Eczema (atopic) - Real stories | Health

2010-12-11T11:30:00.000-08:00

Battling against eczema since he was a baby, 30-year-old John Fuller has tried just about every treatment option available

John Fuller’s eczema began when he was a baby. “It was always there as far back as I can remember,” he says. “My skin would turn red raw and I would scratch and scratch. We tried everything from creams to salt baths. I have a very strong memory of sitting for ages in a salt bath because our GP suggested it! Luckily, though, I wasn’t bullied for having eczema like many children seem to be.”

When John was 11, the family went to Barbados for a holiday. While they were there, they discovered the aloe vera plant.

“Someone suggested it might help my eczema and we were ready to try anything. Aloe vera is everywhere now, but back then nobody had heard of it. So when we got back, we started growing it in our back garden. I’d have to rub the plant juice all over me! Amazingly, the eczema cleared up for the next nine years.”

John hoped he’d grown out of the condition. Unfortunately, his eczema came back when he was just finishing university. “The redness and the itching began again,” he says. “Soon it was all over my arms and legs, and it’s been there ever since.”

John says he’s tried ‘every treatment going’, including steroid pills and creams, and cyclosporin, a strong drug used mainly to stop transplant patients rejecting their new organs. It works by damping down the immune system.

“That was effective for a couple of years but it can damage your internal organs, so you can’t stay on a high dose for too long,” he explains. “I had to have regular blood tests to make sure everything was working properly, and eventually had to go on such a low dose it wasn’t worth it.

“I’ve been in hospital three times. In hospital you get the same treatment that you do at home, but it’s more intensive and it’s also cleaner.”

He also experimented with complementary therapies. “I went to a Chinese herbalist, who gave me some disgusting tasting tea to drink every night,” he says. “For a while, it seemed to work. Then the eczema came back. I found a lot of things work for a while but then lose their effectiveness.”

John tries his best to live a normal life, but says it’s not easy. “When the itching is really bad, it’s very hard to concentrate at work,” he says. “Sometimes I have to take time off. Employers don’t like that, and it has an impact on everyone I work with. Sometimes sleeping is just impossible and that affects my daily life as well. I love playing cricket but direct sunlight turns me bright red. I look like a tomato.”

John is resigned to living with his condition, but he still has hope. “Nobody knows why I have eczema and as yet there’s no cure, but you never know. One day I could wake up and the eczema could just be gone. Until then, I just have to make do with the treatment we have.”

Eczema (atopic) - Ruby's story | Health

2010-12-10T14:28:00.000-08:00

Ruby was diagnosed with eczema at six weeks old. Her mum, Daniella, explains how they’ve learned to cope with Ruby’s condition

“At only 10 days old, Ruby developed a rash all over her, a bit like teenage spots with white pimples.

"Doctors thought it was her sebaceous glands not working properly and said it would go away. It did. However, as there's a history of eczema in my husband’s family and mine, and it's a hereditary condition, I always thought she would develop it.

"Doctors tell me not to use any of the commonly marketed baby products, perfumed products or soap. Now, her treatment involves two baths daily, using oil. Before the bath I also cover her body in aqueous cream. I wash her body with a flannel rather than a sponge because flannels can be washed daily.

"She doesn’t sleep with many cuddly toys in her cot as they can carry dust, and I don’t let her near animals as they can irritate and aggravate her skin.

"Some foods have had an effect on her skin too, so I have to make sure she doesn’t eat them and other people don’t give them to her. I also have to be careful with sun lotions and not to let her go in the sun too often.

"At its worst, the eczema on her right arm became infected and her skin went yellow and filled with pus. We quickly took her to the GP and she was put on antibiotics. I spoke to the nurses at the hospital, who suggested trying a wet wrapping with some support, which is like a sports bandage, but I decided to cover the arm in moisturiser with a dry bandage over the top to try to stop her scratching in the night.

"You can’t really stop a baby from scratching. You can distract them where possible and keep them occupied, keep their nails short by trimming them morning and night, and as a last resort I keep Ruby in long sleeves and cover her arms in a wet wrap.

"Once I was driving home in the evening after Ruby’s normal bath time and she was tired and irritable. I noticed in my rear mirror that she was scratching and scratching, and her arm was bleeding. I was stuck in traffic and still far from home, so the best I could do was to sing songs to try to distract her. That was the hardest incident.

"I hope she will grow out of the eczema. I grew out of it and so did other members of my family. However, some of the people on my husband’s side of the family still have it in their old age."

Eczema (atopic) - Family doctor Dawn Harper on the questions to ask | Health

2010-12-10T11:26:00.000-08:00

We asked Dr Dawn Harper what she would want to know if she was diagnosed with eczema.
What can I use to stop my skin drying out?

Soap will make your eczema worse. Use an emollient, which softens the skin, instead. A soap substitute such as aqueous cream won’t lather but it will work just as well as soap and keeps the skin well moisturised.

Can I still use deodorants and perfumes?

Use alcohol-free roll-on deodorants rather than aerosols and avoid perfumed products that may dry the skin. Wherever possible opt for ‘fragrance free’ products. Perfume can irritate the skin of eczema sufferers.

Is it safe to use a steroid cream?

If you use steroid creams as prescribed by your doctor, they can help reduce inflammation. Some people are scared of using steroid creams because of fears about side effects, but as long as they are used sparingly and are not too strong, they are perfectly safe.

As a rough guide, a blob the size of your fingernail should cover an area twice the size of the palm of your hand. If you do need to use a strong steroid cream, make sure you switch to a weaker strength cream after a few days.

How does the weather affect my condition?

Heat causes your skin to sweat, irritating your eczema and making it worse, and cold air dries it out. Avoiding extremes of temperature will help you to keep your eczema under control.

Do I need to cut certain types of food out of my diet?

Keep a food diary. Diet is often blamed for eczema, but this is the case in only around one in 10 people. A balanced diet is important for everyone, so only exclude foods that clearly aggravate the eczema and do so under advice from a dietitian.

What do I do if my eczema gets worse?

Consult your GP early if you notice a flare-up. Over time, you will recognise the symptoms and your GP may be happy for you to keep a steroid cream at home to treat flare-ups. However, until you are confident, it's best to check with your doctor and you should always seek medical advice if your self-help measures aren’t working.

Eczema (atopic) - NICE guidelines | Health

2010-12-09T17:24:00.000-08:00

It's important to know which sources you can rely on for more information on atopic eczema.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has produced healthcare guidelines on the treatment of atopic eczema.

This guidance outlines NICE’s main recommendations on how often topical steroids should be applied for this condition, and on treatment with tacrolimus and pimecrolimus (non-steroid creams and ointments).

Eczema (atopic) - Complications | Health

2010-12-09T16:23:00.000-08:00

Infection

As atopic eczema can cause your skin to become dry and cracked, the risk of getting a skin infection is increased. If you scratch your eczema, the likelihood of it becoming infected is also increased.

Bacterial infections can cause more severe symptoms. The most common type of bacteria that infects atopic eczema is Staphylococcus aureus. If your skin becomes infected with S. aureus, it can make your eczema worse, with increased redness, oozing of fluid and crusting of the skin. Your skin will be unable to heal naturally from this type of infection.
Psychological effects

As well as affecting you physically, atopic eczema may also affect you psychologically.

Preschool children with atopic eczema are more likely to have behavioural problems than children who do not have the condition. They are also more likely to be more dependent on their parents compared with children who do not have the condition.
Bullying

School children may experience teasing or bullying if they have atopic eczema. Any kind of bullying can be very traumatic and difficult for a child to deal with. You may find that your child becomes quiet and withdrawn. Make sure you explain the situation to your child's teacher and encourage your child to tell you about how they are feeling.
Sleep disturbance

Research has suggested that approximately 60% of children with atopic eczema have sleep-related problems. During a flare of atopic eczema, it is thought that (on average) five nights sleep are affected.

A lack of sleep may affect your child's mood and behaviour. It may also make it more difficult for them to concentrate at school, which may lead to them falling behind with their work. Again, it is important to let your child's teacher know about their condition, so that they can take factors such as this into consideration.

During an eczema flare, your child may also need to take time away from school. This again may affect their ability to keep up with their studies.
Self-confidence

Atopic eczema can affect the self-confidence of both adults and children. Children may find it particularly difficult to deal with their condition, which may result in them having a poor self-image.

If your child is severely lacking in confidence, it may affect their ability to develop their social skills. Support and encouragement will help boost your child's self-confidence, and give them a more positive attitude with regard to their appearance.

Speak to your GP if you are concerned that your child's eczema is severely affecting their confidence.

Eczema (atopic) - Treatment | Health

2010-12-09T15:22:00.000-08:00

Although there is no simple cure for atopic eczema, the symptoms during an eczema flare can usually be eased using a variety of treatments. Children with atopic eczema normally find that their symptoms naturally improve with time.
Self care

There are a number of self-care treatments that you can use at home to help manage your or your child's eczema symptoms.
Avoid scratching

Although eczema is often itchy, scratching it will further aggravate the skin. If you scratch your skin, the risk of your eczema becoming infected with bacteria will be increased (see the Complications section).

However, there may be times when you or your child will not be able to help scratching your eczema. Keeping nails short will help to minimise any damage to the skin. If your baby has atopic eczema, anti-scratch mittens will help prevent them scratching their skin.
Avoid trigger factors

Your GP will work with you to try to establish what factors or foods trigger your or your child's eczema flares (see the Diagnosis section). If you are able to establish which factors trigger flares, you can try to avoid contact with them.

For example, if some synthetic materials irritate your skin, stick to wearing natural materials, such as cotton. Or, if heat aggravates your eczema, keep the rooms in your home cool. Also, avoid using any soaps or detergents that you think may affect the skin.

Although house dust mites have been shown to trigger eczema flares, it is not recommended that you try to eradicate dust mites from your home. The process is very time-consuming and difficult to carry out effectively. Studies have also shown that dust mite avoidance techniques are rarely effective.
Diet

If you or your child has atopic eczema, you should not make any significant dietary changes without first consulting your GP. Some foods – such as milk, eggs and nuts – have been shown to trigger eczema symptoms. If you are breastfeeding a baby who has atopic eczema, you should also seek medical advice before making any changes to your regular diet.
Complementary therapies

Some people choose to use complementary therapies to treat atopic eczema, such as aromatherapy (using essential oils for a therapeutic effect).

Although some people find these therapies helpful, it is important to remember that there is often a lack of evidence to show that they are effective in treating conditions such as atopic eczema. Therefore, if you are thinking about using a complementary therapy, you should speak to your GP first, to ensure that the therapy is safe for you to use.
Emollients

Emollients are substances that help to soften and smooth your skin in order to keep it supple and moist. They are one of the most important forms of treatment for atopic eczema.

As atopic eczema can cause your skin to become dry and cracked, it is important to keep it moisturised to prevent it from becoming further irritated.
What emollients will be prescribed?

If you have recently been diagnosed with atopic eczema, and you or your child is receiving treatment for the first time, a number of different emollients may have to be tried before a suitable one is found.

Most people will need to be prescribed a number of different emollients for long-term use. For example, you may need to use one type of emollient on your face and hands and a different one for the rest of your body.

There are a number of different emollients that are designed for use on different skin types. For example, for very dry skin, ointments are often prescribed, and for skin that is less dry, creams and lotions are usually recommended.

If you have been using a particular emollient for some time, it may eventually become less effective, or it may start to irritate your skin. If this is the case, you should speak to your GP.
How should I use them?

Emollients should be applied by smoothing them into the skin in the same direction that the hair grows (see box). You should avoid rubbing emollients in, because doing so can irritate the skin.

After washing, make sure that you gently dry the skin. Apply the emollient as soon as the skin is dry. Do not share emollients with other people.

Creams and lotions tend to be more suitable for red, inflamed areas of skin. Ointments are more suitable for areas of dry skin that are not inflamed.
When should I use them?

Emollients should be used frequently, even when the skin appears to be clear. This should help to reduce the number of eczema flares that you or your child has. If the skin is very dry, emollients should be applied every two to three hours.

You may wish to consider keeping separate supplies of emollients at work or at school.

It is very important to keep using your emollients during a flare-up because this is when the skin needs the most moisture. During a flare-up, you should apply emollients very frequently and in generous amounts.

Emollient treatments should be used instead of soap. This is because most normal soaps irritate atopic eczema. Replacing soaps with emollients should help to reduce the risk of experiencing a flare-up. You can also get emollient bath and shower additives, which can help to prevent your skin from becoming aggravated.
Can they cause any side effects?

The most common side effect of using emollients is a rash. If you have atopic eczema, your skin is very sensitive and can sometimes react to certain ingredients within an emollient. If your or your child's skin reacts to the emollient, you should speak to your GP, who will be able to prescribe an alternative product.

It is important to be aware that some emollients contain paraffin and can be a fire hazard. As some emollient products are highly flammable, they should not be used near a naked flame.

Emollients that are added to your bath can also be easy to slip on. As long as you are aware of these hazards, you should be able to use emollients safely.
Topical corticosteroids

If your or your child's skin is red and inflamed from an atopic eczema flare, your GP may prescribe a topical corticosteroid (one that is applied directly to your skin) to help ease your symptoms. Corticosteroids work by quickly reducing inflammation.

You may be concerned about using medication that contains steroids. However, corticosteroids are not the same as anabolic steroids (which are sometimes used by bodybuilders to build muscle). When used correctly, corticosteroids are a safe and effective treatment for eczema.

The strength of corticosteroid that is prescribed will depend on the severity of your atopic eczema. Severe cases of atopic eczema will require a stronger corticosteroid than milder cases.

If your atopic eczema is moderate to severe, you may need to apply topical corticosteroids in between flare-ups, as well as during them.

If you need to use corticosteroids frequently, you should visit your GP regularly so they can check that the treatment is working effectively.
How should I use them?

When using corticosteroids, you should apply the treatment sparingly to the affected areas (see box). Always follow the directions on the patient information leaflet that comes with the corticosteroid, which will provide details about how much you should apply.

During an atopic eczema flare, you should not apply the corticosteroid more than twice a day. Most people will only have to apply it once a day. You should continue to apply the treatment for 48 hours after the flare-up has cleared up.

If you or your child are using corticosteroids on a long-term basis, you may be able to apply them less frequently. Your GP will advise you about how often you should be applying them.

Speak to your GP if you have been using a topical corticosteroid and your symptoms have not improved.
Alitretinoin

Alitretinoin (sold under the brand name Toctino) is a medication for severe, chronic hand eczema that has failed to respond to other treatments, such as topical corticosteroids.

Treatment with alitretinoin must be supervised by a dermatologist (a specialist in treating skin conditions).

Alitretinoin is a type of medication called retinoids. Retinoids help reduce the levels of irritation and itchiness associated with eczema.

Alitretinoin comes in tablet form and most people are recommended to take one tablet a day during a meal for 12-24 weeks.

Alitretinoin should never be taken during pregnancy because it can cause severe birth defects. You should also avoid taking alitretinoin when breastfeeding because the medication can enter your breast milk and harm your baby.

Due to the risk of birth defects, the use of alitretinoin is not recommended for women of child-bearing age.

If you are a woman of child-bearing age, you will only be prescribed alitretinoin if you agree to the following strict rules:

* you fully understand why you should not get pregnant and what you need to do to prevent it
* you agree to use one, or preferably two, methods of contraception, including condoms, or a cap, plus spermicide, even if you are not currently sexually active
* you agree to have pregnancy tests before and during treatment, and
* you sign a confirmation form stating that you are aware of the risks and what precautions you need to take

Common side effects of alitretinoin include:

* headaches
* inflammation of the eyes
* muscle and joint pain
* flushed (warm and red) skin
* dry skin

Uncommon side effects of alitretinoin include:

* hair loss
* nosebleeds
* sight problems, such as blurred or distorted vision

If you experience vision problems, you should stop treatment immediately and contact your dermatologist.
Antihistamines

Antihistamines are a type of medicine that work by stopping the effects of a substance in the blood, known as histamine. Your body often releases histamine when it comes into contact with an allergen. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, including sneezing, watery eyes and itching.

Antihistamines can either be sedating or non-sedating. Sedating antihistamines can make people feel drowsy. They are normally prescribed during a flare to help ease itchiness at night, helping you or your child to get a good night's sleep. Sedating antihistamines are prescribed on a short-term basis, usually for a maximum of two weeks at a time.

Sedating antihistamines should usually be taken about one hour before going to bed. Drowsiness may persist the following day, so make sure you let your child's school know that they may not be as alert as normal. If you are taking sedating antihistamines, avoid driving the next day if you still feel drowsy.

Non-sedating antihistamines also help to ease itching, but will not make you feel drowsy. You can therefore use this type of medicine on a long-term basis.
Infected eczema

If you or your child's eczema has become infected with bacteria (see the Complications section), you will usually be prescribed antibiotic treatment.

If you have an extensive area of infected eczema, an oral antibiotic will normally be prescribed. The antibiotic most commonly prescribed is flucloxacillin, which is usually taken for seven days. However, if you are allergic to penicillin, you will be prescribed a different antibiotic – either erythromycin or clarithomycin.

If you have a small amount of infected eczema, you will normally be prescribed a topical antibiotic. This means that the medicine is applied directly to the affected area of skin, in the form of an ointment or cream. They should not be used for longer than two weeks.
Reducing the risk of re-infection

Once your infection has cleared, your GP may have to prescribe new supplies of any topical medication or treatments that you use, such as emollients or corticosteroids. This is in case your old ones are infected. Once you have received the new supplies, you should throw your old treatments away.

If there are areas of your eczema that are prone to infection, you may be prescribed a topical antiseptic. This type of treatment is also applied directly to your affected skin, and works by helping to kill bacteria. Commonly prescribed topical antiseptics include chlorhexidine and triclosan.
Referral

In some severe cases of atopic eczema, your GP may have to refer you for assessment and treatment by a dermatologist. For example, your GP may refer you if you fail to respond to prescribed treatment, or if they are uncertain about what is causing your eczema.

Some of the treatments a dermatologist may be able to offer you include phototherapy – where your eczema is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light; bandaging – where treatments such as medicated dressings or wet wraps are applied to your skin; and topical calcineurin inhibitors – a type of medicine that helps to reduce inflammation.

However, these types of treatments are not suitable for everyone, and can only be carried out by experienced skincare specialists.

Eczema (atopic) - Diagnosis | Health

2010-12-09T02:13:00.001-08:00

Your GP will usually be able to diagnose atopic eczema by assessing your or your child's skin and asking some questions about the symptoms.

You will be asked whether there is any history of atopic eczema in your family, or any other conditions that may be related to your eczema, such as allergies or asthma.

Diagnostic criteria

To help confirm a diagnosis of atopic eczema, your GP will assess the appearance of your skin against a number of diagnostic criteria.

In order to be diagnosed with atopic eczema, you must have had an itchy skin condition in the last 12 months plus three or more of the criteria outlined below.

* Itchiness and irritation in the creases of your skin, such as the front of your elbows, behind your knees, at the front of your ankles, around your neck or around your eyes.
* You currently have asthma or hay fever, or you have had them in the past. In the case of a child who is less than four years of age, they must have an immediate relative, such as a parent, brother or sister, who has asthma or hay fever.
* Your skin has been dry within the last 12 months.
* Your condition started when you were two years of age or younger (this criteria is not used if your child is less than four years of age).
* There is eczema on the skin covering your joints, or the parts of your body that flex, such as your elbow, knees and wrists.

If your symptoms meet these diagnostic criteria, your GP will probably not need to carry out any formal kind of testing in order to confirm the diagnosis.

Establishing trigger factors

Your GP will work with you to try to establish what factors worsen your eczema. They may ask you some questions about your diet and lifestyle to see if there are any obvious factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. For example, if you have recently changed the type of soap or detergent that you use, it may be a trigger factor.

Your GP may also use other methods to try to determine what is triggering your eczema. For example, they may ask you to keep a food diary, to establish whether a specific food is causing your symptoms to worsen.

A food diary involves you noting down everything that you eat, while at the same time making a record of any eczema flares that you have. In this way, your GP can see if there are any patterns between your symptoms and what you eat.

Eczema (atopic) - Causes | Health

2010-12-09T02:09:00.001-08:00

Atopic eczema is an inherited condition, which means that you are born with it. It may be made worse by 'external' factors, such as pet fur and pollen, or 'internal' factors, such as stress and hormone levels.

Genetic factors

Research suggests that atopic eczema is primarily caused by a genetic problem. However, the exact genetic cause is not yet known.

If a child's parents have atopic eczema, there is a high probability that the child will also develop the condition. For example, studies have shown that 60% of children who have a parent with atopic eczema also have the condition. And, in cases where both parents have atopic eczema, 80% of children also have the condition.

Environmental factors

There are a number of environmental factors that can make atopic eczema worse.

Allergens are substances that can cause the body to react abnormally. This is known as an allergic reaction. Some of the most common allergens that can worsen atopic eczema include:

* house dust mites
* pet fur
* pollen

Atopic eczema can also sometimes be aggravated by food allergens. Foods that typically cause allergic reactions include:

* cow's milk
* eggs
* nuts
* soya
* wheat

Approximately 10% of children with atopic eczema are affected by the food allergens listed above. It is relatively rare for food allergens to trigger atopic eczema in adults.

Hormonal changes

Many women find that their eczema is worse at certain times during their menstrual cycle. This is because hormonal changes in the body can affect the symptoms of atopic eczema.

Approximately 30% of women experience a flare-up of their eczema in the days before their period. Pregnancy can also have an adverse affect on those who have atopic eczema, with up to 50% of pregnant women finding that their eczema symptoms worsen during pregnancy.

Stress

Although it is known that stress is associated with atopic eczema, precisely how it affects the condition is not yet fully understood. Some people with eczema feel that their symptoms are worse when they are stressed. Others find that it is their symptoms that cause them to feel stressed.

Seasons

Most people with atopic eczema find that their symptoms improve during the summer months and get worse in the winter.

Exercise

After vigorous exercise, you may find that sweating makes your eczema symptoms worse. You should therefore try to keep cool when you are exercising by drinking plenty of fluids and taking regular breaks.

Eczema (atopic) - Symptoms | Health

2010-12-09T02:08:00.001-08:00

The symptoms of atopic eczema may always be present, but during a flare-up they will worsen and you or your child may need more intense treatment.

Atopic eczema can cause your skin to be one or more of the following:

* dry
* itchy
* red
* broken
* thickened
* cracked

During a flare-up, your skin may be:

* extremely itchy, red, hot, dry and scaly
* wet, weeping and swollen
* infected with bacteria (usually staphylococcus)

The symptoms of atopic eczema will vary according to how severely you or your child are affected by the condition.

People with mild atopic eczema will normally only experience small areas of dry skin, which are occasionally itchy. However, in more severe cases, atopic eczema can cause widespread dry skin, constant itching and oozing fluid.
Scratching can disrupt your sleep and make your skin bleed. It can also make an itch worse and an itch-scratch cycle may develop, with regular scratching. In children, this can lead to sleepless nights and difficulty concentrating at school.
Can eczema lead to more serious problems?

Broken skin can commonly lead to secondary infections, which are unpleasant and in severe cases may be difficult to treat. Eye complications of atopic eczema include conjunctival irritation and, less commonly, conjunctivitis and cataracts.

Eczema (atopic)

2010-12-09T02:06:00.000-08:00

Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes the skin to become itchy, reddened, dry and cracked.

Atopic eczema is the most common form of eczema, and mainly affects children. The exact cause of atopic eczema is unknown, but it often occurs in people who are prone to allergies ('atopic' means sensitivity to allergens).

Approximately three in 10 people who visit their GP with a skin problem are diagnosed with atopic eczema. The number of people who are diagnosed with it has increased in recent years. Males and females are affected equally, as are people from different ethnic backgrounds.

About eight in 10 atopic eczema cases occur before a child reaches five years of age. Many children develop it before their first birthday.
How will atopic eczema affect me or my child?

Atopic eczema can vary in severity. Some people are only mildly affected and have small areas of dry skin, which are occasionally itchy. Others may experience more severe symptoms, such as cracked, sore and bleeding skin.

For most children with atopic eczema, it clears up or significantly improves as they get older. In approximately 53% of young children with atopic eczema, it clears up by the time they reach 11, and in 65% of cases it clears up by the age of 16.

2010-09-17T02:32:00.000-07:00

After the overt teasing, leaking, and then more leaking, Microsoft's finally ready to spit out the details on its Arc Touch Mouse, which at the end of the day is really just... a mouse. As we've seen, the peripheral has an incredibly unique design -- the flat device arches its back to click into a mountain shape, which actually ends up powering the little rodent up. So, where does the whole "touch" factor come into play? Well, very similarly to the Mad Catz Eclipse mouse, the Arc Touch has a capacitive touch strip with sensor pads between the mouse buttons that can be used for scrolling and customizable shortcuts. We've got you covered with some hands-on impressions and video after the break, but that's about all you'll be getting for a while since the press release below says the $69.95 mouse won't hit the market until December. Yep, December! That's a bit odd to us, but they'll be taking pre-orders today so hit the break to finally see this thing push the cursor around.

Microsoft Arc Touch mouse hands-on / unboxing

Microsoft Arc Touch mouse press shots

On the box Microsoft only states Windows compatibility, but when we plugged the magnetic-nano USB dongle into our MacBook Pro we were up and running within seconds -- the scroll strip even worked quite well in Firefox and Chrome. Obviously, the mouse is much more customizable on a Windows PC, and we downloaded the new drivers to the Inspiron M101z to configure some shortcuts for the touchpad. The software allows for configuring different tap tricks -- for instance, we configured a double-tap on the strip to launch Windows Flip. While the shortcut is helpful, we mistakenly ended up tapping on the pad a few times when attempting to just scroll through the page. Speaking of scrolling, it's all rather fluid and when you drag a finger over the strip there's haptic feedback, which is supposedly intended to simulate the feeling of using a scroll wheel. It's a rather odd, yet cool feeling and we've just about gotten the hang of what short and longer finger strokes will do in terms of overall control. In terms of comfort, the soft rubber grip arc is mighty comfortable, though we've only been playing around with it for a few hours so we haven't really been able to give the ergonomics of it all a fair shake. On that note, enjoy the video below and stay tuned for our full review sometime soon.

New Zealand Dollar Weakens on Interest Rates Outlook

2010-09-16T08:12:00.000-07:00

The New Zealand dollar weakened today after the dovish statement of Alan Bollard, the governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, suggested that the central bank would keep the interest rates unchanged.

Bollard said that the worst earthquake in 80 years “significantly disrupted economic activity and is likely to continue to do so for some time.” The statement, which was more dovish than the traders expected, sent the bets on the interest rates hike down by as much as one and a half percentage point. The central bank left the overnight cash rate at 3 percent today.

NZD/USD fell from 0.7313 to 0.7260 as of 9:22 GMT today, following the decline to 0.7225.

Yen Rises After Decline on Intervention

2010-09-16T08:11:00.000-07:00

The Japanese yen pared yesterday’s losses on the speculation that Japan’s exporters would buy the currency after the government intervention pushed the yen down to the lowest level in almost two weeks against the US dollar.

The Japanese exporters may buy the yen before the fiscal half-year end. They usually purchase the yen to convert the overseas earnings into the local currency when they close their account books in March and September. The traders try to determine whether Japan’s government plans to weaken the currency or it simply wants to prevent the extensive gains.

USD/JPY went down today from 85.74 to 85.54 as of 8:51 GMT, following the decline to 85.21. The currency pair currently shows the upward trend.

Intervention Excitement Subsides

2010-09-16T08:02:00.000-07:00

The talk around the camp fire continues to be yesterday’s Japanese forex intervention, and for good reason. First of all, it was very, very big with the Nikkei reporting that the BoJ sold more than ¥2trn which roughly equates to $23bn over the course of Asia, Europe and the US sessions. The enormous size required to move the USDJPY just 250 pips just illustrates the entrenched bearish sentiment and potentially highlights the fact that the central bank has a difficult & costly task ahead of it. Note, it’s still unclear if the operations have been “sterilized” and we won’t know until Friday’s BoJ current account report. In order to weaken the JPY, unsterilized intervention should have the most profound effect since in essence it is just “printing money” and artificially expanding the money supply. Secondly, while the move was clearly executed unilaterally there has been little public rebuke, with really only the EU’s Juncker stating that "unilateral action is not an appropriate way to deal with global imbalance on currency markets.”

This apparent shift in unofficial policy will make convincing the Chinese to change their currency policy a losing battle. Tonight's testimony by US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to the US House Ways and Means committee, specifically focused on the CNY, will be important. With no real response from the US, Geithner will have to be the first to pick a side. Obviously Geithner will like to avoid being seen as hypocritical by not voicing objections to the Japanese move, but demanding greater flexibility in the CNY. As the fear of further interventions has waned, USDJPY has slowly, cautiously traded lower.

In the near term, US-Japanese interest differentials will continue to be the core driver making US economic data and next week’s FOMC critical (markets watching for QE2). We suspect that the probability of US yields moving higher is low (despite JPY overvaluation) and USDJPY will be tempted to retest 83.00.

We are in line with the nearly unanimous expectation (save a lone Swiss Bank) that the SNB will hold its 3m CHF Libor target band at 0.00-0.75 with a 0.25% mid-point. There is no denying that current Swiss fundamentals are accelerating, and the pace of growth has helped fuel a real-estate bubble which greatly concerns the SNB. Despite moderately hawkish SNB rhetoric at the June monetary policy assessment and overall conditions that could point to the SNB considering tightening, we still believe the historically low level of EURCHF will keep the SNB in check for now. Given the market’s demand for the best safe-haven currency, a hike would only amplify the CHF’s attractiveness.

In Turkey the central bank is widely expected to hold the benchmark repo rate at 7.00%. Sunday’s referendum which held up the government-sponsored changes to the constitution should not have any profound economic blowback, indeed it was supported by S&P rating agency forecasting a growth rate of over 8% and reiterated a “positive outlook.” Conditions are ripe for the CBT to bring rate hike forward.

Comments:

T he yen crept higher on Thursday but the market is still on alert for more intervention by Japanese authorities after a massive amount of yen-selling the previous day knocked the yen off a 15-year high against the dollar. Nikkei business daily reported, Japan sold an estimated 2 trillion yen ($23 billion) on Wednesday, a record for a single day, in a move seen as aimed at showing its resolve to curb yen strength.

The market is now awaiting US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s comments later in the day about Japan's intervention, which boosted the dollar by more than 3 percent, its biggest daily gain against the yen in almost two years. Japan's Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, signaled on Thursday authorities would keep intervening to curb the threat the currency poses to the fragile economic recovery.

Meanwhile, US, China debate on yuan’s appreciation seems to be heating up. Geithner stepped up criticism yesterday, saying the yuan was strengthening too slowly, calling on China to allow “significant, sustained appreciation over time” and for the yuan to “fully reflect market forces.”
China’s Foreign Ministry, in defense of the country’s policy, spoke out saying pressure will not solve China’s currency issue. The spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a news conference that “appreciation of the renminbi will not solve US’ deficit and unemployment problems.

The SNB's latest policy decision is due today at 14:00 CET. Expectations are that the SNB will keep rates unchanged, however there are some analysts who believe the Swiss central bank may raise rates by 25 bps as the Swiss government has just raised 2010 GDP growth forecast to 2.7 percent from 1.8 percent.

The RBNZ kept its policy rate on hold at 3 percent and had a dovish policy announcement. The RBNZ noted that the pace of expansion in the global economy “has slowed in recent months with forward looking growth indicators of US growth, in particular, deteriorating noticeably.”

Good Day,

Comments:

Japan intervened in the Foreign Exchange Market on Wednesday, selling yen to try and halt the currency’s ruthless rise. The intervention was the first in six years, as the yen’s rise threatened an already fragile recovery and exporters. Japan’s Prime Minister, fresh from a party leadership contest victory, stepped up efforts to fight deflation by targeting yen strength, which has hurt stock prices and corporate profits.

Meanwhile, a senior official at the Ministry of Finance said on Wednesday, that Japan’s intervention in the foreign exchange market is not finished. He continued to say that an “intervention is not finished after one move”. Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda said Japan intervened in the currency market as the impact of the yen's rise on the economy could not be ignored and that Japan would continue to take action, but that it had been acting solo.

Estimates on how much yen selling Japan had done so far ranged widely. Dealers cited talk of 300-500 billion yen ($3.6 billion-$6 billion) although some reports put it closer to 100 billion yen.
The intervention pushed higher-yielding currencies such as the euro, sterling and Australian dollar up more than 2 percent higher against the Japanese currency, however traders believe Japan didn’t buy anything but dollar.

The dollar is up 2.83 percent to 85.39 versus the yen, from 82.87 prior to intervention, while the euro climbed up to 110.97, 2.80 percent, against the yen.

Yesterday, RTFX’s Asset Management Service Shiva recorded almost 3.5 percent gain, mostly attributed to the increase in volatility on better than expected Retail Sales figures from the US. We should expect more gains today, as talks of Japan intervening again to sell yen, continue to increase volatility in the Forex market.

Good Day,

The Wait is Over, Japan Finally Intervenes

2010-09-15T04:19:00.000-07:00

Well the wait is finally over. Perhaps it was my call yesterday for the USDJPY to break 83.00 that pushed the Japan into action (joke). After weeks of aggressive verbal intervention, USDJPY hit a low of 82.87 and Japanese officials subsequently stepped in. Market chatter has speculated that roughly 1.0bn to 9.0bn worth of JPY was sold to push the pair up 2 big figures. Interestingly, in other news a major US investment bank put out a piece in which they believed the Fed would imminently initiate QE2 with roughly $1trn in asset purchases; however given the current economic landscape we believe the Fed will stay on the sidelines.

The news hit the street like a canon ball and USD long positions were cut across the board as confidence in the greenback collapsed (i.e. not the result of risk aversion trade). EURUSD rallied to 1.3000 and USDCHF dropped below parity. Clearly when Japan woke to a USDJPY below 83 the panic button was hit. Japanese officials cited a major concern was the fact that in spite of decent US economic data (yesterday’s retail sales), neither US yields nor USDJPY managed to gain. I

In a post-intervention press conference Japanese Finance Minister Noda acknowledged that the government intervened directly in the FX markets, but details regarding what currency pairs were manipulated was not commented on (although price actions suggests USDJPY was the target). In addition the BoJ Governor stated that they stood ready to provided additional liquidity. An important fact that needs to be highlighted is that so far, comments and actions suggest that Japan has moved unilaterally, however the action suggests that other G10 policy makers had permitted the move.

On a side note it will very interesting to see how the Chinese reacts to the clear manipulation of currencies after the massive pressure G20 officials have placed on their CNY mechanism.

Moving forward we have a negative view on the success rate of FX interventions. Japan’s last foray into the markets between 2002 and 2004 saw the USDJPY drop to 105 from 124. In Switzerland the recent SNB attempts to stem the CHF appreciation have also seen EURCHF fall to 1.2800 from 1.5400. Despite the weight these central banks push around, fundamentals and market dynamics are the core drivers. With worries over the FOMC meeting next Tuesday, and structural problems in Europe far from being resolved, we suspect that recent JPY weakness is a buying opportunity.

The headline grabbing Japanese intervention has pushed some important developments under the rug. First in our mind was the mixed response that investors gave yesterday’s Greek auction. Greece issued €1.17bn in 6M bills for a yield of 4.82% up from 4.65% in July. The good news is that Greece still has access to capital markets, however the cost is very high. Sovereign risk is still a core concern and there has been a strong correlation between G10 performance and CDS prices.

In the UK, headline CPI was unchanged at 3.1%y/y but monthly sequential inflation was higher then expected. While many BoE members are putting on a brave face, BoE’s Miles stated that currently inflation remains uncomfortably above target, and although spare capacity should keep inflation in check, there is a high degree of uncertainty. As the stubborn inflation data continues to push market thinking away from further QE, the sterling should be supported.

FBS Holdings: AUD/NZD will rise to NZ$1.30

2010-09-15T04:13:00.001-07:00

Specialists at ANZ National Bank Ltd. and Barclays Capital claim that New Zealand’s dollar may drop to 5-month minimum versus its Australian counterpart.

Such forecast is based on the fact that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to leave its benchmark interest rate at 3% tomorrow, while Australia is likely to lift the rates up as its economic growth is gaining pace.

In addition, the country will face the consequences of the most destructive earthquake in 80 years that occurred at the beginning of the month. New Zealand’s third quarter GDP can get 0.4% lower due to the disaster. The costs of the earthquake are estimated to reach NZ$4 billion ($2.9 billion).

According to ANZ National Bank’s forecast, kiwi will fall to NZ$1.30 per Aussie in the next few months. Strategists at Barclays Capital note that New Zealand’s dollar will bottom at these level as the nation’s central bank may still raise rates later when economy rebounds after reconstruction.

Treasury Department predicts that GDP will gain 0.5 percentage point in the year to June 30, 2011. Analysts at Bank of New Zealand Ltd. believe that kiwi will advance to NZ$1.25 per Aussie by the end of 2010. In their view, the key rate will be hiked in December and through 2011 to rise to 5.5% at the beginning of 2012.

FBS Holdings: Japan performed currency intervention

2010-09-15T04:12:00.003-07:00

Japanese yen fell from 15-year maximum versus the greenback as Japanese monetary authorities performed currency intervention for the first time since 2004 in order to stop excessive appreciation of the national currency.

Japan’s Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced today that the country unilaterally sold yen. It happened a day after Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan was reelected as the leader of ruling Democratic Party and it was not he but his opponent Ichiro Ozawa who called for urgent intervention.

The pair USD/JPY rose from 83.04 yen at today’s opening to set maximum at 85.13. It’s trading currently in area.

The analysts’ reactions on the intervention were different. Strategists at Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong note that Japan’s actions at the currency market will be successful only with support from the Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank. In their view, yen’s strengthening against US dollar is driven mainly by US problems.

Economists at Citigroup Inc. in Singapore, on the contrary, believe that the result of the intervention may be much better than it’s thought as direct comments of Noda create a “strong conviction” in the market players. Analysts at Gaitame.com Research Institute Ltd. in Tokyo think that what happened today shows that Japanese government are resolute to hold yen from dangerous gains.

FBS Holdings: AUD/USD may rise to 0.9850

2010-09-15T04:12:00.001-07:00

The pair AUD/USD was trading within an uptrend since the beginning of June. Australian currency rose from 0.8081 climbing above 0.9300. Technical analysts at Mizuho Corporate Bank believe that Aussie is likely to reach this year’s maximum at 0.9400.

According to the specialists, if Australian dollar closes the day, week, month or quarter above 0.9400 during the next 12 working days, it may strengthen to 2009 maximum or even 2008 high at 0.9850.

If the week is closed below 0.9850, bullish prospects for the pair may be erased, while below 0.8600 the forecast should be reviewed.

FBS Holdings: 85.92/96 – resistance for USD/JPY

2010-09-15T04:11:00.001-07:00

The greenback jumped from the 15-year minimum versus Japanese yen at 82.85 getting above 85.00.

Technical analysts at Commerzbank believe that the pair USD/JPY is moving up towards resistance in 85.92/96 area limited by August maximum and the May-to-September downtrend line intersect as well as by mid-July minimum at 86.27.

If dollar declines, support levels will be found at 84.58 (breached June-to-September resistance line), 84.45 (September 13 maximum) and 83.59 (August minimum).

FBS Holdings: Franc hit the parity with US dollar

2010-09-15T04:10:00.003-07:00

Yesterday Swiss franc hit parity with the greenback for the first time since December 2009. Analysts at Deutsche Bank AG in London claim that Swiss currency is driven by high uncertainty in the major currencies, especially, in euro and US dollar.

The euro zone and the United States suffer from rising debt and economic problems. European ZEW index of investor and analyst expectations fell in August from 14 to minus 4.3. Switzerland’s economic data, on the contrary, seems to be quite strong and investors regard franc as a refuge currency increasing demand for it.

Strategists at Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank in London note that the pair USD/CHF is moving within the clear downtrend. Since the beginning of June dollar lost 15% against its Swiss counterpart.

Franc climbed to 99.33 centimes that is its strongest level since November 26. The pair USD/CHF is currently trading in 1.0030 area.

UBS: SNB may raise benchmark rate

2010-09-15T04:10:00.001-07:00

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) that meets on Thursday, September 16 may raise its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 0.5% as a measure against the threat of increasing wages and domestic property prices, claims UBS AG. Other 18 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg believe that the central bank will leave key rate at its current 0.25% level.

UBS strategists note that franc’s appreciation is usually regarded as the limiting factor for hiking rates as monetary tightening makes the currency advance even more. However, the specialists suppose that the risks of overheating in the domestic economy will seem for the SNB more urgent and important to deal with than the negative effects of strong franc on the country’s exports.

Yuan rose to maximum since 1993

2010-09-15T04:09:00.001-07:00

Chinese currency advanced to 6.7330 that is the maximal level versus the greenback since 1993 the country’s central bank unified official and market exchange rates. It happened under the influence of expectations that the People’s Bank of China will let yuan gain more due to growing inflation pace and pressure from abroad.

China’s CPI increased by 3.5% in August from its 2009 level showing the biggest advance in 22 months. Chinese monetary authorities note that higher exchange rate will help to decrease import prices and ease inflationary pressure.

US House Ways and Means Committee begins today a 2-day meeting devoted to China’s currency policy. Last week Larry Summers, head of President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council, met Chinese officials in Beijing in order to persuade China allow yuan appreciate more quickly.

China had a $119 billion trade surplus with the United States in the first half of 2010, according to the data from US Commerce Department. As a result, this year’s figures may exceed 2009 level of $227 billion.

FOREX-Dollar soars, yen falls as Japan intervenes

2010-09-15T04:06:00.000-07:00

* Japan intervenes for first time in six years

* BOJ continues to buy dollars in European session

* Dollar rises to 85.53 yen, runs into strong offers

* Key Ichimoku resistance at 86.40 untested

(Adds quote, updates throughout)

By Neal Armstrong

LONDON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - The dollar jumped more than two yen from a 15-year low after Japan intervened to sell yen for the first time in six years, but with key chart levels yet to break, traders were sceptical the impact would be sustained.

The intervention helped propel the euro, Australian dollar and sterling sharply higher on the day against the Japanese currency, although traders doubted Japan had bought anything other than dollars for yen.

Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda said Japan intervened in the currency market as the impact of the yen's rise on the economy could not be ignored and that Japan would continue to take action, but that it had been acting alone.

The Bank of Japan acts for the Ministry of Finance in intervention, which traders said continued in the Asian and European sessions after an initial bout at around 83 yen per dollar shortly after the dollar hit a 15-year low of 82.87 yen.

At 0939 GMT, the dollar was up 2.2 percent at 85.21 yen JPY=, close to a session high of 85.53 hit on trading platform EBS. The euro was 2.5 percent higher at 110.54 yen EURJPY=R after briefly entering its Ichimoku Cloud, an indicator used to gauge momentum and future areas of support and resistance, at 111.01.

"I think we're now going to see persistent official buying of dollar/yen in the near-term," said Adam Cole, head of currency strategy at RBC Capital Markets.

Traders said official intervention persisted into the European session, with buying of dollars reported in the 84.95/85.00 area and at 85.25 on trading platform EBS, before strong offers above 85.50 capped the move.

"The rally will probably stall in the high 80s unless the U.S. economy bounces back or the Fed switches to a more hawkish policy. Until that happens, I dont think the gains in the dollar/yen can be sustained," said Lee Hardman, currency economist at Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi-UFJ in London.

Some stop-losses were reported at 85.75, but technical analysts said the focus remained on the downside while dollar/yen held below key resistance at 86.40, which is the bottom of the closely watched Ichimoku Cloud.

Implied dollar/yen volatility was higher with the one-month JPY1MO= trading around 12.50 percent up from 12.3 on Tuesday but well below year-to-date highs seen in May near 18.00.

Risk-reversals, the premium required to hold a put or a call in a currency, were showing less of a bias for yen calls. The one-month 25-delta stood around 0.70 for yen calls compared with 1.50 on

Ahmet Maranki'den Kozmik Yaz Arınması - Detoksu

2010-07-17T03:38:00.000-07:00

İnsanlığa faydalı olmak adına sağlıklı beslenme üzerine yüzlerce konferans veren, kitapları “en çok satanlar” listesinde ilk sıralarda yer alan, katıldığı televizyon programlarında reyting rekorları kıran Ahmet Maranki, patenti Kozmik Bilim'e ait Kozmik Yaz Arınmasının formülünü açıkladı. Daha sağlıklı bir yaz geçirmek ve formda kalmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilen kozmik yaz arınmasının iki temel gıdası kiraz ve karpuz…

Ayın çekim kuvvetine ve ayın hareketlerine göre tarihi belirlenen bir uygulamayla yapılan detokstan, mistik inançlarda ve dini kitaplarda "13-14 ve 15 oruçları" diye bahsedilmektedir.

Karpuz Detoksu

Ayın hareketine göre yapılan karpuz diyetinin ilki, Hicri takvime göre Şaban ayının 13-14 ve 15. günleri yani; Temmuz ayının 25-26 ve 27'sinde uygulanır.

Kozmik Bilim takipçilerinin bu günlerde uygulayacakları program aşağıdaki gibidir:

Sabah: 3 bardak bitki çayı ile kilosu 60-70 arasında olanlar 500 gram, 70’ten fazla olanlar ise 1000 gram karpuz tüketmeli.

Öğle: 3 bardak bitki çayı ile kilosu 60-70 arasında olanlar 500 gram, 70’ten fazla olanlar ise 1000 gram karpuz tüketmeli.

Akşam (Gün batımı sonrası) : 3 bardak bitki çayı ile kilosu 60-70 arasında olanlar 500 gram, 70’ten fazla olanlar ise 1000 gram karpuz tüketmeli.

3 gün boyunca devam eden karpuz detoksunda, her öğünde en az 3 fincan yeşil çay ya da muhtelif bitki çayları ve PH seviyesi yüksek, kaliteli, alkali sular bolca tüketilmelidir. Bitki çaylarının içine tatlandırıcı olarak sadece çiçek balı kullanılmalıdır.

Karpuz seçerken gübreli, iri ve hibrit (dölsüz) tohumlu karpuzlarla, kabaktan aşılanmış karpuz olmamasına kesinlikle dikkat edilmelidir.

Karpuz detoksuna başlamadan 3 gün önce, detoksun etkisini artırmak amacıyla kırmızı et, kızartma, tavuk eti, konsantre gıda, siyah çay, beyaz ekmek gibi gıdaları tüketmemeye özen gösterilmelidir. İki detoks arasında geçen sürüde de bu kurala uyulmalıdır.

Karpuzun Faydaları

Yaz aylarının vazgeçilmez meyvesi olan karpuzun birçok faydası vardır. Kan basıncının dengelenmesinden, sağlıklı zayıflamaya kadar çok sayıda faydası olan karpuzun yaz aylarında bol bol tüketilmesi önerilir.

Karpuzun bedeni temizleyici özelliği vardır. Yüzde 95′i su olduğu için böbrekleri çok iyi çalıştırır. İdrar söktürür. Böbrekteki üre ve ürat tuzlarını temizler. Ayrıca kum dökme, taş düşürmeye de etkilidir. Bol bol B, C vitamini ve anti oksidan içerir. İçerdiği yüksek potasyum ve Beta Karoten maddesi sayesinde kalbi enfaktüse karşı koruyucu özelliği vardır. Karpuz tam anlamıyla bir şifa kaynağıdır. Bol miktarda su içermesi ve şeker barındırmaması, ayrıca boşaltımı hızlandırması gibi özellikleriyle kilo vermeyi hızlandırır.

Yemekten hemen sonra tüketilen karpuz, şişkinlik ve sindirim zorluğu meydana getirir. Karpuzu açken tüketmek içerdiği faydalardan azami şekilde yararlanılmasını sağlar. Bu sebeple karpuz yemeklerden çok önce ya da yemeklerden epeyce sora tüketilmelidir.

Daha geniş bilgi Ahmet Maranki’nin “Kozmik Bilim Işığında Şifalı Bitkiler” kitabında mevcuttur.

ÖNEMLİ NOTLAR

- Arzu edenler sabahları sulu lavman setiyle lavman uygulaması yapabilir.

- Detoksun safra kesesi, kalın bağırsak ve karaciğere daha etkili olması açısından, her gece yatmadan önce bir kahve fincanı zeytinyağı ile aynı oranda limon suyu karışımı karıştırılıp içilebilir.

KOBİK ekibinin Hindistan'da özel olarak hazırlattığı, bedenimizde ortaya çıkan sorunlara karşı kullanılabilen "Kozmik Şifalı Taşların" yeni modelleri satışa sunuldu. Ahmet Maranki'nin "Kozmik Bilim Işığında Şifalı Taşlar" kitabı çok yakında piyasada!
Değerli taşlardan yapılmış kolye, yüzük ve küpeden oluşan 3’lü Kozmik inci seti ve erkek yüzükleri yeni modelleriyle hizmetinizde!
Hindistan'da özel olarak yaptırılan takı setleri, bedenimizdeki bir çok sıkıntı için kullanılabiliyor!
İnsanların beden ve ruhlarındaki sıkıntılarını rahatlatan taşlarla ilgili olarak, Kozmik bilim konusundaki çalışmaları ile tanınan stratejik araştırmalar uzmanı Ahmet Maranki, taşların hayatımızdaki yeri, hangi taşın hangi soruna karşı kullanılması gerektiği konularında bizleri aydınlatarak, özel olarak hazırladığı Kozmik taşların yeni modellerini takipçileriyle buluşturdu.
Taşlar nasıl bir etkiyle tedavi ediyor?
Kozmik Bilime göre rahatsızlıkların oluşum sebebi, enerji merkezi seviyesindeki bir enerjinin tıkanması ile izah edilir.
Dolayısıyla her taşın bir enerji boyutu vardır ve insan vücudundaki enerji merkezleri bu taşların yaydığı minimize dalga boylarıyla korunur. Yani mesela tiroit bezlerinizde sorun varsa, buradaki hücrelerinizde bir enerji blokajı varsa, yüzüğünüzdeki turkuaz buraya uyarı yaparak enerji verir. Sonuçta da enerji akımı dolayısıyla canlanırsınız.

Koç: Kırmızı taşlar (Kozmik takılarımızda kırmızı taşlardan erkekler için kuvars, kadınlar için akik kullanılmıştır)
Boğa: Zümrüt (Kozmik takılarımızda zümrütle aynı guruptan erkekler için akik, kadınlar için peridot kullanılmıştır)
İkizler: Firuze, zümrüt (Kozmik takılarımızda zümrüt ve firuze ile aynı guruptan erkekler için akik, kadınlar için peridot kullanılmıştır)

Terazi: Yakut (Kozmik takılarımızda yakutla aynı guruptan erkekler için kuvars, kadınlar için akik kullanılmıştır)
Akrep: Yeşil, mavi taşlar (Kozmik takılarımızda yeşil, mavi taşlardan topaz, akuamarin, akik ve peridot kullanılmıştır)
Yay: Turkuaz, elmas (Kozmik takılarımızda turkuaz ve elmasla aynı guruptan erkekler için topaz, kadınlar için akuamarin kullanılmıştır)

Kova: Akik (Kozmik takılarımızda akik kullanılmıştır)
Balık: Yakut (Kozmik takılarımızda yakutla aynı guruptan erkekler için kuvars, kadınlar için akik kullanılmıştır)
Not: Her kozmik renkle uyumlu en az 10 tane taş vardır. Bizler sizin için en yoğun enerjili olanlarını seçerek hizmetinize sunduk.

Ahmet Maranki ile GDO'lar Üzerine Çok Özel Söyleşi!

2010-07-17T03:15:00.000-07:00

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Maranki, Milli Gazete yazarı Nedim Odabaşı'nın GDO'larla ilgili sorularını yanıtladı.
Prof. Dr. Ahmet Maranki, gazeteci yazar Nedim Odabaşı ile GDO'lu gıdalarla ilgili bir röportaj gerçekleştirdi.
Geni değiştirilmiş ve hibrid (melezleştirilmiş) bitkilerle ilgili "Biz bundan 2 sene önce çok önemli mesajlar vermiştik. Son günlerde GDO bombardımanı kopuyor" diyen Maranki, "Ben çok mutluyum. Biz üç sene önce, Avrupa'daki patateslerinin Arjantin'den tozlarının getirilip cips yapıldığı, çocuklarımızın mahvedileceği, yediğimiz domateslerin kabuklarının kalınlaştırılıp domuz geniyle karıştırılıp kabuğunun sertleştirildiği gibi pek çok konuyu gündeme getirdiğimizde, bize deli hükmünde bakmışlardı, şarlatan demişlerdi. Şimdi o gün çok önemli tartışma için ortaya attığımız taşı çıkarmaya çalışıyorlar" ifadelerini kullandı.
Nedim Odabaşı'nın Ahmet Maranki ile yaptığı Milli Gazete Röportajı:
M.G: Şifalı bitkiler bizim gerçeğimiz, öteden beri tabiat eczanesinin bize verdiği bu değerleri kullanmaktayız. Modern tıp, şifalı bitkileri geri plana itmiş gibi bir görüntü vardı. Şifalı bitkileri tekrar hayatımıza sokan birisi olarak neler söyleyeceksiniz?
A.M: Ben uzun yıllar Amerika'da ve Rusya'da devlet adına görevlerde bulundum. Amerika'da tarım çiftliklerinde Rusya'da 15 yıla yakın üniversitelerde, Pazar ekonomisti olarak pek çok araştırmalarda bulundum. Eşim de uzun yıllar integretif tıp alanında buralarda çalışmalarda bulundu. Hem Amerika'dan hem Rusya'dan Türkiye'ye baktığımızda, Türk insanının mutluluk yaşlarında emekli çağlarında hastane kapılarında olduğunu gördük.
Ülkemizin sağlık harcamalarının çok yüksek seviyelere çıktığını gördük. Önce kendimiz, ailemiz, çevremize baktığımızda hastane kapılarında vaktimizi geçirdiğimizi gördük. Bu Amerika'da böyle değildi, Avrupa'da hiç değildi. Yaptığımız çalışmalarda Avrupa'da, Amerika'da ve Rusya'da integretif tıp diye bir modelin ortaya konulduğunu gördük. İntegratif tıp, yani bütünsel tıp.
Bugünkü modern tıp denilen Ortodoks tıbbın engin tecrübelerini kabul ediyoruz, bunun yanında bitkilerin, renklerin, taşların, kokuların, aroma terapi, fitoterapi, çamur terapisi, inanç terapi, nokta masaj tedavisi gibi pek çok yan dalların şifasını da ortaya koyuyoruz. Bu eksikliği gördük ve Türkiye'de uygulamaya karar verdik. Türkiye'de doktorlar var, hastaneler ve ilaçlar var. Geldiğimizde bir çalışma yaptık. Konuşmaya başladık. 149 canlı yayın yaptık. Tüm bu bilgileri toplumla paylaştım ve yüzde 48'lere varan reytingler aldım. Ulusal ve uluslar arası kanallarda bu bilgileri paylaştım. Ben Avrupa'da daha çok etkiliyim. Hollanda Sağlık Vakfı Genel Başkanıyım...
Kainatın her yerinde hikmet var
Dünyanın her yerinde ve ülkemizde 308 canlı konferans verdim. Konuştuk, ardından kitaplar yazdık... Şifalı bitkiler kitabı. Bu ülkede şifalı bitkiler kitabı yok muydu? Vardı... Bizden önce 120'ye yakın şifalı bitkiler kitabı vardı ülkemizde. Ama bizim kitabımıza dikkat ederseniz, kozmik bilim ışığında şifalı bitkiler yazmaktadır. Kozmik bilim nedir? Kozmozda olan her şey, havanın da, suyun da, güneşin de, ayın da, inanç yapımızla ters düşmeyen bir yapıyı ortaya koymaya çalıştık.
Allah'ın yarattığı her şeyde bir hayır vardır, hikmet vardır prensibinden hareket ettiniz?
Kesinlikle... Zaten, "kozmik bilim", "kozmos" demek Allah'ın yarattığı her şeydir. Taşlardan renklere, kokulardan sulara, güneşin ayın hareketine, hilalinden dolunayına... Ayette ne buyuruluyor: "Ayın hareketinden ibret almaz mısınız?" Biz ibret aldık... Ay ne yapar? Suları çekip, iter... Bedenimizde de vardır, bu. Suları çekip ittiği için ay, bu günlerde biz de bedenimizle ilgili çalışmalar yapabiliriz. Ne günlerdir bu günler?
Peygamber Efendimizin (sav) 13, 14, 15 gün oruçları vardır biliyorsunuz. Efendimiz der ki, "Siz bir gün önce, bir gün sonra da tutun" Bütün kavimler bunu tutmuştur... Kozmik beden temizliği dediğimiz, on yaş gençleşme dediğimiz, kötü pisliklerin bedenden ayın çekim gücüyle atıldığı bir terapiyi getirdik. Dört yıldır ülkemizde yaptırıyoruz. Şifalı bitkiler kitabı da işte böyle bir düşünceden çıktı. Biz Türkiye'de 450'ye yakın bitkiyi aldık. Hastalıklara nasıl tedavide yardımcı olunur? Şifalı bitkiler sadece tedavi amacıyla kullanılmaz. Nedir? Modern tıbbın ışığı altında.... Türkiye'de hasta tedavi etmek, ilgili tababet kanunu gereği hekimlere aittir. Biz, önerilerimizle insanlara hekimlerin görüşleri doğrultusunda, bitkinin, suyun, taşın, termalin bir araştırma yaparak, toplumsal bilinç sahibi bir vatandaş olarak ortaya koymaya çalışıyoruz.
Siz modern tıbba ve toplumun bilinçlenmesine yardımcı olacak enstrümanları ortaya koyuyorsunuz?
Evet... Allah'ın ilk emri okudur... Biz insanların okuması için bu kitapları yazıyoruz. İlk kitabım yaşam enerjisidir. Şifalı bitkiler, masajla tedavi kitabı, noktalarla tedavi kitabı, şifalı yemekler kitabı, yaşam enerjisi kitabından çıkmıştır. Daha sıra da şifalı taşlar, sağlıklı düşünme kitabı var. Bu sekiz kitapla serimizi tamamlamış olacağız. Konuştuk, yazdık yetmedi....
Şifalı bitkileri kim nerden bulacak? Nasıl toplayacak? Nerede kurutmuş? Nerede muhafaza etmiş? Her bitki için... Sonra nerede mamül hale getirmiş? Kapsül yapılıp jelatini ne? Domuz mu? Jelatininde istenmeyen şeyler var mı? Maranki ve Kozmik bilim ekibi bunu da düşünmüş, kendi ürünlerini yaparken, bütün bunların ürünlerini ortaya koymuş. Binlerce dönüm organik araziler tutmuş. Burdur'da, Alanya'da, Yozgat Çekerek'de binlerce dönüm arazide bu ürünleri yetiştirmiş, buralarda ehil insanlarca toplanıp kurutulmuş ve ilaç fabrikalarında bunları drog, tablet ve kapsül hale getirmiş. Bütün bunlar bu ülkede Cumhuriyet kurulduğundan beri yapılan ilk uygulamalardır. Peki piyasada droglar yok mu? Var, ama hepsi de yabancıların.
Bir takım güçler, tröstler hayırlı işleri engelliyor
Biz Kur'an ve sünnetullah'da bildirilmeyen hiçbir metodu halkımızla paylaşmıyoruz. Bizim programımızı Yaratıcı hazırlamış. Yaratıcı bizim emrimize kozmozu, kainatı vermiş. Benim, 26 tane bitkisel drogum var, bunun 20 tanesi Kur'an'da ve Sünnetullah'da geçen bitkilerdir. Efendimizin bizzat tavsiye ettiği üründür. Mesela, kapari.... Dünyada adı yoktur bunun. İlk defa biz ürettik. Gebere otudur. Anadolu'da üretilen bir bitkidir. Tarlalarda kenara köşeye atılan bir bitkidir. 40 sene kadar önce yabancılar bunu alıp Fransa ve İspanya'da, aynı ekolojik bölgede olduğumuz için yetiştiriyorlar.
Şu an bu ülkeler 20 milyar dolar gelir elde ediyorlar. Kanser hastalıklarında kan temizleyici, bir yardımcı preparat olarak kullanılması için, tarım bakanlığından ruhsatlandırdık, ama çok acı bir şey, bir yıl sonra bize kapari hapınız yasaklanmıştır diye bize bir yazı geldi, tarım bakanlığından. Şu an süreç devam ediyor.
Kontrol genel müdürlüğünden sorumlu Prof. Dr. Nevzat Arık'ın master tezi, kapari bitkisi üzerinedir. Ama bugünkü yönetim, bir rapor gereği bu bitkiyi yasaklayabilmiştir, ama bu süreçler aşılacaktır. Avrupa Birliği sürecinde artık Avrupa Gıda Kodeksi dikkate alınacaktır. Benim tek temennim şudur: Ben Kastamonu İnebolu'luyum, benim İnebolulu vatandaşım da, Şemdinli'deki vatandaşım da Almanya'daki insan gibi yaşasın. Onun gibi kanuni haklara sahip olsun. Ülkemizdeki bir takım güçler, holdingler ve tröstler, bu ülkenin faydasına olabilecek şeyleri engelleme erkinde görüyorlar kendilerini. Bunu çözecek tek şey eğitimdir, yasama yürütme yargıdır. Biz bundaki eksiklikleri Avrupa Birliği'ndeki kanun ve mevzuatlarla aşabileceğimiz kanaatindeyim.
Şifalı Bitkiler kitabımız işte bu aksaklıkları gördüğümüz için ortaya çıktı. Şifalı Bitkiler kitabında sadece bitkiler yok, hastalıklara önerilen yardımcı preparatlar var. Artı genetiği değiştirilmiş bitkiler ve hibrit tohumlarla ilgili bilgiler de var.
Biz de oraya gelmek istiyorduk. Gündemdeki GDO tartışmalarını nasıl değerlendiriyorsunuz?
Geni değiştirilmiş ve hibrid (melezleştirilmiş) bitkilerle ilgili biz bundan iki sene önce çok önemli mesajlar vermiştik. Son günlerde GDO bombardımanı kopuyor. Ben çok mutluyum. Biz üç sene önce, Avrupa'daki patateslerinin Arjantin'den tozlarının getirilip cips yapıldığı, çocuklarımızın mahvedileceği, yediğimiz domateslerin kabuklarının kalınlaştırılıp domuz geniyle karıştırılıp kabuğunun sertleştirildiği gibi pek çok konuları gündeme getirdiğimizde, bize deli hükmünde bakmışlardı, şarlatan demişlerdi. Neslimiz yok oluyor, bu kadar ilaç tüketimi, 30 milyar dolarlar, her yıl üç-beş milyar dolarlık ilaç tüketimi artarken ve biz bunları gündeme getirirken, acaba bunların arkasında kim var demişlerdi. Bizim arkamızda Yaratıcı vardı, inanç değerlerimiz vardı, halkımız vardı.
Bu kaygıyla bunları söylemiştik. Artı, bunları söylemememiz için bizlere binlerce dolarlık teklifler de yapıldı. Biz bir taş attık... Biz tütün eksperiyiz, endüstri mühendisiyiz, siyaset profesörüyüz. Ülkemizin geleceği elden gidiyor, ey ehiller, ey profesörler, ey iktidar sahipleri, sosyal dernekler, gönüllü teşekküller diye feryat ettik. Şimdi attığımız taşı çıkarmak için uğraşan binlerce uzmanı görüyoruz. Hatta hekimlerimiz bile artık ot uzmanı kesildi. Ben buradan Onkoloji vakfından Erkan Topuz Hoca'ma, Ender Saraç'a, İbrahim Saraçoğlu'na bu konuları gündeme taşıdıkları için şükranlarımı sunuyorum.
Türkiye şifalı bitki zenginidir
Türkiye'nin bitki florasını en iyi bilen insanlardansınız. Şifalı bitkiler floramız hangi kategoridedir?
Ben Türkiye'nin her tarafında konferanslar verdim. Mardin'in Dargeçiti'ne ilk defa ben gittim. Eğitim Bir Sen'in düzenlediği bir konferansa katıldım. Kimsenin Türkçe bilmediği burada verdiğim konferanstan aldığım lezzeti, başka yerlerden almamışımdır. Ülkemiz şifalı bitkiler açısından en zengin, tesbit edilebilen 9 bin 600 endemik bitkiye sahiptir. Çok araştırıldığında bu sayı, 15 bine bile çıkabilir. Sadece benim şehrim Kastamonu'da dünyada olmayan 3 tane bitki var.
Rahmetli Hüseyin Uçar hocamız vardı, bunlar Türkiye'de botanik biliminin kitaplarının hazırlanmasına sebep olmuşlardır. Hüseyin Hoca, hangi rakımda hangi bitkinin olduğunu çok iyi bilirdi. Ülkemiz, maalesef, dağlarımızda tonlarca alıç, kalp damar hastalıklarının ilacı olarak bilinir, ahlatlar, armutlar, binlerce karabaş otu, tarlalarda duruyor. Deve dikenleri etrafımızı tırmalıyor. Deve dikenlerinin dünyada orijinal isimleri var. 10 gramı, 50-60 euroya satılıyor. Deve Dikenleri tarlalarda duruyor. Bütün bunları topluyoruz şimdi....
Tokat'ta insanlara dağdaki alıçları toplayın getirin, alım merkezlerimizde kilosu 10 milyon liraya alıyoruz. Deve dikenlerini toplattırdık, hap yaptık Türkiye'de ilk defa. Deve Dikeni, karaciğerin tek ilacıdır. Sarı Kantaron, psikolojik hastalıklarda, depresyon hastalıklarında dünyada üzerinde araştırma yapılan en önemli bitkidir. Karabaş otu, Bamya Çiçeği, Zencefil, Isırgan, Sarımsak tableti, Kişniş, Yeşil Çay tabletleri yaptık.
Geçtiğimiz günlerde "çaylarda tehlike olabilir" dedik... Çayların üzerine azot gübre atılıyor, hava nemli olduğu için bu da çayların yaprağında bozukluklara sebep olabilir. Aman, gübrenizi toprağa atın dedik... Bunlar da olumsuz kimyasal etkiler yapabilir. Biz ülkemizi seviyoruz, bu ülke bir çay ülkesi. Karadeniz halkına da müjde diyorum. Bu ülkede yeşil çayın tabletini ilk biz yaptık, posasıyla birlikte. Biz Karadeniz halkımızı ve ülkemizi destekliyoruz.
Çayımızı içeceğiz, ama ne zaman? Yemeklerden bir saat sonra... İçine bir iki damla limon sıkılırsa daha faydalı olacağını düşünüyoruz. Yeşil Çay'ın dünyanın en güçlü antioksidanı olduğu Almanya'da yapılan araştırmalarda ortaya çıkmıştır. Bununla birlikte Ekinezya Çayı'nın tabletini yaptık. Ekinezya Çayı, bağışıklık sisteminin güçlendirilmesinin en önemli temel maddesidir. Bağışıklık sisteminin, domuz gribinin en etken maddesidir. Domuz gribi diye bir grip yoktur bana göre.. Grip, çok fonksiyonlu viral bir enfeksiyondur diye düşünüyorum. Ben hekim değilim. Ekinezya, zencefil ve bamya çiçeğiyle çocuklarınızı hastalanmadan yıllarca koruyabilirsiniz. Bununla birlikte çok sayıda şifalı bitkinin tabletini yaptık...
Ben aslında Eczacılık Fakültelerinde okutulan kitaplarda yer alan bilgileri sizinle paylaşıyorum. Ama bunları topluma anlatan bir birim yok. Üniversitedeki hocalar talebelere anlatıyor. Talebeler uzman olduktan sonra toplumla paylaşmıyor. Bununla kalmadık, saç bakım yağı da ürettik. Saçınız dökülüyorsa, ısırgan, sarımsak, çam yağı, buğday yağı, biberiye yağı. Bunları karıştırın ve bakın 15 gün sonra saçınız çıkıyor mu çıkmıyor mu? Hiçbir yan etkisi yoktur. Romatizma için hardal yağı, biberiye yağı, kekik yağı ürünlerimiz var.
Bütün bunlar dışında neler yapıyorsunuz?
Konuşuyoruz, yazıyoruz, şifalı bitkilerle ilgili tabletler üretiyoruz, bütün bunlardan sonra sempozyumlarımızda ruhsal ve bedensel arınma seansları gerçekleştiriyoruz. İnsanların sağlıklı yaşamasına bir çığır açıyoruz. Kainat eczanesinde insanın hastalanmaması için bütün bitkiler mevcuttur. Hastalandığınızda zaten doktorlar var... Sadece bitkilerle tedavi olmanız mümkün değil. Peygamber Efendimiz (sav), "Yüzük takın" demiş. Ama, hangi taşlı yüzüğü takacaksınız? Taş çok önemli...
Taşlarla ve kokularla tedavi
Taşlardan gelen enerji var, şifalar var. Ne zaman doğduğunuzun çok çok önemi vardır. Peygamber Efendimiz (sav), "Koku sürünün" demiştir. Neden binlerce çeşit bitkinin kendilerine ait kokuları var? Kokular bizim için... Hangi burçta, hangi şakranızın, hangi rengi kullanacağınız çok önemlidir. Elbiselerin rengi bile çok önemlidir. Sıbgatulllah.... Allah'ın boyası vardır... Moraliniz bozuksa morla boyanırsınız. Triotleriniz mavidir, kalbiniz yeşildir. Osmanlı 400 sene Darüşşifada yeşil odalarda su sesiyle kalp ve akciğer hastalıklarını tedavi etmiştir. Toprakla yedi renkle ilgiliyiz biz. Oturma odanızın rengi yeşil tonları olmalı, çalışma odanızın rengi mor olmalı.
Renkler aslında psikolojimizi yansıtır. Bir hanım başörtüsünü mor alıyorsa, moralinde bir sıkıntı vardır. Siyah alıyorsa, onda problem vardır. Siyah yoktur, karanlık bir renktir, bütün enerjileri çeker çünkü. Onun için biz laciverti, moru, lilayı öneriyoruz. Sınıfların rengi sarı bütün okullarda. Sarı ne rengi, mide rengi... Çocuklarımızın hepsi obez oluyor.
Bütün bunlar da yetmez hastalanmamak için, nokta ve masaj tedavisi de gerekir. Eşimin Rusya'daki ders kitaplarıdır bunlar. İnsanlar elleriyle diğer bölgelerine dokunarak kendilerini tedavi edebilecek. Kısırlıktan başağrısına, sigara bırakmadan pek çok hastalığa noktalarla tedavi etmek mümkün.
Refleksoloji bilimi bunun için var, Prolaktif Masaj bunun için var. Bunları dört beş sene önce konuşan hiç kimse yoktu. Uzmanlar yeni yeni bu konularda çalışmalar yapmaya başladılar. Masaj dedik, bizim masajlarımızın da çakması çıktı. Türkiye'ye yeni bir gündem getirdik. En önemli tedavi metodumuz, termal sular. Ülkemiz dünyanın en önemli termal merkezlerinden. İnşallah Afyon Gazlı Göl bölgesinde, kozmik yaşam sağlık merkezini kuracağız. İnsanlar bir hafta içinde bütün sıkıntılarından arınarak gidecekler.
Termal kültürü yok ediliyor
Denizli'de termal bölgesinde, Bursa termal bölgesinde, Samsun Kozaklı termal bölgesinde bu sağlık hizmetini insanlarımızın hizmetine sunmazsak, insanlarımızın hastane kapılarındaki çilesi bitmeyecektir. Eskiden ilaçlar yoktu, kaplıcalar vardı. Kaplıca kültürü yok ediliyor ülkemizde. Bu kültür, modernize edilmiş şekilde, hijyenik olarak Türk ve Anadolu insanının hizmetine muhakkak sunulmalıdır.
Biz bu kültürü yaşatmaya çalışıyoruz. Arınma kamplarımızı termal tesislerde gerçekleştiriyoruz. Küresel ısınma sebebiyle Akdeniz'de biten turizm potansiyelini artık yayla turizmine, termal turizme doğa turizmine kaydırmalıyız. Son olarak en önemli terapimiz, inanç terapimizdir. Biz Yaratıcı'nın emirlerine ters işler yaptığımızda hastalanırız. Hastalık, Allah (c.c)'ünü hatırladığımız en önemli sebep. Hastalık, Yaratıcı'nın bize şefkat tokatı. Sağlıklı günlerimizi anlamamızın bir değeri, ölçüsü. Dolayısıyla hastalıklardan korkmayacağız, ondaki mesajı anlamaya çalışacağız. Güzel insan olacağız, güzel göreceğiz, güzel düşüneceğiz, güzel yaşamaya çalışacağız.
İnşallah, hekimlerimizin kontrolünde sağlıklı yaşam merkezleri açarak, burada anlattığımız konularla ilgili ürünlerimizi sunacağız. Bir müjde daha vermek istiyorum: Türkiye'de bütün dünyada olduğu gibi kozmik centerler açacağız. Bu centerler da sağlıklı bitkilerimiz, droglarımız olacak. Keçi peynirimiz, lorlarımız, ahlatlarımız, meyve sularımız olacak. Bu dükkanları özellikle AVM'lerde Türk halkına hediye edeceğiz. Bir rahatsızlığınız mı var, hemen formüllere göre bitki sularınız hazırlanacak ve kendinizi zinde hissedeceksiniz. Bütün bunun modelini de bir ay içinde franchaising Cozmic Center olarak ortaya koyacağız. Bunlar bir ekonomik patlamaya sebep olacak.
Şu ana kadar 50'ye yakın kuruluş bize müracaat etti. Bir sonraki hedefimiz de termal merkezlerde arınma kamplarımızı kurmak. Sağlıklı yaşam için formüllerimizi ortaya koyuyoruz. Ürünlerimizle, bitkilerimizle, kitaplarımızla çok önemli bir yaşam tarzı ortaya koyuyoruz. İnsanlar bize www.maranki.com adresinden ulaşabilirler.

Renklerin Psikolojiye Etkisini Bilim Kabul Ediyor!

2010-07-17T03:10:00.000-07:00

Bilim adamları, giyimden gıdaya, tasarımdan dekorasyona her alanda belirleyici rol oynayan renklerin yaşam üzerindeki etkisini araştırdı. Bu araştırma Ahmet Maranki'yi bir kere daha doğruladı!
Stratejik araştırmalar uzmanı ünlü bilim adamı Ahmet Maranki'nin çalışmaları, bilim tarafından doğrulanıyor.
Ahmet Maranki'nin katıldığı televizyon programlarında ve konferanslarında sürekli dile getirdiği, kendi resmi web sitesinde açıkladığı üzere renklerin insan psikolojisindeki yeri bilimsel olarak teyit edildi.
Daha önce Uludağ Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Besin Hijyeni ve Teknolojisi Ana Bilim Dalı Başkanı Prof. Dr. Mustafa Tayar, AA muhabirine yaptığı açıklamada, meyve, sebze ve bitkilerin şekilleri ile faydalı oldukları organlar arasında bir benzerlik olduğunu açıklamış; yine İngiliz Sağlık Bakanlığı'nın, sağlıklı her 50 kişiden birinin radyasyona maruz kalarak kansere yakalandığı gerekçesiyle tomografiyi yasakladığı medyada yer almıştı.
Bu haberler Ahmet Maranki'nin yıllarca yapmış olduğu ve "Yaşam Enerjisi" kitabında yer verdiği bilimsel çalışmalarını teyit edici nitelikte haberler olup, bilimin Maranki'yi bir kez daha doğruladığının ispatıdır.
İşte yine Maranki'nin çalışmalarını doğrulayan ve Zaman Gazetesi'nde yayınlanan Anadolu Ajansı kaynaklı haberlerden biri...
"Huzur İçin Mavi, Güvensizliğe Karşı Yeşil
Renkler hayatımızın ayrılmaz parçası. Bilim adamları, giyimden gıdaya, tasarımdan dekorasyona her alanda belirleyici rol oynayan renklerin yaşam üzerindeki etkisini araştırdı.
Buna göre güvene karşı yeşili, iştaha karşı kırmızıyı öneren uzmanlar, siyahın tutku ve gücü, mavinin ise sakinliği yansıttığına dikkat çekiyor.
İş görüşmesine giderken ve çalışma hayatında renklerin uyumuna dikkat edilmesi gerektiğini belirten Selçuk Üniversitesi Öğretim Üyesi Yrd. Doç. Dr. Mete Sezgin, "Kıyafetiniz, kişiliğinize, statünüze, fiziğinize uygun olmalı. Kamu, finans, siyaset, hukuk gibi resmi sektörlere bayanlar genellikle lacivert, gri, bordo, haki, bej, vizon, kamel, erkekler ise kahverengi hariç koyu renkleri kullanabilir. Güven veren, ciddi görünen renkler tercih edilmeli" diyor.

Kırmızının iştah açtığını vurgulayan Sezgin'in verdiği bilgilere göre, dünyadaki gıda firmalarının hepsinin logosunda mutlaka bu renk var. Kırmızı aynı zamanda tansiyonu yükseltiyor, kan akışını hızlandırıyor. Yeşil, güven veriyor. O yüzden bankaların logolarında en çok tercih edilen iki renkten biri.
Batı'da büyük otellerin mutfaklarında duvarlar, aşçıların hayal gücünü artırmak için yeşile boyanıyor. Araştırmalar, yeşil alanlarda insanların daha az mide ağrısı çektiğini gösteriyor.
Siyah, gücü, tutkuyu ve hırsı temsil ediyor. Mavi, 'sakinlik' olarak nitelendiriliyor. Nazar boncuğu da o yüzden mavi taşlı.
Mor, nevrotik duyguları açığa çıkardığı, insanları bilinçaltında korkuttuğu tespit edilen bir renk. Pembe giyenlere, hizmetlerinden dolayı ödeme yaparken işverenin kendini daha rahat hissettiği de tespit edilen veriler arasında.
Sarı, geçiciliğin ve dikkat çekiciliğin ifadesi. Bu yüzden tüm dünyada taksiler sarı. Gri, diplomatik ve ağır bir renk. Aynı zamanda yavaşlığın ve ciddiyetin de sembolü. Beyaz da istikrarı ve temizliği simgelediği için gelinlik rengi olarak gelenekselleşmiş."

Depression in children (Dr Trisha Macnair) | Mental health

2010-05-17T15:03:00.000-07:00

Depression isn't just an adult state of mind - children suffer from the condition, too.

What is it?

Depression is an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness, sadness and lack of self-worth. Many people feel sad occasionally, but when someone is depressed, the sadness or feeling low are so extreme or persistent that they get in the way of normal activities.

What causes it?

The cause of depression isn't fully understood. Many factors can contribute, such as losing a loved one (or in children, a good friendship breaking up), illness, stress, family problems (for example, parents who are splitting up) and problems (such as bullying) at school. Some children are more resilient to difficulties than others, so that while some cope, others become depressed.

Genetics and family tendencies may partly explain why some people are more susceptible to depression. It may also explain why the levels of certain brain chemicals become abnormal in depression.

Who's affected?

In the early 1980s, many psychiatrists believed children were incapable of experiencing depression because they lacked the emotional maturity to feel despondent. However, most children feel down at times.

At least two per cent of children under 12 struggle with significant depression, and by teenage years this has risen to five per cent - that's at least one depressed child in every classroom.

More than half of the adults who develop depression say they can pinpoint early symptoms before the age of 20.

What are the symptoms?

There are many symptoms related to depression, which can make it difficult to spot. Common symptoms in children include:

* simply appearing unhappy much of the time
* headaches, stomach aches, tiredness and other vague physical complaints which appear to have no obvious cause
* spending a lot of time in bed but sleeping badly and waking early in the morning
* doing badly at school
* major changes in weight
* being unusually irritable, sulky or becoming quiet and introverted
* losing interest in favourite hobbies
* having poor self-esteem or recurrent feelings of worthlessness
* contemplating suicide

It's not always easy to spot depression in children, because they're less capable of expressing their feelings and often tend to react to their moods in a more physical way. So, while some children are clearly sad, withdrawn and tearful, others may become hyperactive troublesome bullies.

If you're worried about your child, especially if they've had symptoms for longer than three to four weeks, you should talk to your GP. Talk to your children's friends, too, to try to get a different perspective on their feelings.

If your child ever talks about suicide you should always take them seriously and get expert advice. Children's threats are often dismissed as being empty or no more than attention seeking. It's important to involve other family members and improve communication and support within the family.

Depression is poorly understood but some children are more at risk, particularly those who have a physical illness, have been abused, or come from a home where there is marital disharmony or family breakdown.

However, many simpler worries can also trigger an episode of depression, such as exam fears.

The mental health charity Rethink has advice tailored to some of these common causes of unhappiness.

How's it diagnosed & treated?

If you are worried that your child might be depressed, talk to your doctor. Diagnosis is usually based on the medical history and symptoms, so your doctor will need to talk to the child. Treatment consists of talking therapies (such as counselling or psychotherapy) and antidepressants. Simply talking about the problems to family and friends is often a major step towards recovery.

Although children might not find this easy at first, it's essential to help them understand why they became depressed, how they can deal with the underlying problems in their life, and how they can develop a more positive view of their world. This usually involves some sort of psychotherapy.

Like adults, children with depression can't just 'snap out of it' or 'pull themselves together'. It's a long-term problem with episodes of depression lasting, on average, eight months.

While the majority of depressed children are back to normal after a year or two, at least half are likely to become depressed again within a couple of years.

Children usually respond fairly quickly to treatment. Antidepressants are rarely needed but may be useful in some cases. Most children can be treated at home, or as a hospital outpatient, so rarely need to stay in hospital. If you're worried that your child might be suicidal, talk to your doctor immediately - and try talking to your child too.
