How to Avoid a Costly Mistake When Choosing a Lawn Maintenance Company

Your home is one of the biggest investments you will ever have and the lawn is part of that investment, you need to take care of it as well as you care for the structure. When you choose a lawn care company, make sure to choose wisely or you may end up with a brown yard and a colony of bugs living near the patio. You need a professional lawn care service and the only way to get one is to ask questions, get references and ask around to your friends and neighbors about their lawns and whom they trust.

You need to know what lawn services you need or want from a lawn care company. Do you want them to mow and trim or do you want them to trim the hedges every so often as well? What about seasonal pest control and fertilizing and aeration and thatching? These are all things you must ask yourself if your lawn will need and when.

What are the lawn care company’s prices? Comparing prices is a big part of making the decision for which company to choose for your lawn care needs. If you are expecting the most thorough, professional service in town-don’t hire the cheapest company available. No one ever bought a new Mercedes for the cost of a Ford.

Also, no reputable company is going to give you an estimate over the phone. They are going to come out and walk around your property to give you a fair price for the work that needs to be done. Ask for prices for seasonal work as well, if there is a discount for signing up to work with them for an entire year verses one or two seasons, such as spring and summer.

A reputable company will offer you before and after photographs of their work. This is one of the best sources of proof you can have. In addition, ask if they have written or published any articles, special reports or books. A published author carries more creditability than a no-name company leaving flyers on the door

The company you choose should also be licensed and insured and don’t be shy about asking for proof. If something happens while they are working on your property, you want to make sure they are responsible for whatever it is that happens.

A few other questions to ask would be about chemical treatments, do they use safe chemical treatments? Are they licensed to spray your yard? Do they give you advanced notice of chemical treatments so you can prepare by keeping pets and children inside. If they use chemical treatments, do they post small yard signs warning people to stay off the grass for a period of time so the chemical can do its job?

You will have to agree on what maintenance you will be doing and what they will be doing, such as sweeping or blowing the sidewalks or the mowing or trimming near the landscaping. Have a written estimate prepared with every detail spelled out so there are no miscommunications.

Choosing an Assisted Living Home For Your Elderly Parent

Making the decision that your elderly parent needs more than assistance in their own home is a difficult one. However, finding an assisted living home that meets your needs can ease the process. What sorts of things should you consider when choosing an assisted living home?

1. Proximity. If possible, choose a home that is close to your own so you can visit often and spontaneously. Knowing you are just a few minutes away will be comforting to your parent and will ease the transition.

2. Caregivers. Visit the home during each shift to meet the caregivers. States require training and certification, but you should look for experienced caregivers who genuinely enjoy caring for the elderly. Sometimes you can tell by the expressions on their faces if they are happy there, or just going through the motions. Ask how many caregivers there are per shift, and how many residents live in the home. Try to find an assisted living home with a high caregiver to resident ratio.

3. Meals. Visit during mealtimes. It is important that the food served be nutritious and delicious. The elderly eat less as they age. Appetites diminish over time, and taste buds degenerate. Food must be appetizing, fresh and high quality so that the amount eaten provides adequate nutrition. Ideally, choose an assisted living home with a nutritionist on staff, or one that consults with nutritionists for meal planning. Be sure the home caters to dietary needs and offers substitutes for restricted items.

4. Activities. Activities should nurture the body, mind and spirit, and create community. Ask for the monthly calendar of activities. Are the activities interesting, fun, engaging, varied? The primary reason the elderly are placed in assisted living homes is concern for their safety living alone. An assisted living home should not only be a safe place, but one of community for your loved one. Are residents in the common areas, or are they all sequestered in their rooms? Do they speak to each other at meals or during activities, or are the only voices those of the caregivers?

5. Amenities. Amenities can add much to the quality of life in a care home. This is where care homes can differ significantly. Ask what makes their home special. Do they nurture the body, mind and spirit? Do they offer holistic therapies? Special programs? Do they have doctors that make house calls?

6. Volunteers. Befriend volunteers, as they can be eyes and ears of anything amiss with the home. Homes that are interested in the well being of their residents will often utilize volunteers, such as for reading out loud, helping residents with writing cards or checks, etc., because it allows them to offer more to their residents.

7. Pets. There are organizations all across the country that train pets and their owners to provide therapy visits. Visits with animals are particularly appreciated by the elderly, especially those with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Find out if volunteers come to the home, and what they do for the residents.

8. Cleanliness. Is the home neat and clean? Do the bathrooms look and smell clean? Are the common areas tidy? Do the residents look groomed and are their clothes clean? (Residents have rights and they are free to refuse showers, food, medication, assistance with dressing and hygiene, all of which can cause a resident to appear uncared for; however, the resident’s doctor, guardian or relatives are to be notified so that any underlying issues can be addressed. If all the residents appear to be unkempt, there may be an issue with the care being provided.)

9. Violations. States have regulatory agencies that keep track of the violations of assisted living homes. It may not concern you that much if a care home failed to chart one of its routine fire drills, but it should concern you if there have been multiple claims of abuse, neglect, or safety issues.

10. Cost. Care homes usually have sliding fees based on the size of the room, whether it is a suite with a private bath, and the level of care the resident requires. The more care, the higher the fee. The larger the room, the more the cost, with suites being the most expensive. Personal items, such as Depends, other hygiene items, denture creams, medication, etc. are all the responsibility of the resident. Meals and snacks, assistance with daily needs such as getting up, going to bed, bathing, toileting, cleaning, laundry service, activities and entertainment are usually included in the monthly fee. Find out what is not included in the fee, so that there are no surprises at the end of the month. And do not be afraid to ask what their policy is in raising fees: do they give notice, how often have they raised fees in the past, do they anticipate raising fees in the next six months?

Take a checklist or list of questions when you visit care homes. Make sure you get the answers to all your questions so that you are fully informed when making your decision. When you’ve done your homework and narrowed it down to the best 3 or 4 that meet your needs, if possible, take your parent to tour the homes. Allow your parent to select the one that feels right for them. You’ll ease the transition by including your parent in the decision-making, and you’ll both have peace of mind that you’ve made the best choice.

The Warning Signs of Pleural Thickening

If you have shortness of breath and/or pain in the chest, then you will want to read this article. Pleural mesothelioma is a type of cancer found in the lungs. In this article you will learn more about what pleural mesothelioma is and the warning signs of pleural thickening.

Your lungs have a lining or membrane that surrounds them. This same lining encases most other organs as well. In the lining around the lungs there are two layers. The inner most layer near the lung tissue is the visceral layer. The outer layer is called the parietal layer. In between them is a lubricating fluid to help the two layers slide back and forth over each other. The sliding action is from our lungs expanding and contracting during breathing.

In pleural mesothelioma the cancer begins in these layers. As the cancer spreads it causes the layer to become more restrictive and thus pleural thickening begins. As the pleural thickening increases the mesothelioma symptoms become greater. These symptoms include difficulty in breathing, difficulty in sleeping, pain in the chest and abdominal regions, blood vomits, weakness, weight loss, loss of appetite, lower back pains, persistent coughing, hoarseness of voice, sensory loss and difficulty in swallowing. If you have any of these you should consult your doctor, especially if you have a history of exposure to asbestos.

If you go to the doctor as soon as you have any of these symptoms and are diagnosed with mesothelioma there is a much better chance of treatment. The first step of diagnosis is to have a chest x-ray or a CT scan completed. This will reveal any pleural thickening. This is followed by a bronchoscopy. A doctor may also elect to perform a biopsy or a thoracoscopy, where a mini camera is inserted inside the body and with that a tissue sample is attained for further diagnosis.

Treatment of mesothelioma is directly proportional to the time of the revelation of the disease. In the early stages the cancer can be removed through surgery and you can possible avoid having radiation treatment and chemotherapy.

10 Plant Care Ideas You Can Make At Home For Your Organic Garden

There is a renewed interest in organic gardening and organic foods and the health of our families. With the right homemade plant care recipes and tips you will be able to achieve an organic garden, with healthier foods for you and your family. By reducing the use of commercial chemicals you will be doing your part to help improve the environment.

1. Homemade fertilizer recipes:

Homemade fertilizer recipes for your garden will make it easy for you to fertilize all of your plants. You will always develop preferences for one method over another because of things like ease of use, availability of materials, cost of materials or whatever, but making your fertilizer at home will make fertilizing your vegetables, fruit trees and flowers easier for you. and you will have the confidence that your food is more healthy for your family. Use things like Epsom salts for fertilizers.

2. Homemade insecticide:

The first thing you should remember. There are more good bugs than bad ones, be sure to target your insecticide usage to the bugs you actually want to kill. Frequently things like garlic, molasses, hot peppers, etc. are suggested to kill insects.

3. Homemade fungicide:

The first consideration when using many of the homemade fungicides is to keep them agitated as you use them and be sure to cover all of the plant. Interestingly we can often target very specific diseases with homemade products. Steep some Chives in water to control Powdery Mildew. Many times the simple things work very well.

4. Weed Control:

A weed is any plant growing where it’s not wanted. Try to control weeds before they mature and produce seed. There will be far less next year. There are a number of home based things we can use to kill weeds, like salt (be very careful where you use salt). Did you know weeds can be part of our physical fitness programs. Just pull em.

5. Green Manure:

Green manure is a crop that is seeded for the purpose of being incorporated into the soil when it is still green and succulent. The crop species are usually legumes because of their ability to fix nitrogen in their root system and to release it back to the soil as the plant breaks down. The organic matter available from green manure is so good for the soil that it is hard to duplicate .

6. Composting:

The practice of mixing vegetable matter and a small amount of animal matter together so natural microorganisms can break down the fibrous portions and make a soil amendment. Compost is extremely valuable around the garden for adding organic matter to soil, serving as a mulch for your plants to control soil moisture and adding nutrients.

7. Vermicomposting:

Vermicomposting is composting using earthworms to speed up the process and to make a richer compost for the garden. The microorganisms in the gut of the earthworm break down the food. The castings from the earthworm contain large numbers of these microorganisms as well as organic matter. The benefit of these microorganisms to the soil is unmeasurable. Did you know? Vermicomposting can be accomplished in an apartment because the worms speed up the composting process and eliminate the odor.

8. Compost Tea:

The best liquid fertilizer you can make. Use compost from vermicomposting to make compost tea and use a diluted version of the resulting liquid, for all of your plants. You can use regular compost or even animal manure for compost tea bur vermicompost is always the one of choice. Compost tea is often recommended for spraying on your plants to control some fungal diseases. Soak the compost for at least 2 weeks.

9. Soil improvement in your garden:

The proper treatment of your soil is of prime importance in getting the most nutritious and flavorful food possible for the family. The spring rush to plant our crops frequently means we do not take time to prepare the most important part of our garden. Slow down just enough to prepare your seed bed properly.

10. Homemade houseplant fertilizer:

Most of us enjoy houseplants especially in the winter months when the days are short, the weather is cold and snow is frequent. Using homemade products to get lush green houseplants helps to brighten the winter period and avoids undesirable chemicals in the house. Try black coffee diluted 1:4 water every 2 weeks.

When you grow your own food, control the fertilizer you use, the pesticides you use and harvest your own garden produce, you know what you are feeding yourself and your family. Can you be that sure of the food you purchase?

Carm Paynter BSc.(Agr.) Carm graduated with a Bachelors degree in the field of agriculture. He worked in and taught in the field of Agriculture for many years. He is presently retired with a mini farm and a greenhouse, where he grows much of his own food and potted flowers for the spring garden trade. He has been observing the loss of several bird species in his area and is growing very concerned with the major reduction in the bee populations which he attributes to excessive pesticide use.

Types of Pain and Medications Used For Mesothelioma

Almost everyone with mesothelioma experiences pain, the more so as the disease advances. Most patients use of a variety of pain medications to reduce pain and maintain their quality of life. Here are the kinds of pain that people with mesothelioma must deal with, and the types of pain medications used to control the pain.

Mild to moderate pain

Non-opioids: Examples are acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen. You can buy many of these over the counter, without a prescription. Some stronger NSAIDs do require a prescription.

Tingling and burning pain

Two other groups of drugs, antidepressants and antiseizure medications, have proven to be very useful in managing tingling and burning sensations. Taking an antidepressant does not mean that you are depressed or have a mental illness, and taking an antiseizure medication does not mean that you are going to have seizures. If your doctor prescribes one of these s/he is simply making use of some additional therapeutic properties of these drugs.

Antidepressants: Drugs such amitriptyline, imipramine, doxepin and trazodone have proved helpful in alleviating pain when there has been nerve damage. They are also helpful as aids for sleeping. A prescription is needed for these medicines.

Antiepileptics: Carbamezeping, lamotrine, and gabapentin are three of the most used antiseizure medications. All of these require a prescription.

Moderate to severe pain

Opioids: Examples are hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, fentanyl and methadone. All of these medications require a prescription. Nonopioids may also be used along with opioids to control moderate to severe pain.

Breakthrough Pain

ACTIQ (Oral Transmucosal Fentanyl Citrate) is the first analgesic (pain relief) drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration specifically for breakthrough pain. It comes as a lozenge on a handle, a lollipop for pain. Fentanyl, ACTIQ’s active ingredient, is a very effective opiate, 100 times stronger than an equivalent dose of morphine. It dissolves in saliva, and is absorbed through the mucus membranes that line the mouth. Pain relief occurs within 5 to 10 minutes. People find the drug easy to use, effective, and easily tolerated. Oxycodone and hydromorphone can also be used for breakthrough pain, but neither of these are available as lozenges in the mouth absorption.

Determining the Causes of Food Allergic Reactions

Finding out what causes allergies can be difficult at best. Try to identify your culprit foods. People with an immediate-onset allergy generally react to one or two foods, while those with a delayed-onset sensitivity may react to as many as 15. Keep reading to learn how to find out what causes allergies and the body’s allergic response.

Understanding the Allergic Response

A food allergy is actually an immune system function. Basically, the body senses a substance that it doesn’t like or want inside the body. It responds by releasing white blood cells along with histamine and leukotrienes, which cause inflammation. That inflammation can occur in the stomach, intestinal tract, throat, mouth or in the form of a rash.

The immune system may also manufacture antibodies. These “mop up” the food in the intestines, blood or elsewhere in the body, creating tiny particles called immune complexes. These can also lead to harmful physical effects.

Generally, with immediate-onset allergies, you’ll experience your allergic reaction within an hour or two of eating the trigger food. The allergy will often manifest itself as hives or hay fever-like symptoms, but it can also be a swelling of the throat or mouth area.

With delayed-response allergic reactions, symptoms will appear up to 72 hours after eating the culprit food. They’re usually provoked by eating a large amount of it or ingesting it frequently.

Finding Out the Diet Resulting in Your Allergies

Keep a Food Diary

The best way to monitor your consumption and track down an allergy is to keep a food diary. By monitoring everything you eat and tracking your symptoms, you will start to see a pattern, eventually allowing you to pinpoint certain trigger items you eat.

Cut Out Suspect Food

When you think a particular food may be causing your allergies, try to stop eating it for at least three weeks. Once the food is out of your system, try reintroducing it. If you experience the symptoms, then you’ve found your allergy.

If you believe your allergy may be caused by multiple culprit foods, try eliminating all the suspect items from your diet for three weeks. After this cleansing period, begin to eat a little of each individual food, one-by-one. Allow for a four-day window between introductions. During this period, keep a careful eye on your symptoms.

Sometimes, eliminating certain foods which were previously staples of your diet can lead to withdrawal symptoms like fatigue, headaches and aches and pains. That’s not at all unusual and ought not alarm you.

Omit the Allergy Food

Once you’ve found your culprit food, it’s time to eliminate it from your diet. Ideally, your symptoms should disappear within 3 to 6 months. Sometimes, if the allergy isn’t severe, the foods can be gradually reintroduced in small amounts. Before you do so with certain foods, though, you may want to consult with your doctor or a nutritionist.

By understanding your allergies, the types you have and seeing the relationship between then and what you eat, you can find out which afflict you and gain relief.

Treatments For Shoulder Dislocation – Get the Right Fix

If a shoulder becomes dislocated there are a few different treatment options. Here are some treatments for shoulder dislocation – first some home remedies until you can reach a doctor or emergency room.

1. Use a sling; if you don’t have a sling, you can make one using a piece of cloth made into a circle. A sheet is a good option for this.
2. Place a pillow between the arm and the body to add support
3. Do not eat – most treatment will require an empty stomach, so if you must have something, eat ice chips until you can be seen.

Sometimes there is no further action required to treat the dislocated shoulder than to place in a sling and take a prescription pain reliever; but for young patients, there is a higher risk for reoccurrence and so should be treated more aggressively. Patients over the age of 40 have a low risk for reoccurrence. Immediate treatment of some sort as soon as possible will reduce the amount of damage to the joint -so it is imperative to act quickly.

Medical treatments for shoulder dislocation include operative and non-operative. For first time shoulder dislocation a sling and physically therapy may be tried first. The patient would be required to limit the use of the arm for several weeks, by continuing to wear the sling and participate in physical therapy to build stamina, and strengthen the shoulder muscles, so as to prevent reoccurrence.

In the doctor’s office or ER, they may use medication to relax the patient and then relocated the shoulder manually after reviewing x-rays to see exactly what the extent of the dislocation is. The patient would then need to wear a sling and rest the joint for several weeks and could be prescribed physical therapy to help strengthen the shoulder. Medications and procedures to do this include general anesthesia or local anesthetics and sedatives. A dislocated shoulder can be extremely painful, but once the shoulder has been manipulated back into place, the pain relief is instantaneous.

For a more severe case operation may be the best option- surgery is done to repair and tighten the shoulder structure so as to prevent another incident. The most common procedure is open reconstruction, but there are newer, less invasive procedures that are becoming more available such as Arthroscopic surgery.

More treatments for shoulder dislocation include the use of an ice pack for the first 1 to 2 days and then a heat pack after the first two days for pain relief. Another treatment for shoulder dislocation is the use of a brace; while this can prevent further reoccurrence, the brace itself can be difficult for an athlete to continue to play their sport while wearing.

Hair Highlighting 101

Highlighting can add the illusion of depth, volume and texture to your hair. The process involves coloring some strands of your hair – making it lighter or darker, depending on your overall look (color of your skin, eyes, hair) and your desired look. Your highlights should compliment your natural color, not giving it an odd contrast or contrived color. Highlighting is also a great way to start if you have doubts in coloring or dying your hair.

Three things to remember before highlighting:

1. Go light or go home

Usually, in using a color for highlights, you go two or three shades lighter than your original hair color. Going beyond three shades will look extremely unnatural and peculiar.

2. Condition your hair to avoid drying

Deep condition your hair or use a clarifying treatment at least three days before highlighting because some chemicals in hair color can seriously dry your hair. After coloring, some prefer to shampoo immediately after. But, it is better to shampoo your hair a day after – this will help maintain the color.

3. Consider lowlights

You also have the option to have lowlights with your highlights which can give your hair more dimension. Lowlights make your hair darker in shade. It will make the top of your hair look heavier than the bottom. But, it is best to go to your professional stylist when trying both highlights and lowlights.

Tips for hair highlighting

- Mix two or more colors. Experiment and be creative. Just remember to use the color mix once you combine them.

- If you bought a highlighting kit, you can observe that the brush they use don’t really give you much control. Flat acrylic brushes measuring ½ – ¼ inch, which can be bought at art supply or hardware stores, give you a better grip thus making the highlights look more natural.

- Always protect your skin from hair color because it contains chemicals that can be damaging.

- Use latex gloves and make sure they fit snugly.

- Apply highlights only to the top layer of your head to create that depth and dimension you want to achieve.

Streaking

Streaking is used for a sleeker and glossier effect. You can go for half-head or full-head. Half-head streaking gives your hair brighter effects done really close to the hairline. This is done through bleaching and wrapping small or thick strands of your hair in foil paper.

While whole-head streaking involves bleaching and coloring the entire head, thus producing a blonde effect. Darker streaks are placed closer to the hairline. Both procedures need a touch-up every six to eight weeks before growth of new hair becomes noticeable.

D-I-Y streaking is another method used for dry hair. Best results are seen for medium-brown to light-brown hair. A streaking kit is available at the shop, but it should include a rat-tail brush, toothbrush, a non-metal bowl for the bleach, foil paper and a couple of clips.

To do, part a thin portion of your hair at the top part of the head using the comb. Place a 5 cm foil strip under it. Take the toothbrush with bleach and swathe over the parted hair. Cover it with foil strip. Take another part of the hair about 1.25 cm below and continue the process until the desired effect is achieved.

Check the color of the wrapped hair – it should be golden. If not, reapply bleach and leave for a couple of minutes. While taking out the foil wraps, ask a friend to help you rinse with warm water to take off the bleach. Apply shampoo and conditioner after unveiling the wraps.

Finger painting

Finger painting is a method for a subtler effect. Run four fingers from your hairline to the back of the crown after dipping it in bleaching solution. Do it as if pushing back the hair from your face. Don’t forget to use gloves. Follow the instructions at the back of the carton, like how long to leave the hair before rinsing, shampooing and conditioning.

Shampoos

The most practical and cost effective way to extend the duration of your highlights is the use of color tinted shampoos. Since these are temporary, you just stop using a certain color of shampoo if you don’t like it or if you want to try other colors. You can even use them on their own, although the effect will be less.

Would Believe That Eggplant Can Treat Skin Cancer Successfully?

What I am about to tell you is about a product that will not improve a persons survival of cancer for a year or two, but for a lifetime when death happens because of natural causes and not because of cancer.

And success can usually be seen in 3 months! 80,000 cases later and not one case of cancer is on record of coming back. Now that is real success! And it does not harm healthy cells.

Now this research is not from some obscure private company conducting their research on the kitchen table, but from the prestigious Royal London Hospital. Look up Royal London Hospital in the Wikipedia and you will see that the hospital was founded in 1740.

No one in the medical community is paying attention to this discovery. Only one MD had the courage to publicize the facts and has spent the rest of his career making sure that anyone that will listen will be convinced that nobody does it better than Mother Nature. He may even be changing the way things are done in modern medicine.

Now let’s get down to it. Would you ever believe that a simple extract from the eggplant could ever have anything to do with treating cancer? What we are talking about are non-melanoma skin cancer also known as squamous and basal cell cancers. What is really surprising is that some researchers have know about this for over 20 years. It wasn’t until Jonathan Wright, MD published the research and dared to expose the truth.

The Royal London Hospital conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial using a form of eggplant extract which was designated BEC5. During the trial doctors attacked both invasive and non-invasive non-melanoma skin cancers. The results were overwhelming and were equal to or better than the results from invasive surgery. The only difference is that there were no scars.

The real plus here is that the cancer never returned. This is fantastic because cancer treated with chemo and/or other traditional cancer treatment usually returns in 95% of the cases.

This is a major breakthrough.

Why? Because there are more than a million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosed every year.

Are you wondering why this major breakthrough was never announced. Answer: Modern medicine has a “golden rule” – those with the gold make the rules!

Now let’s investigate why eggplant works. Eggplant is an alkalizing food, BEC5 BEC5 works because it contains a plant sugar called rhamnose. Specific endogenous lectins, are present in the plasma membranes of susceptible cancer cells, but they not present in normal cells. Therefore BEC5 recognizes and binds the sugar rhamnose of the glycoalkaloid to the cancer cell.

These endogenous lectins are receptors for the sugar part of the glycoalkaloids. They enter the cancer cell and cause cell death by destroying the lysosome.

The side effect are minimal. There may be some reddening. The patient will also experience, during treatment, an ulceration and shedding of unwanted skin cells. The affected area should be cleansed with a mild antiseptic. Avoid any contact with the eyes.

The length of time for continuous treatment is 7 to 60 days and is dependent on the success of the application. Do not apply BEC5 to moles and melanomas and should not be used by people who are allergic to eggplant or aspirin.

BEC5 helps remove and protect again skin sun spots and really is a major step forward for the control of skin cancer. It’s proven efficacy and safety is a significant breakthrough for the majority of skin carcinomas which appears to be a common form of skin cancer.
