copper-ring

Healing copper features were known long ago. This metal actively participates in the supply of blood to the tissues and in the metabolic reactions. Healthy people should get about 2mg of copper per day. It is assumed that 1 liter water contains about 1mg of copper so if you drink 2 liters of water everyday you should get the minimum amount of copper to stay healthy.

Copper is found in such products like meat, fish, bread, peas, various fruits and vegetables. Huge amount of copper is found in the champignons, potatoes, kidneys, liver, egg yolk, whole grains and in some sea products. All these products should be included in your diet. On the contrary diary products can lead to copper deficiency in the body. In ancient times copper was used to heal various ailments.

Copper is known for the ability to kill germs. In a case of bruise it is advised to place copper coin on the hurting place. You can heal painful places by putting copper things (collar, wire) on them.
Copper ring can help when you feel pain in the palm joints.

Diabetes is treated with copper sulphate bath. It reduces the need of insulin for diabetics. Pour 1-2 table spoons copper sulphate in the hot bath. Repeat this procedure 1 or 2 times per week for about 15 minutes. Healing course consists of 10-15 such baths. You can repeat whole course 4-6 times in a year.

Nowadays it is very popular to wear copper bracelets. Copper level should be no less than 99%. It is believed that wearing copper bracelet on the right hand helps to relieve headache, insomnia, diabetes, impotence. Wearing bracelet on the left hand helps for high blood pressure, hemorrhoids, and tachycardia. Copper bracelet should be used for 2 years and it should be cleaned on a constant basis, otherwise the healing power diminishes.

Copper tools can reduce the risk of germs and infections. Try to replace iron door handles, water taps and switches to copper alternatives.

Interesting experiment where held in one clinic. All water taps and closet covers were replaced by copper parts. Doors were also covered with copper sheets. 2 times per day scientists were taking samples from these areas and comparing them with usual taps and covers. Germ levels on the copper parts were 95% less than on usual parts.

1. Sugar cause sudden increase in glucose level.

Uneven sugar level in your blood often cause mood changes, sudden tiredness, constant headache and the desire to eat even more sugar. Slowly it becomes a habit and new dose of sugar cause only temporary relief, however after few hours sugar deficiency and hunger become even stronger. On the other hand, those who don’t overuse sugar feel stronger and more vital.

2.  Sugar increases the risk of obese, diabetes and heart diseases

International researches showed that there is a correlation between usage of glycolic products including sugar and obesity or diabetes. Such products also increase the risk of heart diseases. Newest researches found some evidences that glycemic products can be biased with various cancer forms.

3. Sugar cause immune system disorders.

When experimenting with animals it was discovered that sugar block immune reactions. Further research is needed but it is now known that bacteria and yeast need sugar to grow. In the presence of imbalance between these materials (bacteria and sugar) human immune system can become weaker. As a result people tend to ill a lot more.

4. Large doses of sugar cause chromium deficiency in the body.

People who constantly consume large amounts of sugar or other refined carbohydrates do not get enough chromium which is mainly responsible for regulating sugar level in the blood.

5. Sugar cause aging.

Negative effects on your skin can be attributed to sugar. Certain parts of sugar molecules when entering into blood join with the proteins – this is called glycolisis. As a consequence new structures are formed which reduce body tissue integrity. To put it simply, the more sugar is in your blood the faster you become older. Well not you, your body does.

6.  Sugar cause dental decay.

All food products with sugar, artificial sweeteners and dyes where removed from pupil’s breakfast and lunch. The results where shockingly positive. Overall grades have increased by about 15,7 percent while test group achieved only 1,7% improvement.

9. Sugar and Stress

While in stressful situation body releases stress hormone cortisol. This hormone also makes himself more prevalent when sugar levels in blood decrease. For example when you eat a piece of cake, the sugar levels sharply increase after a while it decrease sharply also. At the time stress hormones are activated. They quickly pump more sugar and energy into the body. The problem is that those useful hormones can cause anxiety, irritation and sudden change of mood.

10. Sugar obtrudes important nutrients.

Scientists warn that people who consume lots of sugar don’t have important nutrients in they ration, especially vitamins A, C, B12, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. Sadly enough, kids fall into this category and they are those who need these nutrient the most.

Now when we know so much about sugar we can improve our life by choosing foods more carefully. Not all products containing sugar are sweet so you can’t tell by the taste. When buying premade or canned food products closely read description tags. Even dietary food can contain much sugar.

What are the most common causes of urinary incontinence?

Urinary problems occur when the bladder is too contracting too often. These contractions are not controlled and are provoked, for example, by the hand immersion in cold water or while listening to the sound of running water. This is called irritable urinary bladder.
The urine leaks during physical load, although the desire to urinate isn’t expressed. Medically this is called urinary incontinence during physical exertion.
Reasons for urinary incontinence often are complex.

Which type of women suffers more often?

• After the first birth – affected pelvic muscles.
• During menopause – muscle weakness and hormonal disorders.
• After the various pelvic and abdominal operations.
• For young woman during the active physical training.

What are the treatments? Which effective?

Urinary incontinence is treated in a number of ways, and they are divided into two broad groups: conservative and surgical. Conservative are four types.

Widely used psychotherapy. T. N.A. Jeffcoate in 1966 first described the treatment method, based on the bladder training. Recommended to fill in urinary calendar, relaxation, chats, hypnotic therapy.

Electricstimulation treatment – very old treatment method. Success rate in suh cases is 50-80 percent.
Urinary incontinence is treated also with medication. Medication to reduce the bladder activity. They activate different levels: central nervous system, blocking the activity of acetylcholine, directly reduces bladder contractions.
Physical therapy applied to reduce the urinary bladder hyperactivity. Very good results achieved by 46.6%, good – 40%, bad results-13.4% patients.

Innovative treatment – overactive bladder treatment with botulinum. If the medication does not work, the bladder muscle is injected with botulinum toxin. After the injection urination beomes scarce, bladder capacity increase, clearly improves quality of life

When conservative treatment methods are inefficient, surgical treatment methods are used.

Currently, the literature describes more than 200 different ways of bladder operations.

Urology Centers perform two types of operation:

• open surgery;
• minimally invasive surgery;
During open operations bladder neck and urethra are returned to normal anatomical position.

Urology Centers also perfors minimally invasive surgery to treat female urinary incontinence. The world has already done about 1 million such operations.

It takes about half an hour, the results are good. Woman gets home after 2 days. 1 month after the surgery is recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse, do not exercise and avoid hard physical activities.
