These past few years, I have become a huge advocate for feeding fresh food to dogs to enhance their lives. However, you don't exactly have to transition your dog to a 100% fresh food diet in order to gain the benefits of fresh food.

Simply adding fresh food to your dog's kibble can go a long way in improving their nutrition and overall health. For instance, one study done a group of dogs in 2005 revealed that feeding vegetables just three times a week had significantly lowered their risk of developing cancer, compared to dogs who were only fed kibble.

Asian markets, in particular, have some very beneficial fresh food items that aren't typically found at your local grocery store. These food items, however, are not intended to fully replace your dog's food. Remember - too much of something good can be bad for you.

Instead, they should be offered in moderation as treats, or just small amounts topped over an already complete and balance meal. As a general rule of thumb, treats/toppers should never make more than 10% of your dog's overall diet.

Bok choy (Chinese cabbage) is full of essential vitamins and minerals needed to support a dog’s eyesight, cardiac function, digestion, bone strength, and immunity. Sulfurophane - a compound found in bok choy and other cruciferous vegetables - has been linked to inhibiting cancer cell growth, lowering blood pressure, and activating the nuclear factor Nrf2 which prevents the development of diabetes and its complications. Bok choy’s low calorie, high fiber content also make it a good option for a snack/food topper for dogs who need to control their weight. 

Preparation: Lightly steam or boil for better nutrient absorption. Cooking will also help neutralize the enzyme (myrosinase) that can decrease thyroid function. You should also chop/trim their long leaves to avoid choking hazards.

Goji berries (wolfberries) are rich in amino acids, carotenoids which support healthy vision, and polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardio-protective properties. Studies on goji berry supplementation in animals have shown that it has the potential to help lower cholesterol, protect the liver by increasing hepatic antioxidant activity, as well as enhance metabolic homeostasis and prevent diabetes-induced renal inflammation. 

Preparation: Remove stems if still attached and cut/mash berries. If dried, soak in water until softened to avoid passing straight through the GI tract and losing the benefits of its nutrients. 

Offal refers to the internal organs and variety meats of animals that can be consumed as food (i.e. lung, heart, kidney, liver, gizzard, head, feet, etc.) The word 'offal' literally translates to "fall off", and thus, whatever falls off the skeleton during the butchering process. Offal is densely loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats - so small amounts go a long way. Pet owners who use these as ingredients as part of a complete and balanced recipe should keep in mind that each organ is unique in its nutrient profile - dependent on the animal it is sourced from and how it is raised. For example, grass-fed beef may contain less fat yet more vitamin A and E than grain-fed beef, and beef liver has significantly more vitamin A and copper than chicken liver.

Preparation: Boil in water or low-sodium broth. May also be baked or dehydrated into jerky treats.

Oyster mushrooms are a good source of protein and fiber, and vitamins that support healthy digestion. They can help to increase satiety and maintain healthy body weight. Oyster mushrooms are also full of pantothenic acid which help to maintain cognitive function and healthy skin/coat. Beta-glucans derived from oyster mushrooms have also been shown to reduce inflammation and strengthen immunity. 

Preparation: Lightly sauté or boil in water or low-sodium broth. Raw or dried mushrooms can be difficult for dogs to digest. 

Purple sweet potato (Ube or Okinawan sweet potato) are typically found in grocery stores more commonly during the fall/winter seasons. They contain more antioxidants than regular sweet potatoes due to the anthocyanins that cause their violet hue. While all potato varieties may impact blood sugar levels because of their high carbohydrate content, purple potatoes may exert less of an effect because of their high polyphenol content that decreases the absorption of starches in the intestines. In addition, they have been linked to improving blood pressure, likely due to their high potassium content. 

Preparation: Peel skin and bake until soft for better digestibility and to prevent intestinal blockages. May be boiled and drained to reduce oxalate intake for dogs with a history of bladder stones, or prone to urinary issues. 

Quail eggs are small, yet packed with protein and essential fatty acids, and have a higher ratio of iron, riboflavin, and vitamin b12 than chicken eggs. It is even safe and can be beneficial to feed them with the shells included for added calcium. Quail eggs have been linked to improving bone growth/healing, reducing liver damage, and increasing energy levels. While some studies have shown evidence of quail eggs treating allergies in humans and mice, they may be less likely to trigger reactions than chicken eggs in dogs who have poultry sensitivities.

Preparation: Wash thoroughly, and handle gently as they are more fragile due to their tiny size. Cooking methods are similar to that of chicken eggs, yet require less time. 

Sardines contain all the amino acids your dog needs for optimal health, making it a "complete protein". They are also notorious for being rich in omegas and coenzyme q-10, which help support heart and brain health. What sets sardines apart from other fish, too, is that they are smaller and more short-lived species than larger predator fish and may have less of a risk for mercury poisoning. Because they are so small and have soft bones, you can feed them whole to your pets.

Preparation: Bake or dehydrate. If already purchased as dried, be sure to make sure there is no added salt or seasonings. If canned, preferably those stored in water only.

Sushi rice (Japanese sticky rice) has a high proportion of starch and moisture, giving it a stickier texture when cooked. Sushi rice has virtually zero fat, yet still provides a desirable balance of nutrients while remaining gentle on a dog’s digestive tract. Its higher iron content than regular rice supports healthy blood circulation and can provide more energy to dogs who are recovering from illness. Cooling/refrigerating the rice before serving also enables more retrogradation of prebiotic fiber, helping to lower glycemic responses and maximize intestinal function.

Preparation: Rinse thoroughly and soak in water (with 1tbsp apple cider vinegar - optional) before cooking. If you don’t have a rice cooker or instant pot, boil on the stove until the water is completely absorbed. May be cooked with bone broth for added flavor. You can also use small amounts of beet root powder, turmeric, or blue spirulina to add color and nutrients.

Going Down is Coming Up: Oral Sex and its Confusions

If oral sex isn’t sex, how come it’s considered cheating?

Posted August 11, 2015 Reviewed by Devon Frye

Source: By Artist's name not known. Original Wikipedia uploader was Eloquence at en.wikipedia [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons

Considering it matches intercourse as common sexual fantasy, as an acceptable and prevalent sexual act, as a part of the normative American sexual script, as a popular Google search term (47 vs. 42 million hits, respectively), and as a method of facilitating presidential impeachments (leading 1-0 in this category), oral sex is still somewhat of a puzzlement—a slippery concept of ambiguous status. 

article continues after advertisement

For example, despite periodic media frenzies bemoaning an epidemic of casual teenage oral sex, research suggests that most adolescents and young adults experience oral sex in the context of a romantic relationship and perceive it as an intimate sexual act. Moreover, having oral sex with someone who isn’t your partner is widely regarded as sexual cheating. 

At the same time, oral sex is commonly regarded as less intimate than intercourse, requiring a lesser level of commitment. 

For some, it is not sex at all. A 1998 Gallup poll showed that roughly 14 percent of people questioned agreed with then president Clinton’s famous contention that oral sex wasn’t sex. A study from 1999 with a sample of 599 Midwestern college students found that 59 percent did not think oral-genital contact constituted having sex. Only 20 percent of young participants in a more recent (2007) sample of college students thought oral sex constituted sex. Some even view oral sex as a form of abstinence, as many youngsters practice it as a substitute for sex, and consider themselves virgins. 

So if you’re having oral sex with someone other than your romantic partner, you may be sexually unfaithful without having had sex. Hmm.

Complications also abound when we consider oral sex in the context of sexual health and safety. As birth control, oral sex is safe and effective, insomuch as it facilitates sexual arousal, increases intimate bonding, and leads reliably to orgasm without the risk of pregnancy.

However, in the context of sexual health, oral sex is indeed risky. It may serve as transmission vehicle for multiple STIsincluding HIV, HPV (human papillomavirus), HSV (herpes simplex virus), hepatitis C, and a host of bacterial infections, such as syphilis and gonorrhea. 

Moreover, while transmission via oral sex is less likely than via intercourse for many STIs, notably HIV, oral sex is often practiced in lieu of intercourse, with more partnerswho are less likely to be exclusive. People are much less likely to use protection when engaging in oral sex. Dental dams—pleasantly colorful and scented as they may be—are still vastly less popular (and less well marketed) than condoms.

article continues after advertisement

Thus, while safer in theory, oral sex might prove riskier than intercourse in practice when it comes to STIs.

The considerable prevalence and persistence of the practice throughout history and around the world, coupled with the fact that it serves no clear and direct reproductive function, have made it a topic of interest for evolutionary psychologists.

For example, Oakland University researchers Michael Pham, Todd Shackelford, and Yael Sela, have argued that the practice might serve an evolutionary function in the struggle for mate retention. They found that, “men at a greater recurrent risk of sperm competition expressed greater interest in, and spent more time performing, oral sex on their partner.” 

Also, “men who report performing more mate retention behaviors, in general, and more benefit-provisioning mate retention behaviors, in particular, also report greater interest in, and more time spent, performing oral sex on their female partner. Likewise, women who report performing more benefit-provisioning mate retention behaviors also report greater interest in, and more time spent, performing oral sex on their male partner.”

In other words, in the competitive sexual hospitality business, servicing your partner orally constitutes that extra personal touch, as it were, that may keep them as repeat customers and prevent them from taking their business elsewhere.

Be that as it may, the non-reproductive aspect of the practice is one reason why oral sex is considered a B-lister in the hierarchy of what constitutes "having sex." This fact may also contribute to the practice’s glaring absence from sex education curricula in the U.S. This absence is emblematic of the fact that sex education in U.S. schools, to the extent that it exists, takes a defensive approach, emphasizing the hazards of sex while stridently sidestepping its positive pleasure and play aspects. In other words, our sex education avoids discussing the reasons most people actually have sex. Hmm.

Sex Essential Reads

Then there’s Sigmund Freud, who no doubt contributed to the practice’s inferior status by theorizing that a taste for oral pleasure constituted a neurotic fixation in an infantile stage of psychosexual development. In other words, a Libido Army that took too many early casualties conquering the provincial Oral Town may not have sufficient forces left to conquer the capital city of Intercourse. Robust evidence in support of this view is yet (and unlikely) to be produced.

Actually, a strong argument can be made that a taste for oral sex in fact reflects a refined and elevated sexual consciousness. The fact that oral sex is not reproductive aligns it with the higher realms of human experience, shaped primarily by social, psychological, or even spiritual motives. Notable in this context is the fact that the "giving" aspect is paramount in oral sex, and the focus is on the receiving partner’s pleasure.

article continues after advertisement

Moreover, the traditional hegemony of intercourse can be viewed as having emerged in part from an increasingly passé consciousness that privileges heterosexuality. As gay and lesbian lovemaking attains normative status, non-reproductive bonding and pleasure acts such as oral sex stand to gain in stature as well.

Finally, oral sex is superior to intercourse in at least two additional ways:

For most women, it is a significantly more reliable method of achieving orgasm.

Oral sex can continue to be a source of sexual pleasure long after old age has taken away erection and adequate vaginal lubrication. 

The ambivalence surrounding oral sex stems in part from the imprecision of the term itself. In fact, "oral sex" packs together two separate and distinctive actions that are usually performed independently: oral stimulation of the penis (fellatio), and oral stimulation of the clitoris and vulva (cunnilingus).

As commonly deployed, the term "oral sex" connotes—and is often confused with—heterosexual fellatio alone. As the researchers Laina Bay-Cheng and Nichole Fava wryly note, “It is hard to imagine journalistic exposés such as the book and documentary of the same title, Oral Sex is the New Goodnight Kiss (Azam, 2009), being mistaken as warnings about rampant cunnilingus.”

Cunnilingus and fellatio are better regarded as unique and distinctive sexual practices underlined by different psychological processes, and carrying different social and personal implications.

For example, the relative absence of cunnilingus from casual hook ups, compared to the relative high prevalence of fellatio in such encounters, has been identified as one reason for the "orgasm gap:" the finding that women are less likely to orgasm in hookups than men. 

Further, recent work of Laina Bay-Cheng of the University of Buffalo School of Social Work and her colleagues found no associations between the age of initiation of cunnilingus and psychological functioning or sexual coercion in a sample of young women. Moreover, while engaging in fellatio at a younger age was associated with lower self esteem among the women in the sample, those who initiated cunnilingus at younger ages were more likely to report engaging in sexual intercourse for personal gratification and in order to feel assertive, agentic, and skillful.

“Cunnilingus,” the researchers conclude, “may involve young women’s advocacy on behalf of their own desires and the prioritization of their own sexual pleasure.”

Now, there’s a finding worth discussing in Sex Ed class.

Hello,

How do you do ? I hope to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.

This is the link if you would to read our story well 👇👇

https://gofund.me/4e896ac1

Thank you all

I once again cannot overstate that if you're trying to market your GFM to solicit donations that I am not the right person for that.

You're gonna wanna look for people with a bigger following. For real. I have 50 followers and I'm pretty sure 40 of them aren't even real people.

I don't want to discourage people from cold-calling like this because word of mouth does work. But you are shouting into a void here. Sorry and good luck.

But good luck I guess.

Understanding Hepatitis Testing and Diagnostics

Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, commonly caused by viral infections, though it can also result from other factors like excessive alcohol consumption, toxins, and certain medications. There are five main types of viral hepatitis: A, B, C, D, and E. Each type differs in its mode of transmission, severity, and long-term effects.

Sample Report@ https://www.emergenresearch.com/request-sample/1492

Importance of Hepatitis Testing

Early diagnosis is key to preventing severe liver damage and other complications. Hepatitis testing helps identify the specific type of virus causing the infection, enabling healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans accordingly. Regular testing is particularly important for high-risk individuals, such as healthcare workers, people with multiple sexual partners, and those with a history of intravenous drug use.

Types of Hepatitis Tests

Serological Tests:

Hepatitis A (HAV): Detection of anti-HAV IgM antibodies indicates a recent infection, while anti-HAV IgG antibodies suggest past infection or vaccination.

Hepatitis B (HBV): A variety of markers are used, including HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) for current infection, anti-HBs for immunity, and anti-HBc (core antibody) to indicate past or ongoing infection.

Hepatitis C (HCV): Anti-HCV antibodies are used to detect past or present infection. A positive result usually leads to further testing to confirm active infection.

Hepatitis D (HDV): Anti-HDV antibodies and HDV RNA tests are used for diagnosis, usually in individuals already infected with HBV.

Hepatitis E (HEV): Anti-HEV IgM antibodies indicate recent infection, while anti-HEV IgG antibodies suggest past exposure.

Molecular Tests:

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): This test detects the viral genetic material (DNA or RNA) and is particularly useful for HBV, HCV, and HDV. It helps determine the viral load, guiding treatment decisions.

Genotyping: Identifies the specific genotype of the virus, particularly for HCV. Different genotypes may respond differently to treatments.

Liver Function Tests:

These tests measure enzymes and proteins in the blood that indicate liver health. Elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) can signal liver inflammation or damage.

Innovations in Infectious Disease Therapeutics Field

Innovations in Infectious Disease Therapeutics Field New Developments in Antiviral Drug Discovery Viruses are constantly evolving and finding new ways to evade our immune systems and existing treatments. This makes developing effective antiviral drugs an ongoing challenge. Researchers are making progress, however, with several new and promising antiviral agents in development. One area of focus is on developing pan-antiviral drugs that can target different types of viruses. These broad-spectrum antivirals hold potential as treatments for viruses with no approved therapies as well as emerging viruses. Several candidates are being evaluated that block viral fusion or entry into host cells. These include EIDD-2801, which is in clinical trials for influenza. EIDD-2801 works by inhibiting RNA replication of influenza and many other respiratory viruses. Other pan-antiviral approaches involve activating innate immune defenses. RVX-208 is a small molecule that enhances the cellular antiviral response mediated by RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs). In animal studies, RVX-208 showed protection against a variety of viruses including influenza, Ebola and Marburg. It could serve as a contingency treatment for outbreaks of unknown viruses. Toll-like receptor agonists also activate innate immunity and may have broad antiviral potential. New Infectious Disease Therapeutics Target Hepatitis C and HIV Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can now be cured in over 95% of cases with all-oral direct-acting antiviral regimens. Second-generation pangenotypic regimens that work against all major HCV genotypes are revolutionizing treatment. However, challenges remain including how to increase access to care and develop affordable therapies for developing countries where HCV remains largely untreated. Researchers are also working on preventative HCV vaccines, which could help curb future infections. The HIV/AIDS pandemic has been transformed by combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). However, a cure remains elusive and lifelong treatment is still required. Investigational strategies to achieve a functional cure include "kick and kill" approaches using latency-reversing agents plus immunotherapy. Gene therapy techniques are also being explored as a potential cure by delivering genetic modifications like the 'London patient' case or using CRISPR/Cas9 to disrupt HIV DNA. Additional research aims to develop long-acting injectable or implantable forms of cART to improve adherence. New Antimicrobials Target Drug-Resistant Infectious Disease Therapeutics The resistance crisis presents grave threats as common infections again become difficult or impossible to treat. This is driving intensive efforts to discover new classes of antibiotics. Unfortunately, only a few new drugs have reached the market in recent years. Many programs focus on screening natural sources for novel chemical scaffolds with antimicrobial activity. Actinomycetes (bacteria found in soil) have historically produced the majority of antibiotics in clinical use and continue to offer new possibilities. Another strategy is re-engineering existing antibiotic scaffolds to potentially regain or enhance activity against resistant pathogens. In addition to bacteria, drug-resistant fungal infections pose an increasing threat in immunosuppressed patients. Only three major classes of antifungals are available clinically with limited options for difficult-to-treat invasive candidiasis and aspergillosis. New triazole, echinocandin, and alkylamino fungicidal compounds are under development to expand the arsenal. Alternative approaches include phage therapy - using viruses that infect bacteria (bacteriophages) as living antimicrobial drugs. Phages have shown promise treating multi-drug resistant infections when antibiotics fail. However, more research is needed to optimize this approach for clinical use. Nanoparticle formulations can also potentially enhance the potency and delivery of existing and experimental antibiotics.
