Easiest ways to cope with Mesothelioma

I am a student of MD and I had to submit a project in the college, containing all information on the disease named ‘Mesothelioma’. I did not know anything about the disease, but I got complete information through the website http://www.mesotheliomamedical.com/ . I would like to share some important information that would help the patients of Mesothelioma. No doubt, the disease is a deadly one. However, one can cope with it easily, if he or she follows some good nutritional habits and appropriate work out plan and take some vitamin supplements. In this way, he or she can live a life happily and actively.

What is epiglottitis? How to prevent from epiglottitis?

Overview

Epiglottitis is a medical emergency that may result in death if not treated quickly. Epiglottitis is inflammation of the epiglottis - the flap that sits at the base of the tongue, which keeps food from going into the trachea (windpipe). Due to its place in the airway, swelling of this structure can interfere with breathing and constitutes a medical emergency. The infection can cause the epiglottis to either obstruct or completely close off the windpipe. When it gets infected and inflamed, it can obstruct, or close off, the windpipe, which may be fatal unless promptly treated.

Respiratory infection, environmental exposure, or trauma may result in inflammation and infection of other structures around the throat. This infection and inflammation may spread to involve the epiglottis as well as other upper airway structures. Epiglottitis usually begins as an inflammation and swelling between the base of the tongue and the epiglottis. This may cause the throat structures to push the epiglottis backward. With continued inflammation and swelling of the epiglottis, complete blockage of the airway may occur, leading to suffocation and death. Autopsies of people with epiglottitis have shown distortion of the epiglottis and its associated structures including the formation of abscesses (pockets of infection). For unknown reasons, adults with epiglottic involvement are more likely than children to develop epiglottic abscesses.

Epiglottitis Causes

Conditions that cause epiglottitis include infectious, chemical, and traumatic agents. Infectious is the most common. H influenzae type b was once the most common cause prior to vaccination. Currently, other organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi are the causes, especially among adults.
  • Various organisms. For examples: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, varicella-zoster, herpes simplex virus type 1, and Staphylococcus aureus, among others.
  • Heat damage injured. Heat damage that results in epiglottitis is also known as thermal epiglottitis. Thermal epiglottitis occurs from drinking hot liquids, eating solid foods, or using illicit drugs such as inhalation of metal pieces from crack cocaine pipes or the tip of marijuana cigarettes. In these cases the epiglottitis from thermal injury is similar to the illness caused by infection.
  • Unusual causes of epiglottitis include brown recluse spider bites to the ear, which may result in swelling or eating buffalo fish, which may cause an allergiclike reaction and swelling. Blunt trauma or something blocking the throat may also lead to epiglottitis.
Epiglottitis Symptoms

When epiglottitis strikes, it usually occurs quickly but may range from just a few hours to a few days. The most common symptoms include sore throat, muffling or changes in the voice, difficulty speaking, fever, difficulty swallowing, fast heart rate, and difficulties in breathing.

Fever is usually high but may be low at 37.8°C (100.1°F) in adults or even slightly lower at 37.2°C (99°F) in cases of thermal epiglottitis.

  • Signs of respiratory distress, or trouble breathing, are seen with epiglottitis as drooling, leaning forward to breathe, taking rapid shallow breaths, "pulling in" of muscles in the neck or between the ribs with breathing (retractions), high-pitched whistling sound when breathing (stridor), and trouble speaking. Someone with acute epiglottitis usually looks very ill.
  • Children may sit in a "sniffing position" with the body leaning forward and the head and nose tilted forward and upward as though they are sniffing a good smelling pie.
  • People with epiglottitis may appear restless and breathing with their neck, chest wall, and upper belly muscles. While they may be taking in less air with each breath, they will still manifest the high-pitched whistling sound, called inspiratory stridor.
  • Typically, a child who comes to the hospital with epiglottitis has a history of fever, difficulty talking, irritability, and problems swallowing for several hours. The child often sits forward and drools. In infants younger than 1 year, signs and symptoms such as fever, drooling, and upright posturing may all be absent. In this small population group, the infant may have a cough and a history of an upper respiratory infection. Thus it is very difficult to know if an infant has epiglottitis.
  • In contrast, adolescents and adults have a more general appearance with sore throat as the main complaint along with fever (50-70%), difficulty breathing (25%), drooling (15%), and stridor (noise with breathing) (10%). Doctors have characterized adult epiglottitis into 3 categories:
  1. Category 1: Severe respiratory distress with imminent or actual respiratory arrest. People typically report a brief history with a rapid illness that quickly becomes dangerous. Blood cultures, which are tests that check for bacteria in the blood, are often positive for Hib.
  2. Category 2: Moderate-to-severe clinical symptoms and signs of considerable risk for potential airway blockage. Symptoms and signs usually are of sore throat, inability to swallow, difficulty in lying flat, muffled "hot potato" voice (speaking as if they have a mouthful of hot potato), stridor, and the use of accessory respiratory muscles with breathing.
  3. Category 3: Mild-to-moderate illness without signs of potential airway blockage. These people often have a history of illness that has been occurring for days with complaints of sore throat and pain upon swallowing.
Medical Treatment

Currently, immediate hospitalization is required whenever the diagnosis of epiglottitis is suspected. The person is in danger of sudden and unpredictable closing of the airway. So doctors must establish a secure way for the person to breathe. Antibiotics may be given.
  • Initial treatment of epiglottitis may consist of making the person as comfortable as possible including placing an ill child in a dimly lit room with the parent holding the child, humidified oxygen, and close monitoring. If there are no signs of respiratory distress, IV fluids may be helpful. It is important to prevent anxiety because it may lead to an acute airway obstruction especially in children.
  • People with possible signs of airway obstruction require laryngoscopy in the operating room with proper staff and airway intervention equipment. In very severe cases, the doctor may need to perform a cricothyrotomy (cutting the neck to insert a breathing tube directly into the windpipe).
  • IV antibiotics may effectively control inflammation and get rid of the infection from the body. Antibiotics are usually prescribed to treat the most common types of bacteria. Blood cultures are usually obtained with the premise that any organism found growing in the blood can be attributed as the cause of the epiglottitis. However, in many cases, if not the actual majority, blood cultures fail to yield this information.
  • Corticosteroids and epinephrine have been used in the past. However, there is no good proof that these medications are helpful in cases of epiglottitis.
Follow-up

Continue taking all antibiotics until the full course is completed. Keep all follow-up appointments with your doctor. In the event that a breathing tube had to be placed through the neck, follow-up with the surgeon to have the tube removed and make sure the site is healing well. Most people improve significantly before leaving the hospital, so taking the antibiotics and returning to the hospital if there are any problems are the most important parts of follow-up.

Prevention

Prevention of epiglottitis can be achieved with proper vaccination schedules against H influenza type b (Hib). Therefore it is important that your doctor make the appropriate recommendations for vaccination against Hib for children (see the children's immunization schedule). Adult vaccination is not routinely recommended, except for people with immune problems such as sickle cell anemia, splenectomy, cancers, or other diseases affecting the immune system.

When there is a member of a family with an unvaccinated child under age 4 years who is exposed to a person with H influenza epiglottitis, preventive medication (rifampin, Rifadin) should be given to all household contacts to make sure that both the person with the illness and the rest of the household have the bacteria completely eradicated from their bodies. This prevents formation of a "carrier state" in which a person has the bacteria in the body but is not actively sick. Carriers can still spread the infection to other family members in this state.

What is Prednisone?

Last week I’m attacked by vicious allergic disease. I’m visiting my doctor for a medication. There is no clear root cause of my allergic disease. The doctor gave me some allergic medicine. There was one allergic medicine that I never known before. This made me embittered. This name is PREDNISONE. I tried to ask this allergic medicine to UNCLE GOOGLE and here is the description I found.


Generic Name : PREDNISONE
Pronunciation : (pred' ni sone)
Trade Name(s) : Deltacortril, Hostacortin, Wysolone

Why it is prescribed: Prednisone, a corticosteroid, is similar to a natural hormone produced by our adrenal glands. It relieves inflammation (swelling, heat, redness, and pain) and is used to-treat certain forms of arthiritis and skin, blood, kidney, eye, thyroid, and intestinal disorders (e.g., colitis). Prednisone also is used with other drugs to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and to treat ceratain types of cancer, severe allergies, and asthma.

When it is to be taken:
  1. Follow the instructions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor to explain any part that you do not understand.
  2. If you are to take prednisone every other day, take it at breakfast on the first day and do not take it at all on the second day. Then take it at breakfast on the third day, do not take it at all on the fourth day, and so on.
  3. If you are to take prenisone once a day, take it in the morning with breakfast.
  4. If you are to take prednisone more than once a day, take it at evenly spaced intervals between the time you wake up in the morning and the time you go to the bed at night. For example, if your doctor tells you to take it three times a day, take it at 7 a.m., and 11 p.m.
How it should be taken: Prednisone comes in tablets, oral liquid, concentrate, and syrup to be taken orally. Your prescription label tells you how much to take at each dose. You may obtain a specially marked measuring spoon to be sure of an accurate dose of the solution and syrup. Use the specially marked dropper that comes with the concentrate to measure the dose.

Special Instruction :
  1. Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. If you take prednisone for a long time, you probably will have periodic blood test; X-rays; eye examinations; blood pressure, height, and weight measurements; and physical examinations.
  2. Checkups are particularly important for children because prednisone can slow bone growth.
  3. Prednisone must be taken regularly to be effective. However, do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer period than your doctor has directed.
  4. If your condition worsens, contact your doctor; your dose may need to be adjusted. Do not stop taking prednisone without consulting your doctor.
  5. Stopping the drug abruptly can cause loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, stupor, headache, fever, joint and muscle pain, peeling skin, and weight loss.
  6. If you take large doses for a long time, your doctor probably will want to decrease your dose gradually to allow your body to adjust before stopping the drug completely.
  7. Your doctor may instruct you to weigh yourself every day. Report any unusual weight gain. Tell every doctor, dentist, and surgeon who treats you that you take prednisone.
  8. Your doctor may instruct you to follow a low-sodium, low-salt, potassium-rich, or high-protein diet. Follow these directions.
  9. When you start to take prednisone, ask your doctor what to do if you forget a dose. Write down these instructions so that you can refer to them later.
  10. In general, if you take prednisone every other day and remember a missed dose on the morning of the day you should have taken it, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. If you remember as missed dose on that afternoon, start a new schedule. Take the missed dose on the next morning, do not take it at all on day two, and take the nextdose on the morning of day three.
  11. If you take prednisone once a day, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. If you do not remember a missed dose until it is time for your next dose, omit the missed dose completely and take only the regularly scheduled dose.
  12. If you take more than one dose a day, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it; then take any remaining doses for that day at evenly spaced intervals. If you remember a missed dose when it is time for you to take another, you may take both doses at one time.
Side Effects :
  1. Nausea, vomiting, stomach irritation. Take this medication with food or milk. If these effects persist or your stools become black and tarry, contact your doctor.
  2. Headache, dizziness, insomnia, restlessness, depression, anxiety, unusual moods, acne, thinned skin, increased sweating, increased hair growth, reddened face, easy bruising, tiny purple skin spots, irregular or absent menstrual periods. If these effects persist or are severe, contact your doctor.
  3. Skin irritation, itching, or swelling . Contact your doctor at once.
  4. Long-term therapy problems: weight gain; swollen feet, ankles, and lower legs; muscle pain and weakness; eye pain; vision problems; puffy skin; a cold or infection that lasts a long time. Contact your doctor.
Other Precautions :
  1. Before you take prednisone, tell your doctor what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially aspirin, arthritis medication, anticoagulants, diuretics, estrogen (e.g., birth-control pills), phenytoin, rifampin, and Phenobarbital.
  2. Do not have a vaccination, other immunization, or any skin test while you are taking prednisone unless your doctor specifically tells you that you may.
  3. Before you take prednisone, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, think that you may be pregnant, wish to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. Prednisone can harm an unborn or breast-fed baby.
  4. Before you take prednisone, tell your doctor your entire medical history, particularly if you have liver, kidney, intestinal, or heart disease an under active thyroid high blood pressure; myasthenia gravis; osteoporosis; herpes eye infection; or a history of tuberculosis, seizures, ulcers, or blood clots.
  5. If you have a history of ulcers or take large doses of aspirin or other arthritis medication, limit your consumption of alcoholic beverages while taking prednisone.
  6. Prednisone can make your stomach and intestines more susceptible to the irritating effects of alcohol, aspirin, and certain arthritis medications, increasing your risk of ulcers.
  7. Report any injuries or signs of infection that occur during treatment and within 12months after treatment with prednisone. Your dose may need to be adjusted or you may need to start taking the drug again.
  8. If you have diabetes, prednisone may increase your blood sugar level. Test your urine for glucose frequently and contact your doctor if sugar is present; your dose of diabetes medication and your diet may need to be changed. Do not allow anyone else to take this medication.
Storage Conditions :
  1. Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of the reach of children.
  2. Store it at room temperature.
For final summary I suggested to all of you, beware about the medicine gave by your doctor. Ask to him the description of the medicine to the pharmacist or your doctor before you consume it.

When Health Drinks are not Always Healthy




More than ever, the trend of healthy living is so popular right now. These are advertised in the basic products that people consume such as foods, drinks, and even in toiletries. But, among these, the piece that takes the cake is the healthy drinks, which can be bought almost everywhere.

But, with all the competitions and emergence of so many companies that produce the so-called "healthy drinks," not all drinks that are labeled as such are good for you. If you are one of those who are into healthy drinks, now is the time to be smart about these.

By now, you should know that not all that are advertised as "healthy drinks" are healthy. And by now, you should know how to determine which are the ones that can really help you achieve optimum health and the ones that don’t.

Labels to behold

The best way to ensure that you are taking in healthy stuff into your body is by taking time to choose the ones that you consume. This can be done by shopping your foods by yourself. Aside from having the time to choose what you want to eat, you can also check the labels of these foods—especially your favorite health drink—by yourself. When shopping for health drinks, make sure that you avoid those who have the following ingredients in them:

  • phosphoric acid. This acid is the clear, colorless liquid that is usually used in detergents, fertilizers, food flavoring and other pharmaceuticals products. This should be avoided because it can lead to the irritation of the skin as well as the eyes once ingested.
  • high fructose corn syrup. This is a concentrated sugar, which is the major cause of weight gain in many people especially to women. Aside from being among those that leads to obesity, high fructose corn syrup in some health drinks can also lead to abnormal blood sugar levels that may lead to chronic illnesses such diabetes.
  • artificial flavors and sweeteners. More commonly called as "excito-toxins," artificial flavorings are so common in most health drinks that are flavored-based. These artificial flavors are the same ones that you may find in sweet juices, colas and candy bars. Health drinks that have these in them should be avoided to avoid pH imbalances in the blood.
  • processed vitamins. Many people don’t realize it but not all vitamins can be healthy especially if these are liquefied, isolated, and heated. This is because these vitamins and minerals are proven to break down before the body can benefit from them.

Other things to look for include glycerol ester of wood rosin because these are acid forming, the modified food starch, and the yellow 6, yellow 5 and red 40 because these are all artificial coloring or dyes.

Looking for the healthy health drink

Although looking for a healthy drink can take some of your precious time, this will be worth it because you can ensure that you are taking in healthy elements that your body needs.

Vitamin C Turunkan Kadar Asam Urat

VITAMIN C ternyata tak hanya bagus untuk memperbaiki kondisi tubuh usai operasi atau saat lemah, melainkan juga baik bagi mereka yang menderita penyakit asam urat atau gout, satu bentuk rematik yang menyebabkan munculnya peradangan pada sendi-sendi.

"Asupan vitamin C menyediakan pilihan lain yang bermanfaat dalam mencegah penyakit asam urat," jelas Dr. Hyon Choi dan koleganya dari universitas British Columbia di Vancouver, Kanada.

Korban-korban penyakit gout memiliki ciri biasanya berusia 40-an atau lebih dan pria, meski kadang juga wanita. Vitamin C dikatakan para ahli ini dapat menurunkan kadar asam urat dalam darah.

Gout, merupakan penyakit yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan permanen pada sendi dan terkait dengan penyalahgunaan alkohol, kegemukan, tekanan darah tinggi dan diet tinggi daging serta keju.

Di Amerika Serikat, penyakit ini nyaris menyerang sekitar 3 juta warga. Sebuah observasi atas 47.000 pria Amerika dari tahun 1986 hingga 2006 dengan beragam masalah kesehatan menemukan bahwa setiap 500 mg vitamin C yang dikonsumsi menurunkan risiko terkena gout hingga 17 persen.

Sementara itu. sekitar 70 mg vitamin C dapat Anda peroleh dari sebuah jeruk. Konsentrasi lebih tinggi dapat diperoleh dari pil suplemen.

Risiko makin berkurang hingga 45 persen bagi mereka yang mengonsumsi Vitamin C 1.500 mg per hari dibanding mereka yang mengonsumsi 250 mg per hari, kata tim yang dikepalai Choi yang sekarang mengajar di Universitas Boston, Amerika Serikat.

High definition arthroscopy system; metode terapi terbaru gangguan lutut


Gangguan lutut, ternyata tidak hanya dialami oleh usia lanjut akibat osteoarthritis (pengapuran pada lutut), namun juga bisa dialami oleh siapa saja baik olahragawan maupun orang muda yang dinamis dan senang berolahraga. Kurangnya pemanasan saat berolahraga dan trauma merupakan penyebab tersering munculnya berbagai gangguan lutut yang biasanya ditandai dengan rasa nyeri di lutut, berbunyi saat lutut digerakkan atau lutut menjadi kaku.

Gangguan lutut seringkali diremehkan, padahal gangguan lutut apabila tidak ditangani secara dini dan tepat akan berakibat fatal dan menurunkan kualitas hidup penderitanya. Untungnya kini telah hadir sebuah pelayanan kesehatan untuk lutut dengan pelayanan kesehatan berkualitas secara lengkap, mulai dari konsultasi hingga fasilitas untuk terapi penanggulangan gangguan yaitu Jakarta Knee and Shoulder Orthopaedic Sport Center.

Jakarta Knee and Shoulder Orthopaedic Sport Center merupakan sebuah fasilitas pelayanan terintregrasi yang tersedia di Rumah Sakit Pondok Indah (RSPI) dengan menerapkan metode serta teknologi terkini untuk diagnostic dan terapi penanggulangan gangguan. Pelayanan tersebut hadir dengan memberikan alternative solusi masyarakat yang mengalami ketidaknyamanan tidak hanya pada lutut namun juga bahu.

dr. Andre PontohRS Pondok Indah yang telah berhasil meraih sertifikat Akreditasi Rumah Sakit 16 Bidang Pelayanan serta sertifikat ISO 9001:2000 Sistem Manajemen Mutu ini, terus memberikan edukasi masyarakat dalam khususnya mengenai perkembangan ilmu kesehatan, diantaranya dengan mengadakan acara temu media di Auditorium RS Pondok Indah dengan tema Gangguan Lutut dan Terapi Penanggulangan Terkini dengan pembicara adalah dr. Andre Pontoh.

Dr. Andre Pontoh adalah seorang ahli bedah orthopaedi RS Pondok Indah dengan area spesialisasi lutut serta Sport Medicine, yang secara rinci menjelaskan seluk beluk mengenai lutut dan gangguan yang sering terjadi pada bagian tubuh ini, sekaligus terapi yang dilakukan dalam upaya penanggulangan gangguan lutut dengan menerapkan terapi/teknik dengan metode dan teknologi terkini, di antaranya adalah High Definition Arthroscopy System generasi terbaru.

Arthroscopy adalah suatu teknik operasi sendi dengan cara bedah invasif minimal (sayatan kecil). Dengan penggunaan High Definition System menghasilkan tampilan gambar dengan resolusi tertinggi. Sebelumnya, peralatan yang digunakan untuk operasi jenis ini hanya menggunakan single chip dan three chips, dimana resolusi serta kualitas gambar yang ditampakkan lebih dibandingkan ketajaman gambar yang dihasilkan dengan menggunakan High Definition Arthoscopy System, dan hal ini memberikan hasil diagnostik yang lebih baik.

Terapi penanggulanan gangguan lutut dengan teknik Bedah invasif minimal (Arthroscopy) mempunyai beberapa keuntungan yakni pasien mengalami rasa nyeri yang minimal paska operasi dan periode pemulihan dalam waktu yang relatif jauh lebih cepat dibandingkan operasi dengan teknik konservatif. Sedangkan keuntungan dari High Definition Arthroscopy System adalah selain bisa hasil diagnostik yang lebih baik, dokter juga dapat langsung melakukan terapi dalam waktu yang bersamaan, sehingga diharapkan hasilnya dapat lebih baik.

Dalam proses pemeriksaan gangguan lutut & bahu, RS Pondok Indah juga dilengkapi dengan MRI 1.5 Tesla yang memberikan hasil gambar anatomi tubuh bagian dalam yang lebih detil dan tajam, sehingga tidak akan ada kelainan yang terlewat dari hasil pantauan alat ini.

Perangkat pendukung canggih lainnya yang terdapat di RSPI adalah Computer Aided Surgery (CAS) untuk operasi penggantian sendi lutut yang menggunakan komputer. Dengan keahlian dokter bedah orthopaedik RSPI, operasi lutut dapat dilakukan dengan tingkat akurasi yang tinggi dan mampu menghasilkan fungsi lutut yang lebih baik.

Dr. Andre Pontoh, merupakan satu-satunya dokter ahli bedah orthopaedi di Indonesia yang melakukan Double Bundle ACL Reconstruction, sebuah teknik operasi penggantian urat lutut yang putus yang pertama kali ditemukan di Jepang. Tidak hanya itu, fasilitas sub spesialistik ini menangani gangguan lutut dan bahu mulai dari kasus yang ringan sampai berat, misalnya kasus osteoarthritis (pengapuran pada lutut), cedera meniscus, tulang rawan pecah, dan lain sebagainya.(source:

Tongkat Ali Meningkatkan Stamina Seksual

Daun Tongkat Ali Eurycoma L Jack (Tongkat Ali) telah terbukti sebagai stimulan yang kuat terhadap Testosteron. Tumbuhan ini khususnya dikenal di Asia karena kemampuannya meningkatkan kadar Testosterone pria hingga 440%. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pengaruhnya terhadap keseimbangan hormon sehingga memicu produksi testosteron dalam tubuh secara alami.


Ekstrak Tongkat Ali mengandung komponen utama berupa zat fenol, tanin, polisakarida dengan berat molekul yang besar, glokoprotein, dan mukopolisakarida. Diyakini bahwa bahan-bahan larut air ini secara alami berkhasiat untuk meningkatkan kesanggupan untuk merangsang produksi testosteron dan untuk menjaga kesehatan.

Ekstrak serbuk Tongkat Ali adalah suatu perangsang seksual alami yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan stamina seksual, menstimulasi dan menyuburkan. Sehingga wajar di Malaysia, Thailand, dan Indonesia Tongkat Ali dikenal sebagai obat kuat atau obat perangsang seksual.

Testosteron merupakan salah satu hormon utama dari sejumlah hormon seks pria atau androgen yang dihasilkan oleh kelenjar-kelenjar gonad. Produksi dari hormon ini memicu pembelahan sel dari saluran reproduksi pria semasih embrio, penurunan testes masuk ke dalam kantung skrotum dan perkembangan lanjutan pada saluran reproduksi dan penis selama masa pubertas dan pematangan sperma.Testosteron juga berperan dalam memperkembangkan dan mempertahankan libido (hasrat seksual) dan perilaku pria.

Testosteron juga memiliki peran non seksual lain dimana Ia memenuhi fungsi penting dalam biosintesa protein untuk mempercepat pembentukan otot, meningkatkan pembentukan sel darah merah. Mempercepat masa regenerasi dan pemulihan sehabis sakit atau setelah terluka. Testosterone juga memicu seluruh aktivitas metabolis khususnya pada jalur metabolisme dan pembakaran lemak.

Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa selama pubertas, kondisi puncak dari produksi Testosteron sepanjang hidup seseorang adalah pada umur 25 tahun dan menurun secara stabil seiring umur bertambah. Beberapa studi klinis menunjukkan bahwa secara umum, produksi Testosteron menurun sebanyak 2% per tahun terhitung sejak umur 30 tahun. Pada usia 60 tahun, Testosterone yang diproduksi hanyalah sebanyak 45-50%. Penurunan yang lebih ekstrim terjadi pada perokok berat dan alkoholik.

Resiko penurunan Testosteron

  • Osteoporosis and keretakan tulang pinggul
  • Penyakit jantung dan serangan jantung
  • Stroke dan penyakit dan kelainan pembuluh darah jantung
  • Kanker prostat
  • Senile dementia (penurunan daya pikir karena penuaan)

Manfaat dari Testosteron

  • Memperbaiki kemampuan seksual pria
  • Tulang menjadi lebih kuat
  • Meningkatkan kepadatan otot
  • Mengurangi lemak tubuh
  • Meningkatkan laju pembakaran energi dan fosforilasi oksidatif
  • Mengurangi stress
  • Meningkatkan fungsi otak termasuk daya ingat

Cara Kerja Tongkat Ali

Tongkat Ali secara alami merangsang testes untuk menghasilkan testosteron dengan cara merangsang hipotalamus dan kelenjar penghasil hormon dan BUKANNYA menambahkan testosteron dari luar. Testosteron buatan (hormon steroid anabolik) memang bisa memasok testosteron untuk tubuh, namun dapat mengganggu seksualitas pria, seperti pengecilan penis dan testes. Jika kadar testosteron ditingkatkan, hormon-hormon seks seperti androgen dan esterogen akan memerintahkan tubuh untuk menghentikan produksinya, dan ini disebut umpan balik negatif. Tongkat Ali mencegat umpan balik negatif ke hipotalamus dan ke kelenjar penghasil hormon tersebut, yang menyebabkan tubuh terus memproduksi testosteron ke tingkat yang tinggi. Karena testes penuh dengan testosteron, penis dan buah pelir akan membesar.

Tongkat Ali beraksi meningkatkan produksi testosteron. Peningkatan sintesis hormon akan membutuhkan waktu hingga efeknya terlihat. Manfaatnya akan semakin terasa seiring waktu penggunaan. Efek terbaik akan terasa dalam 1 minggu jika digunakan tanpa terputus atau terus menerus. Ketika kadar testosteron meningkat dalam tubuh, kesehatan dan vitalitas juga akan akan pulih. Tongkat Ali tidak bekerja seperti afrodisiak lain yang berkhasiat instant. Tongkat Ali harus dikonsumsi secara teratur selama jangka waktu tertentu. Cara kerjanya berbeda dari yang lain. Efek terbaik akan dirasakan setelah satu minggu jika digunakan secara teratur tanpa terputus.

Ekstrak Tongkat Ali dan Seks:

  • Afrodisiak (Perangsang).
  • Meningkatkan Libido – menjadi lebih sering.
  • Kesuburan – memperbanyak jumlah sperma (kualitas dan kuantitas).
  • Meningkatkan kemungkinan mendapatkan anak laki-laki dari 2:2 menjadi 3:1.

Ekstrak Tongkat Ali dan Olahraga:

  • Penambah tenaga alami – peningkat kadar testosteron –
  • Fungsi metabolik testosteron.
  • Pembentukan sel sperma, pertumbuhan sifat seks sekunder. Fungsi metabolik lainnya, pembentukan otot.
  • Meningkatkan massa otot terutama serat otot gerak.
  • Meningkatkan kekuatan.
  • Prima, badan terasa segar, bergerak lebih cepat, kuat dan luar biasa!

Ekstrak larut air dari Tongkat Ali ini bukanlah stimulan. Efek afrodisiak dari Tongkat Ali bervariasi tergantung dari gaya hidup dan kondisi fisik dan psikologi masing-masing orang.

Cow Urine Treatment

Cow is a mobile dispensary. It is the treasure of medicines. The cow urine therapy is capable of curing several curable and incurable diseases. The holy texts, like Atharva Veda, Charak Samhita, Rajni Ghuntu, Vridhabhagabhatt, Amritasagar, Bhavprakash, Sushrut Samhita contain beautiful description about these things. Cow Urine Treatment and Research Center, Indore has conducted a lot of research in the past few years and reached at the conclusion that it is capable of curing diabetes, blood pressure, asthma, psoriasis, eczema, heart attack, blockage in arteries, fits, cancer, AIDS, piles, prostrate, arthritis, migraine, thyroid, ulcer, acidity, constipation, gynecological problems, ear and nose problems, abortion and several other diseases.

The analysis of cow urine has shown that it contains nitrogen, sulphur, phosphate, sodium, manganese, carbolic acid, iron, silicon, chlorine, magnesium, melci, citric, titric, succenic, calcium salts, Vitamin A, B, C, D, E, minerals, lactose, enzymes, creatinine, hormones and gold acids. A person falls ill when there is deficiency or excess of the substances inside the body. The cow urine contains those substances, which are present in the human body. Therefore consumption of cow urine maintains the balance of these substances and cures incurable diseases.

The Indian culture gives special place to cow. All the 33 gods have cow as their prime temple. Deva means to give, the strength to give, the ability to give more and take the minimum. This is known as Devata. The cow takes very less from us and gives us more. Therefore the Indian people have proved this with the help of strict devotion and dedication that cow has a prominent place in the Indian life and economy. Wealth, religion, sex and salvation are accomplished with the service of the cow. The Indian farmer used to known as king or the giver of grains due to the developed tradition of India thousands of years back. When we were popular as golden bird and world Guru then this was the basic mantra. Our entire life is dependent on cow.

The whole world calls cow as mother. The reason is that the birth-giving mother gives milk to its child only for one or two years, but the mother cow gives milk throughout its life, which is like nectar. A black cow is tied in the Shiva temple, when we see the Shiva along with the black cow then we are able to overcome the malefic effects of planets in our natal horoscope. When we see the ankles of the cow we protect ourselves from sudden deaths. Taking rounds of the cow is equivalent to visiting all the holy places. As the paipal tree and holy basil plant give oxygen similarly cow is the only animal, which emits major amount of oxygen. If one spoon of pure ghee is poured on the burning cow cakes dung (fuel) then they can produce one-ton oxygen, therefore ghee made with cow milk is used in sacrificial fires and havans. There is no other better method to remove pollution.

The cow milk, butter, ghee and buttermilk are like nectar. The cow dung is not faeces but purifier of faeces. It produces best quality of grains, fruits, and vegetables by becoming the best type of manure. Cow urine is a divine medicines and is a pesticide for the crops. Pure ghee made with cow milk on the cow cakes, the smoke emitted thereby subsides the effect of poisonous gas. Cow urine contains copper, which converts into gold inside the human body. It removes the toxicity. Drinking cow milk gives strength and increases the pure qualities in the human mind.

The horns and hunch of cow are like two powerful pyramids. We receive the strengths of stars and Sun through the medium of cow dung, milk, curd, ghee etc. the place where the cow is tied does not produce any vastu related ill effects. If there is any malefic effect of any planet, serving the cow with chapatti, jaggery calms down the malefic effect.

A person was suffering with cancer and had been told that they would not survive for long; cow therapy was done on such cases. Out of the many patients, who were suffering with cancer for the last 4 years are now leading a healthy life. In the same way the diabetes patient who was taking insulin and having a sugar level of 488 or 420 did not have the necessity to take insulin after the treatment. In the same way AIDS, asthma, psoriasis, eczema, blood pressure, heart disease, prostrate, piles also cured with this treatment. Premchand Rathore was suffering from asthma and isnophilia. He had palpitations and cough along with phlegm. He is now enjoying a healthy life after taking cow urine therapy. The cough and phlegm reduced. Mrs. Sharda Jalani was having varicose veins and dismonerrhoea. She used to have swollen nerves, pain, and swelling as soon as she used to stand up and it was very painful at the time of menses. She was advised operation for both the problems. But she went for cow urine therapy and is now healthy. Omprakash Paul suffered an heart attack, he had high levels of cholesterol and chest pain. After taking cow urine therapy he is able to walk up to four kilometers, he does not get chest pain and cholesterol level is also normal. Chandmal Gurjar suffered with cancer of the food pipe four years back, he could not take liquids also. Now he is able to eat and drink properly, he is healthy and working in the fields. There are thousands of people who have recovered from serious diseases after taking this therapy.

Today many AIDS patients are taking cow urine therapy. People who were suffering with migraine and headache for the past 15 years have recovered within six months of taking this therapy. Whether it is the question of relieving tension or improving the memory power. In the past few years the Cow Urine Treatment and Research Center, Indore has treated one and half lakhs of people. Out of the total patients 85 to 90 percent were patients of constipation there is an old saying that if the stomach is clean half of the diseases get cured automatically. The patient taking cow urine therapy says that he is enjoying sound heath and passing bowels easily within one month of this therapy.

Sushma Khurana has thyroid complaint. Before taking this therapy her T3 level was 4, T4 was 15, TSH was 0.2. After six months of this treatment T4 was 9.97, TSH was 1.35 and today she is free of this problem. This therapy is also beneficial in the case of eczema, ringworm, itching and other skin problems.
