Posted on April 27, 2009 by Georgie

Malaria is an infectious blood disease caused by the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito that injects parasites into the bloodstream. This disease is reported to afflict 350-500 million people each year and causes over one million deaths. Malaria causes a high fever, joint pain, shivering, vomiting and anemia. If left untreated, it can result in severe medical complications or even death. Unfortunately, there are no vaccines against malaria though they are being researched and developed for testing.

All other areas have varying degrees of risk. If traveling to a high risk area, it is advisable to seek consultation with a physician for preventative medications.

Posted on November 27, 2008 by Sanora

Many people suffer from a host of symptoms but are told by Drs. that they can t find anything wrong with them or are misdiagnosed and put on treatments that are not working for them. The difficulty is that the medical profession denies the existence of candida and therefore cannot treat it. You may find the odd healthcare professional that knows about it and will prescribe something for it.

I must admit that when I first heard this concept, I thought it was kind of silly. However, sometimes desperation will make us re-think silly things; at least it did in my case. I was angry, depressed and tired. The way I was dealing with everyday troubles was not working well for me, so I thought I d give this a try. I had nothing to lose. I tried it and it worked like magic. I have since turned it into a game I play when things are not going my way: If ever things are not going the way you had planned. If ever you are having a challenging day. If ever you don t see a way out of a so-called bad situation. If ever you are sad about something. If ever you are feeling mad about something. If ever you just feel like giving...
