Okay, so it isn't the most glamorous disease in the world.  And yes, it is the butt of many jokes, no pun intended.  Take away the innuendo.  Remove the humor from the equation. What's left?  A serious, painful ailment.

The bottom line is that this is probably one of the most prevalent illnesses in the world.  It's also the least talked about.  Do you know that a huge percentage of people never even discuss it with their doctor?

They feel embarrassed and don't realize that at any given time there are millions of other hemorrhoid suffers who feel the same way.  Isn't it about time to set aside perceptions and start dealing with the problem directly?

The first step is to know exactly what hemorrhoids are and what they are not.  After all, how can you begin to deal with a problem without knowing what causes it.  The cause can be as complex as the ailment itself.

It's hard to believe that people would actually ignore something that important, doesn't it? But it happens. Thousands of people die every day of cancer related illness.

The sad thing is that many of those premature deaths could have been avoided with just a little bit of knowledge and early detection.

• That more women than men suffer from depression?
• That ten million Americans are affected by depression every year?

Depression is no laughing matter.  It is a serious debilitating disease that affects every facet of life for the sufferer.  Sadly it is also on the increase at an alarming rate.

Unfortunately many people with depression either go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to a lack of knowledge.  This is scary because for the depressed person life can become a living hell leading to serious consequences.

Taking the first step

The first step is discovering if you do suffer from depression.  The next step is understanding what depression is all about and how to deal with it.  

Most information about depression is written in technical terms and unless you are a trained therapist you will need a medical dictionary to decipher the content.  

What's really needed is a guide that is easy to read and understand.  That's where "DEPRESSION A Misunderstood DISEASE" comes in. It is unlike anything else out there that discusses depression.

It is easy to digest and understand.  But most importantly it gives you answers!  Answers to burning questions like these:

60 Tips to Live Better Using Holistic Remedies

General Holistic Health Tips

1. Improve your posture. It is important to keep your spine as straight as possible, so that your muscles do not strain and contract unnecessarily. Also, in order to keep energy circulating throughout your body, it is important to keep your spine straight and nerves unhindered.

2. Consider "trigger point massage" for pain relief. If you are plagued by continuous pain and conventional pain medicines are not working to help eliminate it, consider this special type of massage. It will help to not only ease the pain - but to eliminate its source as well.

3. Try acupuncture. Acupuncture is type of holistic/alternative medicine that has been commonly practiced in the eastern part of the world for thousands of years. Five thousand years ago, the intention of acupuncture was to prolong life. With many alternative medical techniques, the intention is to prevent rather than to cure a specific or general ailment. The oldest recorded practice of acupuncture was over 5,000 years ago. Basically, acupuncture is used to stimulate the nerves in the body and as a result positively affect all of the other bodily systems.

4. Try Reiki healing. Reiki is a healing art that uses the body's energy to begin and further the healing process. It is performed by using one's hands to follow a

It's that frantic hour. You've put in a full day at work, battled the crowds at the grocery store, picked up your three kids from daycare and just begun preparing the evening meal.

The kids are being. . .well, typical kids. "Mom, Billy took my crayon," "did not," he replies. Above the clamor you hear a persistent ringing of the doorbell. Drying your hands you manage to make your way to the door while dodging kids, toys and coats on the floor.

You open the door. Your blood runs cold when you see the state trooper on the front step. Before he opens his mouth to speak, somehow you know. Panic, fear and grief. . .gut wrenching grief, as the adrenaline surges through your body.

"No, no, no" you sob as the officer begins his painful report. "I am so sorry Mrs. Jones, but there's been an accident. Apparently your husband had a heart attack while driving home. . .is there anyone we can call?"

In the blink of an eye your entire life is turned upside down. It isn't until much later when it finally sinks in. After the funeral. After the friends and family have all departed and you are alone. . .totally, utterly alone.

Glancing around the kitchen you see the note on the refrigerator, "Joe, don't forget to make a doctor's appointment for a checkup." Sadly, he'll never have the chance.

Joe has become a statistic. He is now one of the 107 million American adults who had a blood cholesterol level high enough to require medical advice.

Did you know?

That over 600,000 people in the U.S.A. are affected by Deep Vein Thrombosis every year?

Also in the U.S.A., it is the second most frequent vascular disease.

Early detection can prevent escalation to pulmonary embolism.


Dear Reader,

Finding out too late that a loved one had a serious condition that could have been treated is devastating news.  Deep Vein Thrombosis, is one of those conditions.

Unless you have a history of Deep Vein Thrombosis, either for yourself or a loved one, you probably never even heard of the condition, let alone considered preventative measures.

Because many of the symptoms parallel other diseases DVT can be difficult to recognize and diagnose.  There's also no disguising the pain associated with it.

Maybe you or your loved one has experienced an illness that required complete bed rest.  Thinking you are doing just what the doctor ordered, imagine how horrifying it can be to suddenly discover that was the one thing that led to a blood clot rampaging through your body.

The damage resulting from an out of control clot should not be minimized.  A clot like this can journey toward the heart and make a convenient pit stop in the lungs.  The result?  That pulmonary embolism we addressed above.

According to MSNBC News "Colon Cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the United States."  And, "150,000 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease and 60,000 will die from the disease this year!"

Is colon cleansing a definitive answer to curing colorectal cancer?  Of course not.  If anyone tries to hype that to you, run the other way! "Snake oil salesmen" are still alive and well in this century!

What colon cleansing can do is rid our body of harmful toxins that build up in our bodies causing us extreme discomfort.

Okay, it may not be sexy to discuss constipation, irritable bowel syndrome or just plain gas.  However, if more people did explore these symptoms we'd be a much healthier population.

If you have ever suffered from gas or any of the other "unmentionable" symptoms, you need to read this guide.  A small investment in your time and a few pennies can give you life-altering information.

Did you know that your colon experiences a constant build up of toxic material?  The majority of foods we eat today contain preservatives which in turn are comprised of toxic chemicals.  

These components can build up over time and harden into an impacted film in the colon.  The result of this buildup reduces the body's ability to absorb nutrients. It lowers the metabolism and can result in unhealthy weight gain.
