KSCR is completely student operated. The staff—over 200 members strong—is entirely composed of volunteers. A General Manager oversees six main departments: programming, music, concerts, promotions, operations, and sales. In addition to working for one or more of these departments, most staff members put in two or more hours each week in the studio. You can contact staff members via email using the staff directory.

The station is overseen by the USC Media Board as well as the USC Radio department, which also operates Classical 91.5fm KUSC.

Herbal tea mixed with honey has been found to be extremely popular for curing acid reflux and should be part of your acid reflux diet. Many patients have reported relief after taking this tea. However, for curing the acidic tendency it is prudent to take the tea with warm water instead of hot or boiling water. With the proper kind of herbal tea you can alleviate the acidity tendency. The acid reflex is the prior symptom for gastroesophageal reflux disease and this tea may help to manage the aggravation. If the proper type of herbal tea is not used then it could make the symptom worse.

Instead of taking antacids it is better to take herbal tea or acid reflux diet to avoid unnecessary side effects which probably may occur in future. Many countries and particularly in China herbal tea is taken to cure various diseases. Teas come in varieties also like red, green and black. As a matter of fact the tea contains ingredients like polyphenol, which is an antioxidant and thus protects the body from several diseases, even cancer.

All types of green tea are not good to control acidity. Only tea that does not contain caffeine can help reduce the acid reflux. Caffeine content can aggravate the symptom. These types of tea if taken after meals can help the food to be digested easily without causing any adverse effect. The perfect green tea can reduce painful diseases when you have an upset stomach. As a matter of convenience you can make green tea at home by trying chicory root. It is very simple and only you have to boil it, cool it and add some honey before intake. The other form of herbal tea is marshmallow tea, which is again a root based tea. It helps to subside and ameliorates the gastrointestinal tract, the bladder infections, respiratory problems and urinary tract.

The peppermint tea is also a refreshing herbal tea which has zero caffeine level. However, the use of this tea has not been authenticated. It is proved to have alleviated certain problems like gas pains, heartburn, nausea, etc. But few other researchers have found that this tea has aggravated the acid reflux of a person. Therefore it is better to consult your own doctor who is aware of your problem before taking such herbal tea.

There are many places where you can find herbal tea for controlling acidity. There are local shops and moreover the best place is to order online. It may seem to be a bit costly but it is better to have this tea or an acid reflux diet than to rely upon the antacids tablets. However, it is wiser to consult a doctor and ascertain the acuteness of acidity before taking herbal tea.

Due to air pollution, water pollution, and other chemicals which we accumulate from manufactured goods, we tend to accumulate contaminants too inside our bodies that hinder our actions.

One great free detox diet in the internet includes lots of water. Water serves as the basis for the body’s natural detoxification method via sweat or piss. Additionally, consuming water is better for the skin making it healthier.

Nutrition values are an element that an effective free detox diet will include. It must say the amount of calories, vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals that you are consuming. This kind of free detoxification diet is more reliable for these values can be simply established against a nutrition diagram.

One thing that individuals do not like regarding these kinds of diets is that they hinder particular foods and substances. It may be difficult for some individuals but it is essential for the improvement of the free detox diet. The usual prohibited ones are smoking, drinking alcohol, red meat, manufactured goods, and snacks. You need to be cautious in getting the nourishment that your body needs. This is a very essential point that you must bear in mind.

Other diets out there can involve additional supplements, medicines, or teas. These are not obligatory though they can be great for you, just as long as you ensure that you involve the three facts said above.

However, a common observation in many cases is that natural and less costly drinks, made from exotic plant based as well as tropical fruit extracts, are winners, when it comes to consumer choice. One easy, do it yourself diet is a three day detox diet based on the use of water or fruit based drinks. Water and fruit drinks are the easiest and most effective fluids for this purpose. If one can find a recipe based on the use of flavours they like, and they are a bit creative with it, it is much easier, fun and cost effective too. Another added advantage of the 3 day detox diet is avoidance of harmful additives and flavours in ready-made drinks.

Preparation of a home detox drink: Quite often homemade detox drinks are based on citrus juice, hot pepper or spices, cayenne pepper and a sweetening agent. Such a drink offers plenty of vitamin C, flavour as well as much needed nutrition.

Thrush affects everyone, but mostly those with a weak immune system, babies, toddlers and women.  A mouth infection is caused by a fungus called Candida. This fungus is normally found in the digestive system, mouth and on the skin of most people but is kept harmless by other bacteria and micro organisms living in the body.  Certain illnesses, medication or stress can cause an imbalance in the body, resulting in the Candida fungus to grow and cause infection.

The signs and symptoms of mouth thrush are easy to detect and will usually develop suddenly, but can become a chronic and persistent condition.  The first signs of thrush will be the appearance of small, raised lesions in the mouth which will often be creamy white in colour.   These will appear on your inner cheek, gums or tongue but can also spread to the back of your throat, tonsils and the roof of your mouth.  These little lesions may be painful and will sometimes bleed when brushed with a toothbrush.  If the infection is not treated, it can spread to your oesophagus and cause difficulty in swallowing.  Should the infection spread further than the oesophagus, a fever might set in.  Infections could spread to the lungs, skin and liver when the immune system is weak and unable to protect the body.

Because Candida infections are cause by a weak immune system and an imbalance in the body’s healthy bacteria, it cannot be spread from one person to another.  It is not contagious.  It is important though to realize the benefits of a healthy immune system and taking care of your body to prevent an infection from manifesting and spreading.  When a mouth thrush appears, it’s usually a good indication to you that your body is under attack and open to many other viruses that might be worse than a simple yeast infection.

Although the Candida fungus can be easily and effectively treated in children and adults, people with a weak immune system might need longer or stronger treatment.  Medication is continued for 10 – 14 days and can be in the form of lozenges, tablets, liquid or a powder.  Although your doctor will prescribe the correct medication for your specific infection, he will also advise you on a healthier lifestyle to strengthen your immune system.

Infections can be prevented by healthy eating habits, quitting the smoking habit and avoiding mouthwash or mouth rinses as these can cause an imbalance in your mouth and promotes a fungal breakout.
