If there is not a lot of actual evidence in the family archives, many will use such web sites as myheritage.com to help them on their way. However, there is another important aspect to tracing your family history that you might not have thought of.
That is your family's medical history because this could hold vital information ...

Women are well aware of mammogram but perhaps not so of thermograms. And yet, thermograms are safer, painless, more efficient and don't radiate you. Sadly, mammograms expose your body to doses of radiation that can even be up to 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray. And remember that this x-ray techonogy is cumulative so it builds up in your tissue. Thermography, using a different method, sees the "heat" generated by any developing growth long before it shows ...

Since their introduction in many parts of the USA in the past couple of years, smart meters using wireless technology have sparked much debate with the main concern being that continual exposure to the radiation generated by this technology could cause harm to our health in much the same way as the continued use of mobile phones.

Bioresonance testing on a Bio-Resonance machine is becoming an increasingly popular alternative health diagnostic tool. When someone is tested via this method, the operator uses it to tune into the magnetic field around the body to check for imbalances on a phyical, emotional and psychic level. The most important assessment from this testing is the person's “vitality reading” which is the body's ability to heal itself. This is checked on a scale of 35. A healthy person will come in ...

Although most of us will carry at least one scar (however small and often dating back to our childhood), scars on the face can be distressing. These may be from an accident or an injury but acne is a major cause of facial scarring. Other reasons for facial scars could be the removal of moles or skin tags by excising. Depending on their severity, it may be possible to remove or lessen the appearance of these facial scars. Even though they ...

Healing loss can creep up so slowly that you just may not realize that you are affected. In fact you could be the last person to know as it is often the case that friends, co-workers or family members spot the problem before you do. Sounds like birdsong, footsteps or leaves rustling in the wind are often the first sounds to fade away and not be heard any more by someone with hearing loss.
Of all the five senses, our hearing ...

Baby monitors are such an everyday convenience to moms and dads, that perhaps no one gives a second thought about whether they are actually safe for your baby. In the old days, parents would spend half their evening listening out for sounds of their baby waking up and often it was only when the baby reached the screaming stage, that they actually heard them. And of course the bigger the house, the bigger the problem.
Currently, there is a ...
