Why Traction Alopecia that Damages Hair Follicles is Difficult to Treat with Non-Surgical Treatments
Thank you for your question. You've submitted several photos and you're
asking about the use of PRP to help with your hair loss and you describe a little bit about
your personal situation. So, I can certainly give you some guidance
on the role of PRP and what solutions are available to you. A little bit of background, I'm a Board-certified
cosmetic surgeon and a Fellowship-trained oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. I've been in practice for over 20 years in
Manhattan and Long Island. I'm also the founder of TrichoStem® Hair
Regeneration Centers. This is the technology we developed in our
practice to non-surgically help people with hair loss. I'm using platelet-rich plasma as well as
other things that was developed from our application of this technology for hair transplant surgery. So a situation like yours is something I'm
quite familiar with. To begin with we have to understand first
of all the cause and issue on what's the basis for your hair loss. From the photos you submitted my first thought
is that these areas are diminishing of hair in the temple areas of your scalp. I think that from my experience is caused
by something we call traction alopecia and this is very common for people who have braided
their hair or done very tight types of hairstyles where the skin was under tension from the
hair being pulled very tightly. Basically with traction alopecia the hair
follicle eventually stopped growing because of the tension traction. Now in a related type of situation for people
with your skin type, I'm assuming you're someone of African descent. We've also seen comparable situations in people
who have used hair relaxers and hair relaxers are basically chemicals that disrupted the
bonds in the hair to realign the proteins in a way that causes straightening. Unfortunately these relaxers could also cause
skin burns and can result in hair loss as well. Now, since your situation looks more like
traction but in the end there is probably some overlap in the way we would treat your
situation. So when it comes to PRP a little bit of guidance
from my experience. We use PRP in our practice a lot, we use it
every day for a variety of reasons, as a cosmetic surgeon, as someone who does laser in non-invasive
treatments and microdermabrasions and various other and micro-needling. Platelet-rich plasma is wonderful, we use
it for acne scars, we use it for wrinkles, we use it for dark under-eye circles, we use
it in combination with fillers. But when it comes to hair, platelet-rich plasma
can stimulate hair growth but in my experience it's not sustainable stimulation of hair growth. In our practice we use something called Hair
regeneration and Hair regeneration is a combination of platelet rich plasma with a material called
extracellular matrix. Now, we use this mainly for genetic pattern
loss, male and female hereditary loss. I have found it to have a limited value with
traction alopecia. However, when we look at someone, when we
do a microscope examination I often will tell the patient that in order to see what we can
maximally get from your scalp, whether there is any salvageable hair follicles that might
be in injured state. There's value to trying something like Hair
Regeneration as opposed to PRP alone, but to get density to get restore benefit we usually
have to do some kind of transplantation and that's gets tricky because the space that
you need hair is a fair amount and so you would probably need a fairly extensive hair
transplant procedure and very often it's necessary to have more than one. But I think in a step wise methodical approach
you can first you have to do everything to prevent further traction alopecia that means
changing hairstyles and I think the unfortunate reality is a lot of people are resistant to
it because often that's their look. And we do a lot to counsel our patients to
try to manage that. Because if you keep putting tension on your
hair you will lose more hair. There have been some patients who actually
did this traction maneuver to try to lift their brows and they lost their hair from
that I wouldn't advise that as well, but that being said I think it's the stepwise approach
does make sense, Hair Regeneration technology to first maximize whatever growth there is
and then transplantation done in a way that makes sense to both you and your physician. So learn about these options about Hair Regeneration
and transplantation and then do some consultations with doctors who specialize in hair loss treatment
and hair transplant and move forward from there so I hope that was helpful I wish you
the best of luck and thank you for your question.

Interest Configuration
Interest Configuration is used to apply interest to balances on stored value accounts (SVAs), which is similar to how interest is calculated for regular bank accounts. Interest is calculated for each SVA, based on the balance at the end of a calculation period. You can configure various interest schemes, and group them into products; products can be mapped to an SVA, based on the organizational unit, customer type, and payment instrument type.
Interest is calculated for SVAs based on the balance-tracking method. The interest is calculated on interest-balance snapshots, which use the calculation method and scales that are configured in the interest product. For each calculation, two transactions are created that move money between the clearing accounts, in preparation for the clearing of the interest. Therefore, interest calculations are cleared by triggering the transaction to move the interest from the clearing accounts to the customer's SVA.
If an SVA is created during an interest-calculation period, and it has an applicable interest product, its balance snapshots are created for the complete calculation period. For example, if the calculation period is one month, and a new SVA is created on the 15th of the month, entries for the new SVA are created from the 1st of the month up to the current snapshot date. Therefore, 14 entries with a balance of zero are created, and 1 entry with the current balance is created.

Last night, I was with my girlfriend. We had sex, and after that, when I got to my place, I didn't go to sleep, but resorted to my "favorite" habit again. I knew that it would be smart to go straight to bed, and still didn't do it. Today, I wasted the whole day watching porn and masturbating.
There is a video about porn addiction that uses the acronym "BLAST". That stands for "bored, lonely, angry, stressed, tired". Those are the situations where we are most vulnerable to relapsing. I was too tired to resist the urge. That is something that happened to me many times. And I knew that it would happen. I need a lot of work on my will. Now, I feel like sh*t. I feel so confused and tired, and can't concentrate on anything. The worst thing is that I have so much to do, and I'm wasting my time and energy on porn and masturbation.
I'm so tired of being a slave to this habit. Last time I started abstaining, I didn't have any goal, and lasted for 8 days. Today, I'm setting a goal:
I will try and use all possible techniques to achieve this. All suggestions are welcome.

I just want you guys to know
that your willpower is tied to the changes in your brain. Addiction-related changes actually dampen self-control. In other words, it's not a "character defect," but rather an under active frontal cortex. That can change back as you rebalance.
So, don't beat up on yourself. Just do your best to get some days under your belt...so to speak. Plenty of tips here: http://yourbrainonporn.com/uncle-bob-porn-addiction-recovery-tips
Marnia, your comment really opened my eyes!
I always thought that my weak will is the main reason for my addiction, but never thought that it may actually be the other way around! I have just read a little about the effects of addictions on prefrontal cortex and I am amazed! I can't wait to read more, but I am very busy these days.
If I didn't find this site, I probably wouldn't have heard about neuroplasticity, dopamine cycles and all this stuff. It is really great and very encouraging to know how things work and that we can change ourselves. Thank you for that!
My pleasure

01. The New World (43 comments)
The source is mislabeled as "brooked beak of heaven" and should be fixed.
This suggestion will likely just seem excessively nit-picky. In regards to the "[n]o America city, in fact, would match Cahokia's peak population levels…" statement. Although it is somewhat implicitly stated in previous statement"north of modern-day Mexico," the use of America in the aforementioned sentence only to refer to present day USA and Canada could cause a little confusion. As the writers of this resource I've had the pleasure of discovering recently probably already know, the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan had a size on par with that of Constantinople. Such a fact is likely included in many cite-able sources. The one where I had found it would be The Cambridge Economic History of Latin America: Volume 1, The Colonial Era and the Short Nineteenth Century by Coatsworth, Bulmer-Thomas, and Cortes-Conde.
Thank you for the great work you've done with this website. I was never very interested in North American history until I had found this resource!
Poverty Point would be an excellent addition to this paragraph, or as part of a paragraph on trade in early America. http://www.povertypoint.us/
Sentence two states "Europeans rediscovered or adopted Greek, Roman and Muslim knowledge." That makes no sense. You can not rediscover anything. Europeans blatantly STOLE knowledge, & ideas & accredited it as their own. This is very misleading & should be changed considering that you have a very large audience viewing this textbook.
Role of women
The Enslavement of Native Americans.
End of Civilization
Lenape Women
Three Sisters
Matrilineal Ancestry
The first two sentences are poorly constructed and repetitive (e.g., word "unleashed" is used repetitively in the first two sentences). Possible rewrite:
"Europeans' 'discovery' of America unleashed waves of destructive exploitation underwritten by murder, greed, and slavery."

Sistema de Castas, not Casas
This sixteenth century drawing depicts the Spanish and their Tlaxcalan allies fighting against the Purépecha, not the Aztec. The text on this image includes "guzmã," which stands for "Nuño de Guzmán," the Spanish conquistador who crushed the Purépecha, who were the people of "michuacá," which is today's Michoacán, in western Mexico.
The site at Buttermilk Creek, Texas, dated at roughly 15,500 years ago, predates both Monte Verde and the Florida site mentioned and might be cited as an example of a much earlier date for human activity.
One of the main reasons for the shift from the ecomienda system to the repartimiento was the papal encyclical delivered by Pope Paul III in 1537 and adopted by the Spanish monarchy, the Sublimus Dei. Which stated that the Native Americans "are by no means to be deprived of their liberty or the possession of their property…nor should they be in any way enslaved…" This
This paragraph is rather disingenuous. Not one source in entire paragraph to support these claims. So many qualifiers in every statement without one specific instance of any tribe/people/group, anywhere in America who practiced sexual liberation and care-free divorces. Five thousand plus years of Native American history where mass human sacrifice and territorial fighting and raids were commonplace surely also saw many machismo tribes and polygamy was probably common among warring tribes where women were taken as brides by the victors.
Europeans CAN rediscover that knowledge if it was known previously but was lost. That's the whole point of the word "rediscover". Europeans can also learn and adapt from others (Greeks, Romans, Muslims). Human beings adopt superior ideas and knowledge, that is a universal trait for all cultures and societies. It is unfair to attribute bad intent upon one massive group for no other reason then irrational dislike for them.
The book should make a distinction between Columbus and the conquistadors and colonists that came after him. Columbus never killed any natives and had constantly warned the men under his command to not enact violence on them. Bartolomé de Las Casas book was written in 1542 (published in 1552), decades after Columbus died in 1506. de Las Casas admired Columbus, who his father sailed with to the New World on Columbus's second voyage (1493). It is unfair to place Columbus in a disparaging and inaccurate light and connect him to the cruelty others had wrought on the natives. A helpful source on Christopher Columbus comes from Carol Delaney, Professor of Anthropology who wrote a book on Columbus called: Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem (2011).
Native Americans were Catholics, who spoke Norse. Therir ancestors were NOT in America until the Mississippian Culture, wich is dated from AD 800.
I only noticed the S in people(s), (l.8) that should maybe be removed
I have just begun reading this, and it is very well done, thank you.
[bridged more than ten thousand years of geographic separation]
This implies that there was communication and altercations before ten thousand years when in reality Europeans have not made contact with Native Americans in history until this point. So "more than ten thousand years" should in reality be a lot more
Interesting that the title of the chapter is The New World when in the very first sentences the authors note that is a misconception and misnomer. Why not follow the lead of historians such as Daniel Richter and refer to the "ancient" Americas or use a similar concept?
Native Americans lived and developed governing systems within their own beliefs and knowledge of the Americas before the Europeans "discovered" their new world. Before their arrival and greedy mindset brought disease, separation and segregation and slavery to the Americas. Similar tactics were in place however were more humane toward both humans and animals.
Native American stories of how the earth was created by their indigenous belief systems. The broad scope of the stories aren't much different than religious mindset. Both have similar outcomes with different story line. Archaeologist and anthropologist focus on a scientific study of artifacts, bones, genetic signatures tell their own story to give a similar timeline with scientific evidence.
Through evidence collected after the global ice age between 12 and 20,000 years ago was when human hunter gatherers traveled in small groups as means of survival in the new land of Asia and America.
The was a division of native group that understood the vast benefits of their surroundings. Those in the NW had salmon filled rivers. Plains and prairie, deserts, and forest the cultures were as different as their environment.
Mesoamericans relied on maize/corn for survival and this began the agriculture. North America continues to hold the importance of those that began the development and sustainability of North America.
If they were so good at surviving, then how come they didn't live into their 100's?
That's a keen observation; I guess they author's intention is to appeal to the perspective of the European settlers, but being a valued historical textbook, they probably should have opted for a more objective title. I agree…I wonder why they chose that approach.
The first Dutch and Swedish settlers who encountered the Lenapes in the seventeenth century recognized Lenape prosperity and quickly sought their friendship. Their lives came to depend on it.
Spain settled into their new empire.
Agreement of antecedent and pronoun would be
"Spain settled into its new empire." OR
The Spanish settled into their new empire."
Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca joined the Narváez expedition to Florida a decade later but was shipwrecked and forced to embark on a remarkable multiyear odyssey across the Gulf of Mexico and Texas into Mexico.
A better wording would be "along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico"
Goats were native to Eurasia. How is this possible pre-contact?
Agriculture was able to set the foundation of society. This allowed people to diversify themselves and put their abilities to their best use possible. This not only set the foundation for this time period but, for more to come. Today we see the youth trying to follow their parents' footsteps and, this began behavior was set years ago, according to the text since people pursued their own activities that intrigued them. Allowing farmers to produce food also let society use their minds differently and independently.
It is unreal how the Puebloans' knew how to celebrate life and start a religious ceremony that would be carried down from generation to generation. with the resources given to them at the time, they knew how to convert those resources into an environment that is sustainable. It felt like for anyone during this time period they would be living in caves or huts not in complexes. The Puebloan people knew how to come together and they understood that together, they could accomplish goals for having a better community.
Native Americans had a right to their land and in keeping it. The Europeans had no place in trying to colonize it for their own. However, during this time of expansion they were eager to control more land throughout the world. Why was world domination so important during these times when there could have been peace?
25 percent is too low for an estimate of the death rate for the Black Death. Modern estimates generally range from 30 to 50 percent.
considering that the entire Delaware River Valley as the homeland of the Lenape, it might be better/ more accurate to say that the Susquehannock were located to the west and south rather than just south. Also you might mention the the Minqua (Susquehannocks) were an Iroquoian people.
Thank you for considering my suggestion
The "three sisters" are mentioned, but there is no specific mention of what the "three sisters" are
"…inaugurated centuries of violence…" The chapter has already stated that the native inhabitants had "warred with their neighbors." In this sense, violence had already been inaugurated. Perhaps "continued" is a better word choice than "inaugurated."
The releasing of "the greatest biological terror the world had ever seen"–while I agree that this was both "biological" and a "terror," it seems that putting those two terms in such close proximity to each other drums up a sense of premeditation on the part of Europeans.

I believe Bryan served in the US House, representing Nebraska, not "the Nebraska House of Representatives." Similarly, he was unsuccessful in his campaign for the US Senate, not "the Nebraska Senate."

"In the summer of 1886, the campaign for an eight-hour day, long a rallying cry that united American laborers, culminated in a national strike on May 1, 1886." What kind of sentence is this? It's like a run-on sentence made of sentence fragments. Should "long" be "rang"?
Nevermind. I get it.
should there be a comma?
The artist's name is misspelled – should be Snyder not Synder
Paragraph 1 seems to have an editing error, as the second sentence does not make sense.
It should possibly read as follows:
"That year, mired in the stagnant economy that followed the bursting of the railroads' financial bubble in 1873, rail lines slashed workers wages even as they reaped enormous government subsidies and paid shareholders lucrative stock dividends."
Honestly the sentence should possibly be broken down into multiple sentences, as it seems like a run-on sentence.
You can call me CHARLES for short
I love it!
Didn't laborers at this time work roughly 16 hours a day, 6 days a week? This would calculate to over 90 hours a week, not 60.
From it's beginnings in the early to mid nineteenth century during the Industrial Revolution to the modern era of today, the labor movement has fought hard forming labor parties and labor laws to give the American worker the rights they deserve. The scene in this chapter shows the defiant labor movement(armless) being chased out by armed soldiers to quell out their demonstration.
[A month of chaos erupted. Strikers set fire to the city, destroying dozens of buildings, over a hundred engines, and over a thousand cars. In Reading, strikers destroyed rail property and an angry crowd bombarded militiamen with rocks and bottles. The militia fired into the crowd, killing ten. A general strike erupted in St. Louis, and strikers seized rail depots and declared for the eight-hour day and the abolition of child labor. ]
I think , the use of armed men to deal with the railway strikers is not the best and killing of innocent people; the best way however is to use dialogue between the workers union leaders' and the government representative to make tranquility and sanity prevail
The Federal government actively promoted industrial and agriculture development. It enacted high tariffs that protected American industry from foreign competition, granted land to railroad company to encourage construction, and used the army to remove foreigners from Western land by farmers and mining company's to pave way greater achievements.
24. World War II (19 comments)
"Comprehending Japanese motivations for attacking China and the grueling stalemate of the ensuring war are crucial for understanding Japan's seemingly unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii"
Is the word "ensuring" supposed to be "ensuing"?
Yes it was. It's fixed now. Thanks!
Not a criticism but more a request. I didn't see much or any mention of the lend-lease program championed by Roosevelt preceding the U.S. entry into the war. This chapter would benefit from a section on it as this was vital to Roosevelt's attempt to bypass the rest of the country's isolationist perspectives.
Reintroduces and re-explains material introduced in paragraph 63.
The most plausible response for the U.S. military was to bomb either the camps or the railroads leading to them
(remove the first instance of "was")
Japanese troops surrender on June 3, 1943.
From June 5th, 1942 till May 30th, 1943, a Japanese garrison occupied the Aleutian Islands of Attu and Kiska, which are a part of Alaska. The "Battle of Attu" took place there, and that was the first and only battle to be fought on U.S. soil during WWII.
I feel like that's a pretty important thing that is not mentioned here at all.
[conference at Dumbarton Oaks, outside Washington, D.C.]
Dumbarton Oaks is in Georgetown a part of Washington D.C.
It would be helpful to include more information on appeasement policies. I feel this issue is extremely important and a lesson we need to focus on so that we can learn for the future. It is referenced but briefly.
I feel this page would benefit from information on American Neutrality prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Lend Lease program and the "great arsenal of democracy" while the US specifically passed bills to attempt to stay out. Our involvement in the war prior to Dec. 7th, 1941 seems to be brushed over as well as the American desire to stay out of another European war.
You're welcome.
The United States did send aid to China in the form of groups of airmen such as the Flying Tigers.
Doesn't mentioned that the Soviets attacked Poland from the East in addition to the German attack from the West
The casualties from the Bombing of Pearl Harbor were closer to 2,600
The "Army Air Force" wasn't called that, it was called the Army Air Corps, and there were still air raids that were flown without fighter escort, but used a different tactic instead of flying straight to the target cities.
Also doesn't mention the first bombing strike against the Japanese capitol a few months after Pearl Harbor, which is very important, The Doolittle Raid.
True, but this was not until after the Lend-Lease Act when the United States was already on the road to war. The flying tigers, for instance, were not formed until the summer of 1941, only a few months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and after the invasion of French Indochina, a point of contention between the United States and Japan.
You are welcome as well
21. World War I & Its Aftermath (16 comments)
This paragraph fails to note that Gavrilo Princip was a member of Black Hand. It also suggests that Austria-Hungary was aggressively seeking to annex Serbia, but ignores the expansionist "Greater Serbia" ideology of Black Hand, as well as the role of Austria-Hungary in supporting the Obrenovic dynasty over the then-ruling Karadjordic Dynasty.
This here says that Lodge's opponents managed to block entry into the League of Nations. How can this be so if Lodge himself was an opponent?
Should it be: "Wilson's opponents successfully blocked America's entry into the League of Nations" not Lodge's opponents but Wilson's?
"Victor Huerta" should be "Victoriano Huerta"
It should be the "Austro-Hungarian Empire," not the "Austrian-Hungarian Empire."
should be: "Lodge's supporters" not "Lodge's opponents"
It says that Pres Wilson was the First to travel overseas while in office. This may be misleading, as Teddy Roosevelt traveled to Panama in 1909 during canal construction.
While he didn't cross an ocean, "overseas" is commonly understood to mean outside the country, especially if it involves water travel.
consider replacing "overseas" with "to Europe" or "outside the western hemisphere" or "across an ocean"
"be" should be inserted between "a" and "fatal" in the following sentence: "Although much of the equipment still needed to make the transatlantic passage, the physical presence of the army proved to a fatal blow to German war plans."
There needs to be a section in this or the next chapter on the Red Scare. It astounds me that there is no mention at all of Abrams v. United States (1919), and the great dissent of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
[The army and navy chose to appoint them instead, which left the status of professional medical women hovering somewhere between the enlisted and officer ranks.]
Appoint them to what? The sentence is unclear.
Lodge's opponents successfully blocked America's entry into the League of Nations,
I think you want to say "Lodge's opposition"
I love American Yawp but this chapter is a little disappointing. The Introduction and Conclusion suggest a leap directly from WWI to 1929 and WWII. I think that it should reference the US emerging as a world power as a creditor nation and the immediate post-war prosperity of the US.. The chapter should mention resistance to US entry and the draft by Eugene Debs and others. What new countries emerged in Eastern Europe? What were final casualty figures in Europe (not just France)?
Thank you for all your work.
[and and]
Redundant and
Surgeon General of the Army be capitalized.
And the sentence needs to make clear these numbers are for American soldiers
Reports from the Surgeon General of the Army revealed that while 227,000 U.S. soldiers were hospitalized from wounds received in battle, almost half a million suffered from influenza.
This last name is spelled incorrectly. It's correct way is Zimmermann.

There is an extra A at the beginning of this paragraph
Fixed. Thanks!
The last sentence seems to have a flaw, all that is needed is to add the word "do".
"…should ask themselves what they could __ to enact the kingdom…"
The last sentence of this paragraph refers to "Carnegie's U.S. Steel," implying that Andrew Carnegie was running U.S. Steel when Taft was President. I don't believe that was the case.
their is nothing about frank norris in here plz add him
You spelled "please" incorrectly. In addition, you spelled your own name, "George", incorrectly. You have also used the incorrect "there". You neglected to capitalize your first letter, add a comma between "here" and "please", and you forgot a period to conclude. It would please me if you corrected these errors.
It is the National American Woman Suffrage Association not the National American Suffrage Association.
You have it wrong here again: It is the National American Woman Suffrage Association
It should be U.S. Steel not Carnegie's U.S. Steel.
Rose Schneiderman. Not Ruth.
It seems that you misspel led disenfranchisement unless you were intentionally saying disfranchisement.

09. Democracy in America (13 comments)
There is no conclusion for this chapter. All of the other chapters so far, have one.
This chapter absolutely needs a detailed recounting of Jackson's Indian Removal policy, culminating in the trail of tears. It's a huge whole in what is presented in the chapter.
The Trail of Tears is mentioned later in chapter 12, but I agree with Ryan that it would be far better to include that information here. Perhaps it could be briefly recapped in chapter 12 but presented in depth here?
I'd love to add a sentence either here or in paragraph 10 that connects to the image in terms of the rise of political parties and, well, partying and campaigning.
Is this the place to mention the spoils system/rotation in office? Postal clerks were generally the only source of hard currency, especially in the frontier so the democratization of gvt. work regardless of qualifications sets up the bank war.
Can I make a suggestion for an additional entry to the Recommended Reading section? Stephen Campbell has recently published a monograph on the Bank War with the University Press of Kansas. It is one of the few monographs to come out on this subject in the last forty years and it is also one of the most detailed. I do believe that reading this monograph closely will improve the section on the Bank War for this chapter. Thank you for your consideration.
The date range in the title of this primary source should read "1819-1820," not 1920 as appears here and on the page with the document itself.
[ He defended the impulsive general, arguing that he had had been forced to act.]
Double "had"
Her first husband never committed suicide, an autopsy later revealed he died of pnemonia.
The members of the Boston and Lynn Female Antislavery Societies were hardly considered "respectable." They were mobbed, ridiculed, and race-baited. New England clergymen disputed that "both men and women" should speak out against slavery, as did many abolitionists. In emphasizing the middle-class status of some abolitionist women, this paragraph misrepresents the movement as part mainstream "middle-class culture," which was not at all the case in the 1830s.
AY chapter alludes to some of these issues and cites much of the relevant literature. This paragraph contradicts that information.
AY chapter 10, that is
I realize that the topic is Democracy in America, but a major section on the Jackson Administration is missing. I am referring to the section dealing with the Native Americans. I believe that the topic should be included in Chapter 9. Jackson's interactions with the Native Americans does show his character of the times, and his conflict with John Marshall and the Supreme Court, his concepts for the executive branch and his dealing with judicial l branch.
The rest of the chapter is very well done and useful in class. The documents, especially the veto message is important.
The year is incorrect on the source as well as the document. It should read 1819-1820.
02. Colliding Cultures (12 comments)
Font size does not match the rest of the chapter. Besides this paragraph, the font size is not consistent in other parts of Sections 1-3 of Chapter 2. Please fix for readability, especially for visually impaired readers.
Puritans were stereotyped as killjoys, Puritans did not succeed. Puritans would not stay away from alcohol or sex based on their religion or life style.Puritans believe that the European church was to close to Catholicism.
I feel that you should include the term iconoclasm here as this was the name given to the abolition or ornate churches, and that the definition should be expanded upon a but to show the full breath of reforms that the Puritans were attempting to achieve.
There needs to be a section dedicated to the explorations of de Soto.
Not sure where you are getting your information from, but Oñate cut off the foot of every male above the age of 25. He enslaved everyone between the ages of 12-25.
Diseases wiped out entire civilizations
nutrient rich foods help European population
Spaniard slaughter acoma of 1500 inhabitants
Black legend – drew on religous diff, and political rivalries
Middle ground The great lakes had lots of success
Labor shortages crippled the Dutch
the puritians commited to reforming the church of england
Did they really only import eleven slaves?
Why didn't the Spanish try to keep their discoveries to themselves to gain advantage over their competition?
if the youngs kept dying why didn't the french try to come up with solutions and try separating themselves from giving one another diseases?
The French were able to come to terms with this new society, why couldn't the competition do the same instead of murdering communities?
if the dutch bought into democracy, could they have gone further in their financial organizations?
The Spanish did try to control access and information as best they could, but that was a tough thing to keep secret! One key is that Spain's Hapsburg kings also ruled much of what is now the Netherlands, Belgium, and adjacent areas of Germany. When the Protestant Reformation spread to the Spanish Netherlands, Dutch printers such as Theodore de Bry translated, illustrated, and printed Spanish accounts of the conquest in order to inform their anti-Catholic propaganda.
Maybe a quick note that Spain had a vast European empire, and fought for decades to defend its interests against the rise of Protestant powers informed these processes could go here. (The Spanish rivalry is noted).
paragraph 76–with citation for Winthrop, gives the date of 1830 for the Modell–I think you mean 1630.
HOWEVER the new book by Mark Peterson _The City-State of Boston_ totally complicates the matter. It does not appear that Winthrop delivered the talk on the Arabella–and there is no contemporaneous references to it. He MAY have delivered in in England. But it does not gain traction until the 1830s.
04. Colonial Society (12 comments)
The sermon was delivered in Enfield, Mass/Conn., not Northampton.
The line "15 to 20 percent of Pennsylvania's colonial population was enslaved by 1750" is not supported by the reference, which shows that approximately 2% of PA residents were enslaved.

My students have been pretty confused by this paragraph b/c it makes little distinction between trade regulations pre-1764 and post-1764. Seems like there should be at least some mention that the Sugar Act was in large part about better forcing existing duties through Admiralty courts, etc.
Unclear which of the particular regulations listed were passed in 1705 and which came earlier.
Georgia was founded by a philanthropic group, known as the Georgia Trustees. Oglethorpe was just one member and it is incorrect to label him the founder. The Georgia Trustees banned slavery.
I noticed a small error in the American Yawp version of Gibson Clough's War Journal.
Here is a short quote from the current Yawp version of Gibson Clough's War Journal:
"Here begins the New Year 1700"
The actual version on the Essex Institute Historical Collections in the Internet Archive cited below the online version on this cite reads:
"Here begins the New Year 1760"
The last sentence repeats the House of Burgese's Slave codes and I find the last sentence redundant.
This is really quite vague and dated. First, Fred Anderson's excellent Crucible of War has become the go-to book for the French and Indian War. Second, there has been much recent scholarship on American colonists — both wealthy speculators and their agents (Washington was one of these agents) — giving land grant in the Ohio Forks region. These grants were what spurred the French to build forts, and this in turn provoked the English to respond. The Yawp text here is grossly over-simplified; especially considering that conflict between British administrators and American land speculators and squatters will be one of the major reasons for the Revolution. And we know this because it says so in the Declaration of Independence.

While I have enjoyed reading the information provided, I believe that Queen Anne's War (1702-1713) and King George's War (1744-1748) also need to be included into the text. These two wars not only assist in laying the foundation for the French and Indian War and showing continued conflict between the two empires, but also shows growing frustrations with the colonists and the British crown. The treaties of Utrecht and Aix-la-Chapelle could both be seen as a slap in the face of the colonists who fought hard to win territory, only to have to return it to the French.

Wernher von Braun should not be referred to as a "former top German rocket scientist". Instead, he should be referred to as a "Nazi rocket scientist". This reference is more conducive to maintenance of the truth.
The end of this paragraph mentions "containment" for the first time. What that means is never defined anywhere in the chapter.
the cold war grew out of failure to achieve a durable settlement.
The political landscape was altered drastically by Franklin Roosevelt's sudden death in April 1945, just days before the inaugural meeting of the UN. Although Roosevelt was skeptical of Stalin, he always held out hope that the Soviets could be brought into the "Free World." Truman, like Churchill, had no such illusions. He committed the United States to a hard-line, anti-Soviet approach. ((Harbutt, Yalta 1945).))

They resorted to tactics used by the patriots before the Revolution

Didn't we learn that Abraham Lincoln made thanksgiving a national holiday??
I believe you need to expound more on the New Jersey plan to the students. After all, prior to the Great Compromise the delegates debated for two weeks over a bicameral (Virginia Plan) and a unicameral (New Jersey Plan). At least give the credit to the person that presented it to the Convention, William Paterson.
This would be a great place to discuss more of the Bill of Rights. All in all you have barely provided a sentence to what Rights the Bill protects. Especially in today's political climate and the fact that a majority of High School students do not understand the Bill of Rights, namely the ninth and tenth amendments.

Would be useful to mention the Equal Pay Act specifically.
The last 2 sentences read "Americans cringed at Nick Ut's wrenching photograph of a naked Vietnamese child fleeing an American napalm attack. More and more American voices came out against the war."
Surely the photograph in question should be included, at the very least, in the Primary Sources that accompany this chapter.

05. The American Revolution (10 comments)
Good Morning,
The inclusion of the phrase "salutary neglect" in this paragraph or in paragraph #9 of the same chapter referencing British colonial policy would be helpful. The phrase can help students name the colonial policy more succinctly and provides a utilitarian short form for them to use in writing/referring to the time period.
Thank you all–the Yawp is everything good about academics!
Just a style thing: "throughout the colonies" appears twice in quick succession and three times in this paragraph. 11 times in the chapter total.
This paragraph is confusing. The previous paragraph says, correctly, that the Tea Act exempted the EIC from having import duties applied to its Tea. So the the phrase "colonists would be paying the duty" needs clarification.
In other words, needs clarification that EIC did not have to pay import duties but purchasers of tea still had to pay standard duties on their purchases.
[in the colonies]
This seems redundant as the sentence begins with "Colonial"
"Colonial political culture in the colonies"
This is redundant, it should be "Political culture in the colonies" or "Colonial political culture"
This and the first sentence of Para 48 that the duty had to be paid when the ship was unloaded are confusing. Para 46 says the tea was without duties; para 48 said duites had to be paid.

[In 1919, the UNIA announced plans to develop a shipping company called the Black Star Line as part of a plan that pushed for blacks to reject the political system and to "return to Africa" instead."]
I see that there is an unnecessary quotation after Africa at the end of this sentence, but please let me know if it is there on purpose.
In the 6th paragraph of the primary source, on the 4th line, the word "the" is not spelled correctly. There is also an "s" in the middle of the sentence, where it is supposed to be attached to the end of the word "it."
Secretarty of the Navy Edwin Denby was never convicted and was never sent to jail. Please reference the Denby Family Papers in the Library of Congress Database.
This chapter does not mention anything about Native Americans becoming citizens of The United States for the first time ever.

I think it would interesting to have a section on the Buck v. Bell (1927) case, as well as the eugenics movement more broadly. It's hard to know where to put it, but my best thought is here, right after the paragraph on immigration quotas.
Eugenics always fascinates my students, especially because it was embraced by people on all sides of politics, who were in favor of all types of causes. It's hard to decide whether it was the darkest manifestation of social Darwinism or the darkest manifestation of progressivism.

10. Religion and Reform (8 comments)
Mormon should be changed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This was and still is the real name of the religion.
Spelling correction: runaway

This is a very shallow summary of the life of Joseph Smith and the impact he had on religion in America.
A few clarifications—the rites he instituted in the temples were not "secret" as it says. They were held very sacred to members of the church, and were not to be shared outside the temple because of its sacredness.
When this mentions polygamy, it mentions nothing about why it was instituted among members of this church —the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (not the "Mormon Church"). Polygamy was very distasteful to most members of the church. They were only willing to participate in it because they believed it was a commandment that god restored once again—a commandment which he had given to many other biblical prophets. Joseph Smith never claimed ownership of the idea of polygamy, but that he received divine revelation and commandment from God to institute it among the people for the purpose of accelerating the growth of a righteous people. This is why they did it, not because they were experimenting sexually.
The way this paragraph is worded is mildly offensive
Also, Joseph Smith did not borrow the idea of sending out missionaries from the Methodists. He was a prophet who drew upon revelation from God, not from existing religious organizations. He also drew inspiration from the New Testament, The Book of Mormon, and from revelations given to him (since he was a prophet) which are now compiled and known as the Doctrine and Covenants.
It is Mary Lyon
NOT Mary Lyons.
19. American Empire (8 comments)
Mahan was arguably the most influential American strategist of the 19th and early 20th Centuries. It would be helpful to include a selection from his work, "The Influence of Sea Power upon History" in the primary sources for this chapter.
This paragraph basically reproduces the content of paragraph 39.
"For instance" used twice in close proximity. Consider revision.
Perhaps: "In spite of their christian motivations, some Missionaries worked alongside business interests. American missionaries in Hawai'i, for example, obtained large tracts of land on which they started lucrative sugar plantations."
I think the topic of Hawaiian annexation needs to be addressed with more detail. Sanford B. Dole, King Kalākaua, The Bayonet Constitution, Queen Liliuokalani and other details deserve to be discussed.
The separation of Panama from Colombia took place in 1903, not 1901.

Please consider adding more information about Puerto Rico. In this and most other history books, it is simply listed along with Guam and the Philippines as the spoils of the War of 1898. It ignores the fact that unlike the Philippines, Puerto Rico has remained connected to the United States, with a proscribed citizenship since 1917. The US-PR relationship has left the island in limbo since the Insular Cases defined as being "foreign in a domestic sense," and it faces the same problem in academic history. It is neither claimed by Latin Americanists, nor by United States historians. It is time to acknowledge the intrinsic connection between the US and PR, its imperial nature, and its catastrophic consequences.

In an open-book exam, I asked students to describe the difference between indentured servants and enslaved workers, and many students went to this paragraph to seek an explanation. The inclusion of "tithable" is confusing to students, and while this point in the legal history can be clarifying for scholars, it makes no sense to readers in an introductory survey course. Also, I never found a clear statement of the distinctions between indentured servants and enslaved workers, but maybe I have missed it.
It might be more useful to include this specific reference to the notion of an African woman being "tithable" in a footnote, but to state the legal status of enslaved people more plainly.
I think the Gallay reference should be in an endnote?

At the beginning of the paragraph, there is an extra "In" at the beginning of the sentence.
There are two "In"s
I'm writing on behalf of an undergraduate class of students at Rice University, who suggest:
"We would suggest elaborating on the final phrase 'in the hands of those who opposed it.' It's an incredibly nebulous phrase that fails to identify the full scope of massive resistance to desegregation, and leaves it to the reader to assume who the opponents of integration were. The photographs demonstrate resistance, but one way to incorporate it into the text would be to cite the Southern Manifesto. Several high profile political figures including all but three southern senators were a part of the aforementioned massive resistance, and they should be identified (for details on this and their names, see James Patterson, Grand Expectations, Page 398). This will improve the narrative by telling a more accurate picture of how Brown v Board was received by the country."
In paragraph 67, there is an extra "In" at the beginning.

The Battle of Whitestone Hill took place from Sept. 3-5. Although the bulk of the fighting occurred on the 3rd, there were engagements on the 4th and 5th. Also, estimates of Sioux casualties range from 100-300. Might want to mention the name of the battle as well.
Annie shot apples off of her English Setter, I can't find any information about a poodle.
this is very bad
Titling this chapter "Conquering the West" perpetuates a triumphalist view of westward expansion and valorizes the perpetrators of genocide against Native peoples during the nineteenth century.
I strongly disagree. The title is cynical is can be used as a talking point in class what "Conquering the West" really meant, themes that the chapter certainly doesn't valorize.
For example, I title one of my lectures "The Wild West" not because I wax poetic on duels at high noon, but because it provides a jumping off point to describe the mythology of the Wild West and why Americans engaged in myth-making.
Should say "President Lincoln commuted all but thirty-eight of the sentences." Missing a hyphen (-)

Slaves had become more valuable and expensive.
It seems as though this section indicates that the rise of American cotton is directly responsible for the advent of the modern fashion system, which is not the case. "Fashion" – where styles change for change's sake – has been present since the 1400s. People have been wearing decoration on their apparel that goes beyond utility since apparel was developed.
The use of the word "honest" seems disingenuous as well – all clothing has a function (to cover the body; to differentiate gender, age, status, etc; to protect from the elements…). What does "honest" refer to?
Morgan — and others, including John Thornton — show that those first "20 Negars and then some" were not exactly unfree. Or if they were, they were as "unfree" as poor white indentured servants from England were. Virginia colonists baptized those first 20 men from Africa (who were traded for food). According to English law, a person who was baptized could not be enslaved. This would change, of course. See "The Terrible Transformation," part of the PBS series, Africans in the Americas.
The story of Anthony Johnson is instructive. He arrived in the VA colony somewhere around 1619. He was baptized and he somehow managed to survive his term of servitude (unlike most in the first generations of the colony — the colony was a death trap). Johnson got his freedom dues and at some point he purchased "head rights" so that by 1655 he owned a modest plantation on which he grew tobacco. That was the year that one of his servants, a black man from Africa named Cesar, sued Johnson for his freedom. Cesar lost. Significant is that the local magistrate not only heard the case between two black men, but less significant is that he ruled in Johnson's favor.
When I teach Morgan and I pull out this primary source it doesn't take long for my students to figure out why the magistrate ruled in Johnson's favor: he was a landowner.
Colonists were still working out how racial inferiority and slavery was going to operate in the colony (and also neighboring colony of Maryland). You begin to see this gradually; but after Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 planters begin to move toward racialized slavery faster and systematically for a variety reasons, not least of which was that they wanted to continue to exploit workers to produce cash crop and at the same time mitigate the possibilities for interracial uprisings against the ruling elites.
[The world was slowly but surely coming closer together, and the South was right in the middle.]
The students in my class at Lehigh University felt that this sentence did not fully communicate how the brutality of slavery underwrote the dawn of globalization.
12. Manifest Destiny (7 comments)
Is this what's now called Oregon State, or the Oregon Territory?
this all can be edited don't trust it
Verb tense should be changed in sentence #2 of this paragraph. It should read:
"This treaty ceded lands in Georgia for $5 million and, the signatories hoped, would limit future conflicts between the Cherokee and white settlers.
In paragraph 29, there is an extra word that should be removed. It says:
"Not every instance was of removal was as treacherous…"
The first "was" in that sentence should be removed.
In the sentence that begins "Not every instance…" in paragraph 29, the transition "while, on the other hand," does not seem to fit well. This sentence might be better divided into two sentences, with some minor changes also made to the sentence that follows. Perhaps:
"Not every instance of removal was as treacherous or demographically disastrous as the Cherokee example. Furthermore, tribes responded in a variety of ways. Some tribes violently resisted removal. Ultimately, over sixty…"
The periodization with this is awkward. Manifest Destiny is best dealt with as a Western phenomenon. Indian Removal should be dealt with earlier under the Age of Jackson. Placing it here makes this chapter longer than it need be, and confuses the issues here.
General Comments (6 comments)
Some of the paragraphs the text size is smaller then others for not apparent reason.
I don't know if there is way to fix that but, if possible please try.
It would be fantastic if there were instructor resources (quiz questions, etc.) available as well.
It would be useful to include in the primary sources for Chapter 6, the US Constitution, since so much of that chapter is dedicated to that document. It would also be nice to include a selection from The Federalist Papers so students can understand the framing of the debate over the Constitution. Given the polarized nature of the electorate today, perhaps Federalist 10 would serve the purpose.
It would be great if you could highlight the text and underline it, as if it were a real textbook. Having a toolbar that allows you to take notes like you do in a physical book would be utterly helpful.
The book cannot teach for you, its not meant for that.
Where are the page numbers? I am using the online text for class, and we are asked to site directly from the text. However, unless I am missing something, the online text does not have a convenient way to find the page numbers.
18. Life in Industrial America (5 comments)
I suggest a word change in this sentence:
Immigrant communities published newspapers in dozens of languages and purchased spaces to maintain their arts, languages, and traditions alive.
Either remove the word "alive' or change the word "maintain" to "keep." Such a change will improve the readability of the passage. Thank you.
This paragraph should mention and define patronage so students reading this will wonder why in the world machine bosses engaged in these types of "mutual aid" activities.
There is a typo towards the end of the paragraph:
"A Russian Jewish family persecuted in European pogroms…" should be programs.
plz help me this reading takes too long
"Pogroms" is the correct word here. A pogrom is an organized riot/massacre. I've only ever heard the term used in this specific situation, where Europeans planned the wholesale destruction of a Jewish community.

Shouldn't the Republicans actually be called the "Democratic-Republicans," since the actual Republican party wasn't started until the 1850s to combat slavery?
"White supremacist" – presentism

14. The Civil War (5 comments)
I don't think this is a "photograph" like it says it is.
the south was right
You just need to insert the opening parentheses before "Peace Democrat" at the end of the paragraph 🙂
The characterization of Douglas as pro-slavery is misleading and confusing. While Douglas' personal position on the slavery question remains up for debate (see Graham Peck's Making an Antislavery Nation and Adam I.P. Smith's The Stormy Present for contrasting perspectives) the fact that mattered at Charleston in 1860 was that he had taken a moderately anti-slavery stand over Lecompton– thus alienating Southern Democrats. The Douglas Democrats failed to adopt an explicitly pro-slavery platform at Charleston and stuck to popular sovereignty (with all of its ambiguity). For clarity in this paragraph, I would simply label Douglas as "a champion of popular sovereignty" rather than "a pro-slavery moderate."
Why isn't there information about Native Americans fighting as soldiers in the Civil War?
23. The Great Depression (4 comments)
The 1937 strike at GM in Flint, MI was not "the first instance of a 'sit-down' strike." It's debated which was the first sit-down strike in US labor history, but many cite a brewery workers strike in Cincinnati in 1884, or Akron, Ohio rubber workers strike in 1936. The 1937 sit-down at Flint was probably the most historically significant sit-down strike, but not the first use of the tactic.
Honestly, this needs to be two chapters – one on the Depression and a second one on the New Deal. Combining them doesn't allow sufficient emphasis on either.
27. The Sixties (4 comments)
George Wallace did not by any means embody conservative views, he was a typical, racist liberal democrat. This needs to be changed immediately. This skewing of history books to fit an agenda bullshit needs to stop. Write the history as it happened. Stop being assholes, thanks. The democrats are the true racists from the beginning. They always have been and will continue to be.
The most prominent pre-UFWA Latino rights group after WWII was the GI Forum led by Hector Garcia. They first broke into national prominence by their support for Felix Longoria, a WWII fatality whose family was denied waking rights in the local chapel in Three Rivers, Texas. This greatly expanded their reach as they organized Latino vets all over the country to fight for GI Bill and voting rights. They were successful in these fights and even got the first Latinos appointed to high office as a result of their political support of Kennedy and Johnson with the Viva Kennedy and Viva Johnson clubs.
They should have a paragraph of their own in the 1950s chapter, but at least a meniton in the line in front of MAPA and MALDF.
Dave, Please do not use foul mouth. Also, you wrote that comment at 4:30 am… how logical could your thought process have been.

I think you have done a wonderful job of scholarship on what you have in this chapter, but I believe that there are some key aspects that shouldn't get left out. H.W. Bush's Panamanian invasion and the ouster of Noriega is missing here. I believe that it fits in with the long shadow of both Cold War anticommunism, globalized economics, Latin American foreign policy and the Drug Wars. I would be happy to provide content if you wished. My feeling was that it belonged somewhere between paragraph 10 and 11.
Should be "Katherine Harris" instead of "Kathleen Harris"
I would suggest less on Clinton's attacks on Iraq while being sure to mention that a key cause of the Iraq war (besides WMD)was the false allegation that Saddam was allies with al Qaeda. Thank you!

I know talking about "liberalism" is alway going to be imperfect, but the phrase "economic liberalism" here is especially apt to be misconstrued. Instructors like myself take the time to peel back common (and historical) misuses of the term liberalism, and usages like this have the potential to undo some of that work.

Leg Cramps on Keto
If you are just starting out on any form of low-carb diet, keto being one of them, then you should have thoroughly done your research first and be aware of the potential side effects and more importantly, what you can positively do to manage and reverse them while you remain on your chosen diet plan.
What Kind of Symptoms are to Be Expected on the Keto Diet?
Symptoms can range from headaches and feeling more tired than normal, to bad breath and constipation. More extreme symptoms can include issues like heart palpitations, hair loss, and an elevated cholesterol level.
However, one of the most commonly reported problems is leg cramps, and we'll be going on to uncover more about the reasons why in today's blog post. The main solution to most of these problems which are not to be unexpected when you embark on a diet low in carbohydrates is to increase your salt and water intake.
In fact, certain ambassadors of this particular diet, actively encourage as part of a preventative program to increase your intake of salt and water the minute you embark on this diet plan. You may even find that in doing so, you don't experience these problems at all, but certainly, they can be managed and minimized.
It's All About Staying Hydrated
In a nutshell, when you become dehydrated, either because you don't drink enough fluids, sweat profusely due to physical exertion, work outdoors in the heat or have a bout of stomach illness, then you are going to be prone to leg cramps. The same can, unfortunately, be said for when you are in the early stage of a new low-carb diet regime as your body is quickly learning how to metabolize your fat stores for energy rather than using the usual carbohydrate supply. This stage is called ketosis
What Exactly is Ketosis?
In a normal standard American diet at least, the norm is for a significant source of our daily calorie intake to come from the consumption of carbohydrates. The body, in turn, converts the carbohydrates into glucose to be used at a later stage as energy. The issue is that glucose can't be used straight away and so it gets stored as glycogen to be burned off later.
When you switch to a low-carb or keto diet, your body has to re-educate itself and use your fat reserves instead for energy. This process doesn't happen overnight, and in the meantime, your body begins to produce ketones or rather, goes into that process known as ketosis.
What Impact Does That Have on Your Body?
Your body pulls out glycogen from wherever it can access it in those early days and weeks while your body is still learning how to metabolize those fat reserves instead. The next place it grabs it from is your body's water content. This is why you seemingly drop initial weight so quickly but also why you become dehydrated and lacking in the electrolytes that can annoyingly lead to leg cramps.
The Link Between Ketosis and Those Leg Cramps
Cramps are a common but uncomplicated side effect of being on the popular keto diet, and while there's no need to raise the alarm bells, they can be indicative of exactly what's going on your body and some areas that you might want to consider addressing.
Leg cramps aren't dangerous, but they can certainly be painful, and you never know when they might strike – on the commute to work, at the gym, as you're about to tackle the leg press machine or even in bed just as you are about to nod off. Either way, they're frustrating and need to be managed.
A Loss of Minerals Due to Increased Urination
One of the reasons that we develop muscle cramps, especially in our lower body, is down to a mineral imbalance and when you are on any kind of restrictive diet which eliminates specific food sources, symptoms like cramps can occur.
One solution is to take a magnesium supplement as it's normally a depletion in the body of your levels of magnesium that causes cramps. This can be down to the simple fact that you are urinating far more often than usual on your new diet, increasing your water intake and restricting your food groups.
How to Counteract the Loss of Magnesium
The simple answer is to increase your water intake along with taking on board a little more salt. The combination of these will help to prevent leg cramps, and as you probably already know, the more hydrated your body is, the better it will function and flush out toxins too. You could also consider taking a slow releasing magnesium tablet to ensure that your body is getting the correct dose while you are on that keto diet.
Important! Before taking any vitamin or mineral solution make sure to consult your doctor for your overall health. Make sure your kidneys are working properly.
You Could Also Be Lacking Other Essential Minerals
Other minerals that you could be lacking on the ketogenic diet, which again an unbalance of which can result in the physical manifestation of cramps, are both sodium and potassium. These two elements are frequently combined in electrolyte drinks which are administered in situations where a much-needed boost of hydration is required.
Endurance athletes for example who are prone to dehydration due to the immense physical exertion they put their bodies through will take on board electrolyte drinks to rebalance their mineral levels. Electrolyte replacement isn't just something that patients after a bout of sickness need to be concerned about.
Low Sodium Has Further Adverse Effects on the Body
Low sodium intake also has another effect on the body, forcing the kidneys to waste what potassium they do have in reserve which is another contributing factor towards making your muscles feel and act more irritated, resulting in an increased propensity toward cramping.
There's plenty of scientific evidence and documented information about the interrelationship between mineral depletion, lack of hydration, and electrolytes all of which are linked to the keto diet.
The Solution to Those Leg Cramps
Allow yourself a little extra salt intake which you are on the keto diet, especially during those early stages and make sure that you are drinking lots of water. Also, try and avoid any further diuretics such as alcohol and coffee to keep your body thoroughly hydrated throughout the day.

She writes, she speaks, of everybody as they deserve. If you point me out but any one occasion, upon which you have reason to build a merit to yourself, as either just or good, or even generous, I will look out for her letter on that occasion (if such an occasion there be, I have certainly acquainted her with it); and will engage it shall be in your favour.
Devilish severe! And as indelicate as severe, to put a modest man upon hunting backward after his own merits.
She would have flung from me: I will not be detained, Mr. Lovelace. I will go out.
Indeed you must not, madam, in this humour. And I placed myself between her and the door. And then, fanning, she threw herself into a chair, her sweet face all crimsoned over with passion.
I cast myself at her feet.—Begone, Mr. Lovelace, said she, with a rejecting motion, her fan in her hand; for your own sake leave me! My soul is above thee, man! with both her hands pushing me from her! Urge me not to tell thee, how sincerely I think my soul above thee! Thou hast in mine, a proud, a too proud heart, to contend with! Leave me, and leave me for ever! Thou hast a proud heart to contend with!
Her air, her manner, her voice, were bewitchingly noble, though her words were so severe.
Let me worship an angel, said I, no woman. Forgive me, dearest creature! Creature if you be, forgive me! Forgive my inadvertencies! Forgive my inequalities! Pity my infirmities! Who is equal to my Clarissa?
I trembled between admiration and love; and wrapt my arms about her knees, as she sat. She tried to rise at the moment; but my clasping round her thus ardently, drew her down again; and never was woman more affrighted. But free as my clasping emotion might appear to her apprehensive heart, I had not, at the instant, any thought but what reverence inspired. And till she had actually
withdrawn (which I permitted under promise of a speedy return, and on her consent to dismiss the chair) all the motions of my heart were as pure as her own.
She kept not her word. An hour I waited before I sent to claim her promise. She could not possibly see me yet, was the answer. As soon as she could, she would.
Dorcas says, she still excessively trembled; and ordered her to give her hartshorn and water.
Monday, Two o'clock.
Not yet visible !—My beloved is not well. What expectations had she from my ardent admiration of her! —More rudeness than revenge apprehended. Yet, how my soul thirsts for revenge upon both these ladies! I must have recourse to my master-strokes. This cursed project of Miss Howe and her Mrs. Townsend (if I cannot contrive to render it abortive) will be always a sword hanging over my head. Upon every little disobligation my beloved will be for taking wing; and the pains I have taken to deprive her of every other refuge or protection in order to make her absolutely dependent upon me, will be all thrown away. But perhaps I shall find out a smuggler to counterplot Miss Howe.
And now, Belford, according to my new system, I think this house of Mrs. Fretchville an embarrass upon me. I will get rid of it; for some time at least. Mennell, when I am out, shall come to her, enquiring for me. What for? thou'lt ask. What for !—Hast thou not heard what has befallen poor Mrs. Fretchville ?—Then Fll tell thee.
One of her maids, about a week ago, was taken with the small-pox. The rest kept their mistress ignorant of it till Friday; and then she came to know it by accident. The greater half of the plagues poor mortals of condition are tormented with, proceed from the servants they take, partly for show, partly for use, and with a view to lessen their cares.
This has so terrified the widow, that she is taken with
all the symptoms that threaten an attack from that dreadful enemy of fair faces.—So must not think of removing: yet cannot expect, that we should be further delayed on her account.
So this affair of the house will be over; at least, for one while. But then I can fall upon an expedient which will make amends for this disappointment. I must move slow, in order to be sure. I have a charming contrivance or two in my head, even supposing my beloved should get away, to bring her back again.
But what is become of Lord M. I trow, that he writes not to me, in answer to my invitation? If he would send me such a letter as I could show, it might go a great way towards a perfect reconciliation. I have written to Charlotte about it.
Monday Evening.
At my repeated request she condescended to meet me in the dining-room to afternoon tea, and not before.
She entered with bashfulness, as I thought; in a pretty confusion, for having earned her apprehensions too far. Sullen and slow moved she towards the tea-table.— Dorcas present, busy in tea-cup preparations. I took her reluctant hand, and pressed it to my lips—Dearest, loveliest of creatures, why this distance? Why this displeasure?—How can you thus torture the faithfullest heart in the world?
She disengaged her hand. Again I would have snatched it.
Be quiet, peevishly withdrawing it: and down she sat; a gentle palpitation in the beauty of beauties indicating mingled sullenness and resentment; her snowy handkerchief rising and falling, and a sweet flush overspreading her charming cheeks.
For God's sake, madam!—And a third time I would have taken her repulsing hand.
And for the same sake, sir; no more teazing.
My indignation rises against you, Mr. Lovelace, while I speak to you, when I recollect the many instances, equally ungenerous and unpolite, of your behaviour to one whom you have brought into distress—and I can hardly bear you in my sight.
She turned from me, standing up; and lifting up her folded hands, and charming eyes swimming in tears, O my Father, said the inimitable creature, you might have spared your heavy curse, had you known how I have been punished, ever since my swerving feet led me out of your garden-doors to meet this man !—Then, sinking into her chair, a burst of passionate tears forced their way down her glowing cheeks.
My dearest life, taking her still folded hands in mine, who can bear an invocation so affecting, though so passionate?
And, as I hope to live, my nose tingled, as I once, when a boy, remember it did (and indeed once more very lately) just before some tears came into my eyes; and I durst hardly trust my face in view of hers.
What have I done to deserve this impatient exclamation?
O Mr. Lovelace, we have been long enough together, to be tired of each other's humours and ways; ways and humours so different, that perhaps you ought to dislike me, as much as I do you.— I think, I think, that I cannot make an answerable return to the value you profess for me. My temper is utterly ruined. You have given me an ill opinion of all mankind; of yourself in particular: and withal so bad a one of myself, that I shall never be able to look up, having utterly and for ever lost all that self-complacency, and conscious pride, which are so necessary to carry a woman through this life with tolerable satisfaction to herself.
She paused. I was silent. By my soul, thought I, this sweet creature will at last undo me!
She proceeded.—What now remains, but that you pronounce me free of all obligation to you? And that you hinder me not from pursuing the destiny that shall be allotted me?
Again she paused. I was still silent; meditating whether to renounce all further designs upon her; whether I had not received sufficient evidence of a virtue, and of a greatness of soul, that could not be questioned or impeached.
She went on: Propitious to me be your silence, Mr. Lovelace !—Tell me, that I am free of all obligation to you. You know, I never made you promises.—You know, that you are not under any to me.—My broken fortunes I matter not—
She was proceeding—My dearest life, said I, I have been all this time, though you fill me with doubts of your favour, busy in the nuptial preparations. I am actually in treaty for equipage.
Equipage, sir !—Trappings, tinsel!—What is equipage; what is life ; what is anything; to a creature sunk so low as I am in my own opinion!
I had not a word to say for myself. Such a war in my mind had I never known. Gratitude, and admiration of the excellent creature before me, combating with villainous habit, with resolutions so premeditatedly made, and with views so much gloried in!—A hundred new contrivances in my head, and in my heart, that, to be honest, as it is called, must all be given up, by a heart delighting in intrigue and difficulty—Miss Howe's virulences endeavoured to be recollected—Yet recollection refusing to bring them forward with the requisite efficacy— I had certainly been a lost man, had not Dorcas come seasonably in, with a letter.—On the superscription written —Be pleased, sir, to open it now.
I retired to the window—opened it.—It was from Dorcas herself.—These the contents.—" Be pleased to detain my
