Your bedroom affects your health and well-being more than any other room because you spend so much time in it, and when you sleep you are more open to absorbing repparttar 115681 energy around you.

Place your bed inrepparttar 115682 ‘power’ position. The bed’s position in relation torepparttar 115683 door isrepparttar 115684 most important consideration for creating a good flow of energy in your bedroom.

1.The sleeper should have a clear view ofrepparttar 115685 door from their sleeping position. Onrepparttar 115686 deepest level we need to feel protected from unwanted surprises. If this is not possible, you can restore good Feng Shui by placing a mirror to give you a view ofrepparttar 115687 door.

2.The bed should be as far fromrepparttar 115688 door as possible. Ideally it should be inrepparttar 115689 opposite corner fromrepparttar 115690 door. The farther you sleep fromrepparttar 115691 door andrepparttar 115692 more ofrepparttar 115693 room you can see while in bed,repparttar 115694 more you will feel in control of your environment and your life.

ADHD - Politics, Money, or Science?

As a medicinal chemist I've hadrepparttar opportunity to see a shockingly different side of Ritalin (methylphenidate) and ADHD thanrepparttar 115678 media exposes.

The Experimental Pharmacology Department ofrepparttar 115679 American Cyanamid Company andrepparttar 115680 Merck Index report that Ritalin is no less toxic or safer than amphetamine and methamphetamine. They continue, by stating that upon administration of these drugs, motor activity decreases. Often time's tremors and convulsions occur. Further studies on these amphetamine derivatives show that short-term clinical doses produce brain cell death. Long-lasting and sometimes permanent changes inrepparttar 115681 biochemistry ofrepparttar 115682 brain are also a result. Toxicological studies cited byrepparttar 115683 Merck Index showed that Ritalin was more toxic when administered to grouped mice. Moreover, researchers showed that increased excitement observed by maintaining mice in groups while underrepparttar 115684 influence of Ritalin and other methamphetamines wasrepparttar 115685 cause of death, butrepparttar 115686 exact mechanism of lethality was unknown. Lastly,repparttar 115687 Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classify commonly prescribed drug such as Ritalin, Adderall, and Dexedrine inrepparttar 115688 same Schedule II category as methamphetamine and cocaine. Logic says, end of story regarding Ritalin use. Unfortunately,repparttar 115689 most typical response from parents when confronted with toxicity facts is as follows:

"I'm sure that Ritalin is prescribed improperly in many cases. But, my son definitely has a chemical imbalance. Without Ritalin he is a total mess and it has made his life so much easier! Without it he can't focus, he talks out of turn, he's moody, and he won't listen to anybody. So don't tell me ADHD doesn't exist and that my kid doesn't need Ritalin."

My fist question is what chemical imbalance?

To date, no medical or scientific paper or research group has elucidatedrepparttar 115690 cause of ADHD! With our expensive and all-important college and medical degrees professionals have ostensibly hypothesized a cause (brain chemicals) and advocated a cure (stimulants) for ADHD. To back it up we have listed dozens of symptoms of ADHD while atrepparttar 115691 same time sacrificing a few billion brain cells. How can we administer a toxic stimulant to treat a "disorder" that doesn't exist according to a 100 years of research?

Daily, schoolteachers tell us "yes, Ritalin is a great drug".

School nurses assure us that, "Ritalin would be great for little Johnny!"

And doctors assert, "yes, ADHD is a real disease".

When we trace backrepparttar 115692 history of Ritalin (say 40-60 years) we see that medicinal chemists originally derived this synthetic stimulant from natural stimulants, most notably caffeine (isolated from guarana) and ephedrine (isolated from Ma Haung). Scientists found that when given stimulants, rats were more focused, calm, attentive and manageable when large groups were crowded into small cages.

Ma Huang and caffeine however, are not good stimulants due to their very short half-lives and inability to "patent". To remedy this, scientists experimented, and still are, with longer lasting synthetic stimulants. To date, a conglomeration of long lasting synthetic stimulants like Ritalin (methylphenidate), Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine), Desoxyn (methamphetamine), and Adderal (a mixture of Ritalin, Dexedrine, and amphetamine) have been encapsulated and administered to millions of children. Perhaps one day they will simply infuse a Ritalin gas into classrooms.
