Hmmm. I’m sure it would, but since we’re not a free essay service, all you’re getting (at least from me) is a resource so YOU can write your own essay.

The education system was far better than it is today in terms of knowledge, today public education is mandatory back then people earned if they really wanted to so they learned subjects like experts. Culturally wise that depends on your culture since you cant say if a culture is better or not lol but i think it was better. You know you have more conservative ideals and more liberal ideal depending on what region of the US u where from. And the economy effected it allot you know if you where poor you will be working harder and no education and no real leisure time. I would have lived in the time period personally especially in Philly; John Adams ( my favorite prez who u should read up on) said it was the most beautiful city in the world and everyone was nice ecs. Ecs. Lol hope this helped.

Ali_endo, Enlarged lymph nodes, while they could be due to cancer spread, could also be due to inflammation caused by recent surgery or therapy. Only examination of tissue under the pathologist’s microscope can be absolutely certain. Your dad’s doctors are doing the right thing in searching now to see if any cancer remains. Even if some cancer is found, it may be possible to surgically remove the lymph nodes and get a cure. Stay hopeful. I hope you’ll now sleep a little easier.

Major medical centres have departments to deal with this. Here’s an example that I have used before:

Jill answers:

Diverticulitis is a condition in which diverticuli in the colon rupture. The rupture results in infection in the tissues that surround the colon.

Diverticula can occur throughout the colon but are most common near the end of the left colon called the sigmoid colon. The condition of having these diverticula in the colon is called diverticulosis

Causes:

The muscular wall of the colon grows thicker with age. Thickening of the colon wall may reflect the increasing pressures required by the colon to eliminate feces.

Constipation makes the muscles strain to move stool that is too hard. It is the main cause of increased pressure in the colon. This excess pressure might cause the weak spots in the colon to bulge out and become diverticula

The increased pressure in the colon can lead to breakdown of the wall of the diverticula leading to infection. The narrow openings of diverticula may trap fecal matter, which can lead to infection. Or, an obstruction in the narrow opening of a diverticulum may reduce blood supply to the area, which leads to inflammation.

In the past, doctors thought that nuts, seeds, popcorn and corn played a role in causing diverticulitis by getting trapped in the diverticula. However, recent research has found that these foods weren’t associated with an increased risk of diverticulitis

These factors may increase your chances of getting diverticulitis: Aging; Obesity; lack of exercise and too little fiber.

Too little Fiber-Occurs where low-fiber diets are common. The disease is rare in countries of Asia and Africa, where people eat high-fiber vegetable diets.

You’re more likely to get diverticulitis if you’re over 40.
Age-related changes, such as a decrease in strength and elasticity of your bowel wall, could contribute to diverticulitis

No, you wouldn’t get it via introduction of bacteria into the anal canal.

Jill answers:

Diverticulitis develops from diverticulosis, which involves the formation of pouches (diverticula) on the outside of the colon. Diverticulitis results if one of these diverticula becomes inflamed. Inflammation in the body is from an infection.

The high, indiscriminate use of antibiotics by doctors destroys the intestinal flora that is 3/4 of the immune system in the body. These intestinal flora are responsible for much of the digestion that takes place. Additionally, these flora produce butyric acid that nourishes the cells of the large intestines. The American diet is absolutely horrible and that, in combination with the drugs and antibiotics given to people, destroys much of the body’s ability to be healthy and avoid infections like that.

This is definitely a preventable disease. The high carb, low fat diets being promoted in America are simply terrible for you. The drug ALLI that was recently approved by the FDA is just another example of this insanity. If you want to avoid this type of problem, there is a very simple way to do that. Don’t listen to the so called “food experts” that are promoting bad food choices. They are nothing more than “hired guns” of the food industry’s big dollar marketing scheme. They know that people listen to “experts.”

One of the biggest misconceptions is this advertised marketing scheme for antacids. It is the lack of stomach acid that is causing acid indigestion. The words “acid indigestion” were created to make people think too much stomach acid is causing this problem, when in fact it is the LACK of STOMACH ACID causing the problem. Lactic acid from rotting, purtrefying, fermenting food due to the lack of stomach acid is causing the acid feeling. Neutralizing it just stops the digestive process, allowing a cascade of events that can lead to high BAD bacteria getting into the intestines that stomach acid normally kills. This bad bacteria wreak havoc with the intestinal flora making the production of butyric acid very low, allowing inflammation to happen. High levels of omega 6 inflammatory acids produced by hydrogenated oils, vegetable oils, processed foods like chips, etc. Promote this inflammatory response from the body. This inflammation process is how the body heals itself by bringing more blood flow to the inflamed area, but if the nutrients are not in the body to fight the infection(s), they cause all kinds of problems like IBS.

Learn to eat right and your chances of getting a disease like that or any other disease will greatly diminish. A very, very good book for you to read is: “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon and also “Life Without Bread” by Christian Allan, pH.D.

Read those books and you will gain huge knowledge that will help you all your life.

Good luck

Symptoms

Symptoms of diverticulitis may last from a few hours to several days. These symptoms may include:

Tenderness, cramps, or pain in the abdomen (usually in the lower left side but may occur on the right) that is sometimes worse when you move.
Fever and chills.
A bloated feeling, abdominal swelling, or gas.
Diarrhea or constipation.
Nausea and sometimes vomiting.
Loss of appetite.
Complications also can cause symptoms. If an abnormal opening (fistula) develops between the colon and the vagina or the colon and the urethra, you may pass air or stool from the vagina or the urethra.

Other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or a urinary tract infection, may cause symptoms similar to diverticulitis. Symptoms such as rectal bleeding, a change in bowel habits, and unexplained weight loss may be signs of colon cancer. If you have any of these symptoms, contact your health professional.

Initial treatment

Treatment for diverticulitis depends on the severity of your symptoms. If the pain is mild, you are able to drink liquids, and you have no signs of complications, treatment may include:

Medications such as antibiotics and pain relievers.
Changes in diet, starting with a clear-liquid or bland diet that is low in fiber until the pain goes away, then increasing the amount of fiber.
Although some people avoid nuts, seeds, berries, and popcorn, believing that they might get trapped in the diverticula and cause pain, there is no evidence that these foods cause or worsen diverticulitis. 1

If the pain is severe, you are not able to drink liquids, or you have complications of diverticulitis, hospitalization is necessary. Treatment will include:

Receiving antibiotics in a vein (intravenous, or IV).
Receiving intravenous fluids and nutrition only (no food or drink by mouth) for up to a week to allow the bowel to rest.
Keeping the stomach empty by sucking out the contents through a tube passed up the nose and down the throat into the stomach (nasogastric or NG tube). This may be needed if you are vomiting or have abdominal swelling.
Performing surgery either for complications of diverticulitis or if you have had repeated attacks that are not helped by changing your diet. About 15% to 20% of initial attacks of diverticulitis require surgery. 3
Most cases of promptly treated diverticulitis will improve in 2 to 3 days.

Jill answers:

This is an inflammation of the diverticula. Diverticula are small pouches in the intestinal system. It is treated by a change in the diet. If an infection is present antibiotics will also be prescribed’
Dr.’s think the cause is not having enough fiber in the diet.

If you give the government that much power, then it will be abused. You can have Latin Kings killing you for no reason or you can have thugs with badges doing it.

What the government *should* do is (especially in NYC) is allow citizens to carry weapons to defend themselves, as well as legalize the things that end up funding these gangs through the black market.

By the way, it’s martial law, not marshal law.

Its often heralded as a great diet aid to drop pounds fast… Supposedly beyonce drank it to lose 20 for the movie dreamgirls.. In any event theres a few different recipes for it.. This one i found is called the lemon cleanse.. Also included is a salt water flush and instructions on how to come off the lemonade fast as well.. Enjoy!

* 2 tablespoons FRESH squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
* 2 tablespoons genuine organic maple syrup, Grade B (the darker the better)*
* 1/10 teaspoon (a small pinch!) cayenne pepper, gradually increase (the more
BTUs the better)
* 300 – 500 ccm (10-14 oz) pure water

In a 300ccm (10-ounce) glass (to allow for 227ccm and mixing room): 2 tablespoons fresh (and organic, if possible) lemon or lime juice (absolutely no canned or frozen juice). 2 tablespoons real (and organic, if possible) grade B or C maple syrup. (Don’t use Grade A maple syrup or maple-flavored syrup. They are over-refined, which means that they are mostly refined sugars and lack essential minerals.) A small pinch of cayenne pepper (to taste). Spring or purified water, between room temperature and medium hot (but not cold) – fill to 1/4 liter (8 oz). Mix all the ingredients by thoroughly stirring or shaking, and drink. Or, in two 1 liter bottles: Juice of 3 lemons, divided equally between the two bottles (about 85ccm or 3 oz per bottle) An equal quantity of grade B or C maple syrup in each bottle (about 85 ccm or 3 oz per bottle) A pinch of cayenne in each bottle Spring or purified water (fill bottles to the top) Mix all the ingredients by thoroughly shaking; then drink throughout the day. Use fresh lemons or limes only, never canned or frozen lemon juice. Use organic and vine ripened when possible. Also, mix your lemonade fresh just before drinking. Don’t mix it up in the morning for the whole day. You can, however, squeeze your lemons in the morning and measure out the 2 tablespoons when needed.

The juice of one lemon mixed into a glass of water….in the morning, first thing when you wake up..do it for a month or so and see how you feel~good for your liver, too~!

Hi Mae

THe answers on this website really show how ignorant we are in cleaning the toxins out of the body. The average american has one bowel movement every 2 days and almost everywhere else in the world is 30 minutes after eating! If toxins are sitting in the colon where are they suppose to go if you dont have regular movements ? They get in the blood and that is main reason we get illness and disease. We Americans eat so much food that is processed and has all types of chemicals in them. It’s no wonder we lead the world in the most types of diseases known.

To answer your question; the process is to get herbs (or colonics) that help give a person regular bowel movements and cleans out the colon. You can do this effectively with a 5-10 day cleanse by eating organic fruits and vegetables (better yet juicing them) and using herbs to help clear the toxins. (herbdoc.com has a good program)

Who makes money if we are all ignorant and have health issues (drug companies of course)? If we educate everyone to have 4-5 colon cleanses a year our nation would have most of our freedom back. Health freedom anyway.

Best of health to you

In a normally functioning digestive tract; all food/gas should pass in two-three days.
If you have surgery, major trauma, or an intestinal disease, the time length will be affected.
Diet, exercise, medications will also affect digestion and gas.

Because Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, this means it can effect virtually any system in your body ranging from neurological function to circulation. If you’re looking for a good read, you may want to try Living Gluten Free for Dummies, it’s one of those black and yellow dummies books. I found my copy on www.amazon.com. There are also a ton of great websites out there with infinite wisdom. My favorite websites are www.celiac.com and www.glutenfreeforum.com, but there are many many others. Just be careful of privately owned websites as the information isn’t always up to date. Celiac.com is probably your best resource for information. Glutenfreeforum.com is probably your best resource for support. The people on that message board are wonderful, so ask away. My name on there is Guhlia, so say hi when you stop by.

What other autoimmune disease do you have? For your lack of energy, try taking a vitamin high in B vitamins and iron. Have you been tested for anemia? Many Celiacs are anemic. If you haven’t gone gluten free yet, please do so immediately. Eating gltuen can cause cancer, osteoperosis, osteopenia, peripheral neuropathy, etc…

Jill answers:

When you receive an epidural for abdominal surgery, the intestines are temporarily anesthetised. One of the advantages of the epidural is that when it wears off, the intestines are restored to their original tone, since the anesthetic is not in contact with them.

It is always difficult to resume BM after surgery. The nurse will ask anxiously about bladder and bowel activity. General anesthesia generally shuts everything down for a period of time.

Do they “work”?
Well, they make you poop a LOT.
But do they do anything else for you? No.
Your colon does not need help “cleaning” itself. It is self-cleaning and these pills are a scam and a waste of money.

You’re going to get lots of differing opinions here.
My friend was diagnosed (2 Drs) with stage 5 uterine cancer, given 6 mos to live by 1st Dr, 3 mos by 2nd Dr.
She refused radiation and chemo, started colonics.
She had 30 colonics in 45 days, began eating nothing but organic food, drinking a gallon of water a day, and by the end of 2 months was cancer free.
That was 7 yrs ago.
She believes in it.

Jill answers:

OK, I’ll admit that I’ve started colon cleansing and, yes, after my last treatment then the whites of my eyes were noticeably whiter. My mother noticed it and a good friend noticed it, it wasn’t just me noticing. Both asked me what I was doing different, thinking I was taking a new vitamin that was doing it.

My last treatment was my 4th or 5th colonic. I go in for my next one on Thursday and I’ll make it a point to see if there’s any change in my iris but, so far, it was only noticeable on the whites of my eyes.

Also, I might add, that I’ve had a lifelong problem with chronic constipation, just like my Dad, so someone who has never been afflicted with intestinal problems like ours might not benefit from colon cleansing.

Jill answers:

It just seems like spam to me. They post the same responses regardless of the question.
They know there are a lot of people who are obsessed with weight in this section, so they’re hoping to gain some business.

Jill answers:

Because people dont want to do any work, most are all lazy and think if they cleanse their colon they will somehow be healthier instead of eating well and exercising. They want a quick fix.

Jill answers:

For what you get out of it, neither is worth the $$$$$$$$. The pills are expensive and so is the colonic. I did 2 of them in the past. I found that eating a proper diet and drinking lots of water will actually give you the same results. Also, the insertion of the speculum during the colonic hurts. Try it if you want, but you will probably feel like you wasted your money.

Jill answers:

The differences in the method is that Bowtrol and Oxy-Powder is taken internally in the form of a capsule. Oxy-Powder has a slightly more restricted diet, and with Bowtrol you can continue on your normal diet without much change except it is recommended that you drink more water.

With colon hydrotherapy, you lie on an exam table while purified water run very slowly in the colon. The abdominal area is massaged while the water is flowing out into a glass viewing tube. In one session approximately two to six liters flows in and out of the large intestines. Both methods will give you the same results – a cleanse and detox of your intestinal system. However Bowtrol/Oxy-Powder is much less invasive and you can do this in the privacy of your home.

Jill answers:

Hi Rissa, yes you can take a colonic while not cleansing. I know several people that take them once a month along with enemas to help keep things moving.

Jill answers:

It cleans out the colon. People get it since their colon is full of it. Unprocessed plant foods have plenty of fiber and keeps the colon clean. Meat, dairy, wheat and other stuff clogs the colon. See this site below for more on this and something that you can do yourself at no cost.

The most common early sign of prostate cancer is suddenly needing to urinate more frequently than normal (this can also be a symptom of urinary tract and other infections) particularly, stopping urination but feeling that you haven’t emptied your bladder.

The commonest early sign of bowel/colon cancer is an alternation between diarrhea and constipation, other common early symptoms include abdominal pain, blood in stools and sudden weight loss.

Neither disease can be completely prevented but it’s thought that an active sex/ejaculation life may reduce concentrations of carcinogens in the prostate gland.

Chances of developing bowel/colon cancer are shown to be reduced by including plenty of fibre (bran, wholegrain bread etc), fruit and vegetables in the diet, the recommended daily intake is 5 portions of fruit or vegetables a day.

Jill answers:

If you are a female having a urinary tract infection is part of you life. You can help reduce the impact by drinking plenty of fluids, probiotic yogurts, and drinking cranberry juice. Below are some site to review regarding colon and pancreatic cancer. If you are concerned with colon or pancreatic cancer due to your urinary tract infection they are not really related. I hope this helps and the below sites give you the information you desire. Good luck

Jill answers:

It may or many not be cancer. It may be Hemorrhoids also which has a symptom – Painless bleeding during bowel movements — you might notice small amounts of bright red blood on your toilet tissue or in the toilet bowl. So before coming to any conclusion your friend should visit a doctor and have the situation evaluated. However the signs and symptoms of Colon cencer which he should be aware of are given below_

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they’ll likely vary, depending on the cancer’s size and location in your large intestine.

Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include:

-A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks
-Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
-Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain
-Abdominal pain with a bowel movement
-A feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty completely -
-Weakness or fatigue
-Unexplained weight loss
-Blood in your stool may be a sign of cancer, but it can also indicate
other conditions. Bright red blood you notice on bathroom tissue more commonly comes from hemorrhoids or minor tears (fissures) in your anus, for example. In addition, certain foods, such as beets or red licorice, can turn your stools red. Iron supplements and some anti-diarrheal medications may make stools black. Still, it’s best to have any sign of blood or change in your stools checked promptly by your doctor because it can be a sign of something more serious. -

Jill answers:

Pretty tight matchup here. You get more defense with the Hawks obviously. Dikembe Mutombo and Mookie Blaylock were top notch for their time in the defensive category.

Matchups:

Backcourt: I actually thought Steve Smith was a better player with the Hawks and Blazers then he was with the Heat. He took some time in his career to come into his own. Mookie was a lockdown defender, and would have no problems handling a fairly one-dimensional Brian Shaw. Edge: Hawks

Forwards: Glen Rice could rack up points in bunches. One of the “explosive” players in the Eastern Conference at that time. He could knock down three’s at an alarming rate. He gets the easy nod over Tyrone Corbin here. Edge: Heat

Frontcourt: Say what you want about Christian Laettner. He wasn’t as good in the NBA as he was in college. We know this. But that by no account means he was a total stiff. In fact he was a solid contributor, a good teammate, and a major hustle guy. Also, don’t look down on Rony Seikaly was also a very solid, forgotten contributor before the arrival of Alonzo Mourning in Miami. Unfortunately for him, he was going up against the toughest defender of the post in the 1990s in Dikembe. Edge: Hawks

Another tight match up in a 5 game series, I can see Glen Rice carrying the Heat to a 5th game; but ultimately falling to a better balanced Atlanta Hawks.

Hawks 3-2

Jill answers:

There have been plenty of teams that on paper were more talented then the ’96 Bulls. The Bulls won 72 games without a legitimate center or point guard. They had two superstar players and a bunch of journeymen who somehow managed to mesh perfectly. It takes more then just throwing together a bunch of talented players to make a winning NBA team. Talents and abilities and personalities need to mesh as well. I don’t question how much talent the Heat have, but I’ll be interested to see how well they can play together.
