Types of Adult Incontinence

Filed under: General Health Issues — admin @ 3:14 am

A common and often very distressing problem amongst adults, adult incontinence is the loss of control in the bladder area. This would mean that a person suffering from this problem have difficulty in controlling the flow and amount of his urine. Leaking a small amount of urine when a person coughs or laughs too much is quite common to people of different ages. For a person with serious urinary problems, however, the urge is not only uncontrollable, the frequency of occurrence and the amount of urine leakage is too much and would actually require a person to wear adult diapers everyday.

Millions of people all throughout the world suffer from this problem. This is a common occurrence in people over fifty years of age, and happens more on women than men. This may also happen to young women who have just given birth. Embarrassing as it is, this condition can be treated.

The following are types of adult incontinence:

•    Stress Incontinence - this is also commonly known as effort incontinence. This results from weakened pelvic floor muscles. A person with this type of urinary problem loses small amounts of urine doing common movements that increases abdominal pressure such as laughing too much, sneezing and even exercising. If the support of the fascia in the pelvic floor is not strong enough, increased abdominal pressure will cause the urethra to move downward, which would allow urine to pass.
•    Urge Incontinence – this type of problem causes urine leakage for no apparent reason and increases the person’s urge to urinate. Medical professionals describe the bladder or the person suffering from it as spastic, unstable and even overactive. This usually happens during sleep, after a person drinks a small amount of water, and some, by just hearing the sound of the water running.
•    Functional Incontinence – this happens when a person feels the need to urinate but, due to limited mobility, cannot physically make it to the bathroom. People suffering from this type may have problems thinking, communicating or even moving that might prevent them from actually reaching the toilet. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, poor dexterity and even old people in a wheel chair are the ones often experience this type of urinary problem.
•    Overflow Incontinence – people with this type of incontinence have bladders that continue to dribble or flow, even after passing urine, hence the name. This occurs when a person’s bladder is always full; weak bladder muscles results to incomplete emptying of urine and blocked urethra.
•    Structural Incontinence – this type usually happens during childhood but rarely causes incontinence during a person’s adult stage. This results from ectopic urether which is treatable and does not pose any serious problems afterwards.
•    Bedwetting – although considered as a type of incontinence, bedwetting is a common occurrence in childhood and do not result in any serious urinary problem in the future.
Make sure to talk consult with a medical professional if you have problems concerning the bladder. Hiding it because of fear of embarrassment might result in more serious medical conditions such as rashes, skin infections, sores and even urinary tract infection. Keep in mind that this condition is not only treatable but also common in millions of people all throughout.

What is the Swine Flu (Mexican Flu)?

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:34 am

The swine flu is a new mutated version of a type of influenza that is common among pigs. This flu has recently been affecting many people in Mexico, the United States, and many other countries. The reason that it is called the swine flu virus is because it first originated in pigs. As said before, it has been a common illness up hogs but cases among humans were very rare until recently.

In most cases only a small percentage of people that worked directly with pigs got the swine flu but some how it has mutated to where it can be passed from human to human. Nobody is really sure how this happened or how contagious it is but it has clearly been spreading quickly among human.

Luckily for us doctors have found a couple drugs that seem to work well in fighting the swine flu. These two drugs are relenza and tamiflu, two common anti-viral drugs that are used against the regular human flu.

As of today thousands of people have been infected with the swine flu but there have been almost no deaths outside of Mexico. Also, of the people infected nearly all of them had recently visited Mexico.

If you feel that you might have the swine flu the CDC recommends that you visit a doctor ASAP and get tested to be sure that you are not infected.

Homay Water Ionizer

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 4:57 am


Most Bottled water on the market is acidic. If you don’t believe me, look below. We tested several brands of bottled water using a pH test kit included with each Homay Water Ionizer.

Acidic water, simply put, is extremely bad for you. Bacteria, Virus, Worms and Parasites, Cancer, Fungus and a host of other invaders thrive in an acidic environment. Why help them by drinking acidic water? The average American diet consists of more than 80% acid forming foods like greasy junk food, snacks with sugar and soft drinks. If you want to change your health for the better, drink ionized, high pH, purified Water.

The Homay Water Ionizer is fully automatic, computer controlled, self cleaning and has a replaceable .01micron multistage filtration canister which contains silver impregnated carbon to kill virus and bacteria. It will stop more contaminates than any leading water purifier on the market. Don’t think reverse osmosis purified water is good for you, it’s not. It is stripped of all minerals which your body needs like Calcium and Magnesium and it is usually Acidic, just look here for the Test Results.


What does it do? The Homay Water Ionizer is a digital water ionizer with preset functions you select with the push of a button. You can choose a range of pH from acidic to alkaline water (low pH to high pH). The lower the pH, the more acidic. A car battery contains acid which is extremely acidic which would be 1-2 pH. Our body should be neutral which is 7 pH or higher. The higher the better. You can test your pH with the test kit included with the machine. The more you drink, the more regulated your body will become and the more health, more energy, more mental clarity - better overall health you will experience. The water produced from this machine contains twice the oxygen content as regular water. The machine can produce acidic water which is good for cleaning skin, fruits, vegetables and for general cleaning of tables and surfaces. The Homay Water Ionizer also has a neutral setting for producing only purified water without ionization. The machine will self clean periodically to ensure optimal performance and long life.

Installation is a breeze: The faucet adapter attaches to the output of your sink faucet which allows you to switch the flow to the prefilter and from the prefilter to your Homay machine. The homay machine has a special tube that simply diverts waste water and acidic water into your sink. The high pH water flows from the flexible spout on top of the machine. It’s very simple and instructions are included in your manual.

Includes two faucet adapter kits. One is universal and one is for intermittent use for producing large quantities of ionized water for later use. Both will work with a majority of brands on the market. Set comes with pH tester solution with strip, hoses, clamps and detailed instruction manual.

How does it work? The Homay Water Ionizer uses a special electrolysis chamber made of 5 Titanium Platinum alloy plates to create the ion membrane. This chamber instantly activates automatically when you turn on the water to the machine. It produces water on demand. The water is first fed into the internal water filter. This filter’s first layer is non-woven fiber to stop rust and sediment, the second layer is silver impregnated activated carbon to absorb toxins like chlorine, arsenic and other toxic substances, the silver kills bacteria and virus. The third layer is a special Polysulfone Hollow fiber material to trap even the smallest particles, bacteria, virus, fungus and parasites. And we will even include a pre-filter system to keep your internal filter cleaner, longer. The prefilter system will trap all particles of rust, dirt, sand, mud and large fungus, bacteria and parasites. It will keep your internal filter clear of debris so it will last much longer. Your health should be top priority.

Easy Installation on Counter Top

Step 1: Install faucet on/off valve adapter which comes with a universal connector for most brands of faucets. Left photo above.

Step 2: Direct the hoses/power cord in the correct position under the Homay Ionizer Machine. Middle photo above. This allows you to install the unit on either side of your sink and reduces unsightly hoses.

Step 3: Connect the inlet hose to the machine to your faucet adapter, aim the waste hose in the sink and you’re finished.

Turn on: rotate the faucet valve knob towards you and turn on your water, purge the system for a few minutes with the unit off to clean and prime the filters.

Once complete, plug the machine in and you will be ready to enjoy pure, ionized, clustered water.

Free Pre-Filter System

This is the FREE two stage pre-filter system we include with each Water Ionizer you purchase. It includes a fiber 1st stage to stop rust and sediment and an activated carbon 2nd stage to filter taste, chlorine and other chemicals. This pre-filter system is the industry standard and refill filters can be purchased from any hardware store. It will just about double the life of your Homay internal filter.

How often do I need to change my filters? You should change your internal canister filter when the machine notifies you after 12,000L have passed through your filter. You should change the prefilter 1st stage fiber filter a minimum of twice per year depending upon input water quality and the 2nd stage carbon filter should be changed once per year.

We include a special wrench for your pre-filter system. The system can be mounted under your sink to keep it out of your way, it comes with mounting hardware and hoses. The filters for your prefilter system can be purchased at any hardware store.

Mineral / Vitamin Chamber

This nifty addition allows you to add coral calcium or minerals. Most people place coral calcium or mineral powder in this compartment to trace the water and make it healthier. Filled with coral calcium, it will last a few weeks with normal use.

Installation Materials

Instruction booklet, installation guide and kit are included. All mounting and installation hardware is included.

Quick Installation Guide

The prefilter with specialized wrench

Parts for installation A-F

A: extension hose for connecting faucet adapter “E” to pre-filter inlet “1”
(Coiled at right.)
B: hose clamps to secure hose line to barb connectors so water doesn’t leak
(Three at bottom.)
C: universal adapter for impossible installations – last resort
(White in middle.)
D: male-to-male adapter to connect your standard threaded faucet to “E”
(Small ring on left)
E: faucet diverter valve – has on/off valve to divert water to ionizer
(Tube with handle at bottom left.)
F: pH test kit and screws to install ionizer on a wall
(In see-through package.)

It is recommended that that pre-filter system be installed under your sink by a professional. It will be necessary to install a through hole to feed the diverted water from the faucet into the pre-filter under the sink, then back up to the water ionizer in which case a hole about ½” diameter will suffice for both hoses or two individual 3/8” holes may be used. Hose extensions may be required. Extra parts may be obtained from any hardware store. Male to male barbed connectors, vinyl hose and extra hose clamps may be required for under sink installations.

The pre-filter system may also be installed on top with the ionizer – though unsightly it will allow you all the benefits of having the water pre-filtered which removes mud, dirt, particles, rust, taste & chlorine, parasites and chemicals so they don’t clog your main internal Homay filter. To order additional internal filters please contact your Homay representative.

Installation Steps

Step 1

Install “D” on the faucet end
Install “E” on “D” as seen above

Step 2

Install the hose “A” with 1 hose clamp and tighten the clamp with a screw driver.

Step 3

Connect the other end of the hose to the pre-filter, side “1” pictured above.

You will need to place the pre-filter in your sink on it’s side. The filter does not need to stand up for this step. Turn on the water faucet on to a low output and turn on the diverter valve so water flows into the pre-filter. Let it flush for 3 minutes or until clear water flows out. Once clear water flows turn off the water and valve.

Step 4

Connect the water inlet hose from the ionizer to the pre-filter, side “2”

Make sure all hose connections are secured in place with hose clamps or you will have water leaks

Do not plug the ionizer into the wall yet. Make sure the pair of drain hoses are directed into the sink. Turn on the hot water to a low output and switch the diverter valve on. Water should flow from the output of the ionizer and from the drain hose into the sink. This is the time to check for leaks and tighten hose clamps. Once this is done turn off the water, plug in the ionizer and you are done.
