When Carbon Monoxide (CO) is inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen to every part of the body. The reaction of CO with hemoglobin causes the body's oxygen delivery to be greatly disturbed, leading to reduced oxygen to all parts of the body, commonly called oxygen starvation. From the FAA's Advisory Circular (AC 20-32B), "Oxygen starvation of the brain reduces a person's ability to reason and make decisions. See similar questions...

For a Shedite possession, the Seraph gets both names. For a Kyrio or someone using the Song of Possession, you get only the current possessor since the real "owner" is in the Marches. In the latter case, the GM may allow the Seraph to make a Perception roll, with a good roll giving both names and intermediate rolls clueing in the Seraph that something is fishy. Last checked on 6/1/05, but I haven't doublechecked the APG and can't while a five-year-old is clinging to me. See similar questions...

The ADA (American Dietetic Association), National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society recommends fibre consumption between 25 to 35 gm per day or 10 to 13 gm fibre per 1000 kcal each day. For example, if someone needs 2000 kcal of food substances per day, then his daily fibre needs is between 20 to 26 gm. According to ADA (American Dietic Association) recommendation, one's fibre needs is equal to his age (in years) plus 5 gm of fibre per day. See similar questions...

BONES AND TEETH - The main function of calcium is the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Bone is made up of cells and fiber embedded in a mineral matrix, which is mostly crystals of calcium phosphate. One form of bone calcium is bound tightly within the bone and the other is easily removed to maintain blood levels. Calcium is removed from the tightly bound part of the bone only when the more mobile stores are exhausted and dietary intake is inadequate. See similar questions...

If the lymphatic system is damaged, blocked, or abnormally developed, protein-rich fluid accumulates in the tissues, resulting in chronic swelling. This in turn leads to increased blood flow through an increase in the size and number of blood vessels. The resulting rise in temperature of the area, in combination with the protein-rich fluid, provides a medium for bacteria, making recurrent infection a significant problem. See similar questions...

Tonalin CLA prevents fat from being deposited into the cells by speeding up the body's fat metabolism. CLA also helps the body metabolize existing fat deposits. This fat then returns to the blood stream where it is used as energy by muscle cells and the liver. See similar questions...

COPAXONE® is a unique therapy that is thought to work both outside and inside the central nervous system (CNS) to fight damage to the nervous system.3-5 Click here to read more about the effects of multiple sclerosis. COPAXONE® is believed to change the way your immune system reacts to MS by preventing harmful cells from developing and by stimulating beneficial cells in your body. These "good" COPAXONE®-activated cells then enter the CNS and help reduce damage at the site of lesions. See similar questions...

There was a study published in the British Medical Journal that found that very lean women and very obese women (BMI >38) had lower conception rates. However, body fat distribution was found to have a greater impact. Women with a high waist-hip ratio had greater trouble conceiving -- so being shaped like an apple is not as good for conception as being shaped like a pear. PCO women may be more likely to have the apple shape. See similar questions...

The iris illustrates the whole person, including the whole body and the whole mind. Individual traits are identified at two levels, static and dynamic. The static traits are the constitutional qualities as shown by the overall structure and color of the iris, and the dynamic traits are indicated by small changes in the iris during the person's life. More advanced methods can be applied for identifying the past chronology of accumulated iris markings. See similar questions...

Within Poly-MVA, the proprietary palladium lipoic acid acts in a similar way to the Cobalt found in Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin). The palladium is sequestered or bonded to the palladium lipoic acid molecule found in Poly-MVA. Palladium serves primarily as a transport mechanism to enhance the uptake of lipoic acid, while also being theorized to have an effect on the electrical potential of the cell by shuttling electrons from the cell membrane to the nucleus and the mitochondria.

Since in active AIDS, the suppressed immune system of the body is open to all kinds of diseases, colloidal silver seems to be the perfect non-toxic preparation to use for its wide spectrum antibiotic effect. A researcher at Brigham Young University sent colloidal silver to two different labs including UCLA Medical Center, which has been reported to have said "It killed not only the HIV Virus (invitro), but every virus that was tested in the lab."
