Running Doc: The importance of Vitamin D

Vitamin D is important in maintaining organ systems, decreasing cancer risk and helps regulate Calcium and Phosphorous absorption. It is made in the skin coupled with UV exposure.

Low levels of vitamin D can cause muscle cramps, spasms, osteoporosis, increased risks of infections as well as diseases like Rickets and multiple sclerosis.

natural sources of vitamin D

I have started to look for this in my practice in those who get side stitches and muscle cramps. I found low vitamin D levels in these patients, and supplementation with 2,000 units per day cured their symptoms. (These people said they already were eating the above foods.)

we cannot, in everyone, pinpoint “why” they are vitamin D deficient. More research is being done to figure this out. My suggestion is that you ask to have your vitamin D levels tested at your yearly physical, along with your other labs. If they are low, a simple vitamin may be necessary to bring your level to a healthy one.

Oftentimes, people feel distraught upon knowing that they have any signs of skin cancer. No one can hold them from having such reaction and feeling for the skin is our largest organ and being affected with one of the lethal disease in the world, the anxiety comes common and natural. However, being familiar with what the disease really is eases the stress and one will have a better fight against it. So, what are signs of skin cancer?

Our body is composed of approximately 50 trillion cells. These cells are self-maintaining and keep our body in good sound. Sometimes, healthy cells lose the ability to sustain themselves and become abnormal cells. From these abnormal cells, cancer develops and spreads out uncontrollably and invades other tissues, organs and bones.

Copolymers can be used in microparticle or "particle-in-particle" drug delivery. Polymers that do not dissolve in acidic solutions can be used to coat a drug to prevent it being released in the stomach; or slowly dissolving polymers can slowly release a drug, reducing the number of times a day a person has to take medication.

The inner particle, shown here in orange, is loaded with the drug prednisolone, used to treat inflammatory bowel disease. The outer particle, in blue, is the copolymer that encapsulates it.

For example, if it is the occasional fever or a cold, take the recommended juice regularly (two or three times a day) until you get well.

And of course, if it is a chronic ailment, like asthma or an allergy, naturally it would take you a longer time. Take the variety of the recommended fruits/vegetables in juice form regularly (two or three times daily) until you see an improvement. Then maintain at once daily.

Always consult a doctor for your condition. Drinking juices is a means to cleanse your body of impurities, replenish lost nutrients and aiding speedier recovery.

Before you start juicing, read the important lessons first, especially if you are rather new to juicing.

Sun and Drinking Don't Mix!

Consuming alcohol in the sun can increase risk of skin cancer. The combination is quite popular, especially here in sunny Southwest Florida. But it might just be safer to enjoy that “Umbrella Drink” under a sun umbrella! Alcohol drinkers suffer an increase in sunburn and skin cancer rates. And no, not just because they may fall asleep in the sun. The alcohol by-products in the body can cause sensitivity to the UV rays, resulting in more damage more quickly.

Yet ANOTHER Joke by the CDC & FDA

CDC Finds 97 Percent of Americans Contaminated by Sunscreens

(CDC) released a new study showing that nearly all Americans are contaminated with oxybenzone, a widely-used sunscreen ingredient. This chemical so far has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, as well as low birth weight in baby girls whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. Oxybenzone is also a penetration enhancer, a chemical that helps other chemicals penetrate the skin. So where has the FDA been on this?

Apparently in the back pocket of the sunscreen industry. The Food and Drug Administration, again, has failed in its duty to protect the public from toxic chemicals like oxybenzone. Caving to the industry lobbyists, the agency has delayed final sunscreen safety standards for nearly 30 years. FDA issued a new draft of the standards last October under pressure from Environmental Working Group (EWG), but continues to delay finalizing them because of pressure from the industry.

Obamas Phony Healthcare Horror Stories

clipper's remarks: Beaton did not lose her insurance because she failed to own up to a skin problem in her past. She lost it because, when enrolling in the plan, she had not reported a previous heart condition and did not list her weight accurately.

Obama tells stories of real-life hardships repeatedly, in his speech to a joint session of Congress, during interviews, and at the citizen meetings he has appeared at across the country to generate support for his campaign to rework medical insurance. Beaton's case is just one of the examples Obama cites that mixes fact with fiction.

In reflexively blaming insurance companies, Obama is playing into fears that have become a frightening reality for many Americans. Health insurance is not always the rock-solid guarantee you think you're paying for.

Especially, it turns out, when you don't fill everything out just right.

In Beaton's case, the insurance company opened an investigation after her visit to a dermatologist and just before her scheduled bre

Obama's Phony Healthcare Horror Stories

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 11:58 AM

WASHINGTON -- One of President Barack Obama's healthcare "horror stories" is about a woman who, he says, lost her health insurance on the verge of breast cancer surgery because she didn't disclose a case of acne to the insurer. That's not what happened.

Oh, to be sure, Robin Lynn Beaton's insurance was suspended and then terminated when she needed it the most. And the 59-year-old Waxahachie, Texas, woman's story is a cautionary tale about how an insurance company can act in a seemingly arbitrary manner to revoke coverage for lifesaving treatment.

But not for the reasons Obama cites.

She "was about to get a double mastectomy when her insurance company canceled her policy because she forgot to declare a case of acne," he said in one telling.

Precautions
Results vary from person to person. Propecia lowers readings of the PSA screening test for prostate cancer. If you're scheduled to have your PSA level checked, make sure the doctor knows you're taking Propecia. It may take several months for the Propecia to work. Do not stop taking this medicine without checking with your doctor. Stopping this medicine will result in a return within 12 months to the same amount of baldness as when you started. Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use Propecia and should not handle crushed or broken tablets of Propecia. If a woman who is pregnant with a male baby absorbs the active ingredient in Propecia, either by swallowing or through the skin, it may cause abnormalities of a male baby?s sex organs.
