			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>An alternative remedy for combating depression can be the natural Ayurveda. One of its highly potent <strong>supplements for depression</strong> is DeprsnCare which has specifically been unified to relax the mind naturally and bring it to a comfortable state. DeprsnCare helps in reducing depression and related phenomena such as anxiety, insomnia, and feelings of loss, anger, sadness or frustration in everyday life. Recommended as a natural medium for long term treatment combined with exercise and a diet of fruits, juices and vegetables, this <strong>depression supplement</strong> restores emotional vitality to life; and hence, it is an all-natural way to deal holistically with all depression related troubles.</p>
<p>A statistical data shows that 1 out of every 4 Britons suffer from a mental health problem, most commonly, a combination of depression and anxiety, at any given point of time during the year. Although depression can victimize people of all gender and age-groups, but women experience depression about twice as often as men. According to a report by WHO, depression will be the second largest killer after heart disease by 2020. Rather, depression in itself is a contributory factor to fatal coronary disease. It has also been found that nearly 15 % of the overall population in the developed countries suffers from severe depression and two-thirds of them do not seek the necessary treatment. But beneath this vile scenario, statistics also show a ray of hope that nearly 80 % of all people suffering from clinical depression can significantly improve their lives after receiving proper treatment.</p>
<p>Depression has often been defined as a feeling of emptiness accompanied with hopelessness, inadequacy or negative sensitivity towards the things happening around. Though stress is a common phenomenon in all human beings, but when emotions such as anxiety, worrying, panic etc get continued over elongated phases, these can resultantly disrupt the normal lifestyle of people. Depression disorders are characterised by some of the most prevalent symptoms such as lack of interest in activities, difficulty in concentration, changes in weight, sleeplessness, and feelings of worthlessness and guilt. In some cases, depression can be traced to a single cause; while in others, while in others, a number of causes may be at play to inflict depression. Biological, genetic as well as environmental factors can together contribute to aggravate the state of depression. A considerable effort is required on the part of the patients in order to fight against depression as nothing can work better than a ‘strong will’ in combating this evil.</p>
<p>Besides taking a medical treatment, regular exercises and proper diet are essential for keeping depression under control. It is important to develop and maintain a positive outlook and avoiding isolation as far as possible. It is also advised to avoid alcohol and the use of illicit substances. Though there are heavy dosage anti-depressant pills available in the market for the short-term treatment of depression but these medications are accompanied by severe side-effects; which makes Ayurveda the optimum choice for treating depression and related problems. Ayurveda, with its wide range of natural <strong>depression supplements</strong>, naturally helps lessen depression without any unpleasant side-effects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Arthritis is a common joint disorder that may actually restrict your body movements especially those of your joints which may leave you feeling handicapped. You may find it dreadful to move out of your bed in the morning or even bending down to pick up your morning newspaper may seem to be a challenging task. Arthritis, causing inflammation of bones, can make you feel helpless and frustrated as making simple bodily movements may appear to be devastating.</p>
<p>The most common symptoms of arthritis are stiffness of bones, limited function of joints and inflammation of joints which is usually characterized by swelling and redness of the affected area. Arthritis, being a rheumatic disease, can also have effects on other parts of the body that do not directly involve the joints. So in certain cases, symptoms of Arthritis can also include fever, weight loss, swelling of glands and fatigue. Some may also feel the abnormalities of organs such as those of lungs, heart or kidneys.</p>
<p>There is a vast range of the types of this joint disorder. So the exact cause of this disease depends upon its specific classification. Different types of arthritis cause different individual illnesses, with differing features, treatments, complications and prognoses. But some of the common causes of arthritis include tearing of ligaments, wearing away of cartilages, lack of fluid in the joint bones, some kind of infection and many more. It may also occur due to some injury, abnormal metabolism, inheritance and an over-reactive immune system.</p>
<p>Treatment programs for arthritis can incorporate prescription and non-prescription medications, joint injections and surgical operations. Besides, there are numerous home-remedies available for the treatment of this disorder. Taking proper rest is advisable in order to give the joints some relief from pain. Heat/cold applications and topical pain creams can also be helpful in relieving the joint pain. Warm bath is considered to be highly beneficial for the relaxation of the stiffed muscles. Eating fruits like bananas and papaya seed tea several times a day are also quite effective. Besides these, herbs like garlic, turmeric, ashwagandha, menthol and camphor are highly recommended for relieving the joint pain.</p>
<p>Ayurveda, too, with its age-old natural combinations of medicinal herbs can prove to be a great solution for the treatment of arthritis. One of its highly potent <strong>natural arthritis supplements</strong> is RumoCare which helps in stimulating the digestive fire and digesting the toxins. It also helps in revitalizing your daily energy levels. This <strong>herbal supplement</strong> eliminates impurities from the cervices of the joints and reduces the inflammation. RumoCare helps in cleansing the entire physiology and hence, can be used as a long term remedy with no side effects.</p>
<p>Enjoy the freedom of pain-free bodily movements by combating all the joint-related problems through Ayurveda’s naturally effective range of <strong>herbal supplements</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Have you ever felt a dull, breath-taking pain in your lower back or pelvis region? Or have you ever spotted some traces of blood in your urine? Well! Both of these might be the first indication of something serious developing in your body. It might be the beginning of a severe health complication of developing a kidney stone attack.</p>
<p>Kidney stones are one of the most painful urologic disorders that have troubled humans for centuries. The existence of kidney stones has been identified by the practitioners of traditional medicine and has been mentioned in some of the most ancient books in the history of Indian herbal medicine. Infact, these are the most common disorders found in the urinary tract which is evident from the fact that people, throughout the world, make almost 3 million visits to the health-care providers every year for their kidney stone problems.</p>
<p>A kidney stone is basically a hard mass which contains various combinations of chemicals. This small can partially or completely block the passage of urine, causing a severe kind of pain. It is not much difficult to detect the presence of kidney stones as in most of the cases, these reflect acute symptoms.</p>
<p>The presence of Kidney stones is characterized by a sudden excruciating pain felt in the lower part of the abdomen or lower back or in the groin. Constant irritation of the kidney tissue can cause bleeding while urinating. Many patients may experience a general sense of disorientation and fatigue and sharp pain in abdomen can give rise to nausea and vomiting. A patient may also experience either frequent urination or complete stoppage of urination as a symptom of the kidney stones. Other common symptoms of kidney stones include general flu symptoms such as fever, chills, diarrhea, and constipation or generalized body ache.</p>
<p>Although this health disorder can affect both men and women equally but studies have shown that it is more common among the men. The exact cause of kidney stones is difficult to be determined because it may differ from person to person. There are certain kinds of food that may promote the formation of kidney stones in people. Hereditary factors are also a major cause of kidney stones in people. It has been found that a person with a family history of kidney stones is more likely to develop this health complication. There are also some inherited metabolic disorders that can often cause kidney stones. Other possible causes of kidney stones include excessive intake of Vitamin D, urinary tract infections, heavy usage of water pills and calcium based antacids.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the good part of the treatment of kidney stones is that it may not necessarily require a surgery as most stones can be passed through the urinary system by following some remedial measures at home. Adopting a simple and healthy lifestyle is the foremost step towards the treatment of kidney stones. Maximizing the intake of liquids, particularly water, is highly recommended to the kidney stone patients. Kidney stones can also be dissolved by the citric acids, so adding fresh lemon juice to your water can be quite helpful. Cranberries and vegetable juices such as those of orange and carrot can also reduce the formation of chemicals responsible for kidney stones.</p>
<p>Ayurveda, too, with its vast range of <strong>herbal supplements</strong>, has proved to be one of the most effective solutions for the treatment of the kidney stones since centuries. One of its highly potent health supplements is RenalCare which is a unique blend of herbs, effective in sustaining the natural passage of the urinary tract. This <strong>health supplement</strong> lessens the inner inflammation of the urinal passages and equalizes the acid and alkaline levels in the body.  It also helps in reducing the burning sensation and aggravated pain felt due to the presence of kidney stones.</p>
<p>Experience freedom from all kinds of health hazards with the help of Ayurveda’a naturally trusted range of <strong>herbal supplements</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Almost all of us have heard about the devastating health hazards caused by smoking. It has often been associated with breathing problems and lung cancer. But how many of you know that smoking is also closely associated with hypertension or the high blood pressure? Reports have shown that smoke-related diseases cause around 4 million deaths every year across the globe. And if the trend continues, smoking is expected to kill one in every six people by 2030.</p>
<p>High blood pressure is a severe health complication which is called the ‘silent killer’ as it usually strikes without showing any prior symptoms. It can damage your body in many ways and can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, kidney failures, strokes and other health problems. Besides other factors, tobacco smoking has been found to be one of the major causes of high blood pressure.</p>
<p>A person’s risk of developing High Blood Pressure increases with the number of cigarettes he or she smokes. When tobacco is smoked, chewed or taken in by many other means, the nicotine present in tobacco raises the blood pressure. Problems associated with smoking and high blood pressure can also have negative impact on the brain. It may lead to increased risks of brain attacks. Also, the smoke from the cigarettes accelerates the risks of arterial and cardiovascular diseases which can cause another problematic effect on the blood pressure.</p>
<p>Smoking can cause a rise in blood pressure in a number of ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nicotine and other poisonous chemicals present in the tobacco can weaken and narrow down the blood vessels, thereby constricting the blood flow. So the heart has to use more pressure in order to pump the blood, which leads to a rise in the blood pressure. This constant strain on heart can result in strokes and even paralysis.</li>
<li>Nicotine present in tobacco decreases the supply of oxygen in the body. This deficit of oxygen puts pressure on the heart and hence, raises the blood pressure.</li>
<li>Smoking also leads to plaque build-up in the blood vessels, resulting in the inflammation of the blood vessels. And this combination of build-up plaque and inflammation can result in an increase in the blood pressure.</li>
</ul>
<p>So quitting smoking can be really helpful for keeping your blood pressure under control and reducing the risks of other associated diseases such as heart diseases, ulcers, gum diseases, and various kinds of cancer.</p>
<p>Ayurveda, too, can play a significant role in the treatment of the high blood pressure. It offers a vast range of natural <strong>blood pressure supplements </strong>which contain high ratio extracts of aromatic plants and herbs. One of its highly effective <strong>herbal supplements</strong> is PressureCare which is a combination of antihypertensive herbs that aid a healthy heart and lower the effect of nervous tension. It also helps in reducing the blood stickiness or thickness and improving the blood flow through the arteries and veins. This <strong>health supplement</strong> assists in maintaining a safe and balanced level of blood pressure in the body.</p>
<p>Feel healthier and prolong your life by keeping a check on your blood pressure through Ayurveda’s highly beneficial range of <strong>blood pressure supplements</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Skin allergies are one of the most incapacitating problems experienced by people all over the world. Numerous skin problems ranging from rashes, hives, blisters, eczema and various fungal infections are some of the most prevalent forms of skin allergies. All these skin allergies are usually characterized by redness, swelling of the affected area, burning sensation, itching and inflammation of the skin.</p>
<p>A skin allergy mainly occurs when the skin comes in contact with an allergy-causing substance towards which our skin is hypersensitive. These allergens may be related to food, chemicals, water or air. There are certain foods, food chemicals such as salicylates, amines and various food addictives that can cause irritation and inflammation of the skin. Metals such as nickel, cobalt and gold are also among the most common allergens causing skin problems. Specific plants, insect bites &amp; stings and other air-borne allergens such as dust-mite, pollen, molds and animal dander can also trigger the occurrence of several skin allergies. Besides, change in temperature, excessive usage of drugs and exposure to dust, smoke and soap products like detergents can also aggravate the skin allergies.</p>
<p>Some of the most frequently occurring skin allergies include:</p>
<p><strong>Dermatitis</strong>- which usually refers to inflammation or facial rash in the area around the mouth.</p>
<p><strong>Eczema</strong>- which is the most common in early childhood and is characterized by itching and red rashes</p>
<p><strong>Urticaria</strong>- popularly known as hives, which is a type of rash consisting of circular, raised welts on the skin that are itchy.</p>
<p><strong>Fungal infections</strong>- which include allergies caused by various ringworm and yeast infections.</p>
<p><strong>Rashes</strong>- which characterize red, itchy bumps or scaly patches on the skin produced by bacterial infections.</p>
<p><strong>Other skin allergies-</strong> including blisters, skin cysts, scars, warts, hyperpigmentation, vitiligo and so on.</p>
<p>Many people with chronic skin allergies struggle to find relief, but taking some simple preventive and remedial measures at home can greatly help to soothe your skin. To begin with, a healthy diet, rich in all essential nutrients and vitamins, especially the intake of Vitamin C is necessary to avoid frequently occurring skin allergies. Applying a paste of sandalwood and limejuice can provide significant relief from itching. Lemon juice mixed with coconut oil is also a great natural remedy for skin allergies. Papaya seeds, almond leaves and cider vinegar are also good natural remedies for treating skin allergies. At the same time, excessive smoking, heavy consumption of alcohol and use of cosmetics should be avoided.</p>
<p>Ayurveda, the traditional science of alternative medicine, can also prove to be highly beneficial for treating skin allergies. Through its vast range of natural <strong>herbal supplements</strong>, Ayurveda can provide relief from all kinds of allergies including food allergy, chemical allergy, skin allergy, drug allergy, eye and nasal allergies and so on. One of its highly potent products is AlgrCare which offers a strong defense against all the possible allergens by building a healthy immune system. This <strong>herbal supplement</strong> has a holistic influence on balancing and nourishing the entire physiology. It also plays a vital role in eliminating the body toxins and improving the body’s natural healing ability.</p>
<p>Enliven your skin naturally by getting rid of various debilitating skin allergies through Ayurveda’s highly potent range of <strong>herbal supplements</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Childhood obesity represents one of the greatest health challenges as it has become an endemic in many parts of the world. It is now among the most pervasive medical troubles affecting children and adolescents, especially in the developed countries. This is evident from the fact that around 27% of children are overweight in the UK alone and the research has suggested that the major factor behind this increasing database is the reduction in the amount of their physical exercise.</p>
<p>Obesity in children can directly be associated with the advancements in the modern lifestyles. With the introduction of new gadgets, video gaming, computers and internet, children are getting more hooked to these which have led to the invariable diminution of the physical activities of the children. The popularity of television among children these days is another major factor which does not only lead to physical inactivity but also encourages snacking. Adding to this is the change in eating habits of the children now days. Children prefer to eat unhealthy and junky food items which further trigger the risk of being overweight. Such foods tend to be high in fats or calories and low in all essential nutrients. Obesity in children is also a matter of family lifestyles. Many studies have shown that obesity runs in families. A child with obese parents and siblings is more likely to become overweight. Sometimes, changes in hormones and chemical imbalances can also lead to excessive gain of weight especially in adolescents.</p>
<p>Children who are obese are at a higher risk of developing numerous health problems. Obesity can profoundly affect not only the present of the children but also their future as they are more likely to be obese adults with increased risks of heart diseases, strokes and other major health hazards. Apart from the health problems, obesity in children can also create emotional and social problems.</p>
<p>The core programs for weight control can be physical activity and diet management. A moderate physical activity for children everyday for at least an hour is very crucial for keeping their weight under control. Activities like cycling, swimming, skating and running games can be interesting and exciting for the children while being beneficial at the same time. At the same time generating awareness among children about healthy dietary habits and nutritional values of foods should also be an important part of the obesity control programs for children.</p>
<p>Ayurveda, too, can prove to be a highly beneficial solution for the treatment of weight loss among children. Ayurveda’s dietary <strong>herbal supplements</strong> are made of 100% natural herbs and hence, cause no side-effects, which make these the most potent and appropriate remedy especially for the children. One of its products DietCare is a unique blend of herbs that are vastly suggested for losing weight.  It helps in balancing the metabolism and increasing the digestive fire that breaks down the food in the body. This <strong>health supplement</strong> also suppresses the excessive appetite thus reducing weight and curbing excessive food cravings.</p>
<p>Secure your child’s future by inducing healthy life routines. And turn to Ayurveda’s natural <strong>herbal supplements</strong> for all your health-related problems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Iron deficiency, affecting over 2 billion people worldwide, is the only nutrient deficiency which is significantly present in both the developing as well as the developed nations. The widespread manifestation of this health peril has been raising concerns over the availability of a reliable remedy for the permanent or long-term treatment of this highly damaging health risk. One such time-tested remedy for iron deficiency introduced by the Ayurveda is AnemiCare which is a distinctive blend of <strong>herbal supplements</strong>, known for replenishing Iron, Calcium and Vitamin C deficiencies.  This <strong>health supplement</strong> supplies the blood with all essential nutrients and hence ascertains optimum levels of strength and vigour.</p>
<p>Iron is an essential mineral and a vital component of the human body. Being the primary element of haemoglobin, iron acts as the carrier of oxygen in the blood. It also plays a highly beneficial role in maintaining a positive immune activity, metabolic processes and in the proper functioning of the liver. Hence, the deficiency of this crucial element in the body can lead to the improper functioning of the human body.</p>
<p>Deficiency of iron basically occurs either due to poor absorption of iron in the body or due to inadequate intake of iron-rich foods. Heavy loss of blood through internal or external bleeding in the form of bleeding ulcers, sever injuries, urinary tract bleeding and heavy menstrual flow in case of women can also lead to iron-deficiency in many cases. Usually infants, young children and women are more prone to this health hazard.</p>
<p>The signs and symptoms of the deficiency of iron depend upon the severity of the condition. People suffering from iron deficiency may experience fatigue, shortness of breath, lethargy, dizziness, paleness of skin and chest pain. Iron-deficient people usually have brittle nails, cracks in the sides of the mouth and unusual cravings for the non-food items such as ice, dirt, paint or starch.</p>
<p>Keeping in view the possible health hazards caused by the lack of iron, the condition of iron deficiency should be treated with immense sincerity. Taking some simple preventive measures at home like consumption of iron-rich foods and daily dosage of multivitamins can help in combating iron-deficiency to a large extent. At the same time, exposure to toxic substances and excessive intake of alcohol and smoking should be avoided.</p>
<p>But besides all other treatments, the natural remedies offered by the age-old science of Ayurveda, certainly hold the most effective solutions for treating the iron-deficiency. So enhance your stamina and vitality with the great <strong>herbal supplements</strong> provided by Ayurveda.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Ayurveda and modern medicine have rigorously worked side-by-side to help control the widespread occurrences of Alzheimer and other memory loss related diseases. AlzCare is a blend of five rejuvenating Ayurvedic herbs which includes Terminalia Arjuna, a potent plant with excellent cardio protective and cardio tonic botanical properties. It is highly effective in treating Alzheimer disease and chronic dementia.</p>
<p>Memory loss is also commonly known as Amnesia and the degree of forgetfulness and the inability to recall past events may vary from one individual to another. There can be nothing more frustrating and devastating than the inability to recall past events, people’s names and important appointments. Of course, gradual memory loss follows as one age and retires from the prime activities of life but if you are abnormally losing your memory then you may want to seek medical help. The shocking truth is that 35 million people worldwide are affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other related form of dementias and the number is rapidly increasing.</p>

Of which Alzheimer disease is one of the worst of them all and is responsible for the emotional and mental breakdown of many families, communities and nations.</p>
<p>Some of the best natural <strong>dietary supplements </strong>for memory loss include—blueberries, spinach, onions, broccoli, red beets, grapes, egg plants, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and plums. When it comes to<strong> vitamin supplement</strong> in our daily diet vitamin B1 is considered best as it improves the mental function for Alzheimer’s patients. Vitamin A supplements help brain functions including memory and checks the optimum cognitive functions of the body. Loosening the stressful lifestyle with yoga, meditation, exercises and physical activities is a good approach in overcoming the possibility of getting memory-related problems. Holy basil leaves are excellent <strong>herbal supplements </strong>that provide benefits in the treatment of amnesia.  In addition, Ginkgo biloba tincture shows great results in the treatment of Alzheimer’s and chronic dementia. Involving mental exercises like word puzzles, reading and writing in day-to-day activities regulates the brain function and tone the memory.</p>
<p><strong>Herbal supplement</strong>, AlzCare, contains no chemically generated compounds, fillers or artificial additives—it is an all natural product. Alternative doctors and health specialists recommend 3 months of consecutive intake of AlzCare to experience effectiveness in strengthening the immune system and keeping the brain cells well-nourished while increasing the oxygenated blood flow into the depleted tissues at the same time.</p>
<p>Tone your family’s health through Ayurveda!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Fatigue, lack of energy, dizziness and paleness are symptoms typically associated with the shortage of iron in the body. On top of that, it is true that deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the body may lead to a plethora of diseases and health problems.  Iron deficiency in the body leads to Anemia in which the number of red blood cells in the body is lower than normal. The redness of the blood is attributed to the presence of iron and that is why, it is an indispensable mineral that plays a crucial role in the overall metabolic processes. Considering the fact that anemia is known to unleash havocs in the lives of many people across the globe, AnemiCare—an Ayurvedic <strong>health supplement </strong>is known to replenish Iron, Calcium and Vitamin C deficiency in the human body, it also offers relief from the bouts of anemic symtoms.</p>
<p>The occurrence of anemia in women and old people is higher compared to men; this is especially true owing to the gender specific physiological metabolism. Apart from that, the generic causes for iron-deficiency anemia may include</p>
<ul>
<li>Blood loss due to severe injury or infliction of wounds.</li>
<li>Lack of iron in daily diets.</li>
<li>Inability to absorb iron in the diet.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>High risk groups:</strong></p>
<p>Like it has been mentioned earlier, the chance of developing anemia in the body is higher among women within fertility period. Statistically speaking, one out of every five women of child-bearing age has iron-deficiency anemia.  In addition, the requirement for iron in the diet simply doubles for pregnant women because the fetus that is rapidly growing inside the womb of the expecting mother gets some quota of the iron consumed through her. After the child is born and when the mother enters into the lactation period, the demand for iron-rich food or diet supplements increases. If these infant and toddlers within the age group of 6-24 months are weaned from correct absorption in the body, the chance of developing anemia spirals up. Furthermore, adults who suffer from intestinal tract bleeding due to diseases like bleeding ulcer or colon cancer are naturally prone to anemia. Last but not the least patients on kidney dialysis, vegetarians and others with poor iron diet are especially known to develop anemic health conditions.</p>
<p>Today, more and more number of people has to come to realize the importance of <strong>herbal supplements </strong>in their day-to-day lives. Mankind has relied on potent herbs and other medicinal plants for over thousands and the traditional age-old practices are still revived as alternative care— of which, Ayurveda is one of the most effective natural therapies. Including naturally found iron rich <strong>dietary supplements </strong>such as liver, meats, beans, nuts, dried fruits, whole grains, fish, poultry, and green leafy vegetables and enriched vegetables in normal food habits could bring immense improvement in the overall well-being. That is not all, ensuring that the body is getting required amount of <strong>vitamin supplements </strong>is very important especially for women and people prone to anemia.</p>

<p>A recent article on Los Angeles Times grab my attention <em><a href="http://www.latimes.com/health/fl-nbcol-teen-plastic-surgery-brochu-20110313,0,392200.column" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.latimes.com/health/fl-nbcol-teen-plastic-surgery-brochu-20110313_0_392200.column?referer=');">More teens seek plastic surgery</a></em>, how teenagers are going for plastic surgery at the age of 13-19. According to the article:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Many teens, especially girls overly influenced by beauty&#8217;s bony depiction in airbrushed fashion photos, define their self-worth, and others&#8217;, in physical terms. Add the inherently awkward stage of adolescence, and the need for peer approval, and the stage is set for time-honored struggles with self-image.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>This is a big concern of our society where parents have to play a major role. Do you really think your children should go for plastic surgery just to look good or impress someone? Do they really need nose jobs, <a href="http://www.lotusmedicalinternational.com/breast-augmentation.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.lotusmedicalinternational.com/breast-augmentation.html?referer=');">breast augmentation</a> at this age?</p>
<p>Teenagers obviously have several reasons to go for such plastic surgery but it is parent’s responsibility to look after their child so they will not regret in future.</p>
