Pandas Place

I became an animal lover when I was a child. My parents were veterinarians and I spent a lot of my childhood helping them care for sick animals. My first dog was a mutt that had been hit by a car and brought in by a driver passing by. He had a broken leg and I bonded with him as his leg mended. Since no one claimed him, my parents let me keep him. It’s because of Rusty that I developed my baseball pitching prowess, since I would throw the balls and he would tireless retrieve them for me. Now that I’m a little league coach, I suggest to the parents of my charges that they should get their children a dog to do the same.

I am very concerned about the endangered species of the world. I had been looking for a way to do something to prevent their extinction and realized I could adopt them the way I adopted Rusty, not by bringing them home of course, but by contributing to the World Wildlife Fund, (WWF). This is a great organization that has dedicated itself to the protection of endangered wildlife. You choose the animals that you want to help protect and send them a set amount of money each month. They use the money to safeguard the animals within their ordinary environment.

They offer a range of animals to choose from, such as the Black Rhino, Bengal Tiger, Bottlenose Dolphin, Orangutan, Giant Panda and the Asian Elephant. All of these animals need protection from the threats presented by mankind.

When you adopt an animal through the WWF, you receive a picture of the animal, a plush toy and a certificate. By displaying them in your home, you can show them to your visitors and educate them about the plight of these animals. My daughter has confiscated the toys, and my wife has put the pictures on the fridge. I do keep the framed certificates in the family room and never hesitate to ask my friends to consider adopting an animal.

Everyone in my family has adopted their own animal. My daughter chose the Giant Panda and my wife chose the Bottlenose dolphin. I chose the Black Rhino.

The Giant Panda has become endangered due to the forests that they live in being cleared for agriculture and lumber. This has also become a problem for the Orangutan and the Asian Elephant. The Black Rhino is being killed for its horn, which is used for medicinal purposes, and poachers have also focused on the Bengal Tiger. The Bottlenose Dolphin is a victim of the commercial fishing industry. They get caught in the nets used for other fish and are also suffering from polluted waters.

These beautiful animals need to be protected because they are in danger of becoming extinct and once that happens, they are gone forever.

Recently the Lancet’s researchers have found that antibiotics have got little or no effect on sinusitis. Only 1 out of 15 patients respond to it. Mostly the virus causing sinus infection are not treated by antibiotics. The report is as follows.

“Antibiotics offer little benefit for patients with acute rhino sinusitis (headache with running nose and sneezing)-like complaints. Antibiotics are not justified even if a patient reports symptoms for longer than 7-10 days.”

The research also says that the doctors put the people under more than one antibiotic course which dev elop bacteria resistance in them. Hence antibiotics remain ineffective. Thus the report pushes many to homoeopathy and other alternative medicines which are not only free from side effect but also brings lasting relief.

Symptoms of sinusitis

1. Headache (heavy head); mostly frontal

2. Sneezing early morning

3. Dust allergy

4. Blocked nose

5. Runny nose, eyes

6. Itchy nose, eyes, throat.

7.Tastelessness in tongue.

Causes-

1. Decreased body resistance.

2. Disturbed immune system

3. past medical history of frequent cold

4. Family medical history of respiratory or skin problem.

Triggers-

Dust exposure, cold exposure, cold food intake, physical or mental stress, season (winter mostly)

How sinus infection happens?

Sinuses are the air filled cavities of the skull (head bone).Their function is to filter the inhaled air and to maintain resonance of voice. Normally mucus used to flow through the sinus passages. If the flowing mucus is infected by some bacteria or virus then that causes the above mentioned symptoms. Now you may say then those bacteria and virus are the causes. But the fact is each moment we are exposed to those thousands of bacteria or viruses while breathing in .Still we all are not affected by those always because of our body resistance power which protects us from those virulent affections. Only when our resistance power is diminished we are affected.

Homoeopathy for sinusitis-

Homoeopathy has constitutional treatment approach for sinusitis which not removes present complaints but also prevents recurrence.

Home remedy-

Boil the water till it starts bubbling. Then inhale the steam coming out of it.

Picture yourself relaxing on a sandy beach while your kids run and jump in the waves. Maybe you’ll decide to scoot over to Mexico for lunch, visit with the Panda bears, or spend the afternoon riding a scenic trolley. Can’t decide which of these vacation activities sound most appealing? Experience it all with a San Diego vacation.

There are so many San Diego attractions to enjoy and explore, it seems like many vacation destinations rolled into one. Plan ahead and your family will have an unforgettable holiday. Here are eight “must experience” places to visit and activities to try on your trip to beautiful San Diego:

1. Hit the Beach

San Diego beaches are spectacular year-round. Whether you visit in summer or over the winter holidays, the local beaches personify the complete San Diego lifestyle. Visit gorgeous Mission Beach. Ride the Belmont Park roller coaster. From bodysurfing to soaking up the rays, San Diego beaches are definitely where the action is.

2. Shuffle off to Mexico

The city of Tijuana is just across the Mexican border from San Diego. Taking a side trip to Tijuana or Baja is easy and quite safe; just bring your passport and be mindful of the Mexican laws. There is an international paradise ready to be explored, so say “Si” to a day in Mexico.

3. Catch a Fish Taco

Not exactly a famous San Diego attraction, rather a must-try taste of the city, fish tacos are pieces of battered and deep-fried fish encased in a corn tortilla. Try one, and you’ll want to come back to San Diego just for another taste of this local treat. Visitors to San Diego say that fish tacos are among the city’s best foods.

4. Take a Trolley Ride

San Francisco isn’t the only California city with a famous trolley. The San Diego trolley serves as the city’s public transit system. You can buy an all-day pass and see more San Diego attractions than you ever could by car. The San Diego highways can be quite intimidating, making the trolley your best bet for stress-free sightseeing.

5. Visit the Pandas

The famous San Diego Zoo at Balboa Park is a popular tourist destination, but the pandas are the real attractions. Baby Su Lin and the other pandas are most active in the morning, so plan to see them first on your trip to San Diego zoo. Sea World and Legoland are also great choices for entertaining your “little animals”.

6. Balboa Park

The undisputed shining jewel of San Diego is Balboa Park. It’s the nation’s largest urban cultural park, housing fifteen museums, renowned performing arts venues, beautiful gardens and the San Diego Zoo. The atmosphere is breathtaking no matter when you stop by, but if you visit on Tuesdays you’ll find that most museums offer free admission. After you work up an appetite exploring Balboa, stop at Prado or any of the fine restaurants within the park for a fantastic meal in a beautiful setting.

7. Nightlife

The historic Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego is the place to be for eating, dancing and people watching. Shop, snack and take in the stunning architecture during the day. At night, there are more than 90 restaurants plus live theatre and countless nightclubs to choose from. Gaslamp is the place to let loose in San Diego.

8. Old Town

History buffs can find bits of Old San Diego incorporated with new developments throughout the city. Visit Old Town State Historic Park for a blast of San Diego’s past. Make sure you visit the Old Town Mexican Cafe, as it serves the best Mexican food San Diego has to offer.

If your family is torn between exciting excursions, historic America, exotic adventure or a tropical paradise, visit San Diego. The variety of San Diego attractions offers the best of all worlds in one vacation destination.
