Welcome to Gaia! ::

Navalie looked down at the ground and she plopped herself on it.She then looked to roy and down at the book. She took it and she opened it up.

"Thanks" She stated and paused flipping through the pages. She didn't mind the fact that it wasn't straight up medic nin but she figured to would still help out. "... So Mizuki is going to aim for medic nin.??!" She stated and she looked down at the book.

Navalie looked to roy and she smiled. That's glad to hear." she said as she heard roys bad remark. She then was going to hit him but she didn't because she didn't want to knock him out.

she knew that he was joking and she went with the flow. " I became A medic nin because I know that without one there would be more death's and pain to those who get injured or hurt. And In fact Like you said, I have had family die right in front of my face before........." She stated and from talking about this subject she almost had a breakdown.

She then decided to start reading the book to see if she could find info about medic stuff.

She gazed into it and she began reading:

Chapter 1:diseases

There are many diseases in this world......such as:

Anaemia may be defined as a condition in which there is a decrease in the quantity of haemoglobin or in the number of red cells. Anaemia is among the most common ailments affecting human beings. Nearly half the blood flowing in our veins and arteries consists of red blood cells which carry oxygen to the tissues. Approximately one trillion or 100 million new blood cells are formed daily in the bone marrow. The raw materials required in the production of these cells are iron, proteins, and vitamins, especially folic acid and B12. Of these, iron and proteins are essential in building up the red colouring matter called haemoglobin. A red cell has a lifespan of approximately one hundred and twenty days and is then destroyed and replaced. Each person should have about 15 gm of haemoglobin per 100 ml of blood, and a blood count of approximately five million red cells.

Symptoms of anaemia
Weakness, fatigue, lack of energy and dizziness
The patient usually complains of weakness, fatigue, lack of energy and dizziness. Other symptoms include a haggard look, premature wrinkles, dull and tired looking eyes, poor memory, shortness of breath on exertion, headache, slow healing of wounds, and palpitations. The skin and mucous membranes look pale.

Causes of anaemia
Diminished formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow
A diminished formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow, either due to defects in the bone marrow, or due to an inadequate intake of iron, vitamins, and proteins, is one of the main causes of anaemia.
Heavy loss of blood due to injury, bleeding piles
Other important causes are heavy loss of blood due to injury, bleeding piles, or excessive menstruation in women.
Lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach or intestinal parasites or worms
Anaemia can also occur due to a lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which is needed for digestion of iron and proteins, or intestinal parasites or worms. Hookworms, pinworms, round worms and tape worms feed on the supply of blood as well as on the vitamins.

Home remedies for anaemia
Anaemia treatment using Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is needed for preventing or curing anaemia. This vitamin is usually found in animal protein, especially in meats such as kidney and liver. There are, however, other equally good sources of vitamin BI2 such as dairy products which also contain some B12 .
Anaemia treatment using Beets
Beets are very helpful in curing anaemia. Beet juice contains potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sulphur, iodine, iron, copper, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins B1 B2, B6, niacin, and vitamin P. With their high iron content, beets help in the formation of red blood cells. The juice of red beet strengthens the body's powers of resistance and has proved to be an excellent remedy for anaemia, especially for children and teenagers, where other blood-forming remedies have failed.
Anaemia treatment using Fenugreek
The leaves of fenugreek help in blood formation. The cooked leaves should be taken by adolescent girls to prevent anaemia, which may occur due to the onset of puberty and menstruation. The seeds of fenugreek are also a valuable cure for anaemia, being rich in iron.
Anaemia treatment using Lettuce
Lettuce is another effective remedy for this ailment as it contains a considerable amount of iron. It can, therefore, be used as a good tonic food for anaemia. The iron in it is easily absorbed by the body.
Anaemia treatment using Spinach
This leafy vegetable is a valuable source of high grade iron. After its absorption, it helps in the formation of haemoglobin and red blood cells. It is thus beneficial in building up the blood, and in the prevention and treatment of anaemia.
Anaemia treatment using Soyabean
Soyabean is rich in iron and also has a high protein value. As most anaemic patients usually also suffer from a weak digestion, it should be given to them in a very light form, preferably in the form of milk, which can be easily digested.
Anaemia treatment using Almonds
Almonds contain copper to the extent of 1.15 mg per 100 gm. The copper along with iron and vitamins, acts as a catalyst in the synthesis of haemoglobin. Almonds are, therefore, a useful remedy for anaemia. Seven almonds should be soaked in water for about two hours and ground into a paste after removing the thin red skin. This paste may be eaten once daily in the morning for three months.
Anaemia treatment using Sesame Seeds
Black sesame seeds, as a rich source of iron, are valuable in anaemia. After soaking one teaspoon of the seeds in warm water for a couple of hours, they should be ground and strained, and then mixed with a cup of milk and sweetened with jaggery or sugar. This emulsion should be given to patients suffering from anaemia.
Anaemia treatment using Honey
Honey is remarkable for building haemoglobin in the body. This is largely due to the iron, copper, and manganese contained in it
Anaemia treatment using Other Foods
There are several other foods which are rich sources of iron and can be used beneficially in the treatment of anaemia. The more important of these are bananas, black grapes, plums, strawberries, raisins, onions, squash, carrots, radish, celery, and tomatoes.

Anaemia diet
Have raw vegetables and fresh fruits rich in iron
Diet is of utmost importance in the treatment of anaemia. Refined foods like white bread, polished rice, sugar, and desserts rob the body of its much-needed iron. Iron should preferably be taken in its natural organic form in food. The emphasis in the diet should be on raw vegetables and fresh fruits which are rich in iron.
Go for therapeutic treatment with an exclusive fruit diet
The patient should commence a therapeutic treatment with an exclusive fruit diet for five days, taking three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits. This may be followed by a fruit and milk diet for about fifteen days. In this regimen, the frequency of meals should be exactly the same as for the earlier all-fruit diet. Thereafter, the patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet, consisting of seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits.

Other anaemia treatment
Cold water baths
Cold water baths are recommended in anaemia. The patient should be given a cold bath carefully twice daily, the coldness of the water being increased gradually.
Hot Epsom salts bath and sunbatbs
A hot Epsom salts bath for five to ten minutes once a week and an occasional steam bath are also useful. Sunbaths are especially beneficial as the sunlight stimulates the production of red cells.
Deep breathing and light exercises
Other important factors that help in curing anaemia are deep breathing and light exercises like walking.
Yogic asanas
Yogic asanas such as sarvangasana paschimottanasana and shavasana as well as massage are also helpfu1 in this regard.

Navalie looked to roy as he came closer. She then closed the book and she felt roy land his head on her shoulder. She had no family and she didn't know what it was like to have a brother or sister. She didn't like people getting into her head and messing with her brain. She felt a bit frightened at the thought of how much someone who didn't know much about her would even care to help out. She then began to tense up and she listened in on his words. "..... Its fine, I am used to this stuff. It has been done to me for years...And Roy, I may never find a really happy place or find real happiness in this world......" she state and then began crying, remembering all about her life and history.

Navalie looked up and wiped the tears from her face off. She looked to Roy and felt him Bop her on the head.She didn't budge. She just let Roy talk endlessly to her while she listened in. She then began thinking about how she was wrong about her statement. She then grew a small smile and she then began to speak. " Your right, and I agree that even though we are in a line of struggle and work and that you don't know what I have been through but I am going through a lot and I am making a change... I don't try to push people away or anything. But there is one thing that is true and it will never leave my head." she said and paused. "It's the day I turned 2 and my only family member was killed, Right in front of my eyes. I couldn't do anything to stop it and I am surprised that the killer left me alive." she said somewhat smiling. "That day put me through a lot and it has scarred me"She said and she then turned her semi smile into a full one. SHe then felt roy shift his body and she looked at him again. listening to every word. "Sure, I guess so, It would be a bit different for me so lets do this!" she said and she had a large smile that transformed into a grin.

((I wouldn't use the term happy anymore than you did because she might be a ticked off person the whole time she's with you and she might attack ya!!*and not heal you! xp ))

looked back to Roy when he began speaking. she shook her head knowing that this was how he was. She then nodded and got up and put the book in her pocket. "And you'll have to deal with being beaten up by a girl and tossed around being completely embaressed...." she stated smirking."I don't go easy, EVER... And I suggest you be nice to me. Because If I am treated like s**t, so wont you!" she stated still smirking and now laughing a bit. She wanted to finally be able to enjoy herself with her new family/ place she would stay with to be a relaxing time. She actually had a bit of hope left. She wanted to call this her home and she wanted to be wanted where people would want her. She then gazed up at the sky and she grabbed ahold of Roy and tugging him along out of the village to go to the cafe.

((Be lucky I got some ca ching! xp ))

Kinako woke up with a startled groan, and looked around. He spotted his sister, and glared. "Thanks.." He said, then half-smiled, to show that he wasn't really mad. He stood up and yawned. "So.. who healed me? NAv?" He asked, handing a stick of dango to Mia.

((Ok, this is for offical documentation mostly but it's Roy teaching Ryoko about chakra as well as getting a little jutsu training in himself. Ryoko's text will be in dark red, Roy's in regular black.))

It was a pretty crisp day out on the badlands. With no vegitation around or any protection from the elements, this area was completly exposed and vulnerable to the most desperate heats and the absolute colds. Roy was happy to have on his leather jacket this day as a cold wind blew past his face bitting into his cheek or so it felt. He looked over his shoulder to see his mother bringing up a few bags of food and water. She had prepared a lunch for them and as usually made more than enough. Roy sighed a bit as his mother set the food down and the ground shook slightly.

"Jeeze, how much did you pack anyway?" he asked.

"Just enough to make sure we don't go hungrey out here. I've trained in these badlands with your grandfather before, this place is kinda unpredictable so I come prepared." she said rubbing her shoulders and walking up to Roy. "Alright pumpkin, what are you gonna teach your old mom today?"

Roy looked to her for a moment then sighed. He moved to where the food was and placed down his own bag and moved to her again. "Well, I'm gonna teach you about manipulating chakra. If you can't do that then you won't ever be able to stand up against other ninjas, not even the ones that restrict themselves to simple taijutsus."

"Well I know what chakra is and I know how to manipulate it but..."

"Nope, you know how to focus it, but not manipulate it. This type of manipulation is different than what you do with martial arts...well...sort of. It still invovles focusing your chakra to a certain point and such but its a far more complecated process than just using Kia's or moving your body in one motion. With true chakra control and manipulation,you can increase even your speed by a good 10 or 20 times. " Roy spoke these words as he moved over to a flat area and began to clear it of all the rocks in the area.

"So basically I could do the Body Flicker Technique and things of that nature?"

"You know about that? Well yea, thats one of the things. But I've heard of some Taijutsu masters using their chakra to increase their strength and speed directly, not just through some technique. " Roy cleared the area well enough and motioned for his mom to come to him. "Ok mom, since you already know how to focus chakra, this will be a bit easier. First, do you know about the chakra network?"

"Yes yes yes, its the network of channels and tunnels in the body that chakra flows through. It's very closly tied to many organs in the body so its a very vital part of the body. I read all this in those books you had lieing around."

Roy smiled a bit. "Good, then this makes this whole thing even mor easy. First, I want you to focus your chakra. Picture it moving thorugh your entire body. Try to remember how the chakra network looked in that book and picture your chakra moving through your body."

Ryoko began to sit down and crossed her legs in a meditative style. She closed her eyes and began to do as her son said. She pictured the chakra network and her blood vessel network and both of them working. She began to slow her breathing a bit and concentrate on the chakra network and blocked out the image of her blood vessels and saw only the chakra. "I think I see it...feels...red-ish..." Roy arched a brow but didn't say anything. Ryoko continued to focus and began to let out soft, quick breaths in the sound of her kia. Every time she did as such, she felt her chakra move a little bit faster than normal. She continued this and began to try to force her chakra to move at a faster, constant rate.

((Hmmm, guess I'll give it a DC of 15.))

((Whats up with the gotdamn 2's?))

Still no luck. Ryoko wasn't one to losses faith this early. She stayed quiet and took a few moments to return her breathing to normal. She placed her hands together and began to focus over and over in her mind. She slipped her mind into a deeper state of concentration. She felt her hands grasp together in a flat manor and began to push her chakra through her body with her will again.
