			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is Compression Therapy?</h2>
<p><strong>Compression therapy</strong> provides you with the necessary support to maintain and enhance your lifestyle<br />
Whether it’s being engaged in daily activities or spending time doing the things you really love, like traveling, being outdoors or participating in your favorite hobbies,  you can continue to engage in daily activities while receiving the therapeutic benefits of compression.</p>
<p><strong>Compression stockings</strong> are used to support the venous and lymphatic systems of the leg.<sup> </sup> They offer graduated compression where maximum compression is achieved at the ankle and decreases as you move up the leg. This compression, when combined with the muscle pump effect of the calf, aids in circulating blood and lymph fluid through the legs.<span id="more-419"></span></p>
<p>Compression garments are categorized by classes. These classes consist of compression ranges, which are measured in mmHg&#8212;meaning millimeters of mercury, the universal form of measurement used for this type of garment.</p>
<h2>Wearing Compression Stockings</h2>
<p>Today, compression stockings are available in a wide range of opacities, colors, styles and sizes, making them virtually indistinguishable from regular hosiery or socks. You can even find lace thigh-high compression stockings, for special occasions. No one will know the difference!</p>
<p>The first few times you wear your compression garment you will notice the squeeze. It is OK to begin wearing your stockings gradually. Try wearing them for just a few hours the first day and then increase the number of hours each day until you can wear them comfortably throughout the day while you are up and about. Check your stockings periodically to smooth out any wrinkles as the fabric may move during the day. Remove your stockings before going to bed.</p>
<h2>How do compression stockings help?</h2>
<p>Calf-length compression stockings with a pressure range between 11 and 21 mmHg are able to reduce or totally prevent evening swelling of the feet (evening edema) and are recommended for people with a profession connected with long periods of sitting or standing.</p>
<h2>When Is Compression Therapy Recommended?</h2>
<p>Blood Clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis)<br />
Mild Swelling<br />
Moderate Swelling<br />
Severe Swelling<br />
Spider Veins<br />
Varicose Veins<br />
Venous Insufficiency<br />
Tired, Aching Legs<br />
Pregnancy DVT Prevention / Travel<br />
Neuropathy<br />
Diabetes<br />
Post-Sclerotherapy<br />
Venous Ulcers<br />
Stasis Dermatitis<br />
Lymphedema</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.medicinezine.com/aclens" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-413" style="margin-left: 5px;margin-right: 5px" title="Types of contact lenses" src="http://www.medicinezine.com/files/2010/01/contact-lenses-300x225.jpg" alt="Types of contact lenses" width="300" height="225" /></a>There are two general categories of contact lenses – soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP). All contact lenses require a valid prescription.</p>
<p><strong>Soft Contact Lenses<br />
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses<br />
Extended Wear Contact Lenses<br />
Disposable (Replacement Schedule) Contact Lenses<br />
Decorative (Plano) Contact Lenses</strong><span id="more-408"></span></p>
<p>-</p>
<h2>Soft Contact Lenses</h2>
<p>Soft contact lenses are made of soft, flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. Soft contact lenses may be easier to adjust to and are more comfortable than rigid gas permeable lenses. Newer soft lens materials include silicone-hydrogels to provide more oxygen to your eye while you wear your lenses.</p>
<h2>Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses</h2>
<p>Rigid gas permeable contact lenses (RGPs) are more durable and resistant to deposit buildup, and generally give a clearer, crisper vision. They tend to be less expensive over the life of the lens since they last longer than soft contact lenses. They are easier to handle and less likely to tear. However, they are not as comfortable initially as soft contacts and it may take a few weeks to get used to wearing RGPs, compared to several days for soft contacts.</p>
<h2>Extended Wear Contact Lenses</h2>
<p>Extended wear contact lenses are available for overnight or continuous wear ranging from one to six nights or up to 30 days. Extended wear contact lenses are usually soft contact lenses. They are made of flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. There are also a very few rigid gas permeable lenses that are designed and approved for overnight wear. Length of continuous wear depends on lens type and your eye care professional’s evaluation of your tolerance for overnight wear. It’s important for the eyes to have a rest without lenses for at least one night following each scheduled removal.</p>
<h2>Disposable (Replacement Schedule) Contact Lenses</h2>
<p>The majority of soft contact lens wearers are prescribed some type of frequent replacement schedule. “Disposable,” as defined by the FDA, means used once and discarded. With a true daily wear disposable schedule, a brand new pair of lenses is used each day.</p>
<p>Some soft contact lenses are referred to as “disposable” by contact lens sellers, but actually, they are for frequent/planned replacement. With extended wear lenses, the lenses may be worn continuously for the prescribed wearing period (for example, 7 days to 30 days) and then thrown away. When you remove your lenses, make sure to clean and disinfect them properly before reinserting.</p>
<h2>Decorative (Plano) Contact Lenses - Colored lenses</h2>
<p>Some contact lenses do not correct vision and are intended solely to change the appearance of the eye. These are sometimes called plano, zero-powered or non-corrective lenses.</p>
<p>For example, they can temporarily change a brown-eyed person’s eye color to blue, or make a person’s eyes look “weird” by portraying Halloween themes. Even though these decorative lenses don’t correct vision, they’re regulated by the FDA, just like corrective contact lenses. They also carry the same risks to the eye. These risks include:</p>
<p>If you’re considering getting decorative contact lenses, you should:</p>
<ul>
<li>get an eye exam from a licensed eye care professional</li>
<li>get a valid prescription that includes the brand and lens dimensions</li>
<li>follow directions for cleaning, disinfection, and wearing the lenses, and visit your eye care professional for follow-up eye exams</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Contact lenses are the number one choice for many people with vision correction needs. For many, contact lenses provide flexibility and convenience. There are many different lenses available for a variety of needs and preferences. Contact lenses can be used to correct a variety of vision disorders such as Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness), Astigmatism, and Presbyopia (poor focusing with reading material and other near vision tasks).</p>
<p>Buying contact lenses directly over the Internet with a valid contact lens prescription is a great way to have your contacts delivered conveniently to your door. But you should also be careful of several things.<span id="more-402"></span></p>
<p>The following questions and answers should help you take simple precautions to make your purchase safe and effective.</p>
<h2>What do I need to consider when buying contact lenses?</h2>
<ul>
<li>Is your contact lens prescription current? You should always have a current, valid prescription when you order contact lenses.</li>
<li>If you have not had a check-up in the last one to two years, you may have problems with your eyes that you are not aware of, or your contact lenses may not correct your vision well.</li>
<li>The expiration date for your prescription is currently set by your state. Some require a one-year renewal, some a two-year renewal. If your state has not set a minimum expiration date, Federal regulation sets a one year date unless your eye care professional determines that there’s a medical reason for less than one year.</li>
<li>To be sure that your eyes remain healthy you should not order lenses with a prescription that has expired or stock up on lenses right before the prescription is about to expire. It’s safer to be re-checked by your eye care professional.</li>
</ul>
<h2>What does a valid contact lens prescription include?</h2>
<p>As defined by FTC regulations, a prescription should contain sufficient information for a seller to completely and accurately fill the prescription. This includes the following items:</p>
<ul>
<li>Patient’s name</li>
<li>Examination date</li>
<li>Date patient receives prescription after a contact lens fitting (issue date) and expiration date of prescription</li>
<li>Name, address, phone number and fax number of prescriber</li>
<li>Power</li>
<li>Material and/or manufacturer of the prescribed contact lens</li>
<li>Base curve or appropriate designation of the prescribed contact lens</li>
<li>Diameter, when appropriate, of the prescribed contact lens</li>
<li>For a private label contact lens, the name of the manufacturer, trade name of the private label brand, and if applicable, trade name of equivalent brand name</li>
</ul>
<h2>What can I do to avoid serious problems when buying my contact lenses?</h2>
<h3>Don&#8217;t Take A Chance on Using an Old Contact Lens Prescription!</h3>
<p>Ask your eye doctor how often you should have check-ups. See the doctor regularly. The check-ups give your doctor a chance to check the fit of your lenses and change your prescription as your eyes change. Lenses that don&#8217;t fit can hurt your eyes.</p>
<p>Always contact your doctor for advice. A doctor can see early signs of damage that can lead to serious problems, even blindness. You may not notice these signs in their early stages.</p>
<h2>Buying contact lenses</h2>
<ul>
<li>Order your contact lenses from a supplier you know is reliable. Contact lenses are often more complex than they appear.</li>
<li>Request the manufacturer’s written patient information for your contact lenses. It will give you important risk/benefit information as well as instructions for use.</li>
<li>Beware of attempts to substitute a different brand than you presently have. While this may be acceptable in some situations, there are differences in the water content and shape between different brands. The correct choice of which lens is right for you should be based only on an examination by your eye care professional, not over the phone.</li>
<li>Carefully check to make sure the company gives you the
<ul>
<li>exact brand</li>
<li>lens name</li>
<li>power
<ul>
<li>sphere</li>
<li>cylinder, if any</li>
<li>axis, if any</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>diameter</li>
<li>base curve</li>
<li>peripheral curves, if any</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you think you have received an incorrect lens, check with your eye care professional. Don’t accept a substitution unless your eye care professional approves it. </p>

Anyone can get it, and as you get older, the likelihood of your developing high blood pressure increases. If you are overweight or obese or if you have diabetes, the odds are even higher.

Alistrol is truly different blood-pressure reducing supplement — is not your run-of-the-mill blood-pressure supplement.<p><a href="http://medicinezine.com/general-health/heart-and-blood/high-blood-pressure/">High blood pressure treatments.

<p>Anyone can get it, and as you get older, the likelihood of your developing high blood pressure increases. If you are overweight or obese or if you have diabetes, the odds are even higher.</p>
<h2>What is considered high blood pressure?</h2>
<p>A blood pressure level of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered high. About two-thirds of people over age 65 have high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg, then you have prehypertension. This means that you don&#8217;t have high blood pressure now but are likely to develop it in the future. You can take steps to prevent high blood pressure by adopting a healthy lifestyle.<span id="more-322"></span></p>
<h2>High blood pressure causes</h2>
<p>The causes of high blood pressure vary. Causes may include narrowing of the arteries, a greater than normal volume of blood, or the heart beating faster or more forcefully than it should. Any of these conditions will cause increased pressure against the artery walls. High blood pressure might also be caused by another medical problem. Most of the time, the cause is not known. Although high blood pressure usually cannot be cured, in most cases it can be prevented and controlled.</p>
<h2>High blood pressure symptoms</h2>
<p>High blood pressure is called “the silent killer” because there often are no symptoms. Your numbers are your only warning. Some patients do experience the typical signs of high blood pressure:<br />
- headache<br />
- dizziness<br />
- pounding in the ears<br />
- bloody nose</p>
<p>If you can just picture pressure in your head, then you would remember the signs of high blood pressure.</p>
<h2>Systolic and diastolic high blood pressure</h2>
<p>Systolic pressure is the force of blood in the arteries as the heart beats. It is shown as the top number in a blood pressure reading. High blood pressure is 140 and higher for systolic pressure. Systolic high blood pressure is the most common form in middle-aged or older people.</p>
<p>Diastolic pressure is the force of blood in the arteries as the heart relaxes between beats. It&#8217;s shown as the bottom number in a blood pressure reading.</p>
<p>The diastolic blood pressure has been and remains, especially for younger people, an important hypertension number. The higher the diastolic blood pressure the greater the risk for heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. As people become older, the diastolic pressure will begin to decrease and the systolic blood pressure begins to rise and becomes more important.</p>

<h2>High blood pressure medicine</h2>
<p>There are several meds that can lower blood pressure. The one chosen depends on such things as: if you have other medical problems; if you take other medication; possible side-effects of the drug; your age; your ethnic origin; etc. Some medicines work well in some people, and not so well in others. One or two drugs may be tried before one is found to suit.</p>
<p>One medicine reduces high blood pressure to the target level in less than half of cases. It is common to need two or more different types to reduce high blood pressure to a target level. In about a third of cases, three medicines or more are needed to get blood pressure to the target level. In some cases, despite treatment, the target level is not reached. However, although to reach a target level is ideal, you will benefit from any reduction in blood pressure.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Gene Smart test uses the HS-Omega-3 Index ® methodology, which is the same methodology used in the clinical studies that validated the correlation between the Omega-3 Index and heart disease risk.

 The Gene Smart Omega-3 Index gives you a direct indicator of whether you are getting enough Omega-3s in your diet to impart maximum protection from heart disease. If your Omega-3 Index is below the optimum level, you can decrease your risk by adding more Omega-3s to your diet through fish or Omega-3 Fish Oil supplements.

The Omega-3 Index is thought to be an independent risk factor that is not influenced by other risk factors like cholesterol or blood pressure.  All risk factors, including the Omega-3 Index should be addressed as part of an overall approach to reducing heart health risk.<p><a href="http://medicinezine.com/general-health/heart-and-blood/omega-3-index-home-blood-test-kit/">Omega 3 Index Home Blood Test Kit</a> is a post from: <a href="http://medicinezine.com">Medicinezine.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While scientists have long known the benefits of omega-3s for overall health, over the past decade research has proven that fish and fish oil dramatically reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and that omega-3 levels are among the best predictors of future coronary heart disease. </p>
<p>The <a title="Omega 3 Index Home Blood Test Kit" href="http://medicinezine.com/omega3indextest" target="_blank">Omega-3 Index </a>measures the amount of EPA and DHA omega-3s in red blood cells and is expressed as a percent of total fatty acids.   The results of the test are represented by a score that can be used to assess you risk of heart disease, with a score of 4% or less indicating higher risk and a score of 8% or more indicating relatively low risk.</p>
<p>The <a title="Omega 3 Index Home Blood Test Kit" href="http://medicinezine.com/omega3indextest" target="_blank">Omega-3 Index </a> has been shown to be a better predictor of heart disease, and especially sudden cardiac death, than traditional coronary heart disease risk factors including LDL and HDL cholesterol.  Individuals with a high Index have a decrease in the relative risk for sudden cardiac death by as much as 90%.<span id="more-324"></span></p>
<p>The science behind the <a title="Omega 3 Index Home Blood Test Kit" href="http://medicinezine.com/omega3indextest" target="_blank">Omega-3 Index </a> has been validated by data from large-scale human clinical studies including the Physicians&#8217; Health Study (PHS), which involved 14,916 healthy male physicians.  In these studies the Omega-3 Index was clearly related to risk of having a heart attack.</p>
<p>Your <a title="Omega 3 Index Home Blood Test Kit" href="http://medicinezine.com/omega3indextest" target="_blank">Omega-3 Index </a> cannot be predicted with certainty without analyzing your blood.  Many factors including age, sex, weight, dietary and genetic factors, smoking, medications you may be taking, other medical conditions, as well as the source and quality of omega-3s and how they are consumed, can all influence your body’s response to EPA and DHA in your diet.</p>
<h2>The Gene Smart Omega 3 Index test</h2>
<h3>Gene Smart is the first to make the <a title="Omega 3 Index Home Blood Test Kit" href="http://medicinezine.com/omega3indextest" target="_blank">Omega-3 Index</a> blood test available directly to individuals as a convenient, at home &#8220;finger stick&#8221; test that measures both your Omega 3 Index and your Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio. </h3>

<h2>What Causes Vitiligo?</h2>
<p>The cause is not known. Vitiligo may be an autoimmune disease. These diseases happen when your immune system mistakenly attacks some part of your own body. In vitiligo, the immune system may destroy the melanocytes in the skin. It is also possible that one or more genes may make a person more likely to get the disorder.</p>
<p>Some researchers think that the melanocytes destroy themselves. Others think that a single event such as sunburn or emotional distress can cause vitiligo. But these events have not been proven to cause vitiligo.</p>
<p>Will the White Patches Spread?<br />
There is no way to tell if vitiligo will spread. For some people, the white patches do not spread. But often the white patches will spread to other areas of the body. For some people, vitiligo spreads slowly, over many years. For other people, spreading occurs quickly. Some people have reported more white patches after physical or emotional stress.</p>
<h2>What are the treatments for vitiligo?</h2>
<p><span id="more-286"></span>Unfortunately, due to the nature of the condition, a cure is not available. Vitiligo treatment may help make the skin look better. The choice of treatment depends on:</p>
<p>•The number of white patches<br />
•How widespread the patches are<br />
•The treatment the person prefers to use.<br />
Some treatments are not right for everyone. Many treatments can have unwanted side effects. Treatments can take a long time, and sometimes they don&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>Current treatment options for vitiligo include medical, surgical, and other treatments. Most treatments are either costly or have some serious side effects and take a lot of time.</p>
<h3>Medical treatments for vitiligo include:</h3>
<p>•Medicines (such as steroid creams) that you put on the skin &#8211; Long-term use of steroid creams can cause side-effects which include thinning of the skin and stretch marks. Steroids work partly by suppressing the immune system (which probably attack the melanocytes).<br />
•Medicines that you take by mouth<br />
•A treatment that uses medicine plus ultraviolet A (UVA) light (PUVA) &#8211; However, it is time-consuming, and care must be taken to avoid side effects, which can sometimes be severe.</p>
<p>Treatments are done in a doctor&#8217;s office under artificial UVA light once or twice a week. The doctor or nurse applies a thin coat of psoralen to your white patches about 30 minutes before exposing you to enough UVA light to turn the affected area pink. The doctor usually increases the dose of UVA light slowly over many weeks. Eventually, the pink areas fade and a more normal skin color appears. After each treatment, you wash your skin with soap and water and apply a sunscreen before leaving the doctor&#8217;s office.</p>
<p>There are two major potential side effects of topical PUVA therapy: (1) severe sunburn and blistering and (2) too much repigmentation or darkening (hyperpigmentation) of the treated patches or the normal skin surrounding the vitiligo.</p>
<p>Sunburn, nausea, vomiting, itching, abnormal hair growth and overdarkening of the skin are potential short-term side effects of oral PUVAt, whether it&#8217;s done in the doctor&#8217;s office or using natural sun. Your risk of skin cancer may be increased if you use this therapy long term.</p>
<p>•Removing the color from other areas so they match the white patches &#8211; complete depigmenting of all the skin on he body &#8211; only done in extreme cases of vitiligo.</p>
<h3>Surgical treatments for vitiligo include:</h3>
<p>•Skin grafts from a person&#8217;s own tissues. The doctor takes skin from one area of a patient&#8217;s body and attaches it to another area. This is sometimes used for people with small patches of vitiligo.<br />
•Tattooing small areas of skin.</p>
<h2>How does vitiligo affect people psychologically?</h2>
<p>It can be extremely painful for people with vitiligo to go out in public. The executive director of the Vitiligo foundatuion says:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When was the last time you saw someone with vitiligo handling your food? It is the public&#8217;s image that it is some leprosy-type of disease,&#8221; he says. &#8220;A lot of folks feel this disease has trapped them and kept them away from their life goals.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h2>The good news?</h2>
<p>Herbal treatments are a proven way of vitiligo. These treatments are based on Psoralens. Psoralen occurs naturally and sensitizes human skin to the tanning effect of sun light by enhancing pigmentation.</p>
<h2>Anti vitiligo oil review:</h2>
<p><strong>One product stands out in the treatment of vitiligo by getting rid of white patches and regaining pigmentation of the skin &#8211; <strong><a title="Vitiligo treatment. Anti vitiligo oil" href="http://medicinezine.com/antivitiligo">Anti-Vitiligo Oil</a></strong>.</strong></p>

2- Psoralea Coryli Folia &#8211; a rich source of naturally occurring psoralen which is a time tested treatment of the white skin patches of vitiligo.<br />
3- Black cumin &#8211; Black cumin is the layman name for seeds of Nigella sativa. Seeds of Nigella sativa have also been have an immuno-modulatory as well as anti cancer effect<br />
4- Barberry Root &#8211; It contains for example the alkaloids like berbamine, berberine, and oxyacanthine. Other compounds include tannins, chelidonic acid and resins.

<p>Conclusion:</p>
<p>While researchers continue their work in the field of auto-immune diseases and stress as a cause for vitiligo and until they can find the cause, the best we can do is treat the symptom.</p>
<p>Antivitiligo oil is the closest we have come to finding a vitiligo treatment. It is highly effective and reaches near permanent pigmentation of the white patches on most patients.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What causes urinary incontinence? There are many reasons why a woman may leak urine. Sometimes it's caused by an illness, in which case bladder control returns when the illness goes away. For example, bladder infections and infections in the vagina can cause incontinence for a short time. Being unable to have a bowel movement or taking certain medicines also may make it hard to control your bladder.Sometimes incontinence is an ongoing problem, in which case the cause might be:

    * the bladder cannot empty completely

<h2>What causes urinary incontinence?</h2>
<p>There are many reasons why a woman may leak urine. Sometimes it&#8217;s caused by  an illness, in which case bladder control returns when the illness goes away.  For example, bladder infections and infections in the vagina can cause  incontinence for a short time. Being unable to have a bowel movement or taking  certain medicines also may make it hard to control your bladder.</p>
<p>Sometimes incontinence is an ongoing problem, in which case the cause might  be:</p>
<ul>
<li>the bladder cannot empty completely</li>
<li>weakening of the muscles that help to hold or release urine</li>
<li>a blocked urinary passage</li>
<li>damage to the nerves that control the bladder</li>
</ul>
<p>Sometimes, diseases such as arthritis make it hard to get to the bathroom in  time and can make it even harder to control urine leakage.<span id="more-254"></span></p>
<h2>How common is urinary incontinence?</h2>
<p>More than 13 million Americans — male and female, young and old — have  incontinence. Women are more likely to leak urine than men.</p>
<p>Older women have more bladder control problems than younger women. But loss  of bladder control does not have to happen as you age.</p>
<h2>Types of urinary incontinence</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stress incontinence</strong> — leakage happens with coughing, sneezing,  exercising, laughing, lifting heavy things, and other movements that put  pressure on the bladder. It is the most common type of incontinence. It can be  treated and sometimes cured.</li>
<li><strong>Urge incontinence</strong> — this is sometimes called &#8220;overactive bladder.&#8221;  Leakage usually happens after a strong, sudden urge to urinate. The sudden urge  may occur when you don&#8217;t expect it, such as during sleep, after drinking water,  or when you hear running water or touch it.</li>
<li><strong>Functional incontinence</strong> — leaking because you can&#8217;t get to a toilet  in time. People with this type of incontinence may have problems thinking,  moving, or speaking that keep them from reaching a toilet. For example, a person  with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease may not plan a trip to the bathroom in time to urinate.  A person in a wheelchair may be unable to get to a toilet in time.</li>
<li><strong>Overflow incontinence</strong> — leaking urine because the bladder doesn&#8217;t  empty completely. Overflow incontinence is less common in women.</li>
<li><strong>Mixed incontinence</strong> — two or more types of incontinence together, most  often stress and urge incontinence.</li>
<li><strong>Transient incontinence</strong> — leaking urine for a short time due to an  illness such as a bladder infection. Leaking stops when the illness is treated.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Little things you can do for urge incontinence:</h2>
<p>- <strong>Monitor fluid intake</strong>. There are myths that it is good for incontinence sufferers to drink eight 8oz of water a day. But there is no rigorous study to support that and if you have a bladder that is already a little irritated and prone leaking, chances are that that much water will make things worse. The best thing to do is limit fluid intake to 4 oz an hour while you’re awake.<br />
- <strong>Try regular bathroom visits.</strong> Look at the clock, don’t wait until you have a strong urge because when you do have a strong urge, it is most times too late. Try going say every 2 hours to prevent your bladder from getting too full<br />
- <strong>Medications</strong> – there are some medications that relax the bladder. In about 2 thirds of people that take them, there is about 75 percent improvement.<br />
- <strong>Don’t try to hold it. </strong>The minute you feel that you might need to go, just go, even if you are in the middle of doing something.</p>

<h2>Dust Mites</h2>
</div>
<p>Dust mites are tiny microscopic relatives of the spider and live on  mattresses, bedding, upholstered furniture, carpets and curtains.</p>
<p>You lose a liter of body moisture every night, creating a perfect breeding  ground in your mattress for bacteria and dust mites. The dust mite is found in  every home, particularly in bedding, mattresses and under sheets where they  thrive in large numbers.</p>
<p>They eat microscopic flakes of human skin which  we shed every night during our sleep. Your mattress can&#8217;t be washed, and, if  unprotected, its inhabitants and dust can cause various allergies such as  asthma, runny nose, watery eyes, morning congestion, eczema and hay fever.</p>
<p>No matter how clean a home is, dust mites cannot be totally eliminated.  However, the number of mites can be reduced by following the suggestions  below.<span id="more-248"></span></p>
<h2>Preventive Strategies</h2>
<ul>
<li>Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to maintain relative humidity at about  50% or below.</li>
<li>Encase your mattress and pillows in dust-proof or allergen impermeable  covers, more commonly known as dust mite covers.</li>
<li>Wash all bedding and blankets once a week in hot water (at least 130 &#8211;  140°F) to kill dust mites. Non-washable bedding can be frozen overnight to kill  dust mites.</li>
<li>Replace wool or feathered bedding with synthetic materials and traditional  stuffed animals with washable ones.</li>
<li>If possible, replace wall-to-wall carpets in bedrooms with bare floors  (linoleum, tile or wood) and remove fabric curtains and upholstered  furniture.</li>
<li>Use a damp mop or rag to remove dust. Never use a dry cloth since this just  stirs up mite allergens.</li>
<li>Use a vacuum cleaner with either a double-layered microfilter bag or a HEPA  filter to trap allergens that pass through a vacuum&#8217;s exhaust.</li>
<li>Wear a mask while vacuuming to avoid inhaling allergens, and stay out of the  vacuumed area for 20 minutes to allow any dust and allergens to settle after  vacuuming.</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>Common house dust may contain asthma triggers. When you are treating  your house for dust mites, try these simple steps as well.</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>Remove dust often with a damp cloth.</li>
<li>Vacuum carpet and fabric-covered furniture to reduce dust build-up.</li>
<li>Using vacuums with high efficiency filters or central vacuums may be  helpful.</li>
<li>People with asthma or allergies should leave the area being vacuumed.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Unprotected Mattresses</h2>
<blockquote><p>As many as 2 million mites have been counted in  unprotected mattresses and it only takes 4 months for an unprotected mattress to  become infested.</p></blockquote>

<p>Thousands of men and women of almost every age have completely reversed any tinnitus issues they had and got rid of the ringing sounds in their ears naturally, without drugs, risky surgery or &#8220;magic potions&#8221; simply by using the clinically proven, scientifically-accurate step by step method found inside this amazing Tinnitus guidebook.</p>
<p>Thomas Coleman, a certified nutritionist, health consultant and author has not just pumped out yet another &#8220;Tinnitus program&#8221; into an already over-saturated market. Thomas&#8217;s Tinnitus Miracle can be more accurately described as an &#8220;Tinnitus Bible.&#8221; It is quite simply one of the most comprehensive, complete, and precise guides to tinnitus freedom you will ever read. What makes it so much different than other Tinnitus publications on the market?</p>
<p>Well first of all, <strong>it&#8217;s not just a &#8220;tinnitus help&#8221; program, it&#8217;s a tinnitus cure program</strong>. This may seem like semantics or wordplay at first, but once you&#8217;ve read just the first chapters, there will be no doubt in your mind <span id="more-239"></span>that pursuing &#8220;help with your Tinnitus&#8221; is not only the wrong goal, it may be the reason that you&#8217;ve failed to get rid of the ringing sounds in your ears until now. Tinnitus Miracle shows you exactly why you should fix the internal problem that&#8217;s hindering your chances of getting rid of the tormenting sounds in your ears  and then goes on to show you exactly how to do it.</p>
<p>Secondly, what makes Tinnitus Miracle different is <strong>the amount of attention that is paid to each and every element</strong> required to get rid of the  sounds in your ears the natural way. Tinnitus Miracle not only thoroughly discusses the lies, myths and fallacies surrounding a very confusing subject, it is simply the most detailed book about Tinnitus and holistic health ever written.</p>
<p>The Tinnitus Miracle book is quite <strong>extensive</strong> (250 pages of rock solid content) which focuses on 100% natural method for getting rid of the sounds in your ears quickly. That means there aren&#8217;t recommendations for harsh prescription drugs, white noise, or surgeries with nasty side effects. In Tinnitus Miracle core formula section (The 3 step system) &#8211; Nothing is held back. In this section, Thomas gives a detailed overview of each step, and then dives into the specifics in a perfect chronological order. There are also outstanding charts and checklists which make it very easy to know where you are at in the program and follow it.</p>
<p>Because the Tinnitus Miracle program is not a quick fix ‘fairy tale’ cure but a <strong>complete holistic solution </strong>aimed at eliminating the root cause of tinnitus problems(regardless of your age) and ensure your will get rid of the sounds in your ears quickly, it does take work and persistence to complete. &#8220;The dictionary is the only place success comes before work&#8221; says Thomas, as he emphasizes the &#8220;no quick fix&#8221; philosophy behind the entire book.</p>
<p>If there is any drawback to the Tinnitus Miracle ebook, it&#8217;s that it contains so much information, that some readers may find it a bit overwhelming. Those who are looking for a quick start type of Tinnitus program, might be a bit intimated at first. The good part however, is that even these types of readers can feel confident and assured that it will be worth the effort because this will literally be the last book they ever have to buy on the subject.</p>
<h2>Who will benefit most from Tinnitus Miracle?</h2>
<p>In the broadest sense, anyone and everyone who wants to get rid of the  sounds in their ears naturally and regain their natural inner balance will benefit from Tinnitus Miracle. This ebook is honestly for everyone. Even people without tinnitus issues. This is a total health rejuvenation program better than 98% of the nutrition and alternative health books on the market.</p>
<p>In terms of graphic design, Tinnitus Miracle is a clean and professionally formatted PDF e-book. It is well organized and ideal for printing and reading in the comfort of your own home.</p>
<p>This impressive and unique publication has changed many lives and the hundreds of inspiring testimonials and success stories are found on the Tinnitus Miracle website archives as proof.</p>
<h2>The Bottom line?</h2>
<p>Anyone looking for a quick fix solution to getting rid of the sounds in their ears, anyone looking to be told fairy-tales, and anyone looking for a &#8220;magic bullet&#8221;, pills, over the counters, &#8216;cure tinnitus in 2 weeks&#8217; hyped up programs should not waste his or her time with Tinnitus Miracle.</p>
<p>On the other hand, anyone searching for the truth about Tinnitus and alternative health and who is ready and willing to put in some work and make the lifestyle changes necessary to get rid of the  sounds in their ears fast will find Tinnitus Miracle to be one of the best investments they ever made in their lives. <a title="Tinnitus miracle.

Persons  suffering from Pulsatile Tinnitus can hear their own heartbeats while Somatic  Tinnitus resonances lie outside the ear, probably beyond the cochlear nerves and  is believed to arise from <em>central  crosstalk </em>within the grey matters. Chronic Sinusitis Tinnitus could be a  nasty customer, being caused by thickened mucus trapped within the middle ear  space from which it is difficult to drain the mucus out.<span id="more-224"></span></p>
<h2>What are the causes of Tinnitus?</h2>
<p>Here are some of the underlying causes of  tinnitus…</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong><em>Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Disease </em></strong>in which the arteries become narrowed due to heavy cholesterol buildup  that result in uneven blood flow to the head and neck area. This gives rise to  agonizing heartbeat sounds that can be heard in the ears of the tinnitus  patient. Mostly associated with elderly patients having history of diabetes,  hypertension, angina pectoris as well as persistent high blood pressure. <strong><em> </em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Benign Intracranial hypertension </em></strong>may also cause Tinnitus (Pulsatile?). This is exemplified by heightened  pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid that covers the brain. Usual victims are  young obese females. <strong><em> </em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Damaged nerve, </em></strong>particularly the nerve that runs between the brain and the ear. <strong><em> </em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Glomus tumor </em></strong>that consists of bunches of tissues and entangled blood vessels in the  ear or the immediate surrounding area can become a cause of tinnitus. Young  people often opt for surgical help while surgery is not recommended for the  elderly as these tumors are extremely slow in growth.<strong><em> </em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Intracranial vascular lesion </em></strong>often causes tinnitus of aneurism and arteri-venous malformation or  deformity that is usually typified by abnormal or irregular connection between  the artery and the vein. This often results in arterial blood entering straight  into the vein without going through the capillaries. The situation, as may be  appreciated is rather grave, not only resulting in Tinnitus but also turning  towards hemorrhage in the brain causing fatal consequences.<strong><em> </em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Middle ear effusion</em></strong><em> </em>generally causes Pulsatile Tinnitus in middle aged patients.  Accumulation of excess fluid in the middle ear due to inflammation in the  Eustachian tubes causing blockage of the escape route and infection in the  middle ear and further collection f fluid there gives rise unusual noise in the  ear resembling pulse beats.<strong><em> </em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Meniere’s Disease </em></strong>is one of the commonest causes of tinnitus. It is related to a host of  inner ear disorders, believed to be triggered by nonconforming inner ear fluid  pressure.<strong><em> </em></strong></li>
<li>In many cases, when so specific cause for tinnitus can be found after  hearing tests are carried out, the blame can be put on <strong>depression and  stress</strong>.</li>
<li><strong><em>Acoustic Neuroma </em></strong>that consists of a benign tumor is often found responsible for causing  this disorder. It usually occurs on the cranial nerve that runs from the brain  to the inner ear and interferes with controlling of balance, giving rise to  vertigo and related complications. Also known as Vestibular Schwannoma, it  affects only one ear in most cases.<strong><em> </em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Incessant exposure to earsplitting noise </em></strong>is considered as the commonest cause for tinnitus.<strong><em> </em></strong></li>
