Recruitment For Alternative Medicine In Clinics

2012-04-03T22:49:00.004+08:00

It all started when he was 2 and was diagnosed with leukaemia. He has since been given chemotherapy and radiation. His parents are trying everything from herbal remedies, bio energy sessions, magnets in his pillow and mattress, fruit and vegetable drinks to acupuncture to help ease his pain. He is in remission now, after a bone marrow transplant, and his parents continue to blend traditional care with unconventional therapies. Everything that is possible must be done for him, says his mother. They were first cautious but later decided to keep trying various treatments too.
American Academy of Paediatrics has passed a brand new guideline which says that all doctors should be aware of other treatment. Unconventional treatments are not uncommon any more with 30% parents trying it out. Such remedies are always coming up with chronic illnesses or disabilities such as cancer, autism, sickle cell anaemia.
The physicians will have to out in an extra effort to make the patient feel that he is concerned. Knowing what treatments are being used helps the physicians actually monitor the child and see if the treatment is helping and whether it can be recommended to others as well. The amount of information found on the internet is one main reason for this change said the paediatric haematologist and oncologist at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters. The patients to be asked the alternative medicine they are trying.
The risks involved are told to the parents by him at the same time that he gives them support. Chemotherapy can be adversely affected with a lot of folic acid in the alternative medicine. There's nothing like deep touch massage, music therapy, or meditation he explains. His support is for anything that has no detrimental effect. It is but natural that the parents will only feel better when they've tried everything.
Doctors today have to face a lot more problems thanks to alternative treatments The Internet is full of pitches for such treatments many of which are unproven scientifically and difficult to assess. For instance, determining what ingredients are in herbal remedies and vitamin supplements can be nearly impossible.
Alternative medicines are being studied at the Medical schools while massage or chiropractic care is being paid for by insurance companies. But the array of treatments seems to grow by the day. The costly alternative treatments not covered by insurance are always warned about y the doctor.
The alternative treatment and the doctor's advice always go hand in hand said the boy's mother. The fruit and vegetable drink has been completely stopped for three months now because of the bone marrow transplant that has just taken place. The parents have been ready to take Alternative and complementary therapies for their parents to make sure their children don't get any serious diseases.

Relief of Tinnitus - Alternative and Conventional Treatments

2012-04-03T22:48:00.003+08:00

Hello fellow Tinnitus sufferers: This article will be about treatment for the relief of Tinnitus, both conventional medicine, and Alternative options.
It is indeed unfortunate that there really aren't any conventional medications that successfully treat Tinnitus, for all patients. As I have mentioned before, there are many different causes of Tinnitus. Therefore it stands to reason that the relief of Tinnitus would also be different per individual.
Conventional medicine has come up with Lidocaine, which in some people has been beneficial in the treatment of Tinnitus. The drawback is it has to be administered by intravenous injection, has a short shelf life, and has undesirable side effects.
Melatonin is another medication tested. It had no effect on most Tinnitus sufferers, except those who couldn't sleep because of their Tinnitus. The Melatonin given at bedtime helped them to sleep.
Education, Tinnitus retraining, and medications to treat symptoms are all the conventional medicine have in their arsenal for the treatment for Tinnitus, and in some people it has gone a long way to reduce the effects of Tinnitus on their lives.
Alternative Treatments for the Relief of Tinnitus
There is a need for Alternative treatments for Tinnitus relief as there is no cure for Tinnitus. These are not readily accepted by the physicians practicing conventional medicine. They are taught that treatment can only be achieved through modern Pharmacology.
Alternative treatments such as herbs, plant extracts, and mineral supplementation, laser light therapy, enzyme therapy, Botox injections, and magnetic Stimulation, are all possible treatments for Tinnitus.
Alternative treatment of Tinnitus might be as simple as variations in your diet, it could be you only need vitamin supplementation. Some sort of herbal remedy may give you the relief of your symptoms.
Lipoflavonoids, B vitamins, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and manganese, are nutrient supplements that have shown promise in the treatment of Tinnitus. There are many more to be discussed in my next installment.

I am a Tinnitus sufferer myself, for many years now. It is my belief that conventional medicine alone, cannot cure Tinnitus. I do however believe that nutrition, alternative therapies, vitamin supplementation, along with conventional medicine, relief of Tinnitus symptoms can be achieved. Follow me here to relief of Tinnitus [http://www.reliefoftinnitus.com] to a source of information that will surely enlighten you.

Stage 4 Lung Cancer - What Is It?

2012-04-03T22:47:00.004+08:00

What is stage 4 lung cancer? It is the most advanced stage of lung cancer known today. Having cancer at this stage means that the tumor at the lungs has spread out to the other parts of the body. This is also called metastasis. Identifying lung cancer stage is important to determine the extent of the spread of cancer and what possible treatment that a willing cancer patient must go through if he opt to be treated. This type of lung cancer may affect the brain, the liver, the adrenal glands and the bone.
Usually, a lung cancer is not detected on its early stage. Most symptoms start to manifest only at the later stage of the disease. Some stage 4 lung cancer symptoms are persistent coughing and sometimes with bloody mucous, shortness of breath, hoarseness of voice, difficulty in swallowing, tenderness of muscles with intolerable muscle pains, repeated occurrence of pneumonia or bronchitis and fatigue. Affecting the brain, the symptoms are severe headaches, vision changes and seizure attacks. For the liver and adrenal glands, a cancer patient may experience abdominal pain, fever, yellowish skin, swollen legs, weight loss and loss of appetite. Bone breakage occurs even when there is no injury that took place. Note however that different people may show different symptoms as this will depend on the other organs affected.
One should undergo multiple tests when most of the symptoms manifest. Stage 4 lung cancer can be diagnosed through various tests like chest x-rays, bone scans, CT scans or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound and other blood tests. After taking all the necessary tests and a diagnosis has been made, an individual who is said to have this disease is entitled to get a second opinion, after all, its his life that is at stake. Note however that this lung cancer has no more cure but there are treatment methods that an individual may undergo to reduce pain at a certain level, slow down the growth of cancer cells and extend his life.
The common treatments recommended to slow down the spread of cancer cells for stage 4 lung cancer are chemotherapy, radiation therapy and in some cases the combination of both. Why not surgery? Surgery at this point in time is not recommended because as stated, this stage is characterized with the spread of tumors in various organs. The purpose of surgery is to remove the organ affected with tumor. To remove all the organs with tumor will just make the cancer patient weaker and may even be the cause for him to pass away sooner than he should. Chemotherapy, as a treatment, makes use of chemical agents to destroy the cancer cells. There are three ways to take this treatment. It can be taken orally, through injection or through the veins. What is important is the dosage of administering this treatment. But there is a setback. The treatment can also destroy non-cancer cells. Chemotherapy can not distinguish a good cell from a cancer cell. Radiation therapy on the other hand use radioactive substances to target and destroy the DNA of the cancer cells. An external machine can be used or a radioactive material can be inserted into the body and position it close to the area affected by the tumor. Like chemotherapy, radiation therapy can also damage normal body cells.
In consideration of the family of a cancer patient, they will also experience agony as they witness the physical hardships that their love one is going through. The cancer patient with so much effort will try not to show how much physical pain he is experiencing because he knows that his love ones will also suffer. In reciprocity, family members will try hard not to show how much they sympathize and empathize for their cancer patient. For most families, a disease such as stage 4 lung cancer has brought the family members closer to each other. One concern that brings the family together is the fact that this is a terminal case. It is but human nature to want to spend time with a love one who you know will be gone soon. Another reason concerns family decisions and support that need to be made. When a patient decides that he wants to undergo treatment, he will be needing all the support that his family can give.
Stage 4 lung cancer is a dreadful disease that no one wants to have but there are ways not to reach this stage if you already have lung cancer.

So When Your Hip Hurts, What's Going on and What Do You Do?

2012-04-03T22:46:00.001+08:00

There are many different causes of hip pain. And among the various problems requiring arthritis treatment, this ranks near the top.
This article will discuss the three most common types.
Osteoarthritis... the major culprit
The first is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a disease of cartilage, the gristle that caps the ends of long bones, and which cushions joints to allow gliding. When cartilage wears away, in other words, deteriorates, it causes the bones in the hip to rub against each other.
The pain of osteoarthritis is generally felt in the groin. It also may be felt in the buttocks. Patients may have difficulty getting their shoes and socks on and off the affected foot. Getting in and out of a chair may be difficult. Going up and down stairs may also be a problem.
On examination range of motion of the hip is abnormal. In particular, internal rotation tends to be affected early.
If osteoarthritis of the hip is suspected, the doctor will often order x-rays. The x-rays will show narrowing of the joint space as well as bone spurs and cysts in the bones next to the joint.
The treatment will vary depending on the extent of symptoms. Patients may respond to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, intra-articular steroid injections, and stretching exercises.
While patients may eventually require total joint replacement, if the arthritis is not that severe, a stem cell procedure may be considered.
Hip tendonitis... a major player
Another cause of hip pain is tendinitis. Tendinitis causes inflammation in the tough fibrous band that connects bones to muscles. The most common cause of tendinitis is overuse.
There are many different tendons in the hip region. The tendons in the front of the hip, if affected, will cause pain in the groin. This is particularly evident when a patient climbs stairs or gets up from the chair.
Tendinitis on the outside of the hip will cause pain with stair climbing. Also, the patient may experience discomfort at night if they try to lie on the affected hip.
Tendinitis involving the hamstring tendons in the hip may cause pain in the buttocks with walking or running.
The diagnosis is suspected by history and confirmed by physical examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be needed to confirm the extent of damage.
The treatment of choice is rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy, early on.
Sometimes, steroid injections are required for acute problems.
For more chronic tendon problems, a percutaneous needle tenotomy using ultrasound guidance followed by platelet rich plasma (PRP) is generally advised. Surgery is rarely required.
Last... but not least
The final common problem that may affect the hip is bursitis. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae, the small sacks of fluid that cushion bones and tendons.
The pain is felt along the outside of the hip. It is extremely painful when examined.
Treatment involves anti-inflammatory medications, ice, physical therapy, and stretching.
If non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are ineffective, steroid injection may be required.
Again, this is a situation where percutaneous needle tenotomy with platelet rich plasma (PRP) may be needed.
There are obviously other causes of hip pain, but these are the three most common problems requiring specific arthritis treatment.

To Heal Yourself - Understand the Powerful Effect Your Emotions Have on Your Body!

2012-04-03T22:45:00.000+08:00

Unconscious, repressed emotions initiate physical illness such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, neck and back pain, migraine, repetitive stress injuries, tendonitis, IBS, Crohn's, colitis, heart burn, hiatus hernia, fibromyalgia, arthritis, lyme disease, weight gain, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalances, PMS, eczema, psoriasis, and even cancer.
How can emotions have such a powerful impact on the body?
The circulation of blood is under control of a subsystem of the central nervous system known as the autonomic nervous system. An emotion, such as anger, fear, or guilt, initiates a process in the brain which activates the autonomic nervous system, causing a reduction of blood circulation to the involved area. The affected area is now deprived of their full complement of oxygen, resulting in a reduced rate of repair and an increase in inflammation.
If the affected area is a joint, tendon or a muscle, they will be more prone to injure and will remain in an inflammatory state causing arthritis, RA, fibromyalgia, back/ neck pain or some other pain syndrome. If the affected areas are the intestines a person will be more likely to develop IBS, colitis, Crohn's, spastic colon, bowel irregularities; if in the cardiovascular system, one would be more prone to inflammation of the blood vessels causing plaque formation and heart disease; if in the brain, it could lead to anxiety, depression, dementia and Alzheimer; if in the hormonal system, it could cause weight gain, hypothyroidism, PMS, fatigue, or adrenal burn-out.
An interesting note on cancer, Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg proved over 50 years ago that cancer occurs whenever any cell is denied 60% of its oxygen requirement.
Also, did you know inflammation is thought to be the culprit behind the visible signs of aging?
As you can see, addressing underlying repressed emotions can increase oxygenation to tissue and reduce inflammation resulting in improved health, less pain, more youthful appearance, and weight loss.
Powerful techniques used to assist in the healing process of unresolved emotions:
Inner Child Therapy:
The concept of the 'inner child' stands for unfinished emotions and feelings from our first years. It stands for essential aspects of our being, like trust, innocence and natural energy that have been damaged or oppressed in our early years. When areas within have gone unhealed and unheard they may show up in your outer life as problematic communications, anger issues, dysfunctional relationships, addictions or codependency. They may leave us feeling sad, lonely, abandoned or distrustful. Most of these issues were established out of earlier experiences which were learned in early childhood.
Magnified Healing
Many have described Magnified Healing energy as "soft yet powerful," "magnetic," "very yin" (or feminine) in its essence. Using the center line of the body and starting at the top of the head, practitioners place one hand in front of the body and the other behind the body. They then move their hands down the body all the way to the feet until the entire body has been treated with Magnified Healing. Magnified Healing recipients often feel a pleasant tingling or pulsing in areas with which the healing facilitator is working. The recipient generally completes the treatment with great reduction of stress and pain.
Heart Linking
A heartlink is an energy cord, or channel, that we establish between our heart center and the heart center of another. Heartlinks serve as a tool that fills us with energy to the point of overflowing enabling us to share the excess with others.
Reconnection Therapy
Reconnection Therapy is the process of cleansing and re-activating our personal grid...our connection to everything else in the universe. Many people report feeling a new sense of confidence and empowerment with clarity about their life's purpose. Almost everyone reports their desires manifesting more quickly. Physical changes are increased energy and vitality, looking younger, softer skin, staying healthy, not catching colds and viruses, even the healing of disease. The dependence on medicines and supplements falls away as you allow the wisdom that created your body to heal your body.
Trauma Release Techniques
Trauma is defined as emotional, psychological or physiological symptoms that result from events that overwhelm the nervous system. Feelings of being out of control or helplessness may result after a traumatic experience. This could be something as seemingly non life-threatening, but traumatic none the less as a dental and medical procedure, falls, or minor car accidents. When a state of helplessness and lack of control accompanies negative life experiences, our brains are unable to rid themselves of the messages of threat. All of the experiences that accompanied these traumatic events are mainly stored in our unconscious survival memory centers.
The techniques used help to extinguish the portions of traumatic memory with ease, without having to "re -live the experience" but by eliminate those memories cues that cause a "fight, flight or freeze reaction."
Removal of Energy Blocks
Energy Blocks can take many forms, such as stagnated blood or lymph causing toxins to build up in the body, thus resulting in disease. Another form can be limiting beliefs and expectations preventing us from manifesting fulfillment in our lives. "When Qi (a name for energy) flows freely along the meridians, people are free from illness; if the Qi is blocked, the pain follows." Ancient Chinese Saying.
Locked-in negative emotions
Quantum biology teaches us that consciousness is not localized to any one place. Every time you have a thought or a feeling, a desire, an instinct, or a drive, the body produces specific neuropeptides to communicate that feeling to the rest of the body. Researchers have found receptor sites to these neuropeptides in the immune system and in all organs of the body. Because of this direct mind-body link, negative emotions; e.g. anger, grief, rejection, fear, worry, self-criticism; can create a physical effect. For example, someone that is very self-critical will communicate that feeling to the immune system, causing the immune system to think that there is something wrong with the self and start to attack the self (your own body) leading to an autoimmune disorder, such as arthritis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, asthma, fibromyalgia, or even cancer. Another example could be an inability to speak about your emotions, not feeling heard, or your voice doesn't matter affecting the thyroid, resulting in a slow functioning thyroid, slow metabolism and weight gain.
Inherited negative emotions from prior generations:
Bert Hellinger's Family Systems Oriented Psychotherapy and advanced APN are very effective tools in dealing with these types of issues. The common dynamics that can affect the person from prior generations are as described in Dr. Klinghardt Systemic Energy Psychology manual:
1. "I follow you." E.g. a mother dies at childbirth at age 22. The child lives. When the child turns 22, she commits suicide.
2. "I do it for you." E.g. a father is unhappy. He considers (unknown to anyone else) to leave the family. His 4 year old daughter develops cancer and does it for him.
3. "I am like you." E.g. in a specific family, over generations, men around the age 35 are involved in a huge business failure.
4. "I take it from you." E.g. the client's father was chronically very angry at his wife. The daughter carries the anger for him (displacement of subject) and projects it onto her husband (displacement of object).
5. "I want to be with you." E.g. a daughter was never held lovingly by her father. Her whole life becomes an attempt to finally be held by a man. It will always fail because of displacement of object. It can be completed through APN.
6. Atonement for personal or taken on guilt. E.g. A newborn loses his mother at birth. He will often live as he does not deserve to be here.

Arthritis and Tendonitis Treatment: How To Lick Achilles Tendonitis

2012-04-03T22:43:00.003+08:00

Soft tissue disorders are a common complaint in a rheumatologist's office. The term soft tissue disorder encompasses conditions such as tendinopathy, bursitis, fibromyalgia, muscle disorders, and ligament strain.
This article will focus on Achilles tendonopathy, better known as Achilles tendonitis.
The most common cause of pain in the back of the ankle is Achilles tendon dysfunction.
The Achilles tendon consists of the continuation of two calf muscle, the gastrocnemius and the soleus which unite to form a common tendon that inserts into the back of the calcaneus (heel bone).
The blood supply for this tendon comes from arteries of the calcaneus as well as arteries descending down from the two muscles described above.
The major problem is that the blood supply is not complete leaving what is called an "avascular zone" or "watershed zone" where blood supply to the tendon is absent. This avascular zone extends from about two to six centimeters above the Achilles insertion at the calcaneus.
This avascular zone increases the likelihood of injury in this area.
There are two types of Achilles tendonitis. One is insertional where the Achilles tendon attaches at the calcaneus. The other is non-insertional and occurs in the avascular zone.
Insertional Achilles tendonitis occurs at the site of insertion of the Achilles and is associated with obesity, female gender, and age. Tenderness and swelling is noted and bursitis can also be apparent.
Non-insertional Achilles tendonitis is best called Achilles tendinopathy. Why? Sections of an affected tendon seen under a microscope show degeneration of tendon fibers due to repetitive microtrauma. They reveal very little inflammation. The suffix "itis" means inflammation. The suffix "opathy" implies degeneration.
his picture is often seen in male athletes, particularly runners, who report a sudden change in their workout regimen. There can be a small amount of inflammation seen in what is called the peritenon, the surface of the tendon. However, inflammation is minimal compared with tendon fiber degeneration.
The tendon is tender and swollen on examination.
The diagnosis is suspected clinically but can be confirmed by both magnetic resonance imaging as well as diagnostic ultrasound.
Treatment of both types of Achilles tendon problems starts with trying to reduce inflammation and pain.
Therapeutic options include ice, heel lifts, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and reduction of activity on a temporary basis. Steroid injections should not be given since these increase the likelihood of tendon rupture. Severe cases can be treated with 4-6 weeks immobilization in a walking Achilles boot.
Physical therapy and eccentric tendon stretching exercises can be quite helpful. One new therapy that has some proponents is low energy shock wave therapy.
Controversy surrounds the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP). Several randomized controlled studies have come up with conflicting results. These results may be explained on the basis of study design as well as technique. For example one study compared tenotomy (peppering the tendon with a needle) versus PRP.
It is accepted that tenotomy works so comparing a treatment that works and then saying PRP doesn't work any better than tenotomy alone is "gaming" the study.
In addition, the platelet concentrate should be high quality. Care should be taken to avoid premature platelet activation.
In our hands using ultrasound needle guidance with tenotomy and PRP, Achilles tendinopathy has responded very well.
Surgery is rarely indicated unless the tendon has ruptures.

Substance Abuse Treatment Is a Way To Start Over Again

2012-04-03T22:42:00.004+08:00

The prevalence of substance abuse treatment facilities in our nation is indicative of the broadening swath of addictive disease that has become widespread over the last few decades. There are so many people with serious illnesses that aren't receiving treatment for their addictions, it's nearly verging on epidemic status. It takes a courageous person to find a substance abuse treatment facility or hospital that can accommodate his or her specific needs. Many religious organizations and charity facilities offer a stepping stone of sorts to allow people to step into a potential healing environment. These are often subsidized by municipal programs or federal programs that are still fighting the difficult war on drugs that began many decades ago. Drug and alcohol usage is a part of our social fabric, and it's not going anywhere. The important thing is to recognize the symptoms and evaluate what it means to be an addict or alcoholic.
With the onslaught of synthetic narcotics flooding the streets, many people don't realize that the drugs of the past are not the same as they used to be. Many illegal drugs are all available in a prescription pill form. The dangers that exist with this kind of pill-popping phenomenon are such that these drugs can be offered to a demanding public in a manner that amplifies addiction. If people can just pop a pill in their mouths to get their fix, and these pills are easily transportable, the black market drug trade has become as efficient as your local drug store. A forward-thinking, imaginative substance abuse treatment center will address this kind of powerful magnetism and diabolical trend with state-of-the-art methods of diagnosis and therapy.
There's no easy way out of it, that's for sure. The same is true with alcohol addiction, as the social norms for binge drinking and party lifestyles have changed substantially since days gone by. With any substance abuse treatment group, they attempt to quantify the symptoms and actively engage with the underlying issues that are causing the illness. What it takes is a focused therapy professional and a courageous support group that can genuinely embrace the individual and advance his or her healing process. Easier said than done, to be sure.
If you know someone with an addictive problem, unless the problem has become detrimental to their health or others, it's often best to allow the addiction to find its course. Therapists will tell you that addicts and alcoholics cannot be helped unless they're ready to be helped. Contact a local religious organization and let the professionals guide you through the process for intervention. Once the path has been lit, the journey can begin toward healing and salvation. One step at a time is the way to your goal and a healthy life, regardless of the problem. With a little help, any obstacle can be overcome.

All About Historical Treatments of Depression

2012-04-03T22:40:00.003+08:00

Depression has been around probably as long as man has been. It was known as melancholia or 'black bile'. A chemical imbalance of transmitters in the brain was thought to be the cause of most Depressive Disorders. Depression continues to plague people and new and more effective treatments are becoming available all the time. We will take a look at just a few of the historical treatments of Depression.
During the 1950's, studies found that the presence of Risperine isoiazed could result in changing the monomine neurotransmitter levels and that they had an effect on systems of depression. It was also considered that there might be other causes of Depression.
The suspected causes included the belief that Depression was hereditary. Also, it was believed that both the environment and biology may be responsible for Depression.
Other causes of Depression that were considered were medical conditions, diet deficiencies, and the abuse of alcohol and other drugs.
Historical treatments of Depression offered only two options: antidepressants and ECT - Electroconvulsive Therapy also known as shock treatments. A patient is given a general anesthetic and a muscle relaxant. Electrodes are placed on the scalp and controlled electrical pulses are delivered which initiate a seizure in the brain. The patient's muscles are relaxed and there is usually only a slight movement in the hands and feet. After a few minutes, the patient awakes and remembers nothing about the procedure or the events surrounding it. Often, the patient is confused after the procedure is done.
Antidepressants addressed the chemical imbalance of the brain. They were effective for most people. The side effects from antidepressants were serious, causing all kinds of side effects - even death. Many antidepressants left patients lethargic and had sedative effects.
A treatment that is not historic, but has the potential of making history is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS. This treatment involves a doctor using a hand-held magnetized coil that is electrically charged. The coil is passed over the patient's scalp and the pulse penetrates the skull and stimulates the brain. This procedure is currently experimental. There is potential for this procedure to become extremely precise and be able to target very exact parts of the brain for treatment.
Historical Treatments of Depression are being updated and replaced by current research that is being done. This is probably the best time for those suffering with any form of depression because of the continuous advances being made.

We have found a pure natural depression supplement that can also help with anxiety and overall general well being.

Depression And Vitamin Supplements

2012-04-03T22:39:00.003+08:00

Depression can sometimes be called the invisible illness. The reason for this is because symptoms, especially in fairly mild cases of Depression could be missed altogether but they could lead to a mistaken diagnosis. There are various treatments available to treat Depression. Our purpose is to discuss Depression and vitamin supplements.
Depression Symptoms
In mild cases there is an air of sadness about you. You may have some fatigue but you are still able to function appropriately. In moderate to severe cases the depth of sadness is much greater. You may experience greater fatigue, lose interest in activities you once enjoyed, and have greater difficulty in daily functioning. Sleep and your appetite may change. You may begin to shy away from family and friends and have employment problems.
Depression Treatments
Medical procedures such as Electroconvulsive Therapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and Vagal Nerve Stimulation are used primarily in severe cases. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an experimental procedure that has the potential to be a very precise treatment for brain issues.
Anti-depressants are drugs that are prescribed to balance chemicals in the brain or to allow the chemicals already present to work more efficiently. They are also used to help you control mood swings. The unfortunate thing about them though, is that they have some very serious side effects connected to them. Some of the milder side effects are that they may make you dizzy or nauseous. They could also inhibit your sex drive. The most serious side effects are thoughts and/or attempts of suicide.
Herbal Supplements are a group of herbs that are known to positively affect your mood are blended in a formula with vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional substances. Herbal supplements are very effective and have far fewer if any side effects. The highest quality supplements are put through a lot of testing including the interactions of the ingredients, how the body metabolizes them at the molecular level and they should be made to pharmaceutical grade.
Depression and vitamin supplements
Vitamins are used to treat Depression particularly B vitamins. Riboflavin, Thiamine, and Biotin are used in supplements. Vitamins are an integral part of good health. They may however, have added benefits as in treating Depression. They are most often found in supplements with other nutritional agents.
Conclusion
As difficult as it may be to treat your Depression there are treatment options including medical procedures that are usually used only in severe cases. Vitamins, especially some of the B vitamins can also treat Depression. They work best in supplemental forms.

We have found a pure natural depression supplement that can also help with anxiety and overall general well being.

Preventing and Treating Migraines Without Medications

2012-04-03T22:37:00.002+08:00

A variety of noninvasive and non-pharmaceutical strategies can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine pain.
Vision correction
Eyestrain is a well-known trigger for migraines. If you haven't visited an optometrist or ophthalmologist recently, make an appointment to have your eyes checked and your prescription updated for your eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Dental devices
A relatively common cause of migraine headaches is temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. The temporomandibular joint is where the lower jaw joins the rest of the skull. If you place a finger just in front of your ear and open and close your mouth, you can feel the end of the mandible (jaw) moving under the skin.
Misalignment in this joint is very common and can lead to migraines. In addition to headaches, you might experience popping or stiffness as you open and shut your mouth, especially while you're eating. Misalignment can result from dental work that creates imbalance in your bite, grinding your teeth in your sleep (known as bruxism), and stress that leads to clenching the muscles of the jaw.
TMJ dysfunction can be treated in a variety of ways: stretching and massage, applying heat or cold, anti-inflammatory medications, and stress management techniques. A dental evaluation for TMJ function is very important, since a dentist can prescribe a bite plate to realign your jaw or a night guard to prevent bruxism.
Another dental device is fitted just over the front teeth, unlike bite plates and night guards. Called the nociceptive trigeminal inhibitor (NTI), it causes the front teeth (incisors) to be in constant contact, which prevents any other teeth from touching.
The theory behind the NTI is that people with migraines have hyperactive trigeminal nerves. These nerves, one on either side of the head, supply the jaw muscles, and, in people with migraines, their hyperactivity results in jaw clenching, especially at night. The resulting muscle tension and pain can then trigger migraines. The NTI prevents contact between teeth the back of the jaw, which completely prevents clenching or bruxism. You can try this for yourself by touching your front teeth together; it's physically impossible to clench your jaw at the same time. The NTI is FDA-approved for the prevention of migraines.
Biofeedback
This strategy makes use of the mind-body connection, teaching you to take conscious control of bodily functions that have seemed to be beyond your influence. Biofeedback is an established therapy for many medical conditions, and training is commonly available through hospitals, medical centers, and clinics.
In biofeedback training sessions for migraine headaches, a technician attaches a sensor to your skin that measures one or more of several conditions: muscle activity, skin temperature, and the continual pressure within blood vessels. These measurements are fed back to you as information in the form of a beep or a flashing light.
During training sessions, you'll learn how these measures change under different conditions. For instance, when you're startled (a form of stress), your blood vessels contract, skin temperature drops, and muscles tense. The next step is to learn specific techniques to counteract the tension, for instance, so that you gain conscious control over some of the triggers that can cause migraines.
Biofeedback sensors can be purchased online. However, working with a trainer greatly increases the effectiveness of biofeedback. This technique has been proven effective in reducing the frequency of migraine attacks.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation
TMS is a technique that uses a specialized electromagnet placed on the scalp that emits short magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain. A small study by Ohio State University researchers in 2006 seemed to show that TMS reduced the symptoms of migraine. However, other researchers have not duplicated the results of this study. Until they do, TMS should be considered to be of questionable value in treating migraines.

A chronic migraine sufferer himself, Steve Adams is a research scientist, and has a Ph.D. degree in biophysics. For more information on migraines, visit http://topmigraineremedy.com

Methods to Stop Smoking - Which is the Best?

2012-04-03T00:30:00.003+08:00

There are so many methods to stop smoking, some of them expensive. Which is really the best for you? Find out more in this article.
If you're reading this article then I would say that you are approaching your quitting in a logical manner. You want to know the methods to stop smoking and figure out which is the best for you. Let's do a quick run through of the most common methods.
Willpower
Willpower is where most smokers start their quitting "career". After all, it's free and doesn't cost you anything! How long have you lasted then? I know that when I was a smoker, I could barely last a day or two without cigarettes. I needed them as badly as I needed food, probably more so.
The bad news, although you probably knew it anyway, is that hardly anyone quits in the long term (talking years rather than days) using willpower alone. If we're talking about not smoking for the rest of their life and never having a relapse then you're looking at around a 1% success rate. Pretty poor, really.
Hypnosis
More and more people are turning to hypnosis to cure their smoking addiction. Turn the clock back 20 years and it was not very common. Most people did not trust anyone with "their minds". These days, the profession has a lot more credibility and more and more people are using hypnosis.
Not just that, but thanks to the internet, you can even take your hypnosis sessions in the comfort of your own home. Just surf for one of the many hypnosis sites, use your credit card and within a minute you can be listening to an mp3 hypnosis session. However, ask any hypnotist and they will tell you that, ideally, they need to be able to read your response and adjust the session accordingly.
Does it work? Sadly no. I never took hypnosis myself but the studies say that it does not. For instance, The Cochrane Collaboration (an international not-for-profit organization) did a study into this and could not prove that hypnosis had a greater effect on 6 month quit rates than any other or no treatment. If I were you, I'd keep those hundreds of dollars that it would cost you and buy your family some presents instead!
Stop Smoking Magnets
Magnets are a member of the methods to stop smoking as lasers, acupuncture and acupressure. Basically, you wear them on the ear and they are supposed to reduce cravings for cigarettes so that you can more easily quit. The idea is one of Eastern philosophy, being that acupressure points are stimulated to produce endorphins and these are what make you feel more calm and have less cravings.
The verdict? Although I'm sure that your local practitioner of Eastern medicine will disagree with me, the facts are that this is yet another method which might work for a few days but does not work in the long term.
What Does Work?
Used alone, most of these methods to stop smoking are pretty much useless. However, using many of these therapies together and combining with other drugs such as anti-depressants, as well as making sure you have a good support structure will increase your chances of quitting. There are also some other methods that are used by a large minority that claim to address the underlying addiction rather than just the symptoms (cravings) like most other cures.

Meningioma Facts and Symptoms

2012-04-03T00:29:00.003+08:00

Meningiomas are brain tumors that develop in the small membranes or meninges that essentially cover and protect the brain as well as the spinal cord. Meningioma brain tumors normally grow at a slow pace and won't affect the tissue surrounding the brain tumor.
In most cases the meningioma brain tumor is benign (non-cancerous) and will not spread to other parts of the body or nervous system. However, there are very rare cases of malignant meningiomas that are more aggressive.
When a neurologist has actually diagnosed an individual as having this type of brain tumor the person should find out as many facts as possible. Depending on the symptoms, size and location, the neurologist will determine the type of treatment that best suits the individual circumstance. Although Meningioma brain tumors can affect people of all ages, studies have shown that they are most common in women and are most likely to be found in people that are between the ages of forty and sixty years of age. Some of the possible meningioma symptoms are:-

Vision Blurring
Memory blocks
Seizures
Vomiting
Persistent or severe headaches that occur frequently
Extreme feeling of pressure felt on the inside of the skull
Blind spots at the back of the eye

Keep in mind these are only a few of the possible symptoms; a physician can do several test to evaluate the situation and see if a meningioma is in fact the cause of these problems. Tests such as mental function and vision testing may be carried out but the most conclusive test in the determination of a diagnosis of a brain tumor is an MRI scan of the brain. (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) The MRI scan uses magnetic and radio waves, meaning that there is no exposure to X-Rays or any other damaging forms of radiation. During the MRI test a contrast dye may be administered through your system to make the images clearer.For medium to large meningioma brain tumors your neurologist and physician will most likely recommend surgery to remove the brain tumor if it is in an accessible location. This is the most successful and primarily effective way to remove the meningioma. In some patients, if full removal is not possible, recurring meningiomas might require more treatment that would include radiation therapy.
The rate of successfully treating and removing this type of brain tumor is very high. For more information as well as details and more symptom information, there are several web sites via the Internet that are associated with meningiomas. Some of the web sites refer to the treatments and diagnosis of the brain tumor and may be a little daunting if you come across one that is written specifically for the medical profession. There are support groups and survivor stories that will be very useful to the non-medical profession and these offer encouragement, resources and further fact sheets for the recently diagnosed.
Having a meningioma brain tumor is certainly life threatening if not treated. Listen to what your body is telling you. If you are experiencing any strange or unusual symptoms that you are uncomfortable about, a visit to your physician is always the best remedy.

Natural Full Spectrum Lighting and Human Health

2012-04-03T00:28:00.000+08:00

Lighting affects health. Studies show that full spectrum natural lighting is the best for health and well-being. Here are the details of some of the most commonly asked questions related to electric lighting and human health.
Photobiology is the scientific study of the effect of light on the human body. One of the most popular studies in recent years has focused on using electric light to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. SAD is a winter depression caused by less exposure to light because of the shorter winter days. Scientists discovered that light stimulates the body to suppress the release of depression-causing hormones and enzymes. Most treatments use ordinary fluorescent lighting, though full spectrum or natural light lamps are presently recommended. Phototherapy is also commonly used to treat jaundiced infants. Light also affects our biological rhythms. Light therapy is also being used to help shift workers adjust to their new sleep patterns or to help long distance travelers adjust to jet lag.
Electromagnetic Field Radiation or EMF is increasingly in the news because of theories it can cause health problems. Does lighting generate dangerous EM? Most publicized cases cite the common 60Hz magnetic field. As you know, most household appliances, office equipment and lighting use this frequency. The distance between a worker and the magnetic field is a significant parameter. Most are not very close to lights since the lights are in the ceiling.
The truth is that low level signals of ultrasound and radio waves emit from lighting and the FCC limits exposure to these frequencies in the case of electronic ballasts. Ordinary personal computers emit more radio waves than lighting. A minuscule amount of radioactive krypton or promethium may be present in some fluorescent lamps. However, the most extreme case of exposure would produce a thousand times less exposure than we all receive from background radiation.
Light flicker, such as the flicker of a strobe light, can cause headaches. The light produced by both fluorescent and HID lamps does flicker, but to a much lesser degree than a strobe light. The flicker's frequency is so high, that most individuals are not affected. However, some people complain of headaches, fatigue and dizziness. Studies related to autism and some other kinds of neurological disorders have revealed connections to this kind of flickering effect. For this reason, some studies are advocating the use of natural full spectrum lighting for schools where autistic students are in attendance.
Natural full spectrum lamps are available on the market and are manufactured by Ott-Lite and other companies. Whatever the lighting used in the home, it is important to utilize the results of these studies to ensure optimum health.

Alternative Medicine and Back Pain

2012-04-03T00:26:00.001+08:00

Truly, back pain also known dorsalgia, is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine. Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent complaints. It can be a sign of a serious medical problem, although this is not most frequently the underlying cause. Typical warning signs of a potentially life threatening problem are bowel or bladder incontinence or progressive weakness in the legs. The back pain that occurs after a trauma, such as a car accident or fall may indicate a bone fracture or other injury. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain. Back pain is called chronic if it lasts for more than three months.
Pain
However, pain may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain, it can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas. The pain may be felt in the neck and might radiate into the arm and hand, in the upper back, or in the low back and might radiate into the leg or foot and may include symptoms other than pain, such as weakness, numbness or tingling. Nevertheless, a few observational studies suggest that two conditions to which back pain is often attributed, lumbar disc herniation and degenerative disc disease may not be more prevalent among those in pain than among the general population and that the mechanisms by which these conditions might cause pain are not known.
Spine
Meanwhile, the spine is a complex interconnecting network of nerves, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments and all are capable of producing pain. Large nerves that originate in the spine and go to the legs and arms can make pain radiate to the extremities. The relationship between the magnetic resonance imaging appearance of the lumbar spine and low back pain, age and occupation in males. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine in people without back pain. However, arthritis can affect any joint in the body, including the small joints of the spine. Arthritis of the spine can cause back pain with movement. If the spine becomes unstable enough, back pain can become a problem.
Treatment
However, treatment of acute back pain is short term and usually successful. Treatment is then based on avoiding postures or movements that aggravate symptoms, as well as performing or adhering to postures to assist in symptom reduction. Once you have a diagnosis for your back pain or radiating leg pain, you should carefully review your treatment options. Not all treatments work for all conditions or for all individuals with the same condition and many find that they need to try several treatment options to determine what works best for them. The present stage of the condition acute or chronic is also a determining factor in the choice of treatment.
Generally, some form of consistent stretching and exercise is believed to be an essential component of most back treatment programs. The treatments with uncertain or doubtful benefit Injections, such as epidural steroid injections and facet joint injections may be effective when the cause of the pain is accurately localized to particular sites. The treatment of acute low back pain is bed rest, exercises, or ordinary activity. This is important to know because different treatments work better for each type of pain. With physical therapy, follow up treatment and prevention practices, these patients typically return to full functionality in a few weeks. Though, they may occasionally reinjure themselves and have to return for a short course of treatment.
Acupressure is closely related to acupuncture but without the needles. The idea of acupressure is to put pressure on specific points in the body, using only hands and fingers to restore balance and thus relieve pain. Herbs have been used to relieve pain for thousands of years. Todays pain relieving medications are mostly synthetic reproductions of these long used and natural herbs. The main difference is that the synthetic reproductions often produce a lot of side effects but the natural herbs they are based upon do not. Chiropractors have been manipulating spines for many years. Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases. Chiropractic medicine as we recognize it today was not actually established until 1895. The AMA was established in 1847, so they do have a jump on chiropractors as such.
Back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 10 out of 13 people at some point during their lives. No conclusions can be drawn about the use of cold for lower back pain. Bed rest is rarely recommended as it can exacerbate symptoms and when necessary is usually limited to one or two days. Chronic back pain tends to last a long time and is not relieved by standard types of medical management. However, acute back pain is commonly described as a very sharp pain or a dull ache, usually felt deep in the lower part of the back and can be more severe in one area, such as the right side, left side, center, or the lower part of the back.

7 Powerful Strategies For Staying Positive

2012-04-03T00:24:00.003+08:00

There is so much going on in the world today that can throw anybody off their center. Being able to keep your attention on accomplishing goals, feeling in control of your life, your emotions, your future, is one of the greatest challenges we face. To get your hands back on the steering wheel, you are going to need some planned out program to help you stay on your game. And for those who are embarking on adopting a more positive attitude, here are some tried and true strategies for achieving your goal.
1) Divert your thoughts. Find something humorous, passionate, or interesting and absorbing to think about. When confronted with negative feelings or situations, taking a breather from that reality is the fastest way to convert the vibes around you. Thought is creative, so whatever our thoughts are focused on is attracted to us. Go play with your dog, see a funny movie. Treat yourself to something nice. Listen to music that moves you. Changing what we're doing, changes what we're thinking about, changes the energy around us.
2) Educate yourself. Take classes. Go listen to people who are productive and positive. Being in the energy of a motivating force, often can be just the catalyst necessary to shift our energy.
3) Cleanse the mind and body. There are several ways to accomplish this. Our body and minds are interconnected. What effects one, has impact on the other. If the body is unhealthy, the mind will surely suffer, as the body is the environment it creates from. If the mind is unhealthy, it's negativity can pollute the body with the different substances it secretes into the bloodstream. There are many cures for working with our negative thoughts and many books written on the subject. I believe in the power of forgiveness as the most comprehensive approach to cleansing negative thinking. The Ancient Hawaiian Therapy, Ho'oponopono, is one of the easiest practices I've come across. It involves a bit of study to understand the philosophy. Then simple statements are said daily which, when used in negative situations, have the power to cleanse. As for the body, a complete nutritional cleanse is the way to support the body while allowing it to detox. With the right products and guidance, this program can change the inner chemistry of the body as well as assist in reducing the acidity in the system, bringing the body to a greater level of alkalization. An alkalized body, is a happy body.
4) Use a Ritual everyday. This reminds you to stay on course. Whether it's reading from an inspirational book, meditating, or stating affirmations constant repetition is the way we learn and can retrain our thoughts. Upon waking you can sit quietly and just imagine your day as you would like it. Forgetting about reality as you know it, and just being in the creative thought process of paving the way of your day. This technique is known as Pre-Paving. Never underestimate the power of imagination!
5) Stay away from negative people and situations. While this sometimes can't be avoided, when you are in those environments, relying on some of the other tips to stay positive come into play. If you're concerned about losing your current friends, the good news is that once you have secured a habit of thinking positive, that will become your point of attraction. Simply put, that means that the energy around you will be attracting similar vibrations. It's kind of like a tuning fork. Once you send out its frequency, corresponding frequencies magnetize to it. You might meet new people who are like lost friends, or will surely feel that way. Things will start to change around you for the better. It's sure!
6) Get into a good plan of eating. Food is the most powerful drug you put in your body. The effects of poor eating do more than just increase your waistline. Food can literally change the bodies chemistry to such an extent that it can sour you from within. Aside from all the harmful effects on the physical body, the mental outlook is severely compromised. Think about some of the side effects of foods you eat or drinks you consume. Remember the awful feeling you had inside as a result? That feeling contributes to so many problems for the brain to function in a healthy manner. Giving the body a weekly cleanse day is an excellent way to release impurities lodged in the system. Studies show that toxins can remain in the body for years. Cleansing is like giving your body/mind an oil change. You'll feel renewed!
7) Exercise. Get your body moving. Be outside where you can be in touch with nature. A natural environment has a subliminal impact as well as an obvious one of centering the spirit. When you exercise, the hormones secreted promote healthy brain function.
There is one thing you can do that takes almost no effort on your part, but will bring about an immediate improved outlook. SMILE. A smile produces endorphins that are feel good juices running through the body. Set up a plan for to keep your Spirits UP. It may take a moment to get the routine to sink in, but once it does, you're gonna be a powerful magnet to all good things.

The Pros and Cons of Hip Replacements

2012-04-03T00:22:00.003+08:00

Following on from last week's letter about the best ways to prevent and treat the pain and symptoms of arthritis, I've received a number of emails from people worried about the effectiveness and problems connected with hip replacement surgery.
So, let's start with the facts: There are approximately 65,000 hip operations in the U.K. every year, all of which carry certain risks.
In the past, it was difficult for those under 60 to receive a new hip as the lifespan of the replacement was only 10 to 15 years which meant there was the probability of replacements in the future.
Thankfully, new techniques and materials can now provide a lifelong expectancy for the new hip. Added to that there are also many new preventative treatments used to reduce the risks of post-operative problems.
Blood clots and infections are the most common post-operative problems. These are normally treatable, but you should discuss all the potential problems that could arise with your surgeon.
You should be aware that:
According to NHS Direct, post operative infections can be as high as 10%.
2. A recent study in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery found that blood clotting statistics after hip and knee replacement surgery were as follows:
O.25% suffered pulmonary embolism (obstruction of an artery by a clot of blood or an air bubble).
O.4% suffered painful symptoms of deep vein thrombosis
5.2 % suffered painless symptoms of deep vein thrombosis
*Also you must remember that all forms of hip replacement usually require a period of 18 to 24 months for the new hip to fully knit and this usually causes varying degrees of pain and discomfort during that time
TYPES OF HIP REPLACEMENT:

Plastic socket and metal ball - this method is now becoming out dated because the plastic wears away over the years, leading to further replacements every 10 to 15 years.
Metal on metal - The ball and socket are made from cobalt chrome and all the evidence shows that there is no significant wear and tear over time. Therefore, the new hip should last a lifetime. Some people have expressed fears about cobalt/chrome ions being released into the body, but as yet there is no evidence to support that.
Ceramic on ceramic (aluminum oxide) - again, this will last a lifetime and has even less wear and tear than metal and has a minuscule risk of shattering. However, some experts believe that this is the best material for younger, more active patients.
Hip resurfacing - Lasts for life, with no drilling into the femur required and it preserves the healthy bone. The new section is made from carbon hardened steel. Steve Backley, the Olympic javelin champion, had this procedure in 2005 and stated that it has allowed him to return to full and normal pain-free mobility.
Magnetic Hip - A revolutionary new technique containing a magnet that helps the prosthetic last three times as long. It's currently undergoing laboratory testing and should start clinical trials on NHS patients within three years.

Once again, it is vitally important that you speak to your surgeon about all the options available.
If you are not completely satisfied with your surgeon's answers, then either insist on an official NHS printed list of possible risks, or utilise your right to ask for a second opinion.
Never forget you're the patient, its your body, its your life - don't be afraid to ask!
Obviously, as I've been saying all along, it's up to you to take care of your own health, especially your joints. This is vitally important if you want to ensure good health and mobility well into old.
For those of you that already feel the early onset of any arthritic hip problems, you must consult your doctor immediately and be proactive in treating the pain and dealing with lost tissue and grinding joints.
If you are middle aged , and especially if you have suffered from any sporting injuries or endured an arduous working life, you really must consider taking action now to stave off any joint problems, especially with your hips.
TOP TIPS FOR HIPS:

Weight loss - I know its obvious, but relieving the stress on the joints is vital to retaining healthy tissue around the joint.
Water exercise - The buoyancy of the water allows for comfortable movement and gentle exercise for the hip area.
Hydrotherapy - A good physiotherapist can suggest a regime of warm water therapy that will alleviate pain and stress on the joint.
Strengthening exercises - Again a good physiotherapist can help you to build up the muscles around the affected joint. This will help you with your posture and mobility.
Artrosilium - Once again I would refer you to the all natural product Artrosilium that I mentioned here last week- its proven to help relieve the pain and even help rebuild lost tissue (and with no side effects!)
I would recommend the regular application of Artrosilium combined with a daily dose of Arthritis Power Formula.

Together they provide a potent arthritis busting team that is completely natural and safe to take.
Remember that arthritis is a particularly cruel condition and can hit anybody at anytime, irrespective of your past physical history - arthritis does not discriminate!!!

Back Pain Not Helped by MRI Scanning

2012-04-03T00:21:00.003+08:00

BBC Health carries an article about a review of six trials covering 1800 patients which concluded that MRI scanning does not help in the management of normal low back pain and should be reserved for specific conditions such as nerve root lesions, infections and tumours. The outcome of low back pain is not improved by the use of scans and there were no differences between the two groups, one group with typical management and the other having an MRI scan at some stage. This was the same for the early outcomes and for up to a year after the onset of acute low back pain.
Patient expectations are a very strong driver of imaging for low back pain, either x-rays or magnetic resonance imaging, and many patients ask their doctors and surgeons for this, thinking it will indicate what is wrong with their backs. Scanning is something you can do but studies indicate that MRI rarely shows up an important finding in a person's back which was not already suspected. Communicating with the patients about the treatment plan and answering their questions is harder.
The numbers of magnetic resonance imaging scans has been steadily increasing, perhaps because it is a relatively easy thing to request rather than taking the time to answer awkward questions and correct the misconceptions of the patient. We explain the findings and their meaning poorly in many ways and the scan findings throw up many questions which are difficult to answer. Patient expectations should be addressed.
The history and examination of the patient should point clearly towards whether the problem is mechanical low back pain or whether there is a worrying element to the presentation. Scanning should only be requested if there is a significant positive reason for doing so, rather than just a lack of imagination or an inability to manage the patient's condition.
Patient education is a vital part of the management of back pain, explaining the reasons for pain, the reasons for not ordering a scan and the treatment path to follow, with a trial of manual therapy, acupuncture and a structured programme of exercise. A pain management programme may be necessary to address all the aspects of having long term and chronically disabling pain.
Reassurance is not an effective way of dealing with patients' health anxiety and MRI scanning has been shown to be ineffective in accomplishing this goal. Abnormal findings are found in the spines of people without pain symptoms so it is difficult to decide which changes are relevant to the presenting symptoms and which are just incidental. It is vital to avoid creating unhelpful attitudes and images in the patients' minds about what is occurring inside the spine. Sufficient time and communication skills are necessary to achieve a good understanding.
Explanations to patients are fraught with difficulties and many fall into what I call concepts without explanation, where the explanation is given to the patient with little or no care or checking as to what they take away from it. If we give them a concept to think about we have a responsibility to help them understand and fit it in to their attitudes and beliefs about their back pain in a realistic way. If we get this wrong by being careless with our communication this can have important and negative consequences.
When we refer a patient for an MRI scan we should give careful counselling as to the limits of the imaging or we will store up disappointment for later. The scan should be small part of the overall strategy for managing the pain and a surgical opinion should be available for explanation, interpretation and a decision on operative management. Patient expectations need to be carefully managed as to what the scan might show and how the findings might be handled or when the negative results come in there will be frustration and disappointment.
Low back pain management is complicated and need time and good communication skills in the health professionals managing these types of condition and many other pain conditions. MRI scanning can be very useful in identifying disc prolapses, degenerate discs and infection or tumour. For mechanical low back pain it has a very limited role.

Find Some Back Pain Relief With Electronic Acupuncture

2012-04-03T00:18:00.001+08:00

Back pain is one of the leading complaints people bring to the doctor. You could have simply strained your muscles working in the yard or sprained your back with the latest football game. But accidents and degenerative diseases also can cause back pain. While over the counter and prescription medications may help, you can find additional back pain relief with electronic acupuncture.
Defining Electronic Acupuncture
Acupuncture is now a proven complementary remedy for a variety of health problems. This practise is based on the ancient Chinese medicine and the belief that the body is divided into multiple pathways that channel energy throughout it. When you get sick or feel pain, one or more of these pathways become blocked, preventing energy from flowing freely. Unless you can clear the energy blockage, you may end up suffering longer than necessary with your pain or illness.
Acupuncture practiced today using traditional Chinese medicine involves the use of tiny stainless steel needles placed all over the body in key spots called acupoints. However, acupuncture sessions can be expensive over time plus some people feel squeamish about all those needles. With an electronic acupuncture device though, you can achieve similar results, particularly for back pain. Using a wand to deliver electromagnetic impulses, you can self-administer treatment simply by touching key back pain acupoints mapped out on your left hand, wrist and palm.
When you experience pain, body tissues in the area may become swollen or tender to the touch, pressing into one of the energy pathways, creating a blockage. Because the human body is made up of mostly water, it is vulnerable to electromagnetism. When the electric impulses are delivered to the body through the electronic acupuncture device, they travel through the connective tissues by way of these energy pathways throughout the body. The blockage breaks up and restores proper energy flow, and therefore the restorative healing properties.
Why Back Pain Relief Can Happen
When you are suffering with back pain, particularly if due to a pulled muscle or bruising, the area requires blood, richly oxygenated, for faster healing. Unfortunately, the pain and inflammation in the back area can prevent this from happening. By delivering the electromagnetic waves through the wand of an electronic acupuncture device, you can touch specific pain relief acupoints that correspond with your back. This helps release the constriction of the blood vessels around the injured area so that blood can flow more freely, delivering the healing oxygen it needs. The toxic substances your body produces in response to the back injury are also flushed away with the opening of blocked energy pathways.
This electric magnetic wave therapy also causes your body to produce endorphins which flow through the blood stream to help alleviate pain. Invest in an electronic acupuncture device so that you can complement traditional medicine with your own. By turning to this type of acupuncture at the start of your back pain, you can hasten healing and get back to your old routine faster.

Astrocytoma Brain Cancer Tumors

2012-04-02T08:35:00.004+08:00

Astrocytoma brain cancer tumors are considered to be the most common type of Glioma. These tumors may develop in various regions of the brain, as well as the spinal cord. These particular type of brain cancer tumors initiate from cells that are called astrocytes. The area of the brain that these are most commonly identified is the main region. This is commonly referred to as the cerebrum.
It has been established that these have the capability of affecting any individual, at any time in their life. While there have been cases of Astrocytoma a brain cancer tumor in children, this condition is most often diagnosed among those that are part of the adult population. When children are diagnosed with these tumors, they are most commonly located in the base region of the brain rather than the main region of the brain.
Common Symptoms
There are many common symptoms that are often experienced when an individual has an Astrocytoma brain cancer tumor. The symptoms that are experienced often correlate with the pressure against the brain and skull regions as a result of the size of the tumor. It is common for an individual to exhibit behavior changes.
The person may exhibit a personality that is much different than their own, they may seem to change from one mood to another in a fast-paced and mysterious manner, and they may exhibit marked signs of irritability.
Individuals that have this type of tumor with their brain cancer will often experience headaches and pain in the neck region. Gastrointestinal complications such as vomiting are also one of the most common symptoms associated with the Astrocytoma brain cancer tumor.
Diagnosing the Astrocytoma Brain Tumor
Diagnosing the Astrocytoma brain tumor is a challenging task to many medical professionals. A full neurological examination is typically ordered if a patient is exhibiting certain symptoms. One of the main signs that a doctor will look for is any type of mental based dysfunction.
In some instances, a patient that is exhibiting new, unusually painful headaches and swelling may be further evaluated. In addition to these symptoms, those that experience seizures and signs of potential swelling such as vomiting will be referred to a neurologist for a full, in-depth medical examination.
There are many different tests that may be used to determine if an individual has an Astrocytoma brain cancer tumor. One of the main diagnostic tools used to scan the brain for this type of tumor is the MRI or the Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan.
Many neurologists will also use the CT or CAT scan, which stands for Computed Tomography. In diagnosing this type of brain cancer tumor, many doctors may utilize tests that help gauge the coordination, the hearing, and the vision in order to effectively rule out other medical conditions.
Treatment
There are several different methods used to treat an Astrocytoma brain cancer tumor. The first is usually surgery as the neurologist will want to remove as much of it as possible. Immediately following surgery, the patient may have to undergo chemotherapy and possibly even radiation therapy to ensure that all components of the tumor are successfully eliminated.
If you have this type of tumor, it is important to work closely with your doctor and follow the treatment regimen as closely as possible so that your symptoms are reduced and that as much of the tumor is eliminated as possible.

Alternative Treatments for Dealing With Fibromyalgia

2012-04-02T08:34:00.003+08:00

Anxiety and depression are hardly rare, especially these days. However, if these situations are accompanied by chronic pain throughout your body, if even a slight touch causes pain and discomfort and if you're having problems concentrating and remembering things, you may be suffering from fibromyalgia.
This is a condition that affects approximately 3% of the population, and the overwhelming majority of victims are women. There is no cure for this condition at present - mainly because medical researchers are not clear what it is - but there ways of providing chronic relief.
Other Symptoms
In addition to pain and mental confusion, patients with this condition may also experience:
- sleep difficulties
- irritable bowel syndrome or other LGI issues
- numbness or tingling
- low blood sugar levels
- difficulty urinating
- muscle spasms
- heart palpitations
For most people suffering from fibromyalgia, relief is the top priority, however.
What Causes It?
Unfortunately, medical researchers are not clear as to what causes fibromyalgia. Some believe it is nothing more that a psychological condition; a physical examination usually reveals nothing out of the ordinary. It has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis as well as lupus, both of which are inflammatory conditions.
Current theory suggests that it may be caused by a condition that makes the brain hypersensitive to pain signals, resulting in a much lower-than-normal pain threshold. Some individuals may be genetically predisposed as well; researchers have noticed that it runs in families. Another culprit is a dysfunction when it comes to the secretion of chemical neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin.
Fibromyalgia Pain Relief
Psychotherapy has been shown to be effective in some cases; patients who undergo this type of alternative pain relief therapy greatly benefit from an exercise program as well. Pharmaceutical treatments include: the use of anti-depressants, anti-seizure medication, dopamine replacements, tranquilizers and even opioid medications. However, any and all of these can produce unwanted side effects; the latter in particular has the potential to create dependency.
Alternative Pain Relief
Increasingly, non-pharmaceutical alternative pain relief methods are showing exceptional promise. New research demonstrates that the human body has an amazing ability to heal itself. Natural, non-chemical chronic pain relief can be stimulated through the use of massage (something that indigenous peoples have known for centuries) as well as the use of light and sound. One exciting development is the use of magnets. While magnetic energy does little on its own, when used in combination with these other elements, it has been demonstrated to provide fast and effective fibromyalgia pain relief in chronic sufferers.

Detailed Guidelines On Objective Tinnitus

2012-04-02T08:33:00.000+08:00

Tinnitus is classified into two types: subjective tinnitus and objective tinnitus. The former is a common type of tinnitus which is characterized by hearing ringing and hissing sounds unheard by other people. Objective tinnitus, on the other hand, is a rare type of tinnitus wherein the sounds produced can also be heard by others. For instance, the sounds can be heard by a doctor just by using a stethoscope. This is also more disturbing than the other type as it is accompanied by serious medical conditions like cardiovascular problems. This type of tinnitus occurs in 3% of all cases of tinnitus.
People suffering from objective tinnitus describe their condition as hearing rhythmic, low humming, thumping, or clicking noise synchronized with their breathing or heartbeat. Thus, it is also called the pulsatile tinnitus. Therefore, a person can acquire relief not only when the tinnitus sounds are eradicated but also when the medical condition accompanying it is treated.
Objective tinnitus may be caused by two things. First, the sudden alteration in the blood circulation in the arteries or veins surrounding the ears can cause the production of ear thumping tinnitus sounds. Second, the heightened or increased sensitivity to the noise caused by the blood circulation in the ears can make a person hear tinnitus sounds. There are few cases however when this condition is accompanied by aneurysm or other fatal or life-threatening conditions making it imperative for the patient to receive proper diagnosis as there are root causes that must be pinned down.
This condition is usually clinically diagnosed through checking the medical history of the patient to see history of cardiovascular conditions. It may also be necessary for the patient to undergo tests such as ultrasound, angiography, magnetic resonance scanning (MRI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and CT scan as these medical examinations and tests show blood flow and blood vessel images which can greatly help a doctor determine the root cause. Blood tests may also be done to see if the patient is suffering from anemia.
Relief against objective tinnitus depends mainly on the primary condition, which upon identification must receive immediate treatment. For example, if the cause of the condition is hypertension, it must be treated by taking medication that can lower the blood pressure, diet change, and lifestyle modification.
Patients with this type of tinnitus should avoid indulging in the following:
• High sodium diet
• Fat-rich diet
• Alcohol
• Beverages with caffeine
• Stress
• smoking
Atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of tinnitus and this is unfortunately caused by diet rich in cholesterol and fats. Therefore, it is important for tinnitus patients to get rid of them. High blood pressure, one of the common causes of tinnitus, is caused by an increased intake of salt since it can alter the fluid retention in the body. Caffeine can cause increased heart rate and blood pressure. The fluid balance in the body and in the ears can be caused by too much alcohol consumption. Stress can trigger the symptoms of tinnitus to strike. Fatigue and anxiety management is important to keeping the tinnitus symptoms at bay. You should not forget that cognitive-behavioral therapy, alternative remedies, and relaxation can also help a person acquire relief against objective tinnitus.
