Esterline Dumezil was trained by the Ministry of Public Health and Population and by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/ WHO ). “I have been working in the commune of Cité Soleil in Port-au-Prince since 2014, so for eight years The situation has deteriorated over time which means life is very difficult for the people who live here. They talk to me about their health concerns, but they also worry about the economic and security situation. They are very fearful about t

  From - The time for change  Hypnotherapy, Edited by  Amal Udawatta, What Is Hypnosis and How Does It Feel? Whether we realize it or not, our reality actually consists of our thoughts, beliefs and mindset. In other words, what you think about most, will begin to manifest in your life. If this is true, then you can use your thoughts to create the reality you desire with precision. So how does hypnosis or hypnotherapy help with this? The first step is understanding your different brainwave frequencies. We all have these brainwave frequencies (Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta and Gamma), and each frequency is measured in cycles per second (Hz) and has its own set of characteristics representing a specific level of brain activity and a unique state of consciousness. People often mistakenly think that being hypnotized means being asleep and that one can be made to do things while they are sleeping. This is false. Hypnosis takes place in the Alpha and Theta brain wave state which are described in

  From Knowable Magaine, By - Bob  Holmes, Edited by - Amal Udawatta, Nearly two years after the advent of vaccines against Covid-19, the pandemic is still, frustratingly, with us. The vaccines have done an excellent job at their primary mission, preventing severe disease or death. But they haven’t been as effective at keeping people from catching and spreading the virus — partly because SARS-CoV-2 has become more contagious, and partly because it is evolving to dodge the vaccines. That’s why experts are excited about a crop of novel vaccines now under development. All require more testing before they’re ready for use in people. But if they perform as hoped, some of them will be much better at stopping the virus from spreading. Others could provide lasting immunity toward many different strains of the virus — and possibly toward a wider range of coronaviruses, perhaps including some found in animals that are likely candidates for the next emerging disease. Still others could make vacci

From BBC News, Edited by Amal Udawatta, IMAGE SOURCE, PHOSPHO BIOMEDICAL ANIMATION Scientists have discovered more about the mysterious role of epigenetics, the study of how genes change, in controlling the way cancers develop. Often called "dark matter", it could alter the way cancer is detected and treated, research from The Institute of Cancer Research suggests. And it could lead to new forms of tests for the disease which would help tailor treatments. But this is a long way off, with research still at an early stage. When most people think of genetics, they think of structural changes to the DNA code that are passed down the generations. As a result, there has been huge focus on how these gene mutations drive the growth of cancers. But, in recent years, scientists have discovered another phenomenon which is not quite so straightforward, called epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how an individual's behaviour and environment can cause changes that affect the way t
