In the wheel of life, without realizing a lot of threats and hazards referred to the risk of life. The risk of the lives of ordinary tangible illness, critical illness, permanent disability or death.

6 Basic Principles of Insurance

In the insurance world there are 6 kinds of basic principles that must be met, namely:

benefits of insurance

Insurance benefits

* Insurable : interest right to insure arising out of a financial relationship, between the insured and the insured is legally recognized.

* An action : Utmost good faith to disclose accurately and completely, all facts material (material fact) about something that would be insured, whether requested or not. The meaning is: the insurer must honestly explain everything clearly about the extent of the terms / conditions of the insurer and the insured must also provide a clear and correct for objects or interests of the insured.

* Proximate : cause means the active, efficient cause that chain of events that brings about a result without the intervention of any force started and working actively from a new and independent source.

* Subrogation : transfer of demand from the insured to the insurer after a claim has been paid.

* Contribution : right person to invite the other person equally bear, but do not have the same obligations to the insured to participate in providing indemnity.

At this time has developed various types of insurance in society, in risk management, insurance allows sharing and transferring risk, this is the best way to compensate. Most people, do not understand the fundamental differences in the type of insurance, but insurance program to determine the most suitable to the needs, we must recognize the types of insurance.


Insurance is divided into two main types
1. Traditional Insurance
2. Non-Traditional Insurance (modern)

In the traditional insurance, is divided into several types of insurance, the insurer usually has long been used by consumers.

Traditional insurance consists of:

1. TERM
2. Wholelife
3. Endowment

Explanation TERM insurance

- You never know about Auto Insurance or Motor? Or maybe health insurance? Well kind of term insurance is usually purchased by many people, because the premium payment cheap and get great benefits. In other words, pay less, failure by many, but if it is not used in insurance claims and does not occur, then the money we deposited will be forfeited. Of that fact, we can see, no savings element in this type of insurance, so call us to buy our security guarantee within 1 year or a certain period. We pay the same as travel insurance, time will be billed an amount of money on a plane, after getting off the plane safely, the contract is completed. Because the premium payment period is not specified, then every year, premiums will increase with age insured.

Wholelife insurance explanation

- Wholelife, meaningful life. This type of insurance protects the insured until the end of the age, are usually covered up to age 99 years. And great! premium payment period is determined from the outset, there could be no extension of the period of premium payment. If elected for a 5-year, five-year pay him yes, then life will not be billed again, whenever we passed, we can still claim the sum assured that we have planned. Because the system is saved, then started the second year of the policy cash value is created, in particular the savings can be captured at up to 80%. Cool ga? Besides protection still go ahead, there are also savings, but the cash value is not much compared to the value of PROTECTION.

Endowment insurance explanation

- Endowment, this is life insurance with a value greater savings. In certain years the savings can be withdrawn in accordance with the program. Usually this type of insurance known as education insurance or pension insurance. Insurance education is determined when the money could be taken for school fees dearest. The Endowment system, life insurance savings bonus, if anything happens when saving, then we get the sum assured as death benefit, but in the event of an obligation to pay claims, insurance companies still pay the claim until the contract is completed. Usually the premium offered is much larger than the type TERM and Wholelife.

Modern Insurance

Non Traditional insurance or insurance called modern, is a type of insurance with UNIT-LINK. Where the Unit Link Insurance is very popular at the moment, why? because unit-Link is a type of insurance that combines life insurance and investments. Mated life insurance with investment, is a type TERM. Remember! TERM if it is a short-term insurance, and insurance costs could rise with age.

UNIT + LINK = TERM Investment

Most people take a Unit Linked because they want to save the results many times, than have savings in the bank, the interest does not amount to much. By investing or MUTUAL FUND, then the money we invest will grow prolifically. But you have to remember, the greater the profit, the greater the risk.

Investment can increase and may decline, according to the economic development of the nation at that time. In times of crisis, it is certain that the value of investments that we have dropped dramatically, and consequently the value of our savings will be depleted. If so, do not protest my last want gain a lot, means must bear the loss as well .. :)

It is certain, on the type of unit link insurance, do not have a cash value that is guaranteed, even the company that issued the insurance policy, the cash value can not promise that obtained in X. Another case of traditional insurance, in her policy is clearly stated and guaranteed cash values ​​obtained in X.

Because there is no guaranteed cash value, probably in the 11th or so, the insured must pay the premiums back, even though the promised pay only 10 years old, in fact is not listed in the policy premium payment period, so that premiums can be BILLED BACK at any time.

Link Unit, bear the cost of life insurance is the type TERM, then each year the costs will go up with age, and the cash value that is formed will cut the cost of insurance and other administrative costs.

This of course will impact on alcohol consumption by humans is not entirely negative or damaging the body.

"We believe what we found has shown that alcohol consumption may have a protective effect against infectious diseases, especially against parasites that invade through the blood," said Dr. Todd Schlenke, author of the study published in scientificamerican.com.

Todd is also an expert at Emory University evolutionary geneticist added, "Fruit flies may be able to adapt to alcohol, therefore used as a drug. But then we tried to raise the question becomes, if the flies could use alcohol to control parasites in the blood, other organisms including humans possible to control parasites in the blood by using high doses of alcohol? "

Todd studied two species of wasps lay their eggs and larvae in the fruit fly. When the wasp eggs hatch, the baby wasps eat fly larvae from the inside out. If you consume a lot of alcohol fruit flies, wasps difficult to lay their eggs in the larvae of flies. Even if the bees do it, there will be lots of eggs that hatched.

Inside the fruit is ripe, fly larvae consume 5-15% alcohol. "They (the flies) generally live with alcohol," said Tood.

Tood also said that he wanted to test whether flies consume alcohol can prevent what is called "endoparasitoid" wasps that eat the flies from the inside out. So to a study appearing in the journal Current Biology, the researchers releasing some flies on petri dishes containing food flies (6% alcohol on half of the plate and the free alcohol on the other side).

After 24 hours, 80 percent of the infected flies wasp eggs on the side of alcohol, while only 30 percent of the uninfected larvae of fruit flies were on the other side is free of alcohol.

cupping health benefits

Cupping or hijamah is a treatment technique by throwing dirty blood (harmful toxins) from the body through the skin surface. According to public schools, in fact it serves to remove the blood that has been damaged or oxidized due to high oxidant in the body.

Cupping blood is the blood that issued by the clerk of cupping of the body.
There are several features of the bruise blood that makes me stunned:

1. Oxidized blood without air (anaerobic).
2. Separation of plasma from blood.
3. Plasma discharge alone of the cupping place.
4. If we put the two cups to suck the blood, then the blood could have come out on the glass, but could not go out at all on the glass that one again, even though both are side by side.

Comparison of Laboratory Results Between Blood in Blood Vessels Set with Blood Out Because Cupping:

Based on the research, the benefits of cupping look as follows:
1. That the bruise blood containing one-tenth levels of white blood cells (leukocytes) in the blood that is in common. Was seen in all the cases studied, with no exceptions. This fact is staggering the doctors!! Therefore, how the blood can get out without the release of white blood cells? This fact suggests that cupping therapy remains to protect and at the same time strengthen the immune system elements.

2. As concerns the erythrocytes (red blood cells), all red blood cells have an odd shape, meaning that the cells are not able to activity call, in addition to also inhibit other cells are still young and active.

This suggests that the process of cupping throw red blood cells are damaged and are no longer needed blood, while retaining the white blood cells in the body. While fashd cause loss of blood composition useful with red blood cells to be cleared.

3. Bonding capacity of iron in the blood is very high cupping (550-1100), one thing that shows that the bruise maintain iron in the body do not come out with blood ejected with a bruise as the early use of iron in the formation of cell- new young cells.

4. Content of red blood cells and white blood cells in the blood of cupping high. This suggests that the cupping process succeeded in removing all dirt, rest, and erythrocyte sedimentation active pushing back the entire system and organs of the body.

Benefits of Paracetamol

paracetamol health benefits
paracetamol health benefits
Of the many anti-cold medication all containing the key ingredients, which is Paracetamol or acetaminophen. Paracetamol has actually been discovered arround 1880 when scientists working for malaria control, but the findings were still ignored. In 1956 the British company producing Frederick Stearns & Co. in the form of trademark Paracetamol Panadol (I did not know that this name trademark long), and two years later produced as the drug Panadol Elixir for children. In 1963 the patent expired paracetamol and become a generic name until now.

Until now, paracetamol has been growing rapidly in various dosage forms, chewable tablet, elixir, suspension drops and drops are packaged specifically for infants and children. Generally, these drugs are given to relieve the symptoms of fever, pain, and discomfort due to colds, flu, or for immunizations and dental growth.

In a class of analgesics, paracetamol or other names acetaminophen have the same efficacy as aspirin or non-steroidal medications antiinflamatory drug (NSAID) other. Such as aspirin, paracetamol inhibits prostaglandin effects (pain mediators) in the brain but little activity as an inhibitor of peripheral postaglandin.

However, unlike drugs NSAIDs, these drugs do not have anti-inflammatory activity (anti-inflammatory) and does not cause gastrointestinal disturbances and unfavorable effects kardiorenal. Therefore quite safe to use on all ages.

Over the many years of use, information about the workings of paracetamol in the body is not fully known to clear up in the year 2006 published in the journal of Bertolini A, et. al with Parasetamaol topic: New Vistas of An Old Drug, the action of paracetamol is a pain reliever. Apparently in the body of paracetamol analgesic effect mediated by indirect activity canabinoid CB1 receptors. In the brain and spinal cord, paracetamol undergo deacetylation reaction with acid to form N-arachidonoylfenolamin arachidonat, components, known as endogenous substances cababinoid. The presence of N-arachidonoylfenolamin canabinoid increase endogenous levels in the body, while also inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme that produces prostaglandins in the brain. Because canabino-mimetic effect of paracetamol is sometimes overused.

Actually paracetamol has rare serious side effects when used as directed. Some issues that said that drug is linked to asthma in children have not been clinically proven. Only sometimes these drugs can cause a rash or hives in certain people. Use of excessive and long-term needs to watch out because it can lead to liver damage. It should be noted also some signs of overdose of paracetamol for example if there are symptoms of nausea, vomiting, fatigue and excessive sweating.


Some important points to be observed in the use of paracetamol:

- Stop the use of paracetamol if fever lasts more than 3 days or worsen the pain more than 10 days, except on the advice of a doctor.

- For pregnant and lactating mothers, Consult with your doctor if you want to use this drug.

- People with liver disorders should not use this drug.

- Consult with your doctor before combining paracetamol with NSAID medications, anticoagulants (warfarin), or oral contraceptives.

- The use of paracetamol with alcohol dpat increase liver toxicity.

- Consumption of high doses of vitamin C can increase the levels of paracetamol in the body.

Paracetamol is safe to consume without including the effects of opiate drugs such as narcotics. For adults commonly consumed doses of 500mg, it could be seen in the composition of the various brands of cold medicine contains acetaminophen is between 400-600mg of other content in addition to lower levels, depending on the brand of the medicine. Although safety should not consume more than 5 grams of Paracetamol (weh, who is taking 10 tablets more?) In a day, let alone for an alcoholic, even can cause liver damage.

So, if you are cold do not hesitate to take this type of drug, because it is safe and you will not be addicted, unlike antibiotics should be careful (MUST be consumed dose) and have the doctor's prescription.

Antihistamines are commonly used to treat allergic reactions, caused by excessive body responses to allergens (allergy), such as plant pollen. Allergic reactions showed significant amounts of histamine release in the body.

Type And Benefits of Antihistamines

There are several types of antihistamines, which are grouped based on his goal against histamine receptors. below are type and benefits of Antihistamines :

Histamine H1 receptor antagonist

Clinically used to treat allergies. Examples of vine is: difenhidramina, loratadina, desloratadina, meclizine, quetiapine (an antihistamine nutritional side effects of antipsychotic medication), and prometazina.

Histamine H2 receptor antagonist

H2 histamine receptors found in the parietal cells. Performance is improving gastric acid secretion. Thus H2 receptor antagonists (H2 antihistamines) can be used to reduce gastric acid secretion, and can also be used to deal with peptic ulcer and reflux disease gastroesofagus. Examples of vine is simetidina, famotidina, ranitidina, nizatidina, roxatidina, and lafutidina.

Histamine H3 receptor antagonist

H3 antagonists have benefits as a stimulant and strengthens cognitive ability. Its use is being studied to treat Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. Examples of vine is ciproxifan, and clobenpropit.

Histamine H4 receptor antagonist

Immunomodulator evenly, being examined usefulness as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Examples are tioperamida.

Several other drugs also have antihistamine benefits. Examples are tricyclic antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. Prometazina is a drug originally intended as an antipsychotic, but is now used as an antihistamine. Other compounds such as compound-cromoglicate and nedocromil, can prevent release of histamine by stabilizing mast cells, thereby preventing the degranulation.

However with so many benefits of Antihistamines, one must remain alert about antihismines side effect by use medication according to rule.

Antibiotic for health benefits

The word derives Antibiotic (Word anti, 'against', bios, "life"), are substances produced by living organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and spores capable of inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms

Currently word can be used for antibiotic any natural or artificial substance capable of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.

Antibiotic history:

benefits of antibiotic
The most remote of antibiotics were the ancient Chinese over 2,500 years ago. It was known at the time that the application of soybean rust on bringing boils therapeutic benefits.

The application of wine, myrrh and minerals applied by the Greeks on the wounds of war.

La Quina (Cinchona) obtained from the bark of the cinchona, was the first effective antimicrobial parasite that was used for the treatment of febrile syndromes, and that cured malaria crises of the wife of the Count of Chinchon Viceroy of Peru in 1.638 .

Ehrlich discovered salvarsan in 1913 (dioxidiamino arsenobenzol) for the treatment of syphilis.

In 1897 Ernest Duchesne, experimenting with a fungus Penicillium glaucum. Duchesne had not even earned a doctorate degree when published.

Benefits of antibiotics

The infectious diseases were the leading cause of death even before the 50's such as tuberculosis, pneumonia are much less severe today.

Also used in the treatment and prevention of protozoal or fungal infections, particularly malaria (one of the main causes of death in developing countries).

They have also made a breakthrough in the field of surgery, allowing the realization of complex and protracted operations without excessive risk of infection.

Classification of antibiotics

Antibiotics can be divided into bactericidal and bacteriostatic

Bacteriostatic: inhibited bacterial growth eventually die or be attacked by the host defense mechanisms (tetracyclines and sulfonamides)

Bactericides: Antibiotics that damage the cell membrane produce a release of cellular metabolites abroad, and therefore his death. (Penicillins, cephalosporins)

Antibiotics according to their origin

Fungal: penicillins, cephalosporins.

Bacterial: polymyxins, Tyrothricin, colistin.

Actinomyces: streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, tobramycin, tetracycline, erythromycin.

Synthetic or Semi-synthetic: carbenicillin, methicillin, ticarcillin, imipenem, doxycycline. Minocycline, Clarithromycin, Azithromycin

Classification according to its spectrum

The spectrum is the population of an antibiotic-sensitive bacteria

Broad spectrum: Gram (+) and gram (-) anaerobic. Eg tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, meropenem

Narrow spectrum: Vancomycin for Gram (+) amikacin on Gram (-)

Spectrum Chemical ampliadomodificación to increase its spectrum. Ex: Amoxicillin

Mechanisms of bacterial resistance

Enzymes that destroy the active drug. Eg: lactamase

Change their permeability drug (porins). Eg pseudomonas beta-lactam

Structurally alter the target. Eg PBP mutation of pneumococcus

Develop a different metabolic pathway that bypasses the reaction inhibited by the drug. Eg increased production of PABA for sulfa

Increase in the expulsion of the drug. Eg E. coli to tetracyclines

Types of antibiotics

Empirical: the seed is not known, it is assumed. In cases of serious infections. It should cover the 90% chance of germs causing the infection.

Target: There is a bacterial isolation. With or without antibiogram

Action according to their concentration and administration.

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the bacteria is the concentration of the antimicrobial at which inhibit bacterial growth achieved

Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) is the concentration which is obtained by lysis of the bacteria

Concentration dependent: Whether concentrations subsequently fall below the MIC, because one fails to produce significant bacterial regrowth, a phenomenon known as post-antibiotic effect

Time dependent: The use of fractional doses adjusted to the average life of each antibacterial

Route of Administration

Intravenous: The best option for the management of severe infections which need high serum levels of antimicrobial

It has the disadvantage that you need to use the patient's admission to hospital, the existence of a venous access, the presence of a nurse for administration, high cost of parenteral presentations.

Intra muscular: antibiotic use as single daily dose of ceftriaxone, ertapenem and aminoglycosides in the outpatient management of systemic infections.

remains the need for administration and staff of the high costs of parenteral presentation.

Oral: The best route of administration of antimicrobials in the outpatient clinic, certain antibiotics such as quinolones and azithromycin may be administered every 24 hours, and also have a high percentage of bioavailability.

Disadvantages of this type of administration of the gastrointestinal side effects, the number of daily doses and in many antibiotics low percentage of their bioavailability.

Dosage depends on the age and weight of the patient. severity and type of infectious process to treat.

However, even with so many benefits of antibiotic you should concern that use antibiotic with not proper would give antibiotic side effect to your body.
