Free Condoms Distribution Programs

parents for help because they are devout Catholics and would obviously not
be too pleased, nor understanding of her sexual activities.
If Mary had a free condom distribution program in place at her
school, then Mary might feel more comfortable receiving condoms from nurses
and health officials at her school rather than her parents. That is why I
believe that it would be extremely beneficial to have a program like the
one at Mary's school in effect at our school. All the girls and boys out
there that are in Mary's situation would flourish from a program like that.
First lets talk about the condom and its pros, cons, and what .....

Indian Healing Beliefs
.... of medicine, or being born into a family that includes
generations of medicine people. Many tribes have both men and women
medicine people, but some tribes have only medicine women. Many medicine
people have a specialty, such as herbalist, bone setter, midwife, or
counselor. The Hopi tribe has Effie, a medicine women who learned the art
of using herbs. Each person is effective and useful at what he or she does,
and they each have distinct ways of doing their work. They are ‘medicine'
in their cultures; learned, capable individuals who hold places of respect
in their communities.

AIDS
.... or insects.
AIDS is a life and death issue. To have the AIDS disease is a
sentence of slow but inevitable death. There currently is no cure or
vaccine for this disease. There are drugs that have been proven effective
in slowing the spread of this deadly disease.
We know enough about how the infection is transmitted to protect
ourselves from it. But too few people are hearing the AIDS message.
Perhaps many simply don't like or want to believe what they hear,
preferring to think that AIDS "can't happen to them." Like other
communicable diseases, AIDS can strike anyone. AIDS doesn't just occur in
certain social groups. We mus .....

their memory deficit, while those with dementia - except for in the early
stages of the disease - have no insight into their memory deficit and often
blame others for their problems.
In addition to the memory deficit interfering with the patient's
daily activities, patients with dementia have evidence of impaired abstract
thinking, impaired judgement, or other disturbances of higher cortical
functions such as aphasia (the inability to use of comprehend language),
apraxia (the inability to execute complex, coordinated movements), or
agnosia (the inability to recognize familiar objects) (Bunch, 1997 p.107).

Alzheimer's: Genetic Dementia
.... APOE-e4 may simply be unable to efficiently repair
nerve cells. The presence of e4 does not signify if person will develop
Alzheimer's; instead, it signifies when he or she will get it. Recent
studies suggest that Alzheimer's may be affected by an interaction between
APOE and the newly discovered risk factor alpha-2-macrogobulin, A2M, a gene
mutation on chromosome 12. A2M is a protein that deactivates proteases,
enzymes that carve up other proteins. Alpha-2-macrogobulin's involvement
in Alzheimer's development is especially likely because it attaches to the
same cell surface protein as APOE and amyloid precursor-protein .....

alcohol to be banned in the United States. In nineteen twenty alcohol was
banned in the United States. Alcohol was complete illegal for thirteen

The Cystic Fibrosis Gene
.... To find the gene responsible for CF, the principle of
"reverse genetics" was applied. Scientists accomplished this by linking the
disease to a specific chromosome. After this linkage, they isolated the
gene of interest on the chromosome and then tested its product.
Before the disease could be linked to a specific chromosome, a
marker needed to be found that would always travel with the disease. This
marker is known as a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism or RFLP for
short. RFLP's are varying base sequences of DNA in different individuals
which are known to travel with genetic disorders.3 The RFLP for cystic
fibrosi .....

Tuberculosis,Gonorrhea,Typhoid fever,Lyme disease,Gangrene,and
Endocarditis.Some of these diseases are fatal.Bacteria can also cause skin
diseases such as Dermatitis,Leprosy,and Carbuncle.Some bacterial diseases
can be controlled by antibiotics.Some of these are
Penicillins,Cephalosporin,
Aminoglycosides,Tetracyclines,Macrolides,and Sulfonamides.Though over the
years some bacterias have evolved and become immune to antibiotics making
them unstoppable.Bacteria can also pollute water,decay teeth,and can poison
food.

The Nervous System: Brain And Spinal Cord
.... the involuntary function of the body This part of the brain is the
connector between the spinal cord and the cerebrum.
The spinal cord belongs to the C.N.S. It is the most important
bones of your lower back and it controls movement and mostly every thing in
the body it has nerves. If you do not have a spinal cord you can't move
around and go anywhere. You can not work or you cannot do most things
normal people do. That is why you need a spinal cord to live in today's
world.
The five senses belong to the Peripheral Nervous System. They are
the skin,which is the largest organ in the body,located all over the body.

The Dangers Of Smoking
.... More than eight of every ten cases of lung cancer are caused
by smoking, and nine out of every ten victims die within five years.
Emphysema is a progressive respiratory disease characterized by
coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing, developing into extreme
difficulty in breathing, and sometimes resulting in disability and death.
In recent years, emphysema has become a serious public health problem.
Second hand smoke is also a serious problem. It contributes to
thousands of cases of lung cancer and heart disease in nonsmokers. More
than one hundred studies say second hand smoke can increase risks for
multiple health problem .....
