			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The act of house-cleaning does not confine only to keeping the utensils, floors and tiles neat and hygienic; it also revolves around keeping mosquitoes and pests out of your house. It is because irrespective of your hard work on those usual chores, flies, rats, bugs, bacteria, etc easily a find a way to your homes. And they are deadly disease spreading creatures! So, what is the first step a lay man takes- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.healthyhomesandbody.com/br /">Pesticides</a>!</p>
<p>Pesticides and your home<br />
Basically chemicals, the pesticides are used to ward off or even kill pests from your home and surroundings. They help protect your abode from the gruesome mice and other rodents, viruses, insects, bacteria and wild weeds!  <br />
Holy! These rats and insects together have made my home a living hell! Its alright; go ahead and get those effective <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.healthyhomesandbody.com/br /">Pesticides</a>! home. </p>
<p>The most common ones you can go in for are:<br />
Sprays to kill pests such as ants, cockroaches, insects, etc<br />
Rat poison<br />
Repellent sprays and lotions for insects<br />
Sprays to get rid of unwanted weeds in your lawn<br />
Disinfectant cleaners to clean kitchens and homes<br />
Pet products such as powders, skin applications and collars to keep away fleas and ticks.</p>
<p>But wait hold it right there! <br />
Pesticides, though useful, can be very dangerous too. Remember, they are chemicals! Before you jump into those colorful bottles to discover your healthy home, look around for some natural pest control methods first.</p>
<p>Step one is to figure out the pests you need to deal with: fleas, flies, mice, weeds,? If other methods dont work out, it is wise to go in for pesticides for your family would be at risk with grave illnesses or diseases. But then here too, select a chemical that is least harmful to your beloved.</p>
<p>For the benefit for consumers, pesticides are labeled under three levels of risks: danger, warning or caution. The caution label is the ones you could opt for as they pose the least risk; the danger level ones pose big-time high levels of risk.  </p>
<p>Note that these levels refer to only the immediate risks such as pesticides spills on your skin or contact with eyes or swallowed. One must also consider the long-term risks held by these pesticides for they arent obvious. Do a little research on your requirement and read the ingredients of the pesticides before you opt for them.  </p>
<p>Quick short safety-tips, just for you!<br />
Avoiding the use of pesticides is near to impossible, but then one could always follow some caution and stay safe; least it might end up in a situation where, in the act of keeping homes safe, you get unsafe! </p>

Buy and utilize only what you need. It is wise not to leave them around in your homes carelessly, least your pets or kids might innocently be harmed by it.<br />
Ensure that kids, toys and pets are far away during its usage. Also store them out of kids reach; birth defects and cancer occurrence in children is on a rise.<br />

<p>And when you are done, clean up with soap and water; dont carry them around where ever you go! However, minimize the usage of pesticides as much as possible.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stomach ulcer symptoms are characterized by a burning sensation in the stomach, sometimes mistaken for heartburn. These symptoms can last anywhere from one half hour to several hours and may happen at any time. An ulcer is considered the breach over the surface of the skin or on the membrane on the lining a cavity such that stomach ulcer. A stomach ulcer is considered the small hole in the gastrointestinal tract. The most common type of ulcer is duodenal and this occurs in the first 12 inches of small intestine that is beyond the stomach. It&#8217;s not a new illness but the modern lifestyle makes the ulcer&#8217;s victims number grow each year. </p>
<p>There are also severe cases when the peptic ulcer causes serious problems, especially the perforation of the stomach or duodenum. A severe pain is caused and needs emergency treatment. A well known complication is the bleeding of the ulcer. Nowadays there are many tests that deals with the detection if there is any infection with H. pylori, needed in the diagnosis of the gastric or duodenal ulcers or even for stomach cancer.Through several methods we may see if a person has or has not peptic ulcer. One way is when too much acid and pepsin damages the stomach lining, which results in ulcers. And the second, more commonly way, is when the damage is first caused by some other means making the stomach lining vulnerable to even an ordinary level of acid and pepsin. </p>
<p>In some serious cases, surgery may be required to remove the ulcer. The most common type of surgery for ulcers is Vagotomy, where the vagus nerve, which transmits messages from the brain to the stomach, is cut. Other ulcer symptoms include poor appetite, severe indigestion, nausea and vomiting. In the case of more severe forms of the disorder, ulcer symptoms may include the presence of blood in the vomit and feces, dark-colored vomit of thick consistency, black stools, bloating, belching, fatigue, body weakness and dehydration. Natural cures are safer in terms of side effects, and much easier to take.</p>
<p>Stress creates too much acid in the body. Stress and a very poor diet will undoubtedly lead to stomach or digestive problems and many times this will lead to headaches, bilious or migraine headaches. After that the doctor will perform a physical exam to see if there are any signs of bleeding. A blood test is also required to see if you are anemic. The best means of preventing the progression of peptic ulcer are a healthy lifestyle and an appropriate diet. A good ulcer diet can ease the symptoms of peptic ulcer and can also keep the disorder under control. Ulcer diets should only contain non-acidic foods and beverages. A very common symptom of duodenal ulcer is the pain. This pain is in the upper abdomen just below the sternum (breastbone). This pain comes and then goes and mostly it occurs before meals or if you are hungry. Some time this pain so bad that it can wake you up from sleep. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>History of asbestos.</p>
<p>There are four main types of asbestos; Amosite (brown fibers), Anthophyllite (gray fibers), white Christie, and blue Crocidolite. Chrysotile has curly fibers while the other three have rod like fibers. These fibers fragment into dust quite readily and waft into the air. They can adhere to skin or clothing and are easily swallowed or inhaled.</p>
<p>Half a century ago, asbestos was hailed by many as a miracle product. They said nearly anything could be made from this mineral. It as used as an additive to reinforce mortar and plastics. Asbestos fibers can also be separated into fine threads that do not conduct electricity and are unaffected by heat or chemicals.</p>
<p>Use of asbestos drastically increased during World War II. Shipbuilding incorporated asbestos extensively in freighters and support vessels to insulate boilers, steam pipes and hot water pipes. Asbestos became the miracle construction material as it was readily obtained, processed, and transported. After WWII cars used asbestos in brake shoes and clutch pads. Asbestos found its way into residential and industrial building materials, water supply, sewage materials, ceiling and floor tiles, and vermiculite garden materials to name a few products.</p>
<p>In the 1970&#8217;s, following the discoveries of the health dangers of asbestos dust inhalation, the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission prohibited the use of asbestos in several products that could liberate asbestos fibers into the environment during use. Regulations governing the use of asbestos and public concern since 1970 have created a significant drop in the use of asbestos in the United States. The same pattern has been seen in most of the developed world.</p>
<p>In 1989 all new uses of asbestos were banned by the Environmental Protection Agency while any old uses before that year were still allowed. The EPA suggested that schools inspect for damaged asbestos and eliminate any exposure or enclose it in protective barriers. Vermiculite, widely used in horticulture, became a concern of the EPA . They recommended outdoor use, limiting the amount of dust used, and keeping vermiculite damp.</p>
<p>Health hazards</p>
<p>Asbestos may create serious health hazards such as coughing, lung damage, shortness of breath, and lung cancer. Most people do not become sick in the early stages of contact but usually need continued exposure. This often means on jobs such as mining, milling, manufacturing asbestos products, and the building construction industry. Firemen, demolition and destruction workers, drywall removers, and anyone else involved in trades that involve destruction of buildings, ships, and automobiles are also exposed to the hazards of asbestos.</p>
<p>Over a number of years continual exposure to asbestos can cause very serious health problems, such as mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a rare type of carcinoma of the membrane that lines numerous cavities of the body, including the lungs, abdomen and heart, and has been associated with exposure to asbestos dust. In mesothelioma, the cells of the mesothelioma metastasize and damage adjacent organs and tissues.</p>
<p>Mesothelioma may not develop for a long period of time, often as long as twenty-five or thirty-five years before full blown symptoms appear. Not all workers who have been exposed will develop diseases, but workers who have been exposed to it may bring fibers on their clothing, hair, shoes, and skin home to their families. To circumvent this risk, most industries require workers to bathe and change their clothing before they leave work.</p>
<p>Dietary advice for Mesothelioma patients</p>
<p>Doctors and nutritionists may recommend a special cancer diet because many mesothelioma patients tend to lose their appetites due to worry over their condition. Also, those who are undergoing treatment may choose not to eat because of the unpleasant side effects they may experience. Chemotherapy and some medications may cause an imbalance of nutrients that must be corrected in order to keep the body as strong as possible and to keep the patient from losing an excessive amount of weight. Other side effects of mesothelioma treatment can include nausea, vomiting, constipation,dry mouth and a change in the sense of smell or taste.</p>
<p>In our childhood we were all told to eat our vegetables. Forcing down cabbage and sprouts was supposed to make us bigger and stronger. Well, so it is for mesothelioma patients. Diet is often an overlooked subject for cancer patients, but eating the right nutritional foods for strength and energy is just as important as taking the proper medication.</p>
<p>Mesothelioma patients undergoing treatment must follow a special cancer diet devised by their nutritionists. The details of every patient&#8217;s mesothelioma diet will vary. Some patients will need to incorporate more fat into their diets, while others may need more protein. Cancer diets involve eating the correct amounts of protein and calories as well as drinking the right amount of water to keep the ailing body replenished and energized. The body needs plenty of nourishment when it is going through chemotherapy or even when the patient is taking certain medications.</p>
<p>It is important that patients devise a cancer diet under the guidance of their doctor and nutritionist to ensure that they obtain the proper amount of nutrients to improve their quality of life.</p>
<p>Protein is important for any cancer patient because it helps repair tissue damaged by surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Protein also helps maintain a strong and healthy immune system, lowering a mesothelioma patient&#8217;s risk of infection after aggressive cancer treatments. The National Cancer Institute recommends increasing protein in a cancer diet with cheese, milk, ice cream, yoghurt, eggs, nuts, peanut butter, meats and fish.</p>
<p>Fats are an essential part of the cancer diet because they supply the body with the necessary energy it needs while undergoing treatment. The amount of fats a cancer diet should consist of is dependent on a mesothelioma patient&#8217;s age and body size. The National Cancer Institute recommends increasing caloric intake with such foods as butter, milk, cheese, honey, sugar, granola and dried fruits.</p>
<p>Water is another essential component of the cancer diet. Without a significant amount of water, the body will dehydrate. It is important that anyone undergoing cancer treatment drink sufficient water to keep their bodies hydrated and replenished.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer is popular for the hot weather it brings and the sun&#8217;s strong rays. Going to the beach is common practice during this season. We&#8217;ve all heard about the negative effects of Ultraviolet Light on the skin. However, many of us are not aware of the good uses of UV light. In fact, when used in the right circumstances with the use of the appropriate technology, they can bring about a healthier environment for the entire family. In order to know what other functions Ultraviolet Light has, its composition must be understood first. The name Ultraviolet is due to the fact that this type of light belongs to much higher frequencies, in wavelengths that humans identify as violet hence, the name. It&#8217;s radiation with shorter wavelengths and is invisible to people. There are three classifications: the UV-A is a long wave, UV-B is a medium wave, and UV-C is a short wave. This last classification has a light spectrum with lengths of 254 nanometers. Its general function is in the control of pests found in the home and other food industry establishments. UV-C is also present in air conditioning units, furnace and heating systems. Air ventilation purification systems disinfect our beds through the elimination of dust mites. These microscopic organisms are responsible for many skin diseases and allergic reactions to inhabitants of the home. The UV lamp filtration systems have been clinically tested to reduce the number of dust mite population. Pathogen levels have significantly decreased after undergoing UV filtration. Even the deadly H5N1 bird flu and Swine Flu are successfully annihilated. Other products, like the HEPA purifier, are limited to sterilizing the air by eradicating bacteria. They are not successful in eradicating viruses.</p>
<p>Disinfection is the process of reducing populations of microorganisms while sterilization is the process of killing microorganisms. Sterilization occurs upon exposure to light that is 10,000 stronger than of the sun. This occurrence is temporary, bacteria can flourish again after some time.</p>
<p>400,000 micro-watts of UV Light are emitted by air purifiers. When covered, the wattage is reduced. Its intensity can also be affected by the purifier&#8217;s design, reflectivity, distance and lamp wattage.</p>
<p>Ultraviolet light ventilation, air purification and filtration systems are healthy and efficient options in the reduction of dust mite population, allergic reactions and the wide spread of infection in the household.</p>
<p>UV-C is not recommended for people who have cataracts or cancer because it can damage the eyes, if the have these conditions. Overall, UV light ventilation purification systems are the safest and best solution out in the market for combating mites and other pathogens in the home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cancer is a disease that causes cells to divide uncontrollably and even attack surrounding cells. Cancer cells are capable of spreading from the site of origin to other parts of the body via the blood and lymph system. </p>
<p>Cancerous cells grow and multiply to form tumors. All tumors are not strong enough to spread to other parts of the body. The ones capable of spreading are called malignant cancers. Some cancers like leukemia do not form tumors. Cancer doctors treat malignant tumors as soon as they are detected, else they can prove to be lethal. </p>
<p>Though the various cancer names stem from the site of origin, cancer doctors classify cancers in a different manner. Carcinoma is a cancer of skin or tissues lining or covering the internal organs. Sarcoma is the cancer of bone, fat, cartilage, blood vessels or connective tissue, whereas leukemia is the cancer of blood forming tissue. Lymphoma is the cancer that begins in the immune system and cancer that begins in the brain and spinal cord tissues is central nervous system cancer. </p>
<p>Causes</p>
<p>Smoking, though not the only cause, is definitely related to cancer of lungs, mouth, throat, bladder and kidney. Too much sun exposure and exposure to hazardous chemicals classified as carcinogens can cause melanoma, the cancer of skin and other cancers.</p>
<p>Radiation is also a cause of cancer. In very rare cases, radiation for one type of cancer can cause another cancer later in life. Heredity is another factor that causes cancer due to inherited genes. In very rare cases, skin cancer develops in burn scars many years after the burn injury has healed. </p>
<p>Prevention</p>
<p>Giving up tobacco and alcohol can help prevent not only certain types of cancers but many other diseases also. It is never too late to give up tobacco in all forms to reduce the risk of cancer. Skin cancer can be avoided by keeping away from strong sunlight and using adequate SPF. </p>
<p>Having less of red meat and processed meat is also helpful as cancer doctors have found that red meat like beef and pork and processed meat like bacon are related to cancer risks. Plan a healthy diet that keeps you fit and healthy as well as boosts immunity. </p>
<p>Regular screenings are also important. Women can conduct self breast examination regularly as well as get a Pap Smear test, especially if they have a family history of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.empowereddoctor.com/cancer1">breast cancer</a>,cervical cancer or ovarian cancer. </p>
<p>Treatment</p>
<p>The three main treatments available for cancer are surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. All of these are successful in removing cancerous tissues as well as eliminating the chances or recurrence, provided the cancer is detected well in time. There are some side effects of radiation and chemotherapy which are temporary and much easier to deal with than the cancer itself. </p>
<p>Other treatments for cancer include hormone therapy, bone marrow transplant and immunotherapy. These are generally given along with surgery to ensure faster healing.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The growing up years can be a tough time for a teenager, especially when youve got acne pimples to deal with. As if the stress of school, family, love life and what-have-yous arent enough, your skin sometimes just wont cooperate and youll end up having these painfully annoying bumps on the face. Worst of all, these acne pimples almost always show up at the wrong timesit could be before a big date, the prom or your graduation.</p>
<p>Pimple outbreaks are usually experienced by teens especially those who are undergoing hormonal changes as a result of puberty. The mistake that teenagers usually make is that they try to squeeze or pop a pimple, adding further damage and inflammation to the skin. One of the worst possible things that can happen is that these acne pimples will leave visible scars and marks on the face long after the bumps have gone.</p>
<p>But before you look into various kinds of treatments for acne, one must first look at the myths that have perpetuated the wrong information about acne. If youre a victim of acne breakouts, and you want to know the juicy details about these unwanted bumps, then its important for you to distinguish the myths from the truths.<br />
One wrong misconception about acne is that it only happens to teens. On the contrary, pimples may begin in the early years or people can develop it late in the cycle. There are actually people in late 20s or 30s who are still facing this problem. Another false belief is that acne is that pimples will go away with time. The truth is, adults way past their adolescent years are still experiencing the suffering caused by acne. Although it is much more common in the youth, acne doesnt choose any age and body area.</p>
<p>Acne is not necessarily related to your diet. People sometimes come up with a forbidden list of foods such as sugar, chocolate, nuts, carbonated beverages, greasy snacks, and milk that have been linked to the appearance of acne. Although the correlation of diet to acne hasnt been proven true, its always best to load up on food that is good for the body such as fruits and vegetables instead of the ones high in sugar and cholesterol.</p>
<p>Stop popping. Most teenagers have developed a habit of squeezing out pimples especially when its already ripe. Although it may make the acne pimples less noticeable, the practice of popping can actually aggravate the skin. There is a tendency for bacteria and oil to get clogged into the deeper layers of the skin when you squeeze those pimples.</p>
<p>Acne can be eliminated by sunbathing. Another misconception about acne is that exposure to the sun can cure the skin. However, although sun exposure has the effect of drying out excess oils, it doesnt necessarily control or prevent acne. There is always the possibility that sunbathing may actually cause more harm and more acne pimples because long exposure increases the chances of skin damage and cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Genital warts are gray growths visible on the surface of genitalia or the anus sometimes clustered together forming a pattern. It is a venereal disease affecting both males and females and it is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is a fairly complicated virus with many strains, but strain 6 and 11 causes over 90% of genital warts. Transmission is via sexual contact or skin contact during any sexual activity with an infected person whether oral, genital or anal sex. In women, the spread may go from the vagina up wards and may reach the cervix and the uterus.</p>
<p>In any society, the most sexually active age group of 25 to 35 suffers a great deal from this disease. Often these are people who rarely use any protection and are changing partners more often. It is also prevalent in those who engage in sex very early. It is a very contagious disease with over 65% chance of getting it from an infected partner after sex. The virus enters the body through minor tissue lesions or scratches during lovemaking. </p>
<p>More often the same virus propagates the development of cancer of the cervix, genital or the anus. Strains of this virus are many and each bears a responsibility of damage of one kind or another. This virus knows how to hide very well; it can hibernate for many years and remain infectious still. This disease can also be referred to as venereal, condylomata acuminata, anal or anogenital depending on where it has landed. In men, the symptoms appear on the anus, penis, and scrotum or on the thighs. No records so far have indicated any growth around the mouth for anyone who has had oral sex.</p>
<p>The disease has no cure, but what is available is mainly for suppression. Surgery may be employed to remove the ugly patched growth sometimes with temporary success. It may even become complicated especially in women because of the nature of their genitals. The virus is rampant in some quarters and disturbs women more than men. For many reasons, the disease can spread quietly in society without detection because of poverty and inability to access medical support.</p>
<p>Unlike other infections that put patients down, this disease has been known to get eradicated via natural body immunity whether treated or not. Some strains of this virus have a higher risk of developing cancer and in fact, it is the main causative agent of cancer of the cervix. Upon diagnosis, the patient should be put on medication immediately before it spreads far. Males too suffer; cancer of the penis is there and if not attended to early, it may expand and grow internally rendering the shaft useless.</p>
<p>Vaccines are available for all people under 30; this is fully tested and approved. It is administered in three shots for a period of less than a year. As usual, vaccines do not offer any protection to those already infected; therefore, prevention is better than cure. For those who may find themselves victims, it is good to do a check up to confirm if there are any other STDs. All kinds of topical creams and ointments are available for all sexes.</p>
