4 Fun Ways to Ease Anxiety

Getting rid of a case of the jitters doesn’t always have to be a trip to the doc, meds or time consuming. Laughter, yoga, hanging with friends, a funny movie….these are a few easy ways to ease anxiety…….

Amazing how much can change in so short a time. Last post I was plagued by a need for a job and no hopeful prospects. Now, I have a seemingly ideal job with contract signed and certification starting in three days. I’m going to be an English teacher at Gaba. They’re an English-teaching company in Japan that specializes in one-one-one lessons (“man-to-man”, as they call it, which of course sounds awful). I applied two months ago, and then again one month ago, and then again this month, because they put out a job posting on Gaijinpot.com every month (or maybe that’s just because they weren’t getting enough teachers – but if that were the case why didn’t they contact me sooner?). They were actually where I applied first this year, but after hearing nothing but a single rejection letter in two months, I had all but given up hope. I wasn’t going to apply in November, but I just happened to remember about the website after leaving in search of a Japanese job, and whaddaya know, I get the job this time.

I remember thinking as I applied for November that it would probably ironically work out this time, simply because I had come so far since my first time applying, in terms of courage to call (even Japanese) employers and do interviews, etc. Those were things worth learning, so I can’t be too mad that I didn’t get the job until now.

However, I’m definitely glad for it now. I was getting worried.

I felt so out of place at the first interview (information seminar, then brief cursory interview). There were probably eight of us, and though I probably looked fairly similar to the rest of the applicants, I felt so conspicuous. They all looked exactly like the stereotype of a Caucasian English teacher in Japan, mostly due to their formal dress. Like I said, I was dressed up too so I probably looked far less out of place than I felt. I think I was the youngest.

Another thing worth mentioning is that having grown up in Japan, I naturally assume that any foreigner I see on the street has less experience with the culture than me. So I avoid interaction with them, seeing as they will sooner or later do something extremely stupid and embarrassing and I will be associated with them because, to a Japanese, I look just like them. Funny, isn’t it? I’m a foreigner, and yet I’ve developed the same attitude towards them as the Japanese, that is, “He is a gaijin, he must be stupid and culturally inept. Must distance, must distance.” I only realized this a few years ago when I worked here with guy from America and he noted, “Foreigners here don’t associate with each other, do they? They almost seem hostile.” Yeah. You are embarrassing me, go away.

But now I willingly thrust myself into that environment and I’m going to stay in it because now they’re my colleagues. Ha. I don’t mind terribly. They’re interesting people. I’m just being forced to embrace my foreign self more than I’m used to doing when I’m here in Japan.

It’s quite an ideal job though. I submit when I’m willing to work each month and the clients sign up for times on the website. I can work as much or as little as I please. I hope there are a lot of students, because I want to earn a lot. I’m also going to be teaching kids. I was relieved to hear that that’s also one-on-one, because one kid is easier to manage than a group. I just hope I can keep him/her happy.

Most of the lessons are “blue-booked”, meaning that the client chooses the instructor based on prior experience or maybe just the profile and ten-second video on the website. I wonder how appealing mine is. It was quite awkward taking it, I hate those situations. It was funny to imagine weird videos though; for example the stereotypical American who came to Japan for the anime and maids and whatever else, and now finds that he still needs money to live on in his fantasy country. So he somehow manages to get a job with Gaba, and in his profile video belts out, “Konichiwa! My name is Bob Smith, I’m an otaku! I love Japan!!” And I imagine him doing the awesome Andy “I love Japan!!” face which involves him rolling his eyes back and…you know, better than me trying to explain it would be simply showing you. Here. Enjoy.

Like I said, he’s awesome. I don’t think he’ll mind me shooting him a little traffic, although maybe yes if I’m acquiring all sorts of creepy readers. Which I don’t think is the case, seeing as my daily view count is still in the single digits.

So now I have a job and will soon have a (presumably) stable source of income, but I’m still curious about making money with a blog. I figure it’s only a matter of time before word gets out about this, and then I’ll hardly know what to do with all the traffic. I hope you know me well enough by now to understand just how seriously I believe that sentence.

I was looking into putting ads on blogs, and I haven’t looked very far, but it seems to be very simple. I’ve also heard that you need at least a hundred views daily to start making money. Any thoughts on that? Yes, I know that I could just find a blog on that very topic, but I’m giving you a chance to speak up. Actually that’s wrong, you’ve had that chance ever since you stumbled onto this little waste pile of cognition. Now I’m giving you the invitation.

And everything is of course so much brighter now that I have a job coming. I can enjoy life. I can open my shutters and breathe in the sunlight. I can also get back to studying Japanese, because that test is closer than ever and I have so much left to study.

I have a lot of things I want to write to you about but it will have to wait because I’m still busy. I’ve worn a suit every day for the past three days – but I need to get used to it, because with Gaba’s dress code I’ll likely be wearing a suit six days a week from now on. I want to buy a suit rather than borrow my dad’s forever. I wonder if they have my size here, if it won’t be astronomically expensive, and if it will look cool.

Study time.

I suggest the bulk size. It takes about 3 months to feel any difference or notice a change.

My personal testimony:

I do alot of standing and lifting working part time in a store environment. I started getting some leg spasms as a result. This product and the other supplements have really started to make a difference in the way I feel and sleep at night.

I am supplementing my income with Tampogo, and working from home. You can jump to the website, click to browse, see my name at the top of the site and my phone number, give me a call, leave a message, go to the bottom of this page, leave a comment because I’d love to hear from you.

Night Cap has 2 grams of Gaba per serving.

It tastes like Fruit Punch, so if you like fruit punch, then you’ll love the taste. Experience the power of nature’s Fountain of Youth with a one ounce of pleasant tasting Night Cap before bed, on an empty stomach. It is a great alternative to administer GABA other than taking vitamin caps all the time.

What Is GABA?
While neurons produce it naturally, a GABA supplement can help you experience the many benefits of GABA. Without getting too scientific, GABA is an important chemical within the human brain. It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, and as such it serves the brain by regulating the firing of neurons.

The GABA Experience
The sensation that gamma-aminobutyric acid gives is unique, and unlike any other commercially available natural supplement or drug. The descriptions vary from individual to individual, but the overall consensus is that there is something very special about natural GABA.

Increase in the level of Human Growth Hormones (HGH)
As you advance in age, HGH continues to be made and stored by the brain, but its level of secretion decreases. The lack of circulating HGH is the factor that scientist now believe is responsible for the difficulty in losing body fat as you get older. Studies have shown that HGH levels increase over five times the previous levels as soon as 90 minutes following GABA supplementation.

Our chemists at Pure Chemistry Nutritionals seized on this body shaping, weight loss breakthrough and created Night Cap. Night Cap contains 2 full grams of ABU 48(I) GABA in a fast acting, super absorbable liquid base.

Induces relaxation and sleep
GABA is an amino acid that stimulates the anterior pituitary gland and encourages it to secrete more Human Growth Hormone (HGH) HGH is known to provide lipotropic (fat cell oxidation) effects. It is also known to have a stabilizing effect on blood sugar and can be helpful in sleeping well at night.

GABA signals the pituitary to naturally release Human Growth Hormone (HGH) during sleep, increasing circulating levels 500 percent above normal. Elevating one’s levels of HGH leads to a significant decrease in fat storage, in increased daytime energy, in smoother skin, in more restful sleep and in an increased ability to make muscle lean tissue.

Reduces muscle tension
Without gamma-aminobutyric acid, your muscles would be constantly tense, your mind would never stop racing, and your overall ability to function would be severely impaired.

Reduces stress, anxiety and depression and promotes well being

Ever wonder why you feel so good and refreshed after a yoga class? “I tend to feel amazing, and I enjoy the calming effects” say some of my students.  Practicing yoga and meditation can affect your brain in a positive way. You can definitely notice a positive difference after attending a yoga session. Even the geeks, scientists,  researchers and my neighbors are now studying how yoga affects the brain.

Courtsey-TopNewsHealth.in

Studies have been made to prove that after one yoga session, the GABA levels in your brain increase. Anti-depressants (pills that about 27million Americans pop every day as Mentos) also work by boosting these GABA levels. Yoga seems to be the better choice for depression, anxiety and stress, since there are no side effects and many benefits for your mind, body and soul.

Hang on, before you start the guessing game, let me tell you pop freaks that GABA has nothing to do with Lady GAGA or her sister Lady GABA (just guessing ) .. Well to be precise GABA is one of numerous neurotransmitters in the brain that sends messages from one part of the brain to another. High GABA levels are associated with a calming, relaxing effect, whereas low levels are associated with anxiety and stress.

Courtsey-Thetakeaway.org

Yoga can improve your cognitive functions and memory by reducing the stress levels in your body. When you are stressed, your body releases cortisol, also known as the “stress hormone” into the blood stream, which uses up a lot of glucose in the body. This leads to a fuel deficit for your brain. Too much cortisol produces high amounts of free radicals which damages your brain cells. I know it says “free” here, but mind you it’s not something you want… please note the following words, it says “brain damage!!!”

Stress also causes physiological changes that impact the brain and body. 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic in nature. This means they all originate due to disturbances in the brain/mind. You end up using your dominant brain side for organizing thought patterns instead of using your whole brain power to make better decisions and enhance you performance and coordination. Practicing yoga can help retrain your brain and body connection to release old automatic thought patterns and negative habits. The goal is to have what we “think” and “do” to be aligned and function in pure balance.

Body movements can enhance, manufacture and balance the flow of energy in your body. Fast movements produce more endorphins = happiness, and slower movements stimulate the production of dopamine = adrenaline. This is all happening in the front part of your brain.

Yoga is a great way to balance both brain hemispheres at the same time. Eagle pose is a good example. By moving opposite arms and legs at the same time you stimulate, reactivate the whole brain. Basically you’re giving your brain a wake up call. As you do this, you encourage dopamine, while enhancing your ability to see things clearly. –Disclaimer- please continue to wear contacts or spectacles if you need to. I am not addressing myopia here. Your mind always tends to feel more at ease after a yoga class. Your thinking patterns are more positive and clear, your concentration and focus is greatly improved and your problem solving skills are enhanced. Hhmm…I think I am ready for a promotion already. Are you???

Restless Legs (Ekbom’s) Syndrome, common with iron deficiency, diabetes,  kidney failure etc,  is bad enough. But combination  with restless genitals is an awful prospect. Normally it is men who famously have restless genitals that cannot be sated…

Sandra Leiblum first described persistent genital arousal disorder in women in 2001, and since then has reported on some 171 cases in New Jersey.

Marcel Waldinger now reports on some 23 cases in the Netherlands;  with average age  of onset around 50years ie menopause. His group has now characterized this disorder as having:

restless leg syndrome and/or an overactive bladder, urethral hypersensitivity; involuntary genital arousal with unprovoked orgasms, onset often during early menopause, as well as the 5 diagnostic criteria of persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) -  :

• Persists for an extended period of time (hours, days, and/or months)
• Does not go away after 1 or more orgasms
• Is unrelated to subjective feelings of sexual desire
• Feels intrusive and unwanted; and
• Causes distress.                                                                                                                                                  They find it is  is “highly associated with pelvic varices (in all on pelvic MRI scan) and with mechanical sensory neuropathy of the dorsal clitoral and pudendal nerves, whose symptoms are suggestive for small fiber neuropathy (SFN).                                    Although all the women reported varying degrees of social withdrawal, desperate feelings, dysthymia, agitation, or depressed mood directly caused by persistent unwanted genital sensations, none were known to have previous psychiatric disorders.”

Leiblum discriminates such disorder from Female Sexual Arousal Disorder on the basis that “FSAD women displayed the greatest problems in desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and pain while women with PGAD reported somewhat more desire than the control group but did not meet the cutoff score for sexual dysfunction.

It is strange that no other gyne or sexual health clinics in the world have  so far reported clusters of such patients as have these two clinics in New Jersey and Den Hage .

Leiblum ea could elicit only perhaps 1 such case (ie 1%) at a sexual health clinic in London UK. From an Internet survey she reported in 2007 that  in the 50% of cases who had all 5 diagnostic criteria, “ they were significantly more likely to be depressed (55% vs. 38% who did not have all 5) and to report panic attacks (31.6% vs. 14.6%). They were more anxious and more likely to monitor their physical sensations. Both groups reported high rates of childhood and adult sexual abuse, although the PGA women reported a higher prevalence of sexual victimization. They were significantly more likely to endorse negative feelings about their genital sensations and also more likely to complain of chronic fatigue syndrome than women without the condition (10% vs. 0%). There were no significant relationships with pharmacologic agents and symptoms.  It is hypothesized that for a subset of women, psychological factors, namely anxiety, reinforce exacerbate and maintain PGAD.”

But they have  anything but nymphomania (origin 1775: Oxford English dictionary), although they may be so mislabeled ie pseudo-nymhomania (Fenichel 1933). Kinsey’s 1948 book on Female Sexual Responsiveness did not even mention, index nymphomania.  Kuperman 1961  in his chapter on Sex Hormones unknowingly  implies the  difference between nymphomania and pseudonymphomania: “nymphomania may occasionally be treated successfully and paradoxically with androgens.. these patients who respond to androgens by a decrease in desire for frequent stimulation are probably those who have been unable to achieve satisfying orgasm, which androgen provides..   in other such patients, progesterone suppositories as an antiandrogen agent may diminish unwanted desire and erotic tendencies. “

Stuckey ea describe a single case who was cured by coil embolization of pelvic varicose veins- a more realistic therapy than embolization of the clitoris to infarct it, or amputation as was practiced by eminent UK physicians in Victorian times.. .

MANAGEMENT:

Women with  RGS/PGAS do not have either a central  arousal disorder or  craving for love/attention,  but vascular- neuropathic clitoral engorgement; which topical progesterone or anaesthetic eg lignocaine cream  may relieve by treating the endpoint, not the cause.

If varices are the strong associate, perhaps it is worth considering the pathophysiology of varices, which are apparently often associated with sensory neuropathy, presumably through swelling pressure on nerves – local varicose oedema. Vercellini ea note that pelvic varices are one common cause of pelvic pain in women.

Increased pressure and thrombosis  aside, varicose veins are strongly associated with female gender, ie with testosterone:estrogen level about 1/200th of that in middle-aged men, and  loss of collagen  (ie ascorbic acid) in smooth muscle and extracellular matrix.

Higher female estrogen  is associated with stronger bones, and oedema, stress incontinence and vascular relaxation; but it notoriously contributes nothing to muscle growth and strength except in the unique uterus itself – only estrogen  grows the  uterus.  Only androgen grows body muscle mass and strength. From early menopause, testosterone falls gradually;  but especially with fattening, estradiol falls gradually but fat-derived estrone increases, reversing the premenopausal estradiol>estrone dominance. Hence across midlife women mostly shrink their skeletons and lean mass but expand their fat mass steadily- ie couch potatoes develop increasing fatness frailty.

Hence (compression stockings for varicose legs aside), especially in women, apart from raising the legs, the foot of the bed at night, we commonly see varicose vein discomfort and distension in the legs and anus (piles) relieved by a few grams of bioflavinoid – ascorbic acid blend a day. A topical cream may augment this.

And as regards neuropathy of the legs, apart from GABA plus 5HTP for nonspecific relief, we often see significant improvement with a vigorous blend of nerve nutrients including vitamins BCo, zinc and alphalipoic acid.

It may add to understanding of this awful problem if other sufferers contribute their experience. Anonymity will obviously be preserved if their comments are published.

Lindane is an organochlorine … [mid edit]

And at this time, I will truly go insane;
my nervous system shot by the use of the lindane.
It is this lotion on my generation tested,
this time it’s gone too far, my body is infested.

- Infested: The Lindane Conspiracy Part 1 by NYC Punk/Ska band Choking Victim

Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, including heptachlor, chlordane, dieldrin and toxaphene are all potent GABR blockers, and although their use was discontinued in the United States between 1987 and 1990, their persistence in the environment and human tissues remains a concern. Several uses of lindane, a potent GABR blocker, continue, including control of head lice and scabies. A newer class of noncompetitive GABR antagonists, the 4-alkyl-1phenylpyrazols that include fipronil, is being used for both domestic and agricultural applications. This raises important questions as to whether heritable GABR deficiencies known to occur in children with autism confer heightened susceptibility to adverse responses produced by environmental exposure to GABR blockers.

Stressed? Tired? “Calgon, take me away!” Wait a minute, who really has time for that?  In today’s hectic, fast paced world you need something that can calm you, refocus you without taking you away from what really needs to be done.  The Jones Gaba brings you clarity, calmness and as a mother, the fact that it is all natural is a huge plus.   With the Jones Gaba my teenagers can focus on the work that needs to be done and I don’t need to worry about what they are drinking.  I personally felt refreshed and revived after drinking my Jones Gaba.

What is GABA and why it works~GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid)  increases alpha brain waves, which produce feelings of “in the zone” calmness and relaxation.  GABA also decreases beta brain waves, which produce feelings of nervousness and anxiety. Those beta waves are the waves of distraction. They get in your way and muddle your mind.  Pretty amazing stuff.  If you want to know more about this check out the Jones Gaba website.

Jones Gaba comes in 4 different flavors.  The smell of the tea is very strong and at first thought I was expecting a strong tasting drink.  Once I tried my first Jones Gaba I was pleasantly surprised at the hint of flavor in my drink.  The fact that it wasn’t too overpowering I was able to enjoy the entire can.

Check out Jones Gaba for yourself and let Jones Gaba…. Take you away without really taking you away from life!

von Hans – Willi Herrmann
Schon zum zweiten Mal innerhalb von kurze Zeit bin ich in der dentalen Regenbogenpresse auf folgende Meldung gestoßen.
Sie verfolgt mich gewissermaßen.
Beim ersten Mal habe ich noch geschwiegen, aber jetzt muss es raus.
Doch zunächst der Tatbestand:

DGZ und GABA verleihen Praktikerpreis

Auszeichnung geht an Dr. Stefan Rupf für seinen Vortrag zum Thema Wurzelkanalbehandlungen

Hannover, 18. Mai 2009 – Erneut hat die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zahnerhaltung (DGZ) auf ihrer Jahrestagung den GABA Praktikerpreis der DGZ für herausragende praxisorientierte Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Zahnerhaltung verliehen. Die Auszeichnung ging diesmal an PD Dr. Stefan Rupf aus Homburg/Saar für seinen Vortrag „Diagnose und Behandler bezogene Erfolgsrate von Wurzelkanalbehandlungen“, präsentiert auf der Jahrestagung der DGZ im vergangenen Jahr. Der Preis ist mit 2.500 Euro dotiert.

9 Kurzvorträge hatte die Jury, bestehend aus Hochschullehrern und Praktikern, zu bewerten. „Dr. Rupf beschäftigte sich in seiner sehr klaren und sachlichen Präsentation mit der in der Praxis vom Behandler und Patienten immer wieder gestellten Frage nach der Erfolgsprognose einer Wurzelkanalbehandlung (WKB)“, heißt es in der Begründung der Jury. Rupf war zu dem Fazit gelangt, dass der Erfolg einer WKB unabhängig von der Tatsache sei, ob die Behandlung von einem Studenten oder einem approbierten Zahnarzt durchgeführt wurde. Er wies nach, dass 62% der Behandlungen nach 3 Jahren erfolgreich abgeschlossen werden konnten und nur 18% als Misserfolg bewertet werden mussten. Selbst bei Zähnen mit nachgewiesener apikaler Läsion konnte laut Rupf fast die Hälfte (47%) erfolgreich therapiert werden.

Der Praktikerpreis wird jährlich von der DGZ in Zusammenarbeit mit GABA, Spezialist für orale Prävention, vergeben. Die Auszeichnung der besten Falldemonstration eines approbierten Zahnarztes oder Studierenden der Zahnheilkunde im Praktikerforum der DGZ erfolgt immer im Rahmen der DGZ-Jahrestagung im Folgejahr. Wichtige Kriterien für die Vergabe sind nicht nur die Qualität der Dokumentation, die Komplexität der Problemdarstellung und der Vortragsstil, sondern auch die Praxisrelevanz. „Mit dem Praktikerpreis wollen wir die klinische Tätigkeit auf dem gesamten Gebiet der Zahnerhaltung unterstützen und den Austausch zwischen Praxis und Wissenschaft fördern“, erläutert Dr. Andrea Engl, Direktorin Medizinische Wissenschaften bei GABA.

Soweit die Pressemeldung.

Und jetzt ein paar Gedanken von Jemandem, der sich seit einer Reihe von Jahren mit der Endodontie beschäftigt.
Herausragend und praxisorientiert, das sind die ersten Schlagworte, die mir ins Auge fallen.

Hohe Messlatte.
Erfolgsprognose von Wurzelkanalbehandlungen, ich stimme zu, dass interessiert jeden Patienten.
Die Frage kommt eigentlich immer: “Wie gut sind meine Chancen, den Zahn zu erhalten, Herr Doktor ?”

Soweit bin ich noch  d´ accord.
Aber jetzt kommt das erste KO – Argument.
Der Erfolg der WK ist unabhängig davon, ob die Behandlung von einem Studenten oder Praktiker durchgeführt wurde.
Hallo ? Zwickt mich, wenn ich träumen sollte…

Was sind das für Studenten ?
Die fantastischen Vier ?
Die Liga der aussergewöhnlichen Gentlemen ?
Die Unglaublichen ?
Alvin und die Chipmonks ?

Es muss sich sehr viel verändert haben an den deutschen Unis in den letzten 19 Jahren.
Denn zu meiner Zeit hätte sich kein Student auf die Fahnen geschrieben, erfahrenen Zahnärzten im Bereich der Endodontie auch nur annähernd das Wasser reichen zu können.
Hut ab also vor dem, was heute den Studenten geboten wird.

Komisch nur, dass man, wenn man mit frischgebackenen Zahnärzten, direkt von der Uni, spricht, von dieser Einschätzung nicht viel zu spüren ist.
Und vielmehr der Eindruck entsteht, dass nach wievor im Bereich der Endodontie universitärer Nachholbedarf besteht.

Gut, die andere Schlussfolgerung wäre, dass die Praktiker, die als Vergleich herangezogen wurden, nicht viel dazugelernt haben im Laufe ihres Berufslebens, also auf dem Niveau der Studenten stehengeblieben sind.

Auch keine besonders prickelnder Gedanke.

Wie groß war denn nun die Erfolgsquote ?
62 % Erfolg nach 3 Jahren ?
Hab ich richtig gelesen ?
Nicht einmal 2 von 3 Zähnen erfolgreich behandelt ?
Nach 3 Jahren ?

So dass davon auszugehen ist, dass diese schon jetzt schlechte Quote, im Laufe der nächsten Jahre sich noch weiter verschlechtern wird.

Au Backe. Im wortwörtlichen Sinne.
Und im Falle von von nachgewiesenen apikalen Läsionen nur 47 Prozent Erfolgsquote.

Da kann ich ja gleich Roulette spielen und auf Rot oder Schwarz setzen.
Das ist unterirdisch, um Herrn Bohlen zu zitieren.

Und eine Steilvorlage für jeden Implantologen.

Take them out.
Raus damit. Und rein mit dem Titandübel.
Der hält wenigstens.
So schlecht kann man so gut wie  kein Implantat setzen, dass es nicht mindestens in 62  % der Fälle 3 Jahre lang durchhält.

Und ich kann es keinem Patienten verübeln, der zu solchen Schlüssen kommt.
Offensichtlich kann man sein Geld verbrennen oder in wurzelzubehandelnde Zähne stecken.

Beides kommt vermutlich aufs selbe raus.

Fakt ist.
Es geht besser als die anvisierten 62 %.
Deutlich besser.

Ich sage sogar, dass bei Zähnen mit “nachgewiesener apikaler Läsion” nach 3 Jahren eine deutlich höhere Erfolgsquote erzielt werden kann als jene 62 %, die hier als “herausragender” Maßstab insgesamt vorgestellt wurden.

Kann ich den Beweis erbringen ?
Noch nicht.

Aber als Erstes werde ich versuchen, an die Studie im Original heranzukommen, um zu schauen, ob das Studiendesign für eine weitere Untersuchung im eigenen Klientel durchführbar ist.
