BRING BACK THAT YOUTHFUL GLOW WITH RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red light therapy is a skin care treatment offered as an alternative to Physician administered laser therapy. It treats skin discoloration, lightens age spots, reduces wrinkles, remediates eczema, clears acne, reduces the appearance of rosacea and heals scarring.
The FDA does approve of light therapy and says that use of red light at 633 nm has a “non significant risk” status and is completely safe for the eyes, and uses no harmful UV rays.
There are two kinds of red light therapy that are frequently confused. One is offered at tanning salons in their beds and also at exercise facilities. Those types of red light therapy use infra red rays which are heat sources and you cannot get them as close to the skin as they need to be to be useful to the skin, though they can be useful for joint pain relief. The second kind of red light therapy used is LED light therapy technology. This is the kind Salon Nouveau is offering and there is virtually no heat involved. To stimulate collagen, a very specific frequency of red light must be used from the light spectrum. Tanning bed red bulbs are 633 nm. Our LED bulbs are 700 nm, exactly the part of the red spectrum that is needed to be absorbed through all the layers of the skin, reaching down to the mitochondria in the bottom layer of the dermis. This layer of the skin is responsible for producing collagen and elastin which keep the skin looking young. With age, the body is less able to produce collagen and elastin, so stimulating the mitochondria there is clearly rejuvenating. The LED bulbs can penetrate to a depth of 10 mm, reaching all the way to the bottom of the dermis to the fatty layer, which also makes it beneficial as a natural anti-inflammatory treatment, leaving sagging skin plumped, radiant and glowing. To have red light therapy be effective, the bulbs must be very close to the skin, just another reason tanning bed bulbs will not be efficient.
The first 3 or 4 treatments should be closer together with following treatments once or twice a week until the desired effect is achieved. The therapy should be maintained so that the results are lasting, with treatments as needed once or twice a month depending on your skin condition and age.


Living with a damaged or decayed tooth can be uncomfortable and painful. At Kevin Spees Dentistry, your comfort and health are our top priority. Because of this, Dr. Spees and his team are proud to provide dental fillings for those with decayed, cracked, broken, or worn teeth!
What is a dental filling?
Dental fillings are made of tooth-colored resin that is placed on a damaged tooth to restore its natural shape and function. This resin is typically made of a combination of finely-ground acrylic and quartz-like particles. The material can be tinted to match the color of your surrounding teeth.
These filings are used for a variety of treatments. For those with tooth decay, this treatment can be used to fill the gap left after the decayed portion of the tooth is cleared away. Also, it can be used to fill in cracks and restore broken parts of a tooth. These types of fillings are also often used in cosmetic tooth bonding.
What are the benefits of a dental filling?
Dental fillings restore the appearance and function of a damaged tooth. The material can be shaped and molded as it is applied to the tooth to provide a natural final look. In addition, fillings offer a protective layer over the tooth's surface, which can effectively seal off bacteria. This can help prevent further infection and decay. Once the decay is removed and the filling applied, your teeth will look and feel like new again.
What is the difference between inlays and onlays?
Inlays and Onlays are often referred to as partial crowns. These are usually made from porcelain or composite resin in an off-site laboratory. Once the inlay or onlay is ready, it is cemented to the tooth. This treatment is usually reserved for extensive damage – such as if more than a third of a tooth's surface is damaged.
Fillings are made in our office and do not take as long to apply. They are ideal for smaller injuries that do not need extensive work. Fillings are a natural-looking, cost-effective option for those with surface-level damage.
What is the procedure for a filling?
After an initial consultation with Dr. Spees, a local anesthetic will be applied to the affected area. Dr. Spees and his skilled team will remove any damaged or decayed areas of the tooth before placing the filling. The material will be shaped to match your natural tooth. As a final step, the resin will be hardened and your dentist will check your bite to ensure the alignment is comfortable.
With proper care, fillings can last between 5 and 12 years.

The 300-Pound-Capacity Split Seat Stool with a cushioned backrest is perfect for doctor's office and dental practices. This adjustable stool is made with a lightweight yet sturdy aluminum base and upholstered in black antimicrobial vinyl that's easy to clean and disinfect, which is particularly helpful in healthcare settings.
The ergonomic benefits of this split-seat saddle stool make it a great option for promoting employee wellness and satisfaction. Many studies report numerous health benefits of using saddle seat stools. Saddle seat stools promote better posture and open up the hips and chest. They also relieve lower back pressure by shifting your body weight to your thigh muscles rather than having most of the weight on the back in a normal seated position.
These stools engage your core muscles and promote active sitting so the body doesn't become as stiff or uncomfortable during long periods of sitting. The design of the stool also works to loosen tight hip flexors that may contribute to or worsen back pain and discomfort.
Split-seat saddle stools offer the additional benefit of improved ventilation and superior adjustability. The left cushion can be adjusted outwards to achieve the proper seat width for each user. Additionally, the entire cushion can be adjusted to a forward pitch if desired. The cushioned backrest offers additional back support during work-intensive procedures and provides added stability while sitting.
Employees across all industries can benefit from ergonomic features and potential health benefits of saddle stools. Doctors and healthcare professionals are some of the top users of these types of stools due to the nature of their work. However, beauticians, artists and vet techs will all appreciate the reduction in fatigue and increase in mobility.
The split saddle seat is width adjustable and is cushioned with a high-density molded foam. The stool's cushion is upholstered in an easy-to-clean black antimicrobial vinyl, which is a great fit for any healthcare setting. Simply adjust the pitch of the seat forward if desired for even more active sitting.
The lightweight yet sturdy aluminum base is 22 inches in diameter to fit perfectly in small exam rooms and supports users up to 300 pounds. This stool easily moves with your body on five swivel casters. Standard seat height range is 22 to 29 inches high from the center of the seat to the floor. Need something a little taller? Purchase the optional foot ring kit with taller optional gas cylinder to increase the seat height range to 24 to 31 inches.
Ships unassembled. Shipping weight is 32 pounds. PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING! IN STOCK!

Therapy reflects the two main stages involved in helping individuals overcome their difficulties and improve their psychological well-being: psychological assessment and therapeutic intervention.
I undertake assessments in order to better understand the psychological difficulties being faced by a person and to work out if, and how best, I can help.
Typically, a first appointment will consist of gathering information about an individual's current difficulties and how they cope with them. I will also discuss with them their background and any events in their life that may have contributed to their current difficulties. Clients only need to discuss things that they are comfortable with.
I deliver specialist assessments on adults, young people and children for:
- Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Specific Learning Difficulties
- Challenging Behaviours
- Low Self-esteem
- Panic attacks and agoraphobia
- Social anxiety
- Generalised Anxiety (Worry)
- Hypochondriasis (Health Anxiety)
- Obsessional and compulsive behaviours
- Specific Phobias
- Post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
- Work related stress
- Anger control problems
- Sleep disruption
- Attachment difficulties
- Relationship difficulties
Following assessment, the client and I design and undertake individually tailored support packages and therapeutic intervention. These seek to build a deeper understanding of the psychological difficulties faced and to explore associated emotions, thoughts and behaviours.
Therapy involves deriving a shared understanding or formulation of the client’s difficulties. That is, consolidating the gathered information, exploring repeating patterns throughout their life and looking at how the past might have impinged upon the present.
Intervention involves activities outside the therapy session aimed at adjusting or managing the person’s emotions, thoughts and behaviours, such as keeping a diary.
Below are some of the therapies that I provide.
I provide medico-legal assessments, reports and expert witness testimony, throughout the UK, in a number of specialist areas. These include cognitive functioning, intellectual disability, personality disorder, mental health, forensic and risk assessment (including malingering) and family and parenting assessment.
I use an extensive battery of standardised psychometric assessment measures that are widely recognised and have proven validity and reliability. I also deliver effective psychological treatment when it is recommended as part of the medico-legal process.
The instructions I receive are wide in scope and encompass most areas of the law, for example, litigation, criminal and family law.
I recognise the importance that a clear understanding of an individual's circumstances and mental health state pre and post injury should be established. This can assist in prescribing an accurate future prognosis.
I provide comprehensive assessments that inform the court of the extent to which mental health problems, underlying personality disturbance or cognitive impairment may have influenced a defendant's actions.
I undertake comprehensive assessments of the psychological well-being of children and their relationships with adults involved in their care. Parenting assessments can assist the court in determining the most effective way forward for parenting and parenting support needs.
Training to healthcare professionals
I deliver training to those caring for children, young people, adults (including those with severe and enduring mental health problems and learning disabilities) and families in a number of settings, for example, residential settings, supportive housing, children's homes and fostering agencies. I deliver training on-site, anywhere in the UK, for groups of up to 16 people and lasting between one and five days.
Training is aimed at improving the carer's insight into the difficulties faced by the people they are supporting. Training encourages reflection on their own working practice and interactional style, as well as on the dynamics of the wider team. It equips them with a toolkit of evidence-based intervention strategies they can translate directly into their day-to-day work, boosting skills, knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm.
Where required, training courses can be augmented with on-going consultancy, and later, with post-course supervision for staff teams. Consultancy is highly effective in terms of maintaining the knowledge and skill base of staff teams long after there are trained. It is also a very powerful way of supporting and reinforcing the application in practice of the therapeutic interventions they learn through the training process. This is more likely to achieve the best possible outcomes for the organisation.
Below is a list of the training courses I offer. All are highly engaging and all are underpinned by strong theoretical foundations and research evidence recommended by NICE and the Department of Health. However, if a specific knowledge or skills gap has been identified, I am happy to develop a new training course that is tailored to your precise requirements.
- Managing challenging behaviour
- Cognitive-behavioural management of challenging behaviour
- Psychological approaches to de-escalating anger and aggression
- Child development and attachment
- Enhancing self-esteem
- Positive approaches to risk management
- Introduction to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- Introduction to Autistic Spectrum Disorders
- Mental Health Awareness
- Understanding and managing self-harm
- Child sexual abuse: The road to recovery
- Managing the symptoms of psychosis
- Enhancing self-esteem in people with psychosis
- Understanding Bipolar Disorder
- Understanding Eating Disorders
- Working with trauma
- Developing effective therapeutic relationships
I offer a range of services aimed at improving mental health, well-being and productivity in the workplace. These services are only implemented following a process of detailed consultation allowing me to understand an organisation’s specific HR or management needs and to then tailor interventions accordingly. Below are some of the programmes I have previously delivered.
I help employees identify early indicators of stress and burnout in terms of people’s cognitive processes, emotional responses, physiological sensations and behavioural patterns. Tailored strategies can be implemented to enhance resilience and the ability to cope with sustained pressure.
Individuals can be assisted to develop strategies for identifying internal and external conflict and to find helpful ways to resolve these.
I have developed a highly effective approach to optimising the performance of individuals who are working in demanding roles. Programmes include an assessment of information processing, memory and the use of different cognitive modalities in task performance. I provide tailored strategies that significantly enhance working memory, information processing and efficiency in performing work roles.
I help individuals and teams to communicate more effectively and to manage their anxiety in social and performance situations. I intervene to change unhelpful thinking patterns, control emotional and physical reactions and replace unhelpful behaviours with positive coping strategies.
I deliver training programmes that enable employees to identify and consider the effectiveness of their current coping strategies, and to learn a range of specific evidence-based techniques that help them minimise the effects of stress.

By Manuel-P. Jimenez-Garcia, PhD. | Director of Medical and Scientific Affairs
The therapeutic properties of the cannabis plant have been claimed in Spain since the time of Al-Andalus. Perhaps that’s why most of us bemoan Spain’s apparent regulatory inertia when it comes to cannabis, noting that others in the European Union (EU), such as Germany and Portugal, have already regulated medicinal use under a modern framework. However, recent developments in Spain have given some a reason to change their tune, with the Government backing reforms. Here’s our initial take on this important headline.
A Brief History of Medicinal Cannabis Regulation in Spain
The main legislation that applies to the medicinal use and cultivation of cannabis in Spain still derives from the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and its updated protocol (specifically Law 17/1976 on narcotics and subsequent modifications). However, to date patient access to legal medicinal cannabis (excluding pharmaceuticals such as Sativex) has been extremely limited, if not to say non-existent.
Looking back into the history of our country, we discover that intense campaigning for legalization of medical cannabis has seen limited success, both at a national level as well as various autonomous communities. For example, the Catalonian parliament passed a progressive bill in 2001, which urged the central Government to carry out the necessary steps needed to federally authorize the therapeutic use of cannabis. Alas, it would be two decades before seeing any real progress on the matter.
Meanwhile in 2005, Sativex, a cannabinoid-based drug prescribed to alleviate certain symptoms of multiple sclerosis, was approved for use by AEMPS (The Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices). Then in 2021, Epidyolex, an anticonvulsant for the adjuvant treatment of Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndromes, considered two of the most severe forms of epileptic encephalopathy, was also approved. While some patients in Spain enjoy greater access to cannabis-based medicines after these developments, the combined sales of Sativex & Epidyolex suggest that the majority are still turning to grey or illicit markets for supply.
A Small Step In The Right Direction
In mid 2021, after mounting political and social pressure calling for the Government to implement a broader, more inclusive regulatory framework, the Congress of Deputies (Congress) finally decided to act. A sub-committee was setup with a mandate to analyze the regulation of cannabis for medicinal use in other countries, among other topics. Interdisciplinary experts took part and submitted their reflections, which culminated in a draft technical report being issued in May 2022, which included recommendations to be considered as guidelines for developing the regulation. After some debate and negotiations resulting in amendments to the initial draft, the sub-committee approved the report’s recommendations on June 21st 2022.
The following week, the Health and Consumption Commission (a permanent legislative commission within Congress) gave the report its formal approval on June 27th 2022, marking the beginning of the process of creating the regulation which will govern the medicinal use of cannabis in Spain.
At this point, AEMPS, has six months to adopt the recommendations of the Commission and fit them into existing Spanish law. Although, it’s unclear whether this is a fixed deadline or the Agency will request additional time considering the size of the task at hand. It’s also our understanding that since the Government has already agreed to follow the recommendations laid out in the report, and rejected the need to elevate the subject to Congress for debate and approval, the regulations prepared by AEMPS will not be subject to subsequent votes, be that in Congress or the Senate.
What Was Recommended?
There’s a lot to unpack from the reports recommendations but also a lot left to define. As the saying goes, “the devil is always in the detail”. In this case, the detail rests on AEMPS and how they interpret the initial guidelines, which should translate into regulation by the end of the year.
The report recommends that medicinal cannabis be restricted to a subset of patients seeking relief from a defined list of indications, which include:
Access to medicinal cannabis can be extended to other therapeutic cases not already indicated when studies provide consistent evidence of its efficacy.
Reading between the lines, the recommendations imply that patients will not be able to access medical cannabis as a treatment option of first resort. Instead, it appears that cannabis should be considered only when more conventional treatments have failed. Nevertheless, it must be noted that this is not entirely clear in the report.
Who Will Prescribe?
The report recommends that prescriptions of medicinal cannabis must be carried out exclusively by health professionals and preferably by medical specialists with skills in areas covered by the authorized indications, as long as they are free of potential conflicts of interest. In their interpretation of these recommendations, it’s our hope that AEMPS broaden the scope of prescribers to include other specialists and GP’s in order to facilitate better patient access. The report also indicates that training in the use of medicinal cannabis among qualified prescribers should be carried out – the content of which and by who are also not clear at this stage.
A lot of debate centered around distribution mechanisms, particularly decisions regarding where medicinal cannabis will be dispensed. The final report states that dispensing must be done from the health system pharmacy network and preferably hospital pharmacies. However, the door has been left open to the inclusion of community pharmacies that meet certain requirements. Whether this includes general or compounding pharmacies, or both is yet to be determined.
Types of Products
On this particular subject covered by the recommendations, there’s a lot left open to interpretation. It appears the type of medicinal cannabis products allowed under new regulation will be limited to extracts and/or standardized cannabis preparations. Furthermore, the use of magistral formulas (individual medications that are prepared by the pharmacist) based on extracts and/or standardized preparations will also be evaluated for certain cases. A more precise definition and under what conditions products will be manufactured, registered and distributed still needs to be developed.
Cannabis flower and other types of preparations that are available in European Union countries will also be considered for approval but only for R&D purposes i.e. strictly for use in clinical and other scientific trials.
Those expecting a six month turn around, as some headlines have suggested, may be disappointed. Practically speaking, it could take at least 12-18 months before we see medicinal cannabis available in the Spanish market. What lies ahead is an incredibly complex task to assemble all the elements of a robust, patient-centric and inclusive medicinal cannabis system. Even if regulation is in place by the end of the year, there’s a lot that comes after this.
A multidisciplinary effort is needed to develop things like pathology-driven treatment protocols, general and specific education for health professionals in the field of cannabis medicine, product registration process, supply chain infrastructure, downstream services including clinical assistance programs for patients and much more. This of course is assuming that the political winds keep blowing in the right direction. With a federal election slated for late 2023, there may still be an additional twist to this tale.
Spain is more prepared than many other EU countries were prior to their regulatory reforms. For starters it boasts a rich ecosystem supported by top scientists and academics from leading universities with deep expertise in cannabis research already. It has a thriving agricultural sector with active medicinal cannabis cultivation projects, ensuring long-term production sovereignty (a total of 16 research and commercial licenses already issued at time of writing this article) and world-class pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing capabilities. Perhaps most importantly, Spain has significant public support for the legalization of medicinal cannabis.
Overall, we remain extremely optimistic about the prospects of a regulated medicinal cannabis market in Spain. It won’t always be perfect; it will evolve as we do. What’s certain today is that we’ve taken our first steps and that’s good news for everyone – especially for those patients whose lives could materially change thanks to one amazing plant called cannabis.
Conclusions and recommendations in the subcommittees’ report (pages 57-58):
Minutes from the Health Commissions’ debate and subsequent approval of the subcommittees report on June 27, 2022 (pages 2-11, 20-21):


Track your health and fitness progress with the GBX Prodigy Bio-electrical Impendence Analyser
The Bioimpedence Analysis (BIA) Machine scans your body in about 60 seconds. Using the machine we can accurately measure your:
• Body fat percentage
• Lean Body Mass
• BMI (Body Mass Index)
• Age match to body
• Skeletal Muscle mass
• Protein mass
• Visceral fat level (the hidden fat around your internal organs)
• BMR (Basic metabolic rate)
This allows us to track your body composition, health- and fitness level. Regardless if you are training for muscle gains, to lose weight or to maintain a good health it is important and also interesting to know what is really going on inside of your body.
You may think you are losing weight (fat) when you are in fact burning muscle instead of fat. You may feel healthy but store a lot of fat around your internal organs which is hidden for the eye but can make a big difference to your health. Or maybe your skeletal muscle mass (muscles that are attached to your bones i.e. quads, hamstrings, biceps etc.) is lower than you expect even though you are working hard in the gym every day.
By undergoing a scan we can get information that we can use to help develop a training and/or nutrition plan for you, motivate you to work harder to reach your goal and to help you get healthier and stronger.
This can be done as a one-time scan to know where you are at with your health or fitness but to get best results and to accurately track your progress, the scans should be done once every 6-8 weeks.
The scan takes approximately 60 seconds to complete. Compared to the commonly used way of measure body fat percentage, (callipers) you do not have to get undressed to do this scan. No awkward undressing in front of a stranger for him/her to awkwardly pinch you all over your body. You can undertake this scan wearing anything you feel comfortable in.
You simply step up on the electrode scale, grip the handles with electrodes and wait for 30-60 seconds until the scan is completed.
To think about before doing a scan
Eat as per normal routines on the day of your scan but it is recommended not to eat within 2 hours before the scan.
Empty your bladder before the test
If possible, empty your bladder just before the test to allow for a more accurate body fat result.
Coffee and alcohol
Caffeine and alcohol cause dehydration in your muscles which may affect the test result. If possibly, abstain from consuming alcohol 24 hours prior the test.
Breast implants may increase the body fat reading by around 2-4%. However, the progress tracking will still be accurate.
Certain steroids can affect your body’s density and can therefore affect the Bioelectrical Impedance value which could affect the actual measurement.
It is not advised to scan if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker


If you are considering a walk-in tub for yourself or an older relative, then it helps to be aware of the many benefits that these bathtubs can offer.
1. Helps You Regain Independence
It can be a blow to the dignity if you need help doing basic hygiene, even if it is only minor help to enter and exit the bathtub. A walk-in tub can give back your independence. This is especially important if you live alone, as it means you can bathe when it is convenient to you and not only when there is in-home help available.
2. Increases Safety
Safety can be a real concern in the bathtub, no matter your age. Slip and fall accidents are responsible for many injuries and even deaths. Walk-in tubs are safer to get in and out of. Further, there are additional safety bars and seats inside the tub to make a slip even less likely. Caution is still necessary, but the walk-in tub is not as dangerous as the step-over tub wall.
3. Aids with Aging In Place Goals
If aging in place is your goal, the bathroom can be one of the more challenging rooms to remodel to meet this goal. Safety bars help only so much, particularly if the tub or shower has a lip that can make it hard to step into. A walk-in tub with its handy door makes it easier to bathe unassisted or with only minimal assistance as you age in your home. Most adults will suffer at least a short-term mobility issue at some point as they age, so preparing the bathroom before you need a walk-in tub is ideal.
4. Offers Therapeutic Options
Walk-in tubs provide more than safety and accessibility benefits, they can also help you age with more comfort. Many tubs come with spa features, such as massage jets and hydrotherapy settings. These options can relieve sore muscles and tired joints, helping you recover more quickly from the normal effects of aging. Even younger people, especially those that are active, can benefit from the therapeutic options.
5. Offers Home Value Benefits
A walk-in tub can increase the value of your home, especially if you live in an area with an aging population that may treasure the ability to age in place safely. Many people have to retrofit bathrooms later in life due to accessibility concerns, so it adds value if the bathroom has already been remodeled with a walk-in tub.
Contact a walk-in tub dealer to see the options that are available for your home.


Ginger and olive oil are one of the best natural remedies for pain relief. And all thanks to the beneficial properties of these two ingredients.

Ginger is also characterized by its regenerative and aphrodisiac properties. Ginger root is often used as a condiment to food to add a savory flavor. And its special aroma makes ginger also a natural flavoring agent.

What is Rhodiola?
Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb-a non-toxic plant that is thought to help support the bodies stress receptors. Adaptogens are thought to provide balance - for example, if the stress hormone cortisol is increased in the body, it could be decreased with the help of Rhodiola. If the body is tired and you are suffering with fatigue, the adaptogenic nature of this herb could increase energy levels. Rhodiola also stimulates the production of dopamine and serotonin, the ‘happy hormones’.

Betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish, are popular pets due to their vibrant colors and unique personalities. However, caring for a betta fish requires more than just feeding them and changing their water. In this comprehensive guide, we will cover everything you need to know about how to properly care for a betta fish to ensure they live a long and healthy life.
1. Setting Up the Perfect Habitat for Your Betta Fish
Tank Size and Water Parameters
When it comes to setting up a habitat for your betta fish, the first thing to consider is the tank size. While bettas are often kept in small bowls, it is recommended to provide them with at least a 1-gallon tank to allow for proper swimming space. In terms of water parameters, bettas thrive in temperatures ranging from 72-82°F and a pH level between 6.0-8.0. It is essential to invest in a good quality water heater and thermometer to maintain these optimal conditions for your betta fish.
In addition to the tank size and water parameters, the setup of the tank is crucial for the well-being of your betta fish. Bettas are labyrinth fish, which means they breathe air from the surface, so it is important to leave some space between the water level and the top of the tank. Decorate the tank with live or silk plants to provide hiding spots and create a stimulating environment for your betta fish. Adding a gentle filter and a heater will help maintain water quality and temperature, ensuring a comfortable habitat for your betta.
- Choose a tank size of at least 1 gallon.
- Maintain water temperature between 72-82°F.
- Keep pH levels within the range of 6.0-8.0.
2. Feeding Your Betta Fish a Balanced Diet
Types of Food
Proper nutrition is essential for the health of your betta fish. Betta fish are carnivorous and require a high-protein diet to thrive. You can feed your betta fish a variety of foods, including pellets, flakes, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. It is important to provide a balanced diet to prevent nutritional deficiencies and keep your betta fish healthy.
When it comes to feeding your betta fish, moderation is key. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and other health issues, while underfeeding can result in malnutrition. A general rule of thumb is to feed your betta fish 2-3 pellets twice a day, adjusting the amount based on their appetite and activity level. It is also recommended to incorporate fasting days into their feeding schedule to aid digestion and prevent bloating.
- Offer a variety of foods such as pellets, flakes, and live foods.
- Feed your betta fish 2-3 pellets twice a day.
- Incorporate fasting days into their feeding schedule.
3. Maintaining Water Quality in Your Betta Fish Tank
Regular Water Changes
Clean water is vital for the health of your betta fish. Regular water changes help remove toxins and waste products that can build up in the tank over time. It is recommended to perform a 25% water change every week to keep the water clean and maintain optimal water parameters for your betta fish.
In addition to regular water changes, testing the water parameters is essential to ensure a healthy environment for your betta fish. Invest in a water testing kit to monitor the levels of ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH in the tank. Keeping these parameters in check will prevent water quality issues and promote the well-being of your betta fish.
- Perform a 25% water change every week.
- Invest in a water testing kit to monitor water parameters.
- Keep ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH levels in check.
4. Providing Enrichment and Exercise for Your Betta Fish
Betta fish are intelligent and curious creatures that benefit from mental stimulation and enrichment. Add decorations such as caves, tunnels, and floating plants to the tank to create hiding spots and explore. You can also introduce tank mates like snails or shrimp to provide social interaction for your betta fish, but be cautious as bettas can be territorial and aggressive towards other fish.
While bettas do not require as much space to swim as other fish, they still need opportunities for exercise to stay healthy and active. Use a laser pointer or a mirror to encourage your betta fish to swim around the tank and chase after the light. Providing a variety of decorations and changing the tank layout periodically can also stimulate your betta fish and prevent boredom.
- Add decorations and tank mates for enrichment.
- Use a laser pointer or mirror for exercise.
- Change the tank layout periodically to prevent boredom.
5. Recognizing and Treating Common Betta Fish Health Issues
Common Health Problems
Like any pet, betta fish are susceptible to various health issues. Some common problems that betta fish may experience include fin rot, ich (white spot disease), velvet disease, and swim bladder disorder. It is essential to monitor your betta fish closely for any signs of illness, such as changes in behavior, appetite, or appearance, and seek veterinary care if necessary.
If you suspect that your betta fish is unwell, it is crucial to act quickly to prevent the condition from worsening. Depending on the health issue, treatment options may include medicated food, aquarium salt baths, or commercial medications. Quarantine the sick fish in a separate tank to prevent the spread of disease and monitor their progress closely during treatment.
- Monitor your betta fish for signs of illness.
- Seek veterinary care if necessary.
- Treat health issues promptly with appropriate medications.
6. Breeding Betta Fish Responsibly
Breeding betta fish can be a rewarding experience, but it requires careful planning and preparation. To breed bettas successfully, you will need a separate breeding tank with a divider to separate the male and female bettas until they are ready to spawn. Provide plenty of hiding spots and plants in the breeding tank to create a conducive environment for the breeding pair.
When the male and female bettas are ready to spawn, introduce them to the breeding tank and monitor their behavior closely. The male betta will build a bubble nest at the surface of the water, and the female will lay eggs for fertilization. Once the eggs are fertilized, remove the female betta from the tank to prevent aggression from the male betta towards her and the fry.
- Set up a separate breeding tank with a divider.
- Provide hiding spots and plants for the breeding pair.
- Remove the female betta after spawning to prevent aggression.
Caring for a betta fish requires dedication, knowledge, and attention to detail. By providing your betta fish with a suitable habitat, a balanced diet, clean water, enrichment, and proper healthcare, you can ensure that they live a happy and healthy life. Remember to monitor your betta fish regularly for any signs of illness and seek veterinary care when needed. With the right care and commitment, your betta fish will thrive and bring you joy for years to come.

Do not become overwhelmed with the massive amounts of information that is available from a wide variety of experts. Take the time to educate yourself on what really works before you jump into a new weight loss program.
Drink green tea to lose some weight. Green tea is known to boost the metabolism and increase energy. Drinking this green tea during the minutes prior to your workout in the morning is always a good idea.
Start every supper with a salad. Salad has a ton of fiber which makes you feel full. To keep the calories low, stay away from cheese or dressings for salad.
One smart idea for weight loss is joining a company like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. Organizations like these offer not only support, but a myriad of resources to help in your battle. Make sure you can afford to sign up for one of these programs: you can get the same results if you do some research on your own and cook your own meals.
Try to celebrate each milestone in weight loss, no matter the size. Have a massage, take an extra yoga class or enjoy a healthy treat. This will keep you motivated and on the right track.
Focus on staying healthy and not on losing weight. This will keep you bright and energetic during the program. If you solely focus on weight loss, then you get easily discouraged about the prospect of giving up the treats you love most. Many diets fail because you feel like you have to give up eating what you like. Make sure that you incorporate your diet plan gradually.
A proven tip to losing weight is to avoid eating processed foods. Not buying processed foods can help you become more aware of the foods that you are buying and the ingredients that are in them. Look out for high fructose corn syrup, sodium, trans fat and other unhealthy ingredients.
Buy a monitor for your heart rate. The effectiveness of the cardio you do depends on your heart rate. With a monitor, you will know you are working out effectively.
You can be more aware of what you eat by having someone else eat with you. A lot of times, eating alone causes you to focus only on the eating and may cause you to clean your plate.
Throw out clothes that are too big once you start shedding pounds. This helps you see how much you’ve lost, and will build up your self-confidence in order to continue. It provides more motivation to maintain your current size, or shed even more inches off your waist.
Try not using food as a source of entertainment. Certain people greatly enjoy cooking, and as a result, they also enjoy eating. There is nothing wrong with this. Food can be quite enjoyable. You should ensure you have other things you enjoy more than food. You should consider a new and active hobby.
Start eating whole wheat pasta. When losing weight, you probably want to reduce carbs, which is abundant in pasta. Alternatively, switch to whole wheat pasta. Whole wheat noodles prove healthier than regular pasta. They also fill you up.
You tend to eat less by using smaller plate. Research has shown we tend to eat whatever is on our plate no matter the size of the portion. Using a smaller plate may help with portion control. The fact that the plate is full will make you feel less deprived.
If you stay on the sunny side of life you will lose weight. You’re in control of your weight; remember this when you feel like slacking off.

Gambling can be a great way to unwind and relax, but it shouldn’t become a problem. There are ways to reduce the harm it can cause and learn to enjoy gambling again in a safe environment.
It’s easy to get caught up in a cycle of gambling, so if you are worried about your own or a loved one’s behaviour, talk to someone who can help. They may be able to give you advice or support, and they can tell you where to go for help.
If you are new to gambling, start with small amounts of money that you can afford to lose. This will help you to decide how much you want to gamble and set boundaries for yourself.
Set limits in advance and stop when you reach them. This is better than letting your gambling take over and then having to give up.
Don’t lie about the amount you spend or hide evidence of your gambling – if you do this, it will make it harder to change your habits.
Know why you are gambling – understanding your motivations can help you to avoid harmful behaviours and find healthier alternatives.
The most common reasons people gamble are for mood change and the fantasy of winning a big prize, but it can also be a way to relieve unpleasant emotions. If you are having problems with your mental health, talk to a specialist GP or a counsellor about how gambling may be impacting on your wellbeing.
Having fun and socialising with friends can be good for your mental health. But if gambling becomes too much, it can interfere with your relationship and lead to depression or other mental health issues.
Gambling can be a problem for anyone, regardless of their age. Young people can be more vulnerable to it because they are less aware of the risks and don’t understand the potential harms.
If you are having trouble controlling your gambling, speak to a counsellor or a therapist who can support you. They can work with you to find a treatment or support plan that is right for you.
Be honest with yourself about how much you are spending on gambling – don’t make it up, or tell anyone else that you are saving the money for a holiday! This will weaken your resolve to control your behaviour and could lead to bigger losses in the future.
Keep track of your spending – set a budget and stick to it. This will ensure that you don’t overspend, and that your bank account doesn’t fall into debt.
Keeping control of your finances is important for your mental and physical health. Getting rid of your credit cards, having your bank make automatic payments for you, closing online betting accounts, and having a fixed amount of cash on you will help to keep you in control.
Seek help if you are having trouble controlling your gambling and it is causing serious harm to yourself or your family. They will be able to support you and provide advice, including contacting the authorities if necessary.

The We Got Us Empowerment Project is a collective of Black community members, healthcare professionals, students, and allies dedicated to educating our communities about COVID-19 and the vaccine. Our purpose is not to convince, but to empower our communities with timely, accessible, and scientifically accurate information grounded in evidence so they have the tools to make informed health decisions. We recognize our community’s hesitancy and distrust of the medical institution as dignified, due to the historic and ongoing abuse of our communities at the hands of medical racism. We are committed to elucidating these atrocities and doing the work to help dismantle the systems of oppression that led and continue to lead to inequitable health outcomes. To accomplish our objectives, we will fellowship in community, learn in community, and get through this pandemic in community because “We Got Us”.


Dear Parent or Guardian:
As you may know, head lice cases have been on the rise nationally. An estimated 6 to 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States, most commonly among children ages 3 to 11.1 I am writing to you to help you learn how to identify lice and provide information on what you can do if lice hit your home.
What are head lice?
Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live close to the human scalp. They feed on blood. The eggs, also called nits, are tiny, tear-drop shaped eggs that attach to the hair shaft. Nits often appear yellowish or white and can look like dandruff but cannot be removed or brushed off. The nymph, or baby louse, is smaller and grow to adult size in one to two weeks. The adult louse is the size of a sesame seed appears tan to grayish-white. An itchy and inflamed scalp is a common symptom of lice. Although not common, persistent scratching may lead to skin irritation and even infection.1
Who is affected by head lice?
Head lice are not related to cleanliness.2,3 In fact, head lice often infest people with good hygiene and grooming habits.3 Infestations can occur at home, school or in the community. Head lice are mostly spread by direct head-to-head contact—for example, during play at home or school, slumber parties, sports activities or camp. Less often, lice are spread via objects that have been in recent contact with a person with head lice, such as hats, scarves, hair ribbons, combs, brushes, stuffed animals or bedding.1,2
What to do if an infestation occurs?
If you think your child has head lice, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment approach for your family. Resistance to some over-the-counter head lice treatments has been reported, but the prevalence of resistance is not known.4,5 There are new prescription treatment options available that are safe.
As your school nurse, I want to provide you with the information you need to safeguard your children’s health and pave the way for a healthy school year. I hope you find this information useful.
Additionlly, I am including the link to the 2010 clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics which provides additional information and guidance for parents and for schools related to screenings and management of head lice:

Ampicillin is one of the essential antibiotics known by mankind. This medication is widely applied to treat, prevent and control various bacterial diseases. It is used in single medication treatments and in complex approach for coping with bacterial infections or diseases complicated with bacterial inflammations. It is one of the cheapest and safest medications for bacterial infections which should be in every home medicine box. Ampicillin covers typical infections respiratory and urinary tract. It is safe and can be administered to neonates (children less than 28 days old). Ampicillin is available in every offline drug store. However to save costs and efforts you can buy Ampicillin online over the counter. The medication is also available online in countries with strict drug control policy as USA, Canada, UK, Australia. Though Ampicillin is a safe medication, you are recommended to visit a doctor and to do necessary clinical tests to find out the type of bacteria, their quantity in the body and to choose an optimum treatment course with proper dosages of the medication.
What is Ampicillin?
Ampicillin is a powerful antibiotic covering a wide range of susceptible bacteria. Being non-toxic, Ampicillin is allowed for children and neonates. It comes in various forms to the market. You can buy Ampicillin online in pills and injections. The pills are available in different dosages of 250mg and 500mg. If you buy Ampicillin prior to seeing your doctor, then it is recommended to buy in the lowest dosage possible. Thus you will be able to get an exact dosage for intake if you are prescribed a larger dosage treatment.
Ampicillin was developed in 1961 and since that time the pharmaceutical industry has not managed to develop another featuring such an efficiency and providing zero risks ad side effects to a patient during treatment. It is on the list of the essentials of WHO.
The drug is effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The range of susceptible micro-organisms are as follows:
- enterococci and some others.
Ampicillin is a fast acting remedy. It interferes the process of cell wall creation of bacteria when they actively grow and develop by thus preventing them from replication and multiplying. In this case bacteria are unable to spread further over the body contaminating other organs and worsening the disease.
Directions for the use of Ampicillin
Ampicillin is a widely applied drug for bacterial infections treatment and prophylaxis. In most cases it requires prescription based on clinical tests which reveal the infection, bacteria and their quantity. Ampicillin should be taken for a certain period of time getting control over a population of bacteria.
The drug should be taken only to cope with diseases caused with susceptible types of bacteria. This is the list of most common diseases which are well treated with Ampicillin:
- endocarditis and other infections of heart tissues
- respiratory infections as pharyngitis, sinusitis
- infections and inflammations of kidneys
- infection fevers
- ear infections
Ampicillin should not be chosen for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases as these are commonly of viral nature. Ampicillin is ineffective against viruses.
Ampicillin is taken according prescription. If you buy Ampicillin online over the counter and do not have a prescription from your doctor, please, follow the instruction provided with the pills as improper treatment with antibiotics may cause liver, kidney, digestion dysfunction. In most cases Ampicillin is combined with other medications which will support the body functioning providing healthy levels of vital bacteria in the stomach or vagina. Though Ampicillin is available online and offline over the counter even in USA, UK, Australia and Canada, still we do recommend to see your doctor and to get a proper plan of treatment.
How should I use Ampicillin?
Ampicillin should only be used as it is prescribed or as it is indicated in the instruction for the medication. In most cases the length of treatment is from 7 to 14 days. Ampicillin is safe for your health and body and will not cause severe dysfunctions. However you should know the exact dosage which will be optimum to cope with the infection fast.
Take Ampicillin according your schedule with or without meals with a full glass of water. Note that most of the antibiotics will cause discomfort in your stomach and may provoke nausea and vomiting if taken without meals. Ampicillin is recommended to be combined with drugs or vitamins or BAAs containing lactic bacteria which are of vital importance for stomach and digestion.
Do not take larger dosages of Ampicillin as it is prescribed to you. Increased dosages will not prompt the recovery but will cause overdosing and may result in acute anaphylactic collapse. Such a condition requires immediate emergency help.
What may interact with Ampicillin?
Ampicillin interacts with many medications as is fobidden to be mixed with some vaccines and drugs. For example, neonates should not get a bcg vaccine if treated with Ampicillin as the combination may result either in serious life threatening condition or weakening of the vaccine action. In the latter case the vaccination will fail and will not induce the development of the immunity against the disease.
Ampicillin should not be combined wit other antibiotics of the group as they may decrease the efficiency of each other and thus trigger the efficacy of the treatment.
Check all the medications you are taking constantly or occasionally and report the list to your health care provider. Mind that herbs and medicine teas should also be included. Ampicillin is not recommended to mix with diuretics and dejectory relaxants as they may excrete the drug from the body faster and trigger the efficacy of the treatment.
What should I watch for while taking Ampicillin?
Ampicillin is a potent medication. If you take Ampicillin according a prescription then you will feel ease of symptoms right from the first intake. The first symptoms that seize after Ampicillin are fever, itching, flashing and redness.
Patients who buy Ampicillin online over the counter and take the drug on their own without prescription should carefully track the symptoms and immediately seek for emergency help in case the symptoms get worse. This means that the medication is wrong for the case and the disease progresses.
Ampicillin commonly does not have contraindications except of allergic reactions to the class of antibiotics. However patients with infectious mononucleosis are not recommended to get Ampicillin treatment. Ampicillin should be carefully administered to women planning pregnancy, pregnant or breastfeeding. The risks of Ampicillin for a baby or a fetus should be evaluated only by healthcare provider.
What side effects may I notice from Ampicillin?
Ampicillin performs few side effects in comparison to other antibiotics. Most common side effects are the response of the digestive system to a decreased level of vital bacteria needed for normal digestion. These are vomiting, nausea, increased bowel movements, loose stool and constipations. Up to 1,8% of patients notice skin rashes with the drug. Vaginosis and stomatitis are two most common side effects in women.
