[get relief from your allergies] 1. What Are Allergies?

Allergies are an abnormal response of the immune system. The immune system is your body’s defense against germs. All the unpleasant symptoms of an allergy attack are caused by your immune system acting on harmless substances as if they were dangerous. Your immune system is responding to a false alarm.

Allergies are a growing problem that affects at least 20% of people in the United States. Allergens are substances like pollen, mold or animal dander, that can cause a physical reaction. Your body becomes hypersensitive to things that don’t bother most people. How do you get allergies? You don’t “catch”allergies the way you catch a cold. No one yet knows why we become allergic. Scientists think both genes and the environment have something to do with it.”

Sam presents NEW !! Prevent and Cure Colon Cancer posted at Surfer Sam and Friends, saying, “Thanks for considering my work. Here’s a snippet…..

We know how to prevent and cure colon cancer. But colon cancer still killed over 56,000 men and women last year. Many of them didn’t have to die. Ninty percent of colon cancer can be prevented and cured. A simple exam called a colonoscopy can detect and remove the cause of colon cancer.

[prevent and cure colon cancer] 1. Prevent and Cure Cancer with a Colonoscopy

We know how to prevent and cure colon cancer with this simple, almost painless procedure called the colonoscopy. The colonoscopy is the gold standard for detecting colon cancer. It is an invaluable screening tool.

The actual procedure takes less than twenty minutes. You are sedated and may be asleep during the exam. A gastroenterologist or surgeon inserts a long flexible tube called a colonoscope into your rectum and guides it into the colon. A tiny video camera at the tip helps look for the tissue masses, called polyps. If one or more suspicious polyps are found, they are removed during the exam and biopsied. The majority of polyps can be removed with a wire loop, and small polyps can be destroyed just by touching them with an electrical current. Air may be introduced to extend the colon for better visibility. In most cases early colon cancer is prevented and cured by removing the colon polyps.

There is usually no pain and no complication from the procedure. There’s a low risk of bleeding when larger polyps are removed. And removing very large polyps, however, may require surgery.
[prevent and cure colon cancer] 2. What is Colon Cancer?

The colon comprises the upper 4 to 5 feet of your large intestine, and the rectum makes up the lower 6 inches. Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine, the lower part of your digestive system, called the large intestine and also called the colon.”

Mike Bergin presents Spix’s Macaw - the world’s rarest parrot posted at 10,000 Birds, saying, “This article, part of Parrot Month at 10,000 Birds, is about the critically endangered Spix’s Macaw - extinct in the wild since 2000.”

Aparna presents Uses of hair clippings-Best out of Waste posted at Beauty and Personality Grooming, saying, “What do you do of those hair clippings after you cut your hair? Some salons collect this unwanted pile of hair and send it for making wigs. But most of the time it is just tossed in the trashcan without giving a thought to the fact that it can be put to some use. Few months ago, The Daily Mail cited that researchers from North Carolina had discovered a way of extracting keratin from human hair and turning it into a gel to repair damaged nerves. For laymen, a way of recycling this unwanted spawn of follicles/human hair clippings is to sprinkle them around your garden; this deters snails, slugs and other unwanted pests from your vegetables/flowers as these creatures don’t like anything pricking their tender undercarriages. If you have birds nesting in your garden, you can leave this hair for them to use as a building material. Same goes for pet hair. And if you stuff hair in pincushions, the natural oil will stop the metal needles from rusting.”
