First, what is homeopathy? Practitioners work on the theory that it’s possible to treat symptoms with the cause of those symptoms. For instance, diluted substances may be given to the patient in pill form so that the body heals itself. Some consider this to be a type of placebo. Either way, is it safe to receive acupuncture while undergoing a ‘remedy’, as homeopaths call these diluted medicines? It may be best to consult a doctor before doing so, but many consider it safe to receive this ancient Chinese treatment while taking the diluted medication.

Acupuncture involves the use of thin, sterile needles to open pathways through which negative energy may be expelled. Specific points on the body are targeted depending on the condition or ailment from which the patient is suffering. For instance, if trying to overcome problems with fertility, specific points thought to correspond with reproductive organs may be targeted. Points may be located throughout the body, and are not always located directly in the area being targeted for treatment. Ear acupuncture, for instance, may be used by some to help patients find relief from certain conditions or symptoms.

There is only one good, knowledge and one evil, ignorance-Socrates

All things being equal, the simplest explanation or solution tends to be the best one-Akom, 14th century logician.

It is said that having and raising children is one of the greatest joy if not the best-nothing could be truer especially when it is backed by desire. Perhaps that explains why some couples who have been unable to have kids of their own settle for adoption in order to fulfill that strong aspiration thereby experiencing the adventures of full family life.

The thought of head lice in children is enough to make any parent run away screaming. But oftentimes, lice removal treatment is much worse than the problem of having bugs in the hair. Most parents just don’t realize that chemical treatments can be very dangerous for their kids.

Dangers Of Chemical Hair Lice Products

These products contain pesticides that are far from safe. Lindane, malathion, and pyrethrins all have their problems, including lice who can survive being treated with these chemicals.

Desperate parents often respond by leaving the products on their child’s head for too long. Or they do another treatment before the recommended time has passed. These tactics don’t do much to kill resistant lice. But they do increase the chances of adverse reactions.

Aqua Spiritus

There were two fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older and wiser fish swimming the other way who nods at them and says “Good morning boys, how’s the water?” The two young fish swim on a bit and eventually one of them looks at the other one and says “What the Hell is water?” I heard this story from a speech given by David Foster Wallace (RIP) who went on to express that it’s usually the most obvious and important realities that are the hardest or unstylish things talk about.

How important is water? Water is all around us and is the life blood for all forms of life on this earth. It’s a chemical substance with the formula H2O. In pure form, water is clear, colorless and tasteless. A water molecule contains one Oxygen atom and two Hydrogen atoms. They both share electrons in a covalent bonding (a balance of attracting and repelling forces between atoms), but enough about the chemistry.
