Definition of health: the spiritual, physical, mental and social. This is the perfect harmony of all functions and manifestations of human beings.

Definitions of disease: It is the absence of health. This is a natural effort to restore the lost harmony. This is a reaction or adaptation mechanism that aims to compensate for the disturbing effects of the actions that damage or harm.

The Naturist first about health teaches us that there is a good thing in itself in contrast with the opposite disease so that if we eradicate the disease should improve their health. The first agent to improve the overall health of a person would own. If the person who has lost his health does not work for the welfare of your own how can we expect a full recovery?

Some naturopathic principles:

* We are responsible for what happened to us at all levels: physical, mental and spiritual.

* Consciously or unconsciously, willingly or unwillingly, we shape our destiny and our health status.

* If we become ill our selves, we can also reverse the process and regain lost health.

* The disease typically manifests it self in every individual.
This means that every body is different and even when suffering the same symptoms, the effects are different for each person.

* Nature’s healing. Natural concept refers to the body’s own healing power. Treatments that used to help his own vital force patients to increase their power to restore health.

* Inconvenience Each is a sign of abnormality in the functioning of organic cuandose returned back to normal health and harmony.

* Disease All involve physical and psychological disorders. Body and mind so interconnected that what happens in one affects the other to a greater extent or smaller.

* When sad or sick, we are dealing with the effects of the causes that have been simmering for some time.

* There is a psychosomatic disease and psychosomatic. The first stems from a psychological disorder that affects and organic. In the second problem that started in organic functions, and this then affects the person’s mental processes.

Origin of disease: The major cause of origin of the disease found in living in disharmony with the laws of nature. This disharmony caused by the stupidity that is not only a lack of information but have false ideas and knowledge. Ignorance breeds all the shortcomings and limitations of humans as laziness, greed, la, passion, choice, pride, dirt, incontinence, theft, lying, murder, violence, and everything that is negative and produce unhealthy in humanity.

What is avian influenza and how people can protect against this disease?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the UN or avian influenza is an infectious disease that affects birds and is caused by type A strains of influenza virus. This disease, which was first identified in Italy more than 100 years ago, occurs worldwide.

It is believed that all birds are susceptible to such infection, although certain species are more resistant than others. Infected birds may show different symptoms, from mild flu to a highly contagious disease and fulminant course resulting in severe epidemics.

The latter is known as “highly pathogenic avian influenza. This form is characterized by sudden onset, severe illness and rapid death, with a mortality that can approach 100%.

Migratory waterfowl – especially wild ducks – are the natural reservoir of avian influenza viruses, also being the most resistant to infection. The domestic poultry, including chickens and turkeys, are particularly vulnerable to epidemics of rapidly fatal influenza.

The direct or indirect contact of domestic flocks with wild migratory waterfowl has been mentioned as a frequent cause of such epidemics. Live bird markets have also played an important role in the spread of epidemics.

Why is the avian flu virus H5N1 is so dangerous?

Of the 15 subtypes of avian influenza virus, H5N1 is the most worrying because it mutates rapidly and has a documented propensity to acquire genes from viruses infecting other animal species.

Their ability to cause serious disease to humans has been documented on two occasions. In addition, laboratory studies have shown that the isolated viruses are highly pathogenic and can cause severe disease in humans.

Birds that survive infection excrete virus for at least 10 days, both orally further facilitating the spread in the markets for live poultry and through migratory birds.

The epidemic of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by H5N1, which began in mid December 2003 in the Republic of Korea and currently affects other Asian countries is therefore of particular public health importance.

H5N1 variants demonstrated a capacity to directly infect humans in 1997, and has done so again in Vietnam in January 2004. The spread of infection among birds increases the potential for direct infection of humans.

If as time goes on growing the number of infected people will also increase the likelihood that humans, when concurrently infected with strains of human influenza and avian influenza, also serve as a “Shaker” for the emergence of a novel subtype with sufficient human genes to be passed easily from person to person. An act of such features mark the start of an influenza pandemic.

Some authors go so far as to give the meaning “unity of opposites”, approaching, thus, the Chinese principle of Yin and Yang. The word yoga also has the sense of physical and mental discipline.

The origins of yoga

Yoga is a technique dating back more than four thousand years and is deeply in the Indian tradition. Originally, it was primarily regarded as a spiritual discipline. But soon, fans will realize it is also a source of health and peace, where a mixture of exercises spiritual, intellectual and physical, which is based on a philosophy.

This is the eighth century AD that Indian sage, Patanjali, undertook a synthesis of all the knowledge acquired over the centuries by yogis. The result was a book: the Sutras of Patanjali, a sort of code of Yoga, where he established the Astanga Yoga, Yoga or eight steps.
The role of Patanjali

This is the eighth century AD that Indian sage, Patanjali, undertook a synthesis of all the knowledge acquired over the centuries by yogis. The result was a book: the Sutras of Patanjali, a sort of code of Yoga, where he established the Astanga Yoga, Yoga or eight steps:

- Yamas, control rules and discipline;
- Niyama, principles of observance of a certain lifestyle (physical and moral cleanliness, contentment, self-study);
- Asanas, postures of the body with beneficial actions on the health and mind. These are asanas that allow, first, breath control and mind;
- Pranayama, breathing techniques which, combined with asana, the Yogi can have a near-total control of his body (and his mind);
- Pratyahara, detachment of the mind, which frees itself from the domination of the senses and matter;
- Dharana, concentration;
- Dhyana, meditation;
- Samadhi, the ultimate step of the spiritual journey of yoga, rather difficult to explain in a rational context. The best approach (and translation) appears to be the word “liberation”, recalling the state of grace, Christians, Buddhists enlightenment, or satori zen.

These eight steps form the framework of different yogas. In the West, and particularly in Europe, only the Hatha Yoga is practiced and taught. Indeed, it is the most concrete way, the closest and most accessible to the Western mind.

The population of wine consumers are better protected than others. This protective effect was more marked in the elderly or people with metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity + diabetes + hypertension). Keeping in mind that alcohol consumption has remained moderate.

The protective effects of wine

Alcohol is primarily responsible for this protective effect, and as beer and spirits are also beneficial. However, wine is a product rich in various components, in addition to alcohol, and each year we discover new molecules benefactors in wine, particularly red wine. This indeed has a positive role in lipid metabolism, has anti-oxidant, vasodilator, decreases platelet aggregation and inflammation are the main factors of atherosclerosis. Those responsible for these effects are flavonoids that are also found in chocolate, tea and pepper, polyphenols (in particular procyanidins that are found mostly in the wines of south-west), resveratrol , quercetin and many other components being identified. The revestratol is a natural antibiotic that is found mainly in grape Tannat and Merlot, and lesser amounts in the Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The real or supposed virtues of wine have little impact on French consumers are witnessing an annual decline in consumption, which was 43 liters per capita per year in 2007, an consumption three times lower than in 1960.

This disaffection for wine (but not distilled spirits, which, however, are up) accompanied by a debate on the supposed benefits of wine consumption or abstinence. For oncologists, alcohol has more disadvantages than advantages, and its consumption, the first glass, increases the risk of cancer disease. Whenever possible alcohol in all its forms, must be avoided.

This position is not unanimously, including the world of medicine, where alcohol, in small quantities daily (equivalent to 2 glasses of wine) has incomparable virtues to the cardiovascular system and metabolism due to its anti-oxidant qualities. Wine consumption also protect against the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease.
Different effects depending on context

The effects of wine would be different depending on the food environment: a diet rich in omega-6 as Powered through the current increase production more carcinogenic free radicals that diets rich in omega-3. Similarly, among women, a diet rich in vitamin B12 (green vegetables) protect against the potential effects of wine on the risk of breast cancer. The association between smoking + alcohol is particularly harmful for cancers of the throat and esophagus, while the wine itself does not increase the risk. Finally there are many cases where one might think that the wine has a protective role against cancer, as in the case of prostate cancer.

The ideal is to consume wine in small quantities with meals, especially during a Mediterranean diet rich in vegetables and omega-3.

We must therefore admit that sleep is a factor of integration of knowledge.

It is estimated that sleep would be a slow phase during which knowledge is reinforced and REM sleep serve to increase storage capacity, which explains that memory is better when there is a sleep phase after phase of learning. Finally, some experiments have shown that there is indeed an increase in REM sleep after learning.

The only certainty is that sleep time is sufficient aid to memory. To prepare a review should not only have the requisite knowledge, but you also sleep well.

The opposite is not true: he does not sleep well for accumulating knowledge, as have tried to make out the methods of learning “while sleeping”, now abandoned.

Before we can start looking for a cause, we need first to clarify exactly what kind of disease we are talking about.

In early 1981, several physicians in New York and California began to report some strange new disease outbreaks.

In both places, previously healthy young men appeared with rare diseases including Kaposi’s sarcoma (a type of tumor) and PCP (a type of pneumonia), something hitherto unprecedented in this type of people.

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

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.

Normally, people have between 600 and 1500 “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.

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.

The researchers then grouped all these new and rare cases under the heading “Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS.

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

The definition of AIDS usually requires a positive HIV test. This means that any connection between HIV and AIDS is artificially strengthened since any case of “AIDS without HIV” is discarded.

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.
