    Slimming Issues….

    One afternoon I saw my clinical instructor who used to be "fat" but now became so sexy. She is now like a teenager even if she’s already in her early thirties. Before, her waistline is 32 inches and the amazing thing there is it reduced to 27 inches in just a  few months of consistent  NUGA bed and slimming belt. Many of us became interested to try it and our Clinical Instructor advised us to experience the NUGA bed and slimming belt once or thrice a week within two to six months. We can see the effect after in just one or two session. I really wanna try this for me to finally say goodbye to my fats. So you wanna try?

 The following things you must know about the NUGABEST….

    Just as a tree needs a strong root system in order to grow properly and sustain good health, the same concept may be employed for the general well being of humans. The human root system is comprised of the Central Nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the Cardiovascular system, which are the first two to develop within the human fetus. Everything else in the body develops subsequently from these two. In conjunction with one another, they bring oxygen, water, nutrients, hormones, and Qi to every part of the body as well as excreting post-digestive substances and metabolic waste.
    When these two systems are healthy, a human being will be healthy. With clean blood vessels free from harmful accumulations and free flowing Qi allows one to improve one’s health to its optimal level, therefore allowing our bodies to function as nature intended.
    Given the many stresses we encounter daily in today’s busy society, combined with poor dietary habits and lack of exercise, most of us tend to collect plaque, cholesterol, fatty deposits, and toxins causing fat buildup and blockages of arteries and veins as well as blockages of the energetic pathways within our nervous system. We also tend to suffer from a general deterioration of the spinal column as we age. In other words, our root system begins to deteriorate and the damage done begins to undermine our overall health.

    The good news is that Nuga Best Jade Thermal Massager reaches directly to the source of these health problems, the human root system itself. As the weight of the body pushes against the bed, the helium light bulbs heat the jade rollers and emit far-infrared rays as it moves in an up and down fashion, along the sides of the spine, conforming to its natural contour. These rollers transmit a highly therapeutic form of heat and light deep into the body, possessing both massage and acupressure functions. This process accomplishes several things: First, it relaxes the muscles and tendons along the spine, allowing the vertebrae to gently and gradually align themselves. Secondly, it stimulates major acupuncture meridians within and along side the spine, causing powerful bioelectrical impulses to course along the extensive network of nerve fibers. This ultimately energizes every system and organ in the body. Blood circulation is accelerated by the heat; causing blood vessels to dilate while, at the same time, assisting in dissolving and flushing out the harmful clot factors that accumulate in the circulatory system. Additionally, the increased temperature in the back and pelvic region facilitate our bone marrow to generate healthy new blood cells. Over time, as the vital life force energy (Chi) and blood begin to flow more freely and smoothly throughout the body, one feels rejuvenated, stronger, and psychologically healthier so one can tolerate the daily strenuous high demands of the modern lifestyle.

	The Light Projector, created of ergonomic design and Nuga’s modern medical science, provides excellent help to stimulate nerves, relax muscles, and relieve fatigue. And, massage effects are also provided.
	The Far-Infrared Rays generated by Tourmanium Ceramic Disks double the effects of Moxibustion to bring about enhanced metabolism, relieving of muscle pains, and improved immunity of your body.
	The benefits of massage therapy are widely known and go well beyond simple enjoyment. Some of the effects are: relaxes the muscles and tendons, increases flexibility, reduce anxiety, improvement in insomnia, balances the muscles, increases circulation and blood oxygenation, reduces pain. Many, many more benefits have been reported.
	Nuga Best NM5000 applies massaging action on the spinal joint surfaces that often experience nerve suppression due to deformation of the vertebrae. Removing such nerve suppression helps the joints return to their proper positions. Beneficial effects from this characteristic include revitalization of various body organs, enhanced metabolism and blood circulation, as well as the removal of blood clots and body fat. Through these effects Nuga Best NM5000 helps you attain and enjoy better health. By relieving the tension built in Meridians and the muscles and tendons around the spine, NM5000 relieves fatigue, allowing you to enjoy a vibrant life.
	Tourmanium Ceramic Disks and Helium Light Bulbs generate the mystical Far-Infrared Rays, which produce results of maturation, self-cleansing, moisture control, neutralization, and resonance within your body.
	Low Frequency Pad (also called the Diet Pad) applies Auto Tens principle of health waves to control weight, decompose body fat, and improve skin beauty. This function is another advantage over competitors, limited only to Nuga Best..
	Tourmanium Ceramic is a composite stone that consists of a mixture of Tourmaline, natural Germanium, Elan and volcanic rocks. Tourmaline contains natural minerals that are easily absorbed into the human body. Germanium is called the ‘Miracle Mineral.’ Tourmanium Ceramic emits the warm heat of Far-Infrared Rays and stimulates blood circulation and cell activities in the exposed body area as well as possessing disinfecting characteristics.
	The Five-Ball Projector, designed to minimize the loss of heat and Far-Infrared Rays, can be placed on various body parts to improve blood circulation, dissolve hidden blood clots, and quickly relieve fatigue

The untold mysteries…

October 22, 2006 at 6:17 am (Facts and Trivias)

I borrowed from MSN. Call center agents, check on Fatal Familial Insomnia below. It says, just a single night of missed sleep, you can expect a day of blurred vision, difficulty concentrating and gastrointestinal distress. Just read on.

I will continue posting health related articles and success tips. Note that health and success go hand in hand. Succes is nothing if a person is sickly. We can do it!

The human body is a fantastically intricate system. Even with some of the finest minds on the planet exploring the depths of its complexity, our anatomy still holds many secrets. We are reminded of how little we really understand when strange abnormalities arise. Here is a brief look at nine remarkable—and tragic—mysteries that have stymied modern medicine.

Phineas Gage

A View Into the Brain

In September 1848, railroad foreman Phineas Gage was packing sticks of dynamite into a rock with a heavy tamping rod. The dynamite exploded, sending the 3-foot 7-inch iron rod through his left cheekbone—and out the top of his head. Incredibly, his crewmen found him fully conscious and coherent, eager to get on his feet. He was rushed to Dr. John Marlow, who inserted fingers through Gage’s head and face, touching them together, before patching up the scalp and cheek flesh of his miracle patient. Gage recovered completely.

Doctors marveled that he survived at all. But the great contribution to science came with the realization that Gage later became a more violent and angry man after the front part of his brain had been traumatized. Never before had personality been identified with a specific part of the brain. The discovery paved the way for future understanding of brain functions.

Gage ran through our minds again in 2005 when construction worker Patrick Lawler fell down a staircase carrying a nail gun. Talk show audiences were amazed to see a fully recovered Lawler describing X-ray images of a 4-inch nail standing upright above his jaw. Lawler had used Advil to put off a “toothache” for six days before he realized there was a nail in his face.

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva

The Second Skeleton

Though FOP is extremely rare, cases have been documented as far back as the 17th century. More than 300 years later, physicians are still at a loss to explain what causes soft tissue in FOP patients to turn to bone.

The earliest sign of FOP is malformed toes, such as the toes of a little girl shown here. But the real damage is done in the coming years as muscles, tendons and ligaments in the neck, back and shoulder ossify. Connective tissue in the knees, hip and elbow can also turn to bone, locking limbs permanently in position. Attempts to surgically remove the new bones results in even more bone formation.

Unfortunately, it gets worse. Although people with FOP can live into their 70s, the disease is progressive, as the “progressiva” part of the name indicates. More FOP bones grow over time, often in response to injury. With an “extra skeleton” growing in the body, the FOP patient finds it ever more difficult to move.

Synesthesia

Sensorial Crossroads

To be expressive with language, we often use metaphors that borrow from the senses: Earth tones are “warm,” and a brass section sounds “bright.” For people with synesthesia, the crossing of senses is not metaphorical but literal. Synesthetics may hear colors, see sound or smell numbers. Dr. Richard Cytowic, author of The Man Who Tasted Shapes, undertook his study after a friend cooking dinner exclaimed that “there aren’t enough points on the chicken.”

Synesthesia is not considered to be a disease (though it has not been well studied, either) and tends to affect people who are bright and colorful—er, that is, people who are intelligent and creative.

Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria

Hypersensitivity to Light

Fewer than 200 cases of congenital erythropoietic porphyria have ever been documented, and not just because physicians can’t pronounce the name. Due to a gene mutation, the skin becomes extremely sensitive to sunlight. Areas of exposed skin can become blistered and infected. Sunlight exposure can also lead to scarring, changes in skin pigmentation and increased hair growth. Such symptoms have unfairly linked people suffering from the condition with the lore of vampires and werewolves. On overcast or very cold winter days, the symptoms of congenital erythropoietic porphyria (also called erythropoietic protoporphyria) are sometimes attenuated, allowing some safe exposure to indirect sunlight.

Lithopedion

The Stone Baby

It sounds horribly tragic, but the rare medical phenomenon of the stone baby results from a process that protects a woman after a failed pregnancy.

When a fertilized egg attaches anywhere outside the uterus (an abdominal or ectopic pregnancy), the fetus may begin to grow but cannot survive. Under very rare conditions the miscarried fetus is neither expelled nor reabsorbed. Instead, it calcifies—effectively turning to “stone”—which protects the mother from infection.

Lithopedions have been mistaken for benign tumors or ignored by mothers who may not even have known they’d been pregnant. In one case, surgeons found a stone baby in a 76-year-old woman who had apparently been carrying it for 50 years.

Trimethylaminuria
