What is Osteoporosis and What Do You Need to Know?
Most people have heard of osteoporosis. We know it has to do with bones becoming brittle and weak. Yet many of us don’t really know what it is. As we age it is important for everyone, especially women, to understand what osteoporosis is. Although the disease is not curable, we can take treatments to prevent further bone loss and prevent fractures.
What is osteoporosis?
Simply put, osteoporosis is a progressive disease of the bones. Our bones become less dense and more porous. Often the first sign will be a simple fall resulting in a broken bone. Another sign might be severe back pain from cracks in the spine known as compression fractures.

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.

How Can You Use Holistic Medicine to Treat a Serious Back Condition
You don’t need to be a Doctor to recognise that one of the main differences between “conventional medicine” (surgery and emergency procedures excluded) and Natural or Holistic Medicine is the assessment processes and delivery of treatment.
In simple terms, conventional medicine delivered by a Family Doctor or medical centre for example, has a tendency to treat the symptoms whereas natural medicine seeks first to understand the root cause. Both approaches can be equally effective if its relief from the symptoms you seek. However, the latter approach could not be effective unless the cause of the problem was diagnosed first.
