		<description><![CDATA[ Parkinson's Disease affects generally elder adults, among about 90% of the known cases are diagnosed in people over the age of 60 Within that population, there is a small amount of variance, with the danger increasing from age 60 through age 75, and then going down sharply Currently, Parkinson's Disease is known to affect about 3% of the population over the age of 65 With present statistics and the probable aging of the population, authorities think that that percentage will double in the next 40 years When those with mild symptoms of Parkinsons (symptoms of Parkinson's Disease that may be caused by other things, or could develop into Parkinson's Disease), those numbers increase dramatically 15% of those between the ages of 60 and 74 have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease Between the ages of 75 and 84, that percentage rises to almost 30% However, when you look at it in terms of inception of symptoms, the picture changes Fewer than 10% of new cases of Parkinson's disease are diagnosed in younger adults - under age 40 The majority of new diagnoses of Parkinson's disease are made between the ages of 60 and 75 After age 85, the danger of developing Parkinson's Disease then seems to fall off dramatically What are the factors that effect diagnoses? Gender Men appear to be at greater risk of developing Parkinson's Disease than women Men have to deal with about double the risk of developing Parkinson's Disease as women in any age group Scientists think that estrogens may play a function in protecting the body from the chemical changes that occur in Parkinson's Disease This is further borne out by two facts - women who've had hysterectomies have a somewhat higher rate of Parkinson's Disease, and women who've had estrogen replacement therapy have a lower rate of Parkinson's Disease than other women their age Parkinson's Disease seems to growth more quickly in men than women according to one study, and another found a difference in the way that symptoms present Men are more prone to rigidity and tremor, and women more at danger from gait disturbance and shuffling Ethnicity Caucasians have a higher danger of developing Parkinson's Disease than either African Americans or Asian Americans People of European descent appear most prone to usual Parkinson's Disease, but some studies hint at that non-Caucasians may be more at risk for a particular type of non-typical Parkinsonis that causes a disturbance in judgment Heredity In a small percentage of cases, family history may play a part in the inception of Parkinson's Disease People who have parents or brothers and sisters who had young-onset Parkinson's Disease, in which symptoms develop before the age of 40, are more probable to develop Parkinson's Disease than others their age When Parkinson's Disease was diagnosed at older ages, family history looks like it's to play no part Cigarette Smokers Oddly, cigarette smokers appear to have a diminished incidence of Parkinson's Disease, which has led researchers to explore the probability that nicotine may give some protection from the fluctuations caused by Parkinson's Disease They are quick to point out that the other health problems associated with cigarette smoking are far too significant to think cigarette smoking as a way to avoid getting Parkinson's Disease Coffee Drinkers Caffeine also seems to have a protective result against Parkinson's Disease A study of Japanese-American men suggested that those who commonly drank coffee ran a lesser risk of developing Parkinson's Disease than other men their age The more coffee they consumed, the lower the risk ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ What Happened to the Flu Vaccine Shortage? Back in October 2004, the United States lost almost half of its expected 100 million doses of the flu vaccine, which prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to encourage recommendations to each state, suggesting that doses of the vaccine be restricted to high-risk groups only However, it is becoming apparent that perhaps this "panic attack" was a little too dramatic It seems that, due to a mild flu season, the demand for the country's "limited doses" of the vaccine was less than anticipated In fact, the demand was so low that some states are actually loosening restrictions regarding who gets a shot Those states that have taken such action include: * Michigan and Utah: Lifted all restrictions; Michigan has about 170,000 available doses * Minnesota: Opened up the flu vaccine to those 50 and older, among others * Massachusetts: Dropped the lowest receiving age limit from 75 to 65, as well as lightened a few other restrictions * Nebraska: Traded 4,000 flu-shot doses with Missouri for measles, mumps and rubella vaccine Further, only weeks ago a Washington-based company that holds immunization clinics vaccinated 100 clients a day at its office -- now it vaccinates only 20 people on a daily basis USA Today December 13, 2004 Dr Mercola's Comment: All of this news doesn't surprise me at all, considering public health officials were reassuring Americans that getting a flu shot is not a life-or-death matter Fact is, the flu shot does NOT prevent illness in most people but actually does just the opposite -- it weakens the immune system and makes you more predisposed to the illness Also, it is important to understand that people are dying from the flu because they are already sick and have compromised immune systems Thus, the ultimate treatment for the flu is PROACTIVE PREVENTION I have compiled a list of seven guidelines to help you prevent and fight the flu this winter I suggest printing this list off and posting it somewhere in your home where you and your family will see it on a daily basis By doing so, everyone in your family will be aware of the healthy alternatives and preventatives to the flu Dr Mercola's Guidelines to Preventing the Flu 1 Eat a healthy diet and avoid sugar 2 Get enough rest 3 Eat fresh garlic regularly 4 Use an effective tool to help you address the stress in your life 5 Wash your hands regularly 6 Take fish oil/cod liver oil 7 Exercise regularly The bottom line: Lead a healthy lifestyle year round To help you get on the right track to doing so, I suggest reading my book, TOTAL HEALTH Program, and implementing my diet in your life If you do, chances are you'll never have to worry about coming down with the flu again! Also, I highly recommend the simple five-step Clenzology Advanced Hygiene System, which focuses on superior cleaning of the areas of your body that are most susceptible to the flu -- your hands, face, ears, nose and mouth This hygiene kit is simple to use and only takes a matter of minutes, which makes it ideal for families with young children Most importantly, the Clenzology soap is not antibacterial and it is capable of reaching the tens of thousands of germs on the backs and palms of the hands, on the fingers and under the fingernails PLEASE NOTE: The facial solutions in this kit must be diluted as directed before use If you are pregnant or have a history of thyroid problems consult a physician before using this product ------------------- Dr Joseph Mercola Author of Total Health Program Founder of the renowned Optimal Wellness Center http://wwwMercolacom - The 1 Natural Health Site on the Internet ! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Warts aren't very pleasant and finding one on your body can set you into a mini panic; knowing that they are contagious and can spread means that they need to be treated as soon as possible There are several methods of removing warts and all are not the same A wart is caused by the HPV virus In order to kill the wart you need to kill the virus How you approach wart removal will determine the outcome One of the most common types of wart removal systems can be found in your local drug store It's usually in the form of a liquid You simply apply the liquid to the wart once or twice a day and over time; the liquid will penetrate the root's surface reaching into its core where it will kill it You'll end up with a small hole in your skin where the wart once was This will heal over and the wart will be a distant memory by then This same type of treatment is available in the form of medicated adhesive strips The strips come with the solution pre-applied to them and all you do is open them and stick them to the wart The time frame involved is about the same as are the results If you don't want to wait to get rid of your wart you can visit a doctor for treatment Doctors normally employ a couple of different approaches when it comes to warts One is to use a technique that freezes the wart This is painless and through the use of a special chemical the wart is frozen to the point the virus dies This is especially effective if you have more than one wart Often warts grow in groups and having a doctor freeze them reduces the risk of them spreading even further Another technique that doctors use for wart removal is called electrocautery which in simpler terms means burning the wart The doctor uses a special tool that burns the wart and within a few weeks it develops into a scar which falls off Either of these treatments are effective ways to remove warts In extreme cases where a wart is not responding to treatment your physician might suggest surgery This would involve freezing the immediate area and then cutting the wart and the surrounding tissue out The main concern with this approach is that there is a risk of you developing an infection It's important to note though that a doctor generally won't suggest this unless he feels it's the only way to permanently remove the wart ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ So you decided to have a go at one of your fantasies and actually have sex during your lady's period Next thing on your mind is probably the biggest question: is it safe? Believe it or not, the answer is "yes" As long as you don't mind the mess, sex during menstruation is safe Let me rectify that: about as safe as it can be expected Blood is a medium in which certain infectious agents multiply, so you might want to consider that before starting Also, the chance of getting HIV is probably sky-high with all that blood around Better use a condom if you are not sure of yourself or your partner Still, there is no medical reason why a mutually monogamous couple (which is also free of STDs) should not have sex during menses But if you are not scared by these problems, then you can go right ahead Of course you should wait for your lady to get over the worst days of her period, if you want sex to be any fun that is The best idea is to spread a towel on the bed in order to keep the blood off the sheets, preferably a black or dark red towel You can try any position you want, but your best bet is to stay on top and have the lady below This should limit the flow of blood a little The lady could also put to good use a diaphragm or a menstrual cup in order to keep the blood in, at least for a while The biggest risks brought by sex during menstruation are an increase in the risk of pelvic infections and HIV (because the opening of the cervix widens) and also a higher risk of pregnancy Yep, you read that right: pregnancy Just because your lady is having her period does not mean that you cannot get her pregnant It's rare, I'll grant you that, but it did happen quite a few times Have fun and stay safe ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Men who develop erectile dysfunction should get checked for cardiovascular disease, researchers recommend Men who have problems getting erections should have their heart health assessed, according to researchers who found a strong association between impotence and subsequent development of heart disease This link has been suggested in other studies, but Dr Ian Thompson and his colleagues at the University of Texas Health Science Centre in San Antonio claim theirs is the first to follow a group of healthy men without initial heart problems In a recent report on the study, they say the heart disease risk associated with erectile dysfunction is similar to that linked with a smoking habit or a family history of heart trouble The study involved more than 8,000 men age 55 years or older who were evaluated for heart disease and impotence every three months between 1994 and 2003 at 221 US centres posted on http://wwwgenericrefillscom Among the 4,247 men without erectile dysfunction at the beginning of the study, 57 per cent reported developing it after five years After taking other risk factors such as obesity and high cholesterol into account, the researchers calculated that men who developed erectile dysfunction during the study were 125 times more likely than men without erectile dysfunction to suffer cardiovascular problems such as angina, heart attack, stroke, heart failure or abnormal heartbeat states http://wwwmensgenericscom When the researchers included men who already had erectile dysfunction at the beginning of the study, the relationship with subsequent heart disease was stronger, with a 145 times increased risk ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A study looking at 13 years' worth of data showed that workers who do overtime frequently were 61 percent more likely to become hurt or ill Working more than 12 hours a day raised this risk by more than a third The risk is not necessarily directly related to the hazards of the jobMore likely, long hours induce fatigue or stress in affected workers Researchers looked at over 5,000 work-related injuries and illnesses They found that more than half of them occurred in jobs with extended working hours After studying the data, they concluded that there was a greater risk of injury as the work hours increased BBC News August 17, 2005 Dr Mercola's Comment: This is a great studythat helps emphasize the importance of a prinicple I frequently have to violateIt is not healthy to sleep less than six hours a night, and there are many nights that I go below that, but this is a great reminder that I need to be more vigilant in this area One of the keys that I do abide, though, is getting to bed well before midnight It is rare where I am still awake at after 10 pm This is a major area that many people fail to appreciate the importance of They fail to understand that regularlygoing to sleep after midnight is a sure-fire prescription for devastating your adrenals Studies like this one are great examples why the work-life balance movement is growing steadily in this country If all of your time is spent working, moving and getting things done, you won't have any time left to actually enjoy life, or care for your body It's wise to seek a balance Get the right amount of sleep Many people consider sleep to be time wasted In fact, it is vital for your health You won't get any work done while you're sick, either, so get the rest you need Put aside enough time to incorporate a routine exercise program into your life Exercising should come naturally in your daily life You'll feel better for it, and the extra energy you get from it will let you work better when you are working Instead of a rushed meal of fast food, take the time to prepare and eat healthy, natural choices Form good eating habits by finding your personal metabolic type Give yourself time to care for your overall emotional health I recommend taking some time out of your day to use the energy psychology tool Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) It is a psychological acupressure technique that can help you to channel your stress-related thoughts and leave you feeling calmer and more able to face your challenges If you spend all your time working, you'll wreck your health Take the time to care for yourself, and your life will be better for it Related Articles: Stressed About Office Work?

		<description><![CDATA[ Vioxx is a prescription medication that has been used primarily in the treatment of signs and symptoms of arthritis, but has also been prescribed to treat acute pain in adults and menstrual pain in women It is a Cox-2 selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID Other Cox -2 selective NSAIDs on the market are Celebrex and Bextra Vioxx is also related to nonselective NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen In September of 2004, its manufacturer, Merck Co, voluntarily recalled Vioxx worldwide, due to safety concerns The FDA issued a public advisory regarding the safety of Vioxx, though it was pulled from the market before the FDA had an opportunity to do a thorough review During a clinical trial in which Vioxx was being studied for its effectiveness for preventing the recurrence of colon polyps and as well as its long term safety, the study had to be halted because of the observed risk of increased cardiovascular risk after 18 months of continuous treatment with 25mg of Vioxx as opposed to those receiving a placebo (sugar pill) Merck pulled the drug from the market when the study confirmed longstanding concerns about the drug and demonstrated that the regular use of Vioxx doubled the patient’s risk of heart attack or stroke if used regularly and for a prolonged period The FDA originally approved Vioxx in May 1999 At that time, their data, which included approximately 5,000 patients, did not indicate an increased risk for heart attack and strokes However, later studies such as the one involving colon polyps, and another to study the effects of Vioxx upon stomach ulcers, show a correlation between the regular use of Vioxx and increased risk for heart attack or stroke After the recall of Vioxx, many doctors have recommended patients switch to other Cox-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex or Bextra, however, these medications have raised health concerns as well Other patients have been advised to treat their symptoms with NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen Vioxx Help Center The Vioxx MDL is 1657: Section L Correspondence with Judge Eldon E Fallon may be sent to the following address: Honorable Eldon E Fallon United States District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana 500 Poydras Street, Room C-456 New Orleans, LA 70130 Tel:(504) 589-7545 Fax: (504) 589-6966 Web Site: Vioxx Product Liability Wayne Walker is president of CapTran, the leader in litigation financial services http://wwwcaptrancom © 2005 Capital Transaction Group Inc ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Guidant Corporation has just recalled thousands of cardiac defibrillators around the world because of potentially fatal failures with the devices This recall happened on Friday, June 17 2005 after at least two deaths have occurred since the end of May As of now there are about 38,000 patients in the US with Guidant brand defibrillators and reports have indicated these machines have failed 45 times so far The FDA said in a statement that they did not mandate Guidant to recall their products, but still supported the decision Guidant has known that there were potential problems with the Prizm 2 DR model defibrillator, however they continued to market it but demanded a complete redesign of the unit The model had failed on a few occasions before 2002, but Guidant claimed that the new revisions would make it safer Later, in 2004, doctors discovered that Contak Renewal defibrillators built before August 26, 2004 demonstrated a high risk of short circuiting and failing to function properly When Guidant was presented with these two problems they decided it was in their best interest to publicly recall their defective products This however is providing little comfort to the 50,000 people who continue to live in constant fear that their life-saving equipment might fail them when they need it most To learn more about the Guidant Defibrillator recall please visit http://wwwsddefenselawyerscom/guidant-defibrillator-recall/ This article may be freely republished as long as this resource box is included and all links stay in tact as hyper links ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Back injuries are the leading cause of disability in the United States for people younger than 45 years of age and have been the most expensive health care problem for the 30-50 year old age group [Bureau of Labor Statistics Lost work time injuries and illnesses: Characteristics and resulting time away from work US Department of Labor, Washington, DC, 1998] There is evidence that low back belts are helpful in protecting the worker from low back injury However, there is a pervasive feeling that wearing these belts confers absolute protection That is not the case Workers need to be instructed in proper lifting techniques The back belts need to be part of a comprehensive program of back care stressing proper ergonomics, correcting potential back overload situations, and educating workers on injury avoidance At the same time workers need to be screened for cardiovascular risk Mounting data indicates these back belts are responsible for significant increases in blood pressure and heart rate Obviously, this poses a hazard for patients who already have other risk factors for cardiovascular disease Finally, the worker should be told not to wear the belt for extended periods of time In addition, workers should be instructed in proper core strengthening techniques along with general overall fitness “Back school” education and assessment of the job site for proper ergonomics is also recommended Summary tips: • Maintain ideal weight • Exercise regularly • Maintain proper body mechanics and core strengthening • Learn proper lifting techniques and make sure the work area is ergonomically “friendly” • Use back belts judiciously • Get your heart and blood pressure checked out Dr Wei (pronounced “way”) is a board-certified rheumatologist and Clinical Director of the nationally respected Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center of Maryland He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and has served as a consultant to the Arthritis Branch of the National Institutes of Health He is a Fellow of the American College of Rheumatology and the American College of Physicians For more information on arthritis and related conditions, go to: http://wwwarthritis-treatment-and-reliefcom ]]></description>
