The U.S. government is encouraging farmers to spread a chalky waste from coal-fired power plants on their fields to loosen and fertilize soil.
The material is produced by power plant “scrubbers” that remove acid-rain-causing sulfur dioxide from plant emissions. The substance is a synthetic form of the mineral gypsum, and it also contains mercury, arsenic, lead and other heavy metals.
The Environmental Protection Agency says those toxic metals occur in only tiny amounts. But some environmentalists say too little is known about how the material affects crops, and ultimately human health.

Acupuncture Orlando may have your solution if you are one of the millions afflicted by a chronic pain condition. In a treatment that is thousands of years old, you may find the answer to your suffering.
Many forms of pain may result. Resulting from trauma and surgery, you will suffer from back pain, joint pain, headaches, and pain. They are seeking alternatives to help alleviate their suffering without further risking their health as people become more aware of the negative side effects of pain medication. Acupuncture is among the most successful natural methods of relieving pain. For over 3500 years, acupuncture has been used effectively. More than any other treatment known to man, it is said that throughout history, acupuncture has been performed on humans.
Does acupuncture clear your pain? Ancient Chinese medical theories contend that pain is symptom caused by blockages in the flow of energy through the body. Illness, injury, poor diet and even negative emotions can result in blockage. When the acupuncture needles are inserted, the blockage is removed and energy can flow freely as it should. The pain is eliminated once the energy flows. It is a safe, natural and effective form of treatment for people who have suffered many years with chronic pain, if performed by a trained and licensed Orlando acupuncturist. Acupuncture is an effective treatment method for many conditions and is now recognized by the World Health Organization. In the battlefield, even the United States Government is utilizing acupuncture to manage pain. Auricular (ear) acupuncture is providing soldiers with immediate and lasting pain relief from injuries.
What types of pain can be alleviated by acupuncture? A wide number of painful conditions can be treated with acupuncture according to modern medical studies. Tendonitis, back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, neck pain, migraines and headaches, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, heel pain, menstrual pain, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, diverticulitis, and pain from gout are some of the more common ailments that respond to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chinese Medicine can treat a very diverse spectrum of disorders.
If a person in Orlando has never had acupuncture, they probably wonder whether it is painful. In both children and adults, needle phobia is very common. With new patients, it is one of the biggest hurdles that acupuncture physicians must overcome. Acupuncture uses a very tiny needle. When a needle has been inserted, in most cases, a patient does not even know. What they feel rather, is the needle drawing energy from the acupuncture point. You will feel a tingle, pull, or pressure during this procedure. A medical syringe pinching your skin is much worse.
There is still hope for those that just can’t bear the thought of any needle coming close to their body. Most acupuncturists in Orlando currently use electric stimulation and/or lasers in their treatments. Without the use of any needles, it is possible to stimulate the acupuncture points and eliminate your pain with these tools.
The use of Chinese medicinal herbs to speed recovery time even more is used in addition to needles, like a classically trained acupuncture physician. The nature of the condition determines what different herbs are used. Helping millions of people, these herbs have been used in the clinical setting for thousands of years.
Millions of people suffer from a condition causing chronic pain; if you are one of these and you are not finding relief, look for an acupuncturist in Orlando who is licensed and board certified. You deserve good health. You deserve a life that doesn’t hurt. The answer you have been searching for could be acupuncture.

By Master Herbalist Susie Ransom
Migraine headaches have plagued me most of my life. When I was happy, when I wasn’t happy, when I ate well, when I ate wrong, when the sun shone, when it was cloudy, I would get miserable headaches. Nothing takes the fun out of going for a summer drive with your family, when you know you’ll come home with a headache and spend the rest of the day in bed. I looked for some common denominator that would explain why these headaches would come on, but I couldn’t seem to find an answer.
