BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

clipped from mail.google.com
BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Dry and tormenting cough is in most cases the first portent of the coming bout of bronchial asthma. Attacks of asphyxia begin all of a sudden and rapidly aggravate; they last from several minutes to several hours or even days (in complicated cases).
Bronchial asthma is an allergic disease, which appears as recurrent bouts of asphyxia.

Prevent Heart Disease

Prevent Heart
Disease

 by: Mike
Spencer

You should always keep in mind that whatever actions you do today can either
help to prevent, delay or minimize the effect of heart disease or worsen it. The
key is to control risk factors. Granted that you cannot control every risk
factor for heart disease such as family history but you can definitely do
something about your behavior. Age and gender also influence your risk of heart
disease.

Do you want to be thinner, healthy and fit?

Do you want to be thinner, healthy
and fit?

 by: Lucy E.
Riddell

While we offer an effective and natural fat loss product – the Jen Fe Next
Fat Loss Patch and the Power Patch, we also know that without a commitment from
you to bring about some lifestyle changes, you won’t reach optimal fat loss.
There is no product in the world that can produce fat loss while we are eating
and drinking excessively, and moving only slowly from couch to car to office
chair. We need a program of sensible diet and exercise that will support the
products we utilize to help our weight loss.

Here’s what to eat:

Magnets Can Strengthen Your Mind

Magnets Can Strengthen Your Mind

Tests in mice have shown that stimulating the brain with a magnetic coil appears to promote the growth of new neurons in areas associated with learning and memory.

If there is a similar effect in humans, it could lead to new ways of treating age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) refers to the use of a magnetic coil to induce electric fields in the brain tissue, which activates or deactivates groups of neurons.

It's thought that this process, called long-term potentiation (LTP), may help to strengthen brain circuits, thereby aiding learning and memory. It has previously been used experimentally to treat a range of brain disorders, including depression and schizophrenia, and to rehabilitate people after a stroke.

In the latest experiment, mice were given TMS for five days, after which their brains were analyzed for evidence of cell proliferation. Proliferation was enhanced in all areas of the brain tested, and there were large increases in the proliferation of stem cells in the dentate gyrus hippocampus. These cells are believed to play a crucial role in memory and mood regulation.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

Magnet therapy is very exciting, and I have been intrigued with it for some time. While it rarely treats the cause of the problem, it certainly is far less dangerous than using drugs and, used wisely, is typically without side effects.

This is one type of therapy I would encourage you to consider and be sensitive to what future studies show that further document its efficacy and indications.

But beware because FDA regulations render it illegal to market any magnet therapy product that claims to treat any "significant" condition such as cancer, HIV, AIDS, asthma, arthritis, or rheumatism. So you will have to add the pieces together yourself because anyone who seeks to sell them to you will be clamped down by the FDA, as we all know that the primary purpose of the FDA is to "protect you."

Nevertheless, I've previously written about magnets to help with depression and even recently to avoid shark attacks, but now researchers have uncovered another potential: warding off Alzheimer's disease and age-related mental decline.

As the population continues to age, the number of people with Alzheimer's disease is expected to increase some 70 percent.

We are in the midst of an Alzheimer's epidemic. About 4.5 million people are affected today, and it is estimated that this number will increase to 7.7 million by 2030. Experts are calling this great increase in Alzheimer's cases a "looming public health disaster" that could potentially turn into an unmanageable health care crisis. So any potential cure deserves attention.

However, while this type of magnet therapy sounds promising, the best option when it comes to Alzheimer's and mental decline is to avoid it entirely. Mental decline is NOT a normal part of aging, and you can help protect your brain and mind by:

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Signs are what a doctor sees,
symptoms are what you experience.
 
 
Did you know that 90 - 95% of a doctor's diagnosis will
come from what you say? Yep! If you do not give the
doctor all of your symptoms and history then you are
asking him or her to diagnose you based on
 insufficient information. Whenever you go to the
doctor, he or she will take a patient history using
 a mneumonic called, "OPPQRST." Every doctor
 on the planet follows this mneumonic. This
 translates into: Objective, Palliative, Provocative,
Quality, Radiating, Subjective and Timing.
  • ONSET: When did it start?
  • PALLIATIVE: What relieves your symptoms?
  • PROVOCATIVE: What provokes your symptoms?
  • QUALITY: How would you describe the symptoms?
  •  Sharp? stabbing?, sore? uncomfortable? nausea
  •  achy? throbbing? ripping? tearing?
  • RADIATING: Do the symptoms or pain radiate to another area of your body?
  • SEVERITY: On a scale of 1 - 10, how would you rate your pain or discomfort?
  • TIMING: How often do the symptoms occur?
Typically with chest pain, the additional LMN are added to the mneumonic which means: Last, Movement and Notable Symptoms.
  • LAST: When was the last episode?
  • MOVEMENT: What activities could you do before you first felt chest pain and what activities can you do now?
  • NOTABLE SYMPTOMS: What other symptoms do you have with your chest pain?
 
 
Here are just a few things that will automatically pop into a doctor's head when you give the following symptoms. The doctor will then perform various orthopedic, laboratory or imaging tests on you to confirm or deny his or her suspicions:
Please keep in mind there are many other conditions, diseases, syndromes and illnesses that your doctor may be thinking depending on what you stated in your patient history.
