Bulimia Side Effects – The Effects of Bulimia on Your Health – Nurse’s Guide
Between six and ten million adolescent and teenage girls and women have eating disorders. More than one million males have an eating disorder and the numbers are rising. Eating disorder treatment doctors and centers have become increasingly common.
The three most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. They are all thought to be due to a coping mechanism. These disorders all involve an obsession with food and/or with weight. Guilt and anxiety about eating can cause adverse effects on an eating disorder patient’s health, both physical and psychological.

Understanding the Threats of Leukemia
Good news for those who need treatments for leukemia: new research reveals that Parthenolide, a compound present in the Feverfew plant, could kill leukemia stem cells without harming healthy blood cells. It was found out that after 18 hours, leukemia cells exposed to Parthenolide was destroyed. This is better than Cytaribine, a common drug used in chemotherapy, because Cytaribine is known to decrease blood cells within the bone marrow. Parthenolide may also make cancerous cells more sensitive to cancer-fighting agents so that destruction of these may be speeded up. With a little modification and testing, it would be an effective cure against this dreaded disease.
In Ayurveda, Leukemia is viewed as an imbalance which results from the failure of the digestive system. The food is not ingested and broken down properly. This creates a poisonous slime which circulates in the body and kills the healthy parts in it. To remedy this, the three elements of vata, pitta and kapha present in the body must be rebalanced. This can be done through a balanced diet. Eating raw fruit and vegetables purifies the toxins in the digestive system. Also, a relaxed lifestyle will do wonders, along with proper sleep and exercise. By doing these, the toxins will be removed, the balance restored and positive energies are freer to heal the body.

What is Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery?
This is a type of heart surgery. It’s sometimes called CABG (”cabbage”). The surgery reroutes, or “bypasses,” blood around clogged arteries to improve blood flow and oxygen to the heart.
The arteries that bring blood to the heart muscle (coronary arteries) can become clogged by plaque (a buildup of fat, cholesterol plus other substances). This can then slow or stop blood flow through the heart’s blood vessels, leading to chest pain or a heart attack. Increasing blood flow to the heart muscle can relieve chest pain and also reduce the risk of heart attack.
Surgeons take a segment of a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body, and then make a detour around the blocked part of the coronary artery. An artery may be detached from the chest wall and the open end attached to the coronary artery below the blocked area. Or a piece of a long vein in your leg may be taken. One end is sewn onto the large artery leaving your heart – the aorta. The other end of the vein is attached or “grafted” to the coronary artery below the blocked area.
