Causes and Treatment of Cat allergies
Posted by GuestPoster in Animal Lovers on June 30th, 2010
Cat allergies are caused by hypersensitivity to cats. The glycoprotein which exists in a cat’s dander, fur, and saliva is causing your allergic reactions. The allergic reaction to cats secretes histamine leading to signs like cough, nasal blockage, dyspnea, rash, runny nose or eyes, and sternutation.
A glycoprotein called Fel d1 is cat allergy’s allergen. It is very small which makes it diffuse effortlessly. This allergen can be everywhere.
A dog’s saliva proteins and fur causes our allergies towards them. The common symptoms that we can get from dog allergy are similar to cat hypersensitivity which is characterized by itching, coughing, rashes, nasal congestion, sneezing and watery eyes.
To prevent such symptoms you must always minimize your exposure to dogs and cats. If you just held a cat never forget to wash your hands first before touching your eyes. Have lesser drapes, carpets and other fabric furniture where cat allergens could stay. Have an air filter and vacuum cleaner that has an air hepa filtrate material, very efficient in filtering furs and dust triggering allergy.
Never forget to brush and bath your cat regularly to reduce high allergen concentration. If you are allergic to them, then avoid breathing in and out your nose when you are in front of such pets.
Bromeline, Quercetin, and Arsenicum album or iodatum are common medications for dog and cat allergy. So that your medications will have better effect it is advised to change your diet fit to your type of blood.

Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Golfer’s Elbow
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness on June 27th, 2010
Golfer’s elbow is an injury of the inside part of the elbow. In the medical community, it is known as medial epicondylitis. It is often seen amongst golf players which is why it is termed that way; however, other people who repeatedly grips objects tightly and lift heavy things without properly positioning the arm are also likely candidates to this troubling arm disorder.
This condition is a form of tendon injury (tendonitis), the same as that of tennis elbow. Both said arm conditions are considered overuse injuries and the only thing that separates the two from each other is the source of damage and of course, the location of pain. Such pain will be experienced on the inside part of the elbow (medial) if it is golfer’s elbow, on the other hand, pain will be felt on the outside (lateral) part of the elbow if it is tennis elbow.
The causes of golfer’s elbow;
- Abusive use of the flexor muscles located on the forearm
- Lack of muscle strength
- Lack of muscle flexibility
- Extended gripping actions
- Direct blow
The symptoms of golfer’s elbow;
- Soreness and tenderness along the medial epicondyle
- Stinging pain whenever you try lifting things with your palm faced down
- Forearm pain
- Outer region forearm and arm pain
- Tightness of the arm, forearm and wrist muscles
- Trouble moving the hand and/or elbow
- Weakened grip
- Inflammation
Treatments for golfer’s elbow;
- The application of both ice and heat along the elbow
- Wrapping elastic bandage on the elbow or wearing a forearm strap
- Physiotherapy treatments such as ultrasound, heat therapy or electrical stimulation
- Over the counter medications
- Gently massaging the affected area

- surgery for medial epicondylitis referred to as medial epicondyle release
Take note that all of these are also effective tennis elbow treatment options since tennis elbow as well is a form of tendonitis.

Body Cleansing a Way to Get Rid of Illnesses
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness on June 26th, 2010
Illness can put a person into a more stressful state because your mind tends to focus on it. Illnesses may be caused by toxins in your body. You accumulate these toxins from the food you eat and drink, from the environment, and from the everyday stress in life. Bonuses we get from toxins can range from very simple constipation to serious incidences of organ disease. The good news is that a lot of illness can be avoided by undergoing a body cleansing program like the lemonade diet every so often. This type of cleansing can remove toxins from the body through a process that lasts from 7 to 10 days. There are programs that can be bought from the Internet but they are usually very expensive. If you do not want to shell out a single extra cent then begin to eat a high fiber diet.
High-fiber diet involves eating vegetables, whole grain cereals, brown rice, and fresh fruits. I found a lot of free cleansing programs over the Internet as well as high-fiber recipes. It is better, if you can find fruits and vegetables that are organic. This is because it is hard to remove the pesticides and other chemicals used to grow the plants simply by washing the vegetables or fruit because many of the chemicals have become ingrained.
Nowadays, it is common for supermarkets to have a line of organic fruits and vegetables. Many countries worldwide are now encouraging organic farming because of their health benefits and especially since organic foodstuffs can attract a premium price.
In addition to a high-fiber diet, you also need to drink lots of water to hydrate your body. Water helps metabolizes our body which in turn burns stored fat faster which may lead to weight loss. You can also drink lots of fresh juices but make sure they are not from concentrates because you will add up toxins in your body instead of flushing them out.
Eating right and drinking enough water is not enough. You also need to do adequate exercise like running, brisk walking, or get involve in sports like badminton, basketball, and swimming. These activities can restore energy to your body and help relieve stress. You can also do yoga because it helps in improving concentration and helps your mind to focus on positive thoughts.
Combining high-fiber diet, plenty of water, and regular exercise can help flush toxins in your body. After the cleansing program, you need to do a lifestyle check. If you drink alcohol, use cigarettes, or eat food that are not healthy then you need to change these ways. By doing so, you lessen the chances of incurring diseases and the need to do body cleansing.
Before you start a body cleansing program, you need to consult your doctor if you are capable of performing such regimen. Not all people can do cleansing because it involves fasting and diet that focuses on removing toxins. So if you have health condition or health problems it is wise to let your doctor know that you will undergo such program.
