FAINTING SPELL TREATING IT THE RIGHT WAY

FAINTING SPELLS
Fainting is a feeling of light-headedness and dizziness.

First Aid
1. Lower the head between the knees, if the patient is still on a chair.
2. Or let him lie flat with the head lower than the feet. This is done to draw blood to the head.
3. Check pulse and respiration to see if breathing and pulse is strong. If breathing is rapid and pulse is strong, get a paper or plastic bag, big enough to cover the face. Hold the bag over the nose and mouth and let the patient breathe in and out slowly in the big bag for a few minutes. If he does not recover after 15-20 minutes, bring the patient to the nearest hospital or medical clinic for medical attention.
4. if the patient is not breathing and pulse cannot be felt, prepare to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Have someone to call a doctor or get ready to transport the patient to the nearest hospital for immediate treatment. If someone is able to do CPR, give CPR while the patient is being transported to the hospital. Stop only when the patient’s pulse becomes palpable and he is already breathing.
5. Check if the patient is diabetic or not. Ask the family of the patient.

Herbal Medication
1. Atis or Sweet Sop Leaves. If the patient is breathing and pulse is strong, crush atis or Sweet Sop leaves. Let the patient smell the aroma of the juice. Put it over the nose for him to smell it. Let him smell it until dizziness or fainting spell is out.
2. Bayabas or Guava leaves. Crush the bayabas or Guava leaves. Let the patient smell the aroma instructing him to take deep breathes. Put the crushed leaves over his nose for him to smell the essence of the leaves.

HEALTHY DIET CAN PREVENT UNWANTED CANCER

It is often said that the most important ingredient in the Mediterranean diet is extra virgin olive oil. However, some would argue that. Most of the notoriety of the Mediterranean diet is due to research unlike other high profile diets which have normally received their promotional thrust through commercial vehicles. The facts remain that hardly anyone would take any notice of the Mediterranean diet except for the highly satisfactory findings that have resulted from universities and food research foundations across the globe.

The reason I mentioned extra virgin olive oil first up is because it's always present in any of the many countries who are labeled with using the diet. You would think that this would make the diet high in fat. The calorie intake from the Mediterranean diet that comes from fat is over 30%. However, all the fat is 100% unsaturated fat and is a product of olive oil. This means (in general) that the fat that comes from extra virgin olive oil is a healthy type of fat.

From another angle, it means that the fat from olives does not trigger unhealthy consequences which are said to come from animal fat. This is also supported by several scientific studies in the USA and Europe in the last decade which indicate that extra virgin olive oil and a diet high in fruits and vegetables can work to lower the incidence of breast cancer in women.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil differs to day-to-day olive oil in that extra virgin olive oil comes from the first crush. Thereby retaining many of the nutrients. If you decide to work with the Mediterranean diet, you would be wise to shop only for extra virgin olive oil and make that a discipline.

The lettuces that are being harvested in the garden taste great. To have a healthy living, eat only organically grown vegetables.

CANCER, IS THERE A CURE?

I would be honest to all. There is no absolute cure for cancer at this very moment. The present medical solution for cancer patients is to undergo operation or radiation. Actually these medical operations cannot eliminate the cancer cells from generating. These operations might slow down the growth of cancer cells but not eliminating them from the patient's body.

There are cases that the patient diagnosed with cancer was cured. The early detection of the cancer might be helpful but still there is no cure of it. The medical field is still on the process of researching the cure for cancer.

As they say prevention is better than cure. That statement is absolutely correct. People sometimes tend to abuse their body. Let us take for example lung cancer. Lung Cancer is caused by smoking. It is the main cause of this type of cancer and is considered one of the most deadly disease. Eliminating the habit of smoking removes the person from the candidates of lung cancer patients.
