I am so frustrated with the condition of my health. Whenever I got colds or simple cough, it follows right away with a fever. And it happens every month! I am actually afraid why I am experiencing this. I am afraid to find out that I am truly sick or having a disease inside my body that I don’t know.
Since I lose weight, I am no longer gaining even I ate many foods already and sometimes I oversleep. I refuse to accept heavy obligations or responsibilities in school just to make sure not to give stress to my body.
Maybe, during the time I was loosing weight, my immunity has been damaged. Well, I admit, I’ve been through an unhealthy diet. Probably, my body went through a ketoacidosis. I have been also in a depression a year ago.
Right now, I am taking a Fern-C vitamins (ascorbic acid), hoping it could help my body system to get well. I have read the inspiring book Healing Anxiety and Depression just to Know everything about treatments for symptoms and how to cure diseases from Dr Daniel Amen. And I find it very helpful for me to recover.Find out more about Dr. Amen.
I am doing as well a research on How to Cure diseases.
“No, I just want to stay here. I don’t need to play. It’s okay if I never do,” he said.
Where for art thou? These individuals LOVE to be ALONE, and in any way possible, like keeping it that way. A lover dubbed by his classmates, he’s the one who doesn’t talk to a lot of people and sits out every activity in PE during those first years (as if teaching your classmates who did not know how to dance was hard enough). They’re the ones that avoid activities with others and prefer to be emotionally detached from everyone else. Persons with schizoid personality disorder are shy introverts and short-answered folks, in which their best defense mechanism is intellectualization - most notably, daydreaming.
“Hello, hello?” waving your hand up and down in front of their face, but still no reaction. They’re the ones who daydream during classes - some kind of compensation for the limited social interaction that they have (I guess they’re probably imagining they’re Harry Potter and “He that shall not be named” is coming soon.) 
We just had our briefing for safety rules and using safety equipment in our Analytical Chemistry class yesterday. We are all aware that as a medical laboratory science student, we will be dealing with various chemicals and equipments in our experiments. I am glad to know that the school has provided new Fire Resistant Safety Equipment and other safety supplies necessary to every laboratories.
As I enrolled to Clinical Laboratory Science course, I became more paranoid about bacterias. Sometimes we don’t realize our actions or lifestyle that we are very exposed to bacteria growth. Then, it’s the common reason why we often get sick. As a student, in our chemistry laboratory class, we tend to forget to follow the basic rules inside. Some students, or even me - I admit it! that we wear our lab gowns many times and not being washed. Unconsciously, it is exposed to our infective tables everyday as we perform our experiments. And after washing the glasswares - like test tubes, beakers, etc., we even use our lab gowns to wipe it dry. Not in our minds that some reagents or chemicals may contaminate in our gowns that we’re wearing. Read the rest of this entry…
A few years ago a friend confided that she made an appointment to have her eyes “worked on.” It was unfair, she complained, but there was nothing else she could do to keep her face looking young. So, just as her personal trainer had helped her sculpt her forty something body into one that many 20-years olds would envy, her cosmetic surgeons in Chicago would do the same for her face. I was stunned. I had never noticed any of the offending flaws, and I begin to think of her as a self-indulgent perfectionist. Now that a few years have passed and I’ve watched my own facial lines sprout and multiply, I’m beginning to understand her feeling of helplessness. While I still believe it’s our attitude about wrinkles that needs major surgery, I’ve often wondered if there’s something safe and simple to do to control the future of my face.
I noticed something different about my back tooth. I think it started two weeks ago that one of my teeth was cracked. I thought it is because on eating the wrong foods, such as sticky candy or popcorn. But in fact, the food may not be entirely responsible for the fracture. Sticky candy may accelerate the crack, but the tooth may have fractured because of its weakened condition. There are a number of reasons why a tooth may crack, including tooth decay, trauma or injury, a weakened tooth structure, grinding of the teeth or a stress fracture. Read the rest of this entry…
It’s been a year that I haven’t visit my dentist because I don’t have enough budget for it. In helping my teeth stay healthy, I do follow some basic tips of tooth care. But why do we have to visit on a dentist? The main reason for going to the dentist regularly, or in every 6 months, is prevention. We need to help prevent from tooth decay, gum disease, and other disorders that put the health of your teeth and mouth at risk. But we should know also the basic ways on how to take care of our teeth. We don’t just rely on a dentist to help us with mouth problems.
First, we should know what kind of foods we are eating. Eating sugar is a major cause of tooth decay. Keeping our teeth healthy is when or how we eat. What happens if we frequently eat sugary foods or drink sodas, the enamel that protects your teeth is constantly exposed to acids.
Second, we should brush our teeth two minutes twice a day. Use the right size and shape of our toothbrush to minimize damage to teeth and gums. Imagine how your teeth would look and feel if you did not brush them daily. Hahahaha…But brushing alone is not enough, because it won’t remove the plaque and particles of food between our teeth, under the gumline, or under braces. We’ll need to floss these spaces at least once a day. Be careful also of the toothpaste we are using, it must contain fluoride and ingredients that fight plaque and tartar. Fluoride helps keep teeth strong, especially in kids and teens.
And the best way to help your teeth healthy is to visit the dentist. But we all know that a single visit to the dentist can already cost at least two hundred dollars and if you do not have that kind of money in your pocket, you will not get the kind of dental care that you need. Getting discount dental plan can serve us, costumer, better because it provides significant savings on members’ dental care needs. DentalPlans.com can give you the best value of your hard earned money. And always remember the most important part of tooth care happens at home. Brushing and flossing properly, along with regular dental checkups, can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
A migraine headache is a form of vascular headache. Migraine headache is caused by a combination of vasodilatation (enlargement of blood vessels) and the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around the blood vessels. During a migraine attack, the temporal artery enlarges. (The temporal artery is an artery that lies on the outside of the skull just under the skin of the temple.) Enlargement of the temporal artery stretches the nerves that coil around the artery and causes the nerves to release chemicals. The chemicals cause inflammation, pain, and further enlargement of the artery. The increasing enlargement of the artery magnifies the pain.
Migraine attacks commonly activate the sympathetic nervous system in the body. The sympathetic nervous system is often thought of as the part of the nervous system that controls primitive responses to stress and pain, the so-called “fight or flight” response. The increased sympathetic nervous activity in the intestine causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Sympathetic activity also delays emptying of the stomach into the small intestine and thereby prevents oral medications from entering the intestine and being absorbed. The impaired absorption of oral medications is a common reason for the ineffectiveness of medications taken to treat migraine headaches. The increased sympathetic activity also decreases the circulation of blood, and this leads to pallor of the skin as well as cold hands and feet. The increased sympathetic activity also contributes to the sensitivity to light and sound sensitivity as well as blurred vision.
Migraine afflicts 28 million Americans, with females suffering more frequently (17%) than males (6%). Missed work and lost productivity from migraine create a significant public burden. Nevertheless, migraine still remains largely undertreated and underdiagnosed. Less than half the sufferers are diagnosed by their doctors.
People seek plastic surgery for a variety of reasons: improved self-esteem, change in a perceived flaw, or to reverse the effects of aging, pregnancy, or massive weight loss… While many things may affect results, it’s the experience, decision-making, and expertise of the surgeon that plays the biggest role in ensuring a favorable outcome…Choosing a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is an essential step to ensure the best training and credentials.Plastic surgery is a general term for operative manual and instrumental treatment which is performed for functional or cosmetic reasons. The word “plastic” derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mould or to shape; its use here is NOT connected with modern plastics. Cosmetic is the beauty the art of beautification.
Plastic surgery could be broken down into two fields. Reconstructive or Cosmetic surgery.
Reconstructive surgery, including microsurgery, focuses on undoing or masking the destructive effects of trauma, surgery or disease. Reconstructive surgery may include closing defects with flaps—that is, by moving tissue from other parts of the body.
Cosmetic (or aesthetic) surgery is most often performed in order to change features the patient finds unflattering. In many cases, however, there are medical reasons (for example, breast reduction when orthopedic problems are present).
Doctor Freund, is leading among the Washington DC cosmetic surgery doctors by New York magazine-candidly discusses all of the risks and rewards involved, different operating procedures and options, the right and wrong reasons to have surgery, choosing the right surgeon, pre- and postoperative care, and what to do if a procedure goes wrong in his book Cosmetic Breast Surgery.
Facelift is to tighten the skin and muscles of the neck, and eliminate jowls from around the mouth. The skin of a young person’s neck adheres to the tight underlying muscles, but with age the muscles become lax, and the skin becomes loose, leading to the appearance of a “turkey neck”.
To restore a young look to the whole face, a brow lift or eyelid surgery and facelift can be combined in the same procedure. This gives all the benefits of a more youthful appearance.
A common misconception about the facelift is that the procedure affects the whole face. The facelift should really be renamed a neck lift to more appropriately reflect what the procedure does. During a facelift, loose skin from the neck is removed and the underlying muscles are tightened. This restores definition to the neckline, and eliminates jowls from around the mouth in the process. The overall result is a young looking neck and face, with newly tightened skin and muscles.
Many artists nowadays are having facelifts to look younger. Does anyone hears about Los Angeles Facelift? One of my friends has been asking me to try facelifting because I looked so stressed and like an old lady at my young age. I hate her of telling that to me but anyway I think she’s right. But is it expensive?
