Every month, we are going to try to bring you something informative within five topics:

Women Men Children Sex Nourishment(Okay - FOOD)

This month's features are on Chlamydia, Coffee, Cancer(Men), PMS. All information will be gathered from various websites, with the accompanying link back to the full article. We also have a special article by Mahogahni, "Those tips and things they say I shouldn’t say, . . . about pregnancy and children . . ." Enjoy.

Coming soon, we will have information on going natural - what it means, and breaking it down from food to money to hair. With life and health some where down the line will come "religion" and yes, we'll dabble in that too (We will remain neutral on whatever information we post on this site, due to recent events, we want to make sure when we evolve to that level we let anyone and everyone have a light. There are many of us out there who are still searching and finding, and if we can help you rise, we rise.). SO BE PATIENT please! The Huerizon is in the 9th cycle of manisfestation ready for Mahogahni and her crew to set it free.

Oh, and don't be stank - women don't just read the women info and vice versa. Alright?

PMS - Fact Or Fiction?

"You feel cranky, icky, just plain yucky - so of course, it's PMS, right? Many women swear they suffer as their period approaches. Yet a new study shows that for many women, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. They expect to feel bad, so they do." ("PMS: Fact or Fiction - Women Swallow Too Many Negative Media Messages, Says Study" Jeanie Davis MSN Health)

Did you know?

Chlamydia is still the #1 sexually transmitted disease? Even though it has a simple cure, this silent burner can strike any and everybody.

Why?

A recent article by Daniel DeNoon, says that "Three out of four infected women - and one in two infected men - don't get early symptoms . . . Two out of five infected women will go on to develop inflammatory disease, or PID. PID means infertility 20% of the time; debilitatin chronic pelvic pain 18%; and life threatening tubal pregnancy 9% of the time." AND YES MEN!!!! It can make you sterile.

SO STRAP IT!! Even if you've been in a "monogamous" relationship for awhile, still get tested, the other person could have brought it into the relationship without symptoms.

What are the symptoms?

Men - discharge from the penis, burning during urination, swollen testicles. Women (remember - we may not notice early symptoms) - can cause bleeding between periods, painful urination or intercourse, vaginal bleeding after intercourse, low - grade fever, frequent urge to urinate, inflamed cervix, abnormal discharge that may smell.

You know, men are getting pap smears now?

I know that line will make you have a second glance, so know you're reading don't stop just because . . . that option is mainly for gay males to check for Anal Cancer.

However, men, you need to be aware of colon, prostate, testicle, and penile cancer also. And if your father had one of these forms of cancer. You need to start screenings . . . 10 years before the age he was diagnosed. So if he got it at 50, you start at 40.

So what can you do to protect yourself? What you should already be doing . . . eating healthy, excersizing, staying out of the direct sun, and not smoking.

the half life of caffeine in the average adult is roughly three and a half hours

within an hour, caffeine reaches peak concentration in the brain

smoking doubles the rate of caffeine metabolism

a cup of coffee has between 100 and 250 milligrams of caffeine

caffeine blocks the action adenosine, a neuro-modulator that makes you sleepy

mean and women process caffeine differently, with the concentration in women sometimes twice as much as men

the first coffeehouses appeared in England around 1676

we should call coffee an "aromatic infusion of vegetable matter" from now on
