.... efficent. The right brain controls the left side of the body and leans more to the creative, the intuitive. It is concerned more with the visual and emotional side of life. Most people, if they thought about it, would identify more with their left brain. In fact, many of us think we are our left brains. All of that non- stop verbalization that goes on in our heads is the dominant left brain talking to itself. Our culture- particularly our school system with its emphasis on the three Rs (decidedly left-brain territory) - effectively represses the intuitive and arti .....

.... mentally practice their events on the eve of competition.

.... aspects of medicine and health care. The U.S. Public Health Service estimates that in 1993, the lifetime cost of treating a person with AIDS from infection to death is approximately $119,000. Outpatient care, including medication, visits to doctors, home health aids, and long-term care, accounted for approximately 32 percent of the total cost. Persons exposed to HIV may have difficulty in obtaining adequate health-insurance coverage. Yearly AZT expenses can average approximately $6,000, although in 1989 the drug's maker did offer to distribute AZT freely to HIV- infected chi .....

.... has gone away. Prescribed drugs should be taken until all the medicine is gone so the disease is completely finished. If it is not, then this will just give the bacteria some time to find a way to avoid the effects of the drug. One antibiotic that will always have a long lasting effect in history is penicillin. This was the first antibiotic ever to be discovered. Alexander Fleming was the person responsible for the discovery in 1928. In his laboratory, he noticed that in some of his bacteria colonies, that he was growing, were some clear spots. He realized that somet .....

.... get fed up with all the side-effects caused by the practice of FGM. It is every person and community's right to decide for themselves, without the intervention of outsiders, to decide to do whatever they want to do to their bodies and minds. I know, "these women that are being circumcised, aren't freely deciding on this to be done to them, they don't know any better, they've been brainwashed". I have two responses to this. The first is, if they have grown up in this culture all their lives, and this procedure has been done to their mothers, sisters, great grandmothers .....

.... Jesus Christ's healing of the sick. Christian Science healing comes through scientific prayer, or spiritual communion with God. Prayer is used to recognize “a patient's direct access to God's love through the consistent operation of God's law of health and wholeness on his behalf.

A transformation or spiritualization of a patient's thoughts changes his condition” (Science and Health, p. 194:6). Christian Scientists beli .....

.... for the woman who wants to stop child bearing completely. And a contraceptive that works well for someone who has sexual intercourse only occasionally may not be sufficiently effective for those who have sex often. Various methods of contraception are available in the United States today, including condoms for men and women, spermicidal foams, gels, vaginal films including the diaphragm and cervical caps, the Pill, IUD’s and even awareness methods that rely on periodic abstinence. There are injections that last for 3 months and implants that last 5 years. There are even typ .....

.... or More Figure(s). The infant is now three to six months. The baby is now starting to focus his/her attachment on the primary caregiver. The infant is starting to smile at the caregiver more than he/she would a stranger. This is not a full-blown attachment. The baby does not feel a sense of security. Phase 3 is called the Secure Base Behavior. Bowlby thought that at the age of six months, the baby forms a pure attachment. They now feel safe. At the age of seven months the baby will start to experience stranger and separation anxiety. This will not go away until the bab .....
