Do's And Don'ts Of Disability Etiquette

We are often asked how an able bodied person should act and talk in the presence of someone with a disability.  This short guide isn't intended to insult anyone's intelligence and it's

content isn't law.  Hopefully you'll find some useful tips and pointers in it. 

 

DO: Use "people first" language to respect that people with disabilities aren't defined by their disability, they are people first, disability second ("OUT" terms: "handicapped," "the disabled," "wheelchair-bound," "confined to a wheelchair."  "IN" terms: "people with disabilities.")

 

DO: Ask and don't assume someone needs or wants help even if they appear to be struggling with mobility.

DO: Think of a wheelchair or other mobility aide as a part of the user's personal space. Don't lean on it, push it without asking, put your feet upon it, etc.

DO: Speak directly to people with disabilities and with age-appropriate language-not to the people who may be accompanying them.

DO: Bend down or pull up a chair to speak to someone in a wheelchair at their eye level. It is less stressful on their neck and more respectful.

DON'T: Pity or feel sorry for people who have disabilities or use wheelchairs.  Wheelchairs are empowering and allow people with disabilities to get around where they wouldn't otherwise be as free...often they can move faster than people who walk!

DON'T: Put people with disabilities "up on a pedestal." They aren't "superheroes," "brave," "courageous," or "inspiring;" rather, people with disabilities just want to do the same things that anyone without a disability wants to do.

DON'T: Touch someone or pat them on the head-it is patronizing and not respectful.

DON'T: Assume someone who is Deaf can read lips. Lip reading is very uncommon.

DON'T: Pet a service animal who is at work. Ask if it is OK with their owner. 

 

 

 

 
Did You Know? Health Benefits of Oil of Oregano

Oil of Oregano is an essential oil derived from the leaves of the plant Oregano Vulgares, a woody shrub native to the Mediterranean. The oil is steam-distilled from fresh or dried leaves. It is very strong and has to be diluted with virgin olive oil to take orally. The active ingredients are Carvachol and Quercetin. One of the main benefits of Oil of Oregano is that it works as a natural antibiotic and is also antiviral. Let me explain. 

Let's say you have a sore throat. Chances are good that this is viral. Your doctor prescribes in 75 % of the time an antibiotic which is most of the time just not useful. Viruses do not respond to antibiotics. But Oil of oregano will cure the job as it is both antiviral and anti bacterial. It is an excellent product for topical use works against eczema and fungus. Apply it 2-3 times a day. It works as well for pain and it is anti inflammatory. In pain control it is as strong as Ibuprofen and morphine. Another Oil of Oregano advantage is that it has high levels of antioxidants, higher than vegetables or fruit. If you have oregano in your garden add a teaspoon to your food daily. It works against Candida, viruses that causes shingles and herpes, and is an decongestant. Oregano is one of the six herbs that is rated highest in Progesteron- binding activities. High levels of Progesteron suggest having protective ability against the formation of certain cancers (breast, prostate and small basal cell lung cancer.)

The essential oil of Oregano can even kill 25 of the most common bacteria in water if used in a dilution of 1:4000. It will sterilize water; good idea if you travel, if you want to clean up your sewer systems or just clean your water.  

Research suggests that oxygen molecules react with the Oregano oil and water in your body to create heat that destroys germs by dehydrating them. A couple of drops daily of Oil of Oregano boast up the immune system when feelings of being run down occur. Research also shows that the topical use of Oil of Oregano increases oxygen in specific areas, as the active ingredients will be absorbed  for 90% in your body.
