Content: It is especially important in tissue repair and fighting infections
Vitamin C is essential for the functioning of key enzymes in the body. This is because it is a cofactor, meaning that it plays vital roles in the chemistry of enzymes
Vitamin C is water-soluble, and hence, excess ascorbic acid is excreted in urine, as opposed to being stored in the fat tissue
Fresh fruits, such as lemons, kiwi, and oranges, are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C is sensitive to heat. Consequently, cooking foods destroys much of their vitamin C content
The Ascorbic Acid Tolerance Blood and Urine Test help determine the levels of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in blood and urine. It is used to diagnose vitamin C deficiency
What are the Clinical Indications for performing the Ascorbic Acid Tolerance Blood and Urine Test? Following are the clinical indications for performing the Ascorbic Acid Tolerance Blood and Urine Test: Fever
Enlarge lymph nodes
Fatigue
Pain in the gums
Severe burns
How is the Specimen Collected for the Ascorbic Acid Tolerance Blood Test? Following is the specimen collection process for Ascorbic Acid Tolerance Blood and Urine Test: Sample required: Blood and urine
Process of obtaining blood sample in adults: A band is wrapped around the arm, 3-4 inches above the collection site (superficial vein that lies within the elbow pit)
The site is cleaned with 70% alcohol in an outward spiral, away from the zone of needle insertion
The needle cap is removed and is held in line with the vein, pulling the skin tight
With a small and quick thrust, the vein is penetrated using the needle
The required amount of blood sample is collected by pulling the plunger of the syringe out slowly
The wrap band is removed, gauze is placed on the collection site, and the needle is removed
The blood is immediately transferred into the blood container, which has the appropriate preservative/clot activator/anti-coagulant
The syringe and the needle are disposed into the appropriate “sharp container” for safe and hygienic disposal

Retinal can further be converted to retinoic acid (RA), a hormone. RA affects nearly all cells in the body, regulating their production of proteins needed for growth and differentiation into other cells
Retinoic acid is especially important to the growth of epithelial cells such as those in the skin and mucous membranes
The various forms of vitamin A, including retinol, are fat-soluble. This means that they are not excreted through urine like other vitamins, such as vitamins C and vitamin B complex, but are instead stored in the liver
The liver releases vitamin A bound to carrier proteins. These include prealbumin, also called transthyretin, and retinol-binding protein
Vitamin A is stored in the body and hence, it is easier to exceed healthy levels. Often times, this occurs due to supplementation with fish oil and other products. It can result in nausea and fatigue
The Retinol Levels Blood Test determines the level of retinol in blood. It is used to diagnose retinol toxicity and deficiency
What are the Clinical Indications for performing the Retinol Levels Blood Test? Following are the clinical indications for performing the Retinol Levels Blood Test: Night blindness
Rough, dry skin
Raised bumps on the back of the arms
Dry eyes
Stunted growth and development
Headache
Fatigue

Content: It often affects the skin tissues and does not cause harm to the other major organs
There are two types of Localized Scleroderma, namely Morphea and Localized Linear Scleroderma
Systemic Scleroderma: It affects the skin, tissue beneath the skin, major organs, and blood vessels
Systemic Scleroderma also has 2 different types, namely Limited Systemic Scleroderma and Diffuse Systemic Scleroderma
Limited Systemic Scleroderma is a type of Systemic Scleroderma of unknown cause. Commonly, the organs involved include the food pipe (esophagus), stomach, small intestines, large intestines, heart, muscles, joints, and kidneys. However, it may take years for hardening of the tissue to occur, which in turn, can cause a much slower progression of the signs and symptoms
Typically, Systemic Scleroderma progresses fast, resulting in severe signs and symptoms and even life-threatening complications. But, with Limited Systemic Scleroderma, there is no rapid progression of the condition
Limited Systemic Scleroderma is also called as CREST Syndrome. The term CREST stands for: Calcinosis: Calcium deposits on the skin
Raynaud’s phenomenon: Blood vessel spasms in response to cold temperatures or stress
Esophageal dysfunction: Acid reflux and less motility in the esophagus

Content: Stresses in the body bring about hormonal changes, which affect all body systems. Acute or short-term stress can rapidly affect the cardiovascular system, nervous system, sense organs, and the immune system and prepare them for a fight-or-flight response. However, if a person is repeatedly subjected to stressful situations and chronic stress develops, then it can be detrimental, causing stress symptoms that can result in both physical and mental health concerns. Individuals with heart conditions or other pre-existing health conditions may be severely affected by both short-term and long-term stress. The negative health effects of bad stress may include: Hypertension or high blood pressure, especially observed in men
Atherosclerosis, a condition in which plaque deposits form on arterial walls, choking the arteries
Increased risk of heart attacks and strokes due to hypertension and atherosclerosis
Individuals affected by abnormal heart rhythms are higher prone to severe arrhythmias
Neurological and behavioral changes, which include anger, irritability, anxiety, and depression, that may lead to substance abuse
Weight gain and obesity due to an increased appetite, leading to increased food intake and decreased physical activities and sleep. Individuals are also at a higher risk for eating disorders
Weakening of the immune system due to reduced white blood cells, making an individual vulnerable to infections such as the flu or common cold
Stress-related gastrointestinal disorders, causing conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, peptic ulcers, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis, with symptoms that include diarrhea, abdominal cramping, constipation, burning sensation, etc. Increased severity of diabetes
Insomnia and sleep disturbances
Sexual function: In men - decreased sexual drive, erectile dysfunction, and reduced sperm count. In women - decreased sexual drive, severe pain during PMS, changes in the menstrual cycle, and mood changes
Lack of concentration, learning difficulties, impaired memory, and depression
Despite the above, there are simple, effective, and healthy measures available that may be used and practiced to help prevent too much adverse impact of stress on our daily life. | https://www.dovemed.com/healthy-living/wellness-center/what-are-negative-health-effects-stress/ |

Conclusions
Content: 1 However, infrastructure investment will only spur economic growth if it is allocated to high-value projects and constructed in a cost-effective manner. Federal investments have a poor record in this regard. Decades of experience show that federal involvement in infrastructure often leads to waste and inefficiency. Funds are misallocated and projects get bogged down in mismanagement and cost overruns. These sorts of problems have plagued federal infrastructure since the 19th century. This study discusses the problems of federal spending on infrastructure. It argues that the states and private sector are more likely to make sound investments without federal aid and regulations distorting their decisionmaking. The study also examines the global trend toward privatization. Many countries have partly or fully privatized highways, airports, air traffic control, seaports, and other infrastructure over the past three decades. Federal policymakers should study the reforms abroad and work to reduce barriers to private infrastructure investment in the United States. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/infrastructure-investment |

Conclusions
Content: 6 Federal Reserve economists examining IRI data found that “since the mid-1990s, our nation’s interstate highways have become indisputably smoother and less deteriorated,” and they concluded that the interstate system is “in good shape relative to its past condition.” 7
Problems with Federal Infrastructure Spending
There are frequent calls for increased federal spending on infrastructure, but advocates ignore the inefficiencies and failures of past federal efforts. Here are some of the problems: Investment is Misallocated. Federal aid for infrastructure is mainly based on formulas and political factors, not on marketplace demands. Thus, highway aid does not favor the fastest-growing states that need it the most. Airport aid favors smaller airports, not the largest airports that have the most passengers. And Amtrak investment is spread around to low-population areas where passenger rail makes little economic sense. Every lawmaker wants an Amtrak route in their state, so investment gets directed away from where it is really needed, such as the Northeast corridor. Infrastructure is Utilized Inefficiently. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/infrastructure-investment |

Every lawmaker wants an Amtrak route in their state, so investment gets directed away from where it is really needed, such as the Northeast corridor. Infrastructure is Utilized Inefficiently. Government infrastructure is often utilized inefficiently because supply and demand are not balanced by market prices. The vast water infrastructure operated by the Bureau of Reclamation, for example, underprices irrigation water in the western states. The result is wasted resources, harm to the environment, and a looming water crisis in many areas in the West. 8
Investment is Mismanaged. Federal agencies have little incentive to ensure that infrastructure projects are constructed and operated efficiently. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/infrastructure-investment |

Conclusions
Content: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) within the Department of Transportation will spend $43 billion in 2017, mainly on aid to state and local governments. 1 FHWA activities are funded by a combination of federal fuel taxes and general federal revenues. Congress implements highway policy through multiyear authorization bills. The last such bill was passed in 2015 as the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act. The act authorized spending of $305 billion over five years, of which $226 billion was for highways and the rest was for urban transit and other activities. 2
With the Trump administration now in office, highway policies might be changed before the current highway bill runs its five-year course. The administration's 2018 budget proposes new directions for transportation policy, including cutting regulations to speed the completion of projects and attracting more private financing for infrastructure investments. 3
This study reviews the history of federal involvement in highways, describes the inefficiencies of federal aid and regulations, and discusses possible reforms to highway policies. Americans would be better off if federal highway spending, fuel taxes, and related regulations were cut. The states can tackle their own transportation needs without federal intervention. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/federal-highway-policies |

Conclusions
Content: Congress passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 to complete a 41,250-mile highway system by 1969. The law authorized $25 billion to finance 90 percent of the cost, with grants disbursed to the states from a new Highway Trust Fund. People often assume that America would not have an extensive interstate highway system without the 1956 law. But, even before 1956, a state highway boom was underway based partly on toll funding. The Congressional Research Service notes, "During the late 1940s and early 1950s, the prospect of toll revenues allowed states to build thousands of miles of limited-access highways without federal aid and much sooner than would have been the case with traditional funding." 14 Unfortunately, the 1956 law banned states from tolling highways that received federal funding, and since that time federal aid has played a major role in highway development. The federal powers under the 1956 law were supposed to expire in 1972, but the sun never set on federal highway spending. The highway program has been repeatedly renewed and the length of the interstate highway system increased. 15 Interstate construction was formally completed in the 1990s, but today federal spending has broadened to cover the one million mile "federal-aid highway system," as well as urban transit and other nonhighway activities. 16
Fuel Taxes and the User Pays Approach
State governments became the dominant players in highways during the 20th century, and they initially retained the user pays approach that was central to 19th century private toll roads. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/federal-highway-policies |

Conclusions
Content: Instead, revenues from federal fuel taxes flowed into the government's general fund. That changed with the 1956 highway law, which directed a federal gasoline tax of 3 cents per gallon into a new Highway Trust Fund (HTF) for constructing the interstate system. The idea was to make the users of the interstate system pay for it. However, the user pays approach in federal fuel taxes began to break down in the 1980s. The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 redirected some fuel taxes away from highways and toward urban transit. Today, 2.86 cents of the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax is redirected to transit. 20 Ironically, in signing the 1982 bill, President Ronald Reagan said, "Our country's outstanding highway system was built on the user fee principle — that those who benefit from a use should share in its cost." 21
Another development that is undermining the user pays approach is that since 1998 the federal government has pumped tens of billions of dollars of general revenues into the HTF. HTF spending has soared above HTF fuel-tax revenues, and Congress has filled the gap with other revenues. The 2015 highway bill provided $70 billion of general revenues to the HTF over five years. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/federal-highway-policies |

Despite the use of general revenues and the diversion of fuel taxes to transit, the HTF is still mainly based on the user-pays approach. The system has worked, but it is imperfect. One problem is that fuel taxes only roughly relate to the costs imposed on highways by different kinds of vehicles. For example, electric-powered cars impose costs on highways but do not help fund them. Another issue is that taxes on fuel do not closely relate to the varying costs of providing different types of roads — urban highways tend to cost more than rural ones, | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/federal-highway-policies |

Notes:
Content: For the overall system, only about three-quarters of Amtrak's trains are on time, with its long-distance routes having a particularly bad record. 4 Amtrak loses more than a billion dollars a year, with its operations are so inefficient that it even loses money on its food service. 5
Amtrak has an expensive and inflexible workforce. It has 20,000 employees earning an average $105,000 a year in wages and benefits. 6 The company pays a huge amount of overtime, a substantial amount of which appears to be unnecessary and improper. 7 More than a dozen collective bargaining agreements cover 86 percent of the workforce. 8 Unions undermine efficiency by protecting poorly performing workers and pushing for larger staffing levels. They resist innovation and create a bureaucratic workplace. Former Amtrak head David Gunn complained that at Amtrak's maintenance facilities, workers from different unions were not allowed to share work on projects outside their narrowly designated specialties. 9
With late trains and endless losses, Amtrak's management has been subject to much criticism. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/privatizing-amtrak |

However, most of Amtrak's problems are created by Congress, which prevents the company from making rational business decisions.

However, most of Amtrak's problems are created by Congress, which prevents the company from making rational business decisions. In particular, Congress insists on supporting an excessively large nationwide system of passenger rail that does not make economic sense. Nor does it make environmental sense for Amtrak to run routes with low ridership. In his 2004 book, End of the Line, rail expert and former Amtrak spokesman Joseph Vranich argued, "congressional requirements that Amtrak spend money on capital improvements to lightly used routes are outrageous. ... Throughout Amtrak's history, it has devoted too much of its budget to where it is not needed, and not enough to where it is." 13
Amtrak operates 44 routes on 21,000 miles of track in 46 states. Amtrak owns the trains, but freight rail companies own about 95 percent of the track. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/privatizing-amtrak |

Notes:
Content: Other routes may also make sense within a lower-cost privatized system. A privatized Amtrak could close the most uneconomic routes and shift investment and maintenance dollars to the core routes to improve service quality. Reforms abroad show that privatizing passenger rail works. In his book, Vranich counted dozens of nations that had either partly or fully privatized their passenger rail systems. 17 He found that privatized rail systems generally provide better service, increased ridership, and more efficient operations. In Britain, state-owned British Rail was consuming large subsidies and experiencing a declining market share in transportation. In 1994 the government split up the company and privatized the track infrastructure separately from passenger service operating companies. But ending vertical integration has created some problems, and track infrastructure has since been renationalized. However, British passenger services have thrived since privatization. Rail ridership has more than doubled in the past two decades, from 740 million passenger trips to 1.5 billion. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/privatizing-amtrak |

Despite the increase in passengers, the on-time performance of British passenger rail is quite high and surveys find solid levels of customer satisfaction. 19
Rail privatization in Britain brought entrepreneurial innovation to the industry. Vranich noted that "private operators have demonstrated more initiative, imagination, and visionary planning than state-run British Rail did in its prime or Amtrak does today." 20 In a 2013 study, the European Commission found that UK's railways were the "most improved" in Europe since the 1990s. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/privatizing-amtrak |

Japanese rail privatization was also a success. In the 1980s, Japanese National Railways (JNR) was stagnating as a result of bloated labor costs, labor strife, and political manipulation. The government-owned JNR was "conservative, indolent, and fearful of change." 22 The government broke up JNR into six regional and vertically integrated passenger rail companies in 1987, and then it started privatizing them in the 1990s. The JNR companies reformed rigid union rules and slashed workforces by roughly one-third following the reforms. | https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/transportation/privatizing-amtrak |

Content: And No Further Nerve Damage As A Treatment! What Is A Neuroma? A Neuroma is an abnormal swelling, or thickening growth of nerve tissue, which is most often benign and noncancerous. Torn, cut, or otherwise damaged nerves within the body will form a Neuroma (a ball shaped mass of scar tissue) as the nerve tries to regenerate itself. This often causes an irritating and very painful Neuroma. A Neuroma can wreak havoc in the way your body transmits nerve signals through the nervous system and impair nerve function and nerve message transmission. Neuromas should be examined rather than simply ignoring them, as the pain associated with Neuromas often increases over time rather than subsides, especially in area of continuing force upon the body such as the feet. What Are The Symptoms? Painful Neuromas are a condition that is sharply felt as a burning, numbing, or tingling sensation. The most common type of Foot Neuroma is the Morton’s Neuroma, usually felt under the ball of the foot, normally around the base of the third and fourth toes. | https://www.downtownnycfootcare.com/neuromas-of-the-foot/ |

The most common type of Foot Neuroma is the Morton’s Neuroma, usually felt under the ball of the foot, normally around the base of the third and fourth toes. While Neuromas can occur within any region of the body. Neuromas within the foot occur more frequently and can be a very painful foot condition. How Are Neuromas Treated? Unfortunately, the most common treatments being done do not always work, and often either serve to do further nerve damage, or does not alleviate the underlying nerve condition. We offer a new and very successful approach that utilizes therapeutic modalities, that treat the entire inflamed nerve area, as well as the nerve itself, thus closing pain gates, and working in conjunction with both the nervous system, and the body’s immune system; | https://www.downtownnycfootcare.com/neuromas-of-the-foot/ |

What Is The Penalty For Tipping Off Money Laundering? If you are concerned that you may soon be investigated for offences related to money laundering – for example, tipping off money laundering, which includes informing somebody that they are being investigated – or you know of someone else who has these concerns, you’re likely trying to work out what to do next. First of all, it is, of course, vital that you seek out the best legal representation possible to ensure that you are well protected before the investigation proceeds any further. Here’s a little more information you may require to help you understand what you’re up against, and how to fight it in the most effective way. What Is Money Laundering? The Cambridge English Dictionary defines money laundering as “the crime of moving money that has been obtained illegally through banks and other businesses to make it seem as if the money has been obtained legally”. Money Laundering Penalties And The Maximum Penalty For Assisting A Money Launderer
Any money laundering sentence – whether it be passed down to the perpetrator of the crime itself or to any individuals assisting said perpetrator – can consist of up to 14 years’ jail time, depending on the severity of the crime and the circumstances under which it was committed. You can reduce the likelihood of receiving a harsh sentence by informing the police of any suspicious activity that you may know of regarding finances, as failure to report money laundering will be considered aiding and abetting serious criminal activity. If this considerable jail sentence is not passed down, sizeable anti money laundering fines may be put in place alongside a shorter custodial sentence or a community order. | https://www.dpp-businesstax.com/legal-articles/tipping-off-money-laundering/ |

a) the person discloses any matter within subsection (2); | https://www.dpp-businesstax.com/legal-articles/tipping-off-money-laundering/ |

6 Examples of Money Laundering & How You Could Face False Accusations
May 16, 2018
By The Draskovich Law Group, Chtd
What is Money Laundering? Money laundering is a federal crime in which large sums of ‘dirty’ currency earned from illegal activity (such as drug or sex crimes) is ‘cleaned’ and deposited into a legally sanctioned banking institutions. The reasoning behind this is due to the fact that banks must report large or suspicious transactions to the IRS. If convicted of money laundering you could be facing: Up to 20 years in a federal prison
Up to $500,000 in fines
You must seek legal counsel when accused of money laundering. Our Las Vegas criminal defense attorney has the experience in both, federal crimes and white-collar crimes you need to start building a strong defense. Start building your defense today, schedule a case review now! Structuring
Also known as smurfing, structuring is when someone takes the total amount of dirty money and breaks it into smaller, less suspicious amounts. They often purchase money orders or cashier’s checks in order to avoid suspicion from the bank. Although money orders and cashier’s checks are completely legal, depositing a large number of them with or around the same total could look suspicious. | https://www.draskovich.com/blog/2018/may/6-examples-of-money-laundering-how-you-could-fac/ |

Content: If one finger is higher than the other, then it’s likely that you do have a lateral pelvic tilt. Of course, there is the possibility you may not have a lateral pelvic tilt and that you really do have one leg longer than the other (as discussed earlier). Although this is rare, you should keep this in mind when testing yourself. Causes of a Lateral Pelvic Tilt
In this section we’ll discuss some of the causes of a lateral pelvic tilt. Alternatively if you prefer a more visual experience, you can watch the video below. There are a couple of things that can cause a lateral pelvic tilt: Bad Posture Habits
If you hold your body in the same positions for hours each day, every day, for several months or years, your body’s tissues will adapt to this position. Therefore if you constantly hold your body with one hip hiked up, your body may adapt to that position. I’ll discuss some of these unnatural positions later in the post. Sitting Too Much with Incorrect Posture
A lateral pelvic tilt is frequently seen in individuals who practice poor posture when sitting for long periods of time. | https://www.drbodygadget.com/lateral-pelvic-tilt/ |

Awareness and Persistence is Key to Fixing a Posterior Pelvic Tilt
Content: Standing with bad posture
Constantly standing in a posterior pelvic tilt will only reinforce the bad posture. For example, people with a posterior pelvic tilt will often shift their hips forwards when bearing weight in their top half. Take for instance a mother holding a baby. Rather than standing up with a strong lower back, they may let their hips sway forward to compensate for the extra weight. Another example could be where someone leans forward with their belly on a counter-top to support their weight. Swayback and/or Posterior Pelvic Tilt
If you feel you have a posterior pelvic tilt, then it’s almost a certainty that you will fall into the category of having what is known as Swayback. Swayback is a type of posture where the person’s hips/pelvis will be swayed forward over their toes, rather than their hips being perfectly inline and stacked above their ankle. This swaying of the hips forward accompanies a posterior pelvic tilt in order for the body to maintain balance. This is why most people with a posterior pelvic tilt will have Swayback posture. It would be difficult for someone with a posterior pelvic tilt to not sway their hips forward as they will tend to lean backwards. | https://www.drbodygadget.com/posterior-pelvic-tilt/ |

Content: Their research project established that Honokiol reached its maximum cancer-killing effect after 48 hours and that it acted against the cancer cells in several ways: as an inhibitor of angiogenesis [killer of microscopic blood vessels that feed cancer cells], and also as a Targeted Agent that blocked the VEGFR2 receptor on the cancer cell. They also established that Honokiol was far more active in this regard than Magnolol. In late 2003, a research group at the National Yang-Ming University of Medicine in Taiwan announced that Honokiol showed a “protective effect against [brain inflammation]” in lab animal tests. They concluded that Honokiol possessed “anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory” properties on brain tissue. Magnolia Bark (Honokiol) Side effects
Magnolia has been taken safety orally for up to 6 weeks, and as a toothpaste for around 6 months, side effects may include: Tiredness
Headaches
Heartburn
Honokiol Dosage
Recommended dosage: 150-300 mg for a 150lb person
200-400 mg for a 200lb person
300-500 mg for a 250lb person
Considerations
It would be wise to use only Honokiol derived from well-studied, established botanical sources of Magnolia Extract, known for the safety of ALL of the compounds contained in the tree bark beyond Honokiol, (such as the very well-studied Chinese “Magnolia Officinalis” species, or the Japanese “Magnolia Obovata” species). Although Honokiol can be obtained from many other of the 200 or so species of Magnolia, the chemical content of the bark from each species is not identical. It must be regarded as “possible” that some species other than “Officinalis” and “Obovata” might contain compounds unsuitable for human consumption, (until scientifically proven otherwise). | https://www.drchuang.com/honokiol-magnolia-bark-cancer-cure/ |

This is not intended as a commercial endorsement of products — just a safety “heads-up.” The definitive text on the chemical composition of the Magnolia species is “ MAGNOLIA: The Genus Magnolia ,” by Sarker and Maruyama

Content: Creation
of

of

on

underscored
by
the

that
the

that
any

or
county
that

Content: It is estimated that one in every three bites of food we eat exists because of animal and insect pollinators, including 3,500 species of native bees! This means that one-third of our food is created by these industrious little beings. Bees are intelligent creatures with highly developed social cultures. They are not aggressive in nature, but sting when frightened or startled as a mechanism of defense. Honeybees in particular die after engaging their stingers. In light of recent threats such as colony collapse, it is in the best interest of both bees and humans to support their longevity as best we can. Bees are never on the hunt for victims to sting, but nevertheless it does happen when they feel threatened. While bee stings are fairly common, extreme cases of allergic reaction are rare. Of the 60 or so people who die as a result of hornet, wasps, or bee stings each year, the vast majority are adults. After being stung most children and adults experience a case of innocuous, if painful, red bumps that subsides within about 2 hours. | https://www.drgreene.com/qa-articles/treating-bee-stings/ |

How to Make Moonshine Mash

Back in prohibition days, home brewing began in the remote hollows of Appalachia, where the only evidence of activity was the shine of the moonlight on the still. Thus was born moonshining, an activity temperamentally suited to the fiercely independent, proudly self-sufficient mountain folk who could turn a few dollars' worth of corn into a few hundred dollars' worth of corn whiskey, a vital income source during the Great Depression. Nearly a century later, making moonshine is still a rebel's cause. State laws vary, but federal laws are clear: Distilling alcohol without permits is illegal. Unless you want to run into trouble, we advise you not to do this at home unless you have the proper distilled spirit or fuel alcohol permit. How to make moonshine mash
Moonshining is simply a multi-step process of converting grains, fruit, or other starches into alcohol. The process can encompass various grades of precision as well as wide varieties of recipes. Some home brewers prefer high-tech equipment and stick to organic ingredients, while others work with plastic buckets, whatever starches are available, and simple pot stills. | https://www.drinxville.com/how-to-make-moonshine-mash/ |

Some home brewers prefer high-tech equipment and stick to organic ingredients, while others work with plastic buckets, whatever starches are available, and simple pot stills. However you go about it, the first step in making moonshine is making the mash. Mash is a stew of grains, starches, or fruit that have been warmed, enzymatically soaked, and/or otherwise processed to extract the maximum amount of sugar. Yeast is then added to feed on the sugar and convert it to alcohol during the extended fermentation process. The resulting liquid is distilled, often several times, to produce the final, potent, drinkable shine. Technically, traditional moonshine can be made with any kind of grain such as barley, wheat, or rye, but traditional mountain moonshine uses a corn mash. | https://www.drinxville.com/how-to-make-moonshine-mash/ |

Many home brewers believe that the best moonshine mash doesn't use extra sugar but, rather, that it derives its taste entirely from raw ingredients. Adventuresome brewers may want to check out the following recipe: 5 gallons of water
1.5 lbs. of crushed malted barley
8 lbs. of flaked maize
1 package of dry bread yeast
Flaked maize is the name given to corn kernels that have been steamed and rolled to expose the insides, making it easier for the enzymes in the malt to access. It can be found in most feed stores. You can also use cracked corn, as it is cheaper and makes filtering easier, but the starches are locked inside. If you choose to use this type of corn, it may be advisable to do a cereal mash first. This recipe follows the same instructions as above, except the water should be initially heated to about 165 degrees while softening the flaked maize, and stirred constantly until the temperature drops to 150 degrees. | https://www.drinxville.com/how-to-make-moonshine-mash/ |

All a good mash really needs is something that contains sugar for the yeast to feast on, whether that sugar is raw or tied up in starches. Moonshiners traditionally used corn because it was cheap, it could be stored for a long time, and it was widely available. Fruits are high in sugar so they are a great alternative, especially during high season when they're abundant and inexpensive. | https://www.drinxville.com/how-to-make-moonshine-mash/ |

Moonshiners traditionally used corn because it was cheap, it could be stored for a long time, and it was widely available. Fruits are high in sugar so they are a great alternative, especially during high season when they're abundant and inexpensive. To make moonshine mash with fruit, a brewer first cuts, crushes, or presses the fruit to extract the sugary juices, to which yeast is added for fermentation. Because there is plenty of sugar available in the fruit juice, the mash doesn't need malted barley or amylase enzyme to break down starches. In fact, brewers of fruit mash may want to invest in a brewing hydrometer to make sure the sugar content of the mash doesn't soar so high as to inhibit fermentation. Once the mash is fermented into a raw fruit wine, it is strained, filtered, and distilled as usual into moonshine. Apple pie moonshine mash recipe

The Take-Away
Content: A female psychopath does this as part of the “con. ”While a woman with borderline personality disorder may rage at the slightest hint of disloyalty or withdrawal out of a fear of abandonment, a female psychopath may rage to deflect the truth, hide her true intent, or to control her partner’s actions. A failure to recognize the predatory motives behind problem behavior is a failure to recognize the danger at hand. Psychopathy with a Feminine Touch
Of course, sex role expectations don’t just influence how our behavior is interpreted; it also shapes the behavior itself. While female and male psychopaths share similar histories and personality traits, they may differ in how these traits are expressed. For example, both male and female psychopaths are sexually coercive in their interpersonal relationships. Unlike the more physically aggressive male psychopath, however, female psychopaths rely on emotional manipulation and use sex as a weapon - to end conflict, to gain psychological power, to poach another’s mate. Female psychopaths, over and above their male counterparts, appear to have a knack for reading emotional cues that allow them to identify areas of emotional vulnerability; depression, insecurity, loneliness. | https://www.drjonijohnston.com/post/understanding-the-female-psychopath |

Psychopathy, in both men and women, is correlated with premeditated aggression and, to a lesser extent, impulsive violence in response to anger or frustration. But what female psychopaths tend to specialize in is their ability to seduce, lull, calm, comfort, provide security and convincingly portray gender stereotypical illusions as long as it’s useful to them.

Female offenders make up 13% of the U.S. prison population; 17% of them are psychopaths. In comparison to males, female psychopaths commit fewer violent crimes and are more likely to be arrested for fraud, property crimes, and drug possession. In comparison to non-psychopathic female inmates, they start their criminal careers earlier, reoffend more often, and commit premeditated crimes motivated by power, dominance or personal gain. Female psychopaths also kill and, when they do, they don’t go far from home. ( | https://www.drjonijohnston.com/post/understanding-the-female-psychopath |

Female psychopaths wreak just as much havoc as their male counterparts, often in the lives of the people who trust them the most. Children are scarred, lovers are used and discarded, friends and acquaintances are conned. However, they tend to fly under the radar far longer than their male counterparts. Until we learn to spot them, there will continue to be victims, including the at-risk girls who, if recognized early, can still choose a different path. 7,764 views 1 comment

Do those with low Cortisol levels do better with drinking salt in the glass, as the result of having low blood pressure?
If a person has a high level of stress and their cortisol production is low, could a rise in nor-epinephrine result in a wired tired symptom?
Why is it that client with low cortisol levels tend to have nightmares? What is the correlation between dreams and cortisol?
Content: The hippocampus is that part of the brain that is involved in memory forming, organizing, and storing. It also deals with the formation of long-term memories and spatial navigation and in diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, the hippocampus is one of the first regions of the brian to become damaged, leading to memory loss and disorientation associated with the condition. Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands in response to stress and it is our primary stress hormone and is responsible for activating the body's "fight or flight" response in stressful situation. Cortisol is believed by some heath experts to be public health enemy number one because scientists have known for years that high cortisol levels can interfere with learning and memory, increase weight gain, heart disease, blood pressure, and cholesterol, increase the risk for mental illness and depression, lower immune function and bone density, and lower life expectancy. The release of cortisol is controlled by the hypothalamus, a part of the brain and long-term exposure to cortisol damages cells in the hippocampus this damage results in impaired learning. Furthermore, cortisol has been shown to inhibit memory retrieval information already stored. For Chronic Pain Sufferers with High Cortisol Levels
According to Dr. Pierre Rainville, PhD in Neuropsychology, Researcher at the Research Centre of the Institut Universitaire de Gériatrie de Montréal (IUGM) and one of the authors of the new study, stress management is a top priority for individuals with a smaller-than-average hippocampus and pain sufferers are encouraged to seek the help from a psychologist and can try relaxation or meditation techniques. Stress Response and Coffee
When an individual experiences stress, there is a regulatory system that controls how the body reacts. This system is referred to as the NeuroEndoMetabolic Stress ResponseSM. After the brain alerts the body to stress, one of the main reactions that occurs is the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands. | https://www.drlamcoaching.com/blog/chronic-pain-high-cortisol-levels/ |

Content: But chronic stressors like family poverty and stress that is intense or prolonged—such as a parent’s mental health problems or a lingering illness —can diminish a child’s ability to cope. These types of stress can even interfere with proper development, including brain development, and aspects of physical health like proper functioning of the immune system (Brown et al., 2009). This is particularly true of children who have experienced the extreme stress of maltreatment, such as abuse or neglect, by parents or caregivers. Some children who experience a lot of stress early in life, even during the prenatal period, are more susceptible to the effects of later stressful life circumstances than other people (Raposa et al., 2014; Shonkoff et al., 2012; Turner & Lloyd, 2003) .

by Drugs.com
When patients say they have a sulfa allergy typically they are allergic to a group of drugs called sulfonamides. Drugs belonging to the sulfonamide class are chemically unrelated to sulfates. You can safely take Albuterol Sulfate. Albuterol Sulfate belongs to a class of drugs called bronchodilators. Bronchodilators make breathing easier by relaxing the muscles in the lungs and widening the airways. They are often used to treat long-term conditions where the airways become intermittently narrow and inflamed, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

There are many drugs that can help RLS. For example, gapapentin and pramipexole - but there are more. You don't need to suffer like this (I know it is an awful feeling). Talk to your doctor and find the one that works for you. I hope you will have a good night's sleep soon. SA

You should report unusual weight gain to your doctor. See https://www.drugs.com/sfx/levothyroxine-side-effects.html

Suzanne's first comment is right on. Weight gain is not a normal side effect of taking levo and too much of it could cause weight loss, the opposite of what you report. Your doc should get involved. | https://www.drugs.com/answers/has-anyone-experienced-major-weight-gain-after-202703.html |

You're more likely than not still HYPOthyroid and may need more levo. Read comments on the second website with extreme caution and recall these are coming from laymen. Some I read are frankly off the wall yet are rated 'helpful' by other uninformed lay persons. I'd rate this site as potentially dangerous and unhelpful unless you have sufficient medical knowledge to allow you to discriminate between useful info and utter nonsense. PT

Hi everyone,
i am 20 years old. i was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor that crushed my pituitary gland at age ten. since then i have been taking levo. i just finished up a diet program and only lost 7 pounds and my dad is saying that its not right i should have lost 20 pounds in a month at my weight and basically accused me of cheating on it which i didn't. so i was looking into it to see which of my 7 medications could cause this. Did my levo cause my lack of weight loss? | https://www.drugs.com/answers/has-anyone-experienced-major-weight-gain-after-202703.html |

Hello,
Actually this is not as uncommon as you would imagine. Sometimes the issue is conversion. You may be converting the T4 to reverse T3 and this Reverse T3 is docking in the T3 receptor sites and disabling them form being activated by actual T3. Ask your doctor to check a RT3 and if its >10%, decrease the T4 and add T3 . you may want to do a 2 week washout period from the levo ( refrain from taking it altogether) to lower your RT3 and T4

No, doxycycline is not a sulfa based drug. It is a tetracycline antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body. Doxycycline is used to treat many different bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, periodontitis (gum disease), and others. Doxycycline is also used to treat blemishes, bumps, and acne-like lesions caused by rosacea.

I am 63 and on 88mcg of Levothyroxine. I am finding it hard to lose weight too, despite exercising and diet. I lost 20 lbs on WW in 2009 b/4 being on the pills, and put on weight only after I started taking thyroid pills. You'd think I would have LOST, not gained, weight. In the past 4 mos. or so I didn't step on the scale until New Year's Day. | https://www.drugs.com/answers/levothyroxine-weight-gain-503607.html |

You are probably on 125 mcg (micrograms) or 1.25 mg (milligrams), not 125 mg (milligrams) per day. The average FULL REPLACEMENT DOSE of levothyroxine sodium is about 1.7 mcg/kg/day (e.g., 100-125 mcg/day (or 1 - 1.25 mg/day) for a 70 kg adult (154 lbs)). | https://www.drugs.com/answers/levothyroxine-weight-gain-524627.html |

Doses greater than 200 mcg/day (or 2 mg/day) are not usually required. So 125 mcg (1.25 mg) per day is in the normal dose range, but only your blood tests will tell whether it is the correct dose for you. It may take time and re-checking of your labs to get the correct blood levels. As for the weight gain ... if you are not eating any more than you did before you started treatment (possible side effect is increased appetite), then - are you retaining fluid?? That is a possibility, or your dose may need to be adjusted. | https://www.drugs.com/answers/levothyroxine-weight-gain-524627.html |

No, there isn't the risk that Neulasta will cause too high WBC count. Usually the counts are non-existant when this is given and it can take a few days to see any count at all. The patient will be monitored on regular basis and Neulasta should be stopped when neutrophil count comes up to a level approved by whatever protocol is being followed. If the white blood cell count is low or zero it can take even up to (or more than a week) before any neutrophils even appear. All the best. https://www.drugs.com/neulasta.html

Yes, there is a danger that Neulasta will cause a WBC that is too high. We have a patient here who is near death because the oncologist injected Neulasta the day after chemo treatment without first checking WBC. | https://www.drugs.com/answers/neulasta-risk-danger-wbc-high-584284.html |

Yes, there is a danger that Neulasta will cause a WBC that is too high. We have a patient here who is near death because the oncologist injected Neulasta the day after chemo treatment without first checking WBC. The patients' WBC was 8.8 prior to chemo. The oncologist injected the patient with Neulasta the day after chemo without first checking WBC. The following day the patient was admitted to the hospital, stating they had difficulties breathing. One day later the patients heart rate jumped to around 140, blood oxygen dropped into the 70's, and the patient was rushed to ICU. Four days later physicians are unsure as to the patients survival. | https://www.drugs.com/answers/neulasta-risk-danger-wbc-high-584284.html |

Levothyroxine is a synthetic thyroid hormone prescribed to treat low thyroid function, also known as hypothyroidism. Low thyroid function slows down the metabolism and this can lead to weight gain. Taking levothyroxine to treat hypothyroidism can help to normalise metabolism which may lead to weight loss. Levothyroxine contains a boxed warning saying that it should not be used for the treatment of obesity or weight loss. Taking levothyroxine for weight loss when not indicated can cause overdose symptoms. | https://www.drugs.com/answers/taking-levothyroxine-loose-weight-thyroid-problem-621875.html |

These symptoms include nervousness, insomnia, emotional swings, sweating, hand tremor, hair loss, sensitivity to warm temperatures (feeling hot all the time), muscle weakness, shortness of breath, heart failure and angina, confusion and disorientation. Periods may stop. Stroke, shock, coma and death have been reported as symptoms of overdosage. The best way to lose weight is to cut back calories and increase activity, especially aerobic activity, to burn stored fat.

It is definitely not right to introduce extra hormones into your body, if you don't need it. Too much of something can cause problems and as thyroid hormones can also affect the production of other hormones... your body could be doing things which are not ideal. | https://www.drugs.com/answers/taking-levothyroxine-loose-weight-thyroid-problem-621875.html |

If you take Synthroid when you don't need it, your body will stop making the thyroid hormones naturally. So you'll in turn make your thyroid under-active. Under-active = fat

Too much thyroid when not needed is very bad for your body. It can cause an increased heart rate which can be hard on the heart. Too much thyroid can cause Nervousness, Insomnia, Emotional swings, Sweating, Hand tremor, Palpitations, Unexplained weight loss (often despite increased appetite), Sensitivity to warm temperatures (feeling hot all the time), Muscle weakness, Shortness of breath. In women, menstrual periods may become less frequent or stop altogether. The increased hormones may cause heart failure or heart-related chest pain called angina. Too much thyroid hormone can cause swelling of tissues around the eyes, which creates a characteristic "staring" or "frightened" appearance. The eyes bulge out and the eyelids appear to be pulled back. | https://www.drugs.com/answers/taking-levothyroxine-loose-weight-thyroid-problem-621875.html |

You want to get osteoporosis at a young age, and have a dowager's hump? Like your old grandmother? Or perhaps you would like to have heart palpitations all day long, that cannot be controlled. I'm not sure if this comes before or after the damage that you do to your heart, so that you will never be able to exercise again, for fear that you might ruin the heart that you have left.

Content: Urinary tract infection symptoms may include: Pain or burning upon urination
A frequent or urgent need to urinate
Passing small amounts of urine
Blood in the urine or or pink-stained urine
Urines that looks cloudy
Strong-smelling urine
Pain, cramping in the pelvis or pubic bone area, especially in women
Upper UTIs which include the kidney (pyelonephritis) may also present with symptoms of fever, chills, back or side (flank) pain, and nausea or vomiting. Older patients may have an atypical presentation that includes altered mental status, lethargy, and weakness. An infection of the tube that empties urine from the bladder to the outside is called urethritis, or an inflammation of the urethra. Urethritis symptoms can include burning with urination and a discharge. Urethritis is often caused by a sexually transmitted infection and may require a different antibiotic than those used to treat UTIs. Causes
Most UTIs in women (roughly 85%) are caused by a bacteria known as Escherichia coli (E. coli). Other types of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus saprophyticus may infrequently be present. UTI symptoms in women and men are similar. However, urinary tract infections occur more frequently in women than in men. | https://www.drugs.com/article/antibiotics-for-uti.html |

Most UTIs in women (roughly 85%) are caused by a bacteria known as Escherichia coli (E. coli). Other types of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus saprophyticus may infrequently be present. UTI symptoms in women and men are similar. However, urinary tract infections occur more frequently in women than in men. This is because a woman’s urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder) is shorter and closer to the anus than in men, allowing easier entry of bacteria like E. coli into the urethra. Menopause, lowered levels of estrogen, and elevated vaginal pH also increase the risk of a UTI. Women are also more likely to get an infection after sexual activity or when using a diaphragm and spermicide for birth control. Other risk factors for the development of UTIs include catheter use, urinary tract structural abnormalities, diabetes, and a suppressed immune system.

Content: Experts have identified several key factors that make some people more likely than others to develop cancer. The most common ones are: High intake of dietary carcinogens: Certain foods, including those that are processed, salted, pickled, smoked, charred from a grill or barbecue, or treated with nitrites have been associated with a higher risk of cancer. Saturated fats from red meat are also associated with several different types of cancer, including cancer of the colon, rectum, and prostate gland. You can reduce your risk by not eating processed or burnt meats and eating more fiber, fruit, and vegetables. Genetic predisposition: Certain types of cancer, such as colon and breast cancer, often run in families, and people can inherit this predisposition towards cancer, although other non-genetic (environmental) factors must be present for cancer to develop
Estrogen exposure in women: Women who are exposed to higher levels of estrogen, either via estrogen-containing medication or naturally through going through menstruation early or menopause late, are at increased risk for some cancers, such as those of the breast, ovaries, or uterus. This risk is reduced in women who have had a baby before the age of 35, who exercise regularly, or who consume a low-fat diet

This risk is reduced in women who have had a baby before the age of 35, who exercise regularly, or who consume a low-fat diet
Exposure to carcinogens: People exposed to certain substances have a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer. There are more than two hundred known carcinogens including alcohol, asbestos, coal tar, diesel exhaust, formaldehyde, tobacco, and UV radiation
Exposure to some infectious organisms: Certain viruses (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and human papillomavirus), bacteria (eg, Helicobacter pylori) and parasites (eg, Schistosoma hematobium) have been associated with a higher risk of cancer
Radiation: Over-exposure to X rays, nuclear radiation, ultraviolet radiation (from sunlight), and even cosmic radiation (aircrew have higher rates of cancer than non-aircrew) can cause DNA injury that may lead to cancer.
