What to wear
what to wear? Are you at a loss when it comes to dressing for holiday get-togethers? Do not despair; many people share your concern. However
there are a few guidelines you can keep in mind when preparing to attend a holiday party.

Know where you are going
This is a big one. Simply having an idea where you are going and how others will be dressed will save a lot of time and a major headache. If you are going to an office Christmas party
business casual will probably be the best choice. However
if you are just going to your sister's house
you may be able to tone it down. If you are unsure
ask someone what the dress code will be. Keep in mind that "casual" means different things to different people. When you are told "casual" in a business setting
you should dress business casual
no jeans. Likewise
formal
may mean black tie or simply a jacket and tie; be sure to clarify if you are unsure.

Stay away from clothes that are too sexy
Especially in a business setting
you do not want to show up in revealing clothes. It is not professional and will probably reflect poorly on you. This should also be the practice if you are attending your spouse's office party. If you are going out with your spouse for a night on the town
sexy clothes are more appropriate. There is a thin line between attractive and sleazy; be sure not to cross that line and embarrass yourself.

Keep it simple
The simpler you can keep your attire
the better. Nine times out of ten
you will be better off in a simple black dress than trying to coordinate slacks
a blouse
and three other layers of clothes. Make it easy on yourself when possible.

Too many sparkles
Many women will use the holiday season to wear a lot of sparkles and shiny clothes. This is fine in moderation; however
if you look like you have been wrapped in tinsel
you should probably go with something else.

Jewelry
Nothing can be as flattering as the right accessories. However
when used the wrong way
they can destroy a good thing. When you are choosing your jewelry
stay with subtle beauty -- nothing huge or gaudy. While some people can pull off Santa Claus earrings
most of us can not. Especially the more formal a party
the more conservative the jewelry should be.

Makeup
When it comes to your face
you should also keep it delicate. Certain occasions will dictate red lipstick and more drastic makeup; however
you should be careful not to over-do it. Dark blush or rouge almost never looks good.

The companies selling Lysine supplements have done a great job in getting people to buy a substance that has little value in managing a chronic herpes infection. Lysine has never been shown conclusively in clinical studies to be an effective long term treatment for herpes and in the short term it has never been shown to be more effective than a garlic supplement. Long term use of lysine supplements suppress the arginine levels in your body to a point where it begins to impair your immune system because your immune system does actually need a certain amount of arginine to function properly.

Like all things in your body
balance is the key. Your immune system depends on a good balance between lysine and arginine and the best way to achieve this is to get your lysine through your diet the way your body was designed to instead of through a pill. Eat the foods high in lysine
avoid the foods high in arginine. Simple.

You cannot manage herpes just by popping a pill whether it comes from a drug company or a "natural health" company. This isn't "the valley of the dolls" you actually can get through life without being dependent on pills.

Real management of herpes means strenthening your immune system so that it can keep the virus in check which is what your body is designed to do. You can accomplish this through taking real herbal medicine from an herbalist or by making it yourself.

Real management of herpes also means making the effort to eat an appropriate diet
stress management
and working on your emotional and mental relationship with the disease.

It does take more work to take care of your body naturally than it does to pop a pill. I for one think your body's worth it. I think your life's worth it. Some would disagree
but at least I've made the point.

Here comes the sun,
the Beatles chorused. And as children most of us heeded the call enjoying long lazy days in the sun
laughing and cherishing time with friends. As we grew older
however
we were told the sun’s rays were destructive; the ozone layer was near depletion. Soon many asked: “Why leave the house in the first place?”

Is it any wonder researchers are finding us vitamin D deficient (Ref. Harvard Health Letter 2006)? To understand why this is significant it is first important to inquire: What exactly does Vitamin D do? Yes
Vitamin D is necessary for strong bones and teeth
but what most don’t know is it is key in reducing the risk of many types of cancer including breast
colon
prostate and ovarian (Ref. The American Journal Of Public Health).

Studies now conclude that 15 minutes in diffused sunlight can set off the metabolic process in skin which creates vitamin D. Yet before tanning yourself beyond recognition: use your head. This is not permission to stay in the sun for long periods as its aging qualities are still applicable. Limit yourself to 15 minutes and choose parts of the day when you are not in direct sunlight. You know
even on a cloudy day you are absorbing the suns rays and it can also penetrate through clothing. Therefore
if you do choose to increase your exposure; use common sense.

If the sun or outdoor activities are not for you
there are other options to stock up on vitamin D as well. Salmon is rich with vitamin D
for example
as is milk. Or you could opt for cod-fish based supplements with vitamin D added. These additions to your diet are well worth your time and research. As always
do your homework and consult with your healthcare provider to choose a vitamin D option for you. Perhaps a healthy dose of fun in the sun will be just what the doctor ordered.

Miscarriages could happen due to a plethora of reasons. Some of the most common causes are -

- Multiple pregnancies
- Increasing age. With increasing age the percentage of miscarriages also increase. As per statistics
for women who are less than 35 years miscarriages happen at a rate of 6.4%
between 35-40 it is 14.7% and over 40 it is 23.1%.
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Affected by a soft tissue disease known as Scleroderma
- Fever over 100 degree F
- Smoking increases the risk by nearly 30-50%
- Earlier use of contraceptive pills could also be a reason.
- Women who conceive with IVF treatment
as in case of hormonal imbalance
- Abnormalities of the uterus

Preventive Measures

Some home remedies suggested to prevent miscarriages are

Drink raspberry leaf tea with a little Composition Powder. This helps to alleviate after pains of childbirth
uterine hemorrhage
and miscarriage.

True Unicorn Root is a very important tonic for women. It is very useful in healing female reproductive organs. It works pretty well for women who have a history of miscarriages due to chronic weakness. It can be used for the entire period of pregnancy as it has simulative properties. It is valuable for treating sterility and impotency problems.

You can drink one cup of false unicorn every half hour to prevent miscarriage.

You can have Squaw Tea
which prevents miscarriages and strengthens the uterus.

Boil 2 oz. wild yam and 1 oz. coltsfoot in 1 1/2 quarts of water for 20 minutes. Take 1 tsp for 1 every cup and have it 3-4 times a day.

3
parts false Unicorn root and 1 part Lobelia. Boil 3 oz herb in 1 1/2 quarts of water for 20 minutes. Drink 1 tablespoon with water at least 3-4 times daily.
