We need light and many people are
affected in winter by the very
short days and lack of sunshine.
Light is extremely important for the needs
of man. Edgar Cayce
recommended 2 hrs a day but not at the
height of the day. Sunlight
metabolizes vitamin D which is needed for
the absorption of Calcium,
with osteoporosis now affecting one in three
women over 50 and one
in twelve men, anything we can do to absorb
calcium must be looked
at. According to one reputable light
therapist who listed ten main
benefits from sunlight which include.
1 Production of vitamin D,
2.Lowers blood pressure.
3.Increases heart pumping efficiency.
4.Improves ECG readings.
5.Reduces Cholesterol and hypertension
6.Assists weight loss.
7.Effective with Psoriasis.
8.Increases the level of sex hormones.
9.Helps alleviate Asthma and other lung
disorders.
10.Helps improve mood.
As with most things one can have too much
.Too much sunlight will
age the skin and give an increased risk of
skin cancer, which is
frequently caused by too much UV radiation.
An interesting point
with sunlight is the fact that you can get
burnt through cloud cover
or in shallow water. Never expose babies to
direct sun between 11am-
2pm in summer. As a precaution if any mole
changes colour, shape,
size or becomes itchy, or bleeds seek
medical advice straight the
way, melanoma if caught early is well
treatable, caught late it can
be much more problematic. Alternatively to
sunlight one can use a
light box but this will have to be the right
kind of light and the
right intensity and with this one can then
expose oneself or others
to the right duration of time.
With the now recognized problem of season
affected disorder -the
Cayce statement is well justified.
Insufficient light will cause all
major problems things like depression,
Fatigue and drowsiness
will be seen more in winter as the dark days
come.
Apparently a thirty-minute exposure to
sunlight will produce enough vitamin D for
the entire day. People in winter are now
using light boxes, which
should be of at least 10,000-lux full
spectrum type lights and
flicker free. Also used is UV light and both
of these types of light
are to be used in the early morning to keep
us in balance. Treatment
with these methods has been effective in
about 85% of cases. Our
pineal gland responds to sunlight and a
sunny day produces about
100,000 lux, the pineal gland produces
melatonin, which lowers heart
rate and prepares the body for sleep.
However
You have to get sufficient daylight to
produce Melatonin. PMS has now
been linked to low melatonin . In fact
one has to apparently protect
our melatonin as things like Glutamate
(often used in food
additives) caffeine, alcohol, tobacco,
chocolate, non steroid anti
inflammatory, beta blockers, Prozac, and
valium deplete it.
Melatonin is a very important chemical and
acts as an anti oxidant
and free radical scavenger and these things
are linked to aging.
Curiously St. johns wort used for depression
is a melatonin
stimulator.
Tests have also been done with florescent
lighting at a school in
Florida, the tests clearly showed evidence
for increased
Hyperactivity, Irritability, Depression and
Fatigue. Surprisingly the
lighting also affected blind people as well.
The clear alternative
for florescent lights are the full spectrum
type lights where they
very nearly replicate sunlight, again tests
have shown improved
Health and performance, a decrease in
headaches, Depression and
fatigue.
The nice thing about light therapy is that
the side effects are
experienced by only a small percentage of
people, and typically are
temporary. They can include a jittery
feeling,
Three decades of scientific research
and clinical practice have yielded a variety
of effective approaches to drug addiction
treatment.
We treat drug addiction, tension,
stress, psych disorders electronically and
pulse technology by indigenous developed
trans cranial magnetic pulsars. You are
better by day one. What are you waiting for.
The human brain has four
frequencies, alpha the resting frequency,
beta the activity related frequency, delta
and theta the sleep related frequency. No
where in the world can you get peace of mind
like a brain frequency pulsar can do.
Do you have a child or teenager
who shows anger does not listen to you. We
will turn him around in a month.
We use Love, teaching and
electronics to tune you up. No lockup, no
restraints just a soft human touch.
Drug addiction is a complex illness.
It is characterized by compulsive, at times
uncontrollable drug craving, seeking, and
use that persist even in the face of
extremely negative consequences. For many
people, drug addiction becomes chronic, with
relapses possible even after long periods of
abstinence.
The path to drug addiction begins with
the act of taking drugs. Over time, a
person's ability to choose not to take drugs
can be compromised. Drug seeking becomes
compulsive, in large part as a result of the
effects of prolonged drug use on brain
functioning and, thus, on behavior.
The compulsion to use drugs can take over
the individual's life. Addiction often
involves not only compulsive drug taking but
also a wide range of dysfunctional behaviors
that can interfere with normal functioning
in the family, the workplace, and the
broader community. Addiction also can place
people at increased risk for a wide variety
of other illnesses. These illnesses can be
brought on by behaviors, such as poor living
and health habits, that often accompany life
as an addict, or because of toxic effects of
the drugs themselves. Pressure from friends
in school to get into a so called in group.
Because addiction has so many dimensions
and disrupts so many aspects of an
individual's life, treatment for this
illness is never simple. Drug treatment must
help the individual stop using drugs and
maintain a drug-free lifestyle, while
achieving productive functioning in the
family, at work, and in society. Effective
drug abuse and addiction treatment programs
typically incorporate many compo-nents, each
directed to a particular aspect of the
illness and its consequences.
Three decades of scientific research and
clinical practice have yielded a variety of
effective approaches to drug addiction
treatment. Extensive data document that drug
addiction treatment is as effective as are
treatments for most other similarly chronic
medical conditions. In spite of scientific
evidence that establishes the effectiveness
of drug abuse treatment, many people believe
that treatment is ineffective. In part, this
is because of unrealistic expectations. Many
people equate addiction with simply using
drugs and therefore expect that addiction
should be cured quickly, and if it is not,
treatment is a failure. In reality, because
addiction is a chronic disorder, the
ultimate goal of long-term abstinence often
requires sustained treatment that it
is not forced upon you.
Of course, not all drug abuse treatment
is equally effective. Research also has
revealed a set of overarching principles
that characterize the most effective drug
abuse and addiction treatments and their
implementation.
We use behavior modification, coupled
with religious teachings, improving the
family bond, induction of exercise and a non
chemical electronic program which is highly
successful. |
