What is influenza? Influenza, commonly known as the “flu”, is an acute viral infection of the respiratory tract caused by influenza viruses. There are three types of seasonal influenza viruses – A, B and C. The 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) virus (hereafter referred to as A(H1N1)2009) which appeared for the first time in 2009 causing a global influenza pandemic, is now a seasonal influenza virus that co-circulates with other seasonal viruses (namely influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B viruses). Influenza viruses can cause disease in persons of any age, but overall rates of illness are highest in children. Usually, rates of severe illness and death are highest in persons aged ≥ 65 years; children aged ≤ 2 years, women who are pregnant or postpartum (within 2 weeks after delivery) and persons of any age with underlying medical conditions (risk factors) which increase the risk for influenza-related complications. However, about one third of patients with severe A (H1N1)2009 illness requiring admission to ICU worldwide in 2009 were previously healthy persons with no identified risk factors. Transmission The virus is spread from person-to-person. It can be passed to other people by exposure to infected droplets expelled by coughing or sneezing that can be inhaled, or that can contaminate hands or surfaces. To prevent spread, people who are ill should: Practice cough etiquette by covering their mouth and nose with a disposable tissue when coughing or sneezing, then discarding the tissue in a receptacle and performing hand hygiene (washing hands with soap and water or the use of an alcohol-based hand rub). Stay home when they are unwell and keep some distance from healthy people, as much as possible.

Unrealistic Expectation of Others Can Reveal You’re Relationship with Your Self Most of us have seen or heard the following statement, ‘It is impossible to love others for whom they are, if you do not accept and love your self first’. The question is, do you, or why should you believe this statement? I have read a lot of information concerning this matter, and although each author expresses the same theme in their own particular way, this extract below from Inspirational Author, Dr. John F. Demartini’s book, “The Heart of Love” gave me that ‘let me just read that again’ food for thought, as it challenged quite a lot of my own values. It would be interesting to hear your comments, not on the Author, only about this particular excerpt. “If you are ready to let go of the dream of loved ones who don’t have so-called flaws, then you are ready for something even greater than the fantasy: fulfillment! This means that you’re willing to stop imagining that you’ll parent idealised kids, who are independent... yet always considerate and kind, and obedient. You’ll quit expecting a lover to be constantly sexy, turned on, and available (never tired, irritable, or uninterested). You’ll no longer cling to the idea of the mythical spouse who’s loyal, supportive, and non judgemental. In essence, fulfillment comes from, appreciating both sides, happiness and sadness, everything that you or society has misidentified as “good” and “bad”. It comes from observing your own illusions, acknowledging that your own perceptions create your experiences, and being willing to look beyond this to recognise what you and everyone else are really seeking... which is love. Seeking fulfillment means looking for love. Yet, as the Great Masters’ assures us, there’s no search to be done. You must simply wake up and see you already have it and who you are. All of us are an expression of love. We’re also independent and dependent, kind and cruel, obedient and unruly, and so on. No one has only positive traits; and the minute you start wishing for someone who does, or start believing that’s what you or another person should be, you’re living in a fantasy. But when you start loving whatever parts of yourself you’ve previously disowned, then you can embrace them in the world too. Acknowledge that your disowned self shows up again and again in the mirror of your relationships!” Take time this weekend to reflect on your challenges and see what the mirrors were and then give infinite love & gratitude to them for the lessons! This way you get to bring yourself into balance and balance brings you into the present and the present connects you to your heart and your heart connects you to your soul and your soul connects you to Divinity! When you are connected to Divinity, the light of the soul illuminates your path! With Infinite Love & Gratitude, we look forward to hearing from you.

Herbs for sex – ladies For women my favourite herb is Shatavari, for she “who possesses a hundred husbands” given as a rejuvenative tonic for the reproductive system, reducing vaginal atrophy and dryness. Blood flow to the hypogastric-vaginal and clitoral arterial bed is also increased with herbs that enhance nitrous oxide synthesis. Phytooestrogenic herbs such as Fennel and Cayenne stimulate the receptor zones along the pudendal nerve with a vasoprotective and dilatory effect, increasing vaginal, clitoral and urethral arterial flow. However this is not a “home remedy”! Where vaginismus or dyspareunia (pain on intercourse) is prevalent herbs that relax the smooth muscle and the levator ani muscles of the vagina and the pelvis can be useful, such as Ginger, Crampbark and Wild yam which acts as an antispasmodic. Monk’s pepper works on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, balancing the oestrogen-progesterone ratio with a dopaminergic effect on the pituitary. This herb is used in the treatment of premenstrual and peri-menopausal states. Licorice acts as an adrenal tonic and works on low DHEA levels, great in combination with Puncture vine for its androgen increasing properties and for treating low vitality, low energy, low oestrogen, low libido, hot flushes and stress, the common presentations in menopause. Including plenty of phytooestrogens in the diet such as sprouts, legumes and tofu can provide significant nutritional nourishment. Emotional, intellectual, and relationship factors are critical in the treatment of any sexual issues, where the brain is the crux of the sexual response and motivational drive. Equally integral are positive self-esteem and body image along with the ability to communicate sexual and emotional needs to your partner. A healthy libido is a natural adaptation to a healthy relationship. Any anger in a relationship or overwhelming life experience requires expression, time and a supportive environment within which to heal. Herbal treatment may be used to great effect, but ideally should be done in consultation with a phytotherapist to obtain the right herbs to treat your individual condition and circumstances. As always it is critical to ensure that any herbs you take are not contraindicated with regards to other medication.

Health – Sexuality – Spirituality
for multi-level Seminars and Associate Instructor Certification Training with UHT Faculty Coordinator Rentao Ravasio and African Instructor Team
24 September – 2 October 2011 Since time immemorial, human beings have questioned life and death, searching for answers concerning the origin of the universe and the cycles of nature. In this age, an increasing number of people want to know how to achieve a complete and harmonious health in body, mind and spirit. The Universal Healing Tao (UHT) is a practical system of techniques developed over thousands of years in the quest for answers to these questions. During this long period of time the practices were refined and tested by Taoist masters and millions of people. They lead to a deeper understanding and experience of the rhythms of our body and the universe. Brought to the west by Grandmaster Mantak Chia, the UHT is a practical system of self-development that enables the individual to complete the harmonious evolution of the physical, mental and spiritual planes leading to the achievement of spiritual independence. Through a series of meditative and internal energy exercises, the practitioner learns to increase physical energy, release tension, improve health, practice self-defence and gain the ability to heal oneself and others. The cultivation, transformation and conservation of sexual energy is essential for the work required in advanced Taoist practice. Mastery in this field of practice produces a deep sense of respect for all forms of life. For more details contact Sharon uht.africa@gmail.com

Common Cold or Flu As the season changes and we move into winter we find that our immune systems start faltering. In understanding the difference between the presentation of a cold or flu one only needs to look at the symptoms you have. A cold and flu has different symptoms and for that reason the treatment is based on the symptoms one displays. One also needs to be aware of the symptoms being that of either a bacterial cause or a viral, as the treatment would be different for each. Cold symptoms: Stuffy head, caused by nasal congestion, Headache, Watery eyes, Itching in eyes, nose & throat and in some cases a fever. Flu symptoms: Fever and chills, Exhaustion, Body aches & pains, Congestion, Head ache, Sore throat, Coughing. For this reason both the above presentations would benefit from Regular Doses of Vitamin C to boost the immune system, as well as Bettamed (cleanse and recover). These can be added to you drinking water as a means of increasing your daily consumption which would have needed to be increased during times of infection. For the Flu symptoms one can use formulas which contain Sambucus nigra (Elderberry), Viscim album (Misteltoe), Commiphora mol mol (Myrrh), Thymus vulgaris (Thyme), ginger root, garlic oil capsules as a natural antibiotic (even warmed slightly and put on cotton wool overnight and left in the ear in case of ear ache), Olive leaf extract also be used to decrease the severity of symptoms. The common cold is minimized rather effectively if one starts using herbal remedies at the sign of onset. Echineaca is a popular natural remedy used in this case, as well as Zinc with chelated Selenuim, which increased white blood cells in the sight of infection. Instead of using a nasal spray, one can steam with an aromatic oil base (Eucalyptus oil, Vicks or anything menthol based) – a teaspoon of the product is placed in boiling water, cover the head with a towel and breathe in the steam in order to open the nasal passages. This is better done at night and you are able to get straight into bed. One can also have a luke warm Epsom salt bath (1x cup in the bath) with during the time of infection (be careful it does make the bath slippery). This is not recommended in the case of patients with Hypertension. A Netti nasal pot can be used in order to rinse the nasal passages. The use of a homeopathic nasal spray (ask your local health shop) is encouraged so that you are able to use it more frequently throughout the day. Also inhaling gently with salt water into each nostril from the palm of your hand also cleanses the nasal passages. During this period rest is generally what the body needs. Increase your intake of fresh diluted vegetable juices, soups and herb teas. Avoiding simple sugars, coffee and dairy products which decrease the immune system response when you would be needing it the most. Dr. Melissa Brown, Naturopath www.melincaclinic.co.za 072-549-4938
True Freedom from Asthma is a Reality While many of us take breathing for granted, asthmatics live with the knowledge that every breath is a gift. Because people with allergies, blocked nose, asthma, panic attacks and sleep apnoea all have difficulty with breathing, it stands to reason that this should be the first port of call in addressing the problem, yet most methods of asthma and allergy control focus only on reducing triggers and opening airways. In 1954 a Russian doctor, Constantin Buteyko, developed a method of breath “re-training” which has helped millions of people worldwide regain control over their health. And while his research has often been used without his permission to sell all manner of “Buteyko” breathing devices, his true method employs only a simple breathing technique which even children can master. Buteyko has undergone many clinical trials which have consistently proven that asthmatics can reduce their reliance on medication a relatively short space of time. Because it is the only drug free alternative for asthma that has been conclusively proven to be effective, this technique is recommended by the UK NHS to people seeking an alternative to drug therapy. In a five day Buteyko workshop which will take only 90 mins of your time each day, you can learn how to gain better control over your asthma, unblock your nose, reduce your symptoms – thereby dramatically reducing your need for medication, and gain true freedom and empowerment over your condition. And because asthmatics and allergy sufferers are offered so many false hopes, I give a money back guarantee. I know that Buteyko works, so if you follow the programme that I set out for you and experience no positive changes in your condition after a few weeks, I’ll give you a full refund.
