PREVENTING AND OVERCOMING GALLSTONES NATURALLY



Gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ located in the rightabdomen, and hidden under the liver. Gallbladder stores bileproduced by the liver. During the meal, the gallbladder will contract (shrink) so spend a little liquid brownish-green bile into the small intestine. Bile useful in the absorption of fat and somevitamins, like vitamin A, D, E, and K. Bile is a mixture of bileacids, protein, calcium salts, pigments and fatty substance calledcholesterol. Some of the bile that enters the small intestine and is passed out through the feces.

Major abnormalities that can arise in the formation of gallbladderstones. It can also occur in the bile ducts. Gallstones are causedby chemical changes in a person's bile. Gallstones are formedfrom cholesterol deposits, pigment bilirubin and calcium saltswhich harden, but most gall bladder stones are formed from cholesterol. Incidence of gallstones would be a problem when it enters one of the channels leading to the small intestine.Sometimes stones can form in the bile duct itself, such as an operation scar.

In the gallbladder, the stones can cause inflammation called acute kolestitis, this is because the fraction of gallstones in the bile ducts that cause pain. Stones through the gall bladder can be related in the liver and bile ducts, thereby stopping the flow of bile into the digestive tract. In addition, there are other factors that initiate the process of gallstone formation. This element can be a protein found in the mucous fluid which formed the gall bladder in small quantities. This allows cholesterol, bilirubin, and calcium salts to form particles such as crystalline solid. The shape of gallstones varies, ie rock formed from cholesterol yellow and shiny like oil, pigment stones composed of bilirubin can be colored or black but dark brown hard but brittle. The size also varies from a small to for gravel, but the average diameter of 1-2 cm.

Although gallbladder disease show no symptoms, the situation worsened symptoms normally generated is an attack at the time of eating foods that contain high fat if a person already suffering from gallstones. This happens because fat triggers the hormone stimulates the gallbladder to contract, forcing the stored bile into the duodenum which is the way out to the small intestine, if a stone blocks the flow of bile will give rise to symptoms such as acute pain in the upper right abdomen and leads to the back , between the shoulder and the chest forward. Other symptoms of colic, belching, flatulence, indigestion, sweating, nausea, vomiting, chills, body temperature is rather high, jaundice (when gallstones block the bile duct), and stool brown.

Stone disease and gall bladder bile ducts usually strikes people between the ages of 20-50 years. The disease is 6 times more common in women until the age of 50 years. Above that age the same for both sexes. In addition, women who experienced more than 2 times the pregnancy, the risk of getting gallstones higher.Obesity / overweight are at risk of suffering from gallstones is higher compared with those not obese. Some efforts to prevent the formation of gallstones that can be taken, among others, keep the weight to remain normal, lowering cholesterol, and consuming foods that contain lots of fiber. But on the other hand, hard diet to lose weight quickly can stimulate the liver to release large amounts of cholesterol into bile, which can cause gallstones.

To find out if our bodies have used a gallstone gallstonedetection tool, called ultrasound, using sound waves that can not be heard ear. These sound waves are directed into the body andreflected waves are then processed computer that would indicatethe presence or absence of gallstones. In addition gallstones can be known through X-ray and blood tests in the laboratory.

For patients with gallstones, the main principle of treatment isrest the gallbladder. Avoid fatty foods because fat stimulates thegallbladder to work hard. Protein content in the diet is quite 1-1 ½grams per body weight per day. Calories should also be limited,because most people with gallstones are also obese. Raw foodscan cause digestive disorders should also be avoided.

Natural ways that can be used to overcome the gallstones are:

  • 30 grams of fresh leaves nasty shard + 30 grams + 60 grams of fresh bitter corn boiled with 600 cc of water until the remaining300 cc, filtered water, drunk warm.
  • 60 grams of fresh herbs cat's whiskers + 30 grams + 30 grams of corn cobs meniran fresh leaves boiled with 600 cc of wateruntil the remaining 300 cc, filtered water, drunk warm.
  • 30 grams of fresh leaves of spoon + 30 grams of fresh leaves at four o'clock flower + 100 grams of roots of the weeds boiled withwater until the remaining 700 ccc 300 cc, filtered water, drunkwarm.
  • Drink as much as 4 cups of apple juice every day for 5 days. Onthe 6th day do fasting, and at the time of breaking fast drinking water + 30 grams of salt English, at 20.00 hours to drink ½ cup water ½ cup lemon + olive oil, stir and drink.

Note:
You can use either the traditional way on top, do regularly 2 timesa day. In conducting the use boiling pot or enamel pot soil. Tetepconsult a doctor.

CHEST PAIN, NOT JUST THE HEART DYING



When chest pain, many people immediately think about a heart attack. These complaints are often marked symptoms of heart disease. It turned out that many types of diseases is oneindication of chest pain, including lung cancer, breast cancer and increased gastric acid.

Not all chest pain comes from a disturbance in the heart organ.However, chest pain is a typical symptom of heart disease. Chest pain due to heart problems caused by the imbalance betweendemand and supply of oxygen to the heart muscle.

Imbalance could be due to increased oxygen demand or supply is too low, it could be a combination of both. In patients withnarrowing of the coronary arteries (blood vessels that supply thefood), automated blood drainage is limited.

If the patient requires an excess of oxygen consumption, such aswhen exercising or when faced with stressful situations, such as anger, one might expect the onset of symptoms of angina or chest pain. These symptoms may get worse when blood vesselsaccompanied by cramps commonly referred to spasm.

Can End Up Fatal

Sensation of chest pain from coronary heart disease can vary.Usually a heavy load feel downtrodden, a sense of grip, nauseaor feel sick, burning sensation burning, or choking feeling in the neck.

Parts of the body have been complaints that could be in themiddle of the chest, solar plexus, and between the shoulder blades, with propagation to the left arm, neck and jaw. These symptoms occur when the patient initially perform strenuousphysical activity.

Complaints will usually disappear after the patient rested.However, if the disease is allowed to grow blood vessels, the complaint will also appear at the break.

Increased severity of illness make chest pain lasts longer and can be accompanied by cold sweats, anxiety, cold hands and feet,seizures and even decreased consciousness. If you do not get immediate medical help, the case could end up fatal.

The death rate for cardiogenic shock was more than 95 percent.Even if patients were helped, often experience residual symptoms of neurological disorders or renal failure.

More Early Tests

At the hospital, patients with chest pain will undergo a physicalexamination, laboratory and x-rays. If needed also performedelectrocardiography and echocardiography. Having ascertainedthe narrowing of coronary arteries will be performed angiography.

As of early detection efforts, it is recommended that those aged35 years began to undergo exercise test (treadmill) every year. If you have high risk factors such as smoking, diabetes mellitus,dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid profiles), high blood pressure, family history, should do the test again at a younger age.

Can also be selected examination combination ofechocardiography and exercise test test called stress echocardiography. This method can visualize the heart wallsegments that allegedly impaired oxygen supply.

Examination is relatively new Magnetic Resonance Angiography(MRA). To find the area where the heart is impaired blood supplycan be carried out checks with the radio isotope thallium orTechnicium. Invasive techniques such as catheterization is almost 100 percent sensitivity, but should be done only when a more positive indication of having CHD.

The Main Complaint

Chest pain is also closely linked to lung disease and respiratory tract. For example, pulmonary TB (tuberculosis), bronchitis,pneumonia, bronchial asthma, lung fungus, chronic obstructivepulmonary disease, lung disease work, and lung cancer. Chest pain, cough, and shortness of breath merupakam main complaintpeople with chronic respiratory disease and lung cancer.

Pimples, boils and bruises on the chest can also cause chest pain. Herpes zoster cause chest pain that is very ill, though not yet occurred in skin disorders.

Stimulation or pressure in the parietal pleura (lining of the chestcavity also cause chest pain. Irritation of the bronchi caused bysmoke, dust, and chemicals are also often lead to complaints ofheartburn.

Smoking contributes to the occurrence of very large chronicrespiratory disease and lung cancer. It is known that inside there are 63 components of cigarette smoke that are carcinogenic orcancer causing substances.

Chest pain was also a typical symptom of an increase in stomach acid and other stomach acid into tonggorokan. Disorder is commonly called gastroesophageal reflux disease (PRGE).Patients with chest pain due to PRGE actually quite a lot.However, many people are more likely to think about heart andlung disorders, when experiencing chest pain.

A study in Orlando, United States, in 1995 found that PRGEoccurs in 40 percent of the adult population. The incidence was increased in the age group over 40 years and is more common in men.

SPORTS, KEY WAIST PAIN TREATMENT



Do not rush to take medication when the pain started to hit your body, especially at the waist. Drugs not just the only savior toovercome the pain. Could be, a sport that spur the body's dynamic movement is the best therapy.

Nearly 90% of pain that occurs in the human body, especially thewaist triggered by the conditions under use or lack of movement.Lack of movement can lead to muscle stiffness, so that when the body is conditioned to lift heavy objects or move around, there arose the pain.

To that end, unnecessary medication, terutam drugs taken. If youwant to use any ointment or patch. Be careful, chemical drugs can actually negative effect. Instead, just rest your body. See the progress, if the pain is quite mild not need any medication. It'sjust a sign, in the future you must be more diligent to train your muscles to move.

The best key to dealing with pain is exercise. However, be carefultoo, the body which move too much or over-use can also backfire.

In addition, the position of our body as well as right and properwhen lifting weights, especially heavy burden. Do not carelesslylifting weights. Position your body properly with the load to belifted. If possible, do not use just one hand, use two hands todivide the body weight evenly.

10 THINGS ABOUT ANTIBIOTIC



Antibiotics are certainly not something alien. However, howantibiotics should be used, not everyone knows.


  1. What was the benefit of antibiotics?

    Antibiotics are chemical compounds that are made to fightgerms, especially bacteria. There are various types of germs, nogerms are large, some small, with properties that vary as well.

    Germs tend to nest in certain organs in the body of the host.Some like the brain, the lungs, the intestines, nerves, kidneys, stomach, skin, or throat, and others. In the organs where it'sbreeding, certain bacteria cause infection. Typhoid germs in the intestines causing typhoid, TB germs in the lungs, but can also inbone, kidney, brain, and skin. Germs in the nerves and skinleprosy, diphtheria germs in the throat, tetanus in the nerves, and more.

    Initially, it was discovered penicillin type antibiotics, and sulfa,which is used to treat all infectious diseases. Now, had dozens and dozens of antibiotics has been found, both from the same family, as well as from newer types. Each antibiotic has its ownability to fight germs. That's because, every clump of bacteriahave antidotes specific individual. However, most antibiotics arecompletely impervious or broadspectrum. That is, all the germscan destroy it.

    In addition, there is also a type of antibiotic use is a narrow, specific only to certain germs. For example, antibiotics for TB germs (mycobacterium tuberculosis), for leprosy or leprosy(mycobaterium leprae), or for typhoid (salmonella tyhphi).
  2. When antibiotics are used?

    Antibiotics are used if there is an infection by germs. Infection occurs when bacteria enter the body. Germs enter the bodythrough its own entrance door. There are by mouth with food anddrink, breathe air into lungs, through microscopic wounds in the skin, through sexual intercourse, or enter through the bloodstream, then the germs into the organ that likes to nest.

    Common symptoms are usually accompanied by infected bodytemperature rises, fever, headache, and pain. Infection in the skincausing red inflamed reaction, swelling, heat, and pain.Examples ulcers. In the intestine, symptomatic heartburn, diarrhea. In the airways, coughing, sore throat, or shortness ofbreath. In the brain, headache. In the kidney, many of urination,urine red or like milk.

    However, symptoms of body temperature rises, fever, headache,and pain, can also not caused by germs, but infection by virusesor parasites. Of the complaints, symptoms and signs, the doctor can identify whether an infection caused by germs, viruses, orparasites.

    Diseases caused by bacteria not treated with antibiotics did not work. For the virus were given antiviral, and to be given antinyaparasites, such as antimalarial, antifungal, and anticacing. If the infection by specific types of germs, doctors usually giveantibiotics immediately in accordance with the infecting organism. For example boils on the skin, tetanus, diphtheria,typhoid, or red eye infection.

    To infection is doubtful, special inspection is required to ensure the type of infecting organism. You do this by doing culture (the culture) germs. Biakannya material taken from blood or saliva,sputum, urine, stool, cerebrospinal fluid, pus genitals, or skinscrapings.

    With cultured bacteria, in addition to find the type of bacteria, can be directly examined also the type of antibiotics are suitable toput it down (resistance test). Thus, treatment of the infection ismore appropriate. If not performed resistance tests, could beconsidered capable of antibiotics has no effect, because thebacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics that are considered potent type it.
  3. Why are more and more bacteria are antibiotic resistant?

    Use of antibiotics in developing countries often tend to behaphazard and uncontrolled. Antibiotics that can be bought freely,usage ignorance, and not used up completely, causing the generation of germs that become immune (resistant) to antibiotics that are used inappropriately and gratuitous. The use of antibiotics that are not spent, or make it up half a recipe, for example.

    The more frequent and much abused an antibiotic, the faster thegerms that cause immune ditumpasnya usual. Use of antibioticclass erythromycine the most numerous and widely used in thedecade of the 80s, a growing number of germs that gave birth togenerations of immunity. Then, created a new generation of the same family. Every few years, was born a new type of generationantibiotics to eradicate the kind of germs that are immune. Sure,the price is more expensive.
  4. What are the side effects of antibiotics?

    Like most drugs, antibiotics also have side effects respectively. There is a bad effect on the kidneys, liver, some are disturbing the balance of the body. Doctors know what the side effects an antibiotic, so it is not given to any patient. Patients with liver disorders, for example, should not be given antibiotics that damage the liver side effects, though powerful decontaminate patients who are suffering. Doctors need to choose other antibiotics, may be less potent, but no effect on the liver

    However, if an antibiotic is not no replacement, antibiotics are stillused, with notes, the danger of side effects in a patient requiresmonitoring by a physician, if used for long periods of time.Antibiotics for tuberculosis, for example, who drink at least 6months, need periodic liver function tests, so if it damages the liver, the drug considered to be replaced.
  5. What is the danger of overuse of antibiotics?

    The use of antibiotics that are too often not recommended. In our country, people are free to buy antibiotics and wear them when deemed necessary. A little cough and cold, direct drinking antibiotics. Once a new diarrhea, antibiotics immediately. Though not necessarily need. Why?

    Not necessarily the cough is caused by germs. Initially by the virus. If the condition of strong body, generally self-limiting viral disease. That needs to be done on the diseases caused by viruses is strengthen the immune system with enough to eat, rest, and nutritious food. Giving antibiotics in coughs colds are caused by a virus just a waste and harm the body, because the bear side effects of antibiotics that did not have to happen.

    The case of cough and cold virus that has long, which is usually ridden by germs, requiring new antibiotics to eradicate the bacteria, not for her flu virus. Sign of cough and cold needs antibiotics is to look at his nose. That had been turned into a watery clear viscous yellow-green. During his nose was thin nodes, antibiotics are not needed.

    Drinking antibiotics too often also disturb the balance of intestinal flora. We know, in the normal gut bacteria to grow which helps digestion and the formation of vitamin K. In addition, in certain parts of our body are also living germs benign peaceful coexistence with our bodies. In the female genitalia, in the skin, mouth, and everywhere there are body parts that do not interfere with germs but beneficial (symbiotic).

    Too often take antibiotics meant to kill all the germs that are beneficial to the body tame. If the population is beneficial in benign germ eradicated for the body, the body's balance of microorganisms can be disrupted, so that the fungus that had been frightened by the germs in our body the opportunity to more easily attack.

    That is, many people who after taking antibiotics is too long, then attacked by fungal diseases. Can fungi in skin, intestine, thrush in the mouth, or anywhere else. Fungus causes vaginal discharge in women, among others because of vaginal antisepsis too clean by killing beneficial bacteria in the vagina (Doderlein).
  6. How long should the consumption of antibiotics?

    Long use of antibiotics varies, depending on the type of infectionand infecting organism. At least 4-5 days. However, if the infection is still not finished, antibiotics should be continued untilthe complaints and symptoms disappear. In typhoid, took a few weeks. Similarly, on diphtheria, tetanus. Boards old ontuberculosis which took many months. Included in leprosy.

    In certain infections, the use of antibiotics after an exam,necessary to culture the bacteria re-examination to ascertain whether the bacteria are eradicated completely. Urinary tractinfections, for example, after the completion of one examantibiotics and complaint symptoms are gone, the bacteriaculture done to see what in the kidney remaining germs. If theremaining germs and antibiotic was discontinued, the infectiondisease will recur again.

    Included in dental infections. Toothache is usually caused bybacteria that enters through the gums and jaw bone is perforatedor porous teeth. In such circumstances, swollen gums and toothpain. Antibiotics are given until the missing tooth pain. Ifantibiotics are taken only a day or two, the bacteria in the gumsdo not die all, so the gum infection and tooth pain will recur again.
  7. Why can not antibiotics work?

    Antibiotics are not effective because of two things. Most often,the disease-causing germs have developed resistance to theseantibiotics. For it is necessary to find other types of antibioticsare more sensitive. Resistance tests are usually necessary to findthe right type of antibiotic.

    The second test was not done because the first resistance and directly administered antibiotics at random, so the possibility ofchoice antibiotikanya inappropriate for this type of germs that cause illness. Antibiotic is not effective against the infecting organism.

    We know there are types of gram-negative bacteria. For that we need antibiotics for this type of germ that. If given antibiotics forgram-positive bacteria species, certainly does not work, because the antibiotic is misdirected. Or it could be because the infection is not caused by germs, but by viruses or parasites. Mushroomsare not immune to skin ointment or cream antibiotics, for example.
  8. What does it mean antibiotics are hard?

    This means that unnecessary antibiotic from a new generation, ifthe classical antibiotics (penicillin group) is still working.However, for mild infections (flu), the latest generation are oftengiven antibiotics. In addition to much more expensive, the body was taking side effects are usually more severe. The more potentantibiotics, usually the harder the same side effects. Kill the fliesno need to use arrows, simply tap on. Similarly, for the infectionlightly. If possible, do not hurry using antibiotics. Our body has theantibodies. Each seedling disease, whatever its kind, whichenters the body, shall be destroyed by the immune system itself.The new body succumbs if seedling disease is very virulent,polynomial, and the immune system is weak.

    Not every time you entered germs, your body will fall sick. If the immune system primed, germs which have entered the body willfail to infect, and we are off sick. New infections generally occur when the body is weak. For that, need the help of an anti-sentfrom the outside. Anti submissions from outside that is played byantibiotics.
  9. Why people can faint after drinking or injected antibiotics?

    Occasionally, after a drink or injected antibiotics may faint.Certain people are allergic talented, are not generally resistant topenicillin group of antibiotics, either injected or taken orally. A fewminutes to several hours after an allergic reaction appear. Tasteis thick and itching on the lips, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, andfainting. If mild itching just like biduran. The reaction can causesevere blistering skin reactions, ulcerous-boils (Stevens-Johnsonsyndrome).

    For those who are gifted allergies, need to be tested first beforepenicillin group received an injection of antibiotics. If positive, do not be granted. Or if ever there is a history of itching after drinkingor injected antibiotics, make notes, so next time can alert your doctor if you can not stand these antibitioka. Now an allergic reaction to antibiotics is rare, because there are many choices of antibiotics that are superior to penicillin without risk of allergies.
  10. Are all the antibiotics just to be drunk?

    No. In addition in the form of oral medication (oral), there is alsoin the form of injection (parenteral), ointments, creams,suppositories (inserted into the anal canal or vagina), lotions, anddrops. Skin infections using an antibiotic ointment or cream,wearing a red eye infection eye drops or ointment, middle earinfections using antibiotic ear drops, antibiotics used white bullet-shaped bacteria that is inserted into the vagina (for those whoare married, not for who was a girl).

    Antibiotics streptomycine, garamycine, only in the form ofinjections, are not available in the form of tablets or capsules. In contrast, most antibiotics are taken is not necessarily exist in the form of injections. But, there is also a good antibiotic in the form of injections or a drink.

    Sprinkle antibiotic powder on the sore tooth cavity as is the custom while the person or the injury, not too precise. Effect of antibiotic penetration into the infected gum tissue is not as good as if drunk, or it could absorb the optimal as antibiotics that have been in the form of an ointment or cream if it is to be used on the skin.
