those who still have concerns with magnetic holders such as these soap can dry out then gems don't have a chance preservatives are added to liquid soap to keep germs in check it's still a good idea to thoroughly clean a liquid soap dispenser before we filling it. how do the ingredients of the 2 differ industrial made bars of soap usually contain fairly unproblematic substances like beef fat caustic soda vegetable oil and water. but it's dyes fragrances and other additives like moisturisers which can cause problems. liquid soap consists mainly of water and lots of chemicals synthetically produce a fact preservatives and thickening agents as well as agents that produce the desired ph value and the most a fire to hold it all together. dies and fragrances are also found in liquid

soaps around 500 different ones are used by the cosmetics industry 26 of these fragrances and then just to cause skin irritation an x. mark including some made from natural oils. dr hands me. often sees patients who are allergic to soap. valid g.'s a triggered not only by fragrances and diets but also by preservatives. just how high is the risk of an allergic reaction. given generally speaking there are only a few contact allergies when it comes to so the allergens don't have any time to really have an effect on the skin because the soap itself is washed off from an hour ago logical perspective bar so it makes more sense because it releases fewer substances and the short time while liquid soap is a product where all manner of things can be added. it sounds like basso morgan has

6:52 pm
they were very lively armando always had a hard time school he couldn't sit still feel that shtick the teacher said he used to put his hand up and say you needed to go for a run around school was a big problem for him i went to the pediatrician for advice so we're all tall and. the pediatrician diagnosed both the siblings with a.d.h. d. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. to help them concentrate better he prescribed ritalin a drug with the active ingredient methylphenidate which they would have to take every day from then on. the number of ritalin prescriptions to treat a.d.h. d. has risen sharply around the world in recent years. it's a trend that we should be concerned about says psychotherapist and. it's not that easy to diagnose a.d.h.
6:53 pm
so there are a lot of mystery. we think about 40 to 50 percent of cases are missed our ignorance to see that patients are prescribed ritalin and there are a lot of side effects. for example related to growth or appetite. armando didn't have any serious side effects 1st but the drug didn't start to adversely affect him when he hit puberty. m j s miller is working to reduce the number of people who were falsely prescribed ritalin. at the end of the 1990 s. he started researching a new diagnostic procedure for a.d.h. to using in e.g. test to measure brain waves. we measure the patient's brain activity while they're solving tasks so we can see to the middle east 2nd what's happening in the different regions of the brain in this case. together more accurate information he

6:55 pm
the subtype. sometimes psychotherapy isn't enough and the patient needs medication and now because of the data we have on brain physiology we know which drug is the right one and we can justify giving medication to children and other low. as we know that the psychological strain would constantly increase without it . armando can't do without drugs but at least he's now taking something that really helps me to non-medical went behind your suits i'm really happy with the new medication and i can concentrate better i can complete tasks better and i'm more patient when someone asks me something. topical made a good dog. in the past he wouldn't have been able to play this kind of concentration game. now he even does it for fun. that's it for today see you next week and until then let's all try to stay in good
