Almonds – the miracle nut

Scientists in Boston found the following benefits:
1    Reduced levels of bad “LDL” cholesterol (similar to the effects of taking a statin if seventy five grams are eaten daily over a four month period)
2    Reduction in “oxidative stress” – a process which results in clogged arteries
3    Helps beat cancer and ageing due to their high antioxidant content.

Other benefits include:

1    High in fibre
2    High in Essential fatty acids
3    High in protein
4    Rich source of B vitamins and vitamin E
5    Contain minerals iron, calcium, copper, zinc, selenium, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium

If such a dose is to be eaten daily one needs to watch overall calorific intake as nuts are relatively high in calories.

Tai chi Benefits ADHD

During and after five weeks of Tai Chi lessons, adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) showed less anxiety, daydreaming, inappropriate emotions and hyperactivity, according to a study by the Touch (TRI).

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: benefits from Tai Chi was conducted by Maria Hernandez-Reif, Ph.D., Tiffany Feild., and Eric Thimas.

ADHD, often treated by drugs such as Ritalin, is characterized by inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. A 1998 TRI study showed that massage was effective in increasing focus, improving mood, reducing fidgeting and lowering hyperactivity in adolescents with ADHD.This study examined whether tai

chi, the Chinese martial art of slow moving, meditative exercise, would have similar effects.
Thirteen adolescents with an average age of fourteen and a half years and diagnosis of ADHD participated in the study. They were taught tai chi postures for thirty minutes, twice a week for five weeks.

Menopause & HRT alternatives

The menopause is a natural period of transition, and can herald a new phase in a women's life that shouldn't be seen as a beginning of decline but more a shift to greater freedom.

Like all periods of transition the menopause can throw up symptoms both emotionally and physically, and at a broad band of ages around fifty two the cessation of periods is the observable result of a number of complex hormone changes.

HRT is the popular answer to these problems. However various reports have cast doubt on the long term use of HRT and in the end it is just stalling the transition. There are many natural treatments that can deal with the more uncomfortable symptoms.

Herbal treatments will work towards helping the body to adapt to the new balance of hormonnes and also give relief to the symtoms why this is achieved. 

Liver Disease is fifth largest killer in U.K

A research study published last week reports that forty percent, of over a thousand people who had their liver function tested showed high levels of enzymes, known to be an indicator of increased liver failure leading to death.With liver failure, symptoms only appear once significant liver damage has occurred and cannot be reversed.

Liver disease is the fifth largest killer in the UK and still on the increase. It is responsible for seven thousand five hundred deaths per year but is also almost completely preventable.

 

Cognitive behaviour therapy

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is a therapy used for the treatment of Depression.  This Therapy has been in the news a lot recently as the government have ploughed a lot of money and media exposure into this particular type of therapy, in the hope that people who are depressed and on benefits, will get well, and return to work, and consequently the unemployment figures will go down.

However the cynics have criticized this and said its not all its cracked up to be, and the government have been fooled into thinking this is the next super therapy. I disagree with this, as I am a Counsellor myself, and have used CBT techniques, with my clients and diaries of events and behaviour, and found it to be very empowering, positive, and moved my clients into a better  place, which helped them 
to move forward and have much happier lives. 

Growing knife culture

The number of killings in which both victim and assailant were under 18 has jumped from 12 in 2005 to 37 last year, according to a new study.

The research paints a picture of a country where youth-on-youth violence is spiralling as the Government struggles to rein back the increasing number of children turning to gangs and falling into a life of drugs.
Though all behaviour is learnt, and it is how we educate our youth in life skills and how to survive in a violent society. Most young people who have answered the question why do you carry a weapon mostly say "for their own protection". There seems to be a knife culture growing within our society. through self protection training an individual has the chance to improve upon their knowledge and understanding of confrontational situations and in doing so will be far better placed to better control themselves in any potentially dangerous situation they experience thus increasing the possibilities of an non violent outcome in such situations. The increased levels of awareness and self confidence  can often lead to a corresponding reduction in violent and aggressive behaviour.  

An Examination of Obama’s Use of Hidden Hypnosis Techniques in His Speeches

THE EVIDENCE IS HERE:  This document contains over sixty pages of evidence and analysis proving Barack Obama’s use of a little-known and highly deceptive and manipulative form of “hack” hypnosis on millions of unaware Americans, and reveals what only a few psychologists and hypnosis/NLP experts know.

 Barack Obama’s speeches contain the hypnosis techniques of Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D. who developed a form of “conversational” hypnosis that could be hidden in seemingly normal speech and used on patients without their knowledge for therapy purposes.  Obama’s speeches intentionally contain: Obama’s techniques are the height of deception and psychological manipulation, remaining hidden because one must understand the science behind the language patterns in order to spot them. 

This document examines Obama’s speeches word by word, hand gesture by hand gesture, tone, pauses, body language, and proves his use of covert hypnosis intended only for licensed therapists on consenting patients.  Obama’s mesmerized, cult-like, grade-school-crush-like worship by millions is not because “Obama is the greatest leader of a generation” who simply hasn’t accomplished anything, who magically “inspires” by giving speeches.  Obama is committing perhaps the biggest fraud and deception in American history.  

Obama is not just using subliminal messages, but textbook covert hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming techniques on audiences that are intentionally designed to sideline rational judgment and implant subconscious commands to think he is wonderful and elect him President. 

Obama is eloquent.However, Obama’s subconscious techniques are shown to elicit powerful emotion from his audience and then transfer those emotions onto

him, to sideline rational judgment, and implant hypnotic commands that we are unaware of and can’t even consciously question.

Copper stopping infection

Clostridium difficile bacteria are present in our body as normal flora and without any harm. These bacteria become pathogen when the person uses antibiotics to treat any infection. These antibiotics kill the bacteria but provide opportunity to C.difficile to grow as pathogen. That is why antibiotics are not recommended to treat C. Difficile. This infectious disease is being spread around hospitals constantly, without nurses being assigned to isolation wards there is still a threat of repeat infection. There seems to be no cases of C.Diffiicile within the private sector so what is going wrong within our NHS hospitals. Before we spend more money on a scheme using copper plating to reduce the spreading of infection within wards, can’t we look at any other preventative methods?

Seasonal affective disorder

 One in twenty of us suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and it can really affect our everyday lives.  It leaves us feeling miserable, tired, lethargic, sleep can be affected  as can appeitit and sex drive, and it affects women more than men it seems.  It is fundamentally a lack of exposure to light, and therfore affects us more in the winter months.  If you have other worries like work, relationships, or financial worries this can make it more likely. It leaves you feeling very low and in some cases depressed.

How do we treat this condition?,  Counselling a talking therapy can help a lot, talking about the problems it brings, can be very therapeutic,  as can exercise and  a good balanced diet, and try to get out during daylight  hours to boost your mood.  A light box can help also.

Obama using NLP?

Neuro linguistic Programming is a very powerful technique, when used right it can influence opinion and change a persons perception through the use of key words. It has been noticed that Barak Obama has used such techniques in key speeches, within a five hundred word speech it suggested that Obama used sixty percent of specific language patterns, which is a strong way of making your audience absorb information.Similalry the use of NLP in therapy can also help individuals to change negative emotions and beliefs arising from past experiences. This is acheived through the use of techniques and patterns that are driven by the unconscious mind and therefore become a way of life.
