How to Perform a 'Neck Check' Self-Exam A 'neck check' is a simple procedure that can be done just about anywhere. If you have a glass of water and a mirror, you’re ready to look for symptoms of thyroid disorders. Dr. Jeffrey Mechanick, clinical professor of Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and president of the AACE, provides some painless guidelines: First, locate your thyroid gland, which is above your collarbone and below your larynx, or voice box. Don't confuse your thyroid with your Adam’s apple, which lies above the thyroid gland. Keeping your focus on this part of the neck, tip your head back, then swallow a drink of water. Look at your neck in the mirror while you swallow, checking for any static or moving bumps.

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu... Many of the farmers and their families had contracted it and many died. The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Almonds   Almonds are seeds, not nuts, and they're stuffed with vitamin E, a potent sun blocker. Volunteers who consumed 14 milligrams of the vitamin per day (about 20 almonds) and then were exposed to UV light sunburned less than those who took none. "Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that helps to protect skin cells from UV light and other environmental factors that generate cell-damaging free radicals," explains Jeffrey Dover, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University. Suitable Switch  2 Tbsp peanut butter; 1/2 cup broccoli  Carrots   Think of them as orange wonder wands-good for eyeballs, good for clearing up breakouts. Credit

What are Effective Microorganisms (EM's)?  EM stands for effective microorganisms. EM is an amazing technology discovered and developed by Dr. Teruo Higa, in the 1980‟s. The secret to EM‟s widespread success is its capacity to naturally remove harmful toxins and restore nature‟s microbial balance, whether it is on mineral, plant, animal, or human levels. EM technology has gained rapid recognition and use around the world and is now used in more than 160 countries and manufactured in more than 60 countries worldwide. There is nothing new about the technology of Effective Microorganisms. Nature has been using this technology for billions of years. The breakthrough was in creating a symbiotic alliance of beneficial microorganisms that create a chain-reaction of healthy by products. EM‟s are mixed cultures of beneficial natural fermentative microorganisms that can be applied to increase the necessary microbial diversity needed for living. The use of EM Technology has br

1. Bamboo Palm: It removes formaldahyde and is also said to act as a natural humidifier. 2. Snake Plant: It absorb nitrogen oxides and formaldahyde. 3. Areca Palm: One of the best air purifying plants for general air cleanliness. 4. Spider Plant: Great indoor plant for removing carbon monoxide and other toxins or impurities. Spider plants are one of three plants NASA deems best at removing formaldahyde from the air.

Diseases are a major hurdle in tomato cultivation, both under controlled and field conditions. Among them bacterial wilt is most devastating on tomato causing yield losses up to 90 per cent. The disease is also known as southern bacterial blight or solanaceous wilt. Rapid and complete wilting of normal grownup plants is a characteristic symptom of bacterial wilt. During warm and wet climatic conditions most conspicuous symptom of sudden drooping of leaves, without yellowing, often accompanied by rotting of the stem are seen. The roots appear healthy and well developed. Cultural management The disease can be kept under check if crop rotations are followed with crops such as maize, ragi and okra, since they can reduce the pathogen population significantly.

Magnesium is an essential mineral for staying healthy and is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Multiple health benefits of magnesium include transmission of nerve impulses, body temperature regulation, detoxification, energy production, and the formation of healthy bones and teeth. Health specialists have always emphasized the importance of including adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in our daily diet. Zinc, calcium, and magnesium are three of the most

Selenium is an antioxidant that is present in every human cell, and it's essential for the maintenance of a healthy body. This naturally-occurring substance is mostly found in the liver, kidney, testes, pancreas and spleen. It helps to limit the activities of free radicals, which can be harmful to the body. Selenium promotes the release of an enzyme called glutathione peroxidise, which can eliminate peroxides that destroy essential lipids. When the body experiences selenium deficiency, a variety of health problems can develop, including thyroid disorder, psoriasis, heart illness and viral infections. 1. Fights Prostate Cancer Low level of selenium in the body may increase the risk of prostate cancer. It is known that

Potassium chloride (commonly referred to as Muriate of Potash or MOP) is the most common potassium source used in agriculture, accounting for about 95% of all potash fertilisers used worldwide. Its nutrient composition is approximately: Potassium: 50% Chloride: 46% MOP has a high nutrient concentration and is therefore relatively price competitive with other
