Tooth Ache Relief

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006 by Sherri Granato

You’re suffering miserably from a tooth ache and the dentist’s office is closed. What can you do to relieve the pain temporarily? Ibuprofen works miracles and is great for inflammatory problems such as tooth and gum pain. Take 800 milligrams of Ibuprofen every 4 hours or as needed. This is only a temporary fix and you need to see a dentist if the problem persists. A second option is clove oil which is available at all health food stores. Dip the tip of a cotton swab with the oil and dab onto the aching tooth. You should begin feeling some relief almost immediately. Be careful though as clove oil is extremely effective because it is an antibacterial, an antiseptic and an analgesic. It is also extremely powerful so avoid getting too much extra on your gums as this may irritate them. These are only quick fixes and should never be thought of as a cure. A more dangerous underlying illness could be hidden and masking the pain is never a good idea.  If you are in London you can visit these London dentists.

Always see a doctor for pain that lasts for more than one day.

Immune System

Saturday, March 18th, 2006 by Bill Tusan

Every minute of every day wars rage within our bodies. The combatants are too tiny to see. Some, like the infamous virus that causes AIDS, are so small that 230 million would fit on the period at the end of this sentence.

Of all the body’s enemies, the virus is both the simplest and the most devious of all. A virus contains instructions for making copies of itself. When a virus enters one of our cells it issues its own instructions. The cell becomes a virus factory, producing identical viruses. Eventually they may rupture the cell, killing it. Viral clones fan out to invade nearby cells.

About one trillion strong, our white blood cells constitute a highly specialized army of defenders. The phagocytes, which are soldiers in this army, are the first to attack viruses. When they come upon a cell that has burst, they eat up the wreckage and in the process consume the viruses. But they aren’t able to destroy these foes enough to keep them from infecting nearby cells.

The T cells are a more sophisticated part of our immune system. They are trained to recognize invaders. They then send urgent chemical signals to killer T cells. The message is to multiply quickly. The killer T cells puncture the cell membranes bacteria or destroy infected cells before viruses have time to multiply.

During stress the body releases large amounts of a steroid called cortisol. When our soldiers the macrophage recognize and encounter cortisol they can no longer respond to infection.

Exercise may enhance the immune system. It stimulates the brain to release chemicals called endorphin and enkephalin. They also seem to reduce anxiety and cause a sense of well being.

Even more startling, some studies suggest that they affect macrophage and T cells. Exercise may also result in increased levels of interleukin-1 and interferon, both of which strengthens our defenses.

Cannabis & Glaucoma

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006 by Sherri Granato

Up until the 1930s and 1940s extracts of Indian hemp was used medically to treat a wide variety of diseases. In the USA, it was a legal medicine until 1969 and in Britain it was legal until 1971. At the only hearing for the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act, the representative of the American Medical Association (AMA) opposed the new law, worrying it would prevent medical use. There are patients in the USA whom the Federal government supplies with 300 marijuana cigarettes every month. One of these patients is Robert Randall who would have gone blind from glaucoma 25 years ago had he not had access to marijuana to treat his condition. Every other year the University of Mississippi grows some 7000 square metres of marijuana plants for the U.S. government. There are 67 million blind people worldwide who lost their eyesight because of glaucoma, many of them in poor countries in the Caribbean and Africa. Marijuana is the most affordable drug that could have saved their eyesight. Although there is an ongoing public debate about medical use of cannabis, its usefulness has been known for decades. Apparently the British queen, Victoria, used cannabis for period pains. In many cases it has been reported that cannabis helps to alleviate pain of MS patients, cancer and AIDS patients, counteracts negative side effects of medicines and is useful for sufferers from glaucoma. Although there is no conclusive scientific proof of the beneficial effects of cannabis, patient organizations and health care services argue strongly in favor of its application. The Dutch government has set up an official agency to supervise medical distribution of cannabis.
