<br />
Health statistics tell us that over 50 percent of all women will develop a vaginal yeast infection — also known as vaginal thrush — over the course of their lives. This annoying infection is caused by the Candida albicans yeast, a type of fungus that overgrows and causes infection in the moist, dark and airless environment of the vagina. It is characterized by a red, itchy and sore rash around the entrance to the vagina and vulva, irritation and often biting pain. Some women also have embarrassing discharge and odor, and experience pain during urination and intercourse.<br />
<br />
In many cases, however, new infections or aggravation of existing ones can be prevented by making some simple lifestyle choices:<br />
<br />
Don’t wear tight clothes<br />
Any clothing, such as tight jeans, synthetic leggings or tight-fitting underwear that reduces the air flow around the genital area, can create an environment that encourages Candida growth. Stick to natural materials that don’t cling or bind and avoid tight fitting synthetics at all times.<br />
<br />
Stay clean and perfume-free<br />

It’s important to wash the vaginal area every day, but take care not to use a soap or deodorants that irritate the skin. Although they may seem harmless, perfumed soaps and vaginal deodorants can alter the delicate balance of micro-organisms in your vagina that are thought to keep Candida albicans in check.<br />
<br />
Be careful with sanitary products<br />
Change your tampons or sanitary pads on a regular basis when you’re menstruating or if you wear pads the rest of the month because of vaginal discharge. Never use scented sanitary products, because they can alter the pH of your vaginal area and encourage yeast growth.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Stay dry<br />
Be sure to dry your vaginal area carefully after bathing or showering. Also, change out of wet swimwear and sweaty athletic clothes as quickly as possible to avoid creating an environment that encourages yeast.<br />
<br />
Be conscious when having sex<br />
If your partner has a yeast infection, you’ll obviously want to avoid having sex. (Yes, males can develop yeast infections on the penis). Although Candida is not classified as a sexually transmitted disease because plenty of celibate people also contract it; it can be passed from partner to partner.<br />
<br />
Alter your diet<br />
For a long-term, holistic approach to dealing with chronic yeast infections, it’s worth taking the time to do a natural Candida cleanse and then adjust your diet to only include Candida diet foods. This will make your body a less hospitable breeding ground for Candida.<br />
<br />
If you pay close attention to all these factors, it should be much easier to avoid vaginal thrush and live a more comfortable life.<br />

A 1-year-old boy living in New York City had a rapid increase in blood lead levels, and the likely source of the exposure was traced to a Cambodian amulet made from knotted string and metallic beads, according to researchers from the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the CDC.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Testing revealed that the beads contained 45 percent lead, the researchers reported in Jan. 28 issue of <em>Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The boy had worn the amulet — "something to protect him," his father said — since he was 3 months old, and had been seen putting it in his mouth.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"Healthcare providers and public health workers should consider traditional customs when seeking sources of lead exposure in Southeast Asian populations," the authors wrote.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Healthcare professionals should ask parents — particularly from Southeast Asian families — about the use of amulets, they added, noting that educational efforts about the risk of lead poisoning from jewelry are needed for immigrant families.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
An accompanying editorial note pointed out that the CDC recommends <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/health-center/lead-poisoning-exams-and-tests.aspx" style="color: #005cb7; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">blood lead testing</a> for internationally adopted and refugee children and that the New York City health department recommends testing all children with recent travel to foreign countries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Although the most common source of lead exposure in young children is <a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-home/toxins-chemicals/about-lead-based-paint.aspx" style="color: #005cb7; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">paint</a>, other sources have been increasingly identified.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
That is particularly true in immigrant communities because of the use of lead-containing products from their country of origin, such as spices, food, candy, cosmetics, health remedies, ceramics or pottery, and jewelry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
For the case of the 1-year-old boy, routine lead testing showed an elevated blood lead level of 10 micrograms/dL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
According to the National Institutes of Health lead concentrations in blood should be less than 10 micrograms/dL in children and less than 20 micrograms/dL in adults.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Because he lived in a household with a cousin who had had lead poisoning, he had also been tested at 6 months. His blood lead level was just 1 microgram/dL then.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
A risk assessor from the Environmental Protection Agency visited the home to look for potential sources of the lead exposure. The boy's father denied using any imported products, and the assessor failed to find any potential sources of exposure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Three months later, the boy's blood level doubled to 20 micrograms/dL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The boy's father again denied that the child wore jewelry or charms, but eventually admitted that the child had worn an amulet acquired at a Cambodian market since he was 3 months old.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
A second home inspection identified one area of paint with an elevated lead level, as well as imported spices and rice. Testing revealed that the food products did not have elevated lead content.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Within eight days of the amulet being removed from the home, the boy's blood lead level decreased to 14 micrograms/dL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
About five weeks later — after the lead paint was reported to be removed — the boy's blood lead level was 10 micrograms/dL, and five months after the amulet was removed, the level was down to 5 micrograms/dL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"Although other factors might have contributed to the child's overall lead burden," the researchers wrote, "the most likely source identified was the amulet, based on its high lead content, statements that the child had been observed mouthing it, and the rapid decrease in the child's blood lead level after its removal."</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Start with the first tip and then add one more idea each day to help improve your memory:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>1. Focus on what you're trying to remember. </strong>Take time to think about what you need to remember, whether it's a list of names, chores, or items to buy. Spending a few moments actively processing your thoughts can make it easier to recall what you need to remember in the future.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>2. Link your list. </strong>Try to remember several things or ideas at once by linking them together in your mind. If you want to memorize your grocery list, for instance, connect the items you need together </div>
<a name='more'></a>with a specific image or action in your head. Imagine you're in your laundry room holding a container of detergent, then walk into your kitchen to get some bread and milk, then move to the bathroom to replenish the toilet paper.<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>3. Personalize your list. </strong>Organize lists into short, manageable sections, and try to connect items to something that's easier for you to remember. Improve memory by linking lists of numbers, for example, to personally relevant dates like your birthday or interesting historical dates.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>4. Create a visual image. </strong>If you're trying to remember someone's name, visualize an object that will help remind you in the future. Think of summer for a woman named June or a cat for someone named Catherine.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>5. Create an acronym. </strong>Train your brain to remember items in a specific sequence by creating a word to represent the objects. Try using the first letter of each item on your shopping list to form a word. For instance, MOST can stand for milk, oranges, soap, toilet paper.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>6. Use all of your senses to help improve memory. </strong>Afraid you're going to forget your next hair appointment or dinner with a friend? Verbally list your appointments out loud and then think about the softness of your hair after a salon visit and the aroma of the food at your favorite restaurant to help solidify the dates in your mind.</div>

<strong>7. Write it down. </strong>Even if you don't actually use your list or a note to remind you of an appointment, simply writing the information down will help your brain retain it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>8. Create a rhyme. </strong>How did you learn the alphabet or the number of days in each month when you were little? You probably learned them with the help of a song or rhyme. Try doing the same thing with names, appointments, and lists.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>9. Make it manageable. </strong>Organize a long list into shorter lists that are easier to remember. Instead of trying to remember a dozen different items, create four mini-lists with only three things you need to remember from each.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong>10. Be positive. </strong>Don't doubt yourself — our brains can often do more than we realize. Regularly practice these tips to help improve memory, and you'll be amazed by how much more you can remember.</div>

Unemployment is high and retirement accounts have virtually disappeared for many folks in the wake of the current recession. Housing prices have plummeted, too. So it comes as no surprise that data just released by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts shows the total number of U.S. bankruptcies filed during the first three months of 2009 increased 34.5 percent over the same period in 2008. But what is surprising is a new Harvard study published in the August 2009 issue of The American Journal of Medicine which reveals financial woes starting hitting Americans even before the officially recognized economic downturn -- and the main culprit was illness and medical bills.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The results of the first-ever national random-sample survey of bankruptcy filers, conducted by researchers at Cambridge Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Harvard Law School and Ohio University, show that in 2007, 60% of all bankruptcies in the United States were driven by sickness and related medical bills. Moreover, the share of bankruptcies attributable to medical woes over the past few years has been on the upswing. <br />
<br />
The investigators surveyed a random national sample of 2,314 bankruptcy filers in 2007, studied their court records and then interviewed 1,032 of these financially strapped people. Bankruptcies were designated as "medical" based on the stated reasons a person had for filing, income loss due to sickness and the amount of their medical bills they owed. By relying on identical definitions in both 2001 and 2007, the researchers concluded that the share of bankruptcies caused by medical problems had soared by almost 50 percent during those years. In fact, the chances a bankruptcy had a medical cause were 2.38 fold higher in 2007 than in 2001.<br />
<br />
The results of the research revealed that a variety of circumstances pushed many middle-class Americans over the edge into bankruptcy, even when they had health insurance. For example, 92 percent of the medically bankrupt ended up in that financial state due to high medical bills. And countless families who had health insurance were under-insured, leaving them responsible for thousands of dollars in medical bills they couldn't pay. In fact, out-of-pocket medical charges averaged just under $18,000 for those who had private insurance and yet went bankrupt due to medical expenses. Uninsured patients were faced with $26,971 in out-of-pocket expenses.<br />
<br />
The study's authors point out that almost all insurance is linked to employment, so a medical illness can trigger both loss of a job and loss of health insurance coverage. Nationally, about a fourth of all companies cancel insurance coverage immediately when an employee suffers a disabling illness and another 25 percent cancel insurance within a year. Of course, losing a job due to the recession also usually means losing health insurance coverage.<br />
<br />
"The US health care financing system is broken, and not only for the poor and uninsured. Middle class families frequently collapse under the strain of a health care system that treats physical wounds, but often inflicts fiscal ones," researcher David U.Himmelstein, M.D., wrote in The American Journal of Medicine article.<br />
<br />
Despite the gloom and doom financial news related to medical illness, there is reason to take heart. Bottom line: a change of attitude and a healthier lifestyle can lead to less disease and fewer medical bills -- or no medical bills at all. In fact, an editorial previously published in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles represent the most common source of unnecessary death and disease among Americans. Bottom line: most disease is preventable by taking charge of the way you live and how you treat your own body, including what nutrients you put into it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, according to another study published in the June edition of The American Journal of Medicine, Americans are not following a healthy lifestyle, despite the fact it can save their money and their life. What's more, the research reveals that there's actually a decline in healthy living, especially among people of middle age.<br />
<br />
Investigators from the Department of Family Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston compared the results of two large studies of Americans conducted between the years of 1988 and 1994 and between 2001 and 2006. They found that during the intervening years, there was a substantial increase in the percentage of adults between the ages of 40 and 74 who decreased their physical activity level and also gained weight. The research subjects were drinking far more alcohol and eating fewer fruits and vegetables, too, as the years rolled by.<br />
<br />
Overall, the number of people practicing healthy lifestyle habits had slipped from 15 percent to only eight percent. And the researchers also found that even having cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or risk factors for those conditions didn't spur people to make healthy lifestyle choices.<br />
<br />
"The potential public health benefits from promoting a healthier lifestyle at all ages, and especially ages 40 and 74 years, are substantial. Regular physical activity and a prudent diet can reduce the risk of premature death and disability from a variety of conditions including coronary heart disease, and are strongly related to the incidence of obesity," study author Dana E. King, MD, MS, stated in the article. "In the US, medical costs due to physical inactivity and its consequences are estimated at $76 billion in 2000 dollars. Research indicates that individuals are capable of adopting healthy habits in middle age, and making an impact on cardiovascular risk."<br />
<br />
For those who want to make the effort, pursuing a healthy, natural, active lifestyle can reduce the risk of virtually all serious disease. As reported in Natural News(http://www.naturalnews.com/024315_h...), for instance, a previous Harvard study found that following a healthy lifestyle lowers the risk of coronary heart disease by 80 percent and the risk of diabetes by 90 percent. It may also prevent more than half of ischemic strokes.</div>

Several studies have found that even a heart attack or bout with cancer does not inspire patients to make the change to a healthy lifestyle. One might believe that being diagnosed with cancer or suffering a heart attack would inspire a patient to make changes. Unfortunately, the results of several studies expose the reality that patients are unwilling to take responsibility for their own health.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />A study published in the American Heart Journal evaluated over 1,200 men and women who were overweight and had suffered a heart attack. In the year following their heart attack participants of the study had lost a mere .2% of their body weight. It is well established in current scientific literature that obesity increases the risk of not only heart disease, but diabetes, stroke, cancer, sleep apnea, and many other serious health conditions as well. Despite experiencing a heart attack and facing an early death from unhealthy lifestyle choices, patients still refuse to make healthy lifestyle changes. The study published in the American Heart Journal is just one of several studies highlighting patients refusal to make lifestyle modifications in the face of serious lifestyle related illness.<br /><br />A study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology followed over 9,000 cancer survivors evaluating healthy lifestyle changes following treatment. After surviving one of the most feared diagnosis, cancer, most survivors made little or no changes in their lifestyle. Less than 20% of the cancer survivors were consuming the recommended 5 fruits and vegetables a day. Only 1 in 20 of the study participants were following all aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Research has shown certain healthy lifestyle habits reduce the risk of recurrence and improve overall health and quality of life. The compelling research on lifestyle factors that improve health has somehow failed to promote change in most patients. Many health experts blame medical doctors for failing to inform their patients of the health promoting actions they can take to improve their health.<br /><br />Researchers for the CDC interviewed 1,600 cancer survivors inquiring whether they had received guidance on lifestyle changes and dietary advice relating to the prevention of a recurrence. Only 1 in 3 cancer survivors stated that their physician offered information about diet. The majority of medical doctors fail to inform patients of the lifestyle related risk factors and preventative measures that can be taken. The weight of responsibility lies squarely on the shoulders of the patients themselves to seek out information about a healthy diet and lifestyle. Patients should take the responsibility for the lack of lifestyle modification following the diagnosis of serious disease. The dietary and lifestyle habits that reduce the risk of disease are well known and well publicized. Patients would not have to search very far to find the information they need to make informed lifestyle changes. These recent studies expose the reality that the majority of people are simply unwilling to take responsibility for their own health.<br /></div><script type="text/javascript">

These are three ultimate reasons for experiencing such catastrophic vulnerability where the patient has no answer or way but to visit an ENT practitioner immediately. The infection itself isn’t so dangerous but the amount of delicate tissue swelling inside the ear lobe troubles one a lot. When the swelling transforms in shape and size particularly inside the ear it works as a blockage of the ear not allowing the unwanted fluid to drain away easily through external features of the ear and thus becomes infection.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0.5em;">
If it isn’t treated immediately the complications of such act could result into temporary or sometimes even permanent hear loss of the ear of an individual. The natural sound of the environment undoubtedly obstructed and distinguished by other extra-terrestrial (Alien) sounds of the atmosphere entering inside the ear lobe. With certain infections of the ear the patients have reportedly complained of the continuous whistling inside the ear too.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The ear practitioner put liquid pressure from outside the ear to drain away or wash up the blockages as pressure is relieved therein and infection subsides nonetheless the fluid might keep building inside the ear lobe and again causes acute pain of the ear. In order not to let bacterial or viral infections to affect the soft and delicate tissue of the ear the doctor diagnose the ear and prescribes antibiotics to have complete control over the contingency.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0.5em;">
More advanced treatment for ear infection is to introduce and necessitate a ‘Myringotomy’ which is called as minor surgery of the ear lobe and in which a tiny tube is inserted deep inside the structure of the inner ear and reaches up to the eardrum. This tube isn’t permanent by nature and it automatically falls itself.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0.5em;">
A particular prevention of ear infection is simple. A nasal spray is sprayed around the infected region that flushes out foreign particle pollutants and other environmental bacteria from inside the ear and allergens are washed out too. The spray naturally repels away the bacteria before it chances to settle into the delicate inner tissue of the ear lobe.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Recent studies indicates that ‘Xylitol enriched Chewing Gum’ prevents the bacteria to jump onto the nasal passage in order to get washed away easily while bathing. The other form of <b>symptom for ear infection</b> is excessive fever and dizziness feeling all around the day. As soon as there is a clouded blockage rush immediately to a practitioner and consult him for a specific advice.</div>

Can penis extenders really benefit men? Using penis extenders enlarge the penis naturally over time. It is a recognized method of enlarging the penis.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
A penis extender is inserted into the penis to stretch it for several hours every day. This device has fared well in a number of scientific tests. Penis extenders can also be used along with other penile enlargement methods like enhancement pills and exercises.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Stretching Can Increase Penile Size<br />
<br />
Penis extenders are designed to constantly stretch the penis for long hours.<br />
<br />
This causes the breakdown of penile tissues. The body would then regenerate larger tissues that are more resistant to force. Stretching also increases the blood flow into the penis. As a result, the penis achieves maximum erection.<br />
<br />
Since this method brings about cellular regeneration, the result is permanent. Penile tissues end up being larger to adapt to the constant stress applied by the device. Penis enlargers work like the string of necklaces used by Burmese women long ago, which lengthened their neck. Although stretching body parts brings permanent results, it could only be effective if used continuously in the long run.<br />
<br />
Clinical Tests on Penis Extenders<br />
<br />
A study published on the British Journal of Urology looked into the effectiveness of penis extenders. Men who used the device gained as much as 32% in penis size or 0.9 inch in natural state. Men may need to wait for 6 months to see the results. Nevertheless, the results are impressive.<br />
<br />
A separate study conducted in 2002 by the International Journal of Impotence Research showed that the percentage of penile size increase was relative to how long a penis extender was used. Thus, the longer a penis extender is worn, the larger the penis would grow.<br />

Today cauterization is considered a normal procedure and is still done in hospitals. With the exception that doctors utilize more contemporary tools. But the steps haven’t changed. Burn the wound to close it.</div>

Dermatological surgery particularly has undergone some refinements to match up with today’s standard of medicine. But you can say it all began with an Indian surgeon named Susruta. Susruta in 600 BC received credit with the invention of pedicle flaps or a mass of tissue used for grafting. Most of the time pedicle flaps are skin tissues. Sursuta was able to separate the dermis without losing its blood supply.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
His invention did not come easy though as he had to experiment a lot to get it right. Once he succeeded, he outlined the steps of the process. Soon the amazing discovery made its way out of India into Europe then eventually the United States. Today the process has expanded into other areas of skin surgery.</div>

Cosmetics are not only used for physical appearances but also for improving and preserving health. Shaving was done back in primitive days to remove body hair that prevents perspiration from coming out. This also kept skin bacteria at bay. Fragrances became a symbol of the rich Egyptians to hide unpleasant body odor. This eventually led to the invention of deodorant, mouthwash, and skin lotions.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
From mere aesthetic uses cosmetics were developed into more functional medical uses. For example, mouthwashes were created to deal with the medical condition ofbad breath or “halitosis”. Nasal sprays were used to clear the congestion usually caused by a cold in the nasal passages. Pain relieving lotions are used to alleviate pain felt outside the body.</div>

Acupuncture is the elaborate and complex method of curing physical and mental malady using pressure points found in the human body. It is a standard practice in China and usually comes with massages and various herbal treatments. It is also starting to gain popularity outside of Asia.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Acupuncture tools have been discovered dating to 6000 BC but were not proven to be authentic tools. A few historic literature also mentioned the practice but never elaborated on it. So the exact date it started is unknown.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But as we all know acupuncture began in China. It was revealed in a book entitled “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine.” According to this book Acupuncture has its roots in Taoism. The book also contains a century’s worth of the core tenets and methods of acupuncture.</div>

The first ever caesarean section was done by Abu al-Qasim al-Zahwari in 936 BC. A caesarean section is the deliverance of a baby by slicing open the mother’s belly. A normal baby is delivered through a woman’s birth canal. But in certain cases when that’s not possible, a caesarean is needed.</div>

Abu al-Qasim al-Zahwari then was considered to be the “father of surgery”. His influential book “Kitab al-Tasrif” was the standard text for European medicine for 500 years. He also invented over 200 surgical tools.</div>

The origin of caesarean sections though is somewhat debatable. As the Chinese and Romans have mentioned in their texts about an operation performed on dying pregnant mothers to save their babies.</div>

The origin of massage can be traced back to the Babylonians, Egyptians, Chinese and Indians who all had their own style of massage. But all these types of massages had something in common that they came from shamanic healing rituals.</div>

Once again the massage was empowered by the Romans when they added additional things like lotions, oils, and hot rocks. The result transcended the massage into something more than just a physical experience but a sensual one as well.</div>

A prosthetic is an artificial device extension that is used to replace a body part lost in an accident, disease, or birth defect.</div>

The history of prosthetics may have dated all the way back to ancient Egypt between 1000-600 BC. In 2007 scientists discovered a female mummy with a prosthetic toe. The toe was made of wood and leather. Further investigation revealed the site of the wound actually healed cleanly before the artificial toe was attached. Unfortunately, no other prosthetic was found near Egypt to fully support this theory.</div>

Without the contributions of these 10 traditional medical practices and the pioneers behind them, mankind’s reign on earth may have been a short one.

Another disgusting parasite that has been used by man for health reasons are maggots. These creatures have the ability to differentiate normal healthy flesh from decaying ones. So doctors use maggots to remove dying tissues in human wounds to prevent serious infections. Maggots clean the wounds and even leave behind an antibacterial shield against germs and bacteria.</div>

"There are two ways you can make an error as a man," study author Carin Perilloux, a psychologist at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., said in a journal news release. "Either you think, 'Oh, wow, that woman's really interested in me' -- and it turns out she's not. There's some cost to that," such as embarrassment.</div>

United States said Monday they have developed a vaccine that attacks tumors in mice, a breakthrough they hope will help fight breast, colon, ovarian and pancreatic cancer in humans.<br />
Although studies on mice often do not translate directly into remedies that work for human subjects, researchers are hopeful because of the strength of the vaccine and the particular approach it takes.<br />
"This vaccine elicits a very strong immune response," said study co-senior author Geert-Jan Boons, a professor of chemistry and a researcher in the University of Georgia Cancer Center.<br />
"It activates all three components of the immune system to reduce tumor size by an average of 80 percent."<br />
The vaccine works by training the immune system to attack tumors that have a protein known asMUC1 on the surface of their cells, according to the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
MUC1 is found on more than 70 percent of the most aggressive and lethal types of cancer, including most kinds of breast, pancreatic, ovarian and multiple myeloma.<br />
"This is the first time that a vaccine has been developed that trains the immune system to distinguish and kill cancer cells based on their different sugar structures on proteins such as MUC1," said study co-author Sandra Gendler, professor at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.<br />
The protein is also overexpressed in 90 percent of breast cancer patients with so-called "triple negative" tumors that do not respond to hormonal therapy such as Tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, or the drug Herceptin.<br /><script type="text/javascript">

"In the US alone, there are 35,000 patients diagnosed every year whose tumors are triple-negative," Boons said.<br />
"So we might have a therapy for a large group of patients for which there is currently no drug therapy aside from chemotherapy."<br />
A vaccine against MUC1 could be used in combination with chemotherapy, or as a preventive measure in patients at high risk for certain cancers.<br />
Boons, Gendler and colleagues are currently at work testing the vaccine on human cancer cells in the lab, and could begin phase I clinical trials to test the safety of the vaccine by late 2013.<br />

It's amazing the way people will spout off these fake statistics that men think about sex nearly constantly and so much more often than women do," lead author Terri Fisher, a professor of psychology, said in a university news release. "When a man hears a statement like that, he might think there's something wrong with him because he's not spending that much time thinking about sexuality, and when women hear about this, if they spend significant time thinking about sex they might think there's something wrong with them."</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The study also found that men spend more time than women thinking about other biological needs, such as food and sleep.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The study included 163 female and 120 male college students, aged 18 to 25, who recorded their thoughts about sex, sleeping and eating every day for a week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The frequency of thoughts about sex ranged widely between individual men and individual women -- between one and 388 thoughts per day among the men, and between one and 140 times a day among the women.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
"For women, that's a broader range than many people would have expected. And there were no women who reported zero thoughts per day. So women are also thinking about sexuality," Fisher said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The researchers also found that a person's comfort with sexuality was the best predictor of which people would have sex on the brain most often.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
"If you had to know one thing about a person to best predict how often they would be thinking about sex, you'd be better off knowing their emotional orientation toward sexuality, as opposed to knowing whether they were male or female," Fisher said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
"Frequency of thinking about sex is related to variables beyond one's biological sex," she added.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Fisher and her colleagues also found that men thought about food an average of nearly 18 times per day and sleep almost 11 times per day. Women thought about food an average of nearly 15 times per day and about sleep 8.5 times per day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
"Since we looked at those other types of need-related thoughts, we found that it appears that there's not just a sex difference with regard to thoughts about sex, but also with regard to thoughts about sleep and food," Fisher said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
"That's very significant. This suggests males might be having more of these thoughts than women are or they have an easier time identifying the thoughts. It's difficult to know, but what is clear is it's not uniquely sex that they're spending more time thinking about, but other issues related to their biological needs, as well."<script type="text/javascript">

In a recent survey published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, more than one in three women admitted to experiencing low sexual desire in the past month. Hello--that's more than 40 million of us! While men can pop Viagra (those lucky bastards), women can't quick-fix their lack of desire with a magic pill. For us, there's more to it than blood flow.<br />
<br />
But there's good news: According to experts, once you ID the possible causes of your lukewarm libido, you can start homing in on a solution. "Take the time to assess yourself--not just physically but emotionally and mentally--and you'll be able to see what might be holding you back," says Patti Britton, Ph.D., a Los Angeles sexologist and author of The Art of Sex Coaching.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
To help you reconnect with your saucy side, we asked three women to share their struggles with low desire and then turned to top sex therapists for their analyses. This may not turn you into the woman who speeds home for a lunch-hour power romp, but the following insights and advice will help make you hungrier for lovin' than you may have been in a long time. And if you're looking for other sexy things to do don't miss WH's Annual Sex Toy Awards for saucy selects that will turn you on.<br />
<br />
Trust Is the Best Aphrodisiac<br />
<br />
Guys seem to have it pretty easy when it comes to sexual arousal: Man gets turned on. Penis takes over. Brain shuts down. Enjoyment ensues. For most women, it's more complex. To feel even the slightest bit of desire, our head has to be in the game. A 2003 study at Northwestern University found that even when women show the physical signs of sexual excitement below the belt, if they're not mentally turned on they won't feel a damn thing.<br />
<br />
Now, imagine you're busy trying to muster desire, but your brain--the main factor in the equation--won't stop analyzing, fretting, or planning. For Kim, 27, that kind of overall anxiety has left her with "zero sex drive." After working 12-hour days at an ad agency in Philadelphia, she comes home exhausted and way too preoccupied even to consider sex. "I'm always stressing about my job--I even have nightmares about it," she says. Work concerns aside, Kim describes herself in general as a very anxious person, a perfectionist who's always making to-do lists on paper and in her head.<br />
<br />
Though the flip advice might be to tell Kim that she just needs a hearty hump session (or a strong cocktail) to feel right as rain, we know it doesn't work that way. For Kim, sex is just one more thing to worry about. "I'll have sex because I know it's important to the relationship, but I never feel a desire for it," she says. Kim describes her boyfriend of the past year and a half as a sweet, supportive guy, understanding about the fact that she isn't exactly likely to swing from the chandelier. Besides, he leaves for work at 6 a.m. and often doesn't return home until midnight, after she's already asleep (they have sex two or three times a month). "The pressure to have sex, or the guilt over not wanting it, isn't there because, logistically, we can't really have it that often."<br />
<br />
When Kim's alone and it's time for a little self-lovin', on the other hand, it's a whole other ballgame. "I find that I'm more in the mood," she says. "I'm able to just clear my mind and get into it."<br />
<br />
According to experts, if a woman masturbates regularly, she doesn't actually have a low libido. So what's going on? Probably trust issues, says sex therapist Gina Ogden, Ph.D., author of The Return of Desire. "You're at your most vulnerable--body, mind, and heart--when you're naked with a man," she explains. "If you're afraid of that kind of intimacy, you're going to subconsciously avoid sex, and you certainly won't have a desire for it."<br />
<br />
For many, that fear of intimacy can stem from early sexual experiences. If they were filled with angst or with emotional or even physical pain, they can leave women with an underlying sense of 'I don't want to go through that again,' Ogden says.<br />

Kim's issues could be traced back to a high school boyfriend who couldn't keep it in his pants. "In the four years we were together, I always thought he was cheating. I remember feeling self-conscious about hooking up, like he was getting it better somewhere else," she says.<script type="text/javascript">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> First, you look for an Internet pharmacy that suits your needs. Then, you go undergo an online consultation with one of that pharmacy’s doctors, who will then decide if your condition warrants a prescription or not. If it’s a yes, then you can have that prescription filled through the same Internet pharmacy. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">There is, however, one disadvantage to this process as medical consultations rarely come for free. If you’re unlucky enough to choose an online pharmacy that overcharges for consultations with their physicians, be prepared to break the bank. On a side note, some types of insurance may not cover an online medical consultation, which means you’ll have to shell out extra bucks on top of your online drugstore purchase. </span><br />

Of course, you can always try to find an online pharmacy that offers free shipping; just don’t expect your search to be that easy or fruitful. If you really want to buy from the best online pharmacies, don’t hesitate to look around and compare costs. Your online drug shopping experience should be hassle-free and not cost you an arm and a leg.</span></div><script type="text/javascript">

But the fact is that apart from protecting you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs), condoms can also provide you the same sexual pleasure, in fact some condom types can provide more pleasure. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Today, we live in a society that is more sexually aware than a society a decade ago. But when it comes specifically to awareness about sexual health and contagious infections associated with sex, despite a pretty good understanding among people, the rates at which Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are soaring, it’s shocking. So a proper message has to be conveyed to the society regarding taking precautionary measures to control the spread of STDs such as genital warts. However, the positive thing that has come out of all this is overexposure of media to the society. This has helped people in a real way regarding the awareness about STDs and the dire risks associated with unprotected sex. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Risk of STDs in youngsters </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Unawareness of precautionary measures to avoid STDs/STIs in young generation is also one of the prime factors contributing to the upsurge of infection rates. Some of the common skin infections that can spread through unprotected sex are viral, bacterial protozoan, fungal or parasitic infections. Genital warts are one of the most common viral skin infections. It is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Genital warts appear as small and fleshy growths on the genital and anal areas in both men and women. Itching, pain, and inflammation are some of the symptoms associated with genital warts.

Dr. Samuel J Haryono, said, lifting breasts through surgery is not always the case. Many cases that occur when patients do not have to lose her breasts, especially for patients who are still in the early stadium.<br />

Some reconstruction is done by maintaining outside the breast and skin-called Skin Sparing Mastectomy or be defending the nipple and areola part of breast (nipple Sparing Mastectomy).<br />
<br />
If due to cancer was in advanced stage and the entire breast must be removed including the nipple and the areolanya, the patient's abdominal skin can be used as the breast skin. Web stomach may also be used to form the nipples.<br />

This is normally caused by a sudden change of the female organ’s normal pH count brought about by sex, use of douches, use of contraceptives like IUDs, and other foreign objects that is goes inside the vagina such as spermicidal creams and gels, tampons and even stray feces.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Antibiotics are also considered as a major cause. When you take antibiotics for a certain bacterial infection somewhere else in your body, they may also attack the good bacteria in your vagina that maintains a healthy environment.</div>

Other conditions that can influence the condition are the following: pregnancy, diabetes, eating too much sweets and sugary foods, hormonal changes during post-menopausal stage, oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy. Bacterial infections of the female organ may also be sexually transmitted.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
The most common vaginal infections are as follows:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
1. Yeast Infection – brought about by Candida albicans, a yeast organism. Just a onetime experience of this infection, you will forever remember its symptoms, which is a miserable itch and white curd-like discharge. It is advisable to seek medical help to get proper diagnosis when you first get infected. This is so you’ll be able to recognize the symptoms better if you happen to get infected again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
2. Bacterial Vaginosis – brought about by Gardnerella vaginalis, a bacterium. A thin discharge with the tinge of grey or green is the most common symptom. This infection can be a cause for concern because it has the possibility to extend to the uterus and fallopian tubes which may affect fertility and cause other complications.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
3. Trichomoniasis – brought about by a protozoan. If you have a yellowish discharge and experiencing a burning itch or sometimes, a burning sensation when you pee, you might be suffering from this vaginal infection.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
There are many brands of medications available today that are specifically created to cure vaginal infections. Nevertheless, before purchasing just about any cream or drug labeled for treating vaginal infection, especially over-the-counter ones, it is best to find out first what type of infection you have. The right diagnosis can lead you to the right treatment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
1. Over-the-Counter or Prescription Drugs</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Vaginal infections can be treated by drugs such as Clindamycin and Metronidazole in the form of oral antibiotics or antibacterial creams and gels. These drugs can effectively kill the bacteria or protozoa that causes the infection. Like any drug, these can cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, burning skin, itch and rashes. Antifungal creams are also used to relieve irritation on the affected area and destroy microorganisms that cause infection. Its common side effects are skin itch, burning and rashes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
2. Herbal Remedies</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
If you want to treat your infection with natural ingredients, there are several herbs that you can use. First is garlic, which is the best-known anti-fungal and anti-bacterial herb. When eaten, it has the ability to counteract vaginal infections regardless of the cause. Naturopathic doctors even say that a whole, peeled clove can be used as suppository. Pau d’ Arco, the bark from a South American tree is also known for fighting yeast infections. It is commonly processed into teas and other combination products.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Another ingredient that you might want to find in natural food-store products and herbal preparations is the Oregon Grapefruit. It is an herb loaded with berberine, which is one of the most effective anti-infection botanicals. It can be taken internally in tincture form or bought as ready-to-use suppository or cream in natural health stores. Tea tree oil, another antifungal ingredient can also be used against vaginal infections and itch. However, it is best to buy manufactured products with tea tree oil instead of applying pure essential oil on the affected area because of its potency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
If you experience a recurring vaginal infection, it is best to see your doctor or a natural health practitioner who can give you the right medicine and encourage you to start a dietary program or herbal tonic program. These programs can help strengthen your immune system against infections.</div>

The answer is heart disease. With all the junk food that is available nowadays heart disease has turned in to the biggest killer today. So how can we beat this serial killer and add a few more years to our lives you ask? The answer is simple. We just need to eat healthier and the risk or contracting any sort of heart problem is greatly reduced. In fact you can add about 15 years to your life by just changing a few things in your diet.<br /><br />The answer is really eating more raw foods and mostly vegetable foods. Raw vegetable foods contain zero cholestrol which is what causes heart disease in the first place.The reason people in the past sought to cook food so much is that it was often dirty and it would make us sick if we tried to consume it as it was. In African villages, people that do not have running water must go to the rivers and get it from there. Of course it is not clean so what do they do? They boil it first to kill the germs and then let it cool and then they will drink it. Nowadays the food we get from the stores is basically edible when we get it. We also wash the food at home so it is very safe for us to consume already. That means we are not taking any risks if we go raw with out diets, or at least replace some of our unhealthy eating habits with raw food.<br /><br />Some people might be asking what is the main difference between raw and cooked food? Well the thing is when food is being cooked, the temperatures get so high that most of the nutrients present in the food will be destroyed! That means that we are not getting in as many nutrients as we would be led to believe. Many diseases that are prevalent today come about because people do not get as many nutrients as they should from the food they are eating. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
When you eat raw clean food, you can rest assured that you will not miss out on any essential nutrients inside the food. Some people may also ask what the nutrients can do for them? Well the biggest thing is that they can easily prevent you from contracting any annoying niggling illnesses. Many people who have gone raw have not had any slight sign of the flu or cold in many years. Some even say it has been more than 15 years since they were last sick!<br />

With all the advances in science and medicine, people in the developing world now have a life expectancy which is very high. Sometimes it is over 80 years old and that is despite people eating all of this unhealthy food. How many more years can we add to this if we all went raw? Maybe another 15 years! Japan has so many people living to an old age, probably because they eat so much raw food such as sushi, that it is actually becoming a huge problem for them!<br />
<br />
Now going raw is a process and it is not going to happen overnight, but you have to take responsibility for your health. There are so many raw food recipes for beginners out there that you can try and they are very tasty. In fact you can save money and time because you do not have to stand around cooking food for so long. The many raw food recipes for beginners are easy to prepare and you will not regret as least incorporating a bit of raw food in your diet. There are also many other benefits you can get from raw food</div>

died after being exposed to asbestos while working at the town's steelworks has
been awarded £48,000 in compensation.</div>
Reg Grimshaw died last year, aged 88, from the lung disease mesothelioma.<br />
He spent his entire working life at the plant, which was run by a number of
companies over the years, including the nationalised British Steel
Corporation.<br />
Current owners Tata Steel said the claim was from a "historic exposure to a
risk".<br />

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer which affects the thin
membrane that lines the chest and abdomen. About 2,400 people are diagnosed with
the condition in the UK each year.<br />
According to Cancer Research UK, up to 80% of cases of malignant mesothelioma
are caused by exposure to asbestos fibres.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Mr Grimshaw, who worked at the plant from 1938 until his retirement in 1993,
is believed to have been exposed to the asbestos from the insulation lagging
used on the pipework in the factory.<br />
His daughter, Lynne Goodall, said: "He went from being fit virtually one
week, carrying out his daily activities as normally, to suddenly starting to
feel breathless.<br />
"After that he never drove again. He couldn't do any physical activity, to
the point of being bedridden by the sixth week."<br />
Tata Steel said: "Mr Grimshaw was exposed to asbestos on the Scunthorpe
steelworks when the site was run by British Steel and its predecessor companies.
<br />
"Asbestos-related claims arise from historic exposure to a risk which is now
properly understood and managed. Tata Steel has in place robust monitoring and
auditing procedures that are compliant with health and safety legislation. <br />
"Any claim involving asbestos exposure is assessed on an individual basis.
The settlement of this claim has been handled on behalf of Tata Steel by its
insurers.<br />
"Our deepest sympathies are with Mr Grimshaw's family for their loss."</div>

Dr Caetano Reis e Sousa, a Cancer Research UK immunology expert, said: "By showing that normal body cells can be reprogrammed to become a sub-type of dendritic cells with superior activity, this research builds on previous work by Cancer Research UK scientists using blood stem cells as starting material.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif;">Cancer of the large bowel, also known as colorectal cancer, is a common form of cancer in developed countries - but occurs much less frequently in the developing world.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Their conclusion, published in the British Medical Journal, is that increasing fibre intake, particularly cereal fibre and whole grains, helps prevent colorectal cancer.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Whole grains include foods such as whole grain breads, brown rice, cereals, oatmeal and porridge.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Dagfinn Aune, lead study author and research associate in the department of epidemiology and biostatistics at Imperial College London, said their analysis found a linear association between dietary fibre and colorectal cancer.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">"The more of this fibre you eat the better it is. Even moderate amounts have some effect."</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Adding three servings (90g per day) of whole grains to diets was linked to a 20% reduction in the risk of colorectal cancer, researchers said.</span></div>
<div style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Cancer Research UK data shows that the lifetime risk of being diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the UK is estimated to be one in 14 (6.9%) for men, and one in 19 for women (5.4%).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">However, the study said there was no evidence that fibre in fruit and vegetables played a part in reducing risk.</span></div>
<div style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">A previous study which showed a reduction in risk with high intake of fruit and vegetables suggests that compounds other than fibre in fruit and vegetables could account for this result, said the authors.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">They also said that the health benefits of increasing fibre and whole grains intake was not restricted to colorectal cancer.</span></div>
