Blood Platelet Disorders/Blood Coagulation Disorders

Another growing problem which we witness everyday is the growing problem of blood platelet disorder. We hear it everyday and yet most of us are not fully aware of what exactly this disease is. Blood platelet disorder is basically the inability to make platelets which help to stop clotting process in blood. Therefore, if a person develops blood platelet disorder, he would normally have a deficiency of producing blood platelets. This represents in quick blood loss. These individuals have a great tendency to loose blood. Therefore if you notice blood staying on skin, you must take that seriously since it is the very first sign of blood platelet disorder.

Causes:
There are many reasons which can lead to blood platelet disorder. However, a major reason for the cause of platelet disorder is the non-functioning of bone marrow. It might be due to the fact that bone marrow is not making proper platelets due to some disease like cancer, HIV or some other severe infection.

Symptoms:
There are many signs which can be taken as the signs for blood platelet disorder. The first one however is the bleeding of the skin and small dots appearing all over the skin. You might observe dots all over the skin. Apart from this the individual might be easily prone to bleeding even when there is a little injury. Bruises also occur very easily. Apart from this the appearing of blood in stool is another sign. In this case you should not confuse it with piles. Therefore refer to your doctor as soon as you observe.

Diagnosis:
However an important point to note is that even if you have all these signs appearing to you, you can still not be sure that this is all due to the platelets. Therefore, it is wise to go see a doctor and undergo a proper check up to find this out. If the doctor sees a decrease in the platelet count (normally 20,000 to 30,000 is regarded as low), he would tell you that you have platelet disorder. Testing a piece of bone marrow is another test for finding out about blood platelet disorder.

Treatment:
If the level of platelets drops to 20,000 or 30,000, the individual is rapidly admitted in a hospital and put under proper treatment. Treatment for blood platelet disorder varies according to the seriousness of disorder.

Prevention of Implants and Surgical Methods

With the help of modern science and never ending research being carried out in field of the medical, there are more and more medical solutions being invented. A common practice which has been carried out since a considerable amount of time is implantation. Implantation has been a significant factor of medical studies since a long period of time. This is the process of which a lot of pregnant women face when they already had missed their period. Implantation is the process whereby the embryo attaches itself to the wall inside the uterus. Although, it does not get fully attached to the wall of uterus, in fact it only tries to do so.

At this time the embryo is in shape of a blastocyst, therefore the adhesion forces the embryo to burst and therefore the little blood cells are flown out. This would be very different from the normal blood loss that you have during you periods. The color of this blood would rather be pinkish or pale red. One thing that you need to know is that you should not panic when implantation occurs. Many women take greats tress when they find about implantation. They confuse it with their periods and often take unwanted stress.

Implantation is a very normal thing and can occur with any woman. However, there is no set rule for which women are normally prone to implantation. Preventing implantation is one question that many women usually ask. Some believe that there are herbs which can help to control the implantation while others believe that implantation can be cured if you move around and do regular exercise. None of this is true. Actually, implantation does not have any specific prevention and you do not even need prevention. This is a very normal case which indicates that you are on the road to pregnancy.

There are some surgical methods which can also cause implantation. The doctors have to be careful while inserting surgical tools through vagina. This can hurt the delicate walls and thus, cause implantation. However, implantation is normal and can happen to any woman so you do not have to be worried about implantation coming to you.

Honey for Heart Disease

Honey has marvellous properties to prevent all sorts of heart disease. It tones up the heart and improves the circulation. It is also effective in cardiac pain and palpitation of the heart. One tablespoon daily after food is sufficient to prevent all sorts of heart troubles.

A side-effect of this therapy will be the strengthening of the skin. Scaly skin, dry skin, infections of the skin all disappear with the consumption of honey every day for several months.

Correct Nearsightedness without Glasses

Here is a surprising remedy for short sight:

Sun gazing: Sit on a bench facing the sun with your eyes closed and gently sway sideways several times for 18 minutes. Open the eyes and blink about ten times at the sun and look at some greenery. This helps nearsightedness and is good for inflamed eyes.

Also helpful is the procedure called palming:
1. Rub both palms together quickly for 8-10 seconds. This friction creates a mild heat.
2. Close the eyes and gently place the left palm over the left eye and the right palm over the right eye for one minute. Do not press the eyeballs with the palms, just let them gently rest there. Breathe in and out slowly to release stress.
3. Repeat 2-3 times.
4. Other poses that strengthen the eyes include the Bhujangasana (snake pose), Surya Namaskara (sun salutes), and Shavasana (rest pose).

Vitamins for Acne

Two common, inexpensive, safe, and effective vitamins can clear skin conditions.

Two vitamins, namely, niacin and vitamin A have been used successfully to treat acne. The vitamin therapy which may comprise a niacin, 100 mg. three times daily and vitamin A in large doses up to 1,50,000 units per day should not exceed one month. Vitamin E is also vitally important to prevent scarring from acne and in removing old scars.

Another effective remedy in the realm of nutrition that seems to offer new promise of help for acne is zinc. It has shown dramatic results in some cases. Zinc should be taken in therapeutic doses of 50 mg. three times a day. After noticeable improvement it can be gradually reduced.

Vitamins for Kidney Stones

Research has shown the remarkable therapeutic success of vitamin B6 or pyridoxine in the treatment of kidney stones. This treatment has to be continued for several months for obtaining a permanent cure.

The patient should take a low protein diet, restricting protein to one gram per kg. of food. A liberal intake of fluid up to 3,000 ml or more daily is essential to prevent the production of urine at the concentration level where the salts precipitate out.

The patient should be given a large hot enema, followed by a hot bath with a temperature of 100° F, gradually increased to 112° F. The head should be kept cold with cold application. Hot fomentation applied across the back in the region of the kidneys will relieve the pain. Certain yogasanas such as pavan-muktasana, uttanpadasana, bhujangasana, dhanursana and halasana are also highly beneficial as they stimulate the kidneys.

Animal Flesh Carries the Horror of Slaughter

The flesh of slaughtered animals is poisoned by the emotion of fear.

As is well known, emotions of worry, fear and anger actually poison blood and tissues. Imagine the excitable condition of animals after many days of travel, closely packed in shaking vehicles-hungry, thirsty, scared en route to the slaughter-houses. Many die even before the end of their journey. Others are driven half dead with fear and exhaustion to the slaughter pans, their instinctive fear of death augmented by the sight and odour of the blood shambles.

Sodium naturally present in animal flesh and sodium added to the meat captures adrenaline in forms that are extremely toxic. In its purest form, this sodium-bound adrenaline can even cause heart attack. Avoid this toxin by avoiding the flesh of slaughtered animals.

Colour Therapy Is Easier Than It Appears

A simple rule of colour therapy is this: Blue + Red = Purple
The colour purple has potent healing effects.
Yesterday we considered diagnoses of deficiency of the healing colours blue and red, but how do these deficiencies related to states of illness and health? Cool, soothing and sedative, blue alleviates pain, reducing bleeding and heals burns. It is beneficial in the treatment of dysentery, colic, asthma, respiratory disorders, high blood pressure and skin aberrations. In a study at the New England State Hospital in the United States, 25 members of staff with normal blood pressure were bathed in blue light for half an hour. It resulted in universal fall in blood pressure. The blood pressure rose when red light was applied.

Red, of course, keeps blood pressure from falling too low. Symbolic of heat, fire and anger. It is a stimulating and energising colour. It stimulates arterial blood and brings warmth to cool extremities. Used as a general tonic, it is very valuable in the treatment of diseases like low blood pressure, rheumatism, paralysis, anaemia and advanced cases of tuberculosis. Here is a simple treatment to ensure you benefit from both colours: Purple or indigo combines the blood-warming red and the cooling antiseptic blue. It is an excellent stimulant without being an irritant. Today eat some familiar purple food, such as black carrot, berries, or purple grapes.

Drink water if you have high blood pressure

Persons with high blood cholesterol level should drink at least eight to 10 glasses of water every day as regular drinking of water stimulates the excretory activity of the skin and kidneys. This in turn facilitates elimination of excessive cholesterol from the system.

Regular drinking of coriander (dhania) water also helps lower blood cholesterol as it is a good diuretic and stimulates the kidneys. It is prepared by boiling dry seeds of coriander and straining the decoction after cooling.

Honey for Heart Disease

Honey has marvellous properties to prevent all sorts of heart disease. It tones up the heart and improves the circulation. It is also effective in cardiac pain and palpitation of the heart. One tablespoon daily after food is sufficient to prevent all sorts of heart troubles.

A side-effect of this therapy will be the strengthening of the skin. Scaly skin, dry skin, infections of the skin all disappear with the consumption of honey every day for several months.

Weight Loss, Fat Loss, Lose Body Fat

Why am I fat?

You're looking for weight loss tips, fat loss advice, ways to trim the excess body fat. Cool.

You are fat because you take in more food than you can use, and the extra has to go somewhere.

I've heard that. I want the real reason.

That is the real reason.

If you want to lie to yourself, you probably don't want to be here. Go someplace where they'll happily tell you that you have "a glandular problem" (you do, you're stuffing in more calories than your glands can handle, but that's not what you meant), and they'll also happily sell you a magic pill to:

* make the extra calories just go away or,
* trick your body to not absorb all the extra you eat and drink

Yeah! One of those!

Sorry. No magic here. No pills. Weight loss stops when you either cut your intake or increase your output ... and we don't mean how much you crap. We mean how much you exert.

Exert? EXERT? You mean, like... (gasp) Exercise?

Yup. Like exercise.

But wait. It gets worse.

Worse?

Yeah.

Sorry.

We don't like it any better than you do. Weight loss, fat loss, body fat reduction, whatever you want to call it, is not much fun.

There's no good news

Sure there is. The good news is that it can be done. You can rearrange things slightly, in your life, and in a few months you'll weigh considerably less than you do now. A pound of fat is 3500 calories. If you take in 3500 calories more than you expend - over any period of time - you gain a pound of fat.

If you take in 3500 calories less than you expend - over any period of time, then you lose a pound of fat.

If the difference occurs over a week, then you gain or lose that pound in a week. If the difference between intake and output takes a month to happen, then you gain or lose that pound in a month.

If you are attempting to reduce the intake by that much, then it's a small sacrifice every day, that adds up over a month.

If you are keeping the intake the same, but attempting to use an extra 3500 calories in a month, then that's barely more than 100 additional calories that you burn in a day. For somebody working in a multi-story office building, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, several times per day, can make that difference - depends on the number of floors. Obviously, if your building is 60 floors, you don't walk 60 flights of stairs. You take the elevator to within a few floors of your destination and then walk the rest.

If you are trying to combine a reduction of intake with an increase of expenditure, then both become easier. OR, you can do as much reduction and as much increase as you would have done alone, but get twice the result in the same amount of time or the same result (a pound lost) in half the time.

So there's hope, then?

There's always hope.

But not magic.

I really, really wanted some magic

Don't we all... but weight loss, especially the kind that doesn't rebound, is not magic. It takes a bit of work. You actually have to pay attention. You have to make some changes.

All I'm hearing is the downside

Um... you're living the downside. You'd hardly be here looking for Men's Health Tips on weight loss, fat loss, body fat reduction ... whatever... if you were slim, would you?

So it's a matter of which one(s) of many reasons actually brought you here.

Be honest with yourself - if you are a middle-aged guy and you are ... er... hefty, then chances are you've run into one or more of the usual reasons for being concerned about your weight:

* you join the guys for a weekly (-ish) game, and you can't keep up
* your wife has been making pointed remarks
* your doctor has been making pointed remarks
* your doctor has been getting test results that don't look so good
* your doctor has been making noises that sound like "pre-diabetic", "hypertension", "diet"
* you can't see your shoes when you look down
* your waist size is bigger than your inseam measurement
* when you buckle your belt, you have to go by feel to decide which belt hole is engaged
* there's a somewhat stretched hole in your belt that you don't use any more
* you've had to get a new belt and the old one wasn't worn out
* you got a new belt because you didn't like being constantly reminded by the old one, with the hole(s) that you can't use any more
* whenever you wear "loose" shorts and try to walk with them, they "black hole" (the legs of the shorts get sucked up into your crotch or your ass, like they were pulled into a black hole... nothing escapes the enormous pull of the black hole...)
* anywhere you go, your gut arrives before the rest of you
* your legs completely fill out your pants and are pressing your pocket contents through the fabric
* you've stopped wearing pleated-front pants, because the pleats don't pleat anymore - they're completely expanded out all the time
* you should have stopped wearing pleated-front pants, because the pleats don't pleat anymore...
* you haven't got the energy you used to have
* you snore like a like a nest of chainsaws (that's one of the things the wife has been saying, and you are starting to believe her)
* you have to get your clothes in the "Big and Tall" section of the store... and you aren't really that tall
* your buddies (or your siblings) have made jokes about your ass or your belly "blotting out the sun"
* you've got "man titties"
* you can't get out of an easy-chair without using your hands
* your feet, knees, hips, or lower back (or some combination of them) ache when you stand a lot, ache when you get out of a chair, ache when you get out of bed
* you're starting to experience "arch problems" with your feet, and orthotic shoes or inserts are recommended
* when you climb a flight of stairs, you're really glad there's not another flight to climb - if it's more than one floor, you always take the elevator
* after just a flight or two of stairs, you are huffing and your face is flushed
* you always leave the front of your suit/sports jacket open, 'cuz the button shows the strain if you close it (if you even can close it...)
* your pants wear out in the crotch long before any other part (except maybe the knees)
* you haven't been body-building, but you've still had to go up a neck size
* your wedding ring seems to have gotten smaller
* your arms are no shorter, but the steering wheel seems to be getting closer regardless
* you have to have a tilt steering wheel, just to fit your thighs under it
* . . .

It seems that you have good reason to inquire about weight loss. If you are experiencing even a few of the things in that list, your health is being compromised - not might be - IS .

If you experience many of those "symptoms" of being fat, then buddy you are in trouble, and your quality of life is suffering. Like most people, if something sneaks up on you over time, you get accustomed to it, you adapt. It might not be great, but you put up with it.

The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way. Weight loss will cure a lot of your health and quality-of-life problems. Fat loss will make you the man you once were. And it's not all that hard to do.

It's not?

The hard part is admitting it to yourself - not simply saying the words "I'm fat and I need to slim down", but actually taking those words seriously.

Well that's not so hard - I do have a mirror you know, and a scale

That's a start. But the longer you procrastinate, make excuses, accommodate your "handicap", the harder it is to reverse.

Have you seen some of our other pages, on hypertension? On Snoring? On backache? You can suffer any of those without being fat, but it's far more likely that you are fat if you do suffer those afflictions. Or, said another way, if you are fat, then the chances that you suffer those afflictions (likely more than one) are very high.

It's also important where you keep it.

Keep what?

Your fat.

Well that should be pretty obvious...

Yes and no.

If you are like most guys, you carry the bulk (no pun intended) of your fat on your front. You might have heard or read that that's not a good place for it. Somebody with the same amount of excess fat, but spread more evenly over his body, is in less trouble with respect to heart disease and diabetes ... maybe stroke, too.

The real problem, apparently, is not what hangs out front, but what is inside among your organs. If you are carrying a lot of fat in there, then you are in line for many of those fat-guy problems. Organs don't like to be crowded and squished.

Vitamins for Kidney Stones

Research has shown the remarkable therapeutic success of vitamin B6 or pyridoxine in the treatment of kidney stones. This treatment has to be continued for several months for obtaining a permanent cure.

The patient should take a low protein diet, restricting protein to one gram per kg. of food. A liberal intake of fluid up to 3,000 ml or more daily is essential to prevent the production of urine at the concentration level where the salts precipitate out.

The patient should be given a large hot enema, followed by a hot bath with a temperature of 100° F, gradually increased to 112° F. The head should be kept cold with cold application. Hot fomentation applied across the back in the region of the kidneys will relieve the pain. Certain yogasanas such as pavan-muktasana, uttanpadasana, bhujangasana, dhanursana and halasana are also highly beneficial as they stimulate the kidneys.

Mild water relieves mild depression

A neutral immersion bath for one hour daily is also helpful in the treatment of depression. This bath is administered in a bath tub which should be properly fitted with hot and cold water connections. The patient should lie in the tub after filling it with water a temperature ranging from 92° to 98° F. The head should be kept cold with a cold compress.

This approach is especially useful in treating depression caused by thyroid dysfunction.

It is difficult to recognise the first symptoms of goitre because they are of a very short duration. They usually appear as emotional upsets and can pass almost unnoticed. These spells of emotional upsets gradually increase in duration, when other symptoms also appear. These include loss of power of concentration, depression and weeping. The patient appears to be very easily irritated. The approach of a nervous breakdown is often suspended.
The thyroid gland may swell but this has no relation to the severity of the ailment because many serious cases have practically no visible swelling. There is always a rapid though regular heart beat and any undue excitement increases this to a quick pulsation which may even be conveyed to the thyroid gland. There is, in most cases, a tremor of the hands and a feeling of extreme tiredness, together with a lack of power to make any real muscular effort. The eyes may incline to protrude although this does not appear in all patients.

A most alarming symptoms of goitre is the loss of weight which no treatment seems to check, and this can persist till the patient feels extremely weak. All the symptoms appear very gradually and that is why so many women do not complain until the trouble has reached serious proportions.

Salt as Treatment

Some days are better for rest and reflection than for starting new endeavours. Today, rest your weary bones. Simply taking time to rest is beneficial for the most common of all chronic health conditions, osteoarthritis. And the most appropriate "medication" may be as simple as salt. Bathing in the sea is best. The natural iodine in the sea water is said to relieve arthritis pain. As is well-known, iodine regulates the acid-alkaline balance in the blood and tissues, helps to repair and regenerate worn out tissues and nourishes the skeletal structure. It enters into the thyroid gland's secretion. The hormone uses this iodine to nullify germs in the bloodstream and to create a self- cleansing of internal toxaemia. Not everyone, of course, can bathe in the sea.

If sea bathing is not possible, relax for 30 minutes every night in a tub of warm water in which a cupful of sea salt has been mixed. The minerals in the sea salt, especially iodine, can be absorbed through the skin pores. This will help correct an internal imbalance. Be sure your water is warm. After your bath, drink warm water with the juice of a lemon. The lemon is a natural solvent for uric acid crystals that attack the joints.

Onions and Garlic to Get Your Blood Moving

Another excellent home remedy for heart disease is onions. They are useful in normalising the percentage of blood cholesterol by oxidising excess cholesterol. One teaspoon of raw onion juice first thing in the morning will be highly beneficial in such cases.

Garlic is regarded as one of the most effective remedies to lower blood pressure. Over 2,500 scientific studies published in 10 languages find that garlic lowers blood pressure, deters the production of unhealthful cholesterol, and prevents the formation of the clots that can cause heart attack and stroke.

The pressure and tension are reduced because it has the power to ease the spasms of the small arteries. Garlic also slows the pulse and modifies the heart rhythm besides relieving the symptoms of dizziness, numbness, shortness of breath and the formation of gas within the digestive tract. The average dosage should be two to three capsules a day to make a dent in the high blood pressure.

The Grape in the Treatment of Cancer

Johanna Brandt, the author of the book The Grape Cure has advocated an exclusive grape diet for the treatment of cancer. She discovered this mode of cure in 1925, while experimenting on herself by fasting and dieting alternately in the course of her nine-year battle with cancer. She claimed to have cured herself by this mode of treatment. She recommends a fast for two or three days so as to prepare the system for the change of diet.

After the short fast, the patient should have a grape meat every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. This should be followed for a week or two even a month or two, in chronic cases of long standing. The patient should begin the grape cure with a small quantity of 30, 60, to 90 grams per meal, gradually increasing this to double the quantity. In course of time, about 250 grams may safely be taken as a meal.

Hot Water for Constipation

Drinking hot water with sour lime juice and half a teaspoon of salt is also an effective remedy for constipation. Drinking water which has been kept overnight in a copper vessel, the first thing in the morning will bring good results. Linseed is extremely useful in difficult cases of constipation. A teaspoon of linseed swallowed with water before each meal provides both bulk and lubrication. In all ordinary cases of constipation, an exclusive fruit diet for about seven days would be the best way to begin the treatment.

For long-standing and stubborn cases, it should be advisable to have a short fast for four or five days. This will drive out the packed contents of the bowels, eliminate toxins and purify the blood stream. Weak patients may take orange juice during the period of fasting. After the all-fruit diet or the short fast, as the case may be, the patient should gradually embark upon a balanced diet comprising adequate raw foods, ripe fruits and whole grain cereals.

In some cases, further short periods on fruits or short fasts may be necessary at intervals of two months or so, depending on the progress being made. The bowels should be cleansed daily through a warm water enema for a few days at the commencement of treatment.

Water for Weak Eyes

If you were to ask your friends how many times a week they did something to improve the health of their eyes, they'd probably say "none. Most people only pay attention to their eyes if they have a problem. Yet the hours spent watching TV and working on computers take their toll on eye health.

The nature cure also offers water for weak eyes. The method is splashing:

Splash cold, plain water several times on closed eyes. Rub the closed lids briskly for a minute with a clean towel. This exercise cools the eyes and boosts blood supply.

Be sure only to splash water on the eyes. Essential oils or soaps, in particular, could be damaging.

Treating Constipation to Relieve Prostate Problems

Treat constipation to relieve prostate disorders.

To begin with, the patient should forgo all solid foods and subsist on water only for two or three days. The intake of water should be as plentiful as possible. Nothing should be added to the water except a little lemon juice, if desired. The water may be taken cold or hot and it should be taken every hour or so when awake. This will greatly increase the flow of urine. An enema may be taken once a day during fasting to clear the lower bowel of accumulations.

After a thorough cleansing of the bowels, hot and cold applications may be used directly on the prostate gland and its surrounding parts. The heat relieves the tissues and a brief cold immersion tones them up. The patient should take alternate hot and cold hip baths. These are of great value in relieving pain and reducing congestion. The hot bath should be taken first for 10 minutes, followed by a cold bath for one minute daily.

After the short fast, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for three days. The fruits should include apples, pears, oranges, grape-fruit, grapes, sweet limes, mangoes, melons and all other juicy fruits. This will help to clear toxins from the body and will also enable excess fat to be reduced to some extent.

The exclusive fruit diet should be followed by a diet, consisting of two meals of fruits and one of cooked vegetables for further seven days. The vegetable meal should be taken in the evening and should consist of all kinds of cooked vegetables, preferably steam cooked. Thereafter, the patient may adopt a well-balanced diet of three basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits.

The short lemon juice fast followed by an all-fruit diet and a further period on fruits and vegetables may be repeated after two or three months if necessary depending on the progress made.
