Terapi Telanjang ala Psikolog Cantik

Sarah White

New York: Apakah Anda termasuk orang yang sangat sulit terbuka kepada orang lain? Mungkin Anda tak lagi tertutup jika berkonsultasi dengan psikolog cantik yang satu ini. Karena Sarah White sang psikolog, menerapkan metode terapi telanjang di depan pasien. Menarik bukan?

Psikolog cantik dan muda ini, Sarah masih berusia 24 tahun, yakin betul terapi telanjang sangat ampuh untuk mengorek keterangan isi perasaan pria tentang gejolak persoalan yang sedang mereka hadapi.

New York Daily News menulis, Sarah White benar-benar menanggalkan pakaiannya satu per satu dalam sesi terapi telanjangnya tersebut layaknya seorang penari telanjang. Metode konselingnya ini sangat membantu para pasien pria di New York untuk mengungkap semua keluhannya.�

Sesi konseling White ini dimulai dengan terapi telanjang via online, yakni melalui webcam dan teks chat, dan dikenai biaya sebesar 150 dolar AS. Ia memulainya dengan berpakaian rapi dan untuk sesi yang membutuhkan waktu lama, ia mulai menanggalkan pakaiannya sampai telanjang. Untuk sesi selanjutnya, bahkan ia juga menawarkan sesi terapi serupa secara face to face.

"Untuk pria khususnya, yang jarang pergi ke terapi dibanding para wanita, terapi ini lebih menarik. Pendekatan ini ternyata lebih menginspirasi untuk terapi. Selama sesi saya akan menggunakan kekuatan gairah untuk membiarkan Anda mendapatkan kontrol lebih besar atas hidup Anda," ucap White.

"Tujuan menggunakan ketelanjangan adalah agar Anda dapat memahami diri sendiri dan dunia Anda yang lebih baik, sehingga Anda dapat merasa hebat dan kuat, dan kesenangan yang Anda rasakan selama sesi dapat menyebabkan lebih banyak kesenangan di luar sesi," jelas White.

White juga mengatakan kaum pria yang menjadi pasiennya amat bervariasi. Baik profesi maupun problematikanya. Sekitar 30-an orang kliennya adalah mahasiswa dengan masalah seksual, pria paruh baya dengan masalah hubungan suami-istri, dan bahkan beberapa pasangan wanita yang hanya ingin menikmati chatting telanjangnya.

Tidak mengherankan, para psikolog profesional menyambut idenya itu dengan penentangan. Diana Kirschner, seorang psikolog klinis New York, mengatakan kepada Daily News, "Dia menggunakan kata terapi di sini, tetapi saya tidak menganggap ini sebuah terapi. Saya menganggap ini sebagai porno interaktif internet soft-core."

Interaksi seksual antara pasien dan terapis ini juga dianggap sangat tidak etis oleh American Psychoanalytic Association, sebuah organisasi psikologi terbesar dan tertua di AS. Bahkan kontak fisik saja sudah melanggar kode etik profesional. Tetapi, White menekankan tidak ada kontak fisik dalam terapi telanjangnya. (Vin)

100 Women Get Naked In The Name Of Autism

A child or adult diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder will have challenges in the same 3 developmental areas.
Autism is usually diagnosed in a child before they are 3 years old so when your child is born you don’t know they are autistic because it does not have any physical symptoms. It is called the ‘autistic spectrum’ because you can be affected by these difficulties to various degrees from mild to severe.

The areas of difficulty are :

1. Communication
2. Social interaction and
3. Imagination

Which are sometimes called the ‘triad of impairments’.

My son who has just turned 4 in July has a form of Autism but he has not yet been diagnosed properly because there are so many types of it out there. My son has communication difficulties as he can not yet talk which does affect his social interaction with other children but this has not stopped him starting mainstream school this September and all the children are really nice to him which is great and with his one to one support I know he will develop at his own pace but alongside other children his age that except him for who he is.

The Autistic spectrum is very broad. You may meet a person with Downs syndrome with autistic tendencies or a grown man or woman with a family who only received a diagnosis in their adult life. You can be mildly or severely affected by all of the areas described in the triad, or have more difficulty in one area, and less in others. Therefore every person on the autistic spectrum is unique with their own very specific challenges abilities and gifts.

The amount of people diagnosed with autism has in the last 20 years gone up from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 150. That is a huge increase and it’s prompted a debate and extensive research to determine why there is such a dramatic increase in such a short length of time. Some say it is down to doctors being better able to make a diagnosis.
There is of course the MMR debate and some say that there is a clear link between diet and nutrition and the increased serge of autism. Others say there is a Genetic link..
Here is one story about a delightful little girl called Rosie who is just 5 years old and is affected by severe autism requiring a one-to-one, intensive education program that’s specially designed for her needs.
This of course costs money, and her family and friends have been fundraising in a variety of spectacular ways.
To raise money for Rosie a campaign was launched to get 100 women to pose naked in a field forming the word AUTISM for the front cover of the calendar. By the end of the first week they had 78 women signed up.
They have had 3,000 calendars printed, and if they sell all of them they will raise £26,000 for Rosie, and there fundraising burden will be lifted for nearly 2 years.

Hati-hati dengan gelang merek POWER BALANCE

Gelang (Power Balance) memberikan pernyataan yang salah yang diklaim dapat meningkatkan keseimbangan telah diminta untuk melakukan pengembalian uang kepada pembelinya.

Iklan yang menyesatkan tentang klaim keunggulan gelang dan aksesoris Power Balance yang tidak terbukti, telah ditarik oleh produsen setelah ada Intervensi oleh Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

Power Balance telah setuju untuk tidak lagi menyuplai produk yang berlabel menyesatkan dan pengembailan uang telah ditawarkan untuk mereka yang telah terlanjur membeli produk.

Gelang tersebut, lengkap dengan hologram yang dibuat dengan frekuensi 7.83mhz di pasarkan sebagai cara untuk meningkatkan keseimbangan, kekuatan dan fleksibelitas.

Akan tetapi para skeptik telah meragukan kebenaran bahwa frekuensi bias dirubah menjadi hologram apalagi memberikan efek kepada tubuh.

ACCC penyampaikan kekhawatirannya tentang klaim tersebut akan menyesatkan konsumen untuk percaya bahwa produk Power Balance memiliki keunggulan yang sebenarnya palsu.
Ketua ACCC Graeme Samuel mengatakan bahwa tidak ada fakta ilmiah yang mendukung.
“Konsumen harus hati hati terhadap produk yang mirip di pasaran yang memberikan klaim yang belum terbukti.” Katanya.

“Mereka mungkin tidak lebih menguntungkan dari gelang karet.”
Power Balance telah mengakui bahwa tidak ada kredibelitas dasar secara ilmiah dari klaim tersebut dan tidak ada dasar yang masuk akal untuk memberikan representasi tentang keuntungan dari produk mereka.
Comment: Trik yang sangat menguntungkan.
Mereka (Power Balance) juga sadar bahwa perbuatan mereka bisa melanggar Trade Practices Act (1974). Tentang penipuan dan penyesatan.
Gelang gelang tersebut telah dipromosikan secara luas di media dengan berbagai macam selebriti olah raga.
“Pada saat suatu produk diiklankan besar besaran, dijual di toko toko olah raga yang besar, dan di pakai oleh para selebriti, konsumen cenderung memberikan suatu legitimasi / pembenaran terhadap produk tersebut dan imej sedang terbuat” kata Mr Samuel
“Para retailer yang tetap menjual produk tersebut dengan representasi/imej menyesatkan di kemasaan di peringatan bahwa mereka bisa menjadi sasaran ACCC”

Gelang gelang tersebut dipakai oleh berbagai macam selebritis seperti bintang AFL Brendan Fevola, bintang NRL Benji Marshall, pebasket Shaquille O’Neal dan pemain kriket Inggris Kapten Andrew Strauss.
Power Balance sekarang akan membuat berbagai macam perubahan dari cara mereka memasarkan Gelang karet mereka, dengan mempublikasikan iklan yang tepat, merubah websitenya dan merubah .

Hati hati dengan gelang merek Power Balance berita ini diambil dari yahoo Australia, intinya Power balance diminta untuk mengembalikan uang pembeli karena terbukti secara scientific tidak memberikan keuntungan seperti yang diiklankan. Hal tersebut dilakukan setelah Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (komisi independent pemerintah Australia yang bergerak untuk melindungi pembeli, pebisnis sekaligus memonitor kompetisi jual beli) mengintervensi merek tersebut dan menganggap mereka melakukan penipuan konsumen.

The shocking image that lays bare Haiti’s torment: Desperate and naked woman collapses on cholera stricken streets

• Neighbouring Dominican Republic confirms first case of cholera

Naked and destitute, she lies curled on one side, arms pulled protectively to her chest.

But despite appearing the manifestation of human misery, no-one stops to even give her a second glance on the devastated streets of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.

Still reeling from the earthquake, struggling against a cholera outbreak which has claimed 1,000 lives, Haiti’s citizens are consumed simply by their own survival.

 

 Horror: A woman lies on the pavement near the General Hospital, in Port-au-Prince where people infected by cholera are being treated 

h

Charity Medecins Sans Frontieres have said that they have treated over 16,500 people for cholera at their clinics 

Today, the Dominican Republic has confirmed its first case of cholera.

The man was a Haitian citizen who had recently returned from a 12-day holiday in the neighbouring country. The news alarmed Dominicans, but so far no locally originated cases of the disease, which can be prevented with good hygiene and sanitation, have been reported.

The Haitian government said on Tuesday that the cholera outbreak had claimed over 1,000 victims in the country, as it sent top officials to north Haiti in hopes of quelling violent protests against U.N. peacekeepers accused of spreading the disease.

As the barricades burned, the cholera continued spreading across Haiti and has become a potential threat to the island of Hispaniola.

Haiti’s police chief, the health minister and other Cabinet officials headed to Cap-Haitien, the country’s second largest city, where protesters erected barricades of flaming tyres and other debris and clashed with UN troops.

At least two demonstrators died, one of them shot by a member of the multinational peacekeeping force that has been trying to keep order since 2004.

A UN World Food Programme warehouse was looted and burned.

The cholera outbreak that began last month has brought increased misery to the entire country, still struggling with the aftermath of last January’s earthquake.

 

Death toll rises: the cholera outbreak has now claimed more than 1,000 lives in Haiti 

 

Riots: Locals in Haiti’s second city Cap Haitien throw stones at UN peacekeepers who they blame for brining cholera to the country 

But anger has been particularly acute in the north, where the infection is newer, health care sparse and people have died at more than twice the rate of the region where the epidemic was first noticed.

The health ministry said Tuesday that the official death toll hit 1,034 as of Sunday. Figures are released following two days of review.

Aid workers say the official numbers may understate the epidemic. While the Ministry of Health says more than 16,700 people have been hospitalized nationwide, Medecins Sans Frontieres reports that its clinics alone have treated at least 16,500.

On Tuesday, during a second day of rioting throughout northern Haiti, local reporters said a police station was burned in Cap-Haitien and rocks thrown at peacekeeping bases.

In the town of Limbe, west of Cap-Haitien, the unrest carried on throughout Monday night as screams and chants filled the streets, according to American journalist Beth Macy, who accompanied a Virginia medical mission to Haiti. The group hunkered down in the hospital as protesters pelted the gate with stones, she said in a blog post to the Roanoake Times newspaper.

President Rene Preval called for the violence to stop Tuesday as rumours circulated of possible Wednesday protests in Port-au-Prince. He said barricades were keeping people from getting the care they needed, and admonished that looting would not help stem the tide of the disease.

Human misery: A woman walks past a naked, unconscious man on a street just outside the quake-destroyed Presidential Palace in Port-au-Prince 

Desperate battle: The UN and other aid agencies have been working round the clock to provide clean drinking water to stem the spread of cholera

The UN cancelled flights carrying soap, medical supplies and personnel to Cap-Haitien and Port-de-Paix because of the violence, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.

Oxfam suspended water chlorination projects and the World Health Organization halted training of medical staff, the UN humanitarian office added in its news release.

The violence has combined some Haitians’ long-standing resentment of the 12,000-member UN military mission with the internationally shared suspicion that the UN base could have been a source of the infection.

Health experts have called for an independent investigation into whether Nepalese peacekeepers introduced the South Asian strain of cholera to Haiti, where no case of cholera had ever been documented before late October.

The UN denies responsibility, and a mission spokesman said protests were politically motivated. Haiti’s national elections are scheduled for November 28.

Grim task: Workers wear protective masks as they carry the coffin of a cholera victim to be buried 

Cholera is transmitted by faeces and can be all but prevented if people have access to safe drinking water and regularly wash their hands.

But sanitary conditions are non-existent in much of Haiti, and the disease has spread across the countryside and to nearly all the country’s major population centers, including the capital, Port-au-Prince. There are concerns it could eventually sicken hundreds of thousands of people.

Kecanduan Operasi Plastik, Wajah Disuntik Minyak Goreng..!!!

Obsesi agar terlihat cantik mendorong seorang wanita Korea menyuntikkan minyak goreng ke wajahnya. Kecanduan bedah plastik membuat wajahnya tidak dapat dikenali lagi.
Wanita itu adalah Hang Mioku. Wanita yang berusia 48 tahun mengaku pertama kali menjalani bedah plastik di usia 28 tahun. Ia pun ketagihan, bahkan ketika ia pindah bekerja ke Jepang, ia terus melanjutkan obsesinya. Yaitu, menjalani sejumlah operasi plastik, yang kebanyakan ‘permak’ di bagian wajah, seperti yang dikutip dari telegraph.co.uk.

Dari operasi ke operasi, bentuk wajah makin tak berbentuk dan mulai membesar. Namun baginya saat melihat wajahnya di cermin, ia masih menganggap wajahnya terlihat cantik.
Hingga akhirnya dokter bedah langganannya tak mau lagi mengoperasi wajahnya, dan menyarankan Mioku untuk berkonsultasi ke psikiater. Menurut dokter bedahnya, obsesi Mioku sudah merupakan gelaja dari kelainan psikologis.
Ketika ia kembali ke Korea, wajah Mioku sudah berubah drastis, bahkan keluarganya pun sudah tak bisa mengenalinya. Setelah menyadari wajah anaknya makin membengkak, orangtua Mioku mengantar putrinya ke dokter untuk memperbaiki wajah Mioku.
Sayangnya, perawatan tersebut memakan biaya besar, dan akhirnya Mioku kembali ke kebiasaan lamanya, yaitu menjalani operasi plastik murah dan tidak aman.

Hingga akhirnya, ia menemukan doker yang bersedia memberikan suntikan silikon. Bahkan, dokter tersebut juga memberikan Mioku suntikan dan silikon sehingga ia bisa menyuntikkan silikon sendiri ke wajahnya.
Parahnya, saat dia kehabisan silikon, Mioku menggantikan silikon dengan minyak goreng, dan menyuntikan minyak goreng ke wajahnya. Bukan makin baik, wajahnya makin rusak dan makin membengkak. Mioku pun mendapat julukan ‘kipas angin berdiri’, karena berwajah besar namun bertubuh kecil.
Kejadian yang dialami Mioku pun diketahui banyak orang, hingga satu stasiun teve Korea menampilkannya di salah satu acaranya pada 2009. Melihat bentuk wajahnya yang sangat rusak membuat banyak penonton merasa kasihan dan memberikan donasi untuk mengecilkan ukuran wajahnya.
Pada operasi pertama, dokter bedah mengeluarkan 60 gr cairan asing dari wajahnya, dan 200 gr dari lehernya. Setelah beberapa kali operasi, wajahnya mulai mengecil. Namun, wajahnya masih belum bisa kembali ke bentuk normal.
Akhirnya, Mioku menyadari kesalahannya yang amat terobsesi ingin cantik. Yang hanya ia inginkan saat ini adalah wajahnya kembali seperti dulu, seperti sebelum operasi plastik.

Manfaat Teh : Teh Hijau dan Hitam Baik untuk Jantung

 

JAKARTA, Bicara mengenai manfaat dan khasiat daun teh, umumnya kita akan lebih terfokus pada teh hijau. Padahal, baik teh hijau maupun teh hitam sama-sama punya khasiat terhadap kesehatan. Hampir semua jenis teh ternyata berperan besar terhadap kesehatan peminumnya. Hal ini karena teh mengandung senyawa antioksidan seperti polifenol, flavonoid, L-theanin.

Seperti yang diuraikan oleh Peter CH Hollman, peneliti dari Waginingen University, Belanda, senyawa antioksidan dalam teh berguna sebagai zat antikanker, menekan hormon stres, dan meningkatkan fungsi pembuluh darah yang akan mencegah penyakit kardiovaskular, seperti serangan jantung dan stroke.

"Teh merupakan sumber flavonoid yang punya efek langsung terhadap kesehatan pembuluh darah," kata Hollman dalam jumpa pers acara Tea Science Symposium yang diadakan oleh Lipton Institute of Tea di Jakarta, Rabu (14/7/2010).

Dalam penelitian meta-analisis Hollman, terbukti bahwa mereka yang mengonsumsi teh tiga cangkir setiap hari memiliki pengurangan risiko terkena stroke hingga 20 persen. "Baik teh hitam maupun teh hijau punya efek perlindungan yang sama," paparnya. Dalam berbagai riset, pengujian sudah dilakukan terhadap hubungan teh dengan penyakit kardiovaskular, baik yang sifatnya jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang.

Menurut penjelasan Visvajit De Alwis, General Manager Tea Buying Division PT Unilever Indonesia, teh hitam adalah teh berwarna hitam kecoklat-coklatan, bercita rasa "kaya", yang dihasilkan lewat proses fermentasi. Adapun teh hijau adalah teh berwarna hijau yang dihasilkan melalui proses pengukusan cepat untuk menghambat terjadinya perubahan warna daun dan terjadinya fermentasi. Di Indonesia, jenis teh hitam lebih populer dibanding teh hijau..

MENDETEKSI WARAS TIDAKNYA SESEORANG BISA DENGAN AROMA JERUK

Kita ingin tau seseorang punya bakat gila atau tidak?

Mudah saja, minta dia meminta mencium jeruk. Jika bisa menebak, berarti dia masih “oke”. Namun, kalau tidak, bisa saja ia punya bakat terkena gangguan mental alias gila. Itulah temuan tim dari Colombia University, Amerika Serikat, yang menyebutkan aroma jeruk merupakan satu dari sepuluh aroma yang dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui apakah seseorang memiliki kemungkinan tidak waras.

Aroma lainnya termasuk lilac, kulit, cengkeh, mentol, nanas, gas alami, sabun, dan stroberry.

Menurut penilitian tersebut, penciuman merupakan indera pertama yang hilang saat seseorang menjadi gila. Tim tersebut melakukan uji coba kepada 150 orang yang minimal memiliki kerusakan tingkat kesadaran. Mereka yang memiliki bakat gila ternyata tidak memiliki kemampuan mengidentifikasi sepuluh aroma tersebut.

Menurut Dr. Revanand, pemimpin penelitian tersebut, uji coba ini akan membantu mendiagnosis awal. ” Ini sangat penting bagi pasien dan keluarga untuk menentukan perawatan,” katanya. Namun, profesor Tim Jacob, ahli penciuman dari Cardiff University, menyarankan agar dilakukan uji coba lain yang sudah lebih dulu direkomendasikan secara medis. Alasannya, Penciuman bisa dipengaruhi banyak hal, misalnya karena flu atau demam.

Makanan yang kelebihan kalori dapat membuat Anda sulit melepaskan diri dari pakaian yang super besar. Laporan pada 2005 yang diterbitkan University of Minnesota School Of Public Health, menyebutkan konsumsi fast food dapat menyebabkan epidemi obesitas. Ini mungkin disebabkan oleh makanan dengan ukuran porsi besar, yang mengandung jumlah kalori yang berlebihan.

Amazing Weight Loss Story of David Smith

Diet Food Recipe - Resep Makanan Untuk Diet

Unique Tasty Plans That Help With Weight loss

I have discovered a diet food recipe plan that has its stock in the way food tastes. To be truthful, I cannot stand bland, tasteless food. It should be a crime to serve tasteless food. This diet plan that I found draws heavily on the stimulating Mediterranean type of food.

I like this kind of food. It is really tasty but I find that I get a lot of gas with this type of food. Mediterranean food focuses more on taste and appearance rather than calorie consciousness.

Fresh vegetables, olive oils, wines, lean meats and nuts are some of the ingredients that find their way into this particular dieting plan. Actually, nuts and oils are a rare find in any diet plan of today.

Your food must be tasty, if not, under this plan, it is rejected outright. Saturated fats, white flour and too much sugar are just plain bad for the human body, and they also are not accepted.

Is it your desire to lose weight quickly? Personally I do not go that way. I dislike quick fixes. I figure that it took me a long time to put these pounds on. It is probably going to take me a long time to take them off. But, whatever rocks your boat. Everyone is different.

The first ten days of the plan is devoted to quick weight loss. Clients are also encouraged to wean themselves off sugar and white flour.

During this time period you can tuck into things like tomatoes, greens, onions, whole wheat products, low fat cheeses and here is where the olive oil comes in. You are also encouraged to consume natural foods as well.

Two other phases are incorporated into the picture. I like the second one which focuses on weight loss and the third zeroes in on weight maintenance. Portion control is discussed and additional food choices are taken on board. Oddly enough exercise is not a biggie with this plan. Maybe that is why it does so well.

Unfortunately, this type of plan fits right in with the sedentary lifestyle. This is not good. Balance is important in any weight loss plan. The heart needs conditioning. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in America.

We need to condition ourselves through physical activity. Any plan that does not include proper physical activity is not a heart smart weight loss plan.

This diet food recipe plan helps you avoid trans fats which are a big no no! As a matter of fact, people who are not concerned with losing weight are drawn to this plan. The reason for this is because of the tasty recipes and food quality.

A Secret Of Anti Aging

By Stephanie Relfe B.Sc. (Sydney)

Anti aging is possible. The body is designed to heal and repair itself with the aid of proper nutrition. The body requires two vital materials to complete this - energy and raw material. These two requirements are needed to maintain the cell's proper functions. The body is made up of cells and all cells are living. All living things need food. Each cell needs the proper food to keep it strong. Cells die and replace themselves at various intervals. To understand antin-aging, understand that when a cell replaces itself it has three options that it can replace itself with:

1. A cell may replace itself with a weaker cell each time. A cell will do this if it hasn't had the right nutritional foods available to it. This process is called degeneration.

2. A cell can replace itself with the same strength cell. This means the body doesn't improve. That is, you have a chronic condition.

3. The cell is capable of replacing itself with a stronger and better cell. This will happen only if the cell has an abundance of energy and the right raw materials. This process is called regeneration. It is anti-aging.

Many of the foods that we have been told are good for us in actual fact may cause degeneration. This can be shown by muscle testing. Your kinesiologist can supply you with information on which foods to avoid to stop degeneration, and which foods to buy to aid regeneration and anti-aging.

FOODS WHICH CAN CAUSE DEGENERATION AND AGING ARE:

High levels of carbohydrate

Sugar

Milk (especially homogenized milk) and cheese

Caffeine - Including Tea, Coffee, chocolate, cola, chuppa chups

Chocolate (it contains dangerous levels of lead!)

Cigarettes

White flour

Microwaved food

Chemicals such as flouride (which is a rat poison)

Artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame / nutrasweet)

Alcohol

Processed foods

Artificial Colorings (as in Gatorade)

Additives

Monosodium glutamate (MSG)

Preserved meat

Moderate to high levels of meat

Meat from animals on unnatural diets (eg pork)

Margarine

Vegetable oil

Canola oil

Cotton seed oil

Olestra

Hydrogenated oils

Oil that is not cold pressed / expeller pressed (use olive oil, butter or ghee)

Deep fried foods

Chips / French fries

Puffed grains

Soy products other than soy sauce, miso and tofu (eg soy milk & soy oil)

Meat and eggs raised by `normal' methods which have many toxins and hormones.

Seafood which are garbage eaters (eg oysters)

Foods with high levels of mercury. This includes most fish, such as tuna.

Genetically Modified Food (GMOs). At present this is about 50% of all soy and corn. Even organic soy and corn can have GMOs in it unless otherwise stated.

A MAJOR cause of aging is heavy metals. Virtually all of us suffer from heavy metal toxicity.

The best way to remove heavy metals is by chelation, by I.V. or by suppository.

FOODS WHICH CAN HELP REGENERATION AND ANTI-AGING INCLUDE:

RAW nuts, seeds, soaked and sprouted grains

Fruit and vegetables especially sprouts

Green leafy vegetables

Legumes (bean and lentils - learn Indian cooking to make them interesting)

Goji Juice & Berries - Possibly the best anti-aging substance in the world.

Super Food

Seeds

Bee pollen (not for everyone-some are allergic to pollen from some areas)

Kambucha

Celtic sea salt

Spirulina

Seaweed

Wheatgrass juice

Barley greens

Aloe Vera

Antioxidants (eg vitamin C, vitamin E, pycnogenols, coenzyme Q10)

Olive oil

Evening primrose oil

MSM (organic sulphur)

Foods with omega 3 fatty acids (eg flaxseed oil) and

Foods with omega 4 & 5 fatty acids (eg evening primrose and fish oil).

Gentle sunlight (vitamin D)

Gentle exercise.

A good night's sleep every night, minimum eight hours.

In addition, frequent drinks of good water is crucial. We believe the best water is water that has been filtered by reverse osmosis. Next best would be spring water. Tap water is not as good because of the chlorine and the fluoride (although it is better than nothing). Distilled water is not as good for you - its energy has been altered. In Europe distilled water is labelled ``not for human consumption". Mineral water is not as good because the minerals are not in a form your body likes. Water that comes from the top of mountains is no good because, according to genius Victor Schauberger, it is lacking in oxygen. Many people's health problems and anti-aging would improve if they would just drink more good water!

Nutritionists like to divide food into a number of different groups. I suggest that you think about dividing food up into two food groups. One group produces acids when it is digested. The other group produces alkalies when it is digested. Our bodies are constantly producing waste products, much the same as the exhaust coming from the back of your car. Waste products are acidic. They are called toxins. Toxins cause tiredness, pain and aging. Therefore, if you want more energy and less pain and anti-aging, you need to eat less acid-producing food.

Foods that produce acids are carbohydrates and proteins. 'Foods' such as tea, coffee, softdrinks, sugar, flavourings, artificial sweetener and preserved meats are even more acidic i.e. toxic. And pollutants (such as heavy metals) and pesticides are even worse.

To neutralise an acid you need an alkali. The only foods that produce alkalis are fruit and vegetables, particularly leafy, green vegetables, such as sprouts, parsley and cabbage. That is why people should eat LOTS of fruit and especially vegetables, for anti-aging. Raw is best. And steamed is much, much better than boiled (as it retains the vitamins and minerals).

Once you begin to understand this, it is easy to see why so many people are suffering from health problems. Have a look at what people put into their shopping carts next time you are at the supermarket. (Lots of white bread, soft drinks and preserved meats). And have a look at what people have on their plate next time you are in a restaurant. Lots of carbohydrate and protein, and very few vegetables, except maybe for some lettuce.

This is not to say that we don't need protein and complex carbohydrates. We do. The key is BALANCE. We need to balance the acid-producing foods we eat with much more alkali-producing foods, especially if we suffer from symptoms such as tiredness,pain, illness, gas and skin problems.

The other thing to bear in mind is that the body has hundreds of different chemical reactions going on, for which it needs at least NINETY different things, including vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Therefore, people need more variety in their diet, to ensure that they get everything their body needs, for effective anti-aging.

Everyone knows what depression feels like. Everyone feels the blues at times. Sadness, discontent, and fatigue are natural parts of life. There is a relation between the blues and clinical depression, but the difference is like the difference between the sniffles and pneumonia.

Depressive disorders are whole person illnesses; they touch the body, feelings, thoughts, and behavior. The depression itself can make us feel as if it's of no use to search for help. The nice news is that 80 to 90 percent of people with depression can be treated successfully, but the bad news is that only one sufferer in three seeks treatment. More bad news is that not quite half the American public perceives depression as a character flaw, rather than an illness or emotional disorder. In addition, only half of all cases of depression are exactly diagnosed, and only half of those get adequate treatment.

We tend to muddle depression, sadness, and grief. But the opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality - the power to experience a full range of emotion, including happiness, excitement, sadness, and grief. Depression is not an emotion itself. It's not sadness or grief, it's an illness. When we feel at our worst, sad, self-absorbed, and helpless, we are experiencing what people with depression experience, but they don't recover from those moods without help.

The trademark of depression is a insistent sad or empty mood, sometimes experienced as tension or anxiety. Life is with out pleasure. People with slight depressions may go through the motions of eating, sex, work, or play, but the activities seem like pointless; people with more severe depression withdraw from these activities, feeling too worn-out, tense, or hostile to take part. There is often a nagging fatigue, a sense of being incapable of focusing, a feeling of being inefficient.

People with depression generally feel a lowered self-esteem. In a depression, you may feel that you are a defenseless victim of fate, but also feel that you don't deserve any better. Feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness are common.

There are often a host of physical symptoms, of which sleep disturbances are key. People may have trouble falling asleep or may wake up early without feeling refreshed. Others may sleep excessively, again without feeling rested. Appetite may increase or decrease. There may be difficulty in sexual functioning. There may be harassing aches and pains that don't act in response to medical treatment. But there are physical illnesses that cause symptoms like depression - Lyme depression, diabetes, thyroid conditions, anemia - and depressions can cause physical symptoms like other diseases.

If you are feeling depressed, it is important to be sure that an underlying health problem does not exist, and you should see your physician for a checkup. At the same time, if you know you have a health problem and are feeling depressed, don't presume you will feel better once the health problem is under control.

There is a sequential process in the recognition of depression. First is a stage of confused pain in which the sufferer knows he suffers, but doesn't know why. People often blame circumstances. Adolescents blame their home lives, married people blame their spouses, and employees blame their bosses. But there is recognition that the pain is not ordinary.

The second stage is recognition that something is definatley amiss. It may be that external circumstances have changed but the pain is on going, or it may be a slow recognition that the suffering is so dangerous that circumstances can't be blamed. This is a painful recognition that often takes years. It is an acknowledgment of a damaged self. But because of the nature of depression, the self-blame and guilt that are manifestations of the disease, this acceptance does not always lead to seeking help.

People then may move to the third stage, a crisis that frequently leads to professional intervention and diagnosis. It is often a suicide attempt or psychiatric hospitalization. The diagnosis often provides hope, that treatment or a cure is possible, and explanation, a way to understand what has only been confusion before. The fact is that this is a diagnosis of a mental illness, with all the shame and stigma that that entails.

The fourth stage involves acceptance of an illness identity. Depression comes to be seen as an outside agent invading the self, rather than as a manifestation of the self.

It is essential that anyone suffering from depression gets good help from a competent, qualified professional. If the warning signs are clear, always seek a professional diagnosis. Going to a health professional with your problems could prove, at worse, embarrassing, if the problem is really just a seasonal case of the blues that can be treated with without medical intervention, but the potential cost of failing to diagnose a serious case of depression should far outweigh any concern about conceivable embarrassment.

Beautiful Face Skin (Skin Care Info)

To have beautiful, soft, radiant skin you need to eat plenty of the right fresh fruits, vegetables, fiber, and water. Water and fiber are critical because it helps to move out toxins using the regular channels of elimination rather than using the skin as an exit point.

A word of Caution: Sudden face or body eruptions can indicate a potentially serious medical condition. If your blemishes look large and like welts, this could be caused by a serious medical condition and you would need to see your doctor immediately.

You can deal with you acne or skin problems by, also applying known nutritional and herbal remedies that give you better health and give your skin the nutrients it needs.

The beauty of your skin is a reflection of the health of your organs and upon your psychological condition. The way the inside of your body looks like is reflected on your face, physical appearance and your thoughts.

The amount of work you put into clearing your acne will determine how quickly you clear your face. By being consistent in following good health practices, you will be able to get rid of your acne.

If your acne is heredity, it is not true that you cannot do anything about it. If you know that other members of the family have had acne and previous generations also, then you are susceptible to acne. Knowing this, you can now arm yourself with some powerful nutritional and hygiene habits that will prevent acne from taking hold.

Traditional Medical Acne Treatments

I do not recommend using medications for acne, such as,

" Benzoyl peroxide - opens pores to kill bacteria

" Antibiotics - erythromycin, tetracycline - kill bacteria everywhere it goes in your body and skin.

" Retin A - helps to break open plugged pores, prevents new plugged pores, and helps to prevent scarring.

" Topical steroid, cortisone derivative, drug

These drugs and many others have serious side effects that you will want to avoid. If you are dark skinned and are using Benzoyl Peroxide, you can end up spotting your face as a side effect.

Most of these medications take three to ten weeks to provide results.

All my recommendations are for natural methods to relieve acne.

Different Remedies

In future articles, I will be outlining some of the remedies and steps you need to take to clear your acne. These remedies and natural foods that you use will not only help beatify your skin but will also help you to get rid of acne.

You may have to experiment to determine what works for you. By providing you with many choices, this gives you the best possible chance of you succeeding in gaining better health for your face. Also, not all remedies provide the same benefits to each person.

So this is where your experimental skills come in. You may have to test a few things, but in the process you will be learning about how to take care of your body. This information will stay with you a lifetime.

Depression After Pregnancy - Depresi Setelah Melahirkan

Though most people may be relatively familiar with what depression is, most people are unlikely unaware of how significant of a problem depression is. In the United States alone, statistics indicate one of every five people is depressed. When that percentage is expanded, the result is millions and millions of depressed people. In itself that's a cause for alarm, but what may be even more of a concern is that most depressed people in the US never get treatment. That equates to lots of pain, and lots of productivity lost.

During considerations of dealing with depression, it makes sense to consider whether certain segments of society are more prone to depression than others. It was long believed that women were most prone to depression, but in recent times this thinking has been reconsidered. The fact of the matter is, not only do men get depression but men are more likely to commit suicide because of depression than women are. Looking at depression as purely a gender issue then is not only inaccurate but may also lead to dire consequences in outreach efforts.

It's important then to be clear that men can and do get depressed, and that treatment for depressed men is available. It is true however that women are most likely to report feeling depressed, and that depression in women who've recently given birth may be especially significant. Depression in women after childbirth is common enough that it has its own terminology: depression following childbirth is typically known as postpartum depression, but can be referred to as perinatal depression as well.

Postpartum depression is not a particularly complicated condition: it's a case of depression in a woman who's recently given birth. The uncertainty with postpartum depression is why it occurs in the first place. Carrying a child over the course of nine months is a terrific responsibility, and that responsibility in itself can lead to stress and feelings of depression. A woman who feels a lack of support following childbirth can also understandably become depressed. It's believed as well that there may be a hormonal aspect to postpartum depression: hormonal balance in a woman rises greatly during pregnancy, and then drops back to normal within twenty-four hours of giving birth. What would be surprising is if this swing in hormone balance didn't have any effect on mood at all.

While it's certainly true that not every woman who gives birth becomes depressed afterward, it happens often enough that it's something to be aware of. The positive with respect to postpartum depression is that it usually clears without intervention; and in the event it doesn't clear without intervention, effective treatments are there to be had.

HIV And AIDS

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a set of symptoms and infections resulting from the damage to the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).[1] This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast

milk.[2][3] This transmission can involve anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

AIDS is now a pandemic.[4] In 2007, an estimated 33.2 million people lived with the disease worldwide, and it killed an estimated 2.1 million people, including 330,000 children.[5] Over three-quarters of these deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa,[5] retarding economic growth and destroying human capital.[6] Most researchers believe that HIV originated in sub-Saharan Africa during the twentieth century.[7] AIDS was first recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified by American and French scientists in the early 1980s.[8]
Although treatments for AIDS and HIV can slow the course of the disease, there is currently no vaccine or cure. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but these drugs are expensive and routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available in all countries.[9] Due to the difficulty in treating HIV infection, preventing infection is a key aim in controlling the AIDS epidemic, with health organizations promoting safe sex and needle-exchange programmes in attempts to slow the spread of the virus.
