Tonsillitis refers to inflammation of the tonsils, and is part of the spectrum of upper respiratory tract infections in children.
Cause
Tonsillitis is caused most often by one of the common viruses, but sometimes it can be caused by a germ (bacterium). It is often impossible to distinguish between viral and bacterial infection. For this reason, many [...]
A baby born before 37 weeks of pregnancy is called a pre-term infant.
Cause
The causes of most premature deliveries are unknown but certain conditions are associated with early labour. Malformations of the womb, an incompetent cervix, early breaking of the waters (premature rupture of membranes), multiple pregnancy (e.g. twins), and maternal diabetes or an acute illness [...]
“I can’t help feeling that I am doing something wrong when I have sex. Years of upbringing can’t be overcome. I’m still a Catholic boy at heart.”
ANSWER: There is no need to overcome those important years. The idea is to incorporate your feelings and memories and values from those years into your sexual life. If [...]
We have discovered the ultimate reason for all diseases: poisoning of our body beyond its capacity to purify itself.
Nearly 100% of such poisoning comes from our diet. We basically poison ourselves, simply because we do not care about what we eat.
In view of the above, our diet requires a basic revision

Most are related to the gastro-intestinal tract, but the cause may be apart from this. It may occur from other areas of the abdomen such as the gallbladder or the pancreas or the liver or it may be due to a rise in blood pressure.
It could even be due to the presence of circulating toxins, [...]
These drugs are bacteriostatic — that is, they do not kill the germ but inhibit its growth, and the body’s own defence mechanism can then overcome the infection.
They still have some advantages in that they readily cross from the blood into the fluid inside the brain and spinal cord, which many newer antibiotics don’t. They [...]
Zinc is one of the most important minerals in our diet and has antioxidant properties. Two hundred enzyme reactions in the body require zinc, some being the production of protein and tissue. This is why it is such an important mineral for growth and healing.
It is important for healing wounds and skin disorders such as [...]
Not long ago, a Bulgarian political refugee in London died three days after a mysterious stranger jabbed him in the leg with a sharpened umbrella tip. Autopsy revealed a minute hollow pellet deep in his wound that, it was believed, contained a fatal poison.
From the nature of his slow death, it was determined that this [...]
Signs and symptoms
Heat rash consists of hundreds of tiny pinhead eruptions, each surrounding a skin pore. These eruptions may look like small pink or red bumps or like tiny water blisters. They are moderately itchy and may show scratch marks. If you look at the rash with a magnifying glass in good light, each dot [...]
It seems like we’ll do anything for kicks. Careen down rocky mountain trails on a bicycle? You bet. Strap skis to our feet and get dragged behind a boat? Sounds like a blast. Surprisingly (and fortunately), as reckless and dangerous as the activities we call sport may sound, they don’t often kill us. More often, [...]
