1). Ovarian Cysts
What are ovarian cysts? A cyst is a little balloon filled with air or fluid on one of the ovaries, which then exerts pressure on the right or left side of the lower abdomen. These cysts can be painful. Besides the pain in the lower abdomen, some other symptoms are: erratic, painful periods, often with much uterine bleeding as a result of elevated estrogen levels, painful intercourse, heel pain, and excessive hair growth.

2). Candida Fungus/ Yeast Infection And Cancer.
There is a connection between candida and cancer – so asserts Doug Kaufmann, author and expert on nutrition who has studied yeast infections and candida for over 30 years. Kaufman’s studies demonstrate that fungi in foods, as well as the overuse of antibiotics, lead to intestinal overgrowth that can compromise our health in many ways, including cancer.

4). How To Prevent Flu/ Low Immune System And Natural Remedies.
Years ago when worked in a small clinic the MD’s stated; January, February March…..the busiest time of the year. After the holidays with too much candy, people seem to get sick. It is every year the same.

Many years later: Yes I verified the fact that more people are sick, a lot of flu and complications. Doctor’s offices, emergency department and hospitals these months are the busiest months of the year.

5). Hypothyroidism (Low Thyroid).
Hypothyroidism (low thyroid)is a hormone imbalance caused when the thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormone.

What are the Symptoms of Hypothyroid? The most common are fatigue and intolerance to cold. If everybody is wearing short sleeves and you are wearing a jacket, you most likely have a hypothyroid issue. Other common symptoms are mental instability or depression, muscle weakness and fatigue, poor memory, lethargy and headaches.

6). Oil Of Oregano And Infections.
I'd like to share with you a healing substance that can improve your life and the life of your friends in an extraordinary way. It's a versatile herbal medicine that truly merits the name "a medicine chest in a bottle". Whether you are traveling, at home or at your job, when you need first aid, pain relief, or natural anitibiotic action, this one product can truly "do it all".

7). Bad Breath (Halitosis).
Bad breath(Halitosis)is widespread and quite common. You have probably discretely stepped away from friends or colleagues with bad breath. But it can also be a shock to realize that others, for the same reason, may be edging (discretely) away from you!

How can you know if your breath is offensive?

Try this simple bad breath(Halitosis)test:
Lick the inside of your wrist and wait 4 seconds.

8). Low Testosterone And Headaches/ Migraines?
As a registered nurse I attend many classes, and recently had a small revelation about the relationship between age and the incidence of migraines headaches. Our teacher said that migraines headaches hardly ever appear after the age of 55, and that migraines headaches are related to hormones and hormone change. I found this remarkable, since in my many years in the ER I had in fact seen lots of younger men and women with migraines headacnes, but never older men or women.

9). Enjoy Summer And Vacation Good Health
Summer can be a real health challenge. Our ambitious travel plans leave us vulnerable to new influences from the new environments we so eagerly embrace. Here are some practical tips on how to stay balanced, energetic and well.

Dehydration

You needn’t cross the desert to suffer from dehydration. Many of us suffer chronic dehydration simply because we don’t drink as much water as we should.

10). Anti Aging Skin Care – Tips And Common Sense.
As we get on in years, who isn’t trying to stay young, to hold the line on aging? And where do we see our age and fret our age more, than in our skin? I’d like to share with you some general anti aging skin care treatment that will keep your skin young and healthy, and recommend some natural anti aging skin products that make a big difference as well.

11). Bipolar Imbalances And Hormones.
Working as a nurse in the emmergency room you meet a beautiful variety of people. Among those for whom I feel a special sympathy are those with bipolar. They can of course be quite the characters: some hear voices, some live on the streets, some have an extraordinary sense of humor, some love to sing and entertain… and much more. One thing bipolar patients have in common is that they take heavy medications, particularly antidepressants that have many side effects.

12). Children And Halitosis, Bad Breath

13). Kidney Stones – Pain And Prevention.
Working as an emergency room RN, I have seen many people suffering from kidney stones. About 80% are men, why we don’t know. They have lower abdominal pain or flank pain on one side. The pain they feel is intense.

We first ask them for a urine sample. Using a dip stick the nurse typically finds blood in the urine, often with hardly any infection (though there may well be infection, and often the presence of ketones, a sign of dehydration).

14). Prostate Health – Learn The Basics.
It can be frustrating and confusing to find out what really works for a man’s prostate health. In this article I’ve summarized some of the major guidelines and recommendations you should know. And if you’ve found something that has really worked for you, which you have verified through trial and observation, please let me know. I’d like to be able to share it with others.

15). Arthritis, Pain Relief And Soft Drinks
Because arthritis is so widespread now, it gets a lot of attention from all of us - from the average person to the health professional. Some experts believe that arthritis was first introduced by a strain of virus some two centuries ago. But then, other experts have found conclusive evidence of arthritis in ancient Egyptian mummies. But whether it's two centuries or four millennia, arthritis does seem to be age-related.

16). Niacin For Heart Health And Cholesterol
My friend Joe is one of those clever people. He works hard, has a lot of hobbies, a beautiful family, is resourceful and has a positive attitude. Joe had high cholesterol but brought his cholesterol down from 240 to 180.

His secret? Here is his "recipe" for bringing his cholesterol down:

· Add 375 mg.

17). Yeast Infections In General And For Baby’s ( Thrush) And Mothers.
The traditional cure for yeast/ candida with Nystatin is often not successful. Antibiotics makes thrush and yeast infections worse. Still we want to cure our yeast infections and thrush with a remedy, which has no side effect and is successful in battling yeast/ candida infections (thrush).
Thrush is showing up in baby mouths as small white spots and are difficult to remove.

18). Testosterone And Manhood.
When I was asked to write about testosterone and manhood, I started to think of the different ages and the influence of testosterone. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for the development of manhood after the child reaches puberty. This influx of hormones has a great psychological influence, essentially turning boys in men. Muscle mass and strength increases, the sex drive develops, the voice deepens, and the man is endowed with the capacity to reproduce.

19). Solutions for Stained Teeth
The most common tooth problem for many is discoloration. The enamel on teeth, which provides protection against damage from chewing or acids (i.e. sugar), is naturally white. But over the years, as enamel wears down, the core material of teeth "called dentin" begins to show.

20). Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice
Many people have suffered at the hands of another persons negligence. Negligence can be defined as someone failing to do what a reasonable person would do in the same circumstances. If one suffers such an injury, they may be entitled to monetary damages.
