1983

AIDS reported among female partners of men suggesting it is passed via heterosexual sex. In May, Pasteur Institute in France reported discovery of new retrovirus called Lymphadenopathy-Associated Virus (LAV) that could cause AIDS.

Chiropractic

: Daniel David Palmer's theory that anything that is wrong with a person is due to a "misplaced spinal bone." They do a lot of manipulative therapy like massaging, pushing on back, stretching, etc. The issue is that there is no science behind this. The idea is that back misalignment keeps "positive nerve energy" from traveling. Based on a theory, with no measurable base. In most states, insurance will cover this. They cannot prescribe drugs but they will give you lists of vitamins and supplements to buy (can get expensive). In addition, you need more than one session, which is costly, as the person needs x-rays, etc. before they realign the back.

Choking

: most common are food, small objects like marbles (kids) dangerous foods- large meat (steak or hotdogs), cubes of cheese, seeds, raw veggies, peanut butter sandwiches, hard candy *Prevention: clean house of small objects like coins, staples, button, bottle caps, (anything a kid can eat), cut food in small pieces, chew thoroughly, don't rush when eating, drink water, know Heimlich maneuver

Acupuncture/acupressure

The idea of putting needles or knuckles (acupressure) on center areas of the body called "meridians." Each meridian in the body corresponds to a specific body part. Basis in ancient Chinese culture. The needles and pressure help release "Qi," or 'life-force', which flows through the body and helps with all things. Problem is that this cannot measure. Can also be done for stress related disorders like migraines, and has been so successful that the US government is studying this to find proof to demonstrate this is effective. Insurance will cover this. These are ancillary; people see acupuncture and chiropractor after a doctor. They try to sell sets of three, and give vials of herbs, which supposedly increases the success of their methods.

Poisoning

besides drugs, food bacteria, household products, *Prevention: take medicines how intended, keep meds in original containers with instructions, secure household products, never mix products like bleach/ammonia, do not tell kids medicine is candy, use fan or open windows when using household chemicals to clean, have a carbon monoxide sensor, have anything fueling with gas, oil or coal burning, like heater or coal burning appliances checked yearly, never use anything in house that burns gas or charcoal (grill, camp stove, generator),don't heat house with a gas oven, keep everything beyond 25 feet from windows, never run a car inside a closed garage even if window is open, make sure fireplace is vented, CO kills by lowering ability to get oxygen to the blood starving the cells organs 'hypoxia'- can kill in minutes

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

emphysema and chronic bronchitis; SOB+ Constant Cough, Supplemental O2

Reiki:

energy healing based on the idea "life force energy" flows through everyone's body. According to this philosophy, sickness and stress are indications that life force energy is low, while energy, health, and happiness signify a strong life force. In a Reiki session, a practitioner seeks to "transfer" life energy to the client by placing their hands lightly on the client's body or a slight distance away from the body (Reiki can also be performed long-distance). The purpose is to promote relaxation, speed healing, reduce pain, and generally improve the client's wellbeing

Prevention

engineering, education, enforcement (laws/police) *3th most common cause of death in America: over 200K per year (one every three minutes) *Up 10% since 2015 (due to drug overdose/47,000 just for opioid deaths

Fire

most common is cooking, then electrical, candles, smoking in bed *Prevention: smoke alarms (check monthly), fire extinguishers (check every six months), escape plan, clean dryers and chimneys, kitchen cooking areas, don't smoke in bed, blow out candles especially for sleep and when leaving a room, do not overload circuits (plug outlets), keep heaters away from curtains or anything that can burn, no trash like paper products that can ignite easily, dust regularly, no cords under rugs (UL seal for cords) or close to curtains, high traffic areas free from obstruction in case you must get out fast; keep copies of important papers somewhere easy to get or out of house if there is a fire (prescriptions, medical information/pet information, keys, money), stop-drop-roll, childproof outlets

Drain System For storm water

on top of the landfill from rain so it doesn't get into the inside

Most common product by in landfill- by weight

paper and by size = plastic

Massage Therapy-

popular, but has conflicting data. Can relieve stress in patients, but the effects will not last. The sessions are also expensive. It has proven that the results are great short term, especially in those terminally ill. Different types have different focuses, pressures, etc. 45 states in the US regulate massage therapists to avoid any frauds.

Homeopathy

principle of treating "like with like," meaning a substance that causes illness when taken in large doses can be used in small amounts and treat those same symptoms. (This concept is similar to allergy shots). Homeopaths gather extensive background information on patients before prescribing a highly diluted substance, usually in liquid or tablet form, to jumpstart the body's natural systems of healing. There is some clinical evidence that homeopathy is effective

For the purposes of collecting statistics, the FBI has defined a hate crime as a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity. *80% of (all hate crimes total) against a person/people and 20% of all hate crimes against property

Stem Cell

undifferentiated (random) cells that can unlimitedly divide and could end as specialized cells. Due to the unlimited division, stem cells have a higher risk for cancer

Murder

unjustified killing/intent. To be a murder, conduct so reckless that it is punishable. 'malice aforethought'- FIRST DEGREE = planning, SECOND DEGREE = intent to kill but no careful planning passion (get angry and kills) FELONY = murder while doing a crime (rob house but owner comes home so kill owner)

Manslaughter

unlawful killing of someone without malice' less moral blame than planning murder; types *Voluntary manslaughter- killing when extreme provocation, heat of passion, mental issue *Felony/involuntary manslaughter- Crime with death but unintentional (throwing brick off overpass and killing a driver) parent *'Misdemeanor manslaughter'- homicide during misdemeanor (theft, vandalism, traffic ticket)

Keep Clean

whatever seeps into the landfill and is contaminated

CHD (coronary heart disease)

when hardening of arteries occur in a coronary 'heart' artery (directly related to heart); causes heart attack *When Coronary arteries do not get proper blood flow, then it weakens the heart muscle 'ischemia' *When artery is totally blocked that is a heart attack 'myocardial infarction'; can be caused by clot 'thrombosis' or broken piece of plaque; if heart muscle is devoid of oxygen then it begins to die

Cells

where trash is stored in layers and compacted daily; packed solid with lining between each level
