Are you seeking different kinds of joint pain treatment? Are rheumatoid arthritis symptoms making you feel so stressed? How do you cope up with the condition? Let's discuss arthritis and its treatment in this article. Rheumatoid arthritis is cause by the wearing out of joints when a person grows old. It is just a normal process for the joints to wear out. But symptoms and complications may arise from this condition. That is why it must be relieve...more
A major killer of men and women in the world is lung cancer. The main contribute of this disease are cigarette smoking, secondhand smoke, air pollutants and the other causative factors.Not only cigarette smokers but there are non smokers also do get lung cancer and smokers who don't get it. Early signs of lung cancer are very essential for them. In Fact, fifty percent of persons who develop cancer of the lungs are previous...more
Naturally, patients opt to have alternative treatment to cure herniated discs. Chiropractic care is a natural choice to manage disc herniation. Many patients prefer this approach for back pain therapy. Chiropractic care is presently the world's third largest health care provider and had become popular in the back care industry.People often ask, "What is herniated disc?" It is a general term for intervertebral spinal disc which has either ruptured or bulged. As a result, its normal shape and position in the spinal column gets altered. On the other hand, those which remain intact are known as disc protrusions or slipped discs, bulging discs, and prolapsed discs. Ruptured discs are those which tear open. Sequestered or extruded discs are those that get contents of the nucleus spilled into the body cavity. Because of this categorization, many patients often forget or do not understand the basics of the disorder and their specific herniation problem.According to chiropractors, misalignments in the spine influence the function of our nervous system. For them, the spine is like a neurological highway that directs the motor, sensory, and autonomic body functions. Optimum health cannot be...more
Most of what is on your plate at every meal should be from plants, and very colorful ones at that.

It's true, it is already a common fact that there is still no specific cancer treatment to cure all or perhaps most types of cancer. This is the exact reason why virtually all individuals dread cancer so much....more
One interesting study is called, Translation of Microarray Data into Clinically Relevant Cancer Diagnostic Tests Using Gene Expression Ratios in Lung Cancer and Mesothelioma by Gavin J. Gordon, Roderick V. Jensen, Li-Li Hsiao, Steven R. Gullans, Joshua E. Blumenstock, Sridhar Ramaswamy, William G. Richards, David J. Sugarbaker, and Raphael Bueno - Cancer Res September 1, 2002 62. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - The pathological distinction between malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM)and adenocarcinoma (ADCA) of the lung can be cumbersome using established methods. We propose that a simple technique, based on the expression levels of a small number of genes, can be useful in the early and accurate diagnosis of MPM and lung cancer. This method is designed to accurately distinguish between genetically disparate tissues using gene expression ratios and rationally chosen thresholds. Here we have tested the fidelity of ratio-based diagnosis in differentiating between MPM and lung cancer in 181 tissue samples (31 MPM and 150 ADCA). A training set of 32 samples (16 MPM and 16 ADCA) was used to identify pairs of genes with highly significant, inversely correlated expression levels to form a...more
