What is Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging?

Posted on: June 28th, 2013

From the paper “The Physiological Basis for Clinical Thermography and the Detection of Infrared Radiation from the Human Body.” By Peter Leando (Ref 11) I quote; “The emissivity of human skin is almost 100% (close to black body emissivity) so the human subject is an ideal subject for thermographic imaging. All thermographic images (thermograms) of the human body depend on the sympathetic control of skin blood-flow.  Only the dermal blood flow changes explain the heat seen on the surface of the body. The heat of a muscle, a joint or a bone is not conducted to the dermal tissues and...

What we eat is really our chemotherapy

Posted on: June 21st, 2013

What we eat is really our chemotherapy three times a day. William Li presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumour. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that cut off the supply lines and beat cancer at its own game. Some of the foods he recommended are: green tea, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, apples, pineapple, cherries, red grapes, red wine, bok choy, kale, soy beans, ginseng, maitake mushroom, licorice...

Current ‘Pharmaceuticals’ for Pain Relief

Posted on: June 14th, 2013

What are the current “pharmaceutical” products/systems for pain management? Pain management (also called pain medicine) is the discipline concerned with the relief of pain. Acute pain, such as occurs with trauma, often has a reversible cause and may require only transient measures and correction of the underlying problem. In contrast, Chronic pain often results from conditions that are difficult to diagnose and treat, and that may take a long time to reverse. Some examples include cancer, neuropathy and referred pain. Often, pain pathways are set up that continue to transmit the...

Is the pH of my soap important?

Posted on: May 31st, 2013

Soaps vary in their pH depending on how they are manufactured. Natural saponification usually results in a soap which has a pH in the range 10 to 11.5. This is very alkaline and can cause some irritation to sensitive skin. Common mass market toilet soaps, laundry soaps and even some ‘baby soaps’ can fall into this category. Soaps that are based on milder saponification techniques or are ‘superfatted’ have a much lower pH of around 8.5 to 10. While this is still alkaline it is much less alkaline than mass market soaps. Any soaps that have a pH around 5.5 (the pH of normal skin) are...

There are many treatments for Heel Spur

Posted on: May 30th, 2013

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue attached to the heel bone that supports the arch of the foot. When plantar fasciitis continues for a long time, a heel spur (calcium deposit) may form where the fascia tissue band connects to your heel bone. Approximately 8-10 percent of the population has severe bone heel spurs, with the most common treatments for alleviating the pain being ice, heat, stretching and various anti-inflammatory agents. Steroids and local anesthetics can be injected, and oral analgesic medications may be prescribed, but most of these methods have only provided...

The Future of Aromatherapy

Posted on: May 29th, 2013

The future potential for aromatherapy as a medicine is enormous and diverse. We have seen the popularity of aromatherapy grow, especially during the last two decades to help aid headaches, soothe arthritic joints and muscular pain, encourage sound sleep and help with hormonal changes to name just of the few of the many wonderful benefits. I believe the use of essential oils will become commonplace in our homes, hospitals and other healing centres. They will prove that they are a potent alternative to using many drugs and a first-choice when it comes to the treatment of many ailments...

Butter vs Margarine

Posted on: June 1st, 2012

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING. BUTTER VS MARGARINEThis is interesting ... it was sent in an email to me. Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavourings.... DO YOU KNOW. The differenc...

Benefits of Carrier Oils

Posted on: May 24th, 2012

BENEFITS IN SKIN CARE Fats or oils are major components of cell walls, intracellular membranes. These are typically made up of a double layer of phospholipids. Cholesterol, so often painted as the bad guy, is fundamental to such membranes. It’s not surprising that oil is important in skin care. The skin contains a number of fats and related substances. You would expect to find the following in “average” skin fats: Triglycerides 32%, Free fatty acids 28%, Waxes 14%, Cholesterol and esters 4%, Squalene 5%, Other hydrocarbons 8%, Steroids 9%. Vegetable oils are among the oldest used...
