A brain injury can cause seizure(s) because of the unusual amount of energy that is discharged across of the brain when the injury occurs and thereafter. When there is damage to the temporal lobe of the brain, there is a disruption of the supply of oxygen.
What is Barley? Barley (also called groats) is botanically known as Hordeum vulgare and is believed to originate in western Asia or Ethiopia. Dating back to the stone age, barley is still considered one of the top five cereal grains in the world. Only ten percent of barley is used as human food, while a full third is used for brewing malt beverages, including beer and whiskey. However, the majority of harvest barley is used for livestock feed.
Pearl barley refers to covered barley that has been processed to remove the tough inedible outer hull and then pearled or polished. Barley may be pearled to varying degrees and labeled as regular, medium, fine or baby pearl. Pearl barley may also be called blocked, pot or scotch barley. Pearl barley is available in several forms; however, kernels or berries (pictured at right) are the most common. But pearl barley may also be purchased flaked, cut (grits) and ground (meal or flour).
