		<description><![CDATA[ Nursing Home Compare is a web-based service provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to help consumers compare different nursing homes The information is based on findings by surveyors during the annual inspection performed in every nursing home that participates in the Medicare program The information can be obtained at the CMS Nursing Home Compare website When you access this information, however, keep in mind that it sometimes is more than a year old Also, facilities with excellent track records sometimes experience a problem on survey which may be written up in a manner that makes it appear widespread Likewise, a facility with only an average reputation may be able to get through survey without any major findings and appear better than it deserves The information is helpful, but needs to be validated with a site visit When you visit a facility, follow these ten steps to getting the information you need 1 Insist on touring the nursing unit where your loved one would likely be placed--don't just tour the lobby and dining room 2 Speak to the nurse in charge on the unit and ask how the unit is staffed on all three shifts 3 Observe residents, especially for how they are dressed and groomed, and whether or not there are any odors 4 Try to meet a family member and ask them how well the facility responds when there is a problem 5 Watch the residents as they are assisted with lunch or dinner--does there appear to be enough help? 6 Check if the facility allows 24 hour unannounced visiting by families--always a good sign that they have nothing to hide 7 Ask what rehabilitation services are available for long term residents, and not just for the short term rehabilitation patients 8 Look into what pastoral care services are available and whether the faith tradition of your family member is represented 9 Interview the medical director and ask whether intravenous fluids, antibiotics, etc are available to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for brief illnesses 10 Trust your instincts--would you feel comfortable living in the facility yourself]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I seldom have a sleepless night but remember an occasion when I had difficulty falling asleep Being awake when I should have been asleep was very annoying Since I work at night, the problem may have been too much sunlight coming in through the window when it was time to go to bed In the winter time the light isn't bright enough to bother me Light influences the production of a hormone that regulates when we get that sleepy feeling Too much light tends to make us wake up Unfortunately, light is only one of the factors that influences our ability to fall asleep Stress, caffeine use and a host of other factors can also contribute to a case of insomnia Insomnia can be described as the inability to fall asleep, the inability to stay asleep or waking up too early There are three categories of insomnia Chronic insomnia is long term and happens most nights for a month or longer Two to four weeks of poor sleep constitutes short-term insomnia and the transient form of insomnia lasts but a few nights Benzodiazepines could be prescribed to help one fall asleep on a short term basis Long term use of sleeping pills can become addictive Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine used for insomnia and anxiety relief Lorazepam also goes by the names Lorazepam Intensol, Loraz, Alzapam and Ativan In Canada you might find the names Nu-Loraz, Novo-Lorazepam or Apo-Lorazepam There are a number of side effects that a Lorazepam user might wish to be aware of Among them are clumsiness, drowsiness and dizziness Other possible side effects include, decreased sex drive, difficulty urinating, nausea, constipation or diarrhea There are more potential side effects, ask your pharmacist for more information The human body can be viewed as a system made up of other systems There are a number of systems that work together to make up the miracle of human life Whenever introducing an external force to one of these systems in the form of a drug, the potential to interfere with or cause problems in other systems always exists For this reason, you should work closely with your doctor or pharmacist when taking any medication If you are fortunate to have a doctor who is willing to entertain alternatives, this will broaden the arena of options that are available to you Keep in mind that many drugs are synthetic imitations of substances that occur in nature Sometimes a doctor who is willing to utilize these natural alternatives can be of great benefit Consider that this article is for information purposes only It is not intended to give advice It is also not intended suggest treatment, diagnosis or prevention of any health condition Consult your primary care physician for any health related issues you may be facing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ My name is David Wade, I am a manager in a property letting business, which involves renting space to businesses, but it was not always like this I have recently set up a web site aimed to provide pet owners with information and products to help other people have a happy life with their pets and it can be seen at http://wwwpurrviewcom In the summer of 1988 I suffered a breakdown caused by overwork and also personal problems with relationships To cut a long story short I lost my highly paid job in advertising and was admitted to a mental institution where I was placed on drugs to try and control my anxieties and delusions This method only served to increase my anxiety as the drugs gave me side effects that included short term memory loss, motor problems with my muscles and weight gain, all of which were not explained and in my state of mind at the time my confidence sank to absolute zero so that when released to a day hospital it was a daily effort just to get on a bus to the day hospital I had been brainwashed by the drugs and institution so that the outside world was a very scary place I am a large man of 15 Stone 6ft tall and yet the bus journey was so anxiety creating that in fine weather I would rather walk 5 miles to the day hospital to avoid the ride When not at the day hospital I spent my days at home with my Mother mostly in my bedroom playing games on the computer and only venturing out to collect my benefit once a week from the Post Office, a trip I dreaded every week Then I went "online" and found myself in a chat room talking to a man in Illinois USA who had suffered brain injury from a cycling accident and was paralysed down the whole of one side of his body He did not let this stop him and last I heard he had a high powered job in Digital Imaging and had bought himself a custom built van so he could drive himself around We started to exchange ideas and created web sites and showed each other how to create amazing things utilising the coding and tools available at that time The friendship I had with this man (Jay Enloe) gave me confidence and I started to venture into the real world again Thanks to my Father I got a job with another advertising company but I found that time had moved on and prospects were virtually nil for getting up the employment ladder In my time at this company I wanted to give my mother (who stood by me all this time) a holiday in the USA and we went in the autumn of 1991 We had a great time but unfortunately when I got back I began to get frustrated with my work situation and on top of that I had still no personal relationship although it seemed everyone else was asking my advice on their own relationships I had another breakdown and spent a few years in and out of mental institutions and day hospitals until one day I just decided I had had enough and broke free of the comfortable family home and bought a flat in the winter of the millennium year I spent a lonely couple of months there sometimes in the darkest nights contemplating ending it all, until one day I thought "I know what I need is some company!" and I went out to a cat rescue centre and found Jessie, a tortoiseshell cat so frightened and underweight she reminded me of myself It took weeks of love and patience to get Jessie to even use the cat flap to go for a pee but once she made the first step there was no stopping her She quickly gained weight and confidence and started to make the area around the flat her domain, beating up any other cat or even small dog that came near I thought at the time that as I had protected her so she was returning the favour Anyway the upshot of this tale is that thanks to Jessie I started to feel more confident myself and went out most nights to socialise at the local pub, never drinking more than 2 pints as I was still on a certain amount of medication It was on one of these nights that I met Elaine who is now my wife and her 3 cats We have had four years of marriage now and life has thrown so many things at us including the loss of my Stepson Christopher, threats and vandalism on our previous home due to all I can think is small minded people who are so prejudiced on anyone being slightly different to themselves and through all this I suffered another breakdown Well it's not surprising when you and your home is under attack, the first dead body you have seen in your life happens to be your stepson, and pressures from work seem to be mounting not dissipating Well that's the end of the sad story the moral of this story is that with Love and understanding you can get through anything and my way of thanking Jessie is to keep her happy and healthy for the rest of her life and I advise you to do the same for your pets or if you have no pets then do it for your loved ones as I try to do every day of my life Visit http://wwwpurrviewcom and maybe we can help you and your pet to a happier life You are free to publish this article in its entirety No editing of the body is permissible although font and colour changes to suit your media are allowed Copyright D R Wade 2006 http://wwwpurrviewcom ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ What is Alzheimer? The gray-haired old lady cannot wait to leave the building to search for her dad Unless watched, she will walk the streets in an effort to locate her father, who died 30 years ago Yes, she is afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, a condition so debilitating, it robs a patient not only of memory, sight and mobility, but even personality Alzheimer's disease is a physical illness that causes changes in the brain It is a form of dementia Dementia affects a person's memory, mood, and behavior Alzheimer's disease usually affects people over 65 A person with this disease has trouble remembering, speaking, learning, making judgments, and planning Some people feel restless and moody It may take many years for Alzheimer's disease to get worse People often do become more forgetful as they grow older However, Alzheimer's disease causes more than just memory loss Its symptoms can impact every part of a person's life Alzheimer's disease leads to changes in behavior, personality, and abilities Over time, people with the disease have trouble doing common daily activities, such as bathing or getting dressed The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease can be frustrating for a person with the disease Dealing with these symptoms can also be difficult for family members of the suffering patient It may help to understand that these changes are no one's fault They are part of the disease There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease and no way to slow the progression of the disease For some people in the early or middle stages of the disease, certain medications may alleviate some cognitive symptoms In addition, some medications may help control behavioral symptoms such as sleeplessness, agitation, wandering, anxiety, and depression These treatments are aimed at making the patient more comfortable However, scientists have identified the region of the brain responsible for long-term memory, bringing closer the development of treatments for Alzheimer's disease American researchers pinpointed a part of the brain - the anterior cingulate - that controls the storage and retrieval of distant recollections The breakthrough opens up a new field of research into ways to treat diseases, like Alzheimer's that affect the memory For more information, visit: http://wwwAlzheimersInfoHelpcom ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Attention Deficit Disorder is a complex condition that is not well understood at the present time by many clinicians and the general public New information is being discovered rapidly however Dr Amen is one of the pioneers in this field and this article is meant to summarize his work Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD) occur as a result of neurological dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex of the brain This is the newest part of our tri-brain system in evolutionary terms It is the part of our brain that performs executive functions The functions of this brain deal with 1) attention span, 2) perseverance, 3) judgment, 4) organization, 5) impulse control, 6) self-monitoring and supervision, 7) problem solving, 8) critical thinking, 9) forward thinking, 10) learning from experience, 11) ability to feel and express emotions, 12) interaction with the limbic system, and 13) empathy Whenever there is a problem with this part of the brain, a number of skills that many human beings take for granted would not be available in any optimal way The following are problems that develop when the prefrontal cortex is affected 1) Short attention span, 2) distractibility, 3) lack of perseverance, 4) impulse control problems, 5) hyperactivity, 6) chronic lateness and poor time management, 7) disorganization, 8) procrastination, 9) unavailability of emotions, 10) misperceptions, 11) poor judgment, 12) trouble learning from experience, 13) short-term memory loss, and 14) social and test anxiety The exact neurological problem with ADD is unknown at this time However SPECT scans, single photon emission computed tomography, which measures cerebral blood flow and metabolic activity patterns, has noted that when someone with ADD concentrates, their prefrontal lobe activity decreases significantly This essentially means that under stress and concentration someone with these disorders cannot bring to bear their full cognitive capacity It is theorized that our usual ability to screen out and attend to stimuli of our choice is impaired with these individuals I like to think of it as going to the mall during the summer It is too bright and there are too many people around, but it is not overwhelming However, at Christmas time after a couple of hours at the mall people are so over-stimulated that it is hard to find the car People with ADD feel this way almost all the time There are five recommended courses of treatment for someone with ADD or ADHD Physicians often give an antidepressant such as Wellbutrin and Strattera, which tends to calm the limbic system and increase dopamine, a neurotransmitter In my experience as a therapist, this can be helpful but stimulants, the second course, seem to do a better job Stimulants given in small doses, so the mood alteration is minimal, act in a paradoxical manner This means that instead of accelerating a person they help to focus and calm them while still allowing the prefrontal lobe to remain active They also seem to increase dopamine This neurotransmitter is negatively affected with people suffering from ADD The third regimen, a combination of an anti-depressant and a stimulant, seems to work best for most people suffering from most forms of ADD The fourth treatment consists of teaching relaxation, stress-management, organizational, and socializing skills This should always be included as part of treatment whether or not medication is used Another form of treatment is the naturopathic approach Due to my background I cannot adequately discuss this method, and as yet am not sufficiently familiar with the treatment to be able to measure its efficacy At the present time, supplements, vitamins and chiropractic care seem to be effective as an adjunct to stimulants There are numerous misconceptions about Attention Deficit Disorder and a lot of emotional fervor about the diagnosis It reminds me of the debate over Prozac several years ago or whether or not Alcoholism is a disease or a moral defect It is understandable that people worry about giving young children a mood-altering drug However, any time medication is considered as an approach, the physician needs to carefully assess both the costs the benefits and the severity of the problem Most medication difficulties with ADD result from mismanagement When the appropriate amount of medication is used with ADD the benefits are immense and the cost is minimal A person’s life changes dramatically for the better It is as if for the first time a person can think clearly and their self-esteem soars There is still a tendency in this country to feel that people need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps regardless of the severity of the problem They are often blamed for their own illness This happens a lot with ADD True ADHD with hyperactivity is rather easy to diagnose However, only in the last ten years was ADD inattentive type recognized This diagnosis is hard to spot and often is characterized by a general spacyness and inability to track conversations It also used to be common knowledge that children were the only ones to suffer from this disorder and that once they became 14 they grew out of it What is more common is that in the normal course of experimentation with drugs and alcohol a person with this disorder finds amphetamines and becomes addicted to them Almost the right drug, wrong dose! Most people do not grow out of the disease Interestingly enough, even with hard-core Methadrine addicts, if they are put on a small dose of Adderall, 20- 30 mg of sustained release 1-2 times a day, they thrive and it does not reactivate the addictive process Dr Daniel G Amen is one of the acknowledged leaders in the field for the study of Attention Deficit Disorder He has expanded the classifications of this condition within the last two years from the standard two types of Hyperactive and Inattentive by adding four more distinct types of ADD He has done this by exhaustive research and has been aided by the SPECT scan, which is a sophisticated brain scanning tool that measures and clearly shows what part of the brain is most active What is most impressive about his work is that he stresses the need for a multi-treatment approach This includes attention to diet, exercise, vitamins, supplements, traditional psychotropic drugs, and behavioral techniques In “Healing ADD” Dr Amen lists the six types of ADD as 1) Classic hyperactive, 2) Inattentive, 3) Over focused, 4) Temporal, 5) Limbic, and 6) Ring of Fire Each of these types has much in common, but also differences in symptoms and treatment All of the types of ADD have as their primary feature periodic impairment of the prefrontal cortex of the brain and dopamine involvement Classic ADD is characterized by both hyperactivity and inattentiveness It is usually quite easy to treat by a combination of a high protein diet, aerobic exercise, a stimulant such as Adderall or Ritalin, and possibly the supplement of L-Tyrosine Often an anti-depressant is used as well Inattentive ADD lacks the hyperactivity, but people who suffer from it have a difficult time focusing and are often very scattered As with the classic type the prefrontal cortex is involved The treatment for inattentive ADD is usually exactly the same as the classic type Overfocused ADD exhibits the same problems and symptoms of prefrontal cortex as with classic and inattentive ADD, but the difference is that the sufferer of over focused often cannot break away from a thought or behavior This is because the cingulate system of the brain is overactive and often locks a person into self-destructive, negative, or repetitive behavior Often a stimulant will cause temper problems if used alone Therefore, it is usually helpful to have the person take an anti-depressant first and only later to add the stimulant Another possible treatment is to use St Johns Wort, a natural herbal anti-depressant, but it is important not to use both a traditional and an herbal anti-depressant at the same time The other forms of treatment such as diet and exercise is the same as the first two types of ADD Temporal ADD is still characterized by problems with the prefrontal cortex, but the temporal area of the brain is often affected This could be from a previous head injury, but not necessarily All the symptoms remain the same, but often extreme bouts of anger are also included The treatment for this type is usually a stimulant and an anti-convulsant such as Depecote All other treatment is the same except the following supplements can be used: GABA, Ginkgo Biloba, or Vitamin E Limbic ADD is when the limbic area of the brain is also affected in addition to the prefrontal cortex This type of ADD has the symptoms of inattentive ADD, but a significant amount of depression is also present A stimulant and an anti-depressant are indicated Aerobic exercise is needed, but often a complex carbohydrate and protein mixed diet is indicated The following supplements are used: SAMe or L-tyrosine Ring of Fire ADD is a very disorganized and severe form of ADD that is a combination of all the other types The entire brain is lit up on a SPECT scan In addition to the standard treatment of a stimulant and an anti-depressant, an anti-psychotic like Respiridal is often called for Dietary and exercise treatment is the same as in inattentive type The following supplements are possibly needed: GABA or Omega-3 Other supplements that have been found helpful with ADD in general are Zinc, Flax seed oil, and Serephos Attention Deficit Disorder is a neurological dysfunction that has no known cure at the present time However, the good news is that effective treatment is available and following the protocol can improve how a person feels and functions more dramatically than many psychiatric conditions What I find so attractive about the work of Dr Amen is that he treats the whole person He stresses the need for appropriate psychotropic medication, but also believes that a clinician needs to pay attention to diet, exercise, and behavioral strategies to fully address ADD © 2003 Jef Gazley, MS, LMFT wwwasktheinternettherapistcom

		<description><![CDATA[ The body automatically functions, and we automatically take it for granted! We expect our body to keep going and not complain, however much we abuse it But it does complain, with headaches, backache, indigestion, colds, skin rashes: just a few of the minor warnings Whether you are running a home business, major corporation or a family if you relate to these 'mild' complaints you just may need to pay attention to protect your most important asset: your health, your ability to think clearly and your emotional strength Without paying attention to keeping yourself well, you may slip into more serious warnings of 'self-abuse' and progress to serious conditions like diabetes, heart disease and cancer A few simple changes can make all the difference to the long-term health of your body, the clarity of your thinking, the strength of your emotional well-being and the long-term viability of your self-propelled business! Food is fuel What you eat and drink provides your body with the fuel to carry out all the physical and mental activities that get you through each day, including breathing and blinking! Some foods, such as fruit and vegetables, provide excellent fuel, with lots of beneficial nutrients Other foods provide the body with poor quality fuel laced with undesirable chemicals, such as over-processed junk foods What percentage of your current diet is providing fuel-efficient, nutrient-rich food? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Long term care insurance is quickly becoming as important an asset as life insurance is Families without adequate coverage can face enormous expenses and financial loss—and more importantly, reduced quality care for their loved ones The costs associated with long term care are huge and rising daily And the chance that each of us will one day require some form of long term care is also increasing daily Long term care insurance protects your family's assets because the government will require you to deplete your own assets before stepping in with benefits A long term care insurance policy can cover much more than just a basic nursing home It may include rehabilitation units and home health care options as well And long term care insurance isn't just for the elderly either Almost twenty percent of the patients at my grandfather's rehabilitation nursing home are younger adults who have been incapacitated due to injury or serious illness Clearly disability insurance and life insurance aren't enough in the face of rising health care costs It is important that each of us protect our families with a long term care insurance policy Compare potential long term care insurance policies carefully by reading each provision thoroughly Then draw a spreadsheet where you can compare apples to apples when it comes to types and amounts of benefits offered Create a scenario where you would need extensive long term care for five years, then compare what the resulting benefits and expenditures would be at the end of the five years Sometimes a long term care insurance policy with a higher premium is a much better deal if it provides substantially more coverage When researching long term care insurance rates, it is important to get as many long term care insurance quotes from as many different sources as possible You may even get different prices for the same policy, so make sure to do your homework After collecting as many quotes as you feel appropriate, you then have the job of comparing the long term care insurance quotes Read the quotes and policies offered thoroughly, then decide which benefits are most important to you Eliminate the long term care insurance policies that don't adequately meet your anticipated needs Once you have narrowed down the candidates, create a spreadsheet so that you can compare costs and benefits of the long term care insurance quotes side-by-side Include columns for the premiums, co-pays, percentages paid by the insurance carrier and you, deductibles, and out of pocket maximums Once you've got all of the numbers plugged in, put together three or four likely scenarios For example, you may expect $20,000 of medical and nursing home care over a ten year period Make sure to vary costs and time frames, because the best cost for five years might be the worst for fifteen You may be surprised to find that long term care insurance that carries a cheaper premium actually provides better coverage over a long period of time But beware of real bargains In long term care insurance just like everything else in life, you usually get what you pay for To guard against poor service once the contracts are signed, contact a long term care provider, such as a nursing home, to find out how well your potential long term care insurance company responds to clients and how quickly and consistently they pay claims ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The human brain which is a true miracle of evolution is a delicate and sensitive instrument Its chemical balance plays a major part in how it can properly function Many of the substances found within the brain all work hand-in-hand for maximizing the brain's ability to function But this can only be achieved through the help of various vitamins and minerals that we need to take in order to keep a healthy and sound mind In fact research show that certain vitamins are very important to brain function as well as to help maintain the brain's good health Free radicals can cause serious damage in the brain Due to his, the brain's specialized functions that require some of the highest levels of oxygen in the body the brain is the most likely place wherein free radicals can cause a lot of damage to Free radical damage in the brain includes memory loss and the decrease of cognitive ability Some studies indicate that unchecked free radical damage may play a great role in Alzheimer's disease That makes antioxidant vitamins such as vitamins C and E as very important to the health and functioning of the brain These two vitamins when combination have been found to help prevent memory loss while recent studies have shown that they can even offer significant protection against Alzheimer's disease, as well as against certain types of age-related dementia Sufficient folic acid intake which is also a part of the Vitamin B Complex can also give a positive effect in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease The Vitamin B complex is also known as to be as essential part of the proper functioning of the brain Those lacking in these vitamins can suffer from various types of dementia such as confusion, short-term memory loss and certain types of mental illnesses Maintaining proper levels of Vitamin B complex nutrients can actually improve verbal memory Omega-3 fatty acids are important for helping build a good memory, as well as Phosphatidylserine or PS PS has been found to play a big role in the production of the chemicals that act as neurotransmitters which is how the brain communicates and affects the other parts of the body It also helps out in the improvement of one's memory Ginko bilboa is a supplement that has been found by some studies to offer protection against age-related memory loss While a recent study in Britain found that depriving the body of iron can actually reduce a person's IQ level In today's fast food culture which is caused by the rapid change of lifestyle poses to be a big threat to a person's nutrition Especially in the case of children who tend to grow up with very active parents who have no time to actually cook a well-balanced meal for them tends to have their nutrition easily neglected In order to fully meet their intellectual capacities children must meet the suggested daily intake levels of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients Drive through cuisine and prepackaged and over processed convenience foods simply cannot provide the nutrition that the brain really needs In order for a person to fully take advantage of his brain's capabilities, it is highly important that he or she takes very good care of it by following the specific amount of nutrients that are needed to nourish it as well as stay away from stress and other pressure induced activities that can be harmful to your health Proper nutrition can also be accompanied by nutrition supplements which in turn can help you meet the daily required amounts of vitamins and minerals that you might not be able to get from your choice of food ------------------------- Note: This article may be freely reproduced as long as the AUTHOR'S resource box at the bottom of this article is included and and all links must be Active/Linkable with no syntax changes ------------------------- ]]></description>
