My Son's Got Chicken Pox
DIGITAL DERMATITIS
Each farmer has unfortunately got to know this bovine foot disease, since it is an extremely common disease in many Italian and farms still exist in almost all the stalls, where a greater or lesser. The digital dermatitis it is virtually endemic in the intensive farming of cows, much to be known around the world (joy shared is a pain, it was once). Beyond the
but recognize its existence in their herd or that of your neighbor, what really matters to us is to better understand the underlying mechanisms of its occurrence. This will really help us to minimize the unwelcome presence in his barn.
digital dermatitis (DD for friends and from here on DD also for convenience) is a highly contagious infectious disease that can get to infect more than 90% of the herd, in the absence of adequate prevention . This shockingly high percentage is not only a good book on data reported Bovine podiatry, but the real situation in which I personally find myself visiting the stalls of many farmers.
So, what is it specifically? The DD is an infectious disease, contagious caused by bacteria in soil . Which bacteria? Does not really matter. It is in fact a mix, a bell'intruglio of various bacteria in the soil where the cows just keep feet for most of the time. It is not particularly dangerous and aggressive bacteria if taken one by one or in small groups. But when the amount of these bacteria is very high, when the environmental conditions in which the cows are (in this case the characteristics of the soil) are particularly favorable to bacteria, and when the same foot of the cows are made more susceptible to infection, here when there is a combination of these phenomena (which is not difficult), then it appears the DD.
What exactly happens in the foot of a cow for example, forced to stay for several hours a day in a dirty ground, filled with feces, very wet and maybe even with a mild climate? The first thing that comes to mind: skin maceration. To put it more scientifically superficial keratin layer (the one that defends the body from all that lies outside of it) is fissure, opening the doors at the entrance of microorganisms in depth, the local pH is altered, physical barriers and chemical properties of the skin are not. Across the
rich soil moisture and nutrient content in the stool for bacteria becomes a kind of health club, a real spa. They multiply and prosper, while the feet of cows continue to marinate in the same environment. Now you're done and bacteria have the maximum benefit to make the leap: to live and joy on the feet of cows, finally causing the real DD.
How does the DD to infect more animals? First of all infected animals are exposed to the same environmental conditions, then the same factors that have an ill foot, there are very present and ready to make another ill. But it's not just that. Indeed, when DD hit a cow, this same animal becomes an "incubator" for other living bacteria. Namely the presence of a sick animal in itself increases the bacterial load of the soil and therefore increases the likelihood that other animals get sick. More animals get sick, most bacteria are killed (or deposited) in the soil. It then enters a loop self-amplification of the phenomenon.
not just one factor to blow up the DD in the herd: it takes a dirty ground, wet and possibly warm temperature. In particular, in this regard, I have noticed that the best time to see DD in a frightening upsurge of breeding "led" to this disease, both in September and October, when the temperature is not very high but begins to rain. In general, the DD is more likely during periods of little sunshine, possibly characterized by low temperatures and high humidity (as in certain Lombard weeks of winter rain, snow, fog), rather than during the summer for example, when paddoc sono così asciutti da sembrare in terra battuta.
Per quanto riguarda la componente animale, devo dare per assodati tutti quei bei discorsi triti e ritriti circa il fatto che questa malattia, come tutte le malattie, si innesca meglio quando il sistema immunitario è un po' incerto (stress, cattiva alimentazione, ecc.). Tuttavia, a parte questi soliti e ben noti concetti, volevo aggiungere un' osservazione personale. Recentemente sono stato in una stalla con una mandria di circa 60 vacche in produzione di cui 55 erano brune e 5 erano frisone. In questa stalla venivano effettuati sporadicamente i lavaggi podali. Allora: delle 55 bovine di razza bruna soltanto 3 (circa il 5%) avevano una leggera forma di DD. Delle 5 frisone invece, tutte had the DD into a medium or severe. E 'then the Friesian breed more exposed to DD for some genetic characteristic? And 'maybe the brown race, with great hardiness than the Frisian, by its nature to be resistant to DD? One of two things, or maybe both.
However, genetic or not, stress or not ... if you are with your feet all day in a wet mud filled with feces, DD maybe you are well with you.
What happens to cattle suffering from foot DD? We said that initially it is a colonization by various bacteria on the skin more or less macerated and fissured foot. The first thing evident is that the disease is quite painful and causes lameness.
When the lesions are extensive and present for a long time, you can achieve real changes in the shape of the foot and legs.
Sometimes also, when the location is at the front of the foot, dermatitis can seep under the nail resulting in widespread injury, very painful and very difficult to heal.
At these levels the DD is not only "digital", it can affect the whole skin of the foot, including unghielli. The highest
locations, where instead the rest of the foot is healthy enough, are probably due to the fact that water does not reach the tanks to disinfect the area. There is one thing that
I am interested to put your attention. A 'personal observation, however, which until now have not been reflected on any publication. I believe that dermatitis often go to infect lesions such as ulcers and white line disease (sobbattiture) delay or prevent healing. I say this for two reasons. The first is that I have noticed in recent years make it more difficult to heal lesions in stable but relatively clean with a lot of dermatitis than dirtier stalls but were adequate prophylaxis (the bathrooms were routinely podal). Secondly, for the similarity of the lesions in the skin than on live, as well as the fact that often are simultaneously present on the foot ill. This observation is not just an abstract academic disquisition but also has some interesting practical implications. In fact, in these cases applied a bandage to keep in contact with the wound an antibiotic or a disinfectant for several days (3 or 4 days, not weeks!) Helps to heal the injury. Let us remember that "the infection is the main antagonist of the healing of a wound." The principles I use are the same ones that can be used for wound dermatitis tout cort. The
specific treatment of individual cows with antibiotics applied locally is certainly important in the most serious or most difficult to heal. However, view that the explosion may have the DD in the herd, the key to solving the problem is general treatment of all animals . This treatment generally, once the phenomenon of DD in the stall has been resolved or at least content, then became prevention: a routine measure that will have just a little to do with DD. I'm talking about bathrooms podal.
Unfortunately, the confusion about this practice by the Guinness Book of Records for this and I'll try to fix some points.
1) The active baths podal The formalin has always been the first choice because not only is able to prevent the spread of disease but is able to treat injuries already joining this a very affordable price. The problem is that not only is very irritating but also carcinogenic and therefore should be handled with extreme care and only reserved for those who have post-milking in the tank away from the gate to prevent the vapors rising from the feet of cows or may be pushed into the dining-drafts can be harmful to the staff of milking. As for the dilution that is where the errors are concentrated. The corrected concentration is 2% in grams of product on a liter. The solutions are on the market are 24% and then to obtain the appropriate concentration in our tank we have to dilute it 1 / 10 or 1 every 10 liters of product water (10 liters of formalin solution in 100 of water). But I must point out that the formalin allows a few errors: decreasing the concentration quickly loses its effectiveness as well as increasing it too much (twice) there is a risk of burns (though it would be more accurate to say caustic). It is essential therefore to know the exact capacity of the tank (often calculated with an eye to gross errors). This can be determined by taking measurements using baskets or filling of 20/25 liters. A consideration of the tanks it is better to make the permanent structures of concrete curbs maybe two in a necessary step so that the animals become accustomed to their presence, rather those who use removable media. Cows often perceive them as foreign elements and being "cows" do not go there even killing. Often I stop in front of or attempt to jump, slowing down the milking or risk of injury. Regarding the measures the ideal length of the pool should allow the animal to make two steps in the solution (this unfortunately never realized) and should have a height which also cover unghielli.
With regard to the frequency with which to bathe, it also depends from case to case depending on the extent of the problem. An aggressive approach in the presence of so many sick animals can be of two consecutive days of treatment (4 steps milked in the case of 2) by substituting the appropriate disinfectant after the first 2 steps. One approach to maintenance can go down to one day a week or less depending on the response of animals and the climate. It is also to keep in mind that the effectiveness of formalin is affected by temperature: below 15 ° C rapidly lose effectiveness, making it difficult to use in winter.
The copper sulphate on the other hand is not sensitive to temperature but should be used in quantities exceeding (5-7Kg/100litri) and the disinfectant solution should be left almost always renewed, however, every other day. It is also much less effective as more active in the prevention of infection rather than in the care of sick animals. These considerations together with the very high cost of the product limit their use.
Recently, some stalls that I frequent have started using sodium hypochlorite (bleach ). With a solution of 10-15 liters per ton of water for 2 days a week, renewing the solution after two steps have obtained encouraging results although it must be said that they came from a situation with a few sick animals. The interesting thing is certainly very low cost product that combined with its low toxicity makes it easy and inexpensive to use.
There are also many products on the market whose main drawback is the cost higher or lower as farmers never fail to remember. I often hear farmers complaining that the product works a little but when I investigate how they use it to save it I find that using half the dose for half the time required by the instructions. In this case, ensure that throw your money because the product you paid for the work you did not get the results (my grandmother used to say "horns and bat!").
Also on prevention advice to those who always buy new animals to pass them off the foot-washing before placing in the group. Do not forget that we are talking about an infectious disease and as such can be introduced by carrier animals in the barn. I happened Farmers often feel that I wondered how they did it to infect the barn and talking about it turned out that just before the start of the problem had bought animals. Or as the introduction of new leaders there had been an aggravation of the problem (probably because dell'intoduzione of different bacterial strains).
2) therapy on the individual animal . Since
dermatitis superficial disease does not require injections of antibiotics, but responds very well to local therapy. The lesion should be cleaned well, better if rubbed vigorously with a piece of jute bandage clean before (watch out for kicks) so as to expose the diseased area . Normally the blue spray is fine. I prefer spraiare the area two or three times, leaving the product dry in a few seconds passed and the other in order to separate. Set fire to the spray for a few seconds (by closing the can!) Has the sole effect of reducing the drying time but has no therapeutic effect. Do not forget that bacteria are the skin and kill them with heat would burn the animal, thus creating greater damage dermatitis itself. In cases of very large or stubborn I got excellent results with a light dressing to leave at 2 or 3 days. The purpose of the bandage is in fact to keep in contact with the wound disinfectant for longer. The active ingredients that I use are the antibiotic powder and the recently iodoform powder. Both with excellent results (up to 100% of healing) although I find it more convenient to iodoform. It is not an antibiotic so I have no problems with withdrawal periods and is traded freely without prescription. Do not know about you but I got better I'm less paperwork.

The "life" of a dairy cow
Worldwide there are about 225 million cows, producing about 500 million tons of milk a year. Only in Italy in 2005 over one million and 800 thousand cows produced 10.5 million tonnes of milk (source: FAO and Eurostat data on Ismea).
To produce such quantities of milk a cow, bred according to the criteria developed in recent decades of intensive farming, is usually forced to give birth to a calf a year. This leads to a coincidence between these animals during pregnancy and lactation most of the year. Dairy cows, in fact, pregnant and lactating simultaneously for about seven months. Lactation stops just two months before the birth of the calf, but after three months of the birth of the little cow is pregnant again, through artificial insemination, and so the pregnancy-lactation cycle begins again. This overexploitation often makes the cows have calves about 2-4 before you begin to experience chronic health problems, or infertility, becoming "cull cows" and be sent to the slaughterhouse.
The puppies are 1-3 days away from its mother after birth, but continue to look for a long time after separation. The females fall in the production cycle milk, while male calves are in most cases sent to companies to "grease", although subjected to a diet low in iron so that "produce" the white veal. It is not uncommon that small farmers kill them at birth because "useless": a case in point is represented by the male calves of the buffalo, whose flesh is considered of little economic interest, which are often left to starve.
Dairy cows are led to increasing production by means of genetic selection of species, with specific diets and through the use of milking machines. Cows are usually fertilized by artificial insemination artificial embryo transfer also frequent, practice extremely painful enough to require epidural anesthesia by law. Embryo transfer is used to quickly multiply the number of cows "high quality", that is more productive.
Years of genetic selection, therefore, have meant that the cows currently produce about ten times the amount of milk needed to feed their calves, aged between 30 and 50 liters of milk per day. Due to the production of milk which they are forced, the cows are in a constant state of "starvation metabolism" so that their bodies provide the necessary energy to all their functions. In addition, the breasts are so heavy that the weight significantly affects the hind legs seriously damaged.
are very often encountered in cases of lameness in dairy cows. In addition to weight, a key factor is the fact that during the winter are often housed in post offices, in most cases too narrow to allow adequate room, so often the hind legs of the animals remain for hours in the sliding channel of wastewater, just behind the post office. Another factor is the inadequacy of the litter on which the cows lie down, and then in direct contact with the floor which causes abrasions and inflammation of the joints.
Another frequent disease of dairy cows and the occurrence of mastitis: painful bacterial infection of the udder of the main causes of which are made by automatic milking machines and poor hygienic conditions of farms. It is estimated that each year are used millions of doses of antibiotics (usually penicillin) to treat this disease, with enormous financial costs.
But the cost in pain and suffering of the animal can not be quantified, all these diseases contribute significantly to almost totally destroy their energies, so as not physically able to stand, to become what is commonly referred to as "cows on the ground" .

Walking On Water Science
the ubiquitous formaldehyde
You know that feeling to "hardcover "who have tried many clothes in the store that needs to be removed at least 2 washes the cotton and give a normal appearance?
Do you have headaches in some rooms furnished as soon as the scent of" new " ?
Here this wonderful feeling of freshness and novelty is the ubiquitous formaldehyde, formic acid aldehyde, which benefits from the many functions-as a preservative, mold, mite, anti-humidity.
Clothing products in China, wooden furniture and plywood and particle board that persist for months in warehouses and stored in containers, are literally soaked in formaldehyde, which forms an impenetrable barrier to moisture and critters. Your clothes and furniture will be protected for ever, this barrier that filters into every fiber of fabric or wood.
The short-term effects of exposure to formaldehyde are irritation of the eyes, nasal and throat, and skin manifestations , visual disturbances, nausea, eczema, fact gas is irritating to mucous membranes and potentially carcinogenic. The long-term effects are mainly cancers of the upper respiratory tract (nose and sinuses) and asthma.
Now you can avoid it, here's how :
Check the components of building materials and finishing products detergenti e per la manutenzione. Preferire materiali da finitura esenti da solventi sintetici e arredi realizzati in legno massiccio, con ridotto uso di colle, o in prefiniti esenti da formaldeide. Se per questioni economiche si acquistano arredi realizzati in pannelli truciolari, esigere almeno la certificazione E1 (basso contenuto di formaldeide).

How Long Do Pulled Knee Ligaments Take To Mend?
Battle for the 'Water
Alessandro Bolognesi

What will happen when will the oil? How will the economic system that in effect our government to stand up for what he'll do that part of the war to conquer the rest of the industrialized world after finishing the 'element that so far has generated?
The answer that I gave myself by asking these questions is as easy as chilling, and after the 'gold Black, who will again lead our narrow neck just enough to let us breathe, but not enough to make us move will be the 'water.
Over the past thirty years 'the' water has declined by 40 percent, it is estimated that in 2020 when the world population touches eight billion third share of this will not have access.
200 million children already die each year from diseases caused by consumption of contaminated water in the heart of the world where the 'blue gold has always been the primary weapon used by political and economic systems to maintain their control.
Now we waste, pollute with all kinds of crap, wash 's car at Saturday' s drinking water, let it go down the toilet roll of 9 liters per flush, they use awful lot to cool the nuclear reactors (France uses 40 percent of 'water-consuming to cool their own).
So while running towards the privatization here in Italy, I wonder how long it will take you to the big corporations that govern us and pollute water supplies with many of their industrial waste to come into possession of drinking rather than making us fall quickly towards an oligopoly as is now the energy.
's water is a primary good, those who will have control will be master of the world and in the near future, the choice that we could find to do will not be among the wash and drink, but el between drinking water the field to produce the grain .
In the near future if we allow the privatization of 'water we could find ourselves in a situation where it could not guarantee our children and our grandchildren' s essential to life.
That future might not be so far away.

The decrease is not as bad multinationals
Marino Badiale , Massimo Bontempelli
L’idea (o slogan) della decrescita è una componente essenziale di un pensiero critico capace di confrontarsi con la situazione del mondo contemporaneo, e di interagire con una possibile nuova pratica politica adeguata ai gravissimi problemi attuali. Il punto di partenza del pensiero della decrescita è la ritrovata consapevolezza, annullata nel senso comune da qualche secolo di capitalismo, che i concetti di bene economico e di merce non sono identici: beni (intesi anche come servizi) sono i prodotti del lavoro umano che soddisfano determinati bisogni e necessità, merci sono, tra quei beni, quelli inseriti in un mercato monetario con un prezzo di vendita, e acquisibili, quindi, soltanto pagando quel prezzo. In termini logici, sono due concetti interconnessi, ma non coestensivi. La distinzione chiaramente riecheggia quella, introdotta dagli economisti classici e ripresa da Marx, fra valore d’uso e valore di scambio. Quando si parla di crescita si intende la crescita della sfera della circolazione di merci, quindi della sfera di compravendita di beni e servizi dotati di un prezzo. Quando si parla di decrescita si intende la diminuzione del raggio di questa sfera.
La decrescita è necessaria per risparmiare all’umanità la gravissima crisi di civiltà alla quale ci sta portando l’attuale organizzazione economica e sociale, che ha nella crescita il dogma che can not be questioned. There is now a growing awareness of the fact that there can be unlimited growth on a planet whose resources are limited, and that have now been achieved (and exceeded) the "limits to growth." But beyond that, you must also provide another level of awareness: the economic growth of recent decades has been achieved with the destruction of the achievements of the welfare state and a trend towards reduction of the operating logic of the social totality to the logic of profit and the market. In this way, capitalist development not only destroys nature, it also destroys all forms of social cohesion and the same mental balance of individuals. The decline, opposition to this development as a carcinogen, is therefore a necessary step to save human civilization. It must not be regarded as a harsh and unpleasant necessity. The decrease is not impoverished: it is defined, as we noted above, in terms of reduction of goods and not necessarily of goods. The decrease does not, in principle, the decrease in goods and services used by the population. Rather involves a rethinking and reorganization of production and consumption, encouraging, to name a few, property obtained by the self or non-market trade, goods produced with production local goods scheduled to last and to be easily recycled at the end of their cycle of use. This obviously entails a profound change in lifestyle of the people, but not their depletion. For example, involves a drastic reduction of the size of the fashion and advertising items that are considered obsolete yet fully functional, but also the general decrease of working hours (defined as paid work) in order to allow self-handling of part of goods and the care of human relations and community relations, within which may be non-market exchanges of goods and services.
To examine this issue, the fact namely, that the decrease is not depleted, we must reflect on the concept of poverty. The error that is commonly made at all levels, is to define poverty in terms of numbers of a level of monetary income. Any newspaper article on poverty in the world will always contain the reference to the fact that "the world there are x million people living on less than two dollars a day," where exactly is meant that the "poverty" is defined quantitatively by having a income of less than two dollars a day. It is, as we said above, a mistake: poverty is defined in terms of quality, social and historical, and not quantified. Two people equally poor according to the quantitative definition, that is the same (low) level of monetary income, can live in such a situation completely differently depending on social context. For example, there may be, as at certain times of the Middle Ages, situations where the poor are respected, and above all poverty is considered a possible human conditions, not the expression of a personal failure as now. So the poor, helped financially by charitable behavior is not episodic and not humiliating, is not poor in our sense of the word. But to come closer consideration to the issue of decline, we think the situation of a farmer English low social status at the stage where he can enjoy a range of common property (forests, pastures), and compare it with the next phase in which the commons have been appropriated by large landowners (the famous enclosures which has laid great stress on Marx). It is clear that in both situations, the same monetary income is combined with a material situation is very different, because in the former case the farmer has the ability to integrate a low monetary income with goods and services to which access without going through the monetary exchange For the latter case, this possibility no longer exists. For one final example, consider the condition in which they were once the servants who lived in the house of the owners: they had a right to a home, food, the clothes often, and a lack of monetary income. Such a low income, together with the condition of a servant, being involved certainly in the bottom of the social hierarchy, but not a condition of misery, as it would have had if the same money income, or even a slightly higher, were to be used for purchasing food and paying rent 1. We can then
now more easily understand the error of the common discourse on poverty, which identifies it with an income of less than two dollars a day. The point is that two dollars a day may indicate a situation in which you live, or may indicate the most desperate poverty, according to social conditions. If people live within a subsistence economy in which food and other goods are produced and traded outside the market mechanism, life with less than two dollars per day may be possible and can even be rich, not from the material point of view but from the point of view of human relations. But if people live on less than two dollars a day in a situation where access to basic goods like food and water is mediated by money, then you really are in a desperate situation. The point is that
what is commonly called the "development of poor countries' economies is essentially the transition from non-monetary subsistence to cash economies: as we have just said, then it is highly likely that the effect of this development is the creation of genuine poverty, despair , untenable, instead of a situation in which individuals and communities could survive (of course with less ease than those to which we Westerners are used) 2. These observations are among others the response to an argument that recurs frequently in discussions on the decline, according to which the thesis that the decline might be a good idea for developed countries but is impractical in poor countries. The answer is therefore that growth is destructive both in developed countries than in underdeveloped, and the decrease is a strategy of salvation for all humanity 3.
Another aspect to keep in mind when we talk about poverty is that poverty always has a comparative aspect: it is more or less poor in relation to the status of the average company in which we live and the goods it considers it necessary to possess. Always pushing the purchase of new items, the current economic system creates new forms of poverty, because not everyone can buy. Today many people would call povere spendono parte del loro scarso reddito per acquisti come quello del telefono cellulare: bisogna averlo perché tutti ce l’hanno, lo usano e danno per scontato che tutti debbano essere attraverso di esso rintracciabili, quindi senza di esso ci si sente più poveri. La società basata sulla crescita genera quindi povertà, da un lato perché genera bisogni cui non tutti possono accedere, dall’altro perché è organizzata in modo da rendere necessari certi acquisti. Questo è ciò che capita se per esempio scompaiono i piccoli negozi e sono disponibili solo supermercati lontani da casa, rendendo così necessaria l’automobile, oppure se a poco a poco si trasferiscono su internet gran parte della transazioni of everyday life, and requires the purchase of computer and its continuous updating.
The identification of decline and impoverishment thus arises from a misconception of poverty, an idea which has been made to disappear all the historically and socially determined aspects of poverty.
Similarly, one must distinguish between contraction and recession. The recession is a decline in GDP in a framework of commodification of the economy unchanged and, more generally, of social configuration. Recession means then that the individual always has the same needs as before (the car needs, asylum pay for children to keep changing to follow the fashion clothing and so on), but no longer has a monetary income to meet these needs, so it's poor.
The decrease, however, is a qualitative change, not just quantity. Decrease means that the GDP declined for two reasons. Firstly, certain assets that were previously produced as goods are produced goods are not as commercialized or are goods but include lower costs for transportation and advertising (which should be abolished). Secondly change the structure of needs: if there are health posts throughout the area providing free services of good quality, does not feel the need of health care private, and who has no money for this does not feel poor. If a district is equipped to have a social life, self-sufficient, not resulting in a need to go look for a nightclub to a hundred miles away, and who is unable to do so does not feel poor. The choice of the decrease is essentially the choice of a sober life, which once reached the fulfillment of a set of basic needs are not trying, as it does today, the compulsive and destructive consumption of more and more objects, but the real research wealth that we are missing today: the time to build relationships and rich human relationships meaningful communication.
The difference between contraction and recession also includes the observation that the recession is an automatism of the market economy: are necessarily involved, given certain initial conditions. By contrast, the decrease is a project that should be actively pursued, and certainly do not will be established automatically.
If you understood all this, then it is easy to understand how the decrease represents a revolutionary project, the only genuine revolutionary project available.
In fact, the capitalist economic organization encourages the commodification of every aspect of social reality and the natural one: it is a mechanism required for the expanded reproduction of the creation of surplus value. Who wants to wants to halt and reverse the decline questa tendenza, e quindi ha una posizione anticapitalistica, anche se la coscienza di questo non sembra essere pienamente chiara in coloro che la sostengono e neppure nei critici anticapitalisti della decrescita stessa.
La confusione fra decrescita e povertà, o fra decrescita e recessione, è in ultima analisi un prodotto dell’attuale egemonia del capitalismo. Si tratta del fatto che all’interno della società capitalistica appare del tutto inconcepibile una società che produca e consumi secondo una logica non mercantile. La decrescita appare inconcepibile, oppure concepibile solo come una sventura, perché il nostro immaginario è dominato da un’idea di povertà and wealth, and life in general and humanity, forged by capitalism. The anti-capitalist struggle today must be a struggle against this imagery.
* 1. To avoid misunderstandings, we point out that we are not doing propaganda to the condition of the family home, which was still a subordinate social status and could be accompanied by coldness or hardness in human relationships. We are simply pointing out that the same quantitative level of monetary income is compatible with the actual conditions of life very different.
2. Of course, the real dynamic of 'development' in poor countries may be very different depending on different situations. There may be cases in which the Development does not have any negative consequences that potentially could have. We are not here investigating certain cases, we are making general remarks on the concept of "poverty".
3. With these observations do not of course mean to say that subsistence economies, still widespread in the countries 'poor', must be preserved as they are, but simply to suggest that genuine human progress in those countries should take place without following the typical model of universal commodification of capitalism.

Formula For Recuring.deposit
impoverishment of the world
employees are underpaid. The animals that provide meat burgers are forced to continue pregnancies and are pumped full of antibiotics and drugs. The whole "advertising policy" of the multinational seeks to involve and convince children (with gifts, promotions and gadgets). And, of course, when the child breaks his balls because he wants to go to McDonald's, there goes the whole family. Three birds with one cheesburger. The campaign against this

Fino al 1998 finanziava gli scienziati perché effettuassero studi da cui risultava che il fumo passivo non era nocivo. Solo nel 1999 ha ammesso che il fumo fa male. Nel 1997 ha accettato, insieme ad altre multinazionale del tabacco di pagare 206 milioni di dollari (in 25 anni) per risarcire lo stato delle spese sostenute per curare i malati "di fumo".

Both Hypothyroidism And Hyperthyroidism
Nutrition and Cancer
Nutrition and Cancer
We are made of what we eat ... .. and therefore we should choose for our body the best foods: for our health, to feel in form and especially for the prophylaxis of true tragedy of this century: cancer. Over exposure to mutagens (especially smoking and air pollution) but also the abuse of refined foods and too high in fat, the incidence of cancer has doubled in recent decades. But if we can do little against the benzene of our cities, we can do a lot in our house for both prophylaxis and for treatment of cancer: we begin to say what foods to avoid, because leaders of some forms of cancer.
Foods to avoid
First, the excess of saturated fat: and then the excesses of meat and sausages (sometimes containing nitrates as preservatives) responsible for colon cancer real plight of thousands of people every year, especially people who take small quantities of fibers such as a preference. white bread or pasta forget the usefulness of bran bread. serious mistake and then cook the meat on the grill : This type of cooking in fact free of carcinogens, as it is also wrong abuse fries: the high temperature free acrolein in fact highly carcinogenic substance. Food sott'accusa are also very sweet and sugary drinks , their abuse can help to trigger a reaction mutagenic carcinogen.
also Avoid alcohol abuse. Salt
The salt (sodium chloride) and salt nuts (monosodium glutamate) are rich in a very dangerous molecule that is able to give the sodium retention, fatigue and heart hypertension. Unfortunately, only a few years ago too, the salt is present on our tables, was once a rare spice so much so that the soldiers were paid with it (hence the word salary). The abuse of salt is always negative, and unfortunately it is very easy to abuse because of salt ce n'è molto anche quando non lo vediamo. Sale infatti è presente in tutti i cibi inscatolati o conservati, nei succhi di frutta, nelle caramelle, nei salumi, nei biscotti , nel pane e così via. Superare dunque la soglia di pericolo è facilissimo. Consigliabile dunque salare meno possibile. L'eccesso di sale favorirebbe alcuni tipi di tumore (stomaco e pancreas).
Ma queste sono cose che sanno un pò tutti :la cosa affascinante è invece il diffondersi nei media delle notizie scientifiche che una volta tanto coincidono con la medicina naturale e cioè l'importanza dei cibi come vera terapia di tante patologie. Cibi consigliati
Recently it has been found in some vegetables (especially tomatoes ) the presence of lycopene molecules capable of blocking the mad geniuses capable of triggering the mutation carcinogen: and here reflect on how many people are misled by foolish fashions fake medicine that has removed tomatoes from their diet because food (they say) allergies: food allergies in general are very rare and tomatoes are among the least responsible for food allergies. If anything, if a tomato produces allergic reactions, probably due to an abuse of pesticides with which the plant has been treated, so many tomatoes, but in season and earned the sun never eat un ortaggio o un frutto fuori stagione. Ancora più potere anticancro hanno tre ortagg : le brassicacee (cavoli), le cipolle e l'aglio. Personalmente nei mie venti anni di medico naturista ho usato il cavolo nelle più disparate patologie: come antisettico, come terapia nelle ulcere venose, come cataplasma nelle distorsioni; e adesso molte riviste scientifiche parlano di questi tre ortaggi come vera arma nella profilassi dei tumori: e questo i medici naturisti di un tempo lo avevano sempre sostenuto esaltando soprattutto il potere del solfuro di allile presente nell'aglio: ricordo un medico francese che agli scettici dell'aglio diceva: try to close a cockroach in a bottle with two cloves of garlic sulfides will kill him within hours, as well as kill germs and bacteria.
is also very useful as antibacterial THE ONION used for centuries in the typical Mediterranean dishes eg.: anchovies in the poor the only dish that allows you to eat raw fish (almost neutered by the heavy use of onion and lemon juice) can offer large quantities of omega three acids that science is being used as deadly weapon cancer. Acids are mostly found in fatty fish (sardines, mackerel, salmon) and for their strong and robust flavor (especially salmon) can also be used in meals children, perhaps in tasty kibble. omega acids molecules are also considered real prejudice because of their power anticholesterol heart. But the biggest surprises on the therapy of cancer have come from the study of some legumes, especially soy and some vegetables now available only in some remote inn of the south: Dolič ; and beans. The phospholipids of these legumes (once called the meat of the poor for their high nutritional value), held once become part of our cells, the role of butler letting only the molecules beneficial and excluding those dangerous and potentially carcinogenic. Soy reserved even more surprises: its high content of genistein (plant estrogens) in herbal medicine has allowed a wide use of these molecules in the whole sphere endocrine female menopause and treatment of breast cancer . Even more surprising discovery of resveratrol grape as anti-fledged feast for lovers of red wine who knows how to be responsible for the French paradox : ie: the French eat twice fat Americans, but the cardiovascular events are less than half, thanks to a good glass of red wine per meal just of resveratrol.
Herbs anticancer
But the plant world is increasingly full of surprises: many hopes are pinned in cancer therapy by the use of 'aloe that an Israeli doctor used for years as cancer, know this plant for years and I have no direct experience of it in the field of cancer, but I can tell you that I am using for some time for the headache with surprising results. Also in the field of medicinal plants has been known for centuries the power of anti-cancer green tea that exerts anti-cancer activity through the action of its catechins, real life-saving molecules. cooking methods
Also important is the way in which foods are cooked ; just one example: fried potatoes with good olive oil means lead to a very high temperature with a plant that has not itself no fat molecules capable of becoming dangerous, and if you fry eggs, fish or meat, we bring a very hot foods rich in fats hydrogenated molecules can become dangerous. So we use light cooking methods.
BEST METHODS OF COOKING
- Steaming;
- BOLLITIURA;
- stove;
- Baking;
WORST COOKING METHODS
- FRYING: free acrolein;
- cooking on the grill (the free benizopirene, a molecule highly carcinogenic);
- PRESSURE COOKER: The high temperature of the food is subjected destroys vitamin C.
- microwave cooking;
RULES ARE NOT FORGET
- maintain a healthy weight (excess weight may favor certain types of cancer);
- maintain varied diet;
- eat plenty of fruits and vegetables;
- eat many vegetables and grains;
- limit the consumption of alcohol;
- limit consumption of salt and smoke
This says the latest scientific research, is to we apply beginning with small things, especially in feeding our children vegetables at least twice a week, soups, vegetables, fish and much bread and tomatoes for a snack we will have a big gain in health, and economical. APHORISM
Often my patients ask me what to do in an ideal way to eat, I say always with this aphorism: to pretend, when you go shopping, you have little money and when you pretend you are at home (maybe it's true) that they have little time to cook: have little money to buy things means that cost less (legumes, vegetables, cereals, fish) and avoid things that cost a lot (sausages, alcohol, fatty cheeses, smoked foods, canned foods and or-cooked). want to have little time to cook say eat raw everything you can (almost all the cooked vegetables lose vitamins by heat, the raw keep intact all the wealth of vitamins and minerals) food overcooked or gravies and processed are heavy and indigestible. A beautiful fish requires boiled twenty minutes, the meat in sauce to make lasagna might require hours of cooking a food becoming so heavy.

APHORISM
Often my patients ask me what to do in an ideal way to eat, I say always with this aphorism: to pretend, when you go shopping, you have little money and when you pretend you are at home (maybe it's true) that they have little time to cook: have little money to buy things means that cost less (legumes, vegetables, cereals, fish) and avoid things that cost a lot (sausages, alcohol, fatty cheeses, smoked foods, canned foods and or-cooked). want to have little time to cook say eat raw everything you can (almost all the cooked vegetables lose vitamins by heat, the raw keep intact all the wealth of vitamins and minerals) food overcooked or gravies and processed are heavy and indigestible. A beautiful fish requires boiled twenty minutes, the meat in sauce to make lasagna might require hours of cooking a food becoming so heavy.
