Two people with severe vision loss due to a degenerative eye disease are able to read after embryonic stem cell treatment, researchers said Monday. The pair suffer from “wet” age-related macular degeneration, which can blur vision or cause a blind spot when abnormal blood vessels leak fluids into the eye, causing damage to a layer of… Continue reading Stem cell eye treatment safe, restores some vision: study

Things To Be Mindful Of n /Health/Life
Things to be Mindful Of—(of recent thoughts and happenings)
1. If you have gotten the flu or even so much as a cold, be mindful to change your toothbrush. Toothbrushes should be changed every 3 months at least. Make sure your children change their toothbrushes so as not to reintroduce organisms to reinfect.
2. If you have been sick with the flu or have more colds that what you usually would have.
You might want to add more vitamin C to your diet. If you are working or living around those who are sick, your immune system might be compromised.
3. Also, throw away your lipsticks if you have been sick with the flu or any oral infection.
4. Lock all medications that could be harmful to young children
5. Lock up all firearms from children and from those that it could be harmful to or be used to harm others. Firearms should be out of sight and use for the purpose of not killing people! (I support the banning of assault weapon and any unjust use of firearms.)
6. If you see danger, report it. We are all advocates for one another and especially for those who are unable to defend themselves.
7. Be mindful to check your expiration dates on foods, medicines and anything else that you use that have an expiration date. Reading labels are so very, very important; especially if you have allergies, like, peanuts and Penicillin. Let your doctor know all your allergies as well as anyone else involved in your healthcare and well being. At social gatherings, it is important that the Activity Planner know if you have specific food allergy Many candy labels will tell you if “this candy was make with other candies made with peanuts” .
Your child, if allergic to peanuts, should not eat that candy! Epi Pens should always be available to anyone who have a problem with an allergy that require one in the event that they have a reaction.
This is a start of other mindfulness!

Forgotten Antibiotic Could Save Humans from Superbugs
As superbugs are becoming more common worldwide, scientists are urgently trying to figure out ways to tackle the deadly issue. Instead of attempting to develop a new antibiotic, a team of researchers believe a drug discovered decades ago could be the answer. The drug, called octapepin, showed promising results in a study conducted on animal models.… Continue reading Forgotten Antibiotic Could Save Humans from Superbugs
A New Year For A New Beginning

Hello Readers,
How do you plan to make this the best year ever? Are you ready for a change in your life?
Many people never think about just what they want to do with the rest of their lives, but in the life we live, it changes whether we like it or not. We tend to be more reactive instead of proactive.
For an instance, climate change. Are you prepared for emergencies if they happen to occur? Do you plan to add time in your life for yourself each day? Do you
plan to save more money or to cut down on something?
What have you always wanted to do in life but never had the time or money to do so?
Well, it’s never too late to do many of the things you’ve always dreamed about.
By making a plan, you can focus on one or two things at a time and execute them into your schedule. If you think you don’t have time, just make time. It is your life.
Journaling have always been one of my practice to keep up with what is important to me. Keeping notes on what you have done in your day can alleviate anxiety in your life. Even if you skip a few days, you know that to have started the journaling process, you are on your way to having that relationship with “you” to have some control of your path to change.
So, you can make journaling a part of your routine and pick the best time to do so.
I believe the best time is when you have settled down in the evening or morning if you are a night shift worker and write down your accomplishments and plans for tomorrow.
You will find that you will get more done and move forward to having a joyous life.
Things don’t really stay the same. Even when you are not where you want to be, you can be hopeful for a change by doing what it takes to feel more secure in your life.
You can make great changes in your life by doing something that move you forward.
Thinking more positive is a start to a fuller life as well as deciding what exactly you want out of life. You “can” make the changes today for a better tomorrow.

How to Deal With Seasonal Pollen Allergies
Pollen Allergies
It look like the pollen season is here and if you are affected with this type of allergy, you can be prepared and get through this period.
Some of the signs and symptoms of allergy to pollen are sneezing, wheezing, redden eyes, itchy, watery eyes, ,nasal congestions, runny nose coughing, swollen lips, hives and more.
One, you can take your allergy medication before you go out or if you open your windows.
Always take your medications with you and follow directions.
Find out from your weather report what the pollen is. If it has rained, likely the pollen count will be down and so you might not have to take the medications around the clock. If it is windy outside, be sure the pollen is more saturated in the air.
You can open your windows early in the morning to let in the fresh air and be sure to close them after an hour and before you leave the house, if it is early in the morning or late evening.
Being exposed to some pollen can build up your tolerance to symptoms of pollen allergy I believe. I notice that the symptoms of my own allergy to pollen is lessen each year.
Clean your car of any pollen residue. Pollen can easily get into your car as you enter and exit.
If you work outside and you know someone in your family is allergic to pollen make sure your separate your clothes from regular wash.
If your indoor dog or other pets go outside, you might shower or bath them before they enter the house. You can also use a blow dryer set on cool to remove some of the pollen.
Wear a mask if you are supper sensitive to pollen.
Always consult your doctor before taking over the counter medications and do visit an allergists to get the best treatment and information concerning your allergies.
Dust frequently your home and car dashboard where pollen residue can rest.
Take your shoes off at the door and place them in a plastic bag and even leave them outside. You can place slippers by the door to wear when in the house.
Rake and sweep Pollen from your door. Wear a mask when doing so. You can waterhose down some areas of your home patio to remove the pollen.
If working on your lawn, wash your work clothes right away or place them into a plastic bag and into an area where traffic is not heavy in your home.
Don’t let the pollen allergy stop you for living a normal life. If you plan ahead, you can get through this season without all of the symptoms of allergy discomfort and breath with ease. You can even take a walk in the park and enjoy nature.
Always consult your doctor before taking over-the-counter medications and let him/her know if you are taking them or before you take them. Many medication are contraindicated when taking other medications. Your primary doctor will write a consultation with an allergists when symptoms are not improved.
Write down what works for you. if you are allergic to any medication, always mention this to your doctor so that it will be on your medical record.

Health care is important to everyone. Affordable health insurance is not really on the platform for many people still.
High deductible, high premiums, and just no funds for even the basis is not affordable health insurance. There are many great nations who do offer universal health insurance. Countries like England, France, Canada and a host of other countries.
