Emphysema

Let's look at several conditions that seem to respond especially well to H202 therapy. First, keep in mind that there are two methods of administering the peroxide-1) orally and 2) intravenously. While most conditions respond remarkably to oral ingestion, emphysema is one condition in which intravenous infusion can be a godsend. Emphysema involves destruction of the alveoli (the small air sacs in the lungs). Although chemical fumes and other irritants can cause the destruction, it is most often the result of smoking. As the disease progresses, the patient finds it more and more difficult to breathe. A wheel chair and supplemental oxygen become necessary as the disease progresses. Lack of adequate oxygen reaching the tissues forces the heart to pump more forcefully. This leads to high blood pressure, enlargement of the heart itself and eventually heart failure. Conventional medicine offers little help for emphysema. There is no cure. The best that can be hoped for is symptomatic relief and the prevention of any serious complications that might result in death. H202 therapy can offer more. Using 1 ounce of 35% peroxide per 1 gallon of non-chlorinated water in a vaporizer improves nighttime breathing tremendously. But intravenous infusion holds the real key to relief. It has the ability to cleanse the inner lining of the lungs and restore the ability to breathe.

Tips for Recovering From Depression

If you've had depression, you know how hopeless you can feel. It's important to get professional treatment. But there are things you can do to ease symptoms of depression. Exercise, changing your diet, and even playing with a pet can improve your mood. 

Let Your Pet Nuzzle Blues Away

Sometimes your pet really can be your best friend -- and that's good therapy. When you play with your pet, you take your mind off your problems. Also, when you take care of your pet you're fulfilling a commitment to something outside yourself. Caring for others can be very therapeutic.

Eat Smart to Lift Mind and Body

There's a connection between mind and body. Although there is no specific diet that works for depression, a healthy diet can be part of an overall treatment plan. Build your diet around plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to help boost your physical and emotional health.

Choose Foods to Boost Your Mood

Some studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B-12 may ease mood changes such as depression. Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids. So do flaxseed, nuts, soybeans, and dark green vegetables. Seafood and low-fat dairy products are good sources of B-12. Vegetarians who eat no meat or fish can get B12 in fortified cereals, dairy products, and supplements.

Try Low-Fat Carbs for a Pick-Me-Up

Serotonin is a brain chemical that enhances your sense of well-being. Carbohydrates - raise the level of serotonin in your brain. Low-fat carbs such as popcorn, a baked potato, graham crackers, or pasta are options. Vegetable, fruit, and whole grain options also provide fiber.

Drink Less Caffeine to Improve Mood

Do you really need that third cup of coffee? Anxiety can accompany depression. And too much caffeine can make you nervous, jittery, or anxious. So cutting back on soda, coffee, tea, and chocolate may make a difference in your mood. It can also help you sleep better at night.

Treat Your Aches and Pains

Feelings of depression can be related to pain. Work with your health care team to treat your depression and your pain.

Exercise to Change the Way You Feel

For some people, exercise works as well or even better than antidepressants. And you don't have to run a marathon. Just take a walk with a friend. As time goes on, increase activity until you exercise on most days. You'll feel better physically, sleep better at night, and improve your mood.

Be Sure You Get Enough Sunlight

Do you feel more depressed during darker, cold months? You may have seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. SAD is most common in the winter, when there's less sunlight. SAD can be treated with light therapy or exposure to artificial sunlight, antidepressants, and psychotherapy.

Explore Your Creativity

Painting, photography, music, knitting, or writing in a journal: these are all ways people explore their feelings and express what's on their mind. Being creative can help you feel better. The goal isn't to create a masterpiece. Do something that gives you pleasure. It may help you better understand who you are and how you feel.

Make Time for Mindful Relaxation

Stress and anxiety can increase your depression symptoms and make it harder to recover. Learning to mentally relax can help restore a sense of calm and control. You might consider a yoga or meditation class. Or you could simply listen to soothing music while you take a long, hot bath.

Get the Healthy Sleep You Need

Depression interferes with healthy sleep. Some people with depression sleep too much. Others can't fall asleep easily. As you recover from depression, relearn good sleep habits. Start by going to bed and getting up the same time each day. Use relaxation techniques to help you fall asleep. Healthy sleep makes you feel better physically and mentally.

Avoid Alcohol and Drugs

Alcohol and drugs can slow or prevent recovery from depression. They can also make your depression worse and interfere with the medicines you take for depression. If you have a problem with substance abuse, ask for help now. You'll have a far better chance of recovering from depression.

Continue Your Treatment

The steps outlined here may help you feel positive about your life. But alone, they're not enough. They won't replace medical treatment or talk therapy. Depression can be a serious illness, and it carries with it the risk of suicide and other distructive behaviours.
If you are thinking about suicide or your mood is negitively impacting your life, seek help immediately. And never stop or change treatment without discussing it carefully with your doctor.

Women's Health...."Uterine Fibroids", ..What are they? What are the symptoms? What is the risk? What can be done? From Milton M. Hershey Medical Center

Uterine Fibroids

Also known as: Myomas or Leiomyoms

What is it?

Uterine fibroids are tumors made of connective tissue and smooth muscle. They grow slowly within the wall of the uterus or attach to the uterine wall. Most fibroids are noncancerous, but in some rare cases they may become cancerous.


A uterine fibroid may be as small as a pea or as large as a grapefruit. As the fibroid grows, the uterus may become deformed or pushed aside. When the uterus is deformed or blocked by a growth, the resulting pressure may cause symptoms in the bladder or intestine, such as increased urination, constipation or pain.

Who gets it and what are its causes?

Fibroids rarely occur in women younger than 20. They occur most frequently in women in their childbearing years. As a woman approaches menopause, these tumors usually shrink.


The cause of uterine fibroids is not known, but it may be related to changes in estrogen levels. For example, pregnancy, use of birth control pills and estrogen replacement therapy may speed the growth of fibroids.

What are the symptoms?

Often there are no symptoms. When there are symptoms, they may be:

• Painful menstrual periods

• Heavy menstrual bleeding

• More frequent or uncomfortable urination

• Backache

• Constipation

• Pelvic pain or pressure

• Infertility

• Miscarriage

Diagnosis

Fibroids are usually found during routine pelvic exams. If you have severe menstrual symptoms or other pelvic problems, your health care provider may recommend an ultrasound scan or D&C (dilatation and curettage) to determine the cause of the problems.

Treatment

Most fibroids do not need treatment. Your health care provider will evaluate your condition and make a recommendation based on the amount of blood loss and pain during menstrual periods, the rate of growth of the fibroid, the absence or presence of cancer, your age, physical condition and your desire for more children.


Small fibroids that don’t grow usually have no lasting effects. If you have symptoms caused by growing or enlarged fibroids, the symptoms will probably continue until the growths are removed surgically, or until they begin to shrink and disappear after menopause.

Surgical Treatment

For fibroids that require treatment, your doctor may suggest a myomectomy, hysterectomy or a minimally invasive procedure called uterine fibroid embolization.


A myomectomy is a type of surgery used to remove the fibroids without harming the uterus. This type of surgery is preferred for patients who wish to maintain their childbearing potential or simply wish to retain their uterus. Myomectomy is considered by many to be more conservative treatment than hysterectomy because the uterus is preserved. Sometimes, however, the sheer number of tumors makes preservation a questionable goal. A myomectomy can be technically more difficult than a hysterectomy and can lead to greater blood loss.


In a hysterectomy, the surgeon removes the uterus. This surgery can be performed vaginally, abdominally or assisted by laparoscopy. It is usually simpler and may be less time-consuming than multiple myomectomy and entail fewer complications. Hysterectomy is often the procedure of choice when surgery for uterine fibroids is needed and childbearing years are complete.


Medication may be given two to three months before surgery to shrink the fibroid. This will make the operation easier to perform. Myomectomy and hysterectomy are performed by gynecologists.


In Fibroid Embolization, an interventional radiologist makes a small nick in the groin and inserts a catheter into an artery. The catheter is guided through the artery to the uterus while the interventional radiologist watches the progress of the procedure using a moving X-ray. Then tiny plastic particles the size of grains of sand are injected into the artery that is supplying blood to the fibroid tumor. This cuts off the blood flow and causes the tumor (or tumors) to shrink. The procedure takes approximately one hour and is performed while the patient is conscious but sedated – drowsy and feeling no pain. Studies are have not yet been confirmed about fertility. A recent study shows similar numbers of successful pregnancies comparing myomectomy and fibroid embolization.

Is This A Health Care Red Flag For US Policy?

There may be no need to feel guilty about putting off your annual trip to the gynecologist anymore! New guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists assert that healthy women should not get cervical cancer screening pap tests every year. Instead they encourage women to get the screening every two to three years. The medical group also recommends against getting a pap test until after the age of 21, even if an adolescent is sexually active.

What are the new rules for getting mammograms?

After commissioning two studies that reviewed the risks and benefits of breast cancer screening, the USPSTF announced changes to the current mammogram guidelines, which the same group instituted in 2002. For average-risk women, they recommend:

1-No routine mammograms for women ages 40 to 49
2-Every-other-year mammograms for women ages 50 to 74
3-No need for clinicians to teach women to do breast self-exams

The new recommendations against annual cervical cancer screenings are not intended to save you embarrassment or discomfort — they're meant to prevent unnecessary and possibly harmful treatments. For example, treatment of precancerous HPV symptoms that would otherwise go away on their own puts women at a higher risk of giving birth to a premature or underweight baby. Still, cervical cancer rates have dropped 50 percent since the 1970s mostly thanks to the pap test, so I hope the doctors aren't trying to fix something that isn't broken. But the authors of the guidelines explain that the same results can be accomplished with less-regular screenings.


I'll admit the idea that less screening can be better for your sexual health seems counterintuitive. Will you stick to your annual pap test or do you welcome a chance to get one less frequently?


Is this recommendation designed to protect our population’s health or is it the beginning of restrictions to cut services at the expense of early detection? Do we need clarification on this matter and if so should we hurriedly pass the bill that has been presented by the White House?

We need a better system of health care that provides everyone the health care that is necessary, at a cost that we can all afford. Is this a better solution? I for one have consistently been an advocate of universal health care from a humanitarian prospective but I am not sure that this “Change” that we are going forth with is the kind of change that we need. Again what will be the cost in terms of availability of services, or unavailability of services and money that would saddle us with an unprecedented National Debt that will affect our children and grandchildren?
