Development And Growth In A Physical Nature

October 18th, 2010 Comments off

A sudden increase or decrease in the established tension level of the individual contributes to symptoms of anxiety. There is, however, in each individual, a unique primary organization and level of tension that is determined, in some measure, by the birth experience, furnishing an important element in the patterning of the drive and energy distribution of that individual.

Psychic responses differ according to the severity of trauma that is caused to the fetus at birth. There is solid and confirming evidence that shows the level of trauma varies dramatically for different fetuses. The variety of trauma not only differs, but the ability to absorb this trauma also seems to differ.

Plenty of the agents of a physical nature are operative at birth, which can lead to or influence the child or infant’s health factors such as delivery or physical abnormalities. Any major or serious injuries to the fetus can lead to life crippling. Damage of a permanent nature has been calculated in as many as 6% of the injuries sustained during birthing.

Many of the experiments reported during recent years have shown that maternal nutrition during the fetal growth stage is a factor that simply can not be overlooked. Vitamins and proteins are of obvious importance, but the elimination of toxic disturbance remains the focal concern besides malnutrition.

The fetuses of women suffering from the very challenging condition that is renal hypertension unfortunately showed more serious side affect than those of women sample randomly. The vitamins B, D, and C, along with calcium and phosphorus seemed to be some of the most important vitamins.

Researchers have plainly demonstrated the obvious importance of maternal diet during the pregnancy to ensure the best odds of the child growing into a healthy adult. Socioeconomics obviously has shown that status and diet unfortunately do go hand in hand, and that the diet of a fetus’ mother may help determine the life of the being.

A fetus is, tragically, more effected by the harms of a poor diet than the pregnant mother. These striking facts make us look at the stress a mother endures during the birthing period as something of a devastation.

The Farmer And The Piece Of Straw That Made Him Rich

July 20th, 2010 Comments off

A millionaire made easy through giving!

There is an old historical Japanese tale about giving and it shows how we can receive the most extraordinary gifts when we’re giving and appreciative of what we already have.

Here is the story.

Once upon a time, there was a poor young farmer. Everything he did in his life never seemed to produce any wealth for him. He was totally broke with no money, no family and no food. So one night he sneaked into a temple and sat by the altar and in desperation asked the Gods what he was supposed to do.

“I have always been sincere and industrious, but all my industriousness never became beneficial to me. Where have I gone wrong?”

He slept at the feet of the deity after having put that question. In the morning, just as he woke up, one of the Gods of his dream appeared before him enveloped in a brilliant golden light. The voice of the God resounded in his mind.

“When you wake up in the morning, cherish what you have in your hand and go on giving it to others liberally as you proceed,” the God commanded.

The farmer was brimming with questions when he woke up but he tried to shake off his sleep and clear his mind of the strange but clear dream he had. However, he saw a bit of a straw in his hand. It must have remained on his clothes while he worked in his fields.

He nearly dropped it to the ground, but stopped for a moment remembering what the God said. He sat down again. And looked at the straw.

He sat still for a long time thinking what this meant. He had no clue why a piece of straw can be of any value to him. Then he saw a wasp flying around. It eventually landed on the tip of the straw. He caught the wasp and tied it to the straw with a piece of thread from his clothes. Now with a piece of straw with a flying wasp at the end, off he went on the path.

He had gone a little way when he found a small boy and his mother coming towards him from the other end of the road. The boy was weeping. When he said hello to the boy, the child noticed the straw that the man had with a wasp at one end. He stopped his weeping and wanted to have the straw. The farmer was hesitant to give it but then he remembered that God had asked him to value what we owned and also give it to others profusely. So he gave the straw to the boy. The mother was relieved as the boy stopped crying when he got the straw and the wasp. In return she gave the man three tangerines.

The man continued on his way. After a while he started feeling hungry and wanted to eat one of the tangerines. But he stopped short of doing it and remembered that he had to gift things to others, not give it to himself.

The farmer was going over a steep hill and on the way he saw a merchant sitting under a tree. The man had a wooden box near him. The farmer wished the man. He appeared to be very tired. He saw the tangerines the farmer held and asked him if he would give it to him. The merchant told the farmer that he was very thirsty.

The farmer was also quite thirsty having walked for a long time during the heat of the day but he offered all the tangerines to the merchant. The merchant ate the three tangerines and regained his strength. He was very grateful for the kindness of the farmer and opened the wooden box next to him. There were rolls of hand dyed silk fabric. The merchant handed him one roll, thanked him and walked off.

The farmer proceeded again through the same route. He finally found a rivulet from which he drank water and felt restored. He felt more energetic and comfortable and went on.

The farmer walked and walked not seeing anyone for a long time. He started to think that maybe this was it – his fortune. So, he decided to go to the nearby town to sell the fabric.

But just as he went around the corner, he saw in front of him a band of fighters. One of the fighters who looked liked the head of the band stood near a horse that was lying on the earth. The farmer heard the leader talking to his men.

“This horse would not last long. We just have to leave it. Just take care of it and catch up.” He jumped up on another horse and galloped off disappearing out of sight.

The other warriors were left talking to each other about what to do. They did not want to kill the horse but there seemed to be no other choice. One of them finally drew his sword.

The farmer pleaded with them not to do that. He said he was ready to look after the animal. He said they can have the bolt of silk for letting him care for the horse. They agreed to the deal and left the place quickly.

With the dying horse by his side, the farmer just remained there. He wondered if he had done things wrongly and whether he would never become rich. Suddenly he remembered the river he had seen on the way.

He made his way to the river and once there stripped off his shirt and dipped it in water to be able to feed the horse. He made his way back to the horse again and fed it by squeezing out the water into its mouth. After the water trickled in for a while, the horse reacted and soon became conscious. The farmer was then able to pull it up and make it stand.

Once the horse was up the farmer was able to lead it to the river. The animal drank to its satisfaction and there was also green grass nearby that it could feed on. With both that the horse became fully recharged.

So now the farmer owned the horse! The man and the animal traveled together, and the farmer had to run as the horse led the way. They traveled together for miles. Finally, as the sun was setting, the horse came to a halt in front of a big house. The animal pushed the farmer towards the gate when he finally drew level with it.

As the farmer approached the gate, the doors swung open and to his surprise, an old man appeared. The old man was rushing outside and was looking a little pale. He noticed the farmer and the horse standing by the gate.

The man queried the farmer what he wanted. The farmer replied that he was in need of a place to retire for the night. The old man in his turn said that he had to go to the town on an important matter and requested the farmer to be in charge of the house till such time that he returned. He said that his returning might get delayed.

The old man looked as if he was in a hurry, so the farmer told him he can take his horse. The old man was very grateful about it and immediately left with the horse. As he left, he said something totally unexpected to the farmer.

“If I do not return within three years, this house is yours.”

As you probably guessed, the old man never returned.

The farmer lived in the large house for the rest of his life with a land full of crops surrounded by kind neighbors happily ever after. But he never forgot to always give away the things he had.

I am grateful to you for reading this story. And how did you feel about it?

Maybe there is a key to something. When we can turn our ‘getting game’ into a ‘giving game’, our life often flows bringing more abundance. But it is not always easy to practice the old wisdom in our real life.

The following are the interesting principles we can see in the tale:

* When we are ready to give what others need, they will consider it more valuable than while we are trying to ‘trade’ it (as basically we are always hopeful of getting something out of that transaction), as then they only consider the price we ask for and tend to pay less.

* When there is no lasting attachment to the things we own, we will see that we have wider chances since we are able to free ourselves from what we have.

* When what life offers is not a bed of roses, instead of concentrating on the difficulty if we kept our attention on giving and sharing, life is sure to bring in good things later.

* When we try to ‘cash in’ what we have built up, thinking that “this is the best it gets”, because we think we may lose out it if we do not cash in now, our life’s growth often ends there. What if instead, we continued to be giving generously no matter what we owned or how physically wealthy we were or were not.

Giving is part of many successful people’s lives. When we give first, we have more chance of living a life of magnificence, ease and expansion.

Pesticides And Attention Deficit Disorder

June 6th, 2010 Comments off

Have you read about the link between pesticides and ADHD? A recent issue of the Journal of Pediatrics published research on how pesticides seem to be linked with Attention Deficit Disorder in children

Could this be any worse? Unfortunately if it is as true as it seems to be, there is no “bailout”. Experts are viewing this research seriously, because the research was well done by reputable scientists and the outcomes suggest serious implications. Most think additional research is necessary for the apparent link to be decisive. Yet everyone knows that children are more vulnerable to health risks presented by pesticides simply because their bodies are still growing. In addition, children are far more likely to ingest a higher amount of pesticides compared to adults relative to their body weight.

If the scientific studies show comparable results with larger population samples this may be a serious health concern. It connects ADHD with eating vegetables or fruits which have been treated with commonly used pesticides.

Do you know what ADD is? Common indications of Attention Deficit Disorder include unfocused attention, excessive activity, reduced impulse control, physical restlessness. These traits result in a variety of learning disabilities.

While one study cannot prove that agricultural pesticides contribute to childhood learning problems, experts said the research is persuasive. In the body, pesticides break up into compounds which are measurable in urine. Detectable levels of pesticides were almost universal. Children with higher levels had increased chances of having ADHD, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. The source of pesticides was not determined. Children may have ingested or inhaled them. Experts said it is quite realistic that children who don’t live near farms may be exposed through what they eat and drink or inhale.

No one really knows why this is happening. Any number of factors could have caused the Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms as well as the. In addition, the pesticide connection might be by chance. Of course, this means more research needs to be conducted to clarify the situation. What’s important to notice is that the study looked at a random sampling of children. Some physicians say the study is significant in part because it is based on a general sample of children, not those believed to have been exposed to high levels of insecticides. It shows that pesticides are another environmental factor in developmental issues like ADD, in addition to prenatal exposure to alcohol, cocaine and cigarette smoke.

The U.S. EPA knows pesticides pose risks for people and they have limited the amount of residue allowed on foods. But the new study shows that even tiny amounts of pesticides might affect brain chemistry.

The Attention Deficit Disorder Association estimates that eight to nine million U.S. adults have ADD. They believe it’s most likely caused by biological factors and genetics. This study of organophosphates may require them to reconsider these primarily genetic causes. The National Academy of Sciences believes food and water are most likely sources of pesticides to which children are exposed.
