Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add about 12 inch (1.3cm) of water to a pot. Fill your metal steamer basket with eggs. Set your timer for 6-12 minutes.

Answer: Placing your pot under the kitchen sink is the easiest way to get the amount of water you need. You can also put some water in a pitcher and pour it into your pot. Remember, the water doesn't need to cover your eggs at all. You only need enough water to create steam inside your pot. It's perfectly OK to eyeball 12 inch (1.3cm) of water. Slightly more or slightly less won't hurt the steaming process. A metal colander works the same as a steamer basket. You can place one egg gently in the steamer basket or as many as will fit. You can steam one egg for breakfast or a quick snack, or steam a bunch of eggs to keep on hand for later. A little bit of water visible in the bottom of your steamer basket won't interfere with steaming your eggs. You should set the timer to 6 minutes for a soft boil and 12 minutes for a hard boil. You can keep track of your steaming time by monitoring your kitchen clock. Ideally, it's a good idea to use a timer with an alarm, in case you get distracted. At this point, you want to rely on your timer and avoid opening the pot to check the eggs. Letting out the steam while the eggs are in the pot can interfere with the steaming process.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be skeptical of "immune-boosting" products. Increase your intake of Zinc. Make sure you are getting enough copper. Get enough vitamin C. Be mindful of your vitamin A levels. Take vitamin E. Try other natural remedies. Consider colostrum supplementation. Talk to your doctor about immunoglobulin injections.

Answer: There is no scientific evidence that has proven that increasing the number of immune-fighting cells is a good thing. In fact, in some cases, increasing the number of certain "good" cells in your body can increase the risk of stroke.Medically speaking, the best thing you can do for your immune system is to live a healthy daily lifestyle and get proper and timely medical treatment for illnesses and infections. Zinc is one of the most important components of enzymes present in white blood cells, and a deficiency of this mineral can result in a weaker immune system. You can get zinc from meat, fish, and milk. Supplements are also available, but you should consult your doctor before taking them regularly. You only need a very small amount of copper to be healthy (the total amount of copper in a healthy human body is only around 75-100 milligrams ), but it does play a very important role in metabolic and immune function, neutralizing free radicals and possibly even reducing some of their harmful effects You can get copper from organ meats, leafy green vegetables, and cereals. That being said, too much copper can cause it to act as a pro-oxidant in your body, and in larger quantities it may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. As such, you should exercise caution and be sure to check with your doctor before increasing your copper intake. Vitamin C increases your white blood cell count and enhances the cells' effectiveness. It is also an antioxidant, which means that it prevents the destruction of existing white blood cells. In addition to supplements, you can get vitamin C from oranges, berries, and most citrus fruits. For adults, tolerable upper intake levels of vitamin C are about 2,000 mg . Vitamin A is also an antioxidant, and helps your immune system to function more efficiently. In addition to supplements, you can get vitamin A from carrots, tomatoes, chilis, and squash. Vitamin E, like vitamins C and A, is an antioxidant, and is also beneficial for your skin and eyesight. In addition to supplements, you can find vitamin E in olive oil, nuts, and some fruits and vegetables. Echinacea, ginseng, aloe vera, and green tea are all said to boost your white blood cell count. Selenium is found in tuna, beef, and Brazil nuts. If you have a weak immune system, you may need supplementation. Colostrum powder containing immunoglobulins is a convenient option since it is available over the counter (without a prescription) in the form capsules for oral consumption. For most people, a month of consumption is adequate every five years. If you have an especially weak immune system, you may need intravenous injections of immunoglobulins (polyvalent IgG antibodies) extracted from donor human blood. This is always by a doctor's advice and only if you have primary immune deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, severe inflammatory diseases, or acute infections.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Acquire 2-way or 4-way stretching vinyl. Place your vinyl facedown on a firm surface. Turn on a heat gun and set it to high. Hold the gun 7in (18cm) above the fabric and move it in a Z pattern. Heat the fabric until it is about 100F (38C).

Answer: Not all types of vinyl fabric have stretching capabilities. If you plan on expanding your fabric, make sure you purchase 1 of the following vinyl variants from a specialty fabric store: Two-way vinyl, which only stretches from left to right but is thicker and far more durable than 4-way vinyl. Four-way vinyl, which stretches both vertically and horizontally but is far thinner than 2-way vinyl, making it more susceptible to tears. Find a flat, clean table or working surface that has enough space for your vinyl. Then, lay the fabric on top of the table with the shiny side facing down. If you're stretching out vinyl clothing, see if you can unzip the garment and lay it out flat. If you can't, simply place it on the table as is. To successfully stretch a piece of vinyl, you'll need to heat the fabric to incredibly hot temperatures. This is best accomplished by using a handheld heat gun turned to its hottest temperature setting. You can find heat guns at most home improvement stores. Check your heat gun's instruction manual for information on how to change its temperature setting. If you don't have a heat gun, you can use a standard hair dryer turned to its hottest setting instead. Place your heat gun or hair dryer 6 to 8in (15 to 20cm) above the fabric. Then, move it over the vinyl in a Z pattern to heat the material up. Make sure you keep the gun moving to avoid burning the vinyl. Tilt the Z after every pass to heat the fabric evenly. For the best results, heat your fabric in 1sqft (930cm2) increments. If a part of your vinyl isn't heating up as quickly as the surrounding fabric, move the gun close to, but not touching, it for about half a second. In most cases, vinyl is ready to stretch when it is between 90 and 110F (32 and 43C), or almost hot enough to burn your hands. The heating process will normally take between 1 and 3 minutes, though the exact amount of time will depend on how powerful your heat gun or hair dryer is. You can use a surface thermometer to find the temperature of your vinyl fabric.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider radiation therapy. Consider chemotherapy medications as an option. Talk to your doctor about Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan). Take Doxorubicin. Try Vincristine (Oncovin). Treat thymoma with Cisplatin (Platinol-AQ).

Answer:
Talk to your doctor about radiation therapy if you have stage III or IV thymoma. This treatment involves the use of high energy x-rays and other forms of radiation to eradicate cancer cells and stop new cells from forming. The type of radiation you receive may depend on the stage and type of thymoma you have. External radiation utilizes a machine outside the body in order to send the radiation towards the cancer. Internal radiation therapy, on the other hand, uses radioactive substances found in wires, catheters, needles, and seeds placed near or directly into the cancer. Chemotherapy can be used to reduce thymoma tumors. This treatment is generally used for people who have an invasive thymoma that has spread to other organs. The drugs that are used during chemotherapy include cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and cisplatin. These medications will be described in detail in the following steps. Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) is a drug that is used to treat various types of cancer. This drug is converted by the liver and made into acrolein and phosphoramide (active compounds that slow down the growth of cancer cells by disrupting the DNA of cancerous cells). This can help to shrink and treat the thymoma. Dosage is given initially at 30 to 50 mg/kg, administered intravenously during a period of 2 to 5 days. This dosage is then repeated in 2 to 4 weeks interval. Orally, 1 to 5 mg/kg of this drug can be taken every day. Doxorubicin is another chemotherapeutic agent used with other drugs to treat various types of cancer, including thymoma. This drug works to slow down, and in some cases completely stop, the growth of cancer cells in your body. This drug is generally administered intravenously once every 21 to 28 days. The length of the treatment depends on the response of the tumor to the medication, as well as the response of your body to certain side effects. Vincristine (Oncovin) is a chemotherapeutic drug used with other drugs to stop or slow down the growth of cancer cells in the body. This drug is administered intravenously. Cisplatin (Platinol-AQ) is another chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of various cancers. This is used alone or in combination with other agents, such as the ones described in the previous steps. It works to slow down or completely stop the growth of cancer cells in your body. Doctors generally give this drug intravenously. They may prescribe 75 to 100 mg/m every four weeks, depending on what other chemotherapy drugs you are prescribed.
