product. A milk allergy most commonly occurs in the first year of life, while lactose intolerance occurs more often during adolescence or adulthood.
Milk is not produced the way it used to be. The body just doesn't recognize milk as milk anymore. It thinks it might be harmful to the body and creates an allergic reaction to it. Why does that happen? The milk has changed – No wonder there is lactose intolerance. The milk structurally changes. Looks the same, but at the molecular level, it is different. What next.
Milk is pasteurized (boiled) to protect us, but the process totally changes the molecular structure of the milk. It's obvious because milk has to be fortified and enriched. What happened to 'milk does the body good.' You see it on the carton. Fortified with vitamin A and D. Are these vitamins natural, can we absorb them and why are they necessary. We know, that boiling anything diminishes the nutrient value. Why would milk be any different?
Is this the milk that our ancestors drank, or even our grandparents? Heck no. And it's no wonder that our immune system treats this substance (that used to be milk) like an intruder to the system. Remember, profit is the bottom line in big business, so when it comes to the type of feed they use, cheaper is better. Most feed that livestock eat are grown using chemical fertilizers and insecticides and most animals are fed only one type of feed and not allowed to graze as they were intended.
Many feeds are GMO (gene modified organisms), the DNA is altered. Scientists manipulate the genes of the grains for faster growing, stronger resistance to bugs, etc. But if the bugs won't eat it, can it really be good for the cows or us? With higher demands on production, hormones and other chemicals are added to the animals diet, for profit, to get more milk production from the same cow. When this approach is misused, animal health becomes an issue. Also, stress from the livestock's poor living conditions lowers the animals immune system and antibiotics are introduced to keep them healthy and make them produce more milk while being under stress and under poor living conditions.
Vial 1's lactose intolerance treatment reprograms the immune system and eliminates the allergic reaction altogether. This allergy treatment allows the gut to digest the lactose and not have a reaction and the gut can start the process of healing. Results usually are immediate even though the process of healing can go on for weeks or months. The best part is that the allergy goes away altogether and so do the symptoms.
Besides lactose, many people are allergic to the milk itself. But not to worry. Vial 1 treats, milk, cheese, chicken and egg, and vitamin C, the cause of lactose intolerance. Natural Health Relief Strategies' natural allergy treatment stops the bodies negative reaction to milk and milk products using energy medicine that has been proven to work by treating thousands of patients and getting results that, as some have said, is a miracle.
Natural Health Relief Strategies' lactose intolerance treatment treats all these probable causative factors that could be causing allergic reactions. By addressing all of these problems, not just the lactose intolerance, you can be assured that milk can become a part of your diet again without the ill affects.
Imagine drinking milk again, eating ice cream, cookies and milk chocolate, etc. with no ill affects. Forget avoidance. Have it any time you want and feel great, with no bloating, gas or side affects.t of your diet again without the ill affects.
Leaky Gut Syndrome or LGS is a medical term that means the intestinal lining of the digestive tract has become too porous and allows small food particles to enter the bloodstream which triggers an allergic and chemical response. Since LGS can cause allergies and allergies can cause LGS, both problems have to be treated simultaneously.
The stomach breaks down the food so that the energy in it can be absorbed. And the gut acts as a filtering system to separate the waste from the vitamins, enzymes, minerals and nutrients and allows this nutrition to enter the bloodstream through very small holes in the gut. When these holes get too large, because of allergies and poor digestion, food particles, bacteria and waste material enters the bloodstream.
This predigested food doesn't belong in the bloodstream and causes the the immune system to react and create an allergic reaction. This reaction will begin to produce antibodies designed to fight against these foreign objects (which can be things such as the Casein protein from the milk you're drinking, or other proteins in nuts, grains, or eggs). Even chemicals normally found in foods such as Phenols and Glycerin can now trigger immune responses when they enter the body.
The immediate reaction to these undigested food particles is an immune response. Your liver has to work overtime to filter out all these particles that your gut was supposed to filter out. In most cases, the liver doesn't have a chance to keep up with this steady stream of waste into your blood and all the toxins, undigested food particles, yeast and other pathogens start to accumulate in your body.
This triggers the immune system to pitch in and go full out to rectify the problem. Many of the foreign bodies that slipped by, are absorbed into the tissues throughout the body, causing inflammation. Inflammation is also an immune response and causes even more stress on your system. Now that your body is focused on fighting the large war, the little battles are starting to be ignored, like filtering out the blood, calming inflamed areas of the body, fighting bacteria, regulating the gut, and the absorption of nutrition. This process flow can lead to your body fighting itself and an array of autoimmune diseases, besides malabsorption of the foods that are causing the problem in the first place.
Digestive Enzymes are helpful with leaky gut because they address several aspects. Digestive enzymes break down the food particles before they hit the gut and are small enough for the blood to absorb without triggering an immune response. What is nice about digestive enzymes is they can help both a leaky gut and malabsorption at the same time.
Probiotics are another method to help in the digestion and breakdown of the foods and create the proper balance among the bacteria, yeast and microorganisms.
Oats have also been found to be beneficial in repairing the gut.
Predigested Fish Protein can help repair the gut because the proteins are easily digested and available for immediate use without irritating the gut.
While you're repairing the gut, it is beneficial to eliminate your allergies so that they don't add to the problem. Allergies disrupt the digestive tract by causing an overabundance of stomach acids. Other times, foods will rot and putrefy in the gut because your body is allergic to them.

Temperature Dependence of Magnetization and Induced Magnetic Anisotropy of Some Fe, Co and Ni-Based Amorphous Ribbons
Department of Physics (Ph.)
Sikder, Shibendra Shekher
Publisher: Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh
Ferromagnetic amorphous ribbons of Fe-Si-B, Ni-Fe-B and Co-Fe-B-Si series have been prepared by rapid quenching technique and the amorphousity of the samples has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique. The kinetics of glass formation and crystallization as affected by a slight change in composition is studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA). It is observed that the thermodynamics of the amorphous ribbons in respect of the formation of glassy state and its stability is affected by the complexity of the composition. The magnetic ordering of Fe-based, Ni-based and Co-based amorphous ribbons is studied by measuring A.C. and D.C. magnetization as functions of temperature. D.C. measurements are made by using a vibrating sample magnetometer and A.C. initial permeability is measured, using a furnace in which the heating wire is wound in accordance with the bifiller technique. Coercivity, remanence, saturation magnetization and maximum permeability have been determined as static magnetic properties for Fe-based, Ni-based and Co-based specimens from the hysteresis loops obtained by Ballistic method. The dynamic characteristic such as the real and imaginary components of the complex permeability in A.C. conditions have been measured as a function of the instantaneous value of a sine wave core current density by means of an adapted LCR bridge method. Initial permeability, frequency dependence of complex permeability and relative quality factor have been measured in the frequency range 0.5KHz to 13MHz for all the different compositions and for annealing effect of initial permeability. The measurements of saturation specific magnetization of Fe-based, Ni-based and Co-based amorphous ribbons have been measured by V.S.M. We have correlated the behaviour of magnetic moment in amorphous alloys containing 3d transition metals on the basis of rigid band model, assuming that the metalloid atoms contribute some of their S electrons and P electrons to fill the d band of the transition metal. This accounts for the reduction of magnetization of all the amorphous ribbons with increasing metalloid content. The temperature dependence of magnetization, of amorphous system decreases faster with increasing temperature as compared to crystalline materials. According to the mean field approximation, reduced magnetization versus reduced temperature graphs for different Fe-based, Ni-based and Co-based amorphous ribbons leads to fluctuation in the exchange interaction giving rise to a structural disorder. Induced magnetic anisotropy of amorphous ribbons having Fe-based, Ni-based and Co-based system have been measured for temperature and field dependence using torque magnetometer with proportional integrating differentiating compensation. The results of compositional dependence of initial permeability, coercive force and induced anisotropy are found to be mutually consistent for all the samples. The origin the uniaxial anisotropy in these amorphous materials is assumed to be the stress, induced during the preparation. The temperature dependence of uniaxial anisotropy is caused by stress, relieving and decreases with the increase of temperature. The corresponding curves of In [Ku(0)/ Ku(T)] versus In [σs(0)/ σs(T)] in amorphous ribbons with Fe-based, Ni-based and Co-based system follow straight lines arising from the disorder caused by randomly oriented easy axes. The values of the exponents are different for the different samples. All amorphous ribbons have been investigated using Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Mossbauer measurements were performed with a conventional constant acceleration spectrometer at room temperature in transmission geometry, using 57Co in a rhodium matrix. The velocity scale of a thin 57Fe sample and the isomer shifts are given relative to the centroid of the spectrum. The isomer shifts of Fe-atoms in all the Fe, Ni and Co-based samples behave as trivalent ions. The spectrum for the as prepared samples consists of six lines which are broadened as compered with the Mössbauer spectrum of a pure 57Fe sample in the form of a thin foil. The curve for the experimental spectrum is obtained by using the best fit of the distribution of hyperfine fields. The consistency between the average magnetization measured by V.S.M. and the magnetic moment of the Fe-atom as estimated from the hyperfine field distribution confirms the collinearity of the magnetic ordering of the sample.

Home / BBC NEWS / Auckland International: Serena Williams hammers Amanda Anisimova to reach final
Serena Williams is searching for her first singles title since the 2017 Australian Open
Serena Williams thrashed fellow American Amanda Anisimova in just 43 minutes to reach the final of the Auckland International.
The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, searching for her first title since the 2017 Australian Open, hammered the 18-year-old 6-1 6-1.
Williams, 38, will face Jessica Pegula in the final after the unseeded American overcame Williams' doubles partner Caroline Wozniacki.
Pegula beat the Dane 3-6 6-4 6-0.
Williams will feature in two finals in one day when she and Wozniacki play in the doubles final on Sunday.
Should the American win either, it will be her first title since becoming a mother.
She played aggressively against 2019 French Open semi-finalist Anisimova, hitting five aces, converting all five of her break points and winning 77% of first serves.
"I knew I was playing a really great player and an even better person and I knew I had to come out serious," Williams said.
"My daughter's only two – I tend to be really hard on myself but considering everything, I'm doing pretty good."

Justice Ginsburg Predicts Gay Marriage Question Headed To High Court
By Eyder Peralta
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made a bit of news during an appearance at the University of Colorado, yesterday. When she was asked a question about the issue of gay marriage, she smiled and declined to answer, the AP reports. She said the issue is likely to come up before the court, so she couldn't adress it.
"I think it's most likely that we will have that issue before the court toward the end of the current term," she said.
In a lot of ways this doesn't come as a huge surprise. As the AP notes, the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman, was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996.
Since then it's been challenged and declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in New York. Right now, it is "awaiting arguments before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Those oral arguments are scheduled for Sept. 27."
