Selenium and vitamin E supplements may double your risk of prostate cancer, especially if you have low levels of selenium to begin with. There are some supplements that will naturally help you fight prostate cancer. Naturally occurring folate, a B vitamin, has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. You should not take folic acid, which is a synthetic form of folate, because it has been found to increase the risk of prostate cancer. You should also try to maintain an adequate level of zinc. While there is conflicting evidence, zinc is considered protective against prostate cancer, while zinc deficiency or an excess of zinc may promote the development of prostate cancer. A study done at the National Institutes of Health revealed no association between multivitamin use and the risk of prostate cancer. You can also explore herbal options to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. In a laboratory test, the herbal mixture of ginger, oregano, rosemary, and green tea sold under the brand name Zyflamend reduced the growth of prostate cancer cells by 78%.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You've made it this far, so give yourself some credit. You have survived everything thrown at you up to this point. This is evidence that you can handle anything. Make a list of all the difficult things you have survived to create a visual acknowledgement of your strength and resilience. Your next hardship will just be one more triumph to add to the list. It may be hard to share your troubles because you don't trust others to care or be supportive. That is an unfair assessment of most of the population. Give people a chance to show you they care. Sharing your struggles will help you to feel less alone, and the responses of others may reveal untapped resources. If you truly believe nobody in your current social network will understand or support you, seek out new relationships by joining support groups or community organizations. This is not a call to go to church, though spirituality does provide many with a sense of meaning and hope. Witnessing the good in the world is not reserved for the religious. If you are struggling to come up with examples of people overcoming adversity, research stories of hope online. You will find instances of people triumphing in circumstances similar to your own.

SUMMARY: Trust yourself. Be open to support from others. Have faith in the world.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll want the length of your beading line to be longer than your target length. This will allow you extra line if you make a mistake or need to tie a knot. Also, many designs will make use of clasps, and extra line will make the ends of your jewelry easier to work with. Gauge the appropriate length of your jewelry for your project by holding your line up to the body part it is intended to be worn on. You may need to wrap your line around the body part to get the most accurate idea of the length of line you'll need. Use your wire cutters to cut your cord approximately 3" (7.6 cm) longer than the target length of your bracelet. You can also use a bead board to measure out the length of your line more accurately by aligning your cord with the length markings on the board. If you plan on making your bracelet or other beaded jewelry without a clasp, you may want to string your beads on elastic cord so it can flex to fit the wearer. If using a non-elastic line, make sure your line is big enough to fit over the widest section of the body part the jewelry is intended for. This way, the bracelet can be slipped on and off. To prevent beads from falling off the end of the cord, tie one bead approximately 1" (2.5 cm) from the end, using an overhand knot or a square knot. Pull the knot lightly so it is tight enough to hold in place, but loose enough that you can remove and use this bead later if you like. Slide your beads down the length of your line to meet the stopper-bead you have tied to the knotted end. Your pattern will be added to the cord starting from that end, so you should start add beads from your pattern in sequence, from one end of the pattern to the end. It's easy to get carried away when beading! Don't worry if you think you've gone too far, simply drape your jewelry across the body part it's intended for to check the length. In the case of the guided example, hold the bracelet by the loose end to prevent losing any beads, and check to see that the design stretches all the way around the wrist. Feel free to add or subtract beads as necessary. If you have decided not to use a clasp to join the ends of your bracelet, finish ends by tying them together in a surgeon's knot. This simple knot can be accomplished by: Creating a loop with both ends of your line. Feeding the ends through the loop and upward. Taking the ends around the top of the loop and back around and through it. Pulling the ends to tighten the knot. Adding a dab of superglue to the knot can further strengthen it (optional). When the glue is dry, use scissors to trim cord ends.

SUMMARY: Determine the length of your jewelry. Cut your line to your desired length. Tie a bead to one end of your line. String beads from the unknotted end. Check the length. Knot the ends together if forgoing a clasp.
