People are becoming increasingly concerned about the poor quality of air that they breathe within office buildings, motor vehicles, and even their own homes. In fact, the EPA notes that levels of air pollutants indoors are typically many times that of outside air, even in smoggy cities. Not only are we exposed to toxic fumes produced by synthetic carpets, electronics and paints, but a sizable portion of the air molecules are positively charged (meaning that they lack an electron). These so-called "positive ions" have been shown to cause stress, headaches, lethargy, and temporary depression.Their chemical opposites -- termed "negative ions" - neutralize positive ions, and thus help to clean the air and reduce those health problems. Moreover, frequent exposure to the negative ions can dramatically increase an individual's energy, mental alertness, and overall sense of well-being. For many years, people suffering from asthma and other symptoms have gained tremendous relief from underground asthma treatment (speleotherapy) in salt mines, where negative ions are plentiful.The most convenient and environmentally friendly way to feel these healthy ions is to take a walk in the park, in the woods or to the sea. Wearing natural fibers and sitting away from the computer as much as possible. To add these healthy ions to your own environment, is to use natural crystal salts, including those that have been crafted into lamps, which generate even more negative ions as a result of the light and heat exposure.The beautiful crystalline structure of ancient salt deposits is a result of their constituent minerals drying under intense pressure, not unlike diamonds. But salt crystals are far more colorful, ranging from light shades of pink, yellow, and orange, to the more intense hues of dark red, deep blues and lavenders. Not only do people find the light of natural salt lamps to be quite soothing, but the negative ions given off by the lamps are the same wonderful ions we smell in the air after a thunderstorm. These ions have a refreshing and energizing effect, helping to purify the air and thereby benefit the people and pets breathing that air.These types of lamps are being used worldwide in holistic spas and medical treatment centers. The most common types of disorders treated are breathing problems, such as asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and various allergies.The very best salt crystals are those that are mined in an ecologically responsible manner, and crafted by dedicated artisans into attractive and safe lamps that can be used indefinitely. Such lamps have been tested and verified to release ions, even when not lit. They produce the same wonderful ions that we feel after a thunderstorm and when standing close to a natural waterfall. Even though the crystal salts and ions themselves are odorless, people can really feel the difference breathing the energized air. These lamps are a natural alternative to man made machines and offer a radiant and healthy light that can be used in every room of the house and office safely. 2004 2005 www.natural-salt-lamps.comMake an investment today in improving your health and your personal environment.

How To Use Clenbuterol
Author: Mark Henry
Source: articledashboard.com
Clenbuterol is a widely used bronchodilator in many parts of the world. Clenbuterol is a very interesting and remarkable compound. Clenbuterol is not a steroid hormone but a beta-2-symphatomimetic. The drug is most often prepared in 20mcg tablets, but it is also available in syrup and injectable form. Clenbuterol belongs to a broad group of drugs knows as sympathomimetics. These drugs affect that sympathetic nervous system in a wide number of ways, largely mediated by the distribution of adrenoceptors. There are actually nine different types of these receptors in the body, which are classified as either alpha or beta and further subcategorized by type number. Depending on the specific affinities of these agents for the various receptors, they can potentially be used in the treatment of conditions such as asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular shock, arrhythmias, migraine headaches and anaphylactic shock. The text Goodman and Gillman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics Edition does a good job of describing the diverse nature in which these drugs affect the body. Clenbuterol, above all, has a strong anticatabolic effect, which means it decreases the rate at which protein is reduced in the muscle cell, consequently causing an enlargement of muscle cells. Most of the actions of catecholamines and sympathomimetic agents can be classified into seven broad types: (1) peripheral excitatory action on certain types of smooth muscles such as those in blood vessels supplying the skin, kidney, and mucous membranes, and on the gland cells, such as those of the salivary and sweat glands; (2) a peripheral inhibitory action on certain other types of smooth muscle, such as those in the wall of the gut, in the bronchial tree, and in blood vessels supplying skeletal muscle; (3) a cardiac excitatory action, responsible for in increase in heart rate and force of contraction; (4) metabolic actions, such as an increase in the rate of glycogenolysis in liver and muscle and liberation of free fatty acids from adipose tissue; (5) endocrine actions, such as modulation of the secretion of insulin, rennin, and pituitary hormones; (6) CNS actions, such as respiratory stimulation and, with some of the drugs, an increase in wakefulness and psychomotor activity and a reduction in appetite; and (7) presynaptic actions that result in either inhibition or facilitation of the release of the neurotransmitters such as such as norepinephrine and acetylcholine." The drug clenbuterol is specifically a selective beta-2 sympathomimetic, primarily affecting only one of the three subsets of beta-receptors. Of particular interest is the fact that this drug has little beta-1 stimulating activity. Since beta-1 receptors are closely tied to the cardiac effects of these agents, this allows clenbuterol to reduce reversible airway obstruction (and effect of beta-2 stimulation) with much less cardiovascular side effects compared to nonselective beta agonists. Clinical studies with this drug show it is extremely effective as a bronchodilator, with a low level of user complaints and high patient compliance. Clenbuterol also exhibits an extremely long half-life in the body, which is measured to be approximately 34 hours. This makes steady blood levels easy to achieve, requiring only a single or twice daily dosing schedule at most. This of course makes it much easier for the patient to use, and may tie in to its high compliance rate. In spite that clenbuterol is available in a wide number of other countries however; this compound has never been approved for use in the United States. The fact that there are a number of similar, effective asthma medications already available in this country may have something to do with this, as a prospective drug firm would likely not find it a profitable enough product to warrant undergoing the expense of the FDA approval process. Regardless, foreign clenbuterol preparations are widely available on the U.S. black market. HOW TO USE CLENBUTEROL: Numerous athletes use Clenbuterol after steroid treatment to balance the resulting catabolic phase and thus obtain maximum strength and muscle mass. A further aspect of Clenbuterol is its distinct fatburning effect. Clenbuterol burns fat without dieting because it increases the body temperature slightly, forcing the body to burn fat for this process. Due to the higher body temperature Clenbuterol magnifies the effect of anabolic/androgenic steroids taken simultaneously CLENBUTEROL DOSAGE: Athletes usually take 100-140 mcg/day. For women 80-100 mcg/day are usually sufficient, It is important that the athlete begin by taking only one tablet on the first day and then increasing the dosage by one tablet each of the following days until the desired maximum dosage is reached. The compound is usually taken over a period of 8-10 weeks. Since Clenbuterol is not a hormone compound. It has no has no side effects typical of anabolic steroids. For this reason it is also liked by women. Side Effects of Arimidex: Possible side effects of Clenbuterol include restlessness, palpitations, tremor (involuntary trembling of fingers), headache, increased perspiration, insomnia, possible muscle spasms, increased blood pressure, and nausea. Note that these side effects are of a temporary nature and usually subside after 8-10 days, despite continuation of the product.

How To Beat And Control Asthma.
Author: Mike Hince
Source: articledashboard.com
After having my own Son who was a chronic Asthma suffer when he was younger, and having the knowledge just how bad this condition can be I understand what a constant battle to breathe it can be. It's almost as thou you want to breathe for them. In my Son's case the more he struggled to breathe, the more his temperature went up, which again caused other problems.Often we would have to rush him to Hospital to be given life saving treatment, so when I began to look into this subject it bought back many frightening memories. The hours my Wife and myself have spent waiting in Hospitals listening to every breath he took, and thankfully there was always great Doctor's and Hospital staff to help, and understand what you and our Son was going through.It was quite an eye opener as we tried different things to combat different allergies, as along with the Asthma came Eczema as well. We already new about Dust Mites from our local Doctor, and the vacuum cleaner was always out day and night. Many things were tried like Goat's Milk, and it almost seemed so frustrating as the more things you tried the worse things seemed to get.To a certain extent we were lucky that our local Doctor was a Chest Specialist, and he was always sympathetic to our Son's condition. We learnt a lot in those days, and I guess were still learning now although my Son is now an adult, and rarely suffers.Having an interest in Alternative Medicine I came across a website that kept me enthralled for quite some time. Now I have to say at this point that some Medical articles, or some Medical website's can be quite boring, but this one was a breath of fresh air. (No pun intended) It was written by a Lady by the name of Karen Beattie who like my own son had serious Asthma problems. She tells how with the aid of clinical trials she has learnt to overcome the effects of Asthma without the aid of drugs. Also she explains how the same report can help sufferers of Sinus and Allergies.All this helps her to lead a normal life, and also enables her to sleep better, and she claims that this will work with anyone who uses the report. I don't at this stage want to make this sound like an advert as Asthma is a serious thing, and should be treated with respect. Over the years you learn all sorts of information like that of my Father who also was a sufferer. We lived out in the country with a lot of land, and at a certain time of year a weed would grow which caused to severe attacks. Our job then as a family was to pull out or cut down this weed, and then burn as much as we could to alleviate his problems.For those who don't know anything about Asthma I'll give a brief description, although I have to say I'm no medical expert. In Asthma attacks the airways in the lungs are constricted which causes the sufferer to gasp for breath as most of the lungs are closed off for a normal air flow. Not having oxygen in the lungs tends to want to shut the body down. The attacks can be caused by all forms of allergies, and the most common is Dust Mites, or animals such as Cats or Dogs.From my own point of view it's nice to know that there are alternatives as I shudder to think about the amounts of drugs my Son has had to take.

Asthma and Allergies - Stopping Moisture From Entering Your Home From Cracks That Cause Toxic Mold
Author: Art Emiss
Source: ezinearticles.com
One of the biggest problems we find in our Environmental Inspections is poor quality maintenance of the exterior part of homes, condos or apartments. For instance, yesterday, we did an inspection of a house that was painted 3 years ago, it was a poor quality paint job also. There were approximately 59 cracks on the entire house that were allowing moisture to enter the house. This creates a serious problem especially in a hot and humid climate. Every time it rains, the crack separates a little more and allows moisture to enter the home and thus causes toxic mold.That is why it is important to monitor the exterior of your house for cracks. My own house, I inspect and repair all cracks every 6 months so it does not get out of hand. If you do not, black mold will eventually start forming on the interior walls behind the drywall. This is a given not a possibility. When we do our inspections, the first thing we do is walk the exterior looking for cracks, that way it makes it easier to find a wet wall on the interior of the house.If you are not a professional, it is important to determine the cause of the crack. This may be a job for a pro such as a licensed General Contractor. They can look and just tell you why the crack is there. Cracks can also form from water leaks that get under the stucco. If you want to repair your own masonry cracks, the following tips can be helpful in solving your problem. These tips are not set in stone, so if you encounter a problem, consult with a licensed General Contractor before continuing on with the work or repairing the cracks.1. Before you attempt to fix a crack in a masonry or stucco wall, look closely at the wall. Look above it for additional cracks especially if it looks like a moisture crack from above.2. If it is a moisture crack, you must find where the moisture is coming from. Then investigate and solve the reason for the water leak that will stop it. Remember that unless you treat the cause of the moisture, the repair will only be temporary and will return.3. Foundation cracks are not to be repaired by a homeowner. Example, a long crack along the lower area adjacent to the floor level. I found one the other day that was 20 feet long, recommended to the client they retain a Structural Engineer to look at the problem. This is an example of a more serious problem starting to happen.4. If you are planning on doing the crack repair yourself, use a chisel or a thin masonry grinder wheel to remove the mortar to a depth of 1/2 inch. It should be in outside in V-cut to get it to stick in crevice. Clean out the area, clean it and then wet the area. Let area dry a little before applying the new mortar. The area should be damp not wet. You can pick up the mortar at at Home Depot or Lowe's. When you mix it, use it before 15 minutes or it will crack on you. Do not apply in full Sun Light, only in shade.5. Trowel it on the crack (push it in the V-Cut crack) and let it dry. Keep area damp for 3 days to prevent cracking. If crack is over 3/8 inch, it should inspected by a professional. If you have never done this before, it might take a little practice. Let it dry overnight. Do not paint this area for thirty days till it cures. If you do not let the mortar cure, the paint might peel on you.In conclusion, moisture from cracks in masonry walls can cause toxic black mold that can affect people with Asthma and Allergies. If you do not know what you are doing, consult with a licensed General Contractor to determine the cause of the masonry cracks. A masonry crack on a lower wall can be a foundation crack and must be inspected by a Structural Engineer. If you are going to attempt to fix your own masonry cracks, do not use caulking. It is only a temporary fix. By using masonry mortar applied properly to a wall crack that has be prepared the right way, the repair will be permanent.If you have any questions, feel free to contact us or visit our website.

Why Do So Many People Seem To Have Allergies?
Author: Susan Yurek
Source: articleage.com
Allergies and asthma arise from loss of the body's natural resistance to allergens, often beginning with early exposure to secondary smoke, industrial chemicals and asbestos, and the incredibly intensive chemical farming and industrial treatment, of the foods we eat, and fabrics we wear and sleep on.Our ancestors did not suffer these maladies as pervasively as we do, because modern industry since WWII has chemically saturated everything: our homes, fabrics, foods, and air. For centuries, even as late as the 19th and early 20th centuries, organic cotton and natural woolens were taken for granted. What we now must label organic bedding, organic cotton and organic wool, were then simply called "blankets, sheets, cottons and woolens."Chemicals:Petrochemical based foams often contain VOC's (volatile organic compounds), which emit, or "off gas" over time into the air. Formaldehyde, a probable carcinogenic VOC, identified by the US EPA as a dangerous indoor pollutant, is found in most furniture (foam, fabric), pressed-wood products (plywood, chipboard), carpet glues and fabrics, including conventional, non organic bedding.Thus, your conventional mattress and sheets may be part of the problem. Replace them with a set of untreated organic cotton sheets (also called Green Cotton, or Brown Cotton). Now your body will at least rest on something bit a cleaner. Eventually, you should consider virgin wool-fill pillows, comforters and a mattress systems that use no petrochemicals. Replace foams and synthetics with organic wool, organic cotton or hemp. These natural fibers breathe better, and so do their owners.Dust Mite Wars:Doctors and organizations such as the United States EPA, and the American Lung Association, have identified dust mite allergens as the cause of asthma, coughing, congestion and other health problems, especially among children."...environmental control may be the single most important step to prevent the onset of acute asthma attacks.", writes Michael LeNoir, MD an Oakland California Adult Allergy Specialist.Many synthetic materials, and chemically processed down, feathers, polyfills and foams, provide marvelous nesting opportunities for dust mites. Wool fill organic bedding, on the other hand, actually repels dust mites, but may not be as cheap to produce.The stuffing in pillows and comforters can harbor dust mites, especially feathers and other supposed natural fillers. These materials tend to adsorb the moisture from your breath as you sleep, providing the perfect dust-mite habitat. Did you know you exhale around one pint of warm water vapor each night as you sleep? The perfect environment for dust mites!Dust-mites are actually tiny spiders that live in bedrooms, mattresses, carpets, furniture and bedding. Invisible to the human eye, they often live on shed skin, which comprises approx. 80% of common house dust. Dust mites need shed skin, moisture and warmth to survive. Dust mites leave microscopic droppings, which when airborne and inhaled, cause allergic reactions in many people.Until you can sensibly replace bedding with virgin wool-fill organic bedding and organic cotton fabrics, begin by washing your bedding in warm or hot water once or twice a week. (And watch out for phosphates in detergents!) You can also get serious, and place "barrier cloth" covers over your mattress and pillows, which do not allow mites into these items. Try to stay away from synthetics.What's up with wool? Is it an allergen? Everybody thinks they are allergic to wool. Some are allergic to Lanolin, but most are not, and are reacting instead to the harsh chemicals usually applied to wool clothing and bedding.The natural lanolin in wool repels dust-mites. Virgin wool is also a naturally resistant to water and odor. Most people find organic wool totally non-allergenic and softer than conventional wool, making it an ideal filler for bedding and pillows. Wool in organic bedding and pillows also breathes extremely well, keeping you cool in summer, warm in winter but never too hot!Remember too, happy organically raised sheep are a sustainable natural resource, as long as we care for them.Susan Fullen-Yurek is a freelance author and earth-friendly products entrepreneur with an e-commerce site, http://www.kushtush.com, featuring organic bedding with organically raised wool-fills, and organic cotton products.

(And watch out for phosphates in detergents!) You can also get serious, and place "barrier cloth" covers over your mattress and pillows, which do not allow mites into these items. Try to stay away from synthetics.What's up with wool? Is it an allergen? Everybody thinks they are allergic to wool. Some are allergic to Lanolin, but most are not, and are reacting instead to the harsh chemicals usually applied to wool clothing and bedding.The natural lanolin in wool repels dust-mites. Virgin wool is also a naturally resistant to water and odor. Most people find organic wool totally non-allergenic and softer than conventional wool, making it an ideal filler for bedding and pillows. Wool in organic bedding and pillows also breathes extremely well, keeping you cool in summer, warm in winter but never too hot!Remember too, happy organically raised sheep are a sustainable natural resource, as long as we care for them.Susan Fullen-Yurek is a freelance author and earth-friendly products entrepreneur with an e-commerce site, http://www.kushtush.com, featuring organic bedding with organically raised wool-fills, and organic cotton products.

This is primarily due to viruses. Parasites, fungi and bacteria could also be accountable to trigger this condition in a few cases.-Medications, medicines like the NSAIDs that is 'nonsteriod anti - inflammatory drugs' like the 'ibuprofen and aspirin' which are widely known can also lead to asthma. There is another medication called the 'beta - blockers' which is given in case of 'high blood pressure' is also known to cause asthma. -Allergens, like dust mites, fur or feathers of animals and pollen also causes asthma.-Presence of sulphites in food, sulphites is a natural substance which is found specific foods. It is also used as a preservative. A few foods and drinks with a high value of sulphite are shrimp, foods which are processed, wine and beer.-Irritants which are carried by the wind, like pollution in the atmosphere, smoke from the cigarette and fumes from chemicals also cause asthma.Before an asthma attack occurs there is an indication that is something occurs biologically known as inflammation.

There are many benefits to using air cleaners. Nowadays air cleaners are quite affordable and every home should have one particularly if you live in large cities where the pollution levels are quite bad.If you or your family members are suffering from allergies, an air cleaner is a necessity in your home. The reason being an air cleaner can help to remove allergens in the air by filtering and recycling the air thereby reducing the possibility of allergy attacks.If you are suffering from asthma or sinus problems, an air cleaner will really help you. An air cleaner will dramatically reduce the amount of dust and debris in the air. Other particles that irritate the lung are also removed thereby reducing the rate of asthma attacks. A doctor recommended this to me since he told me for asthmatic patients to reduce the chance of asthma attacks, I should get an air cleaner. Really, if you considered the small price you pay for an air cleaner versus your health, I think it is a worthwhile investment.An air cleaner can also reduce the number of air-borne germs. It can used particularly useful for those with a weak immune system who are prone to illness and other diseases. For babies and young toddlers, it is equally useful since their immune system is not developed fully yet.There are various types of air cleaners available on the market these days that do not cost a lot of money. Some air cleaners require you to replace the air filter periodically. The newer models of air cleaners use what's known as an ionic system. An ionic system does not need to replace the air filter but instead by regularly washing the air filter similar to your air-conditioner. In my opinion, an ionic air cleaner is a better choice since you can save a bit of money in buying replacement air filters.Air cleaners are well worth your investment if you consider your health or your family health is more important than anything. An air cleaner can cut down the chances of a allergy attack or an asthma attack. If you are living in an urban city, chances are the air is a lot more polluted than you think. I got a shock when I saw how dirty the air filter was after a period of time. More than anything, I have cut down the number of times I visit the doctor for my asthma. So what are you waiting for? Go get yourself an air cleaner today.

Discover The Alternative Asthma Treatment. Is There Such A Thing?

Let's a have closer look at these pharmaceutical companies. Do they exist for our benefit or theirs?Drug wars and alternative asthma treatment.What did people do before the advent of global pharmaceutical companies? It's amazing anyone survived at all. But survive they did. Now I'm not one who usually goes in for conspiracy theories, but I have to say there is something extremely fishy about the drug industry. Are they really researching and developing new drugs for our benefit or theirs? What place do governments have in the drug market? Pharmaceutical companies actively work on new drugs to relieve the symptoms of illness, but what are they doing to actually cure them? I have a sneaky suspicion that they want to keep us all ill, keep us all drugged up to the eyeballs and keep us all coming back to buy more. Would it be the billion dollar industry it is otherwise? If you have asthma, you buy the drugs and try not to add up how much it is costing you each and every month. Sadly, there is no alternative. Or is there? Are there really alternative asthma treatment? Your doctor will obviously say no. But then again he's part of the pharmaceutical company drug chain. Alternative asthma treatment do exist. Almost every week new reports are being published from around the world saying, 'hey, wait a minute, we might have something here'. I have read many, many stories of people who found out that there can be another way to manage asthma and even make it disappear. You don't need to be a genius or expert in the field either. With almost every home having an internet connection these days, you have all the information in the world at your fingertips. As you are reading this page now, I assume you're looking for information. That's the best start you can get to break drug-asthma attack-drug-asthma attack chain. Read up on subjects like Buteyko method, acupuncture, chiropractic theory and homeopathy. These and many other alternative therapies for asthma have been used for thousands of years, who are we to say that they no longer have any use in today's society?

Understanding Asthma Medicine
Author: Dan Lanicek
Source: articledashboard.com
Asthma medicine helps prevent the symptoms of asthma that inhibit the possibility of doing activities that you want to when you want to do them. Symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing can be prevented completely or to some degree by using the correct asthma medication. There are generally two types of asthma medicine - controllers and relievers. Controllers are typically used every day, sometimes twice a day. Controllers prevent asthma symptoms, asthma attacks, and lung damage by relaxing and widening the airways in the body. Some also reduce swelling of the airways. Controllers should not be used to relieve asthma symptoms. Controller medication is most often inhaled and side effects may include fast heartbeat, nervousness, headaches, and hoarseness or coughing. Relievers are not taken on a daily basis like controllers and are used as needed typically during asthma attacks or as preventative to them. Relievers work to quickly open the narrowed airways of a person suffering from an asthma attack. A majority of relievers are a type of medicine called bronchodilators. Bronchodilators are inhaled and quickly relax and open airways. Side effects of relievers may include fast heartbeat, nervousness or restlessness, dry mouth, or shaky hands. Since reliever medicine quickly reduces asthma symptoms, people with asthma sometimes tend to use them too often. Often overuse is from using the relievers as preventatives before activities that may not necessarily cause asthma symptoms. However, this overuse of relievers can cause problems. Using a reliever too much can actually make your asthma symptoms worse or cause your heart to beat too fast or in an odd rhythm. If you suffer from asthma, it is always a good idea to have at least a 30-day supply of both your controller medicine and your reliever medicine. It is important to understand how your asthma medicine works and what the possible side effects are. If you are unsure, talk to your doctor to get all the information you need on asthma medication and do your own research to learn all you can about asthma and asthma medication.

Get Control Of Your Asthma: Prevention Is The Key

Asthma is the most common chronic health problem in the United States. It is especially common among kids. There is no cure, but there are ways to prevent asthma from making your daily life a coughing, sneezing, wheezing headache.Asthma trouble is caused by airborne allergens. These are small particles that are common in the house and irritate your respiratory system. They include dust, mold, pollen, animal dander, tobacco smoke and other airborne irritants. The key to controlling asthma is to reduce these household irritants.Dust MitesStudies have shown that exposure to dust mites may cause a child to develop asthma. These are tiny insects that live in dust. They thrive in bedding, carpets and furniture. They are most common in humid environments. It's their excrement that causes an allergic reaction.If you have children, it is very important that you deal with the dust mites in your house. Every house has them and it is impossible to get rid of them completely, but there are some things you can do to minimize you child's exposure:-Make sure there is good ventilation. Open windows, keep the air flowing.-Buy allergen impermeable covers for pillows and furniture. Wrapping furniture in plastic also helps.-Clean bedding at least once a week. Clean regularly and try to keep the house as dust-free as possible.-But an air filtration system that will remove environmental allergens. This will help with other allergens such as mold and pet dander too.-Since humidity is favored by dust mites, use a dehumidifier. This will also cut down on mold.When cleaning dust, use a damp cloth. Cleaning dusty surfaces with a dry cloth only stirs up the dust.MoldMold is a problem in most homes. Like dust, it is unavoidable, but there are steps you can take to reduce the mold in your house. Keep the house clean and make sure there is never anything left wet. Keep the humidity in the house down, and check for mold in hard-to-find places. Mold likes to grow under carpets, behind furniture, in crawlspaces and on bathroom tiles.Tobacco SmokePeople are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of second hand smoke. Exposure to smoke in childhood may be one of the causes of asthma. In addition to direct inhalation, smoke clings to furniture and clothes.The best thing you can do is to stop smoking. Failing that, at least smoke outside or when away from the house.CockroachesCockroaches can be a major allergen for asthma sufferers. Make sure not to leave any food out, and clean up any standing water in your house. Also, make sure there are no leaky faucets where cockroaches might like to live.PetsMany people are allergic to the hair and saliva of cats and dogs. If you are very allergic to pets, don't have one, or restrict the animal's access to the house. Groom your pet regularly. After petting your dog or cat, wash your hands. You may also want to wear gloves when petting them.Be Aware Of Your AsthmaThe only way to prevent asthma is to be aware of it. Millions of asthma suffers go undiagnosed, or are diagnosed too late.Common symptoms of asthma include:- Trouble breathing or catching your breath.- Persistent coughing or sneezing. You shouldn't cough or sneeze more than a few times a day.- Wheezing.- No sense of taste or smell.- Dark patches around the eyes.- Constant ear or sinus infections.If you or your child suffer any of these asthma symptoms, go to the doctor immediately. If you are diagnosed with asthma, seek treatment right away.

The Role of Removing ADHD Problems With Fish Oil
Author: Larry L. Taylor

The role of removing ADHD problems with fish oil is important and effective. What seems to be the reason that fish oil can help in removing ADHD problems? Let's find out why all of us, with or without ADHD should be taking fish oil everyday.A great deal of the mass of the human brain is fat. Of that fat, a large portion is omega-3 fat. Specifically, 40% of the brain's mass is Docosahexaenoic acid or DHA, the longest of the long-chained fatty acids.Researchers have proven that DHA is essential for normal brain development in infants and toddlers. Because of that, it is now included in infant formulas.You may remember studies from years ago concerning the lower incidence of behavioral problems and higher IQ scores among children that were breast-fed, as opposed to those that were given formula. At that time, researchers could not identify the exact reason for those findings.You may have also read that infants who were breast fed were less likely to develop asthma or allergies. It was theorized that the mother's immunities were transferred to the infant through breast milk. But, breast milk is also rich in DHA.Removing ADHD problems with fish oil is only effective when the supplement is rich in DHA. Studies have shown that DHA supplementation improves behavior and school performance.Studies have also shown that infants who get enough DHA are less likely to have asthma and allergies. Some studies have gone one step further, proving that the children of women who got enough DHA during pregnancy were less likely to have those health problems.Researchers have long been aware that omega-3 fatty acids are essential to the human diet. They are only beginning to understand the essential nature of DHA.Over the last 50 years, the human diet in industrialized societies has changed dramatically. We eat less fish and game. The meat that we eat is practically devoid of omega-3s and provides little, if any DHA.That's one of the reasons that researchers began looking at the idea of removing ADHD problems with fish oil, rich in DHA. Moms agree that it works. I can personally vouch for its effectiveness for my own son.The prescription drugs are accompanied by numerous unwanted side effects and in many cases, they simply don't work. Research is finally moving away from the idea of using synthetic prescription drugs to guarantee our health and well-being. Nature has provided everything that we need. It just took some time to find the right solution for specific problems.Dozens of studies have now shown that removing ADHD problems with fish oil is a real possibility. But, as a parent, you need to be careful about which supplement you buy.Some supplements provide very little DHA. So, that's the first thing that you need to look for.The oils can be contaminated with mercury. So, purity is another important factor.The best manufacturers fully explain the efforts that they make to insure purity and high DHA content. If removing ADHD problems with fish oil is your goal, you need to choose a manufacturer that does those things. With a good supplement, you should notice a difference in a very short time.And now please visit the XtendFishOil website listed below for updated information on removing ADHD problems with fish oil.

5 Ways to Avoid the Winter Exercise Blues
Author: Kevin Gianni
Source: articleage.com
Who wants to go outside to exercise during the winter in the Northeast? I know for me it's a struggle to lace up my shoes and go out for a jog when the sleet is pelting against my office window.
So how are you supposed to stay in fantastic shape during the colder months of the year? Here are 5 little secrets that will keep you on track until it's shorts and t-shirt weather again!
1. Ice Skate!
During the winter it's usually to cold, to dark, or to dangerous to walk or run outside on the roads. Not to mention slippery. To get in a great workout and stay relatively warm (at least without the wind chill) ice skating is the way to go. Yes, you can go to a local pond and shovel off the snow to start a pickup game of hockey, but even better yet is to go to the local ice rink for a free skate.
A free skate is just a few hours where the rink opens up for the public. It is very reasonably priced (about $20 for two with skate rentals) and ice skating is a great workout! A few laps at a elevated pace will certainly get you sweating.
Haven't ice skated since high school? Don't worry, Ann and I went a month and a half ago for the first time in a long time and picked it up again just like riding a bike. But if you are worried, it doesn't hurt to get a pair of kneepads!
2. Wear Under Armour
If you're a trooper and need to be outside this thermal wear is the way to go. It's expensive, but it will keep you warm AND dry. The fabric is engineered to wick sweat away from your body. This means that you won't be soaked to the bone and freeze up on those cold days when you're working out hard.
Under Armour makes tops, bottoms, headgear, gloves, etc., so you can accessorize and wear them all under your workout clothes for maximum winter comfort!
3. Know Your Physical Limits
Yes, you could exercise outside all winter long, but there are some days when your health is more important than pushing it.
Have you ever gone outside on one of those days where the air is so cold to breathe in that you have a coughing fit right there on the spot?
Well if you have, or even if you haven't, your body is telling you something very important the air is too cold for you to safely warm it up before it gets to your lungs. You should never exercise outside when the temperature is more than 80-90 degrees below your body temperature. Your lungs will pay for it.
This is called exercise induced asthma (EIA) and its symptoms include wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath and can lead to chronic asthma.
So if you think it's too cold, it probably is. Stay inside and see tips #4 and 5!
4. Learn a Bodyweight Exercise Routine
A bodyweight routine is a series of exercises that need no equipment and that you can do in your own home. There are many types of bodyweight routines... yoga, pilates, yoglaties, aerobics, etc. These routines will get you in great shape in the privacy and warmth of your own home.
When you are doing these routines, you must be sure that you get a cardiovascular workout as well as a stretching and strengthening workout. If you can't go outside and get your heart rate up, then you have to do it inside. This requires a little more creativity!
Repetitions of squats, bear squats, upward dog-downward dog, jumping jacks, etc can serve as a fantastic cardiovascular and strengthening workout that covers all fitness bases. To find out more about bodyweight routines, visit our website and take a look at our "Lifestyle Fitness Points System." In this program you will find all the exercises, I've mentioned above, plus 10 routines you can start using right away no matter what your level of fitness is!
5. Start Your Own Personal Gym
Now's the time to think about getting a treadmill or elliptical machine... or maybe even that Bowflex you were looking at a year ago. Having your own equipment and knowing how to use it will keep you motivated and help you stay on track.
You'll never have the "I don't have time to go to the gym" excuse anymore. The gym will be right there waiting for you. Talk about convenience!
Shop around and you'll be rewarded with the best deals!

Cot death (CD) is the more telling title than SIDS-sudden infant death syndrome-for unexplainable and unpredictable death of a child in the cot.
Author: Anonymous
Source: free-articles
This new information on cot death is taken from my forthcoming book Water: Your Healer from Within. Its earlier presentation is intended as a public service.
Cot death (CD) is the more telling title than SIDSโ€"sudden infant death syndromeโ€"for unexplainable and unpredictable death of a child in the cot. Losing an infant during his/her sleep is one of the most devastating tragedies imaginable, particularly one's first child or the only possible child. Even if the infant is not the only child, but one of many, the event causes devastation for every member of that family. It is not known why this occurs, but it does happen. Every year, 7000 to 8000 infants between a few days to one year old die inexplicably whilst sleep. Of these, the greatest frequency is among infants of two to six months. Diagnosis relies on exclusion of other causes and based on autopsy examination.
Vomiting the milk and choking on it is usually not the cause of death. It is not caused by infections and colds. It is not the result of a contagious disease. If these were the case, the primary cause would become obvious. The primary cause of CD is not really known. This is the reason they have given it the label of a โ€œsyndrome.โ€ This word is used to indicate that the condition is being looked at seriously even if nothing new has transpired and no primary reason has been isolated. It is now being proposed that gasses emitted from the mattress may be responsible for the death. However, this may not explain the pattern and the frequency of the incidents within the first six months. If the gasses emitted from the mattress were solely responsible for the deaths, one would expect the frequency to climb the longer the infant is exposed to the gasses, from the initial days and for the duration of sleeping on the โ€œtoxic gas-emittingโ€ mattress.
I have thought much about the possible physiological events that might cause the death of an infant during sleep. From the perspective of my paradigm shift (see the science section of this website), the only plausible physiologic event that might be responsible for cot death is the constriction of bronchioles due to dehydration and โ€œheat managementโ€ programs of the body, when the infant is possibly bundled too much and the room is warmer than should be. I would call it infantile asthma. If childhood asthma can kill a good few thousands annually, even when treatment is available, why should asthma not be considered as a primary cause of death in infants who have no means of expression when in deep sleep?
We in medicine are confused about milk. We think it is the same as water just, because it has the consistency of a fluid. There is a marked difference between human milk and cow's milk. Cow's milk is more concentrated, and has more fat and proteins than human milk. Human milk is 88.5% water and cows milk is 87% water. Human milk has 3.3 % fat, 6.8% lactose 0.9% casein, 0.4% other proteins and 0.2% minerals. Cow's milk contains 3.5% fat, 4.8% lactose, 2.7% casein, 0.7% other proteins and 0.7% minerals. These differences are significant. Cow's milk is designed for the needs of a calf that stands and begins to move and runs around in the first hour of life. The newborn child is immobile for the first several months of life. Here lies the reason there is a difference in the natural consistency and design of human milk and cow's milk. When cow's milk is given to infants as their only source of water, and often time parents are told not to give infants water, the metabolic system of the infant is burdened by digestion of the concentrated milk. Concentrated milk from the cow can have detrimental effects on the infants unless the formula is diluted.
I was told at a medical conference that autopsy of infants who died in car accidents showed an obvious partial blockage of the coronary arteries of those on cow's milk, and not of those who were breast-fed. This is a significant revelation that has not been dealt with publicly and openly. The normal practice is that the infant is given concentrated milk and bundled to sleep. While asleep, much water, in comparison to the weight of the infant, is lost from the lungs during the exhalation phase of the breathing process. This water loss from the lungs, on top of the fact that the milk contained possibly only just enough water needed for the digestion of the milk itself, leaves the body of the infant short of water and will force it into physiological events for โ€œdrought management.โ€ This includes the secretion of increased amounts of histamine, which in infants is also a growth hormone and abundantly available. Histamine is also a constrictor of bronchioles. At a certain level of milk intake and unfavorable environmental conditions and the inability to cool down, it is possible that this combination could tip the balance toward the constriction of the bronchioles in the infant and cause silent death in sleep.
What surprises me is how the body of an infant is so resilient and adaptive that this problem is not seen more frequently. I can only think that the digestive process in the infant is so strongly active that the metabolic process manufactures some water from the breakdown of the solids in the milk to help the process in the same cycle of milk intake. In which case, what tips the balance against the infant is its unfavorable environmental factors of too much heat and excessive covering of the body for โ€œcot deathโ€ to occur.
In old cultures, infants were given water. If they cried too much, tradition was to give the child a little sugar-sweetened water, one or two spoons of waterโ€"a few cubic centimeters, or about an ounce of waterโ€"one manufacturer had produced what was called โ€œgripe waterโ€ to prevent colic. As the child grew, they would give more water. I remember the child would sometimes be given water in a bottle after some milk. Old cultures understood the importance of water to an infant and a growing child. Not too much of it, but a balanced amount and always with or after milk. I think we should go back to the practice of introducing some water into the diet of infants in the process of growth, particularly in the second and third months of life, when the occurrence of cot death becomes frequent and reaches its height by the age of six months. This practice might possibly also cultivate a taste for water from infancy and establish a stronger thirst sensationโ€"and prevent over eating when one is only thirsty later in life.
For more information on the role of histamine, see the articles on this topic in the science section, www.watercure.com/Topics10.htm, or read my book ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus.

Every year, 7000 to 8000 infants between a few days to one year old die inexplicably whilst sleep. Of these, the greatest frequency is among infants of two to six months. Diagnosis relies on exclusion of other causes and based on autopsy examination.
Vomiting the milk and choking on it is usually not the cause of death. It is not caused by infections and colds. It is not the result of a contagious disease. If these were the case, the primary cause would become obvious. The primary cause of CD is not really known. This is the reason they have given it the label of a โ€œsyndrome.โ€ This word is used to indicate that the condition is being looked at seriously even if nothing new has transpired and no primary reason has been isolated. It is now being proposed that gasses emitted from the mattress may be responsible for the death. However, this may not explain the pattern and the frequency of the incidents within the first six months. If the gasses emitted from the mattress were solely responsible for the deaths, one would expect the frequency to climb the longer the infant is exposed to the gasses, from the initial days and for the duration of sleeping on the โ€œtoxic gas-emittingโ€ mattress.
I have thought much about the possible physiological events that might cause the death of an infant during sleep. From the perspective of my paradigm shift (see the science section of this website), the only plausible physiologic event that might be responsible for cot death is the constriction of bronchioles due to dehydration and โ€œheat managementโ€ programs of the body, when the infant is possibly bundled too much and the room is warmer than should be. I would call it infantile asthma. If childhood asthma can kill a good few thousands annually, even when treatment is available, why should asthma not be considered as a primary cause of death in infants who have no means of expression when in deep sleep?
We in medicine are confused about milk. We think it is the same as water just, because it has the consistency of a fluid. There is a marked difference between human milk and cow's milk. Cow's milk is more concentrated, and has more fat and proteins than human milk. Human milk is 88.5% water and cows milk is 87% water. Human milk has 3.3 % fat, 6.8% lactose 0.9% casein, 0.4% other proteins and 0.2% minerals. Cow's milk contains 3.5% fat, 4.8% lactose, 2.7% casein, 0.7% other proteins and 0.7% minerals. These differences are significant. Cow's milk is designed for the needs of a calf that stands and begins to move and runs around in the first hour of life. The newborn child is immobile for the first several months of life. Here lies the reason there is a difference in the natural consistency and design of human milk and cow's milk. When cow's milk is given to infants as their only source of water, and often time parents are told not to give infants water, the metabolic system of the infant is burdened by digestion of the concentrated milk. Concentrated milk from the cow can have detrimental effects on the infants unless the formula is diluted.
I was told at a medical conference that autopsy of infants who died in car accidents showed an obvious partial blockage of the coronary arteries of those on cow's milk, and not of those who were breast-fed. This is a significant revelation that has not been dealt with publicly and openly. The normal practice is that the infant is given concentrated milk and bundled to sleep. While asleep, much water, in comparison to the weight of the infant, is lost from the lungs during the exhalation phase of the breathing process. This water loss from the lungs, on top of the fact that the milk contained possibly only just enough water needed for the digestion of the milk itself, leaves the body of the infant short of water and will force it into physiological events for โ€œdrought management.โ€ This includes the secretion of increased amounts of histamine, which in infants is also a growth hormone and abundantly available. Histamine is also a constrictor of bronchioles. At a certain level of milk intake and unfavorable environmental conditions and the inability to cool down, it is possible that this combination could tip the balance toward the constriction of the bronchioles in the infant and cause silent death in sleep.
What surprises me is how the body of an infant is so resilient and adaptive that this problem is not seen more frequently. I can only think that the digestive process in the infant is so strongly active that the metabolic process manufactures some water from the breakdown of the solids in the milk to help the process in the same cycle of milk intake. In which case, what tips the balance against the infant is its unfavorable environmental factors of too much heat and excessive covering of the body for โ€œcot deathโ€ to occur.
In old cultures, infants were given water. If they cried too much, tradition was to give the child a little sugar-sweetened water, one or two spoons of waterโ€"a few cubic centimeters, or about an ounce of waterโ€"one manufacturer had produced what was called โ€œgripe waterโ€ to prevent colic. As the child grew, they would give more water. I remember the child would sometimes be given water in a bottle after some milk. Old cultures understood the importance of water to an infant and a growing child. Not too much of it, but a balanced amount and always with or after milk. I think we should go back to the practice of introducing some water into the diet of infants in the process of growth, particularly in the second and third months of life, when the occurrence of cot death becomes frequent and reaches its height by the age of six months. This practice might possibly also cultivate a taste for water from infancy and establish a stronger thirst sensationโ€"and prevent over eating when one is only thirsty later in life.
For more information on the role of histamine, see the articles on this topic in the science section, www.watercure.com/Topics10.htm, or read my book ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus.

Asthma: Ten Facts You May Wish To Know About It
Author: Dr Maduka Ogwueleka
Source: articledashboard.com
Here are ten more facts you may wish to know about this airway disease.
• It affects 5 to 8% of the population. The prevalence is rising in many parts of the world but no one really knows why. This disease costs the United States of America more than $7 billion per year. The impact of the disease tends to fall more heavily on minorities and inner-city African-American and Hispanic persons.
• Asthma occurs at all ages but mainly in early life. About 50% of cases develop before the age of 10 and about 33% occur before the age of 40. In childhood, males are more affected than females but the sex ration equalizes by the age of 30.
• Most childhood asthmatics either grow out of the disease in adolescence, or suffer much less as adults. A significant number of people develop chronic form of the disease late in life.
• The disease results in more than 2000 deaths per year in the United Kingdom and about 50% of those deaths are people aged more than 65 years old.
• Atopy (an allergic reaction with strong family tendencies) is the single largest risk factor for the development of the disease. The so called 'allergic asthma' is often associated with a personal and/or family history of allergic diseases such as rhinitis, urticaria (hives), and eczema.
• However, a large proportion of people suffering from the disease have no personal or family history of allergy. These people are said to have 'idiosyncratic or nonatopic asthma'. In general, if it occurs in early life, the sufferer tends to have a strong allergic component, whereas if it develops in late life, the sufferer tends not to have any allergic contribution whatsoever.
• Although there is little doubt that the disease has a strong familial component, the identification of the genetic mechanisms underlying the illness has proven very difficult due to lack of uniform agreement on the definition of the disease, an incomplete understanding of how environmental factors modify genetic expression and the inability to define a single phenotype for the disease.
• The stimuli that trigger sudden episode of the disease can be grouped into seven major categories: allergenic, drugs (examples of drugs that can stimulate asthma are Aspirin, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Beta-blockers), environmental (air pollution), occupational (in various industries), infectious, exercise-induced and emotional.
• Respiratory infections are the most common stimuli that trigger acute episodes of the disease. Respiratory viruses and not bacteria or allergy to microorganisms are the major causative factors. In young children, the most important infectious agents are respiratory syncytial virus and parainfluenza virus. In older children and adults, rhinovirus and influenza virus predominate as the causative microorganisms.
• It is important to note that some sufferers may not have any sign(s) of the disease, in other words, they may have normal breath sounds. In such individuals, a bronchoprovocation test may be required to make the diagnosis.

Dealing With Asthma In Adults
Author: Jackson Sperry
Source: isnare.com
Asthma is a chronic lung disorder caused when the airways react to certain allergens or stimuli. If it isn't treated and managed effectively, it can ultimately become a life-threatening disease.
People can develop asthma during adulthood, even if they've never had any problems earlier in life - even during middle age or even older. This is known as Adult Onset Asthma.
Proper diagnosis is important because asthma symptoms are often similar to other illnesses that can develop in adults, including chest problems, cough and even heart disease.
The most common asthma symptoms in adults include the following:
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Persistent cough
- Excess mucus production
- Pain or tightness in the chest
There are number of things that can trigger asthma in adulthood. One of the most common - and severe - triggers is smoking. Cigarette smoke can cause acute asthma episodes as well as increased sensitivity to other allergens.
Smoking will always make asthma more severe and can also lead to other problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Smoking doesn't only effect the smoker who is asthmatic, either. Second hand smoke will aggravate asthma for anyone exposed to it, and fetal exposure to maternal smoking can also lead to early onset asthma.
Some of the other common asthma triggers in adults include:
- Pollen, mold and other allergens
- Strong odors
- Infections
- Certain medications such as beta-blockers and anti-inflammatory drugs
- Dust
- Exercise
Asthma is a permanent condition - not something that is treated then gone. Even when the symptoms are not apparent, the condition still exists.
As people get older, the lungs become less and less capable, resulting in more pronounced effects from asthma. For this reason, adult onset asthma must be managed properly because if the lungs deteriorate, they may never recover. The sooner it can be identified, the better.
