Description Zaxime® is an oral broad spectrum ß-lactam antibiotic of third generation cephalosporins.
Clinical pharmacology Zaxime ® kills bacteria by interfering in the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Zaxime ® binds with high affinity to penicillin binding proteins (PBP) in bacterial cytoplasmic membrane and by acylation of membrane-bound transpeptidase enzymes, prevents cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains, which is necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. Also cell division and growth are inhibited and elongation of susceptible bacteria and lysis frequently occur. Rapidly dividing bacteria are those most susceptible to the action of Zaxime ®. Antibacterial activity Zaxime® has a high degree of stability in the presence of beta-lactamases (penicillinases and cephalosporinases) and, therefore, has excellent activity against a wide spectrum of gram-negative bacteria, including penicillinase-producing strains of N.gonorrhoeae and most enterobacteriaceae (Citrobacter, E.coli Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Morganella, Proteus, Providencia, and Serratia species). Zaxime ® has the most activity of oral cephalosporins against Streptococcus pyogenes, S.pneumonia, and all gram-negative bacilli, including beta-lactamase producing strains of H.influenza, M.catarrhalis and N.gonorrhoeae. Zaxime ® is not as active against gram-positive cocci as are the first and second generation cephalosporins. It has a little activity against Staphylococci and has no activity against pseudomonas species. Pharmacokinetics Oral absorption ~60% Presystemic metabolism -- Plasma half – life 2.5-3.8 h Mean Range 3h Volume of distribution 0.1 l.kg -1 Plasma protein binding 70%
Indication 1-Bronchitis. 2-Bacterial exacerbation of bronchitis. 3-Otitis media. 4-Uncomplicated gonorrhea. 5-Bacterial pharyngitis and tonsillitis. 6-Bacterial urinary tract infections.
Contraindication Zaxime® is contraindicated in patients who have shown hypersensitivity to Cefixime or cephalasporin group of antibiotics.
Precaution • Before Zaxime® administration, previous hypersensitivity reactions to cephalosporins or penicillins must be determined because of cross hypersensitivity among ß-lactams. • Risk-benefit should be considered when history of bleeding disorders, gastrointestinal disease specially ulcerative colitis, regional enteritis or antibiotic associated colitis (Zaxime® may cause pseudomembranous colitis) and hepatic function impairment exist. • For patients with renal function impairment (creatinine clearance <20mL/min) one half the usual adult dose should be used at the same dosing intervals. • Long-term therapy with Zaxime® may allow for the overgrowth of Candida albicans, resulting in oral candidiasis. • Therapy should be continued for at least 10 days in group a beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections to help prevent the occurrence of acute rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis. Pregnancy Pregnancy category B. Zaxime ® cross the placenta. There are no well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Therefore Zaxime ® should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Breast feeding It is not known whether Zaxime ® is distributed into breast milk. Consideration should be given to discontinuing nursing temporarily during treatment with this drug.
Dosage Usual adult dose • Bronchitis, bacterial exacerbation of bronchitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis or uncomplicated urinary tract infections: 200 mg every 12 hours or 400 mg once a day. • Uncomplicated cervical or urethral gonorrhea: 400 mg as a single dose. Usual pediatric dose • Bronchitis, bacterial exacerbation of bronchitis, Otitis media, pharyngitis, tonsillitis or uncomplicated urinary tract infections: Children 50 kg of body weight and over: the same as adult dose. Infants and children 6 months to 12 years of age and up to 50 kg of body weight: 4 mg per kg of body weight every 12 hours or 8 mg per kg of body weight once a day. Infants up to 6 months of age: dosage has not been established. Usual geriatric dose Dosing is the same as adult dose. Note: As the oral suspension form of Zaxime ® results in higher peak blood concentrations than the tablet when administrated at the same dose, therefore the tablet should not be substituted for the oral suspension in the treatment of Otitis media.
Administration Reconstitution direction for oral suspension • Add approximately half the total amount of water for reconstitution and shake well, then add more water towards indication line and shake well to get a soft suspension.
Patient consultation • Take Zaxime ® on a full or empty stomach or take with food if gastrointestinal irritation occurs. • Take the medicine in regular intervals and continue medicine for full time of treatment. • If you missed a dose, take as soon as possible, don't take if almost time for next dose and don't double doses. • If there wasn't improvement of symptoms within a few days, check with your physician. • Shake well before using. Warning • If Zaxime® is to be given to penicillin-sensitive patients, caution should be exercised because cross-hypersensitivity among ß-lactam antibiotics has been clearly documented and may occur in up to 7% of patients with a history of penicillin allergy. Interaction • The potential for increased nephrotoxicity exists when Zaxime ® is used with other nephrotoxic medications such as loop diuretics, especially in patients with preexisting renal function impairment. Renal function should be monitored carefully in patients receiving Zaxime® and aminoglycosides concurrently. Laboratory value alteration • Zaxime® may produce false-positive reaction for ketones in urine with tests using nitropruside, also may produce false positive or falsy elevated test results for glucose in the urine with copper reduction tests [Benedict's, Fehling’s]. • A positive Coombs reaction appears frequently in patients who receive large doses of Zaxime ®. • Zaxime ® may prolong prothrombin time. • Administration of Zaxime ® may change the following physiology/laboratory test values: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT [SGPT]), Alkaline phosphatase, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST [SGOT]), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Serum bilirubin, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Serum Creatinine, Complete blood count (CBC), Platelet count.
Adverse reactions • Most of adverse reactions observed in clinical trials were of a mild and transient nature. The most commonly seen adverse reactions were gastrointestinal events. • The following adverse reactions have been reported but their incidence rates were less than 2%, except as noted above for gastrointestinal events. Those indicating need for medical attention. • Incidence less frequent or rare Hypoprothrombinemia (unusual bleeding or bruising), pseudomembranous colitis (abdominal or stomach cramps and pain, abdominal tenderness. Severe watery and bloody diarrhea, fever).
• Incidence rare Allergic reactions, specifically anaphylaxis, Erythema multiforme or Stevens Johnson syndrome (blistering, peeling or loosening of skin and mucous membranes, which may involves the eyes or the other organ systems) hearing loss, hemolytic anemia, immune, drug – induced (unusual tiredness or weakness, yellowing of the eyes or skin), hypersensitivity reactions, renal dysfunction, serum sickness-like reactions, seizures, thrombophlebitis. Those indicating need for medical attention only if they continue or are bothersome. • Incidence more frequent. Gastrointestinal reactions (abdominal cramps, mild diarrhea, nausea or vomiting) headache, oral candidiasis (sore mouth or tongue), vaginal candidiasis (vaginal itching and discharge).
Overdose In the case of Zaxime® overdosage, gastric lavage may be used to decrease the absorption of Zaxime®.It is not removed in significant quantities from the circulation by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

Emergency First Response
Essential for everyone in today’s world, become a certified First Responder In just ONE day!
Upon completion you will receive your Emergency First responder Identification card and that all Important knowledge and peace of mind and confidence to assist in any emergency.
Our innovative independent study method of delivery helps you learn and remember more whilst keeping it fun. With independent study, your time with your Emergency First Response Instructor is focused on skill development rather than lecture.
Why Emergency First Response?
With award-winning course materials and a simplified approach to training, Emergency First Response makes CPR and first aid easy to learn, giving you the confidence you need to respond in a medical emergency. EFR combines adult, child and infant CPR and first aid skills, and has the option of including Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training and emergency oxygen use. They can be taught together, as stand-alone courses or in any combination. We can customise our course delivery to meet your timing and training needs.
The Emergency First Response is broken down into the following subjects:
- Primary Care (CPR) – This course teaches you the steps and techniques for handling life-threatening emergencies. You’ll practice eight skills for aiding patients who aren’t breathing, have no heartbeat, may have a spinal injury, may be in shock or who may have serious bleeding. You’ll learn to how to perform CPR and continue to monitor the patient, so that you provide every possible chance of survival while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.
- Secondary Care (First Aid) – Because many medical conditions are not life-threatening and emergency medical services are sometimes delayed or unavailable, this course teaches you how to provide first aid that eases pain and reduces the risk of further harm. You’ll learn to assess a variety of injuries and illnesses and practice bandaging and splinting.
- Care for Children – This course allows participants to learn, practice and apply emergency care skills specific to helping infants and children with medical emergencies. It’s designed for those who work with children or are likely to have to respond to emergencies involving youngsters. This course is often integrated with Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) courses.
- CPR & AED – This course focuses on CPR training and teaching participants how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator). When workplace or governmental requirements specify this training, the CPR & AED course meets the need. This course is often integrated into First Aid at Work programs.
- First Aid at Work – In some areas, such as Great Britain, Australia and Canada, governmental regulations call for enhanced CPR and first aid training for the workplace. First Aid at Work programs designed for these areas include additional topics and skills to meet requirements while following the easy to learn EFR approach to training.
- EFR Refresher – It’s a good idea to refresh your CPR and first aid skills every 24 months, and that’s what the EFR Refresher course is designed to do. Focusing on key skills, the course allows you to stay up-to-date and ready to lend aid when needed.

Research in Asia shows that in the big cities 90% of the students leaving school have to wear spectacles due to myopia (nearsightedness). The reasons given are too much hard work for school, far too little exposure to daylight, and lack of time spent outdoors.
Recent research in The Netherlands shows a steep increase in myopia (nearsightedness) among 20 year old students (Klaver, 2017). Myopia is the eye disorder with the most rapid increase in prevalence worldwide. In 1990 only 5% of the school leavers in The Netherlands suffered from myopia. In 2017 this has risen to 50%, and this is likely to increase. It develops in childhood, with a peak incidence between the ages of 13 to 15 years. Myopia developed in childhood cannot be reversed.
The main reasons given for the steep increase is the frequent use of social media on smartphones and iPads, and og computers in general. Children use their eyes too one-sided, namely for nearsight mainly. This results in eyes that change shape to accomodate for this effort. Another negative side-effect of the use of digital devices is the fact that the eyes become too dry. We blink only 10% of the normal amount when watching at a screen.
Other causes, related to the use of digital devices, are a decrease in hours spent outdoors and the decrease in exposure to daylight. In childhood the eyes need both daylight and the exposure to farsightedness.
How can we reverse the myopia epidemic?
Researchers and experts on eyesight have developed a rule-of thumb.
20-20-220 minutes working on a screen
Take a break of at least 20 seconds
Spend at least 2 hours a day outdoors
Additional smart rules for parents and teachers to prevent myopia and other eye problems are:
- Young children (< 6) should not work more than 20-30 minutes a day on a screen.
- The SmartBoards in classrooms should be turned off regularly.


Community leaders in Alameda and three other counties in California and Washington have adopted laws requiring pharmaceutical companies to finance drug take-back programs.
Drug take-back programs combat prescription drug abuse by removing unused medications from homes and are an environmentally safe method of disposal.
A study by the U.S Geological Survey in 2000 found measurable amounts of one or more medications in 80 percent of water samples drawn from 139 streams in 30 states. These drugs included antibiotics, antidepressants, heart medications and hormones.
According to a 2007 medication collection program in California, half of all medications are discarded. This highlights the enormous need for proper disposal.
Water treatment methods reduce the concentrations of medications in drinking water, but there is still drug pollution in the water we drink. The Associated Press uncovered studies in 2008 that found water supplies in 24 metropolitan areas had detectable levels of medications.
At this time, there is scant evidence that drug pollution in drinking water has an effect on humans. But it is possible that trace amounts of medicines can accumulate and affect more vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women or individuals with disabilities.
Meanwhile, there is plenty of evidence that drug pollution affects wildlife. Studies have shown that estrogen from birth control pills and hormone treatments have polluted water and changed female-to-male ratios within aquatic populations. Fish with both male and female characteristics have been found in the most polluted sections of the Potomac River. Other studies have found antidepressant medications in the brain tissue of fish downstream from wastewater treatment plants.
Drug take-back programs also help to keep prescription drugs off the illegal market. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified prescription drug abuse as one of the top five health threats of 2014. Overdose deaths from prescription opioid medications now exceed deaths from heroin and cocaine overdoses combined.
Drug companies have been fighting the laws requiring them to finance take-back programs. Drug makers claim such laws are unconstitutional. The U.S Supreme Court denied the claims of drug makers in late May, making the costs of take-back programs the responsibility of drug makers.
This Supreme Court decision should encourage other local governments across the country to establish secure drug take-back programs. With funding from drug companies, these programs will not strain local budgets.
In the meantime, safe disposal boxes can be found in local police departments around Connecticut, with drop boxes pending in Bridgeport and Winchester. The FDA also provides instructions for the disposal of unused medicines on their website.

Activation by two recombinant naturally occurring myeloid proteins of an anti-inflammatory and anti-hypoxic pathway
S100 proteins are small calcium-binding proteins that are found at high levels in the extracellular milieu during inflammatory conditions. The UIC inventor has discovered that these proteins possess significant anti-inflammatory and anti-hypoxic activity. It was also shown that S100 proteins inhibit the activation of peripheral neutrophils by activating a specific type of PKC known for its anti-inflammatory activity, and have a protective effect against hypoxia. The two proteins are good potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of deleterious inflammation especially in association with hypoxia / ischemia. The inventor has also shown through in vivo experiments that they can ameliorate cutaneous wound healing in an animal model of hypoxia impaired wounds.

“Hippo” is the Greek word for horse, so hippotherapy is “therapy with the help of the horse”. The horse’s movement is utilized by physical, occupational and speech therapists as a means to help clients work toward their therapy goals in a fun, active and motivating environment. Windridge and Kidz First Therapy collaborate efforts to provide hippotherapy to children with a wide variety of diagnoses.
Hippotherapy is provided three days a week by Kidz First Therapy and Windridge. The therapists are American Hippotherapy Association Level I and II certified therapists and/or board certified Hippotherapy Clinical Specialists (HPCS). They are supported by Windridge’s PATH International certified instructors and volunteers. The horses are specifically trained and selected for use in this program, as well as for each child.
Unlike in the therapeutic riding program, equestrian skills are not a focus in hippotherapy. It is simply therapy that uses the unique movement of the horse as a treatment strategy. The repetitive three-dimensional movement influences multiple systems throughout the body (neurological, muscular, cardiovascular, sensory, respiratory, emotional, visual, etc.) at the same time, making hippotherapy a powerful and effective strategy.
It has been proven that a horse takes approximately 3,000 steps at the walk in 30 minutes. This means a child can receive 3,000 repetitions of natural therapeutic movement that cannot be duplicated in any other traditional therapy setting. Additionally, positions and activities directed by the therapists help optimize the effects of the movement specifically for each child’s needs.


For up to date information about the Government’s response to COVID-19, visit: www.australia.gov.au)
Australia’s health response to COVID-19 has been world leading.
Australia has one of the lowest fatality rates from COVID-19 in the world, with death rates in the USA and the UK around 10 times higher.
By avoiding the rate of death that other comparable countries have had, Australia has saved tens of thousands.
Australia has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, ranking 5th amongst advanced economies.
Over 56 million vaccine doses have been administered and more than 95% of Australians aged 16 and older are now fully vaccinated.
The Government committed over $45 billion to the vaccine rollout and our health system in response to COVID-19.
This included the delivery of 9,000 new ventilators and boosting Australia’s National Medical Stockpile with millions of masks, gowns, goggles and ventilators.
We provided better access to healthcare with the introduction of Telehealth. Since the start of the pandemic, over 100 million Telehealth consultations have been provided and Telehealth has now been made permanent.
Over 66 million COVID-19 PCR tests have been conducted – one of the highest testing rates in the world.
To ensure we protect vulnerable Australians, while transitioning to living with COVID-19, we have invested a further $2.1 billion in the Winter Response Plan. This includes a further 161 million units of PPE and 26 million Rapid Antigen Tests distributed to residential aged care facilities.
The Government will continue to back our health system, by guaranteeing record levels of funding for hospitals, medicines, aged care and Medicare.
The Coalition Government has committed to a five-year $18.8 billion plan to improve aged care, with new home care packages, respite services, training places, retention bonuses and infrastructure upgrades.
Under this plan, 40,000 home care packages, over 48,000 additional training places, 7,000 new personal care workers and 8,400 respite services will be rolled out this year.
There are now 233,000 people with access to a home care package, and 275,000 places will be available by 2023.
This year’s Budget provides more than $345 million to embed pharmacy services within residential aged care facilities to improve medication management for the elderly.
Federal funding for public hospitals has already doubled – from $13.3 billion under Labor (in 2012-13) to $27.2 billion (in 2022-23). With our five year hospital agreements it is due to increase to $30.7 billion in 2024-25.
This means record numbers of hospital services, doctors and nurses.
More Australians are now seeing their doctor without having to pay.
The GP bulk billing rate last year (12 months to June 2021) was 88.8%, up from 82.2% in 2012-13 (Labor’s last year in government).
More than 152.2 million bulk billed GP services were delivered in 2020-21 – 46.4 million more than in 2012-13.
In total, more than $27 billion in total Medicare benefits were paid in 2020-21. This will grow to $30.9 billion in 2021-22.
The Morrison Government has made Medicare subsidised telehealth services permanent, enabling over 100 million (as at April 2022) consultations since the pandemic began.
Since we came into government, more than 2,900 new or amended medicine listings worth $16.5 billion have been added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
These medicines help people suffering from cancer, heart disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and chronic migraines.
Some of these cost thousands of dollars, but are now available for $6.80 (concessional) or $42.50 (general patients) per script.
In the recent Budget, our Government has secured access to more affordable medicines, including treatment for breast cancer, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and spinal muscular atrophy.
We have also listed COVID-19 treatments on the PBS to help prevent vulnerable Australians from developing severe illness.
In the 2022 Budget, we provided greater access to cheaper medicines for 2.4 million Australians with fewer scripts needed for free or further discounted medicines.
And to further reduce costs, a re-elected Morrison Government will also lower the PBS Medicines General Co-payment from 1 January 2023 by $10 per script.
This means the maximum price Australians will pay for PBS medicines drops from $42.50 down to $32.50 per script, a 24 per cent saving. Concession card holders pay only $6.80 per script.
This is the first time the PBS Medicine General Co-payment has been reduced by any Government and will benefit the more than 19 million Australians.
Our Government has invested $375 million for more than 50 additional Medicare-eligible MRI machines, enabling more Australians to access scans for cancer, stroke, heart and other conditions.
We’re now building on this with a further $66 million to deregulate access to Medicare funded MRI services in rural and regional Australia. This will increase access to subsidised, clinically-necessary MRI services putting downward pressure on out-of-pocket costs to consumers and reduce the need to travel for these diagnostic scans.
For the first time, Medicare is covering the cost of MRI and PET scans for breast cancer patients – improving diagnosis and treatment.
We will make new treatments and tests available through Medicare including whole of population genetic testing including for cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy and fragile X syndrome (FXS) for couples who are planning pregnancy or who are already pregnant, to support family planning.
We have taken steps to make private health insurance simpler and more affordable.
Reforms have resulted in the lowest premium changes in 21 years (2.7% in 2022).

There is a fundamental gap in understanding of whether arsenic, a known developmental toxicant, alters maternal immune responses to vaccination and whether exposure to arsenic during pregnancy impairs the transfer of maternal vaccine-induced antibody to the newborn. Moreover, factors known to affect arsenic metabolism and toxicity outcomes, particularly micronutrients critical in one-carbon metabolism, have not been evaluated in studies of arsenic immunotoxicity and vaccine-induced protection in mothers and their newborns. Continued existence of this gap represents an important problem because, until it is filled, optimal points for intervention to prevent arsenic-related immunotoxicity and morbidity during pregnancy and early life will not be known. Our objective is to investigate how maternal arsenic exposure and one-carbon metabolism micronutrient deficiencies alter maternal and newborn influenza antibody titer and avidity, respiratory morbidity, and measures of systemic immune function following maternal influenza vaccination. Our hypothesis is that maternal arsenic exposure and one-carbon metabolism micronutrient deficiencies can alter maternal and newborn influenza antibody titer and avidity, respiratory morbidity, and systemic immune function following influenza vaccination during pregnancy.

Transitioning from male to female is a huge thing to do in your life. As you make this transition, you are bound to encounter many obstacles as you begin to feminise your appearance. Something that many transgender women need to contend with is unwanted hair. Of course, when girls are born female, they have the privilege of being guided through this minefield by their parents, but transitioning as an adult, with no prior body hair removal experience is a challenge. These are your hair removal options:
Electrolysis. The huge benefit of electrolysis is that it's a permanent hair removal solution, unlike something like shaving or waxing. For many transgender women, the growth of body hair can be a reminder of the person they once were, and you may just want to be rid of it altogether with some help from electrolysis. The downfall of this procedure is that it is costly and you'll have to return to the clinic many times before the process is complete. Once it's done, however, you'll be hair free forever. You may experience some redness, itchiness, or dryness for some time after the electric probes are used, but it could worth this for the long-term results.
Laser hair removal. You've no doubt heard of laser hair removal before, but many people don't realise that this procedure doesn't totally remove unwanted hairs. It actually makes them lighter and finer over a period of time. People with light skin and dark hair tend to see the best results with laser hair removal, so if you are Latina or black, this might not be the best option for you. And, again, you have to schedule a number of appointments to see the results you are looking for.
Waxing. Waxing can be applied to every part of the body, and it's a really quick way of removing unwanted hair. Just be aware that the hot wax is going to rip the hairs out of their follicles and if you have very thick, coarse hair, this can be painful. If that's the case, it might be worth thinning the hairs out with laser treatments and then opting for a wax. Although it can sting a little in the moment, waxing removes all unwanted hair, and leaves your skin feeling smooth.
Whichever procedure you opt for, be sure to exfoliate regularly because this will prevent the onset of ingrown hairs after a hair removal procedure. Dry skin can also cause ingrown hairs so keep that skin soft and supple by moisturising daily.

How Pregnancy and Postpartum Transform a Woman's Breasts
Embarking on the miraculous journey of motherhood is a beautiful and transformative experience, with many physical and emotional changes. One of the most noticeable shifts occurs in a woman's breasts, as they prepare to nurture and nourish new life. Whether you're an expectant mother or simply curious about the incredible ways a woman's body adapts during pregnancy and postpartum, this friendly guide will walk you through each stage of this remarkable process.
First Trimester: The Tender Beginning
As the thrilling journey of motherhood begins, many expectant mothers notice some of the earliest physical changes in their breasts. During the first trimester, hormonal shifts, particularly in estrogen and progesterone, set the stage for breast growth. These hormones stimulate the mammary glands to prepare for milk production, often causing increased tenderness and sensitivity. For some, the areolas – the darker skin surrounding the nipples – may also become larger and darker.
Second Trimester: An Abundance of Change
Moving into the second trimester, a mother's breasts will continue to undergo transformations. The milk-producing structures in the breast begin to develop, and breast tissue becomes denser as it fills with ducts and lobules. These changes may cause the breasts to feel heavier or fuller. As the body adapts to accommodate the growing fetus, a mother may notice her breasts increasing in size, sometimes even by a full cup or more.
Third Trimester: The Countdown to Motherhood
As the third trimester unfolds, the breasts are primed for nursing. The Montgomery glands – small, oil-producing glands on the areolas – become more prominent, secreting a lubricant that helps protect the skin during breastfeeding. Some women may also notice a yellowish, thick fluid called colostrum, the "first milk," leaking from their nipples. This nutrient-rich substance will be the newborn's initial sustenance after birth.
Postpartum: The Miracle of Milk
Following childbirth, the breasts enter a dynamic stage as they transition to lactation. Prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production, is released in response to the baby's suckling. Within a few days, the colostrum will be replaced by mature breast milk, which is thinner and more abundant. During this period, it is not uncommon for breasts to feel engorged, swollen, or even painful as the milk supply adjusts to the baby's needs.
Breastfeeding: A Bonding Experience
Breastfeeding not only provides essential nourishment for the infant but also fosters a unique bond between mother and child. The act of nursing triggers the release of oxytocin, the "love hormone," which promotes feelings of relaxation, attachment, and affection. This intimate connection can serve as a source of comfort and support throughout the challenges of new motherhood.
Weaning: The Gradual Goodbye
When the time comes to wean the baby from the breast, the process should ideally be gradual and gentle. As the frequency of nursing decreases, the breasts will produce less milk, eventually returning to their non-lactating state. It is important to note that the breast tissue may not revert precisely to its pre-pregnancy size or shape, and some mothers may experience temporary tenderness or discomfort during this transition.
A New Chapter: Embracing the Transformation
Throughout pregnancy and postpartum, a woman's body undergoes remarkable changes, particularly in her breasts. These transformations are a testament to the power and resilience of motherhood, and they should be embraced with pride. As expecting mothers prepare for the adventure ahead, it is essential to remember that each journey is unique, and the bond that blossoms between mother and child will be a source of strength and love that endures a lifetime

Mold infection symptoms can vary greatly depending on the type of mold infection you have, your age, the current state of your health and how strong your immune system is.
Mold pollution is a key element of indoor air pollution that few people are aware of or understand, and even fewer people consider as a serious cause of health problems.
Mold in your home, school or workplace can pose a number of serious health problems that you may not realize are related to mold exposure.
Some experts believe that up to 40 percent of schools and 30 percent of homes in western countries have mold infestations, unknown to those that live in those buildings. I believe that in hot, humid and damp climates such as here in Bali, those figures could well be a lot higher.
Serious health effects of mold may be reaching pandemic levels.
Mold Infections Can Be Deadly
You may not be aware that molds can make you extremely sick, or even kill you. Yes that’s correct, they can cause potentially fatal health issues.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) all molds have the potential to cause ill health. How sick you become will depend on many factors: the type of mold, what type of exposure you have had and for how long, how old you are and how healthy you are.
At a 2003 environmental medicine symposium in Dallas, studies of more than 1,600 patients suffering health issues related to fungal exposure were presented. These patients experienced major medical problems, including the following mold symptoms and signs of mold exposure:
- Muscle and joint pain
- Shortness of breath
- Headache, anxiety, depression, memory loss, and visual disturbances
- Immune system disturbances and fatigue
- Gastro-intestinal problems
It is important to be aware of these potential problems because your physician may NOT be, as mold infections are not commonly acknowledge by most medical professionals who may not be aware that what you are presenting with are in fact mold infection symptoms.
Mold’s Favorite Places in Your Home
Molds can grow on virtually any substance, provided moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, tile, sheetrock, insulation, leather, fabrics and foods. Molds digest whatever substrate they are growing on, for example your floorboards. It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores from your indoor environment; the only way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. The most common indoor places for mold to take hold are areas such as:
- Bathrooms and kitchens, especially under sinks
- Behind or under appliances that hide slow plumbing leaks (refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, etc.)
- Roof leaks
- Around windows where condensation collects
- High humidity areas of your home, such as basements
Often, the first sign of a mold problem is a “musty” odor. You are probably familiar with the smell of mildew—mildew is simply a variety of mold. You may also notice buckled floorboards, discolored carpet, a new water stain on your wall, or black or white specks—all signs you could be developing a mold problem. But what type of life form is mold?
Types of Molds
Mold is a type of fungus (like mushrooms and yeasts). There are between 100,000 and 400,000 types of fungi (estimates vary), and of these, scientists have identified more than 1,000 types of mold growing inside houses. Molds are classified into three groups according to human responses:
- Allergenic Molds: These don’t usually produce dangerous effects however they can cause problems if you are allergic or asthmatic. Children are particularly susceptible to mold allergies.
- Pathogenic Molds: These produce some sort of infection, which is of particular concern if your immune system is suppressed. They can cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, an acute response resembling bacterial pneumonia. An example is Aspergillus fumigatus, which can grow in the lungs of immune-compromised individuals.
- Toxic Molds: These dangerous molds produce mycotoxins, which can have serious health effects on almost anyone. Possible reactions include immunosuppression and cancer. Mycotoxins are chemical toxins present within or on the surface of the mold spore, which you then unwittingly inhale, ingest, or touch. An example of this is aflatoxin, one of the most potent carcinogens known to mankind. Aflatoxin grows on peanuts and grains, and on some other foods.
The five most common indoor mold varieties are:
- Alternaria: This is found in your nose, mouth and upper respiratory tract; can cause allergic responses.
- Aspergillus: This is found in warm, extremely damp climates and produces mycotoxins; can cause lung infections (aspergillosis).
- Cladosporium: This very common outdoor fungus can find its way indoors to grow on textiles, wood and other damp, porous materials; triggers hay fever and asthma symptoms.
- Penicillium: Very common species found on wallpaper, decaying fabrics, carpet, and fiberglass duct insulation; known for causing allergies and asthma; some species produce mycotoxins, one being the common antibiotic penicillin.
- Stachybotrys: Extremely toxic “black mold” that produces mycotoxins that can cause serious breathing difficulties and bleeding of the lungs, among other health problems; thankfully, less common in homes than the other four, but not rare; found on wood or paper (cellulose products), but NOT on concrete, linoleum or tile
Mycotoxins: Deadly Poisons
Molds produce a number of powerful substances that can cause very serious health consequences and even death.
Some mold compounds are volatile and released directly into the air, known as microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). Fragments of the cell walls of molds can also be inhaled and cause inflammatory respiratory reactions, including a flu-like illness called Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome (ODTS).
But the most serious danger comes from highly poisonous agents called mycotoxins.
More than 200 mycotoxins have been identified from common molds. Mycotoxins interfere with RNA synthesis and may cause DNA damage. The mycotoxins most commonly studied by researchers are the trichothecenes, produced by Stachybotyrs chartarum and Aspergillus versicolor. Mycotoxins, even in very tiny quantities, are lipid-soluble and readily absorbed by your intestinal lining, airways and skin. Some are so poisonous that they have been studied and developed as biological warfare agents as far back as the 1940s. Aflatoxin and trichothecenes are examples.
Dead mold spores that are no longer able to reproduce can still harm your health due to these mycotoxins.. The spores do not produce the toxins—rather, it is thought that the toxins are produced when the spores are produced, by the mold colony.
Mycotoxins can affect virtually every organ or system of your body, for example:
Vascular System: blood vessel fragility, hemorrhage from tissues or lungs.
Respiratory System: breathing problems, bleeding from lungs.
Skin: rashes, burning, sloughing, photosensitivity.
Reproductive System: infertility, irregular menstrual cycles.
Digestive System: diarrhea, vomiting, hemorrhage, liver damage, fibrosis and necrosis.
Neurological System: headaches, tremors, depression, loss of coordination, multiple sclerosis.
Urinary System: kidney toxicity and failure.
Immune: Immunosuppression and associated immune deficiencies leading to serious infections and possibly cancers.
Mold sinus infection is also exceedingly common and very often misdiagnosed.
A 1999 Mayo Clinic press release stated:
“Mayo Clinic researchers say they have found the cause of most chronic sinus infections—an immune system response to fungus.
This points to an enormous number of chronic sinus infections that are being misdiagnosed and mistreated!
Treatment For Mold Infection
Most doctors will probably use either all or some of the following for treating mold infections: nasal corticosteroids, antibiotics, antidepressants, and antifungal medications. Steroids lead to a suppression of your immune system if used in high doses and would be counterproductive long term in my opinion.
Antibiotics are not effective against fungal or mold infections and would only cause further problems. Antidepressants tend to be used when the doctor doesn’t believe you have a mold infection and feels that your problems are in your head.
Antifungal drugs are quite toxic, especially to your liver. For example, the drug Lamisil (terbinafine), used to treat toenail fungus, is so toxic that its manufacturer Novartis warns you in their product insert that Lamisil has resulted in liver failure, the need for liver transplants, and death.
Nystatin is another antifungal that is used both orally and topically for Candida overgrowth. However, nystatin is poorly absorbed by your gastrointestinal tract and is not intended to treat mold infections or systemic fungal disease.
Fungi, including yeast and molds, need sugar in order to survive. So what you put into your body is very important when it comes to your recovery from a mold infection.
Fungi will thrive on a diet high in fructose, sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk sugar) and other sugars, so you are best served to starve them of these foods in order to attempt to remove them from your body.
Combine this with an intense whole body detoxification and mold removal program and you will be on your way to ridding your self of any mold or fungal infection once and for all and eliminating all of your mold infection symptoms.


Dawn started her career in healthcare 14 years ago when she graduated with an associates degree in Radiology. She found her place in the healthcare world at a local Orthopedic clinic for 12 of those years. This is where she soon realized the best part of her job was the patients she encountered on a daily basis. Assisting them through a difficult time and watching them as they healed. She just knew there was more she could do to help people. Massage and essential oils provide a more natural, less invasive approach with great results.

"People on the standard diet consume an average of a pound of inorganic toxins per year, this in the form of food additives, drug residues, and indigestible foods. Environmental and work hazards merely add to the toll on the liver."
(see also Dr.Anderson's statement below regarding the liver and cleansing)
Toxins exist everywhere and can lead to serious health problems. They are in food and the environment, and persist because of our insufficient metabolic ability to rid the body of all that we are exposed to on a daily basis. They can drain the body of energy and make one more susceptible to disease and infection. Toxins tend to concentrate in the liver and gastrointestinal tract, both places responsible for eliminating toxins from the body.
Through detoxification, we clear and filter toxins and wastes and allow our body to work on enhancing its basic functions.
Our body handles toxins by neutralizing, transforming, or eliminating them. As examples, many antioxidant nutrients may neutralize free-radical molecules. The liver helps transform many toxic substances into harmless agents, while the blood carries wastes to the kidneys; the liver also dumps wastes through the bile into the intestines, where much waste is eliminated. We also clear toxins through sweating, from exercise or heat. Our sinuses and skin may also be accessory elimination organs whereby excess mucus or toxins can be released, as with sinus congestion or skin rashes, respectively.
The average diet which tends to be high in sugars and refined products and low in fiber contributes to the build up of "mucoid plaque" along the gastrointestinal tract.
This "mucoid plaque " prevents proper digestion, and as a result a large percentage of people are suffering from malnutrition no matter how much they eat, or how nutritious the food is.
Fiber is very important in the process of elimination of wastes from the bowel and a lack of fiber can lead to muscles of the colon wall losing their tone which can result in IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome now affecting one in five Americans) and diverticulitis.
The liver is one of the main keys to good health and vitality. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Traditions has long recognized this importance. There are over 500 known functions of the liver, many of which are essential for life, all of which are essential for good health and vitality. It is almost impossible for any disease condition to develop until the liver becomes sluggish and weak. The average person is using only 40% of the liver's capacity.
Ashitaba has long been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to strengthen the liver and kidneys, reduce congestion in the liver and purify the blood - enhancing the body's own ability to heal itself.
Dr. Anderson has explained in his new books, "Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book One" and "Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book Two," that: "The digestive system is the hub of the entire body. It feeds all our glands, organs and in fact, every single cell. When the digestive system becomes sluggish, over-acid, and toxic it becomes less and less efficient. After the bowel becomes unnaturally acidic, it attempts to protect itself by secreting a glycoprotein substance that lines the entire intestinal wall, 'mucoid plaque.' Indeed, this condition can occur anywhere in the digestive tract where over acidity arises, including the esophagus, the stomach, the entire small intestine and colon. Once this develops, proper digestion becomes more and more dysfunctional. Then one problem occurs after another, and the bowel becomes a toxic sewer system. Once the bowel becomes toxic, the blood becomes toxic, for all the blood coming from the bowel, carrying the necessary nutrients to feed the heart, lungs, brain, muscles, etc. goes to the liver - nowhere else.
Then the liver must deal with the toxic blood. After years of relentless toxicity from the bowel, the liver becomes more and more sluggish. After a while it no longer functions efficiently and toxic overloads begin to go to other parts of the body, such as the kidneys, heart, brain, joints, skin, Lymph, etc. Disease manifests where the toxins settle. For when there is toxic settlement, there is lack of circulation, lack of oxygen and nutrients."
