HEALTH AND WELLNESS

                                                The doctor wanted to check the pressure in my eyes, a procedure that required him to touch my eyeball with an instrument. I knew what was going to happen. It always does. It is the same when a nurse uses a needle to extract blood. Sometimes just talking about injuries has the same effect. –I faint. According to a British report some 3 percent of us often faint when we are in one of the aforementioned specific situations. If you are a fellow sufferer, you may have tried in vain to stop yourself from fainting. You might have tried walking to the bathroom to avoid fainting in public. But that is not a good idea. You might faint suddenly on the way and injure yourself. After experiencing this reaction so many times. I decided to find out what causes it. After talking to a handful of doctor and checking a few books. I found that such episode is called a VASOVAGAL reaction. “Vasovagal” refers to the action upon the bloo

                         In today’s world, it is easy to get caught up in the perplexed, mixed vibrations of our tumultuous times. Inner peace is often interrupted, and emotional balance can become difficult to find. All of us, at one time or another have been annoyed by external conditions and may have spoken harshly or angrily to another person. In most situations, this is a reaction of the moment, since those angry words were issued spontaneously without thought, and are not necessarily so much a reflection upon the subject of their delivery as they are upon the speaker’s conflict within his own inner self in attempting to maintain peace and harmony. But what of those words which are premeditated and consciously issued? Are they carefully thought out in consideration of the other person’s feelings? Are they enlightening and sharing, or ignorant and self-serving? Do they create harmony or discord? Are they words of true understanding or are they the product of gossip

Dowsing is potentially useful in getting answers to questions. In this application, a considerable amount of preparatory work is required in practicing with the dowsing device, whether it be the traditional forked tree branch, an L-rod, a pendulum, or any device in order to establish a clearly defined and unambiguous response for “yes,” and some other equally definite response for “no.” Having developed this rapport with the dowsing instrument, the question for which an answer is sought must be posed very precisely and unambiguously in a format for which the only appropriate answer is either yes or no. Answers involving only numbers [such a date] can be ascertained by the appropriate number of dowsing device responses, such as the swings of a pendulum. However, most operators prefer to approach number answers by querying in a way such as this: “Was the date of … earlier than …?.” The next question is of the identical format, but the queried date is increased or decrea

                                                                                                                             INTRODUCTION During the past several centuries much has been said, but little has been understood, about the art of dowsing. The objective of this article is to offer a rational, albeit rudimentary, hypothesis for the mechanism by which dowsing might work, and, from this vantage point, to suggest some practical applications and voice some timely cautious regarding possible undesirable consequences of its use.                                                        THE SCIENCE OF DOWSING Notwithstanding the scientific establishment’s vehement ridicule of “water witching” and other forms of dowsing, the fact that these techniques work is attested to by their sustained and widespread use by police departments, other governmental agencies, institutions, and private individuals. Moreover, it is

                                      SCIENTISTS in Brazil’s Institute of Technological Research have discovered a new species of bacteria capable of converting sugar into plastic. Previously discovered species digest and convert sugar only after it has been broken down into smaller molecules, but the great potential of this [newly discovered bacterium] lies in its ability to metabolize sugar directly. When overfed, the bacteria use the extra sugar to manufacture minutes grains of biodegradable by using a solvent. According to the researchers, one kilogram [2.2 pounds] of plastic can be obtained from three kilograms [6.6 pounds] of sugar.
