Always Consult Your Doctor Before Taking Iron Supplements

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

For example, if you have ulcers, intestinal disease or colitis, you may suffer more severe symptoms if you add iron into the mix without consulting your physician. Older folks may have a vitamin B12 deficiency which causes anemia, not a lack of iron. Are eggs and milk a regular part of your diet? These foods decrease your body’s ability to absorb iron. Do you consume coffee or tea on a daily basis? Taking an iron supplement within the hour, before or after, may wipe out the benefit of your iron supplement.
Other conditions which require strict supervision by your physician, before taking iron supplements, include kidney or liver disease, arthritis, heart disease, asthma and allergies.

Friday, August 1st, 2008

There is a little chance that Dynamiclear can kill all the herpes simplex virus Some viruses withdraw to the nerves and nearby tissues which makes it difficult to be eliminated. When an attack occurs the viruses accumulate at the top layer of the skin. At this junction, they strike the skin. Sometimes, a wound develops.

Facts About Alzheimers Dementia

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Alzheimers and dementia are not the same thing, but they are very closely related. Most distinction can be observed in the early stages. For instance, in the early stages of Lewy Body Dementia, signs of Alzheimers forgetfulness are not as prevalent as a suddenly diminished attention span, recurrent hallucinations and alarming bouts of lucidity followed by confusion. However, as the dementia progresses, it’s almost indistinguishable from Alzheimers Dementia. Alzheimers dementia is characterized by increasing and persistent forgetfulness. Alzheimers patients routinely forget names of loved ones, appointments, words to express themselves, or even entire events.

Should you get a second opinion before surgery?

Monday, July 7th, 2008

If you’re considering surgery you might want to get a second opinion. Getting a second opinion from another doctor is a good way to make sure the operation is the best option for you. You can ask your primary health care professional to refer you to another surgeon who will review your medical file.

If you consult another doctor, make sure to get your records from the first doctor so that your tests do not have to be repeated.

Many health insurance plans ask patients to get a second opinion before they have certain operations that are not for an emergency. Check with your insurance company to see if they will pay for a second opinion. If you are eligible for Medicare, they will pay for a second opinion.

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Be active in your health care to have quality care.

What If I Don’t Have This Operation? If you’ve asked your surgeon about the benefits and risks of the operation you might decide not to have it. Ask your surgeon what you will gain, or lose, by not having the operation right now. Could you be in more pain? Could your condition get worse? Could the problem go away?You might want to get a second opinion. Getting a second opinion from another doctor is a very good way to make sure that having the operation is the best choice for you.

Are Alternative treatments better than surgery

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Are there alternatives to Surgery? Well sometimes yes. Surgery is not the only answer to a medical problem. Ask your Doctor or specialist if they recommend any alternatives medicines or treatments other than surgery, such as a change in diet or special exercises, might help you just as well—or more. Ask your surgeon or primary care doctor about the benefits and risks of these other choices. You need to know as much as possible about these benefits and risks to make the best decision.

One alternative to surgery may be watchful waiting. During a watchful wait, your doctor and you check to see if your problem gets better or worse over time. If it gets worse, you may need surgery right away. If it gets better, you may be able to wait to have surgery or not have it at all.

What Are the Risks of Having the Operation? All operations have some riskand this is why you need to weigh the benefits of the operation against the risks of complications or side effects.

Complications are unplanned events linked to the operation. Typical complications are infection, too much bleeding, reaction to anesthesia, or accidental injury. Some people have a greater risk of complications because of other medical conditions. There also may be side effects after the operation. Often, your surgeon can tell you what side effects to expect. For example, there may be swelling and some soreness around the incision.

Acne Myths

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Acne Myths

Acne is a common skin condition, which can be extremely mild or quite disfiguring. Having had a rather bad case as a young adolescent,

One of the myths is that acne is caused by everyday dirt and surface oil on the skin and that the solution is frequent and vigorous washing of the skin. Vigorous washing of the face to cure acne is a myth. The fact is- the problems that have caused chronic acne are deeper, beneath the skin’s surface and that only a mild washing of the face is in order, often accompanied with specific solutions prescribed for treating the acne by a dermatologist. Vigorous washing of the face, particularly with harsh soaps, can lead to a further irritation of the tissue. There is, in part, a bacteriological condition that contributes to acne and it is below the surface.

Another idea is that acne is caused by stress. Scientific research seems to indicate that stress alone probably does not lead to acne, but it may be aggravated by stress. But, unfortunately, acne can result from certain prescriptions that are used to treat stress. So, if you are on certain drugs related to stress, you should certain talk to your dermatologist, the appropriate type of physician for dealing with this problem. According to Doctor James Fulton, a pioneer in the treatment of acne, lithium, a substance sometimes used in profound psychological disorders, can aggravate an acne condition.
Another myth that can lead to profoundly unpleasant consequences is that one should let acne run its course, “grow out of it.” Acne can linger for years and get worse and worse. Acne is very disfiguring and covers whole face and part of neck.

Can acne be the consequence of poor nutrition? I think the jury may be out on this one, but, for myself, I came to believe that my excessive eating of chocolate and a lot of sugar products were contributing factors to my acne. But, in my case, I did not see any correlation before my medical treatment and it was clearly medical intervention that helped me. There are certainly many naturopathically oriented practitioners and some medical doctors that share this view, though. Not everything in medicine is a hundred percent clear cut and every acne victim should certainly research all the alternatives. By George Forgan Smith
