Some Essential Oil Alternative To The OTC Medicines


By Eric Wood


The natural essential oils before have been used already by a lot of people for the purpose of healing and treating the mental and physical ailments a person has. The compounds are natural substances, and thus, are not toxic to the body. Also, these are eliminated easily from the body. The over the counter drugs or the prescriptions contain some synthetic substances which makes it hard to eliminate and to metabolize by the body.

And because the body organs are incapable to break down these compounds, it is very possible that these might end up on waste areas such as the fatty tissues and brain. It happens because the synthetic toxins will be passing into the spleen, kidneys, and liver. One very critical problem in this case is the attachment of these toxins into the tissues, thus, causing the disruption of bodies normal functioning. So here are the following common ailments that are treated easily by some essential oil alternative than using OTC drugs.

First, treatment for congestion, colds, allergies, coughs, and sinusitis. Essential oils such as peppermint and eucalyptus have antiviral, decongestant, and expectorant properties. Bay, angelica, myrrh, thyme, spruce, and camphor also help relieve the sinus congestion when being inhaled. A laurel leaf essential oil helps the strengthening of a body resistance to viruses. This helps building up immune systems and boosting respiratory systems.

Relationship OCD Fear of Choosing the Wrong Person or Gender


a guide to uncertain relationships
My 21st anniversary of being with my husband is coming up. I remember our 3rd anniversary, as we sat on the floor of my dorm room, and I struggled to tell him my fears. I had just gone to a presentation by a "feminists against pornography" group, with a slide show of violent images found in magazines, and the images were stuck in my head. I felt a claustrophobic dread that I would always be trapped by these images, a barrier between me and living my life with any peace or joy.

I had been reading a book on women's friendships, and combined with the scary things I had just seen, my OCD went into overdrive trying to figure out if it was safe to be in a relationship with a man, whether I was making a mistake, showing extremely poor judgement. As my anniversary approached, the obsessing intensified, and permeated all my thoughts and feelings. Was I putting myself in danger? Was I stupid? Was I wrong? Would this man betray me or hurt me?

It's hard enough to have these questions as a 20 year old, in any context, but in the context of OCD, I felt crazy. My first date with this man was to hear a feminist folksinger. I had never met anyone who listened to me like this man did, and took my thoughts seriously. He was compassionate. But my OCD wanted absolute certainty that he wouldn't become a monster. My best guess would've been that no, this was unlikely, but the OCD whittled away at this knowledge, kept demanding I figure things out.
Maybe you should be with a woman? That would be safer. If you stay with this man, you are betraying your gender. Are you sure you feel something for him? Keep checking on this. Any sensations? You are so tense when he touches you, obviously this is a sign that you need to be with a woman. So many horrible things have been done to women by men. You'll become part of that. You will be in collusion and contaminated. What if you stay with him, but you are actually a lesbian and you will lose any chance of happiness?
So, there I sat on the floor, on my anniversary barely able to speak, crying, and my love thought I was breaking up with him. This was the essence of OCD--I didn't want to break up with him. I just wanted the anxiety and intrusive thoughts and endless exhausting dialogues in my head to go away, and to know for sure I wasn't making a mistake.

There's a lot this 20 year old didn't know. She didn't know she had OCD. She knew she was anxious, but assumed that was a sign of her own defectiveness. She didn't know that OCD attacks what we hold dearest, what cuts right to the core of our identity and self. She didn't know that if you constantly check to see if you are feeling anything, you will mostly feel anxiety and fear. She didn't know that some things are incomprehensible, like the violent acts done to some women by some men.

I'm glad that somehow I made the decision to stay with the man who is now my husband. That took a lot of courage, since it meant trusting my own judgment and living with the whole host of anxiety-provoking questions, with no support for dealing with my OCD.

A Potential New Approach to the Treatment of Retinitis Pigmentosa


In a recently published study (1), researchers at the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) have come up with a novel approach in developing an individualized treatment for RP patients, using the patients' own cells transformed into an in vitro model for studying the disease and developing a potential treatment.

While RP can begin during infancy, the first symptoms typically emerge in early adulthood, starting with night blindness. As the disease progresses, affected individuals lose peripheral vision. In later stages, RP destroys photoreceptors in the macula, which is responsible for fine central vision. RP is estimated to affect at least 75,000 people in the United States and 1.5 million worldwide.

Mark Hillen, editor of The Ophthalmologist has written about this new approach, and I have reproduced the writeup, with his permission.


The Retina, Renewed. Thanks to Your Own Skin Cells

Might you soon take a skin cell from a patient with retinitis pigmentosa, roll it back to a pluripotent state, culture it to become retinal cells and trial gene therapy on it in vitro?

By Mark Hillen
The Ophthalmologist, July/August 2014

Personalized medicine is a particularly hot topic in medicine. Take cells from a patient, modify or grow them, and return them to the patient for their therapeutic effects. What a team of Manhattan-based researchers are doing at the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) is something rather special. They take skin epithelial cells from patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), turn them into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, then differentiate them into retinal cells in cell culture, enabling them to examine what the structural and functional defects of these retinal cells really are - without having to perform a dangerous (and ethically dubious) excision of a section of a patient's retina to do so (1).

More than 60 different genes have been linked to RP, making it a challenge to go to a mouse model to study the disease. Making a genetically-modified mouse is time consuming enough, but there's the additional confounding factor that the retinae of mice and men have enough interspecies differences to induce a great depression in researchers. This is why the ability to study the patient's own retinal cells in culture is so valuable.

Using this approach, the CUMC researchers examined cells from a patient with RP that resulted from a mutation in the MFRP (membrane frizzled-related protein) gene. Analysis of these cells showed that the primary effect of MFRP mutation is to disrupt the regulation of the major cytoskeletal protein, actin (Figure 1). "Normally, the cytoskeleton looks like a series of connected hexagons," said lead researcher, Stephen Tsang. "If a cell loses this structure, it loses its ability to function."

In the next phase of the study, the CUMC team used adeno-associated viruses to introduce normal copies of MFRP into the iPS-derived retinal cells (in cell culture), successfully restoring the cells' function. The team went on to successfully use gene therapy to rescue the "normal" phenotype in mice with MFRP mutation-induced RP.

Does this herald a future of personalized medicine, where patients can have their retinae reproduced from skin cells, their disease state assessed, and potential gene therapy options trialled, all in vitro, in order to choose the most effective gene therapeutic option? Tsang believes so, concluding that, "The use of patient-specific cell lines for testing the efficacy of gene therapy to precisely correct a patient's genetic deficiency provides yet another tool for advancing the field of personalized medicine. iPS cells can help us determine whether these genes do, in fact, cause RP, understand their function, and, ultimately, develop personalized treatments."




Figure 1. a. Normal (wild-type) retinal cells: the protein actin forms the cell's cytoskeleton, creating an internal support structure that looks like a series of connected hexagons; b. This structure fails to form in cells with MFRP mutations, compromising cellular function; c. Diseased retinal cells, when treated with gene therapy to insert normal copies of MFRP, have normal-looking cytoskeletal structures and function.

Top Tips For Finding The Right Chiropractic Clinics In Culver City


By Steve Williams


Finding a reliable chiropractic clinic can be a daunting task. In order for you to have a good chance of receiving meaningful assistance, you would need to do more than simply base your choice on the most attractive advertisements. Take time to acquaint yourself with various practices and the techniques they use. You may also want to know something about the records of accomplishment of chiropractors who interest you. A few common sense practices could assist you greatly in finding the best Chiropractic Clinic Culver City.

Chiropractic care can be used to eliminate a variety of health problems. It could also be used as a wellness program that is meant to enhance health and the general quality of life. Because the majorities of patients seek assistance due to pain problems, it is always important to evaluate various practices before choosing where to book your appointment.

Location is a basic aspect that most people will consider. It goes without saying that when dealing with pain issues, long travels may not exactly present an arrangement that you may want to go for. Even so, you must not make a choice that is entirely based on location. It would be in your best interests to search for reliable clinics a bit further if you cannot find a suitable practice within your neighborhood.

Finding competent chiropractors who have years of experience up their belts is good. It is also vital for you to ensure you would receive treatment from an environment that matches your standards. See to it that you are comfortable with the ambiance and professionalism standards portrayed in the clinic you choose.

Chiropractic care mainly involves the use of manual techniques to properly align the body and enable it to heal itself naturally. Then again, the care is also highly mental. If you are not in the right state of mind and you are tense or uncomfortable during your sessions, then there is a good likelihood that treatment will not work for you.

Even a top chiropractor cannot guarantee you of getting an amazingly fast recovery. Patients are different when it comes to their immune system and even the severity of their health problems. It is however crucial for you to focus on finding a specialist who has extensive experience when it comes to being of real assistance to patients who have suffered from concerns like yours.

The importance of your personal comfort should not be taken for granted. Take note of the personalities as well as the communication skills of prospective specialists. The whole idea is to affirm that you would be glad to honor your appointments and diligently follow your treatment plan in order to have a good chance of recovering completely.

Your investigations could start online. Find the profiles of local reputable chiropractors and also check out their blogs as well as their customer testimonials. It would also make sense for you to seek personal recommendations from acquaintances that have in the past sought after chiropractic care.

By Edna Booker


There are different ways one can acquire a job, the most popular way nowadays is through recruitment agencies. Such firms are able to connect employees with employers. They deal with thousands of applications every time, thus the candidates who visit them must be at their best behavior when they visit them. To increase the possibility of an employee getting a job, here are some guides when interacting with human resources consulting agencies.

There is no specific tip that will guarantee instant success but you can consider some of them. The employee should do their homework on the answers they are likely to be asked. Here are some tips to get the most out of the meeting.

You will be asked some questions even though the information is already on the curriculum vitae. The worst mistake is to give contradicting or false information. What you state should be same as what is written in the papers submitted earlier. Some employees feel the need to exaggerate the information they give to make the manager think they are the most qualified people. They make the document since it is in their possession. Potential candidates should avoid lying.

If you get an invitation to attend an interview, you must attend. To qualify to get the call means that the person has the best credentials. The only mistake they make is not to attend. The reason they do not is that they feel if they do not deserve the job or have other commitments. The best thing to do if you have other commitments is to call and offer an apology for not showing up on a certain date and ask the meeting to be rescheduled.

You should be a credible person in the eyes of the consultant and the administrator. Firms will employ only those they feel they can trust with their internal secrets. Every firm has its own secrets and it will insist they should not get to the public. The best thing to do is to present you as a credible person who deserves the job. This means they should trust you even on small matters such as the information you give them. There should be no discrepancy on the information given.

The employee, whether employed or not, should be accessible to everyone. This means that they should not turn down offer even if they already have a job. There are several offers available even if one already has a permanent job. The offers may be better than the current opportunities meaning they should reply to the consultants emails and calls.

The dress code tells a lot about someone. Since it involves a job, they should keep everything formal. The manager judges people based on their dressing codes. If they are properly dressed, it means they will take they work seriously.

For one to get a job they must speak in a formal way. At all times, they should speak in a formal language even if the other person does not. It may be used against the person so they had better be at their best at all times.

The Biochemical Basis for a Gratitude Practice


by Nina
In a Meadow by Melina Meza
II.33 Upon being harassed by negative thoughts, one should cultivate counteracting thoughts. —translated by Edwin Bryant

For some time now, I’ve been intrigued by Facebook posts from certain friends that simply list things the person is grateful for. I particularly like the ones by my friend Liz because her lists include very simple things, mostly free and available to almost everyone.

Today's good things:

  1. Walked six miles;
  2. Dog therapy on campus today, in particular the golden retriever puppy;
  3. Watching the bushtits (birds) flit in and out of the trees on campus;
  4. Got a lot of items off my 'to do' list at work, moving forward with several work projects and learning new things.
I also happen to know this gratitude practice is a very serious one for Liz, because she suffers from a serious, chronic illness that affects her quality of life and requires quite a bit of time spent in the hospital. She says, “It’s been bumpy, but I saw research that said gratitude practice helps. And I set intentions at the beginning of each day and have seen improvement.”

Today's good things:

  1. Three mile walk at lunch, great watching the hawks circle;
  2. Very productive day at work, a lot of weeding and organizing;
  3. Ran into a lovely friend whom I haven't seen in a while, always great to catch up;
  4. Gluten-free ice cream sandwiches
So I was very intrigued when I learned that neuroscientist Alex Korb’s book The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time actually provides a scientific explanation of why this practice works. Apparently, cultivating gratitude actually has a beneficial chemical effect on the brain, boosting dopamine (a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centers) and serotonin (a neurotransmitter that affects our mood) levels.

“The benefits of gratitude start with the dopamine system, because feeling grateful activates the brain stem region that produces dopamine. Additionally, gratitude toward others increases activity in social dopamine circuits, which makes social interactions more enjoyable …”

“One powerful effect of gratitude is that it can boost serotonin. Trying to think of things you are grateful for forces you to focus on the positive aspects of your life. This simple act increases serotonin production in the anterior cingulate cortex.” —Dr. Korb


When I was thinking about how this practice related to yoga (haha, I figured it must!), I came back to this sutra by Patanjali about cultivating the opposite (pratipaksa-bhavanam).

II.33 Upon being harassed by negative thoughts, one should cultivate counteracting thoughts. —translated by Edwin Bryant

Bryant explains in his commentary on this sutra that the “negative thoughts” being referred to are those that counter the yamas and niyamas. So thoughts that are the opposite of contentment (the niyama santosha), such as dissatisfaction, displeasure, and unhappiness, would count as negative thoughts that you should counteract. And the practice of being grateful for what you have, which is cultivating contentment, is indeed the practice of cultivating thoughts that counteract dissatisfaction, displeasure, and unhappiness.

Of course, when you are being “harassed by negative thoughts,” it often isn’t easy to find and focus on things you are grateful for. But Korb says, the effort alone provides the benefits.

“It’s not finding gratitude that matters most; it’s remembering to look in the first place. Remembering to be grateful is a form of emotional intelligence. One study found that it actually affected neuron density in both the ventromedial and lateral prefrontal cortex. These density changes suggest that as emotional intelligence increases, the neurons in these areas become more efficient. With higher emotional intelligence, it simply takes less effort to be grateful.”

Fascinating, isn’t it? Just like strengthening a muscle, a regular gratitude practice makes you stronger at being grateful over time. So that means getting better as it as you age, and eventually more time spent in a state of contentment. And those brain density changes? That sounds to me like the gratitude practice is improving brain strength—always a good thing.

And by the way, thank you Liz for agreeing to share your story with us. I'm grateful for your friendship and your honesty.
