Vaccine Safety Back asserted

Scientists re-affirm the safety of vaccination. Some mild side effects can indeed occur after immunization, but they claim to date there is no evidence that the vaccine will cause autism or type 1 diabetes.

The report was submitted by a panel of scientists in the United States after an exhaustive review of 1,000 studies. Research is regarded as a side effect of vaccine research's most comprehensive since 1994.

Fear of vaccine side effects has led many parents to spend her child immunization schedule. It also makes some of the reformulated vaccine.

"We have studied more than 1,000 evaluation reports from epidemiological and biological evidence about vaccine side effects. The result is clear that the majority of side effects are mild and self limiting. Few serious side effects," said Ellen Wright Clayton, professor of pediatrics and chairman of the panel of scientists.

The panel of scientists that examined eight types of vaccine, ie MMR (measles-mumps-rubella), DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis), varicella, influenza, hepatitis B, meningococcal, tetanus and HPV vaccine.

These vaccines protect the host from diseases such as smallpox, mumps, whooping cough, hepatitis, diphtheria, tetanus, smallpox fire, and pneumococcal meningitis and cervical cancer.

Sekaligi again, the scientists found no evidence MMR vaccine causes autism or type 1 diabetes.

"DTaP vaccine does not cause type 1 diabetes and the flu vaccine does not cause Bell's palsy (temporary paralysis in the face) and does not cause asthma worse," said Clayton.

He added that the side effects that occur are usually temporary, such as spasms in the MMR vaccine but only in children who are suffering from high fever and then vaccinated. But the side effects briefly.

"The side effects are not long term and not a sign that the child will suffer from epilepsy," he said.

15 Signs of Cancer

Cancer is a scourge for anyone. This disease sometimes appear at any time and can affect anyone, without giving any symptoms or signs of anything.

Among the many types of cancer, there are no symptoms early in its development. Signs usually appear just after the cancer is growing rapidly. In fact, with alert and find the cancer early symptoms, course of treatment will be relatively easier.

If it's too late, the cancer can spread to various organs and complicate the healing process. Therefore, it helps us recognize some of the following symptoms of cancer. Symptoms of cancer are extremely diverse and can vary in every state and every patient. At least 15 cancer symptoms you need to watch out for:

1. Changes in the breast

In women in particular, the breast is one of the most private organ. It is important to check the condition of the breast regularly. Lumps, thickening and discoloration of the skin becomes red warrant concern as an indication of cancer. Itching, peeling skin, or rash on the breast for weeks also should be aware. Other changes such as swelling of the breast skin, the skin is drawn into or contract should also be suspected as a symptom.

For men, vigilance must be applied because breast cancer can strike even though this is rare. Any lumps in the breast should have to watch out for, especially if the discharge from the nipple.

2. Unusual pain

As age increases, the more often you feel the aches and pains. The pain is constant and the unusual can be a sign of cancer. Moreover, pain is not caused injury or illness has ever felt before.

Testicular cancer / testes often appear in men aged 20-39. Any changes to the size of the testis, either enlarged or reduced, should still watch out. Similarly, if there is swelling or feeling of heaviness in the scrotum. Sometimes testicular cancer can grow extremely fast, so it would be better if you know them as early as possible.

4. Changes in lymph nodes

5. Fever

In addition to marking a variety of diseases such as pneumonia, throat infections, fever can also indicate cancer. The American Cancer Society stated fever is one symptom that occurs in early-stage blood cancer, particularly leukemia or lymphoma. Often, fever occurs when the cancer has spread to other organs.

Weight loss is sudden (more than 10 percent of body weight) and beyond expectations without its own efforts in a short time should be aware. Usually drastic weight reduction is associated with colon cancer or cancer of other digestive organs.

7. Abdominal pain disorders and depression

Every man who suffered depression accompanied by abdominal pain disorders need to be examined further, since the experts found no relationship between depression and pancreatic cancer.

8. Excessively tired

Like a fever, excessive fatigue that does not improve with rest can also be one of the symptoms of cancer. This condition usually arises after developing cancer although it can occur also in the early phase as in leukemia or colon cancer.

9. Cough not go away

Cough is always associated with the flu and allergies. However, persistent cough in a long period, about three or four weeks should be considered because it could be a symptom of cancer or a sign of other problems like pneumonia - chronic pulmonary.

Eat Make You Sick

"Healthy or sick it is a choice", so the response I received from a note that I have ever written. "Yes, I agree with you", my answer to that comment. Indeed we ourselves are responsible for determining and even terhadapp our health status, want healthy or ill will. Unfortunately, if you look at the lifestyle now, consciously or not, we choose to hurt more than healthy

As an example, that we choose to be sick is to eat our own behavior. As I observed when it was breakfast at a restaurant in Kuta Beach area, most of the guests are foreign tourists. More than 80 percent of those who were having breakfast at that time, clearly only, which can be seen from their physical appearance that fat, big belly, bloated, both men and women are overweight and obesity.

And, yag more interesting to me is that eating behavior. In my heart murmur, here's an example of feeding behavior of their own choice that the result is pain.

To my child participating breakfast that morning, I said, "You see bule-bule that?", What is your comment about the doings of food they see themselves like that? ".." Yes sir ", replied my son. "They chose ill with eating behavior," my comments. "Then, look at that super fat Caucasians Pak", pointing to a Caucasian woman, aged approximately 40 years. I see, that Caucasians carrying two plates filled with a variety of food to the table to eat. Maybe all the food presented at breakfast that morning there were also in the two plate it.

While continuing to observe the bule-bule are again having breakfast, I accidentally saw three Caucasian people in the pool which was just outside the breakfast room that morning. One person was swimming breaststroke surrounding the pool side. I do not know how many times he mengelilnginya, I do not know. Two more people swim freestyle as a race from one edge to another edge of the pool was fairly large. "Hmmm, it's those who choose healthy, I muttered to myself." They swim while other friends vent their appetite.

I still had not moved from his seat, their behavior becomes interesting breakfast for me. Guests are super obese Caucasians use the term child-me-I look back to take food. One plate right hands full with a variety of bread, and in his left hand almost spilled a bowl with "coco-crunch".

Seeing the feeding behavior of Caucasians that morning, I remembered the joke of a speaker in a seminar that said, if you want to be sick, tirulah western lifestyle, live to the west, westerlies ... ... And, indeed, now that's what we do, our example and our select menu of western food, we forget the traditional food that much healthier. Not surprisingly, Indomesia population is overweight and obesity has begun to rise. Our children will too.

I then remember, the behavior of unhealthy eating, not only I saw in the restaurant at breakfast that morning. In a wedding, a similar phenomenon also occurs. Let us observe mealtime behavior in the invitation. First came the dinner table sought is our pleasure. Before the event started we sometimes are standing nearby. When it comes time to eat, we'll attack these foods.

We move from one table to another table. If we had Mersa bored or uncomfortable with our dipiring food, or we are seeing food on the table suartu better, according to our tastes, the food will we throw away and we will take another maknanan, yag seems more comfortable-we forget with our brothers who are still a lot of hunger and malnutrition-Before you leave, all the tables we visited, and the latter is usually a table fruit. We just remember to eat fruit when our stomachs are full, eat fruit alone was eventually only modest.

After long enough to sit in the breakfast room that morning, while bule-bule is still continuing his breakfast while chatting with her friends, I pull my child's hand, "let's go to the beach boy, our morning walk on the beach, we'll swim as well, such as the three Caucasian people who look healthy and vibrant it! ".

On the way to the beach, I imagine also by the doings of eating bule-bule, and behavior of some of us too, who eat not because they are hungry, need, need, but because indulge passions, seeing good food, no food is available, to the satisfaction , entertainment, prestige and so forth. And, we forgot seola though, that eating well can be the culprit of disease. We like also do not realize that eating will shape and define who we are.

Religion commanded, "eat, and drink, but do not overdo it." God does not like it. And, "Eat foods that are not only lawful, but also good." Unfortunately, once again we often ignore this commandment of God. It is not surprising, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus pose a threat and cause of death we are now.

Antibiotics are not the Super Drug

Some studies show, tend to excessive use of antibiotics and is generally given to diseases or conditions that do not require antibiotics.

Antibiotics are powerful drugs and have saved many lives. But the point is well known, antibiotics are not cure all ills. Antibiotics can only cure the diseases caused by bacterial infection.

"Use antibiotics appropriately to prevent immune germs," ​​says Prof. Iwan Prahasto, Professor of University of Gajah Mada in Farmakolgi workshop and briefing the media about drug prescribing patterns in Indonesia, especially antibiotics, Saturday (26 / 3) on the campus of the UI Depok, West Java.

In society, antibiotics are often purchased without a prescription and explanation. Communities often bought with a prescription antibiotic that had previously obtained, taking antibiotics for coughs, fevers and colds.

Furthermore, Iwan explained that the inappropriate use of antibiotics could endanger public health. A result that can be generated is the bacteria mutate so that it becomes resistant (immune) to antibiotics. Bacteria that are resistant or immune to these difficult attenuated by the usual antibiotics.

Iwan admitted, information on antibiotics so far not spread to medical personnel. "The unavailability of adequate information about drugs that are neutral is also one big problem for medical practitioners. Meanwhile, the information submitted directly by the pharmaceutical industry through dutanya is often misleading or misleading," he added.

Dr. Sharad Adhikary, representatives of WHO, emphasized that the treatment of infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria that normally would be very expensive. This is because what is needed is an antibiotic that is more up to date with the possible side effects of drugs is greater, and longer duration of treatment.

According to Sharad, the problem of resistance to antibiotics is not a new problem, but more and more alarming and dangerous. "We can go back to the era before antibiotics," he said.

Why can bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? Every time someone taking antibiotics, the sensitive bacteria will be killed. But resistant bacteria will continue to live, grow and reproduce.

The use of antibiotics repeatedly and incorrectly are the main cause of increase in the number of bacteria resistant to drugs. So, for those of you who have cough, flu and fever do not have to consume antibiotics. Because, by frequently taking antibiotics will not make you healthier, and will not make you better.
