In recent years, many parents have urged that single vaccines should be administered to protect against the three diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella. Parents are perplexed in deciding between a single vaccine dosage and MMR dosage to protect their children. This is a true fact that administering single vaccines could reduce confidence in the vaccination programme which could lead to reduced uptake and putting more people at risk.

There is no confirmation to holding the idea that allowing single vaccines would lead to a bigger risk; the Uptake of MMR, and a real likelihood that it would have the reverse effect. Single vaccines would be less efficient than MMR, and there is no verification that they would be safer.

Rumours without any substantiated facts have tried to fail the idea of single dose vaccination. Uptake of the MMR vaccine spread all over the United Kingdom after unverified reports of a connection between the vaccine and cases of autism and inflammatory bowel disease came out. Some 3000 parents who consider that their kids were damaged by MMR are pursuing lawful action against the manufacturers, and some parents have demanded that their children be given single vaccines.

Still, the choice shall be made on the facts and for your reference some facts are described below;

1: Six separate injections have to be given over a long period of time. This is not only time consuming, but also the kids go through a painful exercise every time they are given a shot.

2: Study has revealed that fewer children would complete the full course of six jabs. That means that children are left unprotected against the diseases.

3: Babies will be at risk from their own family member like brothers and sisters who are unprotected. Children catch measles, mumps, or rubella between extended intervals; they will infect their younger brother or sisters who are still awaiting any vaccination. The most dangerous age to catch measles is under one year.

4: Children who did not have the MMR vaccine, like the ones going through cancer treatment will be more exposed to infection. Some years before MMR was introduced, half of the measles deaths occurred in children with leukaemia and similar conditions. These were children who might otherwise have survived. In the last ten years, not one child has died of acute measles.

5: Unprotected child can also put her mother at risk. Pregnant women will be at bigger risk of rubella infection from their own insecure children and the kids of their friends. If we leave young children unguarded against rubella, they will infect their own pregnant mothers or their mothers’ pregnant friends. This is exactly what happened before MMR was introduced.

There is no such substantiation at all that single vaccines have any edge or any added gain over combined vaccines. Neither is there any confirmation that single vaccines have any effect on rates of autism or bowel disease or any other such state.

People used crystals for centuries for healing and magical rituals. Their very appearance is mystifying so it’s no wonder that the Western world latched onto the use of crystals as an alternative medical treatment. Edgar Cayce, an American insurance representative who went into trances to heal people, read the past and future was the person who first made crystal healing popular in America. His uncanny accuracy about people and events that occurred at great distances from him gave him credibility when he talked of the lost city of Atlantis in the 1930’s. He told of the amazing power of the crystal and how the citizens of Atlantis used that power for energy, communication and power. Today, we use crystal substances in our computers.

The belief that the crystal is a tool that magnifies and isolates the energy of the universe to heal specific areas of the body has long been a tool for ancient healers. The colour of the stone used depends on the part of the body they attempt to heal. The “prana” from India and “chi” of Chinese medicine both are life forces that circulate through the body. The chakra is the energy whorls located at various spots where the prana exists. In Chinese medicine, the chi follows a meridian and circulates. The use of crystals, in both cases, is to either enhance the energy or unblock it at specific points.

Originally, there were many chakra points, but now there are seven, which are commonly used. The root chakra located on the tailbone uses garnet, bloodstone, rubies and onyx to bring energy. The sacral chakra in the abdomen below the navel vibrates to carnelian, moonstone and hematite. The solar plexus chakra in the area directly above the navel uses citrine, amber and topaz. If you need to improve your heart, use rose quartz or Chinese fluorite. Aquamarine and turquoise are the healers for the throat chakra and the forehead chakra requires amethyst, sapphire or turquoise and the crown chakra uses amethyst and clear quarts. While these are traditional, some crystal healers use simply clear quarts in their practice.

Sometimes the person receiving the healing energies lies as the person versed in crystal healing places the stones on the various charkas. Other times, there is no formal session but the person seeking healing carries the crystal in their pocket or a specially made cloth bag pinned near the chakra. Those that carry the stone often seek emotional healing and carry the crystal closely associated with the body part known to create that emotion.

While there is some research into the area of crystal healing, most of the scientific community believes that the healing comes from the placebo effect. Information regarding the electromagnetic force of the body, however, could change that. Doctors use MRI machines to check people’s health every day. EKG’s and EEG’s record the body’s electrical charge. This is nothing more than their life force. Crystals are part of the civilized world’s economy. When you turn on your computer, crystals bring the communication of the world to your desktop. While no one knows whether crystals do the same for the body, it’s one possibility that many people believe and use as an alternate method of healing on a daily basis.

If we have bindings in our hair, do we break them on a daily basis? The answer to this peculiar question is yes, we do break them. We break them when we touch our hair, we break them when we take a shower and we break them when we roll around in our sleep.

Nonetheless, a few strokes later our hair is back to its original look. After taking a shower and drying our hair, our strands magically fall back into their original orientation. After a strong gust of wind, we simply have to shake our heads and the hair style re-forms itself easily. Why is this?

This is due to chemical bonds that exist in the hair. Nature had been so detailed in designing hair that it even gave us a means to style our hairs naturally without harmful chemicals. Just what are these chemical bonds that naturally bind?

The 3 Chemicals Bond in Hair

1. Hydrogen Bonds

Like most chemical bonds, the bindings on our hairs are actually invisible to the naked eye. The first kind of binding are the hydrogen bonds. Why do we need hydrogen for healthy hair? First, hydrogen provides the hair a means to be as flexible as it can. Without hydrogen, our hair would be as stiff as twigs. You know what this means: the hair will break easier.

2. Salt Bonds

The second type of binding are called the salt bonds. True to its name, salt bonds are dependent on specific pH environments. These bindings are the most easily disposed of. Since the hair is continually under ‘assault’ from different chemicals, salt bonds are progressively weakened on a daily basis. If you wish to maintain your salt bonds, simply purchase a chemical normalizing solution for your hair.

3. Disulfide Bonds

The third type of binding are called the disulfide bonds. What makes disulfide bonds special and more important than the other two bonds mentioned before? Disulfide bonds are the actually the reason why the hair is intrinsically resistant to stresses. This is also the reason why plain old water can’t break hair that easily.

How to Naturally Curl Hair?

Do you want to naturally curl your hair without making use of harmful chemical agents? There is a way! The first thing that you should do is to wet your hair thoroughly from the roots in the scalp area to the very tips. Do this because hair is far more flexible when wet than when it is dry. Dry hair has the tendency to break without softening agents.

After wetting your hair, get six or seven rollers. Rollers are the oldest means to curl your hair, and the older generation would recognize these especially those who liked hot curls in the past decades. Now, curl your hairs using the plastic rollers. Keep the rollers on for most of the day.

Since the hydrogen bonds have been temporarily dispelled during the wetting of the hair, the reformation of the bonds would take place around the plastic rollers.
