The Cheap and Effective Cancer Treatment Oncologists Don’t Want You To Know About

Given that cancer is one of the most common and terrifying diagnoses across the world today, it should come as no surprise that it is one of the biggest focuses in medical research. However, what would you say if you found out that the most effective cancer treatments were being hidden from you?

Quite a few alternative health experts believe that is the case, as less expensive and less invasive treatments are ignored and overlooked in favor of treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.  Baking soda, which costs just a couple dollars per box, has actually been found to be very effective in the treatment of cancer.

Learn more about this treatment and how you can use it.

Why Use Baking Soda?

People started looking into baking soda as a treatment because of the side effects that come with conventional cancer treatments. Both chemotherapy and radiation can cause significant damage to other cells in your body, destroying your immune system and putting you at risk for death.

On the other hand, baking soda doesn’t have any side effects. You ingest it orally every day and enjoy the benefits. Baking soda works because it is a basic solution. Many alternative cancer therapies are focused on keeping the pH level of the body from becoming too acidic, since cancer cells thrive in acidic environments.

Why This Method Has Been Ignored

To put it simply, doctors and researchers have ignored the baking soda treatment because anyone can do it and anyone can afford it. Chemotherapy and radiation are extremely expensive, and insurance companies pay out millions of dollars every year to doctors and facilities for these procedures.

Cancer is a fairly big moneymaker in the medical industry, and if people can treat it themselves, there goes a huge source of revenue for many medical professionals.

The Baking Soda Protocol

Knowing how to use baking soda properly is the key to making this technique work for you. Oral consumption is the most important procedure to use, but there are also things you can do to make baking soda work more effectively. Follow these steps:

1. Pour 2 cups of room temperature water into a glass. Ideally, this water should have a high magnesium content, as this improves the function of baking soda.
2. Stir in 2 rounded teaspoons of baking soda. Stir until it is dissolved.
3. Add a pinch of sweetener of your choice.
4. Sip this mixture over the course of one to two hours.
5. Repeat 3 times per day for best results.

In addition, you may want to use baking soda transdermally. This allows the body to absorb it through your skin. Simply run a warm or hot bath and sprinkle 1 cup of baking soda into your bath. Give yourself plenty of time to soak in the bath. Repeat as desired.You have the tools you need to make the most of your health and prevent deadly diseases.

Whether you are trying to fight an existing case of cancer or you simply want to keep this disease from taking root in your body, baking soda is here to help.

Your Poop Can Save Someone’s Life – Yes, It’s Real!!

Everyone perceives their stool as disgusting…and yes, it is, in all honesty. They contain numerous bacteria that are mostly alive. However, would you believe if a person told you that your poop can save life?

That’s ridiculous, you say? Your poop comes in handy during a treatment procedure fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) which is performed on patients suffering from repeated clostridium difficile infection.

Fecal transplant is performed on patients suffering from clostridium difficile infection

What you need to know about clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is that it is infectious diarrhoea. Along with abdominal pain, it causes bloating and diarrhoea, which further can become sever, if left untreated. Though treatment is possible through antibiotics, relapses in such cases have been minimal.

One might wonder what could be the alternate procedure if antibiotics cannot treat CDI.

That is where fecal microbiota transplantation plays its part. The procedure requires a fecal microbiota preparation where stool from a healthy patient is transplanted into the patient’s colon.The patient need not worry about fecal bacteria since it is mixed with saline, then strained and reintroduced into the patient’s colon through enema.

Actually, the size of the poop comes into play, too, as it decides the number of people that can be treated. Below is an illustration of the same –

The size of poop decides how many people can be saved

Fecal transplantation might seem gross to people today, but it was documented in the 4th century China, where it was labelled “yellow soup”.

Now, if the procedure convinces you and probably encourages you to make donation, it is important to know that the process is not that simple. Just like blood donation, fecal donation has its set of criteria. If you are one of the lucky donors, you can make up to $13,000 per year.

Scientists and doctors are looking for diseases that fecal microbiota transplantation can apparently treat. However, till date, just one – C. difficile – is the only disease that has been fully explored.

Unique Code to Define Patient's Medical History in Pipeline

                         

                       

Days are not far away when a unique code will define a patient's medical history and medical institutions in the country and elsewhere can have access to it.

The Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has included Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine- Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) as the standard for clinical vocabulary for use in medical records.

SNOMED CT is a popular coding standard in the Health IT industry. It is a comprehensive clinical terminology, originally created by the College of American Pathologists and, as of April, 2007, owned, maintained, and distributed by the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO).

At the moment, 28 countries are members of the IHTSDO.

This comprehensive, multilingual clinical healthcare terminology, used across the globe enables standardisation of clinical vocabulary for use in Electronic Medical Records/ Electronic Health Records (EHR) by hospitals and healthcare providers, besides aiding in generation of unique EHR for each individual.

Incorporation of such a comprehensive terminology in the EHR requires understanding of the underlying concept model, various levels at which clinical information can be effectively represented, and cross-mapping to other international vocabulary standards.

The Union Health Ministry has designated the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune, to run the National Release Centre, for distribution and management of SNOMED CT within India.

6 Reasons to Drink Coffee Before Your Next Workout

Here are a few reasons it might be a good idea to scarf down a latte or a frothy cappuccino (or both!) before heading out on your next workout:

1. Caffeine can help you work out longer and harder: According to researchers in one British study, young men who drank a sugar-free beverage with caffeine an hour before working out were able to work out for a longer period of time and do more reps without getting exhausted than they did when they drank the same beverage without the caffeine.

2. Caffeine can improve your accuracy: Another recent study found that soccer players were able to dribble, head, and kick the ball with greater precision and agility after drinking caffeine. Caffeine not only made them more alert, it also improved their fine motor skills.

3. Caffeine can help you go faster: Sprinters, marathon runners, cyclists, rowers, swimmers, and tennis players can all get a speed boost from caffeine. And because it’s perfectly legal for competitive athletes to use, caffeine is, according to The New York Times, “the most popular drug in sports” today.

4. Caffeine can help you feel less tired: The subjects in that British study reported feeling less tired after workouts before which they had drunk caffeine, even if they had worked out for longer.

5. Caffeine can make you feel better about your workout: Those same British study subjects were also more excited about working out again after workouts before which they had consumed caffeine.

6. Caffeine can be delicious: Latte, cappuccino, espresso … mmmm!

Under Fire, Haryana Chief Minister Visits Family of Dalit Children Burnt Alive

Under attack from the opposition, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today met the family of the two Dalit children who were burnt alive at a village near Delhi on Monday and assured them that the guilty would be punished at the earliest. But soon after he left, angry locals held a protest march and raised slogans against him.

Mr Khattar was expected to meet the family yesterday, but his visit was cancelled after protests by angry locals. When asked why he was visiting the village three days after the deaths, he said his ministers were keeping a watch on the situation. "My eyes are on this case every minute. My ministers have been here from day one on my behalf."

When Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi visited Sonped village in Faridabad district yesterday, he attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his party the BJP which rules the state and chief minister Mr Khattar and blamed their "attitude" for such tragedies.
 

Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi met the family of the two Dalit Children in Sonped yesterday.

"This is an attitude shared by the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister, the BJP and the RSS - if somebody is weak, they can be crushed. This government is not for the poor," he had said.

The children-- two-and-a-half year old Vaibhav and 11-month-old Divya - died after their house was set on fire, allegedly by members of an upper caste community.

Their mother Rekha has suffered 70 per cent burns, their father also sustained injuries.

Vaibhav and Divya were sleeping in their house when it was set on fire, allegedly by members of an upper caste community.

Seven accused have been arrested for the death of the children. Four more are yet to be traced. Mr Khattar's government yesterday ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation or CBI probe into the deaths.

The family of the children has alleged that the attack was the fallout of a long-standing feud with a group of upper caste people in the village. But the kin of the accused have denied the allegation.

Angry locals blocked a highway near the national capital yesterday and said they would not cremate the children till all those accused in the case were arrested. They also held a march carrying the bodies of the children.

Later in the day, the protest was called off after the police managed to convince the family to cremate the children. Their last rites were performed late in the evening.

Dealing with Toddler Meltdowns

How many times have you witnessed a toddler screaming, kicking, rolling on the floor or crying hard in public? It’s a common sight with toddlers. These are called toddler meltdowns. Most often it is accompanied with the parents yelling back at their kids. It’s a disturbing sight, no doubt about that. But understand that meltdowns need not always culminate in parents’ yelling and toddler’s crying. 

How to deal with your toddler’s meltdowns and his temper tantrums? It will become easy for you to handle your toddler’s meltdown, if you just wait for the toddler to vent completely and cool down, before you pitch in to solve the issue at hand. This will make him more receptive to you. Read to understand why your toddler has a meltdown and some tips to comfort your child.

Tips on How to Deal with Toddler Meltdowns

• Remain calm:

   Remember you will do yourself and your child a world of good by just staying calm. If you react, it will only escalate the meltdown. If you are at home, just walk away from the room to compose yourself.

• 
  Identify the cause:

   Meltdowns often occur because the little kids are trying to express their needs or frustration. As they are not able to express them in words, they throw tantrums. Find out if the real cause behind a meltdown is hunger, exhaustion, stress or need for your attention. It may help you in soothing your child better and faster.

• Wait it Out:

   Wait for the meltdown to run its course before you start acting on it. If you are at home, better let the child cry it out. Once he is spent, he will be calm and more responsive to you. But in the case where you are out, take a call. If you feel embarrassed, remove your child and yourself from the situation.

• Avoid punishment:

   Don’t threaten your child with a ‘time out’ or punishment. That will only make matters worse. Your child needs you to understand him and his needs.

• Reach to him:

   If the child lets you take him in your arms, try to do so. Physical contact helps in resolving matters faster. Hold him in your arms and pat his back softly till all his anger is spent. However, if your child is kicking or hitting, avoid touching him. You can try talking in soothing tone instead.

• Give options:

   Most kids are confused about the real reason bothering them. So give your child options: Are you hungry, do you want to sleep, shall I hold you in my arms, etc. He will surely nod on the one he really wants.

Hope you found our tips on dealing with toddler meltdowns useful. But wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could curb the meltdowns before they begin. Yes, it’s possible. 

Tips on How to Prevent Toddler Meltdowns

• Understand your child’s needs:

   If you know that your child gets cranky or throws a tantrum when he is hungry, sleepy or over-stimulated, try to prevent the situation from arising. Take care of your child’s needs before he needs to show you through a meltdown.

• Listen to your child:

   Parents have a habit of down-talking to their child or not taking them seriously enough. When kids realize this, they sometimes throw tantrums. Listen to him attentively and make eye contact with him when he speaks.

• Avoid negative words:

   Frequent use of words like ‘no’, ‘don’t’ or ‘stop’ can restrict your child. Sometimes ‘no’ is necessary but assess the situation before you say it. Try to use it positively like, instead of saying an outright ‘no’ to your child’s demand for watching more TV, try saying ‘how about playing a game of peek-a-boo?’


• Give your child time:

   Asking your child to immediately stop what he is doing and to do what you want him to do, can impact your child negatively. Kids need time to transition from one thing to another. Give your child time so that he can mentally prepare himself to switch from one activity to another.

• Stick to the schedule:

   Kids are creatures of habit. If for any reason, their schedule of daily activities is disrupted, they can get upset which might result in a meltdown. Take care that your child’s schedule is well maintained. If you need to depart from the regular schedule, give him a rundown of what he could expect so that he is prepared for it.

• 
  Set the limits:

   Don’t indulge in regular shouting, yelling or doling out punishments to your child. It will make him more obstinate and less respectful towards you. Instead, talk to him in a stern voice or give him the eye. This will give him ample opportunity to realize that you are angry at him and chances are that he will stop being willful.

The earlier you curb your child’s temper tantrums, the earlier he’ll learn that throwing tantrums is not a good way of expressing himself. Sometimes the reason behind a meltdown can be genuine and out of control of you and your child. Understand this and allow him to let it all out.

I really didn’t actually bother on researching each of them, but most of the friends tell me only good things.

However, the moment I used a small drop of the across May Lindstrom Skin The Good Stuff, I just couldn’t stop smelling my skin.

The product is safe to be used on the breasts, and I even use one or two drops for my hair, as well. It’s more like a full lotion with a texture that has a bit of shimmer.
