Resolved Question: Lil Health Lesson =D?

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, 'You want hot fudge with that? And Man said, 'Yes!' And Woman said, 'I'll have one too with chocolate chips'. And lo they gained 10 pounds. And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14. So God said, 'Try my fresh green salad'. And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said 'I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them'. And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man's cholesterol went through the roof. Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits. Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said 'You want fries with that?' and Man replied, 'Yes, and super size 'em'. And Satan said, 'It is good.' And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest. God sighed ......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery. And then ............ Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health.: 1.

Resolved Question: As a patient what would you rather....?

A health professional (be it nurse, doctor, therapist etc) who was able to see you on ward or at home when you required OR a health professional who is unable to see you in person because they are too busy filling out their development plans, setting objectives and attending supervision meetings where they talk about patients they cannot see for the above reasons!!

Voting Question: what grade would you give me for this paper?

the main focus was to integrate my internship experience with literature reviews of the treatment studies like group psychotherapy. Abstract I researched group psychotherapy treatment studies for substance abuse drug treatment program, which is related to my internship at Beth Israel Medical Center, because both are related to addiction studies. Beth Israel Medical Center assists addicted patients and their families on the road to recovery from substance use and to enhance their relapse prevention skills. An overview of a research study conducted on mothers who have substance abuse disorders is discussed in detail as well as the effects from treatment. Group psychotherapy is more effective that one on one drug counseling since it allows members to interact with one another and develop coping skills on how to handle their substance abuse disorders. Another study displays the satisfaction from clients who sought out substance abuse group psychotherapy treatment. My internship consisted of dealing with substance abusers whose ages ranged from 18 and over seeking treatment for all kinds of drug use such as alcohol or heroin. I’ve observed a variety of groups such as women’s group, mixed gender groups, and also health groups all of which were very helpful to clients at the Beth Israel outpatient hospital setting program. Based on the literature reviews of effective group psychotherapy it can be concluded that group psychotherapy is valuable in assisting clients to become sober and have a network of supporting group members who can relate to their pressure of handling how to remain abstinence. There are many types of substance abuse treatments but one treatment that is increasingly showing effectiveness in the reduction for substance abuse disorders is group psychotherapy which consists of small groups which try to help those who are having difficulty with coping with their drug abuse and find ways to self-disclose themselves to others who are also having trouble with their drug abuse. I chose to analyze research conducted that indicates and examine tendencies in group therapy in an outpatient substance abuse program. I feel that it is important for us to understand how group therapy helps group members open up to other group members about their with drug abuse difficulties they are coping with. During my internship, I frequently observed group sessions and sat in on numerous psychosocial evaluations. Despite this I was not fortunate enough to review dual disorders individual counseling sessions. Regardless of my exposure to this topic, I still realized and understand the importance of psychosocial evaluation and group sessions. This is an aspect of psychology and substance abuse that deeply intrigues me. It amazes me and gives me hope when I contemplate the advances psychologists have made in this evolving science. Group therapy have shown to be an effective type of substance abuse treatment proven by research conducted, and it is my goal to have a deeper understanding of how effective and necessary it is in treating individuals who have a substance use disorder. According to Waltman, the key to effective treatment for substance abuse includes easy access to care, flexible treatment interventions, collateral involvement, caring and knowledgeable therapists, motivated clients, matching treatment to the client’s needs, holding clients accountable for their sobriety, using focused interventions, and following up with drop-outs and graduates (Waltman, 1995). Treatment effectiveness depends on many variables such as the client’s characteristics, the severity of the substance-abuse disorder, he relative potency of the intervention, the duration of treatment, the content of sessions, the process/course of treatment, and the context where treatment occurs (Waltman, 1995). Providing clients with a selection of intervention alternative has been shown to decrease drop out and resistance, increase compliance and improve the overall effectiveness of the treatment program (Waltman, 1995). They felt the groups gave them the right amount of information, provoked them into thinking about their alcohol and drug use and provided them adequate opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings (Waltman, 1995). Another study which conducted randomized controlled trial for women who were enrolled in recovery groups and The results from another study shown effectiveness in reducing substance use during a 12-week in-treatment phase, and the group treatment demonstrated significantly greater improvement in reductions in drug and alcohol use over the post-treatment follow-up phase compared with GDC (Greenfield, Trucco, McHugh, Lincoln & Gallop, 2007). The women’s group according to this study effectively showed a significant reduction of drinking (Greenfield, Trucco, McHugh, Lincoln & Gallop, 2007). According to Greenfield, Trucco, McHugh, Lincoln and Gallop, psychotherapy produces significantly better outcomes f more

Resolved Question: How do I put this in MLA format?

Can someone show me what this would look like in MLA format? It is a research paper followed by an annotated bibliography. Thank you. Domestic violence has no race, color, economic status and often times little to no warning before entering a household. I posed a question that I hope my research will help me answer: What psychological effect does domestic violence have on women? Through the UVU library online resources available I found a few articles that related to my topic question. The first article that I found talked about the effect of spousal violence on women’s health and the research findings from the Stree Arogya Shodh in Goa, India. Some of the major mental health problems that domestic violence has on women, according to this article are; depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse and suicidal behaviors. The National Family Health Survey conducted under the stewardship of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, reported that more than a third of women between the ages of 15 to 29 years of age have experienced spousal physical violence. The consequences of domestic violence are wide ranging and encompass physical, sexual, mental and reproductive health outcomes. Another article that I found stated that 20 -64% of all violence against women is from romantic partners and more than half of those women live with children under the age of 12. Women who have experienced intimate partner violence can end up with post-traumatic stress disorder. It states that intimate partner violence can be life-threatening for some women, but often results in injuries, immune disorders, difficulty sleeping, and gastrointestinal problems. There are also mental health impairments that come along with this form of abuse, including low self-esteem, psychological distress and most definitely post-traumatic stress disorder. What is post-traumatic stress disorder? It is a syndrome of intrusive re-experiencing or witnessing an event involving feelings of fear, helplessness and horror, experiencing threat to life or physical integrity. So, why does intimate partner violence result in post-traumatic stress disorder? Intimate partner violence activates hormones in the brain which alter the body’s natural ability to develop and manage cortisol levels. Those cortisol levels naturally increase with stressful stimuli and help organisms cope with transient stressors by altering metabolism and neural function. Unfortunately, prolonged chronic activation of this system can damage physiological functions, lower immunity and inflammatory responses, and, importantly, lead to psychological problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder which is related with the bodies inability to cope with stress levels. Women who have experienced intimate partner violence will often have higher levels of cortisol than non-victimized women. The stress level that occurs during and after a victim is exposed to this abuse can actually negatively affect a developing fetus and can cause psychological disorders. After a child is born, depression can contribute to less optimal caretaking behaviors because the mother’s attention and interest in the child is reduced and she is not mentally available to assist her child with the emotion and regulation that he or she needs. As I researched treatment options for these victims, I found one commonality in each article; no defined cure or treatment. Studies suggest that anti-depressants may help symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder but have not been confirmed. Another option for victims would be a long stretch of therapy with a councilor or special therapist. I am interested to find more information as far as treatment options go. On average a woman will return to her abuser 7 times before finally leaving. Studies have shown that couples who seek out therapy often return a year later and have changed their beliefs and attitudes toward the violence but have made no significant change in the actual violent behavior. Domestic violence is proven to be a cycle that women often get caught in and often times cannot escape. In conclusion, the articles that I reviewed clearly state that women who experience intimate partner violence are at a considerable risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder as well as several other psychological and health related disorders. Women survivors of intimate partner violence and post-traumatic stress disorder: Prediction and prevention. Eye, E. Journal Of Postgraduate Medicine Volume: 54 Issue: 4 (2008-10-01) p. 294-300. ISSN: 0022-3859 This article reviews recent literature regarding intimate partner violence and resultant post traumatic stress symptoms. Some of the factors that enhance and reduce the risk for post traumatic stress disorder including social support, coping styles, and types of abusive behavior experienced, are described. In addition, the unique risks associated with IPV for women who have children o more

Resolved Question: it is true that fish oil can help against manic depression?

http://www.oism.info/it/farmaci/alternative_naturali/olio_di_pesce_contro_depressione_maniacale.htm The fish oil can help against manic depression. Effectiveness of Omega 3 oils in dealing with manic depression, schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity, the LDCs, etc.. Dr. Ann Blake Tracy: In September 1998 the National Institute of Health conducted a seminar on the effectiveness of Omega 3 oils in dealing with manic depression, schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity, the LDCs, etc.. Now a new study supports those reports. Although the study was addressed only to oil fish, linseed oil is not recommended because it exposes a potential toxicity-toxicity due to polluted waters where the pesci.________________________________________ Scientists believe they have found a surprising new ally in their efforts to understand and treat acute sudden changes of mood of manic-depression fatty acids of fish. A clinical experiment at Harvard University on 44 patients suffering from manic depression, or bipolar, have had positive results with fish oil the experiment was stopped after 4 months and all patients were put into care with 14 capsules daily. The fish oil is rich in fatty acids omegs-3, a family of polyunsaturated fatty long chain that have been associated with reduced cardiovascular disease and other health benefits. The highest concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids are in the eye and brain, where neurobiologi believe are essential for the proper functioning of cell membranes. If the levels of omega-3 fatty acids are too low, have assumed, then the streets are essential chemical sopraffatte may arise and mental disorders. The study conducted at Harvard was the first significant scientific gaze on the effects of fish and its fatty acids on manic-depression that is estimated to affect between 1 and 2 percent of Americans at some point in life. The disorder produces surges from the levels of energy and mood abnormemente senior maniacalità of acute depression, and is generally treated with drugs other than those prescribed for unipolar depression, the most common form of depression. (It has been estimated that 20 percent of Americans suffer from some form of depression throughout life). But some researchers believe that omega-3 fatty acids play an equally important role in unipolar depression. Joseph Hibbeln of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, has discovered an amazing correlation between the consumption of fish and depression. The society in which people eat much fish, he discovered, have markedly lower levels of depression compared with the society in which people did not eat much fish. Does his work "suggestive" rather than conclusive. Stoll said that it unbeaten in fish as a possible cure for manic depression when he reviewed the literature on compounds from the effects similar to traditional drugs such as lithium and Valproato. "Wherever the guardammo were the omega-3," he said. "We had heard of the omega-3 to medical school, but there was given much attention since then." While fish oil has long been used as a dietary supplement safe, doctors warn that may oxidize if not is stored properly. more

Resolved Question: Do you experience overall increased bodily pain of various types associated with your computer use?

I've been doing LOTS of research on EMFs, which are electromagnetic frequencies that are emitted from electronic devices and many household items, TVs, microwaves, cell phones etc. There are, of course, differing 'frequencies' of electromagnetic waves from these various sources, they are not identical. Nor are they generally considered dangerous on an item-by-item basis for 'everyday use.' However, there's an increasing focus in scientific literature, particularly bioelectronic research, regarding whether our overall, cumulative exposure to EMFs, and our exposure in particular through cell phones and computers, is harming our health. This is not 'wild science' but serious inquiry... lots and lots of articles out there, both pro and con, on this topic, in peer-reviewed journals. Here's my question: At your personal anecdotal level of observation, do you find that computer use results in a variety of bodily pains overall? Are you concerned about EMF dangers?

Resolved Question: Can you help me come up with a good title for our research paper?

We'll be doing a Nursing Research about Nursing students who engage in cigarette smoking and we're having a little problem with the title. We want to emphasize in the title why do Nursing students smoke even though they know that smoking is bad for their health. They are supposed to be an example of healthy living and supposedly be the least person smoking on earth. My groupmates and I come up with a title but I'm not yet satistfied with it. "Problems encountered by Nursing Students who engage in cigarette smoking" Can you also help us construct ideas on: 1. Statement of the Problem 2. Significance of the study 3. Scope and limitation of the study 4. Research Hypothesis Plus, how to make a good Review of Literature. Thanks in advance. more

Introduction The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program was the first program of its kind that was established to address the growing needs for housing for homeless and low-income individuals, as well as families that have been affected by the HIV/AIDS Virus (HUD, 2003). The significance of this study is to show the extent to which the HOPWA Program has in fact fulfilled its mandate by Congress to provide assistance to families, homeless persons and low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS. Review of Literature HOPWA Program was designed to provide housing assistance as the annual output measure; and to collect client information demonstrating the outcome for improved housing stability for the special needs population (HUD, 2003). In addition, HOPWA also makes grants to local communities, states, and nonprofit organizations to provide housing assistance and support services to low-income population with HIV/AIDS and their families (HUD, 2006). The funding request for the program is need-driven and reflects the department mission for providing permanent housing assistance to the populations who has very low-income and living with symptomatic HIV/AIDS, who also face chronic homelessness and other challenges (Kingsley, 2007). Studies show over 90 percent of HOPWA funds are distributed according to the number of people living with HIV/AIDS within a state or community (Ramirez, 2006). HOPWA funding is integrated into the overall federal response to the population living with HIV/AIDS (Swindell, 2007). Recently, HUD united with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies on a range of projects to promote better housing, health care, and other support services to those individuals living with HIV/AIDS (Saul, 2007). Results The U.S. federal government has made available over $2.3 billion in HOPWA budgets to support communities to establish and operate HIV/AIDS housing (Bruce, 2001). The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provided $294.75 million to HIV/AIDS housing assistance program (HUD, 2006). The following chart indicates HOPWA budget for the period 2005-2007: HOPWA Budget for the period 2005-2007 (Graph) According to the chart, the 2005 budget requested for HOPWA was $294.8 million, which was level with the fiscal year 2004 (HUD, 2006). In 2006, HOPWA budget decreased to $286 million. In 2007, the program seeks $300 million (HUD, 2007). Summary of Findings and Implications Findings state that if the HOPWA program were to stay within budget, there would be a significant decrease in many of the services that the program offers such as housing assistance and medical care for people with HIV/AIDS. The following table describes the performance measurement system and how the system will be implemented. HOPWA Program Performance Report (Data) In conclusion, the HIV/AIDS cases are increasing faster than assistance can be given to the people. The findings show that even though HOPWA is not staying within budget, they are still being effective not only to the people living with HIV/AIDS but other communities as well. The future of the HIV/AIDS community is greatly impacted by the amount of money that HOPWA receives in funds. more

Results The U.S. federal government has made available over $2.3 billion in HOPWA budgets to support communities to establish and operate HIV/AIDS housing (Bruce, 2001). The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provided 294.75 million to HIV/AIDS housing assistance program (HUD, 2006). The following chart indicates HOPWA budget for the period 2005-2007: According to the chart, the 2005 budget requested for HOPWA was $294.8 million, which was level with the fiscal year 2004 (HUD, 2006). In 2006, HOPWA budget decreased to $286 million. In 2007, the program seeks $300 million (HUD, 2007). Summary of Findings and Implications Findings states that if the HOPWA program were to stay within budget, there would be a significant decrease in many of the services that the program offers such as housing assistance and medical care for people with HIV/AIDS. The following table describes the performance measurement system and how the system will be implemented. In conclusion, the HIV/AIDS cases are increasing faster than assistance can be given to the people. The findings show that even though HOPWA is not staying within budget, they are still being effective not only to the people living with HIV/AIDS but other communities as well. The future of the HIV/AIDS community is greatly impacted by the amount of money that HOPWA receives in funds.Sorry, I can not show you the graph and data.

Introduction The Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) Program was the first program of its kind that was established to address the growing needs for housing for homeless persons, low-income individuals, as well as families that have been affected by the HIV/AIDS Virus (HUD, 2003). The significance of this study is to show the extent to which the HOPWA Program has in fact fulfilled its mandate by Congress to provide assistance to families, homeless persons and low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS. Review of Literature HOPWA Program was designed to provide housing assistance as the annual output measure; and to collect client information demonstrating the outcome for improved housing stability for the special needs population (HUD, 2003). In addition, HOPWA also makes grants to local communities, states, and nonprofit organizations to provide housing assistance and support services to low-income population with HIV/AIDS and their families (HUD, 2006). Studies show over 90 % HOPWA funds are distributes according to the number of people living with HIV/AIDS cases with a state or community (Ramirez, 2006). HOPWA funding is integrated into the overall federal response to the population living with HIV/AIDS. Recently, HUD unites with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies on a range of projects to better housing, health care, and other support services to those individuals living with HIV/AIDS. HOPWA program staff members have participated in the joint HHS/VA/HUD taskforce meetings to address the issue of chronic homelessness and improve access to mainstream health and human service programs by HOPWA housing providers (HUD, 2004) Results The U.S. federal government has made available over $2.3 billion in HOPWA budgets to support community to establish and operate HIV/AIDS housing (Bruce, 2001). The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provided 294.75 million to HIV/AIDS housing assistance program (HUD, 2006). The funding request for the program is need-driven and reflects the department mission for providing permanent housing assistance to the populations who has very low-income and living with symptomatic HIV/AIDS, who also face chronic homeless and other challenges (Kingsley, 2007). In 2005 Budget requested for HOPWA is for $294.8 million, which was level with the fiscal year 2004 (HUD, 2006). In 2006, HOPWA budget decreased to $286 million. In 2007, the program seeks $300 million (HUD, 2007). Summary of Findings and Implications Findings states that if the HOPWA program were stay within budget. There would be a significant decrease in many of the services that the program offers such as housing assistance and Medicare for people with HIV/AID. In conclusion, the AIDS/HIV cases are increasing faster than assistance can be given to the people. The findings show that even though HOPWA is not staying within the budget they are being effective not only to the people living with AID/HIV but other communities as well. HOPWA is cutting back on disease and medical care being used for avoidable health issues. The future of the AIDS/HIV community is greatly impacted by the amount of money that HOPWA receives in funds. more

Resolved Question: Another joke for you?

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. But Satan was crafty and created Dairy Ice Cream. He asked innocently "You want hot fudge with that? and Man said "Yes!" And Woman said "I'll have one too with chocolate chips". And lo, they gained 10 pounds. And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair. So Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar and combined them. And Woman went from size 10 to size 14. So God said "Try my fresh green salad". But Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman had to unfasten their belts following the feast. God then said "I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them". But Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man's cholesterol went through the roof. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds. So Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. God sighed ......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery. Then . Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.

Resolved Question: Does my covering letter look good?

I am writing to you in response to the job advertised on the jobs.ac.uk website for the position of a Research Worker (ref: *****). Please find enclosed a copy of my C.V for your consideration. I have recently completed a degree in Psychology at the University of Westminster in which I gained a 2:1 with honours. During my final year my chosen modules included Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology whereby I covered Eating Disorders in both modules. As a result, I feel I have a good grounding with regards to theoretical knowledge of Eating Disorders. I also undertook the Literature Review module in which I reviewed the clinical effectiveness, and cost effectiveness of Computerised Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy among those with Depression and/or Anxiety Disorders, thus giving me a broad knowledge of computerised self-help programs.Additionally, my final year dissertation involved investigating body image satisfaction among a male population, looking at whether those who were involved with a romantic partner were more satisfied with their body image than those who were single. Carrying out these projects was a great learning opportunity for me, and something that I enjoyed immensely and for which I gave me a great deal of satisfaction once complete. It gave me a great deal of confidence in carrying out my own research on a larger scale than I had done in my previous 2 years at university. I feel I would be a suitable candidate for this position as I possess good knowledge and understanding of various experimental designs, and statistical analyses. Whilst at university I would often assist fellow students in helping them grasp an understanding of research methods. I am a warm, friendly individual who can work effectively and with initiative, not only on my own, but also as part of a team.I am an extremely hardworking and organised person with the ability to work to strict deadlines whilst still maintaining composure. Not only that, but my ability to adapt to new situations and my keenness to take on new challenges allows me to quickly learn and fit in to a new environment with ease. I have previously worked in the field of mental illness whereby I worked as a drop-in centre volunteer for Mind in Enfield. I enjoyed this role very much: I found it very rewarding and it gave me the experience and confidence in dealing with people with various mental health problems. I would love to be given the opportunity to work as a research assistant as my future career plans involve going on to study for a Masters and then a PhD in the area of Health psychology. I am especially interested in the area of promoting healthy eating behaviours. I do hope you find my enclosed C.V. of interest and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. more

Resolved Question: Are the benefits of dry food a myth?

Yes its a myth that dry foods are better for cats teeth. A diet of all wet or a wet/dry combo is better for the overall health of a cat. Not all vets know about nutrition when it comes to pets. Many will tell you dry is best when its really not. Research can be your best friend. http://www.littlebigcat.com/?action=library&act=show&item=doesdryfoodcleantheteeth Does Dry Food Clean the Teeth? By Jean Hofve, DVM Let's get this one straight once and for all: dry food does not clean your cat's teeth! In fact, dry food really has no benefits for the cat. It is merely a convenience for the guardian. If you haven't already read "Why Cats Need Canned Food", that's a good place to start in your quest for accurate, up-to-date information on feeding cats. Most cats don't consistently chew dry food; they swallow it whole. Obviously, without contacting the teeth, there is zero effect on tartar accumulation. For cats who do chew dry food, whether consistently or occasionally, there is still little or no benefit. The kibbles shatter, so contact between the kibble and the teeth occurs only at the tips of the teeth. This is certainly not enough to make a difference in the formation of tartar and plaque, which most commonly builds up along (and underneath) the gumline at the base of the teeth. Keeping your cat's (or dog's) teeth and gums healthy requires a commitment on your part. Daily toothbrushing and regular veterinary cleanings are still important. The labels on even the special "tartar control" diets like Hill's t/d and Friskies dental diet recommend these additional steps. (Of course, brushing daily with periodic cleaning by the vet are sufficient to keep the teeth healthy by themselves, without using a special diet at all!) Dental diets are very different from all other dry foods. The kibbles are very large, and have a different texture than regular dry food. In my experience as a feline veterinarian, I've probably examined at least 13,000 cats' mouths. There was no real pattern to the dental and periodontal disease I saw. If anything, tartar and gum disease seemed to be more attributable to genetics or concurrent disease (such as feline leukemia or feline AIDS) than to any particular diet. I saw beautiful and horrible mouths in cats eating wet food, dry food, raw food, and every possible combination. Many of my patients initially ate mostly or exclusively dry food; yet these cats had some of the most infected, decayed, foul-smelling mouths I saw. If there was any dietary influence at all, I'd say that raw-fed cats had better oral health than cats on any type of commercial food. However, the overall effect of diet on dental health appeared to be minimal at most. If your vet still believes the myth of dry food and dental health (which is still actively promoted by the pet food companies despite the utter lack of scientific support for the theory), here are a few references that refute the idea: * Logan, et al., Dental Disease, in: Hand et al., eds., Small Animal Clinical Nutrition, Fourth Edition. Topeka, KS: Mark Morris Institute, 2000, p. 487. "Although consumption of soft foods may promote plaque accumulation, the general belief that dry foods provide significant oral cleansing should be regarded with skepticism. A moist food may perform similarly to a typical dry food in affecting plaque, stain and calculus accumulation...Typical dry dog and cat foods contribute little dental cleansing. As a tooth penetrates a kibble or treat the initial contact causes the food to shatter and crumble with contact only at the coronal tip of the tooth surface...The kibble crumbles...providing little or no mechanical cleansing...." The author also reviewed two studies on cat "dental" treats which showed "no significant difference in plaque or calculus accumulation with the addition of dental treats to either a dry or a moist cat food." Of course, this book was produced by Hill's, so it heavily promotes t/d. However, although t/d provided a "statistically significant" improvement, when you look at the actual graphs, the difference between Dog Chow and t/d is not impressive. * "...When comparing dry food only and non-dry food only fed dogs...there is no pattern to the trends (some teeth show an apparent protective effect from feeding dry food only, and others show the opposite -- for calculus index, the trend is protective for all five teeth in dogs feed dry food only, whereas for gingival index it is the opposite, and it is mixed for attachment loss). All maxillary teeth are significantly less likely to be mobile in the dry food only group, yet the mandibular first molar tooth showed the opposite effect." Harvey et al., Correlation of diet, other chewing activities and periodontal disease in North American client-owned dogs. J Vet Dent. 1996 Sept;13(3):101-105. Logan (above) assessed this study as follows: "In a large epidemiologic survey, dogs consuming dry food alone did not consistently demonstrate improved periodontal health when compared with dogs eating moist foods." * There is an excellent review of the literature by A. Watson (Diet and periodontal disease in dogs and cats. Aust Vet J. 1994;71:313-318). This study is fully of interesting historical items. For instance, one study of cat skulls found evidence of severe periodontal disease in 25% of 80 cats; 75 of the skulls dated from 1841 to 1958, and 2 were from Egypt during the time of the Pharoahs! * According to the above review, many of the early studies showed less tartar formation with hard dry food vs the same food mixed with water, and similar results were reported in a study with canned vs dry cat foods. In 1965 a study compared feeding raw whole bovine trachea, esophagus, and attached muscle and fat, vs the same food minced. Plaque and gingival inflammation were increased with the minced diet. Even more fascinating, they tube-fed the minced food and found that plaque and gingivitis did not decrease, "showing food did not need to be present in the mouth to induce these changes." In fact, gingivitis tended to increase when dogs were tube-fed, "suggesting that even the minimal chewing required with minced food had some cleansing or protective effect." Minced food is similar in texture to canned food. * A couple of studies showed that *large* dry food biscuits (not kibble) actually removed tartar, which is probably the theory underlying t/d's oversized chunks. Feeding of half an oxtail accomplished the same thing when fed weekly in another study. (I can just see it now, "Brand X's Tartar Control Oxtails.") The study also noted that "No harmful effects were observed from feeding oxtails to > 200 dogs for > 6 years." * Gorrel and Rawlings (The role of tooth-brushing and diet in the maintenance of periodontal health in dogs. J Vet Dent. 1996 Dec;13(4):139-143) state that: "In a previous study, we showed that the daily addition of an appropriately designed chew to a dry food diet is effective in reducing accumulation of dental deposits...the addition of the chew to the dry food diet also reduced the severity of gingivitis that developed, compared with the regimen of dry food diet alone." This points out that dry food does not prevent tartar/gingivitis without additional treatment. * Interestingly, Gorrel states in another article that "The consensus is that supragingival calculus per se is not directly involved in the etiology or pathogenesis of [periodontal] disease, and is mainly of cosmetic significance if plaque removal is adequate." (Periodontal disease and diet; J Nutr. 1998;128:2712S-2714S.) * A more recent review (DuPont G. Prevention of periodontal disease. Vet Clin N Amer. 1998 Sept;28(5):1129-1145) says, "In some dogs, dry kibble or fibrous diet helps slow plaque accumulation more than does soft or canned food...Other chewing behaviors may be even more important for reducing plaque than is feeding dry food." Not exactly a ringing endorsement of dry food! He cites 2 studies showing Hill's t/d to be effective for "decreasing plaque and calculus accumulation." * A review of feline neck lesions found no significant influence of diet. (Johnson N, Acquired feline oral cavity disease, Part 2: feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions. In Practice. 2000 Apr:188-197). These studies show that dry food does not clean a cat's teeth any better than eating pretzels cleans ours! At best, we can say that dry food tends to produce slightly less tartar than canned food. For cats, the benefits of feeding canned food far outweigh any possible dental problems that may result. After all, it is much easier for your vet to clean your cat's teeth once a year than to treat diabetes, urinary tract problems, and other diseases that are either directly caused or aggravated by feeding dry food. Regular home and veterinary dental care are real keys to keeping your cat's teeth and gums healthy for life.Your right good quality food is best no matter what way you go.

NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 13, No. 14 04/07/06 States with updates this issue: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, and Texas. RIGHT-TO-CARRY NOW LAW IN NEBRASKA! On April 5, Governor Dave Heineman (R) signed Legislative Bill 454 into law, making Right-to-Carry the law of the land in Nebraska! "It took over a decade to bring Right-to-Carry to the good citizens of Nebraska, but those years of hard work have paid off tremendously," declared NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. "I want to thank Governor Dave Heineman, and Senator Jeanne Combs (R-32), for their support and their efforts in giving Nebraskans the right to protect themselves and their loved ones. Senator Combs' dedication and persistence was vital in ensuring passage of this measure through the state legislature." LB 454 passed with bi-partisan support, as Nebraska senators voted 33-12 in favor of the measure. The bill allows law-abiding Nebraskans who undergo a background check and apply for a permit to carry a concealed firearm for self-protection. Two weeks ago, legislators in neighboring Kansas overrode Governor Sebelius' (D) veto to bring Right-to-Carry to that state as well. Now, of all the 50 states, only Wisconsin and Illinois flatly refuse to recognize the right of law-abiding citizens to carry concealed firearms for self-protection against criminal attack. "Once again, on behalf of our NRA members in Nebraska, I want to thank all the legislators who voted to bring Right-to-Carry to their state," concluded Cox. "And as always, we appreciate the commitment and participation of our members in Nebraska for their part in making it happen." To view this legislation use the "Bills" feature at the following link http://alisdb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/ACASLogin.asp GOVERNOR RILEY SIGNS ALABAMA "CASTLE DOCTRINE" INTO LAW! On April 4, Alabama Governor Bob Riley (R) signed NRA-backed "Castle Doctrine" bill SB 283 into law. Senator Larry Means (D-10), and Representative Albert Hall (D-22), sponsored the self-defense bill. With overwhelming support, SB 283 passed the Alabama House by a vote of 82 to 9, and the Alabama State Senate by a vote of 30 to 2. ILA's Chris W. Cox, stated, "We thank Governor Riley for signing this vital legislation into law for the people of Alabama. Law-abiding citizens now have the choice to defend themselves and their families in the face of attack without fear of criminal prosecution and civil litigation." The "Castle Doctrine" bill removes the "duty to retreat" if an individual is attacked in his or her home, vehicle, place of business, or any other place he or she has a legal right to be. This legislation also states that victims may use necessary force to defend themselves against the attacker. "I would like to thank the bill's sponsors, Senator Means and Representative Hall, and the Alabama State Senators and State Representatives who supported this bill. As always, we also thank all the NRA members and lawful gun owners who contacted their representatives and urged them to support this vital self-defense measure," concluded Cox. SUPPORT HR 5092-- "THE BATFE MODERNIZATION AND REFORM ACT OF 2006" On April 5, the leaders of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security--Representatives Howard Coble (R-N.C.), and Bobby Scott (D-Va.)--joined forces to introduce H.R. 5092, the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) Modernization and Reform Act of 2006." This bipartisan bill is a critical first step toward finally reforming BATFE. First and foremost, H.R. 5092 totally revises the system of administrative penalties for licensed dealers, manufacturers and importers of firearms. Today, for most violations, BATFE can only give an FFL holder a warning, or totally revoke the license. This bill would allow fines or license suspensions for less serious violations, while allowing license revocation for the kind of serious violations that would block an investigation or put guns in the hands of criminals. H.R. 5092 also clarifies the standard for violations-allowing penalties for intentional, purposeful violations of the law, but not for simple paperwork mistakes. Congress thought it had fixed this problem in 1986 when it passed the Firearms Owners' Protection Act, but the government has ignored that law-and has even argued in court that the 1986 changes were "without practical significance." The bill also improves the process by which BATFE imposes these penalties, notably by allowing FFLs to appeal BATFE penalties to a neutral administrative law judge, rather than to an employee of BATFE itself. H.R. 5092 would change BATFE's enforcement operations in several ways, from requiring the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice to review of BATFE gun show enforcement operations, to demanding that the Bureau establish clear investigative guidelines. Finally, the bill would focus BATFE's efforts on violations of firearms, explosives, arson, alcohol and tobacco laws, rather than non-jurisdictional areas. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support H.R. 5092, the "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Modernization and Reform Act of 2006!" SENATOR VITTER INTRODUCES S. 2599--THE SENATE VERSION OF THE "DISASTER RECOVERY PERSONAL PROTECTION ACT OF 2006" On April 7, U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-La.) introduced S. 2599--the Senate companion bill to H.R. 5013, the "Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006" introduced on March 28, by U.S. Congressman Bobby Jindal (R-La.). This NRA-supported bill would amend federal emergency statute laws to prohibit local authorities from confiscating lawfully owned firearms during times of disaster. Thirty three states have "emergency powers" laws that give the government permission to suspend or limit gun sales, and to prohibit or restrict citizens from transporting or carrying firearms--something NRA-ILA is working to change. In some states, authorities can seize guns outright from citizens who have committed no crime--and who would then be defenseless against disorder. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Senators and your U.S. Representative, and urge them to cosponsor and support S. 2599, and H.R. 5013, respectively, the "Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006!" You can reach your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and your Representative at (202) 225-3121. SUPPORT H.R. 5005, THE "FIREARMS CORRECTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS ACT" Representative Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) recently introduced H.R. 5005, the "Firearms Corrections and Improvements Act," which would make a variety of technical changes to federal firearm laws. The bill would roll back unnecessary restrictions, correct errors, and codify longstanding congressional policies in the arena of firearms laws. Among its provisions, H.R. 5005 would: permanently ban taxes or "user fees" on background checks by the federal instant check system--fees that Congress has prohibited in annual appropriations riders since 1998; permanently ban creation of a centralized electronic index of dealers' records--a threat to gun owners' privacy that Congress has barred through appropriations riders for a decade; codify limits on disclosure of trace records--which Congress has already limited through a series of appropriations riders over the past few years, out of concern for gun owners' privacy and the confidentiality of law enforcement records; and repeal of obsolete language from the Brady Act's "interim" waiting period provisions, that expired in 1998. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121, and urge him or her to cosponsor and support H.R. 5005, the "Firearms Corrections and Improvements Act!"

A LOOK AT THE STATES (***For all of the action items below, you can find contact information for your legislators by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at www.NRAILA.org. As always, thank you for your support.***) States with updates this issue: Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, and Texas. ARIZONA The Arizona Department of Game and Fish is hosting an area meeting to discuss locations for a new shooting range in Northern Arizona. Your presence is needed to help show support this new local shooting range. This meeting will be held Saturday, April 15, from 10:00 a.m., to 2:00 p.m., at the Northern Arizona University du Bois Center located at 306 E. Pine Knoll Drive, Flagstaff, 86011. Please mark you calendar for this date! For more information please contact: Mark Meyer at (480) 967-1343 or via e-mail at mmeyer@lsdaz.com. More meetings will be scheduled in the future, so please keep checking the NRA-ILA website for updates. After working closely with NRA leadership in Arizona, State Representative Pamela Gorman (R-6) has withdrawn her amendment, regarding state operated shooting ranges, from SB 1291. We here at NRA realize we have a strong ally in Representative Gorman, who will work to protect Arizona ranges and your Second Amendment rights. Please take a moment to send Representative Gorman a note thanking her for working with the NRA to resolve this issue and encourage her to continue to work with us to protect Arizona's gun owners and sportsmen. State Representative Gorman's e-mail address is pgorman@azleg.gov. CONNECTICUT As we have been reporting, the anti-gun crowd has redoubled their efforts to pass last year's proposal to make it a crime to fail to report the loss or theft of a firearm within 72 hours from when you "knew or should have known" of the theft. This year's version is outrageous! H.B. 5818, now includes language that would subject gun owners to criminal investigation and jeopardy of prosecution even if they report the theft because a court will now be given the ability to decide whether the firearm was stored in such a manner that provided "substantial and unjustifiable risk" that it would be stolen. Even worse, if the police recover the firearm before the gun owner has discovered it missing and made the report, it will be considered automatic evidence of guilt of violation of this proposed law, as well as guilt of an illegal transfer. Conviction of the "illegal transfer," which is a felony, would permanently end your right to own a firearm! In response to the large number of phone calls that are coming in from legitimate gun owners, Connecticut Against Gun Violence has put out desperate pleas to the anti-gun crowd asking them to write, e-mail and call lawmakers in an effort to drown out your voice! If you have not contacted your legislators yet, we urge you to do so today! The Public Safety and Security Committee could consider HB 5818 as early as next week. The Public Safety and Security Committee can be reached at (860) 240-0570. For more information on the Public Safety and Security Committee please visit www.cga.ct.gov/ps/. DELAWARE The Delaware House of Representatives may be voting as early as Tuesday on H.B. 359, sponsored by Representative Deborah Hudson (R-12), the NRA-backed "shall-issue" Right-to-Carry bill. This bill would allow law-abiding citizens that fulfilled the requirements for a concealed weapons permit to be granted a permit without discrimination. Your State Representative needs to hear from you! Please take the time to call or e-mail your State Representative TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to support HB 359 when it comes before them for consideration. The future of Right-to-Carry in Delaware depends on it! IDAHO Thanks to the efforts of NRA members across the State of Idaho who sent thousands of e-mails and made countless phone calls to State lawmakers, four important bills have become law in the state and a fifth is on the way. Senator Gerry Sweet (R-20) and Representative Bill Sali (R-21) co-sponsored three NRA-supported bills: House Bill 686 will protect non-profit shooting ranges and gun clubs from having taxes imposed on their range fees and membership dues; Senate Bill 1401, "Emergency Powers" legislation, will prevent government officials from imposing restrictions on the lawful possession, transfer, sale, transport, storage, display or use of firearms and ammunition during a disaster emergency; and Senate Bill 1428, "Right-to-Carry" reform legislation, that extends the concealed weapon license from four to five years and, like driver's licenses, requires renewal notices be sent out prior to license expiration. This bill also provides an exemption from the concealed weapon license requirement for a person who possesses a concealed weapon while on property he or she owns or leases. Senator Skip Brandt (R-8) proposed House Bill 608, legislation that creates an NRA motor vehicle license plate. This bill has also become law, so look to sign up for a special NRA license plate in the near future. The fifth bill, Senate Bill 1441, is "Castle Doctrine" legislation that would provide immunity from civil action for anyone who has used lawful force in self-defense. Under SB 1441, if a criminal attacks a victim and the victim successfully defends him or herself and, in the process, injures or kills the criminal, then neither the criminal nor the criminal's family can obtain a judgment against the victim for damages. This bill, carried by Senators Mel Richardson (R-32) and Joyce Broadsword (R-2), has passed both the Senate and House and is headed to the Governor's desk. ILLINOIS Thanks to the efforts of those who contacted their State Representative, H.B. 4853 passed the House with an NRA-supported amendment that excludes ammunition. The House concurred on this legislation with the Senate offered and NRA-supported amendment overwhelmingly by voting 115 to 1. Without this important amendment, H.B. 4853 as originally passed by the House could have been used to target ammunition manufacturers, distributors, users, and owners of property where firearms are lawfully discharged. This legislation will now head to the Governor's desk. LOUISIANA On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary C Committee reported out S.B. 93, by Senator Joe McPherson (D-29), NRA-backed legislation amending the state's emergency powers act to prohibit the seizure and confiscation of legally possessed firearms in the unfortunate event of another natural disaster in the State of Louisiana. The full Senate could vote the bill on as early as Monday afternoon. Please e-mail and call your State Senators on Monday morning and urge them to support SB 93. Although an official agenda had not been posted as when this Alert went to print, it is expected the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee may hold hearings on the House versions of measures to end New Orleans-style gun confiscations during a state of emergency: H.B. 36 by Representative Pete Schneider (R-90), H.B. 136 by Representative Troy Hebert (D-49), H.B. 172 by Representative Danny Martiny (R-79), and HB 760 by Representative Steve Scalise (R-82). Please email and call the members of the committee and urge them to support these measures. The committee normally meets on Wednesday and Thursday mornings in Room 6 of the State Capitol. To contact your state lawmakers, check the committee's schedule, and agenda, or for a list of committee members, please call the PULS line at (225) 342-2456 (from the Baton Rouge area) or (800) 256-3793 (outside the Baton Rouge area) or visit http://senate.legis.state.la.us/Senators, http://house.louisiana.gov, and http://www.legis.state.la.us MAINE Representative Josh Tardy (R-Newport) is offering an important amendment that adds two important provisions to L.D.1938, "An Act To Protect Victims of Domestic Violence." The "Tardy Amendment" would do the following: (1) Allow the court to order a person seeking a "protection from abuse" order--who is proven to be in "bad faith"--to pay damages and reasonable attorney's fees to the defendant and; (2) Makes law enforcement officials responsible for damage to firearms resulting from a lack of reasonable care, which are seized, surrendered or relinquished. Presently, the possibility of "bad faith" orders within the court system create a "shadow of doubt"--hurting the true victims of domestic violence. This measure would help eliminate "bad faith" orders from occurring, thus furthering validity for all legitimate "protection from abuse" proceedings. Furthermore, relinquished firearms are often damaged and sometimes never returned to the owner after a "protection from abuse" order is terminated. This amendment would correct that problem. Similar language recently passed the Pennsylvania Legislature and was supported by all stakeholders, including gun owners as well as domestic violence organizations. This measure passed overwhelmingly with bipartisan support. Please call your State Legislator today and respectfully ask him or her to support the "Tardy Amendment!" Your State Legislator can be contacted in Augusta at (800) 423-2900. MICHIGAN Governor Jennifer Granholm (D) signed two pro-gun bills, both sponsored by Representative Rick Jones (R-71). H.B. 4643 addresses a problem with concealed pistol licenses (CPL) being renewed in a timely fashion. Apparently, the Detroit area was taking 9 to 10 months to renew concealed pistol licenses! HB 4643 corrects the renewal process by requiring a proper renewal to be completed within 60 days or the license is extended for 180 days or until the permit is renewed. H.B. 4642 allows a licensed spouse to carry or transport another licensed spouse's inspected pistol. A thank you goes out to Governor Granholm for signing these two important Right-to-Carry reform bills into law. NEW YORK On April 9, members of the Assembly Health Committee are set to consider A. 6608A, sponsored by Assemblywoman Ginny Fields (D-5), an NRA-supported bill that would protect existing shooting ranges from new noise ordinances and nuisance lawsuits aimed at shutting them down. A. 6608A provides that facilities must comply with noise ordinances in place at the time of construction of the range. The Senate companion bill to A 6608A, S. 3353A, is sponsored by Senator Dale Volker (R-59) and could be voted on by the full Senate at any time. Please contact your lawmakers today and urge them to support A. 6606A and S. 3353A. The general phone number to the Senate is (518) 455-2800. The general phone number for the Assembly is (518) 455-4100. SOUTH CAROLINA Thanks to phone calls from NRA members H. 4681, introduced by Representative Mike Pitts (R-14), unanimously passed the House Judiciary Committee's Constitutional Laws Subcommittee with an added amendment that further strengthens the bill. H 4681 will now come before the full Judiciary Committee. This legislation would remove the ability of local governments to restrict the use, sale, or transportation of firearms during a state of emergency, and would also prohibit South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) from releasing the personal information of Right-to-Carry (RTC) permit holders unless the request for the information is part of an investigation by law enforcement. Please contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee and urge them to support H 4681. A list of the members of the Judiciary Committee can be found by going to www.scstatehouse.net/html-pages/housecommlst.html#jud TEXAS Primary runoff elections will be held on Tuesday, April 11. Please check www.nrapvf.org to see whether a runoff election is being held in your area and to see how the candidates measure up on issues of importance to gun owners and sportsmen. Spread the word to your family, friends, and co-workers about the primary runoff elections, because every vote counts! more
