What You Should Know About Dogs That Bite!

By Abigail Franks

Some dogs are prone to bite. At least, that’s what many in the media would have your believe. The top 3 breeds that seem to not only get bad publicity but also are involved in biting are the Pit Bull Terriers, Rottweilers and German Shepherd Dogs.

Now on the surface, this may seem to many to suggest that these three dog breeds are dangerous. At least, this is what the media would like you to believe. While there’s no denying that these breeds have been known to bite, the sensationalism and hype by the media has sometimes generated almost hysteria like fervor in the general public against these breeds.

While the media prefers to focus on the fact that a dog has bitten someone, they neglect to develop other important aspects of a dog biting story. For example:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document that a chained dog is 2.8 times more likely to bite than an unchained dog.

Or how about this:

25% of all fatal attacks were inflicted by chained dogs

At issue here is the knee-jerk cry from the politicians and some of the public that these dogs are well secured in their own yard. As you can see by the two facts above, this demand actually can INCREASE the risk of a dog bite.

The problem here is that politicians need to be viewed as “doing something” especially on those issues where the media has whipped up public hysteria. This isn’t to say that a dog bite shouldn’t be taken seriously. But doing something and doing the right thing are often times two different things.

At issue here is not a specific dog breed the owner who has neglected to properly or adequately socialize the animal. Lack of socialization can make a dog, fearful of new situations and exhibit aggressive behavior. Dogs that aren’t socialized with children, will often see them as a threat. This helps explain why 79% of all dog bite related fatalities are children under the age of 12. Use the link below to get a free report on how to effectively crate train your pet

The Rottweiler and German Shepherd are large dogs that are used in many working situations. There’s a reason why the majority of police officer K-9 units use German shepherds. This fact alone should indicate that biting is not a breed specific problem. You would also feel extraordinarily secure in the presence of a Rottweiler trained to the schutzhund 3 level of protection training.

Let’s not condemn a breed of dog for the lack of proper training and etiquette They received from their owners. While the media may continue their hype, and politicians overreact, let’s remember that many of our large dog breeds are a benefit to their owners and society.

Systemic Yeast Infection

By Brian McQuirk

Systemic yeast infections or candida may well be the unknown epidemic of the day and are most often caused by the use of antibiotics. Systemic yeast infections (fungus) are extremely difficult to detect and kill. New information about the underlying cause of yeast infection — a relatively new branch of medical science — is discovering that chronic intestinal and systemic yeast infections are at the root of a host of medical problems including chronic fatigue, allergies, chronic infections, and many, many others. And, as you might expect, these intestinal and systemic yeast infections are also the source of other recurrent and chronic yeast infection conditions such as dandruff and vaginal yeast infection.

It is speculated that 80%-90% of the population is affected by a candida or a systemic yeast infection (men, women and children). If you are very disciplined you may have even tried the infamous candida diet, which attempts to “starve” the candida by depriving it of the foods that are easily converted to the sugar that feeds systemic yeast infections (Low Carb or the GI). Many diseases are often misdiagnosed in humans when the actual underlying cause is Candida Albicans (a systemic yeast infection). Some of the diseases a systemic yeast infection can cause are:arthritis, gout, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, high cholesterol, crohns disease,irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, allergies, acid reflux, arteriosclerosis, psoriasis, eczema, roscea, hives, acne, dandruff, depression. Most of these diseases are of an “unknown” cause.

If your doctor thinks you have a systemic yeast infection, a blood, stool or tissue sample will be tested for the fungus. If your doctor determines that you have a systemic yeast infection, you may get intravenous doses of amphotericin or flucytosine. To combat systemic yeast infection one may use enzymes, which work specifically to help the body return to balance and helps in combating Candida yeast, as well as cleaning out toxins from the body, re-establishing good bacteria and pushing out the yeast and also enables the person to eat better foods. They play a crucial role in combating systemic yeast infection by flushing out the dying Candida yeast toxins out of the body and free radicals at the level of cells. Similar to other types of yeast infections, systemic yeast infection usually occur secondary to anything that weakens the body’s natural barrier against colonizing organisms. The diseases and problems of systemic yeast infections can be quite varied as well as life threatening.

Treatment

Consult your practitioner before beginning or making changes to your diet, supplements, exercise program, diagnosis or treatment of illness or injuries and for advice regarding medications. Systemic yeast infections are unaffected by antibiotics and are able to thrive and take over the body and, as the yeast gets into new territories, it entrenches itself and will continue doing so and makes further advances until some treatment is taken to control and eliminate it.

Fortunately, there is an effective oral treatment option for the treatment of yeast infections. Treat your yeast infection with a single oral dose of Diflucan, the most effective yeast infection treatment. In a recent survey of some 179 women who have used both Diflucan and vaginally inserted creams, 9 out of ten women preferred Diflucan for the treatment of yeast infections. Unlike previous treatment options were messy inserted creams had to be applied, Diflucan offers a one time pill that is just as effective as the seven day application of a cream.

Food Intolerance Testing Offers New Hope To Allergy Sufferers

By Elizabeth Harfleet

For many, the onset of spring fills them with suffering rather than joy as a result of hay fever and other seasonal allergies. Symptoms of these allergies include sore itchy eyes and bouts of sneezing creating a personal nightmare for victims every year.

Many people rely on anti-histamines to relieve symptoms. However, according to a number of leading nutritional therapists in the UK, food intolerance testing rather than anti-histamines might offer the best treatment.

Could Food Intolerance Testing Relieve Seasonal Allergies

From late April onwards, sales of anti-histamines designed to relieve hay fever symptoms start to increase. These anti-histamines are available over the counter in spray or tablet format. They are intended to switch off the immune system’s response to the high pollen count thereby relieving symptoms.

However, there might be an alternative to taking these sorts of drugs. According to a number of leading UK nutritional therapists, food intolerance testing can help to relieve the suffering caused by seasonal allergies. Moreover, it could prove more effective than over the counter medication.

How Food Intolerance Testing Can Help to Alleviate the Effects of Seasonal Allergies

Taking anti-histamines does not prevent the problem of seasonal allergies. However, by carrying out food intolerance testing, individuals can identify foods that weaken their immune system and that make their bodies stronger. As a result, food intolerance testing can help people to fight the effects of seasonal allergies naturally.

How Food Intolerance Testing Works

Food intolerance tests can be bought online from a number of nutritional therapist websites in the UK. The key when looking to buy a food intolerance test is to choose one that has been clinically proven.

Food intolerance tests can be carried out in the comfort of your own home. You simply, prick your finger to collect a drop of blood which you absorb in the wand provided. You then send this wand to the designated laboratory for analysis.

Food intolerance testing is easy and affordable. Therefore, if you are a sufferer, it may be the perfect natural solution to your seasonal allergy nightmare.
