Use Of Onion Skins And Leaves For Skin Treatment

Onions are one of the most used vegetables in kitchens the world, which says a lot about their unique taste and numerous health benefits. Yet we all become guilty of throwing away the peel of the onion before adding onion to our meals.


Well, we'll convince you today to never do that again.

Several studies have shown that full of onion peel is with antioxidants, even more than in the onion itself and significantly improves overall health.

The brown outer layer is a rich source of antioxidants, fiber and flavonoids that promote healthy skin.

In addition, the peel of the onion highly potent pigment known as quercetin, which prevents clogging of the arteries and reduces high blood pressure, it has powerful sedative properties, and treats insomnia. In addition, the powerful antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-cancer and anti-fungal properties.

The main ingredient in the skin of the onion, quercetin, a flavonoid and powerful antioxidant that destroys the main causes of cancer, namely; free radicals.

Studies have shown that the skin is rich in insoluble fiber, which supports a good peristaltic movement of the colon.

In addition, the insoluble fiber eliminate the accumulated toxins from the gut, it controls the pH-value, and prevents the formation of cancer cells.

The inclusion of the peel of the onion in the diet reduces the risk of:

- Type 2 diabetes
- heart and vascular disease
- Gastrointestinal problems
- obesity
- colon cancer

The peel can be added to various stews and soups.

We will here give the recipe for onion skin tea, which is a great way to enjoy all these benefits:

Turn first the shells in a glass jar, pour boiling water over several onion peel, cover and let stand for 15 weeks during minuten.zeef then tea and drink a cup of it before bedtime.

Note: The use of onion peel is not recommended for pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Our nose has to endure a lot. blockages in colds, or just a runny nose. Also things like hay fever
provide nasal problems and the means.

Suffer from migraines? How to get there naturally from it!

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from migraines, and what I tried, nothing helped, also prescribed medication from the doctor not.

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from migraines, and what I tried, nothing helped, even prescription medication from the doctor not.

Well I m not at all in favor of allopathic medicines and seek salvation much prefer natural remedies, so when the doctor nothing could do for me regarding my migraines, I decided to throw it over a natural bow and sat me to deepen the Internet in migraine agents. Two things jumped thereby directly in the eye, namely, turmeric and ginger.

Ginger is a natural ingredient in every remedy that comes to controlling pain, and it is again easy to get (just at the grocery store even, or kwaliteitje strengthened by health shops), and also easy to use. Simply cut a piece of ginger root and chopped heels then pulling a tea.

Turmeric, was a somewhat more challenging, because the active substance in it called curcumin, which fights inflammation is poorly absorbed by the human body and also once more is poorly soluble in water. Difficult as it must in a little tea. Even if you add black pepper to the mix, you increase the absorption of curcumin by only one percent or five. In short, the amount of turmeric that you should consume to get an active agent is too high to make it somewhat normal (for fighting over, not for prevention).

Luckily I found the solution in Curcumin water . This is purified (spring) water where the substance curcumin has already been resolved, so that you firstly much easier ingest enough of the substance and secondly, you are assured of the fact that your body absorbs 100 percent. Ideal!

Armed with the above knowledge and resources I'm going to brew a tea with the following ingredients:

Fresh Ginger (a piece the size of your thumb)
I buy this at just the Jumbo
1 cup water curcumin
Curcumin water I buy at Kenwell Nature
1 bag of black tea (It does not matter what, as long as it is a black kind)
I buy at the Albert Hein
Half teaspoon cinnamon (in support of the analgesic effect of ginger)
I just buy the Jumbo 1 teaspoon cardamom (Just for sale in the supermarket)
I just buy the Jumbo
Half a cup (almond / coconut / rice) milk
I use coconut milk and this I make
Honey to taste (purely to sweeten)
I buy directly from the Beekeeper (Unfortunately no website so no linkje)
2 cups water
Just tap 🙂
Preparation:

Kenwell-nature-eg-300x250 Put a saucepan on the stove and pour two cups of water. Then cut the ginger into small pieces and add it along with the cardamom, and cinnamon. Bring to the boil, so the ginger releases its healing substances. Let it stand for 10 minutes and then add the black tea, and a cup of water curcumin (which is about 5ml), and simmer for 2 minutes.

Use:
Pour half a cup of tea (through a sieve or similar.) In a cup, fill it on with the milk and add the honey. The result is a tea that tastes great, and you have so enough for two cups / mugs. Drink this one after the other, go lie down quietly to work your body. After about half an hour, the migraines disappeared.

Note 1: Whether it is because of the tea I do not know, but since I'm making about six months ago to use the frequency of migraine attacks become less, and at the time of this writing is my last migraine attack yet another thick two months ago. I do have to mention that I had to drink this tea every day, because I think he's just yummy!

Note 2: The above use myself so specific for migraine, but this tea is particularly effective in any kind of pain. For example, it helps excellently against the rheumatic pains of my wife who takes this tea twice daily as she has a lot of bother. This tea can really replace regular painkillers and so too did in my house.

Lighting is the set of natural and artificial light. This makes things become visible (in darkness) and more visible. Artificial light is eg candlelight, an oil and gas lamp, as well as incandescent, fluorescent and LED light.

Daylight is our greatest natural source of light during the day and the moon at night.
Light is the eye for the visible part of the spectrum. Light is a wave motion and is expressed in wavelengths (nm). Because visible light always travels through a medium, it will not appear in frequencies. In general, the medium is air, but it can also be a transparent liquid or solid.

The wavelengths for the eye visible light are located between 380 nm (violet) and 780 nm (red).
Ultraviolet (smaller than 380 nm) and infrared (greater than 780 nm) are not visible but detectable, both through the eyes and through the skin.
(see radiation and magnetic fields ).

Daylight
Receiving light through our eyes and skin is a necessary element for equating our biorhythms. In addition, has a positive influence on the performance efficiency of the human being to work. Daylight and exterior views (especially the green of plants and trees) has a stimulating effect on performance and well-being of man. In hospitals gives daylight and exterior views faster healing. Here applies: the more southerly directed the shorter the recording time.

Daylight also has its limitations. Excess light level gives light pollution by the users include working with machines and monitors. It is therefore necessary here adequate light resistance with a high LTA value, which does not mean: light-tight. Sunlight, must be able to continue to experience the user.

Daylight Protection, the user needs to need and necessity, preferably electric, can operate. In addition to light-security has light resistance also has a heat-resistant operation, so energy-saving advantage. This section is central (electric) to be controlled by a seperate or the building management system. This allows the heat / cold insulation can be used at times when there are no people in the building. Adequate light barrier has a matte-reflective metallic exterior and may be in (twin) pleated, vertical or horizontal blinds.

Artificial light
With daylight we just do not make it. Artificial light as a supplement or replacement of daylight will therefore always be necessary. Fluorescent lighting (fluorescent or compact (savings) lamps is the most used. The use of incandescent and halogen lamps is restricted by the European Commission because of the unfavorable light energy efficiency. The light output is only 5% compared to total assets.

As a replacement for incandescent and halogen lamps, the LED lighting is appropriate. The development of LED and OLED lighting is going at a fast pace, so happy the quality of the lighting is improving. It should still be a critical look at the achieved level of light, the right color, the energetisch- and maintenance efficiency and electrical and fire safety. To qualify for investment are stringent energy requirements per fixture (100-110 lumens / Watt). It is unfortunately only look at the horizontal illuminance on the worksheet. It ignores the human communication and interaction necessary vertical illuminance.

norms
The standard for visible light that used in the design and evaluation of lighting situations: BS EN 12464-1: 2011 Light and lighting - Workspaces; Part 1: Workspaces inside. This harmonized European Standard (EN) is for many specific tasks and areas to the correct horizontal and vertical illuminance levels indicated, suplemented with a value of good color reproduction factor for uniformity and value in order to prevent glare interference from the luminaire (see other in VDU ). Also, pay attention to the prevention of light pollution and also sufficient vertical illumination. The latter is important for proper observation of persons, obstacles and experience of the (work) space and objects within that space.

Because this standard is mostly technically oriented, the Dutch Foundation for Illumination (has www.nsvv.nl ) released an explanation of this standard, "Notes to BS EN 12464-1," and also practice documents for further clarification issued for ao lighting School, office lighting, museum lighting and industrial buildings.

In addition to the standard BS EN 12464-1: 2011 also applies BS 3087: 2011 Ergonomics - Visual Ergonomics: background, principles and applications. The use of this standard is to focus on getting good information about brightness relationships between work surfaces (including the screen) and its surroundings and to color and size (read) signs and symbols in relation to see and observe.

Many complaints about improper lighting can be reduced by reflective surfaces, too much and too much brightness ratios, a low color contrast, light pollution into the field, because we are "too straight" and are affected by the light above us rather than our natural posture in which the 20 ° head is directed downwards.

To measure light levels and brightnesses, the NEN 1891 an important guideline.
In addition to measuring horizontal illuminance, this standard also gives tools for measuring vertical and cylindrical illumination, measuring diffuse and peak luminance, determining luminance ratios and diffuse reflectance.

Carrying out a proper measurement is work experts. So take this one lightly consultant with knowledge of light measured in accordance with DIN 1891 in the arm.
Important - also for an indicative measurement - is in any case, that one determines the average of at least 20 over the plane divided light measuring points.
risks

Peak Clear Present luminaires with specular reflector forms a major source of light pollution complaints. Despite these fixtures comply with the so-called UGR factor of 19.

Large differences in brightness (luminance) can cause discomfort and sometimes dangerous situations, such as glare, flare, scrambling. This allows signals (warning) signs disappear and text can be unreadable. Think about escape routes and emergency response transparencies or stop signs. Both daylight (eg. Escape on transparent glass door) and artificial light (spotlight) may be the problem.

The maximum recommended brightness difference in the visual field is between 1:10 workspace (including the screen), walls and ceiling and between 1:30 workspace / screen and window (including light resistance). The frequent need exceeding these ratios may increase the risk of getting ocular and headaches. Discomfort reduces work performance efficiency.

dazzle
Brightnesses larger than 5000 cd / m 2 giving an absolute blindness. Great background brightnesses not only lead to blindness, but also ensure silhouette formation. As a result, one can not perceive information, which may be risky. In silhouette form, one can not detect faces and facial expression. This gives a strong sense of social insecurity.

Too much light on the work surface or display is a scrambling of information that it is not perceptible. This shall include as one with the laptop on a sunny day is out of work. The phenomenon is not only very annoying, it also lowers the performance efficiency and may even be dangerous and / or financial loss, for example if one can not read warning information.

The visible light can be harmful to the eye at a very high level, such as in direct sunlight or bright lights, even LEDs (have to) look and lasers. Prolonged and permanent damage occurs at a dose effect (product quantity and time) 10 8 cd.s / m 2 corresponding to a brightness of 10 9 cd / m 2 at a viewing time of> 0, 1s. In general, must magnitudes greater than 3000 cd / m 2 can be prevented.
Bright light at one focal point may lead to partial failure in the yellow spot (macula / fovea). Such a phenomenon can occur with dentists as a result of watching a prolonged period (stare) to the 'hole' in the tooth.

Although many still think so, the light from fluorescent lamps (fluorescent tubes and compact lamps) is not harmful. For some, the blinking frequency of the fluorescent lamp (especially visible at the ends of the tube with conventional ballasts (ballasts) 50Hz) very annoying and can cause headaches. The problem with the blinking frequency and headaches also applies to a large number of LED lamps and LED light fixtures with inaccurate rectified (ripple voltage with ripples of 50Hz) and voltage lowering electronics.

Color temperature and color rendering
When lighting, and LED lighting in particular, attention should be paid to proper color temperature and correct -natuurlijke- color rendering (Ra> 80). Illumination with a color temperature between approximately 2000 and 3000K gives a warm tint in the red / yellow area. When a color temperature of 4000K the above, one speaks of cool colors. The higher the value, the color temperature of the cooler (blue to whitish) color.

Daylight (measured with a cloudy sky on April 30 at 12.00) has a color temperature of 5700K. Colour temperatures of light sources (LEDs) with more than 6000K give mostly a blue-gray color and is not equivalent to daylight.

Many LED bulbs have a limited spectral distribution. Poor LED bulbs have about large share in the blue part of the spectrum and a lack of green / yellow and low in green and red part. Ostensibly, it seems okay, but the natural color reproduction, and specifically those of the skin is unbalanced and false.

The color rendering factor / index (Ra) indicates the reference to the natural color. A color rendering factor (Ra) of 100 is equal to daylight and heat emitters such as light bulbs and is the best. Good fluorescent lamps have an Ra of 90 or 80. color and / or quality assessments is a high color temperature (> 5000K) with an high color rendering (Ra> 90). However, the color reproduction factor is an arithmetic mean and can still miss parts of the spectrum in spite of a high value.

LED-lighting
There is good LED lights, but unfortunately there's too bad LED lighting. Excellent LED lighting covers the entire spectrum and has an Ra> 80 and a ripple <2%. Poor LED lighting has an Ra of mostly (still) around 60, and that's bad. In addition, such an LED lighting only in the middle of the white light source and color distortion occurs at the edges on. It is also often does not reach the whole spectrum, but its color temperature the average of the two extremes, namely 6000K and 2500K. The total light output of LED retrofit fluorescent tube lamps is sometimes lower than comparable fluorescent lamps, which is also another descending.

The thermal management of LEDs is particularly important. Can the heat away to the rear of the LEDs insufficiently good airflow, then the probability of 80% that these early, and if the light level drops sharply. Energetic give LED lighting next to a poor power factor of 0, 2 also higher harmonic voltage surges. Retro-fit LED tubes often give a downward light and the workspace as well not lit the faces of people. The standard of good lighting BS EN 12464-1 also indicates that the vertical illuminance should be around 60% of the horizontal illuminance.

 So at 500 lux horizontal illuminance vertical illuminance should be about 300 lux. In short, keep in LED lighting currently accounts for energy efficiency, maintenance and longevity. Replacing office lighting LED lighting begins to get a seat, but the facility manager should have an independent assessment of lighting, electrical, energy and maintenance performance. Moreover, LED lighting can already be well used in halls, corridors and elevators and other places where non-critical lighting can be used.

T5
Conversion to T5 fluorescent tubes using 'socks' demands extra attention. The placing of the with "socks" provided for T5 lamps in existing fixtures give a reduction of the illuminance with respect to the original design by at least 10%. In many situations it is only right below the standard level. In addition, a safety expert warning still applies. Not only is a "bootee" placed in front of the T5, but also the lighting fixture is being converted.

Hits a T5 tube with 'sock' defect, one should not stand FL-tube places in the luminaire, because then the control electronics can fail and potentially could catch fire. The conversion causes a deviation from the original construction of the fixture and thereby void the warranty of the luminaire. Also meet converted luminaires (also applies to retrofit led tubes) no longer meets the CE Mark.
ultraviolet light

Ultraviolet light is also the exception of solar radiation released during welding, curing processes (dentist) in the printing industry and in the packaging (see radiation and magnetic fields ). Somewhat depending on the power, the aanstraaltijd and wavelength (the whole is called 'dose effect'), there are effects as suntan acute eye problems (actinic conjunctivitis or snow blindness) or chronic eye problems (cataracts) possible. For long-term exposure to much UV light the skin will age faster and the risk of various types of skin cancer present increased, especially in people depigmented. Note to UV light - but also in bright blue light - the specular reflection of light. The reflected to UV and blue light cause damage to the eye and does not affect the operation in our biological system by the action in the brains.

Shielding of the source and / or the cover of his skin and eyes, depending on the situation, the appropriate forms of protection. Unfortunately, in many industrial situations or improperly shielded the UV sources. Especially welding often gives eye damage (arc eye) and sometimes - fortunately no lasting - complaints from tanning and / or incineration.
Ultraviolet light is divided into:

UV-A
(320 - 420 nm)
UV-B
(280 - 320 nm)
UV-C
(10 - 280 nm)
Infra-red
Having this is not expressed in nanometers (nm) on the size of this wavelength, but in micrometers (microns).

The infrared wavelength is divided into:
Short-wave IR (IR-A)
.780
3 microns
Medium wave IR (IR-B)
3
50 microns
Long-wave IR (IR-C)
50
1000 microns
The basic effect of infrared is heat and thus leads to thermal damage to the skin or eyes. The penetration depth of optical radiation in both the skin and the eye is dependent on the wavelength: "the longer the wave, the greater is the depth of penetration".

Caution should be to include halogen spotlights with a so-called cold light mirror. This mirror allows to increase the service life of the lamp, by the non-visible heat in the form of infrared radiation. For a long time by looking at a mirror such as a halogen lamp is in operation, inevitably leads to eye damage. This is also true for red laser, among others in use on the underside of the mouse with light sensor.

For more information, see Optical radiation Optical Radiation in work situations - Practical aspects of implementation in the Netherlands of the EU Directive on exposure to artificial sources of optical radiation (expense Ministry of Social Affairs, found on the site www.rivm.nl ).

Measure and assess
Lighting intensity can be measured with an illuminance meter or lux meter and is measured in lux (lx = 1 lm / m 2). To measure correctly by illumination refers to NEN 1891. The recommended values ​​are included in the BS EN 12464-1: 2011. The basis of a correct measurement of the illuminance is making a measurement grating. For a space generally applies a grid of 1 × 1 m. And for measuring the illuminance of a work surface 30 × 30 cm.

In addition to the measurement in the horizontal plane, the illumination shall also be measured in the vertical plane. Vertical illumination is of importance for the perception of the spatial dimensions and shapes, for sensing of obstacles and be able to see each other's face and to the interpersonal communication. Vertical illuminance is also important for public safety.

The luminance / brightness is to be measured with a luminance meter, and is expressed in candelas per square meter (cd / m 2). When measuring luminances / brightnesses goes to the next to the average value of the self-luminous or light-reflecting object mainly to the peak values ​​and to determine the brightness ratios. Camera having a luminance different luminances can be brought in in the image area at one time.

For luminance ratios (L min: L max) generally applies to a maximum of 1:10 between stage (also the screen) and walls, surfaces of cabinets, tables, ceilings, cabinets and workspace between 1:30 (also display ) and window air and outside buildings. To adapt quietly from light to dark and dark to light, our eye works in log10 steps. A peaceful transition from 10 to 100 and from 100 to 1000 vv, processes view easier than abrupt transitions and great clarity.

measures
Jobs and direct accesses to belong during the presence of the workers to be illuminated sufficiently and effectively by daylight, artificial or both ( Art. 6.3 Conditions Decree ). It should also be kept out direct sunlight ( Art. 6.4 Conditions Decree ). Also have windows in areas where people work with computers, are equipped with adequate light resistance (Occupational Health and Safety
Regulations). use in spaces with monitors preferably twinrolscreens or twinplissés. With this daylight prevention may be achieved a brightness ratio of up to a factor of 30, while the environment outside still -they can be observed the limited-. A good side effect is that as the sun light barrier is provided with a metallized side also these cold and certainly many resulting heat radiation stops. Which is energy-saving.

normal lighting
The normal lighting in office and laboratory space must be horizontal at least 500 lux on the working plane and its 300 lux vertical (cylindrical) in space to observe to see each other and obstacles. For a natural color perception should be the color rendering index Ra> 80. The more complete the spectral distribution of the light is, the better is the color reproduction. Furthermore, the values ​​of illumination and uniformity must at least comply with the requirements of BS EN12464-1.

Strengths lights above give 800 lux on the eye at 'normal' working conditions did not improve the performance efficiency. For office work in the workshop work (display and administration) is the minimum (standard) practice illuminance 500 lux on the worksheet. In places in the workplace where it is certain that there is not worked, the illuminance can be 40% lower. Illuminances of below 200 lux create a workspace unpleasant and have a negative effect on the performance and well-being (NEN 3087).

In places where one comes occasionally, for the orientation requires an illuminance of at least 10 lux. If need work at this place, it is necessary on the level of orientation lighting switch to the level of work lighting.

Lighting intensities above 800 lux (up to about 3000 lux) are especially suitable as a special working lights, for example, for precision work, such as color and quality, surgery or precision assembly. Here again, therefore, high color rendering factor.

Emergency lighting standard BS EN 1838 applies to sites can occur when light spot danger to persons such as rotating machinery, chemical reactions, or areas with a lot of people is a sound business and skilled emergency and / or anti-panic lighting is always a requirement.

How To Cure Or Treat Headache/Back Pain completely

Dieter Dorn, born on August 13, 1938, deceased January 19, 2011, is the founder of the Dorn method. He had a sawmill and a farm. In the evenings after work he treated people according to its own method Dorn. His son continued the work in the sawmill while continuing Dorn himself was
more concerned with treating people. Heilpraktikers and physiotherapists are going to apply the Dorn method. Many are trained by Dieter Dorn himself.

In 1973 Dieter Dorn was during his work severe back pain from improper lifting of a tree trunk. He could only lie and sit down very slowly. He turned to the old lock farmer Josef Müller in a nearby village who had helped many people with back problems. Dorn had to stand slightly hunched over with his hands on a table supportive. While Dorn with one leg rocked back and forth, Müller pressed gently on the spinous processes of the vertebrae, making it came down again in the right place. The back and forth swinging of the leg Müller could not push too far the vertebrae. The pain was gone within minutes.

Dieter Dorn was once treated by Muller. , He was so impressed that he wanted to learn it myself. Unfortunately, it was not because Müller short time later died.

The Dorn wife had a headache for years. This was the first treatment of Dorn. He scanned the neck vertebrae of his wife and felt that two spinous processes were not quite right. A neurologist had confirmed this and suggested an operation. Dorn pressed gently with his thumbs against the spinous until he felt they were neatly above the other. Meanwhile his wife moved gently around her head back and forth. His wife was then liberated by a miracle of her headaches. This was the first experience of Dorn. This was followed by family and friends in town and surroundings, and later from afar.

In 1985, heard the orthopaedist Dr. Thomas Hansen about Dieter Dorn and his work. He let himself be treated by Dorn. This doctor was immediately very impressed and later he became increasingly convinced of the efficacy of the Dorn method. Dr. Hansen Dorn provided by literature, so that he could also move into medical backgrounds.

Later, Dorn explains that he has not invented the method; He has this one developed. People around him have ensured that the method has become known worldwide as. Interested parties were given the chance to learn the method and to deal with it.

How does the treatment look like?
Scanning and printing goes from bottom to top, so the lumbar spine to the neck. First, the patient with hands resting on the treatment table. Then the patient can sit down on the treatment table. Most therapists work with a height-adjustable treatment table, so the table at the correct height for the therapist to adjust.

At home the patient drills: the leg joints, but also arms and fingers if that proves necessary. Together with the therapist, the exercises are done the first time; then the patient may show the exercises the therapist, so that it knows that exercise is well understood.

When examining the patient lies on his back on the treatment table. First leg lengths are checked and compared. If necessary, for differences proved corrected the hip joint. Then the other leg joints at the turn; The ankles and knees are tested for mobility. The therapist takes the legs of the patient and at the same time exerts pressure on the joints so that it will properly in place; This is completely painless. The patient is optionally drills for at home, in order to keep the joints in the right place. The tension in the muscles is reduced by the treatment, and as a result, relaxing the joints themselves.

The patient then goes slightly bent standing with hands while resting on the treatment table. The therapist explores the spinous processes of all the vertebrae to find any slight shift to the left or right.
For small changes in the cervical spine helps the patient with by gently moving the head. Is it asked for changes in the thoracic vertebrae, the patient is to slowly shuttling back and forth with one arm. At the lumbar spine, the patient oscillates slowly with his leg, while the therapist gently presses against the spinous processes.

After the treatment, it is important to drink a lot; two liters of water per day. Continue to do while not stretching exercises and avoid excessive taxation.

Contraindications to the Dorn Method:
injuries and fractures do not heal even after an accident
acute inflammation and inflammation-like processes
hernias and after hernia surgery
involuntary loss of urine and / or feces
a severe osteoporosis
tumors

when pregnant may lumbar no longer be treated as the 5th month.
Back pain is a warning signal

It is important in order to undergo a Dorn-treatment as soon as possible to back pain. A targeted treatment is necessary to have a wrong attitude (which is to avoid pain) to prevent. Abnormalities of can do a lot of pain, but the pain should not get stuck due to an abnormal posture or because we did not want to move to prevent pain. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs can provide relief here, but they do not offer the way to healing.

The most common cause for acute back pain is a functional disorder in the joints of one or more vertebrae of the spinal column. In 90% of chronic back pain, the doctor will make a diagnosis that can explain the pain. Only 10% of the complaints is cause a fracture of a vertebra, a sliding vertebrae, a spinal hernia, narrowing of the spinal canal, arthritis or cancer. These symptoms are also similar to the contraindications to treatment.

Backaches can be psychosomatic. Everyone knows carry something on the shoulders "phrase well, and" there he goes plague. If the psychological burden long enough, there will arise in the spinal pains and disorders. Even with depression may experience back pain with no organic cause. This is called conversion. Here the psychological burden works out physical symptoms. Placebos, drugs without active substance can be highly effective in back pain. As a therapy such as walking, cycling, climbing stairs. 'Rust out' is certainly applicable. Keep moving, even in the throes, is the motto.
As within, so without

To all of the vertebrae is externally and internally assigned an area of ​​the body, known as the 'Headse Zones'. Head was the doctor who wrote these skin areas. Complaints appointed by the patient, can sometimes be traced accordingly. For example, the annoying complaint from the ringing in the ears, tinnitus. This could be an incorrect position of the 3rd and / or 4th cervical vertebra. Many patients would have helped them as a Dorn therapist these vertebrae put together properly. At each vertebra are thus naming a lot of potential problems.

Fear, worry, anger and grief can cause a negative effect on muscle tone and then back problems. Joy has a positive, relaxing effect on muscles and can help to prevent back problems, alleviate or remedy. This shows that emotions have a significant effect on the physical well-being of the patient.
Relaxed living, proper breathing, healthy diet, exercise and drink plenty of water are important daily measures that are easy to do. They may prevent a lot of suffering

Back Pain DorSano Spineclinic Set To Organizes Open Day Awareness

A s well all are aware DorSano stands for a healthy back. The premise of the medical clinic where working on mobility, strength and coordination. One method that you finally got rid of your back pain. It sounds too good to be true. Yet this Rijssensestraat clinic has more than five years particularly
good results. Over 80% points difference. Decrease pain, improve function and many patients even get completely off their complaints.

Each year, nearly 700,000 people with back pain to the doctor. 90% of that group with nonspecific back pain gets after hearing a long range of medical specialists that they just have to get used to the pain. Or that it is between the ears. "

"For that group that is refractory and is not satisfied with the terminal, we have developed a scientifically based therapy," said Peter-Paul Lanson, branch manager of the establishment Rijssen.

On October 11 will be held at DorSano 'Opening Scandag' in Rijssen. On this day, people with back problems welcome to scan the back on appointment by presenting our experienced therapists, feel free to ask about his or her back problems.
The rugscan is made using the Medi Mouse. A device that analyzes the spine and sends the images to a computer. Medi Mouse maps out what the situation is with the mobility of the spine and where the trouble spots.

In DorSano working with a unique 3-phase methodology of which this scan is a part of the first phase. During this first phase, the strength of the trunk muscles will also be imaged using the "Back-Check", and then develop a targeted treatment plan. "Because if you do not know where the real problem is, you can not handle."

In the second phase, the vertebrae relative to each other are mobilized and the small rugspiertjes reactivated on a specially designed chair practice. In the third phase are central coordination and strength by training with visual feedback using the Dr. Wolff equipment.
The 'Open- Scandag' on Saturday, October 11th from 9:30 to 15:00 at the Roelf Bosma Street 37 in Rijssen. You are welcome!

Only 5 Percent Of Global Health Are Living Healthy

Musculoskeletal and mental health
Slightly more than half related to all health problems with our musculoskeletal (back pain, neck pain and arthritis) or mental problems (depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol addiction).


Of octogenarians in developed countries only 0.03% have no health problems. The number of people increased by more than 10 diseases faced between 1990 and 2013 by 52%.

Eight diseases to health loss lead take any more than 10% of the world: dental decay (2.4 billion people), blood pressure-related headache (1.6 billion), iron deficiency anemia (1.2 billion), G6PD deficiency (1, 18 billion), age deafness (1.23 billion), genital herpes (1.12 billion), migraine (850 million) and ascariasis (worm) (800 million).

Diabetes is increasing, but people do not die on
An important trend is that disability rates fall much more slowly than mortality. The number of people with diabetes has increased by 43% over the past 23 years. The number of deaths due to diabetes increased by 'only' 9%. The health loss due to diabetes, however, grew much louder by 136%. "The fact that mortality is decreasing faster than non-lethal diseases and injuries is a further proof of how important it is to pay attention to the growing health loss associated with the leading causes of disability, and not just focus on reducing of mortality, "said Theo Vos, lead author, University of Washington, in Science Daily .

We are living longer but not healthier
Worldwide, the number of healthy life years lost (DALYs: disability-adjusted life year) due to illness and disability (not death) of 21% in 1990 to 31% in 2013. The number of years in which we faced increased by deteriorating health by 43% increasing. We therefore appear to live longer with a disease that we do not die.

According to the researchers is the deteriorating health of the world associated with increased life expectancy. Old age comes, literally, with flaws. They warn of a further rise in the burden of disease in the coming decades. Chronic diseases with a non-fatal dominate the overall disease burden. Currently, the focus of care especially to combat causes of death, not to combat restrictions. "We must also pay attention to the increase of diseases and how to treat it so that quality of life remains high," says researcher Theo Vos of the University of Washington.

The results of the study are published in the scientific journal The Lancet. The research was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The effect of glucosamine on pain-related non-specific low back pain

Background. Low back pain that has lasted more than six months and has no specific cause, such as a tumor, infection, fracture or herniated disc and which is found in imaging arthritis of the spine, is common and difficult to treat. Glucosamine has been registered for the, still proved insufficient
indication pain relief in osteoarthritis of the hip and knee ( EB 2005; 39: 61-66 and EB 2006; 40: 107-108 ). This dietary supplement is becoming more like self-medication by patients with low back pain, although nothing is known about its efficacy. This has led us to carry out an intervention study in Norway. 1

Method. The researchers randomly assigned 250 patients with chronic low back pain, and with well-defined criteria for MRI degeneration of intervertebral discs or the movable joints of the spine (facet joints), to a treatment for six months with 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate or placebo. All other treatments were allowed to continue. It was a double-blind study. The back pain-related physical discomfort were measured with a score on the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), a widely used and validated questionnaire. A positive response was an improvement after six months, or 12 of at least three points on this 24 point scale.

Result. The groups were comparable at baseline good and there was good adherence and little downtime. In the placebo group decreased the average RMDQ-score after six and 12 months from 9.7 to 5.0 and 5.5, and in the glucosamine group from 9.2 to 5.0 and 4.8, all the differences were not significant. Also on some secondary endpoints, such as pain, quality of life, and adverse events, there were no significant differences between the groups.

Conclusion researchers. In patients with chronic low back pain and osteoarthritis of the lumbar spine gives treat six months with glucosamine no reduction of pain associated with physical limitations as compared with placebo. Neither was the case with control half a year later.

location

Given the high quality of design and execution, according to the author of an accompanying editorial, the only possible conclusion from this study that six months administration of glucosamine probably no more than a placebo effect on low back pain in osteoarthritis. 2 However, this statement is not complete. Other possible explanations include the natural history and regression to the mean ( EB 1997; 31: 1-6 ).

In chronic diseases shows the severity of the symptoms often strong fluctuations. If a patient consults a physician at the time that it has the most complaints, is it likely that this, again following a decrease in the symptoms in the course of time. This phenomenon, which is that serious complaints or symptoms go back to the more usual level of a patient is called regression to the mean.

It is also called "the friend of the doctor," because no matter what a doctor, the symptoms will have decreased on average over time. It is not possible to quantify the three factors on the results of the study the individual contribution separately.

The negative results of good research are very valuable to useless treatments such as prolonged bed rest and glucosamine, do not advise more low back pain which may emerge other treatments.

What you Should Know About Brain Pain

Too little attention to neural approach to chronic pain
Chronic pain is increasingly common, but it is still too unilaterally approached from either somatic or psychological perspective. Although it is known that the central nervous system could play a major role, it is with this knowledge has been little in practice.


Chronic pain is not necessarily a somatic or psychological cause. Also, the central nervous system plays a role in chronic pain syndromes and which will be more and more research fitted.2 In practice, however, still too little taken into account here, and holds it, in spite of disappointing results, often stuck to the traditional therapies.

We have gained experience from various disciplines with an active, on function-oriented approach in CRPS patients. To combine these experiences was established CRPS group Heliomare. We have come to the conclusion that the concept of neural reorganization 'are practicable for the explanation and treatment of chronic pain. We have found that neural reorganization can be an important approach in the treatment of chronic pain, where there is too little use is made of. The Working Group therefore considers it important to bring this concept under the name Neural Reorganisation Therapy (NRT) attention and hopes to initiate a discussion on new treatment options for chronic pain.

Pain as 'substantially'
Previously, chronic pain was often attributed to (persistent) peripheral causes, for example, blunt irritation with phantom pain, inflammation in CRPS, hernia back pain, whiplash neck injury. If a peripheral cause could be found (or not working a peripheral gripping therapy), it was assumed that the cause mental 'disorder' was, people with persistent phantom pain are psychotic (they indeed have hallucinations) and CRPS patients have pain their neurotic character structure. This dualistic approach is still dominant in our medicine. It is noteworthy that in these peripheral and psychiatric fixation, the role of the nervous system for a long time is left out of consideration.

Common pain therapies are often passive character

Recent developments in neuroscience clearly shows that each peripheral disease always has a central component and that our (peripheral and central) pain system is not static. There are pain modulatory systems that can make sensitive or less sensitive to our pain system (sensitization, habituation). It was also found that our system pain lasting of properties can change: to change the sensitivity and the involvement of brain regions and nerve fibers: plasticiteit.2

We now know that the origin and cure inflammation goes hand in hand with a sensitization desensitization of the pain neural system, respectively: an obvious useful mechanism. A peripheral condition is never alone! (Sometimes this mechanism will have failed and turns against us. The question is why.) In osteoarthritis example, there is a striking discrepancy (in both directions) between the (objective) anatomical abnormalities (X-ray) and the (subjective) experience pain . This can be explained by the varying characteristics of the pijnsysteem.3 With a 'sensitive' pain system (for example, by genetic makeup, created by diseases or negative expectations) will cause a lot of pain slight arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome omgekeerd.Bij leads drop-out of input from the affected hand to a greater sensitivity of central structures: the brains trying in this way the contact with the "risk basis" to secure: better a painfully sensitive hand than a numb hand 4!

The complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) has been shown that the involvement of central neural structures (including the somatosensory and motor cortex, cingulate gyrus) was amended substantially by pain. The neural pain ensemble has become more comprehensive and more sensitive and normaliseren.2 5 to repair this proves again 6

Analogous mechanisms are likely to back pain, phantom pain, fibromyalgia and even pain conversiesymptoom.2 7

neural reorganization
The usual pain therapies are often peripherally oriented: "treatment" of the peripheral tissue damage or blockage of nerves. If this does not work (which is often the case) is centrally come under fire (of opiates to neurosurgery). And finally, the psychiatrist is asked consultation, the patient is branded as psychotic or mentally unstable, loses his self-esteem and despair. In addition, conventional pain therapies often passive character: the patient "undergoing" treatment but not actively contributes. The control is with the doctor or therapist. Experience shows that this passive attitude the persistence of pain in the hand is working and can cause increased disability. That's why today there is for example a much more active approach to low back pain (compared to the former 'ligkuur).

In 2010, we assume that neural reorganization is an important factor in explaining chronic pain there is no peripheral tissue damage (more), there is not a mental disorder, but the pain system has changed (plastic). Neural reorganization is a broad concept, that is to say, the plastic changes within the pain system may be transient and functional (for example, sensitization of membrane receptors / synapses), or more durable and morphologically sealed (such as altered networks by synaptogenesis and / or neurogenesis) and everything in between . Interventions designed these neural reorganization to reduce in some way and thereby normalize the pain system we call Neural Restructuring Therapy (NRT), a concept that is not directed to the affected body part, but on changing the central neural representation of the body part. The interesting thing is that many and varied approaches may contribute to this: cognitions, pills, sensory stimulation, exercises and even meditatie.8 Some examples:

Cognition: someone change their minds, for example, explain that pain is a false alarm (CRPS), that pain is useful (baring), that there is nothing wrong with the affected hand or foot, the pain system in the brains 'set incorrectly' is . Recent studies clearly show that ideas and expectations largely perception, or determine the pain: placebo and nocebo effect.9

Normalizing movement patterns (immobilization may have led to neural sensitization). The function is central (one leg is to walk along); there is a brain recognizable input, sensitization can be reversed. Also train of a motor skill, a reorganization of the pain system bewerkstelligen.10

The row examples currently grows steadily: motor imaging (mentally performing movements), mirror therapy, numerous pacing therapies (massage, acupuncture, TENS) and, last but not least, the favorable impact of the environmental context (light, views, friendly staff ) .11-13

We now know that not only somatic but also psychological and social factors play an important role in the development of chronic pain and the brains in this all play a prominent role: no pain no brain. The brain appears to be much more plastic than we ever thought and that offers unexpected possibilities.

Although evidence from RCTs (randomized controlled trial) is sometimes nice to questionable therapies, medical progress is mainly driven by the evolution of ideas and rarely by RCTs. We think about notable events, which can bring something valuable. An RCT may be an "icing on the cake; the 'i' was, however, even without tip already read.
