Vitamin D sure is in the news a lot lately. In fact, a recent statistic showed that up to 80 percent of American adults are deficient in vitamin D! That’s a startling fact, especially considering all of the health benefits vitamin D can have, from keeping your heart healthy to staving off dementia and cancer. Now, a new study has shown that there’s an asthma-vitamin D connection – especially if you’re a mom-to-be. Let’s take a look at this recent discovery.

An insufficiency of Vitamin D may be linked to the severity of asthma symptoms in children, according to a new study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. According to the study, a higher intake of vitamin D by pregnant women can reduce the risk of asthma in children as much as 40 percent.

Pregnant women who were vitamin D deficient had more of a chance of having a child who suffered from asthma and other allergies, according to the studies. The study was the first performed on children and the link to vitamin D concerning asthma. Continue reading ‘Skin Cancer – Breathe Right – The Surprising Link Between Asthma and Vitamin D’ »

Antibiotic-Resistant Disease Killing Humans and Swine

The antibiotic-resistant bacteria Extended
Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) is killing both
people and swine in Denmark.

The bacteria has been implicated in the deaths
of a number of cancer and liver disease
patients. The number of infected patients
jumped 50 percent last year.

Health officials said the bacteria is being
transmitted to humans through pigs. The
increased use of antibiotics in agriculture may
be behind the spread of the resistant strain.

What are ESBLs?

Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) are
actually enzymes produced by certain types of
bacteria, which renders the bacteria resistant
to the antibiotics commonly used to treat them.

ESBLs were first discovered in the mid-1980s. At
the time they were mostly found in the
Klebsiella species of bacteria, in hospital
intensive care units. Until recently, few people
were affected by these mutated bacteria and it
didn’t appear to be a major growing concern. Continue reading ‘Antibiotic-Resistant Disease Killing Humans and Swine’ »

People saved from the brink of death by the one-minute cure…

Sir / Madam

I want to tell you something *startling* that you
may not know about.

Dr. Lance Moriarty, the Director of a medical
clinic in Nairobi, Kenya (where 1 out of every 8
people is infected with AIDS or HIV), reported
that “Some patients have literally been dragged
back from the brink of death” from the use of the
natural oxygenating substance revealed in “The
One-Minute Cure.”

The one-minute cure was given to 50 patients who
came to the clinic suffering from AIDS or the HIV
virus.  Thirty of them went into immediate
remission and the rest reported an increase in
energy and a sense of well-being.

This success rate is *unheard of* in the
medical and pharmaceutical world where AIDS is
still considered incurable!  Dr. Moriarty went on
to say that whenever the one-minute cure is
administered into the community, “People come back
to life. It blows my mind!” Continue reading ‘People saved from the brink of death by the one-minute cure’ »

Asthma affects all races and all ages, and it is the most common chronic childhood illness. Asthma in child is most likely to occur before age five. Young children are especially open to attack because their lungs are still developing. It can develop as early as infancy, although most childhood asthma appears between ages 2 and 5, which is when antibodies to inhalant allergens increase in a child’s body. Among adults, asthma usually appears for the first time between the ages of 30 and 39. About 10 percent of new cases occur in people ages 65 and older.

Childhood asthma affects boys more than girls around the age of 12; however, girls with asthma begin to outnumber boys after they experience their first menstrual periods. Many think that hormones may be another asthma trigger.

KILL  THE  CANCER  RIGHT  AWAY

Dear Friend

Disease knows no boundaries.  It doesn’t discriminate
and it isn’t bigoted.

Cancer, for instance, strikes anyone of any age,
and of any race or social background.  Cancer will
find you whether you lead a healthy or unhealthy
lifestyle; whether you’re physically fit or out of
shape; whether you exercise regularly or are a
couch potato; whether you’re rich or poor, male or
female; whether you’re a vegetarian, pescetarian
or meat lover; and whether you’re an adult,
adolescent or child.

DID YOU KNOW… that 1 out of every 3 adults in
America already has cancer?  But most of them
don’t know it yet because the cancer is
undiagnosed and undetected.  According to the
American Cancer Society, there’s a 41% probability
that an individual, male or female, will develop
cancer in his or her lifetime (or die from it).
Additionally, every human being has cancer cells
existing in the body which are just seeking a
low-oxygen environment where they can multiply
into the full-blown disease. Continue reading ‘Kill The Cancer Right Away’ »

The rapid increase in obesity across the country has resulted in a number of serious health problems. Many of these health problems can deteriorate a persons quality of life and even shorten a persons life. One such health condition that is made worse when obese is asthma. Studies are now showing that there is a link between asthma and morbid obesity. For people who are suffering from severe obesity, lap band surgery has been shown to be an effective method of weight loss that reduces instances of severe asthma attacks.

Obesity has been proven to be a risk factor for such diseases as heart disease, some types of cancer, and diabetes. Now, research studies are revealing that obesity is a risk factor for asthma. For instance, studies now show the risk for developing asthma increases when there is a large increase in weight. When a person is seriously overweight, their breathing becomes shallow because their lungs do not expand as much as it would if one were a normal healthy weight. As well, in obese individuals, there is a chronic inflammation of the lungs which reduces the airway passage. The inflammation takes place in the fatty tissue. A narrower airway passage also means the airways will remain blocked when breathing normally which reduces oxygen exchange. The airways will contract more causing more asthma symptoms. Narrow airways in obese asthmatics are more likely to stay closed during normal breathing which results in reduced oxygen exchange which puts one in a higher risk category for pulmonary hypertension. As well, obese people are more prone to sleep apnea and gastroesophageal reflux disease which can make asthma worse. Continue reading ‘Is Lap Band Surgery Good For Severe Asthmatics?’ »

Asthma, being a chronic disease of the respiratory system, can manifest at any point in a person’s life. Anyone can have it during their childhood, teenage years, young adulthood, and even at their senior years, which is why it is really important for everyone to learn more about the illness, so you can better cope with it once it hits you.

However, asthma symptoms in older people can be quite hard to detect. This is because as most adults tend to develop a good number of other ailments, the common symptoms, like shortness of breath and chest pains, can easily just be attributed to another disease. Also, the lack of knowledge of some that asthma can be developed at any age also makes quick diagnosis of adult asthma barely possible.
