What causes illness?


Some causes to think about: food (modern farming, fertiliser, accelerated growth, lack of mineral - non-organic, food additives), lifestyle, emotional turmoil, environment (electrogmagnetic such as mobile phone, artifical lighting, smoke, chemical), amount chemical we put on our bodies and not enough natural body lotions, etc. Karma (based our previous life actions, actions committed earlier in this life), thoughts (negative toward oneself and others - as the subconcious can not tell difference).

If most agree, why are accepting all this??
Viruses & bacteria are not cause of illness as most studies have proven it. Simple observation, why all people get affected by the virus, even when found in their bodies?????????

Illness (sometimes referred to as ill-health) can be defined as a state of poor health.

WHO (world health organisation) defines health as a state of physical, mental and social equilibrium. If this equillibrium is broken then we are deemed to be unwell or have an illness.

However to some extent we are responsible for our own wellbeing ie if you know something is going to make you unwell be it now or in the future then you shouldnt use/consume it etc

But there are somethings we just are unable to control such as the amount of bacteria/viruses in the atmosphere (unless you live in a protective bubble), mental illness - some pple have a genetic link to some mental illnesses, Social factors, such as divorce, living conditions, lifestyle, for some pple they just live in a vicious circle they cannot get out of (debatable some might say) but we have to look at the bigger picture.

Sorry ive gone off on one, ill shut up now!! End of lecture/essay.

A Detailed Look at Collagen Skin Care and the Different Types of Collagen Based Treatments

Collagen skin care seems to be the buzzword these days. People understand the importance of collagen and elastin and the role they play in skin health. So, they are into all sorts of collagen based treatments - collagen pills, collagen injections, and collagen creams and lotions. Just how effective are these treatments? Let us take a look.

Collagen pills - When you take pills or dietary supplements that contain collagen, it is definitely good for your health. This is because collagen forms nearly 30% of your body's total protein content. When you take these pills, the protein content in these pills gets distributed to different organs in your body that need it.

The problem, however, is that it does not help your skin in anyway. So, though it is one of the most sought after collagen treatments, it is not as effective as most people think.

Collagen injections - When you get one of these shots, you can find a sudden improvement in your skin condition. Sadly, it lasts only for a few weeks. After that, you need to get another shot. They are expensive, painful, and they cause some side effects as well. So, if you are looking for a safe and effective collagen skin care treatment, this is certainly not a good choice.

Collagen creams and lotions - Seriously, I have lost count of the number of people who think applying creams and lotions that contain collagen will improve their skin condition somehow. This is by far the biggest myth perpetrated by skin care companies all over the world.

Your skin, or anyone else's skin for that matter, is not capable of absorbing collagen from creams or lotions. The only way to increase the amount of natural proteins is to stimulate the skin cells to create more of them. So, these creams and lotions are an utter waste of money.

Now that we know a little about collagen treatments that do not work, let us take a look at something that actually works and gives you the results you want.

Organic anti aging creams - Using good anti aging creams is the best way to increase the level of collagen and elastin in the skin. You can use products which contain natural powerful substances like cynergy TK, coenzyme Q10, wakame, and active manuka honey which are known for their anti aging properties. These can stimulate the cells in your skin to produce more natural proteins - a fact which has been well documented by a number of clinical trials.

Now that you know the pros and cons of different types of collagen skin care treatments, choose the one that you think is the right choice for you and take good care of your skin.
