Therefore, this part of the presentation will deal with the future of alternative medicine in two parts, the first part is the factors shaping the future of alternative medicine, and the…
Figure 5: Semi-quantitative PCR analysis of CHOP splicing variants in plasmids and liver tissues, and CHOP exon arrangements. (A) CHOP1 mRNA contains four exons, whereas CHOP2 mRNA lacks the second exon of CHOP1. The 5 '-leader of CHOP is encoded within the first and second exons, while the coding sequence is encoded within the third and fourth exons of CHOP. (B) As expected, CHOP1 primers amplified CHOP1 transcripts at the size of 214 bp in the CHOP1 plasmid template containing the full…
Within the reigns of medicine, there are many different pathways that are constantly being explored. Treatment plans are rarely the same for any two people, which makes certain studies of medical practices superior to others during individual times. Depending on the context and situation, either allopathic or traditional Chinese medical practices could be used. From these base categories further specifications can be made. It is becoming more and more popular to see patients want to try to…
to face many challenges, replacing fossil fuels with alternative energy resources, not only helps to create a cleaner environment, it also helps reduce the bills. However, not everyone is aware of these issues. It’s time we realize that there is only a matter of time before we have globally consumed all available fossil fuels. We have reached a point in time where we must look into alternative resources preferably renewable ones. Alternative resources range from getting our energy from the sun,…
nature and know what parts of the plant to use and how. Learning the history of herbal medicine in differing cultures and how this practice began will be incredibly fulfilling. I am interested in understanding what plants we over cultivate and what alternatives we can use in their place. It is important to know the limitations of our earth and the support it provides for us when practicing natural medicine. I believe the herbal sciences program at Bastyr University can help me gain the…
That is why hydro-power is influential in supporting a movement towards using renewable energy. Solar Power Solar power is a form of renewable energy that is beneficial to the consumer. The government is well aware of the public’s concern to reduce high energy cost while the overall need for energy has increased. It is argued that switching to solar power will cost the consumer more and also be more of an embarrassment for them to have bulky technology attached to their homes. However, this…
The Dangers of Alternative Medicine For as long as modern medicine has existed, people who do not trust in it have followed. Most have met someone of this sort, people who believe that doctors are dangerous and untrustworthy are everywhere. With the rise of social media, they try to convince the world that vaccines are dangerous and how we must use mystery herbs to cleanse our bodies of invisible toxins. This distrust in modern medicine puts oneself and others at risk in many ways. Of the…
Cultural diversity is essentially the existence of a multitude of different cultural and ethnic groups within a society.

Furthermore, it’s important to provide culturally competent care, which means “having the knowledge, abilities and skills to deliver care…
What is democracy? According to Webster’s dictionary, it is a form of government in which the people vote for their leader. In my opinion it is much more than that. I think democracy is not only people picking leaders as much as it is the freedom of choice. Democracy is the freedom to choose how we live our lives on daily basis. Growing up, we get to decide what our life dreams and goals are. I think in a democratic nation that we should be given the tools to succeed and the freedom to do as we…
You are aimlessly staring at your professor while they give their hour and a half long lecture. At the end of it all you wonder “Well what did I get out of this? I just know what I think I need to know.” Here you have two cases in one example. According to The Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire this is a common practice of “the banking concept” in effect. On the other end, according to hooks’s Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom, this is an example of a “passive…
