I'm learning more about insomnia and in particular what I'm wondering about is, Are there easy cures for insomnia? I was researching this question online and this blog post caught my attention because it was the only one I could find. "That said, some people drink some nice chamomile tea a little while before they go to bed or take valerian root or melatonin tablets. And there are non-narcotic over-the-counter sleeping aids. " The quote I chose here is basically saying that you should drink tea before they sleep or get some sleeping pills. I think this is informative somewhat because it makes me wonder if there are any other good cures. I also wonder if the sleeping pills or the tea will work. I might have to try that someday.

"They include cures for allergies (including pet, food and environmental), sinus infections, acne, high cholesterol, flu, chronic fatigue, candida, acid reflux, sore throats, contact dermatitis, arthritis, and gout. One reader reported that a shot of ACV saved him from going to the emergency room for heart pain. Apple Cider Vinegar also breaks down fat and is widely used to lose weight. It has also been reported that a daily dose of apple cider vinegar in water has high blood pressure under control in two weeks!"

There is currently no cure. The disease is caused by gene mutations that disrupt production of the protein prelamin A, found inside the nuclei of cells. The damaged prelamin A binds to molecular fragments in the body called farnesyls, which then bind to the nuclear membrane, causing the build-up of protein that underlies the disease. The quote basically says that the disease had no cure yet and it is caused by gens mutation. It also says how but i don't fully understand it.

I'm learning more about dissociative identity disorder or DID also known as multiple personality disorder or MPD right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what causes DID and is there a was cure this disorder. I was researching this question online, and this news item caught my attention because the article had a lot of information about the dis order and it was an interesting article. Treatment may vary, but the general consensus involves steps of psychotherapy. Firstly, the therapist should foster an attitude of respect of each personality for each other. Secondly, a therapist should establish meaningful conversation with as many personalities as possible without siding with any one of them. Lastly, the therapist should help the personalities to merge together to become one complete integrated personality (Howe, 1984). Dissociative identity disorder does not cure itself, thus treatment is extremely important. The quote I chose here is basically saying how a therapist should start treatment with a DID patient. The steps of each treatment and also that DID doesn't cure itself and it needs treatment.

I'm learning about Medicine right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about it what is Medicine all about? I was searching this question Online, and there is this quote that is very interesting. The quote is "But my years in the trenches of real medicine have altered that definition greatly. I do spend time doing the things I learned in medical school like diagnosing disease and writing prescriptions, but that turns out to be only a part of the job, often a very small part. Much of the time I find myself acting as sounding board. Recently I saw one my regular patients, a woman whose main medical issue is hypertension. But for most of our visit she spoke, often tearfully, of the strain of raising grandchildren since her daughter died of HIV. We never really got to her hypertension, and I certainly didn't have any easy answers for her difficult life situation, but this seemed to be the only time and place that she could devote to her own issues".I feel that Medicine is very important to cure others.

I'm learning more about dreams right now and in particular what I'm wondering about is why do we have nightmares. I was researching this question online and this blog post caught my attention because this blog has all the answers to my question. "Stress is another factor, which triggers nightmares. When a person is in extreme stress, he/she may get nightmares. In scientific terms, it is a way to release all the stress." The quote I chose here is basically saying that stress is one cause to having nightmares. And when you have the nightmare, its a way to get rid of all the stress you have. I think thats true because I remember me having a couple of nightmares before and what I was dreaming about was about what I was stressing about. I was very stressed about the SAT and I was dreaming about the SAT. It wasnt such a good dream.

Dear Ana I like you post. Nighmares are really wired. But it's so true when you said that "when a person is in extreme stress, he/she may get nightmares. In scientific terms, it is a way to release all the stress. " I agree with you and your quote that stressing is what cause you nighmares. Nice Post!
