Molescum – also known as Molluscum Contagiosum, or simply Mollescum – is a viral infection of the skin. Molescum is actually pretty much harmless but poses a significant inconvenience for anybody who becomes infected with the virus. Molluscum Contagiosum in children is where it is most commonly seen. However, adults can and do become infected. Persons with compromised immune systems are most likely to be easily infected. Even healthy persons, however, are vulnerable to molescum because it is such a highly contagious virus.

Molescum spreads easily through skin to skin contact, contact with infected materials such as towels and clothing and often through sexual contact. The actual condition Molescum causes is a patch of Molluscum Contagiosum warts that are nothing more than pimples to the eye. They don’t hurt or itch but they can take very long to go away. In fact, Molescum resolves itself naturally in a healthy human but the amount of time it takes (up to a year!) causes many people to seek treatment.

Molluscum contagiosum treatment usually involves topical creams, surgical extraction of the molluscum lesions and even something as far-out as using the juice from a particular type of beetle to dissipate the warts. Surgical removal is generally quick and easy and if done well, leaves no scarring. This is a fantastic option because while creams can work in time, molescum spreads very easily to healthy skin on the same person. Molescum spreads especially well on wet skin. The main reason to get rid of Molescum is to prevent spreading it to others and also for cosmetic reasons. The molluscum warts are rather unsightly, particularly if they occur around or on the face or genitals.

Another treatment option for molescum sufferers is to have their molluscum warts frozen off. This process is only slightly painful and sees decent results. Children, in particular, should be treated as soon as a molescum diagnosis is confirmed because of their gregarious nature. Spreading mollescum to others is almost guaranteed among kids! For individual molluscum warts, you can remove them yourself at home. All you need to do is sterilize a needle and pierce the skin on top of the pimple.

Then you will need to widen the opening and squeeze out the little white ball. The white ball is actually the virus, which is hidden in this ball in such an ingenious way, that it takes the human immune system such a long time to indentify and combat it. Once you’ve removed the virus ball, apply antiseptic to the small wound and allow it to heal. Voila!

For more involved cases of molescum consulting with a dermatologist is wise.

No one likes to think about getting diagnosed with a serious disease. It can be even more difficult when a family member or loved one receives a difficult diagnosis. When it comes to dealing with a diagnosis like cancer people need to realize that they are not alone. Many people have a medical team that works with them during their treatment, whether it is surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses a variety of powerful chemicals to kill rapidly growing cells in the body. These drugs are most often used to treat cancer since cancer cells tend to grow and multiply much faster than any other cells in the body. There are a variety of drugs that are used during treatment and they can be used in a number of different combinations to treat various types of cancer. While these drugs are often used successfully to treat a variety of cancers they do pose a risk and come with a variety of side effects. Some of these side effects are mild and treatable while others can cause the patient some very serious complications.

We know that chemotherapy drugs are used to kill cancer cells but they can be used in a variety of ways. For some patients these drugs are used as the sole treatment with the goal of curing the cancer while in other cases they are used with the goal of slowing the progression of a certain type of cancer. In certain situations these drugs may be used after another therapy such as surgery to kill any hidden cancer cells that may remain in the body. There are times when chemotherapy drugs may be used to try to shrink a tumor before surgery or radiation treatments. In some advanced cases these drugs are used to try to relieve pain and help keep the patient comfortable. These types of drugs have also been known to help treat other problems such as bone marrow disorders and immune system disorders.

There can be a wide variety of significant side effects that go along with using chemotherapy drugs. Every drug has different side effects so a patient will need to discuss these issues with their physician. Some of the more common side effects that patients experience during treatment include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, hair loss, fever, pain, constipation, fatigue, mouth sores and easy bruising. Many of these side effects can be prevented or treated and most of them will subside after the treatment is finished. Some side effects may not show themselves until months or even years after the patient receives treatment. These vary by the drug that was used but can include heart or kidney problems, infertility, lung damage, nerve damage or even risk of a second type of cancer.

Regardless of the condition being treated chemotherapy drugs are not without risk. While they play a big part in treating many patients their use should always be discussed in great detail between a patient and their doctor.

The definition of a sales person is simply someone who sells something for a living. Yet in reality, I suppose we are all sales people in a way? Are salesmen sociopaths?

Many believe they are and some you may have met definitely are. So are many of those who do sales training, write marketing books, sell sales tapes and promote selling through seminars and or do consulting to sales groups.

What is a sociopath? Well the basic definition is that it is someone who does not follow the social norms or rules of society, whether actual laws or unspoken rules of political correctness.

Do salesmen follow rules of common decency, integrity, political correctness and the laws governing misrepresentation, misdirection or selling manipulation? Often they do not and therefore one could say that most salesmen are in fact sociopaths. Is that good or is that of detriment to society?

Well there are one would suppose both good sociopaths, on the fence sociopaths and downright criminal minds and killers who are more often called sociopathic, psychopaths. So if you are to ask if sales men or sales women are sociopaths, then indeed you could answer that question with; most are. But why?

Well, it takes a certain type of person to enjoy a career in selling. Are you a sociopath? Well then you would make a good salesperson, lawyer, government regulator or scum pond cleaner. Consider all this in 2006.

Throughout marketing history, we have seen the evolution of many catchy business phrases! Sometimes they are referred to as the company “motto” or “slogan”. Why do people always revert back to creating catchy business phrases? They write them because THEY WORK! They make sales and convert customers!

When you’re writing catchy business phrases, it is important to remember the marketability of your phrase! Is your phrase generic enough to appeal towards a large audience? What do I mean? Here is an example.

Lets say that I’m selling some cleaner. I could say that the cleaner is “great for cleaning tables”. That would be great, if I’m targeting people who clean tables. It would be much more effective to write the phrase this way, “great for cleaning your home!” That phrase is much more effective because it captures a larger audience!

Be sure that your catchy business phrases aren’t cutting out potential buyers by singing only one tune. Make sure that you have a few catchy business phrases up your sleeve before you venture out into the vast business world! Having different phrases spreads out your business and increases the chances of your business being discovered!

Hopefully you have taken away some important information. The art of making effective, catchy business phrases is a very tricky art, indeed! When you finally begin to market, be sure to check which phrase is performing the best! Once you are able to narrow it down, you’ll only be left with super effective marketing phrases! You cant be stopped!

There is a therapy called magnetic therapy. As the name suggests, this therapy uses magnets, especially neodymium magnets to help reduce pain. Aside from this, this therapy is used in other fields, such as diagnosis and treatment. You may find it interesting that the same type of magnet is used in a lot of things, such as shoes, mattresses, and rings. In this article, we are going to discuss the benefits of these metals.

How Does the Therapy Work?

In short, the therapy works by stimulating your body to create magnetic fields and electrical impulses. According to many research studies, this therapy may help your body get more healthful. Let’s check out some of the benefits it may offer.

Wound healing

According to a research study, magnetic therapy helps reduce blood flow in tumors. On the other hand, the therapy boosts the platelet activity in tissues that had no tumor. The platelet activity may help boost wound healing.

As a matter of fact, another study revealed that it can offer better anastomosis and recuperation unlike sutures that is performed manually.

The Neural System

According to a study, magnetic fields support neural research and don’t cause damage to the human neural system or disrupt the study parameters. Aside from this, it is a great therapy to help reduce depression.

The Skeletal System

According to a study on rabbits, neodymium magnets help prevent movements in the epiphysis of your femoral bone, which helps boost the tissue regeneration.

The GIT System

These products are used in surgeries as well, especially endoscopic surgeries of your colon. Aside from this, it helps provide an easy access to the tumors. After the surgery, they help patients get better much faster.

Dentistry

Due to the strong attraction force, they are used for preventing orthodontic prosthetics from moving around.

Scientific Research

Primarily, magnetic therapy revolves around looking for an effective painkiller. In 1997, another research study found that it works like an effective painkiller. However, since the research was done on a small scale, it received a lot of criticism.

According to the reports from NCCIH, this therapy shows no evidence of reducing pain. However, many studies support the claim that the therapy can be a great choice for fibromyalgia and arthritis.

It’s important to keep in mind that the effect and use of this technique in other fields of medicine are positive. The reason is that there are a lot of studies that are in favor of these claims.

Aside from this, there are a lot of ongoing studies that give us a lot of hope for future. The fields they are used in include stem cells, close of aneurysms, stent-procedure and fertility treatments, just to name a few.

Conclusion

Long story short, neodymium magnets are quite powerful even if you use a small unit of them. Aside from this, this element is getting more and more popular in therapy and surgeries. Researchers are quite hopeful that it will offer a lot of benefits down the road.

We spend nearly one third of our life sleeping in bed and a good night’s sleep is very important for us to concentrate on our work. A good night’s sleep helps in relaxing and rejuvenating our body. People with back and spine problems require a mattress, which would not aggravate the pain. The American Chiropractic Association endorsed mattresses are the best for such persons as they support the spine.

There are many mattresses available in the market and selecting a mattress is very difficult. People can get back ache, headache, body pain etc if the mattresses are not good. People with lower back and spine problem require a Chiropractic Association approved mattress. Springwall mattresses are mainly designed for people having back, neck and spine problems. These mattresses are approved by American Chiropractic Association and provide full comfort. The ACA approval was granted in the year 1964.

A mattress should provide enough support for the complete body. People with backache require mattresses, which are neither too soft nor too firm. They require mattresses, which support the body and take the contours of the body while asleep. Springwall mattresses are one of the best mattresses as they provide the required support and come with a warranty.

“Health Literacy” is the ability to read, understand and act upon health information. And, more than half of the American population is not proficient on this topic. Unfortunately, the above definition is the point after which most head into the wrong direction. Unless a significant misnomer, by definition, the focus of health literacy should be two-fold, enhancement of functional literacy (period) and increased attention to the issues of health.

The general public reads very little non-commercial, health-related materials, the content being very challenging. Additionally, people consume too much sugar, consume alcohol and excesses of red meats, processed grains, artificial chemical additives, too few and unvaried fruits and vegetables, and eat too much. Many also smoke, use recreational drugs, misuse prescription drugs, exercise too little and engage in other social and recreational activities that are harmful to them physically and psychologically. Much of that which I just described and many more contributors to poor personal and public health are legally accessible and even marketed to you. The question is, who is responsible for your health knowledge and healthy behaviors (health care) versus your medical status (medical care)?

Your mechanic recommends selecting quality fuels, lubricants, and other fluids, and changing them regularly. You should manage your tires’ pressure and watch tread wear. You check your brakes’ function and monitor all for all other signs of possible malfunction. And, although there are plenty of after-market and alternative products and services by which to care for your vehicles, no clear-thinking person deviates demonstrably from use/maintenance recommendations if expecting vehicles to perform well and last. Such is because motor vehicles are sold with maintenance recommendations and schedules that you read, developing your “automotive care literacy”.

The western medical professional community markedly fails to train its cadre well in subjects of prevention, health maintenance, and safe. high performance, physical fitness for the masses. This also includes failure to train them to care substantially about the health literacy of their clientele. Nationally, we spend a lot of money on a Center for Disease Control, Planned Parenthood [primarily STD/STI and services for sex-related diseases], and local public health agencies (focus upon epidemiology, primary medical care, local epidemics management). And, we wrangle politically over the role of government versus the private sector for the provision of all services, particularly those that are values-based. However, public health literacy (education) is a non-revenue generating activity and receives minimal attention.

While in the public many clamor for inalienable rights to comprehensive medical care, the general public doesn’t march for the rights to universal health literacy. Nor does it ask the government to require the market to be more responsible for promoting products, services and social behaviors consistent with universal health. Yet, we must not allow the government, nor the socially and financially empowered to suggest that speaking against “unhealthy” environments, foods, untoward products and behaviors (and effects of) is inappropriate, and thereby “politically incorrect” behavior, unless you want current vocal ideologies to drive health care and not literacy.

Action Group on Free Civic Space represents a loose network of organizations, student unions, social movements and active citizens across Nigeria, working on different thematic issues, but committed

to ensuring that government regulation in the name of national security does not shrink the civic space in Nigeria.

In a press statement issued and jointly signed by:

Emmanuel Acha: Youth Forum for Social Change

FyneFace Dumnamene Fyneface: Youths and Environmental Advocacy Centre

Obioma Agoziem: Centre for Corrections and Human Development

Victoria Ibezim Ohaeri: SPACES FOR CHANGE

Okechukwu Nwanguma: Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre, the stated that National and International Law Prohibits Governments and Law Enforcement Agents from Using COVID-19 as an Excuse to Derogate from the Right to Life.

The Action Group on Free Civic Space is deeply concerned about the increasing records of human rights abuses of citizens by law enforcement agents responsible for ensuring compliance with COVID-19 lockdown and stay-at-home directives across various states in Nigeria.

Substantiated media reports are replete with stories of shootings, police/military brutality, destruction of cooked food and other necessary wares, physical assaults, etc.

With the way COVID-19 pandemic is ravaging the world, we recognize that these are not normal times.

We particularly commend the efforts of the Nigerian government and relevant stakeholders doubling up to contain further spread of the pandemic. While we acknowledge the need to adopt stringent measures where necessary, we, however, must caution that COVID-19 containment measures implemented across

states emphasize respect for the rights to life and human dignity guaranteed under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Only yesterday, trigger-happy soldiers allegedly gunned down one Mr. Joseph Pessu in an unfortunate

show of force to maintain COVID-19 lockdown in Delta State. A week ago, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State ordered security operatives to shoot-at-sight, any person that tries to escape from quarantine and

isolation centers in the state. Similarly in Rivers State, hasty lockdown directives like the shutdown of markets and businesses without palliatives to support citizens’ welfare, have precipitated unavoidable

situations that have seen the state’s taskforce in a bid to enforce lockdown directives, ill-treat some residents caught outside their homes trying to source food and provisions for survival. In other places like Lagos and Abuja, eyewitness reports and video evidence have continued to emerge, showing security

forces brazenly using horsewhips and weapons to enforce discipline and compliance with lockdown directives. In light of the above worrying developments, it has become imperative to remind the Nigerian

government that emergency situations and associated containment measures must align with the country’s national, regional and international human rights obligations.

Section 33 and 34 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, guarantees life

and human dignity, for all citizens. The sanctity and inviolability of the rights to life and human dignity are further protected under Article 4 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Likewise, Article

4(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) also reiterates that certain rights

such as the right to life, freedom from cruel, inhumane treatment and punishments are non-derogable and cannot be suspended even in a state of emergency. As these provisions make clear, national and

international law prohibit governments and law enforcement agents from using COVID-19 as an excuse to derogate from the right to life.

Furthermore, we make bold to state that Nigerians on low-incomes have been worse hit by the shutdown measures.

Millions of citizens living in informal communities, also called slums, have little or no access to proper sanitation, clean water, qualitative healthcare, electricity, food, shelter, etc. Only citizens with a roof above their heads can comply with the government’s stay-at-home directive. Closed businesses not only mean loss of income for enterprises but also weaken the survivability of the self-employed and poor

ACTION GROUP ON FREE CIVIC SPACE

Majority of the people working in the informal sector, depending on their daily earnings for sustenance. Without daily income, they are unable to stock up food supplies needed to sustain a lockdown.

Accordingly, the government must rise to its responsibility of providing adequate relief packages for these households in want. Intervention schemes and economic stimulus packages announced by both the

Federal and State governments should be backed by effective distribution machineries to ensure that relief items reach those in critical need of food and medical supplies, especially in urban slums and rural areas.

The much-publicized billions received as donations from philanthropists and corporate bodies supporting the fight against coronavirus, should also be deployed to assist those in need. To fill the reported gaps in distribution, we advise the Federal government, to as a matter of urgency, constitute an inclusive body of relief managers across the 36 states and the FCT. The relief managers

should be duly selected from trade unions, civil society bodies, the private sector, community-based organisations, pro-people associations, and relevant government bodies. This democratic body of

managers will not only develop a clearcut strategy for distribution of stimulus packages to all Nigerians but

also report daily to citizens the expenditure accounts of how relief funds and items were distributed fairly, equitably, timely and transparently. The Action Group on Free Civic Space makes the following demands on the Nigerian government, to:

– Officially call off Governor Umanyi of Ebonyi State’s shoot-at-sight order, and order the Inspector General of Police and his men to discountenance the directive.

– Adopt humane, responsive and legally-binding measures to enforce public safety orders and correct members of the public who defy lockdown directives. – Investigate the killing of Mr. Pessu in Delta State, and for all other erring law enforcement officers to be brought to book.

– Sensitise law enforcers on rights-respecting methods of carrying out their duties, including setting

up complaints’ desks and hotlines for members of the public to report incidences of abuses.

– Finally, we implore Nigerians to stay strong in these challenging times and submit to all public health directives and guidelines intended for the overall public health and wellbeing of Nigerians.

Most people are afraid of and disgusted with the Coronavirus. It has messed up our status quo. It has inspired anger, brought about alarm, despair and death, perpetuated anguish and caused loss. But – have you thought of the good it is bringing to our world?

Corona has caused self isolation (I-soul-action). Yay! People are actually being forced to let go of their rat races, traffic jams and going to work for eight hours or more. This leaves room for introspection – How do we truly want our lives to be? I think most of us would say, “Peacefully and abundantly.” How does that feel corporate America?

Corona has caused education/schooling at home. In school bullying has ended – children are free to learn at their own pace and on their on schedule. Think there might be growing appreciation for teachers?

Corona has caused many businesses to close. That means there is less traffic on the roads and families have more time together. How is that working for you, parents?

Corona has caused people to stay at home because outside entertainment is not available. How is that helping to save money and create less spending?

Corona has been instrumental in having some people lose their jobs, become furloughed or temporarily laid off. How is that helping to change our current and reckless economic system?

Thank you Coronavirus for having us stay home and isolate while relating to our families (and even friends through technology) – rest when we need to – create healthy recipes – allow time to relax, regenerate and simply just be. You have caused us Corona, to look at our world differently and band together in thought and desire to make this a more empowered world of freedom for the individual… our birthright! Reader, how does that make you feel? Won’t it be interesting to see how the world has changed as a result of this virus?

What if we as a group gave a tremendous thank you to Corona? Deep gratitude to you, Corona, for upsetting the status quo and waking society up for change and fulfillment. When you are gone (joyfully soon), you will have sparked a more conscious and aware planet and hopefully, people will act accordingly to restore earth to its grandeur with peace, liberty and relaxation to her citizens… a recovery by design.

How does it get any better than this?

In this period of turmoil when the world is facing the pandemic of covid19, life seems to be in topsy-turvy. Panic, terror, uncertainty, and despair are the biggest monsters hovering above the heads of everyone, trying to strangle the life out of them.

However, despite the horrific presence of these demons there appears to be a ray of hope among the people and that shaft of light illuminates itself in the form of a positive attitude adopted by all of us.

Ever since the breakout of this Corona virus, a complete transformation is evident in the behavior and demeanor of most of us. We have become altruistic, empathetic, patient and humble. A transformation, for which motivational speakers, religious leaders, social activists, and reformers preached for several years, Corona taught them in a month. Is it a Reality to mourn or celebrate?

This is the moment to ponder upon. Being a civilized nation, we are required to behave towards others most positively and decently as expected but unfortunately, we never realized that. In the “pre- corona scenario”, every one of us was living in a shell of their ego and arrogance. We were part of a race leading towards materialistic gains. In this race, we forgot to nourish our spiritual energies. The energies that boost our mind and soul, thus enriching them in the most desirable manner.

We became indifferent to the agony and suffering of others. We carried only one motto in life and that was “My Happiness”, even if we have to achieve it at the cost of destroying others’ happiness and delight. Instead of “Human Beings”, we transformed ourselves into “Mean Beings”. And that is when our miseries started.

Nature has its way of addressing things. It loves us the most and couldn’t see us creatures suffering. We suffered long before the breakout of this pandemic Corona, suffering in the form of turning into “Mean Beings” rather than “Human Beings”. Nature has to heal us through its healing hand. We needed to be healed spiritually and morally.

To make things come back to normal, to make us free from the chains of arrogance and pride, the healing hand of Nature overcast the Universe with the clouds of COVID-19. This is how the purification of our mind and body commemorates.

The process of healing is in progress in ” during the COVID-19 period”, resulting in a positive change in the attitude and behavior of most of us. The long-forgotten values of helping and caring for others have retrieved. All of us are desperate to play our role in supporting others. The materialistic race has come to a halt. People are contented with and are being grateful for what they have. The power of humanity has taken over again demolishing the castles of pride and greed.

Do the questions arise, we need pandemics to modify spiritually? Can’t we remain steadfast without dropping our human qualities? Nature has bestowed its treasures of mercy on us so why not be merciful to His creatures as well. Let’s take the pledge to make our lives aligned with the ways of Nature and refrain from plunging into the ocean of superficial life where the waves of spiritual and moral disaster engulf us easily. I wish we stick to this phase of positivity and transformation in the “post-COVID-19 phase” as well.
