Vaginitis is a common infection among women. Vaginitis is simply put as the inflammation of the vagina. There can be a number of etiologic agents for vaginitis and the disease can take a number of forms.

Vaginitis often ensues when one’s vaginal bacteria isn’t able to destroy harmful pathogens.

Among the other forms of vaginitis, yeast infection is probably the most common. Most women are estimated to get a yeast infection at least once in a lifetime.

The reason for why women get yeast infections is because Candida albicans colonizes their private areas. People with compromised immune systems are more susceptible to yeast infections than their healthier counterparts.  Read more... (389 words, estimated 1:33 mins reading time)

There are five reasons for the abortions that come about most generally. Unluckily, a lot of pregnancies end in Miscarriage, more time and again than not due to any fault of the mother.

Many women feel guilty subsequent to an abortion, thinking that somehow contributed to the loss of her child. It is important that these women understand that about 15% to 20% of pregnancies end in abortion.

Chromosomal abnormalities Chromosomal abnormalities crop up at what time there is an abnormality in the sperm or the egg, as the wrong number of chromosomes.

More and more adults today are becoming overweight. Some are even considered clinically obese by some standards. While you may not consider yourself overweight, you’d probably like to lose a few pounds. If so, then this is for you.

Experts agree that the two most significant changes you can make are to eat less and exercise more. That may seem like a no-brainer, but why are so many people still fat?

One main reason is that most people look at losing weight as something they need to do, like remodeling their house, or finishing a college degree. With this mindset, it’s no wonder the weight always seems to come back. Without an underlying change in lifestyle, any fix is bound to be temporary.  Read more...

BodyTalk is a healthcare system that works with to harmonize the body on all levels. The premise is that the body is designed to heal itself, which is does through communication. BodyTalk works to improve the communication systems within the body so that it can be more efficient and heal itself more effectively.

Balancing the cortices is one of the most important techniques in BodyTalk. It works to balance the brain, which is involved in everything we do! Everything in the body is reflected in the brain, therefor by balancing the cortices we are bringing attention to brain, and helping to improve it’s function and subsequently the health of the entire body.

One of the other very important things about balancing the cortices is that it helps to shift the body and mind out of ‘fight or flight’ (sympathetic) and into ‘growth and healing’ (parasympathetic). We often get stuck in flight or flight which causes great stress to the body, and breaks sown those communication pathways in the body. It’s like too many plugs are plugged in and our circuits ‘blow’. This causes us to get stuck in a stressful state, and from this place, everything is more difficult- including healing.

Balancing the cortices also balanced the right/left brain which is fundamental for a healthy body and mind.

The right brain is the more intuitive side, imagination and it can work holistically- looking at the big picture. It is responsible for our creativity and and artistic abilities.

The left brain is responsible for our reasoning, logic and thought. It looks at the details and works in a linear way therefor it is slower. It is our knowledge and our learned behaviors.

Most people spend most of their time in their left brain, with periods in the right brain. Usually it is inconsistent and we will flip flop between the two or spend most time in just the left brian. What we would like is to have both sides of the brain working together to provide us with the ability to connect to the big pictures whilst knowing the details, have logic AND intuition, be able to be aware of where we’re going at the same time as knowing the steps to take….

Balancing the cortices daily starts to bring the body and brain back to a state of health where we can naturally move between different events without getting stuck in fight or flight and start to live using our whole brain.

I highly recommend balancing your cortices in the morning when you wake up, before you go to sleep, and if you have any kind of shock or trauma. If you have an accident, a headache, cut yourself, are stressed out, receive some bad news… tap out your cortices and watch how you relax and return to a place where the body can start healing. Get out of shock, and start healing!

Try it, and let me know how you get on!

You would be astounded to discover just how many individuals think that the best way to slim down is by going hungry and while this does work in the short run, you will not find one physician that would ever advocate this severe course of action. Health weight loss diets are only ever advocated since such radical measures only leave the body weak with an even weaker immune system. Most of the better healthy weight loss diets advocate providing the person the required amount of calorific intake which is considered to be just right, and the diet should contain all the necessary nutrients required by the body.  Read more...
