			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Older women who drinks in an uncontrolled pattern during pregnancy contributes greater risk to their offspring of having fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD)-said Lisa M.Chiodo of Wayne State University.<br />
Piyadasa W.Kodituwakku of the University of New Mexico expressed the view that their clinical experience showed that children born to older alcoholic mothers display greater cognitive-behavioral deficits and more physical anomalies than those born to younger alcoholic mothers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chiodo and colleagues examined 462 children born to inner-city women. The researchers examined smoking, binge drinking, and the use of drugs like cocaine, marijuana and opiates. The children were tested at 7 years old.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The main finding was that children born to older women who drink during pregnancy have more alcohol-related attention problems than those born to younger women under the age of 29, even if the younger women were binge drinkers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The children born to older drinking mothers have performance more slowly on cognitive tests and made more errors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A study result released now found that all chemical water purifiers in the Indian market fall short of required safety standards. Hence, if you think for your water purifier is safe and provides pure water, please reconsider your opinion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The study conducted by Healthy You Foundation covered all major brands of water purifiers available in the Indian market and they found that they do not disclose adequate information to the consumers.<br />
The ultraviolet based and reverse osmosis system performed better while chemical water purifiers were found to be the worst.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">‘Health ministry should ensure there is a comprehensive mandatory labeling based on international practices or equivalent Indian standards,’ said Bejon Misra, founder of Healthy You Foundation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Misra also said there is a lack of stringent standards and regulations in India to monitor public health and safety issues as a variety of water purifiers make tall claims to purify water.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Bulbul, a woman belonging to Patiala town gave birth to a stillborn baby in a government hospital’s laboratory here Wednesday. Her husband Chottu Ram told that he accompanied her wife Bulbul and they reached the government multi-specialty hospital in sector 16 here from Punjab’s Patiala town, some 70 km from here. The doctors at the hospital failed and refused to attend her wife due to non-completion of formalities for a medical record.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chottu Ram felt that he lost his child due to the negligence of hospital staff. He added that her wife was nine months pregnant and she had regular check up but she was not well since yesterday and after reaching the hospital he insisted and appealed the doctors to attend her on an emergency basis- but they refused for a patient’s medical record.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He told the reporters that Bulbul was in the long queue and within the mean time she was deteriorated and hence I approached doctors for treatment but they asked to go to laboratory and with immense pain she delivered the stillborn baby.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The family members shown their protests against authorities of the hospital and the hospital administration assured to take action if anybody found guilty.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Each year, many people are forced to miss out on activities they enjoy because of sciatica-related pain. The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back all the way down the legs, and the pain associated with sciatica can be severe. Sciatica can be caused by many issues including herniated discs, bone spurs, poor posture, obesity, weak muscles, and major trauma. The symptoms of sciatica include weakness, pain, and numbness anywhere along the sciatic nerve. These symptoms can be incapacitating and most people will do anything they can to relieve their symptoms.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When walking it is important to always maintain proper posture. Walk upright with your head held upward. One way of teaching yourself the proper posture when walking is to get you back against a wall so that your head heels and your buttocks touch the wall and walk outwards maintaining that exact posture. When you sit it is good to remember to keep your thighs parallel with the floor and sit in an upward position and slouch back slightly. Sleeping is always one of the key ways to maintain a day free from lower back pain caused by sciatica. If you wake up pain free you are more likely to have a pain free day. The best way to sleep at night is by sleeping in fetal position with a pillow in between your knees.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many people have found relief from their sciatica pain by consuming large amounts of potassium. Potassium can be found in many foods including bananas, potatoes, and oranges. It has been found that sciatica patients who consume postassium-rich foods experience less pain than those who do not eat foods rich in potassium.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eating is very important, you want to make sure to maintain a healthy weight by eating properly. If you are over weight it puts more pressure on your back causing more pain than you would normally experience if you were at a healthy average weight. Being overweight means making your body carry around the extra burden of those gained pounds by eating unhealt<span id="more-2268"></span>hy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First, you may think about trying acupuncture, where very slim needles will be applied to your skin. Believe it or not, many don’t even feel these, and do find significant relief here, from lower back sciatica. Of course, you will want to be working with an experienced and licensed practitioner. The idea behind this practice is that your energy is unblocked and your health is thereby improved.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some also say that vitamins taken daily can greatly alter your lower back pain caused by sciatica. There are many over the counter vitamins to chose from and the decision can be difficult to make. Some say Omega 3 Oil helps some take Vitamin E, others use MSM , some try a glucosamine sulfate, or some even try a combination of them. They even make an all in one vitamin for the help of subsiding your lower back pain caused by sciatica. Mother Nature’s Sciatol Has 6 differnt vitamins and minerals all focused on relieving your lower back pain caused by sciatica.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">An internationally renowned Australian expert claims that cure will be found within next five to ten years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sharon Lewin, the head of the infectious diseases unit at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne told that the real challenge would be making it accessible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lewin, focused his research in killing the dormant or sleeping virus and she believed that a cure would be found within five to ten years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Stuff.co.nz quoted her saying “”We will have a high-tech solution but then we will need to make it simple enough and cheap enough to be delivered to a lot of people,”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">HIV is not so far treated effectively since the virus is having the hiding spot and when treated it goes to sleep and when it wakes up, we stop the drug. I think the most promising approach is using drugs that can wake up the sleeping virus and then kill it, she added.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“We are looking at how the virus gets into the cells, why it stays asleep, and how we can wake it up again,” she added.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Other promising approaches included using gene therapy to manipulate patients’ cells to make them resistant to HIV, finding more efficient ways to use the anti-retroviral drugs that treat HIV, or finding ways of boosting the immune system of patients with Aids.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sharon was speaking before the Aids 2010 conference in Vienna.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A recent study shows that women who report greater use of cleansing products may be at higher risk of breast cancer than those who use them rarely.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Researchers found that women who reported using more air fresheners and products for mould and mildew had a higher incidence of breast cancer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Julia Brody of Silent Spring Institute, US interviewed 787 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 721 comparison women.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Her study was reported in the journal Environmental Health.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She said, “Women who reported the highest combined cleaning product use had a doubled risk of breast cancer compared to those with the lowest reported use.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The researchers questioned women on product use, beliefs about breast cancer causes, and established and suspected risk factors, according to a Silent Spring Institute statement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They found that cleaning products, air fresheners and insect repellents were associated with breast cancer, but little association was observed with overall pesticide use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It is very important for women to treat their beauty breast in very great manner. If you have already very great shaped breast, for sure you do not need to employ yourselves for getting breast enlargement or something like that. It can be avoided anymore that breast is the center of importance of a women. Some women who are not feeling well with their breast, they will do anything to make it nicer. One best<br />
example is by employing themselves for surgery. It is already understood that plastic surgery is the best and fastest way in making the breast bigger and better in shape. Yet, it is very important that we need to consider it well before it is done.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One way that is very dangerous of this process is that about the injection of the silicon inside of the body. If the one who performs <a href="http://www.cosmeticinstitute.org/">Breast augmentation Orange County</a> is not he expert one it is going to be very risky for them. The selection of great agent for this is very important to do. If it is not the result will be very dangerous that is dead. Thus, if your breast is already in very great condition, you do not need to employ your selves for this kind of thing. Just treat them in the best way and the beauty will be more and more in its sense.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you still have mercury amalgam fillings in your mouth? You have probably heard that they are linked to many conditions like depression, chronic fatigue, thyroid problems, food allergies and yeast conditions, to just name a few…</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">You may say that your mercury fillings are not causing you any trouble, which is great, but don’t wait until you have symptoms to have them removed. Removing the mercury fillings will cause them to release even more mercury, so it is better to do it when you are in good shape and properly prepared.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">For many toxic substances no symptoms are notices until a critical level is reached or you are compromised in other ways, like through great emotional stress. Mercury leaves the tooth as a vapor when you eat, drink and brush your teeth, and it enters and accumulates in your body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">But don’t rush out now to have your fillings removed immediately. It is important that you find the right dentist to do the job and take the time to prime your body before removing these toxic fillings. Even if you think you have no mercury fillings left, it may be worthwhile to visit a biological dentist to make sure all of it is actually gone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Find the Right Dentist for the Job</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">To find a mercury free or biological dentist, ask around or search through any of these organizations:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">- International Association of Mercury Free Dentist (IAMFD) 800 335 7755 www.dentalwellness4u.com</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">- International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology ( IAOMT ) (863) 429-6373 www.iaomt.org</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">- International Association of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (281) 651-1745 www.iabdm.org</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">- Holistic Dental Association (619) 923-3120 www.holisticdental.org<span id="more-2225"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Ask the Right Questions</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are a few questions you are smart to ask your dentist before you book your appointment to have your fillings removed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">* How many fillings are removed at one time? The answer to this question will depend on your general state of health; just make sure that only one quadrant of your mouth is worked on at each visit, this is to make sure meridians are not messed with.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">* How are you protected during the procedure? Make sure you get oxygen, vitamin C, cotton or a rubber dam in your mouth and activated charcoal to take after the procedure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Do they offer bio-compatibility testing for the material that will replace the mercury? If it is not done in the office, ask for a referral to someone who can help.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is wise to follow the suggestions below for at least 3-4 weeks before starting removal of your mercury fillings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Eat the Right Diet</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eat a diet limited in sugar and processed foods, but make sure your diet is high in protein since the sulfur bearing amino acids will help in the detoxification.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Tune Up Your Liver &amp; Kidneys</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Start with a liver &amp; kidney cleanse so they are ready to deal with the increased mercury levels right after the removal of the fillings. Use herbs and drainage remedies to do this.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. Stock Up on the Good Minerals &amp; Antioxidants</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vitamin C and Vitamin E are antioxidants and will help protect your cells against free radical activity. Take 250 – 500 mg of vitamin C with every meal and 400 units of vitamin E daily.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Supplementing with quality minerals to ensure a healthy mineral base is also essential, since the body is forced to use toxic metals if there are no others around. Especially the trace minerals selenium and zinc are important in mercury detoxification, but avoid extra copper and iron, unless instructed otherwise by your health care practitioner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Minerals need sufficient hydrochloric acid in the stomach to be ionized and absorbed into the body where it is needed. If you are over age 50 or have food allergies it is recommended that you take a digestive enzyme with hydrochloric acid (Betaine Hydrochloride) at the beginning of your meal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">6. Culture Your Internal Garden</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Take a high potency quality strain of probiotics, like HMF Super Powder from Genestra. This is to make sure you have a strong intestinal flora to support you during the detox.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">7. Be Very Regular</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since 90% of mercury leaves the body through the bowel make sure it is moving well, or you may end up making things worse! You should have 1 – 2 bowel movements daily. If you need help to get your bowel going take 3 tbsp of Hemp Seeds daily, drink lots of water and take a green powder that is naturally high in magnesium.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">A final caution to not start chelating with products like chlorella and cilantro until all the fillings are removed, since you don’t want to start pulling mercury out of your teeth and in to your system. This is only done AFTER all the fillings are removed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s check out deductibles in Tonik health insurance plans first since that is such an important part of any health plan. A deductible is an amount that you must pay first for certain benefits before the carrier starts to kick in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For example, if you blow your knee out and it’s $15,000 to repair (which isn’t too far off) and your Tonik health plan has a $1500 deductible, you will need to pay the first $1500 of that $15,000 bill towards your deductible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How in-network affects the deductible</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Tonik health plans are PPO plans. This means you can use any doctor but you will pay much less out of pocket when you use providers that are in Tonik’s PPO network. You can check the the doctor network online to make sure your doctor or local hospital of choice is part of the network. In a true emergency (be real careful about this), Tonik will likely not hold you to a network but always try to use in-network providers anyway. Your definition of emergency may be different than the carrier’s so you want to be careful.<span id="more-2224"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Benefits carved out from the deductible</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tonik health insurance plans typically offer some benefits before the deductible is met. This usually occurs with office visits where you have a copay for the consultation and Generic RX wher eyou have a copay for generic medications. Some fo the Tonik plans also offer coverage for emergency room services with a copay that would normally be subject to the deductible with other health plans. For the office copay, some Tonik plans cap the number of copays in a calendar year afterwhich, office visits are subject to the main deductible. These copays give immediate coverage for more day-to-day benefits so they’re a nice addition to the core health plan.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Deductible/Max out of pocket</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tonik health insurance is differenct from most insurance plans in that the deductible can also be the max out of pocket. The max out of pocket is important because it tells you when you will stop paying (assuming in-network, covered benefits) for the really big bills. Let’s say you have a $50,000 hospital bill. With an in-network provider, your deductible/max out of pocket caps your expenses for covered benefits. Copays may continue but your big bills stop at the max. Most plans have a deductible after which, you pay a percentage until you hit the max out of pocket (two separate numbers). This combination of deductible/max out of pocket makes Tonik plans much cleaner and easier to understand…something that’s rare in the health insurance market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Choice of Deductible and pricing</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The different plan options in Tonik are pretty simple as well. Outside of some copay differences, the real item changing is the deductible and the price. Want to lower your monthly premium? Pick a higher deductible. Essentially, you want to find the right of mix of deductible and monthly cost to fit both your budget and your tolerance for out of pocket expense if something happens medically.</p>
