INTRODUCTION

This article introduces deer velvet antler, its origins and use, but more importantly velvet's beneficial clinical effects. The report combines traditional knowledge with modern science and describes velvet's use in a way that today's consumers can make informed decisions on the benefits of velvet for them.

HISTORICAL

The Chinese has used velvet antler for over 2000 years for its powerful health promoting properties. The first documented evidence of the use of deer antler velvet in China, as a health tonic has been dated back 168BC. Traditional Asian usage has been for the promotion of well being and prevention of illness.

WHAT IS DEER VELVET ANTLER?

Velvet antler is the growing stage of the horns borne on the heads of male members of the deer family. They are called velvet antlers during the phase of rapid growth and development because of the velvet-like covering of skin.

Velvet antler is living tissue that grows at a very fast rate of up to 2cm/day in some species. This means that cartilage, bone, and support tissues such as nerves, blood vessels and hair follicles must grow at this phenomenal pace. Velvet antler is the only mammalian organ that regenerates like this. This may be the reason for its powerful health benefits.

A RENEWABLE RESOURCE

Deer velvet antler is unique in that it grows each spring is cast in the late winter and is replaced the following spring by the same natural process. So velvet antler is not only a product unique in the animal kingdom but it can be considered as a renewable resource.

VELVET IN THE NEW AGE

From the growing antlers of deer comes a natural product with the potency and flexibility to safely benefit a great many people throughout the world. Although velvet antler's extraordinary properties were originally recognised in Asia, particularly China, its relevance to the lifestyle needs of the 21st century are becoming apparent. These needs transcend the barriers that separate Eastern from Western medicine. Perhaps it is better to use the words `lifestyle choices' rather than `lifestyles needs'. `Choices' implies a level of individual responsibility to conduct life in a manner that is self-directed. Lifestyle choice carries the further meaning of expressing individual preference on how to maintain and advance quality of life. Velvet antler can impact at several levels of quality of life. Research evidence supports treatment, restorative and protective roles. In addition, consumption of velvet antler can not only provide an immediate benefit, but also amplify and enhance long-term benefits.

Velvet antler is the health-promoting tonic that is right for our times.

It is easy to become confused by the many purported – and substantiated – benefits of taking velvet antler. It seems too good to be true, in Westerners eyes that a single product could benefit in so many different ways. It may be useful to simplify the many benefits and state what velvet doesn't appear to do. We have no evidence of anti-bacterial, anti-viral or anti-fungal activities of velvet. Velvet cannot `cure' by destroying active pathogens.

The actions of velvet are consistent with:

â?¢ restoration of normal body processes,

â?¢ strengthening of the body, possibly leading to mental and physical performance increases, and

â?¢ protection of the body.

In Asia these functions are considered as `tonics', but tonic is not an easy word to define in English and hence may have limited value. The benefits of velvet do not overlap with Western medicine but in many respects can be thought of as complementary. A good example is the use of velvet antler extract to mitigate the damaging side effects of anti-cancer drugs, while at the same time helping their effectiveness.

Product safety is another key issue for our times. Velvet antler has been consumed for at least 2000 years and no general toxicity or negative side effects are known. The fact that velvet has been used safely by young and old male and female alike for some 2000 years is evidence that velvet is a relatively safe preparation.

This is important because people conscious of their quality of life need this information to weigh up costs and benefits.

Velvet antler is a win-win product; safe to take yet known to be effective. It is a product in transition from an Asian medicine enshrouded in mystery to a functional supplement of benefit to East and West alike. Exciting possibilities for this product can eagerly be awaited – the current applications are but a glimmer of the future of velvet antler.

TRADITIONAL USE

The benefits of velvet that we are rediscovering were well known to the Chinese. It is unlikely that in even earlier times the shaman cultures of North Asia were familiar with medicinal plants and animals. So although the concept of medicinal animals may seem odd, given that we accept medicinal plants, historically medicinal animals have held an important place. In Europe, for example, bee venom was used as a treatment for arthritis until relatively recently. The development of velvet antler as a traditional medium has been greatest in China and there are many references in Chinese literature to the benefits of velvet.

The functions of velvet antler are many but all fall into the major categories of:

â?¢ general body strengthening,

â?¢ healing,

â?¢ promoting blood cell growth

â?¢ improving the immune system, and

â?¢ Influences cardiovascular function.

Recent research in China, Russian and New Zealand and Canada has added to this list and has provided modern research support for the traditional knowledge.

Traditional Chinese Medicine, while having curative functions, focuses on promoting wellness as a medical goal in itself. In both Chinese and Korean medicine velvet antler can be regarded as an effective promoter of health. This may be because the substances that promote rapid growth and regeneration of velvet are responsible for the tonic actions. Western medicine lacks a formal understanding of a tonic, but it is important for a potential user of velvet antler to accept the context in which to seek the benefits of velvet. In keeping with Chinese and Korean use of velvet these are overall strengthening of the body, healing and improving tissue function. View velvet antler as a powerful restorer and strengthener not a curative in itself. The mechanisms for this true tonic activity are as yet only poorly understood. In the future this list of benefits may lengthen.

Schizophrenia like any illness is due to an homeostatic imbalance, and can be considered on the far right on the bipolar-Schizo-affective disorder-schizophrenia spectrum.

The amount of neurotoxins {aspartame}, cancer causing chemicals{sacharin, fluoride} and chemicals that are more lethal that any street drugs are unfortunetly given to the mentally ill, as a former bipolar, I found the cure using alternative medicine alone, the following worked for me, and God-willing will work for you, I have modified it to suit your specific condition, by re-reading the books stated, let's begin:

‘They {the medical establishment} hate that word {cure}, like the devil hates holy water’
Dr. Royal Raymond Rife
===============================================
Intestinal Dysbiosis/Candida Overgrowth

‘All diseases begin in the gut’ Hippocrates 460-370BC

Mental illness starts not in the Brain but the Gut. Do you have digestive problems like colic, bloating, flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation, and malnourishment {are you very skinny and find it difficult to put on weight?}, and do you have a white/yellow-coating on your tongue? Do you suffer from frequent headaches, mood swings, depression, fatigue, and other symptoms related to ‘candida overgrowth?’

Read 'Gut And Psychology Syndrome' By. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, NMedSci{neurology}, MMedSci{nutrition}
This doctor, who has a clinic in Cambridge for treating mental illnesses like Autism, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, Depression, Schizophrenia, and Bipolar Disorder. Her son suffered from Autism, she found the cure and the root cause, and believes that all mental illness can be cured, that underlying these seemingly diverse labels, is a unified theory behind all mental illness, manifesting differently due to the type of psychological trauma, childhood experiences, personality and even influenced by activated genes. Although mental illness is not genetic, as you may have been told…

I found that my bipolar disorder was caused or worsened by Candida overgrowth or Candida Related Complex. You should consult a Naturopathic Doctor {not a homeopath, they're different}, a Nutritionist that has treated Schizophrenia before, and an orthomolecular medicine doctor.

Candida thrive on sugar, so Cut out all sugar, unstable/imbalanced blood sugar levels can cause depression and hyperactivity, replace table sugar with Xylitol {much more healthier and beneficial and tastes the same in the same portions! you wont notice too much of a difference, don’t go near NutraSweet or Aspartame, monosodium glutamate MSG - avoid like the plague}. Cut out stimulants like caffeine/coffee, and soda soft drinks.

S. Boulardii is a good probiotic that flushes out candida from the body. Look into Kefir Making, this home-made free probiotic drink in itself will bring you much improvement in your mental health and well being, all you need is Kefir Grains to get started, google ‘Kefir Making’ and look at Doms Kefir Making website, it tells you everything you want/need to know.

===============================================
Fasting & Detoxification

Do a detox fast a 3-day apple fast, only red/golden delicious apples, and fresh water, along with coffee enema's, this is all stated in 'Cure your acne in 3 days' but it works great for mental illness, many patients suffering from mental illness have bad skin according to one conventional website i was reading. Which laughingly went on to say this was also 'genetic'. This fast will help rid your body of the accumulated toxins affecting your brain, and kill a lot of Candida Yeast.

See the outlined 3-day fast here, although for acne, it will work for bipolar disorder also:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApSkpEDAvDkxo2PRN3DFZ7Tty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080709071408AAIc9×0&show=7#profile-info-D0W5kyt1aa

Recent studies have shown that Prozac {a popular antidepressant} has anti-fungal/candida properties, and inhibits its growth, this is due to Serotonin. Further, Sodium Valporate {used as a mood stabiliser} has been shown to stop the growth of harmful pathogenic microorganisms/worms in the gut. This is very interesting findings, as it supports that mental illness is due to problems in the gut or intestinal dysbiosis.

Go on the anti-candida diet. Source: 'The Yeast Connection' Book

Drink Alkali water, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to every litre of purified water you drink, this will prevent disease and reduce the growth of Candida. Source: Mr X Acne e-book

Look also into Gerson Therapy/Juicing, this has cured many diseases, not just cancer, it will cure mental illness. But start this after you have rid yourself of candida.

===============================================
Correcting Nutritional Deficiencies

-Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 3 supplements or Carlson’s Brand 2-3g per day has been shown in scientific studies to reduce mental illness significantly. Strictly, the brands mentioned as they are pure pharmaceutical grade, and are used in clinical trials, plus the Carlson’s Brand has added fat-soluble vitamins.
Google it to see the research with omega 3 and its remarkable effects on mental illness, yet more evidence that mental illness is due to nutritional deficiencies, which has been aggravated by Candida overgrowth/Intestinal Dysbiosis.

-EM Power Plus + by TrueHope, has been shown to be very effective, look at the testimonies on mcmillans BiPolar website. Personally i have not used this, as my current nutrition programs works great.

-A multivitamin/ mineral supplement in a bioavailable form, E.g . Higher Nature brand

SAMe - 400mg per day, this will boost your energy levels. And has been called the ‘instant antidepressant’, please have the histamine blood test done with the help of a mental-health orientated nutritionist, before taking this. If you are high-histamine {google it}, you will need to take methionine 1000-2000mg per day.

===============================================
Scientific Blood/Urine tests

The best way to pinpoint the exact imbalance, or imbalances, as mental illness is mot likely a myriad of conditions manifesting simultaneously, it is best to get blood tests to find out what the problem is:

Get blood tests, to test for:

- Histamine {high histamine is the cause of many Schizophrenia type symptoms, highly recommend this test}

- Pyroluria, http://www.kryptopyrrole.com/

- Allergies, Allergies to certain foods can cause psychological problmes/mental instability, the most common offenders are Milk, Gluten, Egg, Wheat in that order, try eliminating each one for atleast 72hours and see how you feel.

- Candida Comprehensive Stool test, or D-Mannitol Urine Test {best and most accurate, bu hard to find a lab/scientist that does this, as its new}

-Nutritional deficiencies/Nutritional profile

- Adrenal exhaustion,

- Homocysteine,

- Thyroid disorders, including Wilson's Thyroid disorder, although this involves monitoring youe body temperature immediately on waking, I think it should be above 97.5F, I am not sure, check this first/research.

- Heavy metal toxicity, Ever heard some on say his as 'Mad as a Shoe Maker', well shoe makers used to use harmful chemicals like mercury, lead which made them go mad. Heavy metals are in civil water supplies, and even bottled water, as well as from metal pans/cookware, this can accumulate in the body and cause mental illness, or even Alzheimer's disease.

Your nutritionist can arrange these test through a local lab, or you could open the yellow pages, get phoning to local naturopaths/nutritionist and finding a local lab and/or their assistance…Biolab in London does this.

===============================================
The Cure for Mental illness was Found Decades Ago!!!

Read Carl Pfeiffer's PhD book 'Nutrition and Mental Illness', he was a pioneer with orthomolecular medicine and cured many people of Schizophrenia, some say 5000 {Patrick Holford}.
The Brain Bio Centre in London continues his work, as does the one in Princeton US, although it is very expensive. And in my opinion you can recover and save the money if you read and search for the knowledge, although I know how difficult that can be.

Dr. Carl Pfieffer MD PhD cured bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, OCD and many other mental illnesses, 30 years ago, he used mega doses of vitamins/mineral to cure the patient, he claimed Schizophrenics had a genetic predisposition to be dificient of niacin. And Bipolars/Schizophrenics were High Histamine, which can be reduced by taking Vitamin C 1000 - 2000mg as Magnesium Ascorbate and and L-Methionine amino acid supplement.

Exercise as much as you can! especially in the morning, 30mins per day minimum, or Yoga, swimming, meditation, do something relaxing.

Take Coenzyme Q10 30mg to boost energy levels, when you feel tired, also SAMe.

==============================…
Knowledge is Power

Watch the videos on youtube.com, type in 'psychetruth' and watch the 'Nutrition by Natalie' videos especially.
==============================…
Why does my Doctor/Psychiatrist not know this?

Conventional medicine is crap at treating mental illness, alternative medicine has the answers. Just try it out first, regardless of what your Dr. will tell you. Just try it.

Psychiatrists make a lot of money from chronic life long mental illnesses, which they claim is genetic and incurable, which is a load of BS. Further drug companies make a lot of money from you; since most mental illness cannot be cured {according to the Doctors, since they are merely repeating what they learnt at med school} you have to stay on medication for a life-time {as maintenance}

Psychiatrists examine mental illness from various angles, although they are helpful, they do not address

So much is written about arthritis and you can get confused as to what causes arthritis and what arthritis treatments are effective. Arthritis is an inflammatory condition. This inflammation comes from infections. Infections come from a variety of conditions such as:

Bacteria, viruses, pathogens, yeast that you ingest or that is already in your body

Air pollution from cars or from your work environment

Un-natural food that you eat that is processed or irradiated

Food additives such as dyes, colorings, preservatives, enhancers, gases, sugar

Contaminants in your water such as fluoride, chloride and other substances

Stress from your work and home life

This small list gives you an idea of the many chemicals and emotional sources that can lead to infections in the body and result in arthritis. You can see that all of these sources are part of your regular diet and lifestyle. Now if you couple this with a weak immune system, you set the stage for some serious arthritis conditions. A weak immune system can not control and eliminate these infections so these infections can turn into serious inflammations.

Because of toxins and infections, there are very few people that will escape developing arthritis in their life time.

But for those of you that are health conscious and look to prevent various illnesses, here are some arthritis treatments and arthritis preventive measures.

Arthritis Treatment

The first step you need to take is to take daily antioxidants. You get antioxidants in the deep dark red, blue, black berries and other fruits. Pomegranate juice is one of the most powerful antioxidant juices and provides arthritis protection. Recently I have been using Purity Products Super Reds and New Vitality's Ruby Reds Powder. I put one scoop of powder in some apple juice or other juice and add a dropper full of green tree extract. This gives me a high dose of antioxidants to fight off the heavy dose of free radicals that I consume from the air, food, and thought. Remember free radicals attack tissue causing infections and inflammation in every part of your body.

These powders great taste and are good for the kids in the morning.

So now, if you add juicing to your morning habit, you will be adding high levels of antioxidants and in addition many minerals and vitamins that buildup your immune system. Use pineapple, alfalfa sprouts, and cantaloupe, apricot, cabbage, and cucumber juices. And, you can add a bit of ginger juice to gives you anti-inflammatory protection.

In a recent article, I wrote about Lion's Mane. Here you have a powerful immune system enhancer. It contains 3 Chinese mushrooms - Lion's Mane, Maitake, Reishi -that will buildup your immune system and in addition improve your memory. I have been using this for only a week and I can sense a slight improvement in my memory and how quickly words come into my thought as I express myself. Build up your immune system and this is a powerful arthritis treatment. You body will be able to fight of toxic matter and at the same time protect your joints from infection and inflammation.

This is just a start in dealing with pain and inflammation wherever it maybe in your body - in your joints, organs, or tissues. Use antioxidants and red powders to prevent inflammation. Use juices to give you minerals and vitamins to help improve your immune system. And then give yourself a powerful immune stimulator by take Lion's Mane. Now you have an arthritis treatment that can start protecting your joints and other parts of your body from arthritic infection and inflammation.

Cancer. It is constantly on the tips of our tongues, as we deal with this illness every single day. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to hear about its progress and the treatments that come along with such a sickness. Since it is one of the most common diseases, chances are we know at least a handful of people dealing with these types of cancers. While there are intense treatments that can prevent the cancer from spreading, many of these approaches are extremely difficult to handle. Chemotherapy and radiation, just two forms of treatments, are very painful and require an abundance of endurance.

Due to the fact that dealing with cancer requires a lot of strength and courage, it can be hard for patients to want to succumb to such treatments. After all, when we are in so much pain that we would rather die, is it worth going through all of these medical approaches? When many people realize that it may not even be effective, it can be frustrating to figure out what standpoint to have. Luckily, there are natural cancer treatments that can help aid the process.

Noni Juice may be a natural fruit juice for people who want to boost their immune system or alleviate joint pain, but it also is a phenomenon for cancer treatment. Since Noni Juice contains cancer fighting supplements, it can be extremely beneficial for someone in the beginning stages of cancer. In simpler terms, these nutrients break down the cancerous cells and eventually kill them. As a result, the immune system starts to build and white cells will accumulate. Surprisingly, patients can experience less pain in the midst of this treatment. Therefore, they can fight the cancer much easier, as they have more strength and courage to do so.

While every natural treatment is viewed as controversial, Noni Juice is actually effective. Since Noni products enhance cellular health, and completely halt the spreading of cancer, it can produce amazing results. For instance, if someone were in the beginning stages of Cancer and were afraid that it would spread, Noni Juice may actually prevent the cells from duplicating. This also means that it will prevent the cancerous tumor from enlarging.

Whenever we are faced with a life challenge such as Cancer, we immediately panic. We think that there is no hope for overcoming such a hurdle, and that we are likely to end up in the grave before a cure has been found. Although death rates for specific kinds of cancers are rather high, it does not mean that it will happen to you. By catching the illness early on, and undergoing treatment, it can help you take hold of your life. Noni Juice may not cure you 100%, but it will sure help you fight the disease. With the ability for it to prevent cancerous growth and spreading, it is a wonderful resource to have. Although there is no known cure for cancer at the moment, there are plenty of procedures and treatments that can eradicate the entire disease. Regardless of what you choose, Noni Juice is an additional supplement that you should try.

Abdominal pain is one of the common ill health that is found. But it should not be neglected as it may be dangerous to us in the future. This abdominal pain may be for a while or it may last long for some hours or days also.

More info meets: dr jack

Abdominal pain is the illness that is found in all. Sometimes this may cause due to the disorder of food or it may be any other cause also. But though this is a common one but it should be taken seriously as it may cause some threatening situations in the future. This is the pain that you suffer you may feel between your chest and groin. This is often referred to as the stomach region or belly. As there are different kinds of organs in this abdominal region the pain in any part of it can be called as abdominal pain. Sometimes the pain may occur severely that can be psychosomatic in nature that is it may be due to psychological reasons. Some patients who have this abdominal pain refer as stomach pain when they visit the physicians.
This abdominal pain is known with different names such as pain in abdomen, belly ache, abdominal cramps, acute abdomen, appendicitis, the pain which occurs during the menstrual time, epigastria pain, per umbilical pain, pelvic region pain, lower abdominal pain, right abdominal pain and many. It is cure with herbal and natural supplements

There are many organisms in the abdominal region. So pain from any part of it can occur and it includes the regions or organs like the stomach, the end of the esophagus, the small and the large intestine, the liver, the gallbladder, the pancreas, the aorta, the appendix, the kidneys. But the pain may originate in any part of the body from chest to the pelvic regions in this abdominal pain.

The intensity of the pain does not always reflect the seriousness of the condition causing the pain. The /www.drraomd.com/videos/index.html">abdominal pain can be from mild conditions which may be the gas or the cramping of viral gastroenteritis

Natural treatments have been around for 1000's of years with fewer to no side effects.

Why do doctors discredit natural medicine?
I’m not trying to defunct Rx medicine; there are some very good and needed drugs. If I am in need of an Rx I will take it, BUT… as a patient I would like to know all my options that are the most healthy and with the least amount of side effects.

Because there is little evidence that these things work. Rx drugs are put through a rigorous process to prove that they are safe and effective. Natural products are not. The manufacture of Rx drugs is highly regulated so that each tablet is the same and contains the same amount of drug. Natural products are not. We have examined and know the drug interactions for Rx drugs. We don't know the interactions for natural products.

Many of the herbals that are sold have little or know active ingredient. Many interact with prescription medications. Many have severe side effects but people don't know about them because they haven't been studied. Did you know that St. John's Wort decreases the effectiveness of birth control pills by 50%. Try finding that information on the bottle. I have seen patients die because they took herbal supplements. I have seen patients that have had transplanted organs rejected because their herbal supplements interacted with the rejection medications.

A lot of natural products have been used for years but don't actually do anything. There was a recent study done to prove that Echinacea helps colds but the study proved that Echinacea does nothing for colds (I found that amusing).

I believe that there is a lot of benefit in natural medicine but it HAS to be studied before it is used or it can do more damage than good.

People here mention the greed of the doctors and drug companies. Do you think that the people who make herbals are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts? They are in it to make money too. They don't tell you about the risk of herbals. They just make up claims of what they can do with absolutely no proof and they put lives in danger to make money. They are far worse than the doctors.

Another thing to consider, the average life-expectancy in the year 1900 (before modern drugs were around) was 47 year old. The average life-expectancy now is 77 years old because of modern medicine. Natural medicine may have been around but it obiously is not as effective or people would have lived just as long.

So if you really want to abstain from modern drugs and only use natural medicine, be my guest. I would just advise against making any long-term retirement plans because you probably won't live that long. Good Luck.

When you eat at a buffet, do you consume just about all the food you can and worry about acid reflux or heartburn later? I see it all of the time, just about every one I see at a buffet or even a company potluck, loads their plate with more food than they stomach can handle at one time.

The medical industry has brainwashed most people to believe that if you have heartburn or acid reflux, you have too much stomach acid and that this is the cause of heartburn. Then, then they use Tums or some other over the counter remedy to quench their upset stomach. Or if they are seeing a doctor, the doctor will prescribe a acid blocker drug.

The drugs - acid reducers or blockers - that doctors prescribe usually have a negative impact on your health. Your stomach must have an acid pH of 1.5 to 2.5. With acid blockers or reducers, your stomach pH can move to 3.0 and higher - this means less acidic. A pH of 3.0 or higher can lead to many health problems that you won't relate to your use to these blockers.

Heartburn, acid reflux or GED occurs when the Lower Esophageal Valve, LEV, opens when it shouldn't. When this happens some stomach acid and digested food slips back into the esophagus. This will give you a burning sensation, since the esophagus lining is not design to be exposed to acidic stomach contents

If you ever get acid reflux or heartburn, the burning sensation, stomach pain, bleaching, and discomfort will make you look for a heartburn treatment. Here is a list of eating patterns that you should follow, if you want to be free of heartburn. Or, if, you just want not to have stomach digestive problems.

Heartburn treatment with digestive enzymes

Just before you eat, take 2 - 3 digestive enzymes to help you digest your food. You don't want undigested food to stay in your stomach to long or it will decompose, create gas and turn into an acid source. And, if this undigested food gets into your colon, it can create colon cancer, if it occurs over many years.

Heartburn treatment with water

Limit the amount of liquid you drink when you eat. Drinking excess water dilutes your stomach acid and you need its low pH to digest your food. If you do drink liquid, use room temperature water, since cold water slows down your digestive process.

Heartburn treatment - eat less sugar

Limit your consumption of sugar when you eat. Sugar has no nutritional value and causes calcium to go out your urine. In addition, other minerals are used up during its digestion. For sure don't drink soda or other sweet drinks during your meals.

Heartburn treatment - watch how you eat fruit

After you eat, don't eat any fruit. Your stomach is busy digesting the food you just ate. Eating fruit will cause the fruit to remain in your stomach to long, waiting to be digested and will start decaying create gas, and will become acidic.

Heartburn treatment by using a good diet

Don't stuff yourself at the dinner table. When you eat to much food where you combine meat, carbohydrates, sugar, sodas, fats, and processed foods, the food your stomach cannot digest turns into acid. This acid creates gas and can put pressure on a weak LEV causing it to open.

A weak LEV can be cause by eating too much acid food. It can be caused by mixing to many different foods during a meal. A balanced diet, which contains alkaline and acid food keeps your LEV strong and will not open when you occasionally eat more food than you should.

These are just a few heartburn treatments that can help you keep heartburn free. Your stomach needs strong acid to digest your food. Using acid reducers or blockers like Tums or other medication goes against the nature of your stomach. Without an acid stomach, you will become susceptible to a numerous diseases and a weak LEV valve.
