The Bad Side Of Dental Tourism

The high cost of dental care has forced many people to seek dental treatment elsewhere. This explains the growing popularity of dental tourism that is sweeping many parts of the world today. nnIn a nutshell, dental tourism involves traveling to another country for affordable dental care, treatment, and surgery. This is a common practice among many Americas, Canadians and Europeans who are looking for ways to save money on high-priced dental treatments that are normally expens

Oyster Can Give You Hepatitis A

From 1983 to 1989, the incidence of hepatitis A in the United States reached 58 percent. Some 35,800 cases were reported in the latter year. nnMany were foodborne-related outbreaks that occurred in Alaska, Florida, North Carolina, and Washington. The contaminants included, among others, an ice-slush beverage purchased from a convenience store and iced tea prepared by an infected intravenous drug user who made sandwiches and drinks in a restaurant.nnContaminated frozen strawbe

Jaundice Not Always A Sign Of Hepatitis A

Not all cases of jaundice are caused by hepatitis. The condition may be the result of hemolytic anemia, cancer of the pancreas, gallstones lodged in the liver duct, or a side effect of certain medications like erthromycin and sulfa drugs, antidepressants and anticancer drugs. nnFurthermore, even if you do have hepatitis A, the disease may be so mild that symptoms never appear.

Special Candy Helps Fight Tooth Decay

When it comes to dental health, candies are often a no-no.

Oral Antibiotics For Acne

Oral antibiotics like tetracycline do not work quickly against acne as they do against sore throats and earaches. It may take three to six weeks before your face shows any improvement. Eventually, you will have fewer pimples and reduced inflammation. nnOccasionally, acne bacteria develop a resistance to tetracycline, which explains why some people fail to respond to it.

Is Lithotripsy For You?

Newer machines have made the process of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) even simpler. They can be used without immersing the patient in a tub of water, and the latter can go home shortly afterwards. nnStill, some patients may not be suitable candidates for ESWL.

Shocking Solutions For Kidney Stones

Not all attacks of kidney stones are painful. Some people have them for years without feeling anything. In fact, it's not uncommon for stones to be discovered accidentally during a routine X-ray examination for another problem.nnBut it's hard to forget the pain that kidney stones bring.

What Makes Kidney Stones Painful?

Anyone who has had an attack of kidney stones rarely forgets the experience. It produces a sharp, stabbing pain that starts in the back, moves to the abdomen and later to the groin. nnThe pain is caused by the stone's journey from the kidney down to the ureter (the duct that carries urine to the bladder). Once it begins, ordinary painkillers can't stop it. nn"Of the one million or so painful attacks suffered each year in the United States alone, 300,000 are severe enough to r

How To Use Insulin

Previously, insulin was injected in the thighs, arms, or buttocks. Current medical opinion says the abdomen is a much better site since insulin is absorbed more consistently than when injected in other areas. nnTo avoid the scarring of fatty tissue that occurs with multiple injections, use different areas of the abdomen. This will ensure the correct absorption of insulin into the bloodstream. For more effective injections, Dr. David E. Larson, editor-in-chief of the Mayo Clin

Hypoglycemia: Fact Or Fad?

In recent years, quacks would like us to believe that hypoglycemia or low blood sugar can occur in non-diabetic individuals.

More Quack Cures For Diabetes

Quack cures for diabetes

Since many diabetics are ignorant about the disease, they may turn to quacks and their "miracle" cures without knowing that these could harm - if not kill - them.nnIn the 1930s, a popular remedy for diabetes promoted by the Kaadt Diabetic Institute turned out to be a worthless mixture of vinegar and salt pepper.

Syptoms Of Diabetes

In non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), which is also called type II, adult-onset, or stable diabetes, the body has enough insulin or even high levels of this hormone. The main problem is the body's resistance to insulin. nnInsulin receptors or cells that accept insulin don't function well or are in short supply. This usually occurs in overweight people over 40.

Treating Premature Ejaculation

Through the years, many solutions have been offered for premature ejaculation.
