Olive oil

Suggest that you can include olive oil in your diet, my also offer benefits in terms of colon cancer prevention, and protection against Heart Desease
Olive oil and heart disease
Studies have shown that people who consumed 25 milliliters (mL) - about 2 tablespoons - of virgin olive oil daily for 1 week showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood.(4)

But while all types of olive oil are sources of monounsaturated fat, EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil, from the first pressing of the olives, contains higher levels of antioxidants, particularly vitamin E and phenols, because it is less processed.

Olive oil is clearly one of the good oils, one of the healing fats. Most people do quite well with it since it does not upset the critical omega 6 to omega 3 ratio and most of the fatty acids in olive oil are actually an omega-9 oil which is monounsaturated.

Olive oil and colon cancer
Spanish researchers suggest that including olive oil in your diet may also offer benefits in terms of colon cancer prevention (5). Their study results showed that rats fed diet supplemented with olive oil had a lower risk of colon cancer than those fed safflower oil-supplemented diets. In fact, the rats that received olive oil had colon cancer rates almost as low as those fed fish oil, which several studies have already linked to a reduction in colon cancer risk.

Fabulous Day

Another fabulous day with a handful of work. Yeah! Loads of work waiting for me to be done, though I am busy planning for the holiday. Christmas is very much approaching, my friend and I planning to have a wonderful get together party in my flat. A simple party would be great with our favorite food serve in the table. Being an expat is not easy, far from love one, parents and relatives is far from what we expect to celebrate a happy holiday. So no other choice but to celebrate with friends would be a better idea.

Happy holiday everyone!!!

Life of an Expariate

Sometimes life in the other country are difficult, you don't know who your real friends are. I believe in the saying that goes like this. (Friend did in the time of need). Like what Ive experience in my last apartment. This person is one of my nearest skin who is my so land lord because he is the one sign a contract in the apartment.

He is good to me in the last how many months. But when he plan to go for holiday in our native land (Philippines) he ask if I can lend him money, how do I know if he is difficult on paying debts. The worst thing is he told some of our flatmates that he is mad at me because I don't lend him the money he asked. That is the month of December year 2007. I told him before he left the country that I can't lend him the money because it's DECEMBER and my Family need also and that begins the story that he is not talking to even though we bomb on the door way.

And when he came back here in abroad Month of January 2008 still he is ignoring me and I knew the reason. In the month of February 3,2008 he approach me and I was shock, and the reason why is, he wants again to barrow money and he promise to pay it for only 1 week with the worth of 2 hundred dollar's Ive waited for week because I need money, but then that day came he ask for fallowing again because of some reason. To make it short Ive waited for more than a year but still he dint pay me back, so what I did is I didn't pay my rent and told him that he will be the one to pay it for me.

So until then he never talk to me again. Almost a year without any communications. If he is happy for that for what he did I can't do anything. Life is too short and everything are just temporary in this world.

What is Tourette syndrome?
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a n inherited neuropsyhiatric disorder (TS) defined as part of spectrum of tic disorder which includes transient and chronictics.

The early symptoms of TS are almost always noticed first in childhood, with the average onset between the ages of 7 and 10 years. TS occurs in people from all ethnic groups; males are affected about three to four times more often than females. It is estimated that 200,000 Americans have the most severe form of TS, and as many as one in 100 exhibit Milder and less complex symptoms such as chronic motor or vocal Tics or transient Tics of childhood. Although TS can be a chronic condition with symptoms lasting a lifetime, most people with the condition experience their worst symptoms in their early teens, with improvement occurring in the late teens and continuing into Adulthood.

What are the symptoms?
Tics are classified as either simple or complex. Simple Motor Tics are Sudden, brief, repetitive movements that Involve a limited number of muscle groups. Some of the more common simple Blinking Tics include eye and other vision Irregularities, facial Grimacing, Shoulder Shrugging, and head or shoulder Jerking. Simple Vocalizations might include repetitive throat-clearing, sniffing, or Grunting sounds. Complex Tics are distinct, Coordinated patterns of movements involving several muscle groups. Complex Motor Tics might include facial Grimacing combined with a head twist and a shoulder shrug. Other complex motor Tics may actually appear Purposeful, including sniffing or touching objects, Hopping, jumping, bending, or twisting. Simple vocal Tics may include throat-clearing, sniffing / snorting, Grunting, or Barking. More complex vocal Tics include words or phrases. Perhaps the most dramatic and disabling Tics include motor movements that result in self-harm such as Punching oneself in the face or vocal Tics including Coprolalia (Uttering swear words) or Echolalia (repeating the words or phrases of others). Some Tics are preceded by an urge or sensation in the affected muscle group, commonly called a Premonitory urge. Some with TS will describe a need to complete a Tic in a certain way or a certain number of times in order to Relieve the urge or decrease the sensation.

Tics are often worse with excitement or anxiety and better during calm, focused activities. Certain physical experiences can trigger or Worsen Tics, for example tight Collars may trigger neck Tics, or hearing another person Sniff or throat-clear may trigger similar sounds. Tics do not go away during sleep but are often Significantly Diminished.


What is the course of TS?
Tics come and go over time, Varying in type, frequency, location, and severity. The first symptoms usually occur in the head and neck area and may progress to include muscles of the trunk and Extremities. Motor Tics generally Precede the development of vocal Tics and simple Tics Tics often Precede complex. Most patients experience peak Tic severity before the mid-teen years with improvement for the Majority of patients in the late teen years and early Adulthood. Approximately 10 percent of those affected have a progressive or disabling course that lasts into Adulthood.


Can people with TS control their Tics?
Although the symptoms of TS are Involuntary, some people can sometimes Suppress, camouflage, or otherwise manage their Tics in an effort to Minimize their impact on functioning. However, people with TS often report a substantial buildup in tension when suppressing their Tics to the point where they feel that the Tic must be expressed. Tics in response to an environmental trigger can appear to be Voluntary or Purposeful but are not.

What causes TS?
Although the cause of TS is unknown, current research points to abnormalities in certain brain regions (including the Basal ganglia, Frontal Lobes, and cortex), the circuits that interconnect these regions, and the Neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, and Norepinephrine) responsible for communication among nerve cells. Given the often complex presentation of TS, the cause of the disorder is likely to be equally complex.

What disorders are associated with TS?
Many with TS experience additional problems including Neurobehavioral Inattention; Hyperactivity and Impulsivity (attention deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-ADHD) and related problems with reading, writing, and arithmetic; and Obsessive-compulsive symptoms such as intrusive thoughts / worries and repetitive Behaviors. For example, worries about dirt and Germs may be associated with repetitive hand-washing, and concerns about bad things happening may be associated with Ritualistic Behaviors such as counting, repeating, or ordering and Arranging. People with TS have also reported problems with depression or anxiety disorders, as well as other difficulties with living, that may or may not be directly related to TS. Given the range of potential complications, people with TS are best served by receiving medical care that provides a comprehensive treatment plan.

How is TS Diagnosed?
TS is a diagnosis that doctors make after Verifying that the patient has had both motor and vocal Tics for at least 1 year. The existence of other Neurological or Psychiatric conditions[1] can also help doctors arrive at a diagnosis. Common Tics are not often misdiagnosed by Knowledgeable Clinicians. But Atypical symptoms or Atypical presentation (for example, onset of symptoms in Adulthood) may require specific specialty expertise for diagnosis. There are no blood or laboratory tests needed for diagnosis, but neuroimaging studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Computerized tomography (CT), and Electroencephalogram (EEG) scans, or certain blood tests may be used to rule out other conditions that might be confused with TS.

It is not uncommon for patients to obtain a formal diagnosis of TS only after symptoms have been present for some time. The reasons for this are many. For families and physicians Unfamiliar with TS, mild and even moderate Tic symptoms may be considered Inconsequential, part of a Developmental phase, or the result of another condition. For example, parents may think that eye Blinking is related to vision problems or that sniffing is related to seasonal allergies. Many patients are self-Diagnosed after they, their parents, other relatives, or friends read or hear about TS from others.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

[1] These include childhood-onset Involuntary movement disorders such as Dystonia, Or Psychiatric disorders Characterized by repetitive Behaviors / movements (for example, Stereotypic Behaviors in autism and compulsive Behaviors in Obsessive-compulsive disorder - OCD).


How is TS treated?
Because Tic symptoms do not often cause impairment, the Majority of people with TS require no medication for Tic suppression. However, effective medications are available for those whose symptoms Interfere with functioning. Neuroleptics are the most consistently useful medications for Tic suppression; a number are available but some are more effective than others (for example, Haloperidol and Pimozide). Unfortunately, there is no one medication that is helpful to all people with TS, nor does any medication completely Eliminate symptoms. In addition, all medications have side effects. Most Neuroleptic side effects can be managed by Initiating treatment slowly and reducing the dose when side effects occur. The most common side effects of Neuroleptics include Sedation, weight gain, and cognitive Dulling. Neurological side effects such as Tremor, Dystonic reactions (twisting movements or Postures), Parkinsonian-like symptoms, and other Dyskinetic (Involuntary) movements are less common and are Readily managed with dose reduction. Discontinuing Neuroleptics after long-term use must be done slowly to avoid rebound increases in withdrawal Tics and Dyskinesias. One form of withdrawal dyskinesia called Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder distinct from TS that may result from the chronic use of Neuroleptics. The risk of this side effect can be reduced by using lower doses of Neuroleptics for shorter periods of time.

Other medications may also be useful for reducing Tic severity, but most have not been as extensively Studied or shown to be as consistently useful as Neuroleptics. Additional medications with Demonstrated efficacy include alpha-Adrenergic Agonists such as Clonidine and Guanfacine. These medications are used primarily for hypertension but are also used in the treatment of Tics. The most common side effect from these medications that their use is Precludes Sedation.

Effective medications are also available to treat some of the associated Neurobehavioral disorders that can occur in patients with TS. Recent research shows that Stimulant medications such as Methylphenidate and Dextroamphetamine can Lessen ADHD symptoms in people with TS without causing Tics to become more severe. However, The product labeling for Stimulants currently Contraindicates the use of these drugs in children with Tics / TS and those with a family history of Tics. Scientists hope that future studies will include a thorough discussion of the risks and benefits of Stimulants in those with TS or a family history of TS and will clarify this issue. For Obsessive-compulsive symptoms that Significantly Disrupt daily functioning, the serotonin reuptake inhibitors (Clomipramine , fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, paroxetine, and sertraline) have been Proven effective in some patients.

Psychotherapy may also be helpful. Although psychological problems do not cause TS, such problems may result from TS. Psychotherapy can help the person with TS better Cope with the disorder and deal with the secondary social and emotional problems that sometimes occur. More recently, specific behavioral treatments that include awareness training and Competing response training, such as Voluntarily moving in response to a Premonitory urge, have shown effectiveness in small controlled trials. Larger and more Definitive NIH-Funded studies are underway.

Is TS inherited?
Evidence from twin and family studies suggests that TS is an inherited disorder. Although early family studies suggested an Autosomal dominant mode of inheritance (an Autosomal dominant disorder is one in which only one copy of the defective gene, inherited from one parent, is necessary to produce the disorder), more recent studies suggest that the pattern of inheritance is much more complex. Although there may be a few genes with substantial effects, it is also possible that many genes with smaller effects and environmental factors may play a role in the development of TS. Genetic studies also suggest that some forms of ADHD and OCD are genetically related to TS, but there is less evidence for a genetic relationship between TS and other Neurobehavioral problems that commonly co-occur with TS. It is important for families to understand that genetic Predisposition may not necessarily result in full-blown TS; instead, it may express itself as a Milder Tic disorder or as Obsessive-compulsive Behaviors. It is also possible that the gene-carrying offspring will not develop any TS symptoms.

The sex of the person also plays an important role in TS gene expression. At-risk males are more likely to have Tics and at-risk females are more likely to have Obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

People with TS may have genetic risks for other Neurobehavioral disorders such as depression or Substance abuse. Genetic counseling of individuals with TS should include a full review of all potentially Hereditary conditions in the family.

What is the Prognosis?
Although there is no cure for TS, the condition in many individuals improves in the late teens and early 20s. As a result, some may actually become Symptom-free or no longer need medication for Tic suppression. Although the disorder is generally lifelong and chronic, it is not a Degenerative condition. Individuals with TS have a normal life Expectancy. TS does not Impair intelligence. Although Tic symptoms tend to decrease with age, it is possible that Neurobehavioral disorders such as depression, panic attacks, mood Swings, and Antisocial Behaviors can persist and cause impairment in adult life.

What is the best educational setting for children with TS?
Although students with TS often function well in the regular classroom, ADHD, learning disabilities, Obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and frequent Tics can greatly Interfere with academic performance or social adjustment. After a comprehensive assessment, students should be placed in an educational setting that meets their individual needs. Students may require tutoring, smaller or special classes, and in some cases special schools.

All students with TS need a Tolerant and compassionate setting that both encourages them to work to their full potential and is flexible enough to accommodate their special needs. This setting may include a private study area, exams outside the regular classroom, or even oral exams when the child's symptoms Interfere with his or her ability to write. Untimed testing reduces stress for students with TS.

What research is being done?
Within the Federal government, the leading supporter of research on TS and other Neurological disorders is the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The NINDS, a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is responsible for supporting and conducting research on the brain and central nervous system.

NINDS sponsors research on TS both in its laboratories at the NIH and through grants to major medical institutions across the country. The National Institute of Mental Health, the National Center for Research Resources, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders also support research of relevance to TS. And another component of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, funds professional education programs as well as TS research.

Knowledge about TS comes from studies across a number of medical and scientific Disciplines, including genetics, neuroimaging, Neuropathology, clinical trials (medication and non-medication), Epidemiology, Neurophysiology, Neuroimmunology, and descriptive / diagnostic clinical science.

Genetic studies. Currently, NIH-Funded investigators are conducting a variety of large-scale genetic studies. Rapid advances in the technology of gene finding will allow for Genome-wide screening approaches in TS, and finding a gene or genes for TS would be a major step toward understanding genetic risk factors. In addition, understanding the genetics of TS genes will strengthen clinical diagnosis, improve genetic counseling, lead to the Clarification of Pathophysiology, and provide clues for more effective therapies.

Neuroimaging studies. Within the past 5 years, advances in imaging technology and an increase in trained investigators have led to an increasing use of novel and powerful techniques to identify brain regions, circuitry, and Neurochemical factors important in TS and related conditions.

Neuropathology. Within the past 5 years, there has been an increase in the number and quality of donated Postmortem brains from TS patients available for research purposes. This increase, coupled with advances in Neuropathological techniques, has led to initial findings with Implications for neuroimaging studies and animal models of TS.

Clinical trials. A number of clinical trials in TS have recently been completed or are currently underway. These include studies of Stimulant treatment of ADHD in TS and behavioral treatments for reducing Tic severity in children and adults. Smaller trials of novel approaches to treatment such as dopamine Agonist and GABAergic medications also show promise.

Epidemiology and clinical science. Careful Epidemiological studies now estimate the Prevalence of TS to be substantially higher than previously thought with a Wider range of clinical severity. Furthermore, clinical studies are providing new findings regarding TS and co-existing conditions. Subtyping These include studies of TS and OCD, an examination of the link between ADHD and learning problems in children with TS, a new appreciation of sensory Tics, and the role of co-existing disorders in rage attacks. One of the most important and controversial areas of TS science involves the relationship between TS and Autoimmune brain injury associated with group A beta-Hemolytic Streptococcal infections or other infectious processes. There are a number of Epidemiological and clinical investigations currently underway in this area Intriguing.

Bad breath

At one time or another, most people have concerns about halitosis, also known as the dreaded "bad breath". Whether it's meeting new people or an intimate
relationship, our breath can be a big turn-off if we're not careful
So how do you know that your breath is less than pleasant, or downright appalling? Without being told, you can't be certain. The common methods used are to blow into your cupped hands and smell quickly.

Bad breath can also be caused by dry mouth (xerostomia), which occurs when the flow of saliva decreases. Saliva is necessary to cleanse the mouth and remove particles that may cause odor. Dry mouth may be caused by various medications, salivary gland problems or continuously breathing through the mouth. If you suffer from dry mouth, your dentist may prescribe anartificial saliva, or suggest using sugarless candy and increasing your fluid intake.

Tobacco products cause bad breath. If you use tobacco, ask your dentist for tips on kicking the habit.

Bad breath may be the sign of a medical disorder, such as a local infection in the respiratory tract, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment. If your dentist determines that your mouth is healthy, you may be referred to your family doctor or a specialist to determine the cause of bad breath.

Maintaining good oral health is essential to reducing bad breath. Schedule regular dental visits for a professional cleaning and checkup. If you think you have constant bad breath, keep a log of the foods you eat and make a list of medications you take. Some medications may play a role in creating mouth odors. Let your dentist know if you've had any surgery or illness since your last appointment.

Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to remove food debris and plaque. Brush your tongue, too. Once a day, use floss or an interdental cleaner to clean between teeth.

Mouthwashes are generally cosmetic and do not have a long-lasting effect on bad breath. If you must constantly use a breath freshener to hide unpleasant mouth odor, see your dentist. If you need extra help in controlling plaque, your dentist may recommend using a special antimicrobial mouth rinse. A fluoride mouth rinse, used along with brushing and flossing, can help prevent tooth decay.

The Dumagats tribes

The Dumagats, who are scattered over the east cost provinces of central luzon, still live a nomadic way of life.
Through the years, the dumagats lost much of the land they originally inhabited to lowland settlers and logging companies, forcing them into the deep forests of Sierra Madre Mountains. During the dry season Dumagats come down to the beach, carrying their house, a mere shelter from the sun and rain, with them.

Culture

The Dumagat people are of the Agta Negrito groups found in Luzon. In the past, these people lived in coastal areas of Aurora and Quezon provinces and were lords in their own domain. However, because of the coming of Filipino homesteaders into the Agta area they were pushed into the mountains, and dispersed in small groups.
Dumagats are semi-nomadic. They move from place to place in search of better habitation. Recently, they have learned to live permanent settlements. They are reported found scattered in different locations. They are also divided into six languages.

The Kabulowan are one of the subgroups of the Dumagat (also known as '"Baluga").
Dumagat families are generally simple nuclear family. They live in extended family groupings. If conflicts arise among themselves, they just move away.

In the past, men wore a cloth of g-string and the women wore wrap around skirts. Now, they wear used, machine sewed lowland clothes.

Economy

Economically, they are very poor. Their livelihood ranges from hunting and gathering to having gardens and raising coconuts. These days, hunting and gathering are greatly reduced due to depletion of forest resources caused by logging operations. Many of them now work as unskilled laborers for lowland farmers near their location. Most Dumagats are tied into a patron-client relationship with one or more lowlander families. In this relationship, the Dumagats gather rattan and trade it with the lowlander or they work for the lowlander. In turn, the lowlander gives them rice, tobacco, money, or other items. In many cases, Dumagats are abused, oppressed and are always on the losing end. Most of them are unable to determine the fair equivalent of goods being exchanged or services rendered. They depend on their relationship for their daily ration of food.

Politics

Within their culture, much of the behavior is governed by rules between types of kinsmen. The family itself is the organization that undertakes all roles. Their social control system is unstructured. If conflicts arise, they just move away some old people.

Religion

The Dumagats are animist. Practices and beliefs differ from person to person. Dumagat animism has less control over the people's daily lives. In addition, they have adopted some of the beliefs of their Christian neighbors. Now, they hold to a universal belief in a single God, maybe a result of Christian influence. Cultish groups are also working in the area.

Christianity

There has been a lot of mission work done in each of these Dumagat language groups.

Prayer points
1.Translated Scriptures. Pray for a wide distribution of the Dumagat bible portions to open the hearts of the Dumagats.
2.Pray that the Aeta believers as well as the Dumagat believers will take the responsibility to go ahead in the Christian groups with preaching and teaching the gospel - to reach other Negritos.
3.Praise God for the fruit of the faithful missionary efforts. Praise God for the Dumagat believers. Pray that the Holy Spirit will make them grow and remain in the Lord even after the missionaries have left.
4.Praise God for community aid projects done for the Dumagats. Praise God also that some of them have learned to live in permanent settlements facilitated by concerned groups. However, many agencies were unsuccessful in their attempts to help settle the Dumagats because their ways and means conflict with the Dumagat values and social organization. Pray that if anyone who wishes to help the Dumagats, assistance be given in a way that agrees with the values and present limitations of the Dumagat culture.
5.The future of the Dumagats looks bleak. Serious problems include drunkenness, chronic malnutrition, decimation of wild game, loss of land to lowland homesteaders and probably ethnic disintegration. Pray that God will show mercy to these people, providing help to meet their needs.
