21.01.2022 PROOF THAT ACUPUNCTURE PRODUCES MEASURABLE RESULTS Dr Larsen reported I collected this evidence in conjunction with a research paper I published with two co-authors in 2011, titled Skin Conductance at 24 Source (Yuan) Acupoints in 8637 Patients: Influence of Age, Gender and Time of Day.

20.01.2022 MASTITIS AND THE ANCIENT POWER OF FENUGREEK Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) appears to be the herb that is most often used to increase milk supply in nursing mothers. It has been reported to be an excellent galactagogue (a substance which helps to produce breast milk) for some mothers, and has been used as such for centuries. The herb fenugreek is also very beneficial for nursing mothers with mastitis. Jilli Manning explains, I made a simple compress of warm soaked ...fenugreek seeds inside a cotton breast pad with a slit cut in at the top, and kept this in place with a maternity bra all night. I soaked it in hot water again the next morning and kept it in place all day. Fenugreek has a long history of use for treating mastitis as an external poultice, while also drinking the extract of seeds soaked overnight. http://happyherbcompany.com/mastitis-and-inflammation See more

19.01.2022 7 THINGS TO SAY TO SUPPORT YOUR GRIEVING FRIEND. In a kind and open-ended way, you can say things like: 1. Im so sorry. What youre going through is so big that I cant even find words. 2. That sucks. That shouldnt have happened to you.... 3. Sometimes when I get upset my mind goes blank, and thats whats happening right now. Please know that Im here for you even if my words are garbled. 4. I care so much that I dont know what to say. 5. Trying to say something feels like it would minimize what youre going through. 6. I feel drawn to give you a hug. Do you want a hug? 7. Im open to talking about it if you want to. And Im fine with talking about something else if you want to get your mind off of it. Then follow the lead of your friend. Whether they cry, change the subject, hug you, stiffen, say theyre fine, or anything else, let your next step emerge from the cues they give you. Naming that you dont know what to say or do, naming that obvious (that the situation is awful), or naming that youre open to following their lead all while being open and present are all better options than saying nothing. https://medium.com//want-to-support-your-grieving-friend-5

19.01.2022 DOCTOR BARRY MARSHALL IS A TRULY INSPIRATIONAL AUSTRALIAN Barry James Marshall AC, FRACP, FRS, FAA (born 30 September 1951) is an Australian physician, Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, and Professor of Clinical Microbiology at the University of Western Australia. Professor Marshalls Helicobacter pylori Theory was ridiculed by the establishments scientists and doctors, who did not believe that any bacteria could live in the acidic environment of the stomach. M...arshall has been quoted as saying in 1998 that "(e)veryone was against me, but I knew I was right." Marshall and Robin Warren showed that the bacterium pylori (H. pylori) plays a major role in causing many peptic ulcers, challenging decades of medical doctrine holding that ulcers were caused primarily by stress, spicy foods, and too much acid. This discovery has allowed for a breakthrough in understanding a causative link between Helicobacter pylori infection and stomach cancer.

18.01.2022 TOP TEN THINGS I WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT PCOS For women with PCOS, maintaining good health cannot be underestimated! Fertility doctor & womens health crusader, Rashmi Kudesia, MD MSc. States, Gosh, it is so hard to overhaul your diet, get regular exercise, and find time for regularly taking supplements or going to acupuncture. It can be daunting for many women with PCOS, and I totally sympathize. She cautions, The metabolic risks are real. Though not every woman with PCO...S gets cardiometabolic disease, the risks are elevated, even if youre thin. The body can develop a resistance to insulin, the hormone that deals with the sugar we ingest in our diet, making it easier to gain weight & harder to lose weight. Over time, this can cause diabetes (in pregnancy and then type II), heart disease and so on.

18.01.2022 E-CIGARETTES INCREASE YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKE Many e-cigarette liquids use flavour, found to induce early signs of cardiovascular disease leading to heart attack, stroke and even death. Researchers found changes appear almost immediately on the cellular level. Recent data demonstrate vaporized e-cig liquid increases inflammation in the lung and damages lung cells responsible for protecting lung tissue, potentially increasing risk for infection. Both processes increase your risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For those living with COPD, every breath can be difficult. https://articles.mercola.com//08/29/vaping-health-risks.as

15.01.2022 HOW DOES SMOKING AFFECT SLEEP? Smoking interferes with your sleep, which may come as a surprise to those who view it as a sleep aid. Many people wind down before bed with a cigarette, not realizing that as the nicotine rushes through their system, it disrupts their sleep architecture and leads to insomnia and sleep-disordered breathing. https://www.tuck.com/smoking-affects-sleep/

14.01.2022 ACUPUNCTURE PRODUCES ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS TO HELP OSTEOARTHRITIS More research continues to emerge showing the pain relieving effects of acupuncture. Researchers from the ... University of Maryland in Baltimore and Shanxi Medical University in Shanxi, China showed that electroacupuncture attenuates osteoarthritis pain by activating serotonin receptors that, play an important role in pain modulation at the spinal level. The researchers also discovered that electroacupuncture activates serotonergic neurons that project into the spinal cord. The researchers concluded that electroacupuncture has the ability to induce spinal serotonin release and stimulate 5-HT2A/2c [serotonin] receptor activities at the spinal cord to inhibit osteoarthritis induced pain. http://bit.ly/A9leRP See more

13.01.2022 ALL ABOUT ACUPUNCTURE AND HOW IT WORKS While Eastern medicine practitioners believe acupuncture is all about the qi (vital life energy), Western scientists continue to study the mechanism of acupuncture in an attempt to figure out how it works. So far, Western researchers have proposed several scientific hypotheses about how acupuncture works. In terms of how you will feel after an acupuncture session, some report feeling very relaxed, whereas others feel completely energized.... It will take more than one session for your body to experience relief from any troubling symptoms. While an acupuncture practitioner is the best one to estimate the length of your treatment, you should plan on having multiple sessions over a period of weeks or months to fully address most conditions. Be very wary of wannabe-acupuncturists that go on a one-day course. These dry-needlers are potentially very dangerous. Ask your practitioner how long they studied acupuncture, and if they did not study for 4 years do not let them use dry needling on you. https://articles.mercola.com///how-acupuncture-works.aspx

03.01.2022 BICARBONATE OF SODA COULD SPARE WOMEN RISK OF C-SECTION A study just conducted, involving 200 women, found that, when dissolved in water, bicarbonate of sodium enables between 17 and 20 % of women having slow or difficult labours to give birth naturally, without harming their babies. Professor Susan Wray, from the University of Liverpool, and a team of researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, gave bicarbonate of soda to 100 women in labour experiencing difficulties,... as well as oxytocin. Another 100 women were treated with just oxytocin. The results, published in the journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, found those who had bicarbonate of soda increased their chances of a vaginal delivery. Describing the outcome as amazing, Professor Wray added, We were able to significantly increase the number of women having a spontaneous delivery, avoiding the emergency Caesarean section. Not by just a few percent, but by around 17-20 %. https://www.eurasiareview.com/28012018-bicarbonate-of-soda/

02.01.2022 THE BENEFITS OF CUPPING THERAPY BY PROFESSIONAL TCM PRACTITIONERS Research has found cupping by TCM professionals may benefit conditions such as chronic neck and shoulder pain, back pain, arthritis of the knee, herpes zoster, facial paralysis and cervical spondylosis. However, many wanabe acupuncturists do very brief weekend courses of a few hours and can be very dangerous. Licensed doctors of TCM have a minimum of 3,000 hours of training and know how to perform cupping safely and effectively. This also applies to Dry needlers who are potentially very dangerous after only a weekend workshop instead of 4 years training at University.
