Meditation and the goal

Posted on 9:36 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Meditation becomes populer thing these day. Many people need peace and an escape from a sense of fatigue and stress. and they get quiet when doing meditation. What and hoe meditation exist? let us refer to the following article.
Meditation is an ancient ritual that is perfect for individuals seeking a bit of peace, quiet, and inner reflection into their daily lives. However, many individuals erroneously believe they do not have the appropriate time to devote to meditation. This practice does not require a special room and hours upon hours of inner reflection to be done properly and receive the most results. In fact, meditation can be done in any quiet corner, including your living room, office, hotel room, or even the airplane. In order to achieve the proper meditation in some of these places, you may need to practice certain techniques or bring along special devices that will block noise and ensure quiet for your designated meditation time.

Consider joining a meditation group so that you can effectively learn the methods of meditation before you attempt to meditate in unusual surroundings. The techniques and methods you learn through a learned meditation instructor will help you accomplish your own personal goals of meditation and inner exploration.

Meditation does not have to be incredibly time consuming. Make it a point to dedicate a few minutes each day to your meditation goals and spend some time reflecting inward. Mornings are excellent times to begin meditation, since you at the most at ease during this time and your home is probably the quietest. Consider waking up before the rest of your household to snag a few much needed minutes along in order to successfully complete your meditation process. This is critical for both men and women with children who find it hard to meditate amidst the noises and demands of children

When you are on the go, do not leave your meditation practices at home! Consider snapping up a pair of noise canceling headphones to block out noise on trains, planes, or automobiles. This will allow you the greatest sense of peace and quiet so that you can continue with your meditation techniques. Bring along a special meditation soundtrack of familiar tunes to which you can also block out unnecessary background noise in order to meditate.

Meditation can be an excellent way to unwind after a long day of traveling, so consider taking time to practice your techniques once you reach your destination. For individuals who are constantly calling hotel rooms home, it can be quite easy to miss your personal meditation space. For this reason, carry a small token or a few items with you on your travels to remind you of home. Consider bringing a favorite blanket, pillow, or mat to aid you in your meditation practices. Also, bring along a photograph of your family or friends to help with the homesickness.

Use scents to transport you to a more serene world. Aromatherapy has been used in conjunction with meditation for thousands of years. Consider beginning your meditation to comforting or exotic smells of incense or candles. For individuals on the go, consider bringing along travel candles or a vial of essential oil that you can leave open to pervade the atmosphere.

Posted on 3:45 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Stay in good health is everyone's dream. How we will carry out activities to support the life, work to support themselves, to families, communities and nations, charity events and worship if not supported with health.

Health is affected by many factors. There are innate factors, acquired factors and environmental factors. There can be addressed or disiasati, but there should be taken literally. If you stay in this city should be ready to breathe in air pollution. Worked nights must sacrifice sleep that night and so forth.

From one perspective we can see there are at least 3 groups of people to be healthy.

1. Imbued with a healthy birth and always naturally

2. Unconsciously to be healthy, because doing so the body becomes healthy.

3. Trying to be healthy

Each person may have one, but can all three. What is important is that each person must realize that to be healthy in most people do not come naturally like in the first group. Also only a small part in group two. That most of the people to be healthy as it sought in that direction as a group of three.

Need a lot of tricks to be done to make the body healthy and fit in the circumstances, such as lifestyle, diet, exercise and others. These moves is not really new stuff from the past everyone knew, but unfortunately it's just done a small part of it! Ask yourself or have seen in a small environment such as family, friends or neighbors. This paper aims to remind people the importance of exercise or sport. Exercise

Exercise (exercise) or exercise our bodies need to maintain health and stamina, but often overlooked people. Everyone knows that it is important to maintain health and stamina, but the most need for it only until the desire, discourse knowledge. Many others have done, but it is not done regularly. Pernyataaan that merits attention from health experts is, do the exercises only once a week (ie aerobic or mass sports activities in the office) is actually useless, or little value to health. The truth is to be done routinely and regularly. Periods depending on the severity of exercise performed.

As an illustration to dikemukanan, when the exercise was only about half an hour, can be performed daily with rest on Sundays. When it was done in about an hour and quite intensive, then 3 or 4 times a week is enough.

This means training all day or 7 times a week is also not good. There must be periods of rest, because the body needs it. . Similarly, if connected with the activities of one year. It is better to have a rest period in a couple months. For those who are Muslims, the month of fasting and after perhaps a suitable time to break them.

Any exercise done must be done regularly and periodically, there is a new health benefits.

Therefore, for those who are able, join in the fitness club will be better, because the instructors will guide it. But for those who do not enter the club, make your own or within their own group as well as good. Only needed to discipline. Indeed, this (discipline) is also the most difficult to enforce!

The main problem here is in fact often people find that exercise actually work, not fun even boring! Apparently the body so tired, be tired, inviting injury and other reasons.

For those who have been able to beat him and make it a habit, it does become fun. Scientifically shown the influence of endorphins produced by the body in people who do it regularly.

It would be more easily overcome when there in groups or types of sports recreation association that is done, such as badminton, tennis, table tennis, baske, golf and the like. Develop aerobic capacity

Aerobic, defined as the use of oxygen by the body. This illustrates the level of effectiveness in getting one's body and sends oxygen to the cells or muscles of the body that will be used in the procurement of energy and remove waste products of combustion from the results of metabolic waste.

About Vitamin B complex

Posted on 11:44 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

What do you think that vitamins? whether the vitamin is important for your body? Why are vitamins important for the body? and how to get a good source of vitamins? let us find out.

Vitamins are a huge part of our society. Although many vitamins help the body reach and maintain optimal health, one of the most beneficial vitamins is B complex. Comprised of a group of vitamins to include vitamin B1 or Thiamine, B2, which is the same as Riboflavin, B3 or Niacin, B5 or Panthothenic Acid, B6, which is Pyridoxine, B7 or Biotin, B12 or Cobalamin, and folic acid, PABA, Inositol, and Choline. Due to the rich nutrients that come from vitamin B complex, every cell of the body, especially the nerve cells receive benefit.

Unfortunately, a deficiency in B vitamins can cause muscle weakness and edema. Although a number of people live with a vitamin deficiency, the worst are folic acids, which are needed to help improve mood while fighting neural tube defects in unborn children, which is why vitamin B complex is so important for pregnant women. In addition, deficiency in vitamins B6 or B12 results in depressed mood and fatigue.

Keep in mind that with B vitamins, they are not stored well in the body. Then, if you consume caffeine or alcohol, these vitamins tend to become depleted quickly. However, there are other important benefits found in B vitamins such as healthy skin, strong, shiny hair, stronger muscle and bones, and healthy mucosal membranes, especially those found around the mouth. Vitamin B complex also improves intestinal health and bowel function, boosts mood, decreases irritability, helps with insomnia, promotes better sleep, improves liver and brain cell function, and can reduces PMS symptoms.<




Although vitamin B complex is found in foods we eat, most are lost during the cooking process. Therefore, if you want to get those most out of your vitamins, we recommend you take a supplement of 50 mg in B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B12, Choline, PABA, and Inositol. In addition, adding 400 mcg of folic acid would be highly beneficial to your overall health and wellness. Remember, your body needs the right type of vitamins so you can function optimally, as well as live a long life. By eating a well balanced diet rich in vitamins and supplements, you will feel better.

Some of the foods you can add to your diet for the B vitamins include leafy green vegetables, fish and seafood, whole grains, poultry and other meats, dairy products, eggs, citrus, specifically oranges, and beans and peas. Since B vitamins make red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout your body, these are crucial.

Meditation for Health

Posted on 11:33 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , , ,

Meditation, is a way to calm down and mind. what you know about meditation and how meditation melakukkan? Let's look at articles on the following meditation.

Meditation Defined
Meditational exercises primarily use the experience of the body and thought as a means to reconnect with the environment and its healing power. Meditation, when practiced frequently, has been proven to promote inner peace and wellness. Meditation is also a mental practice in which the mind is directed to one area, often the breath. It draws its energy from the human connection to nature and creates a sense of unity or one-ness with it.

This unity has been shown to increase communication with the spirit of the body. It has also been known to allow positive thoughts in and to stimulate positive physiological and psychological effects. Meditation techniques are easy to learn and can easily be incorporated into any lifestyle. If practiced regularly, meditation will bring balance to your body and mind.

General benefits of meditation and breathing exercises include:

• Deep inner peace
• Improved self-esteem
• Increased creativity
• Physical health/healing
• Reduced medical care
• Slowing/reversal of aging
• Reversing of heart disease
• Stimulation of the body's immune system
• Reduced stress

I have found there is really no one right ways to meditate. Here are a couple of my favorite meditational exercises that will get you started. Remember, there is no wrong path here. Try these, or simply sit in silence for 20 minutes, daily. You'll be glad you did.

Meditative Grounding Exercise

• Sit with your legs crossed in a comfortable (Indian-style) position with your hands relaxed on you lap. Close your eyes and imagine a beam of light dropping from the base of your spine through the earth and connecting you to its center.

• Allow this beam of light to expand in width until it is wider than your own body and envelopes it. This is your personal space.

This exercise places you totally in your body and reminds you that you are anchored to the earth. Remember, the more grounded you are, the more aware you are. Sense the presence of your higher self: listen to its voice.<


Energy Cleaning Exercise

Now that you are grounded, it's important that you cleanse this personal space. Often we collect other people's energies and are not aware of it. We do this both through interaction with others and basic activities of daily living.

• To remove all foreign energies from your space, imagine holding a brush and sweeping away the debris.

• Allow the debris to fall to the ground and become washed away. Let the light from the previous exercise envelop your body and spread its healing energy to the edge of your space, forming a protective force field around you.

Cleaning out the area surrounding your body will keep you grounded, define your personal boundaries and declare your space. Then choose who and what you wish to enter you space, keeping disease and illness out.

Breathing Exercise

• Follow your breath as you slowly inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Count with each exhale until you reach 10 then begin again at one.

• If you find yourself past 10, acknowledge this and begin again at one from wherever you are.

• Imagine your body's cells being replaced with fresh, pure oxygen and positive healing energy from this power source. Picture yourself exhaling old cells, stress, illness and worries.

• Let your thoughts pass through your mind like drifting clouds. Let them in and gently let them pass through. If the mind should harbor a negative thought, refocus on the breath.

• Thank any persistent negative thoughts for coming into your mind then gently let them go.

• Listen only for the positive, pronounced voice; the voice of your body.

Retrieve Your Energy Exercise

Since foreign energy often resides in your space, let's also assume that you leave energy in other places. After completing the preceding exercises it is necessary to re-energize and call energy back.

• Imagine you have an energy magnet used to attract your energy back to you. Visualize energy flowing back to you, filling your body with light, health and empowerment.

• Allow a few minutes for the process.

Journal Questions:

1. Record in your journal any problem or trouble you may be having – emotional, physical or otherwise. Let problems go and give them over to your meditation.

2. Do you notice solutions coming to you throughout the day? Do you notice with regular meditation that your body and mind are becoming calmer and clearer?

Ideas To Consider:

1. Make time for your spirit daily. Exhibit behaviors and self talk that show your reverence for yourself.

Hopefully helpful and useful

Treatment for Malignant Mesothelioma

Posted on 11:25 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

According to you what to dilakukkan when you know you are suffering from malignant mesothelioma? yes, the best answer is to do the treatment. let us discuss how to do your treatment for malignant mesothelioma

After the tumor is found and staged, your cancer care team will discuss your treatment options with you. The main factors in selecting a treatment for mesotheliomas are the size and location of the tumor, whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other organs, and your health and your personal preferences.

Because mesothelioma is a rare cancer, it has been hard for doctors to compare the value of different treatments. Only a few large clinical trials of treatments for mesothelioma have been reported to date. In addition, many doctors have little or no experience treating this disease. They usually refer patients with this cancer to specialists who treat a large number of mesothelioma patients at major medical centers.

Another problem with treating mesothelioma is that it typically does not grow as a single tumor mass. It tends to spread along nearby surfaces, nerves, and blood vessels. Because of this it can be extremely difficult, except in rare situations, to completely get rid of it with surgery and/or radiation.

In many cases the treatment of mesothelioma may result in only modest benefit. Before deciding on a treatment option, it's very important to have an idea of its likely benefits and possible risks. You will probably have many questions about the treatment options suggested. Mesotheliomas are rare, so if time permits it is often a good idea to seek an opinion from a doctor who has a lot of experience in treating people with these cancers. A second opinion can provide more information and help you feel more confident about the treatment plan that you choose.

False Identity Depression

Posted on 9:41 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

The following article will discuss about a person's mental condition called "Depression". what you know challenged Depression? let us refer to the following article

Who is more prone to become affected by or suffer from psychological problems? the answer nearly everyone. Depression in the United States alone has left its mark on at least 17 million adults who have experienced a bout of clinical depression at some stage. Suffering from this disorder can interrupt any plans a person may have on leading a normal life. (Depending how serious the symptoms for each patient) depression affects us all in different ways some cases more severe than others.

Serious depression needs nurturing and this can be done with medical help
What to expect if depression takes hold, well it can cause unbearable pain emotionally also expect your life to turn upside down if the depression escalates out of control. You are not on your own if you have been diagnosed with depression people around you feel your pain also therefore affected too.

Similar is bipolar disorder which is another form of depression. Bipolar was once named manic-depressive disorder, mood swings that came with bipolar differed in many ways, one being is the manic highs which were noted as a high risk factor for self inflicted harm to the patient.

Without doubt a patients thoughts and feelings change dramatically if in possession of this psychological condition. Depression has often been mistaken with the feeling of sadness or lethargic bouts; these common symptoms do not necessarily mean this is depression they relate more to every day stress.




Stress normally withers away after a few days but if you find you are still saddened and the fatigue factor still strong and there is no sign of these symptoms easing up then seek medical help as it could be the start of depression
Unfortunately in some cases depression goes unnoticed and because of this approx two thirds of depressed patients are not receiving the right medication or treatment. Sadly this is an unfortunate predicament because with the right medical treatment approx 80% of depression sufferers will have found light at the end of the tunnel.

Depression has been known to take lives; patients struggle to adjust to their new found way of life living with a burden that some believe are with them till eternity, a similar feeling to having a Siamese twin attached till death do us part. Well now we have modern medicines in a modern world that can help you in your separation from depression which has driven you to take on a false identity where the laughing on the outside is overpowered by all the crying within.

Just like the Siamese twins medics have now proven that with the right medical treatment they can UN-attach the attached.

Talk to someone if you have reason for concern on your health or that of someone close and let those with the knowledge on depression help you in your quest to lead a normal life once again.

Benign tumors of the mesothelium

Posted on 11:59 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

After discussing about malignant mesothelioma now let us learn about the benign mesothelioma.

It is important not to confuse malignant mesothelioma with benign tumors that also start in the mesothelium.
Adenomatoid tumor

This benign tumor can develop in the mesothelium of certain female and male reproductive organs. In men, it often starts in the epididymis (a small collection of ducts that carry sperm cells out of the testicle). In women, this tumor may begin in the fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus or womb).
Benign cystic mesothelioma

This is another non-cancerous tumor that may begin in mesothelium near female reproductive organs.
Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura

This type of benign tumor can form in the pleura surrounding the lungs. It used to be called benign fibrous mesothelioma, but doctors now know that this tumor actually starts from tissue under the mesothelium and not from mesothelial cells. This disease is usually benign, but about 1 in 10 are cancerous. A similar disease starting in the peritoneum is called solitary fibrous tumor of the peritoneum.

These benign tumors are typically removed by surgery, and there is usually no need for additional treatment.

Malignant Mesothelioma

Posted on 10:49 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Mesothelioma has 2 types and 2 properties. malignant mesothelioma and benign mesothelioma. Let's learn about malignant mesothelioma before and after that we just point to the benign.
 
A cancerous tumor of the mesothelium is called a malignant mesothelioma, although this is often simply shortened to just mesothelioma. Mesotheliomas can start in 4 main areas in the body.

    * Pleural mesotheliomas start in the chest cavity. They account for about 3 out of 4 mesotheliomas.
    * Peritoneal mesotheliomas begin in the abdomen. They make most of the remaining cases.
    * Pericardial mesotheliomas start in the cavity around the heart and are very rare.
    * Mesotheliomas of the tunica vaginalis are very rare tumors that start in the covering layer of the testicles, which is actually an outpouching of peritoneum into the scrotum.

Malignant mesotheliomas can also be classified into 4 types based on how the cells are arranged when looked at under a microscope:

    * Epithelioid: About 50% to 60% of mesotheliomas are of this type. It tends to have a better outlook (prognosis) than the other types.
    * Sarcomatoid (fibrous): About 10% to 20% of mesotheliomas are of this type.
    * Mixed (biphasic): These mesotheliomas have both epithelioid and sarcomatoid areas. They make up about 30% to 40% of mesotheliomas.
    * Desmoplastic: These are rare.

Mesothelioma

Posted on 6:06 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,


What do you know about meshotelioma? in this article we will discuss about what is mesothelioma.

What is malignant mesothelioma?

Malignant mesothelioma is a cancer that starts in cells in the linings of certain parts of the body, especially the chest or abdomen.

A layer of specialized cells called mesothelial cells lines the inside of the chest, the abdomen, and the space around your heart. These cells also cover the outer surface of most of your internal organs. The lining formed by these cells is called mesothelium.

The mesothelium helps protect your organs by making a special lubricating fluid that allows organs to move around. For example, this fluid makes it easier for the lungs to move inside the chest during breathing. The mesothelium has different names in different parts of the body:

    * In the chest it is called the pleura.
    * In the abdomen it is called the peritoneum.
    * In the space around the heart it is called the pericardium.

Tumors of the mesothelium can be non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant).

About Diarrhea disease

Posted on 9:28 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Disease does cause many negative effects to the body and also mentally. one of them is a diarrhea disease, diarrhea has the effect, among others, makes the body limp, less powerful and also does not fit. Let's find out about diarrhea and conditions contained.
Listen
Read phonetically

What is diarrhea?

Diarrhoea is the passing of increased amounts (more than 300g in 24 hours) of loose stools.

It is often caused by a virus or bacteria and can be acute (short term) or chronic (long term) - lasting more than two to three weeks.

Most people are affected by diarrhea at some time in their lives. It is often accompanied by stomach pains, feeling sick and vomiting. It is usually due to consumption of drinking water contaminated with bacteria, undercooked meat and eggs or inadequate kitchen hygiene - in other words, an infection.
NetDoctor/Geir
Diarrhea normally only lasts for a few days, but it can be very stressful when it occurs.

Globally, seven children die of diarrhea every minute, mainly due to poor quality drinking water and malnutrition, which still affects the majority of the world population.
What causes diarrhea?

    * Diarrhea is mainly caused by bacterial and viral infections and food poisoning.
    * Diarrhea can also be caused by bacteria or viruses that have been transmitted from person to person. For this reason, it is important to wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet.
    * You cannot assess the quality of food or detect contamination by its smell or the way it looks. Food which is 'off' might be obvious but contaminated food usually looks and tastes fine.

Diarrhea occurs when the micro-organisms irritate the mucous membrane of the small or large intestine resulting in an abnormally large quantity of water in the motions. The irritated gut becomes very active, contracting excessively and irregularly (colic). This can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats. In some cases the motions may include some blood.
Food poisoning

Certain bacteria (usually staphylococci) irritate the digestive tract by producing toxins. These toxins affect the mucous membrane much sooner, a few hours after consumption, compared with bacterial infection. For this reason, people with inflammation or sores on their hands should not prepare food for others.
Other causes

When taking antibiotics, many people suffer diarrhea, which may continue after the antibiotic course has finished. The diarrhea occurs because the antibiotic alters the intestinal bacterial environment. It is not an allergic reaction. In rare cases it requires medical treatment.
Chronic diarrhea

Chronic diarrhea can be a symptom of many disorders:

    * irritable bowel syndrome
    * acute, recurrent or chronic intestinal infections
    * chronic intestinal inflammation (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease)
    * chronic pancreatitis, which produces fatty stools
    * laxatives
    * lactose intolerance
    * improper diet (consumption of too much alcohol, coffee or sweets)
    * metabolic disorders such as diabetes and thyrotoxicosis
    * intolerance to gluten (wheat protein).

What are the symptoms of diarrhea?

    * Frequent, watery motions.
    * Loss of appetite.
    * Nausea, vomiting.
    * Stomach pains.
    * Fever.
    * Dehydration.

If the diarrhea lasts more than three weeks, it is considered chronic.
What are the warning signs?

    * Blood in the motions.
    * Pus in the motions (yellow mucus).
    * Inability to drink liquids because of vomiting.
    * Dehydration - symptoms include excreting small amounts of dark urine, drowsiness, dry mucous membranes and thirst. Dehydration as a result of diarrhea is a particular risk for young children and the elderly.
    * Pronounced drowsiness due to dehydration or intoxication.
    * Acute diarrhea in infants.
    * Acute diarrhea in very old people.

What can be done at home?

    * In cases of acute diarrhea it would be wise to drink more fluids (3-4 litres a day), preferably containing sugar and salts. Ready-mixed rehydration sachets (eg Dioralyte, Rehidrat) can be bought from the pharmacist and added to drinking water.
    * A sufficient intake has been obtained when the urine becomes light yellow in colour.
    * Eat something containing salt, such as crisps or soup.
    * Maintain good standards of hygiene.
    * Eat normally as soon as your appetite returns but if you have suffered an acute attack of diarrhea, avoid foods containing milk for a couple of days.

When should the doctor be consulted?

    * When one of the warning signs outlined above is present.
    * When the diarrhea has occurred during or following a trip abroad - travellers' diarrhea.
    * When the diarrhea has lasted more than one to two weeks.

How is diarrhea treated?

Diarrhea can usually be treated safely 'at home' and normally goes away by itself within a week. Treatment with antibiotics is therefore rarely needed, and may cause side effects, such as chronic diarrhea.

Antidiarrheal agents, such as loperamide (eg Imodium), may be used, except in cases where there is blood or pus in the motions or if the diarrhea is accompanied by high fever.

It has not been proven that freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria can prevent travellers' diarrhea.

During visits abroad, boil all drinking water, or drink water from sealed bottles only. In addition, you should only eat vegetables that have been boiled or peeled and avoid ice-cream and salads (which may have been washed with unclean water).

Acne-Prone Skin Care

Posted on 3:11 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Puberty is a period where many of the hormones in the body grow. this has positive and negative effects, one negative effect is acne. so many teenagers who have acne and when it was healing acne breakouts eat it very difficult, in this article let us learn about our care of acne.

Acne is not confined to teenagers and puberty, it also prevalent in adults and in women mostly during pregnancy. Acne is often characterized by pimples and breakouts all over the skin in large numbers, frequently seen on the face and the back. It is caused due to the over activity of the sebaceous glands or the oil producing glands. When it combines with dead skin cells, hormones and bacteria, the oily substances are trapped inside the pores and causes swelling. The lumps often have a crown of a white head or a black head or even red lumps, which are very tender. Acne, if not treated on time, can even lead to scarring. Some acne go so deep inside the skin that they form into nodules and cysts, which leaves scars which may not disappear even after healing. Acne can be caused due to stress, fatigue, and cosmetics and even due to humidity, although nothing has been proved till date.

Do's and Don'ts on the acne prone skin:

Professional treatment is the best for acne, the earlier the treatment provided, the better. A good doctor will be in a position to treat acne-using medications by controlling the over-active sebaceous glands, hormonal imbalance, or even stress.

It is good not to squeeze or break the pimples and acne, as it will lead to spread the infection and can make the area swell and might even lead to permanent scarring.




Usage of oily cosmetics are also not recommended, as the acne prone skin already is oily enough, usage of such cosmetics will add up to it. Instead of using oily cosmetics, it is better to go for water based ones, which might be less harsh. It is always good to remove make up at night, if left on the whole night might cause irritation to the skin.

The acne prone skin should be pampered with gentle wash and pat dry. Vigorous scrubbing needs to be avoided as it only worsens the condition and may even block the pores.

Regular shampooing is recommended as it may reduce the pimple appearing on the forehead, it is good to avoid hair products like gels and pomades, as they are oily.

Cosmetics which are non comedogenic should be used. Acnes sometimes can make the skin hypersensitive, hence sunscreens can be used to avoid sunburns. It is good to avoid tanning, as it cannot make the skin clearer.

Over-the-counter products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can curb mild acne.

About Chinese Herbal

Posted on 5:53 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

China is a big country with a population that much, besides known for big wall of china the country is also known to have a great herbal treatment. Chinese herbal concoction known around the world and acknowledged powerful tool for curing disease. This article adapted from chinese herbal

Description

Chinese herbal medicine is a major aspect of traditional Chinese medicine, which focuses on restoring a balance of energy, body, and spirit to maintain health rather than treating a particular disease or medical condition. Herbs are used with the goal of restoring balance by nourishing the body.
Overview

Because of the large number of Chinese herbs used and the different uses recommended by practitioners, it is difficult to comment on Chinese herbal medicine as a whole. There may be some individual herbs or extracts that play a role in the prevention and treatment of cancer and other diseases when combined with conventional treatment. However, more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of these individual substances.
How is it promoted for use?

Chinese herbal medicine is not based on conventional Western concepts of medical diagnosis and treatment. It treats patients’ main complaints or the patterns of their symptoms rather than the underlying causes. Practitioners attempt to prevent and treat imbalances, such as those caused by cancer and other diseases, with complex combinations of herbs, minerals, and plant extracts.

Chinese herbal medicine uses a variety of herbs in different combinations to restore balance to the body, such as astragalus, ginkgo, ginseng, green tea, and eleuthero (also known as "Siberian ginseng"). Herbal preparations are said to prevent and treat hormone disturbances, infections, breathing disorders, and a vast number of other ailments and diseases. Some practitioners claim herbs have the power to prevent and treat a variety of types of cancer.

Most Chinese herbalists do not claim to cure cancer. They use herbal medicine with conventional treatments prescribed by oncologists, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. They claim that herbal remedies can help ease the side effects of conventional cancer therapies, control pain, improve quality of life, strengthen the immune system, and in some cases, stop tumor growth and spread.

One aspect of Chinese herbal medicine aims to restore or strengthen immunity and resistance to disease. Treatments undertaken with this goal are called Fu Zheng or Fu Zhen and are given as complementary therapy intended to reduce the side effects from conventional Western anticancer treatments.
What does it involve?

In China, more than 3,200 herbs and 300 mineral and animal extracts are used in more than 400 different formulas. Herbal formulations may consist of 4 to 12 different ingredients, to be taken in the form of teas, powders, pills, tinctures, or syrups.

Chinese herbal remedies are usually made up of a number of herbs and mineral and animal extracts. Typically, 1 or 2 herbs are included that are said to have the greatest effect on the problem being treated. Other ingredients in the formula treat minor aspects of the problem, direct the formula to specific parts of the body, and help the other herbs work more efficiently.

With the increase in popularity of herbal medicine, many Chinese herbs are now sold individually and in formulas. In the United States, Chinese herbs and herbal formulas may be purchased in health food stores, some pharmacies, and from herbal medicine practitioners.

Before choosing a mixture of herbs for a patient, the traditional Chinese practitioner will typically ask about symptoms and examine the patient, often focusing on the skin, hair, tongue, eyes, pulse, and voice, in order to detect imbalances in the body.
What is the history behind it?

Native cultures all over the world have traditionally used herbs to maintain health and treat illnesses. Chinese herbal medicine developed as part of Chinese culture from tribal roots. By 200 BC, traditional Chinese medicine was firmly established, and by the first century AD, a listing of medicinal herbs and herbal formulations and their uses had been developed.

The classic Chinese book on medicinal herbs was written during the Ming Dynasty (1152-1578) by Li Shi-Zhen. It listed nearly 2,000 herbs and extracts. By 1990, the latest edition of The Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China listed more than 500 single herbs or extracts and nearly 300 complex formulations.

As Western conventional medicine spread to the East, some traditional Chinese medical practices began to be regarded as folklore. However, since 1949, the Chinese government has supported the use of both traditional and Western medicine. Chinese herbal medicine first came to widespread attention in the United States in the 1970s, when President Richard Nixon visited China. Today, at least 30 states license practitioners of Oriental medicine and more than 25 colleges of Oriental medicine exist in the United States.
What is the evidence?

Some herbs and herbal formulations have been evaluated in animal, laboratory, and human studies in both the East and the West with wide-ranging results. Research results vary widely depending on the specific herb, but several have shown activity against cancer cells in laboratory dishes and in some animals.

There is some evidence from randomized clinical trials that some Chinese herbs may contribute to longer survival rates, reduction of side effects, and lower risk of recurrence for some types of cancer, especially when combined with conventional treatment. Many of these studies, however, are published in Chinese, and some of them do not list the specific herbs that were tested. Some of these journal articles do not describe how the studies were conducted completely enough to determine whether they use methods comparable to those used in Western clinical research. However, there are some notable exceptions, such as PC-SPES, a mixture including several Chinese herbs that has been studied in considerable detail in U.S. clinical trials (see the document PC-SPES). More controlled research is needed to determine the role of Chinese herbal medicine in cancer treatment and prevention.
Are there any possible problems or complications?

These substances may not have been thoroughly tested to find out how they interact with medicines, foods, herbs, or supplements. Even though some reports of interactions and harmful effects may be published, full studies of interactions and effects are not often available. Because of these limitations, any information on ill effects and interactions below should be considered incomplete.

Because of the variety of herbs used in Chinese herbal medicine, there is a potential for negative interactions with prescribed drugs. Some herbal preparations contain other ingredients which are not always identified. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a statement warning diabetics to avoid several specific brands of Chinese herbal products because they illegally contain the prescription diabetes drugs glyburide and phenformin. FDA warnings have been issued for PC-SPES, and production of that product was stopped because it contained the prescription drugs indomethacin, diethylstilbestrol, and warfarin.

Similar concerns have been raised about Chinese herbal products for other diseases, which have been found to contain toxic contaminants and prescription drugs such as diazepam (Valium). Tests of Chinese herbal remedies by the California Department of Health found that nearly one third contained prescription drugs or were contaminated with toxic metals such as mercury, arsenic, and lead. Concerns about Chinese herbal products have been raised in other countries as well. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare reported that some Chinese herbal products contained contaminants that caused severe and sometimes fatal liver and thyroid problems.

Of the more than 5,000 medicinal plant species in China, a small number are potentially toxic to the human body. Toxic herbs may mistakenly be harvested and shipped for herbal medicines and can cause harmful reactions in those who take the medicines. In addition, the herbal formulas used are often complex and difficult for manufacturers and practitioners to formulate correctly. For example, in the case of an herbal product intended to promote weight loss, manufacturers confused 2 Chinese herbs with similar names and mistakenly used the wrong one, which resulted in severe kidney damage that was fatal in some cases.

Any herb can cause allergic reactions in a few people. Those who are allergic to certain plants, including some plant-based foods, may be more likely to react to herbs.

Although the long history of traditional Chinese herbal medicine is sometimes interpreted as evidence of safety, it is important to note that many of these herbs are no longer produced and used as they were in the past. An herb may have been used safely under the supervision of a traditional practitioner. However, if the same herbs are used in higher doses or in doses of different concentrations, perhaps over a longer period and without medical guidance, the risks involved in taking those herbs change. In addition, toxic substances or prescription drugs can be introduced during the manufacturing process, either intentionally or inadvertently.

Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine licensed by a state board can provide advice on the safest sources for herbs. Because some herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine may cause dangerous interactions with conventional medications, patients should talk with their doctors and pharmacists before using any of the herbs. Relying on this type of treatment alone and avoiding or delaying conventional medical care for cancer may have serious health consequences.

China Herb: a Therapeutic to Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.

Posted on 5:38 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

in the following article let's talk about post-menopausal osteoporosis. This is an info from china, can be Also in chinese herb

Two recent studies in China revealed that Chinese herbs for Bones - traditionally used as a kidney tonic - may in fact offer a therapeutic aid to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.

The first trial, conducted at the Union hospital, Tongji Medical University in Wuhan, China. 34 patients participated in a double blind, controlled study. Seventeen post-menopausal women were given a Chinese herbal formula for bones and a further seventeen post-menopausal women were given calcium treatment and used as a control group. After three months, the results showed that 92% of the patients in the Chinese herb group had improved. Six months after the treatment the bone density of the lumbar vertebrae of 69% of the patients was significantly higher than before the treatment and the bone density of the control group was considerably lowe

The researchers concluded that Chinese herbs for bones could prevent and improve post-menopausal osteoporosis by improving bone formation and retarding the decline of bone density.

Similar results were found in a follow-up controlled study at the Tongji Medical University, Wuhan, China where 43 patients with menopause within a period of 5 years were randomly divided into two groups; one group to receive the Chinese herbal formulas for bones and the other used as a control group. The participants’ bone metabolism, serum estradiol and forearm bone density were taken before and after treatment. The results showed that five months after the treatment, the women in the treatment group showed improved bone mineral content whereas those women in the control group showed decreased mineral densities. Furthermore, the ratio of fasting urinary calcium and hydroxyproline to creatinine was lower than before the treatment and significantly lower than that of the control group. The researchers concluded that the study results indicate that the Chinese herbs was linked to a declining of bone mineral loss in post-menopausal women.

About Diabetes

Posted on 7:05 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

Diabetes is a popular disease in decade now. Diabetes have effect until death. This disease is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and lack of exercise, so many germs that appear in the body. so let us learn what is diabetes, the following

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, that result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes (as it will be in this article) was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine.

Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level. In patients with diabetes, the absence or insufficient production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime.

What is the impact of diabetes?

Over time, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, and nerve damage. These types of damage are the result of damage to small vessels, referred to as microvascular disease. Diabetes is also an important factor in accelerating the hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), leading to strokes, coronary heart disease, and other large blood vessel diseases. This is referred to as macrovascular disease. Diabetes affects approximately 17 million people (about 8% of the population) in the United States. In addition, an estimated additional 12 million people in the United States have diabetes and don't even know it.

From an economic perspective, the total annual cost of diabetes in 1997 was estimated to be 98 billion dollars in the United States. The per capita cost resulting from diabetes in 1997 amounted to $10,071.00; while healthcare costs for people without diabetes incurred a per capita cost of $2,699.00. During this same year, 13.9 million days of hospital stay were attributed to diabetes, while 30.3 million physician office visits were diabetes related. Remember, these numbers reflect only the population in the United States. Globally, the statistics are staggering.

Diabetes is the third leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer.

What causes diabetes?

Insufficient production of insulin (either absolutely or relative to the body's needs), production of defective insulin (which is uncommon), or the inability of cells to use insulin properly and efficiently leads to hyperglycemia and diabetes. This latter condition affects mostly the cells of muscle and fat tissues, and results in a condition known as "insulin resistance." This is the primary problem in type 2 diabetes. The absolute lack of insulin, usually secondary to a destructive process affecting the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas, is the main disorder in type 1 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, there also is a steady decline of beta cells that adds to the process of elevated blood sugars. Essentially, if someone is resistant to insulin, the body can, to some degree, increase production of insulin and overcome the level of resistance. After time, if production decreases and insulin cannot be released as vigorously, hyperglycemia develops.

Glucose is a simple sugar found in food. Glucose is an essential nutrient that provides energy for the proper functioning of the body cells. Carbohydrates are broken down in the small intestine and the glucose in digested food is then absorbed by the intestinal cells into the bloodstream, and is carried by the bloodstream to all the cells in the body where it is utilized. However, glucose cannot enter the cells alone and needs insulin to aid in its transport into the cells. Without insulin, the cells become starved of glucose energy despite the presence of abundant glucose in the bloodstream. In certain types of diabetes, the cells' inability to utilize glucose gives rise to the ironic situation of "starvation in the midst of plenty". The abundant, unutilized glucose is wastefully excreted in the urine.

Insulin is a hormone that is produced by specialized cells (beta cells) of the pancreas. (The pancreas is a deep-seated organ in the abdomen located behind the stomach.) In addition to helping glucose enter the cells, insulin is also important in tightly regulating the level of glucose in the blood. After a meal, the blood glucose level rises. In response to the increased glucose level, the pancreas normally releases more insulin into the bloodstream to help glucose enter the cells and lower blood glucose levels after a meal. When the blood glucose levels are lowered, the insulin release from the pancreas is turned down. It is important to note that even in the fasting state there is a low steady release of insulin than fluctuates a bit and helps to maintain a steady blood sugar level during fasting. In normal individuals, such a regulatory system helps to keep blood glucose levels in a tightly controlled range. As outlined above, in patients with diabetes, the insulin is either absent, relatively insufficient for the body's needs, or not used properly by the body. All of these factors cause elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia).

Impotence is a male disease. Its very important for a man. many different causes of impotence, and we will try to learn how the exit from the disease impotent.


Male impotence affects a small portion of the population, about 10% or so. But until just recently those figures were largely kept quiet due to embarrassment or

reluctance to admit a problem exists. It's a guy thing of course.

help answer that question.

Prescription medications are big business and many Doctors are given incentives to promote the latest prescriptions for impotence treatment. Remember when

Viagra was hot? Doctors offices were stocked with those four pill sample packs, and they were giving them out like candy. Of course all the latest jokes then were

about dirty old men and disgruntled wives. The push for Viagra, Levitra, Cialis and the generic versions of those drugs was on.

So why has a a natural solution to male impotence never become popular before this?

Fact:

A majority of male impotence problems are easily solved with a simple exercise. This impotence remedy can be performed almost anywhere and any time of day.




On a Personal Level:

One incident of male impotence can create concern. Repeat incidents wear down your confidence, create performance anxiety, depression, etc which can cause a

viscous cycle. Few men seek out alternatives to male impotence prescriptions, but because you're reading this article you're in the group who would rather avoid

possible side effects, dependency, and the prohibitive costs of prescriptions!

A Word of Caution:

If your problem stems from an addiction you'll need to make some difficult decisions and lifestyle changes if sex is important to you. But typically all that's needed is a

little effort on your part and a proven program to follow.

Male impotence generally stems from misunderstanding the facts. If you don't have any serious physical trauma like diabetic nerve damage or severed muscle, there

is a good chance you can correct the problem quite quickly.

About Hemorrhoids

Posted on 1:33 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

what you know about hemorrhoids? let us find out about hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are an incredibly common medical condition and yet it is something which is rarely talked about. It is believed that 50% of Americans have this condition by the time they reach the age of 50 and yet only 500,000 of these people seek medical help for the problem. Of these, between 10 and 20% require surgery to have their hemorrhoids removed.

Hemorrhoids are caused by the veins in the rectum and anus becoming swollen and inflamed. The location of the piles can be internal or external and the symptoms vary dependent on this. If the hemorrhoids are internal, they can go undetected as pain receptors are not present internally. The only evidence of the problem can be blood in the bowel movements as they pass through the area. External piles are widely known to resemble a bunch of grapes and can be extremely painful for the sufferer. Of the two types, it would appear that internal hemorrhoids are the better of the two to have as you may not even know it. However, external piles can be easily treated whereas internal piles, when left undetected, can result in more serious complications.

If an internal hemorrhoid becomes severely distended over time it can be pushed out of the anus and so be visible externally. This is very unpleasant as it means that the internal passage is obstructed, making passing bowel movements difficult and painful. This is called prolapsed hemorrhoids. Once this has happened it is quite common for the anus to spasm and the sphincter can then trap the prolapsed hemorrhoid outside of the body. This then prevents the blood supply from reaching it and it becomes a strangulated hemorrhoid.<




Causes of hemorrhoids can be due to genetic tendency or environmental factors. Some people are born with weak veins in their rectum and so there is little they can do to prevent it from happening. However, for others there are more wide ranging reasons behind the condition.

Pregnancy is widely acknowledged to exacerbate the prevalence of hemorrhoids. During childbirth itself, the excessive straining can cause the problem to occur. This can also be the case when straining forcefully whilst in the bathroom. This can be prevented by increasing fibre in the diet, upping your water intake and reducing that of diuretic drinks. A diuretic generally contains caffeine and this actually dehydrates the body by the intake of the fluid. It is also recommended that you do not sit on the toilet for longer than necessary, for example if you are reading in the bathroom. The position in which you sit on the toilet can also increase the problem.

Many people find that outbreaks of piles can be treated by undertaking the same habits as I suggested to prevent them in the first place. Topical creams are also available which can soothe the area and encourage a reduction in the swelling. Once the swelling has gone down, the hemorrhoids are able to retreat back into the body. However, should these treatments not work within a matter of days, or should you experience prolonged or regular bouts of haemorrhoids you should seek medical attention from your doctor.

About Cancer

Posted on 1:25 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

developing many diseases that currently, and a very rapidly developing is a cancer. what is cancer?

Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.

Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in which they start -- for example, cancer that begins in the colon is called colon cancer; cancer that begins in basal cells of the skin is called basal cell carcinoma.

Cancer types can be grouped into broader categories. The main categories of cancer include:

    * Carcinoma -- cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.


    * Sarcoma -- cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.


    * Leukemia -- cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.


    * Lymphoma and myeloma -- cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system.


    * Central nervous system cancers -- cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord.

Origins of cancer

All cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. To understand cancer, it's helpful to know what happens when normal cells become cancer cells.

The body is made up of many types of cells. These cells grow and divide in a controlled way to produce more cells as they are needed to keep the body healthy. When cells become old or damaged, they die and are replaced with new cells.

However, sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. The genetic material (DNA) of a cell can become damaged or changed, producing mutations that affect normal cell growth and division. When this happens, cells do not die when they should and new cells form when the body does not need them. The extra cells may form a mass of tissue called a tumor.

Picture of the growth of cancer cells

Not all tumors are cancerous; tumors can be benign or malignant.

    * Benign tumors aren't cancerous. They can often be removed, and, in most cases, they do not come back. Cells in benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body.


    * Malignant tumors are cancerous. Cells in these tumors can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another is called metastasis.

Some cancers do not form tumors. For example, leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood.

Acupunture

Posted on 8:28 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

Any kind to healthy living. You can try some way example: massage, acupuncture, and full-blooded.

ACUPUNCTURE AND ACUPRESSURE IS A NATURAL HEALING SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY THE CHINESE AND SUCCESSFULLY PRACTICED IN THEIR CULTURE FOR MANY CENTURIES(CLAIMED TO BE OVER 5,000 YEARS OLD.)THE EARLIEST TEXT IS FROM HUANG-TI-NEI-CHING SU-WEN (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine or Nei-ching) COMPILED FROM 2500 TO100BC.

Acupuncture was first introduced in Europe about 200 years ago by Jesuit priests who served as Catholic missionaries in the East. Most of its modem popularity in America and Europe followed the normalization of relations between the West and the Peoples Republic of China (Healing At Any Price? p. 28).

THE TECHNIQUE IS USED TO UNBLOCK AND REDIRECT ENERGY FLOW THROUGH THE INSERTION OF NEEDLES- -ACUPUNCTURE, OR USE OF PRESSURE-- ACUPRESSURE, AT KEY POINTS ON THE BODY TO BALANCE THE ENERGIES MANY OF THE PLACES THE NEEDLES ARE INSERTED HAVE NO NERVE ENDINGS .IT IS BASED ON THE OCCULTIC SYSTEM OF TAOISM OFTEN CALLED YIN/YANG,CHI OR KI. A COMMON FORCE THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE UNIVERSE.

'The Nei Ching states that 'The entire universe is an oscillation of the forces of Yin and Yang.'... In terms of medicine, the interaction of Yin and Yang is the basis of the energy pervading and activating the body, and an imbalance in the relative amounts of Yin and Yang energy Is seen as the root of all pathology" (The Holistic Health Handbook, pp. 47-50).

THESE SPECIFIC POINTS RUN ALONG WHAT ARE CALLED MERIDIANS (zones). THERE ARE DIFFERING OPINIONS OF HOW MANY OF THESE MERIDIANS THERE ARE. HOLISTIC HEALERS CLAIM 10, ACUPUNTURIST'S SAY THEIR ARE 12 MERIDIANS OR ZONES CORRESPONDING WITH DIFFERENT ORGANS OF THE BODY. THE MERIDIANS RUN UP AND DOWN THE BODY FROM THE TOP OF THE HEAD TO THE TIPS OF THE TOES.

THEY BELIEVE THAT DISEASE RESULTS WHEN THE BODY'S ENERGY FLOW BECOMES UNBALANCED; THEY INSERT LONG, VERY FINE NEEDLES INTO SPECIFIC SPOTS ON THE BODY, OR USE FINGERTIP STIMULATION TO BRING THE ENERGY FLOW INTO BALANCE OR RELEASE THE BLOCKAGES. THIS FREES THE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE TO FLOW FREELY (CHI) GIVING HEALTH TO THE ORGANS AND BODILY SYSTEM. ACUPRESSURE WAS INVENTED FOR THOSE AFRAID OF NEEDLES!

TRUE CHINESE ACUPUNCTURISTS DO NOT NAME SPECIFIC DISEASES IF YOU GO TO THEM FOR TREATMENT--THEY WILL JUST TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE A BLOCK IN A CERTAIN MERIDIAN AND TREAT YOU--THE NEW WESTERN ACUPUNCTURISTS DO NAME SPECIFIC DISEASES--THEY'VE ADAPTED THAT IN RESPECT TO TRADITIONAL WESTERN MEDICINE.

THEY ARE WORKING WITH SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN --- AND IS A SPIRITUAL CONCEPT FOR PHYSICAL AILMENTS.

Dr. Chang, author of The Complete Book of Acupuncture states "According to the Law of the Five Elements. the lungs (metal) support the kidneys (water). If the lungs are indisposed and consequently must use all their energy to sustain their functions, the kidneys must become polluted. Because they do not have enough energy to function. To revitalize the kidneys, one must treat the lungs".

Dr. Chang himself accepts the metaphysical, Taoist basis for acupuncture, he mentions some non-religious explanations. That the needles, "block the impulse from reaching the brain... or generate an Impulse that will preoccupy the nerve center in the brain. The nerve center, being preoccupied with the surrogate impulse, fails to attend to the original pain, which has become secondary and will eventually subside" (The Holistic Health Handbook, p. 46). this very well could be the accurate reason why it works.

As Christians we should not seek practitioners who offer metaphysical cures that manipulate invisible energy. The Acupuncture theory is incompatible with both scientific evidence and diametrically opposed to the Christian world view of the human body and spirit. The Bible never describes energy zones or meridians in the human anatomy. While admittingly there is much unknown, this has always been the practice of metaphysical and occult practitioners.
