			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Homeopathy is a treatment method that is based on the principle of similarity: similarity between the toxicological power of a substance and its healing power.</p>
<p>Substances that are used in large doses cause illness, while if used in very small doses (infinitesimal) cure symptoms similar to those they have caused.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.naturalhealthstrategies.com/images/prevencao-natural-da-dengue-01.jpg" alt="&lt;br /&gt; Homeopathy, a treatment option " width="272" height="280" />Homeopathy is also characterized by the individualization of treatment. Homeopathy For no diseases but sick, so treatment is always dependent on how the patient reacts.</p>
<p>&#8220;Homeopathy does not override conventional medicine (allopathy).<br />
- The Homeopathy Allopathy does not cancel. The treating physician determines that your patient need when acute or chronic.</p>
<p>THE MANUFACTURING:<br />
- Homeopathic medicines are <strong><a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/phytotherapy-or-herbal-medicine.htm">manufactured from substances of vegetable, mineral or animal</a></strong>.</p>
<p>The basic substance undergoes a number of dilutions-dynamic. The dilutions are then impregnated on granules or globules, most characteristic forms of homeopathic medicines. They can be prepared as well, as drops, tablets, ointments, etc..<span id="more-103"></span></p>
<p>- As in traditional medicines, the manufacture of homeopathic medicines is subject to strict controls.</p>
<p>- In general, the prospect of a drug indicates its composition and dosage to be used, namely its &#8220;instructions&#8221;. In Homeopathy it is not. A homeopathic remedy can be used in treating many different diseases. This is why there is no prospect in most homeopathic medicines.</p>
<p>Healing with Homeopathy is no more complicated than with any other treatment. You just need to respect some rules.</p>
<p>HOW IS IT ADMINISTERED?<br />
- Homeopathic medicines found in pharmacies. Usually occurs in the practical form of granules or globules. Without swallowing or chewing, left to dissolve under the tongue or 4 granules, once the contents of a tube-dose.</p>
<p>It is advisable to take them 15 minutes before or after meals. It is better to have no strong taste in the mouth at the time of taking them (coffee, mint, snuff, tea, etc.)..</p>
<p>- Homeopathy, since its inception, has proven its effectiveness. It is capable, by itself, to cure many chronic conditions and has rapid action in acute diseases (influenza, nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, colic, trauma, pain, menstrual disorders, etc.)</p>
<p>- It is often used in pediatrics</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">The phrase &#8220;this does not save or Chinese doctor&#8221; is the result of the successes in the performance of traditional herbal medicine made by Dr Cham Bom Bian of the city of Cardenas, Matanzas province, in the nineteenth century.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.tratamientosalternativos.com/medicina-alternativa/medicina-natural-hierbas.jpg" alt="&lt;br /&gt; Phytotherapy or herbal medicine" width="289" height="262" /><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/herbal-remedies-and-herbal-medicine-herbs.htm">Herbal medicine or phytotherapy</a></strong> is a therapeutic practice that different preparations of plants used to treat diseases. It is considered one of the first systems of healing and continuing today.</p>
<p>In Egypt since the 1300s B.C. and cultivated plants collected for medicinal purposes by the papyri of the time. A builder of temples and pyramids were given garlic to keep them healthy. Some papyri, such as Smith, account for more than 400 raw materials, both animal and plant for the treatment of disease.</p>
<p>In Babylon the king Mardukapaolidine II (772-710 BC) built a garden for growing medicinal plants for which he became famous.<span id="more-99"></span></p>
<p>In Greece figures as Aristotle and Hippocrates described the importance of herbal medicine. The latter, in his work Corpus Hippocraticum, linked to each disease a plant-based remedy. Erasios also referred Teofasto of botanical studies and the use of many plants.</p>
<p>During the Middle Ages, Municipality Dioscorides, in his Treatise on Materia Medica, listed more than 500 drugs of plant origin and the beneficial use of many of them.</p>
<p>Each region has different kinds of medicinal plants and applications that depend to a large extent on the cultural tradition.</p>
<p>Many modern medicines originate from plants used for therapeutic purposes. Among them mention may be quinine, extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree, aspirin, from willow bark and digoxin from the foxglove.</p>
<p>Herbal medicine uses whole plants whose extracts contain various constituents are mixed and not purified or isolated components. It ensures that herbal medicine preparations biochemical elements, working in groups, have a greater effect than when used separately and that significantly reduces toxicity.</p>
<p>During the nineteenth century with the development of chemistry and physics were isolated active principles of plants with great impact to the medical clinic. Thus were obtained the first chemically pure drugs: morphine and quinine.</p>
<p>Until then, the inaccuracy of the formulas plants had prevented the identification of aspects such as the minimum active dose, the safety margin of the substance and the median lethal dose.</p>
<p>In that sense, were increased risks of acute overdose or accidental poisoning in herbal medicine. So did the incidence of unexpected adverse reactions, because of any of the numerous compounds present in natural preparations.</p>
<p>Herbal remedies are derived from combination of herbs, flowers, leaves, bark and roots that are routinely taken as teas or tinctures, extracts in alcohol. They are also used by way of pills, capsules, ointments and compresses.</p>
<p>One current difficulty of herbal medicine is that many of their remedies are based on medicinal plants growing wild are endangered or scarce to be used by pharmaceutical companies.</p>

Based on their level of dependence</p>
<p>Hard Drugs<br />
The &#8220;hard&#8221; drugs are those that cause physical and psychological dependence, is altering the psychic and social behavior of addicts, as opium and its derivatives, alcohol, amphetamines and barbiturates.</p>
<p>Soft drugs<br />
That create only a psychological dependence, among which are the derivatives of hemp, such as hashish or marijuana, cocaine, lysergic acid, better known as LSD, as well as the snuff.</p>
<p>This division into &#8220;soft&#8221; and &#8220;hard&#8221; is questioned by many scholars of the subject and consider that it might be suggested to her that the &#8220;hard&#8221; are bad and therefore &#8220;soft&#8221; are good or less bad and is not well as from certain doses and in the form to be administered, the &#8220;soft&#8221; drugs can have harmful effects such as &#8220;hard&#8221;.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that as the dose of certain drugs called &#8220;soft&#8221; can have harmful effects such as those considered &#8220;hard&#8221;.<br />
Dependency is the state of the individual through which constantly creates and maintains a desire to ingest any substance. Please keep this wish by metabolic mechanisms and lack creates a withdrawal syndrome is called physical dependence.</p>
<p>If the dependency is maintained by psychosocial mechanisms, often defined as mental or psychological dependence.<br />
From a pharmacological standpoint, <strong><a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/">drugs are divided into narcotics</a></strong> <span id="more-93"></span>such as opium and its derivatives morphine, codeine and heroin, stimulants such as coffee, amphetamines, crack and cocaine, and hallucinogens such as LSD, mescaline, peyote, psilocybin mushrooms and cannabis derivatives, such as hashish.</p>

<p>In the HongKong outbreak in 1997, patients had symptoms of fever, sore throat, cough and, in some fatal cases, <strong><a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/avian-influenza.htm">severe respiratory distress</a></strong> secondary to viral pneumonia. Were affected previously healthy adults and children, and some people with chronic medical conditions.</p>
<p>Since then, the tests for all strains of flu virus that affects animals and humans are rapid and reliable. Many laboratories worldwide network of WHO flu have high security facilities and reagents as well as considerable experience, to carry out these tests.</p>
<p>It also offers Rapid bedside tests for the diagnosis of human influenza, although such tests lack the precision of the most comprehensive analysis currently required to understand the most recent cases and determine whether human infection is spreading, either directly from birds or from humans.<span id="more-88"></span></p>
<p>Antiviral drugs, some of which can be used both for the treatment and prevention, are clinically effective against virus strains in adults and children, otherwise healthy, but have some limitations. Some of these drugs are also expensive and supplies are limited.</p>
<p>The experience in the production of influenza vaccines is also considerable, especially considering that every year changes its composition to suit the changes in circulating virus due to antigenic drift. However, it takes at least four months to produce significant quantities of a new vaccine that protects against a new virus subtype.</p>

What is healthy lifestyle?</p>
<p>Healthy lifestyles are a global strategy, which is part of a modern trend in health is basically framed in disease prevention and health promotion perhaps the key moment of this trend or the beginning of this trend was 2004 and were generated by a declaration by the world health organization, to improve risk factors such as unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle, healthy lifestyles are related to eating and physical activity to prevent such diseases metabolic, cardiovascular, today we are facing an epidemic quoted or unquoted, an epidemic of these diseases and in whom obesity is perhaps more relevant is that since late figures of overweight and obesity in different countries the world both developed and developing towards increasing dangerously.</p>
<p>Recommendations of a balanced diet to maintain a healthy lifestyle:</p>
<p>There are several recommendations, but perhaps there are two points that are key to three points are key, the first is that in all societies there is a deficit in current consumption of <strong><a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/characteristics-of-good-health.htm">fruits and vegetables</a></strong> <span id="more-84"></span>in the diet of people, we know that fruits and vegetables are important to be consumed by all people of all ages primarily because they are rich in vitamins and trace elements in fiber, especially the latter case important to the prevention of certain diseases like some cancers, the second point is to be reduced to having a healthy diet of saturated fats present in foods that are derived or animal are basically very red meat and greasy foods, processed meats such as sausages and basically this is increase consumption of fish due to their wealth primarily in omega 3 fatty acids that are beneficial to health then it is recommended to increase to 2 servings of fish per week minimum.</p>

The main features of<strong> <a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/">good health</a></strong> are: cheerful, slim waist, straight teeth, strong body, clean and white, sharp appetite: the good digestive system, the ability to do hard work without exhaustion, a mood for work , the stamina to cope with hot weather and cold, the healthy parts of the body, soft skin, no dry face, no cracking of the lips, eyes bright, sharp sight, clean pink tongue, his broad chest, no stomach pumped, soft hair, deep breathing freely foul odor, dreamless sleep, sweating toilet, mouth restored, no spitting or coughing frequently, regular stool, sensation of morning freshness, speed, hot stomach, head cool, pink nails, health and so on.</p>

<p>Sitting with bent back is an invitation to early old age. If you press your left foot while facilitating your bowels, do not get piles and bowel movement gets easier.</p>
<p>The indistinct use of sunglasses is harmful to the eyes. It destroys the eye&#8217;s natural energy to face up to bright light.</p>
<p>Laughter: Laughter is the best medicine. It strengthens the stomach muscles, stimulates blood circulation and gives exercise to the body.</p>
<p>Indigestion is the cause of pain.</p>
<p>Treatment is not for the disease for the patient but not for the body but for the life force that keeps the body going. The light from the inner mind is reflected in the external world. Those who want the outside world must be better serving his inner soul.</p>
<p>The greatest healers are: Time, nature and patience.</p>

<p>What does it mean to be hungry?</p>
<p>When someone says &#8220;I&#8217;m hungry&#8221; can mean two things. The most common in our country wants simply mean that someone who has not eaten hungry. But in many countries around the world suffer from hunger is chronically hungry.</p>
<p>In the first case it is only a short-term hunger, while the second is a problem in the short, medium and long term, often related to the unavailability of food but also lack of access available food because of poverty.</p>
<p>Can <strong><a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/under-the-threat-of-hunger-and-disease.htm">hunger become a disease</a></strong>?</p>
<p>It is not by definition but may become so if we do not give your body the nutrients it needs. The common feeling of hunger is simply a response to your body when you are in need of food. It is a physiological response.<span id="more-41"></span></p>
<p>But it&#8217;s different when hunger is chronic. In these cases the body develops coping mechanisms in the short term but also problems in specific organs like the kidneys, intestine and finally the heart.</p>
<p>Lack of food leads to weight loss and therefore a loss of protein in the kidneys, liver, muscle, brain &#8230;The first phase of this pathological process is a chemical step involved in the endocrine system, producing, for example, abnormal levels of insulin or cortisone.</p>
<p>Usually within 48 hours develop ketones, acids that the body produces when you burn your glucose reserves. These reserves are usually burned in the first 24 hours without food. After you burn your fat and sugar at this time is when ketones are produced.</p>
<p>In the third phase is when you go really in a nutritional deficit. So far you&#8217;ve burned your glucose, then your fat and now is when you start to burn your protein, because amino acids are created by the tissue and are now beginning to be burned and rusted, so you start to lose your kidneys, liver, muscles, brain &#8230; at this time your immune system stops working properly.</p>
<p>Is this a reversible process or a state of malnutrition drag consequences in the future?</p>
<p>This is an interesting question. There is no doubt that<strong> </strong>malnutrition in early life<strong> </strong>and childhood has an impact on intellectual development when you are young.</p>
<p>Recent studies demonstrate the strong impact of healthy food in intelligence and psychosocial behavior when you are young.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that malnutrition and other forms of malnutrition such as iron deficiency involve irreversible intellectual damage.</p>

<p>Sources from the World Health Organization (WHO) warned of the rapid emergence of epidemics of cholera and malaria among the refugees, who remain in precarious conditions and their number is greater than hitherto had been brought.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://al.godsdirectcontact.org/your_food/images/somalian-famine-victims.jpg" alt="&lt;br /&gt; Under The Threat of Hunger and Disease " width="342" height="236" /></p>
<p>The range of aid agencies has been extended north of the worst affected regions, the valleys of the Limpopo and Save rivers to reach downtown areas of the country where famine has also emerged.</p>
<p>The crops and most of the cattle have been lost in the provinces of Gaza and Inhamban, which according to unconfirmed reports, raise a million and half the number of those affected by the disaster.<span id="more-35"></span></p>
<p>Sixty helicopters and planes from South Africa, Germany and France, among others, have initiated the launch of bags of food to help ease the situation of the population lacks safe drinking water.</p>
<p>President Joachim Chissano said that the people affected by flooding will have to be fed by public assistance for at least 10 months until they can plant and harvest new crops.</p>
<p>Some 250,000 people crowded into 64 camps are poorly equipped, and aid organizations have warned already that are running out of drinking water.</p>
<p>The WHO spokesman in Maputo, Carlos Tiny, expected in the coming days have seen a sharp increase in outbreaks of typhus and other diseases that occur in refugee centers in the cities of Xai-Xai and Choku.</p>
<p>In the camps mounted by aid organizations have started mass vaccination campaigns to prevent the spread of diseases to the poor sanitary conditions.</p>

<p>There are still some things that we know about HIV and AIDS.</p>
<p>For example, do not really know why it is that HIV and AIDS are both so common in some African countries but not in Europe or America, although we do have some theories.</p>
<p>Factors that may contribute include the much higher prevalence of <a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/what-is-aids.htm">sexually transmitted diseases</a> not covered in Africa (which usually increases the likelihood of HIV transmission) and, quite possibly, differences in HIV subtypes.</p>
<p>Also, people who have a poorer general health (including those with malaria or tuberculosis) are more likely to have higher amounts of HIV in their body fluids, making them more likely to transmit the virus.<span id="more-29"></span></p>
<p>The concentration of an infectious disease in particular groups is not unusual. Hepatitis B is transmitted by many of the same ways that HIV and in Western countries has the same risk groups.</p>
<p>Hepatitis C (which is mainly transmitted via blood) is mainly confined to intravenous drug users, and the recent increases in syphilis cases (which is usually transmitted through sexual contact) have been spurred by outbreaks in groups of men who have sex with men.</p>
<p>Surveillance statistics from all across the Western world show that AIDS is becoming increasingly common outside the traditional risk groups, following similar trends in HIV cases.</p>
<p>In 2003, about a third of AIDS cases diagnosed in the United States, and two thirds of those in women occurred among persons not using drugs.138 heterosexual Epidemiological evidence for sexual transmission of HIV from male to female , man to man</p>
<p>.Another thing that is not fully understand how HIV causes AIDS. Again, however, we have some theories explain how the virus can cause the immune system to stop functioning properly in many ways and not only directly kill cells.</p>
<p>140 Ignorance about the precise way in which something happens is not evidence that does not happen.</p>

<p>Before we can start looking for a cause, we need first to clarify exactly what kind of disease we are talking about.</p>
<p>In early 1981, several physicians in New York and California began to report some strange new disease outbreaks.</p>
<p>In both places, previously healthy young men appeared with rare diseases including Kaposi&#8217;s sarcoma (a type of tumor) and PCP (a type of pneumonia), something hitherto unprecedented in this type of people.</p>
<p>Within months, dozens of similar cases were reported in 23 states across the U.S. and the UK, representing the beginning of a massive and unprecedented epidemic. 5</p>
<p>Doctors quickly discovered a distinctive feature of these cases. More than anything, these men lacked a particular type of white blood cells essential to a healthy immune system.<span id="more-25"></span></p>
<p>Normally, people have between 600 and 1500 &#8220;CD4 + T cells (also called helper T cells) in each cubic millimeter of blood. But men with the strange new disease typically had much lower levels. This immune deficiency is explained why they were so susceptible to disease.</p>
<p>The cases were clearly related in time and by population group (initially homosexual men and intravenous drug users). Could not find any cause of AIDS, but it was clear that was not inherited.</p>
<p>The researchers then grouped all these new and rare cases under the heading &#8220;Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS.</p>
<p>The most recent definition of AIDS in the United States was founded in 1993. Under this definition, someone has AIDS if they have a 26 specific diseases (28 in children) but no known cause of immunodeficiency other than HIV (some diseases, it requires a positive HIV test), or if they have a number of T CD4 + minor 200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood, or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, plus an HIV test positive.9</p>
<p>The definition of AIDS usually requires a positive HIV test. This means that any connection between <a href="http://www.peacepartnershipinternational.org/">HIV and AIDS</a> is artificially strengthened since any case of &#8220;AIDS without HIV&#8221; is discarded.</p>
<p>In other words, the definition and assumed that HIV causes AIDS and therefore can not be used to test this theory. However it is possible to redefine AIDS without reference to HIV or any other disease.</p>
