Livigno, Italy: A Poor To Prosperous Ski Resort By : Roberto Bell
Bargain hunters looking for great deals and greater skiing will love Livigno, Italy. You see, Livigno is not a tax haven but a tax free zone. This means that residents pay an income tax to the government. This also means, however, that visitors and residents pay no tax for products-like duty free-bought here. Tax free booze, tax free cigarettes, tax free beauty products, tax free electronics and, especially, tax free gas never sounded so good in a continuing difficult global economy.

This article will go over a few things that you can take to help with sleep.
About ten percent of the population are constantly getting too little sleep. Sleep deprivation is more common with women than men. Most people need between six and nine hours of sleep per day and on average adults sleep eight and a half hour if they are allowed to sleep as much as their body needs. Sleep is very important, for body, mind and our general well-being. Long term sleep problems often contribute to a lowered quality of life.
If you suspect you have a sleep disorder, a sleep specialist can confirm if your suspicions are correct – and make a careful and detailed medical evaluation to find the source of your sleep problem.
Insomnia is usually the most common sleep disorder and it means you have a hard time going to sleep or that you have a hard time staying asleep. Usually, you will know if you are experiencing insomnia because you will remember tossing and turning or being awake at night.
Insomnia can be caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression, or other mental conditions and sometimes occurs for no apparent reason. An overactive mind or physical pain may also be causes. Finding the underlying cause of insomnia is usually necessary to cure it.
Medication that can be taken for insomnia are both prescriptions and over the counter.
Benzodiazepines - The most commonly-used class of drugs prescribed for insomnia. Includes drugs such as temazepam, diazepam, lorazepam, and midazolam.
Non-benzodiazepine prescription drugs -Includes drugs such as Ambien and Lunesta. These drugs have a cleaner side effect profile than benzodiazepines but do appear to cause psychological dependence and physical dependence.
Melatonin - A hormone that has proved effective for some insomniacs in regulating the sleep/waking cycle.
Over-the-counter sleep aids - Many of these sleep aids use the antihistamine diphen¬hydramine. The effectiveness of these aids often decreases over time and next-day sedation is common.
There are several herbs that are known to be beneficial for people having sleeping problems. One common herbal sleep aid is Valerian which has been recognized for years in Europe as being helpful with insomnia. It is sold in the United States as a dietary supplement. There is no agreement on how this sleep aid works, but studies have shown that it does help with insomnia, as well as stress, and often as an aid in helping people who are trying to discontinue the use of benzodiazepines (a class of prescription medications for anxiety and panic attacks). There are side effects that have been reported, so before taking this herbal aid, a person should discuss taking Valerian with a pharmacist, especially if they are taking any prescription medications. The root is the part that is used in herbal sleep aids, and side effects of headaches and night terror, have been reported. The oil of this root is reported to have the odor of cat urine, so the most popular way to take Valerian is as a pill, rather than a tea made from the liquid.
Sleeping pills or aids should never be taken before speaking with your doctor about your sleeping problems.

A warning about the indiscriminate prescribing of antibiotics to pregnant women to delay premature labour was issued to all doctors yesterday after research unexpectedly revealed that the practice may cause long-term harm to their babies.
The Governments chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, wrote to GPs, obstetricians and other medical staff following publication of the first study of the subject. The findings show an increased risk of cerebral palsy in the children of one group of women. There was also a small increase in problems such as poor eyesight or hearing. The results add to the growing evidence that what happens in the womb has a huge impact on the baby not only at birth but for decades beyond.
Sir Liam said in the letter that antibiotics should continue to be given to women in premature labour where there was evidence of infection, or risk of it because their waters had broken.

Every week we highlight the voices of real people that contact our Helpline every day. Once a week you will be introduced to a family whose life has changed for the better due to health reform. If you or anyone you know needs assistance applying for free or low-cost health care coverage, please contact our Helpline online, or call 1-800-272-4232. Here’s this week’s story:
Everything in Gina’s life (not her real name) was going well until her husband recently lost his job and their health insurance. Desperate and going through a high-risk pregnancy because of her diabetes, Gina was stuck in a very rough spot. The only thing she could think of was that she really had to be able to continue her prenatal treatment with her doctor that helped her to keep her diabetes in check. She couldn’t be without access to health insurance, but she had no idea what options she had for health insurance that she could afford.
It was during this time that Gina called the Helpline and got to know about the affordable health insurance options available to her family. Three weeks later, Gina was determined eligible for MassHealth for pregnant women and her husband was determined to be eligible for Commonwealth Care. This meant that Gina could continue to have her prenatal treatment and her husband could have physical therapy for a knee injury – all covered by the state’s health insurance coverage.
Gina and her husband breathed a sigh of relief when their baby was born perfectly healthy. Once again, everything was going well until one day when the baby had an emergency and the crucial importance of having access to health insurance came up again. One day when the baby was at the baby sitter, she almost suffocated. If it wasn’t for a parent who knew how to perform CPR, her baby would have passed away. The baby was rushed to the hospital and stayed inpatient for a week. Gina doesn’t even want to imagine how many hospital bills her family would have if it wasn’t for their health insurance coverage offered to them through the state’s plans.
Gina says that she is not very good with words, but she wanted to let us know about the appreciation she has for the state health insurance options, as well as HCFA:
“I honestly wouldn’t know what to do if it wasn’t for MassHealth, Commonwealth Care, and Health Care for All. If I wouldn’t have health insurance, I certainly would have brought my baby to an emergency room, but I wouldn’t know what would be the cause and effect of it without having access to health insurance. The Helpline was just great and the best help on the perfect time.
