What Can Green Tea Pills Do For You
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Author : Shaun Cartwright
By now, almost everyone who uses health and dietary supplements will have heard of Green Tea; it is used as a basic component in many antioxidant and dietary products Available as liquid extract, regular tea or tablets, green tea pill products are considered to be some of the most effective ways to burn extra calories When used for extended periods it helps to re-generate human body cells and as a consequence actually slows down the normal aging process
When used in weight loss products, it shows some amazing qualities like helping the metabolism by ridding the system of toxins and using the natural laxative quality it possesses To help stop fatty tissue from forming, products using it increase the number of calories we burn by speeding our normal metabolic rate This said, green tea pill supplements still need the help of the person using them because if you are eating large amounts of junk food every day without any physical activity then you will still put on weight Many people seem to think that its use will solve all their weight problems but the fact you are taking the product implies you are trying to improve your health by eating more healthily
For the best results when using green tea as a hot drink; you are advised to use it prior sleep when the metabolism is slowing down It is quite normal for most people to find they’re stomach and bowel upset during the first few days after using the product but this should not last much longer than this Newer users of green tea pill products are more likely to see this effect as their body becomes used to the way it increases the metabolic rate ridding it of the toxins and burning calories that normally turn into fat Indications that it is working can generally be seen within seven days of use providing other aspects of the diet are followed like drinking plenty of fluids combined with physical activity, fruit and vegetables
Sometimes you will find ginseng is mixed with green tea to improve its properties and effectiveness Considered to be the root of life in China and Tibet, ginseng root brings the vitamin and mineral supplement the body needs during a detoxification period Ginseng is also beneficial for the immune system and when used in combination with green tea, helps to improve the energy level of a person who is losing weight so they do not feel so lethargic Green tea and ginseng have not been found to have any harmful side-effects even during periods of up to six months at a time

How To Talk Yourself Into Making Personal Changes
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Author : Alan Densky
Did you ever try to do away with an unconstructive behavior, only to not succeed? There is a long list of widespread problem behaviors that people often try to alter or do away with using hypnosis Perhaps the most common are: Overeating and weight loss; stop smoking; quit chewing tobacco; stop nail biting; increasing self-confidence; overcoming insomnia and sleeping better; improving memory; and managing stress
WHAT THE MIND CAUSES, THE MIND CAN CURE:
The motivation for our behaviors starts in our thoughts If you mull it over, all of these destructive behaviors are the result of negative thinking In other words, you think and motivate yourself into all of these behaviors Or at least you think yourself into feeling worried, and that can be the reason for these behaviors And given that you think and motivate yourself into these behaviors, you can think and motivate yourself out of them as well But in order to effectively think and motivate yourself out of these behaviors, you will need to know the “Motivation Formula For Success ”
DESIRE:
You are almost certainly reading this editorial because you want the motivation to alter some personal behaviors And that is fitting for the reason that the first building block in the “Motivation Formula For Your Success” is that you must want or desire to change If you have read this far, at least some part of you wants a change
BELIEF IS REQUIRED FOR MOTIVATION:
Before anyone can eliminate a harmful behavior, that person must be motivated to do so Merely wanting a change is insufficient
Motivation comes from the things that we believe If we believe that something very important to us will get better or “become enhanced” if we modify our behavior, we will feel a high level of motivation Conversely, if we believe that something very important to us will be placed in jeopardy if we don’t make a change in our behavior, we will also feel motivated to make a change
Some straightforward examples of these motivational beliefs might be:
If I take some weight off, then I’ll be able to find a lover
If I stop smoking, then I’ll be healthier
If I stop my nail biting, then my hands will be a lot prettier
TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN CREATE THE BELIEFS THAT LEAD TO MOTIVATION:
NLP - which is short for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, offers methods that can immediately produce the element of belief You can learn more about this by reading the articles “How To Get Motivated To Exercise Using Hypnosis And NLP” and “Motivation Theory - How To Quit Smoking Using NLP And Hypnosis For Motivation ” These articles are both available in my free hypnosis research library
DECISION:
The dictionary defines the word “Decision” as making up one’s mind a verdict or judgment When you accept as true a concept that gives you a powerful feeling of motivation to make a change, you will feel a compulsion to make a decision to get rid of a negative behavior Decision is the key that unlocks the door and compels action
ACTION:
The dictionary defines the word “Action” as an act or deed to do or perform Taking action means that instead of just thinking about making personal changes, you will actually take action and create your desired changes
SELF-TALK:
One of the many reasons that individuals are unsuccessful at eliminating a negative behavior is because of their self-talk Self-talk is significant because time and again it is an important part of what caused the negative behavior in the first place
I’d like you to think about this for a moment: Let’s say that you want to stop smoking Possibly the first thing that you might say or think to yourself is: “I’m not going to smoke any longer ”
It is universal for people to tell themselves what they are not going to do Unfortunately, when we tell ourselves what we aren’t going to do, we are actually compelling ourselves to do it!
SELF-TALK EXERCISE:
Say the following to yourself: I can’t see blue I can’t see polka dots
I’ll bet your mind showed you the color blue, and then it showed you polka dots That’s because when we tell ourselves what we do not want to do, or what we won’t do, in order to make sense of it our mind must show us doing what it is that we wish to stop doing And when we imagine ourselves engaging in a behavior, our mind compels us to produce that behavior
SUMMARY:
In order to modify a negative behavior, we must first want or DESIRE to get rid of it BELIEF is the element that creates MOTIVATION MOTIVATION is the drive that compels us to DECISION DECISION is the key to ACTION Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a modality that we can use to facilitate beliefs, motivation, decisions, and actions
When we tell ourselves what we aren’t going to do, we make a mental image of ourselves using the behavior that we want to modify And that mental movie gives us a powerful urge to create the negative behavior So if we want to eliminate a negative behavior, rather than tell ourselves what we won’t do, we must always tell ourselves what we will do
To break the smoking addiction say: “I can live without them ”
To eliminate cravings for fattening food or to quit chewing tobacco say: “I can live without it ”
To eliminate stress say: “I’m relaxed and calm, both mentally and physically ”
To fall asleep more quickly say: “I fall asleep quickly, and sleep restfully throughout the entire night ”
To break the smoking addiction say: “I can live without them ”
To eliminate cravings for fattening food or to quit chewing tobacco say: “I can live without it ”
To eliminate stress say: “I’m relaxed and calm, both mentally and physically ”
To fall asleep more quickly say: “I fall asleep quickly, and sleep restfully throughout the entire night “

Homeopathy Proven Alternative Medicine Or A Placebo
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Author : Sanjib Sarkar
Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician disenchanted with these methods, began to develop a theory based on three principles: the law of similars, the minimum dose, and the single remedy The word homeopathy is derived from the Greek words for like (homoios) and suffering (pathos) With the law of similars, Hahnemann theorized that if a large amount of a substance causes certain symptoms in a healthy person, smaller amounts of the same substance can treat those symptoms in someone who is ill
The basis of his theory took shape after a strong dose of the malaria treatment quinine caused his healthy body to develop symptoms similar to ones caused by the disease He continued to test his theory on himself as well as family and friends with different herbs, minerals and other substances He called these experiments “provings ”
As we might expect, the intensity of the symptoms caused by the original proving was harrowing So Hahnemann began decreasing the doses to see how little of a substance could still produce signs of healing With the minimum dose, or law of infinitesimals, Hahnemann believed that a substance strength and effectiveness increased the more it was diluted
Minuscule doses were prepared by repeatedly diluting the active ingredient by factors of 10 A “6X” preparation (the X is the Roman numeral for 10) is a 1-to-10 dilution repeated six times, leaving the active ingredient as one part per million Essential to the process of increasing potency while decreasing the actual amount of the active ingredient is vigorous shaking after each dilution
Some homeopathic remedies are so dilute, no molecules of the healing substance remain Even with sophisticated technology now available, analytical chemists may find it difficult or impossible to identify any active ingredient But the homeopathic belief is that the substance has left its imprint or a spirit-like essence that stimulates the body to heal itself
Critics of homeopathy point out that no way such a dilute medicine could work People are feeling better because of the placebo effect Critics also say the research in homeopathy is very unimpressive Proponents of homeopathy point out to numerous trials that have been successful
Recent homeopathic trials include a trial done by A Swiss-UK review of 110 trials found no convincing evidence the treatment worked any better than a placebo However, there seems to be many problems with this type of trail
The University of Limberg investigators, who are all epidemiologists, found 107 controlled studies in homeopathy Most of these studies did not meet the research standard that they were looking for However, 22 trials meet their strict criteria The researchers used trials with a large number of people, double blind studies where neither physician or participant knew who was receiving the remedy or the placebo and a random assignment of patients in a treatment group
Of the 22 trials, 15 were in the favor of Homeopathy working better than a placebo The other 7 trials showed Homeopathy working equivalent to a placebo This is almost a 2 to 1 ratio of successful homeopathic trials to unsuccessful studies

Passenger s Rights For Airport Security Screening
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Author : Natalia Ippolito
I am a former TSA officer and passenger advocate My goal is to arm you with valuable and usable information to make your next trip through airport security an effortless one
According to Homeland Security, you surrender your 4th amendment rights when either of these two situations occur:
* When you hand your bag over to an airline or TSA employee
* When you walk through the metal detector at checkpoint
You are now in the hands of the federal government They may conduct any method of primary or secondary screening following federal guidelines You do have the right to ask for a private screening at any time during the screening process or sit down if you cannot stand
Recently, I have received questions about passenger rights relating to the Backscatter and Millimeter Wave body imaging technology Passengers want to know if they have to go through the body imaging machines or do they have a choice not to
My answer is you do have a choice! Before these new technologies, TSA always had an alternative screening method available and still does
TSA has implemented two “Whole Body Imaging” technologies in primary and secondary screening called, the Backscatter and Millimeter Wave Both are an effective way to detect weapons, liquid explosives and other threat items concealed under layers of clothing without physical contact in a matter of seconds Both have privacy issues with the scanned images; however, TSA is currently working to rectify that problem Images will be deleted immediately once viewed and will never be stored, transmitted or printed
Currently, the Backscatter is being used in secondary screening in lieu of a pat-down and the Millimeter Wave is being used in primary screening in addition to the walk-through metal-detector The Backscatter and Millimeter Wave are still in the pilot phase at several airports
There is one question you need to ask TSA at your airport Is the Backscatter or Millimeter Wave in the pilot phase? If it is in the pilot phase, it’s offered on a voluntary basis and it’s an alternative to the traditional pat-down If it’s not in the pilot phase, then be warned! When you decline, you will undergo additional screening using another screening method One other method would be a full-body pat-down
According to a TSA spokesperson, ninety percent of the passengers at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport prefer the Backscatter over a pat-down It has not been determined how passenger imaging technology will be used in the future If you feel this type of technology is not offering total privacy, then opt for a full-body pat-down
In addition to Whole Body Imaging machines, you also have a Trace Portal machine called, the Puffer The Puffer is different in the sense that it blows air onto you and then analyzes it for trace amounts of explosives
I recently went through the Puffer machine and I can confirm that your skirt or dress will not fly up It is impossible for any dress to fly up because there are no holes at the bottom of the Puffer The holes are located only on the sides and blow air in that direction, not upwards No Marilyn Monroe imitations here
The same rule applies to the Puffer when it comes to having choices Just like the Whole Body Imaging machines, the Puffer is still in the pilot phase at most airports TSA does not require you to go through the Puffer; it is only on a voluntary basis
You may always refuse to be screened by any technology Just remember that if the technology is not in the pilot phase, then you will be screened by another screening method Ask what your choices are first and then make your own decision If at all possible, do not let TSA make it for you
Happy & Safe Travels!
