Growing Pains and How to Resolve Them in Three Easy Steps

January 30th, 2010 admin

Growing pains are, well painful. They can keep a child awake at night and cause real disability while they last. Apart from giving your child pain killers, are there any effective alternatives, that are safe?

There are always countless ways of approaching any problem. It’s a question of how creative you are in your search.

Growing pains are limited to bones. As they occur in children who are obviously growing, you can probably see that what the child needs is support with bone growth.

Now you might think you are doing just that with the diet, with plenty of milk. After all milk is rich in calcium and the bones need calcium. Right?

Yes, in theory. No in practice.

Why?

Well, milk is a great food for baby cows. But is a lousy food for humans, and weaned humans at that. So, for all your efforts of providing dairy for healthy bone growth in your child, you’re way off the mark.

Green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds are the richest source of calcium, in a balanced form which a body can easily digest and utilise. True, they don’t have as much calcium as milk, but it is ALL in a form which your body can digest and use.

Whereas the calcium in milk is not readily available.

So it’s more important that the mineral is in an available form to be used by your body, than is the quantity in the food or supplement.

So to treat growing pains, it’s best to cut out dairy and increase the amount of green leafy vegetables your child eats. Add nuts and seeds into the mix, and that may be all that is needed for healthy bone growth.

But there is a third way to ensure healthy bone growth in children.

Growing pains are really easy to heal with homeopathy. There is a specific medicine called Calcarea phosphoricum (Calc phos for short) that is almost guaranteed to help every child with this malady.

It is available in most health stores as a tissue salt. But you can also purchase it from homeopaths and homeopathic pharmacies.

Prostate Infection Symptoms: How To Detect Them?

January 29th, 2010 admin

Symptoms are classified into two – visible and invisible. They are subjective because the latter classification cannot be easily seen by nurses, diagnosticians, and even to doctors. These are what the patients experience regarding illness, disease or injury. Some symptoms include pain, discomfort, fever, chills, cold, heat, vertigo, nausea, and many more. To aid the diagnostic phase, symptoms are very necessary. With prostate cancer, the sad thing is there are no early prostate infection symptoms. This type of cancer is known when it is severe already, thus, this is one of the major causes of deaths in men all over the world.

People oftentimes do a consultation when the disease is already intense. This is really a very negative practice. To ensure proper health condition, there should be a regular check up. One of the hot topics included in prostate cancer questions and answers is: What are the prostate infection symptoms? As observed by those prostate cancer patients these are what they experience:

  • the persons urinate frequently especially during night time
  • while urinating, there is difficulty in starting or stopping the urinary stream
  • weak or interrupted urinary stream
  • painful sensation during urination or ejaculation
  • blood in urine or semen

It must be noted that these are not symptoms of the cancer itself. These are only symptoms of the obstruction from the cancer growth within the prostate and surrounding tissues. Signs or symptoms of prostate cancer in men are palpable when prostate cancer cells has spread already. The symptoms then include: dull, incessant deep pain or stiffness in the pelvis, lower back, ribs or upper thighs; arthritic pain in the bones of those areas; loss of weight and appetite, fatigue, nausea, or vomiting.

    Prostate as in any other parts of the body must be taken care of. Genetics and diet greatly affect the prostate. Genetics run in the blood but diet can be adjusted or maintained. Good health is caused by eating the right kind and the right amount of food. Proper diet is the key to avoid if not reduce ailments or diseases. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) helps to detect prostate problems symptoms.

    If there are prostate cancer warning signs detected Gleason staging system must be the next aid. This system helps to identify the treatment. The higher the score, the higher is the stage too and the more complicated the treatment is. Gleason staging system has grades 1 to 5. Again, this is not the treatment itself. This is only a tool to know the stage of the prostate cancer and the possible treatment which can be given to the patient. If one is already diagnosed with prostate cancer, he has to undergo further tests like CT scans and bone scans.

    To dig deeper on prostate cancer, causes of prostate cancer are not known by the scientists yet but they have been able to identify some risk factors that are related with this type of cancer. The most common risk factor is the age. No man below 40 has been diagnosed by this cancer. Almost 70% of cases are diagnosed in men over 50 years old. As revealed in studies, race is another major risk factor. African American men have the most common cases of this cancer and it is least common in Asian and American Indian men.

    Even if there is already latest treatment on prostate cancer, still it is the best if a man does not have a prostate cancer at all. It is still worthwhile to live when you can do or accomplish tasks given to you because you do not have any sickness at all.

    Life Coach: Top Ten New Year Resolutions and How To Make Them Permanent

    January 27th, 2010 admin

    This is not yet another article to give you advice or tell you what to do. Most people have a difficult time telling a five year old what to do let alone someone who has lived with an unwanted behavior for 5, 10, 15 or more years. This is an article about the basics of how to get the job done.

    The mind is great at multitasking. This is why one can maintain several bad habits at once and this is why one can make several resolutions to replace those habits and accomplish them all. Before we get started with the top ten New Year Resolutions however one needs to understand some basic principals about the subconscious.

    From your very first breath everything you have seen, heard, smelled, tasted or felt is stored in the subconscious mind. The subconscious uses this information to determine how you emotionally respond to your world. This is what is referred to as your subconscious programming. If you do not know how the subconscious works and how to take control of it you will be subject to the subconscious running on its own and your life a random event. This is why there is an endless supply of advice givers because no one has taken the time to address the single most important question for goal setting, New Year Resolutions or just simply a change in behavior and that is “What determines a human behavior?” A New Year Resolution or setting a goal is all about fixing something that does not work. This brings up another question “Can you fix anything if you do not know how it works?” The answer to this is an emphatic no. It is the equivalent of banging on the top of your radio or TV when it goes on the blink and suddenly it starts working. You say to yourself…I guess I fixed it. Does it make any sense to guess when speaking in terms of the quality of your life and what you need for it to work?

    Once you have an answer to the question (What determines human behavior?) you will need information on how to act upon the answer but first let’s take a look at the top ten New Year Resolutions slightly revised by THE Burris Life Coach.

    1) Learn the Process of What Determines Human Behavior

    The resolution of changing any behavior always begins with a question and the question here is, “What determines human behavior?” If you cannot answer this question you are guessing how to accomplish your New Year Resolutions. Without learning the process of what determines a behavior it is unlikely you will be able to permanently change any behavior so this question needs to be number one on your list.

    2) Spend More Time with Family & Friends

    Love is your most powerful emotional state and spending more time with people you love assists in solidifying this emotional state. If you underhand how an emotional state comes about you can maintain this powerful state in the absence of family and friends.

    3) Health, Fitness and Weight Loss

    Fifty-five percent of adults in America are overweight so this has become a popular New Year Resolution. Evidence of this is the packed Health Clubs in January. Weight Loss is almost a 40 billion dollar a year industry. Every year it is a rehash of the same old things and people continue to buy them. At some point you need to ask yourself if you have control over your eating behavior. If the answer is no or not really then it is time to get control of what is controlling you.

    4) Quit Smoking

    Smoking is more than just a habit it is a physiological addiction. This is why you must attack this problem from two fronts. There are a number of different ways to immediately address the physiological part of the equation but the behavior must be addressed at the same time in order to permanently kill the habit. When the habit is not addressed along with the physiological side of the problem more harm than good can be done. This happens when you continue to smoke while wearing a patch or using other pharmaceuticals to kill the addiction.

    5) Enjoy Life More

    This seems like it would be so simple but if you do not understand how an emotional state comes about this is easy to say but very difficult to accomplish.

    6) Quit Drinking

    While many people use the New Year as an incentive to finally stop drinking, most are not equipped with the skills in taking control of their subconscious. If you do not run the subconscious the subconscious is going to run you.

    7) Get Out of Debt

    Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Out of control dept often means out of control emotionally. Over spending has a lot to do with trying to make yourself feel better. If you begin to understand how an emotional state comes about then you need not overspend to attempt to affect it.

    8) Learn Something New

    Challenge your mind in the coming year, and your horizons will expand. Especially if you are learning how the subconscious works and how to take control of it.

    9) Help Others

    This is a popular, non-selfish New Year resolution. This is an important resolution because our only real value is what we can do for other humans.

    10) Get Organized

    Organization is the key to permanently maintaining a long New Year Resolution List but where do you start. You start by taking control of what allowed you to become disorganized to begin with and that is of course the supreme ruler in your life, the subconscious. The new meaning of getting organized is getting control of the clutter in the subconscious first and then everything else will follow.

    The reason all New Year Resolutions gets down to the subconscious is because the subconscious runs approximately four times faster than you can speak and right now you have no idea what it is doing. The conscious and subconscious is like a rope tow with the vat of mud in the middle. The conscious is one person on one side against the subconscious which is four people on the other side. If consciously you say to yourself, I want to lose weight, quit smoking etc. it is usually a losing proposition because you are outnumbered with information. In other words if you do not understand how to take control of the subconscious you will almost always be out gunned by the subconscious.

    Until you learn how to recognize access and change your subconscious programming your New Year Resolutions will probably always be carried over to the next year. The question before you make a New Year Resolution is “Do I want control over my New Year Resolutions?” If the answer to this question is yes then the first step is to get control of your subconscious.

    'Old wives' Health Tips: Is There any Truth to Them?

    January 25th, 2010 admin

    Most of us have heard the saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, or that you should drink at least eight glasses of water a day. But how much truth is there to such old wives’ health tips?

    Growing up hearing certain sayings and tips resulted in many of us believing that they’re all true. But certain “common knowledge” health tips are actually relative to each individual, while others are not true at all. For example, many of us as teenagers heard that chocolate was a cause of acne. And, in fact, this “health tip” continues to circulate among both teenagers and adults today.

    However, the truth is that acne is not caused by any specific type of food, including chocolate. Acne is, in fact, beyond your biological control, as it’s linked to the levels of testosterone in your body. So, rather than foregoing chocolate to keep your skin clear, a more effective way to combat acne is to cleanse your skin regularly to clear bacteria, or to use specialized acne medications.

    Another common health tip is that you should drink eight glasses of water a day. While this is an estimate for the average person, the truth is that bodies differ when it comes to water intake requirements, and depend on various factors such as health, how active you are and where you live.

    You may ask yourself how much water should I drink every day and while there is no set rule as to how much water you should be drinking every day, there are a few ways to estimate what your own requirements are.

    One way is to use the “replacement approach”. Adults typically lose 1.5 litres of fluid a day through urination, as well as an additional litre through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food, however, usually provides around 20 per cent of one’s total fluid intake. That said, if the average person consumes 2 litres of water per day, along with a normal diet, they should technically replace their lost fluids.

    Another way to determine your water intake requirement is to take your weight in pounds and divide it by two. Whatever number you end up with is the number of ounces of water you should consume each day. Again, if you’re particularly active or live in a warmer region, your intake should technically increase for both estimation methods.

    Among the most popular health tips out there is that an apple a day keeps the doctor away – a tip that’s only partially true. Apples are full of vitamin C and polyphones, and they promote healthy teeth and gums. However, the obvious truth is that apples alone won’t keep you from getting ill. Instead, your body requires a balanced diet to stay healthy.

    Another health tip that’s only partially true is that carrots are good for eyesight. In fact, most people believe that carrots are the best food for maintaining and improving eyesight. However, while carrots are full of beta carotene and vitamin A – which are both good for vision – there are certainly foods that are even better for the eyes – such as spinach and other leafy greens.

    Last but not least, you’ve likely heard the saying that you can never be too safe when it comes to looking after your health. Again, this is a tip that’s only partially true. While it’s not healthy to be obsessive with health measures such as keeping germs away, you do want to safeguard your health in good measure. One example of this is securing health insurance. Health insurance is just one way to protect yourself in the event that something does goes wrong, but it certainly won’t inhibit you from living your life.

    So, next time you hear an old wives’ tale, take it with a grain of salt – then consider what’s right and best for you.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predict that this Disabling Disease will Double by 2050.

Another frightening statistic is that More than 5 million of the 24 million Americans who have diabetes don’t know it.

      

       Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With Type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood.

      

       Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.

      

       The symptoms can be some or all of the following; blurred vision; feelings of irritability; severe fatigue; unexpected weight loss; feelings of extreme hunger; an excessive thirst; a frequent desire to urinate, often during the night; irritation of the skin in the genital area and the slower than normal healing of superficial wounds.
