The big question now being asked by investors, institutions, uranium speculators, fuel brokers, uranium miners, industry consultants and utilities is: ‘How high will the price of uranium reach during 2007?’ Growth in the uranium sector continues to depend upon ever more convincing confirmatory evidence of global warming, caused by excessive fossil fuel use, in order to accelerate broad public demand for the expansion of nuclear energy as a replacement source for electricity.

In that context, it was a fitting end to 2006 when Associated Press reported the Ayles Ice Shelf had broken away from Ellesmere Island in Canada’s northernmost shore, where polar bears are reportedly drowning from the lack of ice to rest upon. This 41-square mile block was one of six remaining ice shelves in Canada’s Arctic, some 800 miles from the North Pole. To put this into perspective, the ice chunk was larger than New York City’s Manhattan Island – about the size of 11,000 football fields. By next summer, oil and gas drillers may find the ice shelf interrupting their production and explorations; shippers may need to re-route to avoid collisions.

While this news passed by generally unnoticed, a new record January temperature in Manhattan’s Central Park was widely reported. Global warming closer to home, as opposed near the Arctic Circle, obviously carries more weight. Juxtaposed against December’s bizarre near-hurricane-like winds in the Pacific Northwest and three winter blizzards in Denver within three weeks, cynics still dismissing abrupt climate change should wake up and smell the CO2. (Perhaps some should visit downtown Beijing for a ruder awakening on this subject.)

According to a 2002 report in the Christian Science Monitor newspaper, three key countries – China, India and the United States – collectively plan to build more than 800 coal-fired plants by 2012. These would emit an additional 2.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Ironically, the Kyoto Protocol countries had proposed “reducing” CO2 emissions by a mere 450-plus million tons by 2012. Climate change, global warming and political tomfoolery worldwide should strengthen the case for stronger uranium prices at higher sustainable prices.

Will 2006 be remembered as uranium’s watershed year? If for no other reason, the past year should be marked as the transformation period for uranium mining projects. Those exploration and development uranium companies, which had uneconomic sub-$40 and $50/pound projects, became very economic when uranium began trading north of $60/pound. After spot uranium broke through $70/pound in mid December, and long-term uranium reached $69/pound, those once-questionable uranium miners took on shades of becoming potential cash cows within this decade.

The Year of the Uranium ‘Auction’

“The year 2006 was undeniably the most extraordinary in the history of the uranium market,” wrote TradeTech Chief Executive Gene Clark in the December 31st issue of Nuclear Market Review. “Although there is no open exchange for uranium (in contrast to most other commodities), a new market mechanism evolved with the secondary benefit of providing such transparency: the (so-called) uranium auction.”

The loss of hair is caused by a variety of reasons. While it is true that hair loss is part of the natural process of the growth and development of the scalp area, as well as the cells underlying it, abnormal cases may occur that fall outside of what is considered to be “normal”. It is these abnormal losses of hair that cause a great many people to search for a hair loss remedy.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Simply stated, hormones cause natural hair loss. It’s a fact that we lose more than a hundred strands of hair per day without our knowledge. While we shed a considerable amount of hair daily, it is later replaced by a new growth of young, vibrant, shiny hair.

However, for reasons that still remain unclear, many people experience an abnormal loss of hair. Later in this article, you will find information on how hair loss is accelerated, and what you can do to prevent, or minimize the loss of hair through the use of natural remedies and a little habit changing.

What Do We Really Know About Hair Loss?

Hair loss as a result of aging is commonly referred to as Androgenic Alopecia. This phenomenon is normal and accounts for more than 96% of hair loss in people of advancing age.

This normal process of hair loss is genetic in origin; meaning, it “runs in one’s blood,” and has the tendency to be passed on to offspring who may also exhibit the same characteristics. Men suffer hair loss more often than women, with both seeking a hair loss remedy as a solution to their problem.

The first sign of hairloss in men is usually a receding hairline. Men would usually see this when baldness begins at the original hairline, and continues toward the top of the head. While women also suffer hair loss, the resulting effect is not as significant as it is in men.

The term “Male Pattern Baldness” usually begins in men in their twentys. However, signs of pattern baldness may show up as early as sixteen years of age, and in extreme cases, as young as fourteen. A womens progression of hair loss may go unnoticed due to the pattern being more evenly distributed on their head then on a mans.

In women, the entire scalp experiences an even hair loss, unlike men, where a specific portion of the scalp is initially affected, and then progresses to other parts of the scalp. Male hair loss starting in a specific area makes it noticeable even in minor cases.

A research team at the Wood Center of the University Of San Francisco was able to create a synthetic hair loss remedy that encourages hair growth in areas where follicular damage has occurred.

Copper Peptide, a synthetic medical product, was successfully used to promote active hair follicle renewal, and hair growth in damaged areas. The growth of hair is part of the unusual positive side effects copper peptide has on hair follicles. This has been an important development in the search for an effective hair loss remedy.

Many view zinc as the golden cure for the common cold, but its easy to get caught up in the hype and forget to look up the information on many nutritional remedies to see if they really do all they are said to, especially when your suffering from a cold and want relief fast.

It looks like zinc really is all it’s suggested to be, at least for colds. Zinc has been found to cut the durations of colds in half in several recent studies. In one study researchers at Wayne State University gave fifty lozenges each to forty eight staff and employees who’d had cold symptoms for twenty four hours or less. These lozenges were either a placebo or contained twelve and a half milligrams of zinc acetate, neither those handing the lozenges out nor the volunteers knew which was which. They were told to take one lozenge every three hours while they experienced symptoms and of course while they were awake.

At the end of the study they found that those taking the zinc lozenges had a cold for an average of four and one half days, while the placebo group had a cold for an average of eight point one days. And this study also found that recipients of zinc on average coughed for three days while the placebo group coughed an average of six days. Those participating in this study ended up taking eighty milligrams of zinc a day, which is five times the recommended amount! Suffice it to say don’t take a dosage this high on a regular basis, you will experience overdose symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and it will inhibit your body’s ability to absorb copper which can lead to anemia.

Zinc lozenges in particular have been recommended for those looking to fight the common cold. The lozenge dissolves slowly in your mouth and trickles down your throat. Firstly the common cold is usually a head cold and the mucosa membranes are the tissue most likely to be infected, sucking on a zinc lozenge allows the zinc to stay where it’s needed to fight those cold causing cytokines. Secondly, the membranes are thin and have a large number of capillaries which allows for best absorption of the zinc as it dissolves.

Here are some tips for making your zinc lozenge work better for you. Place the lozenge under your tongue, remember don’t chew it because it will end up in your stomach not stay where it’s needed. Also take zinc right before bedtime. Obviously don’t fall asleep with it in your mouth. Zinc is thought to move through the body via the lymphatic system and once you fall asleep your lymph system stops so the zinc will stay in contact with the infected mucus membranes all night. You may wake up with the sensation of being dried out; this is just due to the other astringency and anti-inflammatory properties of zinc.

The daily recommended amount of zinc for adults is fifteen milligrams a day. If you are pregnant or lactating or if you have a specific medical condition you will need to take a higher dosage of zinc.
