2009 Paid Survey Websites – Why You Can’t Find Many of the Good Places

Posted on by

The web is not lacking when it comes to 2009 paid survey sites to choose from. There’s a very big problem growing, though. An enormous amount of you are not even getting close to finding the ones that always give top dollar for their surveys. In fact, most of you never will. That can change now, because I have a few bits of info that will show you the fast way to find the 2009 paid survey sites that always give the most cash.

Let me begin by explaining the problem that I was talking about. There is one huge obstacle in your way, that always keeps you away from the better, higher paying surveys. This would be search engines, which we take for granted, thinking that they’ll keep on giving us the best lists of websites to take surveys. The bad news is that it doesn’t work any more. Absolutely none of the 2009 paid survey sites that pay well show up in their lists any more. Zero.

Since nine out of ten people go straight over to a search engine whenever they feel the itch to take surveys, it’s no wonder why so many folks are being drastically underpaid. Enough about that, though. You can forget all about them. You can direct your attention to the better method of finding 2009 paid survey sites, which would be by using large forums. It’s a piece of cake, especially when you head over to their massive archive section.

From here, you have total access to mounds of honest knowledge and info about surveys. You get honesty here, because big forums always take out all of the spam and all of the blatantly false info that some people like to leave. That’s why they work so well. On top of this, the archives are cluttered with topics about surveys. Hundreds of them. All you do is scan them. You will see so much valuable info, such as people talking back and forth about the great 2009 paid survey sites they have been lucky enough to find. It’s a straight forward approach to making much more cash.

The best way to find 2009 paid survey sites is to get detailed looks at trends and info concerning where other people are the happiest.

Here is a free Top 5 list of 2009 Paid Survey Sites.

Baby Walkers – The Good and the Bad

Posted on by

A baby walker is a very simple device. At it’s simplest, it’s nothing more than a small framework of plastic or metal sitting atop a platform with wheels on the bottom and a cushioned seat in the center. When a baby is placed inside, it helps the child to move around.

Although the peak of their popularity was the mid nineties, they remained popular until the abnormally high accident rate of babies that used them became noticeable. They have since regained some of their popularity as the industry responded to their problems by making safer baby walkers.

These devices are controversial and there are people on both sides of the issue. Some believe that baby walkers are very useful in enabling the child to move around and explore on his own before he or she has developed motor skills and coordination. Others believe, however, that the use of a baby walker inhibits the development of those very same motor skills. Still others believe that because of their new found mobility, children are able to get into troubles that they may otherwise have avoided. Troubles such has getting a-hold of potentially harmful utensils on table tops that he would ordinarily not be able to reach.

Some parents believe that a baby walker is a great time saver device as it let’s them go about their own business while their child is pre-occupied in the “mobile playpen”. However, such a belief is a recipe for disaster. If a kid is too young to be able to walk on his own, he is surely too young to be left alone in a baby walker. And hospital statistic bear that out as one of the most common injuries to babies brought in to U.S. emergency rooms are injuries related to the use of a baby walker. In most cases the injury is directly caused by the baby-walker tipping over near stairs or an uneven floor area and injuring himself in the process.

Parents who are determined to use a baby walker for their child should take certain precautions. The first is to never leave their child unattended. The second is to not use the device on a surface that is uneven and that may cause the walker to tip over. Never, never, never allow your child to be near a stairway while in his walker – this is where most injuries occur. Ensure that the walker is well constructed. And lastly, make sure that whatever walker you buy has the latest built in device safety features recommended by the government.

Studies have shown that babies who extensively use these walkers usually learn to walk at a later age than children who are not always in such devices. As a parent, you can mitigate this trend a bit by not using the walker as a crutch or baby sitter. If you feel that you do need to place your child in a baby walker, try to do it for as short of a period as possible so that he does not become dependent on it.

Is juicing or liquid meal replacements good for IBS?

Posted on by

There is a plethora of information on the internet on how to improve IBS or even how to ‘cure’ IBS (if you see the word ‘cure’ you should be very skeptical – we have no cure unfortunately at this moment in time.) Despite the fact that we have no cure, we do have treatments that work to reduce or eliminate symptoms – one of these is the low fodmap diet. It is a really progressive time with research into IBS increasing knowledge and slowly improving access to services in the NHS – good reasons to be positive. What about the social media information on following a ‘juicing’ diet or liquid meal replacements for IBS – is this likely to help? The juicing hype is likely on the wane through concerns about the sugar content of juices but it is the fodmap sugars that these products contain that is the issue for many people with IBS. It could be argued that food that is chewed well and mixed with digestive juices is in-fact liquid – so why not drink liquids to reduce digestion and ease symptoms?

The answer is juicing is unlikely to help, it is neither a suitable option long term or an option that will reduce digestion processes within the digestive tract. Digestion continues despite what you consume and having liquids is not necessarily ‘easier’ on your digestive tract. If symptom improvement is reported by people it might be that the person was not chewing thoroughly to begin with. Not chewing your food can mean that excessive air is swallowed leading to bloating. Drinking your meals is not really a great idea, for other reasons. Drinking your meals can impact on the amount of fermentable carbohydrates that are consumed – juicing can mean that more of these FODMAPs can be consumed, as you are more likely to to have a larger portion in a drink, than if you consume the ingredients whole. Also dietitians advocate eating behaviour for people with IBS is an important consideration – juicing all meals is not sustainable in the long term and what happens when you break this regimen and return to old habits? Dairy free manufactured juices and shakes are often based on Soya, which is limited to 60 ml on the Low Fodmap diet – so again this can cause symptoms if consumed in excess of this amount. Testimonials are very convincing – but again, time to employ your skeptic radar, is this testimonial written by someone with something to gain from promoting a product or diet lifestyle? Many companies now employ bloggers to write posts from ‘their experience’ but they are often paid for blogging about a product and are therefore biased in their opinions.

There is another hidden issue with juicing for IBS – another promoting benefit of juicing is that it promotes fast consumption, which has always been a bad idea with IBS. Savour your food and chew your food well don’t ‘eat – or drink – on the go’.

The Good Bacteria, the Bad Bacteria and the Ugly

Posted on by

You know how I keep saying – if you are suffering quietly from eczema and atopic dermatitis then you are not alone? Well, as it turns out, I didn’t realise how right I was. I happened to be talking about the fact that we are surrounded by an incredible community of like-minded and supportive fellow sufferers who help to bolster our confidence on those truly awful eczema days; but recent research has shown that you and I are actually likely to be playing host to a thumping, jumping party of a little microbial devils called Staphylococcus Aureus (Staph A for short).

Juice detoxes and cleansing: are they good for eczema?

Posted on by

Juice detox for eczema

Today I popped in to see Sonia and David at Today Extra at the Nine Network studios to chat about juice cleansing. I was surprised to find out David sufferers from eczema (it’s very mild, just on his hand).

Here are my top tips for juicing for good health and clear skin.

David Campbell, Karen Fischer and Sonia Kruger

WHAT IS A JUICE CLEANSE?

A juice cleanse or fast is a period of time where you omit foods and only consume freshly made juices and filtered water. People often use ingredients such as watermelon, oranges, grapefruit, kale, lettuce, carrots, ginger and apples in their juices and it can cause a range of detox reactions and side-effects. However, fans of juice fasting claim it’s great for weight loss, appetite reduction, rehydration and it “rests” the stomach, liver and gut allowing time for repair. It can also be alkalising and help to restore acid alkaline balance to the body. So what are the facts?

Juice cleansing for healthy skin, weight loss and detoxification… does it live up to the hype and are some juices actually good for conditions such as eczema? Here are the top 5 dos and don’ts for juicing.

THE TOP 5 DON’TS FOR JUICE CLEANSING:

1. Don’t juice too many fruits. Juice fasting can be beneficial if you choose the right ingredients. However, fruit juice is high in acid and fructose so avoid fruits such as oranges, kiwi fruit, strawberries, apples and most other fruits. Fruit juice can worsen conditions such as eczema and chronic fatigue syndrome, and it can trigger migraines, insomnia, hypoglacemia and hyperactivity. That is because most fruits are acid-promoting, rich in salicylates and sugars (fructose).

2. Don’t use grapefruit. Grapefruit contains naringin which is a flavonoid that inhibits liver detoxification. In fact, it can block the normal metabolism and breakdown of prescribed medications and alcohol as it blocks cytochome P450 (read the research here). So if you are taking medication, grapefruit could cause accidental overdose or drug medicines or alcohol. Favour other ingredients in your juicing (and once you have finished your health cleanse, don’t mix grapefruit with alcohol).

3. Don’t juice everything. If you have eczema, your skin will flare up on a juice cleanse if you choose the wrong ingredients. The worst juice ingredients for eczema include spinach, kale, tomato, oranges, grapes, kiwi fruit and pineapple, because they are very rich in salicylates, a natural pesticide made by many fruits and vegetables which can worsen eczema and trigger migraines, hyperactivity, insomnia, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders according to research (read the research here). See the juice recipe, below for a low-salicylate juice that is beneficial for the skin.

4. Don’t do a juice cleanse if you are frail, underweight or on medications as it could be counter-productive. If you are unwell and really want to do a juice fast you could alternatively do a medically supervised one or follow our tips, below.

5. You don’t have to go “food-free”. Juice cleansing should be a gentle, everyday practice. For example, drink one juice daily, added to a healthy diet.

In The Eczema Diet I recommend doing a 3-day cleanse that includes juicing, salads and soups so your metabolism is boosted not suppressed.

TOP 5 DOS FOR JUICE CLEANSING:

1. Juice more vegetables and less fruits. Purists can omit fruit all together. It will be more alkalising and less acidic, which is one of the main benefits of a well-designed juice cleanse.

2. Choose low-salicylate fruits and vegetables, especially if you suffer from eczema, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, anxiety, depression (and other mood problems), sleep problems or hyperactivity. See the Healthy Skin Juice recipe, below.

You can also instantly download, for free, the Complete Salicylate Food Charts when you sign up to my website (sign up here). You can use the charts to see which foods and drinks are best for your skin.

3. Do a short juice cleanse – three days is long enough. Then slowly add healthy foods back into your diet.

4. Add soups to your detox cleansing regime. Try this Detox Soup recipe >>

5. Get plenty of rest. You may feel tired and irritable as your body cleanses itself of toxins and chemicals that may have been stored in your tissues. During a detox these chemicals are released into the bloodstream for deactivation by the liver, so they can be safely removal via the kidneys and bile.

So rest, relax and avoid vigorous exercise while doing a juice cleanse, and you’ll reap the benefits of clearer, healthier skin.

 

HEALTHY SKIN JUICE RECIPE

This recipe is ideal for people with skin disorders such as eczema, topical steroid withdrawal, red skin syndrome, psoriasis, dermatitis and hives. It’s a low-salicylate juice so it won’t trigger itchy skin, rashes, migraines or sleep disturbances like normal juices can.

The sprouts are highly alkalising – ensure they are fresh and washed thoroughly. Only use fresh ones, preferably home grown – omit them if you are unsure. Only use these ingredients, not other types of sprouts.

Ingredients

  • 1 large, ripe peeled pear (the peel contains salicylates)
  • 4 stalks celery
  • 1/2 head of iceberg lettuce
  • Optional: 1 cup mung bean sprouts or lentil sprouts
  • Optional: 1/2 cup of parsley (not too much)
  • 1-2 scoops of Skin Friend AM

Method: Juice all fruit and vegetable ingredients in a juicer. Stir in Skin Friend AM. Then drink your way to healthy skin!

 

DO I NEED SKIN FRIEND AM IN MY ECZEMA JUICING PROGRAM?

For people with eczema we recommend Skin Friend AM and Calcium Matrix PM which are available in a kit. For the complete skin health program, see our information on The Eczema Diet and Skin Friend.

Herbal Treatment for Eczema – How Natural Treatments Can Stop Eczema for Good

Posted on by

If you suffer from eczema, chances are, you haven’t reached a point where you’ve completely cured it. If you had, you probably wouldn’t be reading this article right now. And, I’m willing to bet that you are most likely still treating your eczema with old, outdated traditional methods, such as prescription creams and ointments. If you’re not getting the results that you’ve expected you should be seeing, then read on.

Why Traditional Treatments for Eczema Fail

If you’ve been diagnosed with eczema, you probably went to the doctor and were prescribed a topical ointment to help alleviate the symptoms of eczema. That’s the problem with traditional treatments – they only treat the symptoms, rather than cure and prevent eczema from returning. Not only that, but most of these ointments are filled with harmful chemicals that can actually cause more irritation to the skin. Not exactly what you’d expect from a medicine that should be curing your problem, not adding to it.

Why Herbal Treatment for Eczema is the Answer

Herbal treatment for eczema may sound relatively new to the scene, but the truth is that natural eczema treatments have been used for years to aid in the cure and prevention of eczema. There are numerous benefits to natural cures for eczema:

– Proven to be safe and effective

– No drugs or other chemicals, which mean less chances of any serious side effects

– Inexpensive and easily accessible when compared to traditional prescription treatments

Herbal eczema treatment methods work when used consistently, even when eczema appears to be clearing up. This ensures that the skin remains in good health, thus helping prevent eczema from constantly reoccurring. And, as mentioned before, herbal treatments for eczema cause little to no side effects, unlike traditional treatments, which can cause more harm. More harm to the skin = less chance of your eczema clearing up completely and keeping you stuck in a vicious cycle.

So, if you’re tired of treating your eczema with medicines that won’t do the trick, consider giving an herbal treatment for eczema a shot. You’ve got nothing to lose!

Wait – Pay attention below if you want your eczema to go!

Treating eczema requires a solid step by step plan of action. I know of a secret eczema treatment method that is not only guaranteed to help cure eczema, but has been proven to work for THOUSANDS of people just like you. And, you can get instant access to it right now – Head on over to How to Treat Eczema now to find out more!
