    2 Simple Ways To Release Sciatic Nerve Pain At Home Using No Medicine.

     

    For anyone who may not be very aware of what the sciatic nerve is, then we will give you a brief description. This is the one that originates in the lumbar spine, from there it goes towards the glutes and it extends until the feet. When this nerve is affected, it can produce severe pains that can even paralyze you.

    In this post  we want to show you how to unlock and release sciatic nerve pain with two simple exercises that you can do in your own home.

    -Pregnant women and the elderly

    Those who suffer from sciatic nerve pain the most are the elderly and pregnant women. For them, it is especially important to calm this unbearable pain, bearing in mind that, in the case of the pregnant woman, her mood and health condition can affect the baby.

    As the sciatic nerve begins to suffer from wear and tear, the muscles of the hip and legs lose flexibility and elasticity. For this reason the person begins to feel the strong pain, because in trying to move as before, it hurts.

    Often, sciatic pain is usually related to the process of muscle contraction, which occurs after anyone’s 30 and 35 years of age. When visiting your doctor for the pain, it is very likely that they will prescribe some medications that, at times will have no effect. Worse yet, most of these drugs will end up damaging other areas of your body.

    In view of the above, in this article, we will present to you two fantastic exercises that will help you release sciatic nerve pain. We can assure you that, when you do them, you will get amazing effects.

    The purpose of these exercises is to stretch and relax the muscles next to the sciatic nerve. This will unlock the nerve, eliminate the tension and relieve the pain once and for all.

    Release sciatic nerve pain.

    Exercise number one:

    To perform the first exercise, you will need to lie on a completely flat surface. Next, lift your sore leg and slowly fold it upwards as close as you can to your shoulder. When you feel tension, you should hold that same posture for about thirty seconds. To finish, return to the initial position by stretching the leg on the surface. This process should be repeated twice more to achieve the goal.

     

    Second exercise:

    Just like the previous exercise, lie on a flat surface. Bend your knees and hold them with your hands, bringing them to your chest as much as you can. Try to keep the pelvis always on the floor. Now you cross your legs and stretch the one that hurts you the most. Hold that posture for about thirty seconds and resume the starting position. Repeat the exercise two more times.

    Keep in mind that to release sciatic nerve pain, it is very important to mobilize muscles, loosen tensions, relax them, but above all you must continue the exercises mentioned above every day.

    I'm a feminist and I'm against abortion.

     

    Erika Bachiochi was once supporter of abortion rights, but now thinks it's not about equality for women.

    She says women bear disproportionate responsibility for sex and what to do about pregnancy.

    Writer: Women should not be saddled with abortion responsibility. Society must prioritize caregiving.

    Polls taken since the Roe v Wade decision routinely show women in favor of abortion restrictions, and in slightly greater numbers than men. But how can this be? How can any woman want to scale back on the abortion license given them by the U.S. Supreme Court 42 years ago?

    As a one-time abortion rights supporter, I well know the temptation to see the right to abortion as a representation of women's equality. After all, bearing an unexpected child would seem to interrupt a woman's ability to design her own future according to her own goals and ambitions. More poignantly, bearing a child while in poverty or while already overwhelmed by caregiving for other children, or perhaps while experiencing health risks, reeks of an injustice known to women alone.

    Abortion would seem to provide women with a practical response to the disproportionate responsibility sexual intercourse can lay at our feet.

    But abortion, which is often the assumed solution to unexpected pregnancy in our culture, attempts to cure that sexual asymmetry: the biological fact that women get pregnant and men don't. It does this by putting the responsibility to care for — or dispense with — the life of a nascent, developing human being on women alone.

    Abortion expects nothing more of men, nothing more of medicine, and nothing more of society at large. Abortion betrays women by having us believe that we must become like men — that is, not pregnant — to achieve parity with them, professionally, socially, educationally. And if we are poor, overwhelmed or abandoned by the child's father, or if medical expenses would be too great for us or for our child, social "responsibility" requires us to rid ourselves of our own offspring.

    Today's feminists cheer us on. Is this really the equality we were looking for 42 years ago?

    I think most women want to see a culture that respects and honors women not only for the myriad talents we bring as individuals to our professions, our communities and our country. Women also want to live in a society that, at the very same time, cherishes our shared, and indeed, wondrous capacity to bear new human life. We want to be respected for the work we do as mothers.

    What about a culture where women's childbearing capacity is recognized not as an impediment to our social status and certainly not as the be-all and end-all of women's capacities as it once was, but as that which calls upon all persons in society to show a bit of gratitude? Rather than structure society around the wombless, unencumbered male, ought not society be structured around those who, in addition to being able to do all that men can do, can also bear new human life?

    Such a cultural restructuring in support of caregiving — one that pro-life feminists seek — would benefit this generation's fathers as well. Many men today would prefer to dedicate far more time and attention to their children than fathers of prior generations did, or could. Pro-woman, pro-child, pro-family policies would enable just that.

    Not all women become mothers, but those who do so depend upon a cultural esteeming of both pregnancy and motherhood for their social and professional support. When we belittle the developing child in the womb, a scientific reality that most pro-choice advocates have come to admit, we belittle and distort that child's mother. We make her out to be one with property rights over her developing unborn child (much as husbands once had property rights over their wives).

    We give her the inhumane (but for 42 years, constitutionally protected) right to decide the fate of another human being, of a vulnerable child — her child — to whom she properly owes an affirmative duty of care. We do all this rather than offering her the myriad familial and social supports she needs, whatever her situation, and cherishing her role in the miracle of human life.

    But we live in a time when to speak of that miracle or of the biological differences between the sexes seems quaint, as though we have now gotten beyond sex in the brave new world of "gender fluidity." It seems an effort to erase the notion of moms and dads --as though to do so would be a boon to progress, as though society would finally be free of those old, deterministic categories of male and female.

    But here's the rub: We can pretend sex differences do not exist, but it is women who bear the burden when we do so. Both men and women have sex but it is the woman who becomes pregnant, the woman who must either find ways to courageously and sacrificially care and nurture the developing child in her womb, or who must do the unthinkable and end her own child's life. Men can have sex and walk away, and with the right Roe gave them, they increasingly do.

    It is time to admit the truth about sexual difference — this beautiful, wondrous truth — and shape society to prioritize care for those who care for the most vulnerable. And it is time to demand more, far more, of men. (By Erika Bachiochi).

    Florida facing its 'most catastrophic' storm ever, as Irma arrives

     

    ‘Leave now,’ governor warns, with hurricane bearing down on Keys after killing 25 in wave of Caribbean devastation

     Florida faces the “most catastrophic” storm in its history as Hurricane Irma prepares to unleash devastating force on the state, including 120mph winds, life-threatening sea surges that could submerge buildings and an advance battery of tornadoes.

     

    Live Hurricane Irma: superstorm races towards Florida Keys as residents told to 'hunker down'– live.

     ‘Life-threatening’ storm surge expected in Florida Keys, 200kmh winds in Cuba and sheriff asks people not to shoot at Irma

     

    “You need to leave – not tonight, not in an hour, right now,” Governor Rick Scott commanded in a press conference, 12 hours before the cyclone was expected to make landfall on Sunday morning. “This is the most catastrophic storm the state has ever seen.”

     The US national hurricane centre said in its 8pm Saturday update on Irma that “heavy squalls with embedded tornadoes” were already sweeping across south Florida. The US National Weather Service later said the first hurricane-force wind gust had been recorded in the Florida Keys, a low-lying island chain off the state’s southern coast.

     

    Irma's destruction: island by island.

     The category five hurricane has ripped through the Caribbean, leaving flattened landscapes, flash floods and loss of life

     Irma dropped to a category three hurricane but could regain its category four intensity as the bathtub-warm seawater of nearly 32C (90F) will enable the storm to build strength.

     It was forecast to hit the Keys first, then again near Cape Coral or Fort Myers, and then a third time near Tampa Bay on its path up Florida’s west coast. Weather stations in Marathon, a city in the Keys, reported sustained winds of 51mph (81kmh) with a gust to 71mph (115kmh) on Saturday night.

     

    In Florida’s south-west, officials expected sea surges as high as 15ft (4.5 metres), which can rapidly rise and fall.

     “Fifteen feet is devastating and will cover your house,” Scott said. “Do not think the storm is over when the wind slows down. The storm surge will rush in and it could kill you.”

     He said at least 76,000 people were without power as the 350 miles (560km) wide storm unleashes winds and rain on the state. Officials said the window for people in evacuation zones was shutting, with gas stations closing and bridges blocked off.

     More than seven million people were ordered to flee their homes in several states, including nearly a third of Florida’s population. Around 50,000 people were in 300 shelters around the state, counties enacted curfews and power providers have already begun to struggle with demand.

     In Miami, Guardian reporter Richard Luscombe was sheltering with his family in a 5ft x 5ft interior closet with no windows, away from exterior walls and doors.

     “My mobile phone has been screaming its high-pitched alarm every 10 minutes over the last hour or so with dire warnings from the National Weather Service to take cover NOW because of tornadic thunderstorms in the area,” he said.

     “The threat of tornados comes from thunderstorms in Hurricane Irma’s violent outer bands, which have been circling over Miami-Dade and Broward counties for most of the day as the storm moves ever closer.

     

    Survivors of Irma beg for aid and face armed looters as they brace for Jose.

     Panic grows in Florida as extent of devastation across Caribbean emerges, with buildings flattened and 20 dead

     Donald Trump was monitoring the progress of the storm from the presidential retreat in Camp David, Maryland where he held a cabinet meeting.

     In Palm Beach, Trump’s waterfront Mar-a-Lago estate was under evacuation order.
    “This is a storm of enormous destructive power, and I ask everyone in the storm*s path to heed ALL instructions from government officials,” Trump said on Twitter.

     Forecasters said the tropical cyclone would maintain hurricane strength well into Georgia on Monday.

     It leaves behind a trail of devastation in the Caribbean, with 25 confirmed killed, including 11 people on French St Martin and St Barts, four in the US Virgin Islands, three on Puerto Rico, two on Dutch St Maarten, one person in Anguilla and a two-year-old in Barbuda.

     Its most recent victim, Cuba, experienced 125mph (200kmh) winds on Saturday that damaged hotels in the island’s best-known beach resorts and forced evacuations as far along the coast as low-lying areas of the capital Havana.

     Power was out and mobile phone service was spotty in many regions as Irma, the first category five storm to make landfall on the island since 1932, passed over. The island’s communist government ordered the evacuation of more than a million people from its path.

     In the fishing town of Cariberian, streets were carpeted with fresh green seaweed as the water receded, people said it was the strongest cyclone ever to hit the town.

     Irma’s turn northward was expected to occur around 150 miles (240km) east of the capital. Nevertheless, authorities shut off power in large parts of the city and evacuated around 10,000 people from central Havana near the Malecon seawall because of fears of flooding from the storm surge.

     By Saturday evening, the sea had penetrated two blocks over parts of the city’s historic seafront boulevard, and the waters were expected to advance further as the surge grew. Restaurants on the seaside drive pulled down their shutters and stacked sandbags.

     The Caribbean islands will barely have time to take stock before category four Hurricane Jose threatens landfall, complicating relief efforts for islands that have only just emerged from Irma’s winds.

     Jose spared Barbuda, where the prime minister estimated 90% of buildings were destroyed by Irma a few days earlier.

     Although Jose is weaker and moving away from the Islands, high winds are likely to hit Puerto Rico and possibly Dominican Republic as soon as Sunday morning local time.

     However, residents in the British Virgin Islands described a scene of “utter devastation” in the wake of Irma and pleaded for the UK government to send more food, water and shelter.

     Natalie Drury, who lives with her husband in Tortola, said she was in a “state of disbelief” about the destruction left by the storm. Homes and businesses had been destroyed, she said, the streets were strewn with sewage and looters had emptied shops.

     “We desperately need help as soon as possible. Food, water, shelter. I’m extremely concerned about health and safety – there is sewage absolutely everywhere.

     “It’s worse than anyone could have imagined. The country is going to need some serious help. I have no idea how many people have died. We were told yesterday it’s gone up to 10, but obviously that’s all rumours. Nobody knows yet.”
