I had a busy morning, making a sale, dropping off the check to the office, going through the factory to review some deliveries scheduled next week. All is good. On the way home I got gas and wanted to do a quick run through Walmart. Not a good idea as it was busy like they were giving things away!
I had to pee and knew I couldn't hold it until I got home. No choice, so I went to the restroom in the store. All the stalls were empty... looks like they were shopping and not peeing. Standing at the urinal, thinking of the obligations for the rest of the day, I hear someone talking... I'm doing my best to ignore the guy, but he repeated himself a few times. He was asking me if I had to get up during the night to pee. I pulled my zipper up, stepped back and turned. My answer was "No" and to his surprise he said he's got an enlarged prostrate and has to get up to pee at least three times during the night.
TMI, isn't it?

Sorry, I'm not accustomed to striking up conversations at the urinal and distanced myself by walking the opposite direction from him to wash my hands.
It's a good thing he 'got the message' as I was prepared to tell him the whole world has an enlarged prostate... But, he walked out of the restroom still complaining about his prostate.

In many diseases, our body has the ability to heal itself.
When an animal falls ill, the first thing it does is to stop eating.

I have been observing one thing since childhood that whenever my father has fever, he stops eating for two to three days. When I ask him to take medicine, he refuses and says that if I don't eat for two or three days, I will be fine. I give him citrus fruit juice (orange juice) during this time. Mostly he recover in a day or two. When he don't get better even after two or three days, then he goes to the doctor.

My father believes that except for some medical emergency, one should not go to the doctor immediately. The body should be given a chance to heal itself.

My father grew up in the village, he is the son of a farmer. The people of the village mostly use herbs in the disease.
I remember, in childhood, in fever, my uncle used to make me drink a decoction of some leaves which was very astringent in taste.

Medical research has confirmed that dating site members with multiple profiles often do this due to a traumatic experience in their childhood. Be it missing the bus and having to walk 5 miles to get to school or something more serious, like having your mother force you to lean over the casket and kiss your dead grandmother.

Medically, it's called Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD.

Whatever the case, they are known to resort to outlandish tactics to gain confidence with the other members, often by picking on one or more members in an attempt to bully or discredit them. However false, this does give them an authoritative sense of security and that odd personality feels they have accomplished something... enough where the more dominant personality comes back out again and they seemingly appear normal.

If you should know someone who suffers with MPD, please contact your nearest mental health clinic as they have trained professionals who are available to help.

There are several different treatments multiple personality disorders that may include talk therapy (psychotherapy) and more importantly medication. Although treating dissociative disorders can be difficult, many people learn new ways of coping and lead healthy, productive lives. The option to rejecting treatment could lead to things more serious like entering into multiple romantic relationships that hurt the other parties concerned.

39 years ago today (Feb. 14, 1984), Stormie Dawn Jones was the world's first recipient of a successful simultaneous heart and liver organ transplant.

Sadly, this little freckle-face passed away on Nov. 11, 1990.

Laughter is a tonic for the heart which strengthens the heart.
Tears are the safety valve of the heart, harmful emotions come out in the form of tears, which do not harm the heart.
The easier it is for you to laugh and cry, the easier it will be for your heart to keep your body healthy and alive.
How easy it used to be for us to laugh and cry in childhood but how difficult it has become in today's stressful lifestyle.

I check my blood pressure a few times a week, usually at rest in the morning. If I'm doing exercises, I sometimes check again right after to see the elevated pressure and the number of heartbeats per minute.

On average I'm seeing around 65bpm. 20 years ago, I had a cardiologist who insisted I take medicine that slowed my heart rate to 60 or below. The theory was less strain on my heart.
Over the years I've been on different hypertension medicines that each have their way of working. I remember one medicine made me light-headed when I did strenuous exercise like yard work for an hour. I had to take breaks often and wait for my heart-rate to go down. Testing, testing, testing I think the maximum was between 100-110 beats per minute.

Different doctor now, different medicines and I haven't checked under a stressful situation in a while.

I was in the main office yesterday and the installation supervisor returned from a clinic doing blood work. He's stressed out and that doesn't surprise me as it''s a suicidal position with nothing but pressure when you don't have enough good installers to keep up with the workload.

He showed me a new digital watch with a health monitor as his beats per minute were 115 when he's calmly walking around. He's a time bomb just waiting to go off!
When it gets to 120 beats per minute, the watch alerts him.

To me he's got the wrong medicines and... possibly the wrong cardiologist!
That isn't a good combination.

Chronic illness and disease is mainly the result of a person's lifestyle. You can't catch these illnesses, or be vaccinated against them. They are self inflicted by the type of lifestyle we adopt from when we are born. Processed foods, high fat intake, white sugar, white flour, excess of salt. High blood pressure, diabetes are examples that are treated with drugs produced by the pharmaceutical industry who make huge profits on our dependence on their products.
Doctors prescribe pills and medicine without considering the cause of illness. They treat the symptoms and then get rid of you. Doctors have virtually no training in nutrition and we probably have more knowledge than them.
The best way to change lifestyle is to switch to plant based foods and control your weight together with exercise.
Introducing children to junk food as a treat is starting them on the path to ill health in the future.
