Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition which causes extra skin to pile up on the surface of your body. This overgrowth of skin cells appears most often on the elbows, knees, or scalp, but Psoriasis plaques can occur anywhere on the body, including the genitals, feet, or hands.
When psoriasis skin plaques and patches develop, they look like thick patches of white skin which is often flaky, and covered in silver or white scales. Sometimes psoriasis is red and itchy too.
Every few years a Noble Cause or some sort of Bandwagon appears that seems as though it has real traction to make a change for the better.
One of those "Bandwagons" is the Environmental or Green Movement. Now don't get me wrong, I am all for Saving the environment. Yes we all need to conserve, recycle and not be so wasteful. But what happens, when someone uses that platform for their own selfish needs? Does it happen?? WE would be naive to think otherwise.
If I were to tell you that all PLANETS in the solar system have been slowly heating up in the past several years, would that change your outlook on Earth? IT SHOULD! If there are not humans on other planets, then how else can you explain it?? Solar system changes, primarily sun and its relationship to the earth.
So with that said, maybe there is a guy like Al Gore who lost barely in a previous election, would want to make a major comeback somehow?
The fact of the mater is that as temperature goes up, C02 levels rise. Not the other way around. C02 is create in mass amounts from sea organisms, I mean massive amounts. Just go to Youtube and search for "Global Warming Hoax", its all over the news. Al Gore dares to use a green moral platform in a unethical way. If you knew how many research jobs this movement created to line pockets and support this Hoax. Yes of course some are needed, but the lie created jobs that are wasteful.. It makes me sick. Of course we need to reduce C02, but twisted lies and scare tactics are not the way to do it.
Check out the Pen and Teller Video below, its a perfect example of why you need to question different proposals or platforms based on a herd type movement. This is a great example where all people need to do is hear a buzzword, and they are on board. No questions asked. This is why herding mentality can hurt us all. This is why you must have free thought and honestly examine things where it always seems like the "CROWD is on Board". Its why financial and stock bubbles get created. SO much to be said, but lets save it for another blog entry! :)
How funny ehg?? I love it. Ban water, yeah lets do it! So how many other "H20's" are out there that shouldn't be banned!?? Or for that matter how many ideas or substances shouldn't even be in the environmental movement. Food for thought. Then again, the food may be laced with pesticide, so watch out!
Always question the Herd.
Adios, Sean
An herbal poultice is very much like a salve, but it's usually applied to larger injuries and designed to help with more internal issues such as broken bones, pulled tendons and strained muscles. Poultices tend to be a combination of herbs, which will take away pain, reduce swelling and inflamation, plus start the healing process in the affected area of the body.
Keep in mind that while many poultices, herbal salves and remedies can be used to treat almost anything, there are times when a hospital visit is required. Treating an immediate bleeding issue by putting Cayenne on a wound is fine, but if the wound is severe, going to the hospital and getting stiches is usually prudent. The same applies to broken bones: Applying salves or poultices to help the bone heal faster, and help remove pain is fine. But don't try setting the bone yourself and treating it 100% at home.
There are a wide variety of treatments which are often used to try and cure nail fungus problems. Some people resort to unorthodox remedies that sound strange, while others will pay large sums of money to take risky prescription drugs for months.
Nail fungus can be successfully treated, but often it takes quite a long time to do. This is because in most cases, the treatments must continue regularly until an entire new nail is grown out without any sign of fungal growth in it. New nails can take over a year to grow for some people, and if the treatments are not kept up consistently that entire time, there is a risk of the new nail growth being infected by the fungus before it's completely gone from the old nail.
We mentioned in an earlier article that food can have a big effect on how healthy the body's immune system is. The type of foods you eat can either weaken or strengthen your body's immune system, and this in turn will affect your overall health levels. If you have a disease such as HIV or Diabetes, your body's immune system is already weak, so you must take steps to help make it stronger and more balanced. Everyone can benefit health wise from having a stronger immune system though, and one of the best ways to accomplish this is through the foods we choose to eat.
There are a whole host of problems, symptoms, and conditions which are related to, or caused by, hormonal imbalances in a woman's body. In fact, so many things are caused by hormonal problems, that many of the complaints are dismissed by doctors who don't know any better.
Just a few of the problems caused by hormonal imbalances include acne, night sweats, chronic fatique, vaginal dryness, mood swings, depression and anxiety, headaches, fuzzy thinking, and water retention or swelling in various parts of the body.
Capitalism is an amazing thing. How many times have we said to ourselves, "If I only had a ten thousand dollars, things would be much better. Well, in the past 20 years while the market has trended up tremendously, many of us have reached that goal. Of course initially its a goal, but in time unfortunately it becomes a milestone.
Think about it, when we reach that mark, we say to ourselves, "Wow, if this is what $10K feels like, imagine what $20K will fill like!! Bam!" Unconsciously we think that our life happiness might double, so we go for it. And in time, we get to the same milestone, and ad infinitum. A viscous cycle that seems great, but more often than not it just leads to more hollowness. Don't get me wrong, some people learn that enough is enough, and live a happy life with a more modest desire for business successes. Its hard, I struggle with it, we all do. Everyone wants to retire in 1 year or less.
I think Charles Payne said it best from Minyanville,
Don't get me wrong: Capitalism is in the DNA of human beings. We love to compete. We love to help each other and if we�can make a buck in the process all the better. We love to build, starting from those sand castles at the beach when we are only toddlers to families, businesses and skyscrapers. The thing that happens is, we become victims of our own success. Even when people are doing great financially and are making more money than they have in the past, they tend to feel bad about themselves if someone else is doing much better. That's envy at work. I hope it doesn't rip apart the fabric of our country, because there are a lot of folks hoping that happens.
Capitalism is a double edge sword, unfortunately we don't realize it until we lose what we so dearly worked for. A classic example of how history repeats itself, and the previous generation is gone or to senile to remember or remind us of such important lessons. :0
Until then, try to stay in balance with all your desires, albeit financial or any other, its the key to good health and longevity.
Approximately 2.1 million Americans have a chronic disease known as Rheumatoid arthritis. This disease affects primarily women though, with about 70% of sufferers being female. Men and children can get the disease too, even though it's more rare, but when men get it they tend to have more severe symptoms from it than women.
Rheumatoid arthritis is simply an inflammation of the tissue which lines your joints. Since this inflammation is chronic though, time will cause the tissue to cause joint damage, limit movement abilities of the affected joints, and cause increasing amounts of pain.
When someone has medical problems caused by heart disease and related factors, there are several types of medical treatments which may be used. Which treatments used will depend on the individual condition, specific problems a person has, and what other treatments are currently in use.
The first step in treating heart disease and related health problems is to improve your lifestyle habits. If you smoke cigarettes for instance, you're told to quit immediately. Smoking can damage your arteries, and this damage can lead to the creation of blockages.
There are many herbs which work wonderfully for correcting female hormone imbalances. When women and young girls have hormonal imbalances in their bodies, it can cause severe menstrual cramps, plus heavy menstrual blood flow too. Sometimes the menstruation period lasts longer than normal, and often other seemingly unrelated problems are happening in the body too such as severe acne break outs.
-- Bloggers note: Reader's Peter Schiff is one of the few economists who REALLY saw this downturn coming before it happened. Many jumped on the bandwagon after the fact, but not Mr. Schiff. He is a great forecaster, and extremely succinct writer, I recommend following him. --

Insanity is often defined as repeating the same action while expecting a different result. Recent Congressional activity to push through this year's second economic "stimulus" package certainly indicates that many of our political leaders may have special needs.Responding to the $150 billion stimulus that was passed at the beginning of the year, I made the following observation in my February 15th commentary Upping the Inflation Dosage : "The failure of the stimulus plan to cure the economy will cause the Government, and the Wall Street brain trust, to conclude that it was simply too small. Their next solution will be to administer an even stronger dose."
It's interesting to recall that at the time, just 9 months ago, the $150 billion package caused much hand wringing, especially from Republicans still clinging to notions of Federal restraint. This was before an avalanche of more than $2 trillion in new spending initiatives -- before Bear Stearns, wide open discount windows, AIG, Fannie/Freddie, Federal Mortgage Auctions, Detroit loan guarantees, and preferred shares in the banks. In retrospect, the $150 billion stimulus seems quaint. It is not surprising that the latest package is expected to be twice as large. When this one fizzles, look for "Stimulus III" to be even larger.
It amazes me how I can read so many articles time and time again, or watching the pundits on CNBC fleece the public into thinking the bottom is either here or very near. Do people suffer from short term memory problems? Or are people wising up to the fact that these "experts" are really no experts.
Month after month, over 80% of the experts and money managers say we are almost out of the woods. They say things like, "Its a buyers market", "Invest for the long term". The narrow sightedness of these people is appalling. Half of them should be shot for swindling people into investing recklessly on the way up, and now its holding on the way down. Why do people continue to listen to these people who got them into this mess? Instanity.
Very few of these experts, study economic history, except the 1 to 40 years of experience in their own lives. Since when is 40 years a snapshot of everything that society has lived through? This is precisely why history repeats itself.
They don't do any long term projections. They don't pull up charts showing how this macroeconomic formula shows that this imbalance has now been corrected. Of course not!! They are fat cats just spewing hopes and some minuscule sliver of micro economics about X data figure looks good so thats the sign we need.
You could take any month in the past year and hear them say, its about over or it will be next quarter. Of course people believe them because that's what they want to hear as they have thousands being drained from their 401'Ks and Retirement plans. I feel so bad for people after the market is down nearly 50%!
So when is it going to be over? You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. If you study the many theories on social mood, that I have mentioned before, it all makes sense, usually after you have lived through it. SO try to live through it by studying history, i.e. the great depression or other times in World history like the Japan's 90's economic deflation crisis or the economic disaster of the Revolutionary War.
The big picture says this, "when people are afraid, I mean really afraid like sworn off the stock market afraid". When most of your friends say, "Stay out" or have dire stories of how they lost almost all of their life savings. That is the time to buy, that is when the bottom is in. This is no minor correction. Right now they are still exuberant to get in, afraid to miss the capital gains, as shown by the many volatile swings upward. Social mood comes in waves, so don't expect it to bottom all in a straight line now.
Not to toot my own horn, but thankfully, there are people who can make money on the way down, puts and shorts like myself have a field day. Many say its not right to make it on the way down, but honestly we should have never gotten that high in the first place. Besides, people lose on the way up if they don't sell, in fact, you could have been the one who sold the stock to them.
Look at the market going down near 7400, then up for a few weeks and then down again some more. Its real easy to say and swallow when you haven't been sold a bill of goods for the past 10 years. I am sorry for anyone who has been sold this bill. Next time, run from market hysteria.
Best of luck, happy investing.
If you choose to do a juice fast, regardless of whether you're doing it to lose weight or cleanse and tone your body and its major organs, breaking that fast properly is a very important part of the process.
If you try to go from a liquid diet straight to regular solid foods, you will get sick. You will vomit, have stomach cramps, and possibly have to go to the hospital. So it's extremely important to do it right or you will have ruined all the great work you've done with your body so far.
The most promising treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and related health problems such as Fibromyalgia, seem to be achieved by sufferers who decided to take matters into their own hands. And in most cases, the success stories often stem from changes in lifestyle or eating habits. Notably, many CFS sufferers have found relief by changing to a lower carb style diet.
The success of a low carb diet in treating Chronic fatigue might be contributed to a number of things. Lower carb diets tend to control yeast bacteria in the bowel better for instance, because there is not enough sugars and starches for the yeast to feed on. Lower carb diets also tend to balance out blood sugar levels, and in some cases they balance blood pressure too. Then there are a variety of other benefits often acheived such as better nutrition, vitamins, minerals and fiber intake too.
An altered diet is the most common way to reduce LDL and raise HDL. Remember that the goal for optimal health is to have a high HDL and low LDL. If you are overweight, losing weight can lower LDL, raise HDL and reduce the risk of medical complications such as heart disease. Waist size is often used in calculating the risk of heart disease. Ideally, a woman?s waist should not exceed 35 inches and a man?s should not exceed 40 inches.
