Drink More Water to Reduce Stress Says Chinese Medicine Practitioner on Sharon Kleyne Hour

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) June 19, 2014

Psychological stress can cause the human body to lose water and become dehydrated and diseased. Conversely, physical dehydration, or loss of water, can cause psychological stress. Because of the complex relationship between stress and water, any treatment for dehydration or stress must include drinking more water, reported Chinese Medicine Practitioner and presidential appointee Effie Chow, PhD, during her June 16, 2014 interview on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water radio show.

Effie Chow was born in China and grew up in a traditional family. After moving to the United States, she became a registered nurse. Although she supported Western medical practice, she concluded that Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly Qi-Gong, had enormous potential value in maintaining health. Chow is Founder of the East-West Academy of Healing Arts in San Francisco, has authored several books, and in 2000, served on President Clinton’s White House Conference on Complimentary and Alternative Medicine.

The globally syndicated Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water® radio show, with host Sharon Kleyne, is heard on VoiceAmerica and Apple iTunes. Kleyne is Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research, a fresh water, atmosphere and health research, and product development center. Natures Tears® EyeMist®, a 100% pure water mist, is the Research Center’s global signature product for dry eyes. Effie Chow is a frequent Sharon Kleyne Hour guest.

In the traditional Chinese healing discipline of “Qi-gong,” according to Chow, water is one of the “Five Elements of Life.” The others are earth, fire, wood and metal. Qi-Gong philosophy teaches that each element controls a different part of the body and a different emotion, and that water is the element that integrates all other elements and prevents dehydration. The organs most directly affected by water are the kidneys and bladder.

The words “Qi-gong,” Chow explains, mean “life force.” Since life on Earth can not exist without water, and since human bodies are 75 percent water, water is recognized in Qi-gong as the basis not only of all life but of the essential life force that sustains life.

A large percentage of her patients, says Chow, show symptoms of both emotional stress and physical dehydration in addition to their health complaints. Kleyne adds that the aging process is basically a dehydration process – the skin becomes thin and dry, the mouth produces less saliva, the eyes produce fewer tears, etc. Chow and Kleyne agree that increasing one’s daily water intake can significantly slow the aging process. Kleyne cautions that no two people are alike, we each have different water needs, and we all age differently.

Chow recommends drinking four glasses of water upon rising in the morning and Kleyne recommends drinking at least eight glasses per day in addition to all other fluid intake.

Traditional Chinese Medicine, according to Chow, always includes looking at the general health of the whole body and finding out what’s going on in the patient’s life. If the patient complains of a cold, Kleyne adds, the practitioner can treat the cold symptoms but should also investigate whether the patient’s lifestyle might be making them more susceptible to colds. Dehydration can increases susceptibility to colds and many other diseases.

Qi-gong teaches that the body is a microcosm or the Earth and the Universe, Chow explains. The body even has its own humid atmosphere, says Kleyne.. If the body dries out, the skin reacts the same way the skin of the Earth reacts – the surface dries up, life slows down, and it takes much longer for disturbances to repair themselves. Disturbances in both the body and in the Earth’s ecosystems have a domino effect that can result in many additional unintended disturbances.

And the cure could be as simple as an extra glass of water each day.

STEALTHbits Says Importance of Data Governance and Controlling Access to Unstructured Data is Validated and Elevated with Competitor’s Pending IPO

Hawthorne, NJ (PRWEB) November 06, 2013

STEALTHbits Technologies, an industry leader in Data & Access Governance solutions for Unstructured Data, congratulates competitor Varonis Systems on the company’s pending IPO, after their Form S-1 filing with the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2013. As indicated in the filing, a study performed by the International Data Corporation (IDC) estimated the markets Varonis is aligned to (including Business Intelligence and Analytics and Identity and Access Management) represent a total aggregate spend of approximately billion, based upon 2012 figures – a substantial chunk of a large security solutions market. Varonis Systems, as well as competitors like STEALTHbits Technologies and Dell Software (although Symantec Corporation was listed as the lone competitor in the S-1 filing) specialize in and have been promoting the importance of governance over Unstructured Data repositories for years. With data breach events on the rise and in the wake of high-profile breaches like the NSA, the need for governance over access to corporate data, particularly within less secure, difficult to manage data repositories like File Systems and popular collaboration technologies like SharePoint, has never been greater.

“We were a little disappointed and puzzled that they failed to mention us, as well as other direct competitors and alternatives to Varonis in the filing,” said Steve Cochran, founder and CEO of STEALTHbits Technologies. “However, we’re excited about the awareness the IPO is bringing to the problems around unstructured data and the considerable security threat organizations face daily in trying to control the chaos. Analyst firms figure over 80% of the data within corporations is unstructured, and we can tell you from experience it’s the absolute hardest to understand and manage. The File System is the ‘Wild West’ in most companies today. The access model is broken, the scale is monumental, and the threats are largely unknown.”

The problems are plentiful for organizations looking to clean-up and simplify access to unstructured data, ranging from highly complex IT infrastructures to pure accumulation of data, aging technologies, heterogeneous security models, and more. In the short-term, businesses desiring to mitigate their risk and security threat surface with concern to unstructured data should be looking to Varonis competitors and alternatives like STEALTHbits for affordable, scalable, and pragmatic technologies and solutions. Informed buyers will know that addressing and controlling access to unstructured data is not only difficult and will come with a fair degree of challenge, but something that is unique to every organization – so one size won’t fit all.

If you felt like the only thing missing from this summer’s well-received “Predators” was a cameo by the definitive kicker of dread-locked-alien behind, one Arnold Schwarzenegger, you’re not alone. While promoting the “Predators” DVD release at New York Comic Con, Adrien Brody — the man who did a stellar job assuming Arnie’s mantel as premier alien destroyer — told MTV News that he also felt there was a distinct lack of Schwarzenegger in the franchise reboot. “I was hoping he would be in this film,” Brody said. “It would have been great. I really was hoping.” As you may have guessed, Schwarzenegger was a bit busy being governor of California, so that never happened. That didn’t stop filmmakers from writing Schwarzenegger — who played a commando named Dutch in the 1987 original — into the script, however. “There was a version we were going to do that had a different ending that it really would have been fitting for Schwarzenegger to be there,” Brody said. “It would have been like him passing the gauntlet to my character… and the bravery of my character proven. That would have been just epic.” We agree, and we’re crossing our fingers that the rumored “Predators” sequel remedies that Ahnuld deficiency.
