NATURAL CURES & HOME REMEDY BEST HEALTH GUIDE


1. Natural cures for Overcoming Depression!
Everyone goes through rough times where we feel sad or down in the dumps. Actually, it’s pretty normal to feel that way on occasion.

2. How To Reduce Stress At Work & At Home
Did you know that 90% of doctor visits are for stress related symptoms? Stress bombards us every day from all directions. Maybe it’s sitting in the midst of highway gridlock when you are already late for an important appointment.

3. How To Get A Good Nights’ Sleep – natural sleep aid tips
It is commonplace for several people to suffer at least an occasional night of almost non-existent sleep. The causes of insomnia differ from person to person.

What made a student insomniac varies from what caused a shift worker or a traveler or an employee to acquire such sleeping disorder.

4. Lowering Your Cholesterol natural cures & home remedies
In 2002 it was estimated that 107 million American adults now have a blood cholesterol level high enough to require medical advice.

In this guide, the Addictive Disorders discussed refer to health matters dealing with both physical and psychological intense desires or cravings for substances or behaviors that grow into dependency.

Millions of people suffer embarrassment due to bad breath. The technical name for bad breath is "halitosis." Take a walk down the personal care aisle of any drug or grocery Store and you will find product after product all dealing with this condition.

Before we can discuss how to get rid of bad breath, we need to have an understanding of the causes and symptoms.

7. The Men’s Guide To Prostate Health
There was a time in history when there was no awareness of the prostate, let alone diagnosis and treatment. Countless numbers of men throughout the ages have suffered and died as a result of this ignorance.

Through the miracles of modern medicine, today prostate disease is well defined and is no longer necessarily considered a death sentence.

8. Ways To Reduce And Burn Calories
If you struggle with weight gain it’s a good bet that you have tried at least one of the “fad” diets that crop up on a regular basis.

The truth is that some of these diets may grant you temporary weight loss. In the usual case, however, the weight returns as soon as you stray from the diet.

9. How to Ease Your Allergies!
There is no clear apparent medical reason why people contract allergies, but one thing remains clear: the condition is indiscriminate in its coverage and may affect us regardless of age, gender, or race.

Commonly, however, the allergy manifests in our infancy or childhood, although some symptoms may appear at any age or may reappear after any period of apparent inactivity.

An Epic Undertaking: Why a Personalized Health Record will Change the World


Within five years, you will use an on-line health record. With the online record, you will schedule appointments, trade messages with your doctor and get prescription refills.

And that’s just the beginning. Having a robust, integrated on-line health record will cause more change in healthcare than any other single development in the past 50 years. It will open the door for widespread use of mobile health apps, telemedicine, and developments that we can’t even imagine yet.

Making this sea of change happen is a counterculture software company, called Epic, that most people outside of healthcare have never heard of. The change that Apple’s products started in the recording and publishing industries, Epic’s myChart will start in healthcare.

Sure, there are other personalized electronic health records (EHRs) now. But, what currently stands for a personalized EHR has made very little impact in how care is delivered.

For there to be real change, an EHR needs to connect the information from everywhere you get care. Also, doctors need to embrace using this on-line tool as a way to interact with patients.

The reason that personalized EHRs haven’t caught on yet is that users have to input most of the data (think of Quicken in its early days) and most doctors are understandably worried that too many of their patients will want to become on-line pen pals.

Online Health Information Technology Courses


This is one profession that allows you to enter the healthcare field, with minimal education. Typically, all that is required in order to become a health information technologist is an Associate’s Degree. This is one of the few healthcare fields that do not put you in direct contact with patients, in most cases.

Health information technologists essentially combine health information for patients. That information is gathered from doctors, information that the patient gives, laboratories, and other health professionals. It is extremely important that the health information technologist have an eye for detail and be willing to double check facts, as a patient’s health history and health information is vital to their overall healthcare now and in the future.

Health information technologists work in doctor’s offices, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, home health care agencies, insurance companies, and a variety of other settings where healthcare and health records are important to the care of patients. Many of these professionals also work for federal and state government agencies. The information is gathered and essentially sent to the professional in bits and pieces, where it is compiled with the help of a computer program.

Data entry skills are essential, but it takes more than data entry skills to be employable and successful in this career. You must also know medical terminology, and you must receive certification, or Registered Health Information Technicians Credentials (RHIT).

Because this is a healthcare field that does not require direct contact with or treatment of patients, the education that is required can be obtained in an online environment, through a wide range of accredited online schools, or traditional schools that offer online or distance education. Classroom attendance really isn’t necessary, and this typically lowers the cost of the education significantly.

The salary for health information technologists ranges from $30,000 annually up to about $50,000 annually, and this is usually dependent on the demand for these services where the person lives, although the amount of education the professional has received will also have an impact on salary.

Study: Breastfed Babies Have Better Childhood Lung Function


New moms with asthma can safely breastfeed without worrying that the practice will increase their child’s asthma risk, a new study shows.

Researchers followed children in the United Kingdom from birth until around age 12 to assess the impact of breastfeeding, if any, on lung development.

They found that kids who were breastfed as babies had modestly better lung function than those who were not -- and breastfeeding seemed to convey the most protection to children whose mothers had asthma.

Welcome to Get Health Care Online Resource Guide

Health is the general condition of a person in all aspects. It is also a level of functional and/or metabolic efficiency of an organism, often implicitly human.

At the time of the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 1948, health was defined as being "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".

Only a handful of publications have focused specifically on the definition of health and its evolution in the first 6 decades. Some of them highlight its lack of operational value and the problem created by use of the word "complete." Others declare the definition, which has not been modified since 1948, "simply a bad one."

In 1986, the WHO, in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, said that health is "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities." Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC), which is composed of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) also define health.

Overall health is achieved through a combination of physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being, which, together is commonly referred to as the Health Triangle.

Swine Flu,Influenza A(H1N1) virus


As of 17 January 2010, worldwide more than 209 countries and overseas territories or communities have reported laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009, including at least 14142 deaths.

The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has informed WHO of a mutation detected in three H1N1 viruses. The viruses were isolated from the first two fatal cases of pandemic influenza in the country and one patient with severe illness.

To gather information about the clinical features and management of pandemic influenza, WHO hosted a three-day meeting at the headquarters of the Pan American Health Organization in Washington, DC on 14–16 October. Findings and experiences were presented by around 100 clinicians, scientists, and public health professionals from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Oceania.

WHO: Swine flu 'is unstoppable'

Growing international experience in the treatment of pandemic H1N1 virus infections underscores the importance of early treatment with the antiviral drugs, oseltamivir or zanamivir. Early treatment is especially important for patients who are at increased risk of developing complications, those who present with severe illness or those with worsening signs and symptoms.

The need for health care products. As we all know the economy is in real bad shape these days, and is not improving any time soon. With more and more people losing their jobs, and health benefits, people are using the internet for their health needs. Take a look online and search for health care you will find millions and millions of sites, this will show you how much in demand for this type of business is. Would you not like to jump in and share the profits. People take their health very seriously these days, and would it not be gratifying to help these people out and make money at the same time.
Total automation. Choose a business that is totally automated, this means that the web site is all set up for you.

You don’t have to have an automated business if you know how to do it yourself, but if you are new to this type of business, I would not recommend it.
Residual income. This is the best part. Once your business is in place, you can start advertising your site. Tell your family and friend, coworkers ect. Once people start buying you products chances are they will keep coming back for more, and they will tell their friends, and their friends will tell their friends and so on.

FORT MYERS — James Stewart knows modern medicine saved his life but he also points to a spiritual element.

"I feel I've been divinely blessed by the scientists who developed this procedure," the 82-year-old said.

Stewart became the second patient in Southwest Florida to undergo an aortic heart valve replacement without having invasive open-heart surgery.

Instead, the artificial value is delivered in a catheter through the femoral artery in the groin and maneuvered to the site of the diseased valve.

A team of cardiac specialists started doing the procedure, technically called transcatheter aortic valve replacement, in December at Lee Memorial's HealthPark Medical Center, south of Fort Myers.

A handful of patients who are too fragile for open-heart surgery have been treated so far.

The catheter-based approach for valve replacement will be a game-changer for people with severe aortic stenosis, caused by the buildup of calcium, said Dr. Brian Hummel, a cardiothoracic surgeon with Gulf Coast Cardiothoracic Surgeons in Lee and Collier counties.

It means patients who are inoperable and with limited life expectancy have an option that didn't exist for them before.

It is only approved, for now, for patients who are too high-risk for open-heart surgery, so most candidates are in their 80s or 90s. That's expected to change with newer generation catheter-delivered valves and more studies.

"I think it will become widely available," Hummel said. "I'm not sure it will truly supplant open heart. It's done all over Europe. (Our team) has been training for over a year."
