Prostate-Disorders

Prostate-Disorders :: Prostate gland is composed of both muscular and glandular tissues. It is firmly attached to the pelvis by a dense fascial sheath. Like all muscular and glandular tissues in the body, it is adequately supplied with blood vessels, arteries, veins and nerves. The gland plays an important role in normal sexual life and its function is to secrete a fluid which is added to semen during sexual intercourse. Nearly one-third of all men over 50 years suffer from prostate troubles of one form or another. The percentage rises with age and reaches 75 after the age of 80 years. Prostate and bladder disorders can lead to numerous other, ailments such as arthritis, kidney disorders and uremia. It is, therefore of utmost importance to detect the disease in its early stages and commence treatment. Enlargement of the prostate gland or hypertrophy is the most common complaint affecting the gland. This occurs mostly in men of middle or advanced age. The enlargement develops so gradually over a long period that it often assumes serious proportions before it is detected. Symptoms :: There are two warning signals to indicate the possibility of prostate disorders. The first is the interference with the passage of urine and the second is the need to void the urine frequently during the night's sleep. Other symptoms are a dull aching pain in the lower back and pain in the hips, legs and feet. Prostate enlargement affects the glandular system as a whole. The patient experiences all the symptoms of disturbed health such as lack of energy and physical, nental and nervous disturbances. Causes :: The position of the prostate gland makes it liable to congestion and other disorders. In an erect position, pressure falls on the pelvic region just where the prostate gland is situated. With ageing, the body gets heavier and loses its flexibility which makes the pressure on the pelvis even greater and increases the vulnerability of the prostate gland. Prolonged periods of sitting down, as in certain occupations, also increases the pressure on the pelvic 1 region resulting in congestion of the tissues in and around the prostate gland. With the passage of time, changes such as inflammation or enlargement occur in the gland. Acute prostatitis may also result from exposure to cold and chill and from an infectious disease. Chronic prostatitis is an after-effect of the acute condition. It may also result from continual irritation of the gland due to excessive sexual excitement. Another important cause of prostate disorders is constipation. Treatment :: The natural treatment for prostate enlargement consists of detoxicating the system by proper fasting and diet. To begin with, the patient should forgo all solid foods and subsist on orange juice and water only, for two or three days. The intake of water should be as plentiful as possible. The water may be taken cold or hot and it should be taken every hour or so when awake. This will greatly increase the flow of urine. A warm water enema should be taken once daily during this period to clear the lower bowel of accumulations.

Diabetes

Diabetes :: Diabetes mellitus is a nutritional disorder, characterised by an abnormally elevated level of blood glucose and by the excretion of the excess glucose in the urine. It results from an absolute or relative lack of insulin which leads to abnormalities in carbohydrates metabolism as well as in the metabolism of protein and fat. The most commonly-used screening tests are the determination of the fasting blood glucose level and the two-hour postprandial, that is, after a meal. The normal fasting blood sugar content is 80 to 120mg. per 100ml. of blood and this can go up to a level of 180mg. per 100ml. of blood two hours after meals. Anything above these norms can be termed diabetic levels. Comments :: The most obvious benefit of the dhanur-asana is that it restores flexibility to the spine. Regular practice will relieve lower back pain and release tension and strain in the upper back and neck area. The alternating stretching and releasing of the abdominal muscles increases blood flow to this area and aids all sorts of digestive disorders and discomforts. Strain or fatigue in the legs is also released after a few repetitions. Extended practice will help develop upper-body strength. Causes :: Diabetes has been described by most biological doctors as a "prosperity" disease, primarily caused by systematic over eating and consequent obesity. Not only the overeating of sugar and refined carbohydrates, but also of proteins and fats, which are transformed into sugar, if taken in excess, is harmful and may result in diabetes. Too much food taxes the pancreas and eventually paralyses its normal activity. Grief, worry and anxiety also have a deep influence on the metabolism and may cause sugar to appear in the urine. Treatment :: Any successful method for treatment of diabetes should aim at removal of the actual cause of the disease and i building up of the whole health-level of the patient. Diet plays a vital role in such a treatment. The primary dietary consideration for a diabetes patient is that he should be a strict lactovegetarian and take a low-calorie, low-fat, alkaline diet of high quality natural foods. Fruits, nuts and vegetables, whole meal bread and dairy products form a good diet of the diabetic. These foods should be eaten in as r dry a condition as possible to ensure thorough ensalivation during the first part of the process of digestion. Cooked starchy foods should be avoided as in the process cooking the cellulose envelopes of the starch granules I burst and consequently, the starch is far too easily absorbed in the system. The excess absorbed has to be got rid of by the kidneys and appears as sugar in the urine. With raw starchy foods, however, the saliva and digestive juices in the small intestine regulate the quantities required to be changed into sugar for the body's needs. The unused and undigested portion of raw starchy foods does not become I injurious to the system, as it does not readily ferment.

Anaemia

Anaemia may be described as a condition in which there is a decrease in the quantity of haemoglobin, in the number of red cells, in the volume of packed cells, or in a combination of these. The World Health Organisation defines it as a condition in which haemoglobin concentration, or the number of red blood cells, is below the level which is normal for a given individual. Anaemia is particularly common in old people who are sick. It is also not rare in apparently healthy old people. Evidence, however, shows that the incidence of anaemia is much higher in sick and neglected elderly people than in the healthy, presumably due to dietary deficiency. Symptoms :: The patient usually complains of weakness, easy fatigue, lack of energy and dizziness. Other symptoms include a haggard look, premature wrinkles, dull and tired looking eyes, poor memory, shortness of breath on exertion, headache, slow healing of wounds, palpitation of heart and mental depression. The skin and mucous membranes look I pale, and nails appear brittle and there may be sores at the corners of the mouth. Causes :: Low formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow,either due to defects in the bone marrow or to an inadequate intake of iron, vitamin and protein, is one of the main causes of anaemia. Another important cause is heavy loss of blood due to injury and other conditions. Other causes include lack of digestive acid or hydrochloric acid needed for digestion of iron and proteins and emotional strain, anxiety and worry which interferes with the manufacture of hydrochloric acid in the body. Nutritional factors play an important role in causing anaemia in the elderly. Treatment :: Diet is of utmost importance in the treatment of anaemia. Refined foods like white bread, polished rice, sugar and desserts rob the body of the much-needed iron. Iron should always be taken in its natural organic form in food as the use of inorganic iron can prove hazardous. It may cause destruction of protective vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids, serious liver damage, miscarriage during pregnancy and delayed or premature birth in younger females. The diet should be predominantly alkaline. The emphasis should be on raw fruits and vegetables which are rich in iron. Iron-rich vegetables are spinach, green onions, squash, carrots, ralishes, beets, celery, yams, tomatoes and potatoes (with jackets). Fruits which are rich in iron are bananas, apples, dark grapes, apricots, plums, raisins and strawberries. Bananas are particularly beneficial as they also contain, besides easily assimilable iron, folic acid and B12, both of which are extremely useful in the treatment of anaemia.

Jaundice

Jaundice is the most common of all liver disorders. It is a condition in which yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes occurs due to an increase in the bile pigments, bilirubin, in the blood. The bile, produced by the liver, is a vital digestive fluid which is essential for proper nutrition. It exercises a most favourable influence on the general processes of digestion. It also prevents decaying changes in food. If the bile is prevented from entering the intestines, there is an increase in gases and other products. Normally, the production of bile and its flow is constant. There are three forms of jaundice. These are; haemolyptic jaundice due to excessive destruction of red blood cells, resulting in increased bilirubin formation and anaemia; obstructive jaundice which occurs when there is a block to the pathway between the site of conjugation of bilirubin in the liver cells and the entry of bile into the duodenum; and hepatocellular jaundice, resulting from damage to liver cells either by viral infection or by toxic drugs. All the three forms are marked by yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes. Jaundice in old age is most commonly obstructive. It is perhaps the most common single problem associated with hepatobiliary diseases in the elderly. Symptoms :: The symptoms of jaundice are extreme weakness,headache, fever, loss of appetite, undue fatigue, severe constipation, nausea and yellow coloration of the eyes, tongue, skin and urine. The patients may also feel a dull pain in the liver region. Obstructive jaundice may be associated with intense itching. Causes :: Jaundice is indicative of the malfunctioning of the liver. It may be caused by an obstruction of the bile ducts which discharge bile salts and pigment into the intestine. The bile then gets mixed with blood and this gives a yellow pigmentation to the skin. The obstruction of the bile ducts could be due to gall-stones or inflammation of the liver, known as hepatitis, caused by a virus. In the latter case, the virus spreads and may lead to epidemics owing to overcrowding, dirty surroundings, insanitary conditions and contamination of food and water. Other causes of jaundice are pernicious anaemia and certain diseases affecting the liver such as typhoid, malaria, yellow fever and tuberculosis. Gall-stones are most often responsible for this disease in old age. Treatment :: The simple form of jaundice can be cured rapidly by diet therapy and exercise. Recovery will, however, be slow in serious cases which have been caused by obstruction or pressure in the bile ducts. The patient should rest until the acute symptoms of the disease subside.

Gall-Bladder Disorders

The gall-bladder is a pear-shaped organ, 10 cm. long and three to five cm. wide, attached to the under-surrace of the liver on the right side. The main function of the gallbladder is to store the bile secreted by the liver. Bile is an excretion composed mainly of bile salts and acids, colour pigments and cholesterol. It assists in the digestion and absorption of fats and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, minerals and calcium. The main problems which afflict the gall-bladder are an inflammatory condition known as cholecystitis and gallstones. Gall-stones are usually caused by disturbances in the composition of the bile. A change in the ratio of cholesterol and bile salts may result in the formation of deposits. At the start, these may be in the form of fine gravels. But these fine particles constitute the nucleus for further deposits, ultimately leading to the formation of larger stones. An irritation of the lining of the gall-bladder due to inflammation may also lead to the formation of particles. The incidence of gall-stones is higher in females than males, particularly in the obese. Symptoms :: The major symptom of gall-bladder disease is acute or intermittent epigastric pain. Indigestion, gas, a feeling of fullness after meals, constipation, nausea and disturbed vision are the other usual symptoms. Intolerance to fats, dizziness, jaundice, anaemia, acne and other lesions may also occur. Varicose veins, haemorrhoids and breakdown of capillaries are also disorders associated with gall-bladder troubles. Causes :: The association of gall-bladder disease with obesity together with their reported rarity in primitive people, living on simple diets, suggest that dietary factors play a major role in the development of this disease. The main cause of gall-bladder disorders is overnutrition caused by refined carbohydrates, especially sugar as the loss of fibre removes a natural barrier to energy intake. Overnutrition also leads to increased cholesterol secretion. Meals rich in fats may cause an attack of gall-bladder pain or gall-stone colic. Chronic constipation is a most important predisposing factor. Poor health, hereditary factors, stress, spinal displacements, bad posture and muscular tension may also cause gall-bladder disorders. The Chinese link the gall-bladder disorders with the emotion of anger. Treatment :: Surgery becomes necessary if the gall-stones are very large or in cases in which they have been present for long. Smaller gall-stones can, however, be cleared through dietetic cure. In cases of acute gall-bladder inflammation, the patient should fast for two or three days, until the acute condition is cleared. Nothing but water should be taken during the fast. After the fast, the patient should take fruit and vegetable juices for few days. Carrot, beet, grapefruit, pear, lemon or grapes may be used for juicing.

Cirrhosis of the Liver

The liver is one of the most important organs in the body. It serves as a combination of manufacturing plant, chemical laboratory and storehouse of nutrients. It produces many vital elements and pours them into the blood stream, or stores until needed. Some of its functions are the production and storage of substances essential to the manufacture of red blood cells, the elimination of poisons and protein and the regulation of the numerous by products of protein metabolism, the storage of sugar, the storage and utilisation of fats, the control of cholesterol metabolism, and the production of bile acids, bile salts, and substances important for blood coagulation. Cirrhosis of the liver is one of the most serious diseases of liver. It refers to all forms of liver disease characterised by a significant loss of cells. This disease is quite common in old age. Symptoms :: In the early stages of the disease, there may be nothing more than frequent attacks of gas and indigestion, with occasional nausea and vomiting. There may be some abdominal pain and loss of weight. In the advanced stage, the patient develops a low grade fever. He has a foul breath, jaundiced skin and distended veins in the abdomen. Reddish hairlike markings, resembling small spiders, may appear on the face, neck, arms and trunk. The abdomen becomes bloated and swollen, the mind gets clouded and there may be considerable bleeding from the stomach. Causes :: Excessive use of alcohol over a long period is the most potent cause of cirrhosis of the liver. It has been estimated that one out of 12 chronic alcoholics in the United States develops cirrhosis. The disease can progress to end-stage of hepatic failure, if the person does not abstain from alcohol. Cirrhosis appears to be related to the duration of alcohol intake and the quantity consumed daily. Recent researches indicate that the average duration of alcohol intake to produce cirrhosis is 10 years and the dose is estimated to be in excess of 16 ounces of alcohol daily. Treatment :: The patient should be kept in bed. He must abstain completely from alcohol in any form. He should undergo an initial liver cleaning programme with a juice fast for five to seven days. Freshly-extracted juices from red beets, lemon, papaya and grapes may be taken during this period. This may be followed by the fruit and milk diet for two or three-week.
