Braces : Make a beautiful Smile


Looking beautiful and attractive is a dream that all humans dream about. When the entire world is looking beautiful, then each human being wants to look beautiful and feel good. Well, there are many advantages attached with good looks and one of them is that it instills a lot of confidence in the person. However, not many people are lucky and there are some defects in each one of us. In such situations, our concern should definitely be on the problem that we have and the remedies for these problems.

One of the major problems that can hinder a person from looking good is definitely a set of bad, misaligned and distorted teeth. Apart from making us look ugly and messed up, it definitely stops us from passing a smile to others. Moreover, many people also feel reluctant from going and meeting people and like to be left alone. This problem, when aggravated can result in the loss of self-confidence. Therefore, this problem should also be well treated and this can be treated with the help of clear braces.

Clear braces are made out of a invisible material and this helps the wearer because nobody can make out that the wearer has put on a pair of braces on his or her teeth. Initially, there was the trend of wearing metal braces to fight the problem of misaligned or distorted teeth. With age, metal braces were replaced by clear braces or invisalign braces. Well, metal braces were always a no-no because apart from making the person loon unattractive, they also created many problems. Being made out of metal, these braces were very uncomfortable to wear, the wearer would always feel uncomfortable and definitely, they did hurt. However, with the introduction of clear braces, the world of braces took a new turn. Today, people of all age group feel comfortable wearing these invisalign braces.

The way these braces are applied is definitely different from that of the traditional metal ones. Although these clear ones are made out of a mixture of plastic and metal, the metal component is just not visible and no one gets to know that someone has put on a pair of braces on his or her teeth. However, like the traditional ones, these plastic ones also need to be opened on a regular basis before any meal. This helps the braces from having any problem. Moreover, they need to be cleaned also on a regular basis, so that no residue of food or any other particle is left on in the braces. The advantages or benefits attached with them is that one can take out these whenever they do not feel like wearing them anymore. Moreover, these ones help to align the misaligned or distorted teeth at a much faster pace. Therefore, people prefer wearing these braces.

Therefore, if you are suffering from misaligned or distorted teeth, then you need not worry about them anymore. Now you can feel confident, at the same time, look beautiful and pass a beautiful smile at others with the help of clear braces. Therefore, go ahead; take an appointment with a dentist and come back smiling with glory.

CANCER - INVALUABLE FACTS

  • Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
  • Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
  • When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
  • When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
  • To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
  • Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
  • Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
  • Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumour size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumour destruction.
  • When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
  • Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

Infestation of Larvae in Human Breast

Infestation of Larvae in Human Breast

Email below is just an urban legend. The postive side of this urban legend.

"please make sure you iron your undergarments before you wear them and make sure that your clothes are ironed when they are dry and not damp."

Our advice :-

Wash your bras and underwear after buying before wearing and iron them before wearing them.

---

Fwd: Wash before Wearing!

It is horrible. Guys tell your wife, sisters, girlfriends, and girl cousins wash bra before wearing.

ALL PLEASE WASH ALL BRAS, UNDERWEAR WHEN YOU BUY BEFORE WEARING THEM. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT PARASITE IS IN OUR CLOTHES WHEN WE BUY THEM. FORWARD TO EVERYBODY YOU KNOW. LET ME FORE WARN YOU THIS IS SO SQUIMISH, I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS CRAWLING ALL OVER ME EVEN AS I SEND THIS TO YOU. BE AWARE. IT IS SO GROTESQUE. PLEASE WASH YOUR UNDERWEAR BEFORE WEARING. PREFERABLY IN BOILING HOT WATER.

This is not for the weak; I have never seen anything like this. Read the article first before looking at the picture and film. This looks horrible. Oh my God!!!!!!! Ladies this could happen to you and Guys this could happen to your wife, girlfriend, partner so please BEWARE,and also warn others.

It has been reported that this is happening in Zimbabwe as well, please make sure you iron your undergarments before you wear them and make sure that your clothes are ironed when they are dry and not damp. The picture is horrible but I felt that I should share with you. After anthropologist Susan McKinley came back home from an expedition in South America, she noticed a very strange rash on her left breast. Nobody knew what it was and she quickly dismissed it believing that the holes would leave in time. Upon her return she decided to see a doctor after she started developing intense pains. The doctor, not knowing the exact severity of the disease, gave her antibiotics and special creams. As time lapsed the pain did not subside and her left breast became more inflamed and started to bleed.

She decided to bandage her sores however as Susan's pain grew more intense she decided to seek help from a more certified doctor. Dr. Lynch could not diagnose the infection and told Susan to seek the aid of one of his colleagues who specialized in dermatology whom was sadly on vacation. She waited for two weeks and finally was able to react the dermatologist.

Sadly,a life changing event was about to unfold during her appointment.

To Miss McKinley's surprise, after she removed the bandages, they found larva growing and squirming within the pores and sores of her breast. Sometimes these wicked creatures would all together simultaneously move around into different crevices.

What she didn't know was that the holes were in fact, deeper than she had originally thought for these larvae were feeding off the fat, tissue, and even milk canals of her bosom.

Comments: This message has three distinct components:

1. The text, which appears to have been fabricated.
2. The image, which was almost certainly fabricated.
3. The video, which is authentic, though completely unrelated to the text and image.

The image first showed up on the Internet, uncaptioned, in June 2003. As snopes.com debunker David Mikkelson has demonstrated, it appears to be the product of combining elements from two separate images, one of a female breast and the other of a lotus seed pod.

The cautionary tale about anthropologist Susan McKinley and the larvae infestation she purportedly experienced in South America began circulating with the image in August 2003.

'Myiasis of the breast' is a real medical condition

The video - which is not only authentic but proves that larvae infestations of the breast, though extremely rare, can actually occur - was downloaded from the Web site of a medical journal and attached to the email in late 2005. It originally accompanied an article entitled "Furuncular Myiasis of the Breast Caused by the Larvae of the Tumbu Fly (Cordylobia Anthropophaga)." The case, which occurred in Nigeria, not South America, is described as follows:

We report a 70-year-old woman who presented with a week history of itchy multiple discharging sinuses of the right breast. The sinuses contained wriggling larvae of C. anthropophaga. Fourteen larvae were extracted from the breast and the sinuses healed quite well after the extraction.

Note well that although the particulars of the Susan McKinley email remain unsubstantiated, its anonymous author does know a thing or two about circumstances promoting furuncular myiasis of the breast. "Please make sure you iron your undergarments before you wear them and make sure that your clothes are ironed when they are dry and not damp," the email warns. Compare that to the journal article's explanation of how the 70-year-old patient in Nigeria became exposed: "She usually spreads her washed dresses on a line near the bush and does not iron them before wearing them."

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile liquid plant materials, known as essential oils (EOs), and other aromatic compounds from plants for the purpose of affecting a person's mood or health. Essential oils differ in chemical composition from other herbal products because the distillation process only recovers the lighter phytomolecules. For this reason essential oils are rich in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, as well as other VOC substances (esters, aromatic compounds, non-terpene hydrocarbons, some organic sulfides etc.).

Aromatherapy is a generic term that refers to any of the various traditions that make use of essential oils sometimes in combination with other alternative medical practices and spiritual beliefs. Popular use of these products include massaging products, medicine, or any topical application that incorporates the use of essential oils to their products.[1] It has a particularly Western currency and persuasion. Medical treatment involving aromatic compounds may exist outside of the West, but may or may not be included in the term 'aromatherapy'.
