The Benefit of Sambiloto ( Bitter) for People Living with HIV/AIDS

(Andrographis paniculata). Because it implies merit increase endurance, bitter believed to be able to prevent HIV / AIDS. A company in the United States has patented this plant. In Indonesia, the plant is scattered everywhere. Consider the following:

Bitter included in Acanthaceae familia or tribe. Plants that this bitter leaves and stems can grow at an altitude of 700 m above sea level. This plant is often found in the yard of the house.

Bitter substances have the typical form of andrographolide. "Andrographolide substance does not exist in other plants" said Ir. Winarto, owner Karyasari medicinal plant garden. Besides andrographolide this plant also has panicolin substances. "So based on two elements of the Sambiloto substance named andrographis paniculata" said Winarto again.

Andrographolide and panicolin it is specific. Its main function is actually to increase endurance. So in the United States, bitter as the patented AIDS drugs.

Making a plant into a drug is not easy. As it relates to marketing and public trust. When we talk about clinical trials, most of all made overseas. In addition to the cost is large, there are many energy experts. Therefore foreign companies dare patented Sambiloto as drugs to increase endurance.

Most traditional medicine in Java, bitter drunk as an ingredient for treating various diseases because he is an antibiotic. Materials are usually taken is the stem or leaves. "Because this plant annuals old. The leaves and stems can be removed at once and boil all "added Winarto again.

How: 10 grams of dried leaves were given 4 cups of water and boil until the water remaining 2 cups. How often we drink boiled Sambiloto depending on the state of our bodies. When suffering from a serious illness, it can drink more potions. For cases very effective insect bites Sambiloto. Slightly crushed and then applied to the skin that is exposed to the bites, itching in the skin will quickly disappear.

But, "Because it tastes bitter, for the prevention of disease could just processed Sambiloto drink 1/2 cup a day, do not need to 2 cups. Or if you do not like the bitter taste, you can swallow the Sambiloto herb in capsule form. The trick, just enter the powder of dried bitter leaf into capsules. But for people who are exposed to low blood pressure, drinking Sambiloto processed instead will increase blood pressure into the drop, "said Winarto warned. Be careful you have low blood pressure.

Is There a Cure for Skin Cancer?

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in humans, and it affects millions of people across the globe every year. This cancer is caused by over-exposure to the sun, radiation, carcinogens, and aging. There are three types: basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. All three pose a serious risk to your health, but melanoma is the most dangerous. Skin cancer is relatively easy to detect because it comes in the form of skin discoloration and abnormally colored or shaped moles; indeed, most skin cancer victims discover their condition on their own just by examining their skin (however, a diagnosis can only be made by a doctor).

Since many people are desperate to maintain their golden brown tans year in and year out, skin cancer remains a potent threat to public health because most people are not willing to take the link between sun exposure and UV rays and the development of skin cancer seriously-tanning is in and trendy, and people don't like going against the aesthetic curve. However, being an avid sun bather does not automatically lead to skin cancer, and it isn't the only cause. Skin cancer can also be caused by damaging free radicals from carcinogens and the unavoidable effects of ageing. Still, the best method of avoidance is to stay out of the sun or use only a strong sunscreen when out in the sun. Keep in mind that the decreasing ozone layer makes it more and more dangerous to soak up UV rays on the beach.

As with all forms of cancer, everyone wants to know: Is there a cure for skin cancer? Last year, a study conducted in the UK by researchers from Rush University Medical School in Chicago showed that a vaccine developed was able to completely cure 16% of those who used it and who were infected with advanced melanoma; for the rest of the group, the vaccine greatly improved the user's chance of remission. This does not definitively prove that skin cancer can always be cured, but it makes curing it an option. In addition to pharmaceutical cancers medication, there are many topical ointments that have been shown to relieve skins cancer. Cymilium, an over the counter insect bite remedy, has been shown to improve it's symptoms, and a variety of natural remedies such as aloe vera and vitamin D are also used. If you have skin cancer, any course of treatment you undertake should be at least discussed if not approved by a doctor, but whether you are interested in natural medicine or pharmaceutical-driven medicine, the chances of completely curing your cancer are slim, so in that sense, both sides of the medical aisle are worth a try.

Cell Phones and Brain Cancer: Is There a Link?

With the recent announcement by WHO (world health organisation) about the potential dangers of cell phone radiation, we are all naturally concerned, especially those of us who use cell phones regularly and/or who have kids with cell phones. What is safe, we wonder, in terms of use, cell phone type and exposure? Are some cell phones safer than others, and are there ways in which we can limit the dangers by changing our usage patterns?

While the answers are still coming in, there are things we can do to help protect ourselves. These tips come from a variety of sources, including a brain scientist who has recovered from brain cancer (Dr. David Servan-Schreiber - if you have not yet read his book, Anticancer, A New Way of Life go get it! It's an excellent read for anyone wishing to prevent cancer, or already dealing with the health challenges cancer presents). Simultaneously, we are all terrified of cancer but somehow in denial that it will ever touch us personally. It's time we look clearly at the rampart cancer rates of the last decade and take as many steps as we can personally to protect our health.

When it comes to this health issue, we are all exposed to radiation in varying degrees, even those of us who do not have a cell phone. In North America, unless you live in the remote wilds and are completely off the grid, you're likely affected, even if from cell towers and criss-crossing signals in the air. Experts are telling us that cordless phones pose similar risks, and it s only as more studies come to completion that the alarming statistics are becoming available. Nonetheless, mobile phones and smart phones are here to stay, so let's do what we can given that reality.

For one thing, most mobile phone manufacturers now offer a protection rating on their phones, as consumers become increasingly aware and concerned. Ask your provider about your specific phone and be sure to check the rating of any phone you buy. Other tips include using a headset rather than putting the phone directly to your ear when talking, and leaving the phone away from your wear until someone answers; according to experts the signal is stronger when the phone is ringing, before it connects. The signal is also stronger when you are between cell towers, so if the connection is bad hang up and try later when it's safer. For children and teens with developing brains, limit cell phone use and if anything, encourage texting over speaking (who ever thought anyone would say that?).

Shauna writes about cell phone safety at her cell phones students website. You can also find out more about brain health at her health and vitamin site. Take your own health seriously and be your own health advocate, so you can live the best life possible and have the vitality to achieve your dreams!
