Candida Overgrowth Syndrome

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

By Dr. David Enders Candida albicans (and other strains of Candida) normally inhabit our digestive system and genitourinary tract. A healthy person will have millions of Candida, which actually helps protect our gastrointestinal tract against many pathogenic bacteria. Our immune system normally keeps the Candida growth under control and in balance with the friendly flora. Antibiotics, birth control pills, diet high in sugar; environmental toxins may cause a decrease in the friendly flora, resulting in a Candida overgrowth. Cnadida albicans will then mutate from the yeast to the mycelial fungal form and start to invade the body. The fungal state can produce rhizoids (tentacle-like structures). Rhizoids can penetrate intestinal walls causing microscopic holes, allowing bacteria, toxins, and micro-food particles to enter directly into the blood stream. Because of its many and varied symptoms, this disorder is often misdiagnosed. Both men and women can be affected, but it is rarely transmitted sexually. Candida albicans is the most frequently isolated fungal pathogen of humans. Many chronic health problems are related to Candida overgrowth. These include, but are not limited to: Genitourinary problems Fibromyalgia Digestive disorders PMS Muscle pain Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Psoriasis Leaky gut Food intolerance Asthma Multiple Sclerosis Allergies Sexual dysfunction THE SPIT TEST Want to know if you may have a Candia overgrowth problem? The spit test is an easy and economical way to see if you may have a yeast overgrowth problem. First thing in the morning, before you do anything, or put anything into your mouth. Work up some saliva and spit it into a glass of water. Check every fifteen minutes for up to one hour. What to look for: Look into the glass. If you see tentacles hanging down from your saliva, suspended cloudy specks, or your saliva sinks to the bottom of the glass you may have a Candida problem. If you have not seen any of the above after one hour, you probably do not have a yeast problem. The saliva test is a guideline. Always consult with your doctor if you suspect any health concern. The best defense is a strong, properly working immune system. If you would like a copy of Immune Building Protocol e-mail Dr. Enders at dr.dkenders@sbcglobal.net. Please put Candida in subject line.

Weight Loss with Phentermine

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

By David Turner Losing weight is hard but living with weight is even harder My friend john is an outstanding mimic but is embarrassed to expose his talent because he is overweight. Millions of people around the world are addicted to obesity; the worst part is that children and adolescents are also under its grasp. Reluctance towards fitness and fast life style is a vital factor for weight gain. Such fast life provokes dependency on junk food so much so that we have forgotten the importance of fresh food; in fact nutritious diet has become a matter of opportunity. Whats going wrong? What is the reason for such rise in obesity in the recent years? We eat half the amount of food that people in early 50s used to eat but we surpass them drastically when it comes to weight gain. The answer is straightforward During the past few decades, there has been a phenomenal change in our lifestyle; to be precise we live in a remote control world where the importance of physical effort has literally vanished. Nowadays we spend more time in front of computers, we use cars where before we used our feet or bicycles, and we use lifts and escalators instead of stairs. We have become less active. So, although we consume fewer calories now than a few years ago, we also burn up far fewer calories than before. Weight gain is the difference between the calories we consume and the calories we lose. Or, put more simply, food versus exercise. Yes, we may not seem to eat very much, but if we are couch potatoes we still end up piling on the weight. A blessing called Phentermine: Phentermine is a boon for people seeking fast weight loss; it works by stimulating the hypothalamus gland and affecting certain neurotransmitters to decrease appetite. The hypothalamus is the region of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, regulating sleep cycles, body temperature, appetite, etc. Phentermine is available in tablets, capsule and resin capsules. Phentermine is an appetite suppressant; it should be taken empty stomach, once daily, before breakfast. Taking Phentermine late in the day can disrupt your sleeping hours. Phentermine Doses: Oral dosage form (Capsules) - 15 to 37.5 mg once per day before breakfast or 1-2 hours after breakfast. Oral dosage form (Tablets) - 15 to 37.5 mg once per day before breakfast or 1-2 hours after breakfast. Instead of taking it once a day, your doctor may tell you to take 15 to 37.5 mg in divided doses one-half hour before meals. Oral resin dosage form (Capsules) - 15 to 30 mg once per day before breakfast Phentermine side effects : Prescription drug like Phentermine can lead to unwanted side effects such as chest pain, swelling of legs, trouble in breathing and exercise and fainting. Some other familiar adverse effects of Phentermine include Depression Drowsiness, Increased blood pressure, Irritability, Nervousness, Sense of well-being, Tiredness, Blurred vision, Change in sexual desire, Clumsiness, Confusion, Diarrhea, and Dizziness. , Dry mouth, Headache, Irregular heartbeat, Nausea or vomiting, Psychosis, Skin rash or itching, Stomach pain, Tiredness and Unpleasant taste. Warning: People above 60 should consult their doctor before opting Phentermine; it is strictly banned for people below 16 years of age Keep the medicine away from children.

Change Leads to Power

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

By Ann Stewart Change requires power. Any kind of change is a formidable challenge for most people. Yet the Lord asks us to change from our old ways and do things His way. Not an easy task! Put off … the old man, … and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and… put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Eph. 4:22-24) Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Rom. 12:2) In your daily world, especially in this hectic instant access global culture where technology changes by the minute and you have to be adapting constantly, change is inevitable. You are being pulled in diverse directions and the older you get the less elastic you become. You get in the habit of doing things a certain way and become less tolerant to external demands to alter our lifestyle. Modifying learned responses to habitual routine tasks often causes stress and anxiety, especially in older persons. However, when the Lord requires you to change your lifestyle, He not only gives you the power to do so, but the result is a much more powerful you! Some people say they love the Lord but refuse to make a commitment because theyre just not ready yet! If only they realized that with the Lord everything goes smoothly, peacefully, and painlessly! Yes! Really! First of all, its your love for Him that prompts you to make adjustments. Secondly, He has given you the Holy Spirit to be your comforter, counselor and help. (John 14:26). All you need to do is lay your life before Him and ask Him to fashion you into a precious vessel for His use. You cannot change on your own. He is the potter, you are the clay. The clay just lies there as a lifeless lump on the potters wheel while the master twists and turns it until it is just right. All that is required of you is a willingness to want to be like Him. The more readily you give yourself fully to Him the more instant the transformation. It all starts in your mind. Once you align your thoughts with those of Christ and understand His Word and His ways, then all the old habits and mindsets fall by the wayside. Suddenly they dont seem so important any more. When you were in the world your mind, alienated from God through ignorance and blindness, prompted you to do things your own way. Once you know the Truth, you will want to put off all the vices and let your mind be washed by the Word. Besides the Holy Spirit, the Lord also knows that you need tangible support here on earth. That is why He has established you, who has been called out of the world, into His Body, the church. There He has provided leadership and support for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ; till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ! (Eph. 4; 12-13) I pray, with Paul, that you will be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your heart by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may come to comprehend His Love and be filled with all the fullness of God! He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to His Power that works in us!

Master of Disguise: How Gluten Hides Where You Least Expect It

Monday, September 10th, 2007

By Frann Leach Here’s a list of 14 places you might not expect to find gluten: Sausages contain breadcrumbs (the bread is one of the ways in which the texture of the sausage is obtained, without including an unacceptably high proportion of fat), except the most high class variety of butcher’s sausage, and even in this case it’s quite likely. Burgers, grillsteaks and similar products generally also include bread or other wheat products in the mixture. Crab sticks and prawnies seem to be made entirely of fish, but if you check the label and you will find wheat flour or modified starch listed in the ingredients. Some drinks contain gluten as a thickener, to provide ‘body’. Wheat flour may be a hidden ingredient in ice cream, ketchup, mayonnaise and instant coffee. You often find gluten in low fat versions of products, to make them seem less watery (for example, yoghurt, soft cheese or mayonnaise). Pre-packed grated cheese is coated in flour or modified starch to stop it from sticking together in the packet - this includes the cheese sold with jacket potatoes in takeaways, unless they grate their own (but most don’t). Obviously, anything coated in batter or breadcrumbs contains gluten in the coating. This makes almost every fish product out of bounds for the gluten intolerant, as the ones that aren’t coated are usually packaged in a sauce thickened with flour. Monosodium glutamate, known to Chinese cooks as ‘taste powder’ or ‘ve-tsin’ is manufactured with gluten. This ingredient is very frequently included in factory-prepared goods, but may not be listed on the label - or merely described as a ‘flavor enhancer’. Soy sauce is almost always made by fermenting soy beans and wheat together, so contains gluten. Although wheat germ does not itself contain gluten, because of the process of separation employed in manufacture, it is likely that a small amount of gluten will be present in wheat germ sold in the stores. Malt and malt extract are derived from wheat, and can be a hidden source of gluten. This is sometimes listed as maltase or malto-dextrin. Any alcoholic drink made from grain - beer or whisky, for example, contains gluten. Even medicines may contain gluten, used as a thickener or a binder. Frann Leach lives in South Ayrshire, Scotland.

Dock and Boat Lift Placement: Know Your Riparian Rights

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

By Maria Keeney If you own a lakefront home, are you deciding where to place your dock and boat lift next year? It is important to know what your rights are as it relates to dock and boatlift placement. The following information will serve as a guide to help you determine whether you are infringing on someone else’s rights or whether they are infringing on yours with regard to dock and boat lift placement. First, it is good to check with your local city or county government to determine whether or not there are any existing regulations that will mandate where you can and cannot put your dock. Some localities instruct you to apply for a permit before even putting a dock in the water. Many localities use local ordinances to regulate dock placement and they exist mainly to protect your rights and the rights of others. Those ordinances usually provide setbacks (setbacks are a determined distance requirement from a given line where you must place your dock in the water). Some ordinances actually define what is called a “dock use area” which sets the parameters in the water detailing where you can and cannot place your dock. If your locality does have an ordinance it is good to follow those rules unless you have an agreement with your neighbor. Whether or not your locality has an ordinance or does not, you are still entitled to certain riparian rights as a land owner. What is a riparian? Generally speaking, If you own land that abuts to a body of water, you are considered a riparian owner with riparian rights. Those rights include use of the water for such things as boating, fishing, swimming, views, mooring, navigation, etc. With those riparian rights, however, also come riparian responsibilities. Riparian owners have a responsiblity to use their rights in a reasonable manner as it relates to other riparian owners. Being a riparian owner does not necessarily mean that you own the lakebed, but you should check with your state DNR as some lakes do allow ownership of the lake bed and others, especially some smaller lakes have given title to certain lakebeds. A riparian owner’s rights depend on “reasonable use” of the water. The definition of what is reasonable use can change from owner to owner. Reasonable use must be weighed against other riparian owners’ reasonable use. Your riparian rights are shared with the public’s right to use that water as well as your adjacent lot owner’s rights. In riparian rights cases, the courts often examine what “reasonable use” is and the court really must look at those issues on a case by case basis. Factors such as lot size, land lines, navigability and lake levels going up and down, views, can have an impact on what is reasonable. Generally it is important to weigh your rights with your neighbors rights to determine what the best method of dock/boat lift placement is for you. The most common fair and equitable method of determining where to place your dock so that it does not infringe on another owner’s rights is to place your dock and boat lift at least 5′ or 10′ from the property side line extension into the water (or perpendicular from the shore line extension into the water). These methods will solve most case scenarios, but not all. If you are following these methods and your dock or your neighbor’s dock is still encroaching on your rights, the best scenario is to simply have both neighbors place their dock in the middle of their lots extending perpendicular to the shore in a “T” fashion. The bottom line here with regard to dock placement is old fashioned kindness, “be courteous to your neighbor”. If you have a problem with your neighbor about dock placement and you cannot resolve it by talking with them. You can lobby your local municipality to help. In the end if neither of these scenarios work, you may have to take it to a court of law.

A Guide To Canadian Drugs

Friday, September 7th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Emerson] Peter Emerson The cost of medicines and medical care is rising slowly but surely in United States, owing to high expenditure. The FDA and American legal system have imposed stringent measures towards health care market. Not withstanding medical insurance, the burden of buying drugs at high prices forces people to look for cheaper sources of the medications they need. Re-importation of drugs exported to Canada from United States and drugs manufactured at a lower cost in Canada has had an effect on pricing of drugs. Production of drugs and their cost is regulated by certain restrictions and rules applied by Canadian government. Demand for such reasonably priced Canadian drugs has increased the world over. Many American citizens have shown an interest in purchasing drugs from across the border. Food and Drugs Act of Canada, passed in 1920, was recently revised in 1985. This Act ensures that Canadian drugs are safe, and not sold as food or cosmetics. It is mandatory to declare chemical composition of all drugs on their labels. It also states that cures for diseases like cancer cannot be advertised. The Canadian government has extremely stringent requirements with regards manufacturing of drugs. These requirements are similar to those in United States. Most generic drugs are manufactured in Canada under these strict laws. A greater part of Canadian drugs are cheaper than drugs of similar chemical composition in the US. Canada has a policy of restricting drug costs through its national health insurance system, which is something the US does not have. Canada manufactures a limited proportion of standard prescription drugs for its own use. Shortfall is filled up by importing the remaining requirement from countries around the world. The Patented Medicine Prices Review Board keeps prices high, discouraging patented drug manufacturers from using price reductions as a cutthroat strategy. This permits companies that produce generic drugs to charge higher prices and protects them from any effects of price competition among brand-name competitors.

Want To Get In Shape? Well, Here’s What I Think Of You

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

By Shawn LeBrun I’ve been a personal trainer for about 4 years now, so I’ve talked to a lot of people looking to improve their health and/or physiques. And after speaking with them, I realize that we’re all so much alike. I’m willing to bet you’re just like us, whether you want to admit it or not. So, I want to take a minute to tell you, honestly, what I think of you, me, and everyone else I’ve had the opportunity to speak with, either in person or online. What you’re capable of achieving is absolutely amazing. But what you’re willing to settle for is so much less. You have more vast potential in you than you’ll ever know, but for some reason, it goes unrealized. I can speak from experience that anything you can THINK of achieving can be done. Just a few short years ago, when I was 240 pounds and VERY overweight, competing in a bodybuilding show was the furthest thing from my mind. But when it entered my mind, the wheels began turning, an image formed, and less than 3 months later, I was onstage wearing nothing but a small piece of fabric ;-) But losing 50 pounds of fat all began with a thought. Believe me, success in reaching your fitness goals is mental, not physical. Once you form an idea of the body you want, you then have to create enough desire to go after it. Combine that with a proper plan and there’s absolutely NO WAY you can fail. Like I mentioned earlier, I’ve trained a lot of people, people who are like you and I. Some succeeded incredibly, while others did not. What made all the difference? 2 things: 1. Those that succeeded in their fitness goals KNEW just a little bit more than those that didn’t. 2. Those that succeeded in their goals also DID a little bit more than those that didn’t. So, as you can see, knowledge is only power if it’s put to use. And every single person I’ve talked with has within themselves their own power to change. Do YOU have it in you? A person can or cannot achieve something based solely on the measure of their thinking. So take thinking time. Take planning time. Decide what it is you want to achieve with your fitness goals. Then just go after it. After all, it’s a personal decision to do so. It just takes action, consistent action. So, whether you feel you’re ready or not to get the body you want, begin today. Begin right now. Use what you have, the knowledge you possess, to get moving. Then, you can always add to that knowledge as you go.But start doing. Then you can start having. Again, what you’re capable of achieving is nothing short of amazing. But what you’re willing to settle for is usually mediocre. You have more potential than you know what to do with.Start realizing it. And that, dear reader, is what I think of you. Want to know if you’re training and eating right in order to build muscle and lose fat?

School Bullying Stopped: 5 Steps for Having a PST Meeting that Works!

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

By Paula McCoach You have had so many meetings on these bullies, but none of them ever seem to be effective. You waste time and energy, and the bullies keep bullying. Follow these 5 steps and have a meeting that produces results. 1. Be sure you have the decision makers at the meeting. It is fine to meet with the team of teachers, psychologists, social workers in attendance. But, in order to get anything accomplished, you need the staff members present that can make the decisions. Be sure you have the principal or vice-principal of the building present, so decisions can be made and carried out. If the bully is a hardcore bully, you will need the Pupil Services Supervisor or Alternative School Principal from the Board of Education present. If your plans are to remove the bully from the school, be sure to have the appropriate staff members present. 2. Be sure to invite the parent(s) or guardian of the bully. When you contact them, you should spell out exactly why the meeting is being held. Parents like administrators and Board of Education staff, are the people that can make and/or carry out the decisions make to help this child. If the parent or guardian is unable to attend, make sure you call them following the meeting and let them know the teams recommendations as well as get their input. 3. Have a basic idea of what recommendations would be effective for possibly making a difference with this student. Check out these ideas and be sure they are feasible. For example, if you are thinking of putting this student in an alternative program, you need to make sure there is space in these programs before the meeting. Another example, if you want to recommend a mentor to work with this student, be sure there is a mentor available, when they would be able to start working with this student and what their current relationship is with this students. 4. You may think this step is a no-brainer but be sure to schedule the meeting at a time when the key players can attend. Moreover, you want the decision makers to be able to attend if possible, so tailor your schedule your meeting around them. 5. Another no-brainer step but one that is often overlooked, be sure to have the school records file at the meeting, it is a good idea to have reviewed and discussed any pertinent information from the students past history. So, use your meeting time wisely and profitable. You want to solve this bully problem quickly and effectively, and a PST, Child Study or whatever your team meetings are called, will be not only effective but efficient as well.

Christianity Under Siege

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

By Philip Harris Wherever one turns, basic Christian precepts and dogmas are under attack. From the film THE SECRET, The DaVinci Code, the History and National Geographic TV channels, the Jesus Papers, Gospel of Judas, Gospel of Mary, and the recently released novel, Waking God, the very foundations of the Christian body of churches have been forced into the trenches. Long held beliefs and myths are being exposed and open to close examination, forcing even the most faithful to question the true history of their religions. While there have always been doubters, skeptics and blasphemers, the tenacity of the current onslaught is relentless. The texts of the suppressed Gnostics have finally made their way into the limelight, and their version of Christianity is far different than that portrayed in the carefully selected Church canons. Fundamental questions are being explored. Was Jesus married? Did he have children? Did he really die on the cross? Was there ever intent to truly form an organized church? Was Jesus even Jewish and did he belong to the secret society known as the Essenes? Did Nazareth exist or was Jesus a Nazarene? Have religious authoritys purposely altered or hidden great spiritual truths? Have secret societies preserved a bloodline or perhaps the teachers DNA? Was Judas, in fact, the greatest of the disciples? History shows that from its inception, the Church came under fire. The difference between then, and now, is that in times gone by, the Church wielded totalitarian powers. It was able to suppress dissent at every turn. The Gnostics were ostracized, the heretics burned at the stake, competing religions destroyed or co-opted, and non-believers had to contend with relentless crusades and holy wars. Things have changed. The long arm of the Church has been reduced in size and power by the Age of Information. No longer in control of this information network and lacking the backing of power-seeking monarchies, the dissemination of alternative versions of church histories can no longer be censored. Beginning in the 1920s, works by such men as H. Spencer Lewis portrayed a totally different version of the Passion and the nature of a man called Jesus. Lewis claimed in several works that Jesus was an initiate of a secret society and that rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated. Many of these ideas have been supported by the Dead Sea Scrolls and other documents. No longer in control of censoring its own history, the Church now finds itself on the cusp of a new age of skepticism and doubt. Most of these ideas have been around for centuries, but suppression and censorship have prevented them from being popularized. Is this siege justified? Is the quest for a new Holy Grail warranted? This observer would say that these efforts are long over due. Christian history and that of most organized religions has been one of blood and deceit. While the Messenger of Christian doctrine can easily lay claim to insights on the true nature of life, much of his message has been perverted, hidden, censored and rewritten. This is not just a Christian issue, all of the major avatars who sought to enlighten humanity have had there messages equally distorted. When one examines the similarities of the basic tenets of all great spiritual teachers, it cannot help but raise the question as to why they have caused so much divisiveness. Almost every organized religion has been the root cause of war, human divisiveness, and human misery. The numbers are open for debate but the range of deaths resulting from religious wars range from several hundred million to a billion. Growing sectarian violence in the Muslim world and current tensions between religions only had weight to this argument. The tragedy of loss of life aside, although not downplayed, is the fact that most major organized religions remove the notion of responsibility from human thought. The concepts of do as you will and all will be forgiven as long as you join my church have given humanity a false belief that we do not reap what we sow. The reward of heaven has driven mankind to the extremes of his nature and forms the basis of the worlds current ills. Terrorism, global rape, the struggle of the poor and homeless, and the lack of basic human freedoms can point their fingers at religions as the root cause of their problems. Why? Because we have been taught that our destiny, our gains and our ills are totally out of our control. If we follow the dictates of religious dogma there is a chance that we might be saved. If we do not, it is certain that we face damnation. We do not have to take responsibility for our actions because if we repent and accept the notion that someone else has died for our sins, then we are off the hook. If we kill in the name of God, all is forgiven. It is okay to stand by and witness genocide as long as we attend our churches and pray for their souls. If something wicked this way comes, it is because we have not prayed enough or filled the plate to overflowing. If something great happens, it is not because of human achievement or the power of our own will, it is because Gods grace descended upon us. Does this mean that there are not well meaning members of these churches, mosques or temples? Of course not! But as long as people believe that they do not control their present or future, they will not act responsibly towards each other or towards the environment. Dr. John Demartini indicated that mans number one fear, that which keeps us from creating our own reality, is the belief that we are breaking the moral and ethical standards of some perceived established authority. In this case, that authority has been religious institutions that claim superior dogma and superior interpretation of the words of the worlds greatest spiritual masters. If there is a siege, it is one of the human spirit seeking truths long suppressed and hidden in an attempt to break down the walls of religious hypocrisy. It is said, All that is hidden will be revealed. This revelation will be one that contains the concept that none will be left behind as humanity seeks a greater and deeper understanding of the Universal truths that guide our existence. Has anyone ever heard of a Buddhist crusade or inquisition? The path of self-discovery does not require the dogma of organized moral authorities. Philip F.
