Cervical Cancer

The lower narrow portion of the womans uterus is called the cervix. This opening to the passageway is called the cervical canal. During a menstrual period the blood flows from the uterus through the canal and into the vagina. Producing mucus that helps sperm move from the vagina to the uterus, the cervix remains tightly closed. Knowing the exact function and location of the cervix will aid a lot as we discuss cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is the formation of abnormal cells on the lining of the cervix. Normally as cells grow they divide, the old cells die, and new cells replace them. When the normal process by which cells divide goes wrong, masses of tissue known as tumors begin to grow. Benign tumors are not life threatening and normally can easily be removed permanently. They usually stay in one location and do not normally spread to other parts of the body. However, some tumors are malignant; these are the ones that are a lot more serious as they have the possibility of spreading and growing at alarming rates if not caught early. They are life threatening and can be removed but sometimes grow again. When these malignant tumors occur, they are known as cancer.

Risk factors that can contribute to the possibility of developing cervical cancer are infections. The main infection that causes cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus,
These are common viruses that are extremely contagious. It is estimated that most adults have at one time in their lives been infected with HPV because of coming into sexual contact with another person with the virus. It can cause changes to the cervix that will eventually turn into cancer, warts, or other uncomfortable and unpleasant problems. A weakened immune system will have the same affect n the cervix or women who have had many partners have a higher level of risk than those who have not. Sometimes normal aging is a factor, usually occurring in women over age 40.

Cancer that spreads from its place of origin to another part of the body the new tumor is identical to the original cell and therefore the cancer is the same no matter what part of the body it has spread to. For example: if a woman has cervical cancer that has spread to her breast we would not call this breast cancer but we would say that the cervical cancer cells are located in her breast. It would be treated as cervical cancer and not breast cancer. If a woman has symptoms arising from cervical cancer then she waited much too long. Regular screenings for cervical cancer is imperative as the cells can be prevented from forming into cervical cancer way before symptoms begin. Today the number of cases in the U.S. has been falling thanks to screening and early detection. Doctors recommend that regular PaP smear test are performed to find cervical cancer or abnormal cells that lead to cancer of the cervix. Early detection is the way to preventing this kind of cancer, it is treatable with a high rate of success, so get tested regularly to prevent this from becoming a big problem. It is hard to prevent diseases without living in fear, but as long as you are observant of signs, you will be able to reduce the risk of mortality.

I Cured My Arthritis You Can Too

I Cured My Arthritis You Can Too
Margie Garrison – “The Arthritis Lady”

Yes… I Cured My Arthritis You Can Too

From the age of 11 to age 53 I avoided holding hands; they were
painful to the touch, so puffed up, sore and hot!!!

Raising four children, of course, I had to hold their hands. I
tried so hard not to let them know how painful it was but, they
knew I was in constant pain.

I always felt bad for my husband because holding hands was
something we missed. It was hard to knit or crochet, which I
loved to do.

Walking, bending or standing for any period of time was so
painful for me. My children learned, as small children, to do
what ever they could to help around the house.

I went to over thirteen “Arthritis” specialists, which were of
little or no help.

I was prescribed many different drugs and went through all kinds
of treatments for my arthritis.

I was in so much pain that I tried anything and everything to
find relief.

I was so desperate to find something that would stop her pain
that I:

* Went to over 13 physicians, (“Arthritis Specialists”) * I took
Codeine, Darvon, Sprays and “Gold Treatments” * I was placed in
traction with a large weight to stretch her body, was tied to
the bed and couldn’t move for a week! * I was put in an upper
body cast for 3 months * I wore shoe lifts * And so much more!!!

In 1980, the last year I suffered from Arthritis, I spent an
average of $40.00 month on miscellaneous drugs, $30.00 for a
monthly doctor appointment and $30.00 on pain killers. That’s a
total of $100.00 a month. I wish I could have spent that money
on something I liked to do instead.

All the drugs, all the doctors, all the treatments, all the
money… ALL the FAILURES!!!

Doctor after doctor told me that there was no cure for arthritis
and that I should, “Take this medication, go home and learn to
live with it”. One doctor predicted that I would be in a wheel
chair within 5 years.

I was crushed… Being the eternal optimist, never gave up… I
went on a crusade to find a way to stop my arthritis. And I
did!!!

I spent many years researching arthritis, and put together this
incredible program, “I Cured My Arthritis You Can Too” , that
shows you in easy to follow steps how you can do what I did at
home, and without drugs.

I know this may sound too good to be true. But I did it… I
have gone through what you are going through right now. I have
now been living Pain Free from Arthritis for 25 years.

I am known on the World Wide Web (and elsewhere) as “The
Arthritis Lady” and am now doing something I “like” to do. I
spend most of my time answering thousands of emails and phone
calls from people who suffer with arthritis. I answers questions
and help solve their problems.

Here are just a few things people have written me…

“My wife has rheumatoid arthritis and she tried what you wrote
in your book and she has been almost totally pain free for a
month so far. Thanks for publishing your book.

Roy – Goose Creek, S.C

“I have purchased your book and it is a miracle from God. I
really believe in it. It has opened my eyes toward the right
foods we should eat to keep our bodies healthy and free from
diseases.

Evangeline – Culloden, GA

**********

“Thank the Lord and you. Your book is my companion in my quest
for health. I can’t praise it enough. You are a pioneer in the
practice of prevention in Medicine.

Mary B – Santa Cruz, CA

**********

My friend raved to me about how your book helped him. He had
taken so much Cortisone until his doctor balked at giving it to
him. My friend said he spends many painful, sleepless nights,
and that his life was pure misery. Now, some five months later,
he has no pain, and sleeps very well. He has lost some 40 pounds
and feels 20 years younger.

Lewis – Oklahoma City, Ok

“My friend is over 80 years old. She was unable to do hand work
and almost unable to walk. Now she is able to do both. Mrs. A.
Jenkins – Morango, CA

Periodontal Disease in Adolescents

The meaning of the word periodontal is around the tooth. Also known as gum diseases periodontal diseases are nothing but serious infections caused by bacteria that harm the gums and tissues in the vicinity of the mouth. While dental cavities or caries only affects the tooth Periodontal disease is devastating affecting the bones that surround the tooth, gums, coverings of teeth root and tooth membrane. A physician specializing in the treatment of periodontal disease is known as Periodontist.

The disease should not be taken lightly and if its left untreated it can spread and affect the bones under the teeth which would eventually dissolve and would not longer support the teeth in its place. The chronic form of the disease is responsible for tooth loss in seventy percent of the cases affecting seventy five percent of the people at some time in their lives.

The causes of periodontal disease are similar to any other oral disease wherein plaque buildup and bacteria are responsible for the condition. According to statistics plaque buildup is the main cause of gum related diseases. Apart from the causes listed, the other possible causes of periodontal disease include: Genetics, unkempt oral hygiene, food getting stuck to frequently in the gums, mouth breathing, low nutrient diet or vitamin c deficient diet, smoking, diabetes, autoimmune/systemic disease, changes in hormone levels, certain medications and constantly teeth grinding.

According to statistics nearly sixty six percent young adult population suffers from periodontal disease and nearly fifty percent of teenagers suffer from periodontal disease. Also, it is the most widespread tooth loss cause in adults. But, what are the symptoms of periodontal disease? There are various symptoms and it could differ from one adolescent to the other which may include swollen, tender, and red gums; if one gets bleeding during brushing or flossing the teeth it is also one of the symptoms of periodontal disease; receding gums; constant odorous breath; loose teeth; dentures not fitting any longer; change in alignment of jaw and bite. The symptoms of the disease may be similar to other medical conditions and doctors consultation is the best in this regard.

Periodontal disease can be diagnosed by a dentist or a periodontist after reviewing the complete medical history and also physical examination of the teenagers mouth. Usually x-ray of the teeth is taken to evaluate the disease. Periodontal disease is classified into different types based on what stage the disease is in. The mildest form of gum disease is known as gingivitis in which gums become swollen, red and tender resulting in bleeding while daily brushing and flossing. Gingivitis is again divided into 4 groups primarily acute, sub-acute, recurrent and chronic. Acute gingivitis is nothing but sudden appearance which lasts for shorter duration and could be painful. Sub-acute gingivitis is less severe type of gingivitis. Recurrent gingivitis is the one that comes back after treatment. Chronic gingivitis is the one that onsets slowly, lasts longer and is generally painless. A dentists treatment and proper and continuous care can easily solve the problem of gingivitis but if left untreated could result in periodontitis.

Periodontitis is further classified into mild and moderate to advance. Periodontitis results from untreated gingivitis. In this stage the deterioration of the bone in the vicinity of the tooth becomes evident. The common symptoms include red gums that bleed; mouth tastes bad; loose teeth; tooth loss. Proper treatment is a must to control the disease and prevent further deterioration. Periondontitis which is in moderate to advanced stage shows signs of major loss of tissue and bone loss near the teeth.

There are various treatments available for periodontal disease which is decided by the dentist depending on teenagers age, medical history and health in general. The method of treatment also depends on the extent to which disease has reached. The tolerance of the teenager to certain medicines, therapies and procedures are also taken into consideration. Expectations and opinion of the parents or teenager is also the criteria in deciding the type of treatment. The treatment usually involves plaque removal, medication and in worse cases a surgery.
