A: Burning mouth syndrome is characterized by intense burning pain in the mouth, often affecting the tongue and lips. Patients say it feels as if they've scalded their mouths by drinking something too hot. No one knows the cause, but the syndrome has been associated with menopause, oral thrush, dry mouth (xerostomiadefine), nutritional deficiencies, and psychological problems including anxiety and depressiondefine (burning mouth may cause emotional upset or result from it). It most commonly occurs among postmenopausal women, perhaps because of the effects of hormonal changes on the composition of salivadefine.
Aromatherapy is a form of alternative healing that makes use of volatile plant oils, referred to as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds obtained from plants for the overall physical and psychological well-being of a person.
Patients with type-2 diabetes may be at increased risk of contracting tuberculosis (TB) because they generally have a compromised immune systemdefine, which results in life-threatening lung infections that are more difficult to treat. And for this reason, it is important to manage diabetes before TB can be contained, says Dr Anthony D Harries, senior advisor, International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD, The Union).
Research at the University of Texas School of Public Health Brownsville shows that type 2 diabetesdefine, especially when it involves chronic high blood sugar, is associated with altered immune response to TB. Patients with diabetes and TB take longer to respond to anti-TB treatment, and that patients with active tuberculosis and type-2 diabetes are more likely to have multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB). Almost six percent of people with diabetes had MDR-TB, reported this study. 30 percent of those with MDR-TB also had type 2 diabetes.

We’re not just saying it. We mean it. We hope that in 2009, all of you are healthier than ever and humanity is free of sickness and diseases. That, of course, sounds like wishful thinking in contemporary times what with all the diabetes and obesities, and cancers and TBs busy doing their thing like never before. But then, there’s always Santa nearby this time of the year, astride his sleigh firing on all eight cylinders.
I know someone who is anorexic and she always throw up after meals. she is anorexic for almost 2 years now and stopped eating. We made her eat again but she started purging...but we still made her eat; Yesterday she threw up again and there was a blood in it. Now, she don't want to eat again for fear of throwing up with a blood. What can we do to help her?

It is virtually a dream come true. Forget you have been told about coffee being bad for you. Themedguru now knows and science confirms that coffee is not just good for you, it’s practically a miracle drink.
Ever imagined, what it would be like to lead a disease free life and be a part of a world where every body is hale and hearty? Well, it may sound utopian right now but with researches on stem cells on full swing, a few years down the line, it is a definite possibility.
On Oct. 16, 2006, Carron Morrow, from Alabama was successfully cured through a pioneering study in which stem cells were used to regenerate her failing heart. Not long after the surgery, Morrow began to feel like the same old energetic person. "I knew within two months something was going on," Morrow said. "I could sing a whole song at church." She soon got back to her job, and subsequent tests confirmed that her heart was functioning normally once again.
Dr. Mikao Usui, in the year 1922, founded a system of natural healing that was not based on any religion but, was meant for a person’s holistic cleansing and healing. This, he named REIKI.
The term ‘holistic healing’ refers to the cure of not just the person’s body, but also his emotions, mind and spirit. The Japanese word ‘reiki’ is made up of two words – Rei, meaning ‘God’s wisdom’ or ‘Higher Power’ and Ki, meaning ‘Universal Life Force Energy’.
