How To Treat Benign Hypertension
Posted by: | Comments
Hypertension is a growing concern for many industrialized nations. Billions of dollars are spent each year in treating the condition and the number of people with hypertension is growing year on year. Although the cases of hypertension are on the increase, many people will have benign hypertension without realising it.
It is thought that an estimated one in three people in the US have high blood pressure, and it is likely these numbers will be mirrored more or less in most industrialized nations. Of these people is it thought that about a third will go undiagnosed and not realise that they have high blood pressure, as they have not had their blood pressure levels checked for a period.
Also, of those who are diagnosed it is believed that around 50% do not take their blood pressure medication as prescribed, which is considered as one of the major causes of malignant hypertension (when blood pressure becomes very high and severe damage can occur to major organs in the body).

Different Type of Diabetes
There are many types of diabetes, but the three most common are:
1. Type 1
2. Type 2
3. Gestational
These three types of Diabetes are same with some differences, everyone with diabetes has one thing in common and that is little or no ability to move glucose out of the blood into the cells, where it is converted into body’s primary fuel. We all have glucose in our blood, whether or not we have diabetes. Main source for glucose is food which we eat. When we eat, the digestive system breaks down food into glucose, which is absorbed into the blood in the small intestine.
People who don’t suffer from diabetes depend on insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas, to move glucose from the blood into the body’s billions of cells. But people who suffer from diabetes either don’t produce insulin or can’t efficiently use the insulin produced in their body. Without insulin, glucose can’t move into blood cells. Scientists don’t know the exact reason behind cause’s diabetes, but it seems to be a result from a combination of genetics and environmental factors, including viral infections, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyle. Till now, diabetes has no solution, but the good news is that the disease can be managed and treated. People with diabetes can live fulfilling, healthy lives.

Diabetes, The 6 Points That Will Explain It For You
Posted by: | Comments
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease in which patients present with absolute or relative insulin deficiency. It effects about 6% of western populations and is a major contributing factor for heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and peripheral vascular disease. Diabetes mellitus is also the leading cause of new blindness.
1. Types of Diabetes
There are four forms of the disease, classified as: types 1 and 2, gestational and other specific types.

Some Enlightening Information About Insulin Resistance, and Insulin Resistance Syndrome
Posted by: | Comments
Believe it or not–I was astounded!–well over 60,000 searches are done online each and every month for the term insulin resistance. That means a lot of people are curious, and possibly concerned about this. As they should be. It also means that a lot of people are confused about it… and they shouldn’t be.
Here is some information that hopefully will clarify some of the “mysteries” surrounding insulin resistance and insulin resistance syndrome.
Most cases of reactive hypoglycemia (1) are labeled idiopathic, which means “unknown cause”. I believe insulin resistance causes most cases of idiopathic reactive hypoglycemia, and that insulin resistance is caused, in turn, by diet and heredity. Insulin resistance can be an early warning sign of Type II diabetes and studies have shown that Type II diabetics may have been insulin resistant for up to 12 years before diagnosis.

Introduction:-
Diabetes comes from the greek word for ‘SIPHON” which one is the first term and implies for a lot of urine is made .The trm “mellitus” comes from a laton word, “met” which means “honey” and was used because the urine was sweet (Wheeler,2004)
High Blood Pressure (hypertention) Causes and Cure
Posted by: | Comments
It is very important to pay particular attention to this issue at hand.The highest pressure which the heart produces as it pumps blood into the arteries is referred to as the systolic pressure, while the measure of the pressure that remains in the arteries just before the next pump is called the diastolic pressure.These two pressures make up the readings of a person’s Blood Pressure (BP).Blood Pressure is usually expressed as systolic/diastolic.
The normal range for the blood pressure in a normal, healthy young adult is 90 to 140 for the systolic and 60 to 90 for the diastolic.Persistent readings above 140/90 represents a degree of High Blood Pressure (hypertention).
CAUSES OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (HYPERTENTION).
Insulin Reaction Overview
Posted by: | Comments
Insulin Reaction Overview
An insulin reaction is an excessively low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia), usually lower than 50 mg/dL. Insulin reactions result from an excess of insulin via an injection or an excess of an insulin-stimulating oral hypoglycemic agent, usually in the sulfonylurea class of drugs. Insulin reactions are more common in people with severe diabetes. Hypoglycemia occurs more often when a person is attempting to achieve near normal blood sugar levels.
INSULIN STORAGE AND POTENCY
Insulin from various manufacturers is often made available to patients in an emergency and may be different from a patient’s usual insulin. After a disaster, patients in the affected area may not have access to refrigeration. According to the product labels from all three U.S. insulin manufacturers, it is recommended that insulin be stored in a refrigerator at approximately 35 to 46 degrees F. Unopened and stored in this manner, these products maintain potency until the expiration date on the package. However, all of the available insulin products may be left unrefrigerated (between 59 and 86 degrees F) for up to 28 days and still maintain potency.

Breaf History of Hyperthermia
The healing effect of heat treatment was already mentioned in the advanced cultures of the old Egypt (2400 B.C.), but only the medical professionals of the Greek Antique used this therapeutic approach consistently, acknowledged it and called it over-warming (in Greek: Hyperthermia). “Give me the power to produce fever and I heal every illness”, said Parmenides, Greek physician, 540-480 B.C.
Hyperthermia in cancer treatmentHyperthermia (also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy) is an acute condition which occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. It is usually caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhelmed and unable to effectively deal with the heat, causing the body temperature to climb uncontrollably.
Hyperthermia can also be created artificially by drugs or medical devices. In these instances it may be used to treat cancer and other conditions. Cancer cells are more heat-sensitive than healthy cells and their structure reacts differently to overheating. In 1910 the possibility of overheating in order to increase the radiation effect on malicious tumors was described for the first time. This already well-known and applied method was rediscovered as so called “whole body hyperthermia” in the beginning of the 1960s. Since the 70s a number of studies were run to further investigate this therapy form.
