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.

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.

Overall marks have increased by about 15,7 percent while earlier only 1,7% were achieved.

9. Sugar and Stress

Scientists inform that people who eat many sugar doesn’t have important nutrients in they ration, especially vitamins A, C, B12, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. Sadly 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 food more carefully. Not all products containing sugar are sweet. Buying premade and conserved food products closely read tags. Even dietary foods 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.

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.
