How to Protect Yourself From A Stalker

2011-06-02T10:29:00.000-07:00

How to Protect Yourself From A Stalker - Recently, a new show called Stalked: Someone's Watching, premiered on the Investigation Discovery channel. Over the course of six episodes, the program recounts the stories of men who relentlessly pursued former partners, or neighbors, or relative strangers - and provides some insight into their twisted motives. The first episode details the relationship between Peggy Klinke and Patrick Kennedy, the man whom she once considered the love of her life - who would eventually kill her. Michelle Ward, a criminal psychologist and stalking victim herself, is featured in the series and talked to me about men like Kennedy ... and what we can do to protect ourselves from them. Why do stalkers become stalkers?

It's hard to say. But some people seem to be predisposed to that behavior, due to biological or genetic factors, or the way they were raised. The vast majority of stalkers exhibited troubling or violent behavior earlier in their lives.
Who is most vulnerable to stalkers?

Anyone can become a stalker's target. But women who have been stalked often refer to themselves as the "savior type." They enjoy trying to help troubled or struggling men.
Is there anything women can do to preemptively protect themselves from stalkers?

While there are very few specific antecedents to stalking, controlling behavior is probably the biggest predictor. A man who tries to dictate a woman's wardrobe, how she does her hair, what she does at work, the people with whom she socializes, her relationships with her family, or her activities inside and outside of the home often ends up stalking her. Additionally, women should be wary of a partner who is extremely jealous of other men, and other people in general. Stalkers sometimes try to eliminate a woman's resources, particularly her access to friends and family.

All of this means women shouldn't brush aside warning signs that pop up at the beginning of a relationship. Be very selective about whom you allow into your life. A man who is overly jealous, irrationally suspicious, or aggressive in ways that make you uncomfortable may become dangerous as your intimacy grows. And if your friends, family, or colleagues are concerned about the guy, listen to what they say. Also, try to find out how he behaved in previous romantic relationships. Arrests or charges for domestic violence, harassment, or any other aggressive behavior are very bad signs, of course.

Often, stalker victims are women who stay too long in bad relationships, or put up with too much before ending things.
Can we do anything to prevent relative strangers from stalking us?

Be very careful about keeping your personal information confidential. Don't leave mail in your car. Don't list your phone number and address. Have a policy of never giving your email address to a stranger - not even the cute guy you meet at a bar. Ask for his number instead. Cyber-stalking is another big problem these days, so make sure you have strict privacy settings set on all of your social media accounts, and don't post information about your whereabouts or hangouts to these sites.

What's the most important thing to do if you are being stalked?

What's the most important thing to do if you are being stalked?
Alert law enforcement immediately. (Amy Johnson, a police officer profiled in the series, seemed to think she could handle it herself when her ex-husband began to stalk her … but she couldn't.) Do not have any further contact with your stalker. Try to record any harassing phone calls or interactions. Law enforcement agencies want to help you, but you have to be your own best advocate. This means keeping careful logs of everything that happens and reporting them frequently. Alert friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers about your stalker and try to provide a photo and description of his or her car. Try to maintain an inconsistent schedule so he won't be able to predict where you'll be.

Improve Your Mood With These Tips

2011-03-03T06:49:00.000-08:00

Improve Your Mood With These Tips - There are a variety of things that can cause us to get the blues or feel a little down. If you feel like you may be suffering from a form of depression it is important to seek professional help, but if you are just feeling a little down in the dumps there are a few things you can do to help perk yourself up again. Things like getting the right blend of nutrients, exercise and listening to music can all help improve your mood.

Nutrients and Supplements

To get a wide spectrum of nutrients from your foods it is important to eat a variety of foods including plenty of fruits and vegetables. Also choose whole grains instead of refined grains as they have more mood boosting nutrients. Some research suggests that a lack of certain nutrients can affect the way our bodies metabolize brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline which can have a direct impact on your mood.

Make sure you are getting enough B vitamins, particularly folate, B6 and B12. Vitamins D and C as well as zinc and magnesium are also important for emotional health. To make sure you are getting enough of these vitamins and minerals consider taking a multivitamin every day. But also remember too much of a good thing isn't always a good thing, so stick to recommended doses.

There are a few herbal supplements that have shown to help improve mood in a variety of people, particularly things like rhodiola rosea extract and St John's wart.

Fats

Some research suggest that an imbalance in certain fats, particularly omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, may create a higher risk of depression. Modern average diets are typically high in omega-6 fatty acids but low in omega-3 fatty acids. Foods high in omega-6 fatty acids include meat, eggs and refined grains, so you may want to cut down on these types of foods. Foods high in mood-boosting omega-3 fatty acids include flax seeds, nuts and fish so you may want to add more of these to your regular diet to help improve your mood.

Exercise

Getting regular exercise can help your body produce brain chemicals that improve mood. You don't even need to participate in an intense exercise, a brisk 20 minute walk should be enough to help your body produce these feel-good chemicals. Find an exercise that you enjoy and will do regularly to help elevate your mood on a regular basis. Not only will it help your mood but it will also improve your overall health, which is another thing to feel good about.

Music

For most people listening to music is a natural mood booster. Find music you enjoy and play it while you are commuting, working around the house or exercising.

Male Menopause Is A Family Matter

2011-02-18T01:09:00.000-08:00

Male Menopause Is A Family Matter - The male mid-life is often talked about in general or humorous terms, but rarely is it ever taken seriously. Both sexes go through puberty, so too do both sexes go through the change of life. just read the Male Menopause Is A Family Matter below conversation.

"Dear Abby:

I am a 50-year-old man who has been married for 22 years. My wife and I have two wonderful teen-aged children. About six months ago, my wife's niece (I'll call her Rene), whom I had never met, came from another country to live with us so she could go to college in the United States. She is in her early 20s."

As I read Abigail Van Buren's (Dear Abby) column in my local newspaper, I thought, "Here's another family headed for a breakdown."

"For the first few months everything was fine. Now I find myself thinking about Rene all the time. I think I'm in love with her. I travel quite a bit because of my job and every time I come home it's torture. I have to act as if nothing is going on in my mind. No one knows the way I feel. If I tell my wife, she'll be crushed and it will be the end of our marriage. If I tell Rene-who has done nothing wrong and loves my wife like a mother-she may want to return to her country without finishing her studies.

"I have always tried to do the right thing. I never thought at this age I'd be feeling this way. I don't want to ruin anyone's life, including my own. What should I do?

Desperate in Delaware

Abby's response was clear and direct.

"Dear Desperate:

Although it's common for older men to fantasize about younger women, the consequences of your fantasy could irreparably damage at least five lives. Talking this out with someone you trust would be helpful. I recommend a professional therapist, who can help you assess the consequences of acting out this fantasy."

Though Abby's advice was good, I felt it didn't get to the heart of the matter. Several questions begged to be answered.What is really {going on|happening) in the lives of millions of mid-life men? How can we help our teen-age children deal with their hormonal, physical, emotional, and sexual changes when we are so confused about our own? What can we do to help families get through this difficult time of life without splitting apart? Based on my own research that culminated in the release of my book, Male Menopause, I sent my own letter to Dear Abby.

I was pleased that my letter ran under a headline for her column which appeared in newspapers all over the country - SYMPTOMS OF MALE MENOPAUSE ARE REAL

"Dear Abby,

Thank you for the sensitive response to Desperate in Delaware, a 50-year-old man with an obsessive attraction to a younger woman. I have been a psychotherapist for 35 years and have seen too many men destroy their own lives and the lives of those they love because they didn't understand the inevitable changes that go on in a man's body, mind, and spirit at mid-life.

I've found that my understanding of these issues has been greatly expanded since recognizing that men go through a form of "male menopause," generally between the ages of 40 and 55. Marc Blackman, M.D., chief of endocrinology and metabolism at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center says, 'The male menopause is a real phenomenon and it does similar things to men as menopause does to women, although less commonly and to a lesser extent.'

I believe thousands of families could be saved from splitting apart if men and women learned about the newest research findings on this crucial time of life."

More than 25 million men in the U.S. are now going through male menopause or andropause.

Erectile dysfunction affects 52% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 .

Men, like women, experience complex hormonal rhythms that affect their sexuality, mood and their physical well-being.

Emotional symptoms include irritability, worry, indecisiveness, and depression.

Physical symptoms include weight gain, sleep disturbances, short term memory loss, fatigue and weight gain.

Sexual symptoms include reduced libido, fear of sexual failure, and increased longing to "prove" he can still perform by seeking a younger partner.

Male menopause is like puberty the second time around wherea man must face issues of identity, sexuality, dependence, and independence.

Being a good parent is very challenging when a man is going through Male Menopause.

The Impact on Women

I receive hundreds of letters a week from women who are confused about what is happening to the man of the house. "I believe my husband is experiencing male menopause," this one began. "My husband attended a training course away from home for five weeks. He asked me to visit during the third week, which I did. It was like a romantic get-away for both of us. But when he returned two weeks later something had changed.

I knew something was wrong when I met him at the airport. He was very moody, said nothing was wrong, and wouldn't talk. When we made love, he found it difficult to obtain an erection and seemed angry when I tried to talk with him. Since then he's become more and more withdrawn and uncommunicative. He insists there isn't another woman involved and seemed surprised that I would even bring it up.

What really hurts is how he treats our daughter. They have always been very close, like best pals. Lately he is critical of everything she does. He snaps at her, then apologizes, and later does it all over again. She and I both feel we have to walk on egg shells. Clearly something is very wrong. Our daughter is beginning to spend more time away from home. I'm sure it's because she is so hurt by her father's sudden change of behavior. What's going on? What can I do?"

A Man Begins to See it

Jake reached out to me to tell me how he had come to understand that Male Menopause was the reason for the stress he was feeling with his family. "I'm 45 year's old and have been married to my wife for 23 years. We have four children who range in age from 9 to 19. Until recently I was the kind of Dad I had always wanted to be-involved with their lives, caring, concerned. But something changed when I hit 40. Not since I was a child did I feel such a deep-seated anger and sadness. I would yell at the kids, which I never used to do. Late at night I'd lay in bed with my wife and cry my eyes out. I couldn't believe it was me. I'm a grown man, a truck driver, for heaven's sake, throwing a tantrum like a four-year old or bawling like a baby.

I never knew that depression in men often expresses itself in anger. That was certainly the case with me. I was often irritated and grouchy and sometimes would have angry outbursts over the least little thing. I would tend to blame it on my wife or the kids. I know they began to withdraw and lose respect for me, which made me feel even worse.

One of the most difficult aspects of this time of life is the uncertainty. I question everything. I have faith in nothing. Even though I hate the way I feel, I can't seem to do anything constructive. I seem to be on a downward slide and I am destroying my family. There are times I think of killing myself. At least I wouldn't be hurting those I love the most.

I can thank my wife for helping me break out of this destructive cycle. She lovingly, but firmly encouraged me to talk to a counselor. I resisted for a long time, but finally went to see someone. It was the most important decision of my life. My family is recovering from my "mid-life crazies." I'm beginning to be a loving husband again and my kids tell me that they are glad they have their father back.

Side Bar: 12 Tips for Dealing with Male Menopause in the Family

1.Recognize that when one person in the family is having problems, it affects the entire family.

2.Just like puberty, menopause is an inevitable life passage. Be aware of the most common symptoms of Male Menopause including the following:

Loss of sexual desire for marital partner

Erectile dysfunction

Irritability and anger

Fatigue and low energy

Marital and family struggles

3.Be cognizant that both sexes often go through the "change of life" simultaneously. A great deal of mutual understanding is required to support each other.

4.Parents often go through menopause while their kids are going through adolescence. Since these stages of life are similar conflicts can arise if not understood. For instance, a dad can get upset at his daughter's emerging sexuality because he is uncomfortable with his own sexual changes.

5.Realize that Male Menopause generally appears slowly over a number of years. Symptoms may be challenging to recognize and interpret.

6.Be aware that for some men the symptoms can arise very quickly. "It seemed like one minute he was the normal, loving guy I have always known. The next minute he was moody, angry, and withdrawn," one woman told me.

7.Appreciate the fact that Male Menopause is often precipitated by changes within and without including:

Disability or death of parents, friends, or colleagues

Children leaving home

Job changes or fears of job loss

Slowing down or loss of physical abilities

Sexual dysfunction and worries about virility

Concerns about future goals and directions

Financial worries.

8.Accept that most men will initially deny they have a problem. Since male identity is shifting, even thinking such a change can be terrifying to a man.

9.Understand that there are a number of steps to accepting and dealing with Male Menopause:

Step 1: There is no problem here.

Step 2: If there is a problem here it must be you who has it. You need help.

Step 3: If there's some problem with me, it is minor. (I just need to relax more).

Step 4: If the problem may be more serious, I can handle it myself.

Step 5: Even if I need help, there's no one would understand.

Step 6: If someone understands I need help, I just want him to give me a quick fix (like changing the fluids in my car) and get me back on track.

Step 7: I guess I'm more complicated than my car and I may need support with hormonal, physical, emotional, interpersonal, sexual, social, economic, and spiritual aspects of my life.

10.Accept the fact that most medical professionals don't understand or accept the concept of Male Menopause. Research on Male Menopause is still about 30 years behind research on menopause in women.

11.Realize that the predominantly male medical establishment is caught it its own denial. Surveys have shown a higher acceptance of the concept of a Male Menopause among female physicians than their male counterparts.

12.Rejoice in the fact the Male Menopause can be treated through a variety of treatments including:

Hormone replacement

Exercise and diet

Herbs and medications

Stress reduction, relaxation, and body centered therapies

Cognitive and psychotherapeutic support

Couples and family therapy.

Overcoming Chest Acne

2010-12-18T12:23:00.000-08:00

Overcoming Chest Acne - Chest acne is a very common problem among people caused mostly by the same reasons which cause facial acne. The over production of an oil called sebum by the sebaceous glands lead to chest acne. This can be due to several reasons like hormonal imbalances, skin not being washed frequently during summer, bad clothing or excessive use of lotions, deodorants etc.

Chest acne most of the time appears like facial acne with forms of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads or cysts which sometimes can be very annoying and painful.

In order to overcome chest acne there are some things you need to do:

• First of all you have to wash the affected area every time you are in the shower. You have to use a mild soap which must be oil-free. You must be gentle with your skin. Avoid over washing or scrubbing because they may increase irritation and inflammation of your skin.
• Apart from that you need to use an appropriate medication. You could ask your doctor about a cream but keep in mind the best products on the market are those which contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. You better apply the cream twice a day.
• Also in order to deal with chest acne you must be careful with your clothing. You need to wear breathable fabrics like cotton and avoid tight-fitting clothing which may cause more acne break outs.
• Try not to use creams or lotions on your chest because they lead to more clogged pores and chest acne.
• Changing your diet is a must. Inappropriate diet can aggravate your acne problem. You need to remove from your diet all the known acne-aggravators like soda, refined sugar (cookies, ice creams etc), caffeine and soft drinks. In addition you need to eat more fruits and vegetables and drink a lot of water (8 glasses). Also you should increase your consumption of vitamins like A,B,E and Zinc which are known acne-fighters.
• Finally but not least you must avoid touching your chest acne because you may transfer bacteria to it. Also try to sleep at least 8 hours every day.

If you can't follow that treatment you could use some of the natural home remedies for acne. Sometimes in order to see the first results you may have to wait for 6 weeks.

2 Foods That Could Make You Allergic

2010-08-24T14:56:00.000-07:00

2 Foods That Could Make You Allergic - The number of people suffering from allergic reactions is increasing every year. More people are suffering from severe allergic conditions such as asthma, hay fever and eczema. Many more people also suffer from less severe conditions such as a runny nose and skin rashes. There is no clear proof that these conditions are caused by one single factor. It is more likely caused by a combination of various factors that include our lifestyle, the environment and the diet we eat. 2 Foods That Could Make You Allergic There is growing evidence however, that links certain foods with increasing your risk to allergic reactions. The most common 2 food types are as follows:

Diary Products:

Cows milk in particular has been linked as the most common food that can cause allergic reactions in people. Cows milk is contained in a huge range of foods that include, butter, cheese, bread, cream and yoghurt. Cows milk is also used as an added ingredient in many processed foods. The main reason why milk is considered to have a high allergic reaction is because the proteins in the milk are very difficult for the body to digest. If you have an allergic reaction to cows milk, try and eliminate all cows milk from your diet for a month and see if it makes any difference to your condition. It is considered that goat's milk is easier for the body to digest. You can also try milk substitutes such as rice or soya milk.

Yeast:

This food substance is also found in a huge range of different foods and drinks. When people think of yeast they think of it being used in bread to make it rise. But there are forms of yeast that are also used in the production of beer which is better known as brewers yeast. Yeast can also be used in the production of wine but to a lesser extent.
People who have an intolerance to yeast usually have an adverse reaction when they drink alcohol especially, beer. If you have drunk beer and felt unwell you may have intolerance to brewers yeast. This does not mean you have to give up alcohol as not all alcohol uses brewers yeast. For example, vodka and champagne have less yeast in them.
Bread of course uses yeast and many people can become allergic by eating bread. However, bread also contains another allergic ingredient which is wheat. This could also be the culprit. To test if you are allergic to either yeast or wheat eat some bread and monitor your reaction. Then later on eat some pasta. If you feel bloated and tired after eating the bread but there was no reaction after eating the pasta this is a good indication that you maybe allergic to yeast

The extract you get from it serves as your astringent. Remember to cool it though. What’s good about this is that it occurs naturally and even the process it has undergone is all natural. You can be assured it is less harsh compared with commercially-produced astringents.

2. Commercially Produced Astringents

There is no doubt that astringents we can buy over-the-counter are also effective. There are lots of variants to choose from with additional ingredients that promote better skin. The only downside is it can be a little harsh because of the chemicals added to produce this formula. Use them with extra care as they can dry the skin.

3. All-Natural Treatments

Kitchen and acne are two enemies we may not be aware of. Scout your kitchen for stuff like oranges and lemons, fresh garlic and raw potatoes.

- Oranges and lemons just need to be squeezed on cotton balls. Apply the extract on affected areas and wash it after about 20 minutes.

- Fresh garlic is used much easier. Just remove its peeling and rub it on your face.

- As for raw potatoes, peel them and rub its flat surface on your face.

The natural extracts from these fruits and vegetables can help minimize the redness at the same time can clean the skin.

4. Oral Antibiotics

They also decrease the exasperating chemicals that the white blood cells produce. Lastly, antibiotics diminish the concentration of the free fatty acids found in sebum, also creating an anti-inflammatory action. Consult your dermatologist for the right antibiotic and dosage.

Tetracycline is still the most commonly prescribed antibiotic for acne treatment. Most of this antibiotic should be taken on an empty stomach. Also, this shouldn’t be used by pregnant women and children under 9. Usually, the starting dose is initially 500 milligrams twice daily and is continuously taken until prescribed, or until a considerable dropping off of lesions is visible.

Erythromycin comes close second and can be prescribed to pregnant women. However, it can cause nausea and even upset stomach. Compared to tetracycline, which can only kill bacteria, Erythromycin has both anti-inflammatory and bacteria-killing properties. Also, this antibiotic needs to be taken in a food-filled tummy. You may discuss other possible antibiotics with your doctors regarding the effects and side-effects of each.

5. Topical Treatments
Externally applied creams are also proven effective for acne treatment. However, it results to drying and flaking but it is said to be the most effective treatment for severe acne. Benzoyl peroxide is one very common and effective topical acne treatment.

The Tinnitus Treatment for Healthiness

2010-03-12T07:30:00.000-08:00

End Tinnitus for Healthiness, Tinnitus, an incessant ringing, swooshing, humming, or other sound in the ears with no outside source, is fairly common and is known to affect almost 2 percent of the population. More people have an occasional bout with tinnitus. If your tinnitus is severe and constant, you do want to find a “cure” and end your tinnitus, which can be maddening.

The first step in ending tinnitus is to find the cause of it. Tinnitus is often times a symptom of something else going on in your body. Eliminating the cause will most often, end the tinnitus.

Some common causes of temporary tinnitus are colds, sinus infections, and ear infections. Tinnitus brought on by these types of infections will probably clear up as soon as the infection is gone.

Medications, either prescription or over-the-counter, may be the cause of your tinnitus. Consult with your doctor over the possibility that the medications you are taking could be causing the tinnitus. A reduction or change in medication may eliminate the tinnitus, but do consult your physician before stopping or reducing a prescribed medicine.

Caffeine and alcohol have often been proven to aggravate tinnitus. Stress and worry, extreme tiredness and sleeplessness are also common causes. Be careful with aspirin and other over-the-counter pain killers as these have been known to cause tinnitus. Cutting down on caffeine and aspirin may end your tinnitus; stress reduction techniques may help end stress related tinnitus.

One common and more permanent cause of tinnitus is damage to the inner ear. This can be caused by exposure to loud noises over a period of time. If it is necessary for you to be around such noises such as jack hammers, heavy machinery, airplane engines or other loud noises, you should wear ear protecting gear. Loud music such a rock concerts can also be the culprit if one is exposed to them often and long enough. A thorough exam by an audiologist will pinpoint the cause and various solutions can be applied at the doctor’s recommendation to end tinnitus.

Other causes of tinnitus can be injuries to the head or neck or even high or low blood pressure. The ear is made up of the outer, middle, and inner ear. Blood vessels which flow to all ear areas may be damaged in such a way that the blood flow is erratic. Correcting the blood pressure may end one’s tinnitus.

A medical professional can help you determine the cause of your tinnitus. . Otalaryngologists and audiologists are ear and hearing specialists who can aid in determining the cause of your tinnitus. They will know best how to eliminate the cause and thus reduce, or entirely eliminate, one’s tinnitus.

Unfortunately, hearing loss is a common problem as we age. If your tinnitus is age related with the hearing loss that often accompanies aging, a hearing aid may be a solution. There are also masking techniques (electronic devices) that can cover up (or mask) one’s tinnitus if eliminating it entirely is not possible.

If you are experiencing tinnitus severe enough to really bother you, do find out what you can about tinnitus. Some tinnitus comes and goes and you don’t really think about it until it happens again. Intermittent tinnitus is usually easily “cured” once you know the cause.

Don’t feel alone with your tinnitus! Thirty six million people are sufferers from tinnitus One to two percent of people experience tinnitus severe enough to interfere with their lives.

Understand what tinnitus is and what its causes may be. Tinnitus as a warning sign of some terrible disease is rare. Your cause may be something as simple as a buildup of the naturally occurring wax in your ear.

Think about how often you notice your tinnitus, the sound or pitch you hear, and any activity that may relate to when your tinnitus occurs. This will help you and your medical professional discover how to end YOUR tinnitus on nowGoogle.com adalah Multiple Search Engine Popular!

A Kind of Medicine in Your System

2010-03-09T09:56:00.000-08:00

A Kind of Medicine in Your System this we talking today about A Kind of Medicine in Your System, after this blog following the SEO contest nowGoogle.com adalah Multiple Search Engine Popular we focus on this blog again before we get whos the winner.

Zocor is an over-the-counter prescription drug that is prescribed as part of the daily diet of patients suffering from high cholesterol. High cholesterol may lead patients to CHD or coronary heart disease if it is unwitting attached with other complications like diabetes, other prior heart condition, stroke, and / or vascular disease. Zocor helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke, helps reduce the need for revascularization procedures (i.e. by-pass surgeries), and ultimately, helps reduce the risk of coronary heart disease mortality. Its generic name is simvastatin, and it is an agent that lowers the number of lipids in the system. Zocor is only prescribed by doctors to patients whose cholesterol level cannot be controlled by a change of lifestyle (i.e. adherence to a specified diet and more exercise.)

Why is Zocor being administered?

Let's back-pedal a bit and find out why doctors prescribe Zocor in the first place.

Lipids are essentially fat, oil or wax substances. These substances are also known as bad cholesterol. They flow through the blood vessels and deposit themselves in the arterial walls of our hearts. These bad cholesterols then harden into plaques which eventually narrow the arteries. This surprisingly common disorder is called Atherosclerosis.

Now, if bad cholesterol still cannot be controlled and the plaques develop clots or if the coronary arteries become too narrow, oxygen-rich blood stalls or stops. Patients then have to go through surgical procedures ranging from by-pass surgeries to heart transplants. In the most extreme cases, the patient's heart fails: this is known as coronary death.

Things your doctor should know

Zocor isn't a drug suitable for everyone. Although it is considered relatively safe, there are reports of rare but serious side effects like muscle pain and inexplicable weakness after ingestion. Zocor may also react adversely to other medications in your system. So inform your doctor immediately if he prescribes or if you request Zocor as treatment.

Advise your doctor if you have: alcohol problem, blood salt imbalance, episodes of seizures or convulsions, hormonal disorders such as diabetes and under-active thyroid, infections of any kind, kidney disease, lactating or breastfeeding at the moment, liver disease, low blood pressure, muscle disorder or condition, pregnant or trying to get pregnant, prior or recent severe injury, recent surgery including dental surgery, and finally, if you have an unusual or allergic reaction to simvastatin, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives.

Also advise your doctor is you are taking one or more of the following drugs, as these can affect Zocor's effectiveness: amprenavir, atazanavir, clarithromycin, delavirdine, erythromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, lopinavir; mibefradil, nefazodone, nelfinavir ritonavir, and saquinavir.

These medications or cocktail of medications also affect Zocor, namely: amiodarone, barbiturates (i.e. phenobarbital, butalbital, primidone,) bosentan, carbamazepine, cyclosporine, danazol, digoxin, diltiazem, efavirenz, fluconazole, medicines that lower cholesterol or triglycerides (i.e. fenofibrate, gemfibrozil, niacin,) medicines used to stop early pregnancy (i.e. mifepristone, RU-486,) nicardipine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, rifabutin, or rifapentine, telithromycin, troleandomycin, verapamil, voriconazole, and warfarin.

Studies show that even the innocuous grapefruit reacts to Zocor, as with alcohol and red yeast rice.

This lengthy list of drugs and medications are to serve the discerning Zocor user to an informed choice when it comes to managing his cholesterol count. After all, it isn't the doctor's heart that is on the line.

Stress - Tips mengobati Stress

2010-01-27T00:24:00.002-08:00

i just stress with the Seo Contes nowGoogle.com adalah Multiple Search Engine Popular.

Stress is defined as the body’s reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response. Any situation or thought that generates a feeling of frustration, anger, nervousness or anxiety can lead to stress. In modern society, where people are always competing against each other and trying to achieve so much in their life, almost everybody is said to be suffering from some amount of stress. But stress is not always bad. Some amount of stress in life is actually necessary as it motivates you to perform better. However, you should never allow stress to grow beyond a point where it breaks you down. Therefore, the key to leading a happy life is learning to manage stress effectively. In case, you suffer from situations which are bound to be stressful such as a loss of a loved one, divorce or a loss of a job, you can enrol yourself for stress relief treatment and take control of your life for your Healthiness.

Stress and illnesses

Stress is the root cause of many illnesses. Every year millions of people lose their life because of heart disease, strokes and various forms of cancers caused primarily because of stress. Besides, stress is the root cause of many stomach problems such as constipation or diarrhoea that can eventually lead to serious conditions such as ulcers. Headache and migraine can also be caused because of stress. Your skin may also get affected because of stress. Chronis stress is also known to weaken the immune system which makes you prone to frequent colds and upper respiratory infections. Stress can also cause depression and various types of anxiety disorders.

Stress management

Stress management is mainly the ability to take control of your emotions and reactions when situations, people and events make excessive demands. Your attitude towards a stressful situation plays an important role in successful stress management. Usually, people who have a negative attitude will report more stress than people with a positive attitude to life.

If you keep a record of situations that cause you stress, you’ll notice that a lot of stress in life can be avoided by simply altering the way you perceive that particular situation. The other effective way to reduce stress is through better time management. For instance, by making a habit of reaching a few minutes prior to the scheduled time can help you reduce a lot of stress in life. Taking a well-balanced diet at regular intervals and regular physical exercise can also help you calm down and thereby reduce the stress in your life.

Stress relief treatment

If you are reeling under the pressure of stress and find it tough to manage it on your own, it is time you take some stress relief treatment. You may try practising yoga and other forms of meditation to calm yourself. You can spend more time in pursuits such as music, painting, dancing, sports or anything that interests you. Most importantly, do not become a silent recluse. Find someone that supports you. Somebody in your family or your friends will be willing to help you come out of stress. If you are still unable to come out of stress, take help from a counsellor who can help you take control of your life and live positively.

Natural Beauty Tips - Get Younger Looking Skin

2010-01-24T00:24:00.000-08:00

In spite of the tremendous breadth of chemical-based cosmetics and skin care products on the market many women prefer using natural, herbal or home-made products to achieve younger-looking skin. This is because the skin care products available today consist of dangerous chemicals that can have a detrimental effect on your skin in the long term. Home-made beauty remedies are not only inexpensive but also consist of natural ingredients that are completely safe for daily use. Read on to know how you can get a healthier and younger-looking skin effortlessly.

Natural beauty tips and remedies

The application of moisturizing skin lotions and creams boosts the production of collagen in your skin and enhances its firmness and elasticity. Daily use of a home-made cucumber lotion soothes and revitalizes your skin. This lotion can be prepared by boiling pieces of cucumber in half a litre of water, letting it simmer for 5 minutes and filtering the liquid. This lotion can be stored in your refrigerator for about 10 days and should be applied with cotton wool.

Cucumber is also known to reduce the appearance of under eye dark circles. Put a slice of cucumber on your eyelids and relax for 15 minutes as it banishes your dark circles. Apple slices can be substituted for cucumber, but they need to be really juicy in order to be effective. Soak a compress in chamomile tea and put it under your eyes to get rid of dark circles and puffiness. Exposure to cold and dry weather can give you rough, chapped lips. Apply some almond oil before going to bed for soft supple lips in the morning.

Make your own natural make-up removing lotion with the help of lemon or orange juice, sweet almond oil and petroleum jelly. Mix these ingredients thoroughly for a creamy rejuvenating facial lotion. Make natural honey-based beauty milk at home with 20 centiliters of milk and a single tablespoon of honey. Mix these ingredients thoroughly and apply it on your face twice a day. This beauty milk can be stored in your refrigerator for about 8 days.

Apart from these external beauty treatments, the best way to keep your skin looking young and fresh is to increase your intake of nutritive foods. Multigrain bread, for instance, provides your body with a lot of selenium that eliminates free radicals. This boosts collagen production and gives you younger-looking skin from within. Oats are rich in silicic acid that produces the sponge-like cells that exist between your skin fibres and collagen. Eating more oats reduces fine lines and plumps up your skin for added youthfulness.

Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and sardine contain high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids are responsible for forming prostaglandins that keep your skin hydrated. Lean steak supplies your body with certain essential nutrients. If you don’t like steak, try increasing your intake of oily fish or dark turkey meat. Crab is a rich source of copper which decreases the appearance of age spots-a tell-tale sign of ageing.

A healthy lifestyle that incorporates a balanced diet and plenty of exercise is essential for naturally healthy, younger-looking skin.

Get a Thin Stomach with 4 Tips

2009-10-15T23:38:00.000-07:00

Check out this. Learning how to get a thin stomach is not going to be an easy road. You will have times when your methods don't seem to work, and giving up seems like the only option. The important thing is letting these small actions become your regular routine. This way, you'll be able to maintain your weight and a flat stomach for a very long time - in fact, forever.

These steps are the following:

1. Quit beer and sodas

Bulging tummies won't be called beer bellies for nothing. Sodas and beers are always tempting, more so in the company of family and friends. It is important to realize that they are high in calories. It's the same thing with sodas and some of them have more than 200 calories.

The first step to learn how to get a thin stomach without much strain, is to say a strict 'no' to beverages. When you want alternatives, choose a red wine as a healthier option for your heart healthy. But you still shouldn't drink more than one or two shots.

2. Workout

If you can do this only if you plan to exercise routines that are intended to target the stomach. These exercised can help you gain muscle mass, although they are unlikely to really enable you to get rid of fat. The toned muscles will be the one to pull the fat in, so it would no longer become very obvious.

3. Walk

Walking is a very simple yet highly effective exercise. This is just about 30 minutes for a short brisk walk, already, you can burn many calories. Walking doesn't require any special machines or equipment. In addition, this is an excuse to go outside.

4. Eating

You are getting fat because you're eating a lot of starchy, sugary, and fatty foods. The only way that you can reduce fat in the stomach is when you can reduce your servings of these kinds of food. If you try a little more, you can fully eliminate them from your diet.

Instead, you can increase in taking foods like grains, fruits and vegetables which are rich in fiber. Remove the excess waste in the digestive system of accommodation that you get them. You should also watch out how you can make your food. Frying them constantly means you are also eating in oil and try to grill or steam your dishes now and again. If you still like to fry, opt for polyunsaturated oils instead. nowGoogle.com adalah multiple search engine popular

manage stress to improve eyesight

2009-09-16T21:43:00.000-07:00

manage stress to improve eyesight, Researchers define stress as a physical, mental, or emotional response to events that causes bodily or mental tension. Simply put, stress is any outside force or event that has an effect on our body or mind.

Depending on the stressors and the types of changes or events we are dealing with, stress can manifest itself physically, emotionally and/or mentally.

Physical – this occurs when the body as a whole starts to suffer as a result of a stressful situation. Symptoms can manifest in a variety of ways and vary in their seriousness.

The most common physical symptom is headaches because stress causes people to unconsciously tense their neck, forehead and shoulder muscles. However long-term stress can lead to digestive problems including ulcers, insomnia, fatigue, high blood pressure, nervousness and excessive sweating, heart disease, strokes and even hair loss

The concept of managing stress is much easy to say then to do. While some people are pros at stress management; other people can only take a little bit before they start screaming and pulling out their hair. Stress happens each and every day so learning how to best deal with the stress is an important and necessary step.

The first step in managing stress is discovering what it is that is stressing you out. If you have no idea what is causing stress, it is really hard to find solutions to the problems. For almost every problem there is a solution. If you are always late, start setting the clocks ahead 10-15 minutes. If you’re to do list is overwhelming, cut out the things that are not top priority and deal with them at a later date. If traffic gets you going, take a new route to work that is less crowded.

Work is almost always the number one stressor in people’s lives. Most people feel overwhelmed with the amount of work they always have, but never ask for help and always take on more. Learn to say no. Saying no isn’t going to get your fired; it tells your boss you are aware of your limits and you have just reached them. It is better to complete five amazing projects, then seven or eight mediocre ones. If the work load is too much, talk to your boss or co-workers and let them know you need help.

Simple relaxation techniques can help reduce the stress in your live. Take deep breaths. Close your eyes for a few moments and allow them to relax. Look around and away from the computer a three or four times an hour. Too much strain or stress on the eyes will only cause vision problems later.

Practice giving half a dozen rapid and very light blinks, shut the eyes lightly for the space of two whole breaths, and repeat four times. This little routine, practiced regularly, twice or more a day, will, especially if followed by a brief spell of palming, help to establish the correct tone in the muscles of the eyelids and develop better habits of blinking. No more than a few seconds should pass between one blink and the next. As a very rough guide, between two and four blinks in each period of ten seconds is about right.

H1N1 Vaccine Ready For Distribution

2009-09-03T00:52:00.000-07:00

Whether you know it or not, our nation’s health care system is gearing up for a fight with the H1N1 flu this fall. Health officials estimate that as students return to school, the number of infections could increase by ten-fold every two weeks. This has led authorities to expedite vaccine research and production. Right now, the target date for vaccine distribution is mid-October. However, the vaccine is still under testing. For example, it is as yet unclear what the exact dosage should be. Some experts, including Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, believe that in order to prevent infections from skyrocketing the vaccine should get the go ahead and be used even though full testing is not completed. Just as many experts say we should not risk using the vaccine without full and proper testing. What is agreed upon are who should get the first doses of the vaccine - namely, high risk groups that include pregnant women, health care and emergency personnel, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months, people 6 months to 24 years old, and people age 25 to 64 who are at high risk due to chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.

Colon Cancer | Symptoms and Methods of Treatment

2009-09-01T23:44:00.000-07:00

According to the latest facts, over 145,000 people are diagnosed with colon cancer symptoms each year. Colorectal is a cancerous condition that affects the organs of the digestive system and rectum. The body's primary digestive systems is made up of a large intestinal tract and colon.

Hence, the name colorectal. Combined these two organs have the responsibility of digesting food and extracting minerals and vitamins for the blood-stream where they are distributed to other parts of the body promoting nutritional health.

Symptoms include a wide variety of signs that indicate problems may be developing. Screening for early detection will play a significant role in helping you to overcome. Symptoms can include serious pain in your abdominal region, loss of appetite, blood in your bowel movements, feeling weak and fatigued, ongoing diarrhea, or prolonged constipation.

While these are not all inclusive symptoms, if you have chronic signs as these, you should consult with your doctor for further screening. The signs could be an indication of something entirely different such as something less serious, but nonetheless, should be treated.

Doctors use different methods to diagnose colon or colorectal cancer. The screening process involves a series of tests to evaluate this condition. The first and most common is a rectum exam where the doctor inserts a finger into the rectum to feel for lumps or growths. This is usually followed by a fecal test where stool samples are taken and analyzed for abnormalities.

If abnormalities are detected, a more advanced method may be employed such as the use of digital imaging that uses a variety of technological imaging devices to see inside the body. This can include MRI's, CT's, Colonoscopy, and even Ultrasounds. A biopsy may be required once the findings of abnormalities are confirmed.

Treatment can be intrusive or non-intrusive depending on the treatment plan your doctor designs for your treatment. The stage of colorectal cancer greatly determines the methods of treating cancer in the colon. Surgery is the most common treatment. Here affected sections of the intestines are simply removed. Depending on how large a section is removed will determine if the patient has to have a colostomy - where a stoma is inserted and body waste products are passed through to a bag and discarded.

Non-intrusive treatments can involve radiation therapy, chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, or Electrofulgeration. Each can be discussed with your doctor and each may have its own side effects. Prescription medications may be taken to help alleviate pain after surgery. Use the resources on the Internet site to find information on prevention, find pictures, understand the colon cancer stages, types of rectal carcinomas (cancer de colon), and find alternative treatments.

Levitra impotence treatment

2009-08-26T20:38:00.000-07:00

Levitra is by and large considered a safe and effective impotence treatment. However, not all men can take Levitra partly because of their health conditions and partly because of the medications they take. Certain conditions and medications make it dangerous for you to take any impotence treatment, even if it is as safe as Levitra. Do not take Levitra from an illicit source or borrow it from a friend, as you might never know but an underlying health condition that you have might make it dangerous for you to take Levitra.

Find out below why certain conditions and medications make it dangerous for you to take Levitra.

Levitra and certain conditions

Certain conditions make it impossible for you to take Levitra. You should not take Levitra if you have cardiovascular disease or significant heart disease risk factors. Levitra increases the chance of heart, brain and blood pressure problems in some cases leading to heart attack, stroke or sudden death. If you have a history of heart problem or witness any during sexual activity, consult a doctor immediately. Levitra is a Category B drug, which means that it has not been studied in pregnant or lactating women and hence, they should not take Levitra. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Levitra including its active ingredient vardenafil, you should not take Levitra.

Levitra and possible interactions with certain drugs

Levitra can possibly interact with certain medicines. Find out below why it is unsafe to take certain medications with Levitra:

- Alpha Blockers

During clinical studies of Levitra, it was found that when men who took alpha-blockers for the treatment of high blood pressure or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the blood pressure fell to dangerously low levels, followed by symptoms such as light-headedness, dizziness, or fainting when standing up from either a sitting or lying position. Sometimes some doctors recommend lower dose of Levitra if you take alpha-blockers, however this depends on the seriousness of your health problem.

Alfuzosin
Doxazosin
Prazosin
Tamsulosin
Terazosin

- Nitrates

Medications that are used for angina or chest pain, can cause hypotension (dangerously low blood pressure), if taken with Levitra. If you use nitrates for recreational purposes, more famously known as poppers, you should not take Levitra.

Isosorbide dinitrate
Isosorbide mononitrate
Nitroglycerin

- Arrhythmia Medicine

This medication is prescribed to people who have an abnormal heart rhythm. If you take Levitra with arrhythmia medicine, you stand a risk for a dangerous condition known as QT prolongation.

Amiodarone
Quinidine
Procainamide
Sotalol

- Certain antibiotics or antifungal drugs

These drugs are known to increase the level of Levitra in the blood, thereby causing overdose like effects. You experience more side effects of Levitra, which would normally arise only if you take higher dose of Levitra. If you have to take these drugs or some reason, your doctor may prescribe the lowest possible dose of Levitra, so that you don’t experience any side effects.

Clarithromycin
Erythromycin
Isoniazid
Itraconazole
Ketoconazole
Miconazole
Telithromycin

- Protease inhibitors

Protease inhibitors are meant for HIV infection. They can also increase the level of Levitra in blood, so a doctor may prescribe lower dose for impotence treatment.

Amprenavir
Atazanavir
Fosamprenavir
Indinavir
Nelfinavir
Ritonavir
Saquinavir

- Grapefruit Juice

Though grapefruit juice is not a medicine, it is not advisable to take it with Levitra. It is possible that grapefruit or grapefruit juice can increase the level of Levitra, thereby increasing probability and intensity of side effects.

Other Levitra information

As Levitra comes in low doses as compared to other impotence treatment drugs such as Viagra and Cialis, most people experience no side effects. Men who experience side effects on taking other two drugs, experience no unpleasant effects and hence Levitra is considered the safest impotence treatment. However, it is important to keep in mind that even if it is safe for majority of men, it might not be so in your case because of your prevailing health condition.

Herbal Remedies For Your Stress

2009-08-24T20:18:00.000-07:00

A stress victim, by contrast, fails to adapt to pressures and problems as well as he might. For example he may habitually bundle unpaid bills into a drawer and try to forget about them or lose his temper and call his wife extravagant or even fanatically write out a cherub the minute each new bill arrives.

Holistic medicine shows us that understanding the patient is more important than the disease- causing agent, and the condition must be treated after due consideration is given to individual characteristics and symptoms. While this applies to all situations it is more pertinent when it comes to managing stress with medication. Some people facing stress-related problems may recover better when treated with herbal remedies, massage or dietary modifications, while others may need to take tranquilizers and undergo psychoanalysis.

t is easy to fall prey to stress without even knowing it. Personal stress can be a result of relationship issues, family conflict, financial concerns etc. Workplace stress can be due to too great a workload for the one person and low morale due to downsizing & cost cutting or tense personal relations with co-workers or superiors. With all these outside factors playing a role it is important to indentify and then adopt a plan of action for personal stress management.

Basically the mind becomes aware of the position and the body then prepares to face the perceived danger by supplying more energy. This response is commonly called the more fight or flight response. Unfortunately, the response is a holdover from an age when the danger was an actual matter of life and death. Today the fight or flight response is triggered in store checkout lines, classrooms, offices, and traffic jams where there is not an opportunity to fight or run away, and herbal stress relief can help. Once the brain becomes aware of a situation a complex series of hormonal secretions begin.

Work Stress can be clear as any physiological or Psychological stress caused at the work place or due to the nature of the work Stress at work or on job stress has been one of the very important causes for various ailments including Heart Attack, Depression and Anxiety. Short-term stress can occur for any number of reasons: school exam, job interview, or hunger. Delayed stress is often referred to as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. War, the death of a family member or friend, and rape are a few reasons delayed stress may occur. Prolonged or chronic anxiety or pressure can be the result of difficulties at home, work, or financial problems.

The Autism

2009-08-23T01:43:00.000-07:00

The term autism was first coined in the year 1911 by Eugen Bleuler who was a psychiatrist from Switzerland.

Autism is a disorder in the development of the brain where the person suffers from impaired abilities of communication and social interaction. Autism has no cure and will follow the person throughout their natural lives.

It is generally recognized by the parents of a child within two years of age. The important thing about autism is that there is not one thing in particular that can be called a symptom of it. There are numerous things that point to the fact that a child may be autistic. These signs are things like lack of social development which relates to Autism Spectrum Disorders also known as ASD. The indicators of this are that an autistic child will seldom make eye contact, will be less responsive to social stimuli and is less likely to respond to his/her name. They also exhibit communication by manipulating others. Another indicator is that the autistic child has a noticeable lag in the development of speech. The development of their natural speech is often not enough to help them even through daily communication. One thing that may be displayed under this category is that when you point at something, the child is more likely to look at your hand, which is pointing, rather than look at what you are pointing to. Autistic children find it difficulty to play imaginative games and associate/ develop languages through symbols.

Repetitive behavior is also an indicator of autism. The things that would be considered such would be rocking the body, making sounds and flapping the hands. They will also have sign like an aversion to changes like moving of furniture and dislike at being interrupted. They will have fixed “habits” and will do things exactly the same way. The behavior will seem compulsive and should not be taken lightly as another part of repetitive behavior is that about 30% of autistic people indulge in actions that can lead to harms to self like banging the head, pinching the skin or poking the eye. Some of the more rare indications of autism are various abilities like excellent memory where the person may be able to remember trivia to an amazing detail. Another such sign would be great skills in perception and attention.

The problem of autism is not only a drain of the person affected by but also on those around them, the family. The treatment of this is not a common one as it is highly dependant on the child/person and will vary however the main goal of all efforts made are to provide the person with independence and functionality.

Things like structured teaching, social skills, speech and language therapy, etc have been know to help. Along with this drugs like anti depressants and stimulants may also be given to the person. The thing to remember is that no matter what treatment is followed it will not be of use till the person has the love and support of his/her family and loved ones

Fighting Wrinkles

2009-08-19T19:51:00.000-07:00

As you near your 40s, you are going to start noticing wrinkles on your face. Even if you have been as careful as possible with your skin, using only the best organic products, this is the time when wrinkles normally appear. The good news about wrinkles is that you can limit their appearance with the right products and skin care tactics.

What Causes Wrinkles

As we age, the cells in our epidermis, or the top skin layer, become thin. They also begin to let more moisture escape from the skin, leading to dryness, which can cause wrinkles. The dermis, or second layer, also thins. As it does, it produces less collagen, a material that keeps the skin elastic. This causes the skin to sag and wrinkle. The bottom layer of the skin also contributes to wrinkles. This layer is made up of fat cells, and these fat cells get smaller as we age. Normally, these fat cells will fill in any damage in the other skin layers, but when they begin to shrink, they cannot do this, so wrinkles become even more noticeable.

Two Types of Wrinkles

There are two main types of wrinkles on your skin. Some are produced by the movement of the skin, while others are present even when the skin is resting. The wrinkles that occur when the skin is at rest are the ones that can be fought.

Fighting the Sun

The sun is one of your worst enemies as you work to fight wrinkles. The "crow's feet" that many people develop around their eyes are a direct result of overexposure to sun, and these can be minimized with proper sun protection. Apply sunscreen to your face, getting as close to the eye as is safe, and wear sunglasses to prevent squinting. Wear sunscreen daily on all exposed skin, whether or not the weather is warm. Remember, the sun can damage your skin when it is below the freezing point just as easily as it can when you are spending a warm day on the beach.

Keep Moisturized

Many wrinkles are caused by dry skin, and skin gets drier as we age. To help fight these wrinkles, always apply a moisturizer after cleansing your skin. Use organic moisturizers with wrinkle-fighting ingredients to maximize your results.

Add Alpha Hydroxy Acids to Your Life

Alpha Hydroxy Acids, or AHAs, are one of the most popular organic skin care products used to fight wrinkles. These acids, which come from sugar cane, acidic fruits, and sour milk, all of which are organic, natural ingredients, are believed to reduce fine lines that are present when the skin is at rest. Many products containing AHAs are available that can be used to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. They work by removing much of the dead skin cell and oil build up in these fine lines, and they also are believed to thicken the skin by increasing the substances found in the dermis.

Overall Healthy Living Fights Wrinkles

Believe it or not, your exercise routine and diet have a direct effect on the wrinkles you will have as you get older. When you exercise, your body takes in more oxygen and releases more toxins. Exercise also increase circulation, which makes your skin much more healthy.

Additionally, the food that you eat contributes to your overall health. Increasing your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly those that are high in vitamin C, can help postpone the appearance of wrinkles. Taking a supplement that has other antioxidants like vitamins A, B, and E will also help fight wrinkles. Avoid too much refined sugar, because it attacks collagen and leads to more wrinkles. Also, avoid an over consumption of alcohol, as this can cause your face to swell, stretching the skin. This will cause wrinkles when the skin returns to normal.

Wrinkles may be a natural part of the aging process, but as you enter your 40s, you do not have to give up the fight altogether. With quality organic products, a healthy lifestyle, and good sun protection, you can keep your youthful skin looking youthful for several more years. for details of skin care treatment click here

The Best Diet Pills Hoodia Gordonii

2009-08-17T22:28:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered what Hoodia is all about?

Let's explore a few things about Hoodia.Hoodia Gordonii (or Hoodia Gordoni as it's sometimes referred to) comes from the Hoodia Gordonii plant. It's also sometimes referred to as the hoodia cactus plant. It grows in the South African Kalahari desert.

It's been used for, literally, for hundreds of years as an appetite suppressant by the San tribe of South Africa.It was eaten by the San tribe during famine to avoid excessive thirst and hunger. They would also eat it on journeys where there would be very little food available to avoid becoming too hungry or thirsty.

It has since been discovered that hoodia pills work by the presence of the P57 molecule. The P57 molecule 'tricks' the brain into thinking you're full. With a natural feeling of fullness, your desire to eat is lessened, and your daily caloric intake is reduced.

A few reasons why the hoodia pill should be considered in a weight loss program:

- For those who eat from an emotional need, Hoodia Gordonii is a great answerWhen taking Hoodia, because of the feeling of fullness it provides, most people say they do not have a desire for food. Some have even reported they don't think about food or eating.

For these people, weight gain can be more from eating because of boredom, or even emotional needs, instead of actually being hungry. If you feel full and satisfied, it's easier to both make healthier food choices, and eat less.This will certainly contribute to overall vitality and health.

- The higher quality hoodia pills contain natural ingredients. Actually, the highest qualify pills contain pure hoodia, without any binders, fillers, caffeine, or chemicals.Why take caffeine and chemical laden diet pills to lose weight? These are probably causing harmful effects to your body. A great benefit of Hoodia Gordonii is that it's natural and safe.

- With the Hoodia pill, you lose weight without being hungry, and without any feeling of being deprived.A study of obese patients in Great Britain, where half the volunteers were given hoodia pills, and the other half were given a placebo.

The only activities the volunteers were allowed were to eat, watch television, and read.After two weeks, those taking the hoodia pills had a reduced caloric intake of 1,000 calories daily. These individuals lost weight, even though there was ample food available, without being hungry, or feeling deprived.

It has been reported that people have lost up to four pounds in a week, eighty four pounds in five months, even 100 pounds in six months, taking pure Hoodia Gordonii.

If you'd like to lose weight, without dieting, Hoodia pills can help you. Because Hoodia is not a manufactured chemical, but rather a natural cactus plant, there's little likelihood of side effects.

Interestingly, Hoodia is classified as a food, not a drug, by the government of South Africa!

Studies of Hoodia by scientists for about the last decade have not discovered any negative side effects. Considering that the San Bushmen have been eating Hoodia for hundreds of years, without ill effects, then it's easy to see why Hoodia is a preferred alternative to chemical and caffeine laden diet pills.

These benefits certainly point out why Hoodia is superior to manufactured diet pills, but there are a few things that should be kept in mind.

Be aware that there are inferior brands of Hoodia being sold. Why? It requires two to five years for the hoodia plant to mature. It is also a protected species. Because of this, the demand for hoodia is outstripping the supply. This has led some manufacturers to sell inferior forms of hoodia pills - with insufficient amounts of hoodia gordonii and/or with fillers and binders. These forms don't provide the appetite suppressing properties of pure Hoodia.

If you're looking to buy Hoodia, always look for a Certificate of Analysis. Check the seller's website. This is the real proof that the Hoodia you're buying is 100% pure Hoodia.

Also, you want to look for the C.I.T.E.S. certificate. This is one of the most important documents, because a A genuine C.I.T.E.S. certificate is proof that you are purchasing authentic Hoodia Gordonii.

And - avoid products with binders and fillers in them. Buy Hoodia that's 100% pure.

Last, but certainly not least: Consult your physiciam before beginning a Hoodia regimen. If by any chance a medical situation is present, then Hoodia will not provide the benefits you're looking for. Don't waste your time and money. See your physician first.

Even though Hoodia Gordonii provides excellent results, eventually, you will most likely want to stop taking it. Consider changing your diet to one including fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Doing this before you stop taking the hoodia pills will help greatly to maintain the weight loss you'veachieved.

Tips Making Health Insurance Affordable

2009-08-12T20:52:00.000-07:00

As health insurance costs are increasing we have to proactive in making our choices when it comes to choosing a health insurance plan[read Health Insurance Fraud]. Health insurance companies are constantly coming out with new health insurance plans to stay competitive in the marketplace. New health plans offer you flexibility to customize your own health insurance plan. Most health plans in the past were packaged with tures that some of use did not need and some features that we did not know we had. We know that car insurance offers us flexibility to where you can pick your coverage limits, deductibles and the types of coverage that you want. It is only when people could not afford their health insurance anymore that insurance companies had to come up with new ways to make health insurance affordable. The days packaged group plans that offered 5 dollar co-pays and pay for your gym memberships are over. Why pay for the plan features that you are never going to use. Most of us and our parents come from the world where large companies paid for their health insurance plans. Large companies do have advantage of numbers; more people are part of the group the more competitive monthly rates are.

First I want

to address health insurance quote shopping. If you are looking for some great deal on a plan that covers everything for small monthly premium you are going to be very disappointed. Health insurance prices are health insurance prices no matter what insurance company you go with. The main difference in how insurance companies compete with offering more affordable health insurance rates is by being more creative in their plan designs. Stays away from "good deals" in health insurance, chances are the plans are not going to cover anything when you have a claim. Then you will end up with bills from the hospital and a bill from your health insurance company.

Health insurance companies like Assurant Health underwritten by Time Insurance offer health insurance plans where you have opportunity to design your own plan. It is one of the only large reputable health insurance companies to offer customizable health coverage plans. They offer five plan designs two of them are Health Savings Accounts qualified health plans and the other health plans are your standard PPO (Preferred Provider Organization). What makes Assurant Health unique is that every type of plan gives you opportunity to customize that plan by choosing your co-pay or no co-pay option, choice of deductible, prescription drug coverage deductible, dental discount plan or dental insurance and plan specific options. If you are looking for simple to use and simple to understand HSA plans, Assurant is one of the first companies you should consider. Assurant formerly knows as Fortis was the first medical insurance provider to offer HAS plans.

When designing your own health insurance plan keep in mind of your previous health insurance usage. Choosing higher deductible for your health insurance plans will make the largest difference in your monthly premium. Keep in mind in most cases deductible applies only to when you are hospitalized. That means when you are admitted to the hospital then you are responsible for your deductible. Most health insurance plans will cover your doctor visits, physical exams, prescriptions drugs and your lab work with a co-pay before you meet the deductible. If you choose a high deductible plan and something does happen to you that you end up in the hospital for something major and you do not have money at the time to cover your deductible. Every hospital will work with you by offering you payment plans. In some cases you can take as much as five years to pay off your deductible. There have been instances where hospitals even waived the deductible. Therefore it does not make any sense in choosing a plan with low deductible. Get health plans with high deductible and you are going to save thousands on your health insurance. Some companies like Assurant Health offer you option to where if you choose a health plans with deductible of thirty five hundred of higher you automatically qualify for two year rate guarantee. Save money monthly and avoid rate increases. Just with little knowledge and understanding of how health insurance works you can save thousands with the health coverage that is based on your needs.

Understanding the Stem Cells

2009-08-08T03:49:00.000-07:00

Stem cell treatments, research and technology is permanent fixture in 21st century medical research. Continued efforts to research and develop embryonic stem cell treatments and procedures doesn't merely mean cloning human beings or involve moral and ethical controversies or issues surrounding such research. Embryonic stem cells provide the basic building blocks and structure of the development of various cellular and tissue structure in the human body, and stem cell research irrefutably offers potential treatments that may eventually cure many disease processes, enable people with spinal cord injuries to walk again, and guide researchers to develop medications that will end to cognitive impairment diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease.

Millions of cells found in the human body can and are being developed for future medical treatments. Stem cells contain specific instructions on how cellular structures replicate and function. Each cell is also programmed with how long it will live, it's specific functions and tasks.

Stem cells come from different sources. The most commonly studied, and used, stem cell therapies involve:

• Embryonic stem cell therapy

• Adult stem cell therapy and research

• Umbilical cord stem cell therapy

EmCell Therapy

Professor Alexander Smikodub, M.D., PhD, is the founder of the Cell Therapy Clinic of the National Medical University and EmCell Clinic, as well as the inventor of treatment methods using embryonic stem cells in . The EmCell therapy clinic has been offering embryonic stem cell treatment in vivo to improve physical health for nearly two decades and has helped thousands of people suffering from disease processes like Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, various types of muscular dystrophy, blood diseases and cancers.

Dr. Smikodub has performed thousands of embryonic stem cell transplants to international patients who arrived every month from foreign destinations such as China, Germany, and the United States (where stem cell therapy treatments have not been approved) to receive treatments that improve quality of life.

International Clinical Experience

The EmCell Therapy Clinic is one of the world's largest fetal or embryonic stem cell transplantation centers that addresses various conditions and disease processes. Embryonic stem cell research and development continues to offer curative effects, which is one of the most promising aspects of cell research and therapies. The am so clinic focuses their attention on embryonic stem cell transplantation related transplantation of the basic building blocks of all tissues and organs, not the tissues or organs themselves, that are responsible for various functions in the body and provide the basic structures for musculature, blood, immune system, nervous and other body systems.

Stem cell therapies, and most potentially the potential of utilizing embryonic stem cells offer a multitude of benefits including but not limited to enabling cells to migrate directly to the site of injury or damage for repair or replication, establishing intercellular linkage and differentiation (developing into specific cellular structures such as muscle tissue, heart tissue, or neural tissues), In addition, benefits include enhancing immune responses and reducing and avoiding tissue and organ rejection.

EmCell, based in Kiev, Ukraine, was founded in 1994, a private clinic that has gained international recognition and reputation in the field of embryonic stem cell research and clinical applications. Focusing on effective prevention and antiaging programs, and devising and developing treatments and follow-up for complex clinical cases, the EmCell clinic focuses on indications as well as contraindications for severe acquired and genetic disease processes that are caused by decreased cell counts.

Embryonic stem cell research and development continues to be the most effective stem cell therapy yet developed by researchers and scientists. Embryonic stem cells are commonly cultivated from discarded fetuses or embryos resulting from abortions, and can be utilized to provide life-saving treatments for dozens of disease processes and health conditions.

Medical Stem Cell Tourism

The United States does not currently approve of stem cells therapy options, but Americans and other international travelers seek international destinations for promising treatments. Today, thousands of medical tourists venture to locations throughout the world, including China, Thailand, Japan, Europe, and India for treatments that offer beneficial and promising results.

The cost of therapies is determined according to geographic location of treatment facilities as well as the injury, illness or disease being treated. The U.S. is currently funding Phase I clinical trials of some types of stem cell therapies that may provide productive and beneficial use in the near future. In the meantime, individuals can reap the benefits of stem cell research and therapies offered around the world, such as the facilities found at EmCell Therapy in Kiev, Ukraine.

social phobia - anxiety disorder

2009-08-05T01:03:00.000-07:00

Social anxiety or social phobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by severe and persistent anxiety when in social situations, be it when interacting with others, or even only being observed.

People suffering from social phobia fear of being amongst (unfamiliar) people, because they will feel under scrutiny and anxious of behaving in a way that might humiliate or embarrass them.

People with social phobia are aware their fears are irrational and their anxiety over exaggerated, but apprehension will make them do whatever it takes to evade facing the feared situation.

This greatly interferes with normal life activities of people suffering from social phobia. They will start avoiding all sorts of social situations - and when that proves inevitable, they will be extremely worried - sometimes for weeks in advance. This is called "anticipatory anxiety".

When the

dreaded event is over, they will continue worrying how they've appeared to others. Did they found them anxious, or strange, or…?

This only increases the level of anticipatory anxiety they will feel the next time, and the vicious circle of social phobia continues…

It is natural to feel some degree of anxiety and self-consciences in certain social situations, like speaking in public or attending a job interview.

What's different with social phobics is that their fear is continually present and their anxiety out of proportions to the actual situation.

Social anxiety disorder is not just shyness or nervousness.

Social anxiety is a medical condition that can lead to a number of emotional and physical symptoms.

People who suffer from social anxiety find everyday tasks, like going grocery shopping or answering the phone, overwhelmingly stressful or even downright impossible to handle. That can cost them not only their social life, but even a job, and can leave them on the margins of society.

Because some level of social fear is perfectly normal and expected in some situations, social anxiety disorder is often left undiagnosed and untreated. It is estimated that about 3 – 13 % of population suffers from social anxiety in some form or way.

According to Social Anxiety Institute, social phobia is the largest anxiety disorder, and the third largest mental health care problem in the world today.

It is estimated that about one quarter of all people with social anxiety disorder use alcohol to self-medicate in order to appear more social.

Other comorbid disorders commonly occurring with social phobia are agoraphobia and major depression.

Social phobia affects men and women equally.

It usually appears before the age of 25.

Studies suggest that there's no one single cause of social anxiety disorder, but rather an unfortunate combination of different biological and psychological factors. An imbalance of brain chemicals – serotonin neurotransmitters, some scientists noted, may be linked with this disorder.

Social phobia, however, can be "cured"!

Social anxiety treatment usually includes medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Social anxiety disorder can be disabling if left untreated. If you suspect that you, or someone you know, may have symptoms of social anxiety disorder, don't hesitate to seek help from a qualified medical professional!

3 Successful Methods - Low Calorie Diet

2009-08-03T22:05:00.000-07:00

Most everyone knows that the secret of losing weight lies in ingesting less calories than you expend. A lot of people achieve this by going on a low calorie diet. There are three successful methods for these types of diets. You can eat less of the foods that you love, closely monitor your calories by counting, or eating lower calorie foods.

For a lot of people, it's near impossible to give up the foods that they love. There's a theory that it doesn't matter where your calories come from as long as you keep them low enough that you'll still be able to lose weight. If you absolutely can't give up your favorite foods, you should decide whether it's worth eating less of other foods to fit them in.

Many people on a low calorie diet obsessively count calories. Though it might seem a bit annoying carrying a notepad and a pen around with you all day, reading labels, jotting down the calorie content of the foods that you eat, and deducting them from your daily total, it is a very efficient way of staying on a low calorie diet and maximizing your weight loss potential.

Other people prefer to simply switch to lower calorie foods. Eating fat free foods as opposed to fatty foods is definitely an easy way to cut calories. Some might argue, however, that by sacrificing calories you're also sacrificing flavor. For this method, it's important to find low calorie foods that you enjoy. If you don't like the food, chances are, you won't stick to the diet.

A low calorie diet is a sure fire way to lose weight if you can stick with it. All of the three methods mentioned above work. You just have to find the one that is right for you. You could also combine the three or do a variation of them. Enjoying the foods that you eat is a key factor to sticking with a low calorie diet.

prostate cancer

2009-08-02T23:35:00.000-07:00

[prostate cancer]

We know that starting at age 40, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT triggering prostate enlargement and Prostate cancer. Therefore in order to prevent the symptoms of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer are to naturally impend the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Unfortunately, aging is not the only causes of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer. In this article, we will discuss other causes of prostate enlargement and prostate cancer.

I. Causes of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer

1. Genetics
Genetics may also play a role in enlarged prostate since study shows that prostate cancer and enlarged prostates can be inherited from generation to generation.

2. Hormone imbalance

The outward appearance of a typical middle-aged person shows increased abdominal fat and shrinkage of muscle mass, which is the main factor causing hormone imbalance. Hormone imbalance is also caused by depression, stress, and anxiety that are the most common psychological complications of hormone imbalance.

3. Cell-growth factor
For whatever reason, some people have implicated in enlarged prostate that is a growth factor.

4. Mineral deficiency
Our prostate contains high amounts of zinc to function normally. Zinc deficiency causes the prostate to enlarge. This may be due to aging or uncontrolled diet with excessive alcohol drinking.

5. Obesity
Study shows that uncontrolled diet that is high in saturated and trans fats are the main cause of hormone imbalance that results in prostate enlargement. Researchers suggest that excess calorie consumption could somehow directly stimulate prostate enlargement because the excess body fat that accumulates causes an imbalance of hormone levels.

6. Testosterone
Testosterone deficiency may be caused by high amounts of the by-product prolactin of testosterone of men in the body that stimulates even higher productions of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase resulting in a high amount of the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT thus triggering prostate enlargement. Excess estrogen seems to be the culprit in prostate enlargement that leads to the pathology and favors the development of prostate cancer.

III. Symptoms

1. Nocturia.
Nocturia is defined as being awakened at night one or more times in order to pass urine. It becomes more common as the person becomes older. This common pattern seen among people with this condition is an increased number of times of waking up every night to urinate for the rest of their life.

Nocturnal Polyuria is an important cause of nocturia in which there is an overproduction of urine at night. It is defined to have nighttime urine volume that is greater than 20-30% of the total 24 hour urine volume. Nocturia occurs more commonly among older people. It also occurs in women and men differently. Women generally experience nocturia as a result from childbirth, menopause, and pelvic organ prolapse. Nocturia in men can be directly attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

2. Dysuria.
Dysuria is a complication associated with genitourinary infections usually resulting in painful urination because the infection has made its way into the urinary tract, resulting in a urinary tract infection. Dysuria in men is usually indicative of a complication of the prostate, commonly referred to as prostatic hyperplasia caused by hormonal imbalances associated with estrogen production.

3. Asymptomatic
As we know the prostate gland becomes enlarged as a man ages. Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis may be diagnosed when infection-fighting cells are present causing common symptoms of prostatitis such as difficulty with urination, fever, and lower back and pelvic pain.

4. Epididymitis
Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis that connects the testicle with the vas deferens. Epididymitis is usually caused by infection of the urethra or the bladder. Epididymitis may begin with a low grade fever and chills with a heavy sensation in the testicle which becomes increasingly sensitive to pressure or traction. in next article we suggest you to read Prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.

By now it's pretty old news that exercise is beneficial for pregnancy
but a new study by the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences has some evidence to suggest that exercising regularly during your pregnancy could reduce the risk of cot death for your developing baby.

The study wanted to find if cardiovascular and respiratory functions were improved in the foetus as a result of exposure to maternal exercise. In particular they were looking for increased "breathing movements" in the foetuses of mothers who exercised during pregnancy as compared with those who did no exercise during pregnancy.

Now obviously your baby doesn't actually "breathe" whilst he's snuggled up in your belly as he gets everything he needs through the umbilical cord, but he does practice breathing, which indicates how well his respiratory and nervous system are developing.

What they found was that the breathing movement and the nervous system was better developed in babies of mothers who exercised during pregnancy than those who didn't.

Dr Linda May explained, that understanding more about how to improve the development of babies' nervous system could help to learn more about the causes of cot death.

" Some researchers think it has to do with something being wrong in the central nervous system, which affects respiration. Babies aren't able to wake up and breath for themselves if they need to."

So with this study showing that babies of mothers who exercise during pregnancy have a more mature and developed respiratory system, it suggests that these babies will be less likely to suffer from cot death after birth.

How Much Exercise Is Enough?

So what do you really need to do to improve your baby's nervous system and development?

Well firstly movement every day is essential,which means taking at least 15 minutes daily to get up and have a walk or do some other physical activity that gets you moving around continuously for a 15 minute period.

With regards to your planned pregnancy fitness program it is best to break it down into frequent sessions on most days of the week, rather than saving it all up for one or two long borinng sessions at the gym.

One great way to structure your pregnancy exercise routine is to focus on short-sharp-burst training sessions for 15 minutes on 6 days of the week.

15 minutes is long enough to give you a really good pregnancy workout as long as you know how to workout and how to monitor the intensity of your pregnancy exercise routine.

You should be focussing on whole body resistance based exercises like squats and deadlifts which use all 600 odd muscles in the body, as well as targeting the key pregnancy support muscles like the bottom, the midback and the core.

These types of exercises will burn the most energy and get you maximum results from your pregnancy fitness program in the shortest amount of time.

Combining this type of resistance training with 15 -20 minute interval training sessions will soon change your body shape and you should see your pregnancy fitness levels soar in just a few short weeks.

Control Panic Attacks: A Guide to a Calmer Life

2009-07-30T22:06:00.000-07:00

[Panic Attack]

It is getting hard to breathe deeply. It feels like there are giant hands pressing on your breastbone and your spine. Everything around you is starting to spin. You know that these are all the symptoms of a heart attack. There is only one issue, though. You also know that you are not having one.

A panic attack is a type of anxiety disorder that affects millions of people each year. The attacks can be so debilitating that sufferers often find themselves unable to leave their homes or do simple everyday tasks. The isolation that is caused by these attacks can lead to depression [ learning to treat depression] and inability to function. Thankfully, there are many safe and effective panic attack cures that can help even the most persistent of sufferers.

Instead,

you are having a full-blown panic attack. You have already been through this a bunch of times. You and your doctor have discussed what to do to control panic attacks. So, why is this happening again?

Most likely, you have forgotten to do the proper things before arriving at the place you find is causing the attack. There are some very specific ways to prevent panic attacks. This is a much better option than waiting for one to begin and trying to control it.

First and foremost, you must learn to recognize what triggers your panic attacks. These are different for every sufferer, so it is extremely important that you are hones with your doctor and yourself to make sure you are as prepared as possible to fend off another attack.

Next, I suggest that you look for alternate ways to handle the business at hand. If you discover that grocery shopping is one major stressor for you, see if there is a different way to go about it. Do you only panic when you are alone? If so, take a companion. Do you find that it is just one specific store that sets you off? Then just find a different store.

If you can find a way to prevent putting yourself in situations that are possible triggers, then do so. A lot of people would say that to really be healed, you should face your demons head on. I heartily disagree. There may be a time when you are ready to go to that place to test your skills at controlling panic attacks, but you should never feel like you must do it.

Since panic attacks are triggered almost exclusively by stress and perceived dangerous situations, throwing yourself into one to prove you are tough is not a good idea. It may take a very long time to get control and forcing the healing process is just going to add to the stress levels. This will, in turn, almost double your chance of having a panic attack immediately.

The absolute best thing to do is to avoid situations that trigger your attacks. However, you can remind yourself to breathe slowly and deeply. Do a lot of self-talk. Tell yourself that you are fine and that there is no real danger. Most importantly, be patient with yourself. There are many people who do not understand panic attacks. You do. Treat yourself kindly.

Exercise During Pregnancy

2009-07-30T01:08:00.000-07:00

Maintaining a regular exercise routine throughout your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel your best. Regular exercise during pregnancy can improve your posture and decrease some common discomforts such as backaches and fatigue. There is evidence that physical activity may prevent gestational diabetes (diabetes that develops during pregnancy), relieve stress, and build more stamina needed for labor and delivery.

If you were physically active before your pregnancy, you should be able to continue your activity in moderation. Don't try to exercise at your former level; instead, do what's most comfortable for you now. Low impact aerobics are encouraged versus high impact. Do not let your heart rate exceed 140 beats per minute.

The pregnant competitive athlete should be closely followed by an obstetrician.

If you have never exercised regularly before, you can safely begin an exercise program during pregnancy after consulting with your health care provider, but do not try a new, strenuous activity. Walking is considered safe to initiate when pregnant.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise per day on most if not all days of the week, unless you have a medical or pregnancy complication.
Who Should Not Exercise During Pregnancy?

If you have a medical problem, such as asthma, heart disease, or diabetes, exercise may not be advisable. Exercise may also be harmful if you have a pregnancy-related condition such as:

* Bleeding or spotting
* Low placenta
* Threatened or recurrent miscarriage
* Previous premature births or history of early labor
* Weak cervix

Talk with your health care provider before beginning an exercise program. Your health care provider can also give you personal exercise guidelines, based on your medical history.

What Exercises Are Safe During Pregnancy?

Most exercises are safe to perform during pregnancy, as long as you exercise with caution and do not overdo it.

The safest and most productive activities are swimming, brisk walking, indoor stationary cycling, step or elliptical machines, and low-impact aerobics (taught by a certified aerobics instructor). These activities carry little risk of injury, benefit your entire body, and can be continued until birth.

Tennis and racquetball are generally safe activities, but changes in balance during pregnancy may affect rapid movements. Other activities such as jogging can be done in moderation, especially if you were doing them before your pregnancy. You may want to choose exercises or activities that do not require great balance or coordination, especially later in pregnancy.

To learn strength and toning exercises that are safe to do during pregnancy, see Sample Exercises.
What Exercises Should Be Avoided During Pregnancy?

There are certain exercises and activities that can be harmful if performed during pregnancy. They include:

* Holding your breath during any activity.
* Activities where falling is likely (such as skiing and horseback riding).
* Contact sports such as softball, football, basketball, and volleyball.
* Any exercise that may cause even mild abdominal trauma such as activities that include jarring motions or rapid changes in direction.
* Activities that require extensive jumping, hopping, skipping, bouncing, or running.
* Deep knee bends, full sit-ups, double leg raises, and straight-leg toe touches.
* Bouncing while stretching.
* Waist-twisting movements while standing.
* Heavy exercise spurts followed by long periods of no activity.
* Exercise in hot, humid weather.
What Should a Pregnancy Exercise Program Consist Of?

For total fitness, a pregnancy exercise program should strengthen and condition your muscles.

Always begin by warming up for five minutes and stretching for five minutes. Include at least fifteen minutes of cardiovascular activity. Measure your heart rate at times of peak activity. Follow aerobic activity with five to ten minutes of gradually slower exercise that ends with gentle stretching.

Here are some basic exercise guidelines for pregnant women:

* Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothes as well as a good support bra.
* Choose shoes that are designed for the type of exercise you do. Proper shoes are your best protection against injury.
* Exercise on a flat, level surface to prevent injury.
* Consume enough calories to meet the needs of your pregnancy (300 more calories per day than before you were pregnant) or you can read tips - eating right when pregnant as well as your exercise program.
* Finish eating at least one hour before exercising.
* Drink water before, during, and after your workout.
* After doing floor exercises, get up slowly and gradually to prevent dizziness.
* Never exercise to the point of exhaustion. If you cannot talk normally while exercising, you are probably over-exerting yourself and should slow down your activity.

What Pregnancy Changes May Affect Exercise?

Physical changes during pregnancy create extra demands on your body. Keeping in mind the changes listed below, remember that you need to listen to your body and adjust your activities or exercise routine as necessary.

* Your developing baby and other internal changes require more oxygen and energy.
* Hormones produced during pregnancy cause the ligaments that support your joints to stretch, increasing the risk of injury.
* The extra weight and the uneven distribution of your weight shift your center of gravity. The extra weight also puts stress on joints and muscles in the lower back and pelvic area and makes it easier for you to lose your balance.

Warning for Pregnant Women

Stop exercising and consult your health care provider if you:

* Feel chest pain.
* Have abdominal pain, pelvic pain, or persistent contractions.
* Have a headache.
* Notice an absence or decrease in fetal movement.
* Feel faint, dizzy, nauseous, or light-headed.
* Feel cold or clammy.
* Have vaginal bleeding.
* Have a sudden gush of fluid from the vagina or a trickle of fluid that leaks steadily.
* Notice an irregular or rapid heartbeat.
* Have sudden swelling in your ankles, hands, face, or calf pain.
* Are short of breath.
* Have difficulty walking.
* Have muscle weakness.

How Soon Can I Exercise After Delivery?

It is best to ask your health care provider how soon you can begin your exercise routine after delivering your baby.

Although you may be eager to get in shape quickly, return to your pre-pregnancy fitness routines gradually. Follow your health care provider's exercise recommendations.

Most women can safely perform a low-impact activity one to two weeks after a vaginal birth (or three to four weeks after a cesarean birth). Do about half of your normal floor exercises and don't try to overdo it.

Diabetes Mellitus

2009-07-30T00:26:00.000-07:00

What is diabetes?

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, that result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes (as it will be in this article) was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine.

Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level. In patients with diabetes, the absence or insufficient production of insulin causes hyperglycemia. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime.

What is the impact of diabetes?

Over time, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, and nerve damage. These types of damage are the result of damage to small vessels, referred to as microvascular disease. Diabetes is also an important factor in accelerating the hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), leading to strokes, coronary heart disease, and other large blood vessel diseases. This is referred to as macrovascular disease. Diabetes affects approximately 17 million people (about 8% of the population) in the United States. In addition, an estimated additional 12 million people in the United States have diabetes and don't even know it.

From an economic perspective, the total annual cost of diabetes in 1997 was estimated to be 98 billion dollars in the United States. The per capita cost resulting from diabetes in 1997 amounted to $10,071.00; while healthcare costs for people without diabetes incurred a per capita cost of $2,699.00. During this same year, 13.9 million days of hospital stay were attributed to diabetes, while 30.3 million physician office visits were diabetes related. Remember, these numbers reflect only the population in the United States. Globally, the statistics are staggering.

Diabetes is the third leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer.

What causes diabetes?

Insufficient production of insulin (either absolutely or relative to the body's needs), production of defective insulin (which is uncommon), or the inability of cells to use insulin properly and efficiently leads to hyperglycemia and diabetes. This latter condition affects mostly the cells of muscle and fat tissues, and results in a condition known as "insulin resistance." This is the primary problem in type 2 diabetes. The absolute lack of insulin, usually secondary to a destructive process affecting the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas, is the main disorder in type 1 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, there also is a steady decline of beta cells that adds to the process of elevated blood sugars. Essentially, if someone is resistant to insulin, the body can, to some degree, increase production of insulin and overcome the level of resistance. After time, if production decreases and insulin cannot be released as vigorously, hyperglycemia develops.

Glucose is a simple sugar found in food. Glucose is an essential nutrient that provides energy for the proper functioning of the body cells. Carbohydrates are broken down in the small intestine and the glucose in digested food is then absorbed by the intestinal cells into the bloodstream, and is carried by the bloodstream to all the cells in the body where it is utilized. However, glucose cannot enter the cells alone and needs insulin to aid in its transport into the cells. Without insulin, the cells become starved of glucose energy despite the presence of abundant glucose in the bloodstream. In certain types of diabetes, the cells' inability to utilize glucose gives rise to the ironic situation of "starvation in the midst of plenty". The abundant, unutilized glucose is wastefully excreted in the urine.

Insulin is a hormone that is produced by specialized cells (beta cells) of the pancreas. (The pancreas is a deep-seated organ in the abdomen located behind the stomach.) In addition to helping glucose enter the cells, insulin is also important in tightly regulating the level of glucose in the blood. After a meal, the blood glucose level rises. In response to the increased glucose level, the pancreas normally releases more insulin into the bloodstream to help glucose enter the cells and lower blood glucose levels after a meal. When the blood glucose levels are lowered, the insulin release from the pancreas is turned down. It is important to note that even in the fasting state there is a low steady release of insulin than fluctuates a bit and helps to maintain a steady blood sugar level during fasting. In normal individuals, such a regulatory system helps to keep blood glucose levels in a tightly controlled range. As outlined above, in patients with diabetes, the insulin is either absent, relatively insufficient for the body's needs, or not used properly by the body. All of these factors cause elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia).

What are diabetes symptoms?

* The early symptoms of untreated diabetes are related to elevated blood sugar levels, and loss of glucose in the urine. High amounts of glucose in the urine can cause increased urine output and lead to dehydration. Dehydration causes increased thirst and water consumption.

* The inability of insulin to perform normally has effects on protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin is an anabolic hormone, that is, one that encourages storage of fat and protein.

* A relative or absolute insulin deficiency eventually leads to weight loss despite an increase in appetite.

* Some untreated diabetes patients also complain of fatigue, nausea and vomiting.

* Patients with diabetes are prone to developing infections of the bladder, skin, and vaginal areas.

* Fluctuations in blood glucose levels can lead to blurred vision. Extremely elevated glucose levels can lead to lethargy and coma.

Detect Pregnancy Before Pregnancy Test

2009-07-29T21:23:00.000-07:00

If you are planning a pregnancy, take into account each and every pregnancy symptom you come across after you conceive. These symptoms of pregnancy are the signals your body sends to out, to make you aware of your pregnancy. These symptoms will start arriving within a couple of days after you conceive. Your first pregnancy symptom can be anything. It can be a missed period or a feeling of nausea, cramping or even bloating. If you are confused about which symptoms are to be considered as pregnancy symptoms and which ones are to be taken as common health disorder, get detailed facts on pregnancy symptom. After all, a pregnancy symptom is an indication that it is time to consult a physician or take a pregnancy test.

Earliest Pregnancy Symptoms To Detect Pregnancy

You may miss

your period due to an improper diet or burden of stress due to your work loads. So does missed periods symptom alone make a reliable condition to confirm pregnancy? After you conceive numerous changes you will notice in your body and in your lifestyle habits. Make a note of every pregnancy symptom you experience right after conception to detect pregnancy at a very early stage. Pregnancy symptoms are likely to arrive in different women in different sequence, period and intensity. Therefore, absence of one symptom that your friend might have undergone is usually not a sign to be fret over if you do not undergo it. These pregnancy symptoms are also likely to appear alone or accompanied by other early symptoms of pregnancy. For example, implantation bleeding or vaginal spotting may accompany abdominal cramping.

How To Identify A Pregnancy Symptom

Your clear idea about the symptoms will help you distinguish a pregnancy symptom from a common health disorder. Still, you should better bring every symptom under observation of your physician to confirm pregnancy. The following list of initial pregnancy symptoms will give you a clear idea in identifying pregnancy symptoms.

Vaginal Spotting – As the fertilized egg shifts from fallopian tube to your uterus and gets attached to the inner wall of the uterus, you will be signaled by this pregnancy symptom. You will have slight vaginal bleeding within 3 to 4 days of conceiving. Because this bleeding results from the implantation of the egg in the uterus, doctors term it as implantation bleeding. Since, the color of this bleeding will be light pinkish or brown, you can identify this as a pregnancy symptom, not any other health disorder.

Abdominal Cramping – Onset of cramping also indicates attachment of embryo to your uterus. Attachment of embryo to the inner lining of uterus makes ligaments in the uterus expand to accommodate fetus’s growth in it. Such expansion can give you a cramping sensation in your abdomen as you feel during menstruation. However, sharp and acute cramping pain is a negative pregnancy symptom, consult your physician immediately.

Morning Sickness – Drastic hormonal changes may cause you to frequently throw up everyday and leave you feeling queasy and nauseous. As opposed to its name, ‘morning sickness’ this symptom may arise any time of the day apart from morning. Doctors consider this as a positive pregnancy symptom. Frequent urinating, swollen breasts, fainting are also considered positive conditions to confirm a pregnancy similar to missed period pregnancy symptom. after you know the information above should also read tips - eating right when pregnant to ensure and maintain the pregnancy you will be healthy.

How is hypothyroidism treated during pregnancy? Part II

this is connection from the article How is hypothyroidism treated during pregnancy? Part I

The treatment of hypothyroidism during pregnancy is relatively straightforward in most cases. A synthetic form of T4 is given to replace the missing hormone. The dose of the medication is regularly adjusted to maintain a steady blood level of thyroid hormone within the normal range. Therefore, it is routine practice to monitor the blood level of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) while monitoring hypothyroidism during pregnancy. In many respects, the treatment of hypothyroidism in pregnancy is similar to that in nonpregnant women. For more information, please read the article on Hypothyroidism.

What are the consequences of hypothyroidism during pregnancy?

For years, physicians have known of a link between mothers with hypothyroidism during pregnancy and developmental delay in their children after birth. This was particularly seen in mothers who came from iodine deficient areas of the country (iodine is necessary to produce thyroid hormone and is now a common component of the salt in our foods) and was also observed in mothers with autoimmune thyroid disease, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

There is a relationship between thyroid levels in the mother and brain development of her child. A large study reported in 1999 found that undetected or inadequately treated hypothyroidism in mothers was associated with IQ changes in the infants of these women. The average IQ scores were about 4 points lower in the children of hypothyroid mothers than in children of normal mothers. Larger IQ deficits were seen in the children of mothers who had more severe hypothyroidism. These children had an average IQ 7 points lower than normal. In addition, almost 20% of these children had IQ scores of less than 85 compared to 5% of the children of normal mothers. The children of hypothyroid mothers were also more likely to have difficulty in school or have repeated grades.

This study demonstrates that uncontrolled hypothyroidism in pregnant women can have long-term effects on the children of these mothers. Also, the effects occur even if the hypothyroidism is mild and the woman does not exhibit any symptoms. However, the more significant the hypothyroidism, the greater the likelihood of developmental problems.

Is Cymbalta Right for You?

Cymbalta Can Offer Improvement of a Broad Range of Symptoms

There are many theories about the cause of depression. One common theory is that depression is caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring substances in the brain and spinal cord.

Although the exact way that Cymbalta works in people is unknown, it is believed to be related to an increase in the activity of serotonin and norepinephrine which are two naturally occurring substances in the brain and spinal cord.

Cymbalta is in a class of medications called selective SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors).
Who Should NOT Take Cymbalta?

You should NOT take Cymbalta if:

* You have recently taken a type of antidepressant called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI)
* You have uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma (an eye disease)
* You are taking Mellaril® (thioridazine)

Before starting Cymbalta, tell your healthcare provider:

* About all of your medical conditions, including kidney problems, glaucoma, or diabetes
* About your alcohol use
* If you are taking nonprescription or prescription medicines, including those for migraine, to address a possible life-threatening condition
* If you are taking NSAID pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners. Use with Cymbalta may increase bleeding risk
* If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant during therapy, or are breastfeeding an infant

While taking Cymbalta, tell your healthcare provider:

* If you have itching, right upper belly pain, dark urine, yellow skin/eyes, or unexplained flu-like symptoms, which may be signs of liver problems. Severe liver problems, sometimes fatal, have been reported
* If you have high fever, confusion, and stiff muscles to address a possible life-threatening condition
* Before stopping Cymbalta or changing your dose
* If you experience dizziness or fainting upon standing, especially when first starting Cymbalta or when increasing the dose. Your healthcare provider may periodically check your blood pressure while you are taking Cymbalta

If you have any questions, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Cymbalta.

Cymbalta is not approved for use in patients under age 18. Remember, only your doctor can decide if Cymbalta is right for you. in other Topic we suggest you to read the next Cymbalta list below :

Hypothyroidism During Pregnancy Part I

Introduction

Thyroid disease is particularly common in women of child-bearing age. As a result, it is no surprise that thyroid disease may complicate the course of pregnancy. It is estimated that 2.5% of all pregnant women have some degree of hypothyroidism. The frequency varies among different populations and different countries. While pregnancy itself is a natural state, and by no means should be considered a "disease," thyroid disorders during pregnancy may affect both mother and baby. This article focuses specifically on hypothyroidism and pregnancy. After a general description of normal and abnormal thyroid function, recent data on long term consequences in children of mothers who had hypothyroidism during pregnancy will be reviewed.

What is the thyroid gland?

The thyroid is a gland weighing about 15 grams (about half an ounce) that is located in the front of the neck just below the Adam's apple (cricoid cartilage). The thyroid gland is responsible for the production of the body's thyroid hormone. The thyroid responds to hormonal signals from the brain to maintain a constant level of thyroid hormone. The hormone signals are sent by specialized areas of the brain (hypothalamus and pituitary), eventually sending thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that promotes thyroid hormone production by the thyroid gland.see picture below

What happens with thyroid disease?

Disease of the thyroid gland is extremely common. In some conditions, the thyroid may produce too much hormone. In other conditions, the thyroid may be damaged or destroyed and little, if any, thyroid hormone is produced. The main thyroid hormone is called thyroxine, or T4.

Symptoms vary depending on whether there is too much or too little T4 in the blood. With an excess of T4 (hyperthyroidism), patients complain of feeling restless, emotionally hyper, and hot and sweaty. They may have tremors, trouble concentrating, and weight loss. Frequent bowel movements and diarrhea are common.

If T4 levels are low (hypothyroidism) as a result of decreased production by the thyroid gland, patients often notice fatigue, lethargy, and weight gain. Constipation is common and many patients with hypothyroidism report feeling excessively cold. Part II soon

Tips - Eating Right When Pregnant

2009-07-27T22:02:00.000-07:00

[healthiness]

Good nutrition during pregnancy, and enough of it, is very important for your baby to grow and develop. You should consume about 300 more calories per day than you did before you became pregnant.

Although nausea and vomiting during the first few months of pregnancy can make this difficult, try to eat a well balanced diet and take prenatal vitamins. Here are some recommendations to keep you and your baby healthy.
Goals for Healthy Eating When Pregnant

* Eat a variety of foods to get all the nutrients you need. Recommended daily servings include 6-11 servings of breads and grains, two to four servings of fruit, four or more servings of vegetables, four servings of dairy products, and three servings of protein sources (meat, poultry, fish, eggs or nuts). Use fats and sweets sparingly.

* Choose foods high in fiber that are enriched such as whole-grain breads, cereals, pasta, rice, fruits, and vegetables.

* Make sure

you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your daily diet while pregnant. You should take a prenatal vitamin supplement to make sure you are consistently getting enough vitamins and minerals every day. Your doctor can recommend an over-the-counter brand or prescribe a prenatal vitamin for you.

* Eat and drink at least four servings of dairy products and calcium-rich foods a day to help ensure that you are getting 1000-1300 mg of calcium in your daily diet during pregnancy.

* Eat at least three servings of iron-rich foods per day to ensure you are getting 27 mg of iron daily.

* Choose at least one good source of vitamin C every day, such as oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, honeydew, papaya, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, green peppers, tomatoes, and mustard greens. Pregnant women need 70 mg of vitamin C a day.

* Choose at least one good source of folic acid every day, like dark green leafy vegetables, veal, and legumes (lima beans, black beans, black-eyed peas and chickpeas). Every pregnant woman needs at least 0.4 mg of folic acid per day to help prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida.

* Choose at least one source of vitamin A every other day. Sources of vitamin A include carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, spinach, water squash, turnip greens, beet greens, apricots, and cantaloupe. Know that excessive vitamin A intake (>10,000 IU/day) may be associated with fetal malformations.

Foods to Avoid When Pregnant

* Avoid alcohol during pregnancy. Alcohol has been linked to premature delivery, mental retardation, birth defects, and low birth weight babies.

* Limit caffeine to no more than 300 mg per day. The caffeine content in various drinks depends on the beans or leaves used and how it was prepared. An 8-ounce cup of coffee has about 150 mg of caffeine on average while black tea has typically about 80 mg. A 12-ounce glass of caffeinated soda contains anywhere from 30-60 mg of caffeine. Remember, chocolate contains caffeine -- the amount of caffeine in a chocolate bar is equal to 1/4 cup of coffee.

* The use of saccharin is strongly discouraged during pregnancy because it can cross the placenta and may remain in fetal tissues. But, the use of other non-nutritive or artificial sweeteners approved by the FDA is acceptable during pregnancy. These FDA-approved sweeteners include aspartame (Equal or NutraSweet), acesulfame-K (Sunett), and sucralose (Splenda). These sweeteners are considered safe in moderation so talk with your health care provider about how much non-nutritive sweetener is acceptable during pregnancy.

* Decrease the total amount of fat you eat to 30% or less of your total daily calories. For a person eating 2000 calories a day, this would be 65 grams of fat or less per day.

* Limit cholesterol intake to 300 mg or less per day.
* Do not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish (also called white snapper), because they contain high levels of mercury.

* Avoid soft cheeses such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined, and Mexican-style cheese. These cheeses are often unpasteurized and may cause Listeria infection. There’s no need to avoid hard cheese, processed cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese, or yogurt.

* Avoid raw fish, especially shellfish like oysters and clams.

What to Eat When Pregnant and Don't Feel Well

During pregnancy you may have morning sickness, diarrhea, or constipation. You may find it hard to keep foods down, or you may feel too sick to even eat at all. Here are some suggestions:

* Morning Sickness: Eat crackers, cereal, or pretzels before getting out of bed; eat small, frequent meals throughout the day; avoid fatty, fried, and greasy foods.

* Constipation: Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. Also drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.

* Diarrhea: Eat more foods that contain pectin and gums (two types of dietary fiber) to help absorb excess water. Examples of these foods are applesauce, bananas, white rice, oatmeal, and refined wheat bread.

* Heartburn: Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day; try drinking milk before eating; and limit caffeinated foods and beverages.

Can I Diet While Pregnant?

No. Do not diet or try to lose weight during pregnancy -- both you and your baby need the proper nutrients in order to be healthy. Keep in mind that you will lose some weight the first week your baby is born.

Can I Eat a "Low Carb" Diet When Pregnant?

Low carbohydrate diets, such as Atkins and the South Beach Diet, are very popular. There have been no studies of the effects of a low carbohydrate diet on pregnancy, so its effect on the fetus, if any, are unknown. While you are pregnant, you should eat a balanced diet from all of the food groups.
Can I Maintain My Vegetarian Diet When Pregnant?

Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you have to diverge from your vegetarian diet. Your baby can receive all the nutrition he or she needs to grow and develop while you follow a vegetarian diet if you make sure you eat a wide variety of healthy foods that provide enough protein and calories for you and your baby.

Depending on the type of vegetarian meal plan you follow, you may need to adjust your eating habits to ensure that you and your baby are receiving adequate nutrition (you should consume about 300 more calories than you did before you became pregnant).
Why Do I Need More Calcium When Pregnant?

Calcium is a nutrient needed in the body to build strong teeth and bones. Calcium also allows blood to clot normally, muscles and nerves to function properly, and the heart to beat normally. Most of the calcium in your body is found inside your bones.

Your growing baby needs a considerable amount of calcium to develop. If you do not consume enough calcium to sustain the needs of your developing baby, your body will take calcium from your bones, decreasing your bone mass and putting you at risk for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis causes dramatic thinning of the bone, resulting in weak, brittle bones that can easily be broken.

Pregnancy is a critical time for a woman to consume more calcium. Even if no problems develop during pregnancy, an inadequate supply of calcium at this time can diminish bone strength and increase your risk for osteoporosis later in life.

The following guidelines will help ensure that you are consuming enough calcium throughout your pregnancy:

* The U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (USRDA) for calcium is 1000 mg per day for pregnant and breastfeeding women over age 18. The USRDA for teenage girls up to age 18 is 1300 mg of calcium per day.
* Eating and drinking at least four servings of dairy products and calcium-rich foods a day will help ensure that you are getting the appropriate amount of calcium in your daily diet.
* The best sources of calcium are dairy products including milk, cheese, yogurt, cream soups, and pudding. Calcium is also found in foods including green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, and greens), seafood, dried peas, and beans.
* Vitamin D will help your body use calcium. Adequate amounts of vitamin D can be obtained through exposure to the sun and in fortified milk, eggs, and fish.

How Can I Get Enough Calcium If I'm Lactose Intolerant?

Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk. If you are lactose intolerant, you may have cramping, gas, or diarrhea when dairy products are consumed.

If you are lactose intolerant, you can still receive the calcium you need. Here are some suggestions:

* Try consuming small amounts of milk with meals. Milk may be better tolerated with food.
* You may be able to tolerate certain milk products that contain less sugar including cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese.
* Eat non-dairy calcium sources including greens, broccoli, sardines, and tofu.
* Use Lactaid Milk fortified with calcium. Talk to your dietitian about other lactose-reduced products.

Should I Take a Calcium Supplement During Pregnancy?

If you have trouble consuming enough calcium-rich foods in your daily meal plan, talk to your doctor or dietitian about taking a calcium supplement. The amount of calcium you will need from a supplement depends on how much calcium you are consuming through food sources.

Calcium supplements and some antacids containing calcium, such as Tums, may complement an already healthy diet. Many multiple vitamin supplements contain little or no calcium; therefore, you will need an additional calcium supplement.
Why Do I Need More Iron During Pregnancy?

Iron is a mineral that makes up an important part of hemoglobin, the substance in blood that carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron also carries oxygen in muscles, helping them function properly. Iron helps increase your resistance to stress and disease.

The body absorbs iron more efficiently during pregnancy; therefore it is important to consume more iron while you are pregnant to ensure that you and your baby are getting enough oxygen. Iron will also help you avoid symptoms of tiredness, weakness, irritability, and depression.

Following a balanced diet and including foods high in iron can help ensure that you are consuming enough iron throughout your pregnancy. In addition, the following guidelines will help:

* The U.S. RDA for iron is 27 mg per day for pregnant women and 15 mg for breastfeeding women.
* Eating at least three servings of iron-rich foods a day will help ensure that you are getting 30 mg of iron in your daily diet. One of the best ways to get iron from your diet is to consume a highly fortified breakfast cereal such as Total, which has 18 mg of iron. Note that iron intake is not equal to iron absorption. Absorption of iron into the body is greatest with meat sources of iron such as liver.
* The best sources of iron include enriched grain products, lean meat, poultry, fish, and leafy green vegetables.

What Are Good Sources of Iron?

* Meat and Seafood: Lean beef, chicken, clams, crab, egg yolk, fish, lamb, liver, oysters, pork, sardines, shrimp, turkey, and veal.
* Vegetables: Black-eyed peas, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, collard and turnip greens, lima beans, sweet potatoes, and spinach.
* Legumes: Dry beans and peas, lentils, and soybeans.
* Fruits: All berries, apricots, dried fruits, including prunes, raisins and apricots, grapes, grapefruit, oranges, plums, prune juice, and watermelon.
* Breads and Cereals: Enriched rice and pasta, soft pretzel, and whole grain and enriched or fortified breads and cereals.
* Other Foods: Molasses, peanuts, pine nuts, pumpkin, or squash seeds.

Should I Take an Iron Supplement During Pregnancy?

Talk to your health care provider about an iron supplement. The National Academy of Sciences recommends that all pregnant women following a balanced diet take an iron supplement providing 27 mg of iron during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy (that's the amount in most prenatal vitamins). Your doctor may increase this dose if you become anemic. Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which the size and number of red blood cells are reduced. This condition may result from inadequate intake of iron or from blood loss.
Other Facts About Iron

* Vitamin C helps your body use iron. It is important to include sources of vitamin C along with foods containing iron and iron supplements.
* Caffeine can inhibit the absorption of iron. Try to consume iron supplements and foods high in iron at least one to three hours before or after drinking or eating foods containing caffeine.
* Iron is lost in cooking some foods. To retain iron, cook foods in a minimal amount of water and for the shortest possible time. Also, cooking in cast iron pots can add iron to foods.
* Constipation is a common side effect of taking iron supplements. To help relieve constipation, slowly increase the fiber in your diet by including whole grain breads, cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Drinking at least eight cups of fluids daily and increasing moderate exercise (as recommended by your doctor) can also help you avoid constipation.

Food Cravings During Pregnancy

Food cravings during pregnancy are normal. Although there is no widely accepted explanation for food cravings, almost two-thirds of all pregnant women have them. If you develop a sudden urge for a certain food, go ahead and indulge your craving if it provides energy or an essential nutrient. But, if your craving persists and prevents you from getting other essential nutrients in your diet, try to create more of a balance in your daily diet during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, your taste for certain foods may change. You may suddenly dislike foods you were fond of before you became pregnant. In addition, during pregnancy, some women feel strong urges to eat non-food items such as ice, laundry starch, dirt, clay, chalk, ashes, or paint chips. This is called pica, and it may be associated with an iron deficiency such as anemia. Do not give in to these non-food cravings -- they can be harmful to both you and your baby. Tell your health care provider if you have these non-food cravings.

If you have any problems that prevent you from eating balanced meals and gaining weight properly, ask you health care provider for advice. Registered dietitians -- the nutrition experts -- are available to help you maintain good nutrition throughout your pregnancy.

Marijuana Has Anti-Cancer Properties

2009-07-27T20:18:00.000-07:00

(Healthiness) The active ingredient in marijuana appears to target cancerous brain cells for destruction while leaving healthy cells alone, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Complutense University in Madrid, and published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Researchers first conducted an experiment in mice that had been engineered to carry three different grafts of human brain cancer. They injected the mice daily with the molecule tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) near the site of the tumors once each day. The chemical appeared to stimulate the cancerous cells to engage in a process known as autophagy, in which cells initiate their own breakdown.

"These results may help to design new cancer therapies based on the use of medicines containing the active principle of marijuana and/or in the activation of autophagy," researcher Guillermo Velasco said.

THC belongs to a class of chemicals known as cannabinoids, named after the cannabis (marijuana) plant in which they occur. It is the chemical responsible for the psychoactive effects of marijuana consumption.

In a followup experiment, the researchers extracted and analyzed brain tissue from two patients with an aggressive form of brain cancer known as "recurrent glioblastoma multiforme." The patients were treated with THC for either 26 or 30 days, then the researchers extracted and analyzed another sample.

After examining the brain tissue under an electron microscope, the researchers discovered that THC treatment resulted in death of cancerous cells but had no effect on healthy ones. The researchers were also able to discover the signaling pathway by which THC acts.

The research opens up the possibility that cannabinoid research could yield "a new family of potential antitumoral agents," the researchers wrote.

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and aggressive form of primary brain tumor. Without treatment, the average patient lives only three months after being diagnosed with the cancer. Treatment extends the average life expectancy after diagnosis by less than a year.

High Glycemic Foods Damage Arteries

2009-07-27T20:08:00.000-07:00

(Healthiness) Anyone interested in healthy and nutritious foods has probably heard that whole grains are far better for you than the processed variety like white bread and sugar-laden cereals. There are several reasons for this, including the fact whole foods tend to be richer in fiber and they also have low glycemic indexes. That means they keep blood sugar and insulin levels steady without wide fluctuations. But a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology concludes there's another important reason to avoid high glycemic foods like white bread and corn flakes. For the first time, scientists have documented how eating these foods can directly damage artery walls and cause cardiac problems.

It's very hard to predict heart disease," Dr. Michael Shechter of Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine and the Heart Institute of Sheba Medical Center, said in a statement to the media. "But doctors know that high glycemic foods rapidly increase blood sugar. Those who binge on these foods have a greater chance of sudden death from heart attack. Our research connects the dots, showing the link between diet and what's happening in real time in the arteries.

For his study, Dr Shechter and colleagues worked with 56 healthy volunteers who were divided into four groups. One group ate cornflake cereal mixed with milk, a second consumed a pure sugar mixture, the third group ate bran flakes and the last group took water (as a placebo control). Over the course of four weeks, Dr. Shechter applied brachial reactive testing to the research subjects in each group. This test, a clinical and research technique pioneered by Dr. Shechter's laboratory, uses a blood pressure type cuff on the arm that is able to visualize what happens inside arteries before, during and after eating various foods.

Before any of the study participants ate, the function of their arteries was essentially the same. After eating, however, all except the placebo group had reduced arterial functioning -- especially the research subjects who ate cornflakes and sugar. In fact, the testing documented that during the consumption of these foods high in sugar, there was a temporary and sudden dysfunction in the endothelium, the thin layer of cells that line the inside of arteries and reduce turbulence as blood flows throughout the entire circulatory system.

This is a critical finding because, when repeated over time, a sudden expansion of artery walls can cause a host of negative effects on health including damage to endothelial cells. That can reduce elasticity in arteries, resulting in heart disease or even sudden death. In fact, according to Dr. Shechter, endothelium dysfunction can be traced back to almost every disorder and disease in the body.

We knew high glycemic foods were bad for the heart. Now we have a mechanism that shows how," Dr. Shechter explained in the press statement. "Foods like cornflakes, white bread, French fries, and sweetened soda all put undue stress on our arteries. We've explained for the first time how high glycemic carbs can affect the progression of heart disease.

Dr. Shechter agrees with natural health advocates who have long advised staying away from highly processed, high glycemic foods and eating a diet rich in low glycemic whole foods such as oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts. In addition to helping protect your heart, this style of eating has other advantages. According to the Harvard School of Public Health web site, these healthy foods are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and a host of important phytonutrients.

On the other hand, white bread, white rice, pastries, sugared sodas, and other highly processed foods tear down instead of build health -- they contribute to weight gain, interfere with weight loss, and promote diabetes and heart disease. As reported earlier in Natural News, processed foods have also been linked with an increased risk for cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/022025.html) and recent studies indicate many processed foodstuffs, from bread to candy bars, may be contaminated with toxic mercury, too (http://www.naturalnews.com/025442_m...).

A New Way of Killing Cancer Cell Found by British Researchers

2009-07-23T19:59:00.000-07:00

In the latest Journal of Clinical Investigation, A New Way of Killing Cancer Cell Found by British Researchers. British researchers released their new research result that antibody can kill cancer cell directly without human immune system, which would help to develop a new treatment for cancer.

Antibody can be used in cancer treatment. The basic principle is, combining with antibody, it will be easier for human immune system to identify cancer cells and then kill them.

University of Southampton declared in its press communique on July 21, a joint research team with University of Manchester found some antibodies Healthiness could kill cancer cell directly bypassing human immune system. While those antibodies combining with cancer cells, the lysosome in cancer cell will burst and release toxic substance, which will kill cancer cell finally.

The researchers said that, the result would be helpful to develop an effective way of killing cancer cell, to treat those incurable cancers within traditional chemotherapy.

Several months ago, a research made by University College London indicated that, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could carry a kind of protein, named tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis inducing trail, to find accurately and kill several kinds of cancer cell, including lung cancer, SCC, breast cancer and carcinoma of cervix. During this process, normal cells will not be influenced. The experiment had been carried out on laboratory mice, and the researchers expected to try out on human bodies in 2 or 3 years.

Although new progress has being made, we still have a long way to fight against cancer. It is popular in the youth that wearing silicone wristbands with messages like “live strong”, “be brave” and “Never give up” to encourage those people suffering cancer and convey the best wishes to them. Also, custom silicone wristbands are used by some charity organizations to raise money for charitable causes. To associate with people as many as possible, we could do more for cancer patients and call people all around world to fight cancer together.

Pregnancy Symptoms and Signs

2009-07-22T06:51:00.000-07:00

How can you tell if you are pregnant? There are a number of signs and symptoms to watch for. Chances are you will only experience a portion of the symptoms. Each pregnancy is different, and the same mom to be can experience different pregnancy signs each time she gets pregnant.

Pregnancy symptoms can begin for some mothers immediately after conception. Some pregnancy signs require that you chart your cycle, noting your daily basal body temperature.

Implantation

While a rare minority will experience pregnancy symptoms sooner, typically the first pregnancy signs occur when your baby implants around 8-10 days after ovulation. Implantation causes an increase in progesterone levels, which can lead to higher temperatures giving you a tri-phasic chart. If you temperature remains high for fifteen or more days after ovulation, you may be pregnant. Some women will see a slight temperature drop at implantation. Implantation bleeding sometimes occurs and can be pink, red, or brown in color. You may also have lower abdominal cramps.

Positive Pregnancy Test

The next

and best sign that you are pregnant is a positive pregnancy test. Home pregnancy tests measure the pregnancy hormone hCG in your urine. The most sensitive home pregnancy tests will show a positive result when the hCG levels reach 20, which can happen as early as four days before your period is due, or approximately 10 days after ovulation.

False negatives are common when testing early with a home pregnancy test, so I recommend you wait to use one until eighteen days after ovulation to avoid false negatives. The usual recommendation is to wait until 14 days after ovulation before testing. Blood serum pregnancy tests performed by your doctor are much more sensitive. They can detect hCG levels as low as five. If you continue to experience pregnancy symptoms, but your home pregnancy test continues to show negative, you can make an appointment with your doctor to confirm your pregnancy.

Missed Period

One of the most common pregnancy signs is a missed period. For women with a standard 28-day cycle, their period is late if it has not arrived fifteen days after ovulation, or twenty-nine days after the first day of their cycle. Elevated basal body temperatures for 15 or more days will typically accompany the missed period.

Frequent Urination

Frequent urination is a very common early symptom of pregnancy. You may find yourself unable to be away from a bathroom for more than hour at a time, or waking up in the middle of the night to urinate.

Morning Sickness

Morning sickness can begin as early as 2 to 4 weeks after conception. The term morning sickness is something of a misnomer, as you can experience the nausea and vomiting throughout the day. Morning sickness typically is worst during the first trimester, and most pregnant women will have their morning sickness symptoms lessen or subside completely during the second or third trimester.

Breast Changes

Breast tenderness usually begins around 3 to 4 weeks after conception. This can also be a sign of your impending period. Usually the degree of breast tenderness is much stronger with pregnancy than with your period. You may also notice a slight tingling sensation.

Another change to your breasts early in pregnancy is the appearance. Your areolas can become larger and darker.

Fatigue

Fatigue can be an early sign of pregnancy. This symptom is not just being a little tired; it is more like feeling totally wiped out. Your normal daily activities can send you to complete exhaustion.

Body Discomforts

The physical and hormonal changes you experience with pregnancy can cause a long list of body changes that are annoying and uncomfortable. You may experience headaches, backaches, acne, constipation, heartburn, mood swings, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, indigestion, and abdominal cramps.

Food Cravings

Food cravings are a very common pregnancy symptom. Approximately 85% of women will experience some type of food craving during their pregnancy.

Food Aversions

The other side of food cravings is food aversions. They are also a very common sign of early pregnancy. You may find that a favorite food suddenly makes you feel nauseated just thinking about it.

Smell Aversions

A heightened sense of smell may cause some odors to seem stronger than normal when you are pregnant. Some smell aversions can cause food aversions.

Baby Movement

You can feel your baby moving as early as 16 weeks, but for first-time mothers may not feel the baby moving until 20 weeks or more.

Intuition

For some women, they just “feel” pregnant, even though they have had no other signs or symptoms. A mother's intuition is frequently accurate.

It is possible to experience some of the signs and symptoms of pregnancy, yet still not be pregnant. It is important that both you and your baby get under a doctor’s care as early as possible. If you think you might be pregnant, treat your body as if you are pregnant until you know for sure. Take a home pregnancy test if you miss your period. If the test shows positive, then you are pregnant. Congratulations!

breast cancer - Surgery

2009-07-20T03:11:00.000-07:00

Surgery is the most common treatment for breast cancer. There are several types of surgery. Your doctor can explain each type, discuss and compare the benefits and risks, and describe how each will change the way you look:

* Breast-sparing surgery: An operation to remove the cancer but not the breast is breast-sparing surgery. It is also called breast-conserving surgery, lumpectomy, segmental mastectomy, and partial mastectomy. Sometimes an excisional biopsy serves as a lumpectomy because the surgeon removes the whole lump.

The surgeon often removes the underarm lymph nodes as well. A separate incision is made. This procedure is called an axillary lymph node dissection. It shows whether cancer cells have entered the lymphatic system.

After breast-sparing surgery, most women receive radiation therapy to the breast. This treatment destroys cancer cells that may remain in the breast.

* Mastectomy: An operation to remove the breast (or as much of the breast tissue as possible) is a mastectomy. In most cases, the surgeon also removes lymph nodes under the arm. Some women have radiation therapy after surgery.

Studies have found equal survival rates for breast-sparing surgery (with radiation therapy) and mastectomy for Stage I and Stage II breast cancer.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a new method of checking for cancer cells in the lymph nodes. A surgeon removes fewer lymph nodes, which causes fewer side effects. (If the doctor finds cancer cells in the axillary lymph nodes, an axillary lymph node dissection usually is done.)

In breast-sparing surgery, the surgeon removes the tumor in the breast and some tissue around it. The surgeon may also remove lymph nodes under the arm. The surgeon sometimes removes some of the lining over the chest muscles below the tumor.

In total (simple) mastectomy, the surgeon removes the whole breast. Some lymph nodes under the arm may also be removed.

In modified radical mastectomy, the surgeon removes the whole breast, and most or all of the lymph nodes under the arm. Often, the lining over the chest muscles is removed. A small chest muscle also may be taken out to make it easier to remove the lymph nodes.

You may choose to have breast reconstruction. This is plastic surgery to rebuild the shape of the breast. It may be done at the same time as a mastectomy or later. If you are considering reconstruction, you may wish to talk with a plastic surgeon before having a mastectomy. More information is in the "Breast Reconstruction" section.

The time it takes to heal after surgery is different for each woman. Surgery causes pain and tenderness. Medicine can help control the pain. Before surgery, you should discuss the plan for pain relief with your doctor or nurse. After surgery, your doctor can adjust the plan if you need more relief. Any kind of surgery also carries a risk of infection, bleeding, or other problems. You should tell your health care provider right away if you develop any problems.

You may feel off balance if you've had one or both breasts removed. You may feel more off balance if you have large breasts. This imbalance can cause discomfort in your neck and back. Also, the skin where your breast was removed may feel tight. Your arm and shoulder muscles may feel stiff and weak. These problems usually go away. The doctor, nurse, or physical therapist can suggest exercises to help you regain movement and strength in your arm and shoulder. Exercise can also reduce stiffness and pain. You may be able to begin gentle exercises within days of surgery.

Because nerves may be injured or cut during surgery, you may have numbness and tingling in your chest, underarm, shoulder, and upper arm. These feelings usually go away within a few weeks or months. But for some women, numbness does not go away.

Removing the lymph nodes under the arm slows the flow of lymph fluid. The fluid may build up in your arm and hand and cause swelling. This swelling is lymphedema. Lymphedema can develop right after surgery or months to years later.

You will need to protect your arm and hand on the treated side for the rest of your life:

* Avoid wearing tight clothing or jewelry on your affected arm

* Carry your purse or luggage with the other arm

* Use an electric razor to avoid cuts when shaving under your arm

* Have shots, blood tests, and blood pressure measurements on the other arm

* Wear gloves to protect your hands when gardening and when using strong detergents

* Have careful manicures and avoid cutting your cuticles

* Avoid burns or sunburns to your affected arm and hand

You should ask your doctor how to handle any cuts, insect bites, sunburn, or other injuries to your arm or hand. Also, you should contact the doctor if your arm or hand is injured, swells, or becomes red and warm.

If lymphedema occurs, the doctor may suggest raising your arm above your heart whenever you can. The doctor may show you hand and arm exercises. Some women with lymphedema wear an elastic sleeve to improve lymph circulation. Medication, manual lymph drainage (massage), or use of a machine that gently compresses the arm may also help. You may be referred to a physical therapist or another specialist.

Mesothelioma & Asbestos

2009-07-18T02:49:00.000-07:00

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos on a regular basis. This cancer can take many decades to develop, usually at least several decades. Therefore, people that worked with asbestos perhaps 30 or 40 years ago are only now being diagnosed with this disease. This cancer can affect several vital organs: the most common variation is that which affects the lungs, causing fluid build-up which in turn causes a variety of symptoms such as breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, persistent coughing and difficulty swallowing; the second variation affects the stomach and abdominal area and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, bowel obstruction and loss of appetite; and the rarest version affects the heart and can cause palpitations, persistent coughing and chest pain. However, because the disease takes so long to manifest you will find that the onset of these symptoms comes many, many years after the actual exposure that causes the disease.

Mesothelioma and asbestos litigation has become a huge business these days, and many people that have contracted asbestos related diseases such as mesothelioma are awarded multi-million dollar compensation payouts. However, before any compensation can be paid out, you need to seek assistance from a mesothelioma and asbestos lawyer, and he or she will run through the various legal options available to you with regards to pursuing a claim. It is important to find a suitably qualified and experienced lawyer as soon as possible as the statutes of limitation imposed from state to state could otherwise hinder your chances of filing a claim.

Once you have contacted an asbestos lawyer, you need to discuss the various mesothelioma and asbestos legal options that are open to you. By choosing a lawyer with a good level of experience in the field of mesothelioma and asbestos litigation, you can ensure that you are informed about all the legal options available, and that you are offered advice on which is the best option to suit your needs and circumstances. An experienced lawyer can draw on past experience in order to make a recommendation with regards to your most suitable mesothelioma and asbestos legal options, thus maximizing the chances of a compensation payout.

Once you have found a lawyer, you will need to make an appointment to discuss your options fully, although many online companies will allow you to make your initial contact by e-mail and they will then evaluate your case and contact you with the options. Your lawyer can advise whether you should pursue your case, and if so which direction to take it in. Your lawyer will also need to put a water-tight case together, which is another reason to get legal advice and assistance as early as possible. Further investigations may be required, which will also take time. It could be that you are unsure of when and where you were exposed to asbestos, and your lawyer will need to hire someone to look into this.

There will be a number of legal options that are available to you depending upon your circumstances. If you are one of a number of claimants, then a class action may be suitable for you. This type of legal option lends strength to your case because there is more than one plaintiff. However, the payout can be lower as the compensation has to be shared among all plaintiffs named on the lawsuit. You may be advised to file an individual lawsuit if the lawyer feels you have a strong case, and this means that you may get more in the way of compensation.

You may find that your lawyer can get you a generous out of court settlement, which means that your case need never go to court at all. These are just a few of the legal options that an experienced mesothelioma and asbestos lawyer may tell you about. You should make sure that he or she covers all of the possible mesothelioma and asbestos legal options when you visit the lawyer, as you can then make a more informed decision with regards to the course of action you wish to pursue

Pleurisy (Pleuritis)

2009-07-18T02:35:00.000-07:00

Pleurisy is inflammation of the linings around the lungs (the pleura). There are two layers of pleura: one covering the lung (termed the visceral pleura) and the other covering the inner wall of the chest (the parietal pleura). These two layers are lubricated by pleural fluid.

Pleurisy is frequently associated with the accumulation of extra fluid in the space between the two layers of pleura. This fluid is referred to as a pleural effusion. Pleurisy is also referred to as pleuritis.

The pain fibers of the lung are located in the pleura. When this tissue becomes inflamed, it results in a sharp pain in the chest that is worse with breathing in, aka pleurisy. Other symptoms of pleurisy can include cough, chest tenderness, and shortness of breath.

What causes pleurisy?

Pleurisy can be caused by any of the following conditions:

* Infections: bacterial (including those that cause tuberculosis), fungus, parasites, or viruses
* Inhaled chemicals or toxic substances: exposure to some cleaning agents like ammonia
* Collagen vascular diseases: lupus, rheumatoid arthritis
* Cancers: for example, the spread of lung cancer or breast cancer to the pleura
* Tumors of the pleura: mesothelioma or sarcoma
* Congestion: heart failure
* Pulmonary embolism: blood clot inside the blood vessels to the lungs. These clots sometimes
severely reduce blood and oxygen to portions of the lung and can result in death to that portion
of lung tissue (termed lung infarction). This, too, can cause pleurisy.
* Obstruction of lymph channels: as a result of centrally located lung tumors
* Trauma: rib fractures or irritation from chest tubes used to drain air or fluid from the pleural
cavity in the chest
* Certain drugs: drugs that can cause lupus-like syndromes (such as Hydralazine, Procan,
Dilantin, and others)
* Abdominal processes: such as pancreatitis, cirrhosis of the liver
* Lung infarction: lung tissue death due to lack of oxygen from poor blood supply

2009-07-14T23:25:00.000-07:00

Introduction

Most women equate a missed menstrual period with the possibility of being pregnant, but other symptoms and signs are experienced by most women in the early stages of pregnancy. It's important to remember that not all women will experience all of these symptoms or have the symptoms to the same degree. Even the same woman can have different types of symptoms in a subsequent pregnancy than she had in previous pregnancies. The following are the most common pregnancy symptoms in the first trimester.

Missed period

A missed menstrual period is most often the first sign of pregnancy. Sometimes a woman who is pregnant may still experience some bleeding or spotting around the time of the expected period. This small amount of bleeding that occurs at the time of the expected menstrual period happens when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall and is referred to as implantation bleeding.

Any bleeding during pregnancy is typically lighter than that observed during the regular menstrual period. However, if a woman does not have regular menstrual cycles, she may notice some of the other symptoms of early pregnancy before it is apparent that the menstrual period has been missed. A missed menstrual period also does not confirm that a woman is pregnant even if she has regular cycles, since both emotional and physical conditions may cause absent or delayed periods.

Breast swelling, tenderness, and pain

Feelings of

breast swelling, tenderness, or pain are also commonly associated with early pregnancy. These symptoms are sometimes similar to the sensations in the breasts in the days before an expected menstrual period. Women may also describe a feeling of heaviness or fullness in the breasts. These symptoms can begin in some women as early as one to two weeks after conception.

Nausea and vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are also common in early pregnancy. Traditionally referred to as "morning sickness," the nausea and vomiting associated with early pregnancy can occur at any time of the day or night. Its typical onset is anywhere between the 2nd and 8th weeks of pregnancy. Most women who have morning sickness develop nausea and vomiting about one month after conception, but it may develop sooner in some women.

Elevations in estrogen that occur early in pregnancy are thought to slow the emptying of the stomach and may be related to the development of nausea. Accompanying the characteristic "morning sickness" may be cravings for, or aversions to, specific foods or even smells. It is not unusual for a pregnant woman to change her dietary preferences, often having no desire to eat previous "favorite" foods. In most women, nausea and vomiting begin to subside by the second trimester of pregnancy.

Fatigue and tiredness

Fatigue and tiredness are symptoms experienced by many women in the early stages of pregnancy. The cause of this fatigue has not been fully determined, but it is believed to be related to rising levels of the hormone progesterone. Fatigue is another symptom that may be experienced early, in the first weeks after conception.

Abdominal bloating

Some women may experience feelings of abdominal enlargement or bloating, but there is usually only a small amount of weight gain in the first trimester of pregnancy. In this early stage of pregnancy a weight gain of about one pound per month is typical. Sometimes women also experience mild abdominal cramping during the early weeks of pregnancy, which may be similar to the cramping that occurs prior to or during the menstrual period.

Frequent urination

A woman in the early stages of pregnancy may feel she has to urinate frequently, especially at nighttime, and she may leak urine with a cough, sneeze, or laugh. The increased desire to urinate may have both physical and hormonal causes. Once the embryo has implanted in the uterus, it begins to produce the hormone known as human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), which is believed to stimulate frequent urination. Another cause of frequent urination that develops later is the pressure exerted by the growing uterus on the bladder.

Elevated basal body temperature

A persistently elevated basal body temperature (the oral temperature measured first thing in the morning, before arising from bed) is another characteristic sign of early pregnancy. An elevation in the basal body temperature occurs shortly after ovulation and persists until the next menstrual period occurs. Persistence of the elevated basal body temperature beyond the time of the expected menstrual period is another sign of early pregnancy.

Changes in nipple color

Women may notice a deepening of the color of the area surrounding the nipple, called the areola and/or a dark line going down from the middle of the central abdomen area to the pubic area (known as the linea nigra). Some degree of darkening of the areola persists after pregnancy in many women, but the linea nigra typically disappears in the months following delivery of the baby.

Melasma (darkening of the skin)

Some women may develop a so-called "mask of pregnancy" in the first trimester, referring to a darkening of the skin on the forehead, bridge of the nose, upper lip, or cheekbones. The darkened skin is typically present on both sides of the face. Doctors refer to this condition as melasma or chloasma, and it is more common in darker-skinned women than those with lighter skin. Melasma can also occur in some conditions other than pregnancy. Women who have a family history of melasma are at greater risk of developing this sign of pregnancy.

Mood swings and stress

Mood swings and stress are common symptoms reported by many women in the early stages of pregnancy. Many women in the early stages of pregnancy describe feelings of heightened emotions or even crying spells. The rapid changes in hormone levels are believed to cause these changes in mood. Pregnant women may also notice more rapid and drastic changes in their moods.

H1N1 Flu Information

2009-07-14T21:35:00.000-07:00

Basic Information about Novel H1N1 Flu

The novel H1N1 flu virus is unique, because it is a combination of genes from pig (swine), bird, and human flu viruses. People who are infected usually have flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have also reported diarrhea and vomiting.

Even though some severe illnesses and deaths from novel H1N1 flu have been reported, most cases have been similar to seasonal flu and have not resulted in severe illness. Most cases have occurred in children and younger adults.
Recommendations for Travel to Areas Reporting Novel H1N1 Flu

CDC recommends that travelers at high risk for complications from any form of flu discuss their travel plans with their doctor. Together, they should look carefully at the H1N1 flu situation in their destination and the available health-care options in the area. They should discuss their specific health situations and possible increased risk of traveling to the area affected by novel H1N1 flu.

Travelers at high risk for complications include:

* Children less than 5 years of age
* Persons aged 65 years or older
* Children and adolescents (less than 18 years) who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy and who might be at risk for experiencing Reye syndrome after influenza virus infection
* Pregnant women
* Adults and children who have chronic pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, hematological, neurologic, neuromuscular, or metabolic disorders
* Adults and children who have immunosuppression (including immunosuppression caused by medications or by HIV)

Healthy people may make travel plans as they normally would and take common sense precautions to protect their health during travel.
Before Your Trip

If you are planning travel to an area where cases of novel H1N1 flu are being reported, the following recommendations will help you reduce your risk of infection and stay healthy.
Prepare for your trip

* Stay informed. Check updates from the sources listed in the “Current Situation” section above.
* Be sure you are up-to-date with all your routine vaccinations, including seasonal influenza vaccine, when available.
* Find out about the other health risks and travel recommendations for your destination.
* Pack a travel health kit that contains basic first aid and medical supplies.
* Identify the health-care resources in the area(s) you will be visiting.
* Find out if your health insurance plan will cover medical care during your trip; many insurance companies do NOT cover these costs.
o CDC recommends purchasing additional insurance that covers medical care costs during international travel and medical evacuation.
o For more information, see Medical Information for Americans Traveling Abroad from the U.S. Department of State.
o Remember that U.S. embassies, consulates and military facilities do not evacuate or give medications, vaccines, or medical care to private U.S. citizens during international travel.

Check your own health

Do not travel if you are sick.

If you have flu-like symptoms, you should stay home and avoid travel for 7 days after you get sick or for at least 24 hours after you stop having symptoms, whichever is longer. This is to keep others from getting the virus.

* Symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.
* Some people also have diarrhea and vomiting.

During Your Trip
Follow local guidelines

* Pay attention to announcements from the local government and monitor the local health and security situation.
* Follow any movement restrictions and prevention recommendations.
* Be aware that some countries are checking the health of arriving and/or exiting passengers and screening them for illness due to novel H1N1 flu to prevent others from getting sick. For more information, see the Possible International Travel Delays Due to Novel H1N1 Flu Screening Procedures announcement.

Practice healthy habits to help stop the spread of novel H1N1 flu

* Wash your hands often with soap and running water, especially after coughing or sneezing.
o Use alcohol-based hand gels (containing at least 60% alcohol) when soap is not available and hands are not visibly dirty.
* Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and put your used tissue in the trash. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands.
* Avoid close contact with sick people.

What to do if you feel sick

* It is expected that most people will recover without needing medical care.
* If you have severe illness or you are at high risk for flu complications, seek medical care.
* A U.S. consular officer can help you find local medical care in a foreign country. To contact the U.S. embassy or consulate in the country you are visiting, call Overseas Citizens Services at:
o 1-888-407-4747 if calling from the U.S. or Canada,
o 00-1-202-501-4444 if calling from other countries, or
o Visit Websites of U.S. Embassies, Consulates, and Diplomatic Mission to find the contact information for the local U.S. Embassy of the country you are visiting.
* Avoid further travel for 7 days after your symptoms begin or until you have been symptom-free for 24 hours, whichever is longer.
* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
* Wash your hands often with soap and running water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand gels are also effective.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
* Follow all local health recommendations. For example, if you are sick, you may be asked to put on a surgical mask to protect others or to stay in your home or hotel to prevent the spread of novel H1N1 flu.
* For more information about what to do if you become sick while you are traveling outside the United States, visit Your Survival Guide for Safe and Healthy Travel.

Breast Cancer Research

2009-07-14T00:49:00.000-07:00

Dear reader today we talking about a breast cancer research, everybody know that Marfan syndrome is a progressive genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue. let me introduction to you the other fact.

Peripherally localized aromatase, which converts circulating androgens into estrogens, is important in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal breast cancers. We have previously shown that aromatase mRNA levels are higher in elderly breast cancers (EldCa) than breast cancers of the control group (ContCa) or normal breast tissues. Aromatase expression has been reported to be regulated through the alternative use of multiple exons 1 (exons 1a-1f etc); however, the preferential usage of exons 1 in elderly breast tissue has never been systematically examined. In order to properly treat and protect against EldCa, the regulation mechanism of aromatase expression in elderly breast tissues should be elucidated. The aim of the present study is to elucidate whether there are any specific patterns in use of multiple exons 1 in elderly breast tissue.
Methods

Usage of multiple exons 1 of the aromatase gene and mRNA levels of aromatase were examined by reverse transcription-PCR analysis in breast tissues of 38 elderly patients with breast cancer (age 80-99), and the results were compared with those in 35 patients of the control group (age 37-70). One-factor ANOVA and the Scheffe test were used for the comparison of aromatase mRNA levels. Patterns of preferential utilization of multiple exons 1 of the aromatase gene were compared by Chi-squared test for independence or Fisher's exact test for independence using a contingency table.
Results

Exon 1d was utilized much more frequently in elderly tissue than in the control group irrespective of cancerous or normal tissue (EldCa, 36/38, 95% versus ContCa, 7/35, 20%, P <>1c; EldNorm, all 1c >1d).
Conclusions

Elderly breast tissues exhibited specific patterns in use of multiple exons 1, which at least partly explained the higher aromatase levels in EldCa. The mechanisms of how these specific patterns occur during aging and carcinogenesis should be further examined. hm..i think people you should be have insurance Fraud

What Is The Brain??

2009-07-13T23:36:00.000-07:00

The brain is a soft, spongy mass of tissue. It is protected by the bones of the skull and three thin membranes called meninges. Watery fluid called cerebrospinal fluid cushions the brain. This fluid flows through spaces between the meninges and through spaces within the brain called ventricles.

A network of nerves carries messages back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body. Some nerves go directly from the brain to the eyes, ears, and other parts of the head. Other nerves run through the spinal cord to connect the brain with the other parts of the body. Within the brain and spinal cord, glial cells surround nerve cells and hold them in place.

The brain directs the things we choose to do (like walking and talking) and the things our body does without thinking (like breathing). The brain is also in charge of our senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell), memory, emotions, and personality.

The three major parts of the brain control different activities:

* Cerebrum - The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is at the top of the brain. It uses information from our senses to tell us what is going on around us and tells our body how to respond. It controls reading, thinking, learning, speech, and emotions.

The cerebrum is divided into the left and right cerebral hemispheres, which control separate activities. The right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body. The left hemisphere controls the muscles on the right side of the body.

* Cerebellum - The cerebellum is under the cerebrum at the back of the brain. The cerebellum controls balance and complex actions like walking and talking.

* Brain Stem - The brain stem connects the brain with the spinal cord. It controls hunger and thirst. It also controls breathing, body temperature, blood pressure, and other basic body functions.

Vegetarianism : long2life

2009-07-09T20:23:00.000-07:00

Health conscious people are concerned about their diet. Information about nutritional guidelines and healthy eating is easily found; the hard part is taking what we know and putting it into practice. A growing number of Americans are turning towards vegetarianism as a path of good health practices. The basic principle of being a vegetarian is giving up meat and fish and then generally replacing it with more fresh fruit, vegetables, and grains. The most common form is a lacto-ovo vegetarian, which means that you eat milk (lacto) and egg (ovo) products. The more extreme options cut out one or both of these types of products. When both are restricted it is called vegan. you can see in the picture above pyramid of health.

One factor in your decision may be money. It is true that the United States sells meat cheaper than most other places in the world, but it is still what people spend the most on in grocery stores.

Another factor is time. If you choose to become a vegetarian you will most likely go to the supermarket more frequently because you will buy more fresh products at lower quantities to keep them from going bad. It will also take longer to prepare fresh food than if you were to just pop a frozen chimichanga in the microwave.

The main issue however, is health. The American Dietetic Association said the following: "appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases." Planning is essential to vegetarianism. You need to think about the nutrients you are forgoing in taking meat out of your diet and make a plan to compensate for them. Some of the major deficiencies that can occur in vegetarianism are with iron, calcium, essential fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin B12, zinc, and protein. You need to research what foods are rich in these nutrients so can alter your diet and maintain your health (see burn fat fast diet ). You will also need to take a multivitamin because some of these nutrients are difficult to get good amounts of even when you do eat meat.

Many diseases have been shown to be prevented or aided by eating more fruits and vegetables. The obvious side effect of this healthy lifestyle is to reduce obesity. Some factors relating to weight are genetic but diet and exercise play the biggest role in control of this disease. Another finding is that eating many fruits and vegetables helps prevent cancer. Dozens of plant foods have cancer fighting agents that could save your life someday. Other diseases affected are diabetes, strokes, and heart disease. There are surely other effects and benefits that we have not yet studied or do not fully understand.

Other considerations such as culture, environmental concerns, or taste may also affect your decision but it is really a choice that is up to you. Vegetarianism is one option of healthy living, and as long as you find a good multivitamin and are careful with your nutritional needs, you will find it to be beneficial to your health.

Health insurance fraud : did you know???

2009-07-08T22:42:00.000-07:00

hello dear Healthiness reader
did you know???

Health insurance fraud represents one of America's largest taxpayer rip-offs ever, costing Americans literally billions of dollars every year.

Due to rampant deception, scams and abuse in the health care system, consumers are forced to pay the price—literally—through escalating medical costs and rising health insurance premiums.

And government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, designed to help the low-income and elderly, represent two of the biggest losers of all.

Health Insurance Scams

According to the Insurance Information Institute, health providers and facilities such as doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic labs and attorneys routinely attempt to defraud the health insurance system…with devastating results.

How do they do it? In a number of ways, including:

1. Billing health insurance companies for expensive treatments, tests or equipment patients never had or never received
2. Double- or triple-billing health insurers for the same treatments
3. Giving health care recipients unnecessary, dangerous, or life-threatening treatments
4. Selling low-cost health insurance coverage from fake insurance companies
5. Stealing medical information and using it to bill health insurance companies for phantom treatments

If health insurance fraud knocks on your door, these types of scams may leave you with medical debts, damaged credit ratings, falsified health records, a high level of stress and overpriced health insurance premiums…or the inability to get any health insurance at all.

So what can you do about it?

Report it; then fight back!

What to Watch For

The first step to fighting health insurance fraud is keeping your eyes and ears open for abuse.

Be especially watchful for providers who:

* Charge your health insurance company for services you never received or medical procedures you don't need
* Give you prescriptions for controlled substances for no justified medical reason
* Bill your health insurance company for brand-name drugs when you actually get generics
* Misrepresent cosmetic or other health care procedures not usually covered by health insurance plans as covered

If you notice a health care provider doing any of these things, keep all supporting paperwork handy for reference, and then contact your health insurance company to let them know.

Then, if you're a Medicare or Medicaid recipient, call the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and report the abuse.

Finally, contact your state department of insurance or the local police.

Fighting Health Insurance Fraud

To keep yourself from falling victim to health insurance fraud, take the following steps to fight back:

* Check with your state insurance department to make sure your health insurance company is licensed in your state.
* Check out your health insurance company for consumer complaints, fraud convictions and bankruptcies through your state department of insurance.
* Keep detailed medical records.
* Carefully review your billing statements.
* Never sign blank insurance claim forms.
* Avoid salespeople offering free health services or advice.
* Protect your medical records and information.
* Make sure you know what your health insurance policy covers—and what it doesn't.
* Never pay your health insurance premiums in cash.
* Be wary if you're asked to pay a full year's premium up front.
* Be on guard against medical providers claiming to be connected with federal programs or the government.
* Beware of health insurance companies offering you coverage at an unreasonably low price.
* Ask your health insurance provider about anything you don't understand regarding your bills.

Making a Difference

Protect your right to health insurance, lower your premiums and keep your medical information safe. All it takes is a little education, a watchful eye, and the willingness to make a difference!

weight loss : burn fat fast diet

2009-07-08T22:29:00.000-07:00

before you read this trick may be you wanna or interesting to read this first marfan syndrom
this about your health.
Many have asked the question, is there a burn fat fast diet that works? Although diet fads and crash diets might yield temporary results, generally they are unsafe and wreck havoc in your body over the long term. Experts advise to steer clear of anything that promises overnight or immediate results and rather invest your time in developing a burn fat fast diet that works for you.

How and when fat is '"burned" and how that affects body fat levels and weight is a very intricate area of physiological research. There have been hundreds of studies exploring the utilization of fat for energy and there is still much to be understood, but this is what we know for sure: diet and exercise go hand in hand and both components are to be incorporated into a successful burn fat fast diet.

In a nutshell, when your body moves it needs energy. The amount of energy needed is measured as a calorie (which is a unit of heat). The fuel to produce this energy comes from several sources, mostly fat and carbohydrates (glucose), and occasionally amino acids (protein). These sources of energy are found in the things we eat.

A good burn fat fast diet does not mean starving yourself. It simply means that what you eat needs to be well balanced, healthy and that your portions are appropriately rationed. Fried chicken and burgers although good tasting, are not going to help your cause. However, there are certain "super foods" that will aid you in your quest to burn fat and more importantly, will help you do so fast.

When it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, there are many wonderful choices such as blueberries, apples, oranges and tomatoes. These work due to their high fiber content and will help you to feel fuller for longer, aid digestion, and ultimately build up a leaner frame. The most powerful food from this family, however, is the tomato.

This super food contains enzymes that can increase the metabolic rate of the body, thus helping you to burn calories faster and more efficiently. This is a lifesaver on any Burn fat fast diet and a key to your success when it comes to dropping weight. Also, logically you would need to stay away from high sugar, high starch, and high processed foods. These are absolute no-nos when trying to lose weight.

The truth of the matter is: In order to sustain long-term weight loss plan you need to adopt new habits and keep them for a lifetime. We simply cannot eat whatever we want, whenever we want to and expect to get away with it. We can eat takeaways occasionally, just not all the time.

The most important thing to remember is to take care of yourself as you work to burn the fat. Eating well and exercising regularly should be an integral part of a living a healthy lifestyle and will prove to be your best weapon when wanting to burn off unwanted fat and to keep it off for good. now may you think that the health is so importen better than all

Marfan Syndrome

2009-07-06T23:03:00.000-07:00

Marfan syndrome is a progressive genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue. Connective tissue is everywhere in the body, providing structure and support for cells. Think of it as a sort of "glue" that helps support every organ, blood vessel, bone, joint, and muscle.

In people with Marfan syndrome, this "glue" is weaker than normal because of a defect in the body's production of the protein fibrillin, a major component of connective tissue. Weakened connective tissue can lead to problems in many parts of the body, especially the heart, eyes, and bones.

Even though the disease has no cure, the good news is that doctors can successfully treat just about all of its symptoms. Just a few decades ago, most people with Marfan syndrome didn't live past 40. Now, thanks to new research and treatments, those who are diagnosed early and get good medical care have just about the same lifespan as everyone else.

Current research on a group of medications called ACE inhibitors appears extremely promising and is likely to further improve the health of people with Marfan syndrome.
Causes

Marfan syndrome is pretty rare, affecting about 1 in every 5,000 people. Researchers have traced the disorder to a defect in a gene found on chromosome 15. It's this mutation (change) that causes the abnormality in the production or the structure of fibrillin.

About 75% of the time, the gene for Marfan syndrome runs in families, getting passed down to kids from parents who have the disease. The gene is autosomal dominant, which means every child born to a parent who has Marfan syndrome has a 50% chance of having it too.

In the remaining 25% of cases, though, neither parent has the disease; the genetic mutation responsible for Marfan syndrome occurs spontaneously in either the egg or sperm cell at the time of conception. No one knows what causes this mutation, but those born with it have a 50% chance of passing it on to their kids.

Although people with Marfan syndrome often have similar physical features, the disease doesn't affect everyone in the same way. Some have very mild symptoms, while others have severe ones — even within the same family. This is known as "variable expression," and it makes it almost impossible to predict how the disease will progress in any affected individual.

Signs and Symptoms

People with Marfan syndrome are often (but not always) much taller than their family members and peers and have a lean, lanky build. Their fingers and toes are usually long and thin, and their joints are loose. Their arms and legs are often disproportionately long when compared with their torso, and their arm span is often a lot greater than their height. They may share some facial characteristics, too, including a long, thin face; deep-set eyes; a small jaw; a high, arched roof of the mouth; and crowded teeth.

They are also susceptible to complications in the following body systems:
Heart and Blood Vessels

The most serious complication of Marfan syndrome involves the heart. Over time, the disorder can cause the aorta — the large artery that carries blood away from the heart to the body — to stretch and dilate (widen). If undetected or untreated, the wall of the aorta can eventually begin to tear and separate, allowing blood to leak through (this is known as an aortic dissection). A large, sudden rupture can be fatal.

Problems with the heart valves are common too. Instead of closing tightly, valves (usually the mitral and/or aortic valves) may become large and floppy, allowing blood to leak backwards through the heart. A minor leak may cause few symptoms, but a large one can cause shortness of breath and an irregular heartbeat, as well as a heart murmur. Leaky heart valves cause the heart to work harder and become enlarged, so they must be carefully monitored.
Eyes

More than half of all people with Marfan syndrome have a condition known as "dislocated lenses." That means the lenses of the eye, which are usually centered behind the pupil and held in place with connective tissue, may shift up, down, or to the side. Vision problems may occur depending on the position of the lens. The vision problems may require glasses at first, and later may require surgery.

People with Marfan syndrome also often have myopia (nearsightedness), and they are at greater risk for developing other problems — like detached retinas (when the light-sensing tissue at the back of the eye comes loose), glaucoma (high pressure in the eye), or cataracts (cloudy lenses) — earlier in life than other people. Young children are especially prone to developing amblyopia (lazy eye).
Skeleton

In addition to excessive height and long limbs, Marfan syndrome may cause other skeletal problems, such as scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and chest wall abnormalities (the chest bone may either curve in or protrude out, giving the chest a sunken-in or a pigeon-breasted appearance). Overly loose joints and flat feet are common.

Other symptoms may affect the skin, nervous system, and lungs, but these tend to be less common and less serious, especially in kids and teens.
Diagnosing Marfan Syndrome

There's no single test for diagnosing Marfan syndrome. Diagnosis depends on detailed exams by a team of doctors, including a geneticist (a doctor who specializes in inherited disorders), a cardiologist (heart specialist), ophthalmologist (eye doctor), and an orthopedist (bone specialist).

First, a geneticist will ask about any family history of the disorder or whether any relatives died early from heart-related deaths. He or she may also take detailed skeletal measurements.

A cardiologist may listen for a heart murmur and will likely perform tests such as:

* a chest X-ray
* an electrocardiogram (EKG), which measures electrical activity in the heart
* an echocardiogram, which uses sound waves to produce a picture of the heart to check the size of the aorta and the functioning of the valves

An ophthalmologist may perform a "slit lamp" test (a slit lamp allows the doctor to see the front of the eye under high magnification) while the eyes are dilated to check for lens dislocation and any other abnormalities.

An orthopedist will check for curvatures of the spine and chest bone, as well as joint problems and flat feet.

The criteria for diagnosis of Marfan syndrome are very strict, mainly because many features of the syndrome also appear in the general population (obviously, not every tall, thin person with long fingers has the disorder), and because other connective tissue diseases have overlapping features.

If there's already a family history established, a diagnosis of Marfan syndrome can be based upon problems in two of the body systems known to be affected.

If there's no family history, diagnosis requires very specific findings in at least three body systems. This can be frustrating for parents because symptoms may not appear during childhood but emerge over time, and a definitive diagnosis can sometimes take years. Luckily, doctors can treat symptoms even before there's a firm diagnosis.

Genetic laboratory testing may be available for Marfan syndrome, but so far its use has been limited. A genetic counselor can provide more information on this option. Prenatal testing is currently not available.
Monitoring and Treatment

Kids and teens with Marfan syndrome must be followed closely by a team of doctors. Because their bodies grow and change so quickly, most will need echocardiograms at least once a year, plus frequent eye and bone exams. This helps doctors stay on top of any new problem.

Kids and teens with Marfan syndrome can do many things to help keep themselves healthy. The most important is to avoid putting extra stress on the heart. That means avoiding contact sports or any activity that involves a lot of running, muscle straining, or the risk of a blow to the chest — things like basketball, football, baseball, gymnastics, weightlifting, and track, to name a few.

But that doesn't mean they're destined to be couch potatoes. They can and should play, exercise, and generally be active — they just have to learn to be a little more careful. Although a doctor should always have the final say about what activities are safe, things like non-competitive bike riding, swimming, dancing, walking — anything that's low-impact and can be done at a slower pace — usually get the green light.

Many of the complications of Marfan syndrome can be managed with medications and, if necessary, surgery. Medications known as beta blockers work to lower blood pressure and reduce wear and tear on the blood vessels, and can often delay the progression of aortic dilation. If the aorta does eventually widen to a potentially dangerous size, or if valve leakage becomes a problem, surgery may be recommended either to repair or replace the damaged parts of the heart.

Kids who are nearsighted or who have amblyopia (lazy eye) will probably have to wear glasses. Teens may be able to wear contact lenses. In some cases, if the lens of the eye becomes severely dislocated or if there are other complications, surgery may be necessary.

Kids who develop scoliosis may have to wear a special back brace. Sometimes severe cases of scoliosis and chest wall abnormalities may require surgery. Some teens may want to have surgery for cosmetic reasons.

Anyone with heart problems associated with Marfan syndrome (especially anyone who's had heart surgery) should always take antibiotics before going to the dentist to prevent bacterial endocarditis, an infection of the walls of the heart caused when bacteria enter the bloodstream. It is recommended that kids and teens with Marfan syndrome wear a medical alert bracelet, in case there is an accident and the patient can't explain his or her medical condition.

Teen girls with Marfan syndrome should also be made aware that pregnancy puts extra strain on the heart and may increase the risk of damage to the aorta.
Caring for Your Child

It's not easy to learn your child has a genetic disorder. It's normal to have a whole range of emotions, from fear and anger to sadness and guilt. But the genetic mutation that causes Marfan syndrome is nobody's fault and could not have been prevented.

The first thing you can do to help your child is to educate yourself and seek out doctors who are knowledgeable about the disease and its management. An experienced medical team is your child's best chance to prevent or delay complications. Your family may also benefit from a visit with a genetic counselor.

Other tips for helping your child cope:

* Be honest when faced with questions about the disease, from your child or others. Your child will be reassured that you're at ease discussing it.
* Promote healthy self-esteem and body image from an early age by acknowledging your child's differences in a positive light. Also teach your child constructive ways to deal with teasing.
* Try to lead younger kids gently toward activities they won't have to give up later — for example, encourage music or computers over basketball. If your child is older when diagnosed and is forced to give up some favorite sports, encourage the development of other talents and interests.
* Keep in touch with teachers and explain that even though Marfan syndrome doesn't affect your child's intelligence, some modifications may be needed in class (such as letting your child sit near the board if vision is a problem).
* Talk to the P.E. teacher about safe vs. unsafe activities, and ask that your child be included even when he or she cannot compete (for example, if your child can't play in the soccer game, can he or she be the scorekeeper?).
* Encourage exercising. Staying active is important for everyone, even kids with Marfan syndrome, so ask your doctor for a list of appropriate activities.
* Above all, remember that kids need to be kids! Children with Marfan syndrome need to play and laugh and learn that there's so much more they can do than they can't.

If you or your child needs help adjusting to a diagnosis of Marfan syndrome, look for a support group near you or seek professional counseling.
When to Call the Doctor

Although aortic dissections are extremely rare in kids, call the doctor if your child has chest pain, shortness of breath (especially during exercise), an irregular pulse, sudden weakness or tingling in the legs and arms, or an unexplained fever. Also call the doctor if your child experiences any sudden vision changes.

The Flouride

2009-07-06T22:39:00.000-07:00

in my first article i've talking about fluoride for health

There's fluoride in your toothpaste and even in your water. But how does it work to keep teeth healthy? Let's find out.

Fluoride is a natural element found in the earth's crust as well as in water and air. It's also considered a nutrient because our bodies need fluoride to grow and develop properly. Decades ago, scientists discovered that kids who naturally had more fluoride in their drinking water had fewer cavities. In the mid-1940s, communities started to put more fluoride in their water supplies to protect people against tooth decay.

Fluoride helps because, when teeth are growing, it mixes with tooth enamel — that hard coating on your teeth. That prevents tooth decay, or cavities. But fluoride can help even after your teeth are formed. It works with saliva to protect tooth enamel from plaque and sugars. By using fluoride toothpaste, for instance, everyone can enjoy some cavity protection. Fewer cavities means healthier teeth when you're an adult — and less chance of having to wear false teeth (dentures) when you're old!

So how do you get your fluoride? Ask your dentist the next time you have an appointment. In addition to fluoride toothpaste, he or she might recommend a mouthwash that has fluoride in it. And if your drinking water doesn't have fluoride in it, your dentist might suggest supplements — which are like vitamins containing fluoride.

Just how effective is fluoridated water? Thanks to it, dentists say half of kids between 5 and 17 have never had a cavity in their permanent teeth. We hope you're one of them!

Breast Cancer Symptoms

2009-06-10T00:26:00.000-07:00

Reported breast cancer symptoms include:

* discharge from the nipple(clear or bloody)
* persistent tenderness of the breast
* pain in the nipple
* swelling or mass in the armpit (lymph nodes)
* inverted or scaly nipples
* a lump that can be felt, no matter how small
* swelling of the breast

Sometimes

there are no symptoms of breast cancer when it is in the early stages. If you notice a lump, or are experiencing anything unusual, you must report the symptoms to your doctor as soon as possible. Performing a monthly self breast exam is the one of the best ways to notice any changes in your breasts. other way to find the breast cancer research

Types of Breast Cancer

2009-06-04T00:39:00.000-07:00

The two most common types of breast cancer are named after the parts of the breast in which they start.

* Ductal Carcinoma: starts in the cells which line the breast's ducts, beneath the nipple and areola. The ducts supply milk to the nipple. Between 85% and 90% of all breast cancers are ductal. If the cancer is DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ), it is well contained, not invasive, and can be very successfully treated. Usually removed during a lumpectomy, if the tumor margins are clear of cancer, follow-up treatment may include radiation. If ductal cancer has broken into nearby breast tissue (invasive cancer) then a mastectomy may be needed, and your doctor may also recommend chemotherapy.
* Lobular Carcinoma: begins in the lobes, or glands which produce milk in the breast. The lobes are located deeper inside the breast, under the ducts. About 8% of breast cancers are lobular. If the cancer is LCIS (lobular carcinoma in situ) that means the cancer is limited within the lobe and has not spread. It may be removed during a lumpectomy, if the tumor margins are clear of cancer, follow-up treatment may include radiation. If lobular cancer has spread into nearby breast tissue (invasive cancer) then a mastectomy may be needed, and your doctor may also recommend chemotherapy.

Secondmost common is a group of breast cancers that invade nearby tissue:

* Invasive (Infiltrating) Breast Cancer
Invasive, or infiltrating, breast cancer has the potential to spread out of the original tumor site and invade other parts of your breast and body. There are several types and subtypes of invasive breast cancer.

This rare form of breast cancer is named for its appearance:

* Inflammatory Breast Cancer: is the least common, but most aggressive of breast cancers, taking the form of sheets or nests, instead of lumps. It can start in the soft tissues of the breast, just under the skin, or it can appear in the skin. Unlike ductal and lobular cancers, it is treated first with chemotherapy and then with surgery. When caught early, inflammatory breast cancer can be a manageable disease, and survival rates are increasing.

Least common is a cancer of the nipple, named for Sir James Paget, who first noticed the relationship between changes in the nipple and the underlying breast cancer:

* Paget's disease of the nipple/areola often looks like a skin rash, or rough skin. It resembles eczema, and can be itchy. The itching and scabs (if scratched) are signs that cancer may be under the surface of the skin, and is breaking through. Paget's is usually treated with a mastectomy, because the cancer has by then invaded the nipple, areola, and the milk ducts. Although Sir James has several other diseases named for him (bone disease and disease of the vulva) those conditions are not related to this condition of the breast.

lymph nodes

2009-06-01T00:33:00.000-07:00

Definition: Lymph nodes are oval-shaped masses of tissue that act as filters for a fluid called lymph. They are responsible for removing cell waste and ultimately help the body fight off infection.

Lymph nodes are scattered throughout the body, wherever there is lymphatic tissue, like in the armpit, groin, neck, pelvis and abdomen. In these areas, some lymph nodes can be palpated -- they feel like a pea or small bean.

Enlarged, or swollen lymph nodes, can indicate infection, cancer or another disease that affects the lymphatic system. Most typically, swollen lymph nodes are related to a minor infection that the immune system is fighting, like the common cold or even a tooth abscess. Nodes that are immobile, hard and non-tender are linked to cancer. Swollen lymph nodes that do not shrink down to their normal size or become larger need to evaluated by a physician.

Pronunciation: limf node
Also Known As: lymph gland
Examples: They removed 6 lymph nodes from her abdomen.

Prostat Cancer

2009-03-07T00:07:00.000-08:00

Description

Prostat cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in the prostat gland. This disease usually attacks the men aged over 70 years and in all men aged over 90 years. Prostat cancer is rarely found in men aged less than 40 year. prostat cancer is a cause of death due to cancer in men, no 3 and is a major cause of death due to cancer in men over 74 years. The causes are unknown, although some studies have shown the relationship between high dietary fat and increase hormone testosteron level.

Symptoms

Most of prostat cancer does not cause symptoms because of spreading is very slow. In some cases, cancer prostat new terdiagnosis after spread to the bones (especially pelvis, rib and spinal column) or to the kidneys (causing kidney failure). Cause painful bone cancer and brittle bones become so easy to fraktur (broken bones).

Although the early symptoms is not clearly visible, in most cancer prostat often found some of the signs. Among others, usually urine-still will netes, pain when urinating, pain when ejakulasi, the lower back pain, pain when defecate, and a decrease in body weight.

Medicine

Up to now have not found a patent medicine for this disease. However, scientists are developing a new drug called Abiraterone as a cure for cancer prostat

What Is Health ?

2009-01-18T19:26:00.000-08:00

Health is metabolic efficiency. Sickness is metabolic inefficiency. Nobody is totally healthy or totally sick. Each of us is a unique combination of health and sickness. And each of us has a unique combination of abilities and disabilities, both emotional and physical.

As we grow up,

we learn that we are loved for our abilities but hated for our disabilities. This happens at home, at play, at school, and at work. Sometimes, this even happens with our doctors, especially if our disabilities mystify them or remind them of their own disabilities.

So, we try to hide our disabilities from people and from ourselves. This charade undermines our relationships and our self-esteem. We learn to fear society and hate ourselves.

Self-hatred is the most debilitating sickness. It interferes with our ability to seek and accept help. And everybody needs help. How do we free ourselves from self-hatred?

First, we reclaim our disabilities, whether society accepts them or not. This means that we learn to accept ourselves. Then, we cope with our disabilities. This means that we learn to take care of ourselves.
