A significant number of people think that the 1988 film Rain Man is an excellent source of information regarding the issue of autism. But in fact, it isn’t. Instead, according to a BBC report in 2007, films like Rain Man may have installed a number of misconceptions about this brain development disorder. And these misconceptions-some positive, some neutral, most of them damaging-are turning autism into a social stigma. But those who are well versed in the issue of autism know that autism does not automatically spell social death. While it is true that, based on the restrictions the disorder can cause, a child’s life can possibly be different compared to those without the disorder due to autism, it is also possible to make the child’s life as normal as possible.

In the BBC report, a survey said that many people believe people with autism harbor special talents or skills, as if in compensation to the other skills lost. However, this isn’t true. Not every autistic child has particular enhanced skills, like the character from Rain Man (played by Dustin Hoffman) who has eidetic memory. There are also many reports of people with autism excelling in music or the arts due to their enhanced sense of hearing, for instance (it should be noted that most people with the disorder do have overly sensitive hearing). Experts say that these special skills and abilities are, in fact, extremely rare. Unfortunately, many people do not know this, so they expect people with autism to be some sort of savant in a particular field. This causes the social stigma experienced by people with autism to be more severe.

Another cause of this stigma: the expectation that all autistic people are the same. Of course, they aren’t-the disorder affects people in different ways, with varying intensity. Some people with autism have severe symptoms, while others exhibit very few signs. In fact, it is quite possible to be autistic and have the ability to socialize with other people; the effects of the disorder may be evident in other areas. Again, not many people know this. Many generalize autism when, in fact, it is a treacherous disorder with varied end results. For instance, many people, especially in the past, exhibit autistic traits-yet they managed to live their lives normally. While some of aspects of their lives are limited, they function normally in other respects, mainly because the intensity of autism varies.

Just consider the list of people with this disorder, many of which have accomplished great things. Christopher Knowles, for one, is an acclaimed poet (who is well known for his work with theater legend Philip Glass) who was diagnosed with autism. Dan Aykroyd, a well known actor, has a mild Asperger syndrome. Pulitzer Award-winning author Tim Page (well known for his music criticism) also has Asperger.

Basically, the activities of an autistic person naturally depend on what he is most inclined to do, or usually up to what extent he or she is affected by the disorder. There are instances when the disorder is too severe, rendering a person totally unable to do these things. Still, one way to let them do what they can is to prevail against social stigmas. There is nothing be ashamed of about autism. With the proper care and nurture, a child can live fruitful against the odds.

The skin is the body’s largest organ. It has several functions.

(1) Acts as a protective cover, shield, barrier between the body and the external environment (heat, cold, dryness, dampness, wind)

(2) Has pores, openings allowing the body to release excessive heat, energy (in the form of perspiration) and or retain heat, energy.

(3) Sebaceous glands located throughout the body in the dermis (layer of skin below epidermis, outer layer of skin) secrete sebum an oily liquid that moistens the skin and hair. It also helps the body retain heat. Acne (raised, red lesions, pustules, blackheads, etc.) is an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands affecting primarily the face and shoulders

The skin is made from food, nutrients. There are only two kinds of foods, nutrients: building and cleansing. Building nutrients, foods (protein, fat, meat, eggs, cheese, beans, etc.) build and fuel. Cleansing nutrients, foods (water, minerals, fruit, vegetables, grains, etc.) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.

Long-term low protein, low fat (milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, etc.) and high carbohydrate (bread, pasta, salads, tropical fruits, juices, smoothies, etc.) diets tend to cool, weaken and dilute digestion, reducing nutrient absorption, decreasing and thinning the blood (blood deficiency). Blood deficiency, in the extreme, tends to weaken, sag, thin, dry, crack and or bleed the skin producing partial facial flushing, red spots, splotches, acne, cracked skin, bleeding, pustules, eczema, exposed capillaries, blue veins and or translucent skin.

Too many building foods, protein and fat, especially animal (red meat, pork, chicken, eggs, cheese, fried foods, oil, etc.), in addition to alcohol, sugar tends to cause raised, red, hard painful, oily pimples, pus, boils and or dry flaky skin; warts, moles, psoriasis, tumors, etc. All excess sugar is turned into fat. Protein and fat build, thicken, fuel and heat. Too much tends to thicken, overbuild and overheat the blood, which in turn, overbuilds, overheats the skin.

The middle diet, meal plan adjusted accordingly is recommended. Try to eat simply and do not overeat. For deficiency, increase protein, fat (eggs, turkey, chicken, etc.), spices, cooked foods, (soups, vegetables), and a small amount of fruit (avoid tropical), for balance. For the overbuilt, eat less animal (red meat, pork, veal, chicken, etc.) and more beans, nuts, seeds, rice, vegetables, fruit (apples, pineapple, etc.). Space and or skip meals, especially dinner. Experience hunger and quench with water.

The beauty, health of the skin, starts in the inside via simple diet. From the outside, you can use good quality soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, etc. I highly recommend Aubrey Organics and Zia Cosmetics. Calendula oil is great for burns helps prevent scarring.

Eczema (cold, damp)

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition of the skin that produces blister like formations that weep, release fluid before forming a crust, scale and or flake. Itching may also occur. Poor diet is a major cause.

The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood, into structure (skin) into function, into health or disease. There are only two kinds of nutrients, foods: building and cleansing. Building nutrients (protein and fat) build and fuel. Cleansing nutrients (water, sugar, minerals, etc.) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten. The correct amount of building and cleansing builds and maintains healthy skin (thick, firm, strong, etc. The incorrect amounts, build too much or too little skin. Too little protein and fat tends to under build, thin and weaken the skin causing it to crack, bleed and or infect.

The symptoms of eczema indicate deficiency via breakdown (falling apart). Low protein and low fat diets, in the extreme, tend to thin and weaken all structure and function, including the skin. Too many carbohydrates (pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, etc.) tend to dilute and weaken digestion (acid, enzymes) reducing nutrient absorption (especially protein and fat), blood, which in turn, dilutes, weakens and thins everything else skin, hair, bones, memory, vision, etc.

Case history: In 1989, I developed a bad, hideous case of eczema. It first started as a pimple, blister on my index finger (left hand). Over the course of two months, it (blisters, cracked skin, bleeding, pus, etc.) spread to every finger up the back of hand to the arm. My other hand was affected eventually although not as bad. This happened while I was going to acupuncture school. It was gross. I tried every Chinese herbal remedy. Nothing worked. My skin kept getting worse and worse. I eventually turned to Ayurvedic Medicine (Ayurvedic Healing, and Yoga of Herbs by Dr. David Frawley, O.M.D.), which recommended the use of spices. My diet at the time was bland, low protein, low fat, sweet and cooling. I was living in Hollywood. Fl. I reduced juices, fruits, increased protein and fat and started cooking with spices (fennel, cumin, coriander, ginger, etc.). I always used at least five spices. Within three weeks, my eczema cleared up. My digestion also improved less bloating, gas, burping, farting, etc. I did have eczema as a teenager, although not as serious.  

Diet related eczema is simple but time consuming to cure as the skin takes time to rebuild via proper diet. The middle diet, daily meal plan, adjusted accordingly is recommended. Reduce salads, raw vegetables, tropical and citrus fruits, cold drinks, milk and yogurt

Other causes of eczema: low levels of hydrochloric acid, Candidiasis and or food allergies, all of which can all be caused by poor diet (low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate, in the extreme).

        Psoriasis (hot)

Psoriasis is a painful chronic skin disorder characterized by dry, red, scaly skin covering the scalp, genitalia, skin, etc. that alternates between exacerbation and remission. It is a disease of excess, caused in general by too much protein and fat, especially red meat, pork, hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, lasagna, oily, greasy foods (fries, chips, etc.) in addition to alcohol and sweets. Psoriasis generally occurs in conjunction with liver congestion, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, etc. The colder middle diet, meal plan is recommended.

All disease is defined by its collection of symptoms. All symptoms are defined, produced by biological functions. All biological functions are produced by biological structures (organs, bones, muscles, nerves, etc.), which in turn, are produced, maintained and cleansed by blood, nutrients.  The body, digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood into structure into function, into health or disease.

Arthritis is a generic term for inflammation of the joint that tends to cause pain, swelling, pain, redness, etc. A joint is where two or more bones join. The joint, space between the movable bones is composed of fluid sacs, in addition to cartilage (gelatinous substance that caps the end of the bones). Both act as shock absorbers.  Ligaments hold bones together.  Tendons attach muscles to ligaments. Muscles contract and expand according to their nerves, electrical supply, stimulation, which in turn pulls and relaxes the tendons, ligaments, moving the bones.

Blood, nutrients build, fuel and cleanse the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones. Poor nutrition, diet and or poor circulation tend to reduce, thin the blood, which in turn, thins, dries, weakens, pains and or inflames the joints. Poor posture, misalignment and or injury can also adversely affect the joints, i.e. cause arthritic symptoms.

There are three types of arthritis: rheumatoid (autoimmune), gout (uric acid) and osteo (bone on bone), Rheumatoid Arthritis is more common in women (middle aged), although it does attack men. The difference is cause. Women tend to suffer from blood, protein and fat deficiency via diet and menstruation.

Many women tend to eat anemic diets: low protein, low fat (milk, yogurt, soft cheeses, beans, nuts and seeds) and high carbohydrate (pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, etc.). Women menstruate monthly 30+ years from the first period, menarche (teen, preteen) to the last (menopause).  This combination tends to thin and weaken the blood, which in turn, thins, weakens, dries, inflames and pains everything else, especially the extremities: arms, legs, hands, feet, bones, muscles, tendons, etc

Men tend to suffer the opposite: too much, stagnant blood via high protein, high fat diets, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, congested liver, etc. restricting, reducing blood flow, which in turn, inflames, dries, thins and pains the joints: bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, etc. especially in the extremities: arms and legs.

All blood passes in and out the liver. The liver stores, cleanses (filters excess protein, fat, cholesterol, impurities, etc.) and releases the blood. High protein and high fat (especially animal) diets in excess tend to thicken the blood, which in turn, thickens, clogs and swells the liver reducing not only liver, cleansing function but also distribution, circulation of blood. Less cholesterol, fat is removed form the blood, more stays in the bloodstream, arteries, veins, heart, liver, brain, etc. Less blood is circulated as more (blood) passes into the liver (clogged, swollen) than out reducing the overall amount circulated to the rest of the body, especially to the extremities: head, arms and legs, which contain no vital organs.

The vital organs (heart, liver, lungs, etc.) located in the center of the body (abdomen and chest) command the blood. In times of drought, and or the common cold, less blood is circulated to the extremities (includes the head).

.

Inappropriate diet (overbuilt or under built) is a major cause of rheumatoid arthritis. It is also tends to cause gout, excess uric acid that accumulates in the blood and joints. Uric acid is a by-product of protein (especially animal) digestion. High protein, high fat diets, in the extreme, tend to cause too much uric acid in the blood and joints. Gout is more prevalent in western countries and or those eating high protein, high fat diets. It tends to attack men (high protein, high fat) more than women.

Osteoarthritis cannot be improved through diet or herbs. You cannot grow cartilage (separates and cushions the bones) where there is none. You can grow cartilage where there is some. Glucosamine sulfate ((1500 mg/ day) and other supplements (bovine cartilage) have been shown to grow cartilage. Solgar, Solaray, Enzymatic Therapy, Twin Lab and Natures Plus are high quality companies that research, manufacture and distribute. I owned and operated a small health food store, Food and Thought, Hollywood, Fl (1984-2001). I sold a lot of Glucosamine Sulfate and never heard a complaint, just praise. Check with your doctor before making any changes.

Dietary cures for arthritis via blood deficiency and or stagnation are relatively simple. Blood deficiency (via low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diets) requires the hotter middle diet, meal plan (more protein and fat: red meat, chicken, turkey, etc, cooked foods, soups, vegetables and spices. Spices (cardamom, cumin, coriander, fennel, ginger, cayenne, etc.) are hot in nature. They increase digestion, improve circulation, etc.

Weak digestion transforms and transports less food, nutrients into blood.  Too many cold and damp foods, drinks (milk, yogurt, salads, fruit, juices, cold drinks, etc.), in excess and or at the beginning of a meal, tend to dilute and weaken digestion (acid, enzymes, etc.) reducing nutrient absorption, blood, circulation, etc. while increasing waste product, abdominal bloating, gas, loose stools.

Blood stagnation (clogged arteries, veins, liver, etc.) is also curable, depending on severity.  It is a disease of excess: too much protein and fat. The colder middle diet, meal plan is recommended. Reduce animal protein and fat, no more than one animal food per day and never at night. A little chicken or turkey is permissible. Eat more vegetables (cabbage) fruit (apples), drink peppermint tea, etc. Avoid alcohol. Bitter herbs (golden seal, gentian, etc.) may also help. Eat less, skip, space the meals (gives the body extra time, energy to digest excess) and do not eat late. Avoid nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant) which tend to aggravate, worsen arthritic conditions.

Hot salves (containing spices, camphor, capsicum/ cayenne pepper, etc.) used externally for reducing pain are also effective. Heat not only dries and warms but also moves. Spices, cooked foods move and warm the blood, and reduce pain via increased circulation, blood. They also help to thin the blood. Cumin, coriander and fennel are mild spices.  

Medication, blood thinners can also cause arthritic symptoms. Blood thinners not only thin the blood of excess protein and fat (includes cholesterol), but also thin the bones, skin, hair, etc. which are all fed, thickened by the same blood, protein and fat. When you thin the blood, decrease protein and fat, you thin everything else.

How Does Sound Damage Hearing The human person has a knack for restoring many things, but unfortunately, hearing isn’t one of them. More often as opposed to not, hearing cannot be restored once damage is done, while it can be assisted with the use of devices overly can magnify the remaining capabilities to detect sound. Before you can understand how to avoid hearing loss, you should can identify how the ear runs in the mainly place, and how sound is processed in your own body. Noise is picked up by a very tiny and very important part of the inner ear, known as the cochlea. The cochelar nerve passes the vibration, which is detected by thousands of tiny hairs inside the cochlea, onto the brain, where the sound is processed and officially “heard.” Once these hairs have been killed or damaged, the level of hearing you experienced beforehand cannot be restored. This is why after exposure to loud noises, including music at concerts or even a jackhammer at work, your ears might seem to be ringing. Scar tissue can form if the ears are repeatedly exposed to loud sounds, and that makes it even more difficult for the cochlear nerve to do its job. How Does Sound Damage Hearing Clearly, one of the best ways to avoid hearing loss is to avoid loud noises, but loud noises are sometimes inevitable. The first and most important rule of thumb is that a noise does not have to physically hurt your ears or cause you discomfort to be doing damage to your long-term hearing. Something as simple as a loud jackhammer or lawnmower, or even a television turned up way too high, can be doing damage over time. Likewise, if you are frequenting loud concerts or going to night clubs all of the time, it is important to wear some sort of ear protection, even if the idea of wearing ear plugs feels a little nerdy. After all, most people would rather wear some sort of earplugs for a couple of nights a week than need to wear a hearing aid for the rest of their life. Suffering from Tinnitus and Ringing in Ear?

Tinnitus Headphones In our highly mobile society, more and !no! people are listening to music through headphones on a daily basis. Whether it’s the commute to work on the subway or the bus or just going for a jog, the grow in portable music players means that now it is straightforward as opposed to ever to shoot your favorite music in you wherever you go. However, a lot of these new music devices come with a free pair of the wrong kind of headphones: ear buds. Ear buds actually sit in the ear’s canal, instead of on the surface of the ear, and the sort of sound that they deliver is more likely to cause hearing damage over time because it is piping the sound more directly, without any sort of cushion. Also important to consider is the fact that, because ear buds have no noise canceling quality to them, most people who are listening to their MP3 players with them have them turned up to a level that is already doing damage for hearing. First and foremost, hearing problems can be minimized by, regardless of which type of headphones are being worn, always taking steps to ensure that they aren’t turned up to their maximum volume level. Some sets of headphones include their own volume control setting, so if you keep that at a mid-level and don’t turn up your music player past that, you’re doing a great deal of good for your hearing. After all, it’s not just loud concert-level noise that can cause trouble with your hearing. Something as simple as repeated exposure to music cranked up too loud through headphones can do damage, too, especially if it is a consistent part of your life. Tinnitus Headphones Another thing to consider if tying to prevent hearing loss is investment in a better pair of headphones that will not require so much juice in terms of volume. A number of different companies, from high-end leaders in sound to hip and cutting-edge DJ outfitters, sell types of noise-cancelling headphones. There are numerous advantages to noise-cancelling headphones. The biggest is that instead of just upping the volume, these types of headphones have a built-in microphone that reads the ambient noise level of wherever you’re listening and actually helps to cancel it out. Noise-cancelling headphones also are never designed as ear buds, meaning that you will be receiving sound where your ear can handle it, not inside of it. Suffering from Tinnitus and Ringing in Ear?

Hearing Loss Ringing In EarIf you’re hearing a constant ringing noise, then you likely suffer ear ringing tinnitus. Tinnitus, pronounced “tin-eye-tus” is usually not temporary. Most customers at some rank in the lives will be able to hear ringing noises, and when that happens properties will disappear. This would not be tinnitus. Whistling, roaring, ringing and whooshing noises are the multiple common complaint for tinnitus, and Other type of hearing lowering often accompanies these noises. Who gets tinnitus? Tinnitus is most common in men aged 40 and above. It’s estimated that up to 51 million Americans hear ringing noises on a permanent basis, with about one-third of those 65 and above complaining of constant tinnitus. A significant number of those suffering from tinnitus, up to 3 percent, find that the noises they hear are debilitating and negatively affect the quality of their lives. Those with significant hearing damage often have tinnitus – even those younger than 40. Loud noises are usually to blame for the loss of hearing and the resultant tinnitus. Other hearing damage that can cause tinnitus includes physical damage, disease and drug abuse. How You Can Stop Ear Ringing Tinnitus For Good Sometimes, the tinnitus results from a medically treatable condition such as an ear infection or chronic sinus problems. Tumors of the head, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis can cause ringing. Most of these conditions are treatable, and the noises disappear once the root cause has been dealt with. On the other hand, those with no identifiable causes of tinnitus usually cannot find an outright cure for their ear ringing. Usually, age and loud noises that damage sensitive parts of the ear (the cochlea) are to blame for the noises. This is called subjective tinnitus. Hearing Loss Ringing In Ear Serious Problem – or a Nuisance? Tinnitus is not a disease, it’s merely the result of another problem. Unless you have Meniere’s Disease and balance and other important mobility functions have been affected, then the ringing is really a nuisance or inconvenience.
