<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">One study reports that the average homosexual has between 20 and 106 partners per year. The average heterosexual has 8 partners in a lifetime.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Many homosexual sexual encounters occur while drunk, high on drugs, or in an orgy setting.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Many homosexuals don&#8217;t pay heed to warnings of their lifestyles: &quot;Knowledge of health guidelines was quite high, but this knowledge had no relation to sexual behavior&quot;.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Homosexuals got homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses in the early 70s by storming the annual American Psychiatric Association (APA) conference on successive years. &quot;Guerrilla theater tactics and more straight-forward shouting matches characterized their presence&quot; (2). Since homosexuality has been removed from the APA list of mental illnesses, so has pedophilia (except when the adult feels &quot;subjective distress&quot;).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Homosexuals account for 3-4% of all gonorrhea cases, 60% of all syphilis cases, and 17% of all hospital admissions (other than for STDs) in the United States. They make up only 1-2% of the population.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Homosexuals live unhealthy lifestyles, and have historically accounted for the bulk of syphilis, gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, the &quot;gay bowel syndrome&quot; (which attacks the intestinal tract), tuberculosis and cytomegalovirus (27).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">73% of psychiatrists say homosexuals are less happy than the average person, and of those psychiatrists, 70% say that the unhappiness is NOT due to social stigmatization (13).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">25-33% of homosexuals and lesbians are alcoholics (11).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Of homosexuals questioned in one study reports that 43% admit to 500 or more partners in a lifetime, 28% admit to 1000 or more in a lifetime, and of these people, 79% say that half of those partners are total strangers, and 70% of those sexual contacts are one night stands (or, as one homosexual admits in the film &quot;The Castro&quot;, one minute stands) (3). Also, it is a favorite past-time of many homosexuals to go to &quot;cruisy areas&quot; and have anonymous sex.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">78% of homosexuals are affected by STDs (20).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court has said, &quot;Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities&quot; (10).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Captain William Riddle of the Los Angeles Police says, &quot;30,000 sexually abused children in Los Angeles were victims of homosexuals&quot; (10).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">50% of suicides can be attributed to homosexuals (10).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Dr. Daniel Capron, a practicing psychiatrist, says, &quot;Homosexuality by definition is not healthy and wholesome. The homosexual person, at best, will be unhappier and more unfulfilled than the sexually normal person&quot; (10). For other psychiatrists who believe that homosexuality is wrong, please see National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals, medical insurance rates have been skyrocketing for all of us(10).</div>
</li>
</ul>

<p align="left">Close-up of one of the New York &quot;Gay Parades&quot;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Homosexuals were responsible for spreading AIDS in the United States, and then raised up violent groups like Act Up and Ground Zero to complain about it. Even today, homosexuals account for well over 50% of the AIDS cases in the United States, which is quite a large number considering that they account for only 1-2% of the population.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Homosexuals account for a disproportionate number of hepatitis cases: 70-80% in San Francisco, 29% in Denver, 66% in New York City, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal, and 26% in Melbourne (8).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, which accounts for many accidental deaths. In San Francisco, classes were held to teach homosexuals how to not kill their partners during sadomasochism (8).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">41% of homosexuals say they have had sex with strangers in public restrooms, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, and 64% of these encounters have involved the use of illegal drugs (8).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Depending on the city, 39-59% of homosexuals are infected with intestinal parasites like worms, flukes and amoebae, which is common in filthy third world countries (8).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">The median age of death of homosexuals is 42 (only 9% live past age 65). This drops to 39 if the cause of death is AIDS. The median age of death of a married heterosexual man is 75 (8).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">The median age of death of lesbians is 45 (only 24% live past age 65). The median age of death of a married heterosexual woman is 79 (8).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Homosexuals are 100 times more likely to be murdered (usually by another homosexual) than the average person, 25 times more likely to commit suicide, and 19 times more likely to die in a traffic accident (8).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">21% of lesbians die of murder, suicide or traffic accident, which is at a rate of 534 times higher than the number of white heterosexual females aged 25-44 who die of these things(8).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">50% of the calls to a hotline to report &quot;queer bashing&quot; involved domestic violence (i.e., homosexuals beating up other homosexuals) (18).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">About 50% of the women on death row are lesbians (12). Homosexuals prey on children.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">33% of homosexuals ADMIT to minor/adult sex (7).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">There is a notable homosexual group, consisting of thousands of members, known as the North American Man and Boy Love Association ( NAMBLA). This is a child molesting homosexual group whose cry is &quot;SEX BEFORE 8 BEFORE IT&#8217;S TOO LATE.&quot; This group can be seen marching in most major homosexual parades across the United States.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Homosexuals commit more than 33% of all reported child molestations in the United States, which, assuming homosexuals make up 2% of the population, means that 1 in 20 homosexuals is a child molestor, while 1 in 490 heterosexuals is a child molestor (19).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">73% of all homosexuals have had sex with boys under 19 years of age (9).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Many homosexuals admit that they are pedophiles: &quot;The love between men and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality&quot; (22).</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="left">Because homosexuals can&#8217;t reproduce naturally, they resort to recruiting children. Homosexuals can be heard chanting &quot;TEN PERCENT IS NOT ENOUGH, RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT&quot; in their homosexual parades. A group called the &quot;Lesbian Avengers&quot; prides itself on trying to recruit young girls. They print &quot;WE RECRUIT&quot; on their literature. Some other homosexuals aren&#8217;t as overt about this, but rather try to infiltrate society and get into positions where they will have access to the malleable minds of young children (e.g., the clergy, teachers, Boy Scout leaders, etc.) (8). See the DC Lesbian Avengers web page, and DC Lesbian Avengers Press Release, where they threaten to recruit little boys and girls. Also, see AFA Action Alert.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Be aware of when and when not to engage in penis enlargement. You should consult a urologist if you have a disease which may alter blood circulation, oxygenation, and regeneration of tissues which exists under the conditions of advanced diabetes, respiratory instability, and cirrhosis. As you&#8217;re doing your workout, here are some symptoms to be aware of: </p>
<p>Blisters are a result of too much pressure on the penis for a prolonged period of time. You want pressure, but don&#8217;t overdo it! </p>
<p>Red sores are a result of too much stretch. In order to avoid this, hold off on your exercises until the blisters have disappeared. </p>
<p>Nerve inflammation is caused by using excessive weight, too often, for a long period. This will distort the nerves within the penis and cause them too swell. If the swelling continues, then atrophy may occur. This could result in the inability to maintain an erection. </p>
<p>&quot;Fuzzy skin&quot; is a result of tissue abuse. When you touch this affected area you can actually feel its fuzziness because it&#8217;s directly external. This is the partially dead tissue covering your penis. This can happen when too much tension is applied. Red sores sometimes accompany fuzzy skin. </p>
<p>That being said, the exercises we&#8217;re about to discuss are all healthy natural ways to produce penis growth. Just use good sense when performing them. We offer a recommended Daily Workout which should be performed 5 days a week, but if at any time you begin to feel real pain or discomfort, ease up! </p>
<p><strong>Hot Towel Warm-up</strong> </p>
<p>You should begin your daily workout with this procedure. This is not really an exercise, but a prerequisite. What the &quot;hot towel warm-up&quot; does, is draws blood to the area of your penis, increasing the blood flow and making the skin slightly elastic. This also ensures a good grip for the exercises you will be performing. </p>
<p>Soak a washcloth in warm-to-hot water, then wring out. Take the cloth and wrap it around the shaft of your penis (either flaccid or erect). Hold it there a minute, then repeat a couple of times. Dry off your penis well. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://natural-people.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/coitolateral2.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="coitolateral2" border="0" alt="coitolateral2" align="left" src="http://natural-people.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/coitolateral2_thumb.jpg" width="236" height="218" /></a> Premature ejaculation is one of the most frequent sexual dysfunction and conditioning. Its causes are still unknown, yet it had been put into practice behavioral therapies easy to perform, whose basic premise is a good relationship, along with the strong will to cooperate. </p>
<p>Even detected in all geographies and in all walks of life, premature ejaculation remains the most difficult of sexual dysfunction determination. </p>
<p>Apart from the obvious episode of ejaculation even before penetration, virtually every investigator had his own view on the duration &quot;normal&quot; sex. According to some ejaculation was described as early if there was a period of thirty seconds after the penetration, while for others it was when it produced before the minute and a half, and if for some third before two minutes. </p>
<p>Something more innovative were the views of Masters and Johnson: suffered from premature ejaculation that the individual in at least 50% of their sexual contacts reached orgasm before his partner (see always the same partner). It was an interesting approach, although invalidated by the fact that an assessment of this kind depends heavily on the ease or difficulty of orgasmic partner. </p>
<p>More recently it has come to a definition less unfounded, but would be even more susceptible to a definition in terms of neurophysiological: premature ejaculation presents the individual who does not receive or is unable to recognize the sensations that precede the orgasm, and that therefore is almost without realizing it, in the position of having passed the &quot;point of no return&quot; before it is even possible to control the situation and after orgasm which is now inevitable, because it is ruled by a reflex autonomic nervous. </p>
<p>A study in U.S. by Alfred Kinsey in 1948 cited frequently found that 80% of men ejaculate within two minutes to penetrate the vagina of their wives or girlfriends. Subsequent studies are close enough &#8211; maybe a little more time, but still revealing ejaculation very fast after penetrating the vagina. For young men in particular, almost four minutes is the time of the intercourse of life! </p>
<p>Why is this? </p>
<p>It seems very strange that something like premature ejaculation, which is so contrary to our enjoyment of sexual pleasure, is something so common. After all, there are few things in life more enjoyable than a erect penis into a vagina warm and moist. But imagine our ancestors, wandering for a rugged environment, probably in danger of being killed by hostile enemies, or perhaps even by members of his own group, then consider how long it might allow the male human being distracted by the sexual act.    <br />Not much, I guess, because while copulate, a male is very helpless and vulnerable to predators. It would be of interest to everyone that this event should take place as quickly as possible, that the penetration of the vagina male in the female lead to ejaculation as fast as possible, and that the male returned to normal activities &#8211; such as protecting the females and babies, or hunting &#8211; as soon as I could.     <br />An effective strategy, obviously, to preserve species and produce children, but not so great for the evolutionary progress of copulate to make love in modern society. No, unfortunately for the modern man, the thrust of the penis into the vagina evolved to feel good and produce a rapid ejaculation. Even he does! </p>
<p>What is premature ejaculation, premature or rapid? </p>
<p>And how can be defined if the rapid ejaculation is as common as normal? Well, I remember my first experience of sex clearly &#8211; ejaculated at the time that I felt the heat from the vagina to my girlfriend about my penis, and continue repeating this pattern many weeks later. Few would describe as a satisfactory sexual experience, I am sure (hmmm. .. &#8230; maybe it was very nice, remember.) But then what would it be successful? ¿Skip pumping ten minutes before the end? ¿Half an hour? An hour? I remember a friend tell me while we were at the end of adolescence that could actually decide when to let go and ejaculate, and finding this information absolutely amazing: if he and his girlfriend wanted a quickly &#8230; which should be very hot, of course, he was allowed ejaculate almost immediately, simply by choosing not to last, but if they wanted intercourse prolonged, could then be pumped forever &#8230; found it hard to believe this, because like most people my experience was hope for the best and yet almost always running uncontrollably &#8211; it is not unpleasant, now, but sometimes seemed disappointing. And this is the point on premature ejaculation: It is not so much about how much can take a subject, but on the fact that he has no control over when it ends. The purpose of therapy is to ejaculate prayers not only make them last longer, but give them a choice about when to ejaculate. </p>
<p>For the companion, especially for women who think you might have orgasm by intercourse if only their man could stay long enough, premature ejaculation can be frustrating. Some couples may find in it a source of major conflicts, although others may treat it by ensuring that women have one or more orgasms by stimulating their clitoris oral and manual before your man entering, so no matter how fast you finish, both are satisfied. Feelings of communion and love may yet be a wonderful part of even a quick sexual encounter as if it were the couple embraces and caresses later. And it is important to accept that for some couples this is okay: we are all different, and perhaps anywhere else than on sexual orientation. But even so, many couples want to be able to control their sexual intercourse, and may well be a problem for the man who did not finish before the couple is ready. </p>
<p>But &#8230; there is not a problem here? </p>
<p>Anything above that might suggest that the reflection squirting out an involuntary thing: after all, if there is evolutionary pressure for rapid ejaculation, this better not be presented by a fast and powerful involuntary ejaculation, designed to deposit the sperm so close the uterus as possible? Certainly, you may be scratching their heads bewildered, and wondering how they can control when just one man &#8211; especially if that is very different from his experience. But think about masturbation: you can almost certainly choose how quickly ejaculate when she masturbates &#8211; or at least have more control over how quickly running out. The purpose of this section is to prove that you can gain enough control over its response squirting to bring under its control &#8211; at least most of the time. </p>
<p>If you have read the section of male sexuality in this site, about how men respond sexually, recalled that the sexual process begins with sensory stimuli that cause or increase the excitement of both the mind and body &#8211; in the mind there is a feeling of fever; in the body, an erection. The increased stimulation of the penis leads to a state of intense excitement known as a plateau or plateau phase, and then at some point there is a movement towards the inevitability and squirting orgasm. The difference between men who have just too fast and men who do not is the amount of time they can stay on the plateau. These diagrams show the idea. </p>
<p>The question is: how do you learn to develop control? How do you learn to move more slowly to the side of the excitement of the plot, and remains more time on the plateau before firing the burden? Well, you may have tried creams and lotions that claim to do last longer &#8211; they often do not work, and they contain an anesthetic, had the unfortunate side effect of anesthesia his penis, as well as perhaps the vagina of her partner. There can be tested with getting drunk or used tranquilizers, but we already know the problems that caused him to do it consistently. There may also be tested using a condom, a strategy that sometimes really works. However, when a couple resting on a condom for the control squirting decides to switch to, say, the pill as a contraceptive method, the man can return to zero pages</p>

If anything, agrees the scientific community is that the brain is one of the most complex organs of the body and memory is one of the most studied subjects from different fields, including food. The much overused mantra heard countless times at home, &quot;eating fish is good for memory&quot; appears to be sufficient and relies on another type of food. Interest in the role of nutrition in the memory is reflected in the spectacular growth of functional foods and beverages and supplements, some with the stamp of anti-aging and others combined in the form of &quot;cocktails for memory&quot; &#8211; with a specific composition addressed, theoretically, to improve the health of the brain and its capabilities through nutrition.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://natural-people.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/diets.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="diets" border="0" alt="diets" src="http://natural-people.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/diets_thumb.jpg" width="484" height="204" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong> The human brain consumes 25% of glucose and oxygen needed by the body</strong>    <br />Hence to investigate the role of certain nutrients and plants such as Gingko biloba or ginseng on brain function at the growing desire to keep the intellect, memory, concentration and learning ability, or despite, the age. Seen the need for glucose as a preferred nutrient neurons (specialized cells of the brain), phospholipids and some antioxidants (vitamins and polyphenols) are the most studied dietary components to optimize performance and cognitive brain. This follows from the large number of patents by these compounds used in functional products that purpose. Science continues to monitor the neural response to other substances such as choline, complex vitamins (folic acid, B6, B12), omega-3 (DHA), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and other more innovative as acetyl-L-carnitine or alpha-lipoic acid. The investigation has just begun.    <br />But not only interested in enhancing brain function and cognitive processes that diminish with age, mild memory disturbances, care, slow implementation and solution of problems associated with normal aging or as a result of the stressful pace of life and that hamper the functioning in many activities. An important line of research is directed at examining the impact of further nutrient-deficiency-in infant brain development.</p>
<h2>Specific nutrition from pregnancy</h2>
<p>The most critical stages in the formation of the human brain takes place during the last trimester of pregnancy and continues until two years after birth. The adequate intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids of long chain (LCPUFA), particularly omega-3 fatty acids is decisive in this period for the creation of nerve tissue and the generation and transmission of information across neurons that henceforth , a greater impact on learning ability and concentration.   <br />The adequate intake of foods rich in these nutrients (fatty fish, nuts, seed oils) by the mother will support the proper nutrition of breastfed baby. Later the child must be fed with these foods to achieve that end. Supplements of omega-3 (or of other micronutrients such as iodine, folic acid, vitamin B12) may be useful in specific moments of the lives of women, including pregnancy and lactation, and to improve infant brain development when born.</p>
<h3>More and less healthy diet supplements</h3>
<p>A diet high in fat, low in fiber and low in fruits and vegetables is not appropriate to ensure the good health of the brain. The latest scientific findings linking the Mediterranean diet with better cognitive function, neural and cognitive decline slowed, and a lower risk of suffering Alzheimer&#8217;s adults.   <br />Cereals and pulses, food reference in this diet, serve as energy substrate (glucose) to the human brain, despite its small size (from 2% to 3% of body weight) consumes 20% -25% ofoxygen and glucose needed by the body to function normally. Besides these elementary substances, is shown the role of other nutrients in the maintenance of everyday cognitive functions like memory, concentration and quick thinking.    <br />The intake of olive oil (monounsaturated fatty acids), oily fish and nuts (polyunsaturated omega 3 and omega 6) and moderate consumption of meat (vitamin B12), acting together as protective mechanisms. The daily habit of eating fresh fruits, vegetables and a handful of nuts provides natural vitamins B1, B6 and B9, and antioxidants (vitamins E, A and C), whose deficiency is associated with a decline in capacity cognitive.    <br />Taken together, the support of a proper diet keeps blood glucose levels necessary for learning and memory processes, ensures neurotrophin levels (a type of proteins that promote survival of neurons) and the development and maintenance of the system nervous cell reduces inflammation and oxidative damage and cares for the state of cerebral blood vessels that enable the delivery of essential nutrients and energy to the brain. In short, a good diet provides an environment that supports the cognitive processes and decreases the likelihood of developing dementia associated with neurodegenerative or vascular origin because it facilitates effective transmission of neuronal signals.    <br />Aware that the diet takes preventive value and helps to slow or prevent the deterioration of cognitive abilities associated with age, the question arises: is enough good food? The combination of a balanced diet rich in micronutrients and antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances, along with specific supplements, can act synergistically, so that new possibilities of intervention for cognitive impairment. But there are many unresolved issues: what are the most appropriate compounds and how they work? What time is indicated intake? Have you identified contraindications to its use?</p>
<h3>There are no magic formulas</h3>

Therefore, the special contribution of a single nutrient is unlikely to have an impact as to compensate for a diet of low nutritional quality: There are no magic.Moreover, for the use of certain supplements to be effective in improving the nutrition and brain health should be addressed in early stages and not during adult life of the individual.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://natural-people.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/grapas.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="grapas" border="0" alt="grapas" align="left" src="http://natural-people.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/grapas_thumb.jpg" width="100" height="96" /></a> Welcome to this course of approach to the Ear Acupuncture. It is my desire which through same they can take advantage of all the knowledge that during 5000 years have remained weakened, hidden and until embezzled by people who do not know the importance the patient medical relation. Like clinical doctor and ear acu-therapys, I seted out to give a partial approach to this vast science. Coarse of preliminaries, and we begin. Basically, we can define to the Ear Acupuncture like that science of the alternative medicine that takes care of I diagnose and treatment of diseases through the stimulation of power points located in the auricular pavilion to obtain a therapeutic result in the patient which we are treating. </p>
<p>The Ear Acupuncture is diagnosis and treatment of diseases, whereas the Ear-medicine is the diagnosis of diseases. </p>
<p>Is cradle in Medicine Chinese Traditional (MTC) and in the foundations that Paul Nogier in France in 1950 gave. The foundation of this technique is based, as it is seen more ahead, on the stimulation of points located in the ear through the skin</p>
<p><strong>Somatotopys </strong></p>
<p>They exist in some parts of the organism, zones where in the same ones one is represented in its totality the whole body. These are: </p>
<p>the hands the feet the eyes the skull the forehead the nose language the mucosa of cornetes nasal a triangular zone in the neck in the ear </p>
<p>To these places somatotopys is called to them. Briefly we can say, that they are the complete image of the organism in that site. For that reason Acupuncture, Craneopuntur and other forms of stimulation are effective by the stimulation in those points. </p>
<p>We can affirm that somatotopys is true holograms, that is to say, images projected in its totality if we left from the concept of which “in a part it is the whole and the whole is in a part”. </p>
<p>Nowadays, the public has knowledge of the immense therapeutic possibilities of the ear, since there are very many evidences of treatments from simple pathologies to other important ones that they had been many years of evolution and that they occurred like incurables by orthodox techniques. </p>
<p>By the ear we can make presumptive diagnoses that soon we will confirm with the clinic, with the signs and symptoms that our patient and with the Biopathographical history of he himself presents/displays, without never losing the idea that the human being who resorts to us, is not only one ear, but that we must consider everything what relates to us, not solely in the clinical aspect, but and very specially everything what he affects it in the spiritual plane, psychic and in his diverse bodies mental, astral, eteric and physical. </p>
<p>Diverse symptomatology can only be due to a single cause and our task is exactly to try to individualize to the same one by means of some auricular finding of importance. </p>
<h2><strong>EASTERN CRITERIA OF THE NATURAL AND TRADITIONAL MEDICINE</strong>&#160; </h2>
<p><strong>THE TAO</strong> </p>
<p>The philosophy of the TAO is I accumulate of the thought of the man during several years, raises that in a phenomenon 2 categories that are opposed, nonantagonistic exist and that everything in the nature can be classified in these 2 categories Yin and Yang; the theory Yin and Yang is given off here. </p>
<p><strong>THEORY YIN AND YANG</strong> </p>
<p>Yin and Yang are the denominations that occur to the 2 fundamental principles or universal forces them, always oppositely and complementing itself mutually. They are philosophical concepts of the antiquity applied to all the material phenomena. </p>
<p>In I finish general everything what it is in movement, the outside, and ascent and that is hot, sure functional and hyperactive belongs to the Yang, whereas dark, material and dysfunctional everything what is in rest, the interior and reduction, and is cold, belongs to the Yin. </p>
<p>Yin and Yang are not absolute but relative. This relativity is reflected in conditions into which the Yin and the Yang one in its opposite can be transformed each, the Yin becomes Yang and this in Yin. </p>

<p><strong>2 &#8211; Principle of Unit and Interdependence:</strong> </p>
<p>The Yin and the Yang have opposite qualities to each other, but both maintain unit and are interdependent. The external Yang of the body defends the organism of the aggression of the pathogenic agents, and the internal Yin transports the nutritious values to all the organs. </p>
<p>But so that the Yang fulfills its function requires of the nutritious values that the internal Yin contributes to him, and this it needs the protection of the external Yang as well to act its as. Therefore if the Yin and the Yang lose their condition of interdependence, they will not be able to exist nor to grow. </p>
<p>3 &#8211; Principle of Intertransformation </p>
<p>The Yin and the Yang are not static, but that stay in constant movement of transformation happening of Yin to Yang and vice versa, is a constant growth and decrease, that is to say, when the Yang grows the Yin decreases vice versa and. Ej. Is the changes of the day to the night. </p>
<p><strong>THEORY OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS</strong> </p>
<p>It is a primitive dialectic materialistic theory in which the old ones were based to explain the phenomena of the nature, that said that everything in her was formed by 5 elements and that these had relation of creation and dominion. </p>
<p>1 &#8211; Principle of Interdependence or Intergeneration </p>
<p>It implies to promote the growth, the order of generation. Each element always is generated (son) and simultaneously generating (mother) this knows like relation “mother-son” the 5 elements. </p>
<p>In this principle the following rule is fulfilled:    <br />In fullness sedating to the son, sedo to the mother     <br />In emptiness tonic to the mother, tonic to the son&#160; </p>
<p>2 &#8211; Principle of Opposition or Interdominancy </p>
<p>This principle talks about to the relation of opposition or dominancy between all the factors, that is to say, which I win and what she wins to me. </p>
<p>Here the following rule is fulfilled:    <br />Tonific to the grandmother/relax to the grandson     <br />Relax to the tonific grandmother/to the grandson </p>
<p>3 &#8211; Principle of excess in domaincy and Contradominancy </p>
<p>It means the abnormal relations, that is to say, the pathological phenomena; they appear when the imbalance among them takes place, due to the fullness or drained of those of the 5 elements </p>
<p>The excess in domeincy is as the launching of an attack when counterpart is weak reason why this excess exceeds the permissible limits and demonstrates that the things are broken their normal relations harmonious </p>
<p>Ej. If the Qi of the wood is hyperactive and the metal cannot control it as it must, then the hyperactive wood will dominate still more in Earth excess debilitating it. </p>
<p>The contradomaincy means opposite domaincy and is another manifestation of lost of the normal relations harmonious of the things, implies that the strong thing runs over to the weak thing. </p>
<p>Ej. In a normal correlation of domaincy if the metal is deficient or the Qi of the hyperactive wood, then the wood dominates or to contradomine the metal. </p>
<p>4 &#8211; Principle of Halting </p>
<p>This principle is subject to the relations of the principles of Interdependence and Opposition, that is to say, the halting means to win and to create </p>
<p>The relations settle down in 5 groups:    <br />. The fire wins to the metal, this it creates to the water and this wins to the fire     <br />. The metal wins to the wood, this creates to the fire and this it wins to the metal.     <br />. The water wins to the fire, this it creates to the Earth and this wins to the water.     <br />. The Earth wins to the water, this it creates to the wood and this wins to the Earth.     <br />. The wood wins to the Earth, this creates to the metal and this wins to the wood. </p>
<p><strong>THEORY OF ORGANS ZANFU</strong> </p>
<p>Zanfu is the generic name of the internal organs of the body, that includes/understands the 5 the extraordinary organs and the 6 vísceras and organs. </p>
<p>This theory studies the physiological functions and the pathological changes of the organs of the body, as well as their interrelations. </p>
<p>The 5 organs are: Heart, Liver, Pancreas Spleen, Lung and Kidney; and the 5 viscera are: Biliary vesicle, Stomach, heavy, Internal Intestine thin and bladder. </p>
<p>The physiological functions of the 5 organs are: to produce and to store the corporal Jing, Qi, blood (Xue) and liquids, and the 5 vísceras are: to receive and to ferment foods and the water, to transform and to transport the nutritious substances and the wastes. The extraordinary organs include brain, marrow, bone, glass and uterus. </p>
<p>The Zangfu organs are not in Chinese Traditional Medicine a purely anatomical concept, which is more important, they are a physiological or pathological concept, therefore the Heart not only represents an anatomical structure; also it includes/understands certain functions from the nervous system and mainly of the brain; for that reason the “Heart” of the theory of the Zanfu does not have to be compared completely to the heart in the anatomy of the Western Medicine. </p>
<p><strong>Functions of the organs Zang &#8211; Fu:</strong> </p>
<p>Heart </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It commands the blood vessels and it controls the circulation of the blood    <br />2 &#8211; It commands the mental conscience and activities     <br />3 &#8211; It is reflected in the language. </p>
<p>Lung&#160; </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It governs the Qi and it controls the breathing.    <br />2 &#8211; It activates the flow of Qi and one communicates with the skin and hair.     <br />3 &#8211; It controls the purification and the reduction of the Qi.     <br />4 &#8211; It is reflected in the nose. </p>
<p>Liver&#160; </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It stores the blood and it regulates the amount that circulates.    <br />2 &#8211; It defends it purifies and it excretes.     <br />3 &#8211; It is related to the sinews, muscles and the nails.     <br />4 &#8211; It is related to the eyes. </p>
<p>Pancreas Spleen </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It participates with the stomach in the digestion and provides the nutritious substances to all the organism.    <br />2 &#8211; It actively takes part in the absorption and excretion of the humidity in the human body     <br />3 &#8211; It directs and it administers the blood     <br />4 &#8211; It is related closely to muscles of the members, the mouth and the lips </p>
<p>Kidneys </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It stores the Jing energy    <br />2 &#8211; It commands the water     <br />3 &#8211; Inspiratory of the lungs commands the energy     <br />4 &#8211; It is related closely to the bones, bony marrow and the brain     <br />5 &#8211; It is related to the hair     <br />6 &#8211; It has narrow relation with the ears, anus and organs of the reproduction </p>
<p>Biliary vesicle&#160; </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It accumulates bile.    <br />2 &#8211; It influences in the mental activities. </p>
<p>Small Intestine&#160; </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It participates in the digestion and it absorbs the humidity. </p>
<p>Stomach </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It receives, it digests and it sends the meals towards the thin intestine. </p>
<p>Heavy intestine </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It absorbs the liquids of the digested meals and transports the rest to excrete. </p>
<p>bladder </p>
<p>1 &#8211; It stores and it excretes it tinkles it produced in the kidneys, and takes part in the increase and diminution of the amount of liquid in the body </p>
