Subliminals For Hair Loss

Mendoza — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:30:16 +0000

Normally, hair loss is an issue that only adults need to be anxious of. But in some cases, teenagers are at risk of losing their hair too. When this happens, it definitely signifies that something is wrong.

Hair loss at this point in a person's life can mean that he or she is perhaps not getting enough nutrition or is suffering from an illness. Because of this, more and more people have turned to subliminals in treating hair loss problems.

Hair Essentials

Hair is made of keratin – a form of protein. A single strand is composed of a hair shaft (the exterior), a root beneath the skin, and a follicle from which the root develops. The lower end of the hair follicle is known as the hair bulb, which produces the color pigment called melanin.

Most folks lose around 50-100 strands of hair each day. These hair strands are subsequently replaced as they grow back in the hair follicles. This quantity of hair loss is completely normal and should not be viewed as a reason for worry.

If you notice that you're losing more hair than what is considered natural, then something must be wrong. The appropriate medical term for this is alopecia. It is a condition wherein the degree of hair loss is enough to create balding patches on a person's head.

To properly diagnose and treat alopecia, it is an excellent idea to consult a doctor. He or she can help you identify the underlying problem and correct the condition as necessary.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

1. Medications

Medications usually produce various side effects, and one of them is hair loss. These drugs may include anti-acne medicines (i.e. isotretinoin), lithium, diet pills containing amphetamines, and chemotherapeutic agents.

2. Medical Conditions

Certain diseases can get in the way of normal hair growth. As a consequence, hair loss could come about. These medical conditions may include endocrine disorders (i.e. thyroid disease, uncontrolled diabetes), kidney and liver disorders, and systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). The hormonal imbalance that results from polycystic ovary syndrome can also trigger hair loss in teenage girls and adult women.

3. Hair Treatments and Styling

Chemicals contained in hair treatments and styling products can damage the hair and cause them to temporarily fall out or break off. Then again, if you're not too careful, the condition may become permanent. This condition is dubbed as traction alopecia. It results from pulling hair so forcefully in an extended period of time that it puts tension on your scalp.

4. Poor Nutrition

Poor eating habits can actually be a factor to hair loss. Because of this fact, some people who suffer from eating disorders (i.e. bulimia or anorexia) also lose a significant amount of hair. The body basically lacks vitamins, minerals and proteins – all of which are necessary to maintain hair growth.

Vegetarians also face the possibility of hair loss – that is if they don't consume enough amounts of proteins from non-meat sources. On the other hand, athletes have an elevated risk of developing the condition since they have a greater tendency to be iron-deficient.

How Do Subliminals Work?

Studies have shown that hair loss can be overturned with the help of special stimuli applied to the brain – also known as subliminals. An audio recording that contains subliminal messages is designed to stimulate blood circulation to the scalp and trigger the hair cells to multiply. As a result, hair will start to re-emerge and thicken within just several days of exposure to the stimuli.

Nevertheless, you need to be patient since the maximum effect of subliminals in treating hair loss would usually take longer to produce. If you've been suffering from the condition for a couple of years or so, it would typically require a much lengthier time to revitalize blood circulation and cell reproduction inside the scalp.

Russian Spies, Language and Subliminals

Mendoza — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:45:05 +0000

Over the years, numerous films have depicted Russian spies in various ways. "James Bond" movies and other espionage flicks never lacked the attendance a certain Russian spy working with or against the protagonist. In reality, however, these operatives have been through a lot of rigid training just to be called worthy of their role. Russian spies were even purported to have been learning language through subliminals.

The Russian Spies

The Russians have two agencies involved in espionage. The SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service) performs all the intelligence and surveillance work, while the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) protects Russia from espionage efforts of other countries.

The SVR is Russia's main external intelligence organization. It is the descendant of the FCD (First Chief Directorate) of KGB ever since December of 1991. The agency's headquarters are located in Yasenevo, Moscow – just outside of the Moscow Automobile Ring Road.

Not like the FSB, this agency is responsible for all intelligence efforts overseas. It functions in collaboration with the GRU, which is the country's military intelligence organization. Nevertheless, the SVR is still more powerful behind the scenes in comparison to the GRU particularly with regard to identifying Russia's foreign policy.

In addition, the SVR takes part in anti-terrorism collaboration and intelligence-sharing agreements with foreign intelligence organizations. The service also offers analysis and provision of intelligence to the Russian President.

The FSB, on the other hand, is the primary domestic security agency of Russia. It is the principal successor of the KGB, NKVD, and Soviet-era Cheka. This organization is engaged in counter-intelligence, internal/border security, surveillance, and counter-terrorism. The headquarters can be found on Lubyanka Square in downtown Moscow.

At present, Russian intelligence agencies can no longer recruit individuals purely on account of Communist ideals, which was considered the "first pillar" of the recruitment for KGB. The secondary pillar was devotion to Russia.

Learning Language Through Subliminals

Languages are basically acquired by means of listening to a particular spoken language – or languages. As a matter of fact, there are places in the world wherein it is commonplace to find multilingual people. The most amazing part is that none of these folks learned the various tongue in formal schools.

Speaking four or five languages is actually part of some people's daily life. Due to the constant exposure to the sounds and words, the mind starts to spontaneously soak up the foreign tongue. After a while, the language is ingrained into the brain. People then begin to grasp and speak the words.

The human brain is mechanically programmed to receive the words and arrange them so that they make sense. The mechanism may differ from one language to another, yet not as much as you would believe. Every language is engraved to such a close pattern that some linguists consider them essentially as dialects of one primary tongue. In other words, each of us already have a machine that awaits the acquisition of a foreign language.

You simply need to learn the sounds and how they differ form your own language. After that, you just have to study the words. That's basically everything you have to know. And subliminals basically help you do all of this at a much faster rate.

Learning language through subliminals is very effective and provides desirable results in just a short span of time. Because of its effectiveness, Russian spies have been alleged to be using the method all along during their training.

That is perhaps why most of them are portrayed in movies as multingual operatives.

Alternative Technologies Subliminals

Mendoza — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 08:15:17 +0000

Thanks to the fast-paced technology of the world today, more and more ways to improve, maintain and enhance the well-being of individuals are available. For people who want to take care of their mental and physical health sans the medicines and other drugs, perhaps alternative technologies subliminals may just be the perfect method for them.

Brain Wave Subliminals

From the name itself, brain wave subliminals focus and target the brain waves of individuals. What's great about brain waves subliminals is that the people can participate in the process of making themselves become better through a method called "self-talk". With proper motivation and perspective, individuals can change their brain programming and eventually, their lives.

How Do Brain Waves Subliminals Work?

The word "subliminal" pertains to a threshold below the conscious perception of human beings. Since you are not aware of the existing subliminal programming underlying the music or sounds of nature (birds chirping, ocean waves, rustling leaves, etc.), you are simply receiving the subliminal repetitive positive suggestions without any force of resistance from your mind.

Because your conscious mind is not the main target of subliminal messages, you can't really put up any barriers or walls against the messages. Eventually, you will learn to accept and integrate the unconscious messages given to you and you will notice positive changes in your behaviour, performance, and outlook in life.

The reprogramming of the mind and attitude aims to get rid of negative thoughts, ideas and feelings that hinder an individual from performing successfully. By ridding an individual of all the pent-up negative feelings in his or her system, self-esteem and self-confidence will increase which will result to a higher sense of self-efficacy.

Brain Waves Subliminals Make Use Of "Blink Moments"

"Blink moments" are what we may refer to as rapid cognitions or intuitions. The author of the book "Blink", Malcolm Gladwell, defines rapid cognition as the kind of thinking that occurs in just a blink of an eye.

The problem is, most people don't usually trust their "blink" moments. Some tend to be too apprehensive and they dwell more on the objective aspects as well as facts rather on their intuition, no matter how prevalent and strong it may seem to be.

Brain wave subliminals can help individual to cultivate and develop their intuition. Since these subliminal messages work on a deep inner level of the human brain, they can simply change the programming of your brain. You can ditch the behaviours and beliefs that you don't want and replace them with ideas and thoughts that you would like to integrate in your mind.

You will eventually feel that your attitudes and behaviours have changed for the better, thanks to the reprogramming of your mind. In addition, you will also learn to trust your intuition than you did before the reprogramming.

You will have the inner power to know the right thing to do as well as have the calmness and serenity whenever crises arises because the brain wave subliminals have developed your intuition and programmed your mind to trust your decisions that occur in "blink" moments. Finally, people who undergo brain wave subliminals must also perform self-talk to support further the reprogramming of the brain.

Alternative technologies subliminals may not be approved and accepted by everybody, but they have already touched and improved a lot of individuals who were brave and courageous enough to try them.

Silent Subliminals: How Effective Are They?

Mendoza — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:30:01 +0000

Subliminal messages are said to be effective in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Ericksonian Hypnosis. Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP is a psychological therapy in which words are said to have an impact on people's thinking and internal images.

Ericksonian Hypnosis, on the other hand, is a very tender yet very effective form of hypnosis. It creates supportive and affirming messages that are designed to provide both unconscious and conscious experiences of reflective and philosophical change.

A lot of people are still doubtful about the effectiveness of subliminal messages. The most common question of sceptics is "how would one know if its effective or not?". The answer is quite simple, if we look at subliminal messages scientifically and psychologically. All human beings have so-called "mental programs" that consist of beliefs and thoughts which determine the behaviour of an individual. The beliefs and thoughts present in an individual's mind may be positive, negative or both.

Silent Subliminals Can Change One's Life

If you want to have a whole new outlook on life, or if you simply want to get rid of your negative thoughts and feelings to be able to cultivate and develop your positive behaviour and actions, you can use silent subliminals to achieve your goal. Subliminal audio programs can change your "mental programs" and generally change your life. With the use of subliminal messages, your mind can undergo a re-education process which will truly be advantageous for you.

Studies And Research

There have been many studies pertaining to the effectiveness of subliminals on people's mind. A Congressional Report in 1984 submitted by the House Committee on Science and Technology concluded that subliminal messages can be picked up by the brain, recorded and then called upon later, as needed.

Another study pertaining to subliminal messages was conducted at Boston University in October, 2001. Los Angeles Times reported that the study held at Boston confirmed that subliminal messages are really powerful and effective tools in altering, improving and enhancing the mindset of individuals.

Subliminal messages are said to be silent sculptors of the mind because they basically target the unconscious mind and they also try to infiltrate the mind of a person without any sound or warning at all. Researchers at Duke and Harvard University have also been involved in studying the effectiveness of subliminal messages and they all came up with quite the same conclusions with the previous researches conducted.

Do Doctors Approve Of Using Subliminals For Patients?

Although not all doctors seem to believe the power of subliminals, there are still a good number of doctors and psychologists that recommend subliminal treatment for their patients. One particular doctor who is known for his strong confidence and belief in subliminal messages is Dr. Bernie Siegel.

He reports that when calming subliminal messages are given to the patients who undergo surgery, they seem to recover faster than those patients who did not receive any form of subliminal message. There is also great evidence that patients who receive subliminal messages require less anaesthesia and feel less anxious than patients who did not receive any kind of subliminal treatment.

Silent subliminal messages may still not be wholly acknowledged by the medical field, but more and more medical practitioners are discovering the wonders of subliminal messages.

For the psychiatrists and psychologists, they don't really have to be convinced about the power of subliminal messages for they already know how powerful subliminal messages can be in tweaking the unconscious mind of people.

The Basics Of Ultrasonic Subliminals

Mendoza — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:45:10 +0000

People all over the world are discovering the benefits of using ultrasonic subliminals to effect change in their lives. In fact, numerous audio products have been developed and sold on the market to be of assistance to folks who want to turn their life and careers around – obviously, for the better.

However, a lot of individuals are still skeptical about the effectiveness of ultrasonic subliminals. To get a better understanding of what it is all about, you need to take the two concepts apart and be familiar with how they work. After that, you may determine for yourself whether it does work or not.

What is Ultrasonic?

Ultrasonic is actually the adjective of the term "ultrasound", which is sound with frequencies greater than the maximum threshold of human hearing. Technically, a person can hear sounds between the range of 20 Hz and 20,0000 Hz. This upper limit has a tendency to diminish with age. For that reason, most adults have become incapable of hearing sounds beyond 16 kHz (16,000 Hz).

The human ear itself doesn't really react to frequencies of less than 20 Hz. However, these can be felt through the sense of touch. Some recent studies had also revealed a "hypersonic effect" – a term that describes the phenomenon that demonstrates a quantifiable outcome on a person's psychological reaction with respect to the absence or the presence of frequencies beyond 20,000 Hz. You may not consciously perceive the sound but it can definitely have an effect on you.

What is Subliminal?

In Latin, the term "subliminal" stands for "beneath the threshold". It represents information that is exceedingly faint for a person to perceive consciously. Nevertheless, it is recorded in the subconscious area of the mind. At times, the word subliminal can also stand for the pieces of information that the conscious mind has chosen to pay no attention to in favor of more interesting or more obvious details.

Subliminals are helpful in making modifications to the subconscious portion of a person's brain, which basically guides one's actions. Since this aspect of the mind is not equipped with the capacity for rational thinking, it will unerringly believe whatever it is told, for as long as it is done with enough repetitions or a sufficient amount of emotions.

You must wonder if it is possible for the two aspects of the mind – the conscious and the subconscious – to argue. The answer is a big "YES". Of course they disagree. And whenever this occurs, the subconscious mind would win the squabble all the time.

To get a better image of how the conscious and the subconscious aspects of the mind struggle against each other, try to picture this out: the conscious mind is usually left powerless when conflicting subconscious ideas – thoughts that could not be controlled by logical thinking – linger in a person's brain. In essence, the conscious mind is largely responsible for your "waking life", while the subconscious mind reigns in the "world of the dreaming".

How Does Ultrasonic Subliminals Work?

Ultrasonic subliminals make the most of the fact that the conscious side of your brain is intended to concentrate only on a few things, while the subconscious aspect makes a note of everything that is registered by any of your five senses.

By making use of subliminals to repetitively expose the subconscious mind to certain messages, you can make it believe and consequently accept those ideas as newfound programming. Once it has accomplished that, it starts manifesting the recently encoded ideas and the changes occur.

Alternative Technology: Subliminals

Mendoza — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:34:54 +0000

When people are physically sick, they usually go to the doctor and have their bodies assessed for whatever pain or sickness they have. When people are mentally or emotionally disturbed, they usually go to a counsellor, psychiatrist or psychological to alleviate their emotional anguish and psychological distress.

However, there is an alternative technology that offers both healing and improvement of physical, emotional and mental health. This alternative technology is better known as subliminals.

What Are Subliminals?

The theory behind the utilization of subliminals is that the messages which are under a person's visual level or audio level will be received directly by the "unconscious" mind, thus by-passing conscious detection and evaluation. People who listen to subliminal tapes just hear music or sounds from nature, such as waves, waterfalls, chirping birds, rustling leaves, dolphin calls, etc on the surface.

Underneath these music or nature sounds are subliminal verbal messages and affirmation that are inaudible to cognisant perception. According to this theory, the "subconscious" mind can and will tell apart the inaudible verbal messages from the audible sound messages, react to them, and act upon them.

The concept of receiving messages unconsciously through finer discerning mechanisms unavailable to the conscious mind is founded on Sigmund Freud's theory of the unconscious.

Freud proposed that the driving force behind human behavior is the unconscious mind. He described the mind as being like an iceberg. The mass below the surface is referred to the unconscious mind and the conscious mind is referred to as the "tip" of the iceberg. Freud emphasized that the unconscious mind makes up most of the human brain, what is obvious and conscious is only a small part of the wholeness of a person. Hence, the promoters of the alternative technology of subliminals are fundamentally Freudian.

What Do Subliminals Offer?

Through the use of subliminal messages and recordings, the supposed power of the Freudian-invented unconscious is said to be at work. Individuals are told that they can be able to lose weight, stop smoking, improve their sleep, improve their sex life, overcome phobias and fears, relieve and totally eliminate stress, reduce migraines, etc.

Some subliminals even suggest cures for cancer, as well as liberation from physiological problems. Although such promises seem to be a rip-off to some people, there are actually some individuals who are willing to testify about the effectiveness of subliminals. There is an ongoing debate on whether subliminals are really effective or not.

In spite of the partial deficiency of scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of subliminals, they have grown to be quite accepted among Christians. There are now available "Christian" subliminal tapes distributed by a number of Christian "ministries."

Instead of using the customary Drink Coke or Eat Popcorn advertising subliminal messages, the Scripture is used along with, or in place of, other messages. These Christian subliminal promoters guarantee about the same things as their secular counterparts, with one exception; unlike their secular counterparts, they assert Christian rootedness and Christian spiritual aid for the listeners.

To conclude, alternative technologies subliminals are not 100% proven to be effective. People are divided whenever the issue of subliminal messages arise. Some would say that subliminal messages are just rip-offs and may be referred to as "placebos".

However, some people would also say that subliminal messages are effective; they are not only believable because they don't really target the conscious mind of individuals.

Opting For A Different Approach

Mendoza — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 19:33:29 +0000

Life has too many struggles and people can get desperate at times. In face of so many troubles you may want to quit. You can choose to be high with drugs or you can choose to help yourself. Some choose an approach that may seem a little too eccentric yet has no side effects. All you need is to believe and see the effects; this is when they opt for the use of subliminal messages.

What Is It?

This is a method on which you embed a secret message within another message that can be perceived. An example would be embedding a hidden message within a song. When you listen to that specific song, you may not know it but your mind is also picking up that hidden message it can actually influence you to do what that message tells you to do.

These are called subliminal messages. More often there are a lot of companies now selling customized subliminal media at high costs. But of course with the Internet around there are also sites that offer free subliminals that already has a preprogrammed message. All you have to do is pick one that suits your need.

Beginners' Guide

You may already have decided to get some free subliminals off the Internet. But if it's your first time to use this kind of media, there are some things that you should know before using it. These are just some precautions that would ensure you the effectiveness of the message and just some safety reminders you ought to know.

Foresee The Product

Before downloading on any of the offered messages online, you should foresee first the product that you want. Meaning, you should think of your goal, the end product. You should have a mindset of what is it exactly that you want to be after using the subliminal for quite some time. Having a specific desired outcome is very helpful for you to monitor changes.

Suits You Right

Now that you have an outcome; it's time for you to choose a subliminal audio track that fits you the best. Choose one that can help you with the problem you want to be solved or something that is approximate to it if you can't find a free subliminal that answers exactly your problem.

Remember that you don't have to go on a downloading spree. Just choose one for the mean time that you will use for about 21 days. Targeting one behavior at a time is more effective than targeting too many behaviors because this can clutter up your mind. So just choose one message for the meantime and listen to it for 20 minutes in the span of 21 days.

Listening

When you are listening to your track, make sure that you are not driving or operating a machinery. Doing such activities can lessen the effect of the message because your mind is probably too busy with the ongoing activity. It is best that you listen to the track while at rest or in a relaxing environment.

Moving On

Lastly, when you have already seen the results that you wanted. Then it's time to stop listening to the track. It's time to move on and listen to other free subliminal self-help tracks to gain more positive attitudes in life!

Alternative Technologies Subliminals And Their Growing Popularity

Mendoza — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 23:07:04 +0000

A lot of people are already being open to new changes and technologies in the field of healing of mental, physical and emotional problems. One of the new innovations that seem to be getting more popular nowadays is the alternative technologies subliminals.

Subliminal messages are inaudible or invisible messages that are displayed for a very brief span of time. The time that subliminal messages are presented are so short that your mind does not consciously detect the message. Your unconscious mind is the one who can detect and interpret the message.

In short, there is no overt and conscious registration of the message. Your unconscious mind is the one who will interpret and integrate the message into your system. This means that your conscious mind cannot develop arguments against the ideas brought about by subliminals and so you are more vulnerable to the subliminal suggestion.

Admittedly, there are a lot of controversial issues pertaining to the effectiveness of subliminals. One of the most popular issues concerning subliminals is the one that involves advertisements that use subliminals and applying or spreading subliminal messages to unwilling subjects.

What Are Self-help Subliminals

If you want to try subliminals on yourself, you can lessen the chances of you being susceptible to unnecessary information and messages by opting to have self-help subliminals. Self-help subliminals usually give the clients the privilege to customize the messages. You can decide what subliminal messages and recordings you feed your unconscious mind. You can be sure that the ideas behind the subliminal messages are significant to you and can address your needs.

Self-help subliminals is an extraordinary computer program that enables you to present your own subliminal messages and apply them to modify your life. You use the subliminal program to present your personal constructive affirmations subliminally in visual or verbal form. You are in total control of how the messages are displayed and how the messages are displayed.

This kind of self-help subliminals can be referred to as customized subliminals since you are the one in-charge for the messages that you receive. You can make use of the subliminal messages while at relaxing or while you are working.

Subliminal Self-help Computer Technology

Although there are loads of subliminal tapes and CDs available in the market today, another genre of subliminal messages is beginning to be more preferred than the traditional tapes and CDs. Subliminal computer programs are now beginning to catch the attention of the public, especially those people who spend a lot of time facing their computer screens.

Another point why subliminal computer programs are becoming more popular is because compared to traditional audio tapes or CDs, subliminal computer programs can greatly assure people that there is really a message inside. It's quite hard to detect if a so-called subliminal tape really has a subliminal message in it, right? For all you know, you could have purchased a blank tape, without any subliminal message at all! That would be a perfectly horrible rip-off, right?

If you get yourself alternative technologies subliminal such as self-help subliminal computer program, you can be sure that the messages are tailored-fit for you and you get what you deserve from your money. Perhaps the only thing that would hinder you from not being able to fully enjoy subliminal computer programs is when you don't have a computer of your own.

The Power Of Subliminal Messages

Mendoza — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 02:18:42 +0000

Information that is processed in the subconscious part of the brain – also known as subliminal messages – can actually influence a person's attitude and behavior. This finding was revealed in a recent study conducted about the subject. The results also suggests that some subliminal messages may produce effects that are opposite than expected. For instance, subliminal exposure to the image of a flag tones down instead of intensifying political attitudes.

Researchers from the Psychology Department of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem state that the studies they have conducted indicate that subliminal messages indeed have a large influence on attitudes and political behavior. This finding was a significant addition to what is already known about the outcomes of subconscious processes.

The studies, spearheaded by Dr. Ran Hassin – a cognitive scientist, reveal that the subliminal image of the national symbol affected not only the political attitudes of the citizens, but also the voting intents and actual casting of votes in the general elections.

In the article entitled "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", which was published in the U.S. Journal, Hassin's team gave a detailed account about a set of experimentations that analyzed the consequences of the subliminal presentation of their national flag. The research involved more than 300 participants recruited from Hebrew University's Mount Scopus campus.

In the initial trial, the Israeli participants were randomly split up into two groups. They were questioned about their thoughts and feelings regarding the main issues of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. Before responding to the queries, half of the participants were exposed to subconscious images of the national flag flashed on a screen and the other half was not. Based on the results, the exposed group had a propensity to veer to the political core.

A brief exposure to the image of Israel's flag – so fleeting that people did not even have time to take it in – was enough to cause people to embrace more modest views. Another experiment, carried out weeks before the Israelis pulled out from Gaza, produced the same results and displayed centrist views with respect to the retraction and the presence of Jewish settlers in Gaza and the West Bank.

The third experiment, conducted just before the country's most recent general elections, demonstrated the same results. The subliminal image of Israel's national symbol – the flag – attracted left wing, as well as right wing, Israelis to the political hub. Significantly, the participants who were subconsciously exposed to the national flag stated that they meant to opt for more predominant parties than those who were not intentionally exposed to the subliminal image.

The research proponents then summoned the participants after the general elections and discovered that the subliminally exposed group actually voted more moderately. The subliminal exposure to the national flag demonstrated what appears to be an astonishing effect that is yet to be probed and analayzed.

According to Dr. Hassin, the outcomes were interesting for two basic reasons. First, the results provided reliable empirical proof for the non-conscious means in which national ideas ingeniously affect a person's behaviors and thoughts. Dr. Hassin's research team is now expanding the study to investigate what other dogmas can do so, as well as the ways they are expressed.

Secondly, the outcomes considerably extend the experimental knowledge with regard to the nature of the subconscious processes, as well as the influences of subliminal message. At present, Dr. Hassin and his team are exploring the psychological mechanisms that cause this phenomenon.
