A Homeopathic cure for Cancer

Posted by Prem Wednesday, March 2, 2011 0 comments

A Homeopathic cure for Cancer
Most often people resort to alternative medicine when modern methods seem to have failed. Others scoff and call it mumbo–jumbo. Yet an increasing number of patients are opting for this mode of treatment and are better off for it. In Pune, Cancer patients try a new cure, with interesting results. It’s homeopathy, and the man administering it to Cancer patients is Dr. Santosh Bansali. With over 300 success stories to his credit, he’s been helping Cancer patients where modern medicine seems to have failed.

The parents of two–year–old Mira Patel discovered that their little daughter had Cancer when an innocuous fever lingered for over a month and the doctor advised blood tests. It was discovered that Mira was suffering from acute lymphatic leukemia. Then began the rounds of hospitals and two cycles of chemotherapy. The doctors also advised the Patels that their daughter would have to undergo a bone marrow transplant. “We were ready to spend Rs 6 lakhs that the transplant would cost, but there was no guarantee that she would recover,” says Rambhai Patel, Mira’s grandfather

This was when they decided to visit Dr. Santosh Bansali’s clinic on a friend’s suggestion as a last ditch attempt to save their daughter’s life. By then Mira’s WBC count was 2,700/cu.mm. (the normal range is 4,000 to 11,000) and her platelet count was 61,000 cu.mm. (the normal range is 1,50,000 to 4,00,000). The WBC and platelet tests are necessary parameters to determine the presence of leukemia. Two months of treatment at Dr. Bansali’s clinic, and Mira’s blood tests showed a return to normalcy. The latest test done by Medicare Laboratory on March 13, 2000 shows her WBC at 5,600/cu.mm. and a platelet count of 2,10,000.

Say the overjoyed parents, “We always think of allopathy when we think of Cancer. Our daughter is an example of how homeopathy can work wonders with Cancer.” Dr. Bansali, the man behind many similar success stories feels that “Allopathy offers surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. But cancerous cells never die and such treatments have other side effects like damaging the kidneys, and the heart.” In fact Bansali feels that homeopathy can help better because it does not deal in a standardized way for everybody. “Homeopathy takes into account the person’s entire system and the treatment therefore becomes very individualized,” says Bansali. 

Deepali Mehendale’s saga of Cancer began as a heaviness in the abdomen which was proved to be Cancer. She had two cancerous tumors that were 13.5 cms X 11.5 cms and 12 cms X 10.5 cms. Deepali was advised surgery followed by chemotherapy. “I underwent surgery last year, but I didn’t want to undergo chemotherapy because of its various side effects like hair loss and nausea. I had heard of Dr. Santosh Bansali and his Homeopathic treatment and decided to opt for it.“ When Deepali refused chemotherapy, she had a CA–125 level of 43.4 U/ml. The CA–125 is a test that determines ovarian Cancer and normal limits are levels less than 35.0 U/ml. After eight months of taking Homeopathic treatment, Deepali’s CA–125 plunged to 4.40 U/ml, well below normal. “Now I feel totally fit and energized,” says Deepali.

Bansali believes that he can cure most people who come to him much before the final stages of Cancer. He also claims to have a success rate of 75per cent. However, though doctors are happy with such reports, they are cautious about whether the treatment works or not. Dr. Dilip Wani, consulting pathologist feels that it might be rather early to comment. “Also, all of Bansali’s patients that I have seen have taken treatment only after taking chemotherapy. The cancerous cells would already have been greatly reduced,” he says. The fact that there is no control group means that it would be some time before homeopathy would be widely practiced and used for the treatment of Cancer. Bansali acknowledges this fact and has maintained meticulous records of all his patients to aid scientific research. Yet while the debate continues, patients continue flocking to him. For, what matters eventually is the cure.

Tips For Good Health

Posted by Prem Monday, February 28, 2011 0 comments

Enjoy Improved Health.

Want to live longer? Then eat less. When animals (as reported in a journal of the National Academy of Sciences) were fed a nutritious, calorie-restricted diet (about 30 percent fewer calories than normal), they experienced less sickness, reduced rates of cancer, less heart disease, and less diabetes, and lived longer.
Researchers believe that if humans would cut out their usual amounts of saturated fats, hydrogenated vegetable oils, pastries, cookies, and other junk food and help themselves to sensible portions of fruits and vegetables instead, they, like the animals in the study, would enjoy improved health.--HealthWise.

Sodas Settle Around the Waistline.

Drinking just one can of sugary soda per day, without adjusting the amount of food eaten or increasing one's exercise level, can add 15 pounds of body weight over a year's time. A 12-ounce can of sugary soda has 150 calories. Americans now drink twice as much sugared soda per person as they did 25 years ago.
Fruit and vegetable juices, and water with a bit of lemon, are great alternatives to the soda habit.--University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.

Pure Water Can Be a Wonderful Doctor!
If you are suffering from fatigue, you feel depressed or too stressed, and you are looking for more energy, water could be just the ticket. Also, if you are interested in losing weight and/or controlling your appetite, if you suffer from dry skin, indigestion, backaches, or headaches, drinking more water might be the solution, at least partly. Water makes up between 70 and 80 percent of our bodies--the blood and brain are 90 percent water! Your cells need it to do everything they're assigned by God, and your kidneys use it to filter out harmful elements. It also helps to lubricate our joints, metabolize fat, keep the brain thinking, and a host of other life-sustaining processes. 

Water is a great way to help control one's physical body--as more water consumption typically results in less food consumption. In addition, drinking adequate amounts of water will significantly reduce the daily calories so readily consumed when drinking juice, soft drinks, and milk. 

There are several ideas about how much water we need to consume to maintain good health. One rule of thumb is eight ounces a day for every 25 pounds of body weight. You should check with your doctor before changing your diet, but it is a fact that for most people more water will greatly benefit their health.
Your body recycles water in a way only God could have devised, but you will naturally lose water through breathing, sweating, and elimination. To avoid losing excess water, stay away from alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, which slow the absorption of water.--Adapted from Amazing Facts, Inside Report, May/June 2003, p. 30.

More About Fatigue.

75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated. In 37 percent of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3 percent. One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100 percent of dieters in a University of Washington study. Lack of water is the #1 trigger for daytime fatigue. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day significantly eases back and joint pain for up to 80 percent of sufferers. A mere 2 percent drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45 percent, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79 percent, and be 50 percent less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Why Risk Alcohol?

There is nothing in wine that isn't in grapes, except for the alcohol. You can add a variety of red and purple table grapes to your diet instead of the wine. In addition, berries, plums, currants, and other deep red-blue fruits are also excellent sources of the anthocyanin phenols found in wine. And quercetin, another phytonutrient in wine, is actually more plentiful in apples with skin. Onions, whole buckwheat, oranges, and grapefruits provide some too.
A healthy dose of colorful fruits and vegetables provides an abundance of other health-protective nutrients not found in wine.--Environmental Nutrition.

Change Your Behavior Today!

I do not want to be the person I am (fat, sick, medication dependent, lethargic, incapacitated, etc.). I want my health and personal appearance back.

1. Recognize that you are worth the effort--you deserve the best life possible.
2. Make a list of personal reasons you want to change.
3. Remove obstacles to change--like avoiding friends and family who sabotage you and removing junk food from your surroundings.
4. Surround yourself with healthy foods--stock your kitchen right, find an accommodating restaurant.
5. Commit yourself to change--pick the specific day and do it.
6. Gather all your strength--everything else in your life must be secondary to this effort.
7. Never give in to the old ways--not even once. But, if you make a mistake--it's only one meal (if it is food) --start right in again.
8. Tell others about your changes--they will help keep you on track.
9. Associate with like-minded people--find friends with good habits.
10. Appreciate your success for beating the most powerful enemies in your life.

Tips for Handling Stress.

Regulate your life as much as possible; take some creative control of your activities. Exercise adequately; take a long walk outside if possible, breathe deeply, get some sunlight. Shower regularly and drink plenty of water. Eat nourishing food with an adequate supply of B vitamins. Don't take yourself too seriously. Take time for rest and relaxation. Reach out to help someone. Keep life--present and future--in proper perspective.--A Key Encounter.

Nuts Are Good for You!

Adults who substitute two ounces of almonds for other foods can reduce their LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) by 10 percent in just a month. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fat, a good type of fat also found in avocados, olive oil, and other nuts. When monounsaturated fat replaces saturated or trans fats in your diet, cholesterol levels fall. 

Nuts also are a good source of protein. But researchers stress that without substituting nuts for other foods, the resulting weight gain can negate their cholesterol-lowering effect. --Circulation.

The Benefits of Eating Wheat.

An important battle in the war against disease may be whole-grain wheat. While it has long been believed that wheat's fiber content might prevent cancer, new research shows that wheat contains powerful antioxidants that strongly contribute to the prevention of colon cancer, and possibly diabetes and heart disease. These antioxidants are found in the wheat's orthophenols, and orthophenols survive the baking process. --Kansas State University.

A Safe Diet for Everyone.

C. Everett Koop, former surgeon general of the United States, suggests the best menu is a "a varietal diet rich in complex carbohydrates and protein obtained from whole grains, beans, peas, legumes and a selection of root vegetables. Daily servings of leafy vegetables, daily servings of fruit, a few nuts and 8-10 glasses of water."--North Pacific Union Conference Gleaner, October 2002.

Walking--the Perfect Exercise!

There's growing agreement among exercise researchers that the intense physical activities offered by most health clubs are not the only--or even the preferable--path to better health. Indeed, the best thing for most of us may be to just walk. 

Yes, walk. At a reasonably vigorous clip (three to four m.p.h.) for half an hour or so, maybe five or six times a week. You may not feel the benefits all at once, but the evidence suggests that over the long term, a regular walking routine can do a world of preventive good. 

Walking, in fact, may be the perfect exercise. For starters, it's one of the safest things you can do with your body. It's much easier on the knees than running and doesn't trigger untoward side effects.
Because walking affects you in so many ways at once, it can be difficult to determine precisely why it's good for you. But much of the evidence gathered so far is compelling:


Walking briskly for at least half an hour consumes a couple hundred calories and boosts your metabolic rate for the rest of the day, giving you a better chance of winning the battle of the bulge.

Studies show that women who exercised regularly as children and young adults and had a healthy intake of calcium decreased their risk of developing osteoporosis later in life.

Posted by Prem Thursday, February 24, 2011 0 comments

Find Health Information Management Programs in the United States and Canada. Today, health information management programs are essential to candidates aspiring for job opportunities in physicians' offices, home healthcare businesses, outpatient clinics, hospitals, nursing homes and other medical facilities.

While no two health information management programs are alike, it is essential to review course offerings at schools and career-training institutes that offer this and related programs. Though the majority of health information management programs are offered as degreed courses, a number of educational facilities may extend medical office specialist training, which can be completed as a job-specific course that results in a diploma or certificate.

Health information management programs are often accredited, and require successful completion of certification from the American Health Information Management Association. Common studies in health information management programs include liberal arts, and comprehensive health services administration training.

Graduates of health information management programs will have gained the knowledge and skills to successfully plan, direct, coordinate and supervise overall healthcare administration duties. Because healthcare managers (or medical and health service managers) must maintain client/patient records, it is critical that these healthcare workers continue education in computer technology and medical software to keep up with business demands.

Though States vary in regulations, students who desire to work in nursing care facilities as health care administrators must complete one of several health information management programs and have obtained a minimum of a Bachelor's degree. In addition, a licensing examination is also required.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, growth in this field is expected to be positive; and individuals who have successfully completed all studies in any one of a number of health information management programs have the potential to achieve annual earnings of over $117k.

What is Good Health

Posted by Prem Tuesday, February 22, 2011 0 comments

Moderation & Balance --A Key To Good Health
Good health is not just "the absence of disease". It is the absence of dis-ease or discomfort.
"Good Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." - WHO ( World Health Organisation ). 

We think we are healthy as long as we progress or decay at the same rate as others around us. Normally unhealthy condition does not develop overnight. Pathological development is always accompanied by warnings.

Our body is a wonderful machine. When something goes wrong it warns us beforehand. We need to pick up the signals.

Each one has a unique biochemistry as well as a unique metabolism. Therefore each individual has different nutritional needs which depend upon his medical history & lifestyle.

Fortunately there are generic ways to keep ourselves healthy. There are many common ways which if followed, can help us remain healthy.

To remain healthy, we need to nourish our body by eating right foods and by avoiding the wrong ones. Deprivation, elimination & counting of calories alone can not nourish our body.

A state of good health means all or body organs are functioning in harmony. Exercise has a number of health benefits but over exercising can cause stress and exhaustion.

Fibre rich food is good to have but too much of fibre prevents absorption of minerals like zinc, calcium & iron causing multiple deficiencies.

Food can heal and restore health in a sick person. Food is an important healing force. One can regard food as a complementary medicine in many circumstances.

There is a difference between hunger and appetite. Hunger is the need for food. But we have an appetite for certain foods only, without being actually hungry.

Hunger is a physical need and an appetite is only psychological and is triggered by temptation.
Role of exercise in our life is also important. With age our bodies become inflexible. It is more out of dis-use than wear and tear. The human body requires a certain minimum level of activity.

Lack of activity or exercise affects muscle movements. As you brush your teeth everyday you have to take time to do exercise.
You can not say that you do not have time to brush your teeth. Exercise could be just brisk walking or some aerobics or going to gymnasium. Do whatever suits you. Either in the morning or in the evening.

Simple walking for 30 minutes a day can work wonders for you to remain healthy.

Our ultimate goal in life is to be happy. We need to watch our emotions and thoughts. Our physical health is influenced by our state of mind.

A negative frame of mind due to anxieties, stress, tensions, deadlines etc reflects on a physical level.
We need to review our ever increasing needs and desires and become more aware of our inner space and practice solitude / silence in order to get inner peace.

Key to good health lies in moderation and balance.

How To Gain Weight Healthy

Posted by Prem Monday, February 21, 2011 0 comments

In a society where most people are trying to lose weight, there are some people who need to gain it. Why would someone want to gain weight? Because some people are naturally thin and would love to be bigger. They don't like how they look in their clothes, and there are a few other reasons.

Whatever your reason for wanting to gain weight, you have to do it in a healthy way. You have to eat foods that supply your body with calories as well as enough nutrients. The key to developing an effective weight gain diet is to concentrate on an intelligent combination of complex carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fats.
When your starting out you should count how many calories you eat in a normal day. This is an important step so make sure you just eat like you normally would, and then count how many calories you have consumed.

Try to be as exact as possible and then weight yourself at the end of the day. After you counted your calorie intake you now know how many calories you have to consume in your weight gain diet. You should consume 500 calories more than your normal calorie intake. For the rest of the week, the calories you originally counted plus the additional 500 calories should be your calorie intake target each day.

The next important factor is to break those calories up into 5 to 6 smaller meals. Don't try to eat 3 big meals a day all the time. You should try to eat one meal every 2 hours. You should also get in the gym and start lifting. Weightlifting is very important if you want to gain weight.

Don't expect your weight gain diet to increase your weight by 10lb. If your gaining anymore than 1 or 2 pounds per week then the weight your gaining is unhealthy. An effective weight gain diet is supposed to give your a 1`or 2 pound gain at the end of the week.

Eventually your will stop seeing weight gain. All this means is that you have to eat even more. When you stop gaining weight for about 2 weeks you should start eating extra calories each day. Whenever you see you haven't gained weight for 2 weeks, increase your calorie intake.

Many people want to gain weight and build a ripped muscular body which can take time and hard work. However there are shortcuts to speed up your gains. If you want to speed up your Muscle Weight Building with a full program that provides you with all the workouts, weight gain diets and more techniques to get your body Ripped Fast, then Click Here.

Health Information Technology - A Bright Future

Posted by Prem Wednesday, February 16, 2011 0 comments

The health care industry is getting more technologically advanced every year. And with those advances, comes a need for people who not only understand how to use the technology, but can help make innovations that will continue to advance the system.

One of the degrees that can put you at the heart of all the action is a health information technology degree. This type of degree program will teach you how to use technology to collect, analyze, monitor, maintain and report health data. If you're interested in the medical field, a health information technology program offers a truly fascinating point from which to explore your passions and start your career.

In the classroom and in the field, when you're enrolled in a health information technology program, you'll learn to process requests for the release of personal health information, code clinical information, process and use health data for clinical quality management, bill patients for services (and provide reimbursement) and learn compliance while protecting patient privacy. And frankly, the jobs you'll receive after you receive your health information technology degree will put you in a position of great responsibility and control.

Post-Health Information Technology Program Jobs

With the degree in hand, some of the positions you can expect to work in include:

o Health Information Technician. Job responsibilities often include reviewing medical charts to check for completion and accuracy, generating reports and assigning diagnosis codes to medical charts for insurance claims and data collection purposes, plus gathering, analyzing and managing information about patients so healthcare providers can properly care for them.

o Medical Coder. With a health information technology degree you can enter the field as a medical coder, which, because of its medical and business nature, is often a springboard for advancement opportunities within the healthcare sector. Some of the responsibilities of a medical coder include reviewing medical documents provided by physicians, then translating the information into numeric codes and sequencing diagnostic and procedural codes by using a standard healthcare coding system. This work is crucial to the financial reimbursement of healthcare professionals by the insurance companies that provide policies for the patients.

o Health Information Administrator. After completing a health information technology program you may work as a healthcare administrator. In this position you will oversee (or as an entry-level job assist the person who oversees) the business of providing services to patients and manage the health information systems that house the medical facility's patient-related documents, insurance information, and business documentation.

o Medical Secretary. Medical secretaries help maintain order in the office and provide the support necessary for proper patient care. Some of the job responsibilities may include transcribing dictation, generating correspondence, assisting physicians with reports, speeches, articles, and conference proceedings, as well as providing technological support and maintaining medical records.

The Job Outlook
According to a 2006-2007 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report, employment for medical records and health information technicians is expected to grow much faster than average for all occupations from now through 2014.

A few highlights of the BLS report include:
o Job prospects should be very good; technicians with a strong background in medical coding will be in particularly high demand.

o Those entering the field will usually have an associate degree; courses include anatomy, physiology, medical terminology, statistics, and computer science.

o Most employers prefer to hire Registered Health Information Technicians (RHIT), who must pass a written examination offered by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). To take the examination, a person must graduate from a 2-year health information technology program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM). Technicians who receive a Health Information Technology degree from a non-CAHIIM-accredited program or who are trained on the job are not eligible to take the examination.

o Median annual earnings of medical records and health information technicians were $25,590 in 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $20,650 and $32,990. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $17,720, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $41,760.

With a job outlook so bright - and an education that's both challenging and exciting - choosing a health information technology degree program is an intelligent step to a rewarding career.
