ACE Study Reveals Power Bracelet to be Ineffective


ENERGY FROM BRACELET NOT TRUE

Many people today are fun about energy in bracelet as they say that it protects you from radiation and balances body functions. It is the subject everywhere you go but we are unaware that the material they used is of another kind.

Everyone now is using that magic pendant, actually it is not magic but scientific as discovered by James Maxwell in 1800 about the third energy called the scalar energy.

But the thing is it was already diverted, as you noticed the units used to measure for scalar pendant is negative ions, one pendant would measure averaging to 4,000 negative ions.   

The material for pendant is volcanic mineral, while the bracelet is made of metal; germanium or titanium. It has been used in many wrest watches for long time why only now they say it has many health benefits. 

Let us read the findings of some doctors below testing number of students to check if their strength or balance changes.

ACE Study Reveals Power Balance 

Bracelet to be Ineffective



SAN DIEGO, Calif. (March 23, 2011)—The American Council on Exercise, America’s leading authority on fitness and the largest nonprofit fitness certification, education and training organization in the world, today announced results of an exclusive, peer-reviewed study that found the Power® Balance bracelet did not improve flexibility, balance, strength or power in a series of randomized, double-blind tests.  The Council commissioned the exercise and health program team at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, led by John Porcari, Ph.D., to determine whether this bracelet enhances and improves athletic performance.
“As the popularity of the Power Balance bracelet has grown, from everyday consumers and gym-goers to high-profile, professional athletes, we recognized that the efficacy of this jewelry should be empirically evaluated,” says ACE’s Chief Science Officer, Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D.  “We ultimately found that the bands had no impact on performance outcomes.  Moreover, the significant difference between the first and second time that participants performed tests is likely attributed to participants anticipating the specific test activities the second time around as well as becoming somewhat warmed up, not the bracelet itself.”
The study evaluated 42 college-aged NCAA Division III athletes who were asked to perform two trials of the following four tests, without warm up: trunk flexibility, balance, strength and the vertical jump.  Subjects were tested in the same order, but half wore the placebo bracelet in the first trial round, switching to the Power Balance in the second round; the other half first donned the Power Balance bracelet and used the placebo bracelet in the second round.  Neither the participants nor the examiners knew which bracelet was used in which trial phase due to the randomized and double-blind exam protocol.  In the end, none of the tests demonstrated a significant difference between using the Power Balance bracelet versus using the placebo.  The only consistent finding was that the subjects always did better during the second trial, whether they were wearing the Power Balance bracelet or the placebo bracelet. 
The first three tests, designed to measure flexibility, balance and strength, were modeled after tests featured on the Power Balance website while the fourth, the vertical test, was added to test the power of the lower body.  For the flexibility test, subjects had a stick placed on the back of the neck, across their shoulders, and were asked to rotate as far clockwise as they could with feet placed together; rotation was measured in degrees with a calibrated grid.  In the balance test, students stood with feet together, arms extended, and were asked to lift their right foot approximately 15 cm off the ground.  Once the subject was in this position, the examiner used a device for measuring force output to push straight down on the right arm as it was extended above ground; the amount of force (kg) required to break the subject’s balance or form was recorded.  The strength test asked participants to stand with feet together and arms at side.  Examiners then placed the same measurement tool used during the balance test in the palm of each participant’s cupped right hand, and the level of force required by the examiner to push down on this tool and cause the subject to either move his or her feet or break form was recorded.  Finally, participants were asked to vertically jump as high as they could from a standing position; their maximal jump height was measured in centimeters.  Each test was performed for two trial rounds, with half of the participants in the placebo group for the first round and the other half in the test group.
The most notable improvement was in trunk flexibility across the first and second trial, regardless of whether subjects wore the Power Balance or placebo bracelets.  The 9.1 degree increase in flexibility, from an average of 114.2 degree rotation in the first trial to an average of 123.3 degree rotation in the second trial, can likely be attributed to the participants being warmed-up for the second trial.  Since practice trials were not provided for any tests, including the balance and strength tests that required an average of 16 percent increase in force and 7 percent more force, respectively, from trial one to trial two, subjects anecdotally replied that they “knew what was coming” in the second trial and therefore compensated by readying their bodies for the tests.  Finally, the vertical test improvements, approximately 3 percent, from trial one to trial two were attributed to the subjects being warmed-up for the second trial, further demonstrating that improvement across tests could be attributed to warm-up or habituation to the task.
“The study was designed to test the validity of the claims that wearing Power Balance bracelets with their embedded holograms restore optimal energy balance in the body to improve a person’s strength, balance and flexibility,” Bryant adds. “The bottom line is that after all the data was analyzed, there clearly was no evidence to support the notion that wearing a Power Balance bracelet improves physical performance.”

Community or nation could not progress unless they learn from ants

Community or nation could not progress unless we learn from ants

Many people think that by gaining more and ignoring others will make them successful. Greed is what makes life miserable, that’s why as it was said by the great teacher, the love of money (or greed) is the root of all evil, it is not the money that is the problem but the greedy attitude. It causes people to cheat, manipulate, fight and even kill others. The more we ridicule, ignore and make others poor eventually we become poor too. Imagine if all others are poor how would the business grow?




Look at the ants in the picture and ponder deeply. We ask questions, how could ants cross a river? Of course we could quickly answer no, ants cannot cross river. But look that picture ants are crossing the river by filing themselves together and so they float on the water. How could ants plan like this? If ants can think such great thing, why we people cannot think that by helping each other (as the ants bundle themselves together) that only then we can grow as one people or community.

That is why we need to understand what empowering others means, what is the purpose and benefit. Progress cannot be attained by one person alone, it always needs others. To accomplish a job we need different kinds of capabilities. We need tall person to reach thing put at high level, we need small person too to crawl into spaces which limited under. Like the body parts, each part could not be neglected because if one is lacking the body cannot function properly.

In order to progress as a community or nation, we must learn the lesson from the ants, learning to empower each other. We cannot ignore each other and complain, why are we suffering, why are we poor and many different complains. If we will not wake up our senses, and if only we could understand the language of the ants, what would be ant's possible answer? Shall they say " do not destroy others, if you do eventually you will be destroyed too. To help others is our way to survive and to cross river, it is impossible to do it alone".

Things your feet say about your health


10 Things your feet say about your health
By Paula Spencer, Caring.com









Want to make a ten-second check on somebody’s well-being without feeling their forehead? Sneak a peek at their feet. “You can detect everything from diabetes to nutritional deficiencies just by examining the feet,” says Jane Andersen, DPM, president of the American Association of Women Podiatrists and a spokeswoman for the American Podiatric Medical Association.

The lowly left and right provide plenty of insightful data: Together they contain a quarter of the body’s bones, and each foot also has 33 joints; 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments; and countless nerves and blood vessels that link all the way to the heart, spine, and brain.
Unresolved foot problems can have unexpected consequences. Untreated pain often leads a person to move less and gain weight, for example, or to shift balance in unnatural ways, increasing the chance of falling and breaking a bone.
So when the feet send one of these 18 warning messages, they mean business.

1. Red flag: Toenails with slightly sunken, spoon-shaped indentations
What it means: Anemia (iron deficiency) often shows up as an unnatural, concave or spoonlike shape to the toes’ nail beds, especially in moderate-to-severe cases. It’s caused by not having enough hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein in the blood cells that transports oxygen. Internal bleeding (such as an ulcer) or heavy menstrual periods can trigger anemia.
More clues: On fingers as well as toes, the skin and nail beds both appear pale. The nails may also be brittle, and feet may feel cold. Fatigue is the number-one sign of anemia, as are shortness of breath, dizziness when standing, and headache.
What to do: A complete blood count is usually used to diagnose anemia. A physical exam may pinpoint a cause. First-step treatments include iron supplements and dietary changes to add iron and vitamin C (which speeds iron absorption).
2. Red flag: Hairless feet or toes
What it means: Poor circulation, usually caused by vascular disease, can make hair disappear from the feet. When the heart loses the ability to pump enough blood to the extremities because of arteriosclerosis (commonly known as hardening of the arteries), the body has to prioritize its use. Hairy toes are, well, low on the totem pole.
More clues: The reduced blood supply also makes it hard to feel a pulse in the feet. (Check the top of the foot or the inside of the ankle.) When the person stands, the feet may be bright red or dusky; when elevated, they immediately pale. The skin is shiny. People with poor circulation tend to already know they have a cardiovascular condition (such as heart disease or a carotid artery) yet may not realize they have circulation trouble.
What to do: Treating the underlying vascular issues can improve circulation. Toe hair seldom returns, but nobody complains much.
3. Red flag: Frequent foot cramping (charley horses)
What it means: The sudden stab of a foot cramp — basically, the hard contraction of a muscle — can be triggered by fleeting circumstances such as exercise or dehydration. But if it happens often, your diet may lack sufficient calcium, potassium, or magnesium. Pregnant women in the third trimester are especially vulnerable thanks to increased blood volume and reduced circulation to the feet.
More clues: Charley horses tend to rear up out of nowhere, often while you’re just lying there. They can be a single sharp muscle spasm or come in waves. Either way, soreness can linger long afterward.
What to do: Try to flex the foot and massage the painful area. You may also be able to relax the muscle by applying a cold pack or rubbing alcohol. To prevent cramps, stretch your feet before you go to bed. Then drink a glass of warm milk (for the calcium).
4. Red flag: A sore that won’t heal on the bottom of the foot
What it means: This is a major clue to diabetes. Elevated blood glucose levels lead to nerve damage in the feet — which means that minor scrapes, cuts, or irritations caused by pressure or friction often go unnoticed, especially by someone who’s unaware he has the disease. Untreated, these ulcers can lead to infection, even amputation.
More clues: Oozing, foul-smelling cuts are especially suspect because they’ve probably been there awhile. Other symptoms of diabetes include persistent thirst, frequent urination, increased fatigue, blurry vision, extreme hunger, and weight loss.
What to do: Get the ulcer treated immediately and see a doctor for a diabetes evaluation. Diabetics need to inspect their feet daily (older people or the obese should have someone do this for them) and see a healthcare professional every three months.
5. Red flag: Cold feet
What it means: Women, especially, report cold feet (or more precisely, their bedmates complain about them). It may be nothing — or it may indicate a thyroid issue. Women have a slightly lower core body temperature than men, which makes them more vulnerable to being cold even when they’re perfectly healthy. Women over 40 who have cold feet often have an underfunctioning thyroid, the gland that regulates temperature and metabolism. Poor circulation (in either gender) is another possible cause.
More clues: Hypothyroidism’s symptoms are pretty subtle and appear in many disorders (fatigue, depression, weight gain, dry skin).
What to do: Insulating layers of natural materials work best for warmth. (Think wool socks and lined boots). If you also have other nagging health complaints, mention the cold feet to your doctor. Unfortunately, however, aside from treatment with medication in the event of a thyroid condition, this tends to be a symptom that’s neither easily nor sexily resolved.
6. Red flag: Thick, yellow, downright ugly toenails
What it means: A fungal infection is running rampant below the surface of the nail. Onychomycosis can persist painlessly for years. By the time it’s visibly unattractive, the infection is advanced and can spread to all toenails and even fingernails.
More clues: The nails may also smell bad and turn dark. People most vulnerable: those with diabetes, circulatory trouble, or immune-deficiency disorders (like rheumatoid arthritis). If an older person has trouble walking, sometimes the problem can be traced to the simple fact that as infected nails grow thicker, they’re harder to cut and simply go ignored to the point of pain.
What to do: See a foot specialist or your regular physician for care and treatment. In serious cases, over-the-counter antifungals are usually not as effective as a combination of topical and oral medications and the professional removal of diseased bits. Newer-generation oral antifungal medications tend to have fewer side effects than older ones.
7. Red flag: A suddenly enlarged, scary-looking big toe
What it means: Probably gout. Yes, that old-fashioned-sounding disease is still very much around — and you don’t have to be over 65 to get it. Gout is a form of arthritis (also called “gouty arthritis”) that’s usually caused by too much uric acid, a natural substance. The built-up uric acid forms needlelike crystals, especially at low body temperatures. And the coolest part of the body, farthest from the heart, happens to be the big toe.
“Three-fourths of the time, you wake up with a red-hot swollen toe joint as the first presentation of gout,” says podiatrist Andersen.
More clues: Swelling and shiny red or purplish skin — along with a sensation of heat and pain — can also occur in the instep, the Achilles tendon, the knees, and the elbows. Anyone can develop gout, though men in their 40s and 50s are especially prone. Women with gout tend to be postmenopausal.
What to do: See a doctor about controlling the causes of gout through diet or medication. A foot specialist can help relieve pain and preserve function.
8. Red flag: Numbness in both feet
What it means: Being unable to “feel” your feet or having a heavy pins-and-needles sensation is a hallmark of peripheral neuropathy, or damage to the peripheral nervous system. That’s the body’s way of transmitting information from the brain and spinal cord to the entire rest of the body. Peripheral neuropathy has many causes, but the top two are diabetes and alcohol abuse (current or past). Chemotherapy is another common cause.
More clues: The tingling or burning can also appear in hands and may gradually spread up to arms and legs. The reduced sensation may make it feel like you’re constantly wearing heavy socks or gloves.
What to do: See a physician to try to pinpoint the cause (especially if alcohol addiction doesn’t apply). There’s no cure for peripheral neuropathy, but medications from pain relievers to antidepressants can treat symptoms.
9. Red flag: Sore toe joints
What it means: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a degenerative joint disease, is often first felt in the smaller joints, such as the toes and the knuckles of the hands.
More clues: Swelling and stiffness usually accompany the aches. This pain tends to be symmetrical; for example, it happens simultaneously in both big toes or in both index fingers. RA develops more suddenly than degenerative arthritis, and attacks may come and go. Women are almost four times more affected than men.
What to do: A full workup is always needed to pinpoint the cause of any joint pain. For RA, there are many medications and therapies that can minimize pain and preserve function, though early diagnosis is important to avoid permanent deformity. (In the feet, the toes can drift to the side.)
10. Red flag: Pitted toenails
What it means: In up to half of all people with psoriasis, the skin disease also shows up in the nail as many little holes, which can be deep or shallow. More than three-fourths of those with psoriatic arthritis, a related disorder that affects the joints as well as the skin, also have pocked, pitted nails.
More clues: The nails (fingers as well as toes) will also thicken. They may be yellow-brown or have salmon-colored patches. The knuckle nearest the nail is also likely to be dry, red, and inflamed.
What to do: A variety of medications can treat both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and can restore the nail bed surface in many cases, especially if treatment begins early.
11. Red flag: Being unable to raise the foot upward from the heel
What it means: “Foot drop” (also “drop foot”) signals nerve or muscle damage that can originate well north of your feet — as far as your back or even shoulder or neck. Certain chemotherapy drugs can also cause trouble lifting the front part of the foot while walking or standing.
More clues: There may be pain and numbness as well, though not necessarily. Sometimes the pain is felt in the upper leg or lower spine, where a nerve is pinched (by damage or a tumor). In some cases, the foot drags when the person walks. It’s rare for both feet to be affected.
What to do: Report this serious symptom to your doctor. Foot drop can be completely reversible or permanent, depending on its cause and treatment.
12. Red flag: Dry, flaky skin
What it means: Even if your face or hands tend to be powdery-dry, don’t dismiss this skin condition on your feet. You don’t have to be a jock to contract athlete’s foot, a fungal infection that usually starts as dry, itchy skin that then progresses to inflammation and blisters. When blisters break, the infection spreads.
(The name comes from the moist places the fungus thrives — places athletes tend to congregate, such as locker rooms and pools.)
More clues: Athlete’s foot usually shows up between the toes first. It can spread to the soles and even to other parts of the body (like the underarms or groin), usually due to scratching.
What to do: Mild cases can be self-treated by bathing the feet often and drying them thoroughly. Then keep the feet dry, including using foot powder in shoes and socks. If there’s no improvement in two weeks or the infection worsens, a doctor can prescribe topical or oral antifungal medication.

13. Red flag: Toes that turn patriotic colors
What it means: In cold weather, Raynaud’s disease (or Raynaud’s phenomenon) causes the extremities to first go white, then turn blue, and finally appear red before returning to a natural hue. For reasons not well understood, the blood vessels in these areas vasospasm, or overreact, causing the tricolor show.
More clues: Other commonly affected areas include the fingers, nose, lips, and ear lobes. They also feel cool to the touch and go numb. Women and those who live in colder climates get Raynaud’s more often. It typically shows up before age 25 or after 40. Stress can trigger Raynaud’s attacks, too.
What to do: See a doctor about medications that can widen blood vessels, which reduces the severity of attacks.
14. Red flag: Feet that are really painful to walk on
What it means: Undiagnosed stress fractures are a common cause of foot pain. The discomfort can be felt along the sides of the feet, in the soles, or “all over.” These fractures — they often occur repeatedly — may be caused by another underlying problem, often osteopenia (a decrease in optimum bone density, especially in women over age 50) or some kind of malnutrition, including a vitamin D deficiency, a problem absorbing calcium, or anorexia.
More clues: Often you can still walk on the broken bones; it just hurts like heck. (Some hardy people have gone undiagnosed for as long as a year.)
What to do: See a foot doctor about any pain. If, for example, you’ve been walking around Europe for three weeks in bad shoes, your feet may simply be sore. But a 55-year-old sedentary woman with painful feet may need a bone-density exam. An X-ray can also reveal possible nutritional issues that warrant a referral to a primary care provider.
15. Red flag: Toes that bump upward at the tips
What it means: When the very tips of the toes swell to the point where they lose their usual angle and appear to bump upward at the ends, it’s called “digital clubbing” or “Hippocratic clubbing” after Hippocrates, who described the phenomenon 2,000 years ago. It’s a common sign of serious pulmonary (lung) disease, including pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. Heart disease and certain gastrointestinal diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, are also associated with clubbing.
More clues: Fingers can be clubbed as well as toes. It can happen in just some digits, or in all.
What to do: Treatment depends on the underlying cause, so report this serious symptom to a doctor. (Physicians are also well trained to look for clubbed digits during exams.)
16. Red flag: Shooting pain in the heel
What it means: Plantar fasciitis — a fancy name for inflammation of a band of connective tissue (fascia) running along the bottom (plantar) of the foot — is abnormal straining of the tissue beyond its normal extension.
More clues: The pain starts when you take your first steps in the morning and often intensifies as the day wears on. It’s usually concentrated in the heel (one or both) but can also be felt in the arch or in the back of the foot. Running and jumping a lot can cause it, but so can insufficient support. You’re at risk if you go barefoot a lot or wear old shoes or flimsy flip-flops, have gained weight, or walk a lot on hard surfaces.
What to do: If pain persists more than a few weeks or seems to worsen, have it evaluated by a podiatrist. Stick to low shoes with a strong supportive arch until you get further advice and treatment (which may include anti-inflammatory drugs and shoe inserts).

17. Red flag: “Phee-uuuuw!”
What it means: Though smelly feet (hyperhidrosis) tend to cause more alarm than most foot symptoms, odor — even downright stinkiness — is seldom a sign something’s physically amiss. (Whew!) Feet contain more sweat glands than any other body part — half a million between the two of them! And some people are more prone to sweat than others. Add in the casings of shoes and socks, and the normal bacteria that thrive in the body have a feast on the resulting moisture, creating the smell that makes wives and mothers weep. (Both sexes can have smelly feet, but men tend to sweat more.)
More clues: In this case, the one olfactory clue is plenty.
What to do: Wash with antibacterial soap and dry feet well. Rub cornstarch or antiperspirant onto soles. Toss used socks in the wash; always put on a fresh pair instead of reusing. Stick to natural materials (cotton socks, leather shoes) — they wick away moisture better than man-made materials. Open up laced shoes after you remove them so they get a chance to fully air out; don’t wear them again until they’re fully dry.
18. Red flag: Old shoes
What it means: Danger! You’re a walking health bomb if your everyday shoes are more than a couple of years old or if walking or running shoes have more than 350 to 500 miles on them. Old shoes lack the support feet need — and footgear wears out faster than most people think, foot specialists say.
More clues: Blisters (too tight), bunions (too narrow), heel pain (not enough support) — if you’re having any kind of foot trouble, there’s at least a 50-50 chance your shoddy or ill-fitting footwear is to blame.
Older people are especially vulnerable because they fall into the habit of wearing familiar old shoes that may lack support, flexibility, or good traction.
What to do: Go shoe shopping.

Lifespan Shortened by TV Watching


Lifespan Shortened by TV Watching

Aug 18, 2011 2:03 pm posted by Jake Richardson





A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine said TV watching can shorten one’s lifespan by twenty-two minutes for each hour watched. It also said individuals who watch TV for six hours on average, live five years less than people who don’t watch it at all. It isn’t just the TV watching that is the problem, it is the sedentary lifestyle associated with watching TV. People who don’t exercise are much more prone to obesity, diabetes and heart disease, and excessive TV watching means a person’s waking hours are organized in part around not moving very much. The study noted that TV watching can be compared to other unhealthy activities, such as smoking, for impact on lifespans, “the data discovered in the study proposes watching TV can be as dangerous as pre-established life expectancy lowering behaviors like smoking and not getting enough exercise. For every cigarette smoked, a smoker loses 11 minutes of his or her life, which is exactly half the amount reduced by watching an hour of television.”  (Source:IBTimes.com)
Another potential contributor to the unhealthy practice of excessive TV watching is the fact some people eat junk food while watching it, or overeat while watching it because they are less likely to pay attention to how much they are eating. The study analyzed data from 11,000 people 25 years old and above from Australia. TV watching could also said to reduce ones lifespan because it literally means one is not participating in life, instead choosing a passive, virtual reality which is often more about escapism than reality.
Some people are not particularly concerned with such research studies and use the relative risk concept–they would rather engage in hedonistic pursuits for the pleasure involved, knowing there are risks, and thus taking their chances. Others are more disciplined and limit their “screen time”–whether it is TV, computer or mobile device use.

FACTS ABOUT NICOTINE TOXICITY


Irena BRÈIÆ KARAÈONJI
Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health, Zagreb, Croatia
Received in July 2005



TOXICITY DATA AND TOXICITY EVALUATION
General toxicity
Acute toxicity



In experimental animals, the dose of nicotine
which is lethal to 50 % of the animals (LD50) varies
widely, depending on the route of administration
and the species used. The intravenous (i.v.) LD50
dose of nicotine in mice is 7.1 mg kg-1 body weight
(22). By direct i.v. administration the LD50 to rats was
determined to 1 mg kg-1 (23). The intraperitoneal (i.p.)
LD50 values for nicotine in mice and rats have been
found to be 5.9 mg kg-1 and 14.6 mg kg-1, respectively
(22). The oral LD50 dose for nicotine in rats is 50 mg
kg-1 to 60 mg kg-1 (24). The wide variation in sensitivity
to the toxic effects of nicotine in rodents appears to
be genetically determined (25). Dermal acute toxicity



(LD50) in rabbits is 140 mg kg-1 (26). In interpreting

animal toxicity data it is important to recognise that the
route of administration is an important determinant of
toxicity. Rapid i.v. injections result in the highest blood
and brain concentrations and produce toxicity at the
lowest doses. In contrast, oral or i.p. administration
require higher doses to produce toxicity. This is due
in part to pre-systemic (“first pass”) metabolism of
nicotine whereby, after absorption into the portal
venous circulation, nicotine is metabolised by the liver
before it reaches the systemic venous circulation.


Probable oral lethal dose in humans is less than
5 mg kg-1 or a taste (less than 7 drops) for a 70 kg
person (27). It may be assumed that ingestion of 40
mg to 60 mg of nicotine is lethal to humans (27).
No inhalation toxicity data are available on which to
base an immediately dangerous to life or health
concentration (IDLH) for nicotine. Therefore, the
revised IDLH for nicotine is 5 mg m-3 based on acute
oral toxicity data in humans and animals (28).
A number of poisonings and deaths from ingestion
of nicotine, primarily involving nicotine-containing
pesticides, have been reported in humans (6). Nicotine
poisoning produces nausea, vomiting, abdominal
pain, diarrhoea, headaches, sweating, and pallor. More
severe poisoning results in dizziness, weakness, and
confusion, progressing to convulsions, hypotension,
and coma. Death is usually due to paralysis of
respiratory muscles and/or central respiratory failure.


Dermal exposure to nicotine can also lead to poisoning.
Such exposures have been reported after spilling or
applying nicotine-containing insecticides on the skin
or clothes and as a consequence of occupational
contact with tobacco leaves (6, 8). Acute intoxication
may occur in children following ingestion of tobacco
materials. Four children, each of whom ingested two
cigarettes, developed salivation, vomiting, diarrhoea,
tachypnoea, tachycardia, and hypertension within 30
min, followed by depressed respiration and cardiac
arrhythmia within 40 min and convulsions within 60
min (29). All recovered and suffered no complication.
Although ingestions of tobacco are common, deaths
due to ingestion of tobacco are extremely rare, due
to early vomiting and first pass metabolism of the
nicotine that is absorbed.



Long-term toxicity


As attested to in the U.S. Surgeon General’s reports
since 1964, smoking causes coronary and peripheral
vascular disease, cancer, chronic obstructive lung

disease, peptic ulcer disease, and reproductive
disturbances, including prematurity (30). Nicotine
may contribute to tobacco-related disease, but direct
causation has not been determined because nicotine
is taken up simultaneously with a multitude of other
potentially harmful substances that occur in tobacco
smoke and smokeless tobacco. However, particularly
now that nicotine may be prescribed in the form of
gum or other delivery systems, the potential health
consequences of chronic nicotine exposure deserve
careful consideration.

Preventing Type 2 Diabetes

Preventing Type 2 Diabetes

The best diabetes prevention step


By Sarah Henry, Caring.com
You can help stave off the chronic condition of diabetes 2 by making healthy food choices, losing weight if necessary, and staying active.
People who are overweight or obese are at greater risk for type 2 diabetes. Carrying excess weight around the waist rather than the hips also increases the risk. Talk to the doctor about a healthy target weight and whether losing weight would help prevent type 2 diabetes.
Losing weight for diabetes prevention
There are essentially two components to losing weight: Eat less and move more.
  • Eat right. Start by making smart choices on the food front. That means lots of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and lean protein, and go easy on the fats and sweet treats. Losing weight with an eye toward diabetes prevention means not just taking in fewer calories, but making those calories count.
  • Get active. Walking for as little as 30 minutes a day can lower the risk of getting type 2 diabetes. Physical activity increases the body’s ability to store and use glucose. It also helps keep the heart and blood vessels healthy and helps maintain a healthy weight.
Even modest weight loss — just 5 or 10 pounds — can dramatically lower a person’s chances of getting this lifelong disease, because extra weight makes it harder for the body to use insulin.

13 Foods that Fight Pain




13 Foods that Fight Pain


posted by Michelle Schoffro Cook Aug 5, 2011 4:01 pm


While many foods taste great, they are also powerful healers in a vibrant multicolor disguise. The best healing remedies also taste fabulous (I can’t say that about any prescription medications). Plus, foods won’t cause the nasty common side effects that most drugs cause.
1. Cherries
Muraleedharan Nair, PhD, professor of natural products and chemistry at Michigan State University, found that tart cherry extract is ten times more effective than aspirin at relieving inflammation. Only two tablespoons of the concentrated juice need to be taken daily for effective results. Sweet cherries have also been found to be effective.
2. Blackberries 3. Raspberries 4. Blueberries and 5. Strawberries
Dr. Nair later found the same anti-pain compound in berries like blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries.

James Duke, Ph.D., author of The Green Pharmacy, found more than 20 anti-inflammatory compounds in celery and celery seeds, including a substance called apigenin, which is powerful in its anti-inflammatory action. Add celery seeds to soups, stews or as a salt substitute in many recipes.
7. Ginger
Ginger reduces pain-causing prostaglandin levels in the body and has been widely used in India to treat pain and inflammation. A study by Indian researchers found that when people who were suffering from muscular pain were given ginger, they all experienced improvement. The recommended dosage of ginger is between 500 and 1,000 milligrams per day. If you’re taking medications, check with your health practitioner for possible herb-drug interactions.

8. Turmeric
Turmeric (curcuma longa) is the yellow spice commonly used in Indian curries. In research it has been shown to be a more effective anti-inflammatory than steroid medications when dealing with acute inflammation. Its main therapeutic ingredient is curcumin. Research shows that curcumin suppresses pain through a similar mechanism as drugs like COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors (without the harmful side effects). Choose a standardized extract with 1500 mg of curcumin content per day.
9. Salmon 10. Mackerel and 11. Herring
Many fatty fish like salmon, mackerel and herring also contain these valuable oils. Omega-3s convert in the body into hormone-like substances that decrease inflammation and pain. According to Dr. Alfred D. Steinberg, an arthritis expert at the National Institute of Health, fish oil is an anti-inflammatory agent. Fish oil acts directly on the immune system by suppressing 40 to 55 percent of the release of cytokines, compounds known to destroy joints. Many other studies also demonstrate that eating moderate amounts of fish or taking fish oil reduces pain and inflammation, particularly for arthritis sufferers.

12. Flax Seeds and Flax Oil
Freshly-ground flax seeds and cold-pressed flax oil, contain plentiful amounts of fatty acids known as Omega-3s. Do not cook with flax oil otherwise it will have the opposite effect-irritating the body’s tissues and causing pain.
13. Raw Walnuts and Walnut Oil
Raw walnuts and walnut oil also contain the same powerful Omega-3 fatty acids that fight pain and inflammation in the body.
When it comes to pain, food really is the best medicine.

Scalar Energy Networking business










The trend of today is networking- that's ok.

A net working must be unique and difficult to emitate,

otherwise 
like having a sari-sari store everybody's business dies.



The problem of scalar gadget is, with many of today's brilliant

mind you can not prevent famous universities to make their

own studies and let it be produced by huge volumes, china is

a concrete example.


The usual source material for inducing scalar energy is from

volcanic mineral. Big country such as china has a lot of it so

they can produce it in huge quantity, the quality by the supervision

of the international quality approving bodies. The required

scalar force per gadget 
can be measured by a device.


In America now many are offering a quality scalar gadgets at

very low price, because as they say they are not involve in

networking.

That is the risk in scalar business. A networking must give

a residual income for a lifetime but in this kind of situation how you can survive?

Browse at internet and you will see. Example of that is this

blog, look when he started and look at his research. How can
we say he is not quality if he himself is the scientist and the founder? Try to read it.

The Energy Of Life

All life is energy. Every nerve impulse in your body is an electric current. Every cell in your body is a mini-battery pumping out 70-90 millivolts – when healthy.
Our muscles are powered by chemical energy. The steak and potatoes that you eat for dinner are really just fuel for the fire. Eating is like throwing coal in a furnace. Digestion is nothing more than a slow form of burning that produces energy for your body to live on. In fact, death itself is defined as the absence of electrical activity in the brain. In the end, all life is energy.

Optimize that energy and you optimize your health.

Energy is nether good nor bad; it just is. The same electricity that is used by a chiropractor or a physical therapist to stimulate your muscles and promote healing with a TENS machine is the same electricity that is used in prisons to execute people in electric chairs. So, is electricity good or bad? The answer is neither. It's just a question of what frequency and amplitude you use and how you use it.

Charge your body with the right frequencies and you prevent disease.

The same laser light that is used to shoot down enemy missiles or as a death ray in a movie is also used by your eye-doctor to improve your vision via Lasik surgery or by your plastic surgeon to remove facial hair and wrinkles. Again, the difference is merely one of frequency and amplitude.
The proper use of energy in the healing arts has a long and significant history. From the TENS machines and laser surgery that we've already mentioned to the use of sound waves to break up kidney stones, or X-rays and magnetic fields to see into the body to the use of light to clean the blood.

Some forms of energy are more effective than others.

As we will see, scalar energy is merely another application of healing energy. It is the application of science as nature intended.

A New Paradigm

We are about to talk about some things concerning health and nutrition that are probably brand new to you. This topic is not inherently difficult to understand, but since it represents a total paradigm shift in how you will look at health and nutrition, we will have to proceed slowly.

We're going to learn how to actually embed healing energy in nutritional products

Also, in order to explain everything, we will have to touch on some very esoteric areas such as higher mathematics and sub-atomic particles. Don't panic. It won't be too involved, and after every difficult section, I will summarize what you just read and tell you the key points you need to remember.

We're also going to learn how healing energy frequencies are transferred from the products you ingest into every single cell of your body – with profound implications for your overall health.

With that said, let's begin.

The Nature of Energy

All of the energy that we normally think of is characterized by both particle and wavelike properties. The waveform of all these energies can be graphed as a hertzian wave (either in the form of a sine wave or a step wave).
Scalar Wave Image
We're talking about everything from electricity to magnetism, from light to sound. The only difference between all of these forms of energy is how fast the waves rise and fall (the frequency) and how intense those rises and falls are (their amplitude).

Scalar Energy

Scalar energy, however, is a different animal. Understand, scalar energy has always existed – since the beginning of time – however, it's only recently that scientists have discovered and begun to make use of it.
It was actually back in the mid 1800's that the existence of scalar energy was first proposed in a series of 4 groundbreaking equations by the Scottish mathematician, James Clerk Maxwell.
Scalar Formula Image
Don't even think about trying to understand these equations.
  • Just as a minor reference, H refers to the magnetic field. E refers to the electric field. Most of the other symbols are Greek letters such as epsilon and delta. The upside down triangle represents the Vector Differential.
But forget all of that. The key to these equations – what makes them remarkable in history is the use of the Scalar Energysymbol, which stands for the Scalar Charge Density – thus representing the first time that the existence of scalar energy was theoretically proposed. (For the mathematicians and physicists among you looking for a more complete exploration of how Maxwell's equations demonstrate both vector magnetic potential and scalar electric potential, click here.)
It was almost a half-century later before Nicola Tesla actually was able to demonstrate the existence of scalar energy. When Tesla died, he took the secret of scalar generation with him, and it took almost another full century before science was once again able to positively demonstrate the existence of scalar energy and turn to an exploration of its potential.

What are Scalar Waves?

The standard definition of scalar waves is that they are created by a pair of identical (or replicant) waves (usually called the wave and its antiwave) that are in phase spatially, but out of phase temporally. That is to say, the two waves are physically identical, but 180 0 out of phase in terms of time. The net result is that scalar waves are a whole different animal from normal hertzian waves. They even look different – like an infinitely projected mobius pattern on axis.

Different - How?

Scalar 3-D Image
Scalar energy is different from standard hertzian electromagnetic fields in a number of important ways.
  • First, it's more field like than wavelike. Instead of running along wires or shooting out in beams, it tends to “fill” its environment. This becomes very important in terms of developing the technology for embedding products with scalar energy.
  • For many of the same reasons, it is capable of passing through solid objects with no loss of intensity. In fact, that is exactly what Tesla demonstrated over 100 years ago when he projected a scalar wave through the earth with no loss of field strength. Again, this is vital in the development of technology capable of embedding scalar energy in products.
  • It implants its signature on solid objects. This is actually the heart of the issue. All electric fields can implant their signature on objects, but not to the degree that scalar energy can. This becomes extremely important when we actually talk about the mechanics of embedding the energy field in products, and then transferring that charge from the products into every cell of your body.
  • Scalar energy can regenerate and repair itself indefinitely. This also has important implications for the body. In other words, once the charge is implanted, you can keep it there with the regular ingestion of charged products.
  • In fact, the right scalar frequencies have a whole range of profound beneficial effects on the human body. (And we will detail each and every one very shortly.)
  • In the New Age community there has been much talk of the benefit of things like Tachyons, Radionics, and Pyramids, etc. Analysis shows that these are all, at heart, scalar generating devices – but cannot come close to the effectiveness of ingesting scalar enhanced products.

Generating Scalar Energy

Actually, scalar waves can be generated in many ways. For example, you can generate them Electronically, Magnetically, Physically (by the motion of a mobius strip), or Optically (by the movement of phased patterns on a computer monitor). You can actually buy wristwatches that incorporate moving mobius strips that generate protective scalar fields.

Embedding Scalar Energy in Products

As I mentioned earlier, all life is fundamentally energy based, and therefore, all life has numbers of structures capable of holding a scalar charge. In point of fact, the very same structures that allow the scalar charge to be embedded in products also allow that charge to be transferred to the human body from those same products. For example:
  • There are many crystalline structures in every cell wall – all capable of holding a charge
  • There are many liquid crystal structures in the collagen network comprising all of the space between cells – also capable of holding a charge.

And In Your Very DNA

We are going to get very abstract, for one final moment, before we begin to simplify everything and bring it all together. So just hang in there for a little longer.
There are Quantum Mechanical models that describe subatomic particles such as Excitons, Plasmons, and Solitons that can store and carry biological information along macromolecules in response to low level scalar energy.

In other words, scalar energy is capable of imprinting itself on your very DNA.

Before we move on to the benefits of scalar energy for your health, it would be worth dwelling for a moment on what proof exists that everything I'm talking about is real.

There is Proof

It is possible to measure scalar fields, but most people don't have the required equipment. Therefore, let's turn to a form of proof that we can see right now – Kirlian photography. A Kirlian photograph is merely a specialized kind of photography that images the bioelectric field that surrounds all objects – particularly living objects.
U.S. News and World Report ran an article some time ago calling Kirlian photography a hoax. To quote from the article:
“Controlled experiments have shown that the Kirlian photos (captured by passing an electric current through the subject, whose "energies" are then recorded on special photographic plates) are the result of moisture and pressure, not spiritual vitality.”
And that's absolutely true, as far as it goes. The simple fact is, though, that it's possible to set up a hermetically sealed environment where moisture and pressure are constant, and therefore not influencing the outcome of the pictures. And yet, even in those controlled environments, it's possible to produce startling and revealing photos. For example:
Here are two pictures of lentil sprouts – identical, except for the fact that the lentil on the left has been soaked in very hot water for a minute or so. According to the U.S. News and World Report article, since it has more moisture in it, it should conduct more electricity than the unblanched lentil on the right and produce a brighter field.

As you can see, the exact opposite is true. (If you're looking at a black and white printout, the greatly expanded red area appears dark gray.) And that's why the National Institute of Health and Cambridge University, among other major institutes, are studying Kirlian photography, despite claims to the contrary.
So what can we learn about scalar enhanced products through Kirlian photos? Well, the absolute most important thing we can learn is that the scalar charge is, unquestionably, embedding itself in the products. Below are just a couple of examples of products before and after embedding.

The two sets of photographs above, by themselves, are revolutionary in their implications. (Incidentally, these images were produced using a brand new process – side-by-side direct digital imaging, which even further diminishes the effect of outside factors such as moisture, temperature, and pressure.)
The bottom line is that experience tells us that the more alive something is (the more organic it is) the bigger its energy field will be. And energy enhanced products always demonstrate a bigger field.

Benefits

This is the big question, isn't it? What health benefits are there to consuming scalar enhanced products? As it turns out, they are many – AND THEY ARE PROFOUND. Regular intake of scalar enhanced products can:
  • Eliminate and nullify the effects of man made frequencies (60 cps) in the human body
  • Increase the energy level of every single cell in the body to the ideal 70-90 millivolt range
  • Increase the energy covalent level of every single hydrogen atom in the body as verified by spectrographs. This is significant because covalent hydrogen bonds are what hold your DNA together. In other words, consuming scalar enhanced products can protect your DNA from damage.
  • Improve cell wall permeability thus facilitating the intake of nutrients into each and every cell and the elimination of waste from each and every cell. (As a result of the high transmembrane potential mentioned above, scalar enhanced products effectively cause every single cell in your body to detox).
  • Decrease the surface tension of the embedded products, thereby significantly reducing the time required for your body to assimilate those same products.
  • Increase overall body energy levels as a result of increasing cellular energy for trillions of cells
  • Cleanse the blood improving chylomicron levels (protein/fat particles floating in the blood) and triglyceride profiles and fibrin patterns.
  • Improve immune function by as much as 149% as proven in laboratory studies, it.
  • Improve mental focus as demonstrated by increased amplitude of EEG frequencies.
  • Balance out the two hemispheres of the brain, again as measured by EEG tests.
  • Work as an antidepressant since it inhibits the uptake of noradrenaline by PC12 nerve cells.
  • And finally, there's cancer

Cancer

That's right; as if all of the benefits we've listed so far were not enough, the regular intake of scalar enhanced products may very well play a significant role in preventing and/or reversing cancer.
Cancer cells are, almost without exception, low voltage cells. As I mentioned earlier, the optimum cell voltage for most cells in the body is in the 70-90 millivolt range. Cancer cells are almost exclusively in the 15-20 millivolt range.
There have been many theories proposed as to why this is true. The most likely one is that as cell voltage starts to drop into the range where the very survival of the cell may be called into question, the cell begins to proliferate uncontrollably in an attempt to guarantee its "survival."
If you raise cell voltage (which is exactly what can happen when you consume scalar enhanced products), the cell no longer needs to proliferate wildly. In effect, it can become "normal" again. The implications for this in treating cancer could be profound.

Questions & Answers

How long will products hold their charge?

  • The higher the quality of the product to start with, the longer it will hold a charge. High quality “alive” organic type products actually will often display a stronger charge after 6 months then when first charged

Are charged products safe?

  • Absolutely. Again, there is nothing unnatural about scalar energy. It has been around since the creation of the universe. It's all a question of embedding healing/energizing frequencies as opposed to harmful frequencies.

Which frequencies do we embed?

  • Without giving away proprietary information, there are two key frequencies we focus on. First, is the Schuman Resonance. This is in the 7.8 - 8 range. It is the frequency the earth emits when there is nothing around – nothing manmade and no plant or animal life around. It is the innate frequency of the earth. The other frequency is closer to 12 HZ. This is the frequency that you will record in a rainforest – again with nothing manmade around. These are the core scalar frequencies that accomplish everything we've talked about in this report.

What will I notice by using scalar enhanced products?

  • In addition, to every other benefit that we've outline so far, you will find that scalar enhanced products will be absorbed faster, work faster, and produce stronger results.

Conclusion

Several years ago, I discovered and developed the Barron Effect®, which incorporates the principle of energy enhancement to modify the physical structure of herbs during the tincture manufacturing process. The net result is herbal tinctures that are over 100% stronger than anything the world has previously seen.
Over the past two years I have been closely monitoring the work of several research groups (including ex NASA engineers) who have developed  technologies based on similar principles of physics that allow for the embedding of scalar energy fields in nutritional products at meaningful levels.
Enhanced products through Bio-Energization:
  • Enter your body faster and work better than comparable unenhanced products.
  • Enhanced products work to charge every single cell of your body with health promoting scalar waves.
  • The more enhanced products you use and the more often you use them, the more profound the effect. The effect is cumulative.
