Micro current stimulation could be a successful treatment of macular degeneration Be

Micro Current Stimulation (MCS) therapy

Micro Current Stimulation (MCS) therapy is perhaps the most promising treatment currently being investigated for dry age-related macular degeneration. This is a non-surgical procedure, which is the promotion of nerve fibers in the macula and a current very low with a device approved by the FDA on battery power. The current is supplied deposited with different electrical frequencies through electrodes on the closed eyelids. Treatmentdoes not cause discomfort or pain and is twice a day. While a very effective form of treatment is the MCS therapy is no cure for macular degeneration and must continue for the life of the patient. Overall, no side effects or adverse reactions associated with this process were observed. Micro current technology stimulation to the point where people learn their own micro-electrical stimulation therapy can be considered a residential unit progressed. In many cases, a patientMCS undergoing treatment will experience an improvement in vision in four days. For people with a severe form of the disease, it may take several months.

Human cells are no different than batteries. They sometimes have lower energy can be saved or to maintain power. The micro-current therapy offers the charm of the cells 'energy' must be similar to charging a battery. Studies have also shown that the MCS therapy increases the flow of blood microcirculation,concentrations of ATP stimulated an increase in amino acids and concentrations of nutrients into cells.

Each body cell has an electrical charge. It is believed that part of what causes macular degeneration is a waste of energy source in the cell, or loss of electric charge. Just like a flashlight does not work without a charged battery to work, the photoreceptors of the retina can not function without a source of energy. MCS therapy is considered to increase energy sourcewithin the cell.

Macular Degeneration Foundation provides preliminary pre-clinical studies through pioneering ophthalmologists and researchers can view the electrical stimulation therapy, visual acuity, sharpness and color vision in 68 percent of patients improve with macular degeneration dry and 58 percent of respondents with the wet form. Reports from Russia indicate similar benefits.

A study conducted by Dr. J. Allen and Dr. Michael D. Leland under Nutritional published by MerrellIn addition, electrical stimulation and age-related macular degeneration showed that 60 percent of patients showed improvement in visual acuity after a combination therapy of micro-electrical stimulation and dietary supplements.

Drs Grace Halloran and August L. Reader studied with thirty people, in general, do not treat diagnosed eye diseases including macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, CMV retinitis, and diabetic retinopathy. Patients were treated with aA combination of micro-electrical stimulation therapy and dietary supplements. Overall, significant increase in visual acuity of vision led to the majority and clearly establishes the safety of the combination of MCS therapy and dietary supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions about MCSTherapy ...

How does MCS (TM) Therapy?

In general, the electrical current gently wakes up the cells from sleep and stimulates the healing process. In short, cellssuch as batteries. When energy is low or runs out, the lights go out. MCS therapy changing the electrical charge of the cells in the eye to promote healing and regeneration.

The second way the therapy works, the ability of cells to increase to get rid of waste. A cell with "stuck" waste products is a dead cell and impair cellular communications in the region, where it is. The cells must take in nutrients and eliminate waste, as allother living beings. The energy provided by MCS therapy stimulates the cells of vital and less sluggish.

The third possibility MCS therapy works, is driven by an increase in blood flow in the area. By increasing blood flow in the range of cells and tissues are nourished, refreshed and increases the oxygen supply.

MCS therapy is safe?

No side effects or visible adverse effects associated with this treatment were. No increase in conversion to the wet form of AMD was foundthose who have been treated.

What is the treatment?

MCS therapy can be administered in a doctor's office or a treatment unit at home. Even if you start the treatment in a medical study, prolonged treatment with a treatment device at home is to keep to an improvement in vision and poor need to think of AMD.

After learning to self-administer treatment to treatment in the comfort of conduct at home with home treatment device. This iseasy to learn and use. After starting the treatments will continue with treatments twice a day. Each treatment lasts 6 to 12 minutes. Who has had the therapy, his vision to deteriorate.

How much can I expect an improvement in vision therapy MCS?

The results have been remarkable, with more than 68% of people with dry AMD treated show a statistically significant improvement in one or both eyes and 58% of people with wet AMD showsImprovement. 52% of patients experience an improvement of two or more lines with the standard Snellen chart visual acuity measured.

Why does my optometrist or ophthalmologist to know about MCS Therapy?

Most eye doctors in practice today have been told that she had macular degeneration, an incurable disease and that nothing can be done to restore a damaged retina to a healthy state. It 's also interesting to note that most doctors now in practice have beentrained to believe that food supplements are a waste of time and money. After 20 years they have finally admitted it was wrong on vitamins. Medicine as a profession is to change slowly or admit their mistakes.

Micro-electric stimulation therapy is currently used by most of the vitamins so doctors have been seen 20 years ago, is considered a therapy "unconventional". While small studies in the literature that the efficacy of MCS has been published,Although there have been major scientific studies have been published in traditional journals. These large-scale studies are what most doctors depend on to guide them in their recommendations to patients.

Several large-scale studies are underway or are being developed and should prove the efficacy of MCS for all. However, it takes 2 to 4 years and millions of dollars in research funds to complete their studies. Meanwhile, there areno reason that this option should be given to patients. The first reports were positive in 65 to 90 percent of patients treated, there are no side effects or contraindications, treatment is relatively inexpensive, and there is no alternative treatment. Why not a patient with an illness otherwise "incurable" try this option?

The scientific evidence for medical treatment for MCS ...

How does the MCS therapy?

MCS therapy works by increasingintracellular ATP (adenosine triphosphate) concentrations, enhancing protein synthesis and stimulation of the cells' ability to absorb nutrients (Ngok Cheng, MD). It is believed that through these mechanisms, MCS therapy improves RPE efficiency and, therefore, can be recovered and / or improve macular function.

ATP is synthesized in the mitochondrial respiration in a process known as the Krebs cycle, the sequence of reactions in the mitochondria that complete oxidation of glucose. KrollWarriors of the age-related changes in mitochondrial metabolism, which showed a decrease in synthase. Guerrieri has gone further to show functional and structural differences of mitochondrial F0F1 ATP synthase complex in aging rats. It is believed that many diseases of the retina, at least in part, to a decrease in mitochondrial function and the consequent decrease of intracellular ATP. This reduction in mitochondrial function resulting from damage caused by free radicals andmutation of mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA).

It 's interesting to note the genetic link between ATP and retinal disease. ATP synthase (ATPase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP. A genetic defect in the ATPase 6 gene has now been raised in retinitis pigmentosa.

What is the difference between mortgage micro-currents, and other devices on the market?

Research by Cheng showed a very significant difference between the types of electrical installationsStimulators known as TENS devices and those classified as micro-current stimulators. Research has shown that the treatment was carried out with currents below 1000 micro-amps (less than 1 milli-amp) has a higher absorption of 75% to 400% of amino acids and an increase in intracellular ATP. In those treated with more than 1,000 micro-amps (more than 1 milli ampere), was in fact the amount of these substances, which are often less depressed compared with untreated controls. It 's very important to note,that TENS devices less expensive outside the safe and effective milliampere range and processed to levels much higher, some up to 80 mA. This is potentially dangerous and can lead to a reduction of intracellular ATP and the interruption of the Krebs cycle, with the reverse effect of MCS (TM) therapy. Micro current stimulator is 10 times the circuit of a standard therapeutic electrical stimulator and controlled treatment of the safe area to avoid milli amperes. Also, make sure that everyDevice, you can use is approved by the FDA. Many not on the market.

What is the legal status of MCS therapy with the FDA?

In the USA, governs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the sale of medical devices (an example is the use of lasers for LASIK surgery is used). Before a medical device in the United States illegally, the person or company selling the device will need to obtain from the FDA for sale. To obtain approval, must submit evidence that the deviceis fairly safe and effective for any purpose, the "Note". Relieve the symptoms of chronic intractable pain and as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of postoperative wound pain problems: Micro current stimulators were cleared in order for the indication. Once the FDA has approved a medical device, a doctor may decide to use the device for other indications if the doctor considers it in the best interest of the patient. The use of a device approved forother than the FDA-approved indication is called "off-label use." MCS therapy is considered "off-label use."

Breakthrough in longevity

Breakthrough: synthetic blood and longevity

On August 16, 2010 British "scientists have proved the principle that the lines of embryonic stem cells, red blood cells can be generated." Professor Marc Turner of the University of Edinburgh. is synthetic blood.

So What?

Curious in the development of their longevity, and that affects the rest of us. Each year in the UK are 2.5 million blood donations needed for blood transfusions and medicalProducts.

The lack of challenges blood every year in the United Kingdom and the United States. The cost of a pint of beer on average more than $ 500 if ultimately used by a patient. A reduction of up to 65% is possible with the synthetic blood. Wait, there's more.

Who Cares

synthetic blood is automatically free from infections, viruses, including mad cow disease. synthetic blood will not be rejected by the recipient. The final product is the blood of O-negative, the universal type in 99.9% of people without fear of transfusionRejection by the recipient organism.

Only 7% of the population of donors with O-negative. Now up to 100% O-Neg.

It has about seven years in the research stage. well-meaning people are already complaining that the scientists involved are baby killers. Red blood cells are created from spare IVF (in vitro fertilization). This is also provided for life.

In vitro fertilization, egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the womb. In vitro is Latin for "glass", in tubes orPetri dishes.

E

The break consisted of 100 surplus embryos as stem cell lines. They were in red blood cells contain hemoglobin, the pigment that transports oxygen in the transformed cells.

Before you say, who cares? - The next step is the creation of synthetic (artificial), liver, eyes and heart cells. Imagine the end of heart disease, and the big C in your life? Now we have all the attention, right?

It takes up to five years before clinical trials in humans. Why so long?In the U.S., the Federal Drug Administration has extensive protocols of the first approval.

Perhaps C. Craig Venter (of human genome), would speed up. synthetic blood could end all vampire movies and TV shows?

Who is that Venter

Here we go again. On May 21, 2010 was created synthetic (artificial) life of C. Biologist Craig Venter and his team. Get this: the first living organism with a completely synthetic genome leads to artificial life was verified at the VenterInstitute.

Curious and pathologists working conditions to be aware of: the Venter Institute in Rockville, Maryland team created the first synthetic life form. So what? "The cell line is the standard computer, another genetic code." Daniel Gibson, author of the article in Science magazine.

What have they done? Create a genome of a bacterium from point # 1 and inserted into a cell. The Guardian (UK) said: "It 'opens the way for the designer who built bodies, rather than development." Thisare the same people who brought the world great "the first human genome sequencing."

Practical Use

It's called KGF-2, and hospitals, purchase commercial laboratories. What this does is to start healing the artificial human, rather than waiting for mother nature. Think for a second, when gene therapy to treat a company to introduce new, the next step is to turn off heart disease and cancer genes. Eh?

Quick Biography

Venter is a NobelAward. He is a pariah in the scientific community - it should be, he gathered up his chips. Why? He has drawn government scientists at universities and those trying to decipher the genetic code. Venter's team has years of faster, cheaper and a lot of millions of dollars.

No one (including scientists included) may be a competitor who works harder and better. Venter's team has dominated the Human Genome Project. In 2000 he mapped the human genome three years ahead of schedule.

In 2010, VenterOnce again, the scientists suggest the production of the first cell with a synthetic genome. Nobody bets Venter Institute does not produce further progress in the creation of synthetic life. What? He does not want its competitors alert. This makes it a poor competitor, but a world-class scientists.

So What

This technology will create better diagnostic tests and new tools to analyze the disease and the best form of treatment. Get this: Venter says the Institute's work isApplication in new vaccines, drugs and even the best water.

Endwords

Some scientists claim that Venter's work is dangerous for humanity. They fear the effect Frankenstein, because he played too loose with its synthetic life care program. They call it a level 3 laboratory containment and disposal of the yeast culture with greater care.

He responded with arrogance, we solved this problem five years, thank you very much.

My bet is on C-Craig Venter to the future success - after his Nobel.

What do we learn from the bonobo monkeys

A study published in 2005 confirmed strong similarities between the genetic structure of human and bonobo apes. there are differences between the two species, but many purely statistical comparison shows a 98% similarity in DNA sequences.

Ongoing studies in the United States of America has shown the ability of bonobos to memorize the words and the use of primitive tools. Tests show that with constant training, these animals have language skills may be the sameone-year-old child of two humans.

Interesting as such research may be the question is if we learn something of bonobo apes. Bee enthusiasts have figured out how peaceful animals are pointed, but the facts contradict this conclusion: Bonobos are known for violent behavior on several occasions. Your company can not be shown to be free from aggression.

Those who promote vegetarianism among the people pointing the diet of the bonobo 'and the lack of scientific knowledge. Observationtheir natural habitat of these species do not eat only fruit, but also showed small animals like squirrels.

There are characteristics of Bonobo monkeys, we reflect the value of? People are infinitely more intelligent than monkeys, but we are absolutely happy? If our thoughts influence our primitive instincts, not this always happen to our advantage?

Naturalists are great efforts to save bonobos from extinction. At the turn of the 21st Century, onlya few thousand of these monkeys are still living in their natural habitat in Central Africa. Hunting by humans and deforestation, which reduces their place in the food, the most serious threats to their survival.

From what we know about the bonobo monkeys, captured four elements of our attention should be humble ability to provide resources for some traces of individuality, the tendency to avoid unnecessary costs and a limited capacity for self-protection measures taken. Consider these four ideasin detail.

[1] distribution of resources: the bonobo monkeys, like all animals, not to move at the same speed. What makes these monkeys is noteworthy that they are able, are standing on two legs over long distances on foot. Scientists estimate that about bonobo apes walk upright from ¼ time.

We do not know what he does sometimes go up and if not on all fours. The logical conclusion would be that to some extent, the bonobos are capable ofas their physical resources to match the situation.

Similarly, observers in Central Africa have stressed the bonobo monkeys divided into groups to find food more efficiently. The drive to optimize resource allocation, which is intensive in human beings, bonobos seems to be a property that we, together.

[2] model of individuality: the facial features of each Bonobo are very different, as is the case in humans. Each monkey is unique and can be distinguishedother members of the species. On the other hand, research suggests evidence of personality traits in monkeys in a complex human dimensions that could be compared.

The individuality of the bonobo is related to their family and in particular group. incestuous relationships are not held and denied intruders from other groups. For people, including our unique psychological aspects, beliefs and interests. In both cases, humans and monkeys, attemptsignoring the individual characteristics to produce stress.

[3] to avoid unnecessary costs: bonobos eat mostly plants and fruits in an environment where they live in Central Africa. Hunting, which requires much more effort in search of food plays a major role. If these monkeys go for small animals, they focus on the prey that can be easily caught and eaten quickly.

Bonobo monkey hunting, especially squirrels and small forest antelope. Prey is eaten immediately after capture. Theseviolent behavior is relatively unusual for these monkeys, as can easily be achieved by eating protein Haumana, a plant that grows in Central Africa.

When people save, the tendency to wasted effort seems to be tied to individual motivation. productivity gains in the long-term levels of demand for reflection, patience and personal commitment to contribute, not everyone is ready. However, the general tendency to avoid waste in all men.

[4], adopting theMeasures to further self-protection: the bonobo apes build nests in trees where they sleep on board at night. In their natural habitat in Central Africa, this measure proves to be highly effective protection against predators. Moreover, bonobos protect their territory against intrusion by other groups. These monkeys tend to be problems with the acquisition of steady habits, responding to consolidate the improvements.

experiments to teach in the U.S. indicates bonobo is designed to recognize wordstheir learning takes place in several stages. The signs to watch a series of sounds or of knowledge, the first group that the symbols can be taught more after it. People learn in a similar manner as foreign languages, although unpredictable at a faster rate.

Bonobo apes share the four characteristics listed above in humans, but their yield is lower in all sectors. Improvement of cognitive bonobo 'rather than in controlled experiments. Left to themselves, theseMonkeys show little ability to develop or acquire new skills.

What can we learn from bonobo apes is that their desire to benefit the environment with minimal effort seems to be innate. Bonobos are signs of individuality, try to avoid unnecessary work and are able, in a modest, self-protection measures.

How do people react to these problems monkeys in the search for solutions that provide acceptable levels of stability. The tendency to increase the efficiencyin bonobo only to the extent of their limited understanding. In men, with infinite possibilities for improvement, this trend is overwhelming.

The Da Vinci Code (DVD) Review

The Da Vinci Code is an international bestseller as a new phenomenon, but The Da Vinci Code is attached as a film by the end of the long forgotten. Directed by Ron Howard, the Hollywood veteran behind such memorable films as A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man, this adaptation of Dan Brown's religious thriller is 149 minutes monotonous and boring shows European spy thriller clichés. What Dan Brown's novels so popular is the narrative background on such issues asEncryption, secret societies, religious history and alternatives. But it is difficult to translate those ideas on the screen, and it is here that The Da Vinci Code fails as a commercial thriller.

The whole scene is composed of lectures on the history of Christianity and the life of Leonardo Da Vinci. Michael Crichton has a similar style of writing that focuses on science and modern technology, but his novels adapt better to the big screen. During the JurassicPark gave a brief hearing at the inner workings of DNA, then quickly rose to two hours of dinosaurs terrorizing people, The Da Vinci Code said, hypotheses, and conferences can only hang their audience. The ideas are interesting, but they do much better than a novel as a big-screen blockbuster. Less interesting is the conjecture that the film is nothing but a badly written 1970 spy thriller pharmacy ...

Tom Hanks plays the lead role of Robert Langdon,Harvard professor of religious symbology lecture in Paris. When Jacques Sauniere (Jean-Pierre Marielle), curator of the Louvre is found murdered and strangely positioned in his famous museum, first consult the local authorities Langdon for his expertise. But the professor, as the government learns from Sauniere's cryptographer granddaughter Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), he and the prime suspect is the same thing. Create a diversion for the police discover a hidden track, the twoknown in history created by Sauniere in the moments before his death, proof that the man she could only get the treasure it more difficult - the Holy Grail. Working closely with Interpol to leave the heels, and the real murderess still at large, Langdon and Neveu is Grail historian Leigh Teabing (Ian McKellen) to teach them the history of the protectors of the Grail, the Priory of Scion, and endless references help to unravel the promise of a mystery to discover 2000 years ...

Despite 'Observations of the most critical is the performance of Tom Hanks' is not terrible. Although her character is sweet at best, was not much to work with them. Robert Langdon, the lack of development is due to the poorly written dialogue and bad choices in direction. Ron Howard tries to cover up a bit 'too much of the dialogue with the images, but the narrative history again with flashback sequences. Audrey Tautou delivers his lines well, but suffers the same constraints asOscar-winning screen partner. The only brilliant performance by Ian McKellen as the eccentric and fascinating experts provided Grail, Leigh Teabing. Some of his one-liner comic relief, but only by opening the gushing head wound, that this film is. At the end of The Da Vinci Code is a lesson on the distinction between two different media. DVDs have replaced all the books, or vice versa, for a reason. Sometimes it's best to read the book. In the case of "The DaVinci Code, which is one of those moments ...

Criminal DNA

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid refers to the genetic material into human cells. Each person receives half the DNA from the biological mother and half from the biological father. With advances in technology, evidence of a key technology in forensic crime scene DNA to identify the biological tissue when the crimes are to find. A single hair root saliva, blood or semen can help to identify and capturedelinquents. Sweaty t-shirts, nail, urine, chewing gum, licked stamps and tissue can also check the websites. May suggest DNA may be used to make a portrait of DNA testing a. It is also useful in determining skin color and eye color. DNA fingerprinting, the genetic fingerprint is also called, is a very important tool for the identification of criminals.

Most of a person's DNA, the DNA of another gamePerson. This makes the process of differentiation between two people very difficult. Microsatellite is a particular type of DNA sequence, which simplifies the identification process. Microsatellites are small pieces of DNA that occur repeatedly in the DNA of a person. They tend to vary in a given area and the comparison helps to identify a person quite easily.

It 's almost impossible to remove all traces of a physical personPresence in a place of crime. A single cell is sufficient to identify the victims in situations where the body is completely destroyed. DNA fingerprinting is incorrect as a regular fingerprinting technique, but provides an indication to start a study.

In the post-conviction DNA testing cases, helps lawyers prove the innocence of a client. In cases where biological evidence was collected, but DNA testing was not performed earlier, it can be shown thatsubjected to DNA testing on the client to release. In cases where biological evidence was not collected or biological evidence was destroyed, confident on the basis of DNA testing, the Post is not possible.
