Re-thinking Aids

The licensing of medical practices in Singapore is presided by the Ministry of Health (MOH). Applications are made to Central Licensing Branch (CLB) of MOH.

Singapore allows individuals with medical licenses, societies and organizations to start a dental practice. You can choose to register the dental clinic under a business entity; however, you will first have to register with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (ACRA). Once you have establish a business entity with ACRA, you will then apply for a license with CLB.

The procedure to set up a dental clinic is similar to that of a medical clinic. The application for license and fees are to be made to CLB. Application will only be processed when the license fees and complete required documents are submitted. If you plan to have more than one branch for your dental clinic, you are required to file a separate application for each branch. MOH licenses each medical facility individually, and requires a separate license for x-ray laboratory. Each license is valid for two years. The dental clinic has to be issued a license by MOH to practice before you can start offering your services to the public.

Choosing a Name

An important thing to note is choosing the appropriate name for the dental clinic. As of June 1, 2009, The name for any medical facilities cannot have the words ‘Singapore’ and ‘National’ without prior approval from MOH.

Psychiatry is a nineteenth century school of the mind, which believed that:

 *Man is an animal.

*All Man’s thought, emotion, inspiration, hopes and dreams result from chemical and electrical activity in the brain.

*Man has no soul.

*The causes of Man’s woes cannot be rectified but they can be suppressed and their symptoms anesthetized by a direct attack on the body, brain and nervous system, through electric shocks and other methods of altering structure, removing or disabling sections of the brain or chemical poisons known as drugs.

When the lack of results achieved by such brutal interventions became a liabilty, psychiatry later added genetics, which asserted that nothing could be done about the mind because human difficulties were inherited: that is, pre-programmed into the person’s genes.

Psychiatry was able to establish itself as an authority on the mind because in the nineteenth century very little was known about the mind. The physical sciences were ascendant and psychiatry was able to make itself sound scientific.

Close examination of psychiatry reveals that its claims to science are bogus. I invite you to verify this for yourself by examining its methodology against the criteria for a true science. However, dressed up in pseudo-scientific trappings, and funded through the decades by governments and corporate/banking interests who have failed to make any such examination, psychiatry clung to its status as an authority on the mind until recent times. This was despite the fact that it was never able to produce workable methods with desirable results, a betterment of Man’s conditions or the resolution of his problems.  Read more...

Making healthy choices in your life – whether about what you eat or how you live your life – is not as difficult as you might imagine. Healthy choices begin with taking small steps in the right direction. A few healthy choices today can lead to a lifetime of creating healthy habits.

You don’t need to be a gym rat or spend hours studying technical information to start moving in the right direction. Simple steps can go a long way.

And whatever your goal in wanting to live a healthy, well-balanced life, there are a few things you can do to improve your health and bolster your well-being right now.

Here are a few things you can start doing today to live a healthier life:

• Cut Back on Added Sugars

We’ve all looked at labels and wonder what these long, strange words are. More often than not, they are added sugars. A lot of today’s convenience foods contain high levels of sugar – sometimes labeled as “high fructose corn syrup.” This additive is a synthetic (read: fake) form of sugar. It does not give us sustainable energy and in fact, it gives us a quick boost of energy and then a really big let down. And the more we eat, the more we crave that sugary substance. Before you buy something, take a look at its ingredient list. Added sugars come in a variety of different terms. The most common added sugars are called sucrose, glucose, fructose, and dextrose. And anything with “syrup” at the end can be guaranteed to be not the healthier choice of the day. Instead, go for an all-natural juice or sodas made with real sugar. These can be found in your health food isle and will give you that sugar craving fix without filling your body with laboratory invented fake sugars.  Read more...

Pig our on veggies, yes you are reading this right, pig out on veggies. Most vegetables are very low in calories and packed with nutrition. There are some though, that are better for fat loss than others.

* Green vegetables:

Most green vegetables are excellent for weight loss. Take note though, that peas are very high in carbs and must rather be considered a carbohydrate than a green vegetable. You also have to take care that you do not add calories with your cooking methods; for instance, spinach can be considered a free vegetable, but as soon as you make creamed spinach it becomes very high in calories and are completely unsuitable.

* Yellow vegetables:

Here you can go overboard. Carrots are a very good choice and even pumpkin, if you do not add anything can taste very good and be very satisfying.  Read more...
