Yasmin Side Effects and How to Overcome them

Filed under: Health Info, Legal, Political Activism — admin @ 7:11 pm

Many of young women have chosen Yaz birth control pill, also known as Yasmin or Ocella it’s generic name, as their birth control pill and unfortunately are now paying dearly for their decision. Yaz side effects have become widely reported, some are serious, some even life-threatening. While all ontraceptive pills have some kind of risks associated with them, the side effects reported with Yasmin seem to be a little more extreme. There are so many various Yasmin side effects that one really should examine any health matters that are experienced to observe if it is in some way related to the usage of this contraceptive pill.

The Food and Drug Administration ordered the producers of Yaz, Bayer Pharmaceuticals, to disseminate commercials rectifying their misleading claims in the original Yaz birth control pill campaign ads. In the original adverts, Bayer claimed that Yasmin treated PMS and all acne types. Although, Yasmin is only sanctioned to treat moderate to sever acne, it also treats symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). In the original ads the possible Yasmin side effects were downplayed and these deceptive claims regarding what exactly Yasmin treats were stressed.

There is at least one widely publicized class action suit against the maker of Yasmin, Bayer Pharmaceuticals. If the effects of Yasmin are small, then you may want to consider becoming a part of that class action suit. If your Yaz side effects are of a more crucial nature, then you may want to think about seeking out an attorney who is knowledgeable with this type of case and initiate your own lawsuit against the pharmaceutical giant. There may also be a malpractice lawsuit depending on when the doctor prescribed the birth control pill and your medical history at the time of the prescription.

Laser Resurfacing

Filed under: Beauty Treatments + Products, Political Activism — admin @ 5:35 pm

Acne scarring can have a deep impact on almost anyone. Dr. Harold Farber of the Center For Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetic Surgery says that laser resurfacing is a good method to improve facial appearance by eliminating wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. But laser resurfacing not only works on wrinkles; it can also be used to treat scars that form as a result of acne breakouts. It does not help wrinkled, aged skin exude its former youthful glory; rather, it tones a scarred skin to a much improved look. Using a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, the high-powered beam vaporizes the targeted skin tissues, making room for new tighter, clearer, and firmer skin cells to grow. Also known as laser peel, patients who have undergone laser resurfacing experienced less bleeding, bruising and post-operative discomfort associated with other resurfacing procedures. Laser resurfacing is fast becoming the preferred choice among non-surgical skin and facial enhancing methods. Depending on the degree of damage or how far the enhancement process goes, laser resurfacing can be limited to the epidermis and papillary dermis for superficial or medium resurfacing. For deeper resurfacing, the upper parts of the reticulas dermis can also be targeted for vaporization. The healing process also varies, depending on how “light” or “deep” the laser resurfacing procedure is. In general, an aggressive resurfacing process may take time to heal in contrast to light laser procedures. However, light laser resurfacing may be repeated to achieve the desired results compared to a one-time deep laser resurfacing process.

Solar Shingles Power

Filed under: Internet Investment, Miscellany, Political Activism — admin @ 1:32 am


In the twenty first century alternative energies are the key to our future and using solar power is definitely the way to go. Many people have already installed solar systems into their homes and many more will follow in the years to come. Prices today are much more affordable and if you own an average size house, with an investment of only twenty five thousand dollars you can probably be able to purchase a full system. Such system will allow a clean air environment and reduce your electrical bill to zero. In addition to that, the water will always be heated up and you wouldn’t have to worry anymore about oil and gas prices.

Using solar power and solar shingles is actually much easier than people think and its’ a concept that goes back to the beginning of times, after all the sun is always supposed to be our main source of energy and the fact that we are coming back to that it shows how correct this direction is. Probably from the next generation on, using solar power will be a common thing, as already is today in many instances. We can indeed find solar panels almost in every street corner, either giving power to a traffic light or to garbage waste disposal.

Seeing Blue, Feeling Blue

Filed under: Political Activism — admin @ 10:33 am

I did grow up in the Northeast but I have yet to experience the people labeled as the “elites” or morally inferior. My neighborhood was at the lower half of the middle class spectrum. It would be more likely to find a Chevy Nova on blocks in the driveway of a house in my neighborhood than it would to find a Benz or a Beamer. I went to public schools. When I was a kid I would go to morning mass every weekday, and once on Sunday. My father didn’t work on Wall St., he worked on Main St. My mother was a stay at home mom for much of my childhood. After graduating from public school I went to community college and from there, state school. I paid for it all and I still am.

We grew up in a worse area then some and a nicer area then others and I had friends who liked to hunt but not one of them felt the need to regularly carry a gun. I was taught that the respect for life should be complete, that life begins at conception, “Thou Shalt Not Kill” no matter if it’s war or capital punishment. I was taught morals and a value for life. I was taught to act in the image of Christ, that justice is integral to society, as is food, shelter and health care.

I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my ass. I didn’t go to private school or an Ivy League school like Yale or Harvard. My father wasn’t a senator in the government, he was a deacon in the church. My house had visiting poor Vietnamese and black people living in it, not maids and hired help. We didn’t go to Kennebunkport for Thanksgiving; we delivered food to the needy. On Christmas we went to church, like we did every Sunday and we always prayed before every meal. We never got everything we wanted on Christmas day or on any other day for that matter. We were taught that if you wanted something bad enough you worked for it. The few times that we went on vacation we didn’t get on a plane and head out to our 1000 acre ranch, we got in our car and drove to a cabin within the same state.

Life wasn’t easy on us. Drugs, suicide and violence affected people where I lived in a real way. The men that lived in my neighborhood were the guys that actually fought in the Vietnam War. They were the guys who regularly rushed into burning buildings and when those 2 big ones collapsed in Manhattan, they were the guys who died. Family, where I grew up, was a priority and the glue that held us on the brink of sanity.

No, I don’t know any northeastern elites or moral degenerates. I’ve known a bunch of decent people living life the best they can, who value their family and their God. They may not always agree with you but that’s probably because they’ve lead a tough, different kind of life than most are used to. They have a different perspective on things that’s rooted in where they’ve come from, what they’ve seen with their own eyes, and heard with their own ears.

And they don’t know how truly good they are.
