  • Disability Friends Club

    Written by philliptapper on 28 April 2010

    There doesn't seem to be many disability Friends clubs for people with mild/moderate learning difficulties in reading so I thought about creating one!This disability friends Club is for young & old people aged between 18-100 who have mild learning difficulty and or a mild physical disability Members that are likely to live alone and live pretty independent lives.The meet ups will normally be based in Reading town centre in pubs and coffee shops near to Reading bus and train station for easy accessibility. We'll probably do things like bowling as well, but mostly we'll just organize our meet-ups at local pubs or something and also we will also start a disability loan club Just for disabled members and organized day trips to various location, and have a picnic the park, etc.. also there is a membership fee £20 Pounds and membership Form I've created which I will print out and bring to the 1st meet up. http://disabilityfriendsclub.webs.com/

  • Magnetic Therapy - Alternative Treatment

    Written by johnnydiamond on 07 December 2009

    Magnetic therapy has become an increasingly popular method of alternative treatments for common ailments and other afflictions. The most commonly treated ailments for which magnetic therapy is used for are arthritis, pain, inflammation, muscle tension, migraines, tumors, asthma, allergies, diabetes and many other joints or healing complaints.Magnetic therapy has been found in ancient Chinese medical texts and even in some Hindu religious documents. The Egyptians, Romans and Greeks have also used magnetic therapy to treat a variety of ailments from arthritis to depression. In today’s world millions of people are turning to magnetic therapy to treat a wide range of medical conditions, from your average person to many professional athletes.Many alternative practitioners believe that magnets really do have healing power and state that the latest research indicates that magnetic therapy really does work. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas performed a controlled study by using real magnets and fake magnets on patients who suffered leg pain from post-polio syndrome. In this study, 76% of the patients who were treated with the real magnet felt relief from the pain, whereas 18% of the patients treated with the fake magnet felt pain relief.

  • Weight Loss Pills - Magic Or Disaster

    Written by john435 on 07 November 2009

    How many times did you see advertisements for weight loss pills on television or any other media? I think we all watch these ads or read articles about these magical pills with shiny promises to lose weight in extremely short period. So, do they really work? Or are they just another kind of weight loss delusions?weight loss pills are divided into three major categories which are: Loss of appetite pills Pills that burn externally supplied fat Pills that burn stored body fat- Loss of appetite pills:This is the most dangerous type as it performs its action via affecting hunger and satiety centers in brain and always lead to: Increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, nervousness, depression and insomnia.- Externally supplied fat burning pills:Usually taken before meals, but they are with no benefits actually. However, they might be beneficial after losing weight to help in keeping the body slim and must be used for at least six months.- Stored fat burning pills:They are either effective or harmful. Effective pills perform their action via causing shrinkage of fatty cells in body and then complete melting of these cells. While harmful pills cause shrinkage of fatty cells without destroying them completely and this will leave the body susceptible to gain back this lost weight whenever the vitality of these fatty cells is restored.According to what we just discussed, you must choose carefully which type of pills you use and also must read carefully the principle of action of whatever you choose. However, I prefer the natural weight loss via regulating eating through effective diet plans.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=EL_Sayed_Adel
