Di toko makanan kesehatan, pelanggan mengeluh tentang alergi makanan lebih sering sekarang dengan pernyataan seperti, "Saya tidak bisa makan ini", atau "Saya tidak bisa makan." Mengapa begitu banyak orang, terutama mereka yang toko makanan kesehatan sering, percaya bahwa mereka memiliki alergi makanan? Ini lucu, saya tidak pernah mendengar seseorang berkata, "Saya alergi terhadap kopi, kue, kue, popcorn, pizza atau permen", namun ini adalah makanan sehat dan diet hal yang orang menelan teratur tanpa berpikir dua kali. Jadi, ada apa dengan semua pembeli toko makanan kesehatan ini yang memiliki alergi makanan?
Alergi makanan terjadi ketika sistem kekebalan tubuh bereaksi berlebihan terhadap molekul protein dalam makanan menyinggung. Hal ini dapat terjadi bahkan dengan mereka yang menempel makanan dari toko makanan kesehatan. Tubuh tidak mampu untuk memecah molekul protein tertentu, sehingga bereaksi dengan mencoba untuk "menyingkirkan". Ini menghasilkan zat kimia yang disebut 'histamin' dan gejala muncul dalam bentuk ruam, gatal-gatal, gatal, mengi, masalah pernapasan, dan banyak lendir yang dikeluarkan melalui mulut, hidung, telinga, paru-paru, atau organ seksual. Reaksi yang lebih serius dari alergi makanan adalah: muntah, diare, kehilangan kesadaran, tekanan darah turun, atau bahkan kematian.
Intoleransi terhadap makanan tertentu berbeda dari alergi makanan yang benar, dan ini adalah keluhan yang lebih umum di toko makanan kesehatan. Dengan intoleransi makanan seperti intoleransi laktosa, di mana seseorang mengalami kesulitan mogok gula dalam susu, gejala lebih ringan. Seseorang mungkin memiliki beberapa kembung, gas berlebih, kram atau diare. Sedangkan intoleransi makanan tidak menyenangkan, tidak mengancam kehidupan seperti alergi makanan bisa dalam beberapa kasus yang parah. Para kesesakan biasa adalah intoleransi terhadap gandum, kedelai, susu dan apa pun di toko makanan kesehatan yang pembelanja terasa terlalu mahal.
Pertanyaan yang pelanggan di toko makanan kesehatan harus bertanya tidak, "Apa makanan aku alergi?" Melainkan, "Mengapa sistem kekebalan tubuh saya bereaksi terhadap apa yang harus menjadi makanan kesehatan?"
Ketika menentukan alergi makanan tertentu dan intoleransi, beberapa faktor yang perlu dipertimbangkan adalah:
1. Apa pemicu makanan?
2. Kapan aku makan makanan pemicu?
3. Apakah aku benar menggabungkan buah-buahan dan sayuran atau biji-bijian atau daging dan susu?
Daftar ini bisa sangat melelahkan untuk memburu menyinggung pemicu makanan dan bagaimana itu sedang dikonsumsi. Bahkan, sebagian besar ahli alergi makanan akan memberitahu Anda untuk membuat catatan dari segala sesuatu yang Anda makan, dan ketika Anda menemukan pemicu makanan untuk hanya menghindari makan itu. Yah, kedengarannya sederhana, tetapi jika Anda bereaksi terhadap banyak hal, termasuk yang harus menjadi makanan kesehatan, itu tidak begitu sederhana? Tentu saja, Anda dapat menghilangkan pemicu paling umum untuk alergi makanan seperti: jagung, gandum, telur, susu, dan kacang tanah, tetapi jika itu tidak berhasil, lalu apa? Yang benar adalah, sistem kekebalan tubuh dapat bereaksi berlebihan terhadap berbagai zat. Cara terbaik untuk mengatasi alergi makanan adalah untuk memperkuat sistem kekebalan tubuh Anda dan mendapatkan keseimbangan dengan semua sistem tubuh. Toko makanan kesehatan toko untuk makanan tertentu untuk memberi makan 5 sistem utama Anda sama: kekebalan tubuh, endokrin, pencernaan, peredaran darah dan pernapasan. Hal ini mungkin sulit di toko makanan kesehatan yang khas, tetapi mencari online akan menghasilkan hasil.
Ketika Anda makan semua bagian tubuh Anda dengan sehat, utuh nutrisi makanan, dan menghilangkan palsu, makanan olahan dalam hidup Anda, 5 sistem Anda bisa datang ke keseimbangan sempurna alami. Kemudian Anda dapat makan apa yang Anda tahu bahwa Anda harus makan. Lebih baik untuk memperkuat sistem tubuh dengan gabungan benar makanan kesehatan dan menangkal penyakit dan penyakit dengan cara alami. Ketika Anda mengkonsumsi nutrisi yang tepat, tubuh beroperasi pada tingkat optimal untuk lebih santai, hidup sehat. Anda memiliki akses ke nutrisi begitu banyak baik di toko makanan kesehatan dan banyak pilihan untuk menghindari alergi makanan atau intoleransi yang memalukan untuk membatasi pilihan Anda tidak perlu.
Cliff Smith adalah pemilik sebuah toko makanan kesehatan secara online yang mengkhususkan diri dalam dikombinasikan dengan benar, formula makanan secara keseluruhan terkonsentrasi yang menyehatkan, membersihkan dan keseimbangan tubuh. Banyak pelanggan telah mengatasi alergi makanan dan intoleransi mereka dengan makanan kesehatan yang tidak dijual di toko ritel khas. Pengunjung ke toko online didorong untuk mengikuti tes bebas basa makanan, permintaan katalog, sampel produk, dan menemukan fakta gizi lebih.

NAD & Deaf's Public Health Concerns
VIDEO: National Association of the Deaf and Deaf's public health concerns in American Sign Language.
While watching National Association of the Deaf's recent vlog found here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSkoNrtNxwo announcing their latest projects, Deaf community noticed practically all NAD leaders and officers are overweight or out of shape.
Is it a concern? Yes.
Is it reflective of health issues as a Deaf Community? Unfortunately also yes as health crisis is highly prevalent within the Deaf community.
NAD should add initiatives in creating task force to raise our socioeconomic status, utilize several social constructs such as self-efficacy, social cognitive, and self determination theories in developing creative solutions towards healthier behaviors, create task force to address poor health status within our community, AND take personal accountability as leaders in setting examples for others by getting healthier themselves.

Cute Deaf Puppy Dumped On Busy Highway
VIDEO: Hundreds calling with adoption questions on Deaf puppy dumped near Portage County highway.
AKRON, Ohio - An estimated 800 people have called One of a Kind Pets Rescue to inquire about a Deaf puppy that was left inside a cardboard box near a highway last month.
"Everybody wants to meet this puppy that has gotten so much exposure," said Georjette Thomas from One of a Kind.
The puppy, a 9-week-old Jack Russell terrier mix named Cara, was found in a shoebox on the side of Tallmadge Road in Brimfield Township on Jan 12.
She had a hairline fracture in a front leg and open wounds. Animal experts determined the puppy was Deaf after she didn't respond to commands.

"To think that this puppy was disposable by somebody or to somebody is unfathomable to us," Thomas said.
Since news spread that Cara is available for adoption, One of a Kind has been flooded with calls and visitors.
Many people have already filled out adoption papers and dozens more are expected. ... Read more: http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/akron_canton_news/hundreds-calling-with-adoption-quesions-on-deaf-puppy-dumped-near-portage-county-highway
Deaf puppy left in shoebox on Brimfield highway up for adoption.
BRIMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio - The Deaf Jack Russell terrier dumped in a box on the side of Tallmadge Road last month is ready to go to a real home.
Police Chief David Oliver is still looking for the person who abandoned the disabled dog on the side of a busy highway.
The pup, named "Cara," is now available for adoption at One of a Kind Pets in Akron.
"Cara is still a little peanut, but she appears to have doubled her size," says a story on petfinder.com. "She is Deaf and does very well mimicking the other dogs in her foster home. She follows the pack."
A motorist spotted the pooch and brought the dog to the police station. Oliver posted a picture on the department's Facebook page, where it has generated a lot of interest.
The puppy was turned over to One of a Kind Pets in Akron. ... Read more: http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2013/02/home_sought_for_deaf_puppy_lef.html

Gay Deaf Man Sues D.C. Jail For Mistreatment
VIDEO: FOX 5 - Deaf man alleges mistreatment at D.C. jail.
WASHINGTON, DC - A former inmate in the District of Columbia correctional system is suing the city for alleged mistreatment. The D.C. man is Deaf, and the lawsuit claims he was unable to effectively communicate during his period of confinement. It also alleges his treatment got worse when he complained.
44-year-old William Pierce is profoundly Deaf. He wound up with a 60-day sentence in the city's correction system after an altercation with his partner resulted in a conviction for simple assault.
At the order of the judge, Pierce actually wound up in the Correctional Treatment Facility to get help. The CTF adjoins the city jail.
Arthur Spitzer, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of the Nation's Capital, said in an interview: "There was no interpreter there for [Pierce] at intake, or at any of his medical appointments, he had some medical problems or at any of his classes. He was taking an anger management class, and he didn't know what was going on. He didn't know what people were saying. He couldn't participate in the group discussion(s)."
The lawsuit says, under the Americans with Disabilities Act, accommodations for the Deaf must be made so inmates can communicate. Things got worse for William Pierce when he complained, according to his attorney. ... Read more: http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/20943928/deaf-man-alleges-mistreatment-at-dc-jail#axzz2KD4UbjPN
WASHINGTON, DC - In a lawsuit filed in federal court on Feb. 1, a former D.C. jail inmate who’s Deaf and gay, accuses the city’s Department of Corrections of engaging in disability-related discrimination by refusing to provide him basic services required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
William Pierce, 44, who was sentenced to two months in a city jail for an assault conviction, charges in the lawsuit that jail officials repeatedly refused to provide a sign language interpreters as required by law and retaliated against him for complaining about his conditions by placing him in solitary confinement.
Pierce, who has HIV, was given only three of the four HIV medications he had been taking at home and was unable to understand why prison doctors changed his medication regimen because of the lack of a sign language interpreter, the lawsuit says.
It says the emotional distress Pierce suffered due to the alleged discriminatory treatment was heightened when jail guards handcuffed him shortly before his mother arrived for a visit, preventing him from communicating with her in sign language.
“The District of Columbia needs to be held accountable for its outright discrimination and reminded that people with disabilities cannot just be locked away and ignored,” said Arthur Spitzer, legal director of the ACLU of the Nation’s Capital, which filed the lawsuit on Pierce’s behalf in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Spitzer said most of the alleged discriminatory actions against Pierce took place at the D.C. Jail’s Correctional Treatment Facility. The CTF is operated by the Corrections Corporation of America, a private company under contract with the city.
“D.C., in turn, needs to hold the Corrections Corporation of America accountable for its continued disregard for the wellbeing of the individuals the city has placed in its care,” Spitzer said in a statement. ...

Deaf Students Lack Interpretors
The Montana Kaimin - Deaf students outnumber interpreters 2-1; school struggles to meet demand.
MISSOULA - A shortage of sign language interpreters in Missoula has left the University of Montana stretching resources thin for Deaf and hard-of-hearing students.
Denise May, the lead interpreter at UM, said Missoula County Public Schools and the University already employ every certified interpreter who wants to work in the region.
"Interpreters are scarce and we could use more," May said. "For example, tomorrow, besides covering all the classes, there's a rodeo club meeting, a mid-year report, a Montana Council for Exceptional Children conference, and others have called asking for interpreters that can work in the community."
There are eight full-time Deaf students attending the University this semester double the number of available full-time sign-language interpreters at UM.

Gallaudet Marks 25th Anniversary of 'Deaf President Now' Protests
WJLA - Gallaudet University marks 25th anniversary of 'Deaf President Now' protests.
WASHINGTON - Gallaudet University is marking the 25th anniversary of the “Deaf President Now” protests. The grassroots effort was launched by students in 1988, generating national and international headlines and resulting in the university’s first Deaf president.
When the Board of Trustees selected the only hearing candidate as Gallaudet University’s next president 25 years ago, students organized a week of protests, chanting “Deaf president now.”
“I can remember when we were looking for a Deaf president I actually made a comment that I hope we see a Deaf president in my lifetime. So I think that gives you an example of how far away it seemed to me,” says Fred Weiner.
Since 1988, three Deaf men have served as president of the university. This week, they gathered to reflect on the so-called DPN movement’s anniversary.
“Expectations were very high, very, very high,” says Dr. I. King Jordan, Gallaudet’s first Deaf president. “But there were also expectations that I couldn’t succeed.
People told me to my face that we doubt you can succeed as president.” Most students attending the reunion were not even alive in 1988... Read more: http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/02/gallaudet-university-marks-25th-anniversary-of-deaf-president-now-protests-84899.html

“Expectations were very high, very, very high,” says Dr. I. King Jordan, Gallaudet’s first Deaf president. “But there were also expectations that I couldn’t succeed.
People told me to my face that we doubt you can succeed as president.” Most students attending the reunion were not even alive in 1988... Read more: http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/02/gallaudet-university-marks-25th-anniversary-of-deaf-president-now-protests-84899.html

Deaf Want A Fair Hearing On Film & TV Subtitles
Video: Maltese Deaf people want a fair hearing on film and TV subtitles.
Valletta, Malta - The quality of life of Deaf people would dramatically improve if subtitles were introduced on TV and in cinemas, according to campaigners.
“Think how much general knowledge you get from the TV,” said Alison Vere from the Deaf People Association, which is behind the Subtitles Now campaign launched recently.
“With the exception of the five-minute Deaf News in Maltese sign language, local TV is inaccessible to Deaf and those hard of hearing,” she added.
Organised jointly with film culture NGO Kinemastik, Subtitles Now is promoting the introduction of sub-titles on TV and more screenings of subtitled movies in cinemas.
Video by kinemastik
The campaign released a video on Youtube to drive home its message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5D_y2G5els.
It starts with sound and subtitles so that all people can understand what is happening, but then the captions disappear and all the dialogue is conducted in sign language.
Eventually the sound of Bob Dylan singing the words “How does it feel?” from Like a Rolling Stone can be heard and a caption asks, “How does it feel to see but not hear?”
Ms Vere said deafness was an invisible disability because it went unseen unless people were communicating in sign language or wearing visible hearing aids.
If their campaign is successful, it would “provide a quantum leap in the quality of life of Deaf Maltese and would also help increase Deaf literacy.”
Association president Steven Mulvaney visited the UK recently and was amazed to find he had the option of closed caption subtitles on every programme on the TV in his hotel room, available through the push of a button.
The association would like Maltese Deaf people to have the same option... Read more: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130205/local/Deaf-want-a-fair-hearing-on-film-and-TV-subtitles-.456320

Settlement Reached In Lawsuit Involving Deaf & Blind Students
Video: KHON2 - Settlement reached in lawsuit involving Deaf and Blind students.
HONOLULU - A multi-million dollar settlement has been reached in a sex assault lawsuit involving Hawaii Center for the Deaf and Blind. It's been a year and a half since the State was sued by a group of students at the school. The students alleged they had been sexually abused by other students.
Friday, the attorney representing the group announced that a multi-million dollar settlement has been reached. A spotlight was cast on the Hawaii Center for the Deaf and Blind in the Kapahulu area in 2011, after police started investigating allegations of widespread sex abuse between classmates.
In August 2011, Honolulu attorney Michael Green filed a lawsuit against the state, on behalf of 50 to 60 students.

"What we found out was, and I never thought about this, that we had children who were the aggressors, we're talking about sodomizing boys, boys on boys, boys on girls, girls on girls, in the bathroom, on school buses, in the bushes, that because no one seemed to care it seemed like it was okay. So people who were victims became aggressors. And you know that part that maybe affected me the most aside from the fact it's happening to young people, and people that have disabilities is that if you cry out who can hear you? If you have blind students who can see it?" said Green.

Deaf Tattoo Convention Berlin 2013

The first International Deaf Tattoo Convention of the world was held in Berlin. Twelve tattoo artists from many countries took part. More than 900 visitors came to Berlin-Weißensee.
It was great to attend the convention. We have learned a lot and made new experiences. For example, it is not "deaf and dumb", but "Deaf". The Moderation we have completely turned at the beginning and forgot to repeat it again. But that experience at least even more viewers, as it is correct. Thanks also to the organizers, it was cool with you!
Of the convention reported Tattoo Model Mel Riot. The 2nd Deaf Tattoo Convention will be held in September 2014 in Paris.

Breaking News: Gallaudet Drug Bust
Video: Gallaudet student arrested on drug distribution charges.
The Washington Post - Police have arrested and charged a Gallaudet University student with intending to distribute drugs after authorities said they found two pounds of marijuana some baked into fudge and cookies in her dorm room on the Northeast Washington campus.
A D.C. Superior Court judge on Monday released Molly E. Sachs to a drug treatment center and ordered her to appear for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 31, according to online court records.
Sachs is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, a felony.
A university spokeswoman confirmed that Sachs is a student and said the school is cooperating with authorities. Statistics show that in 2011, the latest available, three students at the school for the Deaf were arrested on drug charges in dorms, and 147 were referred to campus judicial review for drug-related issues.
The school has about 1,100 undergraduates. D.C. police say in court documents that a school security officer had been notified by a resident assistant about a strong odor of marijuana from a dorm room...

Life Changing Surgery To Help Deaf Boy In Limbo
WSBTV - Life-changing surgery to help Deaf boy in limbo.
Monroe, Ga. - Life-changing surgery to help a Walton County boy who is considered legally Deaf is in limbo. The family’s insurance company denied coverage for cochlear implants, leaving the family few options.
“If he wants to be able to read, write and learn, and have friends; be a kid, he needs to have the surgery,” Brian Rubin told Channel 2’s Rachel Stockman.
Carson Rubin, 5, suffers from auditory neuropathy. He has tried several hearing aids, but so far, nothing has worked. Doctors say the best opportunity for him to live a “hearing” life, would be if he got the implants.
“We pay for insurance. We have coverage and you expect the thing you need will be covered,” Shay Rubin said.
The Rubin’s insurance, Coventry Health Insurance of Georgia, said that the surgery was excluded under their small group plan. The surgery costs about $250,000 for both ears.... Read more: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/life-changing-surgery-help-deaf-boy-limbo/nT8p3/

NMR - ‘Deaf’ Viral video star Sarah Churman talks her new book and the joy of hearing rain. (Exclusive Interview)
Sarah Churman first became known to the social media world in 2011 when the video of her hearing for the first time took the internet channels by storm.

Sarah Churman first became known to the social media world in 2011 when the video of her hearing for the first time took the internet channels by storm. You may remember the video and the tears that it caused you at your work desk which captured the activation of Sarah’s hearing implants and her shock at hearing her own voice.
Two years later, after numerous television appearances and book signings, life on her Texas ranch with her husband Sloan and their two daughters has settled back into somewhat of a routine. Sarah published her first book, “Powered On The Sounds I choose to hear & the NOISE I don’t,” in the hopes of inspiring others with her positive outlook on life.
Talking with NMR, Sarah shared stories about her excitement over her book and her commitment to using her social media fame to create more awareness about the needs of the Deaf community...

Music Video: Mashed Potatoes - Nerven & Zellen
Mashed Potatoes interpretation in Chilean Sign Language by Nerven & Zellen with subtitles.
This video clip of our project NZcanal is a connector between the Deaf, the hearing community, music and art. Created with the aim of becoming a platform of visual entertainment for the entire family, through the dissemination of musical culture and video clip, in order to bring this language to the Deaf community.
Song Mashed Potatoes, played by Cecilia Incomparable. The original song by David Appell and Kal Mann.
Lengua de Señas Chilena, Puré de Papas / Nerven&Zellen.
Tercer video clip, de nuestro proyecto NZcanal. Canción Puré de Papas, interpretada por Cecilia la Incomparable. canción original de DAVID APPELL y KAL MANN.
Video by Maria Siebald
The project consists of the translation (if necessary) of the artists lyrics national, international, current and legends, then adapt under the syntax of sign language, to finally perform the song in that language with the development of a new video clip, under the concepts of our collective aesthetic Nerven & Zellen: http://www.nervenzellen.cl
As Deaf people may have a closeness with lyrics and musical styles of each artist can also add new words to their vocabulary through the subtitle system. Moreover, hearing people may associate words and signs to become familiar with this language.
In a near future we hope to have a wide range of musical styles that can give life to this channel

Gallaudet Community Mourns Mother and Daughter Killed in Falls Church House Fire
Video: Gallaudet Community Mourns Mother and Daughter Killed in Falls Church House Fire.
The Washington Post - Hot pink and yellow not black were the colors of choice for Laura Snyder-Gardner and Mary Ann Gardner’s memorial service Sunday.
The colors were bright and positive and radiated energy, exactly how those who loved them remembered the mother and daughter, who died last week in a Falls Church house fire.
Friends, family members and faculty turned into a sea of pink and yellow Mary Ann’s favorite colors as they gathered at Gallaudet University in Northeast Washington.
They fondly recalled Snyder-Gardner’s generous and nurturing spirit, with many students calling the Gallaudet math professor a “second mom.” And they mourned the loss of Mary Ann’s “radiant smile,” which friends and classmates said was infectious even from afar...

Would A Deaf Lifeguard Be ‘Qualified’ Under The ADA ?
Would a Deaf Lifeguard be ‘Qualified’ Under the ADA ?
Oakland County - What would you do if you were hiring a lifeguard for a community wave pool and the applicant was Deaf, but he was also certified as a lifeguard? A new court ruling this month shows how mistakes made in assessing the applicant's medical condition can leave an employer drowning in litigation ...
Case in Point: Nicholas Keith, 22, was born Deaf and communicates using sign language. He also uses a cochlear implant that helps him detect noises, such as whistles and people calling for help. Keith received his junior lifeguard certification and then successfully completed lifeguard training. (A Michigan county provided a sign-language interpreter to relay verbal instructions to Keith during both training programs.)
Keith then applied for a lifeguard position at the county's wave pool, requesting that a sign-language interpreter be present to relay verbal directions during staff meetings. The county offered Keith the job, conditioned on his passing a pre-employment physical. The doctor failed him, citing his inability to hear. Plus, the county’s safety and risk management consultants expressed concerns over Keith being unable to do the job, despite numerous accommodations the county was offering. So the county rescinded the job offer. ... Read more: http://www.businessmanagementdaily.com/34432/would-a-deaf-lifeguard-be-qualified-under-the-ada
Deaf Lifeguard's Disability Claims Against Oakland County Go To Jury.
The Sixth Circuit has reversed the decision of a lower court and held that a Deaf individual should be permitted to proceed to trial on his claim that a prospective employer discriminated against him on the basis of disability by failing to hire him as a lifeguard. Keith v. County of Oakland, (6th Cir. Jan. 10, 2013).
In reviving the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claim, the Court found that a jury should be permitted to determine whether the individual was otherwise qualified to be a lifeguard, with or without accommodation, that is, whether hearing is an essential function of the job and, if so, whether reasonable accommodations could have been made...

911 Staff Will Text Message With Deaf Canadians
CBC - 911 staff will text message with Deaf Canadians.
OTTAWA - Canadians who have hearing or speech problems will soon be able to send text messages to 911 services.
Other Canadians, however, must continue to communicate with 911 services over the phone, says Canada's telecommunications regulator.
By Jan. 24, 2014, all telephone and wireless companies must upgrade their networks to support text messaging communication with Canadians who have hearing and speech impairments. The service may become available before then in areas where the upgrades are completed early.
"Services such as 911 are critical to the health and safety of all Canadians,” said Jean-Pierre Blais, chairman of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in a statement Thursday.
“This initiative is a perfect example of how technology can be used to improve access to 911 services for Canadians with disabilities." ... Read more: http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2013/01/24/tech-911-texting.html
