Haw- rylak spoke on the popular topics of arthritis (pains in the joints) and rashes rashes (eczema and psoriasis). Arthritis is a disease of the joints characterized by pain, swelling, redness, redness, heat and sometimes structural changes. The two most common forms of this disease are Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. ' Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease and the most common form of arthritis, is the gradual deterioration deterioration of cartilage, usually in the larger, weight-bearing joints such as hips, knees and spine. By the 8th decade, approximately 90% of all people are affected by this disease. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic joint disease affecting affecting one or more joints. The most commonly affected joints are those of the hands and feet, particularly those of the knuckles, toes, wrists, knees, ankles and neck. In addition to the accepted treatments treatments for arthritis (including aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteri- ods, antimalarials, gold salts, and cytotoxic cytotoxic drugs) Dr. John advises accu- puncture, chiropractic and, specifically, nutritional therapies. A layman's treatment for osteoarthritis, discussed during the lecture, advised placing non-sulphured raisins in a bowl. Beef Eater gin is poured over, just to cover. Allow to sit until gin is absorbed. Eat 9 raisins per day. Gin is made from juniper berries which are thought to be good for the kidneys, kidneys, possibly aiding in detoxification. detoxification. A diet specific for the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism, with a heavy accent on fresh fruit, vegetables vegetables and supplements was stressed. Giving up refined grains, sugars, processed processed foods, coffee and black tea can make a real different in managing managing arthritis. Limiting red meats, sweets, dairy products and alcohol are also strongly indicated. Acidforming Acidforming foods are to comprise less than 20% of the diet, and we were given a list of acid forming and of alkaline alkaline forming foods. As you can imagine, imagine, red meats and eggs are high on the acid-forming list. On the subject of rashes, we learned that a rash is often a symptom symptom of another disorder, sometimes an infection, and the treatment should concentrate on discovering the underlying underlying cause. A rash is generally caused by something in the body trying to get out, and a purification diet is advised. It is not advised to suppress the symptom with the use of a steroid, Program Co-ordinator Parent Skills Series The Family Education Resource Centre of Durham House is offering a series of four workshops for parents of children 1-10 years old, in Oshawa this fall.

MacDonald MacDonald is an adventure/thriller writer, who relies on clever plots to sustain the suspense; and the adventure is never wholly terrifying. The waters of the Florida Keys are the scene of a sudden, massive, totally destructive explosion which leaves only splinters of the boat sunk to the bottom. Who dunnit, who was his real target? Is the Chilean underground responsible, and was the explosion connected to drugs? All questions which Travis is left to explain. He has a great 'gift of the gab' and a most interesting perspective on life and its peculiarities, making for a pretty good book.
