SELPHYL

Times Read: 950


The SELPHYL® System nicknamed the “vampire filler” by the media is a novel, simple, reproducible, hypoallergenic, and cost effective treatment. SELPHYL® is used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons to harness the patient’s own biology and platelets to naturally fill skin depressions, acne scars, wrinkles and folds, rather than using synthetic, plastic, or animal-derived materials. The natural procedure is performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon in their office in less than 20 minutes and typically yields 4 cc of product – enough for facial contouring.



The SELPHYL® System is an autologous platelet and fibrin processing system, which uses your own blood to prepare a product enabling the administration of your concentrated platelets and tissue building elements (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix or PRFM).

It makes you look more youthful but it doesn't last and has to be repeated. Isn't that interesting? :)

Stone Babies

09:23 Oct 13 2010
Times Read: 952


I was watching one of the family channels I believe yesterday. They showed one of these babies and an elderly woman who had one in her body for years and years. I had never heard of this prior but then I am not a doctor so why would I know? I know about it now though. They showed one that had been removed after being in a woman's body for years and it was pretty good sized.

A lithopedion (Greek:litho = stone; pedion = child), or stone baby, is a rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly when a fetus that dies during an abdominal pregnancy, is too large to be reabsorbed by the body, and calcifies on the outside, shielding the mother's body from the dead tissue of the baby and preventing infection. Lithopedia may occur from 14 weeks gestation to full term. It is not unusual for a stone baby to remain undiagnosed for decades, and it is often not until a patient is examined for other conditions or a proper examination is conducted that includes an X-ray, that a stone baby is found. The oldest reported case is that of a 94 year old woman, whose lithopedion has been present for upwards of 60 years.



The condition was first described in a treatise by the physician Albucasis in the 10th century AD, but fewer than 300 cases have been noted in 400 years of medical literature. The earliest lithopedion is one found in an archaeological excavation, dated to 1100 BC.



A related condition is known as vanishing twin, in which the fetus is one of two or more sharing the uterus. If the fetus is older than eight weeks at the time of its death, and is retained in the uterus for at least ten weeks, it may undergo mechanical compression such that it takes on a flattened, mummified appearance with a surface texture resembling that of parchment.

DRUIDS

Druids recognized as religion for first time in UK



Associated Press Writer Sylvia Hui, Associated Press Writer – Sat Oct 2, 3:52 pm ET



LONDON – Druids have been worshipping the sun and earth for thousands of years in Europe, but now they can say they're practicing an officially recognized religion.



The ancient pagan tradition best known for gatherings at Stonehenge every summer solstice has been formally classed as a religion under charity law for the first time in Britain, the national charity regulator said Saturday. That means Druids can receive exemptions from taxes on donations — and now have the same status as such mainstream religions as the Church of England.



The move gives an old practice new validity, said Phil Ryder, the chairman of the 350-member Druid Network.



"It will go a long way to make Druidry a lot more accessible," he said.



Druids have practiced for thousands of years in Britain and in Celtic societies elsewhere in Europe. They worship natural forces such as thunder and the sun, and spirits they believe arise from places such as mountains and rivers. They do not worship a single god or creator, but seek to cultivate a sacred relationship with the natural world.



Although many see them as robed, mysterious people who gather every summer solstice at Stonehenge — which predates the Druids — believers say modern Druidry is chiefly concerned with helping practitioners connect with nature and themselves through rituals, dancing and singing at stone circles and other sites throughout the country believed to be "sacred."



Ancient Druids were known to be religious leaders, judges and sages among the Celts during pre-Christian times, although little evidence about their lives survived. There are now various Druid orders and about 10,000 practitioners in Britain — and believers said the numbers are growing because more people are becoming aware of the importance to preserve the environment.



The Druid Network fought for nearly five years to be recognized under the semi-governmental Charity Commission, which requires proof of cohesive and serious belief in a supreme entity and a moral framework.



After initially rejecting the Druid Network's application, the Charity Commission decided this week that Druidry fit the bill.



"There is sufficient belief in a supreme being or entity to constitute a religion for the purposes of charity law," the commission said.



Adrian Rooke, a Druid who works as a counselor, said Druidry appeals to people who are turning away from monotheistic religions but still long for an aspect of spirituality in their lives.



"It uplifts the spirit," he said. "The world is running out of resources, and in that context it's more important to people now to formulate a relationship with nature."

My stories

Times Read: 973


I put rough drafts in here but it is funny, they have changed so much since I put anything up. I haven't been writing side things that much at this time. I am swamped at home. I really don't have time to be here so I am at a quandry as to whether to give up my profiles or stay. I am not up high enough to just sit and if I did that anyway, I would be blinded. Things have gotten so dicey. I don't feel the same anymore when I come here. I feel stressed.
