Heart Smart is A Perfect Start

Hello again everyone,

This time I'm going to be a little more specific on my subjects of discussion. Rather than take a general look, I would like to tell you exactly how different foods and nutrients can have a more direct effect on each and every part of your body,

Let's take your heart. The strongest single muscle in the human body. What can you do to keep it healthy? First, eat a heart healthy diet. Low fat dairy products,lean meats,whole grain breads,a variety of fruits and vegetables, get fats from fish and nuts, use herb seasonings or pepper instead of salt and most important you have to keep your portions in proportion. Don't over eat if possible.

Now if I may get a little more technical you can break down the fatty fish into the( proven to help with heart disease) omega 3 fatty acids. Also, foods high in C,E and Beta Carotene are good. There are many nutrients proven to help the heart. You will find a list in the book by Douglas Grant called Natural Cures. You can get a copy at our website if you would like.

One of the most important ways to control heart disease is to get regular, blood pumping exercise every day. It gets all the nutrients and oxygen to all of your body along with the fact that you are strengthening your heart as well.

Next time I'll get into the causes and preventions of hypertension and high blood pressure.Until then, eat smart,exercise and stay away from tobacco products and excessive alcohol use. You will feel the difference.

Good Health To You,

Root Canal Disinfectants Antibiotics Prove Inadequate to Eradicate Bacteria

The bacteria dentists use to determine whether treatment of a root canal infection has been successful, namely the absence of discomfort and pain; x-ray evidence that abscessed areas, granulomas and cysts have completely filled in with new bone; and trust that the medicaments used in producing these results completely eradicated bacteria, all proved inadequate when such teeth were subjected to further testing by Dr. Price and his group.

Testing for the preseence of bacteria in root canal, after the use of disinfectants which appeared to have controlled the infections, proved that the organisms had not been eradicated.

Dr. Price, in making cultures after the use of over 100 different medicaments, including different strengths of each, found only eight which had negative responses after 24 hours, and only two after 48 hours of incubation; longer periods were found to be ineffective as medicaments lost their disinfecting power.

The two most efficient medicaments proved to be objectionable - silver nitrate because it turned teeth black and formalin because it was very irritating and painful to patients and destructive to surrounding tissues.

Though culturing to determine whether bacteria had been killed was formerly taught and practiced, I know of no dentists using such a testing procedure today.

Dr. Price in another series of tests took extracted infected teeth and treated them (much easier to do aseptically outside of the mouth) and found when these teeth were sectioned their dentin and cementum were still infected.

In still another investigation, Dr. Price made biopsy sections at and below the gum line and found bacteria present not only in the root of the teeth and their protective cementum but also in the first millimeter or two of adjacent bone. The importance of this factor in causing cavitations in bone after extractions will be discussed in a later chapter.
---------------------------------------------------
Dr. Price noted future developments might bring forth medicaments which are more successful. You will all be thinking that antibiotics are certainly the answer. However, antibiotics have not proven able to effectively penetrate the dentin tubules, cementum and adjacent bone sufficiently to eradicate these bacteria.
---------------------------------------------------

Testing of new medicaments, and current efforts such as new laser treatment methods, are of course necessary and were anticipated by Dr. Price.

All of these root canal side-effect problems should not deter the profession from continuing to explore new methods of how to save teeth. While we cannot learn how to save teeth by extracting them, Dr. Price fortunately has shown us ways to test procedures to prove whether infection has been eradicated in teeth we think we have saved.

Ways To Show Your Support of the Alzheimer?s Patient and Caregiver

At some period in your life, somebody you know may become impacted by Alzheimer?s disease. And if it is a close friend or family member, you can display your support of the Alzheimer?s patient and the health professional through many ways. Alzheimer?s can be a lonely disease, but with your aid and support, it does not have to be. Following are some useful tips on ways you can affect the lives of the health care provider as well as the patient with the disease.

Don?t be unsociable or dodge the person in your life with Alzheimer?s disease. Go see them and let them know you are thinking about them. Talk with the health care provider and see when is the best times to visit. Oftentimes, Alzheimer?s sufferers might be more rested in the mornings or right after an afternoon nap. Wearing them out often worsens the symptoms of the disease. Patience and a friendly ear are a must in your visit. If they are still relatively rational, they may want to ease themselves to a caring friend.

Be ready to tell why you are there to visit, if they do not identify you. Sometimes, you may have to do this a couple times during your stay. Talk using smaller sentences and use body gestures like hand movements to make a point in the conversation. While they may not comprehend some of the words you are presenting, many can still translate body language up to a point. Also allow the Alzheimer?s patient a lot of time to answer inquiries or make conversation. Don?t feel unsure about motivating them with a word or two if their train of thought seems to drift.

Express joy and think back about past happenings that you may have done together. They may not recall the situation, but they can certainly savor the story. Bring out picture albums and talk about the people and places in the pictures. Share a function whether it is a craft or a walk in the park or snatching an ice cream cone. Most of all, squeezes and smiles can break through the roadblocks that sometimes words cannot.

Backing the caregiver is all so important. Sometimes, coping with somebody who has a sickness can be lonely and they might feel left behind without support. Give them a lifeline and pay close attention to them. Sit down with a drink and let them talk to you. Help them with tasks. If you are at the store, give them a phone call and see if they need anything. Ask if you can assist around the house, whether it be cutting the grass or preparing a meal.

Volunteer to sit with their loved one stricken with Alzheimer?s so that they can go do something for themselves. Having solitary time is essential for emotional health and they may need the break. Giving them the time works marvels and they can come back to their role as health care provider with more eagerness. Most significantly, keep in touch, particularly if you don?t live near them. A phone call or letter works great and helps the caregiver feel less detached from the world.
