dreamt encounter with the hairy giant beasts but this trip is more than
that. Gorilla trekking especially in the moist Bwindi forest National
Park is an interactive encounter that gets you closer to the unknown
wilderness where your expectations and hopes are kept high for almost a
whole day knowing what time you will meet the mountain gorillas.<br />
<br />
Bwindi impenetrable National Park being a natural forest with both
montane and lowland forest is surprisingly a meeting joint for humans
and the believed human ancestors the Mountain Gorillas. Not only do you
get to meet the primate kingdom owners but also other subjects like the
olive baboons, vervet monkeys, grey checked mangabey, blue monkeys,
black and white colobus monkeys all living in harmony. This forest also
allows the existence of the bird territory. You can clearly see them
during your gorilla trekking search. In case you were searching for a
particular bird during your birding safari in Uganda, you are likely to
freely achieve your goal from this bio diversity rich forest which was
even recognised by the African Bird Club as the richest African Birding
destination.<br />
<br />
Prior to staging your meeting with the gorillas, you have to book a
gorilla trekking pass which allows you to enter the forest and be part
of the gorillas’ day life. Even if you have a fortune and the 8 gorilla
trekking permits for a particular gorilla family are sold out, you are
not allowed to meet the gorillas. You must have a permit that allows
taking part in gorilla trekking.<br />
<br />
<br />
Even if you have paid for your permit and you develop a contagious
illness you may be refunded in case you report to the Uganda Wildlife
Authority before hand with evidence. There is a definite no meeting for you with the mountain gorillas. A
number of travellers, dream about this great encounter especially those
that have had a chance to watch the movie “gorillas in the mist”. When
this opportunity finally strikes, you may have a mixture of anxiety and
excitement.<br />
<br />
<br />
Gorilla trekking safaris
normally have pre tour advice where by you must be fit to hike the
ridges and get down the valley but also the hand capped can track
gorillas with the assistance of a sedan chair. When you take the normal
hike, you have to get extra support from a walking stick or hire a
porter for assistance in case you cannot carry on.<br />
<br />
Like any one heading for a special meeting, gorilla trekking has
special clothes that you must wear to get comfortable. Long trouser,
garden gloves, a rain coat, long sleeved shirt, sun screen jerry, insect
repellent, energy bite make your trip more interesting. The rules of
gorilla trekking also have to be keenly followed by all trekker because
mountain gorillas just like humans get agitated despite there renown
serene behaviour.<br />
<br />
On meeting the gorilla family, the dominant silverback normally keeps
in the hiding to check out your intensions of visit. Finally when he is
comfortable with your interaction with his jealously guarded family, he
emerges to meet you and displays all acrobatic styles to show his
majesty. In case you show that you are scared, he may notice and
continue teasing you. You must cooperate and take as many photographs as
you can for remembrance without touching any member of his family. Just
one hour is enough in the presence of the gorillas.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16865859615067891477noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093920644094658786.post-41315805082648630322014-03-23T18:46:00.001-07:002014-03-23T18:46:15.106-07:004 Huge Health Benefits of Carrot Juice That You Must Know<div style="text-align: justify;">

life. Despite this basic truth and the obvious need for all to accept
the inevitability of change, people still try all they can to stop or at
least slow down the rate of some changes. One very obvious kind of
change that people try to stop is aging.<br />
<br />
From time, people everywhere have always faced this challenges
associated with aging. These challenges affect people differently. In
women, they have to deal with menopause and its associated symptoms both
psychological and physical ones. What makes it more disturbing is that
some of these changes come with pain, sicknesses and other forms of
discomfort. Menopausal women for example frequently have to deal with
symptoms such as weight gain, irritability, memory lapses (short term),
hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and others. As a result of these
state of affairs, there has been continuous efforts to find ways of
curbing these symptoms.<br />
<br />
To effectively tackle a symptom, the root cause of the problem must be
found and addressed. Therefore, to an address an issue like menopause
which is basically signifies a state of non-productivity of the female's
reproductive system mainly due to aging.<br />
<br />
At this point, it would be proper to state that this is not a medical
journal but an article to guide people to better results. This having
been said, we would go ahead to look at what cause menopause with a view
to understanding how BHRT factors in this matter.<br />
<br />
In a woman, two hormones are basically in charge of issues regarding
the reproductive system. These hormones are estrogen and progesterone.<br />
<br />
To put it simply, menopause is simply a point where these hormones are
no longer produced in the body. Of course, it begins gradually and then
comes to a complete halt. During this process, the female body
experiences discomfort at varying levels. The absence of these hormones
are also thought to pose certain health risks.<br />
<br />
In 1966, Robert A Wilson MD claimed in his book "Feminine Forever" that
menopause was completely preventable. This pieces of information was
obviously met with wide spread excitement from women who saw this as the
end of their menopausal problems. Dr Wilson's claim was that taking
estrogen was the answer to the problem of menopause. The result of this
was obvious. Women all over began receiving estrogen for the treatment
of menopausal symptoms. One important thing we have to point out here is
that the hormonal supplements used were not bioidentical. By this, we
mean that the hormonal supplements did not have the same chemical
structure as hormones that were naturally produced in the body.<br />
<br />
Over a period of time, it was discovered that this treatment increased
the risk of cancer as it triggered the growth of the uterine lining. The
answer that was put forward for this was the addition of progesterone
for the protection of the uterus. The progesterone used was also not
bioidentical.<br />
<br />
It was very easy for a lot of women to get on the band wagon because
women were bringing in positive reports about this treatment. The fact
that women were experiencing relieve from menopausal symptoms made HRT
more acceptable. This however suffered a big blow in 2002 when Women's
Heal Initiative (WHI) came up with the result of a study they had
carried out. In this study, about 16,000 postmenopausal women
participated. The findings were shocking. To summarize a few of the
points, the study found that combining non-bioidentical non-bioidentical
estrogen and progestin increased the risk of breast cancer and heart
attack. It also found that treatment using non-bioidentical estrogen
increased the risk of stroke. Non-bioidentical HRT generally resulted
for a 25% increase in the risk of invasive breast cancer.<br />
<br />
These findings caused a scare and resulted in many women rejecting this treatment.<br />
<br />
One thing that was proven in all this was that Dr Wilson's theory was
not wrong. The challenge was therefore how to introduce these hormones
into the body without the level of side effects being recorded. This is
where BHRT came in.<br />
<br />
The idea behind BHRT was to introduce supplemental hormones that had
the same chemical structure as hormones produced naturally in the body.
The thinking was that they would be more acceptable to the body since
they have the same chemical structure as the ones the body was used to
processing. The introduction of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
has long since shown that it is a more viable treatment for hormonal
imbalance. The risks are highly reduced.<br />
<br />Medical science is has improved greatly and is still improving.
Problems associated with hormonal imbalance can now be treated with
BHRT. Before starting this treatment, it is important to consult a
qualified BHRT physician.
Your BHRT practitioner would guide you through the process, from the
testing to the administration. Overcome your issues with hormonal
imbalance or menopausal symptoms with BHRT.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16865859615067891477noreply@blogger.com0
