DEALING WITH ASTHMA IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

DEALING WITH ASTHMA IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems and symptoms such as breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness and coughing. The symptoms vary over time and also differ in severity from one individual to another. When it is not effectively treated, asthma often leads to hospitalization, missed work and school, limitation of physical activity, sleepless nights  and in some cases death.

This disease(asthma) was unknown 50 years ago in developing countries because many languages still do not have the words such as “wheeze” or “asthma” in their lexicon. This has added to many challenges facing the diagnosis and management of asthma. Poor healthcare facilities and shortage of healthcare personnel are problems compounded by the urban concentration of these facilities where they exist. This makes the rural and under-resourced communities bear a heavy burden of the mortality and morbidity of the disease.

There are structural barriers to reducing the burden of asthma in developing countries. This includes poverty and inadequate resources, the low priority given to asthma as a public health problem, poor healthcare infrastructure, lack of patient education, difficulties in implementing guidelines developed in weather countries, tobacco, pollution, occupational exposure, poor patient compliance etc. It is about 7.7 million people that have asthma in North Africa, while 13.7 million have it in West Africa.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by bronchial hyper –responsiveness and reversible airways obstruction. Through some studies and research, asthma is now considered a disease of gene-environment interaction with an intricate immunobiology.

The following are asthma triggers:

1.      Exercise

2.      Cigarette smoke

3.      Changes in air temperature

4.      Strong smells

5.      Laughing

6.      Allergens

7.      Parasites

8.      Infections

9.      Chemicals etc.

To deal with asthma, the therapy should focus on lung function parameter. Anti inflammatory therapy in the form of inhaled corticosteroids is one of the interventions.

There should be avoidance of those things that trigger them, use of Jobelyn capsules can greatly help too. Using of inhaler devices prescribed according to the patients’ condition by their doctors.

Special consideration should be given to a pregnant person who is asthmatic as well as elderly patients. Other therapy are oxygen, B-stimulants, mechanical ventilation.

Also there are different inhalation devices and techniques in asthma treatment, they are:-

aerosol delivery, pressurized metered dose inahaler(pMDIs), spacers(Non-valved and valved holding chambers), nebulizers etc.

Finally, there should be Patient Training and Education so that there would be proper adherence to avoid hospitalization.

KIDNEY DISEASE CAN BE TREATED THROUGH ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

KIDNEY DISEASE CAN BE TREATED THROUGH ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

It is the body that heals itself, when necessary conditions are provided, not the doctors or drugs or any outside influence. Therefore, it is very necessary you provide the body all the tools it needs to heal itself and these can be done in proper nourishment of the body that contains all the building blocks of the human cells and organs, that is, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids, among others.

Kidney disease may occur because of toxins in the body and lack of oxygen in the system.

Many people do not eat healthily rather they consume junk food only, and the junk food formed mucus that causes blockages to the flow of oxygen to various parts of the body. This prevents the body from protecting itself from external attacks. Food made of white flour such as bread and cake are mucus forming food that clog the body. The disease brews when oxygen cannot reach some vital organ of the body. Bacteria in the body like an environment where oxygen cannot reach. But when the body is flooded with oxygen, disease are kept away.

Anyone with kidney disease or renal failure has many problems with bacteria and lack of oxygen. Oxygen is one of the principal things the body needs to survive. So when water and blood are clogged because of “murky” environment caused by food, they automatically loose the oxygen. They would not be able to carry the oxygen to all parts of the body.

The first step to nurture the sick to life was to detoxify the body system with herbs

For kidney disease, herbs such as juniper berries and palsey roots are used. Wormwood, barberry and wild yam  is used for liver detoxification. The person going through this treatment may first look worse according to a naturopath, because the herbs would have gone to all nooks and crannies of the body to push out the toxins into the blood stream. The reason is that the body might have been overloaded with toxins. This makes the patient feel groggy and weak. He may be vomiting also, but he should not be alarmed according to a renowned naturopath, because it is the healing process that is taking place.

To make the detoxification effective, the elimination channels, such as the bowels must be opened, that is, the sick must pass out waste products. It should be one meal in and one meal out. If there is no waste coming out it can cause what the naturopath doctor called “auto-detoxification”, which is the back flow of waste products.

Your body should be nourished or fed with all vitamins, minerals and enzymes it needs to repair all the damage.

There is natural remedy for almost all diseases  and sicknesses nowadays due to high and qualities research in science and technology, some diseases or sicknesses which orthodox medicine cannot cure are giving way to some herbs and topical application of a local and alternative bitters formula. It is to be noted that neither drugs nor injection, but the right kinds of foods and drinks brings lasting health, and you need take health matters seriously and to watch what goes into your mouth and stomach because you are what you eat and drink.

Many diseases such as benign prostrate enlargement respond favourably to “small –floweres Willow herb”, antiviral, anti-candida and anti-bacteria herbs in addition to anti-inflammatory the latest of which is orange Peel.

Diabetes should not be a scourge anymore. Sugar burns well and doesn’t accumulate in the blood to cause havoc when certain food factors, including chromium picolinate, vitamins and minerals are present in the diet.

Diabetics are nutrient-deficient for years, they probably subsisted in white flour bread, cow’s milk, sugar, margarine and fried egg for breakfast, simple carbohydrate for launch and trash meals for dinner.

There are many sugar-burning herbs such DIATOM, Fenugreek, bitter melon, turmeric, chanka piedra, orange peel and cinnamon etc.  which your body can utilize in its sugar-balancing mechanism.

Now coming to intestine, there are many problems that can plaque your intestine if care is not taken concerning the kind of food that enters your mouth. One of the problems with intestine is micro-organism, you when your intestine is healthy, you are healthy, it is noted that in a measure of stool, there are between 10 to 100 times more micro-organism in the intestine than there are cells in our bodies. In the average adult human body, there about 100 trillion cells! The micro-organism wish to make a home of our bodies, especially the intestines. Some of these micro-organism are friendly bacteria, no doubt working to inhibit the growth of the dangerous ones. But the dietary life styles of many people support the over population of the dangerous microbial flora. It isn’t surprising therefore that many men are “pregnant” walking the street with protruding abdomen(hope you are not one of them?). There are also, many women who are not bearing babies in their wombs but are merely parading bloated intestines filled with germs and food sludges that would not easily digest or lend themselves to excretion due to constipation.

To make your intestine healthy, you must avoid nutrient-deficient food, drink enough of pure water in a day, avoid constipation by eating the food that are rich in fibre, and take intestine-healthy promoting herbs and supplement.

OBESITY AND DIABETES

I want to talk on obesity and diabetes today, it is a health condition that is prevalent nowadays both to young and old, male and female, rich and poor. I want you to know this fact that anyone that is obese is prone to any kind of disease. That is the reason why you should do something about it if you are obese and not just watching thing going worse. I want to assure you that you can do something about it and make your life better. Now let begin by having some knowledge to ourselves. What is obesity? Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health. And thus leading to a reduce life expectancy hence increases health problems. Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases particularly heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, certain type of cancer, osteoporosis(bone-disease) etc. How do you know that you are OBESE? Obesity is known by calculating your BODY MASS INDEX(BMI), which is your weight in kilogramme WITH your height in metre square, i.e. you divide your Weight with the square of your height, this will tell you whether you are obese or not. To go about it mathematically, this how you compute your: BMI(Body mass index) = Weight(Kg) (Height)2 (m2) For example, if your weight is 56kg and your height is 1.64m, your BMI is : 56kg/(1.64)2 = 20.821 kg/m2. I hope you get it and now if you are the kind of people that use feet/foot or inches for your height, this is how you will do the calculation: Conversion from feet/foot or inches: 5ft = 9 inches 1ft = 0.3048 5ft = 0.3048 x 5 = 1.524 metre 1 inch = 2.54 cm 100 cm = 1 metre 2.54 cm = 0.0254 metre, therefore 1 inch = 0.0254 metre, Since 5ft = 9 inches 9 inches = 0.0254 x 9 = 0.2286 metre So if you are 5ft 9 inches = 1.524 + 0.2286 metre = 1.7526 metre If you are 176 cm tall = 176/100 = 1.76 metre . so that is how you calculate your height. We have ranges of measurement for BMI, if you fall under any of this range, you will know what your status is as regards obesity. RANGES OF MEASUREMENT Less than 18.5kg/m2 – Underweight 18.55kg/m2 – 24.9kg/m2 – Normal 24.9kg/m2 – 29.9kg/m2 – Overweight Above 30kg/m2 - Obese Above 40kg/m2 - Deadly Obese When it get to a certain stage in life (age 19) height is the same, but your weight may keep on changing. So let go to causes of obesity. CAUSES OF OBESITY! 1. Excessive food intake and lack of physical exercise, if you are the type that like to eat mountainous food without exercise, you are likely to become obese. 2. Hereditary, if it runs in your family, you are likely to become one, but if you can take good precaution, chances are that you can avoid it. 3. insufficient sleep, obesity can be caused by lack of adequate sleep. 4. A decrease rate of smoking, because smoking suppresses appetite 5. increased used of medication that can cause weight gain 6. Pregnancy at later age. 7. Endocrine(Glands/hormone secretion) disruptors. EFFECTS OF OBESITY ON YOUR HEALTH 1. Obesity is associated with various diseases such as cardiovascular(heart-related) diseases. 2. Diabete Mellitus(Type 2). 3. Cancer . 4. Osteoporosis (bone-disease) 5. Asthma 6. Can reduce life expectancy. WHAT TO DO TO REDUCE WEIGHT/OBESITY 1. Exercise( at least 15 minutes per day) in a week. 2. Water therapy (Taking pure warm water very early in the morning). Note emphasis on warm water. 3. Taking of more fruits and vegetables e.g. Cucumber especially for the obese, Garden eggs etc. Avoid Banana and sweet fruits if you are diabetic. 4. Obese people should avoid eating late at night – nothing above 7 p.m. 5. Take more of whole grains e.g. wheat, soy products, millet, sorghum, local rice(e.g. Ofada rice.)

HOW DIRTY IS YOUR BOWEL? CLEANSE IT WITH SMOOTHIES

HOW DIRTY IS YOUR BOWEL? CLEANSE IT WITH SMOOTHIES

Hey, good morning or may be you are in the afternoon over there, there is a question I want to ask you, how dirty is your bowel? You need to cleanse it because the cleaner your bowel is the healthier your become. Nutrition is the foundational healing art that is necessary for any kind of healing to take place in the body. The chemical elements from the food we eat can rebuild cells or correct defects in cells.    And because our ultimate source of chemical element is foods, the success of all other healing arts depends on this one healing arts.

HOW TO CLEANSE YOUR BOWEL

I want you to know that there is a substance in the green leafy vegetable called “chlorophyll”. It plays is important role in the cleansing and healing process. When you consume the “greens”, the chlorophyll in it cleans your blood by cleansing your bowel of those toxins that you might have assimilated into your blood stream. Because a clean bowel helps you prevent diseases.

Coming to the smoothies or juices, you need to consume chlorophyll-rich drinks because smoothies are a source of nutrients that I believe your body needs. It is easily digested and assimilated into blood and lymph than eating raw greens. When it is goes into your blood and lymph, your cells feed on it and maintain your body’s health.

WHAT DO YOU DERIVE FROM SMOOTHIES

1.    Fruit Smoothies:- gives you more vitamins

2.    Vegetable smoothies:- supply more minerals for you.

Both of these smoothies contain nutrients for your body that is why you should consume them, because prevention of sickness and disease is cheaper and better than cure.

NOTE: You should let your fruit be fresh and ripe one, and your smoothies should be consumed very soon as you make them to prevent mineral and vitamins in them getting oxidized, and also because live enzyme don’t last long in smoothies.

Also, note that your life cannot be completely lived on smoothies, you need fibre foods  for your bowel tone and proper elimination, you can get fibre from whole grains, raw nuts, and seeds, and sources of proteins such as eggs , cheese, and yogurt .

A smoothies diet is not the only food you need to give you balance diet, but there may be times when a smoothies fast is the right thing for certain physical ailments and conditions  as they warrant.

Also in addition to smoothies you can use supplement like pinches of Kale, wheatgrass, Spirulina, Chlorella and one teaspoonful of liquid chlorophyll in a glass of water on empty stomach first thing in the morning and last thin in the night. It is known that this has helped cases such as high prolactin levels and breast discharge in women, retrograde menstrual blood flow, distended abdomen, uterine fibroids and many more
