Cellulitis is not a very common disorder and so not much has been written about it. This blog is for all those seeking information on this disorder.
Cellulitis means infection of the skin tissue. This infection is usually caused by a bacterium called Staphylococcus aureus. Infection usually happens through a breach in the continuity of the skin as in cuts and wounds. It is seen more commonly in hospitals. Individuals with diabetes and weak immune systems are prone to develop Cellulitis.
Cellulitis presents with classical symptoms of redness, heat, swelling and pain in the affected part. It may also give rise to high fever.Antibiotics are usually effective in the treatment of Cellulitis. However, what matters most is a hygienic lifestyle. Wounds should be kept clean and bandages changed frequently to avoid contracting the infection.
Immediate medical attention should be sought because Cellulitis spreads very rapidly and can be life threatening.
Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth) is a communicable disease that is caused by infection with Candida, predominantly with Candida albicans, a fungus that represents the most common fungal pathogen affecting humans.
Under normal, healthy conditions, these microorganisms live in various parts of the body. Certain conditions such as decreased immunity can encourage them to divide and increase in number leading to infections, particularly in warm and moist areas of the body.
The root taken for this candida invasion is as follows:
Disruption of skin or mucosa -> candida enters the bloodstream -> penetrates the gastrointestinal wall -> massive colonization that releases a large number of organisms directly into the bloodstream.
Candidiasis is the most common form of infection in immunocompromised people.
What are the risk factors for Candidiasis Infection?
Some of the risk factors for Candidiasis are:
Bone marrow transplantation
Solid organ transplantation such as liver and kidney
Hematologic malignancies- cancer affecting blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes
Moist areas- Candidiasis infections generally occur in warm, moist parts of the body, such as underarms and genitals.
In the case of newborns, it affects the mouth (oral candidiasis) and diaper areas (diaper rash).
Vaginal candidiasis– as the name indicates, occurs in the vagina and is the most common form of vaginitis.
Oral candidiasis – this form of infection is more common in adults. The number of incidences of oral candidiasis increases with age. These infections can also occur around dentures, in skin folds under the breast and lower abdomen, nailbeds, and beneath other skin folds which are warm and moist.
Systemic candidal disease- In rare cases, some people may suffer from systemic candidal disease where the infection spreads through the bloodstream. This form of candidiasis can be fatal; killing up to 45% of the infected people.
Recurring candidiasis may be a sign of an underlying disorder such as diabetes, leukemia, or AIDS.
Candidiasis causes:
Yeast infection- in women, vaginal yeast infection is the most common reason for vaginal burning, itching, and discharges.
Compromised immunity- this is more common in people who are on cancer treatments, steroids or suffering from conditions such as AIDS.
Skin cuts and abrasions- skin cuts and abrasions allow the candida to enter the bloodstream directly.
Devices- certain external devices such as catheters and IV ports.
Candidiasis Signs and symptoms:
Vaginal candidiasis- in this condition there is thick white discharge from the vagina and itching in the surrounding area. It may be accompanied by burning urination and painful intercourse.
Oral candidiasis- thick white patches on top of the tongue, palate, or in the mouth. This is usually addressed as thrush.
Compromised immunity- they have symptoms that are similar to thrush but extend down the mouth to the esophagus and the tongue. This can cause painful ulcers around the GI system.

The term arthritis is used loosely as if it encompassed one entity, although over 100 types of arthritis have been identified.For millions of Americans, arthritis limits everyday movements such as walking, standing, or even holding a pencil.According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the effects of arthritis range from slight pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joints, to crippling and disabling discomfort.Arthritis affects people of all ages.The NIH reports that about 15% of the U.S. population has arthritis or a related disorder, and 200,000 children in the U.S. have some form of the disease.
Arthritis is an aggregate of illnesses whose common features include an inflammation of the joints, surrounding tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.Among the oldest known afflictions of human beings, it can affect virtually every part of the body: from the feet to the knees, back, shoulders, and fingers.There are three primary categories of arthritis, each with specific symptoms:Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis or Gout.Please click on the links to read more information and healing protocols for the specific type of arthritis you are referencing.
There are a variety of arthritic conditions, with the three most common forms of the disease being osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout.Less prevalent types of arthritis include psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and infectious arthritis.
Arthritis is caused by a variety of factors, including joint instability, injuries, age-related changes, toxins, microbes, altered biochemistry, hormonal factors, and genetic predisposition.Yet other environmental, psychological, dietary, and even dental factors have also been found to bring on the condition.In recent years, research conducted by rheumatologists and allergists has concluded that some patients can experience allergy-induced arthritis.
Stress can also be a major factor because it disrupts the body’s hormonal balance.Stress related changes in the chemical levels of cortisol can often lead to changes in the immune system.A weakened immune system allows certain bacteria to penetrate the body, possibly leading to forms of arthritis.This sequence often occurs in women undergoing menopause.
For thousands of years people have been in search of the fountain of youth.
Innumerable products and procedures have been put forth that claim to reverse the process of aging. Well then the big question still remains, is it possible to stop aging? For that we first need to understand why we age.
Aging is of 2 types: primary and secondary.
Primary aging is due to the changes that take place at the molecular level.
Secondary aging is due to lifestyle and dietary habits which one adapts.
We can prevent and reverse secondary aging.
The main aim of anti aging is to look good and stay fit for as many years as possible.
The most sought after solution is for wrinkles because that is the first indicator of aging. Women spend thousands of dollars in all sorts of treatments to get rid of them.
Markets are flooded with all sorts of creams and medications which claim to cure wrinkles. The most effective amongst them are natural products. These contain collagen which helps in curing wrinkles.
There are some formulations which contain anti oxidants like green tea which help in slowing the aging process.
The most natural substances are found in the food we eat. We should include a lot of fruits and vegetables in our daily diet regime.
Water is the biggest nutrient. We should drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated.
Natural cure for aging is the best and cheapest than any laser or Botox.

Allergy in simple terms means an abnormal reaction of the body to a substance which it is exposed to. It indicates a strong aversion or dislike to that particular substance called as allergen. The immune system considers this allergen as foreign to the body and in an attempt to protect the body starts to eradicate it. It produces antibodies which help in fighting the allergen. Continue reading Allergy: Understanding Causes, Symptoms and Treatments
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts negatively to substances that are normally considered harmless.Allergen exposure is the cause of allergic reactions.A protein is an allergen, which the body considers to be dangerous and foreign.Allergens can include certain foods, environmental toxins such as molds and mites, animal hair, pollens or other allergens.After being exposed to an allergy, the immune response releases antibodies that destroy the allergen. This sets in motion a series of complex events involving biochemicals.These chemicals can then cause inflammation or produce other allergy symptoms.Allergy symptoms can be mild or severe. If they are severe, prompt medical advice is required.
Allergy
Common allergic reactions include breathing congestion, red, scratchy, or bloodshot eyes, watery eyes, sneezing and coughing, itching nosebleeds or dark circles under eyes, puffy cheeks, flushing of the face, swelling of the face, hives or rashes, nausea, stomachache or swelling of the intestines.The more severe reactions can include constrictions of the bronchial tube ( asthma ) and difficulty in breathing, or even anaphylactic shock.
Allergies may also cause digestive distress, gas and indigestion.People who are sensitive may experience irritation in their mouth or tongue. The underlying causes for allergy are lifestyle and dietary factors, specifically imbalanced immune functions, barrier function defaults (such as the “leaky-gut” syndrome), toxic overload.These factors are responsible in different degrees for allergy and sensitivity.
Natural products can be used to boost your immune system without the need for pharmaceutical drugs.Natural Products will help you to address your allergies in a natural way, as well as show you lifestyle changes you can make that will improve your overall health.
