			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">Vitamin Bx. Measured in milligrams (mg.).</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Functions</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">A growth promoting factor. Stimulates metabolism and all vital life processes, possibly in conjunction with folic acid. Prevents skin changes due to aging. Prevents graying of the hair. Has been used, in combination with pantothenic acid, choline and folic acid, in treatment of gray hair, with some success. Essential for healthy skin. Soothes the pain of burns and sunburns. When added to a salve and applied to the skin, may protect against sunburn, and even prevent skin cancer. Helpful in a variety of skin disorders, including eczemas and lupus erythematosus.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Deficiency symptoms</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Deficiency may cause extreme fatigue, eczema, anemia, gray hair, reproductive disorders, infertility, vitiligo and loss of libido.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Natural sources</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Brewer&#8217;s yeast, whole grain products, milk, eggs, yogurt, wheat germ, molasses and liver. PABA is also synthesized by friendly bacteria in the healthy intestines.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">MDR (minimum daily requirement):</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Potencies of PABA higher than 30 milligrams per tablet are available only by prescription. Much higher potencies are used therapeutically, up to several hundred milligrams.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Note: According to some researchers, continuous ingestion of high doses of PABA is not recommended, as it can be toxic to the heart, kidneys and liver.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">Biotin</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Vitamin H. Measured in micrograms (mcg.).</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Functions</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Involved in metabolism of proteins and fats. Related to hair growth and healthy hair. Prevents hair loss. Antiseptic. It has been used in treatment of malaria.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Deficiency symptoms</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Deficiency may cause eczema, dandruff, hair loss, seborrhea, skin disorders, such as pallor, heart abnormalities, lung infections, anemia, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, confusion, mental depression, drowsiness and hallucinations.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Natural sources</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Best and richest natural source is brewer&#8217;s yeast. Also: unpolished rice, soybeans, liver, kidneys. Biotin is also normally produced in the intestines if there is sufficient amount of healthy intestinal flora.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">MDR (minimum daily requirement):</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">150 to 300 mcg.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Folic acid</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Vitamin B9. Pteroylglutamic acid. Folate. Measured in milligrams.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Functions</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">As a co-worker with vitamin Bi2, folic acid is essential for the formation of red blood cells. Necessary for the growth and division of all body cells and for the production of RNA and DNA, the nucleic acids that carry the hereditary patterns. Aids in protein metabolism and contributes to normal growth. Essential for healing processes. Helps build antibodies to prevent and heal infections. Essential for the health of skin and hair. Helps prevent premature graying of the hair. Its need is indicated in diarrhea, dropsy, stomach ulcers and menstrual problems. It has been used in treatment of atherosclerosis, circulation problems, anemia, radiation injuries and burns, and in treatment of sprue, a tropical nutritional deficiency disease, whose symptoms are anemia and acute diarrhea.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Deficiency symptoms</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Deficiency of folic acid may cause nutritional megaloblastic anemia of pregnancy, serious skin disorders, loss of hair, impaired circulation, a grayish-brown skin pigmentation, fatigue, mental depression, reproductive disorders, such as spontaneous abortions, difficult labor and high infant death rate. Also, loss of libido in males.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Natural sources</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Deep green leafy vegetables, broccoli, asparagus, lima beans, Irish potatoes, spinach, lettuce, brewer&#8217;s yeast, wheat germ, mushrooms, nuts, peanuts, liver.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">MDR (minimum daily requirement):</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">0.4 mg. To correct anemia and deficiencies, 5 mg. or more are needed daily. Potencies higher than 0.1 mg. (100 meg.) in one tablet are available only by prescription. Usual dose prescribed by doctors is 5 to 10 milligrams daily. It has been proven safe in large doses if taken together with B-complex (brewer&#8217;s yeast) and B12.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Note: Some authorities believe that folic acid is contraindicated in leukemia and cancer.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Chest pain is a relatively common complaint during childhood, especially in older children and adolescents. Mostly it is nothing to be concerned about, and is rarely due to any serious underlying disorder. If a child complains of pains in the chest it is  generally in association with a severe cough. This persistent coughing can strain the muscles of the chest wall. Another common cause of chest pain in young people is a &#8216;stitch&#8217; below the rib cage. This is a sharp pain which lasts several minutes and may come on after exercise. It is normal and does not signify heart disease. Heart disease is rare in children, and is associated with characteristic pains in thechest as well as other symptoms. If your child has fallen on his side or received a blow to the chest and complains of pains in the chest, he may have injured a rib.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Your immortality does not rest in some genetic relay race. What you give to this world will not be measured in amounts of DNA. Remove this &#8220;pass it on&#8221; motive from your problem and you will have less stress.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">There are no magic postures for fertility. No matter what you may have heard, there are no secrets about fertility. Mutually pleasing sexuality and intimacy are important, however, and constant focus on fertility can rob your marriage of sexual joy and closeness. Talk with your doctor about the timing issue and make sure he or she is aware that you would also like to have sex as well as have a baby, have fun as well as fertility, to maintain your loving.    <br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Imagery helps. It is not just pop psychology to suggest that the mind is a powerful instrument for change. Both of you must enjoy the imagery of a child, not the focus on a problem, on succeeding. Talk &#8220;as if,&#8221; think of &#8220;when,&#8221; not &#8220;what will we do if we fail.&#8221;<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://drugswatcher.com/product_info.php?cPath=56&amp;products_id=5419" title="Zofran is used for preventing nausea and vomiting"><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Speaking of failure, it is important to be realistic.</span></a><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt"> Sometimes, for reasons that are not always understood, couples do not have their own biological children. Planning for a future? together, for growth and joy and optional ways of parenting or giving back to the world, is important not as a surrender strategy, but as a viable if not the most desirable option.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Sometimes, in the focus on fertility, we forget the holistic approach to general health. While there are no magic vitamins or diets that automatically improve fertility, sound nutrition, exercise, prayer or meditation, balance between working and playing, and a large dose of laughter can help anything. Don&#8217;t forget these factors in your focus on fertility.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Sometimes, rarely, there are underlying marital or individual psychological problems that get in the way of, not prevent, pregnancy. For both the husband and the wife, unresolved marital and personal problems should be addressed in counseling. I&#8217;m not suggesting that personal psychological problems cause infertility. It&#8217;s just good common sense to look to your own and your partner&#8217;s own general life philosophy and happiness without blame but with support and interest in personal and relationship development.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt"> Some of the steps in Chapter Eight have been very popular with the fertility couples. You may want to open up your own sex clinic and have some fun. You deserve it. Fertility counseling tires you out, angers you, and lets you down. I close this chapter with a report from one of the wives in the fertility program that summarizes the health and sexuality relationship.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Men have two &#8220;areas&#8221; that are particularly responsive to sexual stimulation. Take time now to find these areas for yourself.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">  In the privacy of your bedroom, with the door locked, lie side by side naked as a couple. With the husband&#8217;s and the wife&#8217;s hand, find the little piece of skin that is on the underside of the penis running from the coronal ridge, the edge of the mushroomlike top of the penis, to the penile shaft. In uncircumcised men, it will be necessary to pull the foreskin out of the way gently to find this piece of skin. This is the frenulum, or F area, one of the most erotic of sexual areas for men. During intercourse, this area is typically deeply within the moist and warm vagina resulting in intense stimulation and eventual pelvic muscle contraction in men and little stimulation to women. The positioning of the F area for intense stimulation results in timing problems for many men, for they feel a loss of control when the F area is &#8216;stimulated while their partner receives much less stimulation. Her Ñ area (or clitoral area) is usually not stimulated to the same degree as the male&#8217;s F area, so her orgasmic contractions are relatively delayed if not nonexistent.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">  A new posture, a posture of the future, allows a positioning of the F and Ñ areas together. This posture allows for long and intense stimulation that promotes both the organ part of orgasm and psychasm as well. Described in Chapter Eight, this posture allows for a juxtaposing of the F and Ñ areas.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">  One technique I have taught my patients for discovering the F area is as follows. <a href="http://www.d-store.net/?product=trental" title="PENTOXIFYLLINE improves blood flow">The wife places her fingers just behind the scrotum, gently touching the fingertips to the perineal area or area behind the testicles.</a> With her fingers in this position, the length of the fingers and palm will be in contact with scrotum and the shaft of the penis. With some adjustment of the hand, the lower wrist at the base of the thumb should be in contact with the frenulum or F area. Some men are able to feel their wife&#8217;s pulse in this position. It takes practice to develop this level of sensitivity,^but all men can learn this. Unlearning is necessary, too, for most men think that movement is sex, and pelvic thrusting is almost automatic in response to genital contact. Men can learn to lie still and feel. This technique is particularly helpful in learning psychasm. The man can practice this technique himself unless religious beliefs preclude self-stimulation.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">  The R area relates to the raphe, the line along the scrotum that you can see and feel. The skin on the scrotum is unique on the male body, and it can be sensitive as the labia, or lips, around the vagina. The wife can gendy rub her fingertips back and forth along the center of the scrotum, along the raphe line, and the husband will feel a pleasurable sensation. Again, he must learn to be still instead of active, to receive instead of do. The scrotal skin will seem to wrinkle and shrink as the testicles rise. Another suggestion is for the wife to run the top of her middle fingernail gentiy along this line from behind the scrotum to the front and up the penis. This kind of stimulation will help the man to integrate the scrotum and penis in a total-unit response, replacing the &#8220;end of the penis&#8221; focus most men have developed.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">When your body is poisoned, overloaded with excess food and toxins, your mind at all levels (from the sub-conscious to the super-conscious) is forced to assist emergencies arising in yarious organs of your body. This is an extremely low level of activity of the mind (a fight for survival), perhaps the lowest possible.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">To understand better what I am talking about, I give you an example.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Consider that your house is on fire. Without any hesitation, you will direct all your undivided attention and efforts to this emergency. You will try to extinguish the fire, save as many items of value from the house, save yourself, your family and other people in danger. Your mind will be totally engaged in the emergency operation.<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.medrx-one.me/order_cheap_568_myambutol_rx_pills.php" title="Myambutol ( Ethambutol Hydrochloride )"><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">It is quite easy to imagine, that it will be impossible for you under such circumstances to direct your mind into a more subtle mode or to creative activity like writing a book, solving complex problem or programming your computer for example, when your house is on fire and you and your family are in danger.</span></a><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt"> Imagine your boss phoning you in the middle of the fire with some ideas for you to work on. You will simply cut all conversation and attend the emergency immediately.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Now let us go back to your body. If it is not pure enough, your mind is busy attending &#8220;fires&#8221; in various organs. You feel dull and become tired quickly. You have difficulties concentrating. If your body is in the &#8220;healing crisis&#8221; (simply speaking you feel sick), the least you feel like doing is thinking. You simply cannot think ! Any request for thinking hard is like a telephone from your boss during the fire : your higher mind cuts all communications.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Similar effects can be observed after large meals, when you overload your body with food. According to medical science food should give you energy. But instead, you feel tired and sometimes even sick. Your mind is slow and tired too. Any request for thinking hard, returns as feeling of being sleepy and ready to rest.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">In the other extreme, people aiming at the highest possible activity and development of the mind (to the point of complete enlightenment and unification with the entire universe) have to have very pure physical bodies. Masters of yoga in the Himalayas hardly eat anything at all.<br />

</span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">We just do not have those sort of testing facilities, but, even if we did, and even if large numbers were shown to harbor the organism, the risk appears to be small, and we have, as yet, no technology to eradicate the germ from this area.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Research has shown the organism may also be present in other collections of water, and it may well be that these are more important than air-conditioning units.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The question of consent may be waived in an emergency if the doctor, to save the life of his patient, carries out treatment.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Most of the problems arise with minors and are concerned with the doctor&#8217;s suggesting a form of treatment, such as blood transfusion, with which the parents cannot agree.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">In these circumstances, in most States, the law allows the doctor to move to have the child declared a ward of the State and then to seek permission to carry out the procedure.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">This may not be acceptable to those parents who have a moral objection to the treatment, but does seem to satisfy majority public opinion.<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.medrx-one.me/order_cheap_20101_nimotop_rx_pills.php" title="Nimotop ( Nimodipine )"><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The wishes of the parents cannot be automatically over-ruled; the doctor must obtain a second opinion and be able to show that his treatment is necessary to save life.<br />
</span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Some doctors are worried by the threat of later legal action should they accede to the wishes of their patient and withhold treatment which may be standard in the circumstances.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses have prepared a standard release form waiving their rights to sue for negligence when they have withheld permission for treatment, such as transfusion, which the doctor considers necessary-<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">This approach is an attempt by the group to make known their wishes and to co-operate with the medical profession without compromising what is to them a fundamental belief.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">A doctor may disagree with their beliefs, yet he must respect their right to hold and to practise them.<br />

<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Precautions<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Reye&#8217;s syndrome has been linked to the use of aspirin during influenza. Although a cause-and-effect relationship has not been established, aspirin should not be given if your child is suspected of having influenza. Watch for signs of complications and report them to your doctor.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     If there are no complications, the fever accompanying influenza often peaks in two cycles. <a href="http://www.medrx-one.me/order_cheap_20144_urso_rx_pills.php" title="Urso ( Ursodiol )">The child&#8217;s temperature is elevated for a day or two, normal for a day, then elevated for a day or two.</a> Do not misinterpret 24 hours of normal temperature as a &#8220;cure,&#8221; and do not allow your child to resume activities until the temperature is normal for two or more days.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Medical treatment<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">If there are no complications, the doctor will tell you to continue with the home treatment described above. If complications occur, cultures, blood tests, antibiotics, and hospitalization may be required. Vaccines to prevent influenza are not very helpful for children. The influenza viruses have a number of different strains that change their structures from year to year. Therefore, last year&#8217;s vaccine may be useless against this year&#8217;s virus. Moreover, reactions to influenza vaccines in children are frequent, although these reactions are rarely serious. At the moment, medical experts advise that only children at special risk from influenza should be immunized annually. The conditions that constitute &#8220;special risks&#8221; are: rheumatic heart disease, congenital and hypertensive heart disease, cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, tuberculosis, nephrosis, chronic nephritis, chronic diseases of the nervous system, and diabetes.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">It is a condition in which a person has a reduced blood flow to the brain, causing him or her to feel faint, weak and eventually even to lose consciousness. On falling to the floor the person becomes horizontal and the blood flow to the brain is restored. Sometimes people, who feel they are about to faint feel giddy, sweat a lot and have a fast heartbeat. When a person faints they look pale, breathe rapidly and have a feeble pulse. After a few minutes consciousness usually returns.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Causes of fainting<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     An emotional upset.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Sickening for an acute infection.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     An overheated, ill-ventilated room.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Prolonged standing, especially on an empty stomach.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Severe pain.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Pregnancy.<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.medrx-one.me/order_cheap_20144_urso_rx_pills.php" title="Urso ( Ursodiol )"><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Severe anaemia.<br />
</span></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Severe bleeding.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Adolescence (notably in girls).<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     A minor epileptic attack can be mistaken for a faint.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">Prevention<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">The prevention of most of the above is fairly obvious and needs no elaboration. However, if you feel faint or likely to faint here are a few simple preventive hints.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Always have breakfast if you know you are going to have to stand up for any length of time.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     Ensure that your environment does not become too hot and stuffy.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier New; font-size:10pt">•     As soon as you feel at all like fainting sit down, loosen your tie, belt or any other constricting clothing; get someone to open a window or to take you to an open window or outside the stuffy room. If you feel worse, lie down flat. Within a few minutes you should feel normal again. Look for the cause of the faint and take steps to prevent similar occurrences.<br />
