All your life you thought something was wrong with you. You were uncomfortable around noise. No one understood your need to be alone. You seemed to know things without being told. The good news is that you are not dysfunctional. You are a highly sensitive person (HSP). You are not the only one; you share this trait with at least 20% of the population who are referred to as shy or touchy.
Highly Sensitive People typically set very high standards for themselves and for the world around them. However, sometimes these standards come from an intense desire to please others or to meet the demands of some unwritten set of expectations. At other times, in our desire to fit in or to make lives easier for ourselves or the people close to us, we make do with behavior that is less than what we are comfortable with.
Empathic people do have observable traits that are easily identified. Interestingly, the traits are a set of characteristics that have always had their own air of mystery. I'm referring to a set of psychological traits that has never been adequately explained before. These characteristics are commonly referred to as emotional sensitivity.
Dr. Monica Moreno offers alternative healthcare services to children, adolescents and women in Miami, Florida. I found her unique practice of combining homeopathic medicine with acupuncture and colortherapy intriguing and was pleased when she agreed to an interview to be published in our publication's first issue. Her background is extensive and her heart is generous.

Dark night of the soul, spiritual crisis, spiritual madness, spiritual emergency, divine madness, holy madness... these are various phrases that have been used to describe a unique experience - a profound test of faith and spiritual endurance - that seems to be a necessary part of walking the path home to God. You cannot find the Light unless you enter the darkness.

Vaccination is a term coined by Edward Jenner for the process of administering live, albeit weakened, microbes to patients, with the intent of conferring immunity against a targeted form of a related disease agent. Vaccination (Latin: vacca—cow) is so named because the first vaccine was derived from a virus affecting cows: the cowpox virus, a relatively benign virus that, in its weakened form, provides a degree of immunity to smallpox, a contagious and deadly disease. In common speech, 'vaccination' and 'immunization' general ...
Amiloride is an antihypertensive, a potassium-sparing diuretic that was first approved for use in 1967 and helps to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure.
Amiloride works by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts in the kidneys. This promotes the loss of sodium and water from the body, but without depleting potassium. The drug is often used in conjunction with thiazide or loop diuretics. Due to its potassium-sparing capacities, hyperkalemia (high blood potassium lev ...
D-dimer is a blood test performed in the medical laboratory to diagnose thrombosis. Since its introduction in the 1990s, it has become an important test performed in patients suspected of thrombotic disorders. While a negative result practically rules out thrombosis, a positive result can indicate thrombosis but also has other potential causes. Its main use, therefore, in to exclude thromboembolic disease where the probability is low.
D-dimer - Indications.
D-dimer testing is of clinical use when there is a ...
In mathematics and physics, chaos theory deals with the behavior of certain nonlinear dynamic systems that under certain conditions exhibit a phenomenon known as chaos, which is characterised by a sensitivity to initial conditions (see butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, the behavior of systems that exhibit chaos appears to be random, even though the model of the system is determ ...
Irritation, in biology and physiology, is a state of over-excitation or hyper-reactivity. A stimulus or agent which induces the state of irritation is an irritant. Irritants are typically thought of as chemical agents (for example phenol and capsaicin) but mechanical, thermal (heat) and radiative stimuli (for example ultraviolet light or ionising radiations) can also cause irritation.
Irritation - Irritation in Organisms.
In higher organisms the allergic response may be cause of irrita ...
Risk is the potential harm that may arise from some present process or from some future event. In everyday usage, "risk" is often used synonymously with "probability", but in professional risk assessments, risk combines the probability of a negative event occurring with how harmful that event would be.
Thus in many engineering applications (see 2.1 below)
Risk = probability of an accident/'event' (eg events per year) times its consequence (eg lost money, ... or deaths, per event).
Risk - Formal ...
Any explosive material has the following characteristics:
It is chemically or otherwise energetically unstable.
The initiation produces a sudden expansion of the material accompanied by the production of heat and large changes in pressure (and typically also a flash or loud noise) which is called the explosion.
Explosive material - Chemical explosives.
Explosives are classified as low or high explosives according to their rates of decomposition. Low explosives burn rapidly (or d ...
