3. asiawriters.com/

This is a very authentic site that pays really good amount of money to its writers, ranging from USD20 per page to USD50 per page, depending on the type of work. 

But, don't get into it unless you are a very good writer and have mastered the art of content writing. When you apply, you have to go through a test of grammar/punctuation in first step.

How To Prevent Common Cold

Medical science is something that constantly changes and moves towards direction of development. New inventions and discoveries indicate departures with the help of treatments of old age style.

New inquiries made for “traditional” medicine sometimes reveals substances that were known previously as preventive, curative and quick healing properties. When a subject like vitamins is dealt, various choices can be found that compete with your mind, ears and wallet.

More than a billion dollars is spent by Americans for over-the-counter operations, mineral supplements, vitamins, and various other natural products for healing purpose.

Some of these show positive effects, most of these are completely harmless but some can cause severe damage to the body. If you take large doses of wrong vitamins then this step can lead to severe consequences.

While taking your recommended dosage of vitamins and minerals always take care for consuming the correct medicine and never think of “getting creative” without searching for authoritative counsel from your doctor.

Prevention and Treatment of Cold

The vitamin that most often comes in mind and is mentioned as best treatment medicine for common cold (coryza virus) is the Vitamin C. Two times Nobel Prize winner in chemistry and peace Linus Pauling, was an advocate for lifelong and recommends its megadoses mostly for everyone.

Although, he wasn’t able to present conclusively that a common cold can be prevented through a dose of Vitamin C.

Various other researchers considered this process of prevention too narrow, and made it a less focus study subject and focused on various other broader studies.

However, until this time, no credible evidence was found for proving that cold can be easily prevented and cured through vitamin C, it was shown for shortening the duration of cold virus in human beings.

More importantly, researchers tried vitamins and minerals, general condition for health having a tendency for casting out colds, suffering through minor symptoms and recovering quickly.

Staying Abreast in the Research

Research is conducted and scored in worldwide laboratories relating to the positive effects of vitamin C and other minerals and vitamins. “State of art” continuously keeps making changes throughout this area, you just need to invest a small portion of your time and shall stay abreast of latest findings.

Various companies that sell vitamins and other related supplements shall prove responsible enough for referring its customers for getting the best available information.

Mostly, the “mainstream” medical and websites like WebMD, a nice selection of articles is available at Healthline and EverydayHealth on this subject matter.

Although, even some “alternative and complementary medicine” (CAM) locations and sites can prove to be of great help in your research of vitamin, until they maintained scientific standards that are based on evidence and reference literature that is peer reviewed.

This time also it turns to be a balancing matter, so don’t sign for some anti-AMA (American Medical Association) site having expectations based on facts. 

You shall not limit your reading for only one AMA-approved website. Work on principles and stay informed, convince your mind considering the evidence.

A few Folic acids and B vitamins, and also herbs, have been reasoned as preventatives for common cold. A large number of people believe in honey, citrus fruits, Echinacea and various other items, too.

Of course, anecdotes – beliefs regarding cure and substances of healing – don’t constitute “science” and various other variables during work in settings that are uncontrolled. 

A fact is also known that normally a person recovers from cold in about a week, without any treatment, anything consumed by them can act as a cure during the time as it seems to be effective.

A few articles can be found suggesting that Vitamin C isn’t claimed responsible for fighting common cold, but various numbers and figures can be found insisting that moderation of cold can be helped and after a day or sooner can be ended. 

Tales of “old wives” regarding lemon can be seen getting a specific scientific backup now, as reports show that rind is comprised of a specific category natural compound having viral treatment properties.

However, best available evidence suggests maintenance of overall good health can easily result in a healthy immune system that can easily fight and ward off some common ailments.

After keeping immune system in good order of working, you will help your body for fending off worst symptoms of a flu or cold. 

This can bring our aim to full-circle, since consumption of your recommended RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of proteins, minerals, vitamins etc is one best part.

Pretty much, you can say as was taught by your mom. Get enough exercise, maintain a personal hygiene, eat wisely, and reduce exposure for avoiding contagious diseases. 

Always see your doctor for annual checkup and consume your vitamins regularly!

The Day of The Jackal

Being a voracious reader, I have read tens of thousands of books in my life so far. As true reader, I have read more than I can remember and remember more than I have read. Till date, hundreds of books have been my favorites, and it is really difficult to name any one book as my all time favorite.

However, if am coerced to select one book as my favorite, I would certainly choose The Day of a Jackal by Frederick Forsyth.

What a book it was, or rather is! A book that satisfied all my senses thoroughly and still left the hunger lingering. Forsyth became my favorite author since then, and I, his loyal all time fan. Frederick has his own unique style of storytelling combined with facts and myths.

The amount of research he puts into his work is tremendous and requires a great deal of passion.

The book revolves around a plot to assassinate French president Charles D’ Gaulle by some of his former lieutenants disenchanted by his policies.

The group of men then selects a professional killer, code named as the Jackal, to carry out the assassination. The story starts building from this point.

The Jackal begins his preparations after negotiating the deal as per his conditions and satisfaction.

Jackal preferred anonymity during the whole operation and considered this as his major weapon. It really thrilled me to read about his preparations, and everything seemed logical. His robbing of passports from tourists, for the anonymous journey to France, was ecstatic.

Procuring of the killer weapon and getting it upgraded according to his needs was phenomenal. He knew exactly what he required to successfully carry out the killing.

The plan was made after non-stop smoking and thinking on the bed of his studio apartment.

The book has shades of romance as well, though it was according to the situations that presented themselves unannounced.

The Jackal’s adventurous journey to France was full of enough excitement to cause goose bumps.

His entry into France and a series of recce for a perfect location suitable for killing the French president seemed magical to me. The man had guts after all.

At some points, I felt that Frederick knew everything about various assassination attempts that were made on Charles D’ Gaulle in real life.

I was truly intrigued by author’s research on the subject. His character knew on what occasion the president would make a public appearance at all costs no matter what.

I sometimes think as if some divine power helped Forsyth to complete the book. And, I have reasons for my thinking. The book is so complete, without any factual or fictional faults, that it raises questions.

Forsyth’s habit of going into the minutest detail of things and characters fascinated me the most.

He knows about the weapons, world leaders, and wars since he was a mercenary soldier himself, before turning up into a journalist. He utilizes the knowledge gathered from the field in his books.

A Hollywood movie starring Bruce Willis was also made on this book, but failed to do justice with it.
