Naturopathic medicine (or naturopathy) is based on the belief that the body can heal itself naturally. Naturopathic medicine attempts to improve health, prevent disease, and treat illness by promoting the use of organic foods and exercise; encouraging a healthy, balanced lifestyle; and applying concepts and treatments from other areas of complementary medicine (such as ayurveda, homeopathy, and

An American man who suffered from AIDS appears to have been cured of the disease 20 months after receiving a targeted bone marrow transplant normally used to fight leukemia, his doctors said. While researchers — and the doctors themselves — caution that the case might be no more than a fluke, others say it may inspire a greater interest in gene therapy to fight the disease that claims 2 million

Despite all the talk about Viagra, it is as if it is not working after all.Men who've, ahem, fallen and can't get up - even with the help of Viagra® - may want to get their testosterone levels checked. A recent study shows that in cases where men experiencing erectile difficulties fail to respond to medication, low levels of the male sex hormone may play a role. Sildenafil, with the trade name

Have you ever wondered why we respond to erotic circumstances, pictures, stories, movies, voices, and even smells?. Hormones like testosterone and estrogen, are some of the  reasons for this process. Because our mind processes sexual information in complicated ways that are currently poorly understood, we may or may not have sexual feelings or thoughts and sexual responses in our bodies when

I haven't exactly discovered the fountain of youth, but I have stumbled upon something that comes as close as possible at the moment. According to a study in the journal PLoS Medicine, it's possible to add 14 years to your life by simply adopting four easy lifestyle habits: exercising, eating lots of produce, drinking alcohol only in moderation and never, ever smoking. Not only do each of these

Treatment Overview Liposuction removes fat from your body using suction. Traditional liposuction is called nontumescent liposuction—small, thin blunt-tipped tubes (cannula) are inserted through tiny incisions in the skin. Fat is suctioned out through these tubes as the doctor moves the tubes around under the skin to target specific fat deposits.   In recent years, improved techniques have made

  A hearing aid makes sounds louder (amplifies). While hearing aids may amplify some types of sounds more than others, at this time they cannot be made or programmed to amplify only one type of sound, such as a voice. Hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, but they may help people with hearing loss function and communicate more easily. What should I do if I think I need a hearing aid? If

Distillation Method: The vast majority of true essential oils are produced by distillation. There are different processes used, however. In all of them, water is heated to produce steam, which carries the most volatile chemicals of the aromatic material with it. The steam is then chilled (in a condenser) and the resulting distillate is collected. The Essential Oil will normally float on top of

A low sex drive in women refers to a lack of interest in sexual activities. Low sexual desire has over the years been found to be on a steady increase and occurs more commonly in females than in males. Highs and lows usually will correspond with the onsets or end of a relationship. May also be related to major physiological changes in life, such as pregnancy, menopause or illness. Others

As a doctor, i know that our problem is from no where else but from doctors. Yes there are doctors who earn as much as N200,000 but that is like saying you know of a banker who earns N500,000 without actually attempting to know his position and how many years he's been in the practice.This is the reality. We doctors all know that those of us in Nigeria are the worst paid in the world and whether

Many are made to believe doctors don't have emotions. It's understandable if you too think so. The training is such that even when you feel something, rather than let it go by crying out loud , one tends to supress it as the teaching is, " if doctors cries, what then dose the patient do?'.This evening i really for the first time in this practice felt like crying for a patient. Not that this is

Well like I last said, we finally were able to take him into the theatre at about 12.30am. It was a long night for an operation that lasted till 5.30am. No member of the unit had a wink of
