iHealthTube Featuring: Why You Need More Than Just Your Doctor! And Uniting Homeopathy and Chinese Medicine

Going to a specialist for your disease or condition is a good idea. But Dr. Nalini Chilkov explains why that shouldn't be the only person you see and why just one expert may not be able to help you regain your health. Find out what else she recommends when it comes to your healthcare and support. [Video and More Below]
Uniting Homeopathy and Chinese Medicine
By: Isaac Eliaz

Homeopathy is essentially an alternative medical practice that treats a disease by the administration of diluted or minute doses of a remedy that would, in healthy persons, produce symptoms similar to those of the disease. Chinese Medicine is the general term to describe the numerous methods of healing used in Chinese culture for many thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) works to harmonize the body’s five basic elements: fire, wood, earth, metal, and water. Both Homeopathy and TCM work to correct internal imbalances or imbalanced energy, and are both described as energetic medicine. Energetic medicine is the practice of treating ailments and promoting health by working with the energy pathways of the body, which is a classic example of this, is acupuncture from TCM.

Acupuncture works by inserting very fine needles into different energy points in the body, allowing the practitioner to stimulate, disperse and regulate the flow of chi, or vital energy, and restore a healthy energy balance. Both modalities are holistic, meaning they treat the patient as a whole, exploring the mental, physical and emotional aspects of a person.

Combining treatments from homeopathy and TCM can offer relief for ailments with several layers. Acupuncture can treat a physical pain, whereas homeopathy can treat a manifestation occurring in a deeper place. In fact, homeopathy prioritizes a person’s mental and emotional state over the physical. The physical symptoms are later examined as a means to confirm the right remedy. Using physical symptoms alone can result in the wrong remedy. Many people might suffer from the same illness and share similar symptoms, but each individual is different, therefore, homeopathic remedies are selected based on more personal reflections.

TCM uses herbal formulas and acupuncture to treat pain and blocked energy flows within the body, resulting in organ disharmony. Illness enters the body and acts on a superficial level, progressing deeper into the body, and manifesting illness physically. Herbal formulas are often modified throughout treatment to promote healing and attack the disease at the appropriate stage. Both forms of medicine address the fluctuating nature of illness and continually respond to it with the right treatments. Individuals with both deep emotional trauma and physical symptoms would be ideal candidates for implementing both homeopathic remedies and acupuncture. For example, the liver is well known in Chinese Medicine to harbor emotions such as rage and unresolved anger.

A separate similarity between Homeopathy and Chinese Medicine is the observation and analyzing of the tongue and pulse. In TCM, tongue and pulse observations are used to help determine a person’s underlying patterns, which helps the practitioner to choose the best treatment. In Homeopathy, tongue observation is used to confirm a remedy, but is not as vital to choosing one as in Chinese Medicine. Both practices also use dilution as an important part of formulating the right medicine, allowing for the excretion of toxic substances without significant side effects.

The most beneficial and important similarity between both medical practices is the focus on the patient as a whole. Each person may respond differently to a medicine and require different, alternate therapies.

World’s Greatest Military Operators and Law Enforcement Professionals Reveal the Secret  Training System Used By Elite Tactical Athletes

People Asset or Expense

By: Tom Feinberg

A common claim or statement made by many organisations is, “ Our greatest and most valuable asset is our people. “ Organisations always need people and their efforts in order to operate. This statement however could fall under the category of marketing or public relations. When viewed from a purely financial reporting or accounting perspective however, the statement would be considered as incorrect or misleading. When organisations produce their financial reports, people are not generally recognised as an asset, but rather as an expense. In order to understand this aspect of reporting people as an expense in financial reporting, defining the purpose and usage of the Statement of Financial Position needs to be understood. It will also be necessary to define what an asset and an expense is in terms of financial reporting. A major reason for defining a person as an expense rather than an asset is as a result of the difficulties involved in the measurability or estimating a value of human capital. This issue will also be discussed. There are however some possible exceptions when defining a person as an expense as a result of the evolving nature of accounting practices and the changing nature of the type of information being reported which will also be examined.

The Nature of the Statement of Financial Position

An important and critical report in relation to producing useful financial information to users is The Statement of Financial Position. The purpose of a statement of financial position as defined in SAC 2 (AASB 2002) is: To disclose information in regards to resources an entity has control over, that is its assets, relevant to users in order that they may make informed financial and economic decisions as to the allocation of scarce resources.

The purpose of this financial report is to communicate information regarding the financial position of an entity at a particular point in time in an understandable format. The users of this information need to be able to recognise the relative liquidity of its assets.

From the above definition and usage of the statement of financial position, a comprehensive list of the entities assets are to be produced. People or personnel are not listed in this financial statement as an asset. The reason this is so lies in the ability to obtain and value the relative liquidity of assets in this information. Liquidity may be defined as: The ability if an entity to satisfy short-term obligations as they arise. In simple terms, the ability to convert assets into cash in order to pay any obligations the entity may encounter as they arise. How then is it possible to convert personnel (if they are to be considered as an asset) into cash in order to meet obligations? It is not possible for an entity to place a cash value on personnel in order that this person may be converted onto ready cash at short notice. For this reason, people are not listed as an asset in the statement of financial position.

What is an Asset An asset as stated in SAC 4 is: Future economic benefits controlled by an entity as a result of a past transaction or event.
The three crucial elements of an asset therefore are future economic benefit, controllability by the entity and having a past transaction or event occurring. It could be argued that a person employed in an organisation meets with these three criteria. A person has been employed under certain conditions, past event, a person must meet certain conditions of employment as layed out by the organisation, controllability, and through effort and expertise assist in profit generation for the entity, future economic benefit. Although all the criteria for the definition of an asset are met, people are not recognised as assets in financial statements. The reason for this is that, using professional judgement; a reasonable estimate cannot be made as to the amount involved. Measurability thus becomes a governing factor for an accountant in deciding on the issue.

A new CEO employed by an organisation may cause that organisation share price to rise as a result. This could be used as a guide as to the measurement on the value to place on the new CEO as an asset. The organisation then would need to recognise the value as an asset of other management in luring the new CEO, and then the problem arises as to how to value in terms of an asset non management personnel. It becomes clear as to the problems associated with placing a monetary value on human capital. It is for this reason people are not recognised as an asset in financial reports.

What is an Expense

An expense as defined in SAC 4 is: Consumptions or losses in future economic benefits in the form of reductions in assets or increases in liabilities of the entity. A crucial element in the above definition is consumption or loss in future economic benefits. The cost of employing a person by an organisation is seen in the form of as salaries, insurance, sick leave pay, superannuation, bonuses etc. These out goings are all measurable or quantifiable to the accountant and can be offset against the profit line of the entity. It is reasonable for an accountant to make a more realistic estimate on the value of human capital once personnel are recognised as an asset.

What is Measurability

It is necessary to examine the term “measurable”, as it is a crucial element in recognising human capital as an expense rather than an asset. Measurability, as stated in SAC 4 is: Assets will have a cost or value that can be measured reliably in accordance with the accounting model used.

It is also necessary in understanding measurability to examine the term reliable. Reliability when used in measurement, as stated in SAC 3 is: It is important that financial information be reliable. Information may be of a type, which bears upon user decision making, that is be relevant, but also be so unreliable in nature as to be useless or misleading.

ABUNDANT HEALTH ON ALL LEVELS

by Creflo Dollar 



We live in an imperfect world. Most of us have become accustomed to lack and insufficiency at every level, and simply accepting it as the norm has become the standard way of thinking. This mindset has even extended to our physical and mental health; we tolerate sickness and disease as if it’s a part of life. However, illness of any kind is against God’s will for us.
When we realize that God wants us healthy, we’ll refuse to tolerate sickness of any kind. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2). What He wants for us is wholeness and soundness, with nothing missing and nothing broken in our lives. Prosperity in our bodies is good health; prosperity in our emotions is a sound mind. God wants this for us not just in small amounts, but in great abundance.
Jesus demonstrated this over and over again during His ministry when He healed people wherever He went. God’s definition of life far exceeds our expectations. He loves us, and wants us to be able to have joyful, abundant lives free of any health issues. “…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). When we have faith in this, He will bless us with abundant health on all levels to the point where the blessings continually overflow.
Jesus actually went to the cross to defeat sickness. “This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, ‘He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases’” (Matthew 8:17, NLT). This type of curse has been permanently taken from us. Despite what we may hear from the doctor or what the medical reports might say, what Jesus did for us carries much more authority. “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9). Jesus’ name is above every other name—including sickness.
Illness has a way of not only sapping our physical strength, but also weighing down our hearts with depressing, discouraging thoughts. The cure for this is found in the Word of God. “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad” (Proverbs 12:25, NKJV). The “good word” of what God says to us lightens our hearts and gives us back our joy.
No matter how bleak the situation may look, God already made healing available to us two thousand years ago. He has done His part; we must now do our part and receive it by faith. We demonstrate this faith by exercising biblically-based common sense, which we get through constantly studying the Scriptures and putting into practice what we learn. The more we understand about God’s Word, the more our spirits are lifted. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).
There’s a definite link between our emotions and our physical bodies, and we can see the results of broken spirits all around us. When we accept what Jesus did and make Him our Lord and Savior, we allow Him to begin putting our broken pieces back together again. The Great Physician has provided physical and emotional healing. It’s up to us to agree with Him and accept it for ourselves.

Triphasic Tactical Training Manual

The Triphasic Tactical Training Manual was written with the explicit intent to deliver a systematic and scientifically founded approach in training methodology for athletes whose preparation does not result in wins and losses, world records, or gold medals. The idea behind the Triphasic Tactical Training Manual was originated from the individual needs of the tactical athlete and all those who put their lives at risk simply by going to work each day.
The authors of this manual have broken down the needs of every tactical athlete into six physical qualities. In order to display the physical proficiency required by the tactical athlete, each of these six qualities must be trained appropriately. What separates this training program from others is that it allows tactical athletes to continue to train with their desired methods while offering guidelines that increase the likelihood of the user to achieve optimal level responses to training and see improvements in performance.
The Weekly Sequencing Model was developed by multiple strength coaches along with an elite level military training professional for operators who based the protocol originally on The Triphasic Training System while also considering the specific needs of the tactical athlete. Programs currently being used for military training are not equipping these specialized tactical athletes appropriately, which leads to a disproportionate training of the six physical qualities necessary for optimal performance.
It was this simple point that led to the creation of The Weekly Sequencing Model. This manual is a collaboration between combat veterans who have said “we can do this better” and the training professionals who said, “we can help.” Experience has teamed up with science to present this complete, systematic training program for the tactical athlete. The Weekly Sequencing model isn’t just exercising; it is training, specifically and systematically for the tactical athlete.
This book is for the tactical athlete and those that dedicate their lives to maintaining high-performance levels to maintain the freedoms of others. In the tactical arena, less than ideal performance can have grave consequences. One step too slow, one moment too long, and the defeated does not receive a silver medal and a warm handshake.

Deceleration Training To Prevent Acl Tears 



Strength vs. Cardio: Which Should You Go For?
By: Brendan Ballance


Eating a healthy and well-balanced diet helps in maintaining a healthy body. Besides, the healthy eating, working out regularly is one of the excellent ways to stay fit and active. Additionally, you can pop in a few supplements or performance enhancements such as steroids from steroid-seller to help you train better and efficiently.

One of the most frequently asked workout questions is, which one should I pick between a cardio or strength session? Well, this question is tricky, to say the least. Because both forms of training are right and have significant benefits for your body.

Nonetheless, it also helps draw a line between the two forms of exercises.

Ok, So What’s the Difference Between Strength and Cardio Workouts

According to a recent study, strength training carries the day concerning hormonal adaptations. This is because it affects almost all hormonal systems. Nonetheless, the growth and testosterone hormones create the significant difference in the battle of cardio vs. strength.

Ok, let's break that down.

The primary purpose of the growth hormone is to restoration and repair of almost all body tissues, for instance, bones, muscles, cartilages alongside others. On the other hand, testosterone controls a number of your body functions, most commonly your libido, strength, muscle growth, and blood sugar. Resistance workouts are done while switching the number of reps, sets, and tempo trigger the release of the growth chemical in people of all age groups.

Cardio workouts quite a small number oy your body’s hormonal systems, most commonly, insulin and cortisol. Cardio sessions affect how your body responds to insulin, cutting down the risk of metabolic syndrome. Additionally, it helps in the mobilization of fat stores in the body to be used as fuel.

Even though weight training can help in shedding extra weight, cardio edges over through its capability of triggering that fat burn process instantly.

Cardio Workouts

Quite a number of people opt for cardio sessions because it is more instinctual. However, if you are fit, steady state cardio and a moderate rate is most certainly not the most efficient form of exercising. Instead, opt for interval exercising, short bursts of a high-intensity cardio split with short rest times.

This regimen will get your cardiovascular system up and running, building your endurance and strength levels alike.

Strength Workouts

In most instances, people look down upon strength training sessions. However, other than building your muscle mass, strength training does challenge your cardiovascular system too. Additionally, strength workouts will keep your body in check preventing you from excess post-exercise oxygen consumption.

Which Workout Session Should You Choose?

If you are short on time selecting between strength and cardio workout can be difficult. However, the best option is to settle for a complete body workout that involves compound exercises such as, lunges, squats, and pulls.

A combination of compound body movements will help speed up your heart rate while at the same build some muscle due to the resistance. Additionally, it is vital that you switch up the intensity levels during your sessions.

To Save Combat Veterans From Committing Suicide: A Diathesis Stress Model for the VA

By: Norton Nowlin


Any male or female human adult acting under the stressors generated by violent interactive conflicts, such as war, over which he, or she, has no direct control, is consistently and negatively affected by the adverse control that the conflict's stressors have over the cognitive/affective sensibilities of the individual. The preexisting environmental stressors from previous unanticipated negative life experiences that accompany a person into wartime conflict, such the deaths and serious illnesses of family members, loss of jobs, and drug and alcohol addictions, etc. serve to add greater dimensions of dysfunction to the effects of violent stress. In other words, the measurable cumulative effect of all negative life experiences on a person can greatly influence the degree to which that person suffers the effect of war-induced post traumatic disorder.

Let's say, for instance, that John the valiant U.S. Marine has enlisted for three years to serve in Afghanistan as an infantryman to fight Taliban insurgents. Shortly after John arrives in Afghanistan, he receives word that his mother was killed in a fatal car crash in San Diego. John is allowed seven days leave, goes home, attends his mother's funeral, and returns to Afghanistan on the eighth day. In addition to the sum of the daily death and despair that John experiences in combat, he is, therefore, carrying around with him the death of his mother in his mind and psyche. To what deleterious degree does the stress of his mother's death exacerbate the stress that his accumulating because of his combat experiences in Afghanistan? An independent variable in this associative distribution of stressors is the timeframe. Let's say that the death of John's mother occurs six months before he enlists in the military, what negative stressors are still affecting John six months later when he joins the USMC? In most cases, no one ever knows what John is feeling and thinking until he becomes seriously overloaded with negative stress and demonstrates the symptoms of severe anxiety and a neurosis. Other negative life experience stressors may be added cumulatively to what veterans like John assume into their psyches before they are discharged from military service.

The effects of these stressors are substantially variable, from benignly stressful to harmfully stressful, depending upon the ability of the normal individual veteran to handle and process them. Nonetheless, the cumulative effects of this vulnerable stress, called diathesis stress, takes a pathogenic toll on every normal combat veteran in one way, or another. Only certified sociopaths, atypical human beings without conscience and the ability to show empathy, have the capacity to experience the morbidity of combat and all other negative life experiences without exhibiting the least bit of negative dysfunction. The actual use of convicted murderers and rapists, who were facing the death penalty in U.S. prisons, to serve as U.S. Marine Corps Raiders during the Second World War to fight the recalcitrantly entrenched Japanese on the Pacific Islands experientially proved this clinical assertion about sociopaths to be unquestionably true.

A replicable and reliable cumulative numerical scaling methodology for assessing and predicting the onset and total effect of stressful life experiences on soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors returning home from combat environments is, therefore, greatly needed as a means of effective assessment of this severe depression inexorably resulting in suicide, and prompt intervention. The etiology and onset of this deleterious crippling depression resulting from diathesis (vulnerability) stress is, therefore, the inability of the normal human being's composite mind/body system to meaningfully and healthily process the overly-burdensome and pathological amount stress from negative life experiences. A mind/body breakdown of minor or severe proportions inevitably occurs at some point in a person's life as a direct result of crippling diathesis stress at the critical moment where the mind/body complex is incapable handling, or constructively and positively processing, the severe weight of the anxiety created by the concurrently acting stressors. The result of this breakdown has been given a clinical name to replace the formerly used terminology, "shell-shocked," which is post-traumatic stress disorder.

Cutting to the chase, long-story short, the first measurement of accumulated stress was configured by psychiatrists Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe in 1967.

For adults, the measurement of life event-stress was quantified as the following:

Life event Life change units

Death of a spouse 100
Divorce 73
Marital separation 65
Imprisonment 63
Death of a close family member 63
