This MonthpEditorrsquos Note
Dear Reader Thank you for taking the time to read Health Triangle Magazine the online health and wellness magazine from the UK and one of a bright new generation of digital products from the integrated health and wellness media network from UK Health Radio There are several health and wellness magazines in Europe but we continue to grow from strength to strength To allow us more opportunities to interact with readers and develop content which meet their needs we now ask readers to register We remain free of charge and we still send out emails to let readers know that there is a new issue so nothing has changed there ndash above all our Privacy Policy is very clear We do not sell rent or give away our readersrsquo email address or data And we do not deluge them with emails from us either
Please remember that we welcome comments articles and photographs ndash even advertising We want this to be a two way partnership with our readers So what is exercising my mind at the moment Well apart from working with Johann on developing the content for Europe Health Television and preparing for the launch phase of Europe Health Radio in a range of European languages I remain concerned about the state of trust in food safety When I visit friends for dinner I trust that they have prepared the food safely and hygienically When my children were younger and eat dinners at school I trusted the school catering staff to provide healthy and safe meals prepared in hygienic and safe conditions ndash similarly when I eat at a restaurant I expect the same I am fortunate that I do not suffer from any food allergies But if I did I would also expect labels to be 100 per cent accurate and trustworthy The labels should be clear and truthfulSo why am I bothered at the moment Is it because one of the restaurants I have frequented just had a Food Safety Inspection by the local authority and on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being lsquocause for concernrsquo and 5 being lsquostandards of excellencersquo they scored zero The lovely warm welcome from the manager or the friendly service from the waitresses and waiters will not tempt me to cross their threshold again
Or is it because I still receive regular warning from the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) about mis-labelled products on our supermarket shelves having to be withdrawn It is not just of concern for those with allergies ndash where accidental or careless contamination of food with say nuts or fish can cause medical harm or discomfort ndash but for all of us when food hygiene standards have failed I do not get the sense that anyone is addressing this from a regulatory point of view
Of course all this is in the context of the total disregard dishonesty or management failure throughout the food chain supermarkets and regulatory system which allowed horsemeat to enter our food chain disguised as premium meat products If we cannot get that right what chance have we of keeping out foot and mouth disease or bird flu out of the food chain
And please donrsquot start me on the lack of trust in the energy suppliers who have such a stranglehold on us that they can put up household fuel prices with total disregard for the less well-off who face a bleak winter in the cold I listened in total bemusement at their representatives being quizzed by politicians in Parliament over the recent 10 increase in charges well above inflation ldquoPot calling the kettle blackrdquo ndash these same politicians shamelessly gave themselves an inflation-busting 11 pay rise I do not know how they sleep at night
On that low point I will get back to working on our new health and wellness radio and television for Europe We can make a difference
Best wishes

Heplth FocusBreast Cancer
By US guest contributor Debra Chew
Each October I see pink Pink walk-a-thons pink shirts pink signs and banners pink water fountains and pink ribbons Well of course October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month The US and world awareness of this important issue for womenrsquos health is particularly important to me as well for I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor I can still remember that day I had gone to Ohio to be with my mother as she had a suspicious lump removed from her breast Her surgeon was not concerned thinking the outcome would be the same as several other lumps he had removed from her breasts through the years For that reason when the call came it was quite shocking to both of us Cancer Not my mom She was too young She was fit healthy and full of life in her sixties She couldnrsquot possibly be facing cancer What did that mean for her future My first response to all those questions was to turn to God My experiences of healing mind body and soul from my youth to this time led me to choose to turn to God in time of trouble To quote the Psalmist ldquoGod is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in troublerdquo (Psalms 461) That meant I didnrsquot have to wait for an appointment or a further diagnosis or to do research online to give me a peaceful thought about my motherrsquos illness I prayed and I felt more calm and able to comfort my mom who was understandably fearful The University of TX MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched an ambitious 10-year ldquomoon shotrdquo ndash a $3 billion initiative to find a cure for cancer This is introduced when much time and money is already invested into technology and research Interestingly other less funded studies are showing a rise in success with additional approaches ndash including incorporating prayer and spirituality ndash to treating and healing cancer Research over the last decade on how prayer and spirituality affects breast (and other) cancer patients reveals promising results Similar to the participants in these studies my mother found that her spirituality was an important factor during her treatment and recovery She would
always say ldquoI know God is with me wherever I am and whatever I am going throughrdquo A March 19 2012 article entitled Spirituality and Prayer indicates that research on prayer in women with breast cancer and people with other types of cancer shows that spiritual coping may be one of the most powerful ways people draw on their own resources to deal with cancer It goes on to say other benefits of prayer included reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a more positive outlook and a stronger will to live To quote from the article The US Office of Technology Assessment looked at studies reported in the Journal of Family Practice over a 10-year time period The review found that 83 of the studies done on spirituality found a positive effect on physical health Another study looked at 12 years of reports in 2 major psychiatric journals Of the studies that measured spirituality 92 showed mental health benefits In research done specifically on women with breast cancer spirituality and prayer has been associated with less depression and a more positive sense of well-being Because of her faith in God Mom was never tempted to feel depressed about the cancer She often spoke of the hopelessness in the eyes of some of the other patients she saw on treatment day But she always felt hopeful Even when I could tell she was having a tough time she never complained She said regularly ldquoI have faith in God and I know I will beat thisrdquo And she did The year following her surgery and throughout the time she had radiation treatments I continued to pray for my mom as did many of her friends and family Her faith in God and her spiritual thought definitely helped her cope with this serious illness had a positive effect on her recovery and has played a major role in her remaining cancer-free

As a mum of four kids I am very much behind the recent Action on Additives call to ban E-numbers from childrenrsquos medicines Parents really do have enough to think about when it comes to their childrsquos welfare and nutrition without having to be fearful
of commonly used medicines aimed at children such as Calpol Paracetemol and Anbesol Teething Gel Of course I would say try not to darken the door of a pharmacy in any case and simply turn to simple kitchen cupboard remedies for common ailments but for those parents who want to offer a well established childrenrsquos medicine they surely ought to have the reassurance that they donrsquot contain colourings linked to Hyperactivity
According to the reportRevealed The Hidden Additives in Children Medicinesrsquo released by the charity Action on Additives these are seven additives with proven links to hyperactivity demonstrated in a scientific study carried out by Southampton University and commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2007 They found that 52 childrenrsquos medicines contain at least one and sometimes two or three of the so called ldquoSouthampton Seven Additivesrdquo six E-number food colourings and a preservative sodium benzoate

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American
and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

This MonthpEditorrsquos Note
Dear Reader Thank you for taking the time to read Health Triangle Magazine the online health and wellness magazine from the UK and one of a bright new generation of digital products from the integrated health and wellness media network from UK Health Radio There are several health and wellness magazines in Europe but we continue to grow from strength to strength To allow us more opportunities to interact with readers and develop content which meet their needs we now ask readers to register We remain free of charge and we still send out emails to let readers know that there is a new issue so nothing has changed there ndash above all our Privacy Policy is very clear We do not sell rent or give away our readersrsquo email address or data And we do not deluge them with emails from us either
Please remember that we welcome comments articles and photographs ndash even advertising We want this to be a two way partnership with our readers So what is exercising my mind at the moment Well apart from working with Johann on developing the content for Europe Health Television and preparing for the launch phase of Europe Health Radio in a range of European languages I remain concerned about the state of trust in food safety When I visit friends for dinner I trust that they have prepared the food safely and hygienically When my children were younger and eat dinners at school I trusted the school catering staff to provide healthy and safe meals prepared in hygienic and safe conditions ndash similarly when I eat at a restaurant I expect the same I am fortunate that I do not suffer from any food allergies But if I did I would also expect labels to be 100 per cent accurate and trustworthy The labels should be clear and truthfulSo why am I bothered at the moment Is it because one of the restaurants I have frequented just had a Food Safety Inspection by the local authority and on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being lsquocause for concernrsquo and 5 being lsquostandards of excellencersquo they scored zero The lovely warm welcome from the manager or the friendly service from the waitresses and waiters will not tempt me to cross their threshold again
Or is it because I still receive regular warning from the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) about mis-labelled products on our supermarket shelves having to be withdrawn It is not just of concern for those with allergies ndash where accidental or careless contamination of food with say nuts or fish can cause medical harm or discomfort ndash but for all of us when food hygiene standards have failed I do not get the sense that anyone is addressing this from a regulatory point of view
Of course all this is in the context of the total disregard dishonesty or management failure throughout the food chain supermarkets and regulatory system which allowed horsemeat to enter our food chain disguised as premium meat products If we cannot get that right what chance have we of keeping out foot and mouth disease or bird flu out of the food chain
And please donrsquot start me on the lack of trust in the energy suppliers who have such a stranglehold on us that they can put up household fuel prices with total disregard for the less well-off who face a bleak winter in the cold I listened in total bemusement at their representatives being quizzed by politicians in Parliament over the recent 10 increase in charges well above inflation ldquoPot calling the kettle blackrdquo ndash these same politicians shamelessly gave themselves an inflation-busting 11 pay rise I do not know how they sleep at night
On that low point I will get back to working on our new health and wellness radio and television for Europe We can make a difference
Best wishes

Heplth FocusBreast Cancer
By US guest contributor Debra Chew
Each October I see pink Pink walk-a-thons pink shirts pink signs and banners pink water fountains and pink ribbons Well of course October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month The US and world awareness of this important issue for womenrsquos health is particularly important to me as well for I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor I can still remember that day I had gone to Ohio to be with my mother as she had a suspicious lump removed from her breast Her surgeon was not concerned thinking the outcome would be the same as several other lumps he had removed from her breasts through the years For that reason when the call came it was quite shocking to both of us Cancer Not my mom She was too young She was fit healthy and full of life in her sixties She couldnrsquot possibly be facing cancer What did that mean for her future My first response to all those questions was to turn to God My experiences of healing mind body and soul from my youth to this time led me to choose to turn to God in time of trouble To quote the Psalmist ldquoGod is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in troublerdquo (Psalms 461) That meant I didnrsquot have to wait for an appointment or a further diagnosis or to do research online to give me a peaceful thought about my motherrsquos illness I prayed and I felt more calm and able to comfort my mom who was understandably fearful The University of TX MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched an ambitious 10-year ldquomoon shotrdquo ndash a $3 billion initiative to find a cure for cancer This is introduced when much time and money is already invested into technology and research Interestingly other less funded studies are showing a rise in success with additional approaches ndash including incorporating prayer and spirituality ndash to treating and healing cancer Research over the last decade on how prayer and spirituality affects breast (and other) cancer patients reveals promising results Similar to the participants in these studies my mother found that her spirituality was an important factor during her treatment and recovery She would
always say ldquoI know God is with me wherever I am and whatever I am going throughrdquo A March 19 2012 article entitled Spirituality and Prayer indicates that research on prayer in women with breast cancer and people with other types of cancer shows that spiritual coping may be one of the most powerful ways people draw on their own resources to deal with cancer It goes on to say other benefits of prayer included reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a more positive outlook and a stronger will to live To quote from the article The US Office of Technology Assessment looked at studies reported in the Journal of Family Practice over a 10-year time period The review found that 83 of the studies done on spirituality found a positive effect on physical health Another study looked at 12 years of reports in 2 major psychiatric journals Of the studies that measured spirituality 92 showed mental health benefits In research done specifically on women with breast cancer spirituality and prayer has been associated with less depression and a more positive sense of well-being Because of her faith in God Mom was never tempted to feel depressed about the cancer She often spoke of the hopelessness in the eyes of some of the other patients she saw on treatment day But she always felt hopeful Even when I could tell she was having a tough time she never complained She said regularly ldquoI have faith in God and I know I will beat thisrdquo And she did The year following her surgery and throughout the time she had radiation treatments I continued to pray for my mom as did many of her friends and family Her faith in God and her spiritual thought definitely helped her cope with this serious illness had a positive effect on her recovery and has played a major role in her remaining cancer-free

As a mum of four kids I am very much behind the recent Action on Additives call to ban E-numbers from childrenrsquos medicines Parents really do have enough to think about when it comes to their childrsquos welfare and nutrition without having to be fearful
of commonly used medicines aimed at children such as Calpol Paracetemol and Anbesol Teething Gel Of course I would say try not to darken the door of a pharmacy in any case and simply turn to simple kitchen cupboard remedies for common ailments but for those parents who want to offer a well established childrenrsquos medicine they surely ought to have the reassurance that they donrsquot contain colourings linked to Hyperactivity
According to the reportRevealed The Hidden Additives in Children Medicinesrsquo released by the charity Action on Additives these are seven additives with proven links to hyperactivity demonstrated in a scientific study carried out by Southampton University and commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2007 They found that 52 childrenrsquos medicines contain at least one and sometimes two or three of the so called ldquoSouthampton Seven Additivesrdquo six E-number food colourings and a preservative sodium benzoate

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

This MonthpEditorrsquos Note
Dear Reader Thank you for taking the time to read Health Triangle Magazine the online health and wellness magazine from the UK and one of a bright new generation of digital products from the integrated health and wellness media network from UK Health Radio There are several health and wellness magazines in Europe but we continue to grow from strength to strength To allow us more opportunities to interact with readers and develop content which meet their needs we now ask readers to register We remain free of charge and we still send out emails to let readers know that there is a new issue so nothing has changed there ndash above all our Privacy Policy is very clear We do not sell rent or give away our readersrsquo email address or data And we do not deluge them with emails from us either
Please remember that we welcome comments articles and photographs ndash even advertising We want this to be a two way partnership with our readers So what is exercising my mind at the moment Well apart from working with Johann on developing the content for Europe Health Television and preparing for the launch phase of Europe Health Radio in a range of European languages I remain concerned about the state of trust in food safety When I visit friends for dinner I trust that they have prepared the food safely and hygienically When my children were younger and eat dinners at school I trusted the school catering staff to provide healthy and safe meals prepared in hygienic and safe conditions ndash similarly when I eat at a restaurant I expect the same I am fortunate that I do not suffer from any food allergies But if I did I would also expect labels to be 100 per cent accurate and trustworthy The labels should be clear and truthfulSo why am I bothered at the moment Is it because one of the restaurants I have frequented just had a Food Safety Inspection by the local authority and on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being lsquocause for concernrsquo and 5 being lsquostandards of excellencersquo they scored zero The lovely warm welcome from the manager or the friendly service from the waitresses and waiters will not tempt me to cross their threshold again
Or is it because I still receive regular warning from the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) about mis-labelled products on our supermarket shelves having to be withdrawn It is not just of concern for those with allergies ndash where accidental or careless contamination of food with say nuts or fish can cause medical harm or discomfort ndash but for all of us when food hygiene standards have failed I do not get the sense that anyone is addressing this from a regulatory point of view
Of course all this is in the context of the total disregard dishonesty or management failure throughout the food chain supermarkets and regulatory system which allowed horsemeat to enter our food chain disguised as premium meat products If we cannot get that right what chance have we of keeping out foot and mouth disease or bird flu out of the food chain
And please donrsquot start me on the lack of trust in the energy suppliers who have such a stranglehold on us that they can put up household fuel prices with total disregard for the less well-off who face a bleak winter in the cold I listened in total bemusement at their representatives being quizzed by politicians in Parliament over the recent 10 increase in charges well above inflation ldquoPot calling the kettle blackrdquo ndash these same politicians shamelessly gave themselves an inflation-busting 11 pay rise I do not know how they sleep at night
On that low point I will get back to working on our new health and wellness radio and television for Europe We can make a difference
Best wishes

Heplth FocusBreast Cancer
By US guest contributor Debra Chew
Each October I see pink Pink walk-a-thons pink shirts pink signs and banners pink water fountains and pink ribbons Well of course October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month The US and world awareness of this important issue for womenrsquos health is particularly important to me as well for I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor I can still remember that day I had gone to Ohio to be with my mother as she had a suspicious lump removed from her breast Her surgeon was not concerned thinking the outcome would be the same as several other lumps he had removed from her breasts through the years For that reason when the call came it was quite shocking to both of us Cancer Not my mom She was too young She was fit healthy and full of life in her sixties She couldnrsquot possibly be facing cancer What did that mean for her future My first response to all those questions was to turn to God My experiences of healing mind body and soul from my youth to this time led me to choose to turn to God in time of trouble To quote the Psalmist ldquoGod is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in troublerdquo (Psalms 461) That meant I didnrsquot have to wait for an appointment or a further diagnosis or to do research online to give me a peaceful thought about my motherrsquos illness I prayed and I felt more calm and able to comfort my mom who was understandably fearful The University of TX MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched an ambitious 10-year ldquomoon shotrdquo ndash a $3 billion initiative to find a cure for cancer This is introduced when much time and money is already invested into technology and research Interestingly other less funded studies are showing a rise in success with additional approaches ndash including incorporating prayer and spirituality ndash to treating and healing cancer Research over the last decade on how prayer and spirituality affects breast (and other) cancer patients reveals promising results Similar to the participants in these studies my mother found that her spirituality was an important factor during her treatment and recovery She would
always say ldquoI know God is with me wherever I am and whatever I am going throughrdquo A March 19 2012 article entitled Spirituality and Prayer indicates that research on prayer in women with breast cancer and people with other types of cancer shows that spiritual coping may be one of the most powerful ways people draw on their own resources to deal with cancer It goes on to say other benefits of prayer included reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a more positive outlook and a stronger will to live To quote from the article The US Office of Technology Assessment looked at studies reported in the Journal of Family Practice over a 10-year time period The review found that 83 of the studies done on spirituality found a positive effect on physical health Another study looked at 12 years of reports in 2 major psychiatric journals Of the studies that measured spirituality 92 showed mental health benefits In research done specifically on women with breast cancer spirituality and prayer has been associated with less depression and a more positive sense of well-being Because of her faith in God Mom was never tempted to feel depressed about the cancer She often spoke of the hopelessness in the eyes of some of the other patients she saw on treatment day But she always felt hopeful Even when I could tell she was having a tough time she never complained She said regularly ldquoI have faith in God and I know I will beat thisrdquo And she did The year following her surgery and throughout the time she had radiation treatments I continued to pray for my mom as did many of her friends and family Her faith in God and her spiritual thought definitely helped her cope with this serious illness had a positive effect on her recovery and has played a major role in her remaining cancer-free

As a mum of four kids I am very much behind the recent Action on Additives call to ban E-numbers from childrenrsquos medicines Parents really do have enough to think about when it comes to their childrsquos welfare and nutrition without having to be fearful
of commonly used medicines aimed at children such as Calpol Paracetemol and Anbesol Teething Gel Of course I would say try not to darken the door of a pharmacy in any case and simply turn to simple kitchen cupboard remedies for common ailments but for those parents who want to offer a well established childrenrsquos medicine they surely ought to have the reassurance that they donrsquot contain colourings linked to Hyperactivity
According to the reportRevealed The Hidden Additives in Children Medicinesrsquo released by the charity Action on Additives these are seven additives with proven links to hyperactivity demonstrated in a scientific study carried out by Southampton University and commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2007 They found that 52 childrenrsquos medicines contain at least one and sometimes two or three of the so called ldquoSouthampton Seven Additivesrdquo six E-number food colourings and a preservative sodium benzoate

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Heplth FocusBreast Cancer
By US guest contributor Debra Chew
Each October I see pink Pink walk-a-thons pink shirts pink signs and banners pink water fountains and pink ribbons Well of course October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month The US and world awareness of this important issue for womenrsquos health is particularly important to me as well for I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor I can still remember that day I had gone to Ohio to be with my mother as she had a suspicious lump removed from her breast Her surgeon was not concerned thinking the outcome would be the same as several other lumps he had removed from her breasts through the years For that reason when the call came it was quite shocking to both of us Cancer Not my mom She was too young She was fit healthy and full of life in her sixties She couldnrsquot possibly be facing cancer What did that mean for her future My first response to all those questions was to turn to God My experiences of healing mind body and soul from my youth to this time led me to choose to turn to God in time of trouble To quote the Psalmist ldquoGod is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in troublerdquo (Psalms 461) That meant I didnrsquot have to wait for an appointment or a further diagnosis or to do research online to give me a peaceful thought about my motherrsquos illness I prayed and I felt more calm and able to comfort my mom who was understandably fearful The University of TX MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched an ambitious 10-year ldquomoon shotrdquo ndash a $3 billion initiative to find a cure for cancer This is introduced when much time and money is already invested into technology and research Interestingly other less funded studies are showing a rise in success with additional approaches ndash including incorporating prayer and spirituality ndash to treating and healing cancer Research over the last decade on how prayer and spirituality affects breast (and other) cancer patients reveals promising results Similar to the participants in these studies my mother found that her spirituality was an important factor during her treatment and recovery She would
always say ldquoI know God is with me wherever I am and whatever I am going throughrdquo A March 19 2012 article entitled Spirituality and Prayer indicates that research on prayer in women with breast cancer and people with other types of cancer shows that spiritual coping may be one of the most powerful ways people draw on their own resources to deal with cancer It goes on to say other benefits of prayer included reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a more positive outlook and a stronger will to live To quote from the article The US Office of Technology Assessment looked at studies reported in the Journal of Family Practice over a 10-year time period The review found that 83 of the studies done on spirituality found a positive effect on physical health Another study looked at 12 years of reports in 2 major psychiatric journals Of the studies that measured spirituality 92 showed mental health benefits In research done specifically on women with breast cancer spirituality and prayer has been associated with less depression and a more positive sense of well-being Because of her faith in God Mom was never tempted to feel depressed about the cancer She often spoke of the hopelessness in the eyes of some of the other patients she saw on treatment day But she always felt hopeful Even when I could tell she was having a tough time she never complained She said regularly ldquoI have faith in God and I know I will beat thisrdquo And she did The year following her surgery and throughout the time she had radiation treatments I continued to pray for my mom as did many of her friends and family Her faith in God and her spiritual thought definitely helped her cope with this serious illness had a positive effect on her recovery and has played a major role in her remaining cancer-free

As a mum of four kids I am very much behind the recent Action on Additives call to ban E-numbers from childrenrsquos medicines Parents really do have enough to think about when it comes to their childrsquos welfare and nutrition without having to be fearful
of commonly used medicines aimed at children such as Calpol Paracetemol and Anbesol Teething Gel Of course I would say try not to darken the door of a pharmacy in any case and simply turn to simple kitchen cupboard remedies for common ailments but for those parents who want to offer a well established childrenrsquos medicine they surely ought to have the reassurance that they donrsquot contain colourings linked to Hyperactivity
According to the reportRevealed The Hidden Additives in Children Medicinesrsquo released by the charity Action on Additives these are seven additives with proven links to hyperactivity demonstrated in a scientific study carried out by Southampton University and commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2007 They found that 52 childrenrsquos medicines contain at least one and sometimes two or three of the so called ldquoSouthampton Seven Additivesrdquo six E-number food colourings and a preservative sodium benzoate

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing

bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Heplth FocusBreast Cancer
By US guest contributor Debra Chew
Each October I see pink Pink walk-a-thons pink shirts pink signs and banners pink water fountains and pink ribbons Well of course October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month The US and world awareness of this important issue for womenrsquos health is particularly important to me as well for I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor I can still remember that day I had gone to Ohio to be with my mother as she had a suspicious lump removed from her breast Her surgeon was not concerned thinking the outcome would be the same as several other lumps he had removed from her breasts through the years For that reason when the call came it was quite shocking to both of us Cancer Not my mom She was too young She was fit healthy and full of life in her sixties She couldnrsquot possibly be facing cancer What did that mean for her future My first response to all those questions was to turn to God My experiences of healing mind body and soul from my youth to this time led me to choose to turn to God in time of trouble To quote the Psalmist ldquoGod is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in troublerdquo (Psalms 461) That meant I didnrsquot have to wait for an appointment or a further diagnosis or to do research online to give me a peaceful thought about my motherrsquos illness I prayed and I felt more calm and able to comfort my mom who was understandably fearful The University of TX MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched an ambitious 10-year ldquomoon shotrdquo ndash a $3 billion initiative to find a cure for cancer This is introduced when much time and money is already invested into technology and research Interestingly other less funded studies are showing a rise in success with additional approaches ndash including incorporating prayer and spirituality ndash to treating and healing cancer Research over the last decade on how prayer and spirituality affects breast (and other) cancer patients reveals promising results Similar to the participants in these studies my mother found that her spirituality was an important factor during her treatment and recovery She would
always say ldquoI know God is with me wherever I am and whatever I am going throughrdquo A March 19 2012 article entitled Spirituality and Prayer indicates that research on prayer in women with breast cancer and people with other types of cancer shows that spiritual coping may be one of the most powerful ways people draw on their own resources to deal with cancer It goes on to say other benefits of prayer included reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a more positive outlook and a stronger will to live To quote from the article The US Office of Technology Assessment looked at studies reported in the Journal of Family Practice over a 10-year time period The review found that 83 of the studies done on spirituality found a positive effect on physical health Another study looked at 12 years of reports in 2 major psychiatric journals Of the studies that measured spirituality 92 showed mental health benefits In research done specifically on women with breast cancer spirituality and prayer has been associated with less depression and a more positive sense of well-being Because of her faith in God Mom was never tempted to feel depressed about the cancer She often spoke of the hopelessness in the eyes of some of the other patients she saw on treatment day But she always felt hopeful Even when I could tell she was having a tough time she never complained She said regularly ldquoI have faith in God and I know I will beat thisrdquo And she did The year following her surgery and throughout the time she had radiation treatments I continued to pray for my mom as did many of her friends and family Her faith in God and her spiritual thought definitely helped her cope with this serious illness had a positive effect on her recovery and has played a major role in her remaining cancer-free

As a mum of four kids I am very much behind the recent Action on Additives call to ban E-numbers from childrenrsquos medicines Parents really do have enough to think about when it comes to their childrsquos welfare and nutrition without having to be fearful
of commonly used medicines aimed at children such as Calpol Paracetemol and Anbesol Teething Gel Of course I would say try not to darken the door of a pharmacy in any case and simply turn to simple kitchen cupboard remedies for common ailments but for those parents who want to offer a well established childrenrsquos medicine they surely ought to have the reassurance that they donrsquot contain colourings linked to Hyperactivity
According to the reportRevealed The Hidden Additives in Children Medicinesrsquo released by the charity Action on Additives these are seven additives with proven links to hyperactivity demonstrated in a scientific study carried out by Southampton University and commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2007 They found that 52 childrenrsquos medicines contain at least one and sometimes two or three of the so called ldquoSouthampton Seven Additivesrdquo six E-number food colourings and a preservative sodium benzoate

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American
and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Heplth FocusBreast Cancer
By US guest contributor Debra Chew
Each October I see pink Pink walk-a-thons pink shirts pink signs and banners pink water fountains and pink ribbons Well of course October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month The US and world awareness of this important issue for womenrsquos health is particularly important to me as well for I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor I can still remember that day I had gone to Ohio to be with my mother as she had a suspicious lump removed from her breast Her surgeon was not concerned thinking the outcome would be the same as several other lumps he had removed from her breasts through the years For that reason when the call came it was quite shocking to both of us Cancer Not my mom She was too young She was fit healthy and full of life in her sixties She couldnrsquot possibly be facing cancer What did that mean for her future My first response to all those questions was to turn to God My experiences of healing mind body and soul from my youth to this time led me to choose to turn to God in time of trouble To quote the Psalmist ldquoGod is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in troublerdquo (Psalms 461) That meant I didnrsquot have to wait for an appointment or a further diagnosis or to do research online to give me a peaceful thought about my motherrsquos illness I prayed and I felt more calm and able to comfort my mom who was understandably fearful The University of TX MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched an ambitious 10-year ldquomoon shotrdquo ndash a $3 billion initiative to find a cure for cancer This is introduced when much time and money is already invested into technology and research Interestingly other less funded studies are showing a rise in success with additional approaches ndash including incorporating prayer and spirituality ndash to treating and healing cancer Research over the last decade on how prayer and spirituality affects breast (and other) cancer patients reveals promising results Similar to the participants in these studies my mother found that her spirituality was an important factor during her treatment and recovery She would
always say ldquoI know God is with me wherever I am and whatever I am going throughrdquo A March 19 2012 article entitled Spirituality and Prayer indicates that research on prayer in women with breast cancer and people with other types of cancer shows that spiritual coping may be one of the most powerful ways people draw on their own resources to deal with cancer It goes on to say other benefits of prayer included reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a more positive outlook and a stronger will to live To quote from the article The US Office of Technology Assessment looked at studies reported in the Journal of Family Practice over a 10-year time period The review found that 83 of the studies done on spirituality found a positive effect on physical health Another study looked at 12 years of reports in 2 major psychiatric journals Of the studies that measured spirituality 92 showed mental health benefits In research done specifically on women with breast cancer spirituality and prayer has been associated with less depression and a more positive sense of well-being Because of her faith in God Mom was never tempted to feel depressed about the cancer She often spoke of the hopelessness in the eyes of some of the other patients she saw on treatment day But she always felt hopeful Even when I could tell she was having a tough time she never complained She said regularly ldquoI have faith in God and I know I will beat thisrdquo And she did The year following her surgery and throughout the time she had radiation treatments I continued to pray for my mom as did many of her friends and family Her faith in God and her spiritual thought definitely helped her cope with this serious illness had a positive effect on her recovery and has played a major role in her remaining cancer-free

As a mum of four kids I am very much behind the recent Action on Additives call to ban E-numbers from childrenrsquos medicines Parents really do have enough to think about when it comes to their childrsquos welfare and nutrition without having to be fearful
of commonly used medicines aimed at children such as Calpol Paracetemol and Anbesol Teething Gel Of course I would say try not to darken the door of a pharmacy in any case and simply turn to simple kitchen cupboard remedies for common ailments but for those parents who want to offer a well established childrenrsquos medicine they surely ought to have the reassurance that they donrsquot contain colourings linked to Hyperactivity
According to the reportRevealed The Hidden Additives in Children Medicinesrsquo released by the charity Action on Additives these are seven additives with proven links to hyperactivity demonstrated in a scientific study carried out by Southampton University and commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2007 They found that 52 childrenrsquos medicines contain at least one and sometimes two or three of the so called ldquoSouthampton Seven Additivesrdquo six E-number food colourings and a preservative sodium benzoate

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered

Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

always say ldquoI know God is with me wherever I am and whatever I am going throughrdquo A March 19 2012 article entitled Spirituality and Prayer indicates that research on prayer in women with breast cancer and people with other types of cancer shows that spiritual coping may be one of the most powerful ways people draw on their own resources to deal with cancer It goes on to say other benefits of prayer included reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a more positive outlook and a stronger will to live To quote from the article The US Office of Technology Assessment looked at studies reported in the Journal of Family Practice over a 10-year time period The review found that 83 of the studies done on spirituality found a positive effect on physical health Another study looked at 12 years of reports in 2 major psychiatric journals Of the studies that measured spirituality 92 showed mental health benefits In research done specifically on women with breast cancer spirituality and prayer has been associated with less depression and a more positive sense of well-being Because of her faith in God Mom was never tempted to feel depressed about the cancer She often spoke of the hopelessness in the eyes of some of the other patients she saw on treatment day But she always felt hopeful Even when I could tell she was having a tough time she never complained She said regularly ldquoI have faith in God and I know I will beat thisrdquo And she did The year following her surgery and throughout the time she had radiation treatments I continued to pray for my mom as did many of her friends and family Her faith in God and her spiritual thought definitely helped her cope with this serious illness had a positive effect on her recovery and has played a major role in her remaining cancer-free

As a mum of four kids I am very much behind the recent Action on Additives call to ban E-numbers from childrenrsquos medicines Parents really do have enough to think about when it comes to their childrsquos welfare and nutrition without having to be fearful
of commonly used medicines aimed at children such as Calpol Paracetemol and Anbesol Teething Gel Of course I would say try not to darken the door of a pharmacy in any case and simply turn to simple kitchen cupboard remedies for common ailments but for those parents who want to offer a well established childrenrsquos medicine they surely ought to have the reassurance that they donrsquot contain colourings linked to Hyperactivity
According to the reportRevealed The Hidden Additives in Children Medicinesrsquo released by the charity Action on Additives these are seven additives with proven links to hyperactivity demonstrated in a scientific study carried out by Southampton University and commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2007 They found that 52 childrenrsquos medicines contain at least one and sometimes two or three of the so called ldquoSouthampton Seven Additivesrdquo six E-number food colourings and a preservative sodium benzoate

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American
and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

As a mum of four kids I am very much behind the recent Action on Additives call to ban E-numbers from childrenrsquos medicines Parents really do have enough to think about when it comes to their childrsquos welfare and nutrition without having to be fearful
of commonly used medicines aimed at children such as Calpol Paracetemol and Anbesol Teething Gel Of course I would say try not to darken the door of a pharmacy in any case and simply turn to simple kitchen cupboard remedies for common ailments but for those parents who want to offer a well established childrenrsquos medicine they surely ought to have the reassurance that they donrsquot contain colourings linked to Hyperactivity
According to the reportRevealed The Hidden Additives in Children Medicinesrsquo released by the charity Action on Additives these are seven additives with proven links to hyperactivity demonstrated in a scientific study carried out by Southampton University and commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2007 They found that 52 childrenrsquos medicines contain at least one and sometimes two or three of the so called ldquoSouthampton Seven Additivesrdquo six E-number food colourings and a preservative sodium benzoate

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American
and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

Disease and InjuryWith grateful thanks to Yes ICantSeeYou
bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Wersquore all very used to checking the ingredients on the food we buy keeping a keen eye out for e-numbers and GMO etc and thankfully food manufacturers have removed most of the colourings from hundreds of snacks sweets and other products after the FSA called for a voluntary ban in 2008
It seems bizarre then that the same rules (or guidelines) donrsquot apply to medicines Four of the six colourings voluntarily withdrawn from food and drink products because of links to hyperactivity are found in childrenrsquos medicines They are Quinoline Yellow (E104) Sunset Yellow (E110) Carmoisine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124) At least one of these colourings is found in 19 childrenrsquos medicines Three of the colourings ndash E110 E122 and E124 are being investigated by EFSA for genotoxicity One or more is used in 15 medicines Six medicines containing these colourings are marketed as suitable for babies and can be bought over the counter They include Calpol Paracetamol Infant Suspension (2 months to 6 years) Boots Paracetamol Oral Suspension (3 months plus) and Anbesol Teething Gel (teething babies) The preservative Sodium Benzoate (E211) was in 37 childrenrsquos medicines including a Boots cough syrup Tixylix and six different Benylin cough mixtures or syrups Four medicines contained both a colouring and the preservative
Of course Medicines are subject to different regulations from food and drink Synthetic colourings are banned from food and drinks targeted specifically at children under 36 months under the lsquoWeaning Directiversquo (European Commission Directive 2006125EC) because childrenrsquos developing physiology places them in a special risk group in relation to the ingestion of additives Yet even medicines for babies as young as 2 months such as Calpol contains colourings which are withdrawn from baby food
The charity Action on Additives believes that the same protection offered to young children by the Food Standards Agency should also apply to medicines and I wholeheartedly agree and in fact not just for childrenrsquos medicines I carry it through to ALL medicines When I
was prescribed a Vitamin D3 supplement a while back the Pharmacist asked if Irsquod like Tutti fruity or lemon flavour Alarm bells rang and I asked to see the ingredient list In addition to the fact that they contained only around 200ie of vitamin D (not really enough to make a significant difference) they also contained artificial sweeteners flavourings and Irsquod guess ndash these colourings which are banned in food Fortunately I knew about an oral spray offering 3000ie of Vitamin D3 and happily raised my levels using that
Action on Additives say ldquoWe are concerned that some of our most trusted childrenrsquos medicines contain unnecessary colourings that have been linked to hyperactivity and attention deficit disordersrdquo says Lizzie Vann-Thrasher Co-ordinator of Action on Additives ldquoManufacturers of childrenrsquos medicines should follow the example of the food and drinks industry and remove these colourings from childrenrsquos medicinesrdquo
To alert parents to the research Action on Additives have published A Parentrsquos

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

THE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND
DISAPPEARED
Written Jonas Jonasson translated by Rod Bradbury
Highly recommended
According to the latest available data from the Office of National Statistics there has been a fivefold increase in the number of surviving centenarians in England and Wales since 1981
Those aged 100+ numbered 2420 then and 12320 in 2012Those aged 90+ also increased by 33 in the last 10 years over here so longevity rules OK
When questioned the Scandinavian author Jonas Jonasson proclaims he wanted to create a character who had witnessed a whole century of history The translator Rod Bradbury does an excellent job in bringing this colourful story to life in crisp accessible English a labour of love across almost 400 fanciful pages Like Tinkerbell for grownups this is an amoral fantasy that demands the total suspension of disbelief for complete enjoyment An erratic centenarian explosives expert newly arrived in an old peoplersquos home in Sweden our hero finds the prospect of a birthday party attended by the mayor just too much to bear He climbs out of his room and does a runner Or at least an ambler Allan Karlsson ambles to the local bus-stop in his slippers with no escape plan beyond having the fare money to get away Things
happen And continue to happen It gets curiouser and curiouser The plot thickens If you remain sceptical it becomes more and more far-fetched The baddies are very bad The goodies are not very good Humans are shown as morally frail as well as physically vulnerable to both cold and elephants Money solves everything yet creates more problems Human life is not considered sacred If you are very bad chances are you will get your just desserts If you are either rich or powerful life is altogether easier There is even a middle-aged love interest and an old age miracle The only concession to the herorsquos great age is the admission that he tends to sprinkle pee on his slippers and that he drifts off to sleep very readily The back story includes a wealth of highly incredible but entertaining flashbacks including Presidents Truman Johnson and Nixon on the one side and Stalin de Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung on the other Our hero is credited with being the primary catalyst who first helped Oppenheimer create the Atom Bomb and then later facilitated the Nuclear Arms treaty between the USA and the USSR anonymously of course It is a perception of history reminiscent of Catch 22rsquos view of World War two Like Marmite if you like it at all you may like it a lot

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American
and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Breakthrough for Cat Allergy
The allergen Feld1 in the skin and hair of cats is one of the most difficult airborne allergens to eliminate Even when a cat no longer lives there its allergen can float about for years after it has left its homeWhen a cat licks itself it spreads saliva skin cells and hormones on to its fur Then when the hair falls out it transfers the protein responsible for allergic reactions in humans onto sofas rugs tabletops and even the air It also gets stuck to peoplersquos clothes and shoes and is tracked all over This protein in the catrsquos dander reacts with a common environmental bacterial toxin known as lipopolysaccharides or LPS When these two contaminates combine they activate an immune receptor in humans called TLR 4 Thatrsquos when we begin to sneeze Cat allergy attacks range from sneezing coughing tightness of chest and wheezing to hives or a rash on the chest and face Red itchy eyes is another common consequence of cat allergies These symptoms usually get worse after touching a cat or after you have entered a room where a cat is or has been present
Scientists now know that a cure for cat allergy will involve blocking this protein from reacting with the immune systemLatest research Adiga Life Sciences a biomedical research firm based in Alberta USAhas announced that they have reached a breakthrough in their quest for a cat allergy vaccine Early trials were successful and Adiga has begun fine-tuning the dosage of the vaccine While this is very exciting news indeed it could still take 10 to 20 years for this kind of product to pass through the trials and regulation necessary to enter the marketplace Meanwhile in Britain researchers at Cambridge University who located the protein in cat dander that triggers an allergic reaction say their cat allergy research may be able to deliver a cure as either a pill or through an inhaler within the next five yearsrdquoThis is the first time we have discovered the process that leads to the allergic reactionrdquo Dr Clare Bryant lead author of the cat allergy research study said ldquoIt opens up a whole new type of drug to treat itrdquo Until these drugs become available cat allergics must struggle to avoid friends and family who own a moggy or face the heartbreaking prospect of having to rehouse their own beloved pet
Natural breakthroughHowever some new Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops have recently come onto the market
to offer a natural alternative Created In association with The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy the Drops work on the same homeopathic principle of treating like with like as the hugely successful Hayfever Desensitisation Drops This Homeopathic Sublingual Immunotherapy as it is known involves taking tiny diluted doses of cat allergen under the tongue over a period of time This helps the body get used to the allergen and stop it reacting with the symptoms of allergy How long desensitisation takes depends on the individual but most users report a reduction in the severity of symptoms within a couple of weeks Cat Allergy Desensitisation Drops are all-natural suitable for adults and children over 3 and if yoursquore desperate to keep your cat well worth a try

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American
and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American
and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

The UK Health Radio Network vision for a UK and European integrated health media network drew ever closer with the recent launch of Europe Health Television with the tagline ldquoReal Feel Good Televisionrdquo In late 2011 Johann Ilgenfritz and John Hicks sat down in the Royal Opera House coffee bar in Covent Garden London and shared their mutual vision for an integrated health and wellness media network giving everyone the opportunity to ldquohave a voicerdquo in all health and wellness issues ndash whether campaigners health professionals sufferers carers pharmaceutical companies nutritionists or natural health producers They started with UK Health Radio on 22nd December 2012 an internet radio station broadcasting 24 hours a day from London using health radio shows content borrowed from American
and Canadian radio stations as there were none available in the UK Since then they have encouraged and developed a whole host of lsquohome grownrsquo presenters who produce radio shows covering everything from nutrition to acupuncture poems to stress relief or how to cope with back pain This includes Johnrsquos own weekly current affairs programme lsquoThe Health Kicks Show with John Hicksrsquo (wwwhealth-kickscouk) which is syndicated to 23 radio stations worldwide ndash from Arizona or Zimbabwe John takes the show out lsquoon the roadrsquo to national and international events and locations ndash from medical spas to natural burial centresThe station is now the official media partner of a wide range of major health and wellness organisations and events worldwide Arguably UK Health Radio is now the leading UK and European internet health and wellbeing radio station The radio station was followed by the Health Triangle Magazine (wwwHealthTriangleMagazinecom) a Europea-wide free digital online health and wellness magazine with a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million email addresses With regular guest contributors including household names in the UK like ITVrsquos Dr Hilary Jones and BBC Radio 2rsquos Janey Lee Grace the magazine grows from strength to strength The Network interacts readily with listeners and readers having built up a Twitter following of over 70000 people worldwide(ukhealthradio europehealthTV and healthkicksshow) and Facebook pages This takes a huge amount of time every day but it has led to the development of daily health news bulletins (wwwhealthnewsdailycouk) a free e-mail service which sends a daily digital news magazine direct to subscribersThese successes high viewing numbers on their

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

Disease and InjuryWith grateful thanks to Yes ICantSeeYou
bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

Disease and InjuryWith grateful thanks to Yes ICantSeeYou
bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Fat Who Me
Irsquove always being a stocky bloke a typical endomorph ndash a soft and round body with a slow metabolism someone who found it easy to gain fat but hard to lose it However with hard and constant exercise I could pass muster as a meso-morph ndash ie athletic with a slim waist Up until my late 30rsquos thatrsquos just what I did I was very active playing a lot of competitive sport and training three or four times a week ndash until I had a serious injury and gave up for good At that point I weighed 13 stone had a 44 inch chest and a 32 inch waist Moving forward to August 2012 and my an-nual health check I was warned (again) by my doctor about my weight and lack of exercise In addition my blood-sugar levels were getting dan-gerously high at 42 muolmol This came as quite a shock but it was also a wakeup call (Diabetes sets in at 48 muolmol) Time to take a hard look at myself I was (and still am) 5 foot 10 inches tall weighed 17 frac12 stone with a BMI 341 (obese) My chest meas-ured 46 inches and waist 44 I was medicating for high blood pressure Time to diet by Christmas I had lost half a stone It was hell I felt permanently hungry and secretly grazing whenever I thought my wife wasnrsquot looking In the two weeks over Christmas I put it all back on
Time for plan B I started to find out about food what the body needs and how the body makes use of it What I discovered might be blin-dingly obvious to many but all I can say is that it came as total shock to me ndash It wasnrsquot fat that was making me fat it was SUGAR Discovering that just about everything I thought I knew about food was wrong really knocked me back On reflection it was obvious though If eating muesli low fat yoghurts and all the other lsquohealthy stuffrsquo was the answer to getting slim ldquoWhy was I fatrdquo
A total rethink was needed time to cut back on sugar ndash and Irsquom especially talking about hidden sugars ndash I never was one for adding sugar to my meals I started at the beginning I reduced the hidden sugar in my breakfast from 12 to 05 grams and I then extended the same policy to everything I ate or drank Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating Now Irsquom 14 stone with a 44 inch chest 38 inch waist and a BMI of 261 Irsquom still on course to my target weight of 13 frac12 stone Best of all my bloodsugar had fallen to 35 muolmol Fantastic stuff
I was so pleased with the results that I have now created a website in the hope that others may also benefit

How can I tell if I have caught a sexually transmitted infection and where can I go for
advice
Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

Disease and InjuryWith grateful thanks to Yes ICantSeeYou
bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

Certain symptoms can point to an obvious sexually transmitted infection Where there has been unprotected sex with a new partner whose previous sexual health is not known common symptoms include a yellow or green discharge from the vagina or an unpleasant odour from the vagina There may be burning during or after sex Bleeding between periods may be associated with STIs as can pain during sex either at the outside near the opening of the vagina or deep inside during deep penetration and thrusting Finally pain in the lower abdomen may be associated with exposure to an STI In men any new discharge from the penis of any colour or consistency and pain in the scrotum and testicles may be experienced In both sexes pain or discomfort when passing urine and any itch burning or tingling around the genital area may be the first sign Also any blistering sores ulcers spots or lumps around the genitalia or the anus may be the first manifestations of a sexual infection
With certain infections such as the commonest chlamydia 50 of men and 70-80 of women actually have no symptoms whatsoever even though they are infected Symptoms may occur 1-3 weeks after exposure or even many months later than that but symptoms do not always appear so quickly and sometimes only after the infection has spread to other parts of the body such as the fallopian tubes which can result in infertility Similarly herpes infections can fail to manifest themselves for months or even years after exposure and even genital warts which may cause visible lumps around the genitals and anal area may take up to a year to develop Itrsquos possible for people to be infected by the virus that causes genital warts and can lead to changes in the cervix resulting in cervical cancer without any obvious symptoms being apparent Even gonorrhoea may not produce obvious symptoms in 50 of women and 10 of men and all the time there is a risk of this infection being passed on to somebody else because of lack of absence of symptoms HIV too which weakens the immune system and in its final stages leads to the vulnerability of life-threatening infections when AIDS develops will not produce
symptoms when somebody is first exposed leading to nasty surprises and even shock many years later when a blood test may prove positive There are many sources of professional help for the people who think they may have been exposed to an STI Free and confidential advice where nobody will judge you or your lifestyle is available from your GP from the local sexual health clinic or from a genito-urinary medicine clinic You may also wish to avail yourself of an online service made available by online pharmacy help express where you can have a consultation with a doctor who can if appropriate arrange delivery of the right type of treatment to treat your infection

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered

Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

whilst your hair is still wet
bull Always make sure in during very cold spells you

coat to keep well insulated

season Lovely and warm
bull Try to avoid staying out in the cold for lengthy
periods if you can

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered
by Stella KazazisUK Health Radio Presenter
HeplthMatters
Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

Disease and InjuryWith grateful thanks to Yes ICantSeeYou
bull Monday is the day of the week when the risk of heart attack is greatest Yet another reason to loathe Mondays A ten-year study in Scotland found that 20 more people die of heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week Researchers theorize that itrsquos a combination of too much fun over the weekend with the stress of going back to work that causes the increase
bull Humans can make do longer without food than sleep While you might feel better prepared to stay up all night partying than to give up eating that feeling will be relatively short lived Provided there is water the average human could survive a month to
two months without food depending on their body fat and other factors Sleep deprived people however start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes after only a few sleepless days The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 11 days at the end of which the experimenter was awake but stumbled over words hallucinated and frequently forgot what he was doing
bull A simple moderately severe sunburn damages the blood vessels extensively How extensively Studies have shown that it can take four to fifteen months for them to return to their normal condition Consider that the next time yoursquore feeling too lazy to apply sunscreen before heading outside
bull Over 90 of diseases are caused or complicated by stress That high stress job you have could be doing more than just wearing you down each day It could also be increasing your chances of having a variety of serious medical conditions like depression high blood pressure and heart disease
bull A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is been decapitated While it might be gross to think about the blood in the head may be enough to keep someone alive and conscious for a few seconds after the head has been separated from the body though reports as to the ac curacy of this are widely varying

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once

Do we as parents find our teenagers difficult
Do we get together with other parents and feel that it is a stage that our childchildren isare going through and that we just have to grin and bare it
I would like to tell you that YOU can do something about it You can teach your teenager how amp what they do affect their life moods body and eventually even their future
The era that we are in today ndash everything seems to be going super fast Our children no matter their age seem to be growing too fast too and everything seems to change with timeOur bodies on the other hand are kind of the same Need the same stuff whether it is food drinks supplementation exercise amp emotional support ndash That was needed many years ago to function properly
Our bodies do not lsquomodernizersquo with each decade or millennium Our body is made up of systems which are made up of organs which are made up of cells These systems organs amp cells still need the same lsquofuelrsquo to function optimally Vitamins minerals enzymes oxygen carbon dioxide etc
So let us not be fooled that our bodies need anything different to what they needed 20 ndash 30 or even 50 years agoThe same with our teenagers bodies They need a good supply of nutrients as their bodies are growing and changing into adult bodies so that they can function as an adult and not as a child anymore
When one eats a lot of processed food drinks sodarsquos which are loaded with colourants amp sugar maybe they drink large amounts of caffeinated drinks and on top of that starts experimenting with alcohol or even worse certain drugs (prescription or over the counter or even illegal drugs) ndash all of that overloads the liver
The liver has a major role in the preparation of the quality of hormones that the body will produce Hormones as we know play a huge role in children going through pubertySo when the liver is overloaded with nonsense ndash and the liver cannot function optimally then the production of the quality of hormones will be jeopardized
The quality of the liver also has a role to play with our moods or temperament ndash whether we are quick tempered or calm and even tempered

Teenagers amp Moods
The Chinese have put an emotion to each organ ndash the liver being anger and aggression Some of you might think it is absolute rubbish ndash but lets look at alcoholics they are known to have a bad temper one might blame the alcohol ndash which is trued because it is affecting the liver
Have a look at a drug addict when they are not on their drug they are very short tempered or depressed or even lethargic Some drugs makes the temper even worse ndash it magnifies it All relating to the quality of the liver
Lets have a look at our teenagers that have a lot of processed food in their diet ndash aggressive amp temperamental or completely lethargic would be some of the common emotions they might experience
Do not be fooled that even though a quick temper or even a laziness is just an emotion ndash the quality of our food affects how we cope with things in life
Of course there will be many different emotions that a teen will go through ndash but what I am wanting you to focus on is that if the quality of their liver is lsquohealthyrsquo ndash by eating wholesome nutritious food ndash then they will be able to cope with things better ndash whether it is disappointments heartaches or even frustration

BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles

by Reg Starkey
BLUE JASMINE
The story of a fallen socialite who runs on vodka martinis Xanax and grandiosity
Woody Allen is 77 and he is still making loads of movies Blue Jasmine is the latest and if the critics are to be believed the greatest for quite a while It stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin as a golden couple in Manhattan who come to grief in no uncertain terms destroying themselves and each other with self-inflicted wounds including infidelity and commercial criminality
This is lsquoArbitragersquo revisited ndash presenting people who have got everything and still want more where the spoilt wives turn blind eyes for years and then finally blow the whistle as loudly as only rich women with dirty linen canWe see Cate Blanchett go west - from wealthy New York city socialite to unwelcome squatter in her sisterrsquos modest pad in San Francisco The only continuity of her emotional comfort is provided by numerous Xanax frequently washed down with vodka martinis This psychotic cocktail creates an uncomfortable unmanageable life but does nothing to dampen her now groundless grandiosity
In real life alcohol and Xanax are widely believed to have contributed directly to the personal and professional collapse of the once
beautiful and talented singer Whitney HoustonIn the film when poor Jasmine tells blatant lies to her rich potential rescuer we are ready to bet that it will end in tears - some time after bedtime After all she is the ex-Mrs Mini-Madoff and he is a wannabe-Congressman Surely outside of France or Italy such a relationship destined for the public eye is nothing if not doomed to failure
Woody Allen writes and directs a multi-facetted multi-level morality tale Unfortunately his name alone is enough to put thousands off seeing anything he does Like Lucy in Peanuts the negative halo effect is fatal
ldquoWhat do you think of this picture Lucyrdquo asks Charlie Brown innocently ldquoWho painted itrdquo
she enquires uncertainly ldquoI didrdquo boasts Charlie
ldquoItrsquos rubbishrdquo declares Lucy triumphantly
If Blue Jasmine were French-written and French-directed and set in say Paris and Marseilles it would probably be called a masterpiece Set in New York New England and California it is still well worth watching and well worth thinking about afterwards Without the need for sub-titles
