Breast cancer
In
breast cancer, cells in your breast begin growing abnormally -
often for unknown reasons. These cells divide more rapidly than healthy
cells and may spread through your breast or into other parts of your
body. The most common type of
breast cancer begins in the ducts designed
to carry milk after childbirth, but cancer may also occur in the small
sacs that produce milk (lobules) or in other breast tissue.
CANDIDIASIS -
What is this?
Candidiasis has
been around for thousands of years, but it's only since the advent of
antibiotics that it has become a virtual epidemic. Antibiotics are a
factor in the development of candidiasis because they kill off the
friendly bacteria in our systems that keep the common yeast,
Candida
albicans, under control. When the
Candida yeast overgrows its bounds, it
causes a variety of symptoms that can range from general fatigue,
gas,
bloating, diarrhea, and frequent vaginal infections in women.

Candidiasis
Candida is a
yeast,
which is normally present in the bowel. It feeds on sugars, simple
carbohydrates and fermented products like alcohol and cheese. Everyone
has
Candida in the gut but the problem with it only occurs when the
numbers gets out of control. Causes for this can be: too many
antibiotics, a hormone imbalance (the pill is a major factor in this)
stress and poor nutrition. These affect the balance of organisms in the
gut and allow the bad ones to multiply. Candida/yeast/fungi
Candida Yeast Protection Program - A yeast infection?
Yeasts, tiny fungi-like organisms found on plant leaves, flowers and in
soil and saltwater, assist in the decomposition and recycling of plants
and algal.
Yeasts also play an important role in human culture and
history - imagine a world devoid of beer, wine and bread. Commercially,
yeasts produce alcoholic beverages by fermenting rice, wheat, barley,
and corn, and in the baking industry they are used to help dough to
rise. Brewer's
yeast - a rich source of protein, B vitamins,
niacin, and
folic acid - is often taken as a supplement. Candida/yeast/fungi
Candida Yeast Protection Program - Freeing the body from Candida and
preventing recurrence
In Part I of the Candida Yeast Protection Program we covered the
symptoms of
yeast overgrowth that afflict close to 80 million Americans
each year. This month we outline a five-phase treatment program designed
to free the body of Candida and prevent future recurrences. Phase I
deals with starving
Candida through dietary modification. Foods to avoid
and foods to eat freely will be discussed in detail. Phase II deals with
killing
Candida with fatty acids, herbal concentrates and antifungal
drugs. Phase III involves counteracting the toxic reactions to dying
yeast cells with fluids, fiber, activated charcoal, digestive aids and
nutritional supplements. Candida/yeast/fungi
Children Constipation
Constipation can undermine
the whole body and it is now known that irregular bowel movements are
directly related to serious health conditions.
Constipation does not
have to be a problem if you will practice prevention with your children
and implement the suggestions found in this article.
Constipation
If you
experience constipation for more than 1 week, you should consult your
healthcare provider to determine the cause of your problem. Most people
are suffering as a result of lifestyle changes and choices. For some
people, though, constipation can signal a more serious problem such as a
bowel obstruction or even colon cancer. If your bowel movements smell
foul it is your body giving you a warning signal! Listen to your body.
Definition of Constipation
If you’re
like many Americans,
constipation is something you’ve experienced. Over
4 million people each year report being constipated. Cases of colon
cancer are rising steadily. To understand why you may be suffering, you
first need to know exactly what
constipation means.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your body doesn't
make enough of a hormone called insulin, or if your body doesn't use
insulin the right way. If left untreated, it may result in blindness,
heart attacks, strokes,
kidney failure and amputations. Only half of the
people who have diabetes are diagnosed because in the early stages of
diabetes, there are few symptoms, or the symptoms may be the same as in
other health conditions.

Hepatitis B Virus/HIV -New Developments in the Management of Hepatitis B Virus/HIV Coinfection
Since the
introduction of potent antiretroviral therapy, HIV has been successfully
converted from a uniformly fatal illness to a manageable chronic
infection. Correspondingly, during the past 6 years the opportunistic
infections that complicate profound immunosuppression have been replaced
with newer forms of morbidity and even mortality.
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism
or under active thyroid is a disease resulting from deficiency of thyroid
hormone secretion. It manifests as lowered basal
metabolism generally
and to a lesser degree as cretinism. Symptoms may include obesity, dry
skin and hair, both of which tend to be lusterless, low blood pressure,
slow pulse, sluggishness of all functions, depressed muscular activity
and goiter. It is measured in the laboratory with a TSH (thyroid
stimulating hormone) test.
Osteoporosis
- What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is much more common in
women than it is in men. This is because women have less bone mass than
men, they tend to live longer and take in less
calcium, and they need
the female hormone estrogen to keep their bones strong. If men live long
enough, they also are at risk of getting
osteoporosis.
SARS
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness
caused by a coronavirus, called SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV).
SARS was first reported in Asia in February 2003. Over the next few
months, the illness spread to more than two dozen countries in North
America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak
of 2003 was contained. This fact sheet gives basic information about the
illness and what CDC has done to control SARS in the United States.
SARS - What is SARS?
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness
that was recognized as a global threat in March 2003, after first
appearing in Southern China in November 2002.
Stomach cancer What is stomach cancer?
Stomach cancer, which is also called
gastric cancer, is the growth of cells that are not normal in the lining
and wall of the stomach. The stomach is the organ where food is
digested.
