On Top of Old Smoky

Fat Diminisher System Review Actually it all took place "On Top of Old Winnemucca Mountain" and then again, only halfway up that peak, a mighty force of 14 plus two grandkids, trekked with 200 gallons of purple whitewash, buckets, and mops to transform the gathered rocks into a symbol of Alzheimer's Awareness and to honor caregivers. The "W" looks over this community and has donned many coats of paint over the year from school colors, to St. Patricks' green, to pink for breast cancer awareness. Eyes automatically guide to this sign, checking out what the town is up to now.

On June 21st, the longest day of the year, several of us believed it was time to spread knowledge about Alzheimer's disease with the hope that everyone in our town would know more, and that travelers will recognize that this is a community full of people who care. Yes, we care about each other and we care about finding a cure. Alzheimer's is the only disease of the top 10 causes of death in the United States with no prevention, no reversal, and no cure. It is time will all banged a resounding gong to send the message to researchers and the medical world that it is time to stop this disease in its tracks.

So how does one go about such an undertaking? To begin with I have a band of loyal friends, even though they acknowledge that I am a bit crazy (I refer to it as "driven"). Although thirty or forty planned to attend this auspicious event, only fourteen were able to arise before dawn for the drive up the mountain. My husband helped me whip up our batch of whitewash, made with donations of lime, colorant, and a large, plastic, lidded tank with valve for filling buckets (also donated). 200 gallons required about 450 pounds of lime plus lots of magenta and blue colorant. As we mixed with a mop and added water and the ingredients, I felt a bit like one of Macbeth's witches, "Boil, boil, toil and trouble... "


We then drove our load through town and up the rugged, rocky mountain road where our crew met us. With filled buckets of lovely purple (the symbolic color of Alzheimer's disease), and string mops (also donated) in hand, the team ascended to the peak of the W and began their colorful slog. Buckets were refilled multiple times as little by little the W took on its purple hue. Unfortunately we found that the brilliant wet purple transformed into lavender, a lovely color but not as bright as we had hoped. After about two hours of hearty painting, the gallons had transferred from container to mountain and we paused for a happy cheer. As we gathered for our group photo, a brave and trusting friend asked, half facetiously and half knowingly that I'd have a response, "What's our next project?" I laughed and then explained it: making ours part of the World Health Organization's Ageing-Friendly Communities. The good news is, we are friendly and care about others, the better news is that while this requires research and legwork, no buckets and paint are necessary!

The Importance of Neurology

Fat Diminisher Review Neurology is a branch of medical science that deals with the nervous system disorders. Specifically, this study deals well with diagnosis and treatment of the diseases that involve the peripheral, central, and autonomic nervous systems. Neurologists, the physicians specialized in this science, are well trained in investigating, diagnosing, and treating neurological disorders. There are a lot of them when you search for them on the Internet. This means that there are also lots of people today who seek their help to correct these kinds of disorders. There are lots of neurological disorders experienced by some people today. Among these disorders are Alzheimer's, Aphasia, Bell's Palsy, cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and many more. These are just some of the diseases treated by neurologists.

Neurologists play a very significant role in the lives of the people who experience such disorders. A very common neurological disorder now is schizophrenia. We will examine this disorder closely so we may be able to understand neurology fully.. You can say that someone is suffering from schizophrenia if he experiences auditory hallucinations, like he can hear voices speaking to him. Another thing is the delusion where one experiences false beliefs. These are the common symptoms of people with schizophrenia, those having psychotic symptoms. Symptoms that are highly disruptive includes disturbance in the processing of information and impaired cognition. Though this is the less dramatic of symptoms, it can really cause trouble. Yes, it is true that having this kind of disorder could be a hassle and very tiring. Aside from this, people suffering from this may have lower rates of independent living, marriage, and employment when you compare it with other individuals who are not schizophrenic. The best thing a family member can do with the person suffering from it is to bring him or her to a neurologist so that he can be examined thoroughly.


When tests and examinations are done, the neurologist may be able to diagnose the symptoms and will eventually carry out medical treatment. The patient will be given doses of medicines to help him calm down and focus. Proper treatment and therapy is very beneficial. With continued treatment, the patient will somehow recover from this disorder, allowing him to live a normal and better life. If one of your family members is suffering from schizophrenia, you have to understand him patiently. Though the patient, at some point, may not treat you nicely, you still need to understand. Dealing with this disorder is not that simple. This is the primary importance of neurology, helping us communicate with mentally ill patients and help them become better.
