What is an Anal Fissure?

 

 

 By Yolanda Smith, BPharm

An anal fissure is a tear or ulcer in the lining of the anal canal, the final part of the large intestine, starting from the rectum above and ending at the anal orifice. Anal fissures are relatively common, and are estimated to affect 1 in 10 people at some point throughout their lifetime.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an enlarged prostate. The prostate goes through two main growth periods as a man ages. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. The second phase of growth begins around age 25 and continues during most of a man's life. As you age, your prostate may get larger. Benign prostatic hyperplasia often occurs with the second growth phase.

Scientists edge closer to creating effective Zika virus vaccine

Scientists have edged closer to an effective Zika virus vaccine after demonstrating that three different formulations can protect monkeys from the disease.

The results suggest that the virus can be repelled by even low levels of immunity and have boosted confidence that a viable vaccine for humans is on the horizon.

Assessing Your Weight

A high amount of body fat can lead to weight-related diseases and other health issues and being underweight can also put one at risk for health issues. BMI and waist circumference are two measures that can be used as screening tools to estimate weight status in relation to potential disease risk. However, BMI and waist circumference are not diagnostic tools for disease risks. A trained healthcare provider should perform other health assessments in order to evaluate disease risk and diagnose disease status.

Ringing in the ear?

Do you ever experience a buzzing or ringing in your ear, or perhaps hear a noise that you know isn't really there?


That sensation is a real medical condition called tinnitus, in which people hear noise -- commonly characterized by ringing, hissing, clicking or buzzing in the ears -- but no external sound is present. It is often accompanied by hearing loss, but not always.

THE FAILURE OF TRADITIONAL (ALLOPATHIC) THERAPY

The three approved methods of cancer treatment in the U.S are currently surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. And, in a typical hospital environment, these are all that exist as far as you are concerned. (Like I said in the last lesson, a medical practitioner could lose his license should he recommend any "unapproved" alternative therapy to the patient).

However, there are better, safer and more effective protocols to apply, if you truly want to rid, or prevent yourself from getting cancer. I am not telling you to forego traditional therapy, but, taking a quote directly from Robert, "... These are what I will do if I had cancer."
