BEWARE-Warning Signs of Cervical Cancer!

Cervical cancer is a cancer arising from the cervix. It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

The American Cancer Society estimates that about 12,900 new cases of cervical cancer will be diagnosed and about 4,100 women will die from this disease in 2015. These estimations are shocking but true.

Cervical cancer symptoms



  • Vaginal bleeding: This includes bleeding between periods, after sexual intercourse or post-menopausal bleeding.
  • Pelvic pain: Pain during intercourse or at other times may be a sign of abnormal changes to the cervix, or less serious conditions.
  • Unusual vaginal discharge: A watery, pink or foul-smelling discharge is common.
(should be discussed with your doctor)

Signs of advanced stages of cervical cancer

Cervical cancer may spread (metastasize) within the pelvis, to the lymph nodes or elsewhere in the body. Signs of advanced cervical cancer include:


  • Weight loss
  • Fatigue
  • Back pain
  • Leg pain or swelling
  • Leakage of urine or feces from the vagina
  • Bone fractures

Being an adult woman, if you notice any unusual changes or symptoms affecting your reproductive organs, consult your doctor.

With knowledge of the risk factors and warning signs of cervical cancer, you can save yourself and others from a lifetime of suffering.

People Don’t Often Recognize Symptoms Of Blood Clots, Leading to Late Detection Hence Death, Here’s Everything You Need to Know.

According to the National Blood Clot Alliance ,most blood clots are treatable, but about one in three of those diagnosed with a blood clot may die. MedicineNet further explains that blood clots form inside veins or arteries as part of the body’s effort to repair damage to a blood vessel. But if a clot, which is a gelled mass made of blood platelets and fibrin, forms inappropriately inside the blood vessel, it can cause major problems. This is because when a clot forms where it’s not supposed to, blood flow is decreased, which can seriously harm your body. However, the major concern is that people don’t often  recognize the symptoms leading to late detection.


Blood Clot Causes
Blood clots can be caused by a myriad of health issues, conditions and lifestyle choices, according to MedicineNet and the National Blood Clot Alliance. These include:


– Heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation and heart rhythm disturbance
– Pregnancy and up to six weeks after the baby is born
– The use of birth control methods that contain estrogen, such as the pill, patch or ring
– Hormone replacement therapy that contains estrogen
– Prolonged immobilization, like sitting on a flight and not moving for a long period or sitting for a while with your legs crossed
– Major surgery, especially orthopedic procedures where casts and splints are placed and the patient is immobilized  (pelvis, abdomen, hip and knee surgeries pose high-risk factors)
– Broken bone or severe muscle injury
– Blood clot disorders, like Factor V Leiden
– Cancer and cancer treatment
– Obesity

Blood Clot Symptoms
Blood clots form in your blood vessels (known as deep vein thrombosis), but they can also break off and travel to your lungs (pulmonary embolism). Both blood clot conditions have different symptoms that are important to be aware of.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Symptoms
According to the National Blood Clot Alliance, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when blood clots form in one of the deep veins of your body, like in your legs or arms. When these blood clots form, the area usually swells and becomes tender, and the pain can be described as a cramp, muscle soreness or a charley horse.

The area where the DVT has formed usually distorts the skin color, turning the area a reddish or bluish color. The DTV area will also feel warm to the touch. It’s important to contact your doctor as soon as you recognize any of these symptoms because you may need treatment right away.

Pulmonary Embolism Symptoms
It’s important to catch a DVT early on because it can cause major damage, or even break off the vein and travel to your lungs. The signs of pulmonary embolism (PE), according to the National Blood Clot Alliance, are sudden shortness of breath, sharp chest pain that may feel like stabbing and get worse with deep breaths, rapid heart rate, unexplained cough — sometimes with bloody mucus. If you have any of these symptoms, you should call 911 immediately or head to an emergency room.

Detection
According to the National Blood Clot Alliance, an ultrasound is usually used to pinpoint where the clot is in the body. If the ultrasound doesn’t show a clot, though, and the patient is still experiencing symptoms, an MRI can also be used to detect the clot. There’s also a D-dimer test, which tests the blood for the clues that the clotting process has begun.

Treatment
MedicineNet reports that depending upon the location of the blood clot and its cause, treatment may require surgery for its removal. Blood clots can also be treated with anticoagulation medications, which thin the blood. Treatment may include a combination of the two.

Prevention
Blood clot prevention heavily relies on paying attention to the risk factors, which include risks of vascular disease, smoking, heavy weight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, according to MedicineNet. The National Blood Clot Alliance also notes the importance of knowing your personal risk factors, like family blood clot history, and being able to recognize the signs and symptoms of blood clots.
Another prevention method suggested by the National Blood Clot Alliance is getting up and moving if you’ve been sitting or traveling for a long period of time. The alliance also says it’s important if you’ve had surgery or you’re sick and confined to a bed to talk to your doctor about your options for preventing blood clots.

Why Is This Hiden From The Public: Top 10 Cancer Causes That We Use Daily!

Cancer is one of the biggest treats nowadays, taking too many lives each year. It can be caused by many things that are hidden from the public so the pharmaceutical industry can profit from the illness.
Here is the list of those products:

1. Hormones present in milk and meat

In order to increase the milk and meat production, most of the domestic animals are fed with artificial hormones. These artificial hormones may trigger inflammations, cancer, and other diseases.

2. Mammography, dental X-rays, scanners at the airport
All of these are deadly rays that cause cancer and the reason we do them are to prevent it or react on time.

3. Aluminum present in deodorants and antiperspirants

Usually breast cancer happens near the armpit, right where we apply deodorants, which are filled with aluminum. The best option is to use homemade or organic deodorants.

4. Toxic cosmetics

We need to take care of our skin, which is our largest organ, but still we use preparatuve or decorative cosmetics that highly include petroleum and coal tar. These toxins go through the skin into the bloodstream. Use organic or homemade cosmetics instead.

5. GMO soy and corn

Most of the soy in America is genetically modified, while soy milk includes hemagglutinin, an ingredient that makes the red corpuscles into clots. Moreover, the soy increases the estrogen. Choose organic milk, no matter what type you like.

6. Artificial sweeteners

Not only refined sugar is GMO, but also it fast increases the levels of insulin. Fructose, which is found in soda is a serious cancer cause as well. It contains caramel color, which is a carcinogen. Soda acidifies the body, which as a result makes cancer cells to multiply. Limit your consumption of refined sugars and avoid sodas.

7. Fluoridated water

Well, this is not a mineral naturally found or purified water passing through the pipes. The fluoride is polluting the water and flushes out the minerals from the body and so weakens the immunity. Drink spring water.

8. Drugs, vaccines

Take advices from doctors you can trust about a lifestyle and nutrition that will help you prevent cancer. Avoid drugs from sound names in the pharmaceutical industry whose aim is to make profit.

9. Canned goods

Canned goods are bad because most cans are lined with bisphenol-A (BPA), a product which is shown to genetically changes the brain cells of rats.

10. Commercial soaps, shampoos, toothpastes, creams

You need to remember than the things we apply to our skin, hair, or teeth end in the bloodstream. Some suspicious substances, including perfumes and colors can lead to cancer. Choose organic and natural cosmetics.

5 Daily Rituals That Are Harmful To Women In The Long Run

Wearing The Same Menstrual Pad Through the Day


1. Wearing The Same Menstrual Pad Through the Day Save

Sometimes you’re hit with a heavy flow that demands you change pads every 2-3 hours and then there are times where there’s such light spotting you’re almost convinced your period’s bid you adieu.

According to experts, one must change their sanitary towels every 5 hours. This ensures the prevention of any potential infections or growth of microorganisms in the lush, warm environment of your used pad.



2. Washing The Vagina With Soap

Your private part needs cleansing too but it also has self cleansing mechanism inside. Just wash it off with war water and that is enough

Also perversely, by cleansing with soap you actually destroy the population of good bacteria residing in your vagina, thereby increasing your risk of contracting bacterial vaginosis

3. Sleeping With A Bra On

Contrary to what our mothers may bemoan, not wearing a bra doesn’t lead to your breasts sagging. In fact quite the opposite is true!

According to a study conducted by the University of Besançon, France, which followed women for 15 years, it was found that bras were a false necessity. “Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity. On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra.” Says Prof. Rouillon, one of the lead researchers.

The study concluded that the “support” of a bra in the women, ages 18 to 35, who volunteered for the study, actually led to a weakening of their chest muscles, making their breasts droop over time. On the other hand, volunteers who forwent a bra showed a 7mm lesser sagging in comparison!
4. Spraying Deodorant Directly On Our Skin

Research indicates that this prevalent practice could potentially lead to breast cancer. Your deodorant is made up of several toxic chemicals like aluminum, parabens, phthalates, and triclosan, which once sprayed directly upon your skin can potentially enter your bloodstream. From there, really the world is their oyster. Nobody can fault you for wanting to smell clean and fragrant. However, it’s best to play it safe and spritz over your clothes in the future.

5. Braving The Sun Without Any Protection

In the course of our hectic schedules sometimes we skip the sunscreen and decide to brave the sun without any defense. But the horror stories of sun damage aren’t urban legends created by greedy skincare companies. Oh no, my friend, they’re very real and very scary. Not only does no sun protection put you at risk of skin cancer, but it also accelerates the process of premature aging

17 Signs Of Mold Illness (And How To Tell If You’re At Risk)

One may not be able to see or smell mold. Yet it may be growing in the home and it is a reason one feels sick, because mold poisoning may be impacting health. How we can know if there is? Funny but, most likely regular doctor won’t be of much help, because conventional medicine doesn’t believe mold exposure is a real root of problem. It is difficult to diagnose someone with mold toxicity- it may mimic many other conditions and symptoms which are nonspecific.

Symptoms of Mold Illness

Fatigue, or weakness, post-exercise malaise and also fatigue
Memory problems, brain fog and trouble focusing and execute function
Muscle cramp, aches and pains, joint pain with no inflammatory arthritis, also persistent nerve pain, “ice pick” pain
Headache
Numbness and tingling
Red eyes, light sensitivity, and/or blurred vision
Sinus problems, coug and, shortness of breath, air hunger and asthma-like symptoms
Tremors
Vertigo
Persistent nerve pain, abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea, appetite changes
Metallic taste
Weight gain despite a sufficient effort (weight loss resistance)
Night sweats, problems with temperature regulation
Excessive thirst
Increased urination
Static “shocks”

The Low-down on Mold

Molds are multiple types of fungi which grow in filaments. They reproduce by forming tiny spores which sprout and fly away and they are invisible to the naked eye. Mold grows in warm damp, and humid locations, inside and also outside. Even in a dry location as Arizona or Nevada, mold is a problem if there are water leaks, poorly ventilated bathrooms, also floods.

Mold grows in bathroom, showerhead, or corner near your shower, particularly if it is not well ventilated. Mold can attack your shoes, and pets, clothes, carpets and furniture, books and papers. Mold also can circulate in air system ( recommendation is to change HVAC filters once every month or three months!)

Moreover water-damaged buildings are creating complicated mixture of contaminants present in the air. It is resulting in a toxic chemical stew. Also, mold produces toxic chemicals- mycotoxins, present on spores and fragments of mold into the air.

1.No single toxin is responsible for all mold illness-rather think of cause as the water-damaged area or building itself.

2.Half of buildings in the United States are water damaged and they are leading to mold growth and potential for mold illness.

Why mold is a problem?

Mold toxicity is in larger category of biotoxin illness, known as Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). The author of eight books, Ritchie Shoemaker, MD, knows everything about mold and defines CIRS this way:

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is acute and chronic systemic inflammatory response which acquired following to exposure to interior environment of a water-damaged building. There resident toxigenic organisms, including and not limited to fungi and bacteria, actinomycetes and mycobacterium as well as inflammagens
24 % of people cannot make adequate antibody response, and they’re comprise over 95 percent of people that are ill from water-damaged buildings.

3.This leads to next topic, and it is the role of DNA in making more or less susceptible to mold illness.

Why Some People Are Susceptible

Aapproximately 24% of the population is genetically vulnerable; have a certain immune response gene (HLA-DR). They have an adverse reaction to mold if exposed to a sufficient quantity. 95 % of mold illness occurs in this so called -subgroup. Additionally, 2 % are particularly susceptible a “sicker quicker” variation of the genes. If you aren’t susceptible then, your chances are lower but they are not zero.

People genetically mold susceptible aren’t able to recognize specific toxins as toxins- as mold- toxins get recirculated in their bodies. In this case mold, triggers a persistent inflammatory response and most of these folks don’t really know they have a genetic susceptibility. And mold illness got from water-damaged buildings is serious health problem.

4..This illness is not an allergy, but it’s a state of chronic inflammation caused by immune system that is becoming out of whack. CIRS doesn’t heal on its own, also will not abate, and continues to provoke illness unless it’s treated properly. Illness is built into DNA and once it is triggered, inflammatory response and resulting symptoms can last for years.

CIRS Defined

Experts have agreed that you need to meet the following criteria to make a diagnosis of CIRS

History, signs and symptoms consistent with biotoxin exposure. With in cases of mold toxicity history includes exposure to toxin-producing molds as it is documented by EPA-approved ERMI test. Other cases (microcystin, ciguatera), history includes likely exposure or laboratory evidence of exposure.
Genetic predisposition to biotoxin-related illness, which is based on identification of HLA susceptible haplotype.
Abnormalities which are documented by Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS) test.
Biomarkers consistent with neuroimmune, also vascular and endocrine abnormalities characterize CIRS. History consistent with biotoxin exposure, and susceptible genotype, with abnormal VCS test, means one is very likely to show laboratory abnormalities seen in CIRS.

What to Do Next

If you suspect of a problem with mold, follow these steps.

Step 1. Learn about mold illness and start with Dr. Shoemaker who has excellent website and also book- Surviving Mold.

Step 2. Test your home for mold presence. The best test is an ERMI-hire an environmental professional to perform visual inspection. You can also perform an ERMI on your own with one at a lower price (about $325) but, it is helpful if it’s positive only, and it means still you’ll need to hire an environmental professional. We suggest -skip the self-testing.

Step 3. Work with a clinician which is trained with the Shoemaker Protocol.

6 Early Signs Of Decreased Level Of Potassium In The Body

Potassium is an important mineral and we need to have its levels optimized in our body. If its levels are decreased, we end up having various health problems. Still, there are some signs that can show you whether you are deficient in potassium or not.

Potassium is especially important for the function of our heart and body muscles.

About 98% of the potassium is found in our cells, so when that is changed, we can end up having damaged nerves, heart and muscles.



Here, we’re presenting you 6 early signs of decreased levels of potassium in your body:

GENERAL FATIGUE
This symptom is one of the most general. If you feel very tired and you haven’t overworked, then potassium deficiency may be in question.

If the amount of potassium in our body is proper, then our cells would also function well. When the level of potassium is decreased, our organs and cells will have endangered functions.

If you’ve noticed this sign and you haven’t worked too much or did something with effort, consult your doctor to check if you are deficient in potassium.


FEEL BLOATED ALL THE TIME
Bloating induced by salt can be caused by potassium deficiency, because our body tries to regulate our normal levels of sodium at that time.

NUMBNESS AND TINGLING
Our nerves can also be affected if we are deficient in potassium. Annoying needles and pins sensation can appear because of potassium deficiency.



CONSTIPATION
Our whole body suffers because of a decrease in our potassium levels. Our digestion becomes slowed down which can also cause bloating and cramping.

Bloating can also appear because of the intake of various foods.


HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
The effects sodium has can be minimized by potassium. It is very important to eat foods rich in potassium so that we can regulate our blood pressure.


HEART PALPITATIONS
Decreased levels of potassium can also affect the health of our hear. Heart palpitations and irregular heartbeat rhythm are only some of the signs.

The rhythmic and coordinated contractions which are regulated by the electrical impulses can also be affected. Intake sufficient amounts of potassium so that you can prevent heart attacks, strokes and heart diseases.

Symptoms of Vaginal Cancer – How to Identify

More than 80% of women with invasive vaginal cancer have one or more of the following symptoms. In addition, vaginal carcinoma is usually a metastasis of another cancer, which may or may not be located in the reproductive system, although it is more common for a woman to initially develop cervical or vulvar cancer. Symptoms of vaginal cancer such as bleeding after intimate contact and foul-smelling vaginal discharge usually appear between 50 and 70 years of age in women infected with the HPV virus.

Most of the time the cancerous tissues are located in the inner part of the vagina, and no alterations are visible in the outer region, so the diagnosis can only be made based on imaging tests indicated by the gynecologist or oncologist. So check out the Cancer Symptoms in Vagina.

Main symptoms of cancer in the vagina They may include:


  • Sweating with foul smell.
  • Bleeding out of the menstrual period.
  • Pain during intimate contact.
  • Bleeding after intimate contact.
  • Urgency to urinate.
  • Pain or burning on urination.


Symptoms of cancer of the vagina are also present in numerous other diseases that affect the region, so it is important to go to routine gynecological appointments and periodically do the preventive examination, also called a pap smear.

To make the diagnosis of the disease, the gynecologist scrapes the tissue from the surface inside the vagina for biopsy. However, it is possible to observe a naked eye or a suspicious area during a routine gynecological examination.

The treatment will vary depending on the type of cancer that the woman has and her staging, but can be done through radiotherapy or removal of the tissues affected by the disease through surgery. Chemotherapy is indicated for palliative treatment only for the relief of symptoms.

Having one or more of these symptoms does not mean that you will have a disease like cancer. In fact, some of these symptoms are more likely to be caused by a benign disease, such as an infection. The only way to know for sure what is causing these problems is to see a doctor.

If you experience any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor immediately. Remember, the earlier the cause is diagnosed, the earlier you can initiate treatment if necessary and have a better chance of healing.
