Over 60 million Americans, about one-fifth of the U.S. population, live in areas where access to healthcare, including IV administration, is often limited. This particularly poses challenges for people with chronic diseases like MS.
Roger was diagnosed with MS when he was 36, and experienced symptoms including migraines, vision loss and leg pain.
However, he has been able to manage his MS thanks in part to a newly approved treatment by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The treatment is the first and only twice-a-year, 10-minute subcutaneous injection for certain types of MS and provides a new and much needed option for people living with the disease, particularly those who need flexibility in the route of administration or treatment time.
Dr. Robert Shin, Director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Clinical Neuroimmunology Division at UVA Health, is available to discuss the importance of this treatment for MS and will explain how it provides additional choice and flexibility for both healthcare providers and people living with the disease. Roger will also be joining Dr. Shin to talk about his experience with MS and how this treatment option has helped him manage his disease.

The post LIVING WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA IS NOT WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT’S NOT ALWAYS PORTRAYED ACCURATELY ON TV SHOWS AND IN THE MOVIES. appeared first on Good News!.

“On Burning Ground: A Son’s Memoir” (St. Martin’s Press/Macmillan) is a true narrative of radical masquerade: the story of how at the height of World War II a fair-haired rabbinical student assumed the identities of a Catholic and, more strategically, of a Muslim, to survive racial genocide. In effect, it is a journey to the end of night capturing the visceral danger and spiraling suspense of a young man alone in the world, bereft of any structure of support, outwitting his destiny.

This is a tale of a wartime chameleon, a man of multiple masks, who survived by ingenuity, daring, and deft maneuver. In a desperate gamble at life, a parochial student at one of Poland’s pre-eminent rabbinical academies used his many false “selves”–especially his assumed Muslim identity, which gave him cover for his circumcision–to fake his way into the belly of the beast, the dreaded Waffen-SS, the inner core of the Nazi killing machine, in order to survive certain death.

A story of total and terrifying self-reinvention, it demonstrates the multiple arts of passing: psychological daring, sartorial strategy (he had to look the part) and linguistic mastery (he had to sound the part) to stay alive. By necessity, it touches upon such issues as existential choice and dread, moral anguish and ambiguity, as well as the ever-tormenting question of means and ends, questions to animate intense educational, psychological and ethical discussion. After the war, Joseph Skakun returned to Judaism in a fog of anguish in Paris and then in New York, where he lived amid a supernova of memory and penance. Michael Skakun become his witness as his father recounted his death-defying story to him. See (www.onburningground.com)

The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, or the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, is an international memorial day on 27 January that commemorates the victims of the Holocaust, which resulted in the murder of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities between 1933 and 1945 by Nazi Germany, an attempt to implement their “final solution” to the Jewish question. 27 January was chosen to commemorate the date when the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945.

100 years from today, for example in 2122 all of us will be underground with our relatives and friends.

Strangers will live in our homes. Our property will be owned by strangers.

They will not even remember us. How many of us think of our grandfather’s father. We will become part of history in the memory of our generations, while people will forget our names and shapes.

At that time we will realize how ignorant and deficient the dream of getting everything was. We would ask for one more life to spend it only in doing good deeds, but it would be too late.

Keep in mind, today we have the opportunity to do good for ourselves and others. The only thing that will remain forever is our good deeds in this life and the life hereafter.

We still have time, Do good deeds before it’s too late !!!

Siberian ginseng,

which can improve athletic performance and the ability to do work
and can also be used to boost the immune system,
prevent colds, and increase appetite.

Vitamin C

which is important to help protect your memory and thinking as you age.
On top of this it may reduce your risk of chronic disease
as well as boost immunity.

And lastly, Curcumin,

the main active ingredient in turmeric.
Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory compound
and can increase the antioxidant capacity of the body.

The above is just a few of the health benefits of the four superfoods above.

And these superfoods

can all be found in the new health drink hitting the market this year;
