is associated with cold, cold is a disease that can have at any time of year at any age. Infection is one of the most typical and there are few who can boast of not having had any in recent months.

In fact, statistics say that an adult suffers two to five colds per year, ranging between four and ten children. With this data, “in Spain would mean a total 80 million colds a year,” reflects the National Study on Vicks cold. Therefore, we must know what we face and how to prevent and reduce symptoms.

A viral disease
when you suffer a cold, the main areas affected are the nose, which suffers mucus, and throat, often irritated and cause discomfort and alterations in voice. Although there are a number of viruses such as rhinovirus or coronavirus that stand, this disorder may be due to more than 200 different viruses. “This is what makes it impossible to have an effective vaccine to protect them,” said the report.

The most visible symptoms when colds are mild discomfort usually fall into the upper airways such as coughing, difficulty breathing through the nose, throat irritation, sneezing, watery eyes, decreased sense of smell, hoarseness, and sometimes can lead to headache or fever, without reaching the severity of flu. These symptoms usually last an average of three or five days, depending on the person.

although experts agree that colds are much less contagious than the flu, follows a series of measures to avoid infecting people around us if we are cold. “The cold virus transmission is through droplets of saliva that are expelled while talking, coughing or sneezing, first affecting the cells of the airways,” say the specialists. To avoid extreme we always cover our health and our well’s mouth when sneezing or tosamos.

• How to relieve the symptoms?
When an infection caused by a virus, there are no medications that can cope and we can only follow a few basic recommendations to try to lessen the symptoms and that they affect as little as our quality of life. Following this, you must be very clear that self-medication is strongly discouraged, much less come to antibiotics as a remedy without consulting your physician.

You can enlist the help of nasal sprays or mints sold in pharmacies, which help relieve nasal mucus and ease sore throat. Experts also suggest hydrate your body with fluids, both water and hot tea and soups. Another solution is to use humidifiers for the environment, facilitating the excretion of mucus.

On the other hand, we should avoid alcohol and snuff, and a balanced diet full of vitamins, and try to escape from stress as it affects our immune system and can weaken it and make it more vulnerable. Similarly, experts advise against the cold and sudden temperature changes and go for walks as much as possible to enable our circulatory system and our defenses.

In addition, we can help make home remedies and steam inhalations of eucalyptus to clear nasal passages, gargle with salt water to relieve sore throat and take garlic, which is proven to help fight germs. Finally, we can afford a hot bath to relax we get home and can be very effective to clear the nose

Female rock water, better known by its English name rock water, belongs to the excessive concern for others. It is the remedy that Dr. Bach found “for people who are very strict in their way of life. They refuse many joys and pleasures of life because they feel they can interfere with their work. They are masters of themselves severe. They want to be healthy, strong and active and will do anything they think they can keep that. They expect to be captivated by the example for others to imitate their ideas and later as a result become better. ”

Is related to the soul qualities of resilience and inner freedom. It is the unique essence of the whole system is not a flower, but water from spring’s undeveloped nature to which the inhabitants of the area attributed healing properties since ancient times. At present, these half-forgotten sources between trees and grasses, exposed to sun and wind, are still in many parts of England.

A lifestyle severe and strict
Rock Water is used in those mentally very inflexible and severe with themselves. In fact they would like to be a role model for others because they think their lifestyle and their ideas are ‘on track’. They are treated harshly and in the same way they treat others. Do not make any concession or permit the joy or pleasure make presence in your life. For them, this attitude is a kind of self-sacrifice that must be maintained to stay on ‘the right side of life. ”

Unlike vervena characters, types of rock water never try to impose their own ideas to a partner, because they are convinced that their view of life is correct and not “waste time” trying to convince others. Rather, with some presumption, tend to a very subtle intellectual arrogance that leads to ‘compassion’ of others thinking something like “! How lucky I am right”.

the intake of the flower helps people to balance their emotions, allowing your natural joy of life and peace of mind to become, now, a model for others. His natural idealism surfaces, together with a real ability to adapt to new theories and principles that enable them to compare them they already had and reach a deeper understanding of things.

Like other essences, rock water has certain similarities with other flowers that could lead to error when choosing them for our compositions. That’s the difference between the two:

Rock water: would like to feel superior in intellectual and often makes this exhibition. Inside is stubborn and too focused on his own improvement.

Water violet, is usually superior to others in the intellectual field. Too often exaggerate their tolerance and nearly exceeds his respect for the individuality of others. I want to be left in peace.

Our ears are responsible for giving us one of our five senses, hearing. Thus, care for it properly is very important in order to avoid infections or other ailments. However, sometimes these are unavoidable, especially in the case of children.

The most common disease affecting this part of our body is otitis caused by “an ear inflammation caused by infection, bacterial, viral or fungal,” says Bartholomew Scola, secretary general of the Spanish Society of Otolaryngology and Cervical Facial Pathology (SEORL).

When the ears are infected
The human ear is a complex structure that is responsible for both hearing and balance. It consists of two distinct parts, the outer ear, consisting of the ear and the inner, where the elements responsible for reproducing the sounds and make us to hear properly.

Indeed, this differentiation is also zones in the case of otitis, in which an etiology is presented differently depending on whether it affects the outer ear and ear canal or inner ear:

The most common causes of the appearance of external otitis have to do with agents that alter the innate protection of our ears against infections. These, as explained Scola, tend to be “scratching maneuvers that cause erosions in the skin of the ear canal or long baths that can ultimately affect the surface.”

As otitis media, “the most common cause is bacterial or viral infection of the lining of the ear in the course of a catarrhal process,” adds the expert.

The major symptom is seen when you have an earache is otitis, ie localized pain within the ear. In addition, the Panel recalls that “the discharge and hearing loss are also signs that are frequently associated.”

Given these symptoms are different treatments depending on the type of the disease. With this in mind, if the otitis affects the outer ear are treated, in addition to analgesics, “with a topical medication that is based on duct cleaning with disinfectant and antibiotic drops,” says Scola. For the stockings, the treatment is based on taking antibiotics and anti-inflammatory.

Ear infections are very common diseases, and in principle do not involve too much risk to health, unless they cause pain to the patient. However, when we speak of otitis media, if you can have complications, though rare. For example, there have been cases in which otitis “ends up affecting the bones of the skull, may generate other problems in this area as meningitis or facial paralysis,” said Scola. To this we must add that, if the process becomes chronic, it can degrade the quality of life much of the patient and create problems in their proper hearing.

Although in some cases, especially when it comes to children, these diseases are inevitable, yes there are some guidelines for prevention that can help us. That said, it is preferable to “avoid untimely scratching maneuvers, using rod and swimming in the sea or the pool very long,” advises the specialist. On the other hand, we must also focus our attention on properly treat colds not to be prone to these infections.

Personal hygiene is one of the steps necessary to care for our health. Moreover, it is shown that a simple act like washing hands could prevent and reduce child mortality that punishes both the Third World. Closely tied to this and also aware of the importance of maintaining strong teeth and healthy, Vital Dent Foundation in collaboration with the NGO solidarity, is preparing a new Smile Road to the north of Africa.

In its third edition, this campaign aims to go for ten days several cities in Morocco, in order to bring dental health to the most deprived in the country.

inadequate dental health, and produce the evident damage to the teeth, can lead to multiple other problems in our body. A simple habit like brushing your teeth, which for us is so common, it is impossible for millions of people. Therefore, with this campaign Vital Dent Foundation aims to facilitate access to this material to the needy toilet.

Similarly, this initiative aims to provide dental care to these populations and provide basic education about the basic parameters of good dental hygiene. “We want to treatments about nine thousand people and that we will visit the children at school and giving the moral lessons so that, through play, to learn proper care,” said Miguel Angel Perez, president of Vital Foundation Dent.

From Vital Dent, wanted to take this opportunity to bring these small all kinds of help. With the collaboration of the Real Madrid Foundation and the famed former Real Madrid player Michel as a sponsor of the cause, “is also going to distribute toys, clothing, medical and sports equipment of this club,” said Perez.
The campaign, which will leave Madrid on November 27 and return on December 7, is established as a project that seeks to promote and improve the health of the disadvantaged: “Our intention is to create continuity in each edition of the Road Smile, and then be able to transfer responsibilities to the government of this country, “says the president of Vital Dent. Certainly a good idea to try to optimize health care and exponentially improve the lives of these people.

what is bowel cancer?
Bowel cancer, a rare cancer is a disease in which cells are cancerous (malignant) tissues of the small intestine. The small intestine is a long tube that is wound several times to fit inside the abdomen. It connects the stomach to the intestine. Most food is broken down in the small intestine to extract vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

Stages of Small Intestine Cancer
once detected bowel cancer will become more tests to determine if cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body. Although there is a classification system for bowel cancer, for treatment, this cancer is divided according to cell type detected. There are four types of cancer found in the small intestine adenocarcinomas, lymphomas, sarcomas and carcinoid tumors.
Adenocarcinoma
Adenocarcinoma starts in the lining of the small intestine and is the most common type of cancer of the small intestine. These tumors occur most often in the small intestine that is closest to the stomach.
Lymphoma
Lymphoma of lymphoid tissue originating in the small intestine. Lymphatic tissue is part of the body’s immune system, which allows the body to fight infection.
Leiomyosarcoma
Leiomyosarcomas are cancers whose growth originates in the smooth muscle lining the small intestine.
Treatment
Using three kinds of treatment:
• Surgery (taking out the cancer)
• Radiation therapy (using high doses of x-rays to kill cancer cells)
• Chemotherapy (using drugs to kill cancer cells).
Treatment by stage
Treatments for bowel cancer will depend on the type of cancer, how far it has spread, general health status and age:
Small Intestine Adenocarcinoma
The patient may be one of the following treatments:
1. Surgery to remove the tumor.
2. Surgery for food in the small intestine cancer evades (forward)
3. Radiation therapy to relieve symptoms.
4. A clinical trial of radiation plus drugs to make cancer cells become more sensitive to radiation.
5. A clinical trial of chemotherapy or biological therapy.
LYMPHOMA OF THE SMALL INTESTINE
The patient may be one of the following treatments:
1. Surgery to remove the cancer and lymph nodes.
2. Surgery followed by chemotherapy
3. Chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy.
Small Intestine Leiomyosarcoma
The patient may be one of the following treatments:
1. Surgery to remove the cancer.
2. Surgery for food in the small intestine cancer evades (forward) if the cancer can not be extracted.
3. Radiotherapy.
4. Surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy to relieve symptoms.
5. A clinical trial of chemotherapy or biological therapy.

Anemia characterized by producing a feeling of weakness in patients with the disease, but internally, is a reduction of red cell mass of the body, ie the number of red blood cells, resulting in a decrease in oxygen transport and a lack of oxygen to the tissues.

There are different types of anemia and may be due to alterations in stem cells or deficit of factors that stimulate or are needed for erythropoiesis (technical name of the formation of red blood cells). It is also common, and also more known, iron deficiency anemia, caused by iron deficiency. Another type of megaloblastic anemia is common, caused by a deficiency of vitamin B12 or folic acid. On the other hand, there are also peripheral anemias, caused by blood loss or breakage of red blood cells in the circulation (hemolytic anemia).

Logically, the manifestations of anemia is greater the smaller the amount of hemoglobin, which indicates a more serious situation. Dr. Villegas, a member of the Spanish Association of Hematology and Hemotherapy, says they also play an important role in the patient’s age and the rapidity of onset of anemia.

Among the most common symptoms include: pale skin and mucous membranes, fatigue progressive leg pain, cramps, loss of strength, headache or ringing in ears. Also, irritability, poor memory and concentration as well as loss of appetite, gastrointestinal disorders, absence of menstruation and decreased libido or sexual desire.

In addition, the expert notes that? Are common symptoms that affect the heart?, Such as palpitations. In the case of iron deficiency anemia (caused by lack of iron), we find as most characteristic signs of hair loss, broken nails or lesions in the corners of the lips.

the presence of anemia is detected through blood or blood count. The latter study allows knowing the number of erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets, and other parameters that identify the type of anemia in the event that there is.

In this regard, Villegas said that another important fact is to assess the morphology, ie the shape of these red blood cells under a microscope. He adds that the diagnosis of each particular type of anemia requires the participation of specialized laboratories.

This assessment will determine the best treatment in each case. Anemia, especially if severe and rapid onset produces a range of symptoms that impair quality of life of patients and makes they feel tired, miserable, so it is important to correct it.

According to the doctor, the first thing to do in treatment is to remove the cause that produces it and in the case of iron deficiency anemia, caused by blood loss, the first thing is to eliminate these bleeding and then treat anemia with iron. The same is true of other anemias, to be offset in accordance with each deficiency.

Whatever the cause, treatment specialist should meet, and in the case of iron deficiency anemia, iron continues to take three or four months after correction of anemia, to fill the bone marrow stores of iron. With this in mind, the most important is to go to the doctor and he shall of the best recommendations in each case.

The autumn and winter, as well as bring a radical change in temperature, again reminding us that everyone is exposed to cold or infected with influenza virus. In fact, this disorder annually affects between 5% and 15% of the population, around seven million people in Spain.

Despite the proven efficacy of flu vaccines, they are sometimes inadequate and do not cover all strains of the disease. As an alternative is really beneficial homeopathy.

A homeopathic cure

Homeopathy is an alternative therapy to traditional medicine that is characterized by a gentle yet effective method with which you can solve a multitude of disorders and avoid the dreaded side effects that cause many drugs. In the case of the flu, use one of these treatments can reduce the chances of suffering or at least lessen the discomfort it causes us.

Martinez Jorge Manresa, a pediatrician and expert in this area university, said “influenza or parainfluenza processes can be prevented in a high percentage with homeopathic medicines.” Among them we find Oscillococcinum, which “can be used both for prevention as to cure or shorten the symptoms,” adds Manresa.
Cold Thermometer

Many more advantages
the main feature that has made homeopathy differs from other drugs with chemical composition is that side effects are minimized. In the case of the flu and you need to add that it can be much more effective than other formulas, for “has a broader coverage of influenza strains,” says the doctor.

These two properties make it valid for all types of people, including children, pregnant and elderly, and even in patients who suffer from some other ailment. This is because it does not interfere with the use of other treatments, making it a “highly safe and effective medication,” says the specialist.

But if prevention is more than demonstrated the success of homeopathy, as to treat the symptoms, “are also very useful these drugs because prescribing individualized based on patient symptoms,” said Jorge Manresa.

To all this we must add that, a priori, there are no contraindications that prevent us from using this therapy, so go to a homeopath may be the best way to rule out the possibility of falling into this common disease.

in the skeleton is more frequent metastasis of other cancers that develop a bone tumor itself. The most common are osteosarcoma (or osteosarcoma)

Causes

In most malignant tumors of the skeleton not know the cause that produced it. But today we know that cancer is a genetic disease, not because it is transferred from parents to children (although in some cases this happens) but because its origin is some alteration of genes that control cell division. In some sarcomas is known that specific genetic alteration has occurred. Genetic studies, some studies have shown that sarcomas may be diagnosed with certainty within 24 hours, and besides, do you know if this particular sarcoma is more or less likely to respond to treatment.

Symptoms

the most common symptom is pain in a limb. This pain is constant, even at night. The most common location is the knee of a growing child, but can also involve the bones of the trunk, pelvis, etc.. It is often accompanied by malaise or fever, or other symptoms. • Treatment imperative that the diagnostic process and the start of treatment are as fast as possible. Cancerous tumors that arise from the bones can be spread by the bloodstream to the lungs first and then any organ. These new implants of tumor (metastases) may cause death. Although the bloodstream is the most common in the spread of these tumors, in some cases (less than 2%) can also spread via the lymphatic system, thus affecting the lymph nodes in the groin, armpits, etc. The treatment of these tumors also be based on three pillars: surgery, chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy over a long period of time (nearly a year).

the consumption of alcohol as wine or beer every day increases the risk of bowel cancer.

35,000 new cases of bowel cancer are diagnosed in the UK every year, and 16,100 persons die from it.

In European countries alcohol consumption is part of eating habits.

People who eat 15 grams of alcohol per day (equivalent to two units) have 10% chance of getting this type of cancer than people who do not consume alcohol.

The average risk of contracting this disease increases as alcohol consumption is higher.

We conclude that alcohol in high doses and for prolonged periods increases the risk of certain cancers.

Much has been made of the properties of shea butter on the skin. But what is actually shea butter, how is it obtained? This note will try to answer these questions about the shea butter and collection.

Vitellaria paradoxa While hydrating and protecting against UVB and UVA radiation shea butter are well known, it is important to know what is the origin of the product.

What is Shea Butter?

* Shea butter comes from a tree that bears the same name, which is also known under the scientific name of Vitellaria paradoxa. His name is meant “butter tree”
* This plant native to Africa, has similar fruits to nuts, from which we get the shea butter.

How is Shea Butter?

* Shea butter is used for cosmetic purposes (production of oils, creams and soaps), you get cold pressing the cotyledons of the fruits, obtaining a white vegetable fat.
* In addition to shea butter is used for culinary purposes (in the chocolate industry).

As a matter of interest can be added to about 5 kg of fruit of the shea tree is equivalent to 1 kilo of butter and processing, on the African continent is home craft.

By knowing what is shea butter and how is it possible to take advantage of all its protective properties of skin.
