Giant ejection of plasma in the Sun on Monday night could reach Earth on Wednesday 10/2/2013 at night and cause a magnetic storm Giant ejection of plasma in the Sun on Monday night could reach Earth on Wednesday 10/2/2013 at night and cause a magnetic storm.
Release of half the size of the solar disk, in order to hold to a tow spiral magnetic field of the sun was like a big caterpillar and contained several hundreds of millions of tons of solar material.
10 minutes after its separation from the sun, scientists have documented the growth of the concentration of protons in the near-Earth space.
Around the afternoon of October 2, 2013 you can expect a moderate magnetic storm Kp index of geomagnetic disturbances can rise to a value of 6.
Manifest in these days of caution and act as a magnetic storm: not reboot nor mentally, physically or food to fill up, dress warmly, if there are no contraindications, do not forget about aspirin.
People forecasters: winter will be mild with little snow, frost and long People forecasters calm, despite the cold October, the winter will be mild with littlesnow and frost.

Autumn arrives with a flu epidemic Autumn usually does not come alone, but together with the epidemic of influenza. |
This year, as epidemiologists predict, Ukraine will prevail influenza virus A / California (H1N1), A / Victoria (H3N2) and B / Massachusetts.
By meeting with them to prepare now.
This simple tips will help renowned pediatrician Eugene Komorowski.
The main feature of the influenza virus - the ability to constantly change (in this insidious disease and - people do not have time to get immunity for a certain strain of the virus, as he has already changed). To date, three major medical known influenza virus types - A, B and C.
Since the virus is different in that it is stable, that is, if a person is ill with him once he gets immunity for life.
Therefore, they suffer mostly children.
Influenza B - volatile, but not as much as the influenza A virus, which is constantly changing - that it causes an epidemic.
By itself, the flu is not terrible, dangerous its complications - bronchitis, pneumonia, heart disease, meningitis.
The probability of getting these diseases increases if flu transferred to the legs, so the main condition for the treatment - bed rest.
How to become infected with the flu? The only source of transmission of the virus - a sick man.
The flu because you're cold or wet feet can not.
Most people become infected either at work (in school), or on public transport.
If possible, it is best to walk a few stops, you go to a crowded shuttle bus or trolley.
Of all modes of public transport during rush hour on the subway to get better, because there is good air circulation.
The best prevention of influenza - vaccination, but it shows only healthy people, and it must be done at least 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the epidemic.
It should be remembered that immunity following vaccination lasts 6-12 months, so last year's vaccination this year will be ineffective.
All the more so in the current season epidemiologists predict circulating virus strains which were not included in last year's vaccine.
Fans of the so-called people's means of prevention should be remembered that there is no magic remedy against flu does not exist.
Onions, garlic, and the more alcohol is absolutely useless.
The same applies to various immunostimulants, vitamins, and nutritional supplements.
Therefore, do not spend money to buy drugs shirokoreklamiruemyh.
Many people believe that will help protect against infection gauze mask.
This view is mistaken.
The size of the virus is so small that it easily penetrates through the many layers of masks.
But if the sick person wear a mask, it delays the droplets of saliva, which particularly high concentration of the virus through coughing, sneezing or even talking, it will somewhat reduce the risk of infection for the next are healthy people.
It should be remembered that the mask is quickly becoming wet from breathing and she actually becomes a source of infection.
Therefore, it should be changed every 2 hours or carefully iron with a hot iron.
The common route of transmission of the virus - infected through the hands of (the patient for the nose, the mouth and the virus gets on your hands).
It is therefore desirable to refrain from shaking hands and wash your hands frequently with soap and water.
And if not a handkerchief, but I want to sneeze, you better not do it in your palm, and elbow.
The flu virus feels comfortable in a dry, warm and poorly ventilated areas.
But he quickly breaks down in a cool, lively air. Because in the street while walking to catch the disease is difficult, especially in cold weather.
Houses should always ventilate the area and it is advisable not to include an additional heating appliance, as they are very dry air.
If it is cold in the apartment, it is best to dress warmly and preferably several times a day to do wet cleaning, especially if the house is sick.
There is an increased risk to catch the flu virus when the person takes the medication that dried mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract (this also applies to people who suffer them dry).
Therefore, mucous membranes should be constantly wet.
This can be done with normal saline (it should be placed in pshykalku) or ready sprays that are sold in pharmacies.
This is particularly important to do when going to a crowded place, such as a clinic. in the ordinary course of influenza can be done without drugs.
In the treatment of influenza is important to observe the following rules.
Sick - go to the hospital.
Transferring the flu on your feet, you not only risk your health, but is guaranteed to become the cause of contamination of several people. If you do not feel sorry for yourself, then at least have pity on others.
The main thing - bed rest. It is not necessary to run to the drugstore and buy a lot of drugs.
In the ordinary course of influenza can be done without drugs.
It will be sufficient fluid intake, nutrition, hydration of the nose and receive askorbinki.
Do not be carried away by the alleged antigrippoznymi (in which we try to convince advertising) preparations, based on - paracetamol.
Influenza virus, they have no effect, but the liver can plant.
And do not forget that the room should constantly be clean, cool, moist air.
Antipyretics should be used only when there is a high temperature (above 38 ° C).
Remember, the viral infection is not treated with antibiotics, should not be using them, and for the prevention of complications - to treat the disease before its onset is meaningless.
By the way, according to the State Service of Ukraine on drugs, including the Ministry of Health registered drugs, there are those that do not help in the treatment of influenza.
In particular, it anaferon, angistol and aflubin.
Useless flu medicines here.

Disease wet wind or the relationship between joint pain and weather forecasts Is it true that the weather can exacerbate physical pain? This is one of the longest-running disputes in medicine, says The Wall Street Journal.
Hippocrates observed that some of the disease - seasonal, and in China rheumatic disease called wet wind, writes journalist Melinda Beck. We supplement that in the UK it is known as a disease sodden feet.
But when modern scientists have attempted to identify the relationship between weather and painful symptoms, the results were mixed. Psychologist Amos Tversky in the mid-1990s concluded: Beliefs about people pain from arthritis and weather, perhaps, tell us more about the work of the mind than on the functioning of the body.
However, other studies say: changes in temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure have some connection with the strengthening of the pain associated with arthritis and osteoarthritis, as well as headache, toothache, pain in the jaw, in the scars, lower spine, pelvis, exacerbation of fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, gout and phantom limb syndrome.
According to one of the leading hypotheses, reducing the atmospheric pressure, which is often preceded by a storm, the pressure changes inside the joints - the newspaper said. Robert Jamison (Harvard Medical School) compares the joint with a balloon that is inflated by a reduction of ambient pressure and presses on the nerve endings.
For its part, the rheumatologist Peshens White points out that not all patients with arthritis experience pain, dependent on the weather. It is much more common in people with effusion (abnormal accumulation of fluid in the joint or around it).
Be that as it may, orthopedists, rheumatologists, neurologists and even fitness trainers say their customers are increasingly complaining of pain when the weather gets colder or approaching storm.
On Web sites, Weather Channel and AccuWeather there are signs that reflect the likelihood of pain syndromes, depending on weather conditions - for example, the index of arthritis.
38-year-old Bill Bolderaz from Ohio says, his pain from rheumatoid arthritis last year predicted a tornado that failed to anticipate the weather forecasters.
Judging by some studies, in cold weather seems to be increasing the risk of strokes, heart attacks and sudden death from heart failure - the newspaper writes. According to scientists, the reason is that the blood becomes thicker, and the vessels are narrowed.
Growth humidity may provoke hardening and swelling of the joints. People with chronic inflammation of the weather swings cause irritation of nerve endings.
But there is the weather, which relieves pain: for example, the warm wind from the high-pressure specific to the west of Canada, facilitate neuropathic pain.
The paper gives some practical advice for those who want to weaken meteodependent pain.
If the predicted storm or cold snap in advance take a pain killer or anti-inflammatory. Do not neglect warm clothing, avoid drafts, lead an active lifestyle. Use a dehumidifier to prevent a sharp rise in humidity.
Sweet on autumn seasonal depression Sweet almost certain to late autumn seasonal depression.
Low temperatures and short daylight hours increase appetite, and it is difficult to keep from overeating.
His contribution made by depressed mood and depressive disorder of a different kind, which many simply seize.
Refrain from excessive eating many people can not, and the food is mixed on more Muchnom sweet, and the weight starts to grow by leaps and bounds, but by the hour.
Because Surround yourself with light, up to the light therapy, the benefit of offerings on the market more than enough.
In the diet include fresh fruit, cold-water fatty fish and hard cheese.
Hard cheese supply sources in the body for pleasure hormone serotonin, fish oil inhibits the synthesis of adrenaline and cortisol, which is associated with distress as a source of depression, supplying fresh fruit, natural sugar, without which the brain seasonal depression simply can not cope. The last is the most that neither is on target, sweet.
Be sure not to forget to dress for the season.
Prevent and alleviate seasonal depression is much more correct than the intensely psevdolechit psevdolekarstvami.
At the very least you should think about melatoninomimetikah and natural adaptogens, which means at the very first seasonal meteozavisimosti.

Applications for mobile gadgets for weight loss can be beneficial, but could be better applications to mobile gadgets, iPhones and Android for weightloss can be beneficial, but could be better, believe Sherry Pagoto and colleagues.
These applications include at least three strategies: dietary goals, objectives of physical life, the patient's ability to influence the progress in achieving the results to improve their health.
Scientists have evaluated the free version and an enhanced version costing 3.99 MyNetDiary application for the iPhone as the best in achieving weightloss.
The results of free and paid version of the application to influence the behavioral responses of users regarding the goals were the same.
The best applications are recognized Noom Weight Loss app and the Calorie Counter and Diet Tracker, both available for free.
Applications lack of proposals on ways to reduce distress, prevent relapses, social support, change negative thinking, the regular nature of power, time management resources, etc.
Among the positive factors include equipment for about half of the applications of scanners for reading bar codes on the labels of food products, and links to online social networks.

The immune response to an allergen can deal with toxic substances, which without it would just kill us immune response to an allergen can deal with toxic substances, which without it would just kill us.
The stronger your immune system reacts to a bee sting, so perhaps ceeding your resistance to bee venom. (Photo by Shutterstock.)
The intrusion into the body of something alien immunity can give two answers: one occurs when the appearance of bacteria and viruses, the immune system destroys the cells together with the slain, and the other starts with the appearance of a large parasite that must be expelled. The answer of the second type - is a cough, runny nose, sneezing, diarrhea, etc., accompanied by the synthesis of immunoglobulin E (IgE).
Many scientists believe that the antiparasitic immune response in modern humans evolved in an allergic reaction, which in the world of parasites without this immune response is triggered when a completely harmless substances such as pollen and other things. However, researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine (USA) came to a different conclusion in their experiments, they were convinced of the usefulness of allergy.
Stephen Galli (Stephen Galli) and his colleagues experimented with bee venom, which is known to be a strong allergen. Scientists moderate dose of poison was injected (approximately equal to two bees) mice that were susceptible to immune response of either the first or the second type. And those and other then elaborated allergic IgE-antibodies.
Three weeks later, the same animals were taken almost a lethal dose of bee venom. Simultaneously, the same dose was given to mice of both lines, which is not treated to the substance. As the researchers write in Immunity, a maximum of deaths was among those to whom this poison was administered, but the lines of mice predisposed to a second immune response, survived still more.
Of the mice that were given to this poison, survived more than half. But again among those who were predisposed to an immune response the first type, 66% remained alive, and mice of the second type - 80%.
The researchers concluded that it was an allergic antibody type E helped to survive the survivors. Moreover, these antibodies protected, even those who do not synthesize them: such animals have benefited injection of IgE, obtained from mice in which these antibodies appeared after treatment with bee venom.
Another group of researchers led by Medzhitova Ruslan (Ruslan Medzhitov) School of Medicine, Yale University (USA) Make sure that the body's immune system reacts to the allergenic enzyme PLA2, which is found in the venoms of snakes, spiders and other unpleasant creatures, and which has the ability to damage the membrane. It appears, to the authors of this work in the same Immunity, immune cytokines related to the response of the second type, help to eliminate damage caused by PLA2. That is, as we see, useless the second type of immune response again proves very handy.
Perhaps such an immune response is actually protecting us from toxins and exhausting allergic symptoms - this is just an unpleasant enclosure. However, as some skeptics have to fully believe this hypothesis, it is necessary to make sure that allergies really are more resistant to toxins than those people who are fortunate enough to live without allergies.
Also, do not forget that allergies can be up to anaphylactic shock, which can result in very sad. Should I even anaphylactic shock looked upon as a defense against toxins? In general, these two works, for all its originality, leave more questions about the role of allergies in our lives than it answers.

We are in the grip of an allergy epidemic. 50 years ago one in 30 were affected, but in Britain today it is closer to one in three. Why this should be is one of modern medicine's greatest puzzles.
In search of answers, Horizon travels round the globe, from the remotest inhabited island to the polluted centres of California and the UK. We meet sufferers and the scientists who have dedicated their lives trying to answer the mystery of why we are becoming allergic to our world.
In setting the price of the drug is important its utility and value In January 2012, the Office of the United States by the Food and Drug Administration approved the drug Kalydeco, who became the first drug to treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis. It made it just three months after his examination. It was one of the fastest new drug approvals in the history of the agency. Designed and developed by the drug company Vertex Pharmaceuticals has appointed him the price at 294,000 dollars a year, and Kalydeco has become one of the most expensive drugs in the world.
The company also promised to provide them free of all patients in the U.S. who do not have insurance, and whose insurance does not cover cycle costs. Doctors and patients are enthusiastic about this medication, because it helps to save lives, and because there is no other remedy. Insurance companies and the government willingly went to the expense.
A few months later was approved medicine for colorectal cancer Zaltrap. This drug was developed by a new biopharmaceutical company Regeneron, and selling it was the French drug maker Sanofi. Clinical trials have shown that Zaltrap works no better than a cure for cancer Avastin company Roche, which increases the average life expectancy of patients with colorectal cancer at a later stage only 1.4 months. However, the company Sanofi evaluated Zaltrap to $ 11,000 per month, which is two times more expensive means of Avastin.
But suddenly there was resistance. Doctors from New York's Memorial Cancer Center, Sloan-Kettering, which is one of the leading hospitals in the world, decided to prescribe Zaltrap sick does not make sense. They announced their decision (it was the first time that a well-known doctors said their decisive no to expensive cancer drugs) in the pages of New York Times.
Three weeks later, Sanofi essentially reduced the price by half by introducing a system of discounts for doctors and hospitals. However, the British health authorities said they pay for treatment will not.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2012 approved 39 new drugs - the largest number in the last fifteen years. This is a sign that the pharmaceutical industry is chosen from a long period of stagnation.
This rapidly applauded Wall Street because many companies end patents on their most popular products, and they may face a reduction in profits after years of research rather featureless. Most new drugs or a narrow directivity, and is intended for the treatment of rare diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, or only slightly better than existing cancer drugs. And all of them are extremely expensive.
But if you take a closer look at the advertising and promotion of Kalydeco Zaltrap, then show up startling differences in the way companies assess the drug and how they justify its price. It also suggests that in the future will be very expensive medication routine.
Thanks to health insurance, reduce costs through surcharges and programs improving access to medicine for uninsured people, few Americans spend even on the most expensive drugs over a thousand dollars a year. The main buyers of drugs in the United States are not sick and do not even private doctors (although the doctor may raise the demand for the drug), and the government (through the Medicare and Medicaid) and private insurance companies. And since the money is paid insurers and the state, companies set prices that are not available to most people. On the economic jargon, the demand for drugs in terms of price-inelastic: an increase in prices does not reduce the frequency of use of a drug.
Prices are set and rise in line with what the market until it is able to bear this burden. And those who pay the companies will pay a price that they exhibit - just to get an effective medicine that has no alternative. So in settingprices for the drug companies are asking themselves questions that do not have virtually nothing to do with its real value.
This is not scientific - said the pharmaceutical industry veteran and former CEO of Genzyme Henri Termeer (Henri Termeer). - This is a work by feel.
In such a system is initially laid the problem: after all, it most paid by the state, and the doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, pharmacy managers, managers Drug compensation, pharmaceutical firms and investors are making huge profits from the treatment of sick people regardless of how truly they prolong the life of patients. Drug companies claim that they just need to earn billions of dollars in medical preparations, since the research is large failure rate, and since they have to convince investors that invest in research that's right. This is true, but it is also true that the United States, where the population is less than 5% of the global population, buys more than 50% of all drugs in the world, for which a prescription.
And it buys them at that price, which should provide subsidies to the rest of the industrialized world, where the same drugs are cheaper, although the majority of poor countries can not afford them even at such low prices.
However, we must ask ourselves the question: when the high price of the drug is acceptable? Perhaps it is the case that exposes the Vertex 841 dollar price for two pills a day (and so every day in the life of the patient), when the tablets are saving the man's life. And it is another case where Sanofi offers a cure for cancer, which is two times more expensive than others, but no significant advantage has not.

Exclusion of saturated fat from the dietimproves cardiovascular risk For almost forty years, dietary recommendations require the elimination of saturated fat from the diet to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
New evidence suggests, however, that these should not increase, but lower cardiovascular risk.
It turns out that a diet low in saturated fat levels reduces more beneficial high density lipoproteins than low saturated fat improve the lipid profile, and unsaturated degrade it and, moreover, exacerbate insulin resistance.

The Mediterranean diet
Описание:
The Mediterranean diet is a modern nutritional recommendation inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of poor coastal regions of southern Italy, Crete, and Greece in the 1960s.[1]
Despite its name, this diet is not typical of all Mediterranean cuisine. In Northern Italy, for instance, lard and butter are commonly used in cooking, and olive oil is reserved for dressing salads and cooked vegetables.[2] In North Africa wine is traditionally avoided by Muslims. In both North Africa and the Levant, along with olive oil, sheep's tail fat and rendered butter (samna) are traditional staple fats.[3]
The most commonly-understood version of the Mediterranean diet was presented by Dr Walter Willett of Harvard University's School of Public Health in the mid-1990s.[4] Based on "food patterns typical of Crete, much of the rest of Greece, and southern Italy in the early 1960s", this diet, in addition to "regular physical activity," emphasizes "abundant plant foods, fresh fruit as the typical daily dessert, olive oil as the principal source of fat, dairy products (principally cheese and yogurt), and fish and poultry consumed in low to moderate amounts, zero to four eggs consumed weekly, red meat consumed in low amounts, and wine consumed in low to moderate amounts". Total fat in this diet is 25% to 35% of calories, with saturated fat at 8% or less of calories.[5]
The principal aspects of this diet include high olive oil consumption, high consumption of legumes, high consumption of unrefined cereals, high consumption of fruits, high consumption of vegetables, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate to high consumption of fish, low consumption of meat and meat products, and moderate wine consumption.[6]
Olive oil is particularly characteristic of the Mediterranean diet. It contains a very high level of monounsaturated fats, most notably oleic acid, which epidemiological studies suggest may be linked to a reduction in coronary heart disease risk.[7] There is also evidence that the antioxidants in olive oil improve cholesterol regulation and LDL cholesterol reduction, and that it has other anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive effects.[8]
Vitamin D and multiple sclerosis Vitamin D reduces the risk of developing multiple sclerosis, from the results of the debate on the 29th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS).
In support of a number of other facts are such as a sharp reduction in the risk of developing multiplesclerosis in moving from the UK to Australia.
Institute of Medicine (U.S.) recommends that adult residents of the country's daily intake of vitamin D of 4,000 IU, considering that most people do not get it in the proper amount.
Currently, there is no doubt that vitamin D must be an important component of therapy and prevention of multiple sclerosis.

Dispellingmyths about the spread of malignant tumors Experts from the Cancer Center of the Methodist Hospital Houston refute popular misconceptions about cancer and its spread throughout the body.
Can a biopsy trigger the development of metastases?
Over the years, the Internet rumors linking holding a needle biopsy of the spread of cancer throughout the body. In reality, there is no evidence to suggest that a needle biopsy or needle biopsy - a procedure used to diagnose many types of cancer - may contribute to metastasis of malignant cells.
According to the oncologist Eric Bernicker, a needle biopsy of early neoplastic lesions in the breast, thyroid, lung, or allow to diagnose cancer before it began to spread throughout the body. This procedure helps the doctor determine whether a patient has a malignant neoplasm and to appoint the best course of treatment.
In most cases, surgeons can no harm to the patient to remove a small piece of the tumor using a fine needle. The exceptions are the eyes of the tumor and seminal glands that require sampling of blood, the use of visualization techniques, or removal of the entire tumor.
The cause of metastasis is not a mechanical impact needles, malignant cells and the acquisition of the ability of the local structure for release of tumor and enter the bloodstream.
Cancer and Massage
The research results continue to deny the myth that massage promotes the spread of cancer cells through the lymphatic vessels. Studies also suggest that the increased blood flow caused by the massage does not exceed the increase in blood flow that occurs during exercise or under ordinary physical activity.
Many cancer centers offer therapeutic massage as a form of therapy aimed at reducing the severity of symptoms associated with chemotherapy, and improving the quality of life of the patient. Trigger point therapy is recommended for the nausea, a side effect of chemotherapy. Massage of moderate strength helps to reduce pain, muscle tension and psychological stress.
Massage therapist, physical therapist Norma Reyna (Norma Reyna) notes that it is very important to the course of massage therapy to discuss options with your doctor. It is also necessary to take precautionary measures, which include:
Individual selection of the intensity of exposure in order to avoid bruising and soreness;
Check for patient adverse reactions to massage lotions and oils;
rejection of aggressive forms of massage therapy during cancer therapy, including deep tissue massage and sports massage.
Is sugar diet for cancer?
Sugar is not conducive to the spread of cancer. However, eating large quantities of sugar, particularly in the bakery products may contribute to the emergence of excess body weight. This, in turn, may eventually develop into obesity, a risk factor for certain types of cancer.
Sugar is a natural compound, which is part of the food and supplies energy to all the cells of our body.
According to nutritionist Renee Stubbins, the average American used more than 60 pounds of sugar a year, or about 500 calories per day. In this case, the main aspect of any healthy balanced diet is its moderation.
Natural sugars that make up the fruit, vegetables and grains are necessary to maintain muscle mass and total body weight during the period of anti-tumor therapy. Also demonstrated their positive role in the fight against cancer.

Cancer Myths in the United States Dispelled by Dr. Miller
Описание:
Dr. Jacqueline Miller, Medical Director at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, dispels the myth that a cancer diagnosis is a death sentence.
Differentstrains of the most commonintestinal bacteria have different effects on our health Various strains of the most common intestinal bacteria have different effects on our health, depending on whether they are allocated to the feed intestinal mucus.
Not only affects the intestinal microflora of us but we influence the microflora, and it happens due to the mucin proteins that are part of the mucus covering the intestinal epithelium. Mucins are usually associated with molecules of carbohydrates, and together they represent a rather complex structure. Different bacteria have different attitudes to the mucin: some interact with them and eat them, while others can not even stay on the wall of the intestine, if there are any of mucins.
One of the most common bacteria in our microflora - Ruminococcus gnavus, which can be found in 90% of people, including infants. Of R. gnavus health depends on the gastrointestinal tract, if the proportion of the bacteria to deviate from the norm, this may lead to inflammatory bowel disease. It is also known that this bacterium has never averse to eat mucins.
Bacteria R. gnavus (photo Kathryn Cross / Institute of Food Research).
However, researchers from the Institute of Food Research in Norwich (UK) noted that different strains have different attitudes to the mucin, if one of the strains of R. gnavus can easily be fed solely by mucins, the other on such a diet for a long time did not comply. As expected, were between genetic variation.
Thus, the body can choose for myself with what bacteria to live, providing some food and starving others. (It is not necessary, of course, forget that bacteria may mutate so that adapt to any food conditions). However, if one of the bacterial strains better suited for utilization of carbohydrates in the mucosal layer, it means that it can be populated into the intestine neonates mucins which may be the only source of food for the bacteria. Well, then this strain can be the most intimate - literally - to the epithelial cells, simply because it can penetrate the mucus layer of mucin.
This means that when you want to find out what the cause of gastrointestinal illness in a patient, you have to take into account that different strains of the same bacteria have a significant different eating habits, but because of their interaction with the intestine and role in the development of a disease can vary greatly.

rheumatoid arthritis diet cure - rheumatoid arthritis home treatment Get it: http://www.niche-finder.net/rheumatoi... To cure Rheumatoid Arthritis it is very important to do everything perfectly 'right'. However, many RA sufferers are inadvertently making their RA worse because of a lack of information or by not fully understanding the underlying cause of this disease. So today, to help you on your path to wellness, I would like to warn you about two types of drugs that can make your Rheumatoid Arthritis worse in the long run and give you some simple tools so that you can protect yourself from this problem.
The two drugs that I will discuss below can both have the effect of upsetting your digestive system in the worst possible way. These drugs create turmoil on the healthy bacteria in your intestines (which are called 'probiotics' by the supplement companies) and damage your intestinal wall leading to poor absorption of nutrients and a concept known as 'leaky gut' by Naturopaths. 'Leaky Gut' is actually a descriptive term for having holes in your intestinal wall, which then allows large foreign molecules to enter your blood. These foreign proteins entering your blood can trigger a state of 'molecular mimicry' and result in your body attacking it's own joints in a state of innocent confusion. Quite literally, by having a depleted intestinal environment you will experience worsened symptoms of RA.
So, we need to look at the following two drugs very seriously! Let us first look at Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID's)
NSAID's
There are a large range NSAID's that are commonly used to treat arthritis. Research has shown that most of these drugs actually contribute to 'leaky gut' and thus perpetuate Rheumatoid Arthritis through the mechanisms I have described above. The offenders include all the common brands like Advil, Motrin, Naprosyn and so on, with the only exceptions being aspirin and nabumetone (Relafen). [1] It has been shown that these drugs can increase intestinal permeability (holes in the intestinal wall) within 24 hours [2]
My personal experience matches these findings. The first medication I took for my RA was one of the leading NSAID brands. It was fantastic at relieving my pain for about 2 weeks. As time wore on the effects of the drug diminished and so after about 3 weeks I decided to see how I felt once I stopped taking the drug. After stopping this medication I felt about twice as bad as what I was before I started taking it. Looking back I believe that my intestinal wall took a battering during this time, which in turn led to increased swelling and pain.
I learnt most about my body and my food intolerances by remaining off these drugs. These drugs interfere with the critically important communication that occurs, via pain levels, from eating a food and monitoring its effect on your body. By cutting out the pain with a drug I was losing all the information I needed to create a diet free of offending foods.
Since NSAID's are common and are available over the counter we think that they can't be too harmful for us. It couldn't be further from the truth. If you are stuck at the moment on these drugs due to persistent pain levels then that's OK - pain relief and protection from joint damage in the short term is obviously of paramount importance - but I'll show you below some great ways to offset the long term effects whilst you wean yourself off these drugs.
But first, lets look at another drug that is wreaking havoc on your insides:
ANTIBIOTICS
To start our discussion of antibiotics and their effect on the body, we first need to talk about something a little unusual - your intestinal bacteria...
In an ideal state of health you would have between 2-4 pounds of bacteria living inside your intestines in numbers upwards of 40 Trillion. This may sound like the premise of a horror film, but don't freak out, the vast majority of organisms living in there are helpful, or at least not harmful, to our lives. Beneficial Bacteria (also called Probiotics or Microflora) are the good bacteria that live inside us with the majority found between the end of the small intestine and the distal colon. These tiny organisms are absolutely imperative to our health and we should really think of this big mass of mini life as a vital organ like a lung or a kidney.
The many important functions that our bacteria perform for us includes killing harmful bacteria, killing fungus (also known as candida), and building B vitamins for the rest of our body to use. They also help our bodies produce enzymes, help to change the acidity within our cells and play an important role in the development of the immune system by maintaining a constant dialog with our internal bodies through the surface of the gut. Our microflora also influences many of our hormones. So this healthy bacteria is very important stuff. *****
Herbal teas contain hazardous to health pyrrolizidine alkaloids Herbal teas are considered to be curative, but the investigation carried out by the Institute for Risk Assessment in Berlin, revealed the dangerous health pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
In most people's minds for a long time and herbal teas are strongly associated with concepts such as therapeutic, healing, wellness. Internet is clogged guidelines for the collection of herbs and recipes for teas and infusions from a variety of illnesses and ailments. The greater the anxiety aroused now warning, delivered by the Berlin Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in the Ministry of Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture Germany.
Agency reported that tested the more than 220 species available in the general sale of herbal teas and many of them have found unexpectedly high levels of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
This is a group of chemical compounds of plant origin, which possess carcinogenic properties. If, however, keep in mind that the Berlin Institute has not been seen in the tendency toward alarmism, then to his warning should be taken very seriously.
Carcinogens in salads and sauces
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are synthesized by many plants as a defense against pests. For efficiency, and hence toxicity, some of these substances surpass all artificially produced pesticides. In all, the scientists recorded more than 500 pyrrolizidine alkaloids in more than six thousand plant species.
A typical example of such a plant can serve as borage, says Boyerle Till (Till Beuerle), Fellow of the Institute of Pharmaceutical Biology at the Technical University of Braunschweig: Borage - Borago officinalis. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are found in all parts of the plant - and in the roots and stem, and the leaves and flowers. Cultivated as a valuable honey plant.
However, young borage leaves are also used in home cooking: it is part of the Frankfurt green sauce, add them to salads and vinaigrettes. But no one knows exactly how many carcinogenic pyrrolizidine alkaloids falls while consumption.
Rocket salad with a touch of ragwort
The most widely distributed plants with a high content of pyrrolizidine alkaloids are common groundsel, yakobeya ordinary, comfrey, coltsfoot. Let the majority of them are not used directly in cooking, but the danger to humans are all the same.
Already in 2009, a lot of noise was made history with the discovery in a supermarket package arugula mixed with ragwort. Arugula leaves are very similar to the common ragwort leaves - says Till Boyerle. - Even if you put them side by side on two piles, only an expert will notice the difference. And if they are mixed, there is a botanist and sort them will not be easy. Recruit a consumer does not see that to outsiders blended arugula leaves.
And they are not just strangers, but very poisonous.
Slowly but surely poisoning
However, that old story - a case apparently unique. But the accidental eating of rich plant pyrrolizidine alkaloids grazing livestock - apparently, a very common phenomenon, to say - mass. This slow but steady poisoning causes the animals eventually cirrhosis of the liver.
And carcinogens can with milk and meat enter the human body ...
They can, but get it? It is difficult to say, this question is almost not studied. Scientists know not all of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, many still do not lend themselves to the identification in the laboratory. Another problem is that - unlike poisoning poisonous mushrooms or berries, which usually makes itself felt after only an hour or two - pyrrolizidine alkaloid poisoning may go unnoticed for years. It's more comparable to smoking - says Till Boyerle - that is, it is a very small doses of venom entering the body on a regular basis for many years.
Therefore it is necessary, on the one hand, to educate consumers and on the other, to exclude ingress pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the food chain.
His honey is better stranger
A separate issue - the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in honey. According to the scientist, German, and indeed European honey is almost free of carcinogens, but the imported goods - especially from South America, Australia and New Zealand - really can not be too healthy.
Therefore, the Institute for Risk Assessment encourages those who are used to eating a lot of honey, as well as children, pregnant and nursing mothers, to give preference to European products and often change the brand of honey. This will reduce the possibility of a dangerous poison. Just do not think that such recommendations - a measure to support the Letter of manufacturer: they are based on the results of a purely scientific research.
Know when to stop and change the grade
But back to where we started: to herbal teas. Alfonso Lampen (Alfonso Lampen), who heads the Berlin office department of food safety, emphasizes that this research of herbal teas are not representative and therefore refuses to name those varieties that are experiencing the highest content of pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Classic teas and all were represented by only a few varieties that do not allow any serious conclusions.
One can only note that the least of carcinogens found in green tea, and that loose teas on average safer than tea bags.
As for the recommendations to consumers of tea, then they are no different from those of the Institute for Risk Assessment has given in respect of honey: when to stop and change often grade. Especially that no legal documents establishing the maximum permissible concentration pyrrolizidine alkaloids in food, either in Germany or in Europe as a whole is not there yet, and completely eliminate the ingress of contaminants into the tea dangerous in its industrial production will hardly be possible in the future.

Fiber is found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains.
According to WHO recommendations for men aged 19 to 50 years required 38 grams and 50 years - 30 grams and women - 25 grams and 21 grams, respectively.
In real life, fiber intake among men and women is only 16 grams per day.

Keep bottled honey Modern archaeologists uncovering the ancient Egyptian tombs, often find they are completely preserved pots of honey - things that would seem hard to expect to see in the millennial burial. According to archaeologists, centuries this honey does not go bad, and it means that we are talking about food that can be kept forever.
There are other examples of the products stored in raw form indefinitely - for example, salt, sugar, dried Fig. However, honey is something unusual - it is stored in a ready-to-eat form. If you do not want to fill his mouth with uncooked rice and salt, in a thousand years of a jar of honey can, apparently, just dip a spoon and eat it without any treatment, as if it were yesterday.
Moreover, it imparts durability honey other properties, particularly medicinal, which have no other products. And that brings us to the question: what is so special about honey?
The answer to this is as multifaceted as the taste of the honey. To get the food product with unlimited shelf life, you need to match a harmonious whole slew of factors.
First, the case in the chemical composition of honey. First, honey - a sugar. Sugar is hygroscopic, that is, contain very little water in its natural state and is easy to absorb moisture if they are not tightly sealed. The Executive Director of the honey and pollination of the Robert Mondavi Institute at the University of California at Davis, Amina Harris (Amina Harris) explains: We honey in its natural form is extremely low humidity. In such an environment can survive only a few of the bacteria and micro-organisms - they are usually simply die therein.
She literally strangling them. This is an important factor contributing to the longevity of honey: that he corrupted, you need to have something in it that can damage it. A medium in the pot of honey is so inhospitable that it is difficult to live long enough to spoil the honey.
Furthermore, extremely high acidity honey. Its pH is between about 3 and 4.5, and a level of acidity kills almost everything that could be in it to grow, - says Harris. Therefore, bacteria and harmful organisms should look for something else to housing - a bank of honey life is too short.
However, honey - not only hygroscopic food product. Let's take the molasses, a by-product of sugar production, it is extremely hygroscopic. In addition, it is also acidity is high, although lower than that of honey (pH about 5.5).
However, it is still spoiled, albeit slowly - after all a product of processing sugar cane is kept longer than fresh food.
So why does one sugar syrup can be stored indefinitely, and the other - no? The fact bees.
Bees have their own magic, - joking Harris. In the process of making honey does have something of alchemy. Nectar - the raw material for honey that is collected by bees - contains a lot of water, from 60% to 80%, according to Harris - and bees removed most of it, literally draining the nectar of flapping wings. In addition, the important role played by the device bee stomach.
It produces an enzyme called glyukooksidaza. When the bees regurgitate nectar cell, the enzyme is mixed with it and forms two side product - gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. It is a hydrogen peroxide - Harris says - this is the next line of defense against harmful organisms that could grow in it.
So honey used for centuries as a medicine. Since it is thick, it does not develop, and it comprises hydrogen peroxide, it provides excellent protection against wound infection. The earliest mention of the fact that honey has been used for medicinal purposes, can be found on Sumerian clay tablets: it contains 30% of medical prescriptions.
The ancient Egyptians used honey as a regular medication, turning it into an ointment from skin diseases and eye. Honey covering wounds, burns, cuts, and so on, because it does not develop. It was such a natural bandage - says Harris.
Also, if the honey is not airtight, it absorbs moisture. It draws water from the wound, which could be a source of contamination, and emits little hydrogen peroxide. This amount of peroxide - as much as you need.
That was the minimum dosage, it promotes healing. Honey for the treatment of open wounds now uses not only traditional medicine - in the past decade, medical company Derma Sciences began to produce honey-coated bandages MEDIHONEY, which are now being used in hospitals around the world.
If you buy honey in the store, this golden nectar in a plastic bottle warmed, filtered and cleaned off from the solid particles. Accordingly, no impurities in the fluid in which the molecules could form crystals, and it can store the same kind of virtually forever. However, if the honey purchased from a small supplier, it may remain impurities - from the pollen to the enzymes.
In this case, honey may crystallize, but do not worry - if it is not sealed, it was not damaged and will not go bad for a long time.
Finally, the last factor that provides long-term storage of honey - a sealed vessel, as evidenced by thousands of years of Egyptian pots of honey. Honey, no doubt, - Superfoods, but there is nothing supernatural: leave it open in wet environments, and it gets messed up. While the cover is in place and there is no water in the product, it does not spoil.
If you add the water - it will go bad. If you open the lid, it does not absorb water and deteriorate, - says Harris
Thus, if you want to store honey for centuries, act like bees, and keep it bottled up. While it is of course difficult - it is delicious too!

Specific immunotherapy analyzing the current epidemiological studies, it is difficult not to agree that in the near future, there is no prospect to reduce or at least stabilize the rates of incidence of allergic diseases in the population, especially in the pediatric population.
It would seem that we know enough about the etiology, pathogenesis, different flow characteristics of allergy and its diagnosis, but still say that the full control of the symptoms of atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis or bronchial asthma, we can not.
In this publication, I wanted to go to a fun, effective and at the same time controversial method of treatment of allergic disease - specific immunotherapy (SIT).
WHO recommends that in addition to the term specific immunotherapy to use the terms specific desensitization, allergen immunotherapy, allergen-specific vaccination, specific allergovaktsinatsiya, allergen vaccine» (WHO Position paper In Allergen Immunotherapy: Therapeutic vaccines for allergic diseases, 1997).
The main purpose of SIT - desensitize the patient to cause significant allergen, to prevent the formation of complexes between fixed on a target cell antibodies and IgE-allergen.
Despite 80 years of experience in the use of this method of treatment, desensitization mechanisms are not fully understood, the original principle - the administration of small doses of the allergen provocation to reduce the risk of anaphylactic-type reactions and increase anti-allergy protection - remains intact.
Beginning with the work of British doctors L.Noon, G.Freeman (1911), SIT is appointed for allergic diseases caused immediate reactions, anaphylactic-type [1].
SIT method took a firm place in the treatment of atopic diseases, which is the etiologic factors of pollen, house dust, certain insect allergens, mold, yeast-like fungi, etc. The use of the ITA provides clinical efficiency.
The rationale for SIT in these cases is to identify patients with specific IgE-response to these allergens.
Another condition for the appointment of SIT in atopic diseases is the inability to eliminate the cause and prevention of significant allergen or contact the patient with an etiological factor of the disease.
Treatment is carried out allergist allergy only in office, hospitals.
Choosing an allergen (allergen) for SIT is based on the data previously held Allergic patient specific diagnostics:
? identification of allergic history;
? production of skin-allergy tests;
? implementation of elimination tests (cessation of contacts the patient to the allergen);
? Allergodiagnostics specific laboratory (in vitro), which is carried out in order to clarify the etiologic factor.
Allergen immunotherapy is assigned only on the basis of specific diagnosis, allowing to identify the cause and significant allergen or allergens, the degree of sensitization to him, the type of allergic reaction to a particular allergen.
According to the allergodiagnostic identify the cause and 1-3 significant allergens, with medical forms which hold the ITA.
The optimal age of the patients, who are encouraged to SIT, ranges from 5 to 50 years. The earlier treatment is started (in the early stages of the disease), the higher the probability of a good effect.
Most natural allergens are proteins having a molecular weight in the range from 10 to 70 kD. The parameters of the molecules determine its ability to easily penetrate through the barriers of the mucous membranes of the airways.
According H.Lowenstein, allergenic properties can be characterized as a glycoprotein with high molecular weight (200 kD). However macromolecular allergens with difficulty or not at all penetrate mucosal barriers. In this case, the action allergenic factors can be realized only when they receive a parenteral and in very small amounts (microgram nano-).
Sensitization possible if the barrier is overcome gistogematologichesky. Allergenic extracts containing from 20 to 50 protein antigens which can be regarded as potential allergens. [3]
Methods of extraction of allergens from natural raw materials include the following steps:
- study of quality allergenic raw materials;
- extraction of raw materials, in which the requirement is met maximum extraction of allergens with a minimum degree of denaturation and destruction;
- highly purified extracts impurities from the ballast;
- the isolation and analysis of the major and minor allergens and their identification;
- Analysis of the functional groups of allergens;
- assessment of specificity and safety allergens.
Pollen allergens - the major allergens of plant origin. Pollen - male germ cells of the plant. Vegetative parts of the plant and the fruit may also have allergenic properties, but in a less pronounced degree.
Pollen is produced in microsporangiums (anthers). Ripe pollen from wind enters the airspace.
The most allergenic pollen is wind-pollinated plants, the size of pollen grains in which are small in size, and quantitative indicators to ten times higher than the same levels of pollen entomophilous plants.
It is known that the structure of the most allergenic pollen grains are exine, mitochondrial, ribosomal structure, the nucleus. Exine surface has a variety of spines, appendages, teeth, etc., which determine the specific structure of the pollen grain.
In central Ukraine, Russia, Europe and in several other countries, the most common allergic reaction to pollen allergens are identified trees (birch, alder, hazel, etc.), cereals (timothy, rye, etc.), weeds (mugwort, quinoa and etc.). The plants that produce pollen, refer to the group Spermatophyta.
House dust is one of the most active inhaled allergens, hypersensitivity to it is detected in the majority of patients with bronchial asthma. According allergenic composition, it is a multiple. Clamp, fungal, epidermal, bacterial, chemical and other components may be determined profile of house dust allergen.
Hypersensitivity patients may be identified as a complex allergen of house dust and to its individual components.
RCPanzani described the process of transition of individual allergens insektnyh human dwellings in aeroallergens. Particles of dead insects, mites and other metabolites of live animals are the source of insektnyh aeroallergens. All of them are of the type taxonomically Arthropoda - the most popular in the fauna of the earth.
The most common allergy to representatives akarofauny home: Dermatophgoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophgoides farinae, Dermatophgoides microceras, Lepidoglyphys destructor, etc.
The problem of hypersensitivity to mite allergens in respiratory allergy remains one of the most important. Despite the fact that an allergy to cockroaches was recorded in the same period as the tick bite, the interest in the problem of the so-called cockroach-allergy manifested itself later. The most active allergens isolated from the body, cockroach feces and dumped them cover (molt).
The capsule, eggs, head were less allergenic.
Extremely important is the analysis of the mechanisms of cross-allergic reactions to allergens of mites, cockroaches, stinging insects (Aedes aegypti, Honey bee, Bumble bee, etc.) [5].
Regulatory T cells in melanoma: the final hurdle towards effective immunotherapy?
Описание:
Dr. Hans Jacobs and Dr. Stefan Nierkens in a joint collaboration between the Departments of Tumour Immunology, Medical Oncology and Laboratory Medicine have recently published an article in top journal Lancet oncology with new insights into immunoltherapy of melanoma patients.
Immunotherapy studies in patients with melanoma have reported success in the expansion of tumour-specific effector T cells in vivo, but even in the presence of substantial numbers of functional T cells circulating in the blood, favourable clinical outcomes are scarce. This failure to induce robust clinical responses might be related to tumour-induced immune evasion, rendering the host tolerant to melanoma antigens. Immunosuppression in the tumour microenvironment mediated by regulatory T cells (Treg) is a dominant mechanism of tumour immune escape and is a major hurdle for tumour immunotherapy. Accumulation of Treg in melanoma is frequently recorded and the ratio of CD8-positive T cells versus Treg in the tumour microenvironment is predictive for survival of patients with melanoma. Hence, depletion of Treg seems to be a promising strategy for the enhancement of melanoma-specific immunity. Indeed, murine studies have shown that Treg depletion greatly increases the efficacy of immunotherapy. But despite the success of some strategies in depletion of Treg in patients, overall clinical efficacy has been disappointing. The lack of Treg specificity of the Treg depleting strategies applied so far imply that well-designed studies into dosage, timing, and administration regimens with more specific agents are urgently needed. Depletion of functional Treg from the tumour microenvironment as part of multifaceted immunotherapeutic treatments is a major challenge to induce clinically relevant immune responses against melanomas.
