new alternative Medicine

Compared to other countries, our healthcare service is quite special, obviously runnung in its own and not always logical way. At this point, most people throw up their arms and fall about laughing. Most foreigners would fall about laughing, socialist and communist thought seem to have on other idea of running a health service except the Dracula one. Some would turn to statistics proving we spend far more than any other nation on health per head. But such proofs do ignore two important factors, which makes all this really curious. First of all we do not perform very well in comparison with other nations having fewer doctors and other medical staff per head of citizens, and depending on drugs more heabily. At the same time people in other developed countries live longer and as it turns out – enjoy a better live. These facts should make us admit we are not getting value for money. Then, it is true our government makes the largest contribution to paying for people’s healthcare. We have got Medicare, Medicaid and other programs funded by the state and almost 30 per cent of us are using this aid, though not completely free . Actually about 67 per cent of the adult population pay to purchase their own health insurance together with the tax for other people’s health care.

After this said we should ask ourselves what insurance is for. Ideally the purpose is to keep us well through regular screening and diagnosis for preventive measures and provide the best possible treatment as we fall ill or got an injury. Thus health coverage is designed to protect people from the risk of bankruptcy or becoming a burden on the state. And the taxpayers’ dollars should be spend in a way which enables the best value for money. Most foreign countries run their healthcare as a public utility. But here can turn to the insurance industry as an option to be combined with the healthcare services when a service is too expensive for an individual. There were wage and price controls during World War II and shortage of labor.. Health plans were exempted from federal taxes and employers competed to attract the best workers offering better health cover producing an explosion in employer plans. Then, the Blue Cross and some other nonprofit companies apperread in 1990 as private insurance providers. These however have mostly converted to for-profit over the last twenty years to get more efficient as they tend to say.

If we look closely at the for-profit business model we will see insurers charging the highest possible rates acceptable and fighting to pay out the minimum. The funds resting are then shared out for high salaries and dividends for the industry workers. This is not compicated for understanding. Should costs rise more than usual, the insurers try to convince the policyholders it is necsessary to accept co-payments or higher deductibles. When it doesn’t work to keep the profit still high, their simply solution is ending the policy of individuals falling ill and turning down those with pre-existing conditions. They would even go so far to dictate what should the doctors do or not about the treatment and how much to charge. Isn’t it just discriminating if they support only the healthy, while those in need are neglected, causing possible losses for the whole economy.. Continue reading →

No matter what the physical or psychological causes of sexual dysfunction, there’s a single underlying problem. Our society has become increasingly convinced everything can be perfect the first and every time. Although consistency is desirable, it’s almost impossible to guarantee every experience will always meet the same high standards. This means many people are setting themselves up to feel dissatisfied with their own or other people’s performance. Although this may not be too serious a problem in everyday living, it can become more dangerous when it comes to sex. There’s a mythology about sexual activity that often gives rise to high expectations. Our young are often led to believe the first experience will be extraordinary. Disappointment is therefore quite common. If these disappointments are repeated, it can affect libido and people can lose some or all their interest in sexual activity.

Physical and psychological causes of erectile dysfunction

Some causes of erectile dysfunction are purely physical. This can be an injury affecting the spine or lower part of the body, there may be damage to the nervous system because of diabetes or similar diseases, or it may be a symptom of cardiovascular disease. The most common cause is too high a level of carbohydrates in the bloodstream. This produces a deposit of platelets on the walls on the arteries and slowly restricts the flow. If the penile artery is affected, erections fail. Dysfunction can also be a side-effect of some common drugs.

The psychological causes are fairly easy to list. Libido may be lost because of a trauma, e.g. abuse or coercion, or a deep depression, i.e. any disastrous social event may have long-lasting consequences or a man may become so depressed he loses interest in all aspects of life. Performance anxiety is slight less serious where fear of failure becomes dominant and the man stops trying. In younger men, there can also be sexual confusion as to orientation. If the man is actually gay, there may be no consistent sexual response to a female. Continue reading →

It is simply assumed all socialist systems are dangerous to the health of those who live there. Others believe the Europeans have death camp hospitals where doctors decide who lives and dies. The survival of similar myths is the proof that ideas and beliefs can have a mighty and long-lasting effect on people. It is true, and many have expericenced it not once in a life, if your belief in something is really strong and if you make it a part of your life, such a belief often comes true.

The researchers who designed the first clinical trials faced an interesting and inevitable problem… about one-third of participants who have been given an inert substance reported feeling better. The chemically inert substance given to them have absolutely no effect on the human body. This was the placebo effect.. People in all clinical trials, are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One gets the real drug. The other gets the placebo. But there is no way anyone can know which is which. Doctors in white coats gives you encouragement, a smile and the “medicine”. The volunteers then describe how they feel. Physicians are listening carefully, examining, ordering tests where appropriate . And no matter what the researchers have done to eliminate the placebo effect, all they have succeeded in doing is produce a mountain of evidence that people who expect a treatment to work feel better.

It has long been recognized that people who believe strongly enough in the cure will often be cured. So, if you run a practice, a clinic or hospital, you can make a third of your patients feel better if you manage their expectations well. You can prescribe something that will “do the trick”. Even if this something is chemically inert, it will be an effective treatment in at least one-third of cases!.. Continue reading →

Well, pain accompanies most of human beeings and we all know what can cause it and how it feels. . There’s a condition however when the person affected feels no painful sensations called pathological analgesia.. But normally pain is something inevitableThe questoipn is if there was no pain at all would the world be a better and happier place?

No is the answer. The world without pain can be a rather young but an empty world without much humans living in it. Pain beeing a strongest caution signal we have in our body help us evaluate any malfunctions, problems and therats to our lives. Statistics show that most of those rare persons who are born without the ability to feel pain live no longer than their teen age… Feeling pain due to different reasons makes us take some measures. Otherwise we could easily die of a little cut, supercooling or inflammation.. So the world couldn’t simply be the same if we feel no pain..

Pain is complex in it snature, and there are a numer of view ob it.. Physiologically the senstions of pain results nervous receptors triggered. Nervous receptors are responsible both touch and pain. If thr feeling of touch is replaced by a more severe impact (extreme heat, cold, inflammation, mechanical hit) the nervous system got a stronger signals and the brain interpret s such discomfort as pain.
