Tea Tree Oil??
Will tea tree grease backing restore to health a wound?? Such as a lip piercing?? Will it back it treat faster and sustain prevent infections??Answers: its better to attain a special, smaller number concentrated altered copy, as it stings similar to hell sometimes. you can probably receive these from your local chemist.
It does serve to restore to health a wound and to prevent infections. Tea tree grease is NOT intended to be ingested however, so I would not use it on a lip piercing. It would also tend to irritate the diaphanous skin of your mouth.
Leave the tea tree grease to cuts on the regular skin of you body, hand and foot. For the mouth I would stick to keeping the nouns verbs next to dampen irrigation--maybe even a stunted saline and use for a while neosporin or something similar.
not sure roughly speaking that/but its fitting for spots,so i wouldnt create in your mind it would do it any mar ,i would check this out beside your local chemist simply to be past the worst. xx
Can you own insanitary amounts of brackish contained by yout food minus making it inedible?
I enjoy other contained that the body works accommodatingly monitors the concetration of brackish and disposes of any surplus by sweating and through the bladder. Salt tablets are advise if you are sweating heavily or suffer from cramp.Answers: The body will attempt to regulate brackish, but it can merely do so much.
Compare it to other conditions that the body tries to regulate - heat, for example, is regulated by sweating, vasodilation/constriction hair standing up or lying flat - but if you dance streaking surrounded by Antartica you will still die.
The amount of brackish that contains a deleterious body of sodium is particularly low. As you use more saline on your food, your tastebuds adjust, and you hold to use more to return with duplicate effect. So for some inhabitants, food which is hazardously brackish will not even seem to be brackish at adjectives.
(My sister, for example, like to roll a pickled onion surrounded by a saucer of saline so that it have a full coat of saline. She will drink a adjectives jar this course, consequently drink the vinegar out of it.)
I believe lo-salt contains a potassium saline fairly than a sodium saline.
No dude. Salt can be rather bad for you within low doses. We should pinch no more than 5 g contained by a light of day. When I use brackish (other than surrounded by cooking) I use a "Lo Salt". I presume it is merely 30% saline but near adjectives the bite.

Yes, you can own insalubrious amounts of brackish contained by your food short making it inedible IF you enjoy soaring blood pressure combined near a saline sensitivity (they don't necessarily step appendage contained by paw as previously believed). Check the label on the prepared foods and you'll find that tons of them enjoy almost as much sodium contained by one serving as you're supposed to consume within a light of day. I am also astounded at the amount of flabby, cholesterol and carbohydrates within abundant prepared foods.
My argument on sodium intake is that I want to avoid prepared foods near a glorious sodium content and try to put together as much food from cut into as possible. I do use saline when I cook, escpecially on meat because it help to save the meat moist. The pinch of brackish that you put on your potato at home doesn't come close to the amount of sodium contained by a box of macaroni & cheese or one of those awful can of gravy.
I am a little worried about Alzheimer's?
I am 45 years old, and my father passed away 4 years ago with complications from Alzheimers, he was 85. In the last few months I have began to notice that I have trouble remembering several things in my day....I will ask my daughter if she has to work and then maybe 2 hours later ask the same question.I can remember things from my past with no problem. It just seems to be a short term thing. I have to write things down on paper or I am lost as to what I need to do for the week.
I also have not worked for about a year and a half and I just wondered if you do not stimulate your brain, it starts to deteriorate. I know I must sound a "little stupid" and that I should just make an apointment with the doctor, but I would like a little insight.
Answers: Read voraciously, and do things like crossword puzzles or other mind-bender games...
By doing things that "challenge the intellect," new neuronal brain synapses form, and branch out, and strengthen already existing ones...like a tree that grows new branches when the soil around it becomes rich in nutrients...
Also, learning a musical instrument has been found to increase intelligence in people profoundly...I've always played guitar since I was 18...and I am one smart mojo...everytime I take an I.Q. test every few years...it gets higher and higher...even listening to music, and learning the songs in your mind, helps increase brain efficiency...
And believe it or not (Discover Magazine Article) scientists found that simple walking a lot everyday (1 or two miles) improves brain function...go figure...and we thought physical exercise was simply helping our muscles...
But remember...the brain is like a muscle...scientists found that they can reduce and even reverse some of the congnitive function loss in Alzheimer's, Stroke, and Senility patients by getting them to read, do puzzles, and walk (or jog or whatever you choose as a physical activity)...
It turns out...what's good for the body is good for the brain...and vice versa...so I recommend...
Reading, puzzles, and walking every day...even a little will go a long way...just thought I share that interesting little piece of wisdom and scientific knowledge with you...
Get going on it...if you have a family history of it...the earlier the better...ever since I started over a year ago to ride my bike everyday...I feel better, stronger, faster, and smarter...
It's a "yes-brainer..." (funny p.s...I'm 43...and when I switched to "zipper" jeans over "button-fly," I kept forgetting to "zip up" after taking a whiz...so for a few weeks, I kept looking down to find my zipper open...I started thinking it was an "Alzheimer's-like" symptom...but when I switched back to "button-fly," the problem magically vanished...lol...)
I have alzheimers in my family too and worry about developing it myself. My maternal Great Grandmother and maternal Grandmother both died with it. My Mother who is in her late 60s is trying to keep her mind sharp by doing word puzzles, reading and playing cards as much as possible. Anything to keep the mind active and challenged.
There are easy tests your doctor can give you to determine if you are showing signs of the disease. If he/she believes you are in the first stages there are new medications that can help slow down it's progress. So don't be scared to get tested. It is better to know and do something about it early than to be ignorant and just let it take over.
But be assured that forgetfulness doesn't necessarily mean you have Alzheimers. A lot of women will have boughts of forgetfulness during menopause, could you be starting the change? And people who don't stay active mentally will lose some of their sharpness and clarity.
I think keeping the mind active with brain puzzlers might help. I absolutely believe in brain stimulation.
An MRI can diagnose Alzheimers.
You may be stressed... those are similar symptoms.
To be sure, check with a doctor. There are many advancements in alzheimers treatment and IF you are affected, early treatment would be beneficial.
Don't do flu shots, then. http://commons.ucalgary.ca/mercury/
Study showing how mercury causes brain damage. Its in flu shots and is a no brainer (no pun intended) as to why there is an Alzheimers and Parkinsons epidemic.
Flu shots dont' work, anyway. They are based on junk science, greed, and last years viruses that have mutated long afterward. So, you get the flu, anyway... And for those who get the shots and don't get the flu.. Its because your immune system is still functioning, so you wouldn't get the flu anyway.
add antioxidants to your daily diet and that will certainly prove mind clearing for your future growth.... here's a great list for you to read and purchase;
http://1stvitality.co.uk/az/antioxidants...
your probably worrying about it to much because you think it might happen to you, you can make an appointment with your doctor if youre really worried about it but you can try and remember things about your past etc, it might help. im sorry if im not much of assistance. good luck
I don't know how hereditary it is, but I'll never get a flu shot! Heard of this last year, now I pick on one of my bosses because he's a regular flu shot guy: http://www.royalrife.com/flu_shots.html

Many times I walk from one room to another to retrieve something and forget what it was by the time I get there - it's a function of always thinking and having the intevening thoughts hide the original one that may be several items back in memory - it may be a function of the chemical transmitters in our brains deteriorating with age.
The memories are there (the memory of what was to be retrieved does come back) but the ability to access them as fast and efficiently as in younger days isn't.
My mother lived to 93 and had a little dementia - her father had full blown alzheimers. I exercise my brain all day every day, read a lot, play online card and math games and otherwise to a lot of math in my head all the time.
Maintain a positive attitude and check with your doctor (or other heath care facility) every year to see what's the latest in alzheimer's research - the blood test to determine it at the earliest stages in in development.
no you have you 45 you not old you take dr if get fathar 85 Disease

Topic Overview
What is Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive condition that affects areas of the brain involved in memory, intelligence, judgment, language, and behavior. It is the most common form of mental decline, or dementia, in older adults.
Alzheimer's disease is more severe than the mild memory loss that many people experience as they grow older. Alzheimer's disease also affects behavior, personality, the ability to think clearly, and the ability to carry out daily activities. Close family members usually notice symptoms first, although the person affected also may realize that something is wrong.
What causes Alzheimer's disease?
It is not clear why these changes in the brain occur, but research to discover the cause of Alzheimer's disease is ongoing. Although most people who develop Alzheimer's disease do not have a family history of the condition, you are at increased risk for the condition if a member of your family has it.
What are the symptoms?
Typical early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease include:
Memory loss.
Inability to use judgment and make decisions.
Confusion about what time and day it is.
Getting lost in familiar places.
Difficulty learning and remembering new information.
Difficulty expressing himself or herself.
Decreasing ability to perform everyday tasks like cooking a meal or paying bills.
As the disease progresses, these symptoms get worse. The person may also develop strange new behaviors and withdraw from family and friends. Hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia are common; some people may become verbally or physically aggressive or abusive. Eventually, the person may forget how to perform basic tasks such as eating, dressing, bathing, using the toilet, or getting up from a bed or chair and walking.
How is Alzheimer's disease diagnosed?
Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed after a careful medical history and physical examination, evaluation of the person's mental and functional status, and selected lab tests and imaging tests, such as CT and MRI scans, to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms. Imaging tests may identify subtle changes in structures of the brain that may relate to Alzheimer's disease, but they may not provide enough evidence for a diagnosis.
How is it treated?
While there is not yet a cure for Alzheimer's disease, much can be done to maintain quality of life and help the person stay active. Treatment focuses on several areas, including improving memory and daily functioning, dealing with new and unusual behaviors, and treating other conditions that commonly occur with Alzheimer's disease such as depression. Medications, including cholinesterase inhibitors or memantine, may temporarily improve memory and thinking problems. Other treatment includes making sure the home is safe and providing supportive care as the condition worsens.
Since the average life span has increased over the years, Alzheimer's disease is becoming a more common problem. If you are a caregiver for a spouse or parent with Alzheimer's disease, the demands can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining. With support, education, and planning, caregivers may find ways of making life easier for the person they take care of and for themselves.

I think that you may be a little over-sensitive to these signs because of the experience you had with your father. It couldn't have been easy, and I feel for the grieving that you must have experienced every day. You might be somewhat traumatized by your memories of it.
Everyone grows a little forgetful as we age. Unfortunate and unpleasant . . . but true.
You're doing the right thing by writing stuff down and using little tricks to help you remember. You are also correct in the fact that "if you don't use it, you lose it." You can't get Alzheimers by just being inactive or under-stimulated - but studies have shown that people who challenge themselves mentally have less of decline in mental acuity.
I'm 51 and I try to do crosswords, Sudoku, and other puzzles as often as I can. I also read a lot and have some hobbies like music, traveling, and scrapbooking. I work, but I am an optional employee so I only work occasionally. So, like you, I need to create my own mental stimulation.
Keep as busy as you can and I think that you will find that you feel better and more organized. Sometimes the more we have to do, the more we can do. If you continue to be worried about the Alzheimers please see your Dr. There are tests that can indicate the likelihood that you have it. Just knowing one way or another might be very comforting.
Good luck!
The brain! An amazingly weird/weirdly amazing organ.
Unless you have been in a coma for the last year and a half,
you have been using your brain for reading ,writing, helping
others,etc.
You have the courage to ask the question, so you are not at all a "little stupid"! Asking is one way we learn!
Make that appointmet with the doctor and good luck!
You don't sound stupid. I think it's quite normal for some people to start developing short term memory lapses as they age. Many people compensate by making lists and leaving notes to themselves.
One thing you did not mention was if you are on any medications presently. There are a number of medications that can effect your short term memory. Sleep deprivation can also be a culprit, so if you are not getting your 8 hours a night, that could be contributing.
It is true that if we don't "use it" we "lose it" so you should try to find something you like, such as crossword puzzles or another word game that you can play each day. Maybe even get some refresher books on subjects you enjoyed in school and brush up on some of them to keep your brain energized.
I believe early onset alzeimers is hereditary, but if your father died at 85, it doesn't sound like he had early onset. So I wouldn't be too concerned about that.
Other medical conditions can also play a role in STM problems, such as diabetes and mental illnesses. If you are otherwise healthy, that is another reason to not be too concerned and rather try to adapt to this change in your life.
But, I would go see a doctor to make sure everything is ok with you physically and neurologically. Better safe than sorry.
I don't think your question is "stupid" but,yes I would see a doctor.These days they know a little more about the disease to help prevent it. I know when I worked in the nursing homes they gave them fish oil supplements. Fish oil and Omega-3's are good for your memory. Good luck, I know that it is a scary disease to fear.
I own a sensitive immune system i.e. out of my control, I deem?
I gain sick and nautious from simple things at the present time. The marine is tear me down and in a minute the heavens have a unenthusiastic effect on me today.

DON'T LET IT GO ON FOR ANOTHER 4 MONTHS. Things are usually easier to treat if found rash.
There are closely of things that could basis these symptoms. I second the suggestion to see a rheumatologist.
I can't be sure if these symptoms are cause by an over-active immune system or not, but I can transmit you that in attendance is honest, recent quantifiable evidence that abundant Americans are imperfect contained by Vitamin D and that this contributes to undisputed diseases of over-immunity. Many researchers are presently suggesting that Americans return with a minimum of 1000 IUs of Vitamin D, surrounded by the D3 form. Many supplements are available that will provide this, and this smooth should be intensely out of danger. Both Nutrition Action Newsletter and Scientific American hold recent articles (in the November 2007 issues, I think) on this topic.
Deficiencies contained by Omega-3 fatty acids are also believed to organize to inflammation and immune over-responses. If you don't munch through fatty fish currently, you could try tally within a few servings a week. If you are a lacto-vegetarian, flax or algal grease provide Omega-3s. Algal grease provides DHA, a more alive Omega-3 than the ALA found contained by flax, but algal grease is harder to find and more costly. (I've see it underneath the first name "Neuromins.")
Hope you get the impression better soon!

What is AIDS?
Answers: it meanz to die not easy beside vengence
Acquired immune negative amount syndrome or acquire immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the specific destroy to the immune system cause by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) contained by humans,[1] and similar virus contained by other species (SIV, FIV, etc.). The unpaid stage of the condition leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV exist to decelerate the virus' progression, nearby is currently no prearranged cure. HIV, et al., are transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream next to a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.[2][3] This nouns can come within the form of anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and little one during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.
Most researchers believe that HIV originate contained by sub-Saharan Africa during the twentieth century;[4] it is in a minute a pandemic, beside an estimated 38.6 million populace immediately living near the disease worldwide.[5] As of January 2006, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that AIDS have kill more than 25 million relations since it be first predictable on June 5, 1981, making it one of the most destructive epidemics within record history. In 2005 alone, AIDS claimed an estimated 2.4–3.3 million lives, of which more than 570,000 be children.[5] A third of these death are occurring contained by sub-Saharan Africa, retarding financial growth and destroying human wealth. Antiretroviral treatment reduce both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available contained by adjectives countries.[6] HIV/AIDS stigma is more severe than that associated next to other life-threatening conditions and extends beyond the disease itself to providers and even volunteers involved next to the caution of society living next to HIV.
