TREATMENT OF MOSQUITO NETS WITH PERMETHRIN(DENGUE FEVER)

Posted on 9:21 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

after an article about dengue fever, this time I will post an article about how effective the treatment or prevention for dengue fever

Correct use of mosquito nets is essential if accommodation is not air- conditioned. For added protection of up to 3 months or longer, a safe and effective treatment which can be used on curtains and drapes as well as mosquito nets is to soak the nets in 1% solution of PERMETHRIN (or other repellent /insecticide). If resident in a malaria area, curtains can be treated in a similar manner.

The chemical is available from SHELL as a 20% emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and from ICI as 'AMBUSH' 50% EC. The application rate is 0.5g/sqm of net. Therefore a net of 6 sqm using 25% permethrin EC will require 6m x 0.5g/sqm = 3g permethrin. This is contained in 3g x 100 / 20 = 15ml of 20% EC or 3gx100 / 50 = 6ml of 50%. Experience has found that approximately 150ml of water is required as a wetting agent.

Suggested method:

1. Mix EC with water in measured quantities
2. Ruffle the net and place in a stout plastic sack
3. Pour the permethrin solution over the net in the plastic bag
4. Hold the plastic bag at the neck and work the bag to ensure the permethrin solution is applied over the entire surface of the net.
5. Take out the damp net and place it on top of the plastic bag to dry.
6. If there is residual solution in the bag, repeat 2, 4 and 5 again.

A mosquito net treated in this way is effective for up to three months.

We trust this information will assist you to make correct choices for your health and welfare. However it is not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for personalized medical advice from your medical advisor.

Our appreciation to Dr. Uwe Stocker and Dr. Rene de Jongh of International SOS, An AEA Company who has contributed this article in response to a growing health threat faced by expatriates in Indonesia.

Banning online Gambling effects

Posted on 5:12 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

There is a unique article entitled Effects of the Banning Online Gambling. This article comes from readbud. let us refer to the following article

Everyone talks about the negative impact of online gambling, but they are not talking about the negative impact of banning online gambling.

A reason for banning online casinos was to make sure that underage children were not using thee parents credit cards to gamble online, but besides the fact that most online casinos did everything possible to ensure to verify the age of the account holder before allowing any gambling to occur, but by banning it you are only stopping the law abiding casinos from taking bets and not the less reputable online casinos. They will use third party account like PayPal ore Click2pay which provide a loophole in the new law.

By banning an activity especially such a popular activity as online gambling all that can be expected to happen is for people to find ways around the law, such as the Speakeasies of the 1920's.

A Speakeasy was a nightclub that served Alcohol during prohibition and was usually hidden in the back rooms of pet stores and innocent looking book stores. Every time a speakeasy was raided the next night another one was opened, and this is what will happen with these online casinos. If the government finds one operating in the USA and gets it shut down or manages to stop the money flowing to it then another will open.

By regulating online gambling the government would know exactly who was running the casino to make sure they were running it honestly and within all the laws, and it would help make sure that the criminal element did not get rich and gain power a second time in the history of the USA because of a bad lawmaking decision. <




Another reason given for the ban of online gambling was to help protect against a rise in problem gamblers from have casino gamming in your home 24 hrs a day, but no proof has ever been found that shows that people who would normally not be inclined to go to a casino and gamble would decide to do it just because it was now in their homes.

The facts actually show a steady rate of people with gambling problems and growing at the same rate it has been growing for over 25 years.

Many experts are now saying that there are some positives to the online gambling ban, but those positives would be even better if the industry was properly legalized and not, just by putting a mostly unenforceable law in place.

But this to be a pattern the government seems to always make, it is much like the war on drugs. Last time I checked thee was still a drug problem in this country even though drugs are illegal, yet in countries like Holland where the use of soft drugs like hash and grass are legal the number people with drug problems is much lower per capita then in the USA. This is because the money that is brought in the form of taxes from these sales goes to fund the public schools where they properly educate kids on the negative effects of these drugs, so most of the people who smoke are tourists and not the locals.

Maybe one day the government will learn from its past mistakes and make things right.

Surgery Mesothelioma

Posted on 3:54 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

Mesothelioma is a disease that popular and dangerous world ini.banyak ways that can be undertaken in the treatment of mesothelioma, including: treatment, surgery, and others.why and how operations can be done? let us refer to the following article

 Surgery for mesothelioma may be done for 1 of 2 reasons: to try to cure the cancer or to relieve (palliate) pain and other symptoms caused by the tumor.

Surgery to try to cure the cancer is also known as potentially curative surgery. This type of surgery may be an option if you are in otherwise good health and the cancer has not spread too far to be removed completely. Unfortunately, even when the surgeon can remove all of the cancer that can be seen, deposits of cancer cells too small to be seen with the naked eye are often left behind. These cells grow and divide, causing the cancer to come back some time after surgery. Because of this, not all doctors agree on the exact role of surgery. In most cases it is not likely to cure you but may extend your life. Still, potentially curative surgery is being done in some major cancer centers, and a few patients who have had the surgery have had long remissions of their disease.

Palliative surgery may be an option if the tumor has already spread beyond the mesothelium and is difficult to remove completely, or if you are too ill for a more extensive operation. The goal of this surgery is to relieve or prevent symptoms, as opposed to trying to cure the cancer.

Dengue Fever and

Posted on 8:02 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Dengue fever disease is very scary world. Especially in Indonesia. This disease is even a seasonal disease and always repeated in the rainy season. Let us find out about dengue fever disease ranging from small children to adult who contracted.

fever is a relatively common problem in Indonesia and periodically reaches epidemic proportions in Jakarta and other parts of Indonesia, usually every 4-5 years. Rarely fatal in fit adults, the patient is often left debilitated and requires considerable time for convalescence. Dengue Fever is most common during the rainy season (November - May) as the mosquito requires clean standing water to reproduce.

Dengue occurs due to infection by a flavivirus which is transmitted by the bite of the Aedes mosquito. (Unlike malaria, this disease occurs in greater Jakarta - urban dengue occurs in nearly all tropical countries).
SYMPTOMS
Certainly in the first stages of illness, dengue fever is difficult if not impossible to clinically distinguish from the many other possible causes of similar symptoms and signs.

IN ADULTS:

Following the deposit of the dengue virus in the skin by the bite, there is a an incubation period of 2 - 14 (usually 4 - 8) days.

Thereafter onset of symptoms is usually abrupt, coinciding with viremia (the virus multiplying in the bloodstream) with chills, headache, backache, weakness, pain behind the eyes, flushing of the face, muscle and joint pain, and lassitude. The joint and back pains can be very bad indeed; hence the older name 'breakbone fever'.

The temperature rapidly rises, often to 40°C (104°F), and there is a low heart rate (compared to the degree of, and other causes of, high fever). The blood pressure is often low also. A transient rash which blanches under pressure may be seen during the first 24 hours of fever.

During the 2nd to 6th day of fever, nausea and even vomiting may occur, and the patient may develop one or more of the following; skin hypersensitivity, generalized swelling of regional lymph nodes, swelling of the palms, changes in taste sensation, loss of appetite, constipation, anxiety and depression.

Within 2 to 4 days a temporary improvement can occur with a sudden drop in temperature and subjective improvement - for 24 hours until there is a second rapid temperature rise. A generalized morbilliform (“measles-like”) rash appears a characteristic rash on the trunk, limbs, palms and soles especially. (This second febrile phase does not invariably occur). This rash usually disappears in 1-5 days, the skin in these areas turns bright red and may peel. The temperature should fall back to normal and the infectious episode is effectively over.

Epistaxis (“nose bleeds”), petechiae (“red skin spots”) and purpuric skin lesions (“purple skin spots / bruises”) can occur at any stage of the disease, varying with age, sex, and type of dengue virus. Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, and excessive vaginal bleeding if menstruating can also occur, but do not usually occur in the majority of cases.

IN CHILDREN:

A fever occurs in nearly all dengue infections in children; the other most common symptoms are a red throat, a (usually mild) runny nose, cough, and mild gastrointestinal symptoms which of course may present similar to pharyngitis, influenza, and upper respiratory infections.

The presentation of dengue in the younger child is much less characteristic than in the older child and adult as above.
CONFIRMING THE DIAGNOSIS

There are no immediately useful tests for dengue fever which are unequivocally accurate. However the laboratory can be used to aid confirmation of a clinically suspicious case:

    * The white cell count is often low unlike in bacterial causes of fever.
    * The dengue blot test can give both false positive and false negative results, especially in the first week of the disease.
    * The diagnosis will in a large proportion of cases be based on clinical presentation and a characteristic
      drop of platelets in the blood (platelets are often low - normal is 150,000 - 400,000).

Definite confirmation of the diagnosis of dengue infection can be made by sophisticated tests, but the results are not available for two weeks or more after the onset of the illness (because two separate blood samples need to be tested (by the same lab) for dengue antibody levels, the first as soon as possible after the onset of the illness, the second 10-14 days later).

Convalescence can take weeks, and bed rest and antipyretics and analgesics are required. An attack produces immunity for a year or more, but only to the one of the four flavivirus strains responsible for the intial illness.
DENGUE HAEMORRHAGIC FEVER / DENGUE SHOCK SYNDROME

A rare complication of dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever, can occur, most often in small children and elderly adults. This can sometimes be a serious illness. If DHF / DSS occurs it will usually do so by day 3-5 of the fever.

IN CHILDREN

In children, the progression of disease is not always characteristic. A relatively mild first phase with an abrupt onset of fever, malaise, vomiting, headache anorexia and cough is succeeded 2-5 days later by weakness and, sometimes, physical collapse. Frequently, spots appear on the forehead, arms and legs, along with spontaneous bruises and bleeding from punctures where blood was taken. The more ill child may breathe rapidly and often effortfully; the pulse may be weak, rapid, and thready. Almost always patients have a positive “tourniquet test” (where a tourniquet i.e. a blood pressure cuff is applied and the skin demonstrates petechiae and / or bruising).

The WHO criteria for DHF are a platelet count of less than 100,000 and a haematocrit 20% greater then normal. Such children need to be hospitalized and watched for potential DSS. Such shock can be a mortal illness and requires rapid and careful in-hospital management with assiduous correction and replacement of fluid, electrolytes, plasma and sometimes fresh blood / platelet transfusions. The most useful laboratory test in suspected DHF is estimation of thrombocytes (platelets) which will be very low. In contrast to uncomplicated dengue fever the white cell count is more often high. Mortality ranges from 5 - 30% (in untreated native populations) and the highest risk is to infants under 1 year.
TREATMENT

There is no specific treatment for the infectious cause - the dengue virus - in either dengue fever or DHF / DSS. The symptoms can and should be treated, and in the rare cases of DSS, treatment for shock as well as a low platelet count is both essential and available - including fresh blood and / or platelet transfusion -but there is no medicine or vaccine anywhere available that can act specifically against the virus.

It has been suggested that DHF is more likely if the patient has previously had an attack of dengue within the last calendar year (generally within the last 8-12 months), and that the occurrence of DHF relates to this previous "sensitization". Previous exposure may raise the incidence of subsequent DHF, presumably (as experiments have shown) by the antibody elicited in response to the first infection, being capable of enhancing the infection due to the virus found in the second episode.

Uncontrolled bleeding distinguishes this from uncomplicated dengue fever. Bleeding can occur from the gums, nose, intestine, or under the skin as bruises or spots of blood especially under a tourniquet - this test should be employed if there is any suspicion. The liver is often enlarged.
TO AVOID GETTING DENGUE YOU MUST AVOID BEING BITTEN

In an epidemic, the emergency control measure is insecticide applied outside by vehicle-mounted or portable ultra-low-volume generators for a minimum 2 applications at 10 day intervals. The uncontrolled use of residual and space insecticides especially where inappropriate and possibly toxic materials are used, is to be avoided.

Do not allow indiscriminate use of insecticides around work sites or dwellings unless possible risks of their use are clearly understood. Know what you are doing and / or what chemical is being used.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST MOSQUITOES

All varieties of mosquitoes breed in or near water that is stagnant or slow moving. The importance of mosquitoes in transmission of disease makes adequate control of mosquito-breeding sites very important, especially those close to human habitation.

In the long term community education and participation are necessary to eliminate mosquito breeding sites, especially those close to human habitation as mosquitoes usually fly less than one kilometer from where they are hatched. Over 50 important diseases can be transmitted by the bite of infected female mosquitoes - among these are malaria, dengue, Japanese B encephalitis, yellow fever, and a variety of forest and jungle fevers. Urban mosquitoes breed in any pools of standing water such as empty tin cans, old tires and water filled tire tracks, coconut shells, and the saucers under domestic pot plants. Rural mosquitoes breed in rice paddies, stagnant ponds and slow moving streams. So destroy mosquitoes and their larvae (young) by:

    * Clearing the neighborhood of ponds and pits.
    * Covering all water containers and any objects that can trap rain water (tires, pots, etc.). Invert any used buckets and containers that can trap water, and ensure roof gutters are not clogged.
    * Filling in or draining areas of stagnant water except for swimming pools and ornamental pools if they are aerated by a pump or fountain or similar.
    * Use of larvicides or mosquito larvae-eating fish in waters that cannot be drained.
    * In endemic mosquito areas, insist owners, employers and landlords supply screens on doors and windows and mosquito nets on beds.
    * Changing water in flower pots once a week and washing them thoroughly. Do not let plants stand in trays containing water. Scrub trays weekly to get rid of any mosquito eggs.
    * Fill tree holes with sand or cement and plug the tops of bamboo fences.
    * Remove and destroy old tires.
    * Installing mosquito screens on doors and windows and mosquito nets on beds.
    * Avoid the uncontrolled use of residual and space insecticides, and the use of toxic materials. Do not allow indiscriminate use of insecticides unless possible risks of their use are clearly understood. Know what you are doing and / or what chemical is being used.

Personal protective measures can greatly reduce the risk of being bitten. The use of mosquito deterrents in bedrooms is effective to reduce the number of mosquitoes in the room, but it does not prevent mosquito bites all together. The chemical deterrent is released through an electronically heated impregnated pad or gel, and its effectiveness depends largely on the size and ventilation of the room.

Other personal protection methods include:

    * Use of mosquito coils and "knockdown spray" (containing pyrethoids)
      - spray insecticide in cool dark places where mosquitoes lurk.
    * Avoid use of dark colored clothing, perfumes and colognes in the
      evening and at night, as all these attract mosquitoes.
    * Use of an effective mosquito repellent on exposed skin and clothing.
      DEET (diethylmethylbenzamide) is an effective safe component of good
      repellents. The actual concentration of DEET varies widely between
      different manufacturers, and can be as high as 90% (too high for safety).
      Choose a repellent with between 30-45% DEET and take the following
      precautions against adverse reactions:
      a. apply sparingly and only to exposed skin
      b. never apply high concentrations to skin (use those for clothing)
      c. do not inhale / swallow repellent or get in eyes or mucous membranes
      d. do not apply to hands that may touch eyes or mouth
      e. do not apply to wounds, rashes, or abrasions
      f. wash repellent off after coming indoors to stay
      g. if skin starts to burn, wash repellent off and seek medical advice
      DEET-based repellents should last for up to 4 hours.

Meditation and the goal

Posted on 9:36 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Meditation becomes populer thing these day. Many people need peace and an escape from a sense of fatigue and stress. and they get quiet when doing meditation. What and hoe meditation exist? let us refer to the following article.
Meditation is an ancient ritual that is perfect for individuals seeking a bit of peace, quiet, and inner reflection into their daily lives. However, many individuals erroneously believe they do not have the appropriate time to devote to meditation. This practice does not require a special room and hours upon hours of inner reflection to be done properly and receive the most results. In fact, meditation can be done in any quiet corner, including your living room, office, hotel room, or even the airplane. In order to achieve the proper meditation in some of these places, you may need to practice certain techniques or bring along special devices that will block noise and ensure quiet for your designated meditation time.

Consider joining a meditation group so that you can effectively learn the methods of meditation before you attempt to meditate in unusual surroundings. The techniques and methods you learn through a learned meditation instructor will help you accomplish your own personal goals of meditation and inner exploration.

Meditation does not have to be incredibly time consuming. Make it a point to dedicate a few minutes each day to your meditation goals and spend some time reflecting inward. Mornings are excellent times to begin meditation, since you at the most at ease during this time and your home is probably the quietest. Consider waking up before the rest of your household to snag a few much needed minutes along in order to successfully complete your meditation process. This is critical for both men and women with children who find it hard to meditate amidst the noises and demands of children

When you are on the go, do not leave your meditation practices at home! Consider snapping up a pair of noise canceling headphones to block out noise on trains, planes, or automobiles. This will allow you the greatest sense of peace and quiet so that you can continue with your meditation techniques. Bring along a special meditation soundtrack of familiar tunes to which you can also block out unnecessary background noise in order to meditate.

Meditation can be an excellent way to unwind after a long day of traveling, so consider taking time to practice your techniques once you reach your destination. For individuals who are constantly calling hotel rooms home, it can be quite easy to miss your personal meditation space. For this reason, carry a small token or a few items with you on your travels to remind you of home. Consider bringing a favorite blanket, pillow, or mat to aid you in your meditation practices. Also, bring along a photograph of your family or friends to help with the homesickness.

Use scents to transport you to a more serene world. Aromatherapy has been used in conjunction with meditation for thousands of years. Consider beginning your meditation to comforting or exotic smells of incense or candles. For individuals on the go, consider bringing along travel candles or a vial of essential oil that you can leave open to pervade the atmosphere.

Exercise to maintain health

Posted on 3:45 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Stay in good health is everyone's dream. How we will carry out activities to support the life, work to support themselves, to families, communities and nations, charity events and worship if not supported with health.

Health is affected by many factors. There are innate factors, acquired factors and environmental factors. There can be addressed or disiasati, but there should be taken literally. If you stay in this city should be ready to breathe in air pollution. Worked nights must sacrifice sleep that night and so forth.

From one perspective we can see there are at least 3 groups of people to be healthy.

1. Imbued with a healthy birth and always naturally

2. Unconsciously to be healthy, because doing so the body becomes healthy.

3. Trying to be healthy

Each person may have one, but can all three. What is important is that each person must realize that to be healthy in most people do not come naturally like in the first group. Also only a small part in group two. That most of the people to be healthy as it sought in that direction as a group of three.

Need a lot of tricks to be done to make the body healthy and fit in the circumstances, such as lifestyle, diet, exercise and others. These moves is not really new stuff from the past everyone knew, but unfortunately it's just done a small part of it! Ask yourself or have seen in a small environment such as family, friends or neighbors. This paper aims to remind people the importance of exercise or sport. Exercise

Exercise (exercise) or exercise our bodies need to maintain health and stamina, but often overlooked people. Everyone knows that it is important to maintain health and stamina, but the most need for it only until the desire, discourse knowledge. Many others have done, but it is not done regularly. Pernyataaan that merits attention from health experts is, do the exercises only once a week (ie aerobic or mass sports activities in the office) is actually useless, or little value to health. The truth is to be done routinely and regularly. Periods depending on the severity of exercise performed.

As an illustration to dikemukanan, when the exercise was only about half an hour, can be performed daily with rest on Sundays. When it was done in about an hour and quite intensive, then 3 or 4 times a week is enough.

This means training all day or 7 times a week is also not good. There must be periods of rest, because the body needs it. . Similarly, if connected with the activities of one year. It is better to have a rest period in a couple months. For those who are Muslims, the month of fasting and after perhaps a suitable time to break them.

Any exercise done must be done regularly and periodically, there is a new health benefits.

Therefore, for those who are able, join in the fitness club will be better, because the instructors will guide it. But for those who do not enter the club, make your own or within their own group as well as good. Only needed to discipline. Indeed, this (discipline) is also the most difficult to enforce!

The main problem here is in fact often people find that exercise actually work, not fun even boring! Apparently the body so tired, be tired, inviting injury and other reasons.

For those who have been able to beat him and make it a habit, it does become fun. Scientifically shown the influence of endorphins produced by the body in people who do it regularly.

It would be more easily overcome when there in groups or types of sports recreation association that is done, such as badminton, tennis, table tennis, baske, golf and the like. Develop aerobic capacity

Aerobic, defined as the use of oxygen by the body. This illustrates the level of effectiveness in getting one's body and sends oxygen to the cells or muscles of the body that will be used in the procurement of energy and remove waste products of combustion from the results of metabolic waste.

This is an important part of one's efforts to achieve health and fitness. People who have good aerobic value (high) means to have a heart and lungs are working well (efficient), good blood circulation so as to meet the needs of cells, muscles or organs of the body without experiencing fatigue.

Those who practice and a good aerobic exercise will benefit:

1. Reduced risk of interference with the heart and blood vessels

2. Lowering blood pressure

3. The reduced levels of fat and cholesterol

4. The bones, joints and muscles become stronger.

5. Lose weight

6. Bring the excitement of living

7. improve stamina

From the results of psychological studies of people who have a high aerobic value felt, his fresh, fit, cheerful, more confident, tidunya soundly and have more energy.

Exercise can raise the value of general aerobic exercise that uses large muscles, can be done in a rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles which take place regularly, the intensity of his movement enough and is done continuously in a few minutes.

"People who have chronic infection in the oral cavity have a high risk of heart attack, stroke, and coronary artery disease," said Sally Cram, consumer adviser for the American Dental Association and periodontist in Washington, DC

Cram added: "When you have an infection around the gums and teeth, that goes into your blood, this condition will thicken and narrow their place. If you have a family history of heart disease, it is very important to be vigilant about oral health and dental."

2. Oral cancer
Each time you receive dental care, teeth and surrounding circumstances will be checked at once to find out if there is swelling or inflammation.

"Often, oral cancer have no symptoms. Doctors can gigilah shows it to you. "" People who have a high risk of developing this disease are smokers, and people who frequent consumption of alcoholic beverages. "

By looking at the tongue and gums, your dentist may be able to tell if the body lacks certain vitamins and nutrients. That need to be aware of is the color of pale tongue, which could be a sign of iron deficiency.

4. Diabetes
The condition of teeth and gums can indicate whether you are affected by diabetes or not. If you have a family history of diabetes, Cram recommends that you consult with your dentist regularly. Maybe then you are recommended to check their teeth regularly 2-4 times a year

Hopefully with this article you are no longer afraid to go to the dentist. may be useful.

About Vitamin B complex

Posted on 11:44 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

What do you think that vitamins? whether the vitamin is important for your body? Why are vitamins important for the body? and how to get a good source of vitamins? let us find out.

Vitamins are a huge part of our society. Although many vitamins help the body reach and maintain optimal health, one of the most beneficial vitamins is B complex. Comprised of a group of vitamins to include vitamin B1 or Thiamine, B2, which is the same as Riboflavin, B3 or Niacin, B5 or Panthothenic Acid, B6, which is Pyridoxine, B7 or Biotin, B12 or Cobalamin, and folic acid, PABA, Inositol, and Choline. Due to the rich nutrients that come from vitamin B complex, every cell of the body, especially the nerve cells receive benefit.

Unfortunately, a deficiency in B vitamins can cause muscle weakness and edema. Although a number of people live with a vitamin deficiency, the worst are folic acids, which are needed to help improve mood while fighting neural tube defects in unborn children, which is why vitamin B complex is so important for pregnant women. In addition, deficiency in vitamins B6 or B12 results in depressed mood and fatigue.

Keep in mind that with B vitamins, they are not stored well in the body. Then, if you consume caffeine or alcohol, these vitamins tend to become depleted quickly. However, there are other important benefits found in B vitamins such as healthy skin, strong, shiny hair, stronger muscle and bones, and healthy mucosal membranes, especially those found around the mouth. Vitamin B complex also improves intestinal health and bowel function, boosts mood, decreases irritability, helps with insomnia, promotes better sleep, improves liver and brain cell function, and can reduces PMS symptoms.<




Although vitamin B complex is found in foods we eat, most are lost during the cooking process. Therefore, if you want to get those most out of your vitamins, we recommend you take a supplement of 50 mg in B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B12, Choline, PABA, and Inositol. In addition, adding 400 mcg of folic acid would be highly beneficial to your overall health and wellness. Remember, your body needs the right type of vitamins so you can function optimally, as well as live a long life. By eating a well balanced diet rich in vitamins and supplements, you will feel better.

Some of the foods you can add to your diet for the B vitamins include leafy green vegetables, fish and seafood, whole grains, poultry and other meats, dairy products, eggs, citrus, specifically oranges, and beans and peas. Since B vitamins make red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout your body, these are crucial.

That bit of knowledge about vitamins, may be useful and helpful

Meditation for Health

Posted on 11:33 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , , ,

Meditation, is a way to calm down and mind. what you know about meditation and how meditation melakukkan? Let's look at articles on the following meditation.

Meditation Defined
Meditational exercises primarily use the experience of the body and thought as a means to reconnect with the environment and its healing power. Meditation, when practiced frequently, has been proven to promote inner peace and wellness. Meditation is also a mental practice in which the mind is directed to one area, often the breath. It draws its energy from the human connection to nature and creates a sense of unity or one-ness with it.

This unity has been shown to increase communication with the spirit of the body. It has also been known to allow positive thoughts in and to stimulate positive physiological and psychological effects. Meditation techniques are easy to learn and can easily be incorporated into any lifestyle. If practiced regularly, meditation will bring balance to your body and mind.

General benefits of meditation and breathing exercises include:

• Deep inner peace
• Improved self-esteem
• Increased creativity
• Physical health/healing
• Reduced medical care
• Slowing/reversal of aging
• Reversing of heart disease
• Stimulation of the body's immune system
• Reduced stress

I have found there is really no one right ways to meditate. Here are a couple of my favorite meditational exercises that will get you started. Remember, there is no wrong path here. Try these, or simply sit in silence for 20 minutes, daily. You'll be glad you did.

Meditative Grounding Exercise

• Sit with your legs crossed in a comfortable (Indian-style) position with your hands relaxed on you lap. Close your eyes and imagine a beam of light dropping from the base of your spine through the earth and connecting you to its center.

• Allow this beam of light to expand in width until it is wider than your own body and envelopes it. This is your personal space.

This exercise places you totally in your body and reminds you that you are anchored to the earth. Remember, the more grounded you are, the more aware you are. Sense the presence of your higher self: listen to its voice.<


Energy Cleaning Exercise

Now that you are grounded, it's important that you cleanse this personal space. Often we collect other people's energies and are not aware of it. We do this both through interaction with others and basic activities of daily living.

• To remove all foreign energies from your space, imagine holding a brush and sweeping away the debris.

• Allow the debris to fall to the ground and become washed away. Let the light from the previous exercise envelop your body and spread its healing energy to the edge of your space, forming a protective force field around you.

Cleaning out the area surrounding your body will keep you grounded, define your personal boundaries and declare your space. Then choose who and what you wish to enter you space, keeping disease and illness out.

Breathing Exercise

• Follow your breath as you slowly inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Count with each exhale until you reach 10 then begin again at one.

• If you find yourself past 10, acknowledge this and begin again at one from wherever you are.

• Imagine your body's cells being replaced with fresh, pure oxygen and positive healing energy from this power source. Picture yourself exhaling old cells, stress, illness and worries.

• Let your thoughts pass through your mind like drifting clouds. Let them in and gently let them pass through. If the mind should harbor a negative thought, refocus on the breath.

• Thank any persistent negative thoughts for coming into your mind then gently let them go.

• Listen only for the positive, pronounced voice; the voice of your body.

Retrieve Your Energy Exercise

Since foreign energy often resides in your space, let's also assume that you leave energy in other places. After completing the preceding exercises it is necessary to re-energize and call energy back.

• Imagine you have an energy magnet used to attract your energy back to you. Visualize energy flowing back to you, filling your body with light, health and empowerment.

• Allow a few minutes for the process.

Journal Questions:

1. Record in your journal any problem or trouble you may be having – emotional, physical or otherwise. Let problems go and give them over to your meditation.

2. Do you notice solutions coming to you throughout the day? Do you notice with regular meditation that your body and mind are becoming calmer and clearer?

Ideas To Consider:

1. Make time for your spirit daily. Exhibit behaviors and self talk that show your reverence for yourself.

Treatment for Malignant Mesothelioma

Posted on 11:25 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In ,

According to you what to dilakukkan when you know you are suffering from malignant mesothelioma? yes, the best answer is to do the treatment. let us discuss how to do your treatment for malignant mesothelioma

After the tumor is found and staged, your cancer care team will discuss your treatment options with you. The main factors in selecting a treatment for mesotheliomas are the size and location of the tumor, whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other organs, and your health and your personal preferences.

Because mesothelioma is a rare cancer, it has been hard for doctors to compare the value of different treatments. Only a few large clinical trials of treatments for mesothelioma have been reported to date. In addition, many doctors have little or no experience treating this disease. They usually refer patients with this cancer to specialists who treat a large number of mesothelioma patients at major medical centers.

Another problem with treating mesothelioma is that it typically does not grow as a single tumor mass. It tends to spread along nearby surfaces, nerves, and blood vessels. Because of this it can be extremely difficult, except in rare situations, to completely get rid of it with surgery and/or radiation.

In many cases the treatment of mesothelioma may result in only modest benefit. Before deciding on a treatment option, it's very important to have an idea of its likely benefits and possible risks. You will probably have many questions about the treatment options suggested. Mesotheliomas are rare, so if time permits it is often a good idea to seek an opinion from a doctor who has a lot of experience in treating people with these cancers. A second opinion can provide more information and help you feel more confident about the treatment plan that you choose.

False Identity Depression

Posted on 9:41 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

The following article will discuss about a person's mental condition called "Depression". what you know challenged Depression? let us refer to the following article

Who is more prone to become affected by or suffer from psychological problems? the answer nearly everyone. Depression in the United States alone has left its mark on at least 17 million adults who have experienced a bout of clinical depression at some stage. Suffering from this disorder can interrupt any plans a person may have on leading a normal life. (Depending how serious the symptoms for each patient) depression affects us all in different ways some cases more severe than others.

Serious depression needs nurturing and this can be done with medical help
What to expect if depression takes hold, well it can cause unbearable pain emotionally also expect your life to turn upside down if the depression escalates out of control. You are not on your own if you have been diagnosed with depression people around you feel your pain also therefore affected too.

Similar is bipolar disorder which is another form of depression. Bipolar was once named manic-depressive disorder, mood swings that came with bipolar differed in many ways, one being is the manic highs which were noted as a high risk factor for self inflicted harm to the patient.

Without doubt a patients thoughts and feelings change dramatically if in possession of this psychological condition. Depression has often been mistaken with the feeling of sadness or lethargic bouts; these common symptoms do not necessarily mean this is depression they relate more to every day stress.




Stress normally withers away after a few days but if you find you are still saddened and the fatigue factor still strong and there is no sign of these symptoms easing up then seek medical help as it could be the start of depression
Unfortunately in some cases depression goes unnoticed and because of this approx two thirds of depressed patients are not receiving the right medication or treatment. Sadly this is an unfortunate predicament because with the right medical treatment approx 80% of depression sufferers will have found light at the end of the tunnel.

Depression has been known to take lives; patients struggle to adjust to their new found way of life living with a burden that some believe are with them till eternity, a similar feeling to having a Siamese twin attached till death do us part. Well now we have modern medicines in a modern world that can help you in your separation from depression which has driven you to take on a false identity where the laughing on the outside is overpowered by all the crying within.

Just like the Siamese twins medics have now proven that with the right medical treatment they can UN-attach the attached.

Talk to someone if you have reason for concern on your health or that of someone close and let those with the knowledge on depression help you in your quest to lead a normal life once again.

Benign tumors of the mesothelium

Posted on 11:59 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

After discussing about malignant mesothelioma now let us learn about the benign mesothelioma.

It is important not to confuse malignant mesothelioma with benign tumors that also start in the mesothelium.
Adenomatoid tumor

This benign tumor can develop in the mesothelium of certain female and male reproductive organs. In men, it often starts in the epididymis (a small collection of ducts that carry sperm cells out of the testicle). In women, this tumor may begin in the fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus or womb).
Benign cystic mesothelioma

This is another non-cancerous tumor that may begin in mesothelium near female reproductive organs.
Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura

This type of benign tumor can form in the pleura surrounding the lungs. It used to be called benign fibrous mesothelioma, but doctors now know that this tumor actually starts from tissue under the mesothelium and not from mesothelial cells. This disease is usually benign, but about 1 in 10 are cancerous. A similar disease starting in the peritoneum is called solitary fibrous tumor of the peritoneum.

These benign tumors are typically removed by surgery, and there is usually no need for additional treatment.

Malignant Mesothelioma

Posted on 10:49 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Mesothelioma has 2 types and 2 properties. malignant mesothelioma and benign mesothelioma. Let's learn about malignant mesothelioma before and after that we just point to the benign.
 
A cancerous tumor of the mesothelium is called a malignant mesothelioma, although this is often simply shortened to just mesothelioma. Mesotheliomas can start in 4 main areas in the body.

    * Pleural mesotheliomas start in the chest cavity. They account for about 3 out of 4 mesotheliomas.
    * Peritoneal mesotheliomas begin in the abdomen. They make most of the remaining cases.
    * Pericardial mesotheliomas start in the cavity around the heart and are very rare.
    * Mesotheliomas of the tunica vaginalis are very rare tumors that start in the covering layer of the testicles, which is actually an outpouching of peritoneum into the scrotum.

Malignant mesotheliomas can also be classified into 4 types based on how the cells are arranged when looked at under a microscope:

    * Epithelioid: About 50% to 60% of mesotheliomas are of this type. It tends to have a better outlook (prognosis) than the other types.
    * Sarcomatoid (fibrous): About 10% to 20% of mesotheliomas are of this type.
    * Mixed (biphasic): These mesotheliomas have both epithelioid and sarcomatoid areas. They make up about 30% to 40% of mesotheliomas.
    * Desmoplastic: These are rare.

Mesothelioma

Posted on 6:06 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,


What do you know about meshotelioma? in this article we will discuss about what is mesothelioma.

What is malignant mesothelioma?

Malignant mesothelioma is a cancer that starts in cells in the linings of certain parts of the body, especially the chest or abdomen.

A layer of specialized cells called mesothelial cells lines the inside of the chest, the abdomen, and the space around your heart. These cells also cover the outer surface of most of your internal organs. The lining formed by these cells is called mesothelium.

The mesothelium helps protect your organs by making a special lubricating fluid that allows organs to move around. For example, this fluid makes it easier for the lungs to move inside the chest during breathing. The mesothelium has different names in different parts of the body:

    * In the chest it is called the pleura.
    * In the abdomen it is called the peritoneum.
    * In the space around the heart it is called the pericardium.

Tumors of the mesothelium can be non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant).

About Diarrhea disease

Posted on 9:28 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Disease does cause many negative effects to the body and also mentally. one of them is a diarrhea disease, diarrhea has the effect, among others, makes the body limp, less powerful and also does not fit. Let's find out about diarrhea and conditions contained.
Listen
Read phonetically

What is diarrhea?

Diarrhoea is the passing of increased amounts (more than 300g in 24 hours) of loose stools.

It is often caused by a virus or bacteria and can be acute (short term) or chronic (long term) - lasting more than two to three weeks.

Most people are affected by diarrhea at some time in their lives. It is often accompanied by stomach pains, feeling sick and vomiting. It is usually due to consumption of drinking water contaminated with bacteria, undercooked meat and eggs or inadequate kitchen hygiene - in other words, an infection.
NetDoctor/Geir
Diarrhea normally only lasts for a few days, but it can be very stressful when it occurs.

Globally, seven children die of diarrhea every minute, mainly due to poor quality drinking water and malnutrition, which still affects the majority of the world population.
What causes diarrhea?

    * Diarrhea is mainly caused by bacterial and viral infections and food poisoning.
    * Diarrhea can also be caused by bacteria or viruses that have been transmitted from person to person. For this reason, it is important to wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet.
    * You cannot assess the quality of food or detect contamination by its smell or the way it looks. Food which is 'off' might be obvious but contaminated food usually looks and tastes fine.

Diarrhea occurs when the micro-organisms irritate the mucous membrane of the small or large intestine resulting in an abnormally large quantity of water in the motions. The irritated gut becomes very active, contracting excessively and irregularly (colic). This can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats. In some cases the motions may include some blood.
Food poisoning

Certain bacteria (usually staphylococci) irritate the digestive tract by producing toxins. These toxins affect the mucous membrane much sooner, a few hours after consumption, compared with bacterial infection. For this reason, people with inflammation or sores on their hands should not prepare food for others.
Other causes

When taking antibiotics, many people suffer diarrhea, which may continue after the antibiotic course has finished. The diarrhea occurs because the antibiotic alters the intestinal bacterial environment. It is not an allergic reaction. In rare cases it requires medical treatment.
Chronic diarrhea

Chronic diarrhea can be a symptom of many disorders:

    * irritable bowel syndrome
    * acute, recurrent or chronic intestinal infections
    * chronic intestinal inflammation (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease)
    * chronic pancreatitis, which produces fatty stools
    * laxatives
    * lactose intolerance
    * improper diet (consumption of too much alcohol, coffee or sweets)
    * metabolic disorders such as diabetes and thyrotoxicosis
    * intolerance to gluten (wheat protein).

What are the symptoms of diarrhea?

    * Frequent, watery motions.
    * Loss of appetite.
    * Nausea, vomiting.
    * Stomach pains.
    * Fever.
    * Dehydration.

If the diarrhea lasts more than three weeks, it is considered chronic.
What are the warning signs?

    * Blood in the motions.
    * Pus in the motions (yellow mucus).
    * Inability to drink liquids because of vomiting.
    * Dehydration - symptoms include excreting small amounts of dark urine, drowsiness, dry mucous membranes and thirst. Dehydration as a result of diarrhea is a particular risk for young children and the elderly.
    * Pronounced drowsiness due to dehydration or intoxication.
    * Acute diarrhea in infants.
    * Acute diarrhea in very old people.

What can be done at home?

    * In cases of acute diarrhea it would be wise to drink more fluids (3-4 litres a day), preferably containing sugar and salts. Ready-mixed rehydration sachets (eg Dioralyte, Rehidrat) can be bought from the pharmacist and added to drinking water.
    * A sufficient intake has been obtained when the urine becomes light yellow in colour.
    * Eat something containing salt, such as crisps or soup.
    * Maintain good standards of hygiene.
    * Eat normally as soon as your appetite returns but if you have suffered an acute attack of diarrhea, avoid foods containing milk for a couple of days.

When should the doctor be consulted?

    * When one of the warning signs outlined above is present.
    * When the diarrhea has occurred during or following a trip abroad - travellers' diarrhea.
    * When the diarrhea has lasted more than one to two weeks.

How is diarrhea treated?

Diarrhea can usually be treated safely 'at home' and normally goes away by itself within a week. Treatment with antibiotics is therefore rarely needed, and may cause side effects, such as chronic diarrhea.

Antidiarrheal agents, such as loperamide (eg Imodium), may be used, except in cases where there is blood or pus in the motions or if the diarrhea is accompanied by high fever.

It has not been proven that freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria can prevent travellers' diarrhea.

During visits abroad, boil all drinking water, or drink water from sealed bottles only. In addition, you should only eat vegetables that have been boiled or peeled and avoid ice-cream and salads (which may have been washed with unclean water).

Acne-Prone Skin Care

Posted on 3:11 AM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

Puberty is a period where many of the hormones in the body grow. this has positive and negative effects, one negative effect is acne. so many teenagers who have acne and when it was healing acne breakouts eat it very difficult, in this article let us learn about our care of acne.

Acne is not confined to teenagers and puberty, it also prevalent in adults and in women mostly during pregnancy. Acne is often characterized by pimples and breakouts all over the skin in large numbers, frequently seen on the face and the back. It is caused due to the over activity of the sebaceous glands or the oil producing glands. When it combines with dead skin cells, hormones and bacteria, the oily substances are trapped inside the pores and causes swelling. The lumps often have a crown of a white head or a black head or even red lumps, which are very tender. Acne, if not treated on time, can even lead to scarring. Some acne go so deep inside the skin that they form into nodules and cysts, which leaves scars which may not disappear even after healing. Acne can be caused due to stress, fatigue, and cosmetics and even due to humidity, although nothing has been proved till date.

Do's and Don'ts on the acne prone skin:

Professional treatment is the best for acne, the earlier the treatment provided, the better. A good doctor will be in a position to treat acne-using medications by controlling the over-active sebaceous glands, hormonal imbalance, or even stress.

It is good not to squeeze or break the pimples and acne, as it will lead to spread the infection and can make the area swell and might even lead to permanent scarring.




Usage of oily cosmetics are also not recommended, as the acne prone skin already is oily enough, usage of such cosmetics will add up to it. Instead of using oily cosmetics, it is better to go for water based ones, which might be less harsh. It is always good to remove make up at night, if left on the whole night might cause irritation to the skin.

The acne prone skin should be pampered with gentle wash and pat dry. Vigorous scrubbing needs to be avoided as it only worsens the condition and may even block the pores.

Regular shampooing is recommended as it may reduce the pimple appearing on the forehead, it is good to avoid hair products like gels and pomades, as they are oily.

Cosmetics which are non comedogenic should be used. Acnes sometimes can make the skin hypersensitive, hence sunscreens can be used to avoid sunburns. It is good to avoid tanning, as it cannot make the skin clearer.

Over-the-counter products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can curb mild acne.

About Chinese Herbal

Posted on 5:53 PM | By Gonks ^_^ | In , ,

China is a big country with a population that much, besides known for big wall of china the country is also known to have a great herbal treatment. Chinese herbal concoction known around the world and acknowledged powerful tool for curing disease. This article adapted from chinese herbal

Description

Chinese herbal medicine is a major aspect of traditional Chinese medicine, which focuses on restoring a balance of energy, body, and spirit to maintain health rather than treating a particular disease or medical condition. Herbs are used with the goal of restoring balance by nourishing the body.
Overview

Because of the large number of Chinese herbs used and the different uses recommended by practitioners, it is difficult to comment on Chinese herbal medicine as a whole. There may be some individual herbs or extracts that play a role in the prevention and treatment of cancer and other diseases when combined with conventional treatment. However, more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of these individual substances.
How is it promoted for use?

Chinese herbal medicine is not based on conventional Western concepts of medical diagnosis and treatment. It treats patients’ main complaints or the patterns of their symptoms rather than the underlying causes. Practitioners attempt to prevent and treat imbalances, such as those caused by cancer and other diseases, with complex combinations of herbs, minerals, and plant extracts.

Chinese herbal medicine uses a variety of herbs in different combinations to restore balance to the body, such as astragalus, ginkgo, ginseng, green tea, and eleuthero (also known as "Siberian ginseng"). Herbal preparations are said to prevent and treat hormone disturbances, infections, breathing disorders, and a vast number of other ailments and diseases. Some practitioners claim herbs have the power to prevent and treat a variety of types of cancer.

Most Chinese herbalists do not claim to cure cancer. They use herbal medicine with conventional treatments prescribed by oncologists, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. They claim that herbal remedies can help ease the side effects of conventional cancer therapies, control pain, improve quality of life, strengthen the immune system, and in some cases, stop tumor growth and spread.

One aspect of Chinese herbal medicine aims to restore or strengthen immunity and resistance to disease. Treatments undertaken with this goal are called Fu Zheng or Fu Zhen and are given as complementary therapy intended to reduce the side effects from conventional Western anticancer treatments.
What does it involve?

In China, more than 3,200 herbs and 300 mineral and animal extracts are used in more than 400 different formulas. Herbal formulations may consist of 4 to 12 different ingredients, to be taken in the form of teas, powders, pills, tinctures, or syrups.

Chinese herbal remedies are usually made up of a number of herbs and mineral and animal extracts. Typically, 1 or 2 herbs are included that are said to have the greatest effect on the problem being treated. Other ingredients in the formula treat minor aspects of the problem, direct the formula to specific parts of the body, and help the other herbs work more efficiently.

With the increase in popularity of herbal medicine, many Chinese herbs are now sold individually and in formulas. In the United States, Chinese herbs and herbal formulas may be purchased in health food stores, some pharmacies, and from herbal medicine practitioners.

Before choosing a mixture of herbs for a patient, the traditional Chinese practitioner will typically ask about symptoms and examine the patient, often focusing on the skin, hair, tongue, eyes, pulse, and voice, in order to detect imbalances in the body.
What is the history behind it?

Native cultures all over the world have traditionally used herbs to maintain health and treat illnesses. Chinese herbal medicine developed as part of Chinese culture from tribal roots. By 200 BC, traditional Chinese medicine was firmly established, and by the first century AD, a listing of medicinal herbs and herbal formulations and their uses had been developed.

The classic Chinese book on medicinal herbs was written during the Ming Dynasty (1152-1578) by Li Shi-Zhen. It listed nearly 2,000 herbs and extracts. By 1990, the latest edition of The Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China listed more than 500 single herbs or extracts and nearly 300 complex formulations.

As Western conventional medicine spread to the East, some traditional Chinese medical practices began to be regarded as folklore. However, since 1949, the Chinese government has supported the use of both traditional and Western medicine. Chinese herbal medicine first came to widespread attention in the United States in the 1970s, when President Richard Nixon visited China. Today, at least 30 states license practitioners of Oriental medicine and more than 25 colleges of Oriental medicine exist in the United States.
What is the evidence?

Some herbs and herbal formulations have been evaluated in animal, laboratory, and human studies in both the East and the West with wide-ranging results. Research results vary widely depending on the specific herb, but several have shown activity against cancer cells in laboratory dishes and in some animals.

There is some evidence from randomized clinical trials that some Chinese herbs may contribute to longer survival rates, reduction of side effects, and lower risk of recurrence for some types of cancer, especially when combined with conventional treatment. Many of these studies, however, are published in Chinese, and some of them do not list the specific herbs that were tested. Some of these journal articles do not describe how the studies were conducted completely enough to determine whether they use methods comparable to those used in Western clinical research. However, there are some notable exceptions, such as PC-SPES, a mixture including several Chinese herbs that has been studied in considerable detail in U.S. clinical trials (see the document PC-SPES). More controlled research is needed to determine the role of Chinese herbal medicine in cancer treatment and prevention.
Are there any possible problems or complications?

These substances may not have been thoroughly tested to find out how they interact with medicines, foods, herbs, or supplements. Even though some reports of interactions and harmful effects may be published, full studies of interactions and effects are not often available. Because of these limitations, any information on ill effects and interactions below should be considered incomplete.

Because of the variety of herbs used in Chinese herbal medicine, there is a potential for negative interactions with prescribed drugs. Some herbal preparations contain other ingredients which are not always identified. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a statement warning diabetics to avoid several specific brands of Chinese herbal products because they illegally contain the prescription diabetes drugs glyburide and phenformin. FDA warnings have been issued for PC-SPES, and production of that product was stopped because it contained the prescription drugs indomethacin, diethylstilbestrol, and warfarin.

Similar concerns have been raised about Chinese herbal products for other diseases, which have been found to contain toxic contaminants and prescription drugs such as diazepam (Valium). Tests of Chinese herbal remedies by the California Department of Health found that nearly one third contained prescription drugs or were contaminated with toxic metals such as mercury, arsenic, and lead. Concerns about Chinese herbal products have been raised in other countries as well. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare reported that some Chinese herbal products contained contaminants that caused severe and sometimes fatal liver and thyroid problems.

Of the more than 5,000 medicinal plant species in China, a small number are potentially toxic to the human body. Toxic herbs may mistakenly be harvested and shipped for herbal medicines and can cause harmful reactions in those who take the medicines. In addition, the herbal formulas used are often complex and difficult for manufacturers and practitioners to formulate correctly. For example, in the case of an herbal product intended to promote weight loss, manufacturers confused 2 Chinese herbs with similar names and mistakenly used the wrong one, which resulted in severe kidney damage that was fatal in some cases.

Any herb can cause allergic reactions in a few people. Those who are allergic to certain plants, including some plant-based foods, may be more likely to react to herbs.

Although the long history of traditional Chinese herbal medicine is sometimes interpreted as evidence of safety, it is important to note that many of these herbs are no longer produced and used as they were in the past. An herb may have been used safely under the supervision of a traditional practitioner. However, if the same herbs are used in higher doses or in doses of different concentrations, perhaps over a longer period and without medical guidance, the risks involved in taking those herbs change. In addition, toxic substances or prescription drugs can be introduced during the manufacturing process, either intentionally or inadvertently.

Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine licensed by a state board can provide advice on the safest sources for herbs. Because some herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine may cause dangerous interactions with conventional medications, patients should talk with their doctors and pharmacists before using any of the herbs. Relying on this type of treatment alone and avoiding or delaying conventional medical care for cancer may have serious health consequences.

in the following article let's talk about post-menopausal osteoporosis. This is an info from china, can be Also in chinese herb

Two recent studies in China revealed that Chinese herbs for Bones - traditionally used as a kidney tonic - may in fact offer a therapeutic aid to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.

The first trial, conducted at the Union hospital, Tongji Medical University in Wuhan, China. 34 patients participated in a double blind, controlled study. Seventeen post-menopausal women were given a Chinese herbal formula for bones and a further seventeen post-menopausal women were given calcium treatment and used as a control group. After three months, the results showed that 92% of the patients in the Chinese herb group had improved. Six months after the treatment the bone density of the lumbar vertebrae of 69% of the patients was significantly higher than before the treatment and the bone density of the control group was considerably lowe

The researchers concluded that Chinese herbs for bones could prevent and improve post-menopausal osteoporosis by improving bone formation and retarding the decline of bone density.

Similar results were found in a follow-up controlled study at the Tongji Medical University, Wuhan, China where 43 patients with menopause within a period of 5 years were randomly divided into two groups; one group to receive the Chinese herbal formulas for bones and the other used as a control group. The participants’ bone metabolism, serum estradiol and forearm bone density were taken before and after treatment. The results showed that five months after the treatment, the women in the treatment group showed improved bone mineral content whereas those women in the control group showed decreased mineral densities. Furthermore, the ratio of fasting urinary calcium and hydroxyproline to creatinine was lower than before the treatment and significantly lower than that of the control group. The researchers concluded that the study results indicate that the Chinese herbs was linked to a declining of bone mineral loss in post-menopausal women.
