Horst Maier-Thorn grabó el debut de Bonfire, Don't Touch The Light (1986), y Fireworks (1987).
"Estamos muy tristes de anunciar que nuestro amigo y músico de Bonfire Horst Maier-Thorn murió el pasado fin de semana. Descansa en paz Horst"
We are really sad to announce that our long time fellow und Bonfire Musician Horst Maier-Thorn died last weekend. Rest in peace Horst.
"... Horst fue un gran músico, colega y amigo que tuvo que renunciar a Bonfire demasiado pronto, debido a su enfermedad reumática... Desafortunadamente, la enfermedad ahora dió lugar a su prematura muerte... en recuerdo de Horst Maier-Thorn... Hans, Frank, Ronnie, alexx, Tim."
BONFIRE, detalles de su nuevo disco "Byte The Bullet"

BONFIRE: detalles de su nuevo disco "Temple Of Lies"
Bonfire lanzará su nuevo álbum, "Temple Of Lies", el 13 de abril a través de AFM Records. "Temple Of Lies" fue producido por Hans Ziller en los estudios "Flatliners Recording" en Ingolstadt.
Bonfire to release new album "Temple Of Lies" on April 13th!
It's not only the occasionally tougher pace that impresses on Temple Of Lies (produced by Hans Ziller at the Flatliners Recording Studios in Ingolstadt) from the first to the very last note, but also the album's diverse high-quality songwriting in general. Driving midtempo tracks ('Feed The Fire', 'On The Wings Of An Angel', 'Fly Away', 'Crazy Over You') support the afore-mentioned uptempo rock numbers and are expertly broken up by the ballad 'Comin` Home' and 'I Help You Hate Me', which surprises with a reggae groove verse. Temple Of Lies kicks off with the intro 'In The Beginning', featuring American voice actor David Michael Williamson (Lord of the Rings). So the fun factor is back in the Bonfire camp, manifesting itself also in the 20-minute bonus track 'Friedensreich II. – The Return Of The Zünsler Into The T.O.L.', a humorous sound collage which frequently brings to mind Frank Zappa. The programmatic album title and expressive cover artwork prove that Ziller & Co also live up to their responsibility as socially aware musicians, taking to task "the lies of our world and politicians". No doubt about it: Temple Of Lies sees Bonfire live up not only to their own history.
BONFIRE: nuevo tema "Crazy Over You"
Bonfire lanzará un nuevo disco de versiones titulado "Legends", el 19 de octubre de 2018.
BONFIRE: nuevo tema "Eye Of The Tiger"

Official announcement: after 3 years and 4 albums Bonfire and Tim Breideband will be parting ways and Tim will be pursuing new opportunities. Tim is an excellent drummer and was a great addition to Bonfire. We are sure he will be great in his future endeavors and we wish him the very best.

CA Likely Shielded From New HHS Regulations–But Not From Trump Threats to Defund $700M in Cost-Sharing Subsidies
By Health Access	April 16, 2017
Consumer advocates decried new regulations finalized Thursday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services which would seek to increase premiums, deductibles, and cost-sharing for those enrolled in health insurance marketplaces like Covered California across the country. However, due to existing state law, many of the regulations is likely not to impact Californians, including:
* Shortening the open enrollment period for people to sign up for coverage by half;
* Putting in place more burdensome verification requirements for those signing up between open enrollment periods;
* Allowing the sale of skimpier plans that increase consumers' out-of-pocket costs like deductibles;
* Weakening standards to ensure the value of coverage, and that a health plan includes an adequate network of providers.
While the impact of these proposals would be blunted in California because of existing state law and Covered California's authority, we patient advocates worry about subsequent efforts to further sabotage the state's health system–specifically President Trump's threat to defund cost-sharing subsidies, worth over $700 million just to Californians.
President Trump railed against rising health care costs and high deductibles during his campaign, and yet his first health regulations are to attempt to increase those costs for consumers. No one voted for coverage that costs more and covers less–but that's what these Trump regulations seek to do, as does his continued Congressional attempts to repeal and roll back health coverage. Even as other Trump threats loom, Californians thankfully have existing state patient protections against many of the negative impacts of this package of regulations. Existing state law or Covered California's authority means we won't need to shorten the open enrollment period or weaken our minimum standards with regard to the value of coverage or the need for an adequate network of providers, as proposed in these new federal rules.
While these particular regulations are likely not to trump our existing state consumer protections, President Trump has threatened to defund subsidies that would hit California hard, by over $700 million dollars, and spiking premiums for the millions in our individual insurance market by around 20%. The House GOP has a lawsuit that holds thousands of their own constituents hostage–over 600,000 Californian get these cost-sharing subsidies, which helps them keep coverage and get the care they need. President Trump needs to stop holding our health system hostage, and keep his promise to secure our insurance coverage rather than sabotage it.

BlueAnt has just introduced its latest device known as the S4, where this is touted to be the first true hands-free voice controlled Bluetooth car speakerphone. What does this mean for the driver? Well, for the first time, drivers are able to communicate on the road without having to touch either their phone or car speakerphone – now how about that? All you need to do is speak to the BlueAnt S4 if you want to make or receive calls, or even access information on the phone itself. Before starting, clear your throat and say the hands-free trigger phrase "BlueAnt Speak To Me" at any time, and watch the S4 more than ready and willing to serve you at every beck and call. Following that, say the command to activate your phone's voice dialing feature, and you can make a call by mentioning the person's name. Works great if you are familiar with your very own naming convention on the phone, but we're not too sure how many of us out there are able to remember every single name keyed in. What happens when there are multiple same names but different people? Apart from that, whenever there is an incoming call, the S4 will read out the caller's name and ask you whether to proceed with answering the call or not. Text to speech (TTS) technology is utilized and will b able to transfer and store up to 2,000 phonebook entries from each paired mobile phone.
In an effort to reduce distracted driving, BlueAnt and Vlingo have teamed up in order to offer drivers a safer, easier way to consume SMS messages and email by including the SafeReader application on the S4 which will play nice with both BlackBerry smartphones and Android 2.0+ devices. The latter currently comprises of just a handful of phones, so early Android devices that are stuck at Android 1.6 might want to reconsider getting the S4. You will need to press a button this time round though, as doing so followed by saying "Start SafeReader", the feature will be activated so all incoming messages will be delivered audibly through the S4.
Not only that, the BlueAnt S4 also doubles up as a hands-free gateway to the world, where you can access stock quotes, movie times, weather, sports, news and traffic updates simply by saying the appropriate words. Sounds pretty cool, eh? The S4 also boasts of being the first BlueAnt car speakerphone that can offer firmware upgrades down the road, where you can be sure that new features will be thrown in (while fixing old bugs) to further enhance the customer experience. Expect the BlueAnt S4 to retail for $99.99 a pop – now how about that?
Sorry to hear, maybe you might want to give the S4 a chance?
Jonathan – why didn't you return it when you first tried it.
I find that the S4 that I have has difficulty with voice recognition. Many times I have tried to activate the calling feature but the S4 would not respond. No problem with incoming calls.

Type in Air Jordan Sneakers in your favourite search engine and your search outcomes will even go beyond the search of the Jordan, the country. That is how much Jordan Brand has turn into so intertwined with popular culture. The Air Jordan places itself into the ranks of greatest sneakers ever made. To prove its recognition, Air Jordan sneakers were in fact voted as the champion in the ESPN sneaker challenger and the Air Jordan XI was the plain winner of the tournament.
Jordan Model sneakers differ in all types of types, shapes, and colours and have been made famous by Michael Jordan, the American Basketball player who additionally catapulted Nike into the world's strongest sneaker brand. One thing that set the Air Jordan shoes apart from the rest is the progressive technology used when it comes to design and technology compared to all sneakers on the time of their launch. This uniqueness is what makes Nike the favourite amongst its competitors- fashionable design with equally high technology and passion put into them. Nike's are the Ferrari's of the shoe industry.
Since their first ever release, the value tag on the Jordan's have significantly increased. In 1985 when the primary Air Jordan sneakers hit stores nationwide within the US, they were only $65 and gradually climbed to $a hundred and eighty for the latest Air Jordan sneakers. Up to now, the most expensive Air Jordan sneakers had been the Air Jordan 17s that retailed at $200 at launching! Then again, value will not be a difficulty once you get to own a pair of the worlds most sought after model of sneakers.
The legacy of Jordan Model could be very well-liked, which makes it virtually unattainable for any individual residing within the final 20 years to be unfamiliar with any of their sneakers. Out of all of the shoe manufacturers out there, it is evident that this one is much superior to all others. These sneakers have been and can all the time be interesting to its massive fan base worldwide with thousands and thousands of sites dedicated to this shoe. Air Jordan sneakers have turn into necessary to have by all types of African Americans, Caucasians, Puerto Ricans, Asians, and more. Regardless of the tradition, race, or background, Air Jordan sneakers have positively marked its territory within the fashion industry. The only thing that may cease fans on the market from purchasing each design of Air Jordan's is the price. Nike Air Jordan's are of great demand to collectors around the complete globe because just about each main country has its Jordan sneaker fanatics. Often what is on the mind of shoe collectors is, "when is the next pair of New Air Jordan's going to be released and the place?"

The outer frame is 70×25 mm. 38×8/10 mm slats, are in Beech plywood covered with a special resin which considerably increases the duration of the voltage. The Red slats positioned in the shoulder region are structured to facilitate the absorption of the projection of the shoulder.
The joints where the slats lodge provide high elasticity and durability. Solid wood feet, are fixed in special nylon plates with swing team and rounded corners that avoid the annoying contact with the edges.


One of the topics that I haven't yet addressed when it comes to a PCOS diet is the issue of Gluten. I firmly believe that we need to be gluten free and all of the meal plans and recipes that I prepare for my monthly members are free from gluten (and still taste amazing). We haven't actually looked at why combining PCOS and gluten is not a good idea.
Recent research has shown that at least 1 in 3 Americans are predisposed to gluten intolerance (1). That is a significant percentage of the population!
Digestive issues including bloating, constipation and diarrhea.
Mood disorders like depression, anxiety or PMS.
Diagnosis of an autoimmune disease like Hashimotos thyroiditis (common in women with PCOS).
Fatigue, fogginess or exhaustion after eating a meal that contains gluten.
A lot of naturopaths also report that the women they treat who have PCOS commonly have a gluten intolerance as well.
Hormone disruptors are chemicals that interfere with the functioning of the endocrine or hormone system. They could be mimic hormones, causing our bodies to over or under respond or release hormones at the wrong time (3).
In the case of gluten, wheat crops are sprayed with pesticides that act as xenoestrogens. These substances mimic the role of estrogen in our bodies and makes us even more estrogen dominant (4).
With PCOS, our hormones are so out of whack already, I don't want to add anything else to my system that is going to cause further imbalance.
100g of hard red winter wheat has 71.18g of carbohydrates and only 12.61 g of protein (5). This is unprocessed wheat. That is a significant portion of this food that is a carbohydrate. This gives wheat a fairly high glycemic index. A wheat based meal such as pasta also has tends to have a high glycemic load. Remember that if your insulin levels rise significantly, there will be a knock on effect on your testosterone levels.
Gluten sensitivity causes chronic inflammation throughout the body, leading to increased risk of heart disease (6). The other problem is that women with PCOS suffer from chronic inflammation (7) already so eating gluten will only exacerbate the problem.
There's one other link in the chain we need to understand: chronic inflammation leads to insulin resistance. If we have insulin resistance, we need higher than normal amounts of insulin to regulate our blood sugars. High insulin levels are also going to cause high testosterone levels which will make our PCOS symptoms much worse.
What about Gluten Free Alternatives?
There are a huge amount of gluten free alternatives on the market. You can find gluten free pasta, cereals, biscuits, breads, sauces, etc. My only suggestion when considering these products is that you also look at the Glycemic Load. Many are made from refined flours such as rice flour which will have a high glycemic load as well.
So, what do I eat then?
Wrapping your head around a gluten free lifestyle can be challenging but is so worth the health benefits! There are so many delicious foods with a huge variety that are gluten free and will really help to manage your symptoms.
Gluten intolerance causes chronic inflammation and could be contributing to your insulin resistance.
Why not give it a go for a month and see how you feel? I'm convinced that you'll feel less bloated, have more energy, lose some weight and start to see an improvement in your PCOS symptoms!
Have you given up gluten and seen an improvement in your PCOS symptoms? I'd LOVE to hear from you, if you have. Leave me a comment below!
Should Red Wine be a part of your PCOS Diet?
My question is, can you ever start eating gluten again if pcos symptoms seem better? There's a lot of food I love that has gluten in it. I love to travel and trying food is my favorite part about that.
What are the limitations of eating gluten free foods like gluten free flour, breads, oatmeal, etc? It seems as if they have an even higher GL than non-gluten free foods, so should I not eat those either? It sounds like the only things I can eat are some fruits, vegetables, protein, and gluten-free grains. It's really frustrating because I thought eating "gluten free" flours, breads, etc. would be fine but I guess not!
Hi all! I just need to write this down. I've been struggling with pcos and stress relatera (I think stress aggrevated my mild pcos) with symptoms of hair loss changed skin texture and acne, increased perspiration mood swings and anxiety. I'm not overweight or insulin insensitive, I think my pcos may be of adrenal type. The last couple of weeks I excluded all dairy and gluten, refined sugar and coffee from my diet. I added two vips of spearmint tea and two cups of green tea a day. I run a couple of times a week in moderate pace for 30 minutes. I feel so much better!!! My facial and body hair is already getting thinner and grows much slower. I don't perspirate as much and it smella more like normal me (less). My skin is clearer and my pores smaller (don't believe people that say they can't shrink.) I don't know what exactly made the biggest difference but I willl continue like this for a couple of months at least. Things can change. Lots of move, hope and strength for all of you who struggles of the physical changes that pcos can bring. Be nice to yourselves.
Hi there! I have PCOS and was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I am on what I think is the highest dose of metformin. I gave up gluten a few weeks ago. I felt much better that first week (less bloated, more energy). I don't consume much dairy and when I do, it's raw farmer's milk(0-1 cup a day). Lately, i've been having tummy issues and emergency runs to the bathroom. My question is, could this be from my metformin? I haven't had my insulin levels checked since I went off gluten. Thank you!
I have been grain free for a few years, dairy free for a year. I have known I have know I had PCOS for 25 years. I have 2 children, the first with help. The second without just adherence to principles of good eating etc'. Diagnosed at age 31. These changes in my diet didn't seem to make a huge difference to me, I had regular menses anyway even though a 32-36 day cycle.I wanted to reduce my overall exposure to chemicals & toxins of all kinds. Maybe I would have more issues than I don now if I hadn't made this changes. I am almost OCD about taking care with what I eat. Taking in to account Glycaemic index & Glycaemic load too. Also I try not to indulge my love of 'grazing'. Throughout the day.
If I don't stick to these rigours & my OCD ways I gain weight very very quickly. As it is I manage to stay in the 8kg range overweight. PCOS is certainly a challenge!!
Hi. I was diagnosed with pcos when I was 19. I'm now 28. Ive been on metformin since the diagnosis. I have had 8 miscarriages (no live births) since age 21. I get pregnant very easily (metformin) but I lose them all before 8 weeks. Docs can't find a single thing wrong except for the face I have pcos. They said to lose weight and keep trying and trying. I just went gluten free about 4 weeks ago and i workout 2/3 times a day and lost 9 lbs. I'm so desperate for a baby. I want to be a mommy more than anything. I hope this gluten free plan works!!!
I'm so sorry for all of your losses, Ashley!
ASHLEY- I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSES- HAVE YOU HAD YOUR PROGESTERONE LEVELS TESTED ONCE YOU FIND OUT YOU'RE PREGNANT? IVE HAD 2 LOSSES AND MY PROGESTERONE IS ALWAYS SEVERLY LOW, WHICH CAN CAUSE EARLY LOSSES LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE HAD.
I miscarried as well I had to be put on progesterone as soon as i found out i was pregnant after the progesterone i was able to carry my son.
I know this is old but to reiterate what Therese said, get on progesterone the day you find out your pregnant. Have a prescription filled and ready to go. I suffered 3mcs before realizing that's what I needed. Made the suggestion to my doctor, and carried my now 1yo daughter full term. We were also on 50mg of Clomid. I hope this helps someone.
Have you tried asking your dr about being on a progesterone for the first 12 weeks to help maintain your pregnancy?
Hello Ashley, I have had a friend who had similar problem and at a last ditch attempt she took Serrapeptase & she is pregnant & her body hasn't rejected her baby! i have no idea if this will help or not – but maybe you could do some reserach into it. Enteric coating is imperative to allow it to pass through the stomach before dissolving for the best absorption, and you have to have it on an empty stomach.
I would love to know if there is any research on how it is connected with PCOS.
I gave up Gluten (and dairy too) about 3-4 weeks ago after first joining the PCOS starter kit and have since lost 9.5lbs and have a significantly less bloated stomach for the first time in FOREVER. I also have less cravings, am more satiated and am feeling so much better!
Allison, I do not know you but I am extremely happy that you had such great results. I have recently started the PCOS kit and I hope to achieve much. I know it can be hard when dieting especially avoiding gluten. I will love to communicate with you and share results.Support is great.
I have been gluten free for six months now, and this month i had my First 28-day cycle EVER! I have been glutend twice, by accident and i seriously became suicidle, out of absolutely nowhere. to me that was worse than the physicle problematiek i also got. Good chance i'm intolerant. Not going for a test though, since you Have to go back to gluten before you can get tested. I have three weeks of joy and clarity like never before. Around Time of ovulation i have a very very bad week. Need loads of Sleep. But i am Happy with what i have achieved so far. This would not Have happened if i was still eating gluten.
Well, I got a PCOS diagnoses when I was 19 after getting the Depo shot and going up 130 pounds (a whopping 280). My periods stopped completely, and I was diagnosed by my doctor for every single symptom, but had to fight him with a whopping pile of literature and information before convincing him to do an ultrasound. I took metformin but back in the 90's there wasn't much hype about gluten free and dairy was a "healthy diet staple".
I got married and went on the low carb diet because I was working out hours a day and couldn't get below 200 lbs, even eating less than 1200 calories a day.
I was told I could "NEVER HAVE CHILDREN" and I dropped to 190 lbs on low carb which was awesome! At 24, suddenly my abdomen did a huge gushing horrible turn and it was the baby I didn't know I was having! Suddenly I had a preggo belly and went straight to the Doctor worried I had some horrible tumor! I was over the moon when I found out I was 7 months pregnant! I had two children 13 months apart eating that way!
Fastforward 10 years, I got down to 160 after my divorce and lived a very strict diet and exercise lifestyle. I was eating Paleo, running an hour minimum every day, going to school full time, and seeing a personal trainer for core strength training.
This year, I started teaching, have gotten recently engaged, and my life has gotten a little chaotic. In 3 months, I gained 30 lbs, my IBS problems are back, and I am tired all the time. Luckily, my periods come every 28 days, but they are not like they used to be (sore breasts, bleeding heavily, lots of mucous tmi). I am trying to make time to work out and slow down my life a little bit, but I have to say the last few days I stopped eating dairy and I had a guest who is gluten free so that's what I have been cooking.
I have been trying to get pregnant with another child with my fiancee for 7 months, and have had no success. I have a strong suspicion that my diet is the culprit. Eating no dairy and gluten free the last week my IBS symptoms are so much better. I feel less exhausted, and my mood is improved. I am also supplementing inositol, vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B.
Jen, this sounds like exactly what happened to me/currently happening. I had a terrible doctor that misdiagnosed me an then gave the Depo shot. I gained a good 75 lbs and finally went to a different doctor who took the time to correctly diagnose me. I have several symptoms of PCOS and am trying to figure out what works to reduce my symptoms. My biggest fear is not being able to have children. I hope to lose weight which will increase my chances.
I've been diagnosed with PCOS recently and have cut gluten and dairy from my diet… I've been following these changes for 3 weeks and feel better. My symptoms such as acne have calmed a little and I've lost weight. Although I am a 'thin cyster', and my dcotor advised me not to lose anymore weight, my symptoms are certainly more under control since losing another 6/7 pounds.
It's still early days but, so far so good.
Can anyone advise how long it takes to see real results from diet change? I've never overhauled my lifestyle quite this drastically since losing 4 stone with slimming world but I didn't know I had PCOS then!
Hi! It took me at least a month and a half to see any change, and at least 3 months to see drastic changes. I think it's different for everyone, but the fact that you've already seen some changes is amazing, and all the more reason to keep going!
Hi all, I have had PCOS for over 10 years. First baby was a struggle but because I was young I was finally able to conceive after 5 years where I tried a gluten free diet and fell pregnant within 5 months of this diet.
My second pregnancy I was told it was highly unlikely to conceive as I had 21 cysts, I was quite thin for my height and no major PCOS issues. So I went back to gluten free and hit the gym doing only weights to tone up. Within 3 months I had no PCOS issues at all and fell pregnant. It's known that the best exercise is walking and weights and with a clean eating diet incorporated you can beat this condition.
Hi everyone. I seem to be having the opposite problem to everyone here. I have PCOS and was a little irregular (usually 4-5 and sometimes 6 weeks) but then I have been trying to conceive since the start of this year and I become regular as clockwork bang on 4 weeks. I have found out I have an intolerance for gluten and so have stopped it. I am now 4.5 weeks and counting – I need my cycles to be regular as I'm trying to get pregnant and I don't know what to do. Going gluten free seems to have messed up my cycle. Has anyone at all had this problem? I'm getting very worried that going gluten free is now going to ruin my chances of getting pregnant (although I wasn't having much success anyway) 🙁 Any advice from anyone would be great.
Girls, it's been a while. It works exactly the same for me! Did you find an answer?
I was just wondering whether oats were considered gluten free or not. I've found some controversial info when trying to google search this!
Oats themselves are gluten free, but are one of the most likely source of cross contamination due to being processed on the same equipment as wheat flour.
Hello my name is Jovita I had pcos since I was 22 years old. Before I was on the pill, it looked like it was going fine, got my period every month. Than the beginning of last year I had a rash that would not go away. I decide to see a new doctor for pcos and he adviced me to stop eating bread. The rash did go down, he also put me on Folliculinum for pcos. But after I stop eat bread it went down a bit, so I decide to stop all gluten and guess what in a few days time it was gone. I do not eat any gluten now and I follow a pcos diet. I am getting my periods on my own and I had an ultrasound which showed no signs of pcos and a hormone blood test which was normal.
Great info, but I would point out that soups are NOT gluten free- I'm talking about the canned kind. You may be able to make home made soups, but usually soup has some type of thickener which generally contain gluten.
My mom has celiac disease, so I am very interested in the relationship between PCOS & gluten sensitivity/celiac disease. There are so many foods out there nowadays that are gluten free, so it's getting easier to have a wider variety of things to eat. Thanks again!
Hello. I just want to say that they do make gluten free soups in cans. I have one product called Live G free. They do soups and sweets. Im not sure what other foods they make. But I have to say they taste great. I buy mine from Aldi's.
Lots of Covent Garden soups are gluten free as well.
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15. I struggled with my weight for five years and never knew why, as I ate extremely healthy by normal standards. I eventually found marginal success in low carb diets, though. I developed an obsession with the restriction of carbs and the ability to lose weight that I had craved for so long, an obsession that quickly turned into an eating disorder.
While entrenched in my eating disorder, I completely and unknowingly destroyed what little strength my body had left, leaving me with severe exhaustion, a crashed metabolism, and adrenal fatigue. Thankfully, I found my way to the wellness center that works in tandem with an infertility specialist in my area. The doctor there not only discovered that I have celiac disease (testing positive for EVERY IgA antigen), but that I had intestinal permeability (i.e., leaky gut), that had led me to develop a dairy and peanut sensitivity.
Over the past 12 months, I have lost 30 pounds! And the best part about it is that for once in my life, I felt like I wasn't dieting and restricting. Intestinal permeability can occur in anyone, not just celiacs. Although there currently aren't any established and accredited studies confirming the existence of food sensitivities, I know too many people (celiacs and non-celiacs alike) who have drastically improved by healing their gut.
So, if you think this could be you (which is probably everyone that found this page via a Google search), I urge you to find a practitioner in your area who can help you! For most of us who struggle with PCOS, we get to the point where we will try anything because we have nothing to lose. The most important thing is to not give up!! I thought I was going to struggle with PCOS for my entire life, but after 6 long years I can safely say that all of my symptoms are gone.
Patricia this was so helpful in so many ways. Thank you for putting your story up. I have struggled with not only my weight but intestinal problems since I can remember. I gave up a long time ago bc no doctor could ever tell me or direct me to why I was always having such horrible issues. I will be speaking to my doctor about this immediately.
In the medical community it is not yet proven that there is such a thing as wheat/gluten intolerance. Neither is proven the links with inflammation etc.
The problem is, if you do react badly to wheat/gluten and cut it out before you get a blood test for celiac disease you may never discover you have celiac disease and therefore are likely to not be as strict as you need to be.
Therefore would you please write in thispost that if you do suspect problems with wheat/gluten to get a blood test as your first port of call, before an elimination diet?
As for health reasons, many people do well on a gluten free diet as they cut down on bread, cakes, beer etc. But gluten free alternatives are more unhealthy than the regular stuff. So gluten is not the great diet that everyone thinks it is.
(I have been diagnosed with celiac disease for the past year and half and I believe I also have PCOS. I haven't noticed any changes to my PCOS being gluten free, and I am very strictly gluten free).
I was diagnosed a couple of years ago. I could go 10months without a period. I went gluten free and and my cycle became a regular 35-40 days (which for me was fantastic!) it took about 6months of the diet to get to this point. My skin cleared up aswell. It's hard at first but once you have been doing it for a while you don't miss the bread at all!
This is an eye opener. How does one get tested/diagnosed for gluten intolerance?
I've been gluten-free since April and feel so much better. I no longer have daily headaches, diarrhea, sneezing, feel tired, etc.
I was diagnosed with PCOS 9 years ago and have been treating it with Oral Contraceptives. Last May I decided to go gluten free and I saw a dramatic improvement. Within the first three months I dropped 15 pounds. I was also exercising a few times per week, but before exercise never gave me those kinds of results. My bloating and digestive issues completely went away and for the first time I had a flat stomach again. I also stopped getting migraines and my skin cleared up dramatically. I've tried everything for my skin including accutane. Yet PCOS always won out – until now! I will never go back to eating gluten, I feel so much better now. And when I do decide to go off oral contraceptives, I'll have a jump start to managing my symptoms naturally!
I have had very painful periods since I started my first one at age 12. They have always been regular and I have never missed one, but they were always excruciating. It wasn't until I was 22 that I was finally diagnosed with PCOS. I have been gluten free since January and my pain is 100% gone. I have had three pain-free periods in a row. It used to be so severe that I could hardly move, now I don't think twice when I get my period. Its amazing, and I will never go back to eating gluten!
What kind of food did u avoid?
I went gluten free about 1 1/2 months ago, before I actually stumbled upon this article. It was the best decision I have ever made!! I have so much more energy, I feel amazing, and I'm already down 20 lbs! I started by allowing myself to use the many alternatives on the market, even though I know that many of them are high in carbohydrates, because I wanted to baby step it. After the first month, I've started cutting down on any alternative options that have a little too much carbs/sugars. I'm surprised at how easy the transition has been. I eat a lot more protein now, meat, eggs, nuts. And tons of fruit/veggies. I also gave up all juices/sodas and now drink only water, I'm only getting my fruits in natural ways now. I would highly recommend gluten free to anyone, especially those who have PCOS like me! It's a great way to feel better!!
Hi Tarryn, Love the site, my wife has PCOS and we believe our 6 year old daughter might as well (seeing all the symptoms but the doctors are hesitant to diagnose yet). I was wondering, would Quinoa, amaranth, and Chia work as good wheat replacements? And can you recommend any other wheat repalments? We grow most of our own fruits and veggies, and I have no problem planting more of the yard with food.
Rice, potatoes would work also?
I've cut down on gluten as much as possible. Though I don't have any of the symptoms listed above. I'm still going dairy free too, but neither of these have made much difference since I started this over six months ago. In fact my period stopped again. I'm not gaining weight, but it am definitely not losing again. And I have also tried estrosmart and now trying glucosmart. Should I return to a healthy diet that includes gluten and dairy? How long did it take for your body to work after dropping gluten and dairy?
Thank you so much Tarryn for this website. It is a god-send. I have been convinced for quite some time that I have PCOS however because I am overweight, no doctor (I've seen 3!) will check for it because they all believe my symptoms (extremely irregular menstrual cycle, hirustism, weight gain, etc..) are simply because of being overweight. I found your website in September, ordered Inositol and Folic acid in huge quantities (yay for bulk discounts) and have been doing my very best to remain gluten and dairy free. In 3 months I have lost 30 pounds which has been an impossible feat for the past 8 years. It's a slow loss but I don't care – it's working and that's all that matters to me. Thank you so much for your site.
Uhm, that's not a slow loss, that's amazing! You should celebrate that rockstar lifestyle change!
Thanks so much for this awesome article. I completely agree with the fact that gluten and PCOS go hand in hand. I was diagnosed in 2011 with PCOS, and went gluten free in March of 2012. I have never been happier.. Best decision I ever made! I lost 25 lbs, periods returned to normal, got my energy back, and I feel so much better overall. There are so many options that are gluten free, its a must try!!
I just read your article and found it really interesting. I have just gone gluten and dairy free 7 days ago and I feel amazing already. I lost a kilo (working out a lot aslo) and I'm not bloated or tired and feel like I have lots of energy. This is now a lifestyle I plan on keeping up.
Tarryn… Thank you so much for your amazingly helpful website. I wonder if you might be able to help answer a query? I have recently changed my diet to help with suspected PCOS and have cut out dairy and am eating Low GI i.e wholegrain/ wholemeal high fibre foods. I wondered about going gluten free but when I looked into gluten free products everything seemed to be 'white' ie no wholegrain options. Is it better to eat wholegrain/ wholemeal bread, crackers, cereals etc. or is it better to go for gluten free options even if they aren't high fibre/ low GI? Many thanks.
THis has been beyond helpful. When I was diagnosed I just kind of brushed it off. I thought it was just about irregular menstruation and extra hair growth. This site has been so educational and has helped me to understand what's going on with my body. I didn't know that all these things could be factors. Thank you so much. SO much frustration just left my heart haha. I feel like I can actually do something to change the way I've been feeling.
I think it's a personal choice. I personally have not been THAT strict. I avoid it completely, but don't go to the extreme of not ordering food if the grill at a restaurant has had contact with gluten containing items. But if there is obvious gluten product in it, I will not eat it.
Cami, I think Breezie hit the nail on the head. We're not going to have a major reaction like someone with Celiac's might. But, even a little bit can cause inflammation so it's best to avoid it if you can. If I know I have been GF for at least a few weeks and there's a chance of cross-contamination, I might still go for it because my body has had time to heal from my previous exposures. I try to limit any exposure to once a month or less. It really does do wonders! I have lost all semblance of psoriasis and eczema, as well as that dreaded random "under the skin" persistent itch that I know so many of us experience! The itching comes back with a vengeance as soon as I'm exposed, which is a great warning sign, even if it's annoying.
Tarryn, have you studied or experienced the benefits of coconut oil in your diet having PCOS? I'm curious if anyone else has noticed increased weight-loss and better skin and hair hydration?
This is so helpful! I just cannot get enough of the information you are sharing. My husband and I went gluten free for a period of time and felt really great. Circumstances made it impossible to maintain the diet at the time, but we are in a position to do it again and I can't wait! Thank you!


This Mystery Skype was a special one for Mr. Vesco. The students connected with 4th grade students at Desert View Elementary in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Mr. Vesco grew up in Rock Springs and his family still lives there! The students thought it was interesting that the students from Rock Springs get to have outside recess unless its below zero! Our students also learned that the State Fish of Wyoming is the Cutthroat Trout. Thanks for connecting with us!
Our Mystery Skype today was a new experience for us. We connected with Ms. Nikki Jones in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She was presenting to other educators in Virginia about how Mystery Skypes work and just how awesome they are. Our students did a great job helping Ms. Jones show the teachers how Mystery Skypes are fun and educational. Thanks for letting us be a part of the conference!
Our 21st Mystery Skype of the school year took us to Norman, Oklahoma, home of the University of Oklahoma. Even though the class had trouble hearing us, that didn't stop us from learning and connecting with our first state in the Southwest Region!
Our 20th Mystery Skype of the year took us north of the border once more. We connected with Mrs. Spicer's Class at the Robert Moore School in Fort Francis, Ontario, Canada. This town is right on the United States and Canadian border. The students loved comparing the weather of each place. The students from Mrs. Spicer's class thought it was interesting that our students aren't allowed to go outside for recess when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The Canadian students go outside even if the temperature is below zero! Mrs. Spicer's class was also surprised to learn that we do not play hockey here is Frontenac or even have an ice skating rink. This was one of our best Mystery Skype's yet!


The Genealogies of the Theban Priests Journal of Hellenic Studies , This article re-evaluates the significance attributed to Hecataeus' encounter with the Theban pri In the first part a critique is offered of various approaches Classicists have taken to this episode and its impact on Greek historiography. Classicists have generally imagined this as an encounter in which the young, dynamic and creative Greeks construct an image of the static, ossified and incredibly old culture of the Egyptians, a move which reveals deeper assumptions in the scholarly discourse on Greeks and 'other' cultures in the Mediterranean world. But the civilization that Herodotus confronted in his long excursus on Egypt was not an abstract, eternal Egypt. Rather, it was the Egypt of his own day, at a specific historical moment – a culture with a particular understanding of its own long history. The second part presents evidence of lengthy Late Period priestly genealogies, and more general archaizing tendencies. Remarkable examples survive of the sort of visual genealogy which would have impressed upon the traveling Greek historians the long continuum of the Egyptian past. These include statues with genealogical inscriptions and relief sculptures representing generations of priests succeeding to their fathers' office.
Favorite Aunt — Chapter 2: She came running out to meet me, ecstatic that I could make it. I was glad she seemed to have stayed in good shape all things considered. I still had this nagging expectation she should be walking slow and less mobile for some reason. As soon as we embraced, she broke down into sobs thanking me for coming. She felt so alone having to take care of Grandma before she passed away.

Tackling portals on a daily commute is one thing, but if you're making a day of it, here are five essentials for playing Ingress We'll take your scanner as a given. As with most games that rely heavily on constant updating and location features, Ingress devours battery life. A spare battery, whether to replace or recharge your main one, is essential for prolonged play. Even if you're driving from point to point, chances are you'll have to go on a hike to get some sneaky portals that are just out of reach of roads.
Comfy footwear will allow you to keep going without getting too cranky. Snacks You may have remembered a power supply for your scanner, but if you let yourself run low you're going to become sluggish and less likely to go that extra mile for that one last portal. If you've a fine day for it, why not have a picnic the perfect chance to charge your phone battery.
Water Hydration is important, especially if you're in a hot country or Ireland during a heatwave. Dehydration can lead to headaches, exactly what you want to avoid when trying to figure out which portal to take down next. If you don't have a waterproof case for your phone, bringing a ziplock bag is the affordable way to keep playing in wet weather. There are more expensive options, such as the type of bags for waterproofing maps, but you'll want to make sure your bag can accommodate your phone and extra battery.

The story of Western civilization is the process of opening the human mind to discover nature and realize his potential as a rational man. This struggle for mental liberation has seen many cycles of triumph and retreat throughout the history of cultural evolution. The Testosterone Hypothesis focuses on understanding how our roots in biological evolution, from which Homo sapiens emerged, are still the dominating force of our cultural evolution and still shaping our minds and worldviews.
Modern neuroscience has discovered that hormones, such as testosterone, dopamine, and serotonin, have been a major factor governing our biological development and reproductive life cycle of birth, growth, procreation, and finally death. However, this new, cutting edge research leads to a new understanding: these hormones carry a similar role in shaping the fate of civilization, the cycles of cultural growth and decay, and the rhythm of history.
By uncovering the hormone secrets, we can liberate humanity from the more primitive dictatorship of our ancient mammalian brain. Then, the more recently evolved neocortex—the center of human reason and high-level conceptual thought—will be fully free to become the master of our destiny.
Until Darwin's publication of On the Origin of Species (1859) it was believed by the academic establishment that all species were created differently, with no one scientific principle process taking place. Darwin shattered the mystical view of creation with a new understanding of creation as an evolutionary process. In relation to the humanities and the social sciences, this anachronistic point of view still pervades the academic world still today.
The new book, The Testosterone Hypothesis, shatters this simplistic view of the history of our cultural origins with a new groundbreaking thesis that the origin of cultures is an evolutionary process similar to the one taking hold in the biological world. This revolution in the humanities of understanding the complexity of human civilization as a dynamic process will propel us to the next level of scientific knowledge.

Plenty of lessons for Orange GOP in 'Karlpalooza'
Do we suppose that young Karl Brabenec has a new — grasp of the word "untenable"?
— I think maybe so. He belatedly offered to resign — last week from his job as a staff aide to Orange County Executive — Edward Diana and Diana quickly said yes.
— Young Karl, of course, is the fellow who was at — a national Young Republican convention last month in Boston. He or — his friends distributed a flier for Karl's birthday bash, "Karlpalooza — '03", promising "lots of beer, liquor and sex to go around all evening'' — and encouraging young women to attend and wear as little clothing — as possible.
— A furor ensued over the past two weeks, as word — surfaced of young Karl's efforts to find a date. Among other effects — of this pathetic stunt, as one reader noted, was to bring 24-year-old — Karl and Orange County to the attention of Roger Ailes' web log, http://rogerailes.blogspot.com/.
— Ailes was withering in his critique of Laura Vance, — a Young Republican who came to young Karl's defense, and who referred — to a mainstream Republican women's group as a "a bunch of old hags.''
— Wrote Ailes: "Ms. Vance went on to describe the — thong and see-through bra she had planned to wear to Karlpalooza."
— She hadn't actually done so, of course, but when — one shows up on Roger Ailes' radar, one is in dangerous territory. — Ailes is a master.
— We now know, thankfully, that young Karl wasn't — cut out for politics. And it's better to know that sooner than later.
— Still, there's some sense of betrayal, if you will, — that lingers. One woman called me and related how she had recently — called the county executive's office and been fobbed off to young — Karl. She had told a number of details of her complaint or issue to — Karl, and now she wondered. Was he discreet? Some of this was personal — information, and while maybe it wasn't top secret, it was still personal — stuff. Would her issue be taken seriously?
— Then she had read in the paper about young Karl — and concluded that this man's reputation was less than sterling. She — was troubled.
— Indeed. Troubled would be a good word for the whole — sordid mess.
— Why did young Karl think this was acceptable behavior? — For someone whose political hero was supposedly Ronald Reagan, this — was pretty un-Reaganlike.
— Why did other Young Republicans like Vance think — they could circle the wagons? Calling mainstream Republican women — "old hags" would seem to me to violate the 11th Commandment in the — party (thou shalt not criticize another Republican). In addition, — it was those women, in some good measure, who paved the way for Vance.
— And why did it take Diana some days to decide that — Brabenec needed to walk the plank? "This kind of insensitive behavior — cannot and will not be tolerated in the office of the county executive," — Diana finally said last Tuesday, in accepting young Karl's offer to — quit.
— That's good, I suppose, but as the father of two — daughters I'd have been pretty strongly tempted to just kick him down — the stairs immediately, and we know the Government Center has plenty — of steps.
— Diana has two daughters, too.
— A government like Orange County's, at its highest — level, needs people like Chris Dunleavy to make the trains run on — time. People who are adults, who are mature and thoughtful.
— Let's hope Diana can find an adult for his newest — opening.

It is important to invest time in discussing what the right metrics and variables are for measuring and documenting impact. Using the wrong metrics or failing to provide context or rationale for those metrics can do a great deal of harm by focusing attention, and investment, on the wrong outcomes.
In order to design meaningful and appropriate metrics, organizations need to invest time and resources into the processes, such as strategic planning, which result in clarity around what an organization is trying to achieve, and how it goes about that work (e.g. key goals and theory of change). Funders have a role to play in supporting and participating in those processes that will result in better metrics and document clear impact from the investment of funds.
Funders should support not only programmatic work, but also the development and implementation of Monitoring & Evaluation systems required to collect the right data and information.
Funders should be pro-active in recognizing the challenges inherent to short-term and project-based funding models, and develop solutions with practitioners.
Funders should conduct due diligence- listening to different sources and/or conducting field visits- so that they align their funding with effective and impactful conservation work.
Competition amongst organizations- both practitioners and funders- is wasteful and counterproductive. Funders that are informed and pro-active can help alleviate this problem and promote collaboration.
Trust funds are an important and expanding model for establishing long-term funding required for effective and lasting conservation work.
There is a role for a clearinghouse mechanism that connects smaller funders with smaller organizations, and improves the overall efficiencies of these interactions and networks within the conservation space. It is equally challenging for Africa-based conservation organizations to identify and connect with funders who are dispersed around the US, as it is for funders to identify effective African-based organizations.
The need to do a better job of showcasing success in African conservation.
Most funding for African conservation comes from bilateral and multilateral government aid agencies, and is often heavily constrained, but smaller amounts of strategic, flexible private funding can leverage and amplify those larger funding sources.
Organizations need sufficient and flexible budgets to invest in and retain top talent, with an intent of building capacity over a 10 year time frame- a break from the current, predominant short-term nature of hiring.
Conservation needs more women in senior positions in conservation organizations.
Funders need to have an interest in and be willing to invest in how conservation organizations are managed and governed, supporting the investment in people through organizational development grants, professional development, and other mechanisms.
Overall, there is a need for safe communities of practice to share challenges, build relationships, and develop collaborations between African conservation organizations.
There were recurring themes around the need for better communication both between funders and practitioners, as well as between funders. The current community of practice suffers from inefficiencies around due diligence and information asymmetry between funders and practitioners. Participants expressed some interest in exploring the potential for additional convening, funders discussion and education, and more efficient due diligence. Maliasili Initiatives will be following up with participants to gather additional feedback and chart a course of action.


Charlotte, NC, January 31, 2018	(Newswire.com) - When it comes to search and rescue, Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) and PLBs are a last resort as they are becoming an outdated technology. With limited functionality, a lack of two-way communication, no message confirmation when a distress message is transmitted and received successfully, the possibility of lengthy delays, and a wide search radius– they leave those most in need of their assistance with too many variables.
Nautic Alert X2 is not a replacement for an EPIRB or PLB, it is a first resort enabling a boater to declare an emergency situation and enables two-way messaging with the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) using the integrated built in touchscreen QWERTY keyboard, for message creation and transmission, two-way interaction, message confirmation, and to enable proactive behavior both before and during an emergency. When an event occurs, Nautic Alert gets to work by using up to three redundant highly-accurate position references and sending parallel messages to authorized alert contacts. A change in the vessel position due to drift or some other reason is automatically detected and reported to the IERCC, thus removing this critical task from the user and keeping the search and rescue team up-to-date. Nautic Alert enables the user to communicate with the IERCC without the fear of a language barrier. With over 240 spoken dialects to choose from, being understood never has to be an issue. Nautic Alert also supports device to cell text messaging and device-to-device messaging as well.
Up to 32-MOBs can be used both onboard or in the vicinity of the vessel; giving the user the choice to trigger an IERCC notification on activation, or use Nautic Alert's Onboard Alarm Network for audible and visual notifications through the vessel, to ensure the user and crew are all informed. These long-range transmitters can even be concealed and carried onshore.
The Nautic Alert platform integrates safety technology with other integrated capabilities such as advanced security based on microwave and radar based technology, bilge management, high precision anchor alarm, vessel locator, vessel tracking, DC multi-battery bank management, AC shore power detection, VMS, and reporting to support commercial and OEM integration solutions and for audit and compliance reporting. Nautic Alert works to protect people and assets.
Nautic Alert is a brand name of Market Spectrum, Inc. designed and manufactured for marine recreational boats and commercial vessels to monitor, detect events before it becomes a problem, and to communicate on board or remotely. Nautic Alert is a scalable platform that can integrate custom features on request. For more information, visit www.nauticalert.com or contact Market Spectrum Inc. at (800) 385-1674.

I see the National Institute for Chemical Excess is at it again, trying to make sure no potential customers are missed in the brave project to get the whole of the U.K. on medication.
They are advising GPs to check back through their patient records for anyone with cholesterol levels that are allegedly 'too high' but who is not currently taking statin drugs for that, to see if the doctor cannot shift more of these tablets at public expense by persuading patients that they should take them, whether they want to or not. The suggestion is that they 'need' them to protect them from heart attacks, which everyone knows are caused by too much cholesterol. Too much bad cholesterol, that is. Good cholesterol is different, as everyone knows.
Everyone 'knows' these things because everyone has been told this many, many times, and although some people take no notice because they are dubious about medical advice, since it seems to keep changing all the time, others are afraid enough of heart attacks to take whatever pills are currently being prescribed, assuming that it is all backed up by hard science.
Well, it rather depends upon who you believe. Personally I believe Dr Malcolm Kendrick, author of The Great Cholesterol Con (John Blake Publishing 2007). So although my cholesterol levels are allegedly 'too high', having read that book I've decided to remain drug-free and take my chances.
Recently my father's GP offered him statins because his cholesterol was slightly higher than the regulations demand. He politely declined, having lived his entire life having virtually nothing to do with medical services of any kind. He is eighty this year, and has never had any trouble with his heart, so he took the radical and reckless view that he didn't need to spend the rest of his life on medication either.
It certainly wouldn't take them long to check back through his medical records.
Steadily the disquiet about this medication seems to be building, particularly in the U.S., where it was made available first. There are certainly bad reports, but there are quite a few good reports as well. Trouble is, it is difficult to know whether these are genuine, or some form of marketing. I think there is certainly some of that going on – one of the responses sent to this site regarding my previous blogpost on Champix was full of praise for the medication, but it came from a site that was selling the stuff! No bias there then.
So once again – give us your views, if you have tried Champix and managed not to kill yourself. Those Champix users that did kill themselves, I'm not suggesting for a moment that the tragedy had anything to do with them taking Champix, you understand. People suffer sudden, severe personality changes and top themselves all the time, don't they? Sure they do.
It's probably caused by nicotine withdrawal, just as Pfizer are saying – I mean, just think of all those people you've known over the years that quit the fags, and then just a few weeks later threw themselves off a bridge. Probably one in every family, I should think. No, it can't be anything to do with Champix – I mean, they tested it on a few people for twelve weeks and everything.

It is really "evidence-based" medicines that are killing and harming people in ever-increasing numbers, not any sort of complementary medicine. Drugs are what the public need protecting from, not alternative approaches which hardly ever harm anyone!
I'm going to leave this subject aside for a bit after this, but thanks to my colleague up North who sent this in: a recent report by The Daily Mail's Medical Correspondent Jenny Hope. Apparently the number of deaths in the UK from adverse reactions to medications has risen by 131 per cent since 1997. This is clear evidence that medications are killing and seriously harming people in ever-greater numbers.
The number of prolonged hospitalisations due to severe allergic reactions or serious side effects rose by 82% in the same period, totalling 41,935 people over the last ten years. It doesn't take a genius to work out that these medications have not been tested as well as they should have been, and that at least some of them should not have been passed as if they were safe. Nicotine Replacement products certainly should not have been approved – but we'll never know how many heart attacks and strokes they have caused, since that poison was stupidly given the official status of "medication", despite having no medicinal properties whatsoever.
8,077 of these people with severe adverse reactions to medicines died as a result, with last year's UK fatality rate of 1,031 being the highest yet. Let me make this quite clear: these people were not killed by illness, but by medicines that were officially approved as safe by the existing system. They proved not to be – and although a certain amount of this sort of thing is inevitable if you are going to prescribe drugs at all, these numbers are frightening – especially when you add that to the number of people now being killed by superbugs contracted whilst in hospitals. How long will it be before people are more afraid of doctors and hospitals than they are of being ill? Will more people end up dying soon because they are too afraid of medicines and hospitals to seek medical help?
Oh. So what we are really seeing here is an improvement, is it? I can't help wondering what Edzard Ernst, Exeter University's Professor Against Complementary Medicine makes of all this. As a former member of the Medicines Commission of the British Medicines Control Agency (MCA), which has evidently been approving as 'safe enough' many of the medicines that have caused all this suffering and death, does he not feel agonized by the sheer hypocrisy of his ridiculous position in suggesting things like chiropractic and homeopathy are "dangerous"? He says nothing – nothing – about the thousands of innocent people being damaged or killed by the very medications he was personally involved in approving, but works very hard to make sure no-one can say anything positive about complementary medicine without him leaping up to object, and the truly sickening thing is that he claims to be doing that to protect the public.
From what – homoeopathy? When did that ever hospitalise anyone, you sneaky little Professor Against Complementary Medicine? If you really wanted to protect the public, you could do a better job of it by warning people about the real dangers of some of the medications that should never have been passed in the first place, like Champix for example. But protecting the public isn't your real concern, is it Eddie? That's just a pose. That's why you keep referring to pharmaceutical products as "evidence-based", when the real evidence is that they are killing and damaging more people than ever before, whereas complementary medicine obviously isn't. You're a Misinformation Machine, you are. Shame on you, Edzard. Shame on you and all your smug "quackbuster" buddies – you're PROTECTING the real quacks (Pfizer, GSK et al) by creating this anti-CAM smokescreen in the media, and people are dying as a result.
Now that I've got that off my chest… if you would like to know more about hypnotherapy – which the medical authorities in the U.K. are still officially describing as "unproven" thanks to the unholy influence of the pharmaceutical industry! – visit the Central Hypnotherapy website.
They are lying, by the way: the British Medical Association endorsed hypnotherapy as a valid form of treatment in 1955. Of course, that was way back when they were a genuinely independent body, before they were controlled by the evil and utterly ruthless pharmaceutical industry.

Next Generation Communications Hit Notre Dame Stadium
NextGen Voice Featured Article
By Steve Anderson, Contributing Writer
We don't often think of stadiums right away when we think of next generation communications, though we probably should. Such systems are powering a lot of exciting new options, and recently, Nokia (News - Alert) got together with the University of Notre Dame to test out new wireless communications systems that should help augment the game day experience.
The new testing between Nokia and the University of Notre Dame's Wireless Institute—part of its College of Engineering—has primarily focused on Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC). With MEC, users get access to a software platform that can improve the flexibility of network access, particularly in congested areas like sports stadiums. Add to that the growing number of uses for such connectivity at the stadium and there's every reason to pursue something like this.
Additionally, the duo tested Edge Video Orchestration (EVO) systems to provide up to four different video streams at once with delays under 500 milliseconds, as well as augmented reality (AR) systems that can display overlays of data for players and other points when a camera is pointed at these points, commonly using an app. The system turned not only to Nokia's MEC platform—which offers some excellent latency levels—but also the Nokia AirFrame server.
Wireless Institute co-director J. Nicholas Laneman commented, "With the advent of disruptive mobile technologies, we are delighted to see both Notre Dame and South Bend as a destination for these types of demonstrations. Officials from the City of South Bend were also onsite to check out the benefits first-hand. We were pleased to work with Nokia and excited to see their technology in a proof of concept that provides flexibility and power to enhanced and innovative applications."
Not only are there ancillary reasons to have such connectivity—ordering concessions in advance via mobile devices, paying for these concessions, and checking on player stats during games—but there are also more distraction-based reasons involved. Whether connecting to social media or the like during time-outs or other slowdowns in play, people want to be able to connect, and that means a lot of connectivity capability required to address the demand.
Football is a very big deal at Notre Dame—just ask anyone who's ever tried to find a hotel room in the area mid-September—so it's not out of line to see an expansion like this brought out. With reports of poor connectivity emerging from this consistently well-attended event, augmenting connectivity would have had to be high on the list just to keep the user base from revolting and staying away from games. With these projects in place, though, it's a safe bet that old Notre Dame will keep fans coming back and cheering for some time to come.

Year-old changes to the system that distributes deceased donor kidneys nationwide have significantly boosted transplantation rates for black and Hispanic patients on waiting lists, reducing racial disparities inherent in the previous allocation formula used for decades, according to results of research led by a Johns Hopkins transplant surgeon.
The research, described online in December in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, also showed other "winners and losers" in the new system. Younger adults gained wider access to these coveted organs, compared to those who are still "overrepresented" on recipient lists -- those over 50 and those whose immune systems more readily tend to reject donor organs.
New York, NY, January 7, 2016 - To determine patient eligibility for heart transplant, the International Society for Heart Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) maintains a list of criteria, first issued in 2006, that acts as a guideline for physicians. A major 10-year update has now been issued and published in The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, which is freely available at http://www.jhltonline.org.
According to the Netherlands Transplant Foundation, about a thousand people are on the waiting list for organ transplants – most of them are waiting for a kidney.
Last year 40 percent of the Dutch population were listed on the donor registry, and 24 percent gave permission for his or her organs or tissues to be used after death.
