In some respects, colour therapy is already an everyday practice. We all have our favourite colours with which we like to live.
Color is simply light of varying wavelengths (frequencies). We are in a world where color dominates our lives, from reading signs on the road to seeing if fruit is ripe to eat. It affects our moods – blue is calming – red can make us tense.
We use and experience colour everyday in our lives without even appreciating it.
Colour therapy is a bit like aromatherapy. The difference is that colour therapists believe in the therapeutic effects of coloured lights instead of smells.
The ancient belief that colours can heal was developed into an alternative medicine in the XXth century.
Colour therapy can be shown to help on a physical level, which is perhaps easier to quantify, however there are deeper issues around the colours on the psychological and spiritual levels. Our wellbeing is not, of course, purely a physical issue. Fortunately, many more practitioners, both orthodox and complementary are now treating patients in an holistic manner. That is to say, we are body, mind and spirit and none of these areas function entirely alone; each has an effect upon the other. This is why Colour Therapy can be so helpful since colour addresses all levels of our being.

New study from the USA shows that smoking soon after waking increases risk of lung cancer, because the shorter the time between waking and having a first cigarette, no matter how many you smoke a day, the higher is your levels of circulating cotinine, a derivative of nicotine that is made in the body and which has been linked to higher risk of lung cancer.
The scientists said that smoking cessation programs should take into account the time smokers waits before they have their first cigarette of the day because it could make a significant difference to their nicotine uptake.
The leader of the research is Dr Joshua E Muscat, professor of public health sciences at Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania. “Since cotinine levels appear to reflect the risk of lung cancer, our results suggest that smokers who smoke immediately after waking may be especially at risk for lung cancer.” said Dr Joshua E Muscat. “These people may require a more intensive intervention than other smokers to help them quit smoking on a sustained or permanent basis.”

Aromatherapy uses volatile plant oils, including essential oils, for healing purposes. They can be massaged into the parts of the body or even taken internally (although this is less common). Whether inhaled, absorbed, or ingested, essential oils are gaining new attention as an alternative treatment for infections, stress, and other health problems.
Like most alternative strategies its concept has been around for centuries although the term ‘Aromathérapie‘ was coined in the 1928 by a French chemist, René Maurice Gattefossé, whose family owned a perfume factory.
Essential oils are concentrated extracts taken from flowers, trees, fruits, bark, grasses, seeds and roots. Each essential oil contains its own mix of active ingredients, and this mix determines the healing properties of each oil.
Aromatherapy should not be undertaken lightly. Essential oils are highly concentrated liquids that can be harmful if not used carefully. Most topical and inhaled essential oils are generally considered safe. Some oils are toxic, and taking them by mouth could be fatal.

There is an ancient Chinese legend tells that 5,000 years ago, a Chinese general, on the eve of the decisive battle, was suffering from lower back pain. The pain was so intense that it gave in the leg. In our time, this disease is called the inflammation of the sciatic nerve. During the battle, enemy’s arrow pierced into the general’s Achilles tendon. To his unutterable surprise, the pain instantly disappeared. Thinking commander connected these two facts together. He found a man who suffered from the same symptoms, and stabbed him in the same point. The man, who suffered several days of terrible pain, immediately felt relieved and cured. This is how acupuncture works.
Today acupuncture is actively used not only in the East, but also in countries all around the world. There are 650 points in the human body, acting on which, the doctor may regulate vital energy. Some points tone the body, the others transfer the energy from one meridian of the human body to another.
Meridian is the imaginary line on the human body. It is assumed that they relate to internal organs, although it is completely different from that anatomy teaches, meridians are called “yin yang lines”. Acupuncture was banned in China by the Emperor in 1822, because it was a serious obstacle to progress in traditional medicine.

When the disease is treated successfully, the success can be for one of three reasons.
- The first reason is that the cure is a direct result of treatment, as in the case of bacterium killed by antibiotics.
- Secondly, the disease is what is known as self-regulating – in other words, the natural healing power of the body clears it ultimately whether it is treated or not, as in the case of cold.
- Thirdly, when is given the substance that has no healing power, but because of patient’s faith in its curative power, he is recovering.
This is called the placebo effect. The new idea of the placebo goes back to the dawn of medical history, but this term in a medical sense was not coined until 1890. The editor of Medical Press talks about a woman who successfully sued her doctor for water injection instead of her morphine. The editor says: “We feel sorry for it, but apparently the law does not think well of placebos”. Despite the doctor’s use of water, however, the woman had thought it to be morphine at the time and had been cured. If the doctor had told her that it was pure water, her cure would probably not have happened.

Ordered one way, atoms make up homes and fresh air, and ordered another way, they make up ash and smoke. Coal and diamonds, cancer and healthy tissue are made out of the variations of atoms too and variations in the ordering of atoms turn precious in cheap, or sick in healthy.
Considering a single atom as a building block nanotechnology seek practical ways to create new materials with specified characteristics. Many companies already know how to assemble atoms and molecules in certain way.
In the future, any molecule will be assembled like a child’s constructor. To achieve it, it is planned to use nano-robots (nanobots). In fact, any chemically stable structure that can be described is possible to be built. Since the nanobots will be programmed for the construction of any structure (in particular, for the construction of other nanobots), they will become very cheap. Working in large groups, nanobots will be able to create any objects with low-cost and high accuracy.
In medicine, the problem nanotechnology application is in change of the cell structure at the molecular level, i.e. to “molecular surgery” with the help of nano-robots. In medicine is expected the creation of molecular robots-doctors, who can “live” inside the human body, preventing or eliminating all arising damage. Nanobots will be able to repair cells by manipulating individual atoms and molecules. Scientists forecast the creation of robots-doctors in the first half of XXI century.

In Tokyo’s Waseda University created the world’s thinnest band-aid, a nanometers-thick adhesive bandage sheet designed for surgical use. With nano band-aid you can pull off a wound, even on internal organs. Scientists have successfully used it healing a wound in the lungs of a dog. One week after attaching the plaster, scientists found the dog’s wound had healed.
Named “Nano Bansoko” (nano band-aid), the new bandage is between from several tens of nanometers to 1,500 nanometers thick (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter). It is more than 1,000 times thinner than a plastic wrap. One side of nano band-aid is highly adhesive and can stick to tissues around wounds, while the other side shows very little tissue adhesion. The bandage, which breaks down naturally after healing, is made from chitosan (a substance derived from chitin found in crab shells) and alginate sodium (produced in kelp slime).
“We will now conduct a detailed safety evaluation in order to put the bandage into practical use in three years,” said professor Shinji Takeoka, who also announced plans to study the use of the bandage on other organs like intestines, as well as in scar prevention on sutured wounds after breast cancer surgery.

People who repeatedly recover from ordinary seasonal flu or a few times vaccinated, perhaps, to some extent are protected from the swine flu A virus H1N1, researchers from the United States reported.
They found evidence that the human immune system can partially recognize A virus H1N1 virus, which is something still similar to seasonal influenza viruses.
“Swine influenza is a bit like an ordinary flu, which may suggest that humans already have a partial immunity against it. Perhaps this can make the disease less severe among the general population than previously estimated,” – said Alessandro Sette, Ph.D. Head and Member Center for Infectious Disease in California.
The study also may help explain why many older people are not so hard to carry the disease, said Ellison Dekhat Augustine from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “We adults may be a partial immunity against A virus H1N1,” – she said.
Swine flu has swept through about 22 million Americans from April to October, killing an estimated 3,900 people, including 540 children.
“We’ve been tracking influenza for decades,” says Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “What we are seeing in 2009 is unprecedented.”

The main and most important mechanism of massage action is revitalization of the nervous system. And through the nerve endings massage impacts on all organs and tissues. Masseur must know massage techniques that can increase or decrease the excitability of the nervous system depending on the initial state of the human body.
During the massage is also accelerating the metabolic processes and stimulation of blood and lymph vessels, which promotes the excretion of metabolic products and excess fluid to relieve venous congestion. Under the action of massage is growing network of small blood vessels, and thus improves blood supply to the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle tissue and internal organs.
The variety of species and methods of massage
First of all, massage is divided into therapeutic and hygienic.
Therapeutic massage is appointed to the sick people in order to restore their health and hygienic massage is for prevention objectives for healthy people.
