Science Explains What Happens to A Woman’s Body from A Copper IUD

June 24, 2018 by Power of Positivity

What is a copper IUD and can it be dangerous to a woman?

IUDs: The Basics

First, let’s discuss the basics of intrauterine devices, or IUDs. Structurally, an IUD is a contraceptive device. It is made up of flexible plastic, which may or may not be wrapped in copper. This depends on the manufacturer. Functionally, most IUDs prevent pregnancy by releasing the pregnancy preventing hormone levonorgestrel. One IUD product, ParaGard, is free of hormones.

As of this writing, five main companies produce IUDs: Kyleena, Mirena, Skyla, Lileeta, and ParaGard.

Scour the web and you will find countless advocates of IUDs. From Planned Parenthood, to WebMD, to professors and clinicians at prestigious medical schools, IUDs are marketed as an extremely safe. People will laud them as an effective form of contraception, which can be reversed. These claims are not all false. IUDs are relatively safe. Relatively being the key word.

Many of even the harshest critics of the contraceptive device admit that the devices are “a very safe and supremely effective contraceptive method.”

Also, IUD-related appointments have seen as much as a 900 percent increase since January of 2017. We can reasonably assume, then, that complications from such a device will arise.

The Copper IUD: Newer Isn’t Always Better

Something to mention about IUDs: they’ve been around since the 1970s. As with pretty much every medical device or procedure, IUDs have gotten safer and more reliable. However, newer copper IUDs seem to buck the near-universal “newer is better” medical axiom.

Patients have reported extreme side effects. These include heavier and more frequent menstrual periods, painful abdominal cramping, pelvic inflammatory disease, complications from intercourse, and more. Compared with past case studies, more women with copper IUDs are undergoing emergency (potentially life-threatening) surgery to extract the device.

Class action lawsuits against the manufacturers of copper IUD devices has risen significantly. The law firm representing victims in the Copper & Mirena IUD Class Action Lawsuit cites the following symptoms as reported by their clients:

Allergies and food intolerance
Bleeding gums
Cognitive difficulties (“brain fog”)
Dizziness and disorientation
Extreme fatigue and exhaustion
Severe depression
Severe PMS symptoms (e.g., increased aching, bloating, irritability)
Heart palpitations
Menstrual clotting and bleeding irregularities
Tremors and getting “the shakes”
Hot flashes
Sudden and unexplainable weight gain
Premature menopause
Puncturing of the uterine wall (perforation)

Under-reporting of Complications from Copper IUD

“We collected a case series of broken IUDs … for the purpose of creating awareness and to illustrate our management of this not entirely rare clinical scenario …” – Levine, E.M., et al., “The ‘Broken’ IUD: Its Detection and Clinical Management”

In a disturbing article published in the Open Journal of Clinical & Medical Case Reports, five OB-GYNs report what they’ve seen in the their own practice. These doctors of gynecology have noted such observations as:

Fractured pieces of copper within the uterine wall
Puncturing of the uterine wall
Uterine infection
Transferal of broken copper into other organs
Bleeding, cramping, and abdominal pain

One health institution reported having received three IUD cases over just a nine-month period – a rate far higher than normal. Perhaps most troubling is the conclusion that health emergencies from “Broken IUDs” is likely to be significantly under-reported. In other words, far more women are like experiencing severe complications from IUDs, yet opting against medical intervention.

The Need for Awareness

Most medical researchers and practitioners who advocate for copper IUDs are not trying to deceive. Research data from nearly every study attests to these very claims. But the severe complications surfacing from an evolving technology causes legitimate cause. Until recently, this technology has proved safe and worthwhile.

Closing Thoughts

Women, your reproductive health is a sacred and sensitive health topic. You need to and ought to be informed about your own body. If you (or a woman you know) is considering using a copper IUD, do your research. Inform yourself before making any decisions.

7 Phrases People Say That Makes Them Think They’re Not Good Enough (Without Even Realizing It)

June 24, 2018 by Power of Positivity

You may be creating self doubt without knowing it. By repeating phrases you may have heard as a child, you can be reinforcing doubt in your mind. With the idea to overcome doubt, by realizing what these negative phrases consist of, you can go on to a more positive view. As Honore de Balzac wrote, “When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.”

Especially in creativity, one will have periods when nothing is happening, and at these times, doubt can enter in. The truth is that we need these periods of rest to move on to new creative ideas. The gremlin of “I’m not good enough” has an insidious way of creeping in without your knowing it. Self doubt can take over the microphone without your realizing that you’ve given it permission to run the show. Here are seven examples of how one can derail their creativity as well as their power through the doubt demon:

1. “It’s just lucky.”

When someone praises you for success, you respond to yourself with something like, “I was just lucky.” Instead, say “Thank you” and admit that you are great! Because your talents and abilities as well as hard work probably contributed to your success.

2. “I wonder what they’re thinking about me.”

People with low self esteem cannot stand conflict and are most concerned about the opinion of others. Rather than clearing arguments through communication, they associate with negative people. Realize that everyone cares about themselves and throw the people that cause conflict out the door; get on with your life.

3. You say bad words about yourself or make fun of yourself.

Talking about yourself, you may use derogatory words to express your shortcomings. Instead, know that if you don’t attract attention to your shortcomings, they will most likely not be noticed.

4. You say, “I’m sorry” all the time.

Typically, when someone bumps into you, you say, “I’m sorry.” Someone with low self-esteem thinks everything is their fault. Instead, the next time you think you need to apologize, analyze if it was really your fault before you make that apology.

5. “I don’t really think that, but I will agree.”

Trying to please others can be a fear of failure and a problem that stems from childhood. Instead, realize that strangers may not know what is best for you; only you can know that.

6. “I’m going to take a nap.”

Low self esteem leads to physical symptons, such as fatigue and unexplained drowsiness. By taking a nap, a person avoids dealing with problems and concerns. Instead, you might consult a therapist to devise strategies to address problems.

7. “What should I choose?”

If constant indecision is a problem, such as in restaurants or stores, it might be low self esteem; people with this problem cannot make the simplest of decisions. If you’re among the indecisive at a restaurant for dinner, according to the Bright Side, always choose the Ceasar Salad!

How to Overcome Doubt

“Our doubts are traitors,
and make us lose the good we oft might win,
by fearing to attempt.”
? William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure

Staying centered in the present is one way of overcoming doubt. By being present, you can ignore past experience and focus on the positive. Meditating is one means of focusing on the present. Another way to break free of negative reflection is to nurture yourself; make sure you have time for play. Keep a gratitude journal and write down at least three things that you are thankful for each day. Connecting with others may also help improve your self-love. Gain assurance from friends or family and leave behind the “why me?” attitude.

As Louise Hay would say, “Be kind to yourself. Begin to love and approve of yourself.”
Because we have the opportunity to choose between love or fear, by choosing to see fear as passing clouds, your can move on to action and overcome doubt, despite the fear. One of Hay’s affirmations include the words, “I rise above thoughts that attempt to make me angry or afraid.”

8 Ways to Get Past A Difficult Breakup

June 23, 2018 by Power of Positivity

Going through a difficult breakup is one of the most unpleasant experiences in anyone’s life. It’s a big change to try and train yourself out of loving the person you’ve been so close to. That’s why it’s important to take all the right steps to make sure you don’t wallow in sorrow and self-pity forever. You can (and probably should) push yourself toward recovery as soon as possible.

Whether or not you instigated the breakup doesn’t really matter. Pain and regret will always find their way into your heart after a difficult breakup and sometimes just reminding yourself to think positively doesn’t quite cut it. Even though at the moment it feels like the pain will never go away, it’s up to you to put your brain in recovery mode and convince yourself that this, too, shall pass. Here are some helpful tips on habits you can teach yourself to help you get over that difficult breakup.

Here Are 8 Positive Tips to Help You Get Past A Difficult Breakup

“After a breakup, it takes a couple weeks for the fog to settle, but it’s always a period of self-priority and growth. Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they’re right in front of your face and they’re really difficult, but we must make them.” – Brittany Murphy

1. Unfollow them on social media.

The more contact you have with your ex, the more difficult it will be for you to let them go. When you follow their life, it fills you with a feeling of regret that you’re not part of it anymore – and it makes you susceptible to false hopes and dreams of getting back together. Cutting off is hard, but once you do it, you’ll feel so much better. It’ll give you the time and space you need to focus on yourself and heal rather than dwelling in the past and getting lost in ideas of what could have been.

2. Remind yourself why the breakup happened.

The most important mindset to put yourself into after a difficult breakup is that you’re better off this way. Remind yourself what was it that caused the breakdown of your relationship. Take a moment to think about how unhappy you would have been if things had kept going the way they did. Let yourself enjoy things you couldn’t enjoy before. Allow yourself to be happy with you because of you – not because of somebody else’s validation, or lack thereof.

3. Talk to your friends and family.

One of the most common feelings after a difficult breakup is second-guessing – wondering whether you took a bad step and whether there’s anything you can do to fix whatever broke in your relationship. The best remedy for that is to talk about your feelings to trusted friends or family members. Explain to them, in detail, why your relationship no longer works, and the set of circumstances that led you to where you are. Even if your friends have no advice to offer, it will help you to voice all your feelings and remind you that what you did was right.

4. Allow yourself to cry.

Another problem that people often have after a difficult breakup is that they try to internalize their emotions. Unfortunately, sometimes those bottled emotions they come out in public, or in places where they can’t be controlled. If you need to cry and wallow in misery for a few days, let yourself do it. It’s better to let it all out now than bottle it up and wait for the pressure to blow the cap off. Being in touch with your emotions will help you channel all your pain and grief in one place so that it doesn’t affect the other areas of your life.

5. Write it down.

Journaling can be a surprisingly helpful method of therapy. Whether you want to write it in a blog or an actual physical journal, reflection is a very helpful tool. It’ll allow you to go back and read what you wrote the day before, and the day before that. You will see how your emotions evolve and come to realize that healing is slowly happening. If nothing else, it’ll give you hope that things will keep getting better – and provide you with tangible proof of this in the form of your own written words.

6. Tell yourself that you want to be happy.

Even if you don’t feel like you can ever be happy again, remind yourself that happiness is your long-term goal. Smile, even when you don’t feel like it. Pretend to be happy until one day you won’t have to pretend anymore. It doesn’t matter whether you feel miserable. Convince your mind to do some positive thinking by incorporating happiness into your physical reactions and, sooner or later, your brain will follow suit. It’s all about convincing yourself that happiness is what you want and what you believe you will get.

7. Adopt healthy habits.

When depression after a difficult breakup hits you, it’s easy to eat unhealthy food or spend whole nights not sleeping a wink. As tempting as it is to fall into those bad habits, try to establish a routine in your everyday life that’ll bring back the structure and support you’re craving. A great start is to go to bed at a reasonable time every night. It creates the impression that you have your life together and also helps you feel well-rested and ready for the next day.

8. Tell yourself you deserve better.

It’s difficult, especially if you were convinced that your ex was your soul mate. However, always remind yourself that life goes on and that you’ll meet someone better – even if it feels impossible now. You’ll find someone who’ll cherish and love you the way you deserve to be loved. Once you get into that positive mindset, you’ll more easily find the strength and courage to pick yourself up off the ground and keep moving.

Final thoughts

When a long relationship suddenly end, you might feel like the solid ground beneath your feet has been taken away. Don’t allow yourself to spend too long in self-deprecating thoughts. Instead, look towards the future and everything that awaits you. Understand that there’s life outside your previous relationship. And the more effort you make to discover and embrace that life, the easier you’ll find it to get over your breakup.

8 Signs You Are Stressed Out (And How To Relax)

June 23, 2018 by Power of Positivity

The fact that we have an organization called The American Institute of Stress just to help us understand and cope should be a dead giveaway to how stressed out most of us are. Definitions of stress vary, and so do the different kinds of stress. Some kinds, such as making positive changes in our lives or learning new skills, can be good for us. Others, like worrying over a job or about an illness, can be debilitating.

We live in stressful times, and we have little control over many situations. How can we put our stress into perspective and find stress relief techniques? Around 2,000 years ago, the Greek philosopher Epictetus summed it up this way: “It’s not what happens to you but how you react to it that matters.” One of the best ways to deal with stress is to change the way we look at things. Another is to recognize its signs and nip it in the bud before it takes over our lives.

Eight Signs That You Are Stressed Out

1. You get sick a lot, and the illnesses stick around.

The American Psychological Association says that three out of four people experience physical problems caused by stress. When we are stressed out our bodies work overtime to release cortisol, a hormone that is helpful when we’re being chased by a tiger but harmful when we stay in a constant state of “fight or flight.” Too much cortisol weakens our immune systems and makes us more likely to get sick. A change in the way you view stress, along with habits like meditation and exercise, usually helps.

2. You have trouble sleeping at night.

When we’re stressed out during the day, we get into a state of arousal that makes it hard to fall asleep at night. When we can’t sleep at night, we get even more worked up. Of course, that leads to more stress the next day, and the cycle continues. It helps to develop a relaxing bedtime ritual and avoid caffeine or other substances that could keep you awake.

3. You have a headache almost every day.

If you’re having pressure or pulsing pain around your temples or scalp, you might be having tension headaches. Although they are uncomfortable, they are usually different from the severe symptoms caused by migraines. Try to find ways to relax your neck and scalp muscles to relieve the pain.

4. You can’t think clearly.

If you aren’t sleeping well, there is a good reason you can’t concentrate, but there may also another cause. Research shows that the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, shrinks when it is overwhelmed by cortisol, and this may even be related to dementia later in life. Mindfulness and deep breathing exercises are good stress relief techniques.

5. Your mood changes, and it affects your personality and libido.

Anxiety might make you feel overwhelmed, moody, or depressed. If you find yourself doubting your abilities or avoiding other people, stress is probably interfering with your emotional health. Your libido might also suffer. Try to identify and eliminate as much stress as possible and see a doctor to rule out physical problems. Communicate with your partner and stay in touch with friends.

6. Your behavior changes.

Anxiety can make it hard to get things done. You may procrastinate or feel overwhelmed by responsibilities, or you may bite your nails, have trouble being still, or move from one activity to another without finishing anything. When you relax, your nervous behaviors should return to normal.

7. You drink too much or abuse other substances.

Taking a drink of alcohol can be a relaxing way to spend time with friends, but it just makes stress worse when it gets out of hand. Instead of turning to alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes, call a friend, go to a movie, or take a walk. Nature can be healing.

8. Your neck is killing you.

The old expression about a “pain in the neck” explains a lot. We all tend to tense our shoulder and back muscles when we get stressed out or tired. This alone can lead to painful muscle spasms, but it gets worse when inactivity or poor posture complicates the stress reaction.

Final Thoughts

Stress has many causes, and it takes work to create a healthier lifestyle. We can start by eating a good diet, exercising regularly, and engaging in stress relief techniques like yoga, meditation, or listening to uplifting music. Studies have shown that taking the time to write about our feelings, even if we throw what we write away, can make us happier and more relaxed. It is also important to get enough sleep, avoid stimulants, and avoid taking on more responsibilities than we can handle. Remember that the way we see things determines how stressed out we are.

June 23, 2018 by Power of Positivity

Weight loss isn’t as hard as people may first think. In order for a person to lose weight, they don’t need to buy expensive diet plans. They don’t need to pay for expensive surgeries. They most certainly don’t have to pay for expensive medications. Simply changing your grocery list and adding exercise into your daily repertoire is all that is necessary to lose weight.

Taste doesn’t have to be sacrificed for weight lost. Focusing on vegan recipes, below is a list of 10 delicious meals that will lead to weight loss without breaking your bank.

10 Delicious Vegan Recipes

1) Guacamole Dip & Veggie Snacks

We’ll begin with a snack because snacking is one of the hardest things to curb for people trying to lose weight. With a fresh, homemade bowl of guacamole and some vegetables, like carrots, celery, bell pepper, or cucumbers, you an curb your appetite while enjoying a healthy, low fat snack.

The main ingredient in guacamole is avocados, and there is a variety of secondary ingredients that can be used. Cilantro, lemon juice, tomato, and onions are just a few of the things that can be added to guacamole.

2) Avocado Hummus

If giving up delicious things like fries is daunting to you, but you still want to lose weight parsnip fries are a great substitute.

Normal fries are typically deep fried in fatty oils, often containing unhealthy additives as well.

In order to make parsnip fries, simply slice your parsnips, add a little bit of grapeseed oil and oregano, sprinkle it with paprika and bake it in the oven. Onion powder, pepper, and salt can also be added accordingly to an individual’s tastes.

4) Roasted Broccoli

Broccoli is great with almost every meal, but it is also great by itself. Specifically, it is great roasted with lemon juice and garlic.

The is just one of the delicious vegan recipes for weight loss that is easy and cheap to make.

5) Berry Almond Smoothie Bowl

Utilizing vegan recipes for weight loss doesn’t mean you have to give up sweat things. It just means you have to seek your sugar from natural sources. Several vegan breakfast recipes can supply you with the sugar you desire.

The berry almond smoothie bowl can be made to accommodate an individual’s specific tastes by altering the types of fruit and berries in the dish. A great way to prepare this dish is by using raspberries, cardamom, blueberries, and coconut flakes. Almonds, of course, are also used in the dish.

Vegan recipes are typically seen as boring to a person who has just began the diet, but with this dish, a person can have a delightful meal for breakfast.

6) Quinoa & Chia Oatmeal Mix

Here is another one of the most delicious vegan breakfast recipes. This is a more orthodox breakfast than the previously mentioned almond/berry mix, but it doesn’t lack in taste.

7) Peanut Butter & Fig Crispbread

Transitioning to a vegan diet can be a tricky process. You are switching to a healthier diet in order to lose weight, but it is still important to consume protein and necessary fats. Studies have shown the importance of having protein in your diet, and it can be tricky to consume enough of this vital substance on a vegan diet. This is where the peanut butter & fig crispbread comes in. It is also rich in fiber.

This is one of the easiest vegan recipes to make. Simply take 2 rye crispbreads, some peanut butter, figs, and whatever else you might like to add in. Mix the ingredients together and spread it onto the bread to complete the meal.

8) Sauteed Carrots

10) Moroccan Chickpea-Stuffed Acorn Squash

Here is something for the entire family. This dish is a complete meal on its own, containing nearly every necessary food type in existence.

Acorn squash, chopped onion, winter squash, and chickpeas are just a few of the possible ingredients to this dish. This meal provides opportunity for customization. Experiment with your ingredients until you find the perfect combination for your taste buds.

10 Signs You Are Not Shy, You Are Actually An Introvert

June 23, 2018 by Power of Positivity

People who are described as an introvert often get a bad rap in a world where extroversion is highly prized. After further study, though, you will find it easy to understand the considerable value an introvert brings to the table. Living life focused inward, the typical introvert knows what they want. As such, they do not need much from the outside world to be happy.

Introverted people aren’t necessarily shy. Being shy and being introverted belong in two different categories in many cases. Thse folks don’t avoid people due to fear or anxiety. They simply feel more comfortable relating to others one-on-one or in a small group.

Below are 10 signs that you are an introvert.

Do these characteristics describe you?

1. Being in a large group of people drains your energy.

An introvert needs time alone to recharge. While introverts are capable of spending time at parties (and may even seem like the life of the party on occasion), they can’t keep it up for long. They need to retreat to a quiet place or they may start to zone out. Large groups of people overwhelm introverts, causing them to become agitated or tired. They can also be bothered by too much noise and light, which saps their energy. An introvert often feels all alone even in a large crowd. Additionally, they may find networking activities stressful.

2. People tell you that you’re “too intense.”

If this is your personality type, small talk is off the table. You enjoy philosophical conversations and thought-provoking subjects. You will jump right into serious debates without thinking twice about it. An introvert appreciates lively and deep reflection about books and movies. These cerebral behaviors indicate you are an introvert. What some may call intensity is more likely wisdom. If you have been called an “old soul,” you are most likely an introvert.

3. You dislike small talk.

If you are aggravated by small talk, you are merely manifesting a classic sign of introvert nature. You probably avoid chit-chat whenever possible. Not only does it makes you anxious, but it also seems phony and insincere.

4. You easily get distracted.

Noisy environments with too much stimulation will distract introverts. They often seek out quiet spots to refuel after time in a crowd or chaotic environment. Contrary to extroverts (who are easily bored), the ongoing, inner monologue keeps the mind active. While they may appear quiet on the outside, they are actively thinking at all times. If you are an introvert, you may find this active inner life exhausting and distracting at times.

5. An introvert seeks peaceful and beautiful environments.

Since these folks are negatively impacted by noise, light, and crowds, they seek out places that are peaceful. Places they can relax and think. If you are an introvert, you choose your environment based on its ability to calm you. Stimulating, loud, and chaotic places make any introvert anxious and uncomfortable.

6. You are prudent and thoughtful before making decisions.

Introverted people want all the facts before they make a decision. Instead of acting with impulsiveness, they like to mull things over before making up their mind about important matters. If you are an introvert, you avoid risks. You proceed with caution. First, you evaluate the information at hand. As a result, you never rush decisions. In addition, you think before you speak, and carefully choose your words in a deliberate manner. Your friends probably think of you as cautious.

7. An introvert likes to watch others to learn new tasks.

While extroverts often jump right in (with both feet) to learn something, figuring things out through trial and error, their introverted counterparts prefer to watch others and learn. Additionally, they would rather practice on their own to perfect their skills before trying them out.

8. As an introvert, you live in your head.

You have a non-stop inner monologue that is lively and interesting to you. That is part of the reason you find it so easy to be alone. As a person with a full inner life, you don’t really need a lot of outside stimulation to be happy. You think everything over and tend to be very analytical. You feel the most alive when focusing intently on subject matter that deeply interests you.

Final Thoughts

People often view the terms “introvert” and “shy” as complementary terms. Contrary to what people think, they can be mutually exclusive. People might think it is easy to recognize these characteristics. (The shy one in the corner, right? Wrong.) In fact, they often appear to be outgoing to others.

An introvert may seem hard to get to know since they won’t always make an effort to reach out to new people voluntarily. While their inherent nature may seem a bit standoffish, they make loyal and good friends. Most have a few close friends. They rarely seek out and maintain a lot of friendships.
