Viktor Schauberger, father of the Vortex Turbulator, probably would be amazed at the innovations of more than sixty years, and how the technology of his original, bulky VT, that made structured water in the 1940s, has been transformed into a more efficient, compact device. He knew that structured water resulted from the implosion action of the VT. It tears large water clusters apart, creating water with six oxygen atoms, each with two hydrogen bonds, reforming the molecules into an ideal, structured form. Today’s VT makes structured water as easily as Viktor’s original unit did.

Chronic renal failure (CRF) is the progressive loss of kidney function. The kidneys attempt to compensate for renal damage by hyperfiltration in turn that causes further loss of function. Chronic loss of function causes generalized wasting (shrinking in size) and progressive scarring within all parts of the kidneys. In time, overall scarring obscures the site of the initial damage. Yet, it is not until over 70% of the normal combined function of both kidneys is lost that most patients begin to experience symptoms of kidney failure.

MEMORY TESTS

Actually there has been more debate of the “what is this test and what objects should be used?” variety than anyone can possibly imagine. It is usually not too tough to engage someone in talking about something else for five minutes, to keep them from repeating it in their head.

Maybe if it’s “all in your head,” it’s in your brain chemistry We women have spent so long and worked so hard for equality in rights, in education, and at work, that it may actually be hard to talk about how we are different. The World Health Organization has been working on this, and knows a lot about what is going on. Illnesses of the mind, problems with thinking and feeling and living, are only identified by doctors less than half the time. Three out of five people who have this kind of problem wait less than a year before seeing a doctor. This is true of both sexes.

Pets Are Okay, But I Love Humans
Animal mummies from ancient Egypt are featured on banners flying from poles here in middle-to-upper class southern Califo ia and I realized something significant but not earth-shaking. I didn’t care. I was fascinated with Egyptology back in the 4th grade when I built a model pyramid out of cardboard and made little mummies out of clay. I knew back then that some people mummified pets, and that was fine, but I didn’t want to model little dogs or cats, just humans.

Psychiatrists Don’t Just Talk About Sex
I think this was said to me for the first, last, and only time at the first, last and only mixer for singles I went to in Wichita, Kansas. I don’t remember the man’s name or face, but I do remember how he responded to my answer to his inquiry about what I did for a living. “Psychiatrist? That sounds like a fun job. You probably get to talk about sex all the time.” My response was undistinguished. “No, not really.” But his response to my response was even worse. “Huh? What do you talk about, then? I mean they pay you for talking. It still doesn’t sound like a bad job….”

Rise in Measles From Lack Of Vaccination
Humans are … well, strange. A fixed problem can become unfixed. First, let’s take it on good authority this problem really has been fixed. It has been fixed with vaccination. Nobody wants problems. So why? Why is the number of measles cases suddenly rising? People seem to propelled by beliefs. They are the hardest thing in the world to change. Nobody will go for a spontaneous “makeover.” Few people understand the danger of anything well enough to make marketing prevention easy, but let’s start with this single outstanding example.

The Healing Power of Alpha State and Theta State
When it comes to healing, state of brain is as important as state of mind. Our brains are constantly vibrating, just like everything else in the universe. Generally the more awake and busy our brains are, the faster the brain waves. Scientists have divided up our brain waves into several categories. When we are fully alert and mentally engaged, they call it beta state. When we are relaxed, calm, but alert, they call it alpha state. When we are dreamy they call it theta state.

The Healing Presence of Pets
As a young boy, I would sit in anticipation for the prime time television show series Lassie. For those of you that aren't familiar with Lassie, he was a fictional Collie dog character that initially appeared in a novel, which was made into a feature film Lassie Come Home (starring Roddy McDowell and Elizabeth Taylor). Lassie's trusted owner was a little boy named Timmie. Lassie would always be there for him or anyone else in need of help.

To BMI or Pinch an Inch, That is the Question
Many of us struggle to lose weight. We work hard for a few months and then we put weight back on. Herein lies our problem: we eat as if we are going to lose weight for the interim and then go back to our old ways. Often we set ourselves up to fail by following unwise diets, like the grapefruit diet, the soup diet and other quick fixes. While most of us should lose a few pounds, radical diets and crazy eating practices just set many of us up for failure. It is no wonder we get desperate to lose quickly when we see super skinny women in fashion magazines.

We Can Fix This Vaccination Bit
If I haven’t convinced everyone yet, I don’t know how. I have written on this before. Vaccination keeps kids alive. Kids who could die dead as door nails from preventable diseases. Vaccination has very few side effects. All kids should get them (except for specific and quite rare medical counter indications endorsed by a physician). So now I am finding out a little more of the story. Previously, an alleged outbreak of measles was traced to non-vaccination. Now we know that non-vaccination can happen because–children are going to non-public schools.

When is an Oil Spill a Good Thing?
With all of the commotion over the environmental impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, it is a wonder we don't start using alte ative sources of oil. Perhaps these lessons bring us closer to using "greener" fuels. With discontentment comes change. We don't have to use oil that has a negative impact on our oceans and cause pollution. Shifting over to environmentally friendly sources of fuel causes quite a stir in the lucridive oil business and we wonder how many palms are "greased" to keep the greener fuel sources out of the common marketplace.

Your Family Really Can Kill You
Only 16% of all murder victims are members of the defendant’s family? That’s according to the PDF file that pops open (or opens in your browser) when you click this link – and you must have the free Adobe Acrobat reader to see it. (Fortunately, it is included with most computers nowadays). Actually, I am surprised to see the number is so small. I am a little bit heartened to learn that only 20% are strangers. This leaves 64 % that are friends and acquaintances.

Your Genes are Not to Blame, Even If They Don't Fit
Your Genes Are Not to Blame, Even if They Don't Fitr By Heather Caruso Many of us have family health issues that are cause for concern. We tend to blame our genetic programming for weight gain, cholesterol levels, depression and many other health conce s. Very few conditions are hard wired into our genes. In most instances, our genes have gotten a bad rap. Many people are unaware that if you do have a genetic predisposition to something you can change the way your genes are expressed. You can turn on or off their expression through the choices you make.

Your life, Your Work – What’s The Difference?
I love being a ”shrink-lady.” (okay, a “psychiatrist.”) I did not pick it out of a hat. I tried a couple of other medical specialties. The “doctor” part — well, there was never any doubt about that part, really. I mean the idea of taking care of other folks came into my head pretty early on, as did the idea that I was smarter than most other kids, ahead of where I was “supposed” to be. My family had some health problems as I persevered in schooling. It became evident that doctors had not only status but power over other people’s lives.

(Poor) Substitutes For Birth Control
Okay, so you don’t care. You tell me you don’t have sex too much and that is kind of like birth control. It isn’t. It might be if it took having sex five times to have a kid, but it only takes one, so you are very likely to get pregnant. Once you get pregnant, the child is your responsibility for life. This should be taken seriously — it isn’t always a bundle of joy and not all “moms” are equipped to handle the stress. If you try to murder the kid you are in worse trouble — yes I have seen girls who have tried that one. Sometimes the baby-daddy will marry you.

Anti-Obesity Discrimination and Obesity Treatment
I am an expert on this — Anti-overweight discrimination. First, from my practice. I remember a woman in her forties I saw in Oklahoma for a routine antidepressant renewal who told me that she had a cardiac condition and had been to her primary physician (this is back in the prehistoric days when I took insurance) and he had told me it was her own fault she was overweight and she was risking her life by doing nothing about it. She was not suicidal. She told me she would never see that doctor again. And she was not going to take any heart medicine.

Bouncing Back From Adversity
I do surf the web — I do not do so aimlessly. I was impressed by an article published by AARP on things people should not do after 50. Despite the fact that I absolutely abhor anyone telling me “laws” about what to do or not to do, I checked it out. I decided most of them were so stupid they should never be done by anybody. For instance, a Frenchman told me many years ago that nobody should ever drink champagne out of a woman’s slipper, mainly because it tastes rotten.

Breast Cancer: How To Reduce Your Risk
This past month, in the United States the spotlight has been on "buying pink" to fund breast cancer research. Even with all this funding, breast cancer in women in the United States has quadrupled in the last 40 years, causing physical and emotional pain for women and their families. Donna Eden, a medical intuitive, explains how she can "see" the energetic influence of a bra on our bodies. Especially an underwire bra stops the natural flow of energy and fluids through the lymphatic systems in our breasts. Scientific evidence supports the connection between bras and breast disease.

Cancer - Gift of Death or Life?
Fifteen years ago, I developed a genetic form of cancer that claimed the lives of my grandmothers, mother, and eldest sister. I attribute my survival thus far to correcting a deep and mistaken perception about “disease.” Accordingly, today, I view disease, in all of its many manifestations, as a “gift”…a gift of bringing into awareness a deviation from the intrinsic perfection that is ever present.

Chinese Medicine and Seasonal Affective Disorder
The phenomenon of winter is the need to conserve and replenish. This can be seen in nature: most animals hibe ate or remain near their nests, only venturing forth to replenish their food supply. Winter is a time to gather in, to remain still and quiet. Trees have pulled their resources in and hold them deep within their trunks and roots. Human beings should gather their energy in as well. To remain healthy in the winter, both physically and emotionally, it is important to conserve energy, to rest when tired and sleep later if possible.

Color in the Five Element Acupuncture Model
There are five elements in the classical system of acupuncture. Each element has a primary color associated with it. The five elements are Metal (white), Water (blue/black), Wood (green), Fire (red), and Earth (yellow). The colors have an energetic property to them beyond just the wavelength of light. Each color is associated with the energetic movement of its corresponding element and speaks of the balance or imbalance of that energy. In harmony all five colors are present to the same degree.

Gender Bias in University Admissions

More Fake Diet Methods On The Market
I thought that everyone knew by now that if something is a supplement that is supposed to help you lose weight by gulping down a pill, it is going to turn out to be a lie. One of the first things they teach you in debating is that your weakest argument is an appeal to authority. Everyone who follows Dr. Oz has noticed that his recommendations seem to “flip-flop.” Perhaps individual supplements come to him with some inducement to publicize them? Whatever. This stuff does not work terribly well. Garcinia cambogia is also tamarind, often used in different cultures to aid with weight loss.

We are in an era when all reporting — wire services, networks, whatever — looks the way tabloid reporting did when I was small.

Once in a while in this constellation of stories there is something “inspiring.” We all need inspiration. It is tough to define and highly individualistic. I actually like this definition more than others: That “feeling of enthusiasm” that makes you “do” or “create” something.

However, if the low back is out of adjustment or has weakened supporting muscles, something as simple as taking a bag of groceries can cause a low back injury. Eighty percent of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives.

This is pretty amazing, since I worked for one year in a major Midweste university headache clinic. The major questions are what causes migraine headaches, and whether this device indeed nips them in the bud.

That Pain in the Neck
Most people do not realize how much they move their neck during the day until they are unable to do so. The degree of flexibility of the neck, coupled with the fact that it has the least amount of muscular stabilization and it has to support and move your 14 - 16 pound head, means that the neck is very susceptible to injury. You can picture your neck and head much like a bowling ball being held on top of a stick by small, thin, elastic bands.

A lot of people are whores; it is just a question of naming the price. Even in psychiatry.

Let me tell you, it is hard if you do it right. Most drugs now used in psychiatry have not even been around long enough for long term side effects to be known.

Antibiotics in Livestock Feed Endanger The Entire World
As it turns out, this whole bit about the use of antibiotics in livestock and poultry is a complex issue. It’s well beyond anything that anyone would guess at first blush. The best online summary is the position paper put out by Food Marketing Institute. Curiously enough, it doesn’t have a year on it. Based on the references, I’d guess it was probably around 2005.

Headache or Tumor
I don’t think I know anyone who can say they’ve never had a headache. And some have them often enough that they’re given about as much attention as a hiccup or a sneeze. But sometimes, a headache can be more than a headache. I was in Minneapolis doing a rotation in neurology through a university headache clinic. A lot of people were referred through primary care physicians and some even from other neurologists. They were strange headaches to them, but headaches that were frequently seen by these university neurologists in Minneapolis.

Hospital Accountability Is An Ideal (Not Always Reality)
I have spent as little time as possible on the staff of hospitals. The interface between doctors and administrators has always seemed to be dominated by petty politics. People are interested in money, and secondary to that, some vague sort of reputation or power. A large and prestigious Midweste hospital used to have a certain kind of meeting every few months. This hospital had only the vaguest of University associations — just enough to make it look academic and research oriented. I knew perfectly well it was neither.

Fascinating New Research on Meditation and Brain Health
The Power of “Cortical Folding” aka “Gyrification” In terms of brain health, what exactly is “cortical folding” or “gyrification” and how does it increase your mental capacity?

Researchers have been studying the effects of meditation on the brain for decades, and have come to some important conclusions that may offer further motivation and inspiration for regular—and certainly for aspiring—practitioners of this time-honored healing art.

Here I seek to help understand and maybe ameliorate some suffering of both. *There are some 'triggers' here.

I Lost Over Half My Body Mass WITHOUT Diet, Exercise, Drugs Or Surgery And I Am Going To Tell You How!
I was heavy all of my life – no, to be honest, I was FAT. My weight caused me severe health problems, including more than one “near-death” experience in comas. And as you can guess, my romantic life was non-existant. I couldn’t weigh myself accurately, because normal scales only go to 300 lbs. From my clothing size I can estimate that I was over 350 lbs. Yet now, well past age 55, I have gone from dress size 24 to size 12. I felt dynamic when my weight went below 200 lbs. and now it is in the range of 160 lbs (I am 5-ft-7-in tall).

Want To Waste Time? Argue Science VS Religion
I have no use for “science vs. religion” debates. They are artificially created to get people angry at each other, when there is absolutely no reason. Whatever divine entity you believe in — whatever “universal intelligence” — is not a stupid being. Any Deity would simply reveal to people what they can understand. Such a Deity has given humans a marvelous mind that can question and search for the truth. Much has been learned — and many miracles are possible — because of the hard work of people who advance science and technology.

NEPHROTIC SYNDROM : HOMEOPATHY TREATMENT AND HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY
Nephrotic syndrome is a set of signs or symptoms that may point to kidney problems. Your kidneys clean your blood by filtering out excess water and salt and waste products from food. Healthy kidneys keep protein in the blood, which helps the blood soak up water from tissues. But kidneys with damaged filters may leak protein into the urine. As a result, not enough protein is left in the blood to soak up the water. The water then moves from the blood into body tissues and causes swelling.

***Autoimmune Support – Natural Approaches
When I say “autoimmune support” obviously I am not supporting the illness, but am focused on supporting the rebalance and healing of the immune system. Often the way that traditional medical physicians treat an autoimmune condition is to suppress the over-active and damaging immune system that is turning against itself and harming the host. In one way this slows down the damaging process, yet leaves the patient vulnerable to other outside influences that may attack a shut-down immune system.

Autoimmune Disorders and Early Abuse Issues
It makes perfect sense for me as an Energy Psychologist, that when approaching an autoimmune case in a natural, wholistic way, where an individual’s body is starting to work against itself, that I discover somewhere in that person a deep feeling of deserving to be hurt - an unworthiness to be healthy. If this sounds far fetched, then consider that this is the case for many of the clients with whom I work for autoimmune support. I’d like to share more about the possible causes of these feelings of unworthiness, low self-esteem, self-depreciation.

***The Human Body is Designed for Balance
The human body is an amazing vehicle which is in constant flux with change, regeneration, cleansing, and re-balance. It is not programmed to be sick, so whenever we feed it toxins or stress it out, then it automatically goes into re-balance mode and recalibrates so that all of its functions can continue to operate. In cases of extreme stress, bad food, polluted air, other stressors, the body may become so exhausted from constantly trying to stay in balance, that it starts to break down and systems shut down or function in a less-than-desirable way.

The Many Benefits of EFT for Coaches
