How to remove water from ears

It can be annoying and sometimes painful to get water in your ears, and if left there, it can cause infections. Follow the steps given below to get rid of it.

Steps

1. Make sure water has entered your ears and is staying there. This can easily be checked by slightly tapping your temple with your wrist. You will feel very uneasy if water is stagnant in your ears.
   
2. Take a dropper and use it to put Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol (I use 70%) in your water cloogged ear then in about 3 seconds turn your head the other way. (If you don't have a droper skip this step).
   
3. Take a few more drops of water, in your hand or in a dropper.
   
4. Lie down/hold your head, with the affected ear on the top.
   
5. Drop the few drops of water into the affected ear.
   
6. You will feel the water getting into the ear drums. After a few seconds (3 to 4 seconds), turn around very fast, so that the affected ear now faces the ground. You should be able to feel the water coming out of the ears, and the ear should feel very warm.
   
7. If water is not fully removed, try the procedure again.
   
8. If that doesn't work, try this: stand on one foot, tilting your head so the offending ear faces the ground.
   
9. Hop on one foot until the water comes out.
   
10. You might also try using a hair dryer on the low setting. Use warm air.
    
11. Try sleeping with the affected ear facing downwards. After a while gravity might push the water out.
    
12. You can also try jumping on your bed with the affected ear facing downwards, make sure that your whole body is completely sideways and you get high enough. This will force the water out of your ear.
    
13. If none of these techniques work, consult a doctor.
    
14. The flush. This method involves removing all water from your ear by adding more. Firstly, pour a small amount of water into your ear while holding your head to one side.(Be sure that it is the OPPOSITE side from where the water is)Then quickly, tip your head to one side and the water should come out, if it doesn't try method #2.
    
15. The plunger. This method is a surefire way to work. The idea is that you get your finger, place it in your ear and make a vacuum with your finger by pushing and pulling rapidly, in a moment the water should come out of your ear very quickly. This is usually an effective method, but if it fails, see the next step.
    
16. The sleeper. This method is very simple and effective for the "water-trapped-in-the-back-of-my-ear-syndrome" All you do, is that when you go to sleep, turn on the side where the water is trapped and go to sleep, gravity will take care of the rest by draining your ear.(This will leave a puddle of gooey wax on your pillow/park bench/cardboard box so place a bath towel on your pillow/park bench/cardboard box to prevent wax stains).
    
17. The gnaw and tilt. Pretend you are gnawing on some food. Tilt your head to the side that doesn't have water in it and then sling your head as quickly as you can to the side that has water in it.
    
18. Make a lot of water go on your ear. That will make your ear feel better and might get rid of the water with the force.
    

Tips

• You can find a product at many drug stores which is 95% alcohol designed to get water out of your ears. It's used the same way, but is more effective than just using water (This costs more then alcohol and does the same thing).
  
• When using the plunger method, be sure to have the affected ear facing the ground
  

Warnings

• Do not try to poke deep in your ears, especially with cotton buds or q-tips.
  
• Don't lose your balance when hopping. (steady yourself)
  
• When using the gnaw and tilt do it as quickly as you can but don't snap your neck by accident.
  
• See a trusted doctor if none of these tips work out.
  
• These methods will most likely leave you with a mixture of warm ear wax and water coming out of your ear/s. Take caution not to get any of this on any easily-stainable fabrics!
  
• Make sure you don't get rubbing alcohol on your skin it may sting.
  
• Do not ingest anything go to the doctors immediately if this should happen.

Snoring

Loud and frequent snoring can be more than just a nuisance to your partner. Snoring may indicate a serious health condition, and it can disrupt your household.

Snoring is common. Almost half of adults snore at least occasionally. Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe, creating hoarse or harsh sofestyle changes, such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol close to bedtime or sleeping on your side, can help stop snoring.

In addition, surgery is available that may reduce disruptive snoring. However, surgery isn't suitable or necessary for everyone who snores.



Causes

As you doze off and progress from a lighter sleep to a deep sleep, the muscles in the roof of your mouth (soft palate), tongue and throat relax. The tissues in your throat can relax enough that they vibrate and may partially obstruct your airway.

The more narrowed your airway, the more forceful the airflow becomes. Tissue vibration increases, and your snoring grows louder. Snoring may be an occasional problem, or it may be habitual.

What contributes to snoring
A variety of factors can lead to snoring, including:

Your mouth anatomy. Having a low, thick soft palate or enlarged tonsils or tissues in the back of your throat (adenoids) can narrow your airway. Likewise, if the triangular piece of tissue hanging from the soft palate (uvula) is elongated, airflow can be obstructed and vibration increased. Being overweight contributes to narrowing of your airway.

Alcohol consumption. Snoring can also be brought on by consuming too much alcohol before bedtime. Alcohol relaxes throat muscles and decreases your natural defenses against airway obstruction.

Nasal problems. Chronic nasal congestion or a crooked partition between your nostrils (deviated nasal septum) may be to blame.

Sleep apnea. Snoring may also be associated with obstructive sleep apnea. In this serious condition, your throat tissues obstruct your airway, preventing you from breathing. Sleep apnea is often characterized by loud snoring followed by periods of silence that can last 10 seconds or more. Sometimes, complete obstruction does not occur, but rather, while still snoring, the airway becomes so small that the airflow is inadequate for your needs. Eventually, the lack of oxygen and an increase in carbon dioxide signal you to wake up, forcing your airway open with a loud snort or gasping sound. This pattern may be repeated many times during the night.

When to seek medical advice
You may not be aware that you snore, but your bed partner likely is. Seeing your doctor about your snoring can help both you and your partner. For you, snoring may indicate another health concern, such as obstructive sleep apnea, nasal obstruction or obesity. For your partner, your seeking medical advice about your snoring may result in being able to get a restful sleep.

If your child snores, ask your pediatrician about it. Children, too, can have obstructive sleep apnea, though most don't. Nose and throat problems, such as enlarged tonsils, and obesity often underlie habitual snoring in children. Treating these conditions could help your child sleep better.

Screening and diagnosis
Your doctor likely will perform a physical examination and take a medical history. Your partner may need to answer some questions about when and how you snore to help your doctor assess the severity of the problem. Parents are asked about the severity of a child's snoring.

Your doctor may then refer you to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor (otolaryngologist) or sleep specialist for additional studies and evaluation. This may require that you stay overnight at a sleep center to undergo an in-depth analysis of your sleep habits by a team of specialists

Complications
Habitual snoring may be more than just a nuisance and a cause of daytime sleepiness. Untreated, persistent snoring caused by obstructive sleep apnea may raise your lifetime risk of developing such health problems as high blood pressure, heart failure and stroke. In children, obstructive sleep apnea may increase the risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Treatment



Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
Your doctor will likely first recommend lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol close to bedtime and changing sleeping positions. If lifestyle changes don't eliminate snoring, your doctor may suggest:

Oral appliances. Oral appliances are form-fitting dental mouthpieces that help advance the position of your tongue and soft palate to keep your air passage open. If you choose to use an oral appliance, visit your dental specialist at least once every six months during the first year, and then at least annually after that, to have the fit checked and to make sure that your condition isn't worsening.

Traditional surgery. In a procedure called uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), you're given general anesthesia and your surgeon tightens and trims excess tissues — a type of face-lift for your throat.

Laser surgery. In an outpatient surgery for snoring called laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP), your doctor uses a small hand-held laser beam to shorten the soft palate and remove your uvula. Removing excess tissue enlarges your airway and reduces vibration. You may need more than one session to get your snoring under control. Laser surgery isn't advised for occasional or light snoring, but it's an option if your snoring is loud and disruptive. Laser surgery generally isn't recommended for sleep apnea.

Radiofrequency tissue ablation (somnoplasty). In this type of surgery, doctors use a low-intensity radiofrequency signal to remove part of the soft palate to reduce snoring. It's an outpatient procedure performed using local anesthesia. The technique causes slight scarring of the soft palate, which may help to reduce snoring. The effectiveness of this newer procedure needs further study.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This approach involves wearing a pressurized mask over your nose while you sleep. The mask is attached to a small pump that forces air through your airway, which keeps it open. CPAP (SEE-pap) eliminates snoring and prevents sleep apnea. Although CPAP is the preferred method of treating obstructive sleep apnea, some people find it uncomfortable

Self-care

To prevent or quiet snoring, try these tips:

If you're overweight, lose weight. Being overweight is a common cause of snoring. Loose throat tissues are more likely to vibrate as you breathe, and extra bulkiness in the throat narrows your airway.
Sleep on your side. Lying on your back allows your tongue to fall backward into your throat, narrowing your airway and partially obstructing airflow. To prevent sleeping on your back, try sewing a tennis ball in the back of your pajama top.
Nasal strips. Adhesive strips applied to your nose help many people increase the area of their nasal passage, enhancing their breathing.

Treat nasal congestion or obstruction. Having allergies or a deviated septum can limit airflow through your nose. This forces you to breathe through your mouth, increasing the likelihood of snoring. Don't use an oral or spray decongestant for more than three days in a row for acute congestion unless directed to do so by your doctor. Ask your doctor about a prescription steroid spray if you have chronic congestion. To correct a deviated septum, you may need surgery.

Limit or avoid alcohol and sedatives. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages at least four hours before bedtime, and let your doctor know about your snoring before taking sedatives or hypnotics. Sedatives and hypnotics (sleeping pills) and alcohol depress your central nervous system, causing excessive relaxation of muscles, including the tissues in your throat. In addition, if you stop breathing due to obstructive sleep apnea, it may take longer for you to begin breathing again because alcohol, sedatives and hypnotics blunt the brain's ability to arouse from sleep.

Complementary and alternative medicine
Didgeridoo. Playing the didgeridoo, a musical instrument that produces a droning sound, may help train muscles of the upper airway. A February 2006 British Medical Journal study evaluated use of the instrument by those with sleep apnea who complained about snoring. The research showed that those who played the instrument for about 25 minutes a day most days of the week experienced less daytime sleepiness — a complication of sleep apnea and snoring . However, this research is preliminary and needs more study.

Hypnosis. Some have suggested that hypnosis may help improve snoring. For example, a hypnotherapist can suggest to you under hypnosis that you turn on your side if you begin snoring.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). MSM is marketed in a nose drop formula to treat snoring, but there's no evidence it has any effect on snoring.

Singing. Singing can help improve muscle control of the soft palate and upper throat. One preliminary study found some decrease in snoring in participants who sang prescribed singing exercises for 20 minutes a day for three months. These participants all began snoring as adults, had no nasal problems and were not overweight. More study of this technique is needed.

Fast food: 6 ways to healthier meals

These six tips can help you make wise meal choices when going to a fast-food restaurant.
Can fast food be part of a weight-loss or healthy diet plan? You might not think so. In fact, you might even think that you can't have a meal that's both quick and healthy.

But this isn't necessarily so. An occasional stop at a fast-food restaurant can fit into a healthy diet plan. The key is to choose wisely.

Keep portion sizes small.
If the fast-food restaurant offers several sandwich sizes, pick the smallest or order half a sandwich, if available. Bypass hamburgers with two or three beef patties, which can pack more than 1,000 calories and 70 grams of fat. Instead, choose a regular- or children's-sized hamburger, which has about 250 to 300 calories. Also, skip the large serving of french fries or onion rings and ask for a small serving instead. This switch alone saves 200 to 300 calories. Or better yet, select a lower calorie option.

Choose a healthier side dish.
Take advantage of healthy side dishes offered at many fast-food restaurants. For example, instead of french fries choose a side salad with low-fat dressing or a baked potato. Or add a fruit bowl or a fruit and yogurt option to your meal. Other healthy choices include apple or orange slices, corn on the cob, steamed rice, or baked potato chips.

Go for the greens.
Choose a large entree salad with grilled chicken, shrimp or garden vegetables with fat-free or low-fat dressing on the side, rather than regular salad dressing, which can have 100 to 200 calories per packet. Watch out for high-calorie salads, such as those with deep-fried shells or those topped with breaded chicken or other fried toppings. Also skip salad extras, such as cheese, bacon bits, croutons and fried chips, which quickly increase your calorie count.

Opt for grilled items. Fried and breaded foods, such as crispy chicken sandwiches and breaded fish fillets, are high in fat and calories. Select grilled or roasted lean meats — such as turkey or chicken breast, lean ham, or lean roast beef.

Have it your way.
Don't settle for what comes with your sandwich or meal. Ask for healthier options and substitutions. For example, ask for reduced-fat mayonnaise or mustard on your sandwich. Or at a fast-food Mexican restaurant, request salsa with your meal instead of shredded cheese and nacho cheese sauce. Try to avoid special dressings, tartar sauce, sour cream and other high-calorie condiments
.
Watch what you drink.
Many beverages contain a large number of calories. For example, a large regular soda (32 ounces) has about 300 calories. Instead, order diet soda, water, unsweetened iced tea, sparkling water or mineral water. Also, skip the shakes and other ice-cream drinks. Large shakes can contain more than 800 calories and all of your saturated fat allotment for the day.
You can eat healthy away from home, even at fast-food restaurants. The bottom line: Be choosy. Make wise menu choices and focus on portion control.

Arthritis pain: Do's and don'ts

Will physical activity help or hinder your arthritis pain?
Will physical activity make your arthritis pain worse?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you already have joint damage, you can make your arthritis pain worse with activities that are stressful to your joints or that require repetitive motion.

However, if you have only minimal joint damage and most of your symptoms are related to the ligaments, tendons and muscles surrounding your joints — not the joints themselves — a gentle exercise program could improve your arthritis pain. Be sure to include stretching and muscle strengthening in your exercise program.

Work with your doctor to determine the right solution and exercise program for your specific situation. Arthritis varies a great deal from one person to another. Ask your doctor to carefully define the type and extent of your arthritis. Use that information to decide the best approach to your hobbies and activities.

What sorts of activities should generally be avoided,
and what types of activities are good for most people with arthritis pain?

Activities that put sudden pressure or stress on involved joints — such as running and playing tennis — are likely to make the symptoms of arthritis in the lower extremities worse and may cause increased swelling and inflammation. Activities that are likely to help include exercises that strengthen your muscles, protect your joints, and reduce stress and joint damage. For example, strengthening the muscles on the front and back of your thigh (quadriceps and hamstrings) helps protect your knee and hip joints. Your doctor might be able to teach you some exercises to increase your muscle strength without abusing your joints.

Do what you can to stay physically active while taking into consideration the condition of your joints. For example, you may be able to walk a mile or more at a comfortable pace with well-fitting, cushioned shoes. But you probably have to give up on high-impact activities — for instance sports such as soccer that involve running — which put a lot of stress on many different joints. If your joints are too painful or damaged to allow an activity such as walking, then swimming or other water exercise may be a better choice for keeping you active and getting toned.

How can you reduce the stiffness and pain that come from sitting for a long time?
Many people with arthritis experience stiffness after sitting or resting, especially if they've used their joints actively before periods of inactivity. Most people with rheumatoid arthritis have stiffness after rest, such as in the morning. These are common symptoms of arthritis. Movement will tend to diminish some of the symptoms.

If you must sit for a long time, adjust your position often to prevent or lessen stiffness. For example, turn your head at different angles, shift the position of your arms, and bend and stretch out your legs. Such slight movements may help prevent excessive stiffness. Many times the stiffness may be worse for a few days after you've used your joint strenuously.

When does arthritis pain indicate you should call your doctor?
If new pain develops or you have persistent symptoms — lasting more than several days — visit your doctor. Treatment is often more effective when arthritis symptoms are caught early. If you have symptoms that you know are from overdoing it and they disappear in a few days, you probably don't need to visit your doctor.

What medications are best for arthritis pain relief?
The good news is that there are now many medications available for arthritis. Most are relatively safe and well tolerated, but no medication is completely free of possible side effects. If your symptoms are a regular problem, you need professional advice from your doctor about what medications to take and how much.

If your pain is present only occasionally and follows some unusual activity, you could try one or two acetaminophen tablets (Tylenol, others), which are sold over-the-counter. Many such preparations are available. Ordinarily, all work equally well. Some people prefer aspirin instead. If you have a history of peptic ulcer disease, bleeding, asthma or allergies, talk to your doctor before taking aspirin or a drug such as ibuprofen.

If your symptoms are prolonged and are related to activities that you don't participate in all of the time, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) — such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others) — may bring relief. These drugs can be purchased without a prescription. Weekend tennis players, gardeners and others with mild osteoarthritis can overcome some of the disagreeable stiffness by taking only one or two over-the-counter NSAID tablets for one or two days after the activity, or even before the activity.

If your symptoms are more prolonged and severe, it may mean that the joint involvement is more advanced, and you may need larger doses of drugs on a regular basis. Until recently we prescribed COX-2 inhibitors for people who had stomach pain or other side effects from other NSAIDs. However, recent data suggest that COX-2 drugs may cause heart problems in some people. Consult your doctor if you aren't getting sufficient pain relief from your medications.

Are alternative treatments helpful for arthritis pain?
This question raises complex issues, and there's no short and easy answer that applies to all alternative arthritis treatments. Even the definition of alternative treatments varies from one source to another. For example, heat, massage and stretching — which help relieve arthritis symptoms for many people — have been listed as alternative treatment by some, but in reality these have been standard practice for many years.

The best treatments of this type are straightforward and have your doctor's or physical therapist's stamp of approval. Some activities may be more interesting and fun to do, such as tai chi. A good rule of thumb: If it keeps you active, then it's helpful.

The problem with many alternative preparations is that they haven't been adequately studied. In most people, arthritis symptoms vary from day to day. So if you take an herbal preparation, for example, on a day that you might have felt better anyway, you may become convinced that the herb made you better. In arthritis treatment studies, as many as 30 percent of people taking an inactive substance (placebo) improve, at least temporarily.

Finally, quality standards for over-the-counter alternative drugs don't exist. Research shows that there's a great variation in the amount of active substance in different brands and even different lots of the same brand. This alone may be reason to avoid them.

Finding an effective and safe medication for arthritis pain is a complex task that may take years. Trying to shortcut standard practices may lead to harmful effects and wasted money, time and effort.

Acupuncture: Can it help?

Acupuncture involves inserting hair-thin needles into your skin to relieve pain. Find out how acupuncture works and what conditions it can treat.
************************************************************************************
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through your skin, to various depths at strategic points on your body. Acupuncture originated in China thousands of years ago, but over the past two decades its popularity has grown significantly within the United States. Although scientists don't fully understand how or why acupuncture works, some studies indicate that it may provide a number of medical benefits — from reducing pain to helping with chemotherapy-induced nausea.

What happens during an acupuncture session?
Acupuncture therapy usually involves a series of weekly or biweekly treatments in an outpatient setting. It's common to have up to 12 treatments in total. Although each acupuncture practitioner has his or her own unique style, each visit typically includes an exam and an assessment of your current condition, the insertion of needles, and a discussion about self-care tips. An acupuncture visit generally lasts about 30 minutes.

Before the needles are placed, you'll lie down on a comfortable surface. Depending on where the needles are to go, you will lie facedown, faceup or on your side. Make sure that your acupuncturist uses single-use sterile packaged needles. You may feel a brief, sharp sensation when the needle is inserted, but generally the procedure isn't painful.

It's common, however, to feel a deep aching sensation when the needle reaches the correct depth. After placement, the needles are sometimes moved gently or stimulated with electricity or heat. As many as a dozen needles may need to be placed for each treatment. Once the needles are inserted, they're usually left in place for five to 20 minutes.

How does acupuncture work?
The traditional Chinese theory behind acupuncture as medical treatment is very different from that of Western medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, health results form a harmonious balance between the complementary extremes (yin and yang) of the life force known as qi or chi.

Qi is believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. These meridians and the energy flow are accessible through more than 350 acupuncture points. Illness results from an imbalance of the forces. By inserting needles into these points in various combinations, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will rebalance.

In contrast, the Western explanation of acupuncture incorporates modern concepts of neuroscience. Many practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. This stimulation appears to boost the activity of your body's natural painkillers and increase blood flow.

Who is acupuncture for?
Acupuncture seems to be useful as a stand-alone treatment for some conditions, but it's also increasingly being used in conjunction with more conventional Western medical treatments. For example, doctors may combine acupuncture and drugs to control pain and nausea after surgery.

Scientific studies generally test treatments against placebos, such as sugar pills. It's difficult to conduct valid scientific studies of acupuncture, because it's difficult to devise sham versions of acupuncture. In fact, several studies have indicated that sham acupuncture works as well or almost as well as real acupuncture.

This makes it hard to create a definitive list of the conditions for which acupuncture might be helpful. However, preliminary studies indicate that acupuncture may offer symptomatic relief for a variety of diseases and conditions, including low back pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, migraines and osteoarthritis.

In addition, research shows acupuncture can help manage postoperative dental pain and alleviate chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. It also appears to offer relief for chronic menstrual cramps and tennis elbow.

Pros and cons
As with most medical therapies, acupuncture has both benefits and risks. Consider the benefits:

Acupuncture is safe when performed properly.
It has few side effects.
It can be useful as a complement to other treatment methods.
It's becoming more available in conventional medical settings.
It helps control certain types of pain.
It may be an alternative if you don't respond to or don't want to take pain medications.
Acupuncture may not be safe if you have a bleeding disorder or if you're taking blood thinners. The most common side effects of acupuncture are soreness, bleeding or bruising at the needle sites. Rarely, a needle may break or an internal organ might be injured. If needles are reused, infectious diseases may be accidentally transmitted. However, these risks are low in the hands of a competent, certified acupuncture practitioner.


Choosing an acupuncture practitioner
If you're considering acupuncture, do the same things you would do if you were choosing a doctor:

Ask people you trust for recommendations.
Check the practitioner's training and credentials. Most states require that non-physician acupuncturists pass an exam conducted by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Interview the practitioner. Ask what's involved in the treatment, how likely it is to help your condition and how much it will cost.
Find out whether the expense is covered by your insurance.
Don't be afraid to tell your doctor you're considering acupuncture. He or she may be able to tell you about the success rate of using acupuncture for your condition or recommend an acupuncture practitioner for you to try.

Bad breath: Could a tongue scraper help?

Answer
Tongue scrapers, which are available in most pharmacies in various shapes and sizes, have been touted as a way to reduce or eliminate bad breath. You simply put the tongue scraper at the back of your tongue and bring it forward along your tongue, repeating as often as needed. Research on the effectiveness of tongue scrapers is limited. What's been published thus far describes tongue scraping as only slightly more effective for bad breath than simply brushing the tongue with a toothbrush. And even then, the effect doesn't last long. Although there's no harm in trying a tongue scraper to treat bad breath, it's probably more effective to practice good dental hygiene overall. Brush your teeth and tongue after you eat, and floss your teeth at least once a day. It may help to drink plenty of water, too. If bad breath persists, consult your dentist.

Hand exercises for arthritis pain relief

Bend your fingers
The following hand exercises show moves that can provide arthritis pain relief. You can do these hand exercises daily or, preferably, several times a day. You might find it helps to do hand exercises while soaking your hands in warm water. Know your limitations, though. Hand exercises shouldn't cause pain.

Start your hand exercises by relaxing your hand. Start with your fingers straight and close together. Bend the end and middle joints of your fingers. Keep your wrist and knuckles straight. Moving slowly and smoothly, return your hand to the starting position. Repeat with your other hand. If you can, perform multiple repetitions of this exercise on each hand.

Make a fist
Start with your fingers straight and spread apart. Make a loose, gentle fist and wrap your thumb around the outside of your fingers. Be careful not to squeeze your fingers together too tightly. Moving slowly and smoothly, return to the starting position. Repeat. Perform this exercise with both hands



Open your hand wide
Spread your fingers apart as wide as you can and hold that position. Slowly relax your fingers and bring them together. Return to the open-wide position. Repeat with each hand and gradually increase the number of repetitions



Touch your fingertips
Straighten your fingers and thumb. Bend your thumb across your palm, touching the tip of your thumb to the pad of your hand just below your pinky finger. If you can't make your thumb touch, just stretch as far as you can. Return your thumb to its starting position, as shown in image 3.

For the next exercise, form the letter O by touching your thumb to each fingertip, as shown in images 4 through 6. Moving slowly and smoothly, touch your index finger to your thumb, then straighten your fingers. Touch your middle finger to your thumb and straighten. Follow with your ring and pinky fingers. Repeat both exercises with your other hand.

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY
by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan

It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass on the goodnews. Chiu Nan is not charging for it, so we should make it free for everyone.Your reward is when someone, through your word of mouth, benefits from the regime. Gallstones may not be everyone's concern. But they should be because we all have them. Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer.'Cancer is never the first illness,' Chiu Nan points out. 'Usually,there are a lot of other problems leading to cancer.

In the research in China , It came across some materials which say that people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It's a matter of big or small, many or few.

One of the symptom s of gallstones is a feeling of bloatedness after a heavy meal. You feel like you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious,you feel pain in the liver area.' So if you think you have gallstones,Chiu Nan offers the following method to remove them naturally.

The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.

Regimen:
1. For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice every day.Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.
2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.
3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.
4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.
5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage. PS. 1cup=250ml, �cup lemon juice=3 lemons (aprox.)

The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. 'Usually they float,' Chiu Nan notes. 'You might want to count them. I have had people who passes 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many.'

'Even if you don't have any symptom s of gallstones, you still might have some. It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now and then.
