Strokes – Symptoms and Therapy
Jan 7th
The freestyle swimming stroke was thought to have originated in Australia which is partially true. The stroke used to be called the “Australian Crawl” because competitive swimmers from Australia were winning events with this stroke. It is said the freestyle was originally from the pacific islands possibly the Solomon’s.
There is a story which is probably true about a boy from the Solomon Islands who went to work in Australia in the 1800′s. He used to swim in one of the local pools using this stroke and someone pointed out that it looked like he was crawling. A swim coach took the basics of this stroke and refined it to what is the freestyle of today. The Australians were winning races with this stroke and the world took notice.
Stroke Symptoms
A stroke is characterized by significant disruption of the blood flow to the brain which may lead to a decrease in the incoming blood supply. When this happens the brain tissue will be deprived of oxygen and the necessary nutrients. After short while, brain cells will be progressively killed. It is therefore a medical emergency that requires immediate assessment and treatment to improve the chances of recovery. When early treatment is implemented the impairment to the brain is drastically decreased and any other complications that may occur can be avoided.
Fortunately, strokes can be adequately treated. In recent times, far less people will die from experiencing a stroke. This may be related to a better understanding of why strokes may materialize in the first place. Factors like high blood pressure, smoking and high cholesterol when controlled will dramatically decrease the chances of developing a stroke. Consequently with this knowledge most individuals are able to lower their individual risk which in turn lessens the total number of strokes that may occur.
Aside from that there are some things you can do to help prevent stroke. If you have had heart problems your doctor may prescribe blood thinners such as coumadin or aspirin to help prevent blood clotting. Low dose aspirin is prescribed for many who have had a heart attack. This is a dose of 325mg per day of aspirin or less. This is often sufficient to help greatly in preventing blood clots and stroke. Appropriate aerobic exercise for your state of health is very important. Your doctor can suggest a suitable program.
A recently published medical report which reviewed nine studies including nearly 200,000 people determined that drinking three cups of black or green tea per day reduced stroke risk by 21 percent. drinking six cups per day reduced stroke risk by yet another 21 percent.
Stroke, which commonly refers to hemiplegia, can cause weakness or paralysis on one side of the body. Impaired sensation and muscular co-ordination, speech and language problems, impaired control over bladder and bowel, emotional labiality and cognitive defects are the common after effects of stroke. Stroke rehabilitation is very important in order to enable the affected person to achieve self-sufficiency to the maximum extent possible.
People who have had a stroke are at an increased risk of having another stroke, especially within one year. It is important to continue medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. Smoking and alcohol should be stopped completely. The Ayurvedic treatment for the rehabilitation of stroke patients is aimed at speeding up the recovery process and reducing long term disability. Treatment during the acute paralytic stage is best done in a hospital. Once the patient has been discharged from hospital, Ayurvedic treatment should be initiated at the earliest, in order to derive maximum benefit.

Treating Panic Attacks With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Jan 3rd
Prescription meds are great for alleviating the pain, in many situations. They are a quick fix for many of our problems. But when we are dealing with panic attacks, drugs are not the best solution. Drugs are only a short term treatment.
The real treatment consists of a mix between drugs, will and natural cures. Drugs have many side effects and the natural cures don’t. Some side effects include: sedation, nausea, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nervousness and irritability, and also some withdrawal syndromes.
So you need to look for more natural treatments for your problems. There have been many tests proving great results for treating panic disorder and panic attacks. Even when the doctor prescribes synthetic drugs, he usually cuts down the dosage and then switches the patient on natural therapeutic treatments. The cognitive-behavioral therapy is also a recommended treatment.
You should know that without drugs, almost 65% of people have achieved great results and they managed to get rid of panic disorder and agoraphobia. But it is true that at the beginning, it is best to combine the drugs with the natural therapy. In 1993 some studies were conducted on many patients with panic disorder. Anti-anxiety drugs like Alprazolam and behavioral therapy were combined.
75% of the people included in the study group had no more panic attacks after that. The success rate on long term was much better for the group that had natural therapy rather for the other who used only synthetically drugs.
CBT – cognitive behavioral therapy – combines cognitive restructuring techniques with some behavioral modification techniques. This means it is trying to understand the source of the panic attacks and then work from the bottom. The main tools that CBT uses are:
- teach the victims to recognize and then monitor the symptoms when the attack happens
- educate the patients about how the process works
- train the patient in relaxation and breathing techniques
- restructure the mental response of the patients
- expose the patients to different controlled conditions associated with the panic attacks
CBT needs an active involvement by a trained counselor or therapist. It is not as easy as taking a pill but has more efficient results. It can take 12 to 15 weeks till the first results start to appear. But these results are on long term. Many methods, others than CBT, have also been suggested. These methods include: acupuncture, hypnosis, energy therapy, laughter therapy, talk therapy, and also tapping.
Hydrotherapy The Perfect Alternative Health Therapy
Jan 2nd
Colon hydrotherapy is an alternative health therapy used to restore and maintain optimum health. It is safer than home enemas and most reputable therapists use state-of-the-art equipment allowing the treatment to be professionally administered usually by a certified colon therapist. Prior to the therapy you may be asked to eat light meals as well as possibly being asked to take an enema.
During the colon hydrotherapy, you’ll be required to lie on your stomach while the practitioner gently inserts a speculum (a small rigid tube) into your rectal canal. A plastic hose is attached to the speculum which in turn connects to a colon irrigation machine. Colonic hydrotherapy is becoming an increasingly widely used home treatment these days. But before you undergo this treatment you should have a good idea about exactly what colonic hydrotherapy is and the benefits it can bring you by making your digestive system work properly.
There are a few times when you definitely shouldn’t use this treatment. Colon hydrotherapy is not advised during pregnancy, particularly the first and third trimesters. The reason? It activates the colon which has the effect of stimulating other organs in the body. There is also a chance that toxins can be released into the blood which could in turn pass to the placenta. The only time a colonic might be considered during pregnancy is if you are severely constipated. In this case a treatment can give much needed relief.
Many people ask if they need to see their doctor before a colonic. If you have a health issue that you would like to inform your doctor about before a colonic treatment then go ahead but a medical examination beforehand is not necessary. If you have been diagnosed with rectal or intestinal tumours, diverticulitis, chron’s disease, ulcerative colitis, acute liver failure, severe haemorrhoids or anal fissures, an abdominal hernia, an aneurysm or lupus or severe anaemia then colonic hydrotherapy is not recommended.
Another common question asked by many is whether there is any chance of cross contamination from the equipment used. There have been a very small number of cases of cross contamination but it’s rarely an issue. You should always check that your therapist uses pre-sterilised disposable hoses and tubing. The rectal tubes should be individually wrapped in sealed packaging which you should see being opened in front of you. Professionals will always take the utmost care and operate to a high level of hygiene at all times.
