Holocaust Timeline: Resistance

Holocaust Timeline: Resistance: "Resistance was very hazardous. In addition to the direct threat to those engaged in resistance, there was a great risk of immediate retaliation by the Nazis to the larger population after an insurrection.

As the war continued and conditions for Jews throughout Europe worsened, their resistance intensified."

about the museum

about the museum: "The Museum of Family History's growing collection of photographs and documents has been augmented mostly from those who have expressed a keen interest in this worthwhile project.  Hopefully, much of what will be offered on this website will have appeal for children as well as adults. Perhaps it will promote storytelling from grandparents and parents to their children in the time-honored oral tradition, and will inspire each and every one of us to do more to preserve our cherished family memories for future generations."

Experiencing Teen Drama Overload? Blame Biology : NPR

Experiencing Teen Drama Overload? Blame Biology : NPR: "4. Move away without being rejecting. In preparation for the exit, make a comment that breaks the spell but still keeps you connected. The phrase "I'll go make some tea for us" is a metaphor for any nurturing statement that shows support and implies "I'm not abandoning you." It could be something like "I hope you're doing OK with this. Let's talk again in an hour and see where you are."

Experiencing Teen Drama Overload? Blame Biology : NPR

Experiencing Teen Drama Overload? Blame Biology : NPR: "ust ask any parent of a teenager, who will likely complain about rudeness, ill manners, constant criticism and even being yelled at by their teenager.

But over the past decade, researchers have found it's not just a case of raging hormones. Teens may actually not be able to help engaging in questionable behavior. And their reactions may be, in large part, due to dramatic changes in their rapidly developing brains."

Arthritis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health

Arthritis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health: "Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints. A joint is the area where two bones meet. There are over 100 different types of arthritis.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage. Cartilage normally protects a joint, allowing it to move smoothly. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint, such as when you walk. Without the normal amount of cartilage, the bones rub together, causing pain, swelling (inflammation), and stiffness."

Spinal stenosis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health

Spinal stenosis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health: "SURGERY

If the pain does not respond to these treatments, or you lose movement or feeling, you may need surgery. Surgery is done to relieve pressure on the nerves or spinal cord.

You and your doctor can decide when you need to have surgery for these symptoms. Spinal stenosis symptoms often become worse over time, but this may happen very slowly."

Spinal stenosis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health: "Your doctor may refer you for physical therapy. The physical therapist will help you try to reduce your pain, using stretches. The therapist will show you how to do exercises that make your neck muscles stronger.
You may also see a massage therapist, and someone who performs acupuncture. Sometimes a few visits will help your back or neck pain."

Spinal stenosis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health: "Symptoms are more likely to be present or get worse when you stand or walk. They will often lessen or disappear when you sit down or lean forward. Most people with spinal stenosis cannot walk for a long period of time.

Patients with spinal stenosis may be able to ride a bicycle with little pain."

Spinal stenosis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health: "Symptoms

Often, symptoms will get worse slowly over time. Most often, symptoms will be on one side of the body or the other, but may involve both legs.

Symptoms include:

Numbness, cramping, or pain in the back, buttocks, thighs, or calves, or in the neck, shoulders, or arms
Weakness of part of a leg or arm"

Spinal stenosis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health: "This review was done to find out whether a supervised  programme of exercise (a rehabilitation programme) after surgery was more helpful for patients in their everyday lives than the usual advice to stay active."

Editors Note: After surgery was placed in the red font because the question I am researching is: Even if the such problems of numbness of the fingers or other parts of the body have already become manifest, can physical manipulation (such as in chiropractic or osteopathic, or physical therapy) actually limit the worsening of spinal stenosis and even possibly reverse the effects?




Spinal stenosis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health

Spinal stenosis - National Library of Medicine - PubMed Health: "What works?
Can exercise give better results after spinal surgery for spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis occurs when the canal that the spinal nerves go through narrows and presses on nerves, causing pain in the back or legs. It tends to happen more often in older people."

Spinal stenosis usually occurs as a person ages and the disks become drier and start to bulge"

Cause of Spinal Stenosis what home based remedies are helpful?

My personal theory of various ailments of the body, is that many physical problem such as arthritis, and perhaps even spinal stenosis have primary causes based on lack of physical activity of specific joints.

Therefore if my theory is correct, that part of the bodies "system of aging" somehow involves the effective narrowing of passageways or canals that are not actively used, or the freezing up of joints (via osteoclast or bone making cell activation) based on their non-movement.

Or in short, if there are joints, pathways, or other parts of the body which are normally able to move, even if the motion is only slight or subtle, and these once mobile and usable joints stop being used (as adults become more sedentary) then there are normal body mechanisms which allow these once movable joints to become even less movable as in the case of arthritis and spinal stenosis.

This concept (which might seem obvious to most people) is being written to develop a point of questioning if at least in theory that such simple remedies such as range of motion exercises could be performed at home to diminish and perhaps even reverse the effects of range of motion limiting diseases such as spinal stenosis and arthritis.
