Heart Attack or Heart Failure

NEW ORLEANS - A new medical study paints a grim picture for heart-related health care in Louisiana when it comes to heart attack or heart failure.
The study examined data on heart attack and heart failure patients from about 600,000 hospitals nationwide.
Local cardiologist Dr. Robert Matheney said the study takes into account every step of care.
"From the time they leave their address to the time they get a balloon or stint procedure, to the time they discharge and whether or not they are re-admitted in the next 30 days," he said.
"Our facility, resources, how well we educate the patient, the doctor's response time, how well they're treated in the emergency room as well as monitored on the floor, all of that plays part," said Dr. Matheney, president of the Greater Southeast Affiliate Board of Directors for the American Heart Association and Chief of Staff at Ochsner Hospital-Westbank.
The Louisiana hospitals in the study rank among the lowest in the country, with deaths in about 25 percent of patients admitted for heart attack or failure.
But Dr. Matheney said there are some weaknesses in the study unique to Louisiana and New Orleans hospitals.
"The data started in July 2005 and 2008. That was a critical time we all know, right before Katrina," he said.
In light of residents already at high risk for obesity and heart disease in Louisiana, Dr. Matheney said patient responsibility is also a factor.
"If they are not having time to exercise, rest, return for doctor appointments, if they don't have insurance, if they are stressed out, all of that plays a part," he said.
However, this study focuses on how hospitals react and treat patients, and not the prevention methods.
Dr. Matheney says the poor performance by Louisiana hospitals likely involves the resources locally, and lack of, but does not accurately represent the efforts made, or what will be done to improve treatment in the state.
"It is basically coordination. From the emergency room, our communication with physicians and the cath lab and intensive care units, once we get that coordinated we will see tremendous improvement," he said.
The study only looks at patients 65-years and older, and does not include patients enrolled in managed care, considering only patients on medicare. Source: Health News

Old Folks Remedy- Garlic based hair loss remedy

Men and Women have tried this Old Folks Remedy and say that even after trying different solutions they still were losing their hair they finally turned to this home remedy for hair loss because none of the traditional medications helped. helped.

One woman said: "This is by far the best hair loss remedy that I have tried, and I have tried many. I even dared to use petroleum jelly on my hair and that was, to say it gently, not a very smart choice. It sure helped with removing some dead skin cells off my scalp as it burnt the skin."


So you don't get tempted to do the same thing, try this Garlic based hair loss remedy
Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of aloe gel

1 tablespoon of honey

1 tablespoon of garlic juice

2 egg yolks

3 tablespoons of chamomile (tea bag content is fine to use)

24 fluid oz of water

Instructions:

1) Peel garlic and use a garlic press to squeeze the juice out

2) Mix it with honey and place the bowl in the fridge

3) Boil water with chamomile tea for about 30 minutes

4) Stir occasionally

5) When tea is done, take the bowl with honey and garlic juice out of the fridge

6) Stir in an egg yolk into the garlic juice/honey mix

7) Add Aloe Vera gel to the mix.

8) Use the mix and gently rub it in your scalp. When you run out of the paste, wrap a towel around your head.

9) Keep on your head for 20 minutes and wash once with a neutral shampoo (I used Johnson's Baby shampoo). Rub in the second egg yolk and wash off using only warm water.

10) To finish off, wash your hair off with the previously prepared chamomile tea.

Use this mix once a week. If you don't notice any improvement within a month or so, please visit a dermatologist.


That's it! It might sound a bit elaborate, but remember: your hair loss is a complicated issue and deserves to be treated like one. Let me know if you found this hair loss remedy helpful

The Energizing Forces of Anger


Life sometimes reaches a point when cynicism, resentment and anger set in. When life reaches that point you become jaded and bursts of anger gets displayed at every opportunity.
Such display of anger turns people away because they think of anger as a destructive and disruptive force. But anger can actually purify you, let you live a healthy lifestyle… if you do not succumb or be enslaved by it.
Here’s what Kris had to say…
“So when I was told I had a tumor in growing in my brain, denial was my first reaction. Anger was my second. I have never felt so damn angry before!
My anger churned, boiled and curdled inside me. Lashing out and berating others during fits of anger became second nature to me. I have never been so tactless or this indiscriminate before. People who knew of my illness, particularly those who truly cared about me, tried their best to understand and let my anger boil over. And boiled over it did. That was when I started to come to terms with my condition.
Anger now took on a more positive vibe for me. It motivated me to come to grips with the reality that I am sick and that I have to find as much information about my illness for me to understand it better. This metamorphosis came to me in 5 ways.
I made the conscious decision to move out of denial
When anger no longer enrages you, you should let it motivate you to accept that something serious is taking place inside you. There can no longer be any denial that your medical condition exists.
I stopped asking “What if”
Asking the “what if” questions is a guaranteed waste of time. Would repeatedly asking, “What if I had been diagnosed sooner?” change anything? How about, “What if I was misdiagnosed?” will that make the tumor disappear? It won’t. So instead of asking, “What if…?” I started to ask “What more?”… What more is out there about this condition?
Energy from anger is now released positively
Instead of lashing out at people who have really done no wrong to me, I now channel the energy I get from being angry at finding more and more information about my condition. I made seeking answers and new knowledge from doctors and health professionals my new way of life. Urgency is the only other emotion that stops depression from creeping in.
I re-learned how to laugh
Yes, there is nothing funny about having a growing tumor in your brain, but will sulking or crying your eyes out about it make any difference?
Positive anger will provide you with a better perspective. Instead of asking why it had to be me (and why not?), I find myself asking, “How long have I had this on my brain and I never noticed? All this time that I had been laughing, walking, watching baseball while having this thing in my head?”
I convinced myself that I will find the answer
When I started looking for answers and information about my condition I found them because I never relented. Positive anger motivated and provided me with the energy and the drive to find the answers that I needed.
Anger has energized my life and the way I look at my condition. It now inspires all that I do as I take on this journey to make the most of my life.”

Are Kids Snoring Their Way To ADHD?


"New research suggests children who snore face nearly double the risk of being inattentive and hyperactive, providing fresh evidence of an intriguing link between sleep problems and attention deficit disorders."

What will happen if this outbreak gets classified as a Pandemic?


Moving the world to pandemic phase 4 would be the signal for serious containment actions to be taken on the national and international level. Given that these actions would have major implications for the global economy, not to mention the effects of the public fear that would ensue, there is concern that the WHO may be considering politics along with science. "What the WHO did makes no sense," says Osterholm. "In a potential pandemic, you need to have the WHO be beyond question, and (April 25) was not a good day for them."
Of course, declaring a pandemic isn't a decision that should be taken lightly. For the WHO, phase 4 might trigger an attempt to keep the virus from spreading by instituting strict quarantines and blanketing infected areas with antivirals. But we appear to have missed the opportunity to contain the disease at its source since the virus is already crossing borders with ease. "We cannot stop this at the border," said Anne Schuchat, the CDC's interim director for science and public health. "We don't think that we can quench this in Mexico if it's in many communities now."
That would leave the WHO and individual countries to fall back on damage control, using antivirals and old-fashioned infection control - like closing schools, limiting public gatherings and even restricting travel - to slow the spread of the virus. But such efforts would likely inflict serious damage on an already faltering global economy - and the truth is, we don't know how well those methods will work. How Scared should We Be: Outside of Mexico, the swine flu hasn't looked too serious yet - unlike during the SARS outbreaks of 2003, when an entirely new virus with no obvious treatment took the world by surprise. In the U.S., the normal flu season is winding down, which should make it easier for public-health officials to pick out swine flu cases from run-of-the-mill respiratory disease. And there are simple things that people can do to protect themselves, like practicing better hygiene (wash hands frequently and cover mouth and nose when sneezing) and staying away from public places or traveling if they feel sick. "There's a role for everyone to play when an outbreak is ongoing," said Besser. SAource: The Time News Lilyruths"This and that friendly cottage" Pets welcomed.

Cocaine and Drug Products from the Past, Part 2


Metcalf's Coca Wine was one of a large number of cocaine-containing wines available on the market.
All claimed medicinal effects, although they were undoubtedly consumed for their "recreational" value as well.



Vin Mariani (c. 1865) was the leading Coca Wine of its time.
Pope Leo XIII purportedly carried a hipflask of Vin Mariani with him, and awarded a Vatican gold medal to its creator, Angelo Mariani.



This coca wine was made by the Maltine Manufacturing Company (New York). The dosage indicated on the back of the bottle reads: "A wine glass full with, or immediately after, meals. Children in proportion."








Cocaine-containing throat lozenges (c. 1900) were "indispensable for singers, teachers, and orators." In addition to quieting a sore throat, these lozenges undoubtedly provided the "pick-me-up" to keep these professionals performing at their peak.



Paperweight advertisement for C.F. Boehringer & Soehne (Mannheim, Germany), "largest makers in the world of quinine and cocaine." This chemical manufacturer was proud of its leading position in the world's cocaine market.



This bottle of Stickney and Poor's paregoric (mixture of opium and alcohol) was distributed much like the spices for which the company is better known. Doses for infants, children, and adults are given on the bottle. At 46% alcohol, this product is 92 proof which is pretty potent in itself.



This ad is for Glyco-Heroin manufactured by Martin H. Smith Company (New York). Heroin was widely used not only as an analgesic but also as a remedy for asthma, coughs, and pneumonia. Mixing heroin with glycerin (and often adding sugar or spices) made the bitter-tasting opiate more palatable for oral consumption.
I truely hope you enjoyed taking this trip with me into the past to see the remedies they had to cure what ailes you. Any comments you have be sure to share them with us.

Cold Sores - Old Folks Remedies

A number of home remedies are great for healing cold sores. These treatments are quick, easy, and cheap and can help relieve the pain of a cold sore as well as help make it heal quicker... Pressing or rubbing ice on a sore is possibly the best-known home remedy for cold sores. There are several benefits to this remedy. If the ice is applied early in the development of the cold sore, it can slow down the metabolism of the area around the cold sore, greatly slowing its growth. It is good to hold the ice to the sore for a few minutes every ten minutes for a few hours. The ice will also make the sore smaller and keep the virus from moving or spreading.
Rubbing aloe, lemon balm extract, or tea bags to cold sores is also known to lessen their size and help reduce pain. Drinking less coffee is another home remedy for cold sores. It is believed that coffee can be a catalyst in the formation of cold sores. It is recommended that people who are susceptible to cold sores cut back on their coffee intake.

Old folks remedies- Stained teeth

Pick up any magazine and flip through page after page of models with dazzling white teeth. That’s enough to make anyone feel insecure about their pearly whites. While dental treatments to obtain a sparkling smile are available, they are very expensive. Here are some home tips to whiten up your stained teeth.

There are certain foods and beverages that are notorious for causing stained
teeth. The first step in obtaining a whiter smile is to avoid these as much as possible. Spicy foods can stain teeth. Candies and sweets can stick to the teeth making cleaning difficult and promoting tooth decay that can contribute to stained teeth. Red wine and certain antibiotics can also stain the teeth. The worst culprits, though, are coffee, tea, colas, and tobacco. If you absolutely must have your daily coffee and cigarettes, at least brush your teeth immediately afterwards.

To whiten already stained teeth, try brushing with baking soda. You can use it by itself or mix it with your regular toothpaste. Be careful though! Baking soda is an abrasive and using it too often will damage the enamel on your teeth. Once a week should be sufficient.

A safe, non abrasive tooth whitener is clove oil. Put a drop on your toothpaste and brush as usual. This can be used every time you brush with no fear of damaging your teeth. Just make sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly after brushing.

For very badly stained teeth, you should consult with your dentist. It’s a good idea in any case to see your dentist twice a year for a professional cleaning.

Natural Cures-To Remove Warts

Apple Cider Vinegar on cotton ball

Effectively removed very deep warts off the bottom of the foot. Every night I wet a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar and used bandage tape to secure it to the foot. After a week the youngest warts began to turn black and fall off. It did take a long time for the really deep ones to finally totally die (about 13 weeks) but they are all gone. An excellent non toxic cure!

Banana skin!

Banana skin applied to a wart can work wonders.Here's how:

Wash and dry the wart and surrounding skin.

Cut a suitable-sized piece of unripe banana skin and put it on wart.

Fix it in place with a sticking plaster and leave it on for up to eight hours.

Remove,wash and repeat.

After a couple of weeks the wart should fall off.

Old Folks Remedies-Prevent Hair Loss

Massage your scalp for a good 10 minutes in small circular motions using the tips of your fingers,never fingernails,I find that massage works to stimulate the much needed blood supply back to the scalp because it is the highest point for the blood to flow and blood breeds oxygen to the hair follicle-most hair loss is attributed to either not rinsing the shampoo thoroughly on the scalp leaving a residue and clogging the shaft with chemicals.

Never use hats or caps for extended periods of time-only in and out of the cold or use tube hats that keep the top of the head free and scalp breathing. Finally, only towel dry the hair with paper towels-yes and use the repeated small circular motions going to massage it dry--don't use a hair dryer as this contributes to dry scalp and flakes left on the scalp can again cause a residue that blocks the hair shaft and causes it to lose the hair in undue stress.
The towel use can cause friction that leads to negative ions and electrically charged hair that also causes undue stress. The paper towels builds up much volume. These are preventative therapy to keep the hair you already have and avoid losing any more.

Once a while use mayonnaise (eggs has protein hair needs) to soften the hair and beer (Hopps and alcohol rejuvenate the hair back to firmness it needs to be) keep it always washed free of any residue and always use water that is a bit tapped temperature(warm temp water but on the cooler side) and continue doing those little circle massages throughout the wash/dry cycles of the hair washing/setting.
Finally to regrow hair lost only put the halipino oil in the spots that require hair regrowth and massage it for a few minutes--followed by the mayonnaise and beer remedy in the spot that requires the hair (ie crown or forehead region)

To avoid flaky scalp use all of the above and rinse with apple cider vinegar to bring it under control=in the beginning this may cause the scalp to go greasy so you may have to do it every other day until the scalp shows no more signs of flakes.
