The 12th Century Spanish King, Alfonso the Great, translated from Arabic scrolls a book which lists hundreds of medicines prepared from powdered gem stones. The Arabs claimed diamond powder, in addition to healing many diseases, gave a man speed, strength, concentration and bravery. Ruby powder would remedy weakness of the heart, sores, ulcers, and would break up blood clots. Emerald powder was used for fever, injuries, infections, psoriasis and eczema. Medicines prepared from gem stones are today being prescribed in Tibet, India and other parts of the world. Gem medical preparations are potent, powerful, expensive and, like drugs in the wrong hands, can be dangerous.

In veterinary medicine, as in complimentary human medical disciplines, it is often difficult to make the proper diagnosis because of factors such as changing symptoms or the lack of diagnostically recognizable symptoms. The search for answers in such situations, coupled with the patient’s inability to communicate, is often frustrating to the veterinarian and costly to the client. The result is that such elusive problems frequently go undiagnosed for long periods of time.

What is infrared light? How does it compare to visible light?
Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). There are forms of light (or radiation) which we cannot see. Actually we can only see a very small part of the entire range of radiation called the electromagnetic spectrum .

Few people will ever stand as close to a giraffe as Betsy Karkowski has. Giraffes are just one of the many species she has had daily contact with as a zookeeper. “You get to know the animals’ habits, their likes and dislikes,” she says. “They recognize you and depend on you, and that’s a great feeling.”
Taking care of the animals at zoos and aquariums involves more than most visitors imagine. So if exotic-animal work appeals to you, get a head start by learning about a few zoo and aquarium careers, including what the work is like, how to prepare for it, what it pays, and how to gain experience now.
