			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The debate has raged over the past years regarding the usage of human embryos for stem cell sources, countless  thousands or even millions of new parents allowed their new born baby&#8217;s umbilical cord to be discarded.  With the option of preserving the baby&#8217;s umbilical cord through <a href="http://www.lifebankusa.com/">cord blood</a> banking, the baby will benefit as a sort policy of insurance in their entire lifetime.  But first, we must know what is a cord blood all about.  A variety of ailments requires transplant of the bone marrow such as immune deficiency anemia, leukemia, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia, lymphomas and some solid tumors which consider as cancer in ovary and breast.</p>
<p>The bone marrow is very helpful and it is important source of stem cells which can be use to fight cancer cells in the body.  Like bone marrow, the cord blood is likely rich source of stem cells that can be used for medical treatments.  These types of cell that a cord blood has are the following: embryonic-like stem cells (ESC), mesenchymal (MSC) and hematopoietic (HSC).</p>
<p>Nowadays, chord blood banking becomes popular simply because many parents want their children to be assured by chord blood banking.  Many parents believe that we can&#8217;t hold the future and no one can tell what will happen in the next few years.  They just want to secure the safety and health of their kids using biological insurance policy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drug rehabilitation is a term of umbrella and includes rehabilitation diverse kinds for addictions like substance abuse treatment, alcohol detox, drug rehabilitation and painkiller addiction.  It is a slow process and it is usually takes time to fully complete recover from addiction state to the meaningful and normal life.  Proper treatment must takes place in highly personalized level so that the patient will treat from state of addiction.  Each patient has different addiction level and ability to overcome the with it.  Thus, it  is very important to treat it immediately before it comes to worst.  Usually the program for rehabilitation lasts for three months but some are required for follow ups.</p>
<p>Finding the right drug rehabilitation facility can be that hard.  The credibility and reputation of the drug addiction treatment center is usually the family of the patient is looking for.  It means to say that the patient of the family will impart their love one in order to free from addiction and to live a better life ahead.  We all know that many drug abusers are scared when they hear the word drug rehabilitation. For some, choosing the right drug rehab is the best way they can give from a person who suffer addiction to drugs.  People with work obligations and strong family are just more likely to opt of rehabilitation program for out-patient.  The staffs of these treatment centers are expert in changing the behavior of the patient towards a better one.  But the biggest issue here is how can you find the right one for a person who suffer addiction and how this treatment center that you chose will implement the best scientific approach towards the patient to get fast recovery.</p>
<p>Here are the approach that these drug treatment centers should take place and this are the following: relapse prevention, matrix model and supportive-expressive therapy.</p>
<p>I look online and I found <a href="http://bradfordhealth.com">Bradford Health</a> which offers these services that I mentioned above.  The Bradford Health is a drug rehabilitation center that is highly reputable and trust worthy. In fact, they help many people who suffer from drug addiction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The lure of “forbidden” food is almost irresistible. Who hasn’t snuck in a late night cheeseburger or a carton of ice cream on a bad day? Imagine a diet that lets you eat as much meat, cream, cheese, and high fat food as you want. There is a diet that eliminates the need for hunger in your quest for the perfect body. Simply eliminating carbohydrates from the diet allows the body to shift energy use from fat creation to rapid fat burning. However, is this miracle fat burning solution actually good for you? Are the pros worth the cons? Let’s find out as we explore the positive and negative sides of one of America’s most popular diets.</p>
<p><strong><em>The Pros of the Atkins Diet</em></strong></p>
<p>1	The Atkins Diet is highly popular so not only is this one of the easiest diets to start, support is readily available and easy to access when the going gets tough.<br />
2	Low-carb diets do not introduce as much sugar to the bloodstream. As a result, the Atkins diet can actually allow some patients with Type 2 Diabetes to stop taking their medication and live a more normal life. While the American Diabetic Association does not prescribe this diet, the Atkins Diet does offer an alternate diabetes management program for those who would prefer to live without medication.<br />
3	While most carbohydrates are banned from the Atkins diet, there is still great variety in recipes and general food selection. If properly researched, there is no limit to meal choice options. The popularity of this diet means that there are plenty of recipe books. Some restaurants even offer Atkins-friendly menu items.<br />
4	Good Bye, Bad Carbs! Hello, fast weight loss! The elimination of bad carbs allows the body to focus on using already stored fat instead of creating and storing more fat. As a small bonus, good carbohydrates with lots of fiber are sometimes okay to aid in digestion and bowel movement.<br />
5	Many claim that the Atkins Diet is human nature. Some believe that humans did not start eating grains until 10,000 years ago. They theorize that the human digestive system has not yet evolved to properly utilize grains. Eliminating carbs allows the human digestive system to return to its proper state.</p>
<p><strong><em>The Cons of Atkins</em></strong></p>
<p>1	Many participants experience little or no change over the long term. Weight that was lost is quickly regained once the diet is stopped. Often, participants regain more than they lost.<br />
2	When carbohydrates are eliminated from the diet, the human body begins ketosis which converts body fat into energy. Ketosis causes an increase in uric acid and ketones. The end result is an increase in kidney problems, gout, and headaches.<br />
3	The lack of vegetables and grains increases bad cholesterol and is proven to increase the risk of cardiac disease.<br />
4	According to the American Heart Association, the Atkins Diet does not meet their recommended dietary guidelines. Low nutrient intake results in deficiencies that affect overall human health.<br />
5	The lower fiber diet causes severe constipation and often results in chronic bowel disease.</p>
