Best Way to Whiten Teeth Naturally

171 COMMENTS

As crazy as it sounds, this one simple home remedy can really whiten teeth (and help with gum disease) and is also very effective against food poisoning and other types of internal toxins.

I used Activated Charcoal a few months ago when I had an awful bout of food poisoning, and it worked wonders! This is actually the substance that many hospitals have on hand and use when patients have ingested toxins or when they pump patients’ stomachs. It is available as a loose powder and in capsule form (see notes below!)

Activated charcoal is a highly absorbent substance. It removes toxins when they adhere to the surface of the charcoal. It is not absorbed by the body, but passes through the GI system, so chemicals and toxins adhere to it, pass through the body and are expelled by the digestive system.

In the 1800s, two men took lethal doses of poisons (including arsenic) and survived without harm… their secret: they mixed the toxins with activated charcoal powder. (Stating the obvious: do not try to repeat these experiments!)

Activated charcoal is extremely effective at pulling toxins from household chemicals, ingested medicines, and other toxins from the body, especially when taken within 30 minutes of ingestion. For this reason, it is a great first treatment for any kind of poisoning, but should not be taken within several hours of medications (or even vitamins) that DO need to be absorbed.

There is even some evidence that activated charcoal is helpful both before and after alcohol consumption to lessen the amount that is absorbed by the body.

Even mainstream medical sites are on board with the benefits of using activated charcoal for a poison remedy.

Should you ever need to use activated charcoal on yourself of a child for poisoning, use as soon as possible and call a poison control center or go to the emergency room as well to make sure the poison has been fully removed!

I”ve personally used activated charcoal for food poisoning and it worked… I mixed 1-2 tablespoons of activated charcoal with water and drank quickly. The food poisoning went away within a couple of hours.  Charcoal should not be taken regularly, as it can cause constipation and block mineral absorption if it is not needed. Also, it can’t be mixed with dairy products or many foods, as they lower its effectiveness. This dose can be repeated up to 3 times a day until symptoms of food poisoning or other poison are gone.

Important note: If you have to take charcoal, make sure to drink a lot of water as it can cause dehydration if taken in large doses!

Activated charcoal is also effective externally as a poultice on spider and insect bites. I tried this when my son was bitten by a brown recluse, and alternating poultices of activated charcoal, baking soda, and powdered plantain completely reversed the bite and he doesn’t even have a scar now.

Activated charcoal is also the stuff used in gas masks and water filters to remove toxins (Here is my favorite water filter).

But what does that have to do with teeth?

So, it’s all well and good that activated charcoal is an effective poison remedy… but you might be wondering why I brushed my teeth with it…

First, please excuse my weird smile in those pictures and the bad lighting in my bathroom… I was  trying to show all of my teeth (I don’t usually smile like that!  ).

The times that I’d recommended charcoal for use in food poisoning or other digestive issues, I always cautioned people to mix with water and swallow quickly so that it wouldn’t stain their teeth. Then, a holistic dentist I know mentioned that it is very effective at whitening teeth… huh?

Since the powder stains everything, I had always worried that it would do the same to my teeth (one of my kids dumped it in the kitchen one time and it does stain tile, grout, clothes and shoes… just a note).

I did some research and found out that even though it temporarily makes the mouth look extremely black (see picture above!) it has the same effect as it does when ingested: it pulls toxins from the mouth and removes stains. (Fair warning: when you open your mouth, it is completely black and rather scary looking! Right after I did this the first time I was intensely worried that it would stain my teeth!)

To my surprise, all of the black washes away and it makes your teeth feel extremely clean and smooth. After a few uses, my teeth were noticeably whiter too (you can sort of tell in the picture above… the lighting didn’t do it justice!).

Further research I’ve done on this showed that activated charcoal can actually be helpful in changing the pH and health of the mouth, and as such is effective in preventing cavities and killing the bad bacteria present in tooth decay and gingivitis. For this reason, I now suggest and use it as part of my remineralizing protocol for teeth, along with my remineralizing toothpaste.

How to use on teeth: Dip a clean, wet toothbrush into the powdered charcoal (or dump a capsule of charcoal on the toothbrush). Lean over the container or charcoal and quickly put the charcoal covered toothbrush in the mouth (this is to protect your sink). Brush in small, gentle circles for 2 minutes, spit carefully and rinse really well. Your mouth will feel amazingly clean…. your sink, not so much! Use as often as needed.

Where to get Activated Charcoal:

Most natural health stores carry activated charcoal in loose powder or capsule formand it is also available online. I keep both the powdered and capsuled forms on hand in case it is needed for poisoning and I use the powdered in a small glass jar for tooth brushing. Make sure that the charcoal is from wood or coconut sources and not petroleum-based.

Update:

After using the activated charcoal for a few months and swishing with diluted regular 3% hydrogen peroxide when I remember (at the recommendation of a dentist) I am really happy with how white my teeth have gotten!

Here’s a recent picture (cropped from a photo at a family wedding so it looks pixellated ) . Notice the difference?

What do you think? Am I crazy… would you try it for whitening your teeth? Tell me below!

Black Cumin Seed Oil: The Most Powerful Oil In The World?

Want to be notified each time we publish a new blog post? Then make sure you like Natural Living Ideas on Facebook here where we share not only our blog posts, but the best natural living ideas from around the web.

Black Cumin Seed (Nigella Sativa) oil has been used in traditional medicine since the beginning of civilization. It was called Panacea (which roughly translates to ‘cure-all’) in Ancient Egypt; it was found in the tomb of King Tut and it is said that Cleopatra used it as a beauty treatment. Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician, used it to cure digestive and metabolic disorders. The Prophet Muhammad called it “a remedy for every illness except death.”

The oil has also been recommended by practitioners of Ayurveda and Chinese Traditional Medicine for thousands of years for conditions from diabetes to indigestion to cancer. In recent years, it has been put to the test of modern science and several studies confirm its long reported health benefits. Black Cumin Seed Oil is also known as Blackseed, Black Onion Seed, Black Caraway Seed and Black Sesame Seed. If you find a product labeled under one of these names, be sure it is real Nigella Sativa before purchasing.

What Makes it So Magical?

The main active compound in the oil is called crystalline nigellone, which you’ve likely never heard of as it is only found in certain black seeds.  It also contains several nutrients, essential acids and compounds including:

Beta Sitosterol
Calcium
Copper
Folic Acid
Iron
Oleic, Linoleic and Linelenic Acids (Omegas 3 & 6)
Palmitol
Phosphorous
Protein
Stearic Acid
Thymoquinone
Vitmins B1, B2 & B3
Zinc

Black Cumin Seed Oil as a Cancer-Fighter 

Nigella Sativa has been involved in hundreds of studies regarding health, and particularly cancer treatment and prevention. One of the active ingredients listed above, Thymoquinone, has been found to be particularly effective in reducing the size of existing tumors. In studies on rats and humans, researchers found that Black Cumin Seed Oil:

• Inhibited tumor growth by up to 50%
• Increased the growth of healthy bone marrow cells by 250%
• Helps to protect the body against damage from chemotherapy and radiation
• Has strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
• Aides in the production of natural interferon
• Can even deactivate or kill certain types of cancer cells

Miraculous Results for Many Conditions through Improved Immune Function

Overall, the greatest benefit of Black Cumin Seed is its effect on the immune system and metabolism – which, in turn, supports all the functions of the body. The active compounds in the oil have been proven to fight several diseases by naturally boosting the body’s production of immune cells, bone marrow, and natural interferon. It also protects the liver (your body’s filtering system) from toxicity. Even for people in the best health, regular supplementation with Black Cumin Seed Oil can greatly increase their overall sense of health and well-being.

Some of the many conditions successfully treated with regular ingestion of Black Cumin Oil, over an extended period of time (6 months or more), include:

Allergies and Sinusitis
Anxiety and Nervous Tension
Bronchitis
Colds and Flus
Colic (babies)
Diabetes
Diarrhea, Indigestion and Heartburn
Hair Loss
Headaches and Migraines
High Blood Pressure
Insomnia
Intestinal Parasites
Lethargy and Depression 

How to Take Black Cumin Seed Oil 

Health experts and natural physicians generally recommend taking one teaspoon of the oil twice a day, about one hour before a meal. You can take the oil on its own, mixed in juice, or followed by hot tea – as it has a bit of a spicy flavor to it. If you purchase oil, make sure to buy the first cold pressed variety. Most people choose to take the oil in capsule form, which gives the same benefit.

Black Cumin Seed Oil as a Skin Treatment and Beauty Trick

People who consume Black Cumin Seed Oil for health often report an unexpected side effect – their skin, hair and nails are noticeably healthier after just a few months. To those who know the oil well, it’s not too surprising, as for thousands of years (remember Cleopatra) people have been using it as an ingredient in beauty creams.

There are some beauty products and skin treatments on the market, commonly found in Indian and Lebanese markets or online, that contain Black Cumin Seed Oil (check out this one from Nadina). But many people prefer to mix a small amount of the oil into their favorite face cream. People who have tried it, generally swear by it. I know some who recommend it to everyone, and some who try to keep it as their very own beauty secret.

The oil-cream mixture helps to prevent blemishes, fine lines, age spots, dry or oily skin, and always leaves their skin looking young, soft and supple. It’s also great for the rough skin that can develop on hands, feet, elbows and knees. The solution is not only effective as a beauty treatment, it can treat several serious skin conditions when applied directly to problem issues. It has been proved effective on:

Acne
Backache, arthritis and rheumatism
Burns
Eczema
Fungal and other Infections
Joint Pain
Psoriasis
Sore Muscles

Where To Buy Black Cumin Seed Oil

There are a number of different varieties of Black Cumin Seed Oil available to buy. Make sure you buy the cold pressed variety. You can see a number of different brands of Black Cumin Seed Oil here on Amazon.com

Мурсалски чай – едно от тайните чудеса на България

Знаете ли какво еМурсалският чай или Sideritis(анг.)? Защото хиляди хора по света отдавна знаят! Тази уникална българска билка е пазена в тайна години наред от управниците по време на комунистическия режим.

От нейното благотворно влияние са могли да се възползват само отбран кръг от висшестоящи хора. /beu.bg/

Мурсалският чай (Sideritis scardica) е едно от чудесата на България. Това многогодишно растение, известно още и катоПланински, Пирински, Алиботушки и Шарпланински чай, е една от най-полезните билки, растящи в България.

През 70-те години на миналия век космонавтите го пиели при подготовката си за полет. Говори се още, че бил привилегия за членовете на Политбюро на ЦК на БКП през същия период.

Японски учени изследвали преди години мурсалския чай и установили благотворното му въздействие върху множествозаболявания.  

Тъй като гърците са се ориентирали по-рано да го култивират и изнасят, светът познава това чудодейно растение като „гръцки чай” и „гръцки планински чай”.

Мурсалският чай е бяло, достигащо go 50 см височина, цялото космато растение. Обича варовитите терени по високите планински райони из южна България – Среден и Южен Пирин, Мурсалския дял на Родопите и планината Славянка (Алиботуш) от 1400 до 2200 м н. в. Цъфти през лятото в жълто. Бере се надземната част по време на цъфтежа – юни-юли месец.Билката е ендемит за Балканите.

Съдържа: флавоноидни, фенилпропаноидни гликозиди, танини, терпеноиди, дитерпени и етерични масла, феноли, иридоиди, урсолова и олеанова киселина, множество микроелементи като желязо, мед, цинк, кобалт и селен , както и макроелементите калций, магнезий, калий и натрий, които обясняват фармакологичното действие на вида.

Мурсалският чай се отличава с фин, лек вкус и аромат.
Приложение на мурсалския чай:
- При кашлица и възпаление на сливиците
- Предпазва от ракови заболявания
- Бронхит, бронхиална астма
- Действа благотворно при грип
- Чернодробни заболявания (6-8 стръка от билката се варят в 1л вода 3 мин; пие се по 1 винена чаша преди ядене)
- астма
- депресия (едно научно изследване, проведено от немски учени установява благотворното му въздействие при депресии и Синдром на дефицит на вниманието и хиперактивност)
- много силен антиоксидант
- намалява риска от сърдечно-съдови заболявания
- има антибактериално действие ( благодарение на голямото наличие на флавоноиди)
- подсилва имунната система
- помага при превенция на остеопорозата

В Института по ботаника проучват свойствата му и установяват благотворното му влияние на чернодробни и редица други заболявания, както и изумителното му качество, че забавя стареенето.

Може би това е най-добрата билка при кашлица.

Други наричат чудното растение „българската виагра”. 

Как се приготвя? 
Качественият мурсалски чай трябва да е на цели, светлозелени стръкове. В 1 литър вода се поставят 4-5 стръкчета чай. Ври на тих огън 5 минути. За три хубави чая са необходими само едно-две стръкчета.
Може да се комбинира с други билки – при комбинацията на мурсалскисъс зелен чай се получава чудесна напитка, пазеща от рак, засилваща имунитета и притежаваща силно антиоксидантно действие!

Why Google Drive Has Become Microsoft’s Worst Nightmare

As a writer, there's one piece of software that I simply can't live without -- Google (NASDAQ:GOOG  ) Docs.

The first time I used Google Docs six years ago, Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT  ) Office software immediately appeared outdated by comparison. Google's cloud-based documents suddenly made emailing documents to myself or carrying around a USB flash drive embarrassing habits from a bygone era.

Screenshot from my Google Drive.

More importantly, Office users like myself would never have to lose hours of hard work due to software or hardware crashes again. And best of all, Google's revolutionary piece of software, which now forms the core of its cloud-based suite Google Drive, has always been free -- which has always made it a more attractive choice compared to Microsoft's Office suite.

Google rolls out new cloud-based features

Last week, Google updated its Drive app to support multiple account sign-ins and enhanced its integration into the rest of Google's cloud-based ecosystem -- which includes GMail, Google Plus, YouTube, Google Maps, and Chrome. These two updates now allow users with multiple accounts -- for example, work and personal ones -- to seamlessly switch between the two.

Google also added new functions for users to print their files via Google Cloud Print and AirPrint, and improved its support for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) iOS 7 devices. Google also added some new "quick action buttons" on Gmail, allowing users to do some common tasks -- such as confirming subscriptions or replying to event invitations -- directly without opening the body of the email. In addition, attachments are now directly sent to Drive, eliminating the need to download them.

These enhancements boost the effectiveness of Google's ecosystem, making it a software suite that individuals and businesses are becoming increasingly dependent on.

Therefore, let's take a moment to reflect on how Google has entrenched itself as an indispensable part of our daily lives.

It all goes back to Microsoft

Back in 1995, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates rightly believed that the Internet would become an inseparable part of personal computing, and merged the company's web browser, Internet Explorer, with its operating system, Windows 95.

However, Microsoft's intentions didn't become clear until the release of Internet Explorer 4 in 1997, when it introduced the "Active Desktop," which combined the web browser with desktop folders -- effectively making it an extension of the operating system.

This was considered an anti-competitive move by other web browser companies, such as Netscape. Therefore, the Department of Justice shattered Microsoft's dreams of creating the ultimate browser-based operating system in 1999, when it ruled that Microsoft had violated antitrust laws on various hardware and software fronts. As a result, Microsoft had to separate Internet Explorer from Windows and make concessions to rivals such as Apple, Lotus, Java, and Netscape, among others.

Google flips Microsoft's business model upside down

That story should sound awfully familiar to users of Google's cloud-based ecosystem. Just like Microsoft, Google had a mission to create an operating system that was inseparable from the Internet. However, Google didn't get in trouble with the DOJ or its industry peers -- mainly because it distributed everything for free.

The main difference between the two companies is that while Google built its ecosystem around its core search engine, Microsoft attempted to add features to its operating system, which was already dominating PC sales at the time.

Here's a timeline on how Google expanded from a simple search engine into the cloud-based ecosystem on which many of us are dependent on today.

Year	Notable event(s)
1998	Google's search engine goes online.
2004	Google controls 85% of all online search queries.
2005	Google Maps is launched.
2006	Google acquires YouTube, launches Calendar and Translate.
2007	Gmail becomes available to the public. Google Docs is released.
2008	Google Chrome is released. Android 1.0 is released for mobile devices.
2009	Chromium OS, the predecessor to Chrome OS, is released.
2010	Google launches its first social network, Google+.
2011	The first Chromebooks (laptops with Chrome OS installed) arrive.
2012	Google Drive replaces Google Docs, adding cloud-based file storage and synchronization features, along with search engine integration of shared files.

Source: Google.

To put it simply, Google's strategy was the exact opposite of Microsoft's.

Google purchased or created services that it knew the public would depend on, then tied them all together into a single ecosystem that could be accessed with a single login -- the Gmail account. It offered all of these services for free, knowing that they would all eventually funnel back into its main source of revenue -- its search engine.

Today, Google has two operating systems -- Chrome OS for personal computers and Android for mobile devices -- which seamlessly tie a user's Google services together across multiple devices, all for free.

Microsoft, on the other hand, initially charged customers to install Windows, charged them again for installing Office, and then allowed third-party companies to charge them again to install additional software in its operating system. In addition, it offered Windows and Office in tiered pricing versions, each with additional "premium" features.

Unfortunately for Microsoft, that business model only worked when there wasn't a viable alternative. Microsoft didn't have to worry too much in the 1990s, when its main competitors -- Apple and Linux -- only occupied small niche markets.

However, Google's popularity as a search engine gave it credibility, and over the past five years, Chrome and Android have become viable alternatives to Microsoft operating systems -- especially on lower-powered laptops, hybrid devices, and tablets.

Is Google really a major threat to Microsoft?

Even though Chrome OS hasn't risen to topple Windows yet, take a look at this chart.

OS market share as of October 2013. Source: Netmarketshare.com

Judging from the 81% of computer users who still use Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, it's safe to say that customers aren't keen on paying for new operating systems -- which means more customers might install Chrome OS or another Linux distribution instead of Windows 8.

In terms of productivity software, Microsoft still has an overwhelming lead with over 90% of the market -- but that figure doesn't account for cloud-based alternatives like Google Docs. In fact, a survey from Gartner earlier this year showed that Google's market share in cloud-based productivity suites rose from 10% in 2007 to 50% in 2012.

That stunning figure doesn't bode well for Microsoft, which entered the cloud-based productivity software game extremely late in 2011 with Office 365, which still costs $20 per month.

In closing, the writing's on the wall, folks -- Microsoft still doesn't get the three main reasons we love Google's ecosystem -- it's seamless, it works, and it's free.

Как се лекува кокоши трън?

Всеки е виждал върху себе си или върху другите неприятните брадавици, наричани кокоши трън. Причиняват се от човешки папилома вирус и за зла врага лечението не е от най – лесните неща на света. Възможно е да се появи по ръцете и краката, по – рядко върху глезените и стъпалата, раменете или подбедрицата.

Най – лошо от всичко е, че проблемът с кокошия трън далеч не е само козметичен. Тези брадавици врастват много надълбоко в човешката кога и когато нараснат, предизвикват силна и неприятна болка. Съществуват няколко основни начина за излекуване, като досега най – сигурният е да бъде изгорен с азот.

Ако обаче се страхувате от медицинските процедури или ви се виждат твърде скъпи, има и няколко стари рецепти. Вие решете сами – дали да излекувате кокоши трън с помощта на народната медицина, или да се доверите на традиционната.

Народни рецепти за лечение на кокоши трън

Вземете малко калиев перманганат и капнете две – три – четири капчици отгоре. Бъдете внимателни. Оставете да подейства и след време брадавицата би трябвало да падне сама.

Подобно е лечението и със сребърен нитрат. Сложете малко върху кокошия трън и залепете с лепенка. Оставете да престои около 12 часа, а когато махнете лепенката той трябва да е напълно почернял и да падне сам до няколко дни.

Това навярно е най – безопасната рецепта. Смесете поравно оцет, олио и вода. След това накиснете кокошия трън за 15 –ина минути в топла вода, за да омекне. Натопете голямо парченце памук в добре разбърканата смес от оцет, олио и вода. Поставете върху брадавицата и направете превръзка, която трябва да остане на мястото поне половин денонощие. Прави се всеки ден, докато падне.

Свети Мина

Свети Мина

На 11 ноември почитаме Свети Мина

Почитаме свети Мина като покровител на семейството. Името му означава “месечина, луна”. Известен Чудотворец, покровител на сираците и бездомните, свети Мина се смята за патрон и покровител на всички народни лечители, знахари, войни, както и на хората, поели на дълъг път. Св. Мина закриля и жените, затова на този ден те се молят пред иконата на светеца за здраве на децата си, за радост и благополучие на дома.

В народните представи Свети Мина е бил господар на вълците, които трябвало да пуска и да прибира. Неговият празник бележи средата на така наречените Вълчи празници – от Архангеловден до Коледни Заговезни – времето, в което вълците бесуват. От днес започват “Вълчите празници”, които водят след себе си най-дългите нощи. По това време хората довършвали всички започнати ремонти, поправяли огради и запушвали процепите, през които можели да се промъкнат тенци, караконджоли и други зли сили.

Св. Мина бил войник в Египет. За вярата след мъчения бил посечен с меч в 296 година при Диоклетиан и Максимиан. Той изповядвал християнската вяра и служил във войската, разположена в Котуанската област, под началството на военачалника Фирмилиан. По това време в Рим царували заедно двамата нечестиви царе Диоклетиан и Максимиан (284-305). Те издали указ да се предават на мъчения и да се убиват всички християни, които не се покланят на идолите. Според указа вярващите в Христа навсякъде били принуждавани да извършат идолски жертвоприношения.

Тогава блаженият Мина, като не желаел да гледа това бедствие и почитането на бездушните идоли, оставил воинското си звание и се оттеглил в планините, в пустинни места. Той сметнал, че е по-добре да живее със зверовете, отколкото с хора, които не познават Бога. Свети Мина дълго време се скитал в планините и пустините, поучавайки се в Божия Закон, с пост и молитва очиствайки душата си и служейки ден и нощ на Единия Истински Бог. Така изминало доста дълго време.

How to Clone a Hard Drive

For backing up data, there's no shortage of alternatives to choose from. Few, however, are as simple and straightforward as simply cloning your hard drive. If you need to copy all of your data, or want to safeguard against a corrupted or physically damaged hard drive, having a functional copy of the drive you can immediately turn to is hard to beat. And unlike some backup strategies, which require regular attention or convoluted tools, cloning a drive is a relatively uncomplicated affair.

Two Options: Clone or Image
A clone is a direct copy, bit for bit, so that the data stored on the cloned drive is identical to the data on the original drive. From the operating system to the hidden directory files, from your desktop to the device drivers, everything is copied identically. Swap the old drive out for a freshly made clone and there should be no functional difference. You can also use the cloned drive in another PC, and aside from some potential missing drivers due to hardware differences, it should work just like your old system, making it an ideal backup in the event of a damaged PC. The downside to this, however, is that a direct bit-for-bit clone will usually be the only thing on the backup drive.

The second option is to create a disk image, which is a snapshot of the drive data; it still creates a complete copy of the drive contents, but it does so in a single compressed file. It's sort of like copying your entire drive to a big .zip file. You can actually back up more than one image, letting you save the entirety of your drive multiple times and different points in time, and save them locally (to a backup partition) or onto a separate drive. The downside, however, is that the image isn't immediately functional. For an explanation of how to create and use a disk image, see "The Beginner's Guide to PC Backup".

Tools and Utilities
For those who want to clone their drive directly, there are several tools available. Among the many backup utilities we've reviewed, our top pick is Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5.

It's an amazingly thorough and powerful backup application, more suitable to expert IT managers than for small businesses or consumers. It can do just about anything, but you should need to read a downloadable manual to use some of its features.

While many find it worthwhile to pay for the convenience and ease of use offered by a for-purchase program, there are a few popular free alternatives that may do the job just as well, such as Macrium Reflect Free, ShadowCopy, Clonezilla, and EaseUS Todo Backup Free.

Destination Drive
Cloning a drive, or even saving a backup image, requires having someplace to save your data to. When backing up an entire drive, you'll want to have a drive of equal or larger capacity set aside for backup, and nothing else. You have to real options: A bare hard drive, or an external drive.

A bare drive is exactly like the drive you already have in your laptop or desktop—it's the actual drive, but not yet installed in a machine. Once you've acquired the drive, you can either install it as a second drive or purchase a compatible drive enclosure for it. These drives come in several physical sizes, meant for desktops or laptops, and both spinning hard drives and solid-state drives (SSD) are viable options. For cloning purposes, you'll want a drive with at least as much memory as the data you're cloning (the amount of used memory in the original drive). For example, if you only have 200GB of data stored on a 500GB drive, some cloning tools will let you clone the data to a drive smaller than 500GB, so long as there is space for all 200GB of data. For a drive that can literally be swapped for the one already in your PC, you'll definitely want to get a drive that is the same size and connector type as the original. For a more in depth explanation, check out "How to Buy an Internal Hard Drive".

The other option is to buy an external hard drive. These are self-contained drives, usually connected through a USB connection. External drives may be larger deskbound drives or pocket-sized portables, but they generally all will work as a suitable backup medium, and many will also offer additional features, such as encryption or automated backup software. For a detailed look at desktop and portable drives, check out "How to Buy an External Hard Drive".

Clean Up Your Files 
With both a backup utility and a drive to back up to, you're ready to clone your drive, but this is also a good opportunity to do some digital spring cleaning. There's plenty of data you want to back up, but chances are you also have plenty of stuff saved—drivers for old devices, programs that aren't needed, media files you couldn't care less about—that doesn't need to be duplicated. For a great guide to getting your drive in tip top shape so that you aren't cloning a disorganized mess, check out "Get Organized: Keep or Delete?".

Making the Clone
Once you've got your back up drive, cleaned up the digital detritus, and figured out your backup utility, it's time to start cloning. Connect the destination drive, open up your backup utility, and follow the utility's directions to copy the contents of your hard drive to the backup. Depending on the size of the drive to be cloned, the amount of data stored on the drive, and the speed of both the original and backup drives, this process may take anywhere from several minutes to several hours.

Caring for Clones
Once the drive is completely cloned you're done—for now. What you have is an exact copy of the original at that moment in time. Any future changes in files, programs, or anything else will only be reflected on the original drive. Once you swap it for the clone, it will be like stepping back in time to the day you cloned the drive originally. For more up to date backup, you'll want to schedule time to make a fresh clone at regular intervals—even if it's just an annual copy for World Backup Day (every March 31st).

You also want to keep that cloned drive somewhere safe and accessible. For long term storage you'll want to be especially careful to keep the drive safe from moisture, extremes in temperature, and static electricity or powerful magnets. A safe bet is to slip the drive into an anti-static bag and then store it the same way you would vital documents—in a safe or fire box. If you're less concerned with immediate accessibility, you might also consider storing the drive off-site so that you have a backup to turn to in the event of fire, flood, or similar disaster.

Две източни рецепти с чесън могат да ви върнат младостта

Две източни рецепти с чесън могат да ви върнат младостта

Да се подмладим с чесън

Освен че е едно от най-полезните растения на света, помагащо за десетки болести, че дори и при рак, с чесъна може дори и да се подмладим. Неговите регенериращи и очистващи качества могат да направят чудеса с тялото и външността ни, стига да имате възможността да се подлагате на терапия с него, защото както знаете, чесънът има специфична неприятна миризма.
Много народи по света имат култ към тази култура и го използват както в кухнята, така и в домашната си аптечка за направата на различни отвари, мазила и добавки.

Много източни народи го използват и като подмладяващо средство. От там са и две народни рецепти за подмладяване с чесън. За първата ви е необходимо литър прясно мляко, което слагате да кипне на котлона. След като отстраните от огъня, в млякото се слагат две глави ситно нарязан чесън, след което отново поставяте съда на котлона и отново кипвате сместа. Изключвате котлона, захлупвате капака и останяте течността така около час, сле което тя е готова за употреба. 3-4 пъти на ден се пие по една чаена лъжица от млякото всеки ден. Приема се на гладно 15 минути преди хранене.
За втората рецепта се взимат и изчистват 350 грама чесън, който се смила на пюре. В стъклено шише се налива 200 грама чист спирт от аптеката или силна домашна ракия, към която се прибавя смления чесън. Тази смес трябва да престои на тъмно около 10 дни. Сместа се прецежда и отново се налива в стъклен съд. От нея се пият капки по определена схема, докато течността свърши. Силната настойка се разтваря в малко мляко или вода и се приема 30 минути преди хранене.
Първият ден се пие една капка на закуска, две на обяд и три вечер преи хранене.
С всеки следващ ден капките се увеличават с по една на всеки прием, докато не се стигне до 15 капки. От там нанатък започвате да намалявате с по една капка на всеки прием, докато не стигнете отново до 1 капка. На следващия прием вече се приемат 25 капки за всички останали дни, докато течността свърши. Тази рецепта може да повторите едва след 5 години.
