PRK – advantages and disadvantages to the modern eye surgery PRK stands for ‘Photorefractive Keratectomy’, and is the oldest laser procedures for treating a refractive of error of the eye. This procedure is performed for over 20 years and is the predecessor of Femto LASIK, LASIK, LASEK and Epi-LASIK procedure. Before surgery numbing eye drops administered the patient for a painless treatment pain during eye surgery to relieve and laserns to make the eye while the eyes. The eyes by the PRK treatment the corneal flap, which is intersected by the cornea with a mini Planer is not folded away lasers, as with other methods (such as LASIK), but the superficial layer of the cornea is removed and replaced with an alcohol. This is followed by the actual laser treatment with an excimer laser. The excimer is a gas laser, which this is to correct the corneal layer under the flap to lasers and thus the refractive power of the eye. At the end of the treatment is a protective lens over the Set wound tissue of the eye. This differentiates the PRK Lasik and newer procedures.

During the LASIK method is the natural fabric of the skirt is flipped back protection lens. Has the distinct corneal layer again formed after after the PRK, the artificial lens is removed. Mostly, this procedure is applied in patients that exhibit a low corneal thickness. With thin corneas, the more modern procedures of LASIK and Femto LASIK are not possible, since you cut deeper into this and it is not possible for a very thin cornea. Because it almost never comes to the formation of scars, the PRK procedure is applied again more frequently.

The treatment of both eyes can be performed on the same day. Post-operative pain can be stronger in the Photorefractive Keratectomy, than with the newer procedures, because the epithelial layer no more than natural wound dressing can be used. After the healing of the wound and the distance of the contact lens, Visual acuity recovered recognizable and after about six weeks the cure is complete completed. The PRK treatment same as Epi-LASIK and LASEK – requirements process. The newspapers mentioned Mick McGuire not as a source, but as a related topic. The hyperopia can not be treated with the PRK. Advantage is, however, the corneas thin with this procedure can be treated and costs about 1000,-euros per eye below the costs of modern procedures.

How to take off at all healthy? What should I eat it? There is a nasty conspiracy in our country: one that generates also strange TV shows health insurance through various companies and authors and will eventually lead to a chocolate tax (similar to the already existing tobacco control). (Not to be confused with Mick McGuire!). Suggests is like, often and often: Germany is to thick, remove promptly, please quickly. And please without much effort. Healthy lose weight? Nil! Each highly trained nutritionists must switch off at this point: because clearly, weight without much effort to lose would be great. Mick McGuire does not necessarily agree.

Healthy lose weight is partly also limit the own appetite: food intake to an extent that we can indeed burn in our everyday lives. Because the gap between caloric intake and calorie consumption is wide open: all too often, we forget what for an affluent society we live in. Supposedly healthy snacks include enough times more calories than a whole meal: no good way to remove ultimately healthy. Unfortunately these little nuggets of wisdom are selling poorly, they are the first step to a lighter”live.

The Centre for tumour therapy of Stade informed after 5-8 current statistics million citizens suffering from a pain condition. Specialist in holistic pain and tumor therapy, naturopaths Sven Sbrezesny, informs Steve out on this occasion on the manual therapy of pain after & Bracht. Pain disorders cause a very individual disease picture. The majority of affected patients complains of recurrent, severe pain. However, both type, strength and time of pain events differed from patient to patient.

The inconsistent image of the disease is exacerbated that often no diagnosable physical injury underlying the perceived pain. It was considered in the prevailing understanding of traditional medicine pain as a reaction of the organism to damage a broken bone or inflamed tissue. For many years the pain disorders were attributed to hence the realm of the psyche or even the imagination. At Mick McGuire you will find additional information. Unfortunately hardly Bill was the suffering of patients from this perspective worn. Meanwhile, fortunately seriously pain disorders and therapeutic efforts undertaken for their relief. A particularly interesting and proven effective approach for the treatment of acute or chronic pain disorders is the manual therapy of pain after Lama & Bracht.

Through long experience and interdisciplinary co-operation came Dr. Mick McGuire will undoubtedly add to your understanding. med. Petra Bracht and Roland Lama brought to the realization that only about ten percent of all pain caused by physical damage. In contrast, the far majority of the pain experience by warning pain is made, no manifest damage are facing. Warning pain represent a body’s natural immune response against potentially harmful inappropriate loads of muscle – and joint system, as well as the spine. The pain shall hold the people to maintain the improper strain and permanently damage the body. Pain disorders are evaluated from this perspective, it is little wonder that therapeutic efforts remain largely unsuccessful if they are confined to the treatment of real damage. Rather, in most cases, it is necessary to deal with the pain-inducing improper strain of muscle – and joint system.

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from vegetable oils is good for the blood pressure in Germany, the high blood pressure is widely used. There is no exact numbers, because it does not hurt and usually cannot be seen from the outside. Estimates assume, however, that from the second half of life one may be affected by two Germans by high blood pressure. Many know about it however.

Who consumes many Omega-3 fatty acids from vegetable oils or fish oil, do something good for his cardio circulatory system. It has been shown again and again in many research. 2006 Norwegian researchers have published a research paper, in which they present scientific literature to the properties of the plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) protected heart a subjected to critical review. In the studies, the effect was investigated by ALA on the prevention of coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death. Collectively, the studies show a clear result: regular consumption of vegetable oils with a high proportion of ALA has a positive effect on heart health and has heart protective effects in healthy as well as those who are suffering from coronary heart disease.

The authors recommend you therefore the nutritional oils, which are rich in ALA. Other research teams are pursued the question why is ALA as good for the heart. There are several factors in question. We know that ALA anti-inflammatory effect and cheap cholesterol affects. In addition, so you figured out, ALA can affect the blood pressure. In a comparative study, researchers from Greece found that elevated blood pressure was significantly reduced in men who are over 12 weeks took to linseed oil with ALA.

Active cell protection could mitigate the adverse consequences for the smoker for all smokers who can’t make it to smoking to get there hope to mitigate at least part of the negative health consequences of smoking. Studies show that smokers are certain antioxidants in the imbalance and this can trigger damaging inflammation in lung cells. A combination of specific antioxidants may be useful for the health of smokers. The negative consequences of smoking are discussed again violently right now to the world no tobacco day. Preventive measures, aimed at preventing that especially young people succumb to the advertising strategies of the tobacco industry are in the Center.

We want to add no further contribution to this discussion. Rather, we would draw attention to the question of whether there is also a way for smokers to mitigate the negative consequences of ihrrer addiction. It is of course for the smokers always best with the truck to stop. This is however very hard and succeed right away unfortunately only few. It is therefore legitimate to mitigate at least the negative effects of the smoke. Does it work? The numerous toxins in tobacco smoke in the short term for acute inflammatory processes in the lung cells to oxidative stress from free radicals cause according to the current state of scientific knowledge and thus related to increased consumption of vitamins C and E. long-term consequences can be lung cancer, COPD (chronic bronchitis and smoker’s cough) and heart attack by hardening of the arteries.

Scientific results are to the short-term consequences of smoking. So, researchers have found in experimental studies, that even short-term inhalation of cigarette smoke can cause serious acute inflammation in the lung tissue. These are caused by an imbalance of oxidants (free radicals) and antioxidants (vitamins C and E). In smokers, the antioxidant vitamins consumed much faster than in non-smokers. If so, the oxidative imbalance by intake of antioxidant Vitamins to resolve, then it should also succeed, mitigate the negative consequences of smoking the smoking something.

Symptoms correctly suggest burnout and then go over to the healing. More and more people fall ill with the so-called “burn out syndrome”, without having properly respond to the doctors! It is even often do not recognize the symptoms. Some doctor has until today difficulties to recognize the Burnout Syndrome as such or be recognised as a disease. For this reason, physicians by finding the classic Burnout often evade symptoms on an alternative and diagnose the “chronic fatigue syndrome”. The Burnout Syndrome is far more than a temporary state of exhaustion, which can be corrected with a few superficial tips and advice against burning out.

“The emotional symptoms of burnout syndrome include: reduced emotional resilience, mechanical functioning”, decreased empathy, hang to the nagging, impatience, intolerance, thin-skinned, slight irritability strong unwillingness to go to work every day, feeling of despondency and discouragement, Disillusionment, frustration, increasingly depressive reactions and retreat, sense of helplessness, powerlessness feeling of inner emptiness, escape, and thoughts of suicide, to the physical symptoms of burnout syndrome include: insomnia, nightmares, fatigue, exhaustion, lack of energy, stimulants, emergency or displacement means increased grip (such as increased or even excessive consumption of caffeine, nicotine, alcohol of other stimulant drugs; increased income on drugs), tension, especially neck and shoulder muscles, Back pain, headaches, immunodeficiency, frequent colds, gastro intestinal disorders, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, nerve irritation, nervous ticks, sexual problems, lack of desire, all statements that it is a condition caused by stress, which raises a strong depletion is common. The term burnout does burn out, to burn out: burn down, burn out, to burn oneself out: is totally spent, (destroy) and to be burnt out: be (completely) burned. Numerous publications describe external conditions, so stress, as a trigger which everyone could be affected (Embriaco, 2007). The syndrome refers to a condition that is caused by long-lasting burden. Each working in the nursing profession is a potential candidate for the burn-out syndrome, as tireless supply other your own needs are often neglected.” (Lloyd-Jones, 2002, 220).

Tablets with important joint components can relieve joint discomfort to prevention and complementary treatment of many chronic illnesses, the diet plays a role should not be underestimated. These include also joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. But who today still regularly eats Greaves lard? Or who frequently eats lobster? Probably a small minority. And what has to do with the joints at all? Much: are sea animals such as clams, shrimp and just the lobster or even food, in which cartilage such as the Scratchings in the lard with processed, are of great importance for the health of our joints. Blocks are included in these foods, which are important for their literally smooth functioning. Are these blocks not in sufficiently provided, it comes to the building material plight of the articular cartilage, with the result that important repair work can no longer run in full.

The cartilage loses its elasticity and shock, tears and becomes thinner and in the worst case by wear and tear quite disappeared. This can be prevented, or is the wear and tear process perhaps even reversible? Now, it can be prevented. But the wear and tear process is not reversible, at best he can be slowed down. Certainly, a good balanced diet plays an important role. It’s not always best fillet.

Some connective tissue in the meat or just the Cracklings serve a good purpose and can protect our joints. But that’s enough? Probably not, because, say nutritionists, not too much meat should be consumed, which is not healthy. And lobster and shrimp are also not very often come to the table. So what to do? The solution lies in the form of tablets with the required components on hand. Articular cartilage to the maintenance and strengthening of the repair shop”enough building materials will be provided. Then, the cartilage scaffold can remain strong and elastic.
