5 Reasons Why Now May Be a Once In a Lifetime Chance to Buy a Home
Filed under: Market Comentary
In almost every major U.S. housing market today, it has become cheaper to buy than rent. While there is no guarantee that home prices will not continue to drop and clearly we have not yet escaped our economic downturn, there are a series of indicators which may point to now as being the "perfect storm" of home buying.
Consider these factors:
Mortgage Rates Are At Their Lowest Levels in 50 Years
This news won't surprise anyone. It has been the topic of discussion for the past year in all real estate circles. At today's rates, it literally is often less expensive to buy than rent. The rental market has been extremely active in past months and given increased rents, low mortgage rates, depressed home values, and the mortgage interest deduction, buying now makes sound fiscal sense.
The Mortgage Interest Deduction Appears to Be Here to Stay
Despite continual talks of tax reform, both the Obama and Romney campaigns appear to be committed to maintaining the tax deduction on mortgage interest- especially for the middle class. Strong real estate lobbyists and the extreme popularity of this deduction with the general public make it unlikely that the current situation will be changed.
Home Prices are Cheap But Appear to Be Past the Bottom
In many areas across the country, prices have begun to rebound and are inching back up. While it is doubtful that we will see the double-digit appreciation years that followed our new millennium, a steady upward trend is not unrealistic for the next decade.
Economic Recovery Almost Always Leads to Increased Home Prices
The recessions in the 1970's and 1980's were both followed by seven year periods during which home prices escalated approximately 20%. This recession resulted in a larger drop in home prices and will likely take longer for significant recovery, but history dictates that a stronger economy will lead to the appreciation of home values.
Inflation Looks to Be Inevitable
Very recently, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced a decision to begin a third round of "quantitative easing". This effectively means they are going to print more money. The result is a decrease in the value of the dollar and an increased chance of eventual inflation that would greatly boost the prices of tangible assets, especially houses. There are multiple factors at play but in essence, more money in circulation translates into higher prices.
Quite honestly, this "perfect storm" situation we find ourselves in is the result of severe economic downturn. While we can not be certain that we will never see a worse economic crisis in our lifetimes, we definitely hope against it. If our wishes do come true, it definitely creates a "Once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity now for home buyers.
Would love to hear your comments!

Gastrointestinal cancers such as pancreatic, bile duct and liver cancers are plagued by ineffective systemic therapies underscoring the tremendous unmet need for novel therapies. The Carpizo Laboratory studies cancer biology with an emphasis on developmental therapeutics. Our studies range from early drug discovery projects to translational studies of novel therapies that are about to enter or just have entered into clinical trials. These translational studies employ a variety of experimental systems including mouse cancer models, patient derived tissues as well as therapeutic clinical protocols.
Another major avenue of research in the Carpizo lab is the study of cancer metastasis and dormancy. Most solid organ cancers (i.e. breast, lung, pancreas) are treated with surgery when it appears that the disease has not spread to distant organs. This is highly effective (curative) for a number of tumor types such as breast, prostate, and thyroid cancer. However, for a number of gastrointestinal cancers such as pancreas, liver and bile duct cancer, surgery is relatively ineffective as the majority of these patients go on to suffer metastatic recurrence. This means that at the time of the surgery, they harbor disseminated tumor cells in their bodies that for a period of time after surgery remain dormant. We want to understand what the molecular mechanisms that control cancer dormancy are, what awakens these cells and how can we devise therapies that either maintain the dormant state, or drive the cells into senescence.

Alia on Vogue: (Un)Covered
In a Gucci, Alia covers the September issue. Love the rich berry tones; she looked good on the cover! But wouldn't it have been refreshing to see a young, edgy vibe given the rather young actress herself versus the more mature route that was taken?
Also, we mean this as no diss to Ms. Bhatt but, we are rather taken aback by Vogue's decision to put her on its September Issue. Everybody in fashion (and with an interest in fashion) knows of the importance of September issues and the prestige its covers hold. And to then give this particular cover to a (movie) debutant with no body of previous work surprises us. It may have been a coup for Vogue to have her on its cover first, but wish it didn't have to be Sept. Guess 'SOTY' (her upcoming movie) has a brilliant marketing team.
As long as we are on things that surprise us… How come Neha Dhupia hasn't gotten any covers yet?

Rooftop – On any Sunday
Up on top of the roof of gr/eats, there's an owl. I know people who like owls, collect them, and so on. But would they want this one? It's probably super vintage. I wondered what the glass cup is all about? Sake? Was it some kind of Shinto offering?
See that metal thing? This morning we had to fix it which meant, take the whole thing off and work with it. My dad got some new bearings for it, and had to replace it. My dad estimates that this "blower" is about 50 years old. A new one might be $800, and the bearings itself were over $100. Eventually it'll have to be replaced, but for now, it works. It's also amazing how things were or are made. This blower had to be completely dissected just to change the bearings. I'm sure new ones would be made with a little more planning, even though a lot of car engines have this same problem. Need to change a gasket? It's possible it'll take all day just to reach a $5 part.

3 Reasons Why I Refuse to See "Magic Mike"
- Just looking at the IMDb page for the "Parents Guide" makes this movie seem like a major motion porno. This is the very first entry (highlight to read): "A bedroom scene includes a married couple (the man is bare-chested and the wife's bare breasts are shown) when another man and woman enter the room (they are clothed); the clothed woman lies in bed with the husband, who tells the other man to touch his wife's breasts, he does so and the two men tell each other they love each other like brothers while the wife strokes the other woman's outer thigh."
- Any woman who has ever complained that Hollywood only uses thin, plastic, over-groomed women in movies which sets a standard for every other woman to also look like that and sees this movie now looks like a hypocrite. How can you say that you support the use of real, diverse forms of beauty and give the makers of this film your money? Although not as common as in women there are men who suffer from eating disorders and even more who have body image issues. In a movie that declares to the world "perfect girls night out movie" it tells men that those body types are the ones that women crave. Just as every girl got upset at how the boys all drooled over Megan Fox leaning over a car's engine in "Transformers"–how do you think it makes the guys feel to see every gal flocking to the theaters to drool over the male strippers?
- It is genuinely no better than going to an actual strip club. That is basically what this movie is offering. The ability to experience a strip club without being inside of one. What's the difference, really? Worried about someone seeing you leave the club? Well people will see you leave the theater. Worried about sanitary conditions? How clean do you think theater seats actually are? How about moral implications? It's absolutely the same! Whether you're lusting after a man on the screen or a dancer in front of you, it is no different.
I know this comes off preachy–the title of the post should have warned you it would be–but I honestly think we are better than movies like this. Maybe not as a society…at least not yet…but as individuals we are better than this.
Reactions to "Superman" (1978)
It has been a while since I've posted–and even longer since I have watched the original "Superman". So since I have time and nothing else to discuss I'll give another reactions post a chance! (Note: I missed the first 10 minutes of the movie.)
- Even in other planets fathers try to live through their sons.
- Wow, so the planet is breaking up, ceiling is falling in, and the mother backs away from the part that is falling–which happens to be right over her baby. Some mother she is.
- Is it really wise to surround your infant in a vehicle of sharp crystals?
- It's kinda creepy how much the Kryptonians knew about us.
- Why is it always farmers or a farming community? No wonder people are suspicious of those who live in the sticks! They're hiding aliens!
- Um…can they show that on tv?? Again, some mother! can't even clothe her child.
- WHAT? This woman needs psychological help! She wants to just take him in and not even look for his parents?
- You can tell this is the sixties. "Oh, Brad." How about "Brad, you're such a [bleep] jerk! Keep your [bleep] hands off me!"
- He has to doggy paddle to run?
- That's Lois!?! Cradle robber.
- Lies! He totally meant to show off.
- Wow. Just living with an alien for a couple of years SERIOUSLY ages you.
- Great, Clark. You had to show off again and you killed your dad.
- Creepy! Why would you steal a flower from your father's grave and give it to your mother? It seems a little Oedipal if you ask me.
- What? Isn't that Kryptonite? How can he hold it?
- Why exactly does he have to leave? Why north?
- Litterer!
- Actually that's highly irresponsible of Clark. He has no idea what that alien substance could do to our planet.
- Again, another indication his mother was awful. Did she leave a message for him? No. Or maybe he just didn't find the right crystal message thingy.
- Why is his head getting bigger??
- 12 years? He must be really hungry! Also, were there any potty breaks?
- Where did he get the fancy pajamas? If there are no potty breaks then surely they didn't go shopping!
- I find it a tiny bit insulting that to "fit in" he makes himself appear so weak.
- Why can't he send the money himself?
- Oo the evil Finger of Beckoning!
- Rip off the lady's purse? What are you going to do? Sell it cheap leather conditioner at 5 times the price?
- He's trying to be inconspicuous by being extremely weak, but then he's going to say exactly what's in her purse? C'mon Kent!
- Good dog!
- Don't they need a ticket to board?
- O.o
- How can she live with him? I guess you have to take the bad with the baubles.
- Lois could really use spellcheck!
- Can't elevators do both?
- He's right. That is a bad outfit. Primary colors, really?
- Underwear on the outside?? I mean who does he think he is? Quailman?
- And why does he need a belt to hold his underwear up? Hmm??
- The way the glass is shaking on the building's windows…I call fake!
- So all of the sudden he does nothing about crime and he's going to start now because of a little helicopter incident? I guess you have to start somewhere, but it'd be nice if he had gotten that rapist about whom Lois was writing.
- What an inconvenience for the city! Really? Really did he have to put the boat in the street??
- Does he really have to push his fist forward to fly? I mean what did the air ever do to you that you must punch it?
- And still no word from his mother.
- Why would Otis stay with him?
- Well that was subtle Clark.
- Eww..did she just ask if he pooped regularly?
- Why would he reveal that? Hey everybody, I can't see through lead!
- Hussy! Asking him to look at her panties!
- Ok if a personage were to fly someone, don't you think he should have a better grip on his cargo? Here, let me just push on your shoulders and grab onto your arm.
- At the speed at which they are traveling wouldn't she be a little less wobbly?
- Hmm is that symbolic of woman's dependence upon man? Once she gains a little independence she drops out of the sky.
- Wait. She had a date with Clark and the Man of Steel? Tut tut tut.
- Do you think Otis is really dimwitted or he just acts that way so he can do stuff like that to Lex?
- I don't understand how they just know it'll kill him.
- Illogical car crash. How could her body have landed like that?
- Also, illogical–men would stay behind to guard the missile.
- So Lois just happens to be in the west when Luther is?
- Ok why did he go to the trouble of the revolving door earlier when he can just poof into his uniform?
- What's it gonna cost the city to fix that!?!
- How is it they're already back in NY?
- Can you sue Superman?
- But then where would you make your movies, Gene?
- How does he know that he couldn't stop them? Superman hasn't been timed before.
- Their pool is mislabeled
- You can't "get it on with the good guys" because you want riches and "good" and "rich" don't often go together.
- This is why you never invest in bridges. The Earth shakes a little bit, expensive wires snap, and somebody always has to make a point of driving over the edge expecting you to save them.
- What no "thank you" for turning off the power? Or for saving your life?
- They must have hired her for her ability to scream.
- Really this movie isn't about Superman–it's let's see how much we can do exactly to Lois before her heart gives out.
- If this were Disney, she would have woken then.
- Now he's really angry with the air.
- Illogical. Time isn't dependent on the Earth's rotation to move forward. If anything, he just screwed up the rest of the world making the Earth change direction like that.
- So did all those people he helped while Lois died–are they dead now?
- In a world that doesn't realize someone with glasses on is the same person, how could they have hoped to catch a man who wears a wig?
The End!
What's Trending
I don't mean that in the Twitter sense. Below you will find my 3 pertain to subjects that I have recently delved into for many an hour.
- Movies: I've recently gotten into watching as many movies as I can. I spent nearly an entire day on TMC watching a collection of movies directed by Ernst Lubitsch. The majority of the movies shown had wonderful banter and charming characters. According to IMDb "…[Lubitsch] took up serious subjects and spiced them with elegance, sophistication, cynicism and witty lines – [His trademark] became known as "the Lubitsch Touch." (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0523932/bio) With a combination such as that it is no wonder that I enjoyed the movies. Of his that I've seen and can recommend are "The Shop Around the Corner" (which is what "You've Got Mail" is based upon), "To Be or Not to Be"–a tale of actors taking on the Gestapo, and "Ninotchka"–in which a loyal Communist Russian falls for a lighthearted Frenchman. If I had to choose one to recommend, it would be "To Be or Not to Be" because you've probably already seen "You've Got Mail" and you don't have to wait long at all for the quick wit to begin. Other movies genres that have appealed to me are foreign films with subtitles such as "Sophie Scholl: The Final Days" and "Amelie" and ones about the British monarchy/upper class as portrayed in "Young Victoria" and "The Duchess." The films with subtitles I find help me be less fidgety and force me to focus on the story. The historical dramas capture me as they show a world focused on strict decorum, extravagant clothing, and often for me an inside smile on how the husband curses his wife for being incapable of producing a male heir when he is the one to blame. N.B. Please review ratings before viewing–especially with children
- Baking: Although I haven't had as much time (or money or mouths) to focus on this one as I have the first, I have enjoyed my experiments with "how-to's" that I've found online and trying them in the kitchen. For my husband's birthday I made a rainbow-marbled cake and it turned out quite nicely. All you do is make the cake according to directions, but before you put the batter in the pan divide it into several bowls and add whatever food coloring you desire. Then pour the bowls one by one into the pan and try to spread the color evenly. It won't bake in straight lines of color, but rather it will marble itself. It looks fantastic when it's been cut.
- Eragon: I'm currently on the third book of the Inheritance trilogy, Brisingr, and I'll be perfectly honest–I have no idea if "Inheritance" should be in quotes or underlined, but I'll go with the whole if-it-sits-on-a-shelf-you-underline-it rule. Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr are a tale about a boy finding a dragon and the two of them learning the responsibility of their friendship as well as growing up and trying to stay alive along the way. It is a well thought series that I believe can be enjoyed by anyone of any age–although younger kids my not want to sit still long enough for the hundreds of pages in each book. My only qualms with the books are that I've noticed some mistakes editing has missed and sometimes a few of the names can be confusing as to who is actually involved so I have to stop and reread or even once compare a name with another to see if it was the same person or not. I'm on page 155 of Brisingr and hopefully by the time I finish I can spell that without having to check every time. Oh and I hear the book-to-movie is awful with over 50 differences from the book and film. So, if you enjoy the series, don't watch the movie–apparently it's almost as bad as Ella Enchanted was. (Note Ella Enchanted is underlined because I will never refer to the blasphemous "interpretation" of the book when I can focus on the glorious book instead. Another rant for another time.)
This weekend we are going to look at some houses! YAY! So maybe next post I'll do some more selling don'ts.

As I write this, I'm keenly aware that communication is one of the most common, and perhaps most difficult, things we do. That's why I was both humbled and heartened when I read about Naoki Higashida's book The Reason I Jump on Biographile today.
The book is described as a "stunningly clear-eyed look into the experiences of a boy with autism." But, as explained in the review, many of the themes Higashida addresses in his book, "reveal truths about communication and connection that all humans should contemplate."
In the Biographile interview, Higashida, who was 13 when he wrote the book, describes hard-to-grasp, prickly concepts such as communicating with compassion, and why good communication is hard work but worth the effort, with bell-like clarity. I cannot wait to get my hands on the book.
From the review:
Some people tend to assume that individuals with all kinds of disabilities have a less than mature understanding of language. But in many cases, even when speech and language production are impaired, understanding is not. Higashida explains to readers that baby talk is disheartening for him to hear as a young man. He encourages people not to talk down to people with autism, or anyone. "True compassion is about not bruising the other person's self respect," he writes, revealing not only an expert command of language but also wisdom beyond his years.
To share his experiences and his fiction with the world, and even to communicate basic needs to his family and caretakers, he painstakingly spells out the words on alphabet grids while others transcribe. He admits learning to communicate independently was hard work and at times, he felt "utterly beaten" by the process. But, Higashida reminds us, "to live my life as a human being, nothing is more important than being able to express myself […] it's about getting across to other people what I need and what I need them to understand."
Holly MacCormick is a writing intern in the medical school's Office of Communication & Public Affairs. She is a graduate student in ecology and evolutionary biology at University of California-Santa Cruz.

Happy Monday, friends!
I was traveling all last week in North Carolina and was away from the internets. Can we talk for a minute about how awesome it is that typepad let's you schedule posts in advance? Really awesome, I say!
Anyhoozy, between the travel excitement, readjusting to West coast time, and filming my first video with the Spring ladies (it's up tomorrow! Very exciting!), I neglected to tell y'all about a giveaway of one of my prints!
{Don't you worry, there's still time!}
Michelle Ward, my life coach extraordinaire, is offering a ginormous giveaway featuring 5 different prize sets, and my Petunia is included. Isn't she lovely? (Michelle, not Petunia...although, yes, I think Petunia is quite lovely too.)
The drawing is tomorrow, folks, so be sure to click on over to Michelle's blog and leave a comment to be entered. I'd be tickled if one of you won it! For realsie.

Here's a somewhat familiar story. The names here have been changed to prevent awkwardness.
Rhett Butler Public Relations, a New York consumer product PR agency earning about $3 million in net fee revenues, was acquired by the Millard Fillmore Group headquartered in San Francisco. Fillmore is an agency on the rise and nets $30 million with a core client group in most niches except for consumer products.
The Fillmore Group decided to go the acquisition route. Its vision was to establish a foothold in New York, where it wasn't currently represented, and to get into the consumer product category to extend its service bandwidth. It identified the Butler firm as an opportunity to accomplish both goals.
Through a facilitator like me (in fact, it may have been me) the principals of the two firms met a number of times before both parties felt that the situation was right.
Terms were drawn up, negotiations ensued and an agreement was reached. Butler was going to be the New York platform for Fillmore and both parties were ecstatic. The synergies were apparent, the culture was compatible and the chemistry between the principals was excellent. The acquiring firm submitted legal documents, lawyers played their role in dotting the Is and crossing the Ts and the deal was done. Employees of both organizations were briefed on the exciting future this transaction would play in their lives. Announcements were sent to clients and subsequently the media.
Brand presence
All elements of the deal were included in the signed documents — except one. And that was what the name of the acquired firm would be. It was never discussed if Butler would continue to be called Rhett Butler Public Relations, or Butler/Fillmore or simply Fillmore.
For some reason, the name of the acquired firm wasn't even raised in the initial or final discussions. All other components of the deal were: the earn-out, the role of the acquired firm's principals and the reporting structure. The subject of the name was left hanging and needed to be addressed.
The Butler firm remained in the office space it had been in for the previous 10 years. Fillmore's CEO picked up the phone to call his counterpart at Butler once the deal was about two weeks done.
"Hi, Rhett. I hope all is going well," said Fillmore. "Are your employees and clients as psyched about your joining our organization as we are?"
"Yes, indeed, Millard," said Butler. "Everyone is on board. It's a win-win situation for everyone."
"I'm so glad to hear that, Rhett. Now that the deal is done, I think it's time to cover the next subject in our evolution. Since the Fillmore brand is so well known, I think we should now brand your firm as Fillmore. I'd like to see your name changed by the end of the month."
There was a long pause. Finally, Butler said, "But, Millard, the Butler brand is also well known. We've established a strong presence in the consumer product category, and if we abandoned our name it could cost us business."
"Nonsense," said Fillmore. "If your brand is changed to Fillmore you'll get more business, not less."
And the conversation ended without any decision having been made. But Fillmore continued to insist and Butler had no choice. In 30 days, the name of the decades-old Butler firm was changed to Fillmore. And the Butler firm suffered as a result.
If you were to have a private and confidential conversation with Rhett Butler about this turn of events, here's what he would say:
"We were in effect forced to change our name. It hadn't occurred to me that this would be part of the deal. Once acquired, I no longer had a vote. Our employees were very disheartened to learn that the Butler name was gone. And our clients began to look more closely at possible conflicts of interest with those of the parent company."
"And for some reason our usual over-the-transom prospects began to shrink. They thought that once the Butler name was no longer on our letterhead that we had gone out of business. It was a disaster. If I had to do it over again, I would never agree to abandon a brand name that was well known in the marketplace."
Combined names
If you're contemplating selling your firm, then you should insist on your name being carried forward at least through the end of the earn-out period. If your firm earns well under $1 million in net fee income and you have fewer than ten clients, a name change may not be that vital. But if your firm has at least $2 million in net fee income, has a dozen clients or more and a staff of 20, then the name of the firm is just as important an asset as how much cash you have in the bank. The ideal situation would be to pair your name with the buyer's. The combined name could do more for your ongoing reputation as the name of your firm before the transaction.
Most buyers wouldn't agree to have its acquisitions retain their own names unless the buyers are huge holding companies. It's one thing for a Ketchum or FleishmanHillard to keep their names as wholly owned units of Omnicom. But it's not likely that a PR agency the size of Rhett Butler PR would hang on to its original name. The more common likelihood is that its name would be combined with the buyer: Butler/Fillmore.
The most important thing to remember is that the subject of what an acquired agency should be named is no less important than such other fundamentals as purchase price, earn-out criteria, degree of autonomy and synergy. Your ongoing net fee revenues could depend on it.

Gift Acceptance Procedure
The Gift Acceptance Procedure ensures that all gifts accepted by the non-profit agency further the mission or goals of the agency, do not conflict with the agency's ethical values and principles, and are accepted in accordance with sound business and fiscal practices.
No gift will be accepted where there is no obvious charitable intent on the part of the donor. The greater the number of donors and the greater the number of transactions involved in a gift, the greater will be the caution about accepting the gift. The Board of Directors must review and approve the acceptance of gifts, which may require expenditure of funds by the agency at any time.
The Gift Acceptance Procedure applies to all gifts offered to the non-profit agency, including cash, pledges, securities, trusts, insurance policies, real estate, and other gifts-in-kind. (6 pages, 1,651 words)
All contributions should be recognized within 48 hours of receipt, and under no circumstances less than five working days of receipt of the gift. All gifts should also be recorded accurately and a weekly report issued to the Executive Director, senior staff, President of the Board of Directors, Board members, and all development volunteer leadership.
If the donor or some other person or persons retains or obtains a right, interest, or benefit in a gift, the Board of Directors must determine that the gift has adequate value to sustain that right, interest, or benefit, pay related expenses, and still provide a significant benefit to the agency. All property appraisals must be premised on the property being sold within a reasonable period to time, generally one year.
The Gift Acceptance Policy includes specific guidelines for each type of gift. For example, it tells you that in-kind gifts of property or services are to be valued by the donor and reported to the Executive Director and that if the in-kind valuation of the donor is suspect, the agency may request an independent appraisal.

- General Guidelines
- In-Kind-Gifts
- Donated Securities
- Gifts of Real Property
- Gifts of Personal Property
- Works of Art
- Gifts of Furniture
- Gifts of Automobiles

After recording videos with an Installous version of Cockpit Recorder, I decided I was ready to purchase the export option.
I backed up all of the videos to my local machine, deleted the app, installed the App Store version, and did the in-app export purchase.
After I moved the videos back the app recognized the videos, but crashed when attempting to export.
The videos are stored in /var/mobile/Applications/randomnumbersandletters(folder with CockpitRecorder.app)/Documents/Videos
The videos were all owned by root:mobile
Within that directory I did:
chown -R mobile:mobile .
After that I was able to export videos. I'm still unable to record new videos. I think it may be related to the GeneralData.plist file. I'll update this when I figure it out, or comment here with the answer and I'll update the post.

A PRECISE KNOWLEDGE SHARED BY Dr. Mukesh Bhatia about undedrweightUnderweight can also be disease, though in our culture it is not always recognized as such. Lack of body weight can cause poor resistance, low vitality, nervousness, irritability. There will be lack of appetite (desire to eat food), depression, malaise (feeling of general discomfort or uneasiness) and psychological instability.
There may be wasting away of tissues including loss of hair, falling of teeth, weakness of bones and lack of sexual vitality as well as other signs of premature aging.
|Underweight Treatment in Ayurveda
Other factors include overwork, too much exercise and excessive sexual activity. Psychological factors are worry and grief (often following loss of a loved one), excessive study and too much mental activity.
Low weight may also be involved in convalescence from a severe disease that has depleted the body tissues. It may occur more commonly in the elderly or in the children. Treatment involves an increasing or tonification therapy. Heavy rich nutritive diet is taken along with tonic, building herbs.
Underweight is a usually a vata condition, as air type tend towards lightness. Vata individuals often forget to eat or their irregular eating habits cause long term suppression of the digestive fire. Use of stimulant drug such as amphetamines can bring about the same condition.
An anti vata diet is usually the best. Meat and fish are helpful or other heavy food like root vegetables, whole grains, nuts, dairy, oils and sugar.
Treatment for Underweight
Spices are indicated but not necessarily in the beginning treatment. The hotter spices in particular may cause further depletion of vital fluids by their drying nature and overstimulate what is usually already a hyper metabolism.
Tonic herbs are essential: ashwagandha, shatavari, bala, licorice prepared in milk.
Ayurveda formulas are:
- Ashwagandha compound
- Shatawari compound
- Dhatupustik compound
- Chyvanprash

Chiropractic care should begin during pregnancy. International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) Board member, Dr. Jeanne Ohm, sums up the benefits by saying, "Chiropractic care is essential for the pregnant mother. Her systems and organs are now providing for two and their optimal function is critical for the baby's healthy development. The mother's spine and pelvis undergoes many changes and adaptations to compensate for the growing baby and the risk of interference to her nervous system is increased. Specific chiropractic care throughout pregnancy works with enhancing nervous system function providing greater health potential for both the mother and baby."
