Weekend Adventurers

I don't know what the weather is like where you are but here in Austin, it has been a hot dry miserable and sometimes smoky summer. Now that things have begun to cool into the low 90's we've been getting back outdoors and doing our best to take advantage of the weekends.

Saturday morning we woke up in the pre-dawn hours as usual and started packing our bags for an adventure. We asked our three(and a half) year old what he wanted to do. His answer, "I want a go to a state park." So, following his direction, we pulled up the state park website and quickly narrowed down our choices, thanks to the recent wildfires. We settled upon Pedernales Falls and we were off.

After a short hour and a half drive we arrived. We decided to check out the swimming area and were surprised that there were no other cars there. As we walked down the half mile trail we quickly surmised why. The water was less than two feet at its deepest point. The rock that you can stand on in the middle of the swimming area stood five feet out of the water and the dock stood a full thirty feet from the water's edge. you could say it was a little dry. But, not one whose fond of crowds, I loved it. We spent the afternoon trying to catch fish by hand and skipping rocks in the "river." I think most of the rocks simply bounced off of others but I wasn't going to say anything and crush the pride I saw in their faces. There is nothing more natural or enjoyable than seeing that inquisitive spirit of a young child when it meets raw and uncontrolled wild.

Don't tell the kids, but there is learning there, too. It comes from questions and inspections and interactions with things not seen before. You have the option of playing games or instructing or geocaching but much of the time the majority of what they will learn is that which they try and find out themselves.

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
