What Happens When Mom Crashes?
2008-02-12 23:48:00
I don't know what it is like in your house. My house would fall apart if I crashed, emotionally or physically. Mom can't get sick. Mom can't have problems. She is infallible. We can dump all our problems on mom and she can handle it. Mom can handle anything.Until I can't.I have been hospitalized before, never drug and alcohol recovery, but that might have been because they were not popular when I ended up in the hospital. The plain fact is, I couldn't handle everything. I grew up in a house where were were all taught to be independent, to stand on our own feet. I don't ever remember my mom doing 'mom' things like making my school lunch, or even hugging me. But, I do remember her rewarding my achievements.Then I ended up with a husband whose mother was the typical 'mother hen' and could (on the surface) take care of everything. But - if you ask me, I think she needs a trip to and alcohol rehab for women center. Unfortunately, she can't go with a clear conscience, because ...

Review: Valentines Day
2008-02-11 08:03:00
Valentines day was first created for lovers. Now it is a day when we generally express our love to family and friends. Of course, the big merchants still want you to believe that your lover will only be happy with diamonds or expensive flowers, but that is not true. Mind you, something from Old Navy is always a bonus. One site that offers help is Coupon Chief which offers online coupons to help people find ideas and save money. Frankly, I always hit the Dell page at any of the 'web malls.' I shop for me here. The next site I hit is BestBuys, where I shop for everyone else. In fact, I was shopping for built in stove tops last night with my husband - online. We found the stove we want for $400 less than the local store's price....Life Just Keep Getting Better And Better

Cosmetic Surgery Options
2008-02-11 08:00:00
The stigma of cosmetic surgery has disipated over the last decade. At one time people laughed at actresses who tried to look younger, or improve their body. Now, no one thinks twice about it, whether it is a tummy tuck for a woman who has lost her weight to childbearing, or a teen who wants a nose job.The fact is, a lot of Cosmetic Surgery proceedures cost less than a vacation and last a life time. They also do more to boost the moral. But - you must be careful. Only work with reputable cosmetic surgeons - who are certified by your country. Do not believe any hype, and get references. We were all touched at the grammies when the singer fell to his knees, singing to his mother who died one day after a surgical proceedure. It later came out that this doctor was not 'up to par.' It is usually easy to tell from a website which cosmetic surgeons to 'cut from the A list.' The site listed in this article offers lots of information, outlines their proceedure (more importantly, it does...

Yet, so far, no one can tell you whether you have it or not?Sound familiar?Well welcome to the world of fibromyalgia diagnostics.

The Way We Were
2008-02-06 07:56:00
A lot of the beautiful things from the past are gone. I sometimes think we've lost some of our greatest art and heirlooms as technology advances. No one stops to take a look at the cost of progress, but it is harsh. Of course, there are advances, in medicine and in comfort, but I don't think we should ever loose the things we value from our past. My grandmother's home was filled with such items. China figurines, Irish Linen, and a grandfather clock. I remember the clock most of all. It dominated the corner of the dining room. Every fifteen minutes it chimed once. Every hour it marked the hour. I've used mantle clocks in the home decore of my houses as I grew up, but they were never the same. They were alwasy just a reflection of the grandfather clock, just a reminder. There is something that feeds the soul about bringing a bit of the past into your home. It reminds you that life is for 'living' - it keeps the priorities straight. In a way, there is a zen quality to it that ca...

Breast Cancer - Myths
2008-02-06 07:54:00
An individual will probably get breast cancer if her mother or grandmother had it.If an individual's mother or grandmother has had breast cancer does not necessarily mean that they will end up with it even though they are in a higher risk group. Most women who end up getting breast cancer do not have a family history of it. It is recommended that you have a mammogram done if your mother, sister, grandmother or daughter had or has breast cancer.Myth: Breast cancer is caused by the birth control pill.This is not true. Contraceptive pills have small quantities of the hormones progesterone and estrogen which is often linked with increased risk of breast cancer. Despite the presence of these two hormones and the prolonged use for a period of 10 years and more it does not cause breast cancer. Birth control pills have some benefits too. They are, they decrease the risk of endometrial and ovarian cancer, they relieve pelvic inflammatory disease, menstrual disorders and they improve the bon...

Should You Fill Prescriptions Online?
2008-02-06 07:53:00
The main question facing today's population is 'should you trust online pharmacies' to deliver the same drugs as the corner store does? The answer is, 'yes', with some exceptions.The first thing consumers need to do is ensure the company is located in the USA, has a fixed address, phone number, and is a registered company. If so, then the company is accountable by the same government rules and regulations that the corner store pharmacy is. However, there are some differences. As with all Internet stores, an online pharmacy can sell for a lower price. It is not unheard of to find a wide variance in the price of drugs from one State to the Next. The online stores offer low prices on brand names, and the same 'generic' brands.These companies do not manufacture their own product. They buy from the same drug companies that are used by the corner store. Take a look at the online drug stores. Edrugstore offers information that I've found useful, and I'd rather buy my Cialis f...

The Genetics Of Breast Cancer
2008-02-06 07:51:00
Every woman runs the risk of getting breast cancer and as she gets older, the chances are greater. The chances of a woman getting breast cancer is 14 percent or one in every eight women, when you consider a lifetime of a woman, assuming she lives up to the age of about 90 years. If you consider that in your lifetime of 90 years, the chances are 14 percent that you will get the disease. The good news is that 86 percent you will not get the disease.How does genetics affect your chances of getting breast cancer?Most of the inherited cases of breast cancer have been linked with the two genes Breast Cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and Breast Cancer gene 2 (BRCA2). These two genes play a role in keeping the breast cells growing normally and preventing any cancerous cell growth. However, abnormal BRCA 1 and BRCA2 gene increase an individual's risk from breast cancer. These genes usually account for almost up to 10 percent of all breast cancers.Whilst a majority of women who get breast cancer have n...

Go Bra-Less and be Free from Breast Cancer
2008-02-06 07:49:00
increasing rate of breast cancer has changed so many things about how an average lady should dress, eat or live. It is estimated that every two minutes someone is diagnosed with breast cancer and every thirteen minutes some dies as a result of breast cancer. This is an alarming record. It has also been shown that breast cancer tends to be higher in cultures where bras are worn frequently compared to where bras are absent.In a report titled 'Dress to Kill, the link between breast cancer and bras', the authors examined the habits of 4700 American women, nearly half of them had breast cancer before compiling the report. It was discovered that wearing a bra for 12 hours daily increased the risk for breast cancer, cystic breasts, breast pain, breast tenderness and other breast related conditions. Ladies who had bras on for 18-24 hours daily have over a 100% increased incidence of breast cancer compared to those who don't wear bras at all. It is quite funny, but what this suggests is t...

Exercise and Women's Breast Health
2008-02-06 07:47:00
women are very concerned about breast health, and particularly about avoiding breast cancer. It's certainly an important issue to address because, "Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in Hispanic women.It is the second most common cause of cancer death in white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women. In 2003 (the most recent year numbers are available), 181,646 women and 1,826 men were diagnosed with breast cancer 41,619 women and 379 men died from breast cancer" 1 The good news for women is that there are things they can do to reduce their chances of contracting this disease. We know that regular exercise is extremely important for many reasons concerning our overall health: weight loss, cardiovascular strengthening, balancing blood sugars, and much more, but did you know that exercise might also help you avoid breast cancer?My clinical ...

February 14 Valentines Day Gifts

It is wonderful that there is one day of the year dedicated to reminding ourselves how much we love our partners. The road may be filled with 'ups and downs' but there is always more 'good' than 'bad' when sharing the journey with a kindred spirit. My husband and I share valentines day gifts, not as a pledge, or a requirement of the day, but as a reminder of the fun we've had together. I love flowers, today it is easier to buy top quality flowers online. Flowers became important in the Victorian times, when couples used flowers to send messages to someone they loved. I am glad that this tradition has not been destroyed over time. There is nothing more beautiful than a secret message hidden in a bouquet of flowers.Life Just Keep Getting Better And Better

Importance of a Good Vacuum
2008-02-06 07:43:00
One of the most overlooked aspects of cleaning is the vacuum. Most homeowners never replace their vacuum as long as the motor makes a sound. Even if it is picking up the surface dirt, an old vacuum may do nothing more than aerate the carpet so the mold and spores can grow faster. A carpet can trap toxins, chemicals, and pollutants, releasing them slowly into the air - causing breathing problems, head aches, and sinus infections. The biggest mistake homeowners make is when they replace their old vacuums. Instead of buying good vacuum cleaners that will do the job right, they head to a box store and buy the first 'push model' they find.Vacuum s, like cars, are not all made the same. Most of the models on the market are designed to lift dirt, but not give the carpet a thorough clean. In fact, their first objective may be to protect the carpet so it lasts longer than actually give it a thorough clean.Take time to research vacuums before buying your next - it could have a major impact...

Research For The Detection And Treatment Of Cancer
2008-02-06 07:40:00
With ever increasing life insurance premiums, it is a priority to keep health to an optimum for financial, as well as health, reasons. Early detection of illness and disease brings a better prognosis, if you or your local health authority can afford it. Pay outs of life insurance for long term illness are possible and could contribute towards the cost of health care.Much has been made in the papers recently of the cost of drugs to prolong the life of breast cancer patients, resulting in a post code lottery as to whether or not your local health care authority can afford it.One sufferer has taken her local authority to court to try to win the right to buy Avastin privately while still receiving the bulk of her care through the NHS. Unfortunately, the case has dragged on so long that doctors fear, even if she wins, it will be too late for her. In this case, a life insurance policy could have paid for the drug needed but probably ended up lining solicitor's pockets in the legal battle...

Fighting Cancer with Radiotherapy
2008-02-06 07:38:00
Cancer research programs are growing each year as funding increases. New technologies make even recent discoveries obsolete and doctors and scientists contribute their ideas and methods to understanding and curing cancer. As they continue to make these important strides toward finding prevention methods and moving towards a cure, more treatments are becoming available, and fewer people are being forced to endure painful and invasive treatments.Radiotherapy usually requires non-invasive cancer surgery that allows doctors to direct radiation beams into precise locations of the brain in order to focus it directly over a malignant tumor. This method can help treat and remove intracranial tumors that would otherwise not be very accessible for open surgery techniques.Electing radiotherapy as an option over more invasive routines is a matter of choice and convenience for some patients, but is more likely to be a necessity for patients with certain types of brain tumors that are not easily ...

It is surprising to note that in the modern times the youth all over the world spend an exorbitant amount on food or to be more precise on "eating out". If and when something special happens in the life of a person, he or she shares his or her happiness with others by giving them a treat which usually means that the said person will arrange for edibles for his or her friends and well wishers.The inclination of people towards food can be seen by the number of restaurants and eateries that are opening up even in the small towns and cities leave alone the cosmopolitan areas or the metros.

Ayurvedic and Dietary Treatments for High Blood Pressure
2008-02-06 07:31:00
High blood pressure or hypertension is the condition when the blood flow in the arteries and veins is forced under a higher pressure than normal. This can happen due to the weakness of the heart or due to the buildup of cholesterol in the coronary arteries, which can reduce their lumen. Today, most people in the world are suffering from hypertension, though it is not always fatal. Proper medication and a positive lifestyle can make people with higher blood pressures lead a long and happy life. However, neglect can cause severe fatal problems like myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). High blood pressure is known as Rakta Gata vata in Ayurveda. It can be caused due to vitiation of any of the three doshas, though the contribution of the vata dosha may be more, as it is responsible for the circulation of blood. The following are the main precipitating factors for people with different doshas:-1. Vata type of Hypertension ? This is caused by extreme emotions such as worry, anxiety and...

Do You Need a Lawyer?

One of the hardest things about being older is running into legal problems. Face it, our cases do not attract New York lawyers anymore, and we are not taken seriously by local lawyers. The entire legal field has changed. The days of the local lawyer who knew their clients name vanished sometime in the distant past. Today's lawyers specialize. Accident lawyers do not handle divorce cases. Family lawyers do not handle criminal cases. They even specialize in certain fields. The Law Firm of Jonathan D. Light is a boston car accident lawyer. The saddest thing is that many people do not understand their rights. Many older people do not receive compensation for 'accidents' and 'acts of God' because they believe they are not entitled to compensation - or just don't think about it. How many people have slipped on an icy sidewalk and not realized that it is the home owner, or business owner's responsibility to clean their walks. That means that they are liable for anyone who slips.Ano...

The Truth about ?Cleansing? Diets and Liver Health
2008-02-06 07:29:00
Every day, our bodies are exposed to toxic chemicals. Not only are their pollutants in the air around us, there are also toxins in the food we eat and many produced by our own bodies. Many of these toxins are flushed out, but some stick around in the colon, liver, and fat stores of our system. A fast, detox, cleansing diet is designed to remove these toxins.The requirements of a detox diet can vary. They can last from a week to 10 days. Some require you to stop eating and only drink water. Others allow you calories, but only from certain fruit or vegetable juices, or other liquids that encourage the flushing of toxins. More moderate diets allow you to eat a vegetarian diet and juice, while some of the more drastic diets encourage laxatives and enemas for colon and liver cleansing.So why would someone want to put themselves through this on an annual or semiannual basis? As I?ve already said, these procedures are believed to remove excess toxins the body can?t get rid of itself. Remov...

The Shocking Truth about Aspirin ? It Doesn?t Work!
2008-02-06 07:26:00
Aspirin has been around for over half a century. It's primary and "original" use was for pain relief. But when Tylenol and NSAIDs (such as Advil) took over the pain relief field, the aspirin industry "bigwigs" pulled out the "big guns" and went after: heart disease. What the heck, they figured. After all, a billion-dollar medicine has to go somewhere. And like most businesses, you have to keep growing and finding new "revenue streams" to increase revenue and profits. T he "big killer" of heart disease seemed like a natural avenue to go down. So aspirin decided to acquire "new indications" as a blood-clot fighter and is already widely used to treat and prevent strokes and heart attacks. It Didn't Work For ApplesJust about every male I know over the age of 60 (including younger men) and many women (BOTH my parents in fact) are taking "an aspirin a day to keep the doctor away." Well, it didn't work for apples and I don't think it works for aspirin either. Bu...
