People who use computers on a daily basis often complain of eye irritation, fatigue and difficulty focusing. Just what I experience for being in front of the computer working for a long time. Most of these symptoms are caused by conditions surrounding the computer screen, and not necessarily the computer causing eyestrain. Poor lighting or improper placement of equipment and supplies, or a pre-existing eye problem may be the cause.

The computer screen should be placed slightly below eye level. Reference material should be placed on a document holder and moved close enough to the screen so that you don’t have to swing your head back and forth from the material and the screen. If that happens, your muscles can become stiff and sore, and your eyes have to constantly change focus, which can cause eyestrain or headaches.

Allergy alert
Many people like me, experience respiratory ailments like hay fever from exposure to molds and dust mites, some without even knowing the source of their symptoms. It is not fun. It really mess up my mood and my day. Asthma can result from prolonged exposure to these allergens. To limit health problems, it’s wise to make your home environment as allergen-free as possible.

Dust mites thrive in many areas of the typical home, so it’s important to control the amount of dust that accumulates. Carpeting and upholstered furniture are two common dust collectors. For those with serious allergies, removing the carpet is highly recommended. Clothes also attract dust, so confining them to closets and using protective covers for items that get infrequent use can help to control mites.

Once in a while we get hungry and many times, we eat anything without thinking about its nutritional value. When we feel like we are hypoglycemic that makes are very irritated and our hand tremor?
Sugar levels low? Lacking energy? Attacking the snack drawer is the easy way out, but offers no long-term nutritional benefits. Here are some “Worst Snack Foods” by Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S:

1. French Fries
Don’t be reassured by the fact that McDonald’s is changing its cooking oil. French fries are still starchy, white potatoes cooked in hot fat and flavoured with chemicals and sugar. Possibly the worst snack food on the planet.

2. Donuts
Fried bread. Need I say more? And if that wasn’t bad enough, add a sugary cream filling and a glaze of more sugar on top. Any questions?

3. Chips (Potato or Corn)
These are really just a packaged version of French fries (see #1). However, you can do damage control on this one by switching to baked blue corn chips, available in health food stores. It’s still not real food, but it beats the 7-Eleven version any day.

4. Soda
And sorry, this includes the diet kind. Absolutely nothing of any value here, and a whole lot of chemicals to boot.

There are a lot of different kinds of diet pills circulating around and it is hard to choose the best ones. Some of it has a lot of side effects that makes one weak or uncomfortable. When you really want to use diet pills try to consider Fenphedra. It is a pill that will not only burn fat but it contains ingredients that will keep you alert and energetic

Homes need to be the best place to live in. It should be clean or free from dust.
Encourage a flow of air through your home by opening windows - except those facing a busy road! Buy houseplants - these will filter out some air pollutants. Install an extractor fan in your kitchen. Use old-fashioned cleaning products (such as vinegar and bicarbonate of soda) instead of harsh chemical-based ones.

In my profession, one of the things we do is to do immunization to the children. This is a picture of us doing immunization. It is not easy for us because we don’t want to hurt them but we just think of the benefits it gives to them. What is immunization?

When the human immune system is exposed to molecules that are foreign to the body (non-self), it will orchestrate an immune response, but it can also develop the ability to quickly respond to a subsequent encounter (through immunological memory). This is a function of the adaptive immune system. Therefore, by exposing an individual to an immunogen in a controlled way, their body can learn to protect itself: this is called active immunisation.

The most important elements of the immune system that are improved by immunisation are the B cells (and the antibodies they produce) and T cells. Memory B cell and memory T cells are responsible for a swift response to a second encounter with a foreign molecule. Passive immunization is when these elements are introduced directly into the body, instead of when the body itself has to make these elements.

Immunisation can be done through various techniques, most commonly vaccination. Vaccines against microorganisms that cause diseases can prepare the body’s immune system, thus helping to fight or prevent an infection. The fact that mutations can cause cancer cells to produce proteins or other molecules that are unknown to the body forms the theoretical basis for therapeutic cancer vaccines. Other molecules can be used for immunisation as well, for example in experimental vaccines against nicotine (NicVAX) or the hormone ghrelin (in experiments to create an obesity vaccine).

Immunisation can be achieved in an active or passive fashion: vaccination is an active form of immunization.

Active immunization
Active immunisation entails the introduction of a foreign molecule into the body, which causes the body itself to generate immunity against the target. This immunity comes from the T cells and the B cells with their antibodies.

Active immunization can occur naturally when a person comes in contact with, for example, a microbe. If the person has not yet come into contact with the microbe and has no pre-made antibodies for defense (like in passive immunization), the person can become immunized. The immune system will eventually create antibodies and other defenses against the microbe. The next time, the immune response against this microbe can be very efficient; this is the case in many of the childhood infections that a person only contracts once, but then is immune.

Artificial active immunization is where the microbe, or parts of it, are injected into the person before they are able to take it in naturally. If whole microbes are used, they are pre-treated, so that they will not harm the injected person as the naturally occurring microbe would. Depending on the type of disease, this technique also works with dead microbes, parts of the microbe, or treated toxins from the microbe.

Passive immunization

Passive immunization is where pre-made elements of the immune system are transferred to a person, and the body doesn’t have to create these elements itself. Currently, antibodies can be used for passive immunization. This method of immunization begins to work very quickly, but it is short lasting, because the antibodies are naturally broken down, and if there are no B cells to produce more antibodies, they will disappear.

Passive immunization can be naturally acquired when antibodies are being transferred from mother to fetus during pregnancy, to help protect the fetus before and shortly after birth.

Artificial passive immunization is normally given by injection and is used if there has been a recent outbreak of a particular disease or as an emergency treatment to poisons (for example, for tetanus). The antibodies can be produced in animals or in vitro.

I have a little passion on cooking. Just lately, I want to enroll in culinary arts school. It feels so great to cook. It is more satisfying feeling when people like the food that you prepared. I really love seafood even though I have some allergic reaction when I eat them. I like crabs as well as my family. I like it when it is cooked with coconut milk. It is just so easy and quick to prepare. Bring the crabs to boil then add spices. Then add the coconut milk. Then boil it again and serve it hot. It is so yummy and tasty. It is a very simple domestic seafood dish but will give so much fun eating with our loved ones. I consider it as one of the amazing domestic seafood recipes I know. I used to watch “Iron Chef” in the TV. I am so amazed with the chefs. I am looking forward to see the upcoming culinary competition Cook off  to be held at New Orleans Morial Convention Center this Agust 2-3, 2008. Do not miss the event of Great American Seafood Cook-Off. It is great when we support our own domestic seafood that sustains us.

Allergies is a big problem. I am allergic to dust, fumes, and sea foods. It is not easy when the allergy attack. It really need to take my anti-histamine medications because it really disturb me. It made my throat sore. It is good to know that there are natural remedies to get rid of the allergy. I have to try it because I am tired of taking medications for my allergies.

The following is a list of natural remedy tips to reduce the effect of seasonal allergy:

Close the windows at home and in your car.

If you need to cool down, run the air conditioning instead of opening the windows. Also, put the air on “recirculate” so you’re not bringing in outside air filled with pollen.

Put pillows, box springs, and mattresses in cases that keep dust mites out. Wash it. Throw sheets, comforters, blankets, curtains, and washable stuffed animals regularly into the washing machine, set to the hottest water temperature the material can handle.

Use the clothes dryer. Dust mites can’t take the heat.

Keep kitchens and bathrooms clean and dry. If you use a humidifier, clean it regularly so it doesn’t become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.

If your kids have dust mite allergies and their toys can’t be washed, put the toys in the freezer for 48 hours every two weeks. Freezing temperatures will kill the dust mites, Duke University’s Williams says.

To further reduce dust mites, consider replacing your carpeting with hard flooring and getting rid of upholstered furniture.

Ask your doctor if your allergies are linked to your pet, and what to do about it.

In the basement or attic, put away collectibles and clothes in plastic storage bags and run a dehumidifier to prevent mold growth.

Acupuncture, part of traditional Chinese medicine, has shown promise in some allergy studies. In acupuncture, very fine needles are inserted into specific points on the body to rebalance what practitioners call chi, or vital energy.

Although there is little research on the use of supplements for hay fever, one herb has undergone clinical testing. One study showed that an extract called butterbur Ze330 worked as well as a prescription antihistamine. It also did not cause sleepiness, which may make it a better option than some over-the-counter allergy remedies.

Researchers have also looked at vitamin C and other supplements, such as urtica dioica, bromelain, quercetin, and N-acetylcysteine, for fighting allergies. At this point, there is little evidence that they work.

There are a lot of people died because of cancer. In my field of profession I have seen two patients died because of certain cancer. It is so devastating. There is a new research that thought be cure cancer called Resveratrol. It is good news for all cancer patients. For more information about it just read the resveratrol forum. Be informed and be a part of this.
