Don't Let Cancer Scare You To Death!

Don't Let Cancer Scare You To Death!
Don Spears, a New Orleans native and a 22-year-cancer
survivor, helped four African-American male friends of New
Orleans tell their story in a memoir, You Have Cancer: A
Death Sentence That Four African-American Men Turned Into
an Affirmation to Remain in the "Land of the Living." At a
time that could have been viewed as the darkest moment in
these men's lives, they took a stand against this dreaded
disease and penned their story in order to shine a
spotlight on the devastation that cancer is causing in the
African-American community.

It is too often that when a patient hears the words, "You
have cancer," the patient gears his or her mind toward the
"DEATH SENTENCE" without thought of an appeal—but not
in the case for these four men.

You Have Cancer reveals how four best friends grew up in
the same neighborhood, went to the same school, went to the
same church, and suffered from the same dreaded disease at
the same time—cancer. Black men seldom speak about
sickness. These four friends (Ronal Bazile, Ellis Brossett,
Preston Edwards & Benjamin Priestley) re-forged their
friendship and leaned on each other's shoulders for
strength. They affirmed to each other to fight this disease
together and to not become scared to death.

Timing is everything when it comes to a life-saving
message. And the time for this topic is now! The America
Cancer Society estimates there would be 152,900 new cancer
cases among African-Americans in 2007 and 62,780 cancer
deaths. These men believe that 62,780 preventable deaths
are unacceptable. We are talking about somebody's father,
brother, husband, child who didn't have to die.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death. It is time to
take the Big "C" out of the closet and expose all of its
mysteries. The following are a few facts about
African-American men and cancer:
1.) African-American men have the highest cancer incidence
and death rate.
2.) While the American Cancer Society recently reported
that death rates from cancer have been declining, the
cancer death rate is still 38 percent higher for
African-American men compared to white men.
3.) African-Americans have the shortest survival rate of
any race or ethnic group.

With the double whammy of awareness and action, we can beat
cancer now! The authors state, "We share our deeply
personal experiences with the hope of saving lives by
encouraging other African-American men to be proactive via
visiting their doctors for regular checkups and cancer
screenings.

This is not a pity-party book, but instead, it's a book of
stories that will uplift and inspire cancer patients to
"dance," rather than to sit it out. It provides coping and
survival skills for their caretakers and their loved ones.
This book provides the latest information and resources to
combat cancer. Believe me, this is not a book you want to
miss.

How To Overcome Any ADD-related Setback

How To Overcome Any ADD-related Setback
It doesn't matter if you were diagnosed with Attention
Deficit Disorder (ADD) years ago or just recently. When
you've lived a life with adult ADD, you've no doubt
encountered many setbacks.

The "wiring" of adult ADD makes it difficult to become and
stay organized, concentrate when necessary, and manage time
and projects effectively, among other things. You've
probably tried to improve upon at least one of these areas
many times in your life with little or no success.

Standard advice and strategies for things like organization
and time management don't always work for adults with ADD.
"Help" that comes from someone or something (like a book)
that doesn't take your ADD into account can be worse than
no help at all because, if you are unable to make the
advice work for you, it feels like failure. It feels like
there is something wrong with you. It's yet another setback
after trying really hard to make the wrong advice work.

And even when you do find good help from an ADD coach,
therapist, or resource, change and improvement don't always
come as quickly as you'd like. It takes time to overcome
years of working against your ADD. Learning new patterns
and strategies is a process. Feeling like you're finally on
track doesn't mean that you won't experience setbacks. You
will. Everyone does. It doesn't mean that you've failed.

The real challenge is not learning the new, ADD-friendly
patterns and strategies, because that can be done. The real
challenge is moving beyond the inevitable setbacks.

Setbacks have a tendency to lower your self-esteem. And low
self-esteem can rob you of the motivation you need to make
improvements and stay on track.

The best way I know to overcome a setback--in any area--is
to build success in another area. Here are some examples:

If you experience a setback in your organizing goals, then
you might choose to work on maintaining an exercise routine.

If you experience a setback in time management, then you
might choose to work on strengthening a friendship.

If you experience a setback in getting 7 or 8 solid hours
of sleep each night, then you might choose to focus on
making healthy meal choices.

It really doesn't matter which area you choose to build
success in, as long as you choose something that you know
you can make progress in. Success in any area will pump up
your self-esteem. Then, when you feel good about your
success and accomplishments again, you'll have the
necessary energy and motivation to pick up where you left
off when you experienced that setback.

Setbacks don't have to lead to failure. Setbacks can be
temporary. You can overcome any ADD-related setback by
building your self-esteem.

Stress and Your Whole Body Detox

Stress and Your Whole Body Detox
One of the biggest enemies to any body detox program is not
the air that you breathe or the toxins you ingest. What is
it, you ask?

Stress. That's right. Stress is Natural Body Detox Enemy
#1. Why?

Your body is in such an agitated state that your immune
system has to work harder to fight off infection. It gets
tired of being overworked and underpaid, and weakens.
That's why so many healthy people get sick when they get
stressed. Workaholics know what I'm talking about. Being
in a constant state of stress also puts them in a constant
state of sickness. Your whole body detox doesn't need the
added stress, pardon my pun.

The higher adrenaline levels produced from being stressed
also affects your digestive system. It simply tires it
out. This is why when you feel stress hunger is usually
not part of that. This can have long-term negative effects
which hinder any natural body detox. Over time, your
digestive system is going to produce less of its enzymes,
which in turn lower your body's ability to get rid of and
process all those nasty little toxins you ingest.

These high levels of hormones and chemicals your body pumps
out in response to stress contain free radicals, which, as
many of us know, make you more suceptible to cancer and are
the nemesis to any whole body detox.

So when you are on a body detox program, be sure to take
stress seriously and find ways to alleviate it so you're
not sabotaging all the good work you're doing. What should
you do to alleviate stress during a natural body detox?

1. Take a bath. Baths are a wonderful way to release
stress and purify yourself at the same time. Try doing a
bentonite clay bath, adding epsom salt, or a vinegar bath
to double duty bathtime and make it a detoxifying as well
as a relaxing experience.

2. Breathe deep. When we are stressed, we usually begin to
rush. Our heart rate goes up and we begin talking a mile a
minute. Sit quietly for a couple of minutes and breathe
deeply, focusing on the rising and falling of your stomach
with each inhalation and exhalation. Which leads us to the
next tip...

3. Meditate. In addition to deep breathing, meditation
forces us to slow down. You may want to try using a guided
meditation CD if you have trouble focusing. It all starts
with paying attentiion to your breath.

4. Exercise. A moderate amount of daily exercise helps keep
you balanced. Stress will be easier to handle when you are
healthier. Try taking a walk after dinner or first thing
in the morning.

5. Get adequate rest. Like exercise, getting enough sleep
at night is key to how you handle your day. Allow yourself
at least eight hours to sleep each night. If you don't
have enough time for that, it's time to change your
priorities.

Following the above tips will not only help during a
natural body detox but help keep you healthier and happier
the rest of the time, too.

Overseas Plastic Surgey

Overseas Plastic Surgey
I recently was asked to see a patient in a hospital
emergency room to take out sutures from a facelift that she
had done in Mexico. While she suffered no terrible
complications, the cosmetic outcome was certainly not what
I would have considered acceptable here in Indianapolis.
The incisions were poorly placed around her ears and her
hairline had been pulled up high into her temple area.
Seeing her brings to light a somewhat disturbing trend that
is evident nationally, particularly in the southern border
states, but is also prevalent on the internet as well.The
number of patients going overseas for plastic surgery and
the solicitation to do so on the internet, promoting low
prices and a 'vacation-like' experience.

Historically, going overseas for surgery is not new but has
been done in the past to seek out operations or treatments
that were not available in the U.S. This new overseas trend
is solely based on discounted price. Having traveled the
world extensively and both met and operated with many
international plastic and maxillofacial surgeons, I know
there are many fine plastic surgeons around the world doing
great work. However, in the interest of saving money, I am
amazed how many people would naively disregard some of the
basic tenets of choosing a plastic surgeon and surgery
center. Important criteria such as board-certification,
professional reputation, and the quality and track record
of the facility where surgery will be performed can not
possibly be assessed without a prior visit or consultation.

But these issues aside, overseas surgery brings up several
extremely relevant issues that most patients have not even
thought of:

1) What happens in the event of a surgical complication?
Who is going to take care of it? Fortunately, in elective
plastic surgery, this is usually a postoperative problem so
you would be home by then. Who would you go to locally? And
any plastic surgeon seeing you here is not going to take of
for free a complication from someone else's surgery.
2) In the event of a complication during or right after
surgery overseas, will your health insurance provide
coverage in a foreign country? Does your health insurance
policy extend beyond the U.S. borders?
3) Will you really be saving a large amount of money by
going overseas? When you factor in the cost of air travel
and local accommodations before and after your surgery, you
may not find it such a bargain. Know all costs before
proceeding. The 'sticker price' may not reflect all costs
involved.

While saving money on plastic surgery overseas can be
enticing, cosmetic surgery performed by an unqualified
surgeon or in a setting that is not safe can risk your
health and result in unappealing outcomes. Doing your
research is never more important than when you leave the
more highly regulated state of medical affairs in the U.S.

Applying First Aid Tips For Burns

Applying First Aid Tips For Burns
How to Treat Burns

There are many ways people can get burned. You can get
burned by accident by walking too close to a candle, or you
get burned while you are cooking dinner. Someone in your
home can get burned and you need to know what to do in case
you are called upon to treat a burn. Every mom and dad
needs to know how to treat burns. The first rule of thumb
in how to treat burns is not to panic.

If you are caring for someone who has been burned be
reassuring. The one rule of thumb in how to treat burns is
to cool the burn. Panicking is the last thing you want to
do, because the victim needs to believe you know how to
treat burns. People who are burned may be very irritable;
try to be their source of comfort. Don't ask them if they
are in pain; you know they are. Burns hurt. The only burns
that don't hurt are third degree burns, which are medical
emergencies. If you are the person to take charge of a
situation where someone is burned, assess the situation and
act accordingly. If the burn is severe enough to warrant
emergency care, dial 911.

How do you know the severity of a burn?

Part of knowing how to treat burns is knowing how to judge
the severity of the burn injury. You will need to know how
to classify what degree of a burn you are treating. First
degree burns red and there may also be swelling present.
The skin is not broken; only the top layer of skin is
burned. There is no blistering in a first degree burn.

Second degree burns are more serious than first degree
burns because there is blistering. The epidermis (outer
layer) and the dermis (inner layer) of skin are burned.
Fluid leaves the cells of these layers and collects between
the two layers which cause blistering. A second degree burn
is characterized by blistering and severe pain. A large
area of skin involved in a second degree burn is serious
enough to need emergency care. Part of knowing how to treat
burns is realizing when outside medical care is necessary.

Calling 911 for emergency medical care is the first step in
how to treat third degree burns. Get help on the way and
then deal with the victim. Be calm yourself and do not do
or say anything to upset the victim any more than he/she
already is. Watch for signs of shock. If the victim looks
pale and becomes cold and clammy shock is setting in. Get
the victim to the floor and elevate his/her feet and legs
above the heart. Shock is a medical emergency and treating
shock is an important part of how to treat burns.

With third degree burns the victim may be alert and
oriented, and he/she may say they are not hurting. The
victim may fight against going to the hospital because of
the absence of pain. You must follow through with getting
emergency care for this victim. Explain to the victim there
is no pain with third degree burns. Place cool moist towels
over the burned area, or pour cool or tepid water over the
burn if possible. Continue cooling the wounds until
emergency medical personnel come to take over.

The Real Secret To Losing Weight The Weight Loss Industry Doesn't Want You To Know

The Real Secret To Losing Weight The Weight Loss Industry Doesn't Want You To Know
If you have had trouble losing weight or you keep hitting a
plateau in your weight loss efforts, you will want to read
this article.

I am going to discuss THE most important factor involved in
our weight struggles.

You probably haven't heard it before because there is not a
lot of profit to be made from it. You see, you can be on
the most advanced weight loss program ever created but it
doesn't matter one iota if you have blocks in your
subconscious mind to losing the weight you want to lose. It
simply won't happen.

Simply put, if you are having trouble reaching your weight
loss goals, you can be sure there are subconscious blocks
that are standing in your way.

Many of us have subconscious advantages or reasons to
keeping our current weight and disadvantages for achieving
our ideal weight.

I know it sounds silly but a good example would be someone
who has been really hurt by someone they were romantically
involved with and they subconsciously keep the extra weight
knowing that they won't put themselves in that situation
again. It is a protection mechanism.

They may have thoughts under their awareness that says "if
I achieve my ideal weight, I may be more attractive which
will put me in situations that I can get hurt" Again, this
is all under the awareness.

This example may or may not resonate with you but there are
several programs out there that teach you how to pull up
whatever blocks are in the way that are keeping you at your
current weight and preventing weight loss from becoming
effortless.

That is where it's at. Affirmations, visualization, The Law
Of Attraction etc will not work if there are counter
intentions in your subconscious mind.

In fact, what I have found is that when you release the
subconscious blocks to losing the weight you want,
affirmations and visualizing what you want all the time
becomes unnecessary and heading towards your ideal weight
becomes much more natural rather than something you have to
force to make happen.

Here's another scenario: Have you ever made a New Years
Resolution to lose weight only to get back to your current
habits six weeks later? So have I. We make a goal to lose X
amt of pounds and then we find it really hard to keep going.

That wall that we hit upon is called subconscious
resistance. It is like driving with the brake on. In any
area of your life that requires will power and effort and
struggle, you are coming up against a wall of resistance.

Unfortunately, the movie The Secret didn't talk about this.
Dissolving subconscious blocks, especially resistance, is
paramount to losing the weight or for anything you want in
life for that matter.

There are various methods that teach you how to let go of
resistance on the spot. Once we let go of our resistance to
eating well, to exercising etc., doing these things become
effortless.

Obviously, action is required, but that action becomes
effortless in the sense that we are taking off the brake
and just hitting the gas so we easily move in the direction
we want.

Letting go of the garbage in your subconscious mind is the
real secret to losing weight...or anything else for that
matter.

This may be the first time you have heard this because if
everyone knew this secret, the multimillion-dollar weight
loss industry would go bankrupt!

Thank you for taking time to read my article. I hope you
enjoyed it as much as I did writing it

Acne and Psoriasis ,Eczema Treatments and Eliminating Acne Scars

Acne and Psoriasis ,Eczema Treatments and Eliminating Acne Scars
For the people that have had to endure the effects of
Acne and Psoriasis, the scars that are left behind from
acne can often be as burdensome as the acne itself.
These scars or pockmarks come in different shapes, and
have their own particular category of identification.The
scars are caused by tissue loss, and over production of
collagen that form in to a coarse sinewy mass. One of
these skin deformations is called icepick, and is
identified as sharp narrow marks with the skin taking on
the appearance of having been punctured many times with an
icepick leaving lots of little surface holes, which often
extend deep into the skin tissue.

Boxcar is a term given to this pockmark that can take on
the form of crater shaped depressions in the skin, and can
be shallow or deep and occur mainly on the cheeks.
Pockmarks on the skin that take on a rolling or undulating
form and texture, are the consequence of sinewy folds in
the to the subcutaneous tissue below the skin. Like many
other skin defects of this type, they respond well to
particular acne scars cream , especially a acne scar
natural treatment that does not contain any harsh
chemicals, and is gentle to the skin . Such a
combination does now exist, using non irritating marine
derived anti inflammatory ingredients that is very
effective for not just to repair acne scars ,but for
eliminating acne scars as well . Another skin problem is
dermatitis or also know as eczema, which is an irritating
inflammation. Typical symptoms of this problem skin are
very itchy patches of cracked skin, that are dry with
redness, and swelling accompanied by a strong rash.
Although Eczema can appear on any part of the body it most
often occurs on the face,hands, backs of knees, elbows,
joints.When it presents itself on the joints the skin can
become cracked ,dry and because of the joint movements,
will bleed which can lead to even more pain irritation and
distraction. In this respect it is similar to psoriasis,
but the outward appearance of psoriasis is often much more
distressing and severe.

When looking for effective eczema treatments and scalp
eczema regimens, it is important to look for a product
with natural ingredients that will contain an effective
moisturising agent to combat skin dryness. Also bear in
mind the side effects from the application of steroid
based lotions and creams. Such symptoms of concern are
thinning of the skin,which can in turn lead to an increased
likelihood of making the skin more weak, absorbent and
easier for steroid molecules to gain entry to the deeper
tissues, or blood stream and cause further damage within .
Seeking a natural effective product for your skin problem
will be the sensible safer option.

Why Core Fitness is Important

Why Core Fitness is Important
If you've listened to the buzz around the fitness world
lately or perused the latest workout books, you've probably
heard the experts referencing core fitness in some shape or
form. Traditionally, strength training has been dominated
by exercises focused on isolating the muscles of the arms
and legs. In fact, if you look at many of the weight
machines that have become popular in modern gyms, you'll
notice that they require you to sit or recline while you
use them.

While these machines will effectively help you build the
muscles that they target, the problem is that, in real
life, we don't use our muscles that way. We lift a box from
the floor to a shelf, swing a golf club, push our children
on the swing set, or climb a rock wall. In fact, the vast
majority of the things we do require all of the muscles in
our bodies to function together and be coordinated through
our mid-sections, or our "core."

While those activities may make the use of core muscles
seem very obvious, this area, made up of the muscles of our
midsection, are actually responsible for quite a few of the
more subtle functions as well, including posture, balance
and stability.

A weakened core will often result in poor posture and
stability, yet we don't necessarily feel the results of it
in areas that show us a direct cause and effect
correlation. For example, poor posture, due to a weakened
core, might allow our hips to slip out of alignment
resulting in knee pain. In fact, quite a few of the chronic
muscle and joint pain issues that Americans are suffering
with today stem from a weakened core.

It is no wonder, then, that exercise science has taken a
dramatic shift in recent years to include the core in
strength training regimes. Now, rather than using a machine
to first exercise your legs and then your arms, trainers
are suggesting that their clients use free weights or bands
to combine exercises such as a squat to overhead press. By
linking the two, people are forced to transition the
exercise movement through their core, and the core muscles
in turn help to maintain good posture throughout the
exercise. The end result is that we are exercising in a
fashion that mimics the movements that we use in everyday
life, while creating better posture and increasing our
stability and balance.

The Gifts And Benefits Of Myrrh

The Gifts And Benefits Of Myrrh
The role of myrrh in the traditional Christmas story is
well known, but the many benefits of this powerful herbal
compound perhaps less so. Yet myrrh is far from being just
an expensive gift of Kings in a long ago time. It has been
used for several thousand years as a potent weapon in the
battle against various types of infection, including
bacteria, viruses and fungi. Myrrh is also an
anti-inflammatory and appears to act as a general stimulant
for the immune system.

The name myrrh is believed to be derived from the Arabic
"Mur", meaning bitter, and is sourced from the branches of
a number of different small trees or shrubs native to parts
of East Africa, the Middle East and the Indian
sub-continent. The branches release a richly aromatic
resin-like substance which has been highly prized in these
Eastern regions since ancient times and was used as a
perfume, herbal medicine and embalming agent amongst many
other functions.

Most important of these, however, was its use as an
antiseptic agent, particularly in the treatment of infected
wounds. The antiseptic action of myrrh is believed to be
partly due to its stimulating the immune system to produce
infection fighting white blood cells, but myrrh may also
act directly as an anti-bacterial agent.

Myrrh also combats infections of the chest and respiratory
system, including common coughs and colds, by helping to
clear the congestive mucus which is responsible for much of
the misery caused by these illnesses. Sufferers from more
serious problems such as sinusitis, asthma and even TB have
also found some relief through the use of myrrh because of
this powerful internal cleansing action of the herb; an
action which advocates of the benefits of myrrh also claim
to be effective in the intestines and digestive system;
cleansing the colon in particular.

Myrrh is also believed to stimulate the blood flow and
muscular action necessary for effective digestion, and
there is developing evidence that it may help with general
cardiovascular health, as a protection against
atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and in the
prevention of clots in circulating blood.

But the benefits of myrrh are not confined to the internal
organism. Applied directly to infected areas it has been
shown to be particularly effective in combatting oral
problems such as mouth ulcers, gingivitis and other gum
diseases, toothache and sore throat, and is used as an
anti-bacterial agent in some proprietary mouthwashes and
toothpastes. As an anti-fungal, myrrh is also used by
herbal practitioners to alleviate the symptoms of such
infections as thrush, herpes, candida and other yeast
infections.

And as if all of the above were not enough, ancient Indian
medicine claimed that the benefits of myrrh included
enhanced intellectual powers and even aphrodisiac
qualities. But it is not necessary to accept all of the
more extravagant claims made for the herb; it's enough
merely to be mindful that the many potential benefits of
myrrh make it well worth considering as a supplement when
tackling the ailments mentioned above, or when a general
tonic and stimulant is required.

For mouth problems it can be added as a tincture to water,
to make a powerful antiseptic mouthwash, or applied
directly to the affected areas. For more general problems,
or as a pick up, myrrh may be taken as capsules, the
recommended dose normally being around 300mg.

Myrrh is a potent substance, comprised of numerous active
compounds, and this recommended dose should not therefore
be exceeded except under the direction of a suitably
qualified and experienced herbalist. Myrrh is
contraindicated, moreover, for pregnant women, those
suffering from kidney problems and diabetics.

With these caveats, however, myrrh may be regarded not only
as one of the wonders of the ancient world, but as a modern
boon which is well worth a place in your home.
