However, the right remedy can make your episodes a little less painful. Your Doctor's Remedies If you see your doctor to deal with your gout, you may find that one treatment he will recommend for chronic gout problems is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Some of these include indomethacin, ketoprofen, oxaprozin, diclofenac, ibuprofen, etodolac, naproxen, and sulindac. These are widely considered to be, by most doctors, the best possible way to treat gout. In research trials, they seem to work as a remedy because they are able to block the...

The statistics are staggering! According the National Institute of Mental Health: "An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older - about one in four adults - suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. A report on mental illness prepared by Health Canada in 2002 stated that: "Twenty percent of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness during their lifetime." What is a DSM-III-R disorder? Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder or bi-polar disorders to name a few. But how many people even know what these illnesses look like? If they do, do they know what to do about it or what the best treatment option is? Often people ignore the...

Ubiquinol, the reduced form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), is a recent addition to the supplement offerings of several companies, and one which has generated as much confusion as it has excitement. As a supplement, ubiquinol is fairly new. As a critical part of human metabolism, our knowledge of ubiquinol dates back nearly as far as the discovery of CoQ10. While CoQ10 is often thought of as a "static" nutrient within the context of nutrition, it is actually one which dynamically interconverts between two useful states (the oxidized "ubiquinone", and the reduced "ubiquinol"). In this article, we will discuss ubiquinol as part of the CoQ10 "cycle", and how this cycle has important consequences in human...

The CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) of South Africa patented a native plant, growing wild in the Kalahari Desert, as an aid to weight loss programs. Hoodia Gordonii, as the plant is called, suppresses hunger. The San tribe, who live on the fringes of the Kalahari Desert, used it for thousands of years for that purpose. CSIR isolated a molecule, named P 57, as the active agent that created the feeling of fullness. P 57 initiates glucose and induces the nerve cells in the hypothalamus, the midbrain, to fire signals that give a feeling of fullness. P 57 is about 10,000 times as effective as glucose. CSIR struck an agreement with the British company Phytopharm to test, develop and...

You might disagree, but hear me out on this.... The so called hoodia diet patch is one product to avoid if you want to try hoodia, the amazing weight loss plant that is garnering a great deal of media attention for its ability to reduce the amount you eat and help you lose weight. Why do we not like the hoodia patch? For three simple reasons: 1. Most of the hoodia diet patch products we've seen claim their product will work more effectively than hoodia pills or capsules because it will enter your bloodstream quicker, bypassing your stomach and, therefore, give you faster and better results. The hoodia patch is supposed to work by placing it directly on your skin and then the hoodia will be time...

Proactol is a popular fat blocker. But does it really work? The internet is full of Proactol reviews, but very few of them are from actual Proactol users. Generally these revews are written by marketers. The lack of unbiased reviews can make it difficult to know who to believe. This review attempts to present an honest and factual account of whether Proactol works. The method of proof will be by using a clinical study carried out by a renowned University in order to discover whether Proactol really works. Proactol clinical study The way that people lose weight with Proactol is because it prevents a proportion of fat from eaten food from being absorbed. The clinical study attempted to find out...

The long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, found in the greatest abundance in fish and fish oil but also in some other foods as well, play a key role as components of cellular membranes. During the regular aging process, cell membranes become much more rigid. This can adversely effect the function of tissues throughout the body, including the brain. Perhaps the top asset to the brain of them all is DHA, the principal polyunsaturated fat in the central nervous system. DHA is appears to have a very directeffect on brain chemistry, development andfunctioning. DHA is essential for both kidsand adults, but DHA is as vital to a kid'sdiet as sitcoms are to prime time television. The topsource of omega...

Arm lymphedema, or chronic swelling of the arm, occurs in 10 to 30 percent of women following treatment for breast cancer. When the lymphatic drainage network in the arm has been disrupted by the surgical removal of armpit lymph nodes by the surgeon, or by radiation therapy to the armpit area (or, sometimes, following both types of treatment), the delicate network of lymphatic vessels that return excess tissue fluid back to the heart can become obstructed. This lymphatic obstruction can result in chronic swelling of the hand and arm. Patients with significant lymphedema of the arm following breast cancer treatment may experience considerable swelling (edema), heaviness, stiffness and discomfort of...

(Slightly more than 50 percent of Americans drink coffee on a daily basis, while another 30 percent of the population drinks coffee on an occasional basis.) Many health claims have been for coffee, although few have withstood the scrutiny of serious research. However, previous research studies have suggested that regular coffee...

Natural diet pills have become very popular in recent years. But which one is the best diet pill? After recent news of the latest prescription pill, Acomplia - also known as Rimonabant, being withdrawn from the market in Europe, due to its dangerous side effects, even more people have been turning to natural diet pills, as a safe alternative. But like anything that becomes popular, a lot of companies have jumped on the bandwagon. But they often offer cheap, ineffective alternatives. Unfortunately, diet pills are not one of those products where you can cut corners. If you're buying clothes, there's often a cheaper alternative that looks just as good. But if you use cheaper ingredients in a diet pill...

Even though great steps have been done in the knowledge and cure of cancers, prevention is still preferred rather than treating it. The conversion of normal cells to cancerous ones is an extended multi-step course of action that may take place for many years. The growth of cancer cells begin with instigation, which is an inherent change in the DNA molecule of cells. The body possesses a complex system in place to fix up the DNA that is damaged; therefore, the great majority of cells that were damaged do not develop to cancer. Chemoprevention is the utilization of usual or artificial compounds to interfere in the early phases of the tumor process in the effort to avoid the cells to become malignant...

The human immune system is a unique. It's purpose is to recognise the body's invasion of viral enemies and bacteria and destroy them. It can recognise viral strains which it has encountered before and beat them off, but if the viral strain has mutated - changed, even the smallest variance can trick it into thinking that it is a different species for which it has no defence, consequently we become ill and suffer. With the prediction that the swine flu pandemic is likely to return with a vengeance in the fall and winter months it is vital that we improve the immune system to withstand a sustained attack, particularly in small children and pregnant women. Those over 65 seem to have developed some...

True HGH doctors (human growth hormone doctors) are endocrinologists, also known as internal medicine specialists. These medical professionals have specialized in the study of endocrine glands in the body that produce hormones and other substances. The pituitary gland, which produces human growth hormone, is one of these glands. No one understands the function of the pituitary gland, the production of HGH, and the implications of abnormalities in growth hormone secretion better than an endocrinologist. HGH therapy is appropriate and recommended in specific situations. The most obvious of these is growth hormone deficiency, a condition most obvious in children who experience arrested growth. Adults...

Some scientists believe the Swine flu H1N1 virus could have been circulating in humans long before it reached La Gloria Mexico. H1N1 virus was known to have been in pigs on hog farms in California, and actually originated on a California-based pig farm, although the huge corporate farm in question was jointly owned by American and Mexican partners. The new H1N1 strain's genetic ancestry also has ties to a pig farm in North Carolina where in 1998; scientists discovered that pig, bird and human viruses had combined in pigs to form a new strain of swine flu. H1N1 virus strain in the United States has been used as the latest emotionally-charged platform in opposition to Mexican immigration. La Gloria's...

Quantitative research studies (e.g., surveys or medical trials) and qualitative research studies (e.g., interviews or focus groups) are powerful tools in the hands of a trained marketer. Both forms of research are valid, and both provide useful insight into a market space, when properly conducted and appropriately interpreted. Yet they are as different as oil and water. Some of the differences between these processes are obvious, even at first glance. Each approach has its unique methodologies, its inherent advantages, and its limitations. And neither approach works in all situations. Sometimes, marketers will begin their research with exploratory interviews, to uncover issues and develop theories...

Though it may be hard to believe, medical testing on animals taken from shelters is not illegal in some states. Many people do not realize when they drop off their pets, the fate that may await them. Although it is true that some states have taken measures to prevent this, often those same states still allow medical testing on animals that are specifically bred for this purpose. Although we may be used to the thought of rodents being experimented on with little regard to the inhumanity of this act, few people realize that it is often legal in their own states to perform medical testing on dogs, cats, rabbits and other species. Despite tremendous opposition by animal rights activists, it is not...

"body"> If you've been diagnosed with a chronic or life-threatening illness it's not unusual to routinely get lab work done to check numerous health indicators. If you thought waiting for the results from diagnostic tests were torture then you haven't waited by the phone or computer waiting for the latest results on your current status. The test results are not only the gauge of how the treatment is working, but for many it's the barometer of how they're feeling. Ever wonder how you would feel if you didn't know the test results? What would happen if you were feeling well and you were told that the numbers were good even if they weren't very good? Would you do anything differently? Would you feel...

hout the majority of the Western World the incidences of High Blood Pressure, Stroke and Cardiovascular problems are rising. The main culprit it would appear (according to experts) is the Western Diet. After much in depth research the conclusion that most Scientists and experts have agreed upon is that our great and glorious diet is actually a sleeping disaster waiting to happen. I think the expression is Living La Dolce Vita, Life at the full and too much of almost everything that we enjoy. Is this a rather depressing fact or not? It is not all bad news and if we examine most studies and read between the lines and take the findings and result carefully, we can find that we can do something about...

In the 2003 Journal of Nature, Howitz and Sinclair published a report that concluded that Resveratrol had significantly extended the life span of three tested organisms: the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, Caenohabditis elegans worm, and the Drosphila melanogaster (fruit fly). In 2006, this same study was successful carried out on a vertebrate, the Nothobranchius furzeri, a fish that was known throughout the science community as having a short-life span of approximately nine weeks; when compared with the controlled group of fishes, the fish that received the supplemented Resveratrol had demonstrated an improved learning intelligence and higher physical activity. By being administered a maximum dose...

There are two approved vaccines for the prevention of HPV infection with the two main cancer causing strains of the virus. Gardasil was first and was approved for use in women and girls ages 9-26. It is only effective if you are not already HPV infected. The trials of the vaccine on girls under age 12 was for immune response only so it is unknown if the vaccine will actually be effective in that age group. The actual clinical trails were conducted on women between ages 16 and 26. The drug was approved in June 2006 but the end points of the first phase 3 trials were not reported until May 2007! The vaccine has been shown to prevent cervical lesions but it is unknown if it will actually prevent...

It was interesting to read recent media reports in such prominent outlets as and the Wall Street Journal about the FDA's plans to set guidelines for the kinds of literature drug makers can use to support the off-label use of FDA-approved drugs. Originally, the FDA stipulated that drug manufacturers could disseminate information on unapproved, off-label uses of FDA-approved products, under Section 401 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act that expired on Sept. 30, 2006. It took a while but on Feb. 15, 2008, the agency announced new guidelines under the title "Good Reprint Practices." The whole idea is that while the FDA recognizes that off-label use is common, and indeed quite legal...

Both cluster and migraine headaches, when chronic and severe can be very difficult to treat. Cluster headaches are characterized by severe stabbing one sided headaches, with pain behind the eye. They usually occur either the same time every day or are seasonal and when the attacks happen they last a few minutes to and hour. Many people want to move around when they have cluster headaches. Migraines on the other hand, have throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head. Light and sound are painful and nausea and vomiting may happen. Migraineurs as a result, want to be lying down in a quiet room as movement makes the pain worse. So what do these two headaches have in common that may allow one...

People who have serious diseases are always holding out for hope that a cure will be found, or a new treatment will be discovered to prolong their life. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs it has been explained that the need for self-preservation is amongst the highest. People pray and hope that they will live long enough to see a scientific breakthrough that can fix their condition. Unfortunately, even if a scientific breakthrough is discovered, it will still have to go through FDA trials, and it doesn't mean that such a product, drugs, treatment, or cure will ever get to market. In other words, the disease might kill them, before the solution is introduced or available. This is a terrible thing to...

Finasteride was initially marketed to treat prostate conditions under the name Proscar in 5mg pills. It was known to inhibit the formation of DHT, a major contributor to both prostate cancer and male pattern hair loss. Subsequent research showed that a 1mg daily dose of the same drug was sufficient to control hair loss for 83% of men after two years of treatment. Since 1998 this version has been marketed under the brand name Propecia and it remains the only prescription drug approved by the FDA specifically to treat hair loss. This approval extends only to men's hair loss because of the dangers finasteride presents to unborn male fetuses. Women of child bearing age should therefore consult with...

It may sound simple, but if you have struggled with weight loss you know that it can be very difficult. That being said, let's explore some interesting new methods for weight reduction. Weight Reduction Surgery Though still somewhat risky, weight loss surgery has become increasingly popular in the last decade. There are two kinds of weight reduction surgeries currently in use today: restrictive and malabsorptive. Restrictive surgery reduces the size of the stomach either by removing part of it or closing part of it off. A smaller stomach means you feel full faster and eat less, thereby causing weight reduction. Malabsorptive surgery removes part of the small intestine and/or alters its relation to...

Since instant fat reduction holds great appeal, liposuction has become the most common cosmetic procedure performed worldwide. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the number of liposuction procedures performed increased by 386 percent from 1992 to 2000. More than 450,000 liposuction pro- cedures were performed in 2005. Interestingly, 21% of these procedures were ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL). The American public spend an estimated $2 billion for these operations. The basic technique involves inserting a narrow tube (cannula) under the skin through tiny incisions and manipulating the cannula to break up and suction out fat cells. The procedure injures other local...

A new skin rejuvenation treatment promises dramatic skin tightening and cellulite treatment with no downtime compared with other skin anti-aging care approaches. This recent innovation in laser skin treatments combines two radio frequency modes into one device, effectively delivers two treatments in one. The Accent Dual Mode RF System uses unipolar and bipolar radio frequency to tighten skin by focusing laser on both shallow and deep tissue depths. By using two radio frequencies - one that treats thinner skin, such as skin that lies just over bone, and one that penetrates deeper into dermal and sub-dermal tissues, the technology can be used to treat a wide range of aesthetic conditions.

cal trials for new mesothelioma treatments give hope for the discovery of a possible cure for the deadly cancer. Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of asbestos related cancer with a very high mortality rate, most victims die within 1-2 years after the diagnosis. The patients currently involved in mesothelioma clinical trials will hopefully lead to the discovery of better and more efficient ways of treating the disease. Consulting with a physician about various available clinical trials should be considered at the initial diagnosis. A clinical trial is a process that new treatment options and medications pass through before they are approved for use by the general population. Many patients with...

We’ve all had stress at one point in our life or another. There are some types of stress that are healthy and beneficial to life. Unfortunately, the majority of the stress we encounter in today’s world is destructive and may even help to shorten our lives.

If you can’t find a way of managing stress properly, it will help to kill you. There are several tools available nutritionally for stress management. Some...

Later than breast cancer has been made a diagnosis; tests are completed to discover if cancer cells have extended in the breast or to other parts of the body. The procedure employed to detect whether the cancer has extended in the breast or to other parts of the body is named staging. The report collected from the staging procedure settles on the stage of the disease. It is significant to be acquainted with the stage so as to plan treatment. Stage 1 illustrates invasive breast cancer (cancer cells are breaking through to or invading neighboring normal tissue) in which: - the tumor measures up to 2 centimeters, AND - no lymph nodes are involved Stage 1 cancers could be dealt with either breast...

onym HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, which is a highly precise medical procedure that targets tissue deep inside the body and destroys it using the power of ultrasound waves.

e myeloma (also known as MM, myeloma, plasma cell myeloma, or as Kahler's disease after Otto Kahler) is a type of cancer of plasma cells which are immune system cells in bone marrow that produce antibodies. Its prognosis, despite therapy, is generally poor, and treatment may involve chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. It is part of the broad group of diseases called hematological malignancies. Accordingly, in the USA 15,980 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2005. At present there are more than 50,000 people in the United States living with multiple myeloma. Causes of Myeloma Although the causes of myeloma are unknown, research is going on all the time into the possible causes of the...

Saw palmetto has been getting a lot of attention recently as a natural cure for hair loss. Is there any evidence that it works? While it is true that saw palmetto is a natural product and an herbal supplement; I think it's important to discuss the dangers behind what I call the "herbal mentality." It's easy to fall into the belief that plant extracts are "natural" and that substances that are plant-based are naturally healthier for us. However, many of our legal (and illegal) drugs are based on plant extracts! Although we tend to think of natural substances as being harmless and good for us, there are some dangers to consider-for example, if someone told you that "poppy seed extract" was a great...
