A Disease Which Frightens Senior Citizens

Alzheimer is a common form of dementia., general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life activities. About 80 to 60 % of this disease accounts cases. Another definition-a neurological disorder in which the death of brain cells memory loss and congnitive decline, a neurodegenerative type of Dimentia. It starts mild and gets progressively. At 2010 statistical report by Alzheimer Associations in US, 4.7 millions are affected for ages 65 and above. In 2013 census, 10% of 65 years old are affected and more to 85 and above. Dimentia  are of different kinds. But it all derived from Alzheimer. It is a brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Old age doesn’t mean to have this kind of disease. Though age 65 are common age being found having this, it is not acquired of being old. Even at early age of 40s or 50s it often occurs symptoms to almost 5% of people. It worsen...

BIZZAIRE BODIES-YET PRECIOUS TO GOD’S EYES

Others addresses them as crippled person, unique and other terms. But for me I treat them as special people of God and is precious to Him. They are loved by Him.     Huh? Loved by Him? If they are love why are they suffering for their condition? Being laughed at, ridiculed, insults as if out of this world creatures. Yes, maybe that is what is inside minds of many. If only they know God, worship Him, they will understand why there are people who are like them. In the minds and hearts of parents who had and have children such as these people, taught they are a curse to them. I pity them for poor understanding the will of God. As I look on pictures of these poor people with the most deformed cases, can’t hold myself in tears and pity for them. It’s not their own fault, nor their parent’s faults either, I believe. Nor it it’s God’s fault, for we can’t question Him. He knows best the very reason of their existence. Even I myself doesn’t know the very ...

DOCTORS ARE JUST HUMAN

We highly regard doctors because they the person we ran to whenever we are in need of medical attention. Many people depend their health upon doctor’s advices. It’s so alarming knowing there are numbers of medical practitioners who lost patience in life. In one items I read, felt frustrated tagging doctors as the most miserable profession. Imagine, 300 physicians commit suicide every year. Nine out of ten doctors discourage others to go on their profession. Labeling it as the second most suicidal occupation. It seems that America has a great disagreement against physicians, where in the end losers are patients and physicians. A reason why many opt for high paying specialties for them to retire as quickly as possible. The insurance problems, difficulty dealing with insurers has caused many physicians to close their practices and become employees. To make both ends meet, physicians had to increase the number of patients they see. Face- to- face clinic visit lasts now on...

TAKING A LOOK WITH KINDNESS TO AUTISM

As I open my face book, my attention was struck by CBS News caption about this young lady name Jennifer Msumba, spectrum autism patient, where she received painful electric shocks aimed at modifying her behavior. Patients are being strapped spread like eagle to restraint board and shocked multiple times. In an interview with CBS reporter, she speaks loudly of her horrible experience she suffered in this kind of treatment. Using an electric shock. She wish at that moment of session that her heart stop breathing, to die instead at that moment so they can’t hurt them anymore. She testified on U.S. Food And Drug Administration panel to ban using electrical stimulation devices to modify aggressive or self- injurious behavior and developmental behavior for severe problems having this. If children and adults stop from that severe behavior, then it is stop. Msumba wears a fanny- backpack device for 24 hours. A device that is attached to electrodes that delivers a shock whene...

My Mother In Law- How Do I Love Thee?

Mother in laws and daughter in laws seldom goes well with each other. I’m not sure, but this is base only on my own observations I had seen. I don’t have read yet any survey regarding how many percent of mother in laws and daughter in laws are in good or in bad relationships. I can’t blame either parties, two women merge under one roof with different kind of family ties. Good are those whose mother of the groom really wanted the girl or the other way around. Different race intermarriage often resulted to indifference of couples. That is, if parents of one parties live with the new couple. Problem arises coming from different factors. Sometimes, living in one family compound is another contributor. Relatives who are fond of bothering other lives, but don’t dare about them. If the woman is rich, not a much to worry, she is well look up by relatives and parents of the groom. My brother was a US navy then, met and married to a Filipina also. But this woman did not treat ...
