The different types of illnesses plaguing the
world today have been something that has caught everyone by surprise. The increasing rate of health
issues has made everyone standing on their feet, wondering how to resort to preventive measure to contain such illnesses from spreading like wildfire.
As an alternative, the use of herbal medicine has done wonders for various illnesses such as cancer and heart associated problems. This can be attributed to the fact that the substances and composition that all extracted herbs offer are found to negate and improve the body
components.
Weird as they may sound, taste or look, it is the healing effect that holds the truth towards a successful fight against
diseases and illnesses. It is not purely a matter of relying on your doctor for advice but also a matter of taking into consideration that herbal ...

I do not know if I have ever mentioned this before, but I do have a propensity for taking pills easily. That is, whenever I feel that something is wrong with me physically, I do not hesitate much when it comes to taking pills that will solve my problem. In fact, I have my proven medication for most any kind of minor health problem. Maalox for a bum stomach. Tylenol for a headache – or most any kind of ache, actually.
Recently, though, I have been hearing a lot of rumors about Tylenol being dangerous for you. Mass e-mails about the FDA saying that acetaminophen (the active ingredient of Tylenol) can damage your liver beyond repair have been flooding my Inbox(es) – yes, all of my e-mail accounts have been bombarded. Friends and colleagues, who ...
Botox is known to most everyone. Celebrities and the rich are always suspected of going to their doctor to get a shot to make them look better and younger. Whether or not these people actually do get Botox shots, the fact remains that this drug is usually associated with cosmetic applications.
But did you know that it can also be used to treat other conditions? I didn’t! I just read a story about how an Australian stroke victim was able to walk again because of Botox. Russell McPhee, 49, has been paralyzed for the past 23 years. He had a stroke that was so severe that his doctors told him that he would never be able to walk again. Or so they thought.
So how did this happen? Botox, or botulinum toxin, actually ...
Everyday, millions of people suffer from the dreaded
headache sending you to grab that pill you oh so love to take away the
pain. The fast paced lifestyle we all engage in doesn't help and the stresses of the day just keep piling up leaving us weak and fatigued. Readily available OTC drugs may offer relief but that may not be the best solution for the dreaded headache. Your
lifestyle may be the primary cause adding the stress you go through each and everyday, might be the culprit.
Men are less likely to suffer from chronic pain due to extreme activities than men due to the hormone testosterone which has been shown to help lessen the damage to muscles and tissue, thus leaving
women to suffer more. Statistically, women suffer an average of 15 episodes that can ...

You already probably know that many cases of back pain are not treatable. That is, even if you go to the doctor, some cases just cannot be “healed.” They normally go away on their own or you have to take pain killers till they go away. So what is the best medicine to take when your back is killing you? I personally take Tylenol most of the time. However, I read that taking too much of it can cause liver damage. Maybe it’s about time to look at other options?
An article from Spine Health provides insight on this matter:
Half of back pain sufferers reach for Advil or Aleve for relief, according to a poll conducted by Spine-health.com, a leading Web site for those with back problems.
Ibuprofen in general (Advil, Motrin and Nuprin combined) accounted for 39% of ...
Acutane is one of the most popular treatments used for acne problems. It used to be that acne problems were almost always associated with teenagers but today, even those in their 20s and 30s have problems with acne. In this society where a lot of value is placed on physical beauty, the proliferation of beauty treatments comes as no surprise.
Of course, constant research and studies come up with new discoveries – like this one about isotretinoin, the active ingredient in Acutane.
Based on a report from Reuters:
Use of isotretinoin, the active ingredient in the acne drug Accutane, apparently more than doubles the risk of depression, according to results of a study.
Still, the absolute risk is probably very small, the researchers emphasize.
The study is the first controlled investigation to find a statistically significant link between isotretinoin and depression, Dr. Anick Berard, ...
If you have been paying attention to the ads on many web sites and blogs today, you probably have noticed that many of them pertain to colon cleansing or colon irrigation. I certainly have seen a lot of them recently. This has prompted me to look this thing up and find out if it really has health benefits. After all, if many people are interested in it, it should count for something, right?
What is colon cleansing anyway? It is basically a process wherein your bowels are cleansed thoroughly by ingesting supplements that will loosen and remove build up in your colon. As a result, you would have to do number 2 a lot.
Proponents of colon cleansing believe that the process has a lot of health benefits. These range from removing toxins from the ...
Party people may be familiar with a nightclub drug called Special K. This drug is actually a horse tranquilizer also known as Ketamine. Researchers have published their findings in the Archives of General Psychiatry and claim that Special K could actually help treat people who suffer from depression.
How does the drug work?
Reuters reports:
Ketamine restores to normal the orbifrontal cortex, an area of the brain located above the eyes that is overactive in depressed people.
The area is believed to be responsible for feelings of guilt, dread, apprehension and physical reactions such as a racing heart, said Bill Deakin, who led the study.
"The study results have given us a completely novel way of treating depression and a new avenue of understanding depression," said Deakin, a neuroscientist at the University of Manchester.
I would say that this is heartening news, especially to ...
I have to admit I have a particular tendency to take pills anytime I am not feeling well. Don’t worry – it is nothing like an addiction, it’s just that I prefer to take the easy way out and ask the doctor for a prescription rather than suffer through an illness. Yet do you know that not all drugs are safe? I am sure you’ve heard of countless prescription drugs that have passed safety standards only to be shot down later on when adverse effects come out in patients.
MSN recently published an article on the deadliest drugs there are. And the winners are:
Talk about scary! Of the drugs in the list – I only have one to worry about – acetaminophen. Tylenol, my painkiller of choice, has this as the main active ingredient. I never ...
