Technological tools have helped shrink the world by introducing people from all walks of life to one another. This has helped make many business communities more efficient and prosperous, but until now has not been applied to local food and sustainability partners. A new social network called GrowSocial is a platform that connects food producers, teachers, builders and a wealth of other like-minded people find one another. This network of relationships helps foster a thriving local community that is focused on producing environmentally friendly foods, services and products that also benefit local residents.

GrowSocial was developed by an international team of participants led by Cynthia Schaefer in a social entrepreneurship online course with Copenhagen Business School, and has earned special recognition as one of the top ten business plans from that program. This much needed project will enable sustainability partners from communities around the globe find one another and produce synergies that will serve local economies, residents’ health & welfare, and the environment.

This profile based, user centric platform creates a much needed infrastructure for local food and sustainability participants to collaborate within their communities, improve productivity, close waste loops and create more resilient communities. It will also help residents find local food and local businesses, creating stronger local economies and more small business opportunities.

GrowSocial promises to help improve communities everywhere, but it requires your assistance to become a reality. The GrowSocial team has sponsored a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to raise the $15,000 necessary to develop GrowSocial. In return for supporting this worthwhile project, you can receive valuable perks like website recognition, Companion Plant Member status, Soil Building Member status, or Golden Harvest Member status. GrowSocial is also seeking volunteers to help design and create the social network.

David Papp, ‘Your Tech Expert’ Kickstarts UberStax – A Universal Gaming Accessory

$

Edmonton, AB – On September 14 2015, David Papp (technology pundit, entrepreneur and engineer) launched a Kickstarter campaign for UberStax, a gaming accessory fit for any tabletop game that uses cards, pieces or tokens. UberStax are linkable ‘plates’ that allow the creation of card holders, token ‘racks’ or other game organization functions. 

“UberStax is a new twist on an old idea. For years table-top, card and token games have posed challenges for some players. We’ve all experienced Dominos with too many tiles,” David explains, “Children can struggle with the manual dexterity required to manipulate a hand of cards. Disabilities due to injury or illness can prevent some people from enjoying a simple game of cards.”

UberStax makes your table-top gaming experience more enjoyable by solving some of these common issues, such as a small table or playing area, by helping to reduce clutter. Children and individuals with dexterity or physical challenges love using UberStax because it makes it easier to keep track of their game pieces, cards or tokens without struggling to hold them all. Plus, since your hands are now free you can munch on snacks and drinks! 

“With over 20 years in engineering (and much more in game playing!) our founder has worked on having the initial designs completed, getting many prototypes made using 3D printing, and play-testing each design iteration to arrive at the current design,” the team says, “This has been a long process for over a year and we are excited to now be ready for mass production by injection molding.“

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including a set of 12 UberStax pieces for $12, a set of 24 pieces for $24 and more. Backers can also pledge $99 for 120 pieces or $250 for a set of 12 3D-printed white prototypes shipped as soon as the campaign ends (with a storage bag, very special mention on the website and social media and 120 UberStax pieces sent when the injection molding is complete).  

David anticipates availability of the final product before Christmas 2015 should the project attain full funding, with additional color options available should goals be exceeded.

How to Avoid High Out-of-Pocket Costs for Health Insurance

$
0

Middle income earners are being required to make tough decisions.
Since the passing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, millions of Americans who were previously uninsured now have access to healthcare coverage. With a number of programs available to help low-income families receive discounts on their insurance, healthcare is becoming more affordable than ever – for some people.

In addition to paying a monthly premium for insurance coverage, millions of individuals must also meet expensive deductibles and co-pays before their plan will start kicking in. Once the deductible is met, co-insurance kicks in till you reach the max out of pocket. At that point you will have nearly 100% coverage. Most plans will still have some co-pay for doctors visits and prescriptions. Take the example of a 50 year-old man who earns about $32,000 per year. This man purchases a health insurance plan through the private marketplace and ends up spending about 28% of his monthly income if he reaches max out of pocket for the year. This includes premiums, deductibles, co-payments and prescriptions (and other forms of cost-sharing.) He must continue to make these payments until he reaches his plan’s out-of-pocket maximum, something that relatively few people who have health insurance ever do.

Keeping this story in mind, you may be wondering whether it is worth it at all to even have health insurance. After all, the tax penalty can be less than paying all of those premiums and out-of-pocket costs. The tax penalty for 2015 is $325 per adult or 2% of income. While it may seem like forgoing an insurance plan is the right decision if you are looking to save money, it will probably end up costing you money in the long run. And more significantly, shorten your life span. While some health insurance plans have high deductibles and require you to pay a copayment when you receive treatment, plan deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums will be significantly lower than the total cost of certain treatments if you were to get them while uninsured.

Think about this – if you have a chronic illness for which you receive weekly or monthly treatment, your healthcare costs will add up very quickly. CDC, centers for disease control, “as of 2012, about half of all adults – 117 million people – had one or more chronic conditions. One out of four adults had two or more chronic health conditions. Seven of the top 10 causes of death in 2010 were chronic diseases.

Well, do you feel lucky? If you are young, you are probably still feeling invincible. Client Mike contracted Lymphoblastic Leukemia and had 1.6 million in claims in 2014.

If you do not suffer from a serious illness yourself, you probably know someone who has. Do you know anyone who has cancer? Or diabetes? Or cystic fibrosis? People with serious diseases like this often pay exorbitant costs for medical care, if they don’t have insurance. According to NerdWallet.com, one in five Americans struggle to pay for medical bills each year. In fact, 1.7 million Americans declare bankruptcy each year due to their inability to pay medical bills – this figure outnumbers bankruptcies from credit card bills and unpaid mortgages. If you have health insurance your maximum yearly cost is between $6,250 and $6600 each year. This by itself will not force bankruptcies for most people.

Although health insurance has become more readily available with the passing of the Affordable Care Act, there are still millions of Americans who struggle to pay their medical bills. According to a survey conducted by the U.S. Government, out-of-pocket healthcare expenses reached an average of $3,301 per year per household, a sum that is up from $2,500 in 2009. What many consumers do not realize is that they have some control over their out-of-pocket expenses. While the plan may require you to pay a certain copayment and to meet a deductible before they start offering coverage, there are several things you can do to reduce your out-of-pocket costs after that point.

 • The best thing you can do to reduce your out-of-pocket costs is to take control of your health insurance plan:

 • Understand your plan benefits to make sure that you get the treatment you need without paying extra for it. Make sure that the doctor you see is within the network.

 • Take advantage of Free Preventive Care

 • Get referrals for specialist visits, if your plan requires them. Even if you are required to stay within a particular network, you still have some freedom to choose a provider.

 • If you know that you need a particular treatment or service, do some research to find out the details of what is involved in that treatment and find a provider that will offer you the lowest price.

 • Even after you choose a provider, you still have some options to lower your out-of-pocket costs even more. Speak to your provider (or the billing office) about negotiating the price of your bill. Medical providers offer deep discounts for health insurance companies, so they may do the same for you? See if you can negotiate a discount for paying upfront or for paying in cash. If you can’t cover the total cost of services out-of-pocket at once, ask about setting up a payment plan. Most providers are happy to offer their patients a payment plan if it means they will make regular payments.

 • Consumerism. Get the best value. Compare doctor grade with specific cost. Tools like the FH Consumer Cost Lookup and Healthcare Bluebook allow you to look up the average price in your area for certain procedures so you can shop around for the lowest price.

 • Shop around for the best prescription prices – do not just assume that your local pharmacy has the lowest rate. Go for generics when possible and ask your pharmacist what the cash price would be for prescriptions and compare it to the rate you get with your insurance. Consider Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Sam’s and other discount outlets. Consider Rx by mail.

 • Look at telemedicine. Some carriers have this option within their plans. Stand alone options are increasing in supply to fill current needs. Over 70% of ER, Urgent Care, and Doctors visits can be handled safely and effectively over the phone.

 • Take control of your health. Ask yourself – am I in shape? Could I be in better shape? Do I follow a healthy diet? What can I do to become healthier? Think about it – the healthier you are, the less medical care you will need and the lower your medical bills will be. If you stay healthy, you also spend less time away from work, which is lost money.

 • Consider and compare the purchase of HSA qualified health plan with current plan. HSA plans are eligible for tax free contributions. Interest earnings are tax free. Employers and owners of account are eligible to contribute to the account.

 • Healthcare-specific line of credit. You may be able to get a payment length up to 18 months with no interest or a term up to 60 months with interest.

 • Go to dentist and get your teeth cleaned. Oral health is a window to your overall health.

 • Work with your health insurance agent to confirm carrier bills are correct. Ask them to review for accuracy. Yes, providers make mistakes. Insurance carriers make mistakes.


Taking control of your health insurance plan is the best way to reduce your out-of-pocket costs and it starts with choosing the right plan
. There are many different health plans available to choose from. Select the one that provides the coverage you need at a price you can afford. Before you buy a plan, make sure to think about what kind of treatments you expect to receive throughout the year so you can make sure that you will be covered. The more you know about your plan before you select it, and the better you understand how to use it, the less you will have to worry about out-of-pocket costs.

Belvedere has seen the highest rise in homes sold sine June, followed by Corte Madera, Fairfax, and San Rafael.

Succeeding With the Help of Digital Marketing

$
0
0
A businesses reputation is extremely important when a consumer is in the market for a particular product.
In simple terms, digital marketing can be described as the promotion of products or services via one or more forms of electronic media.

The Difference Digital Marketing Makes

Digital marketing is different from traditional methods of marketing because it involves the use of channels and mechanisms that enable an organization to analyze marketing campaigns and understand what is working well and what isn’t. Digital marketers keep a close eye on things, like what is being viewed, how often and for how long, what content works and what doesn’t work, sales conversions and more. While the internet is the channel most closely associated with digital marketing, others may include wireless text messaging, mobile apps, instant messages, electronic billboards, and digital television and radio channels.  

Keeping up with the Latest Technology

There are so many people that are current on the latest technology and social media that have made digital media  the most persuasive way to allow consumers to have access to information anytime and place they wish. Society these days has moved past delivering information via word of mouth and can now easily find reviews on a product or service through a screen. Digital media is an everlasting source of entertainment, shopping and social interaction. News and consumers are now exposed to not just information about the product or service but now have easy access to what the media, friends, relatives, and neighbors are saying as well. Consumers look for brands they can trust, good communication that is personalized and relevant, companies that know them, and offers that are tailored to their preferences. A businesses reputation is extremely important when a consumer is in the market for a particular product.

Digital marketing and its partner channels are crucial, it is not enough to simply know the customers; one must know them better than other competitors. To be able to communicate with them easily, other channels such as Web, mobile, direct mail, point of sale and social media is a necessity. Marketers are able to use this information to make and anticipate consistent, coordinated experiences for the customers, moving them into the buying cycle. The more insight one has with their customer and their preferences or needs, the more likely they are to engage in lucrative interactions. Staying on top of the latest advances in technology will benefit any marketing company by giving them the leg up over other businesses.

CHICAGO, IL – 10 Sep, 2015 – Every year, migraine sufferers spend more than $4 billion on over-the-counter medications, most offering little more than temporary or minor relief.

Developed and designed by Dr. Tian Xia, a Board Certified specialist dedicated to the holistic pursuit of migraine pain management, the Tx360 represents a revolutionary approach to the delivery of pain relief medication.

A double-blind, placebo controlled study has shown the Tx360 proceedure to be safe and effective for the treatment of chronic migraine pain, with most subjects reporting significant relief within 24 hours following treatment.

The Tx360 is a single-use, disposable catheter that safely delivers pain relief medication via the nasal passages to the ganglion at the back of the nose. This procedure represents a safe and comfortable method for the delivery of medication to patients with chronic migraines, cluster headaches, or chronic daily headaches.

Based on Dr. Tian Xia’s holistic solution to pain relief, the Tx360 is an advanced approach to wellness and freedom from chronic pain. Following a two-stage process that treats both the reactions of the nervous system as well as the underlying physical issues, such as stress and diet, most patients who have undertaken the recommended six treatments experience relief from pain.

FDA-approved, the pain relieving procedure using the Tx360 disposable catheter is covered by Medicare and accepted by most health insurance providers.

Stop suffering today. There really is a safe and easy solution to the intense pain caused by chronic migraines, headaches, and Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Integrated Pain Management is located in Chicago and Lombard, Illinois. Individuals with chronic pain challenges who live out of state should ask their Health Care Professional to contact  one of our offices to request a physician to physician consultation.

How to choose the BEST Rehab Center Where Professionalism and Experience Matters Most!

$

If an individual does not have enough knowledge about rehabilitation centers, it is better to consult with an experienced individual.
Choosing a suitable rehabilitation center is vital in order to help the individual suffering from the drug addiction.

A careless decision at this stage can end up in disappointment. If an individual does not have enough knowledge about rehabilitation centers, it is better to consult with an experienced individual. Some of the most important things to know about any rehabilitation center before selection are as follows:

The Philosophy of Treatment

It is important to know about the treatment plan followed by a specific rehabilitation center. There are different methods of treatment which are sometimes based upon the religious teachings. So it is necessary to find a rehabilitation center which follows the suitable philosophy of treatment.

The Success Rate

It is essential to know about the track record of the rehabilitation center. If the administration of the rehabilitation center is reluctant to disclose the past records, there is no need to consider it as an option. The officials of a successful rehabilitation center will never try to hide anything.

The Role of Family During Treatment

A rehabilitation center which allows the participation of family members to become a part of the treatment process is a great option. It enables family members to know whether or not the patient is showing any signs of rehabilitation. It also allows the family members to keep an eye on the methods of fair treatment. Some rehabilitation centers do not allow family members to have frequent contact with the patient.

What Else to Look For?

It is important to check the treatment protocol. The experienced individuals are of the view that evidence-based treatment protocol is the most suitable option. Such rehabilitation centers are reliable and result oriented.

The concept of evidence based protocol is based on the in depth study of the patient’s case through a number of therapies. The reliable rehabilitation centers only consider those therapies which show good results during the research and have acclaimed high regards in the publications. They never rely on the perceptions or estimated guess work. It is necessary to avoid those rehabilitation centers which do not justify this criteria of evidence based protocol treatment.

How Addiction Can Feed On Itself

$

That host can be a friend or loved one, and it’s not uncommon for addicts to say they feel an they been taken over or possessed by addiction. This is not necessarily far from the truth.
Addiction is a disease that creates its own food supply. The human who’s impacted by addiction is the host, and the emotional and psychological issues that lead that host to feel isolated, depressed, anxious and alone are the food that fuel addiction.

As the host becomes more and more absorbed in addiction behavior, and perhaps retreats in shame and guilt from friends, family, and the sober lifestyle they were once accustomed to, addiction gets fed more and more isolation, loneliness, sadness and frequent fear.  Embarrassing nights out indulging in the escape of drugs and alcohol are recalled in horror, or not recalled at all.  The addict’s behaviors turn from serving as a source of escape, to becoming the reason they need an escape.  This cycle of addiction in turn, feeds itself, at the expense of the host.

That host can be a friend or loved one, and it’s not uncommon for addicts to say they feel an they been taken over or possessed by addiction.  This is not necessarily far from the truth.  People who are dealing with addiction can be very high functioning in certain situations, able to maintain a job, a family life, or perhaps to appear socially appropriate when needed, but the addiction in the background can make loved ones, children, family members and spouses feel like they are constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Discomfort in relationships, especially those that provide stability and support during times of need, can breed more isolation and shame.  This can become very real even if they result only from processes inside the addict’s mind, and don’t stem from judgement or dismissal from the outside.  The truth is that addiction takes advantage of every resource in an addict’s life eating the addict up and draining those around them.  Addiction can be a frightening and terrible disease, but there is help to overcome it.

Breaking the cycle of addictive behavior is hard for everyone involved. When the supportive people in an addict’s life ask that the addict to consider approaching recovery, and give the reasons they would love to have their friend, parent, partner or coworker back, they are performing an intervention, which often leads an addict to consider treatment.  Intervention can be the first step that creates a small hole in addiction’s defenses, since the addict can easily see that there are people who care about them as a person, and wish them to be well.

If the addict accepts the opportunity to engage in recovery treatment, that process can take many forms.  Finding the right form is a highly personal experience for each addict.  Inpatient, outpatient and experiential therapies are available, and no one way is the “right” way.  Each addict must find the path that is the most comfortable, and meets their most important needs.  Some facilities are more flexible, and will allow someone who has family obligations to do what they need to continue to meet those throughout the recovery process.

Drug and alcohol addicts are faced with many challenging aspects when recovering.

$

There are so many damaging aspects of addiction. Many addicts suffer from self-deception that leads them to dangerous behavior. This can bring about sudden financial issues, problems in relationships, and even impacts the addict’s health.
For the person who is suffering from addiction, no matter which drug is abused, it is universally the most difficult part of recovery for the addict to admit they have a problem.

The first step, and the worst step, is the addict’s admission that there is no controlling the addiction. The addiction has control of the addict.

No person, adult or child, wants to admit that their will is so weak that a substance – a non-living thing – has taken control of their behavior, their thinking, and their dreams; however, by bringing every resource an addict has at their disposal, the vast majority of people who suffer from addiction are not able to self-manage the recovery process and find sobriety again.  There are certainly a few who can do it, perhaps using community based programs like twelve step programs, but most people require assistance on a few different levels in order to achieve recovery.  There is no shame in this.  Disentangling the mental and emotional processes from the physical addiction can take a long time, and the strongest, most bold and determined can make the most use of a substance abuse treatment program that will improve their lives and relationships beyond where they were before addiction became involved.

There are so many damaging aspects of addiction.  Many addicts suffer from self-deception that leads them to dangerous behavior.  This can bring about sudden financial issues, problems in relationships, and even impacts the addict’s health.  An addict will benefit most from a treatment program that gives ample attention to a holistic approach, helping the patient discover their mental and emotional triggers for addiction, repairing the medical health damages that drugs and alcohol can do to a human body, and giving spiritual hope to an addict who may feel extremely lost and alone in the world.  For those addicts who are depressed or suffer from anxiety or panic disorders, the fundamental escapism and lowering of inhibition that drugs and alcohol can offer are often so impactful, that thinking about life before addiction seems sad and lonelier than a life with addiction. 

The right addiction recovery program will help an addict  understand what behaviors and skills they can bring to relationships, particularly with respect to boundary development, that will help them deal with humans in a sober life, perhaps better than ever.  Gaining tools to combat addiction will give an addict what they need to be successful, and the practice developing relationships with fellow addicts and treatment professionals can mean the opportunity for success in recovery.  Patients who are fearful of legal action, or find that the financial impacts of addiction have destroyed their lives, or are dealing with family situations which have become strained, are served in any recovery program, and will be offered access to support resources to help ease the transition back into a normal life.

Drug Rehabilitation Centers Give Men Back Their Hopes and Dreams

$

The goal of an outstanding christian program is to give men the tools they need to successfully proceed through life knowing that they are protected by their creator.
When men struggle with an addiction for an extended period of time, the destruction of hopes and dreams can oftentimes be overwhelming. Regaining these important attributes can be a strenuous process that requires full participation.

Choosing the most successful rehabilitation center that focuses on men

There is not a man out there that desires for their hopes and dreams to be demolished by the destructive grips of drugs and alcohol. This is a devastating result of addiction and getting the right amount of help that is centered around Christ and the healing He can offer is crucial. There are various ways to find treatment and healing, but when a rehabilitation facility is designed for men and centered around the way they heal, success is much more attainable.

Does religion have anything to do with long-term recovery?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions by individuals seeking treatment and recovery. It’s important for a treatment center to offer ways to learn how to successfully recover, heal from the past and allow men to completely transform their soul. Christian drug treatment can give men the empowerment they have been longing for. God will do work and transform men as they complete a christian program. This form of treatment is aimed towards long-term recovery. The goal of an outstanding christian program is to give men the tools they need to successfully proceed through life knowing that they are protected by their creator. Lifelong recovery is attainable.

The most daunting step-4

Step four requires individuals to dive deep within their soul to do a moral inventory. This is one of the most challenging steps for most men. Where does one start? It’s not so much about finding a designated starting point. It’s more important to find the will within oneself to begin in the first place. There is no “right” way to approach this self evaluation.

Recovery will teach men what it means to be a man of honor. It helps to remember what Luke taught (12:2-3): “There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.” There is an abundant amount of healing on the other side of confession. The fourth step is one of the most difficult because it causes men to confess what was previously in the dark. Fear should not get in the way of progress.

The Day to Day Life of a Recovering Addict

$

Addiction can be overcome one day at a time.
So many of the fears and concerns that people have before going to recovery are manifestations of their anxiety about the change they are confronting.

For a person who has been abusing a substance for a long period of time, the separation from that drug is all at once a physical change, a mental adjustment and an emotional loss.  There are wonderful things waiting for the addict who completes a recovery treatment program.  Better health is just one small aspect of the centered, self-aware and accepting life that is on the other end of recovery.  But getting to the treatment center and working through these fears is something that most people have to cope with.

During the intake process, the recovery professionals will take the patient’s clothing and other personal belongings, and a medical exam will be taken to determine the patient’s fitness for treatment.  During this time, if the patient has been accompanied by family or loved ones, the administrative staff will be available to discuss payment arrangements and insurance.  The best premier addiction recovery treatment facilities work very closely with the primary insurance carries in the country, and most of the recovery program is generally going to be paid for by the insurance of the patient.  However, in cases where there is not insurance available, many recovery treatment facilities will offer financing options that can take the burden of the cost of treatment out of the picture.  Fears about the expense of addiction recovery are common, but the cost is generally covered for those who have medical health insurance.  For others, it is easy to gain financing for this worthy investment in the future.  This part of the process does not take a long time, and the patient will be released from the medical exam fairly quickly.

Once the patient is left with the inpatient or residential recovery treatment professionals, the family or loved ones can keep in touch with the patient in a variety of ways.  The facility may allow the patient to make periodic phone calls during the recovery process, to write letters or emails, and possibly to use Skype or other video chat software to phone home.  There are programs that emphasize the value of being removed from the home during recovery.  Even these programs generally offer a structured and realistic amount of time to touch base during the program.

The day to day life of the patient in an addiction recovery treatment facility will be full of activities.  There will be educational programs about drug and alcohol abuse, because the addict who fully understands their disease is less likely to relapse.  There will be one on one psychotherapy sessions that will help the patient understand their own underlying motivations for addiction.  There will be group therapy, as well, which will allow the patient to gradually regain their social skills including developing healthy boundaries and trust.  Because some people learn best experientially, the program the patient is in may offer outings and other opportunities for hands-on learning.

What Exactly is MDMA (Ecstasy)?

$

0
Research shows that ecstasy is neurotoxic, and is dangerous to health and sometimes, lethal.
MDMA is an unnatural, psychoactive drug that is chemically similar to methamphetamine and hallucinogen mescaline.

There are many different names for MDMA, such as Ecstasy (XTC), Adam, “hug drug”  to “Molly”. Ecstasy usually comes in a pill form, the common active oral dose of MDMA is 75mg. Normally, most pills contains under 100mg of MDMA, making the rest an inactive pill filler which can include food color dye, starch or talcum powder. At times, ecstasy can be “cut” with other illegal and potentially toxic or deadly chemicals. It can contain other substances to MDMA, such as ephedrine, dextromethorphan (better known as cough syrup that has PCP), ketamine, caffeine or even cocaine.

Ecstasy is an illegal drug that acts both as a stimulant and also psychedelic, while producing an energizing effect, while creating distortions in time, perception, enhanced enjoyment and euphoria. Ecstasy exercises its primary effects in the brain on neurons that uses chemical serotonin to communicate with other neurons. Serotonin system plays a very important role when regulating mood, aggression, sleep, sexual activity and level of sensitivity to pain. Research shows that ecstasy is neurotoxic, and is dangerous to health and sometimes, lethal.

Dangerous Effects of Ecstasy Use

For some, ecstasy can easily be addictive. A recent survey of young adult and adolescent Ecstasy users discovered that 43% of those who reported ecstasy use despite knowledge of physical or psychological harm, and withdrawal effects, and 34% of those tested met the criteria for drug abuse. Withdrawal symptoms can include fatigue, depression, mood swings and loss of appetite.

Ecstasy increases heart rate, clenched teeth, blurred vision, dry mouth, occasional chills, sweating and sometimes nausea. It can also make users feel very anxious, confused and even paranoid. It also causes direct damage to the brain cells that involves thinking and memory.  Another dangerous hazard for an ecstasy user is that his or her body can simply overheat (hyperthermia) while dancing or any other physical activities, eventually leading to muscle breakdown, damage to the kidney, liver and heart, or even death. It can also cause seizures, swelling of the brain and/or permanent brain damage.
