Chronic sciatica is a torturous and difficult to resolve back and leg pain syndrome. Sciatica is not a diagnosis, but a symptom of an underlying causative condition. True sciatica is sourced by a spinal abnormality, while pseudo-sciatica can come about due to muscular, circulatory or even psychosomatic reasons. No matter what the actual cause of sciatica, chronic symptoms can make life very difficult for affected patients.
Chronic means long lasting or recurring. For sciatica sufferers, there are a great number of different chronic patterns associated with their symptomatic expressions. Some patients endure the same pain everyday, while others endure a variable symptomology which can change hour to hour in some cases. Many patients endure constant back and leg pain, while others suffer only at certain times of the day, or with certain activities or positions. Some patients have a little or a lot of pain everyday, while others will have good days without pain and bad days with hellish symptoms. Finally, recurrent bouts of acute sciatica or "flare ups", as they are often called, can be one of the most agonizing clinical profiles possible and can create a tremendous amount of anxiety in every sciatic nerve pain sufferer.
Statistically, the most common diagnostic conclusion used to explain sciatic nerve symptoms is a herniated lumbar disc, typically at L4/L5 or L5/S1. These are the levels which suffer the greatest and most universal degeneration in the human spine, so it is easy to see why herniations at these locations are common diagnostic scapegoats. However, in order for these bulging discs to enact symptoms, they would have to affect surrounding neurological tissues through the processes of spinal stenosis or foraminal stenosis. This is because the spinal discs themselves do not feel pain, as they do not have blood supply or nerve endings.
Foraminal stenosis is the usual diagnosis for herniated discs theorized to cause sciatica. These "pinched nerves", as they are often called, go on to form the sciatic nerve, so it is thought that compression of one or more nerve roots can enact sciatica pain. Clinical research has decisively shown that actual compressed nerves stop signaling altogether, causing a condition of true objective numbness and weakness in the regions served by the affected nerve structure. There would be no lasting pain or tingling, as well as no subjective numbness and weakness common to the vast majority of sciatica complaints. This makes the pinched nerve theory lose tremendous credibility as a true source of sciatica. Additionally, in order for a herniated disc to actually have any effect on the nerve at all, the bulge would have to virtually completely close off the neuroforaminal space, which is a very rare scenario indeed.
Spinal stenosis as a source of sciatica is more complicated, since stenosis anywhere in the spine can create a variable pain pattern, along with the typical neurological symptoms in the legs. Stenosis in the lower back can create sciatica, as can stenosis far up in the cervical spine. This makes diagnosis very difficult, when the causation is indeed structural. Add to this fact that most stenosis is not symptomatic in anyway, even though anatomical alteration is evident upon diagnostic imaging, and you really have a hard time differentiating between potentially troublesome stenosis and innocent spinal canal narrowing. Many herniated discs, for example, may impinge on the thecal sac surrounding the spinal cord, but do not have any effect on the cord itself. Even herniations which do press into the cord typically may displace the cord (creating a frightening image on MRI films), but usually do not cause any pain or sciatica. However, in some cases, spinal stenosis can be problematic and truly enact lower back, buttocks and leg pain syndromes.
Despite all this doom and gloom, there is some good news about sciatica. Structural causations which are accurately diagnosed and truly do create symptoms most commonly respond very well to indicated medical and complementary treatment. This means that most true anatomical issues responsible for enacting pain can be completely cured. For patients with long term symptoms which have proven themselves to be unresponsive to various forms of treatment, the answer is simple. In these cases, the condition is virtually always misdiagnosed, leading the sufferer on a wild goose chase using treatments which are all targeting mistakenly identified causes of pain. No wonder the treatments fail...
Knowing the Signs of Menopause by Naomi Smith
For every woman reaching the age of 40 onwards, it is normal to experience the early signs of menopause. During this stage their levels of progesterone and estrogen changes.
In relation to this, they would normally feel the symptoms that come along with this process. The physiological changes may vary from every woman but the same principle applies to all, the changes will not only affect them personally but most specially their emotional aspect. Most of these women would feel inadequate, hurt and insecure because of the various changes that they would normally feel. It is therefore important for the people around them to make them feel that they are still wanted, understood, and most importantly, accepted.
The natural process of menopause will usually result in "the big change" in every woman's life. It oftentimes occurs during the late 40's or early 50's. If there's anything that occurs earlier than the age bracket, it is considered to be an early menopause scenario.
Some of the most common early signs of menopause are mood swings, changes in monthly cycle, headaches, hot flashes, chronic fatigue, depression, cramps and other types of aches, changes in body hair, yeast infections, increase in PMS, changes in sleep pattern, water retention, less vaginal lubrication, night sweats, loss of interest in love and fluctuations in blood sugar.
Women suffering these signs should be understood and given the most love, every family member and friends could provide as during this stage. Once their monthly cycle changes, the imbalance of hormones in their bodies will cause the monthly cycles in getting delayed or in some cases, even earlier. This can be avoided with proper diet and nutrition.
Changes in PMS and those who experience cramps don't need to be in the menopausal stage in order to experience that. The change is much more apparent and effects to the women experiencing it will be more difficult to deal with. Mood swings and depression are also common to all women even before they reach the menopausal stage. But since the hormonal changes with women who are in this stage, the effects are much more obvious. Women in this stage will tend to have more mood swings and much more often depressed.
Once you've noticed your mom, your aunt or any woman you know having those early signs of menopause, be sure to let them feel that they are loved and wanted because during this stage they may need reassurance.

Acne Treatments at Home by Jen Brister
Much of getting rid of acne has to do with prevention. A daily skin care routine is required to make sure that your skin stays healthy and acne does not have a chance to form.
You should wash the face each and every morning and night. Make sure that you use skin care soap and remove all makeup before going to bed. Sleeping on clean sheets and pillow cases can also go a long way in keeping your skin clean and clear.
A mild, oil-free soap should be used to clean your face and neck. This should remove all makeup, dirt, grease and excess oil from the skin. You might even want to use a make up remover cream to remove all makeup before washing your face.
Another helpful preventative measure is to clean your makeup brushes and to change them out periodically. All makeup should also be checked to make sure that it is not past its expiration date.
If you already have acne, you may be looking for some acne treatments at home, so that you can avoid a costly visit to the dermatologist. If you do have acne, do not touch or squeeze the pimples. This can cause the pimples to spread and leave a scar.
There are many over the counter acne medications that you can use, but those can be costly and sometimes take weeks to show a positive result. Once they do begin to work, they sometimes only work for a time and then the acne reappears. This is one reason why home acne treatments are becoming so popular today.

Could It Really Be Ovarian Cancer? by Juliet Taylor
Once called a silent killer of women, ovarian cancer was considered to be symptom free up to the point that the cancerous growths had reach critical mass and most likely already spread to other organs. Diagnosis would then be made because of symptoms the other organ manifests, in turn leading doctors to the source of the problem, often times too late for many sufferers to undergo successful treatment.
Nevertheless, in recent years experts and researchers have determined that when comparing case studies of various patients presenting with ovarian cancer, across the board there appeared to be a general agreement about similar feelings of discomfort that took place well before the diagnosis. This has caused the medical industry to rectify its opinion of ovarian cancer and it is no longer considered a symptom free illness, but instead one that has symptoms so subtle that unless the patient knows what to look for, they are likely missed or attributed to other problems.
1. There is frequent or recurring pain in the abdomen. Initially many respondents of the studies had suggested that it felt a bit like constipation, bloating, or gas pains, but because the pains lasted so much longer than the average bout of constipation, it soon became obvious that there was more going on than indigestion.
2. It could be ovarian cancer if you feel abdominal bloating. Sure, it might be the food you ate or the period that is just around the corner, but if it continues for more than a week, something might be amiss.
3. Frequent urination is another symptom but sadly is frequently missed since many a woman is religiously precise in drinking her water and frequent urination is considered par for the course.
So, Could it be irritable bowel syndrome? Could it be ovarian cancer? Could it be the onset of another disease or condition that imitates the same symptoms? The "what if" questions may continue non stop, yet unless a woman is willing to acknowledge the warning signs her body is giving off, precious little will answer her health related worries and questions. Too often she may think them to be too minor to mention to her doctor or - what makes this disease so dangerous - she will learn to live with them.
Although adaptability is a sought after trait in the theory of evolution, when it comes to detecting the early warning signs of ovarian cancer, it may be a contributing factor to death. Physicians involved in the studies have declared that any of the symptoms individually or in combination with one or both of the others should be grounds for concern and if the symptom persists for one week, heightened attention must be paid. If two weeks go by and the symptoms persist, a doctor's appointment must be scheduled for the first available time slot and if three weeks pass and the symptoms continue, it is time to set up an appointment with a specialist.
Could it be ovarian cancer? Maybe; either way, you owe it to yourself and those who love you to find out for sure.

Do You Use Fish Oil For Heart Protection? by Gordon P Hall
Fish oil for heart health is something we should all opt for. This Omega3 supplement helps to protect us from suffering from a heart attack. If we are ever unlucky enough to suffer a heart attack, then the Omega3 fatty acids should stop the attack from being so severe. The fact that this oil is a natural blood thinner helps, it helps to reduce our blood pressure.
We used to obtain all of the Omega3 fatty acids we needed from consuming several meals of fish per week. Now however the oceans and the fish are so full of pollution that we can no longer afford to eat so much fish each week. Now we need to take an Omega3 supplement on a daily basis to get all of the fatty acids we need.
Apart from fish oil for heart protection, this oil helps to maintain our brain, which is a big user of DHA fats. The DHA helps to uplift our spirits and keep us happy. However if the DHA levels ever get low, then we will suffer from emotional stress. This will take the form of mood swings and bouts of depression.
The same fish oil for heart protection will also help us to fight inflammation. I have a friend who suffers from Ross River Fever. He caught this whilst in Australia. This effects him the same way as rheumatoid arthritis sufferers suffer. He controls the pain by taking Omega3 supplements, in quite high doses though.
I would like to remind you though, do not buy an Omega3 supplement that has not been molecularly distilled to remove the impurities such as lead, mercury and the PCBs. The PCBs cause cancer, and they take hundreds of years to break down. This method is the only one that will remove those PCBs. The remaining oil will be pure.
How to Lower Cholesterol Naturally by Ann Page
Cholesterol is an essential component of our body, but too much cholesterol can be bad for your health and can put you at risk for heart disease. This article will help give you some ideas on how to lower cholesterol where it needs to be. Healthy eating can reduce cholesterol. Your recipes should be low in saturated fats in particular, and low in fat overall. There are several ways in which cholesterol may be reduced.
Adding fiber to your diet can help make your cholesterol down. The soluble kind of fiber, like that found in oat bran, is the type of fiber with the purpose of essentially washes away the bad cholesterol that clings to the inner walls of the arteries. Consuming an acceptable amount of water-soluble fiber every day may possibly reduce cholesterol levels by up to 20%.
Fish has constantly been considered exceptional for the heart. It is rich in proteins and in omega-3 fatty acids which are acknowledged to decrease triglycerides and lessen plaque growth in arteries.
Grapeseed Oil contains the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid and used to lower cholesterol. Clinical tests have revealed subjects experienced a lowering of LDL (the so called 'bad' cholesterol), and an increase in HDL (the 'good' cholesterol). Grapeseed oil appears to assist with skin repair, as it has mildly astringent and antiseptic qualities.
Beans can help lower your cholesterol. The cause these high-fiber legumes are so helpful is for the reason that they contain pectin. The more of these beans you can eat, the greater the profit. Some of these include: Lima beans, Kidney beans, Navy beans, Soybeans.
Eat more small meals through the day as a replacement for of two or three big meals. Eat breakfast each morning. Breakfast skippers be likely to have higher cholesterol levels than those who start off their mornings with a bellyful, according to studies. Research additionally shows that those who eat ready-to-eat cereal for breakfast have lower cholesterol levels than those choosing other morning entrees.

Fat Burn Supplements - Healthy or Not? by Dean Forster
There are so many different fat burn supplements on the market today that it's hard to tell what will work for you. The truth is that the safest, healthiest, and best way to get rid of that unwanted body fat is to exercise, eat right and just over-all take care of your body. You don't need to take any fat burning supplements to achieve the weight that you want. If you feel that losing weight the natural way is too slow for you and you'd like to try fat burn supplements then we will still go over what supplements are available.
Here is a brief list of some of the supplements that are available: thermogenic fat burners, carb blockers, fat blockers, stimulant-free fat burner, thyroid hormone increasers, cortisol products and appetite suppressants. We probably should explain what all of these supplements are and that should give you a better idea of what you can expect while taking each of them.
The thermogenic fat burners are without ephedra. People with heart conditions or other medical conditions should not take ephedra, so thermogenic fat burners might work with you. Ephedra can also cause you to feel jittery, almost like you're on caffeine high. Other fat burners actually do contain caffeine to increase you metabolism. It's known that fat burners without ephedra don't work quite as well as those with. The main point is to increase your metabolism and that will burn more calories each day, and even will happen while you're resting. Stimulant-free themogenics are also available. These are free of even caffeine. You might not lose as much right away, but they are safer alternatives.
Carb blockers do just that, block carbs. You can add carb blockers to any diet or exercise program. In my opinion, this is a very unnatural thing to put into your body. Some people who are working on losing weight use carb blockers with thermogenics. Fat blockers are much like carb blockers. Fat blocker's main ingredient is chitosan. It binds to fat in the digestive tract.
Many people are overweight because of thyroid problems. These people might want to use thyroid regulators. These regulators are actually replacements. You can now be in charge of your thyroid so that it performs at a higher level than it normally can on it's on. When you use thyroid regulators you must also have a proper diet along with regular exercises. Two very popular thyroid regulator ingredients are forskolin and guggulsterones.
Let's face it; we are always under some sort of stress in our lives. When we're under stress our bodies produce a hormone known as cortisol. Cortisol is that hormone that makes us want to pig out when we're under stress and it's also the hormone that holds onto all that fat in the chocolate covered sundae. You can take cortisol to help you lose weight when it is the form of a supplement. Is it really safe to take extra of a hormone that naturally causes to you gain weight as a supplement to lose weight? You be the judge of that.

How To Know The Symptoms Of Oral Yeast Infection by Mabel D. Rutherford
If you can positively identify the symptoms of oral yeast infection, you have the best chance to avoid suffering from long term oral yeast infection symptoms. Oral yeast infection, also known as Thrush, infects the tongue, the mouth as well as gums and inner cheeks.
How To Treat Oral Yeast Infection
Oral yeast infection can be treated quite easily compared to other yeast infections. However, you should not allow to develop the infection, because it can cause more serious conditions. Other parts of the body including kidneys and lungs might be affected, and you also risk to infect other unsuspecting people.
A person who has noticed that he or she suffers from oral yeast infection should at first understand which symptoms oral yeast infection shows and in which form you can expect it to appear. You have to understand first of all that fungus which causes yeast infection is normal and will not necessarily affect a healthy person. Fungus becomes dangerous only when a certain amount of bacteria is present in the body.
Candida fungus grows sometimes because of a certain hormonal balance and chemical changes in the body. This in turn leads to development of oral yeast infection symptoms. On the other hand the balance of good fungus can be upset by certain antibiotics. This can also be the case when the immune system is weakened.
The common oral yeast infection symptoms are white patches on the gums. You will also feel swelling as well as pain. You will also notice a certain discard that resembles cheese and smells like beer or fresh bread in your mouth cavity.
The cavity of your mouth can also develop layers of cheesy material. In this case it can take many weeks to treat those symptoms and you should start with the treatment immediately. If you don't treat these yeast infection symptoms in time, this might affect your esophagus and you're your stomach.
If you want to identify oral yeast infection symptoms at an early stage you have to understand the different risk factors. You should know, that also little babies can develop oral yeast infection. In fact babies and newborns and even senior citizens are very prone to developing oral candida. Seniors who use dentures are more likely to develop this condition.
If you fail treating oral candida in a timely manner or if you neglect getting proper treatment, this yeast infection can last for a long time. Still it is possible to put a permanent end to the symptoms. In order to reach that goal you will have to change your diet. You can find a lot information about proper diet if you look at diet plans for normal yeast infection.

Very Early Signs of Pregnancy - 10 Pregnancy Signs You Should Know by Lauren Collins-Taylor
Do you know what the very early signs of pregnancy are? Your body is a complex machine - finely tuned and is giving off signals all the time. Pregnancy is a huge change to your body's normal day-to-day functions and when you are with baby, your body will let you know!
Some moms-to-be will get one or two quiet signs at first, others' bodies will scream "I'M PREGNANT" with all 10 signs at once. As hormone levels fluctuate and your body learns how to react to these changed levels, most women will experience practically all of the very early signs of pregnancy. You just need to know what the signs are.
Elevated Basal Body Temperature
A woman's basal body temperature (the lowest body temperature attained during rest) begins to elevate after ovulation, and stays elevated past when you should have had your period. This increase in basal body temperature, usually one-half to one degree Fahrenheit, is a subtle very early warning sign of pregnancy. To get this clue, you should have some idea what your normal (non-pregnancy) basal temperature is.
Tenderness In The Breasts And Nipples
This is a classic early sign of early pregnancy - and one that often goes unnoticed. Many women attribute this tenderness to their bras or other clothing, and tend to ignore it. And, after the body gets used to the new hormone levels - the tenderness goes away. So, you must pay close attention to what your body is trying to say - because it may stop talking after a while.
Darker, More Prominent Areolas
As your breasts change and enlarge, your areolas (the darker area that surrounds the nipple) will swell and get bigger, too. This is a very early sign of pregnancy - normally occurring around the time you expect your period. Some believe that the darker coloring of the areola helps the newborn find the nipple for breastfeeding. After pregnancy, your nipples and areolas should return to normal colors and sizes.
Constipation
This is another very subtle clue - who doesn't get constipated at one time or another - without being pregnant?
The changing hormone levels can play games with your bowels, interrupting the normal frequency and timing of your bowel movements. Many women who are expecting just write constipation off as an unrelated issue. Like basal body temperature, paying close attention really can make a difference.
Spotting
Light to moderate spotting (commonly called implantation spotting) normally happens a week to several days before your normal period is supposed to happen. Pink or brownish spotting is common a week or so after ovulation. Sometimes, spotting can simply be a sign of an early period. If this happens, look for other signs of pregnancy or take a pregnancy test.
Frequent Urination
Another classic very early sign of pregnancy, frequent urination should be a standout. This can be one of the earliest clues - happening a week to 12 days after a rise in basal body temperature, or about six weeks into your first trimester. While rising hormone levels are partly to blame, the most likely reason you feel like you have to pee every 5 minutes or so is the fact that the amount of blood in your body increases dramatically during pregnancy. This leads to a lot of extra fluids flowing through your kidneys - therefore a lot more pee!
Nausea And Vomiting
Commonly referred to as "morning sickness," this early sign of pregnancy usually affects most women and begins around the sixth week of pregnancy. Again, hormone levels are thought to be the main cause. Surprisingly, many doctors feel that morning sickness is a good sign that all is well with your baby's health and development. If your morning sickness is accompanied with vomiting, be sure to stay hydrated.
Menstrual Period Missed
While there are many reasons you may miss a menstrual period - stress, illness, excessive exercise, reactions to foods or medications - this can be a classic sign of pregnancy. If your period is very regular, and you have no other obvious reason to miss one, look for other early signs you may be pregnant.
Cramping
Moderate to severe cramping can be a sign of many conditions - including pregnancy.Implantation cramping happens to a growing and moving uterus getting prepared to sustain a new life. Sometimes cramping can be a sign of constipation or gas in the bowels. Other more serious causes include miscarriage= or ectopic pregnancy.
You shouldn't have cramping after a positive pregnancy test - if you experience cramps with mild spotting, see your doctor to be sure all is well.
Unusual Fatigue And Tiredness
In our rush-rush modern world, it's not unusual to be dead tired at the end of a busy day. Fatigue is different - a feeling of lethargy and exhaustion that seems to happen no matter your level of activity or time of day. The truth is, your body is working very hard to accommodate a new life. And, this work takes energy - energy that is taken from your daily activities.
If you notice some of these very early signs of pregnancy, test yourself with a good quality pregnancy test you can get at your local drug store. These home pregnancy tests have become quite accurate, normally being able to sense a pregnancy 10 to 14 days after contraception. If you get a negative, but still feel you may be pregnant - see your doctor to be sure.
A Disturbed Balance Of Microorganisms Makes Your Body Susceptible To Yeast Infection Symptoms by Dorothy Winter
Candida albicans is a natural condition that in most instances will not do a healthy body any harm. The only problem is that frequently the normal balance of microorganisms that are regarded to be beneficial for the person get in disorder in proportion to other bacteria that are potentially harmful and in their turn cause excessive yeast growth which in turn give rise to yeast infection. Usually this infection be found in very warm and moist places in the body and the common form of yeast infection, Candida Albicans overgrowth, affects around seventy-five percent of the female population at the very least once in the course of their lifetimes.
The Discomfort Of Sudden Soreness And Itchiness
Feeling gradually more or less intense soreness and itchiness and the experience of pain in the course of sexual activity are the most common symptoms of yeast infection. Some more symptoms of yeast infection are a sensation of burning during urinating and the frequent appearance of a vaginal discharge of milky consistency resembling cottage cheese.
Usually there are unmistakable symptoms of vaginal yeast infection that are not to be noticed in any other health issues. However itchiness in the vaginal area can be both a symptom for yeast infection and as well a signal for another irritation such as the contact with chemicals contained in soaps or detergents and even in vaginal creams or douches.
As stated above it is presumable a symptom of yeast infection if sexual intercourse causes pain however it is not necessarily so. It's important to diagnose thoroughly before choosing a treatment. There are medications obtainable that are produced to treat candida albicans but sometimes have a harmful effect. That is to say in case the immune system reacts negatively upon the application which in turn can evoke vaginitis which is an inflammation of the vagina. Some symptoms of vaginitis are very similar to yeast infection such as the pain during sexual intercourse. Therefore it is important not to confuse those two conditions because both of them require different treatment.
Pain experienced during sexual intercourse can be one more yeast infection symptom. In addition there are also medications that are actually produced to cure candida albicans infection which in the contrary make the problem worse. This can happen because of a negative reaction of the immune system as a result of the application that in turn can release vaginitis, an infection occurring in the vagina. Because of the similar kind of pain occurring during sexual intercourse vaginitis is often being confused with yeast infection. But both conditions have to be treated different what's important to know.
Among the common symptoms of candida albicans yeast infection finally there is the typical odorless discharge. This vaginal discharge is not always noticeable but can be identified by its thickish consistency that is white and resembles cottage cheese.
However not only physical but also psychological reasons can play a decisive part in the development of yeast related health problems. One example is stress. A permanently stressed person is much more susceptible to a yeast infection than a mentally balanced individual. Stress is known to weaken the immune system.

Diabetes Today, the Disturbing Truth by by: jassicakainth
Diabetes is the fifth-deadliest disease. Since 1987 the death rate has increased 45 percent. In 2002; diabetes claimed an astonishing 224,092 lives in the United States alone. It is believed that the number was actually higher since most deaths of the elderly had multiple chronic conditions associated with their death including diabetes. Many people do not know that they have diabetes until they develop other life threatening conditions such as, heart disease, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney damage, nervous system damage, dental disease, sexual dysfunction, and a number of other complications. When you have diabetes the above complication are side illnesses, diabetes is this root of all of your medical problems and must be under control for you to recover from the side illnesses period! Being checked by your physician on a regular basis is absolutely necessary for your overall quality of life. If you do not know that you have diabetes, there is no other way of knowing that you have this deadly disease without a check up.
There are several different types of diabetes such as, type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 is the body's inability to produce insulin, people with type 1 are insulin dependent for the remainder of their lives, and they must also keep close track of their diets. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes; diabetes is a chronic disease and has no cure. While an estimated 14 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes it is also estimated that close to 6.2 million are unaware that they have this deadly disease. In 2005 1.5 million new cases were diagnosed in people age 20 and above. If this dangerous trend continues it is believed that 1 in 3 Americans will develop diabetes in their lifetime. It is also estimated that 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes today.
Pre-diabetes is a dangerous condition in itself, this is when the glucose level in the blood is not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes yet damage is being done to your internal organs. The body can not handle any unsafe level of sugar or glucose in the blood for any extended period of time.
Diabetes is the body's inability to use the sugar called glucose. Glucose is created when the body breaks down food for energy. The hormone insulin opens up the cells in the body to allow glucose to enter into the cell and be used as fuel. In diabetes the cell never opens up and the glucose flows through the blood stream causing high blood sugar levels. With diabetes the body either dose not make enough insulin or is resistant to its own natural insulin. High blood sugar can lead to very serious complications. Heart disease is the leading cause of premature death in people with diabetes. Diabetes is the major cause of leg and foot amputations in Americans today. Infections are much harder to control in people with diabetes, they are at greater risk of complications and death due to infection. The high risk factors leading to type 2 diabetes is too much body fat and high sugar intake! Diabetes is on the rise; Americans are eating poorly and are lacking physical activity and this is starting to really show in the children of America.
Free-radicals are very active in a person with diabetes. They attack a number of cells at once because diabetes causes an abnormal immune function due to high glucose levels in the blood and organs. Free-radicals are the reason you see so many different complications or side illnesses in this disease. Free-radicals are molecules or atoms that are missing an electron, free-radicals attack healthy cells trying to steal an electron from them. Chronic inflammation is also a major player with this disease and in the side illnesses. Chronic inflammation is being called the silent killer by doctors and scientists. All of the above diseases need medications to help regulate the disease, but you need to know this, medications cause free-radical damage, and this damage is called side effects. All medications can cause side effects. So eating properly to help your condition is absolutely essential for your life.
Think of free-radicals as a school of piranha, they feed on everything in sight, they are not picky eaters. Free-radicals cause healthy cells to become mutated or deformed and they attack any cell they come in contact with. Now if they do manage to steal an electron then that once healthy cell, in turn, becomes a free-radical doing what was done to it. This is a vicious cycle, basically there is a war going on inside your body. You can not see or feel this war but it is there, and one day it will show its ugly head in the form of a serious disease or illness. You must be on the defensive and feed your body what it needs in order to combat these little piranhas.
Inflammation is a bully, after the free-radicals have done the damage the inflammation is sent by the body to help heal but it is unable to heal mutations and deformities so the deformed or mutated cells begin to feed on the healthy inflammation cells. Now the inflammation cells are deformed or mutated and become chronic inflammation cells, the chronic inflammation cells begin attacking your healthy tissues and cells.
You have the power to take your health into your own hands and put a stop to the damage now. As we know anti-oxidants help the body fight against free-radicals, anti-oxidants are molecules or atoms that has an extra electron. It gives this extra electron away and in turn the free-radicals stop attacking healthy cells. Science has proven that ALL diseases and illnesses are caused by free-radical damage and the vast majorities have chronic inflammation as their side kick. There are risk factors for all diseases but free-radicals and chronic inflammation are the source and cause of major complications. Free-radicals can not be avoided; they are in air and water pollution, in the junk foods we eat, and caused by traumas and injuries. Free-radicals are a part of life; they even affect the aging process itself. Anti-oxidants are essential for health, plants contain about 1,000 to 1,500 anti-oxidants, a diet of fruits and vegetables is essential, supplements are key, vitamins and minerals contain high numbers of anti-oxidants. You need to do some research and try to find fresh supplements; they tend to lose their potency the longer they sit on the self.
Anyone with diabetes or even pre-diabetes must re-think their diets, moving towards fresh and properly cooked foods, stay away from fast foods and anything with high sugar content. Taking in a large number of anti-oxidants everyday, is essential to help your body recover and maintain better overall health. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled with diet and exercise, as long as you begin now. Pre-diabetes can be reversed.
There are also super charged, super powerful anti-oxidants in nature called Xanthones. Xanthones have the power to defeat a larger number of free-radicals at one time, due to strong carbon bonds that make the molecule stable. Each Xanthone performs a specific biological function inside the body unlike regular anti-oxidants. Universities and scientists have been studying xanthones for over 20 years. Scientists have found that xanthones are able to relieve a variety of problems and also help in the improvement of serious conditions. This is the reason that more and more universities and scientists are becoming involved in the research on these amazing xanthones. Two hundred xanthones have been identified in nature, and 41 are in the mangosteen fruit alone, you can compare that to the Aloe Vera plant that contains only one xanthone. The mangosteen fruit also contains 25,000 anti-oxidants. How can that help your health? The mangosteen fruit has the highest number of anti-oxidants and xanthones ever found in one source. One thing about xanthones you need to know is that they must be consumed in their natural form. For more information on xanthones you can call toll free 1-888-374-4148 and listen to a message about the mangosteen fruit juice and its powerful medicinal abilities.
People with diabetes are ruled by their medications and checking their blood everyday, they must see their doctor on a regular basis in order to keep their blood sugars under control by adjusting their medication. If their sugar goes too far up or too far down, massive damage to the internal organs and tissues is done and even the brain is affected, and can cause comma. This is a very deadly disease, but with the right food intake it dose not have to be, take care of your self.

The Horrendous Act of Cutting or Self Injury by Francis Murphy
"I lower the blade to the pale skin on the inside of my arm, and using a sharp corner of the blade, I quickly make a two-inch slash. I know not to go too deep. And when I'm in control, like now, I can do it just right. And just like that, I'm done. I hardly feel the pain of the cut at all. It's like it doesn't even hurt."
"I watch with familiar fascination as the blood oozes out in a clean, straight line. There is something reassuring about seeing my bright-red blood exposed like this. It's like this sign that I'm still alive and, weird as it sounds, that someday everything will be okay."
Though this is the story of a fictional character, Ruth Wallace (teen novel written by Melody Carlson: Blade Silver), this dangerous act of self injury is on a rise in USA as well as other countries.
Technically, cutting means the intentional use of sharp objects like razor, knife, pins, broken glass etc by teenagers (especially girls) to create cuts on their arms, legs, or other body parts as an outlet for emotional pain or to interrupt strong emotions and pressures which seem impossible to tolerate. It is a type of self injury which usually starts in teen age and if it becomes an addiction it might continue into adulthood also.
Negative emotions like rage, sorrow, rejection, desperation, longing, or emptiness can all lead to this horrendous act because this gives a false signal to the teenager that this might help them cope with pain of troubled relationships or unbearable pressures or strong emotions. Teenagers who think that they are an unfit for the society or that no one understands them often become easy targets of this act. Cutting might also be the outcome of loss of someone close or an escape from emptiness or due to subjection to sexual abuse.
The danger doesn't end here. Self injury is sometimes associated with depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, obsessive thinking, or compulsive behaviors. People who take on to it might be victims of other mental health problems which force them to take such drastic steps. Cutters might also get involved in other self-destructive behaviors like drug or alcohol abuse.
Dangers can go beyond physical and mental damage because it's not always possible to judge the depth of the cut. If the cut becomes deep it might lead to stitches or hospitalization. If non sterile instruments are used it might lead to infections also. Moreover, it can become a compulsive behavior (habit forming). The more a person engages in it, the more he or she feels the need to do it.
Let's try and control this epidemic which is spreading at a rapid pace because this action might give a temporary high but its scares are permanent and will haunt you and your child forever.
