Homoeopathy is a modality that is commonly used by naturopaths. It is one of the most controversial therapies in the world and is highly critiqued by the medical profession. This essay will critically evaluate the controversy surrounding this modality as well as give reasons why clinical trials do not support it. Suggestions regarding actions that can be taken to foster a more collaborative model of practice between homoeopaths and other medical professions will be discussed as well as an assertion on the value of homoeopathy in naturopathic practice.

if you want to stick to the obesity argument you might want to think of arguments such as 'should the government be doing more to tackle the problem or is it up to the individual?' or 'How is it people can allow themselves to get that far into bad health(obesity)?' (might be more of a Psychology question though..) A good one for looking at arguments relating to the fast food industry is 'Super-Size me' that documentary, that might give you some more ideas about arguments, to look into some of the issues that Morgan Spurlock touches on, (size of food portions, advertising, health related problems of obesity, etc..)

America is a country with many beliefs that seem to be hypocritical, for they appear to not be followed by it’s citizens and government. It is common to hear about this country being a place where everyone is respected and has their own rights. The National Anthem of the United States of America proclaims this country as “The land of the free and the home of the brave.” But it is questionable whether this line is true or not in terms of it’s significance. Much oppression, injustice, and prejudice can be found today towards non-white people and those who are socially “inferior.” By the looks of things, it seems that America has not reached it’s goal of achieving true racial and social equality. There are many realistic examples of the modern United States that show that the country will never achieve such goal. Indeed, one can see these events and conclude that America is not the land of the free, for other groups of people are mistreated for being of another race, or simply for being “inferior” to the eyes of society. Even some famous writings by authors prove that the U.S. will never achieve true racial and social equality. Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird is an example of such proof. In the plotline, a girl named Scout watches how her attorney-father tries to defend a black man against the prejudice of her hometown of Maycomb, Alabama. With this information, one can see how even a fictional story can present the prejudice and injustice

A physician directs your treatment at the hospital. Doctors can easily access patient information, test/lab results, and send out E- prescriptions to pharmacies. Registered nurses wear navy blue and white scrubs. They are responsible for planning, coordinating and providing for a patient’s care. They use the information system daily to update, evaluate and record patient symptoms, review patient treatment plans and their measure progress. Other members of nurses that use the health system are licensed practical nurses, and student nurses. They are all managed by the RN and oversee all the patient care and activities. Allied health professionals wear tan and black scrubs. They perform diagnostic tests and therapy required for the care and treatment a patient needs. These allied health professional include laboratory staff, radiology techs, physical therapists, and respiratory therapists. “They may play roles in evaluating and assessing a patient’s needs, keeping the physician and others informed of the patient’s progress and caring for the patient” (Association, 2012). Clerical Assistants are volunteers at this hospital and does not provide care for patients but they do have access to information systems under the supervision of administrators. They answer telephones, proof-read, perform data entry, and sort

Surgery. Radiation. Chemotherapy. Repeat. The treatments that are supposed to cure you bring you closer to the brink of death than you have ever been before. At the final stages, many people pray for death to relieve their suffering. This high tech form of torture should not be how it ends anyone. I watched my 79-year-old grandmother endure these treatments over the course of six months as she slowly slipped into the abyss that is death. By the end, she was no longer the same grandmother that would wake up early whenever we slept over to make us milkshakes and pancakes for breakfast, no longer the same grandmother that seemed to know everything there was to know. This is what people go through every day. Individuals, families, loved ones, they

How would one finish one’s life if he or she were only given six months to live? Brittany Maynard and Kara Tippetts answered this question in two very different ways. Both were too young to face death, but they could not escape their realities. Plagued by terminal cancer, they would suffer in a considerable amount of pain, ultimately ending in death. Maynard tried to lighten her experience by ending her life with medication to escape the full reality. News broadcasts and magazines highly publicized Maynard’s decision. On the other hand, Tippetts chose to live until her life naturally ended. However, her story was documented on the radio; in a book, The Hardest Peace; and her blog, “Mundane Faithfulness.” Although Maynard and Tippetts both suffered terminal cancer, they dealt with their circumstances, convictions, and choices differently.

Asbestos is naturally a very strong material, it is even heat resistent. This is why so many homes were constructed with material that used asbestos. Unfortunately, as health and scientific research became an integral part of building and advancement, it became apparent that asbestos caused many lung and respiratory diseases. Since then, builders and related associations have really pushed for removing asbestos from their materials. The question remains about older homes though, how do you tell if you’re home has asbestos?

As I was waiting for my doctor to enter the examination room, I could not stop thinking about the scale. Many people, including myself, usually dread going on the scale, but today it was different. It had been two months since my last appointment and I was ready for the results. A year ago I consulted with a Dietician to help me with my eating habits. I always try to eat healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains; however, I never know how much I should be eating of each. I constantly kept track of what I was eating but always failed to eat enough calories, which would cause me to gain weight. The one other large factor that was contributing to my weight gain was being diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

Today in the world there are many different types of reproductive cancers. A reproductive cancer I’m going to be writing about is Breast cancer. Yes, its Breast Cancer. According to American Cancer Society (2017) Breast cancer is “Breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. These cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. The tumor is malignant (cancer) if the cells can grow into (invade)surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get cancer too (pg.1). Although Breast cancer first start in the breast, it can also start from other places surrounding that tissue or area.

Involvement in clinical duty or Related Learning Experience (RLE) is critical in the success of clinical teaching of a clinical facilitator to nurse learners. In every clinical duty of a nurse learner, there is always a clinical facilitator. For clinical RLE to occur, according to Commission on Higher Education CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER (CMO) No. 5, Series of 2008, Article VII, Section 15 states that Related Learning Experiences (RLE) in the clinical areas like classroom instruction is a continuous process and a documented RLE rotation plan showing distribution of students, and faculty supervision in each clinical area in base hospitals or affiliation agencies must be made possible.

Every year, October comes and goes with hundreds of events in support of spreading awareness of breast cancer. The Especially for You Race Against Breast Cancer, Pink in the Park Walk, and pink outs at football and volleyball games; just to name a few near me. Sure, everyone knows we wear pink to support breast cancer, but how many people actually think about the deeper meaning behind it and why we are supporting those affected by the disease? Do we really know how many people out there have fought or is fighting a battle with cancer and how that battle affects them mentally and physically? Most importantly, are we aware enough?
