<blockquote><p>There are many ways in which you can benefit from aromatherapy. One of them that many people don?t realize is that your immune system will get a boost. This can prevent you from feeling run down or even being susceptible to the common cold. When the body is ran down we can be more open to such ailments.</p>
<p>One of the leading ways in which the body gets run down is due to stress. Most of us have much more of it than we even realize. The weight of all we do in a day consumes us. It drains our energy levels, makes it hard to get a good night of rest, and it is hard to concentrate. As a result we become irritable and even make poor choices.</p>
<p>With the use of aromatherapy though a great deal of that stress will be eliminated from your body. You will feel better both physically and mentally. As a result you will be able to rest and wake up full of energy. You will be able to focus on tasks and make decisions that are based on logic instead of just emotions. </p>
<p>Such stress can lead to tension building up in the neck and shoulders. As a result chronic headaches can occur. You may have been doing all you can do get past this tightness and pain. Some people just continue to suffer from it and that isn?t a solution. Why do so when aromatherapy can take it all away from you? </p>
<p>For those who have various types of pain, aromatherapy can offer relief. This is something that they often can?t get even with quality pain killers. They also worry that they will end up addicted to them. They don?t like the cost or the side effects that can occur. Aromatherapy can help you find the balance that allows you to get back to your life. Too many people who are in pain can?t do that.</p>
<p>Many individuals suffer from allergies and asthma so they don?t enjoy life as they should. With the use of various types of aromatherapy though there seems to be less congestion in both the lungs and the sinus cavity. As a result a person can feel relief from such symptoms like they never have before. That means more time to focus on quality things in life instead of pain. </p>
<p>Many women have turned to aromatherapy for their physical changes as well. They may suffer from menstrual cramps each month. That makes it hard to focus on family and work. As a woman gets older and her hormones change it can be difficult as well. Many of them find relief with the use of aromatherapy though.</p>
<p>The specific benefits you will get from aromatherapy will vary. It is important that you pay attention to which types of essential oils are right for a particular ailment. That way you have a better chance of getting the results you are after. There are plenty of resources out there to offer you accurate information on what to use.

<blockquote><p>Organic aromatherapy is now being practiced in more and more areas. If you decide that you want to try a session, than go right ahead and  do it. Organic aromatherapy is completely healthy because it is one hundred percent natural. As a beginner you probably have a lot of questions and you are not sure which way to turn to get the answers you need to get started, following these easier beginner tips and you will be well on your way to a happier, healthier you.</p>
<p>Take the time to do your research, you want to find a facility that is warm and welcoming, somewhere that you will have no problems laying back and letting your stress float away. It is also important to know what you hope to achieve during your session, if you are there to relax then different essential oils are used, than would be if you were there to fight off illness. Remember don&#8217;t be afraid to ask questions about the organic aromatherapy session,  a good facility will encourage questions and not be turned off from them.</p>
<p>If you decide that a facility isn&#8217;t for you, then there are other options that you can explore. Try to take the time and read up on the topic before you take the next step, the best way to experience the true benefits of organic aromatherapy is to be educated on the topic. Remember that when you take the step away from the facility you are now responsible for knowing what oils do what, and what oils are safe.</p>
<p>If you decide you want to experiment at home with essential oils, find a legitimate place to purchase them. Do not buy oils from street fairs, craft shows or any other place that is not a permanent fixture of the area you are in, you more than likely will not be getting organic oils even if they claim that is what they are selling you. Take the time to shop around, if you decide to go with an online company makes sure  they are legit, there are sites on the Internet devoted to debunking false sites, try searching the name of this site that you are on, to see if there has been any negative reports about them.</p>
<p>When you decide that you are going to practice organic aromatherapy therapy it is important that you find a company that doesn&#8217;t just call their product organic, for it to be organic oil it has to have been extracted from plants that have never been introduced to toxic ingredients of any kind. Once you receive your oils it is important that you learn and understand how to take care of them. Keep your oils in dark glass vials, and set them securely in a cool dark space, somewhere will they will not be broken and spilled.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>              &nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>Many people are uncomfortable or experience a minor sense of anxiousness when thrust into a new situation or a group of unfamiliar people.  However, for about ten percent of Americans, anxiety about social situations can become so severe as to be disabling.  Researchers now believe that an even larger group of people may have to deal with more mild forms of social anxieties that can lead to significant problems in daily social interactions.</p>
<p>The term for this type of anxiety is &#34;social phobia&#34;.  It usually takes place when someone experiences fears and worries that usually are due to being in a social event.  Someone with a social phobia might also have trouble with stopping themselves from thinking too much about how others are passing judgment on or evaluating them.</p>
<p>For those who suffer from social phobia, anxious feelings can occur in many types of situations, such as going to the store, attending parties, public speaking, being in front of an audience, or being interviewed.  These kinds of socially related anxieties can also make themselves visible physically; for many people with social anxiety, sweating, flushing, shaking hands, or stomach problems can occur when facing these types of stressful situations.</p>
<p>Leading experts now think that social phobia consists of problems with self-confidence.  Self-confidence is the ability to feel that we are able to make the right decisions, be independent, and take control over our lives.  People who lack self-confidence &#8212; an all-too common issue in today&#8217;s high-stress world &#8212; might worry too much about how they are perceived by others, to the point of not wanting to take part in social events or of beginning to feel a loss of control.</p>
<p>Fortunately, however, there are some basic actions a person who suffer from self-confidence problems can undertake in order to get back this sense of control.  One possible action a person with self-confidence problems can undertake is to use an anxiety and phobia workbook.  You can consider the anxiety and phobia workbook as simply a method to get insight into the problems you are having trouble with by maintaining a record of triggers and mood symptoms; there are also activities to do that will aid you to gain better introspection about your self-confidence problems.</p>
<p>When you have come to the point at which you have started to have insight about your problems with self-confidence, and have made the decision that it is now time to start developing self-confidence, then it makes sense to investigate a type of treatment that has been demonstrated to be immensely successful in social phobia.  As with the anxiety and phobia workbook, this specific kind of therapy is characterized by being centered on assisting you to become pro-active and gain power over your life.  What this means is that you will be curing your own problems.</p>
<p>This form of therapy, called hypnosis, works by taking control of the secret power of your unconscious mind to aid you to become more confident, assured, relaxed, and comfortable with yourself.  You may have a hard time believing that we are all born with these abilities, but due to traumatic life events, learned disempowerment, and troubled social interactions, we often lose sight of our native abilities to seize these powers.  Hypnotherapy has been scientifically demonstrated to work for people with self-confidence and anxiety problems.</p>
<p>Many people who suffer from self-confidence and other anxiety related problems often look for a quick fix solution, such as medicines, natural products, and short-term traditional therapy.  Although these strategies can assist some individuals, they don&#8217;t actually attack the cause of our self-confidence problems &#8211; our unconscious mind.  In order to deal with self-confidence problems, you have to be in charge of your own cure.</p>
<p>If you make the decision to check out hypnosis therapy to aid you to acquire self-confidence, you will receive a course of sessions with a hypnotherapist who will help you to enter a deep state of relaxation.  When you are in this deep state of relaxation, your unconscious mind is open and available to be reached by suggestive techniques.  Your hypnotherapist will then work with you while in this open state to use repeated suggestion to elicit your realization that you are an able, strong, and independent person.  </p>
<p>Some other possibilities for those who struggle with self-confidence are to participate in hypnosis through video or audio recordings, which can be viewed or listened to in the comfortable space of your own house.  Many people also find that learning self hypnosis, a specific relaxation technique in which it is possible for you to open up to your innermost desires and needs, with only minimal guidance, can be very helpful.  Whatever form of hypnotherapy for anxiety you decide upon, you can be certain that you are taking an important step in creating your own treatment and recovery.

Densky, CH has created a multitude of hypnotherapeutic techniques for the treatment of <a href="http://www.neuro-vision.us/Products/AudioConfidenceHypnosisTapes.htm" target="_blank">social phobia</a>.

<blockquote><p>Today&#8217;s world can fill the very busy individual with a lot of stress. Without some way of removing this stress from your system, you&#8217;re placing yourself in danger from a lot of stress-related diseases. You might suffer from insomnia or headaches or very serious heart diseases.</p>
<p>You could take anti-stress pills to help you relax but, like me, you might also be worried about the side effects these pills could have. The good news is that you could try acupuncture at least once to see if it could help you manage the stress. It certainly couldn&#8217;t hurt to try acupuncture if all you&#8217;re after is stress relief.</p>
<p>If you find it doesn&#8217;t work for you, then you can just easily stop taking acupuncture treatments. If it works, though, then you can say you&#8217;ve found a good treatment for stress that doesn&#8217;t rely on those dangerous chemicals and pills.</p>
<p>How does sticking needles into your body help manage the stress?<br />
In traditional Chinese medicine, much of the treatments depend on an understanding of the balance in our bodies and its internal organs. The sicknesses we sometimes develop are seen to be caused by imbalances in our lifestyles and environment. Stress is also affected by this imbalance. That is why when there is something wrong with your body, you&#8217;d typically have less of an ability to deal with stress. You&#8217;d get more irritable and find it really to difficult to relax.</p>
<p>By sticking these very thin needles past the surface of our skin, the acupuncturist stimulates nerves in our body. These nerves send signals to our brain and scientists believe that the brain then releases its natural painkillers into our system. This immediately causes a feeling of relaxation for many people.</p>
<p>The needles could also help your body by stimulating its circulation. With the circulation between the organs of the body improved, a lot of the body&#8217;s wastes could be cleansed properly. Your organs would also receive the full benefit of the oxygen from your lungs making its way into the cells of your body without any blockages. This makes your organs much healthier and leaves you feeling much better in the long term as well.</p>
<p>You can think of a session with the acupuncturist as very much like massage therapy. A good massage would help give you a very relaxing sleep that night and an acupuncturist could help you with your sleep as well. You might immediately start to feel drowsy as soon as the right nerves are stimulated by the acupuncturist&#8217;s needles.</p>
<p>You might be asking yourself how you&#8217;d be able to relax if you&#8217;re suffering from the pain of the needles attached to your body. What you might not realize is that because of the thinness of the needles, you would hardly feel anything. The most that many people claim they feel is a kind of tingling feeling where the needles are. And that is actually a sign that the process is working,</p>
<p>Acupuncture is a practice that helps you use your bodies&#8217; own ability to manage stress properly. This leaves you healthier, and more importantly, prevents any of the serious diseases that could come from unbalanced, stressful lifestyles.</p>
<p>It might not be something to replace regular trips to the doctor but with its many possible benefits, acupuncture might be worth trying out very soon.

<blockquote><p>The colon plays an important part in maintaining a healthy body. In the last decade, public awareness of colon diseases and cancer has led to an improvement in medical diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Dietary research, natural remedies and development of colonic hydrotherapy techniques now mean we have the necessary knowledge and tools at our disposal to look after this very important part of our body.</p>
<p>As the colon is the final part of our digestive system, it carries waste materials that can be toxic. These materials can become trapped or impacted and cause disease within the colon itself, or release toxins back into the blood causing disease elsewhere in the body. The colon provides nutrients and water to other parts of the body so it&#8217;s important for it to function properly and flush out the waste. There are a number of things we can do to aid this vital process.</p>
<p>Diet is one of the easiest things to address and change to have a healthy colon. Try to eat plenty of fruit and fibre. You should aim for around 30g of fibre a day. Wholegrain cereals, pulses, lentils and vegetables can provide the necessary nutrients. Avoid too much wheat, dairy products and caffeine and foods that are high in fat. Diets high in saturated fats have been attributed to cases of colon cancer. It is advisable to maintain a healthy weight too as obesity has been linked with colon disease and cancer.</p>
<p>If you find you suffer with constipation, there are natural laxatives you can try. Linseed tea taken ten minutes before eating has proved to aid digestion and colon function as has Blackstrap molasses taken three times a day. For a healthy gut, Probiotic yoghurts and fermented milk products that contain &#8216;friendly bacteria&#8217; are also recommended and can improve and maintain colon function. </p>
<p>Too much alcohol and smoking have proved a combination that increases the risks of colon disease so quitting the cigarettes and moderating your alcohol intake is advised. Also try to take regular exercise at least three or four times during a week. This could be as simple as a daily walk. For those people over 50, a regular colon screening is recommended and anyone with a family history of colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or other digestive disorders should consult with their GP about colon screening. This can be beneficial even before reaching the age of 50.</p>
<p>One of the most beneficial procedures for your colon is colonic hydrotherapy (sometimes called colonic irrigation). This therapy involves flushing out the colon with specially filtered water. A colonic hydrotherapist will insert a small tube into the rectum and water is then circulated around the colon to flush out any waste materials that have become trapped. As the water passes through, the colon muscles are exercised and the colon itself returns to its proper shape. The procedure is painless and there is no odour or mess and you can be assured that your dignity is maintained at all times.</p>
<p>Colonic hydrotherapy is fast becoming a popular method of maintaining a healthy colon with many people preferring to visit a colonic hydrotherapist rather than taking over-the-counter laxatives or prescription drugs. Its benefits are widely recognised and the results are immediate with people coming away feeling relaxed and lighter than they did before.

<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s important to always consult with your health care provider before determining if a massage will best meet your needs.  Massage is a great way to improve circulation, bring the body into balance, improve the Immune System and help promote health and healing.  Due to these benefits, there are certain conditions that respond better to massage than others.  With the guidance of your physician and under the expertise of a certified and licensed massage therapist, you&#8217;ll find that massage is a wonderful aid used for treating and improving many conditions.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that stress is successfully treated by massage.  There are many different types and branches of massage, yet all of them effectively reduce stress and bring the body into a state of balance, peace, and tranquility.  The importance of treating stress should never be undermined as stress left for a long length of time can have serious consequences to your health and well being.  Massage is one of the best remedies for those who are seeking to reduce stress.</p>
<p>Those who suffer from joint pain, back pain, or Arthritis will find that therapeutic massage is amazingly beneficial.  Again, it is important to discuss your condition with both your health care provider and your massage therapist to make sure that you are using the best treatments for your condition.</p>
<p>Anxiety disorders are also successfully treated with massage therapy.  If you suffer from depression, panic attacks, or other anxiety related conditions, you may want to speak with your health care provider about using Reflexology or Shiatsu in your health care regime.  Additionally, many people have reported finding great success with using Aromatherapy massage in the treatment of anxiety disorders.  It is important to discuss your condition with your massage therapist and determine if he or she has experience treating your specific condition through massage.</p>
<p>Headaches, chronic pain, and insomnia often respond positively to massage therapy.  There are different types of headaches and you should discuss the types of headaches that you suffer from with your massage therapist to ensure that he or she chooses the best type of massage for your situation.  Stress and tension headaches may respond best to Aromatherapy Massage however a headache that is the result of a pinched nerve may be best treated with deep tissue massage.  Your massage therapist is best qualified to determine which type of massage will be of the most benefit so it is important to discuss all of your concerns or questions during your interview.  Like headaches, chronic pain may be the result of a number of different causes.  It is important to determine the cause of your pain so that your therapist can choose the best course of treatment.  </p>
<p>If you are suffering from Insomnia, you may find that massage helps your body to relax so that you are able to sleep again.  Sometimes Insomnia is a direct result from underlying stress.  Using techniques such as Aromatherapy Massage and Reflexology can help treat Insomnia and bring the body&#8217;s cycles back in to balance.</p>
<p>Understanding the nature of your health care concerns is vital to determining when massage will be beneficial.  Your health care provider is an important tool in locating the underlying cause of your pain and must be incorporated in your approach towards massage.  Once your physician or health care provider determines the source of your pain, he or she along with your massage therapist can work in unison to develop the best course of treatment.

<blockquote><p>Detoxification diets are as trendy as many fad diets. For the amount of information available about detoxification diets, there is also a lot of misinformation.   The same initial concerns you would have about any new fad diet, should be addressed when beginning a new detox diet.  For instance, your overall health, body size and age should be evaluated prior to starting any diet. Sadly, many people take on a detoxification diet with the false hope of curing a disease or for rapid weight loss.</p>
<p>Detoxification- it&#8217;s not a miracle cure.</p>
<p>Disease and illnesses are all around us and it seems like they find a new on every week. It is not surprising people are reaching out for miracle cures and quick fixes.  Detoxification helps prevent diseases and illness by reducing or eliminating contact with harsh chemicals and disease causing organisms introduced through our diet.  Promoters of detoxification often make far reaching statements and claims that give people false hope when it comes to curing a disease process.  While detoxing to maintain good health is a valid practice, using detoxification to cure a disease is a claim that is often met with disappointment on the buyer&#8217;s part.</p>
<p>Detoxification for weight loss- Don&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p>There is no quick fix for weight loss- period! Can a detoxification diet be part of a sensible weight loss plan?  Of course they can. Healthful and sensible weight loss constitutes more than a detox diet.  You need to eliminate junk carbohydrates and low quality proteins from your diet.  Reduce or lower you beverages that contain sugar.  Decrease your alcohol consumption as it is full of empty carbohydrates. Eat smaller portions and increase (or start) your daily exercise program.   It is simple process of burning more calories than you are putting in.  Reduce caloric intake and increase activity; this is the foundation of every successful diet plan. </p>
<p>Detox for Health!</p>
<p>If you use a detox diet for the right reasons you can clear your body of unwanted toxins while maintaining a healthful lifestyle.  Would you spend an afternoon cleaning you&#8217;re your car then turn around and shovel dirt into it?  I am sure I can find one person to say yes, but most rational people would not.  If you cleanse your body, then keep the junk out! Adopt the lifestyle change that will be necessary to maintain a healthy you.<br />
Stick to the basics (good dietary control, increased activity level and a relaxed mind) and you will live well.

<blockquote><p>Between the dangers of operating a vehicle or other large equipment without having slept, or else just endangering your health and making your internal organs suffer, it is a fact that your insomnia can in fact kill you.</p>
<p>This is not meant to make you panic, but more to make you take a look at your current sleeping behaviors so that you recognize that changes need to be made.  Depriving your body of a major necessity like a good night of rest can significantly impair your mind and your body, and cause detrimental effects in the long run.</p>
<p>When you get behind the wheel of a car, you have to be alert, and ready to react to any situation that comes your way.  A car is a powerful thing, and when you are operating a vehicle, you have to be in full control of what you are doing.  If someone cuts you off, you have to immediately be ready to swerve or brake to avoid a collision.  A pedestrian can cross in front of your car unexpectedly, and it is up to you to pay attention.</p>
<p>Driving a car takes your full and undivided attention.  If you are ready to go somewhere, you should make sure that you are going to be able to fully commit in order to get to your destination safely.  Driving on little sleep produces the same, if not more severe effects as driving while intoxicated.  Your insomnia prevents your brain from being able to rest itself during the night and turn off to be able to be at peak performance the next day.  When you go without sleep, your body is ready to take a nap during the day, and it could happen that it catches up with you while you are on the road.  Studies have shown that those who are up from seventeen hours straight and beyond have the equivalent mental capacity to someone with a .05 blood alcohol level.</p>
<p>But, in general, it is just a good health practice to get the required amount of sleep.  Doctors insist that part of a healthy lifestyle includes getting seven to nine hours of sleep every night for adults.  This will drastically reduce the signs of aging, not to mention make you feel refreshed and renewed in the morning.  Additionally, getting sleep helps to revitalize your immune system.  If you are trying to stave off an infection or virus, you will be so much more likely to get rid of it sooner if you are getting proper rest.  Insomniacs have a hard time battling diseases because their immunity has weakened.</p>
<p>When your body is at rest, this is the time for it to repair any damages to the organs.  Any interference in this natural cycle from having trouble sleeping can cause major health problems later on, and can certainly lead you toward an early grave.</p>
<p>So, be smart about things, and just do something simple like lying down in your bed every night.  Since it is a matter of life and death, you better get to bed right now!

<blockquote><p>Reiki is a system that was re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian Minister Japan.  One day a student hit him with the question &#34;do you believe in miracles&#34; and he said, &#34;Yes I believe in miracles,&#34; and the student said, &#34;Well show us a miracle.&#34;  This threw his life in a tailspin for awhile and he went out on a quest.  This quest led him to various monasteries and he went to Tibet and Nepal and this is where Reiki started out, in Tibet and Nepal and Burma and what most people don&#8217;t understand is that this a shamanism practice.</p>
<p>It stills has its symbols thanks to Usui. He wound up fasting and not even drinking any water for like 22 days up on a mountain in Japan and on the last day when he was about dead he finally went into a shamanistic ecstasy and these symbols came to him.  He felt he was lifted off the ground and these symbols were burned through his body, and when the whole thing is over he felt like he could take on the world.</p>
<p>When he turned around and started to walk off he kicked a rock and busted up his toe.  It started bleeding profusely and something came to him to take his hands and put them on his feet and the bleeding stopped.  </p>
<p>The pain went away so he walked down the mountain and he got to an inn and decided to get something to eat.  The inn keeper came out to wait on him and he noticed that her face was bandaged up because she had a bad tooth. He ate his meal and to repay the innkeeper he put his hands on her jaw and they got so warm they almost burned her, but when she took off the bandage her jaw was fine.</p>
<p>He went on and that is how Reiki was re-discovered. Now the thing about Reiki they channel energy in a particular pattern because of the symbols to heal someone and restore harmony. Now, Reiki works on restoring harmony to the body.  That is energy that has become imbalanced. It can be used to get rid of energy blocks; it can detoxify your system. It can bring about deep relaxation so a person can sleep. It does this by introducing universal life energy and that meets with the vibrational energy of each person and helps to bring that into balance.</p>
<p>So it falls under the same auspices of any hands on healing modality.  Now I know people aren&#8217;t going to want to hear this but some people will get a Reiki treatment and they walk away feeling worse or feel like they have something attached to them. </p>
<p>Mainly, this is because the person treating you had &#34;stuff&#34; and they weren&#8217;t being a clear and open channel and their &#34;stuff&#34; got on you. Now I say this in all sincerity I pull no punches I&#8217;ve seen the best these things can do and I have seen the worse. Ignorance gets us into trouble and it&#8217;s our ego that keeps us there. If you can&#8217;t get yourself out of the way it is a disservice to anyone that you are working on and I have seen this. You have to get yourself out of the way and truly be that open clear channel for spirit to move through.

<blockquote><p>Much of the focus on stem cell therapies until now has been on neurological and cognitive conditions, as well as conditions that are more widespread, like diabetes and stroke. However, our bodies have particular trouble regenerating bone tissue, so it is surprising that little stem cell research until now has focused on orthopedic applications. We look at the possibilities for future Thailand stem cell therapies for orthopedic patients. </p>
<p>Orthopedic surgeons treat conditions like musculoskeletal trauma, degenerative human diseases like osteoporosis, tumors, and infections in bone tissue, sports injuries and congenital conditions. Procedures such as arthroscopy, knee replacement, fracture repair, tendon repair and hip repair are common for orthopedic surgeons, and most of these could at least be assisted by stem cell transplants. Some conditions are natural initial focuses, however.</p>
<p>While there are many more controversial therapies where embryonic stem cells need to be used, orthopedic applications would generally utilize autologous human adult stem cells. The term &#8216;autologous&#8217; refers to the fact that they are derived from the patient themselves, so there is no risk of tissue rejection. The key difference between these and other stem cell therapies in Thailand is that the source for cells would be bone marrow, rather than stomach fat. </p>
<p>The conditions for which orthopedic surgeons are most interested in stem cell transplants include avascular necrosis and non-healing, non-union fractures. The current approaches to these conditions are often very invasive and physical, including open surgery and the introduction of screws and physical holds. However, the application of adult stem cell cures to these problems is still in the research stages, with a few groups around the world currently conducting animal studies. </p>
<p>The trials that are now being conducted involve creating a cavity in part of the broken or necrotic bone with a cannulated drill. Human adult stem cells are harvested from a patient&#8217;s own bone marrow, by spinning around 120cc of marrow to obtain around 20cc of stem cells. The cells are not multiplied, but simply re-injected. In future Thailand stem cell therapies, the cells should then use the nourishment available from the vasculature and blood supply to grow and differentiate into bone tissue. Necrotic tissue surrounding the stem cell infused tissue would act as a scaffold; there is no need to remove any dead tissue. The ability to leave existing tissue in place makes the procedure even less invasive. </p>
<p>Trials have so far focused on avascular necrosis. However, non-union that are resistant to traditional form of intervention after injury is another major orthopedic area where stem cell transplants show potential. Growth factors are currently used, but there are complications for some patients.  If various studies go well, non-union fractures may be able to be healed with the help of stem cells in around 10 years. Future stem cell benefits according to stem cell therapy providers in Thailand could include the regeneration of cartilage, and even the repair of missing chunks of bone after injury or gunshot wounds.
