Differences In Format Of Ovulation Testing | Medicine

March 31st, 2010 annie No comments

 When asked what nuisances can surface with detecting for contraception, monetary issues surface from time to time. If they do, the most simple and effective solution to detect for the heightened hormone which triggers around a day before a woman ovulates is a traditional ovulation test dipstrip. A specimen of urine will be needed to be collected in a sanitized plastic cup, once this is done the dipstrip is placed into the solution where it is indicated to do so. Ordinarily the saturat

ion time will be around six seconds before one is to look and see if they have heightened LH levels for the next 12-36 hours. Something to keep in mind is that a woman will often need to test for at least a week or two before she will see when her cycle begins and when she begins to ovulate. The time of day should be kept as close as possible when testing and any liquid intake needs to be reduced for at least two hours prior to testing to avoid dilution. It’s fair to also assume that even an ir

Almost identical to the dipstrip in how it is used, the main advantage of the urine ovulation test cassette is that it limits the amount of human error that can often be flawed in other methods of tes

ting. Getting distracted for a few seconds while waiting for a dipstrip to soak the solution can often overexpose or utterly negate any results on a test, the cassette is designed to be much simpler to use. With only a slightly increased cost over the dipstrip, it provides faster results which are easier to read as one places roughly five droplets of water through a pipette into the spot indicated for test absorption. While some care needs to be used when ensuring only five droplets are absorbed on the pad, any error regarding time isn’t a factor.

Lastly we come to the Ovulation Midstream Urine Test, the fastest and most easily concealed method of testing, it is perfect for those who just don’t have the time to sit down for ten or fifteen minutes, get out a specimen cup and go through the processes required with the dipstrip or cassette tests. The midstream tests comes in a sleek cartridge that opens up to expose a detection pad which must be saturated with urine before it can work. You will want to hold a stream on the pad for about six seconds before one can test to see if they are ovulating. This product is perfect for those with busy schedules, it is easily accessible, small and portable and will show results through two purple bands of similar color to determine heightened LH levels.

 When determining which of these tests to use, you should consider that the only differences between them is in the amount of human error that can cause them to fail. From the cost effective dipstrip, to the sleek and extremely fast midstream test to the cassette test which has the least amount of error possible, it is circumstance and comfort which ultimately outcomes which to choose.

Fish Oil Capsules – Can They Replace Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs? | Supplements and Vitamins

March 31st, 2010 annie No comments

Let’s face it.  When it comes to heart health, some sources say that fish oil capsules can never replace cholesterol-lowering drugs.  This article is not intended to be medical advice.  But, anyone that is considering cholesterol-lowering statin drugs should be aware of a few facts.

First of all, statins can decrease cholesterol production to the point that uncomfortable or even dangerous side effects are noted.  People have experienced depression and sexual dysfunction, aphasia

and muscle pain while on the drugs.  Once the drugs were stopped, the symptoms stopped.

The muscle pain is a common side effect that can be deadly.  It is caused by a lack of coenzyme Q10 in the muscles.

Statins work by interfering with a biochemical pathway that ends with the production of cholesterol.  This is the same biochemical pathway through which coenzyme Q10 is produced.

Coenzyme Q10 has never been classified as an “essential” nutrient.  The essential nutrients are those

that must be present in the diet; vitamin A, C, D and E are examples.

Non-essential nutrients are those that can be produced within the body.  Coenzyme Q10 is naturally produced within the body.  But, statins can decrease COQ10 levels by 40% or more.

Fish oil capsules do not interfere with the body’s production of COQ10.  Supplementation has been shown to increase good HDL cholesterol levels and decrease bad LDL cholesterol levels.

At larger doses, the supplements have been shown t

o lower fats or triglycerides in the bloodstream.  The prescription drug LOVAZA is simply purified fish oil.  It is approved by the US FDA for the treatment of very high triglycerides.

There is actually a great deal of controversy surrounding the use of statin drugs.  There is even some controversy concerning the relationship between high cholesterol and heart disease.

The plaque that causes hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis is composed of fat.  There is no doubt about that.  But, the fat has become oxidized.  When oxidation is involved, a lack of beneficial antioxidants is usually involved.

Research indicates that some fish oil capsules have antioxidant activity.  There are other benefits to the heart, as well.

The supplement has natural anti-coagulant activity, meaning that it thins the blood and reduces the risk of blood clots.  They help to stabilize irregular heartbeats, as well.

In addition to all of the benefits to the heart, there are dozens of benefits to other parts of the body.  To say that fish oil capsules cannot replace statin-drugs may or may not be true.  Recent research seems to indicate that statins are not that beneficial.  But, the mainstream medical community is still sold on them.

Personally, I am sold on the benefits of omega-3s.  As long as you choose a good brand, there are benefits to every part of the body, particularly the brain.

Make no mistake about it.  An omega-3 called DHA is essential for normal brain health and function.  It is only found in fatty fish, some kinds of seafood and marine algae.  If you don’t eat those foods or take fish oil capsules, you’re not getting any DHA.

Eczema On Feet | Diseases

March 31st, 2010 annie No comments

Eczema is a skin condition that causes your skin to become very dry, irritated, and inflamed. It is very uncomfortable and can cause annoyance in your life. The dry skin condition can appear anywhere on your body, and there are different types of eczema. One place where it can occur often and be hard to manage is on your feet. There are many reasons that it appears on your feet such as being on your feet all day at work or wearing shoes made from material that may trigger a flare up. He

re is some information about causes, symptoms, treatment, and shoe solutions for eczema on feet.

There are different factors that can cause a flare up on your feet. The most common cause is from the shoes you wear. A lot of shoes are made with dyes, different materials, and closed toe. It can be hard for your feet to breathe when you are wearing closed toe shoes all day or while you are working out for example. Leather shoes and sneaks are triggers for foot eczema.

How can you tell the difference between dry feet or eczema? There are characteristic symptoms of feet eczema that will help you determine if you have the condition. Your skin will become very dry and itchy. It is usually very red and may have puss filled bumps on it. Your feet can become swollen or inflamed. It will often appear on the soles of y

our feet. If the skin is not cracked it may look somewhat glazed over.

Treating eczema on your feet can be difficult because you have to wear shoes throughout the day. When a flare up occurs it is best to keep your feet moisturized with eczema oil and lotions. The lotion should be chemical free and not heavily scented. You can also rotate your shoes because it is not good to wear the same pair every day. If you are wearing closed toe shoes wear cotton socks because your feet will be able to breathe in the material. It is also helpful to find shoes that are breathable. If the symptoms of your flare up go away, keep treating the area to prevent future flare ups.

When possible, wear open toe shoes or something that your feet can breathe in. When you do have to wear closed toe ones, wear cotton socks with them. Leather shoes are triggers for eczema, so weather other materials. A lot of shoes are made from leather so buy a few pairs to rotate throughout the week. Sandals are great because your feet will not rub against the material and cause irritation.

Improving Your Health With The Agaricus Extract | Alternative Medicine

March 31st, 2010 annie No comments

The extract comes from the Agaricus mushroom. There is more than one variety of this mushroom. There’s the Agaricus campestris, Agaricus blazei and Agaricus bisporus (the one most commonly eaten in the West). The blazei variety was being used in Japan medicinally since in 1993 although collected in Brazil.

There is no industry standard for the extract process, so it can vary from one company to the next. There is more than one way to perform the extraction process. It can be done with

water, alcohol, heat or hexane. The most easily digested are the ones done with hot water or alcohol. Choose a company you can trust.

The blazei extract is widely used in Japan in conjunction with cancer treatment. A study was done in Japan regarding the effects of the extract on cancer. The blazei extract was given to cancer patients in two stages. In stage one the white blood cells excreted a compound that kills cancer cells. In stage two after the cancer cells were weak it was given again a

nd another compound was excreted. This compound killed the cancer cells. The extract can slow or stop the growth of tumors and metastasis.

Another study showed the effects of it on the kidneys. Patients who had kidney failure and were considered terminally ill were given the extract. Most of them showed improvement in kidney function in some cases reversal of kidney damage. There was a great improvement in immune system function which is what is believed to have contributed to strengthening the

kidneys.

There have been studies done regarding digestion and the intestines. It has been found to be a blood purifier as it has the ability to detoxify. The studies show that the chemicals that build in the intestines due to the breakdown of protein and fat are reduced or eliminated by the introduction of the extract. These chemicals can cause anxiety, forgetfulness and depression when they reach the blood. Digestion in general can be improved.

The overall effect appears to be on the immune system. There is strong evidence that it is greatly strengthened therefore improving many diseases within the body. Improving lung conditions such as asthma by relaxing bronchial passages. Cholesterol can be lowered, bone marrow built, blood flow increased to the heart, better liver function and an irregular heart beat normalized. All these have been studied and found improved.

The many benefits of the Agaricus extract are still being studied. It appears there are multiple benefits from its use. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence and science is trying to catch up with proof. There have been almost no side effects associated with it. To be safe it is suggested that the extract be taken just three times a week. One week off per month is also a good idea. It should be treated as a supplement and you can still reap the benefits of it with this limited schedule.
