WHAT IS OTC PRODUCT ?

2012-01-17T01:13:00.000-08:00

Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medicines that may be sold directly to a consumer without a prescription from a healthcare professional, as compared to prescription drugs, which may be sold only to consumers possessing a valid prescription. In many countries, OTC drugs are selected by a regulatory agency to ensure that they are ingredients that are safe and effective when used without a physician's care. OTC drugs are usually regulated by active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), not final products. By regulating APIs instead of specific drug formulations, governments allow manufacturers freedom to formulate ingredients, or combinations of ingredients, into proprietary mixtures.[1]

The term over-the-counter may be somewhat counter-intuitive, since, in many countries, these drugs are often located on the shelves of stores like any other packaged product. In contrast, prescription drugs are almost always passed over a counter from the pharmacist to the customer. Some drugs may be legally classified as over-the-counter (i.e., no prescription is required), but may only be dispensed by a pharmacy employee after an assessment of the patient's needs and/or the provision of patient education. In many countries, a number of OTC drugs are available in establishments without a pharmacy, such as general stores, supermarkets, gas stations, etc. Regulations detailing the establishments where drugs may be sold, who is authorized to dispense them, and whether a prescription is required vary considerably from country to country.

The Human Digestive System

2010-08-31T08:10:00.000-07:00

The Human Digestive System
DEFINITIONS
Digestive system (from mouth to anus) function as follows: - Receive food - Break down food into nutrients (a process called digestion) - Absorb nutrients into the bloodstream - Discard the food that can not be digested from the body.
Alimentary canal consists of mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum and anus. Digestive system also includes the organs that are located outside of the digestive tract, ie pancreas, liver and gallbladder.
Alimentary canal
Mouth, Throat & throat
The mouth is the entrance to the digestive system and respiratory system. Part dalamdari mouth covered by a mucous membrane.
Tract from salivary glands in the cheeks, under the tongue and under the jaw drain its contents into the mouth. On the floor of the mouth there are tongues, yangberfungsi to taste and mix food.
Behind and below the mouth there are throat (pharynx).
Taste felt by sensitive organs located on the surface of the tongue. Smell is felt by the olfactory nerve in the nose. Taste is relatively simple, consisting of sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Smell is more complicated, consisting of a variety of odors.
Food is cut into pieces by the front teeth (incisive) and chewed by the back teeth (molars, molars), into smaller parts more easily digested. Saliva from the salivary glands going to wrap the parts of the food with digestive enzymes and begin digesting it.
At mealtimes, the flow of saliva to clean the bacteria that can cause tooth decay and other disorders. Saliva also contains antibodies and enzymes (eg lysozyme), which breaks down protein and attack the bacteria directly.
The process of swallowing begins to consciously and continues automatically. Epiglotis will be closed so that food does not get into the air pipe (trachea) and into the lungs, whereas the rear part of the roof of the mouth (palate mole, soft palate) raised so food does not enter into the nose.
Gullet (esophagus) is a muscular channel thin-walled and lined by mucous membrane. Esophagus connects the throat with the stomach. Food through the esophagus is not driven by gravity, but by the waves of rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles is called peristalsis.

Hull is a hollow muscular organ shaped like a cage big and donkeys, consists of three parts, namely the cardia, fundus and antrum.
Food into the stomach from the esophagus through a ring-shaped muscle (sphincter), which can open and close. Under normal circumstances, re-entry of sphincter prevents stomach contents into the esophagus.
Gastric functions as a food warehouse, which is rhythmic contractions to mix food with enzymes. The cells lining the stomach produce three important substances: - Mucus - Hydrochloric acid - Precursor of pepsin (enzymes that break the protein). The mucus protects the stomach cells from damage by stomach acid and enzymes. Any defects in this mucus layer (whether due to infection by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori or aspirin), can cause damage that leads to the formation of ulcers.
Hydrochloric acid creates an atmosphere that is very acidic, which is required by pepsin to break down proteins. High gastric acidity also acts as a barrier against infection by killing the bacteria. Disposal of acid is stimulated by: - The nerve that leads to the stomach - Gastrin (a hormone released by the stomach) - Histamine (a substance that is released by the stomach).
Pepsin is responsible for approximately 10% protein solution. Pepsin is the only enzyme that digests collagen, which is a protein and the main content of the meat.
Only a few substances that can be directly absorbed from the stomach (such as alcohol and aspirin) and that too only in very small quantities.
Gastric Parts
Small intestine
Gastric release of food into duodenum (duodenum), which is the first part of the small intestine. Food into the duodenum through the pyloric sphincter in the amount that can be digested by the intestine. If it is full, the duodenum to the stomach sends a signal to stop flow of food.
The duodenum receives pancreatic enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. Fluid (which enter into the duodenum through a hole called the sphincter Oddi) is an important part of the process of digestion and absorption. Peristaltic movement also helps digestion and absorption by stirring and mixing it with substances produced by the intestine.
The first few inches of the duodenum is a slippery coating, but the remainder have folds, small bumps (villi) and a smaller bulge (microvilli). Villi and microvilli increase the surface of the layer causing the duodenum, thereby increasing the amount of nutrients absorbed.
The rest of the small intestine, located below the duodenum, jejunum and ileum consists of. This section is primarily responsible for the absorption of fat and other nutrients. This absorption is magnified by the surface area because of folds, villi and microvilli.
Intestinal wall is rich in blood vessels that carry substances that are absorbed into the liver through the portal vein. Intestinal wall to release mucus (which lubricate the gut content) and water (which helps dissolve the fragments of the digested food). Intestinal wall is also releasing a small amount of enzyme that digests protein, sugar and fat.
Density of intestinal contents change gradually, in line with its journey through the small intestine. In the duodenum, the water quickly pumped into the intestine to dissolve the contents of gastric acidity. When I passed the bottom of the small intestine, intestinal contents become more fluid because it contains water, mucus and pancreatic enzymes.
Anatomy of the Stomach and small intestine contents
Pancreas
Pancreas is an organ which consists of two basic networks: - Asini, produce digestive enzymes - Island of the pancreas, produce hormones. Pancreas to release digestive enzymes into the duodenum and release hormones into the blood.
Digestive enzymes produced by cells asini and flows through various channels into the pancreatic duct. Pancreatic duct joins the bile duct will be on the sphincter Oddi, both of which will enter into the duodenum.
Enzymes released by the pancreas to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Proteolytic enzymes break down the protein into a form that can be used by the body and released in an inactive form. These enzymes will only be active if it has reached the digestive tract. Pancreas as well as releasing large amounts of sodium bicarbonate, which serves to protect the duodenum by neutralizing stomach acid.
Three hormones produced by the pancreas are: - Insulin, which serves lower blood sugar levels - Glucagon, which serves to increase blood sugar levels - Somatostatin, which functions both inhibit the release of other hormones (insulin and glucagon).
Heart
Liver is a large organ and has many functions, some of which are associated with digestion.
Nutrients from food are absorbed into the intestinal wall that is rich in blood vessels are small (capillary). This capillary blood flow into the veins that join larger veins and eventually enter the liver as the portal vein. Vena porta divided into small vessels in the liver, where the incoming blood is processed.
The blood is processed in two ways: - Bacteria and other foreign particles that are absorbed from the intestine removed - Various nutrients are absorbed from the intestine is broken down further so that it can be used by the body. Heart perform these processes at high speed, after the blood is enriched with nutrients, the blood flowed into the general circulation.
Liver produces about half of all the cholesterol in the body, the rest comes from food. Approximately 80% of cholesterol produced in the liver is used to make bile. The liver also produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder.
Bile duct and gallbladder
Bile flow from the liver through the ducts hepatikus left and right, which subsequently merged to form common duct hepatikus. This tract was later merged with a channel originating from the gallbladder (cystic duct) to form the common bile duct. Pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct and into the duodenum.
Before eating, bile salts accumulate in the gallbladder and bile that flows only slightly from the liver. The food in the duodenum triggers a series of hormonal signals and neural signals that gallbladder contraction. As a result, bile flows into the duodenum and mix with food.
Bile has two important functions: - Helps digestion and absorption of fat - Serve in the disposal of certain wastes from the body, especially the destruction of hemoglobin from red blood cells and excess cholesterol.
Specifically bile plays a role in various processes follows: - Bile salts increase the solubility of cholesterol, fat and fat-soluble vitamins to help the absorption process - Bile salts stimulate the release of water by the colon to help move the contents - Bilirubin (bile pigment from the main) thrown into the bile as waste from the destroyed red blood cells - Drug and other wastes dumped in the bile and subsequently removed from the body - Various proteins that play a role in the function in the gall bladder removed.
Bile salts are absorbed back into the small intestine, distilled by the liver and fed back into the bile. This circulation is known as enterohepatik circulation. All of the bile salts in the body circulate as much as 10-12 times per day. In each circulation, a small amount of bile salts into the large intestine (colon). In the colon, bacteria break down the various elements of bile salts into the principal. Some of these constituents are absorbed back and the rest disposed of with feces.
Colon
Large intestine consists of: - Ascending colon (right) - Transverse colon - Descending colon (left) - Sigmoid colon (corresponding to the rectum).
Appendix (appendectomy) is a small protrusion shaped like a tube, which is located in the ascending colon, ascending colon on the border with the small intestine.
Colon produces mucus and serves to absorb water and electrolytes from the feces.
When we reach the large intestine, intestinal contents as a liquid, but when it reaches the rectum into solid form.
The number of bacteria present in the large intestine functions to digest some of the material and helps the absorption of nutrients. Bacteria in the colon also serves to make essential substances, such as vitamin K. The bacteria are essential for normal function of the intestine. Some diseases and antibiotics can cause interference with the bacteria in the intestine. The result is irritation that could cause the release of mucus and water, and there was diarrhea.
Rectum & Anus
The rectum is a room that starts from the tip of the large intestine (after sigmoid colon) and ends at the anus. Normally the rectum is empty because the faeces is stored in a higher place, namely the descending colon. If the full descending colon and feces into the rectum, then arose the desire to urinate besar.Orang adults and older children who could resist this desire, but infants and younger children have deficiencies in muscle control necessary to postpone defecation .
The anus is a hole in the tip of the digestive tract, where waste material out of the body. Most of the anus is formed from the body surface (skin) and partly from the intestine. A muscular ring (sphincter ani) keep the anus closed.

About Dong Quai on Nature Pristine PMS Formula

2010-07-22T06:05:00.000-07:00

All about balance

Hormones play a vital role in every woman's health and well-being. Every month, the female hormones estrogen and progesterone are produced. The ratio between these two hormones, as well as the quantities produced by the body, can vary throughout the menstrual cycle… as well as during perimenopause and menopause.

This is perfectly normal, and will result in various changes in mood, skin and hair growth, as well as in menstruation itself. One of the major hormones affecting the brain, the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone, alters the functioning of the hypothalamus-- which in turn affects the pituitary gland, which then affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus.

Women of all ages may experience hormonal changes, often with symptoms becoming evident in their late twenties through their forties. Many women also experience symptoms of hormonal change during their premenstrual cycle.

The natural way

Hormonal balance during a woman's life may be influenced by a variety of factors such as nutrition, diet, lifestyle, exercise, stress, emotions, age and ovulation.

Natural remedies also have a long history of use in promoting femalereproductive health and hormonal balance - assisting women throughout the ages to stay healthy before and during the menstrual cycle, as well as during the perimenopause and menopause without unwanted side effects. (Burke BE, Olson RD. Cusack BJ. "Randomized, controlled trial of phytoestrogen in the prophylactic treatment of menstrual migraine." Biomed.Pharmacother. 2002;56(6):283-288.)

What is Dong Quai?

Dong Quai, one of the most important of the Chinese tonic herbs, is used as a nourishing blood tonic and to support the menstrual cycle.Dong Quai has been used for centuries by Asian healers to supportbalance of female hormones and to promote hormonal health during the menopause and perimenopause. More recently, clinical research has confirmed the effectiveness of this tonic herb.

What are the Ingredients?

Dong Quai contains the following ingredients:

Dong Quai (Angelica Sinesis) is a powerful Chinese tonic herb which has an adaptogenic effect on the female hormonal system. Our remedy contains Angelica Sinesis in its 100% pure form. Angelica Sinesis has been studied for its ability to support the female menstrual cycle. (Zhiping H, Dazeng W, Lingyi S, et al. "Treating amenorrhea in vital energy-deficient patients with angelica sinensis-astralagus membranaceus menstruation-regulating decoction." J Trad Chin Med 2002;6(3):187-190.)

About Folic Acid

2010-07-22T05:49:00.000-07:00

Folic acid, or also known as vitamin B9 is one of the few nutrients known to prevent birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. Why do pregnant women need folic acid? Folic acid deficiency in pregnant women, based on biased research caused birth defects in babies. The baby had defects in the brain and spinal cord. Folic acid deficiency causes the baby is born with cleft bibr, low-weight babies, Down syndrome and recurrent miscarriage. Another abnormality is impaired infants and small bowel, the child could not walk upright and high emotion. In girls as adults do not experience menstruation.

In pregnant women folic acid deficiency causes an increased risk of maternal anemia so easily tired, tired, lethargic and pale. An estimated half of all birth defects can be prevented if pregnant women consume folic acid with the correct amount, whether through foods containing folic acid or through supplements. Is disability due to deficiency of folic acid? Usually severe disorder that occurs in newborns due to folic acid deficiency during pregnancy is known in medicine as a Neutral tube defects / NTD / neural tube abnormalities. Disorder is the result of neural tube closure does not occur at the top (Meningokel) or the lower end (spina bifida) in the third or fourth week or the fourth (day 16 until day 28) after conception.

How big is the incidence of NTD? The incidence and recurrence risk for NTD empirical figures vary from 7.5 to 11.6 per 10 000 live births. In Indonesia there is no data for how the prevalence of spinal cord abnormalities pekit. For NTD recurrence prevention, in clinical studies involving 1195 high-risk pregnant women from 33 research centers, reported a 72% lower NTD cases among children in the group given folic acid than those who were not given folic acid. Recurrence rate decreased from 3.5% to 1% in women who were randomly assigned to 4 mg of folic acid before pregnancy and during the first six weeks of pregnancy. Results in the group using the vitamins without folic acid is similar to the results of the group who did not use vitamins with risk of recurrence of 3.5%.

Because of the importance of this one substance, folic acid requirements for pregnant women should be prepared since before becoming pregnant. If starting at one month prior to pregnancy and the first three months of pregnancy will reduce the burden of the risk of babies born to the NTD of more than 70 per cent.

To get folic acid, pregnant women should consume foods containing folic acid in sufficient quantities. Beef liver, broccoli, oranges and spinach in addition to bread and milk. Needs folic acid for pregnant women of childbearing age and 400 mcg / day or equal to two glasses of milk.

How high risk women experiencing complications of pregnancy with NTD? This group includes women who never had children or a fetus with NTD, an insulin-dependent diabetes (type I), epilepsy and the use of acid to mengatsai carbamazepin valporik or convulsions and mothers who used folic acid antagonists (Amniopterin, metotrexate). Recommended dosage of folic acid with 0.4 to 1.0 mg did not provide the harmful effects in the developing fetus or the mother who conceived him. Folic acid can dissolve in water and the excess will be excreted through urine. The impact of excessive use of folic acid (over 1 mg) is unknown, but may cover the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency. Folic acid rarely have an allergic response, but the reaction may be erythema, rash, itching-Gata;, malaise and broncschospasm / sense of choking. When assessed folic acid intake through foods is inadequate, usually an obstetrician or midwife where the mother consulted will prescribe additional folic acid supplementation either through diet or supplement proven to reduce or minimize certain birth defects. Dose of folic acid should be adjusted based on patients needs and history.

Consumption of bilberries may reduce the levels of glucose in the blood, and provide a means of reducing the risk of diabetes, say the results of a study from Japan.

2010-07-07T09:28:00.000-07:00

By Stephen Daniells, 17-Feb-2010

Consumption of bilberries may reduce the levels of glucose in the blood, and provide a means of reducing the risk of diabetes, say the results of a study from Japan.

The potential anti-diabetes effects of the berries are linked to the anthocyanin content, which may affect the action of various proteins involved in the glucose transport and fat metabolism, according to findings published in The Journal of Nutrition.

With the number of people are affected by diabetes in the EU 25 projected to increase to 26 million by 2030, up from about 19 million currently – or 4 per cent of the total population –approaches to reduce the risk of diabetes are becoming increasing attractive.

If further studies, particularly in humans, support the potential benefits of bilberries it could see an interesting addition to the market.

The statistics are even more startling in the US, where almost 24 million people live with diabetes, equal to 8 per cent of the population. The total costs are thought to be as much as $174 billion, with $116 billion being direct costs from medication, according to 2005-2007 American Diabetes Association figures.

Study details

Led by Takanori Tsuda from Chubu University, the Japanese researchers looked at how bilberries may influence glucose and lipid metabolism in mice with a genetic predisposition for diabetes. The animals were fed a diet with or without supplemental bilberry extract (27 g/kg diet, Tama-Biochemicals, Japan) for five weeks.

At the end of the study, the results showed that consumption of the bilberry extract was associated with lower blood glucose levels and increased insulin sensitivity. This was linked to an activation of a protein which stimulates lipid breakdown in liver and muscle and modulates insulin secretion by the pancreas called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).

Increases in levels of a glucose transporter were also noted by the researchers, and this was accompanied by a simultaneous activation of an enzyme linked to fatty acid synthesis (acetyl-CoA carboxylase), and inactivation of enzymes that play a role in fat metabolism.

“Our findings provide a biochemical basis for the use of bilberry fruits and also have important implications for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes,” wrote the researchers.

Bilberry info

Bilberries are closely related to the North American blueberry but contain a very distinct anthocyanin profile. Bilberry extracts are relatively expensive. Concerns are rife within the industry of lower-price extracts reported to be mixed with mulberry or black bean skins or azo-dyes.

Concerns were raised in 2006 when Australian scientists discovered that azo dyes were used to mimic the colour of bilberries in a commercial product (J. Agric. Food Chem, Vol. 54, Issue 19, pp. 7378 -7382). This has since expanded to reports of mulberry or black bean skins being used to increase the anthocyanin content of the extracts.

The anthocyanins content is used as the standard for bilberry, and UV spectrometry is needed to verify the 25 per cent anthocyanins. However, according to unconfirmed reports, this has led to extracts masquerading as bilberry but actually containing mulberry (22-24 per cent), or black bean skin (20 per cent).

Vision is one of the most precious gifts we have. A majority of our daily activities rely heavily upon our ability to see clearly. Good eye health is key to an active lifestyle.The eye itself does not actually see objects. Instead, it acts much like a camera recording objects. Light enters the eye through the lens and hits the retina at the back of the eye. The retina changes light into nerve signals so that brain can interpret the objects.Retaining good eye health and vision long term means practicing preventive eye care from the earliest years of life. Infants and toddlers should be screened for common eye problems during regular visits to the pediatrician. Vision screenings should begin at age 3. Most children and teens have healthy eyes, but need to protect them during activities such as playing sports or doing yard work. Adults should have an eye exam on the following schedule:

Ages 20-29 – 1 time
Ages 30-39 – 2 times
Ages 40-65 - every two to four years
After age 65, adults should have thorough eye exams every one to two years.

During these exams they should be checked for cataracts, glaucoma, age related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Nutrition and eye health go hand in hand. While eating carrots alone won’t ensure eye health, proper diet and nutrition will provide eyes with the necessary nutrients to function properly. In addition to a proper diet, natural supplements have shown promise in promoting good eye health. Beta carotene (Vitamin A) is a powerful antioxidant working to rid the eyes of free radicals which can cause damage. Lutein helps form the pigment at the center of the retina. Studies indicate it may be helpful in preventing cataracts and macular degeneration. Lycopene shows similar promise. Bilberry extract was first discovered to improve night vision but is now commonly used to support treatment for glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.

About Breastfeeding

2010-06-22T11:05:00.000-07:00

During the first few days after the birth of your baby, your body will produce colostrum, a sort of pre-milk. For some women, colostrum is thick and yellowish. For others it is thin and watery. Colostrum contains many protective properties, including antibacterial and immune-system-boosting substances that are so important to your baby and aren't found in infant formula. The flow of colostrum is very slow, which allows your baby to learn how to nurse and also how to coordinate sucking, breathing, and swallowing.

After about 3 to 4 days of nursing, your breasts will start to feel less soft and more firm as your milk changes from colostrum to milk that looks kind of like skim milk. Your milk will be transitional for the first 10 to 14 days, after which it's considered to be mature milk.

During this time, the amount of milk your body produces will increase, responding to your baby's nursing. Your milk supply is determined by the stimulation your body receives. In other words, the more you breastfeed, the more milk your body produces.

Mothers who deliver by Caeserean section (C-section) may find it takes longer for their milk supply to increase. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, a mother's milk may take longer than a few days to come in. This is perfectly normal and is usually no cause for concern, but make sure to let your doctor know. While babies don’t need much more than some colostrum for the first couple days, the doctor may need to make sure the baby is getting enough to eat. It can help to breastfeed more frequently, putting the baby to the breast every 2 to 3 hours.

If your milk still hasn't come in within 72 hours after the birth of your baby, you may want to talk to your doctor about temporarily supplementing with formula (just until your milk supply is up) so that your baby gets enough nutrients and doesn't lose weight unnecessarily.

Don't be alarmed if your baby drops a little weight at first. Most babies typically lose up to 7% of their body weight in the first few days.

About Immune System

2010-06-22T10:59:00.000-07:00

The immune system, which is made up of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs, defends people against germs and microorganisms every day. In most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection.

About the Immune System

The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease.

The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. The cells involved are white blood cells, or leukocytes, which come in two basic types that combine to seek out and destroy disease-causing organisms or substances.

Leukocytes are produced or stored in many locations in the body, including the thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. For this reason, they're called the lymphoid organs. There are also clumps of lymphoid tissue throughout the body, primarily as lymph nodes, that house the leukocytes.

The leukocytes circulate through the body between the organs and nodes via lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. In this way, the immune system works in a coordinated manner to monitor the body for germs or substances that might cause problems.

The two basic types of leukocytes are:

phagocytes, cells that chew up invading organisms
lymphocytes, cells that allow the body to remember and recognize previous invaders and help the body destroy them

A number of different cells are considered phagocytes. The most common type is the neutrophil, which primarily fights bacteria. If doctors are worried about a bacterial infection, they might order a blood test to see if a patient has an increased number of neutrophils triggered by the infection. Other types of phagocytes have their own jobs to make sure that the body responds appropriately to a specific type of invader.

The two kinds of lymphocytes are B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. Lymphocytes start out in the bone marrow and either stay there and mature into B cells, or they leave for the thymus gland, where they mature into T cells. B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes have separate functions: B lymphocytes are like the body's military intelligence system, seeking out their targets and sending defenses to lock onto them. T cells are like the soldiers, destroying the invaders that the intelligence system has identified.

Here's how it works:

When antigens (foreign substances that invade the body) are detected, several types of cells work together to recognize them and respond. These cells trigger the B lymphocytes to produce antibodies, specialized proteins that lock onto specific antigens.

Once produced, these antibodies continue to exist in a person's body, so that if the same antigen is presented to the immune system again, the antibodies are already there to do their job. So if someone gets sick with a certain disease, like chickenpox, that person typically doesn't get sick from it again.

This is also how immunizations prevent certain diseases. An immunization introduces the body to an antigen in a way that doesn't make someone sick, but does allow the body to produce antibodies that will then protect the person from future attack by the germ or substance that produces that particular disease.

Although antibodies can recognize an antigen and lock onto it, they are not capable of destroying it without help. That's the job of the T cells, which are part of the system that destroys antigens that have been tagged by antibodies or cells that have been infected or somehow changed. (Some T cells are actually called "killer cells.") T cells also are involved in helping signal other cells (like phagocytes) to do their jobs.

Antibodies also can neutralize toxins (poisonous or damaging substances) produced by different organisms. Lastly, antibodies can activate a group of proteins called complement that are also part of the immune system. Complement assists in killing bacteria, viruses, or infected cells.

All of these specialized cells and parts of the immune system offer the body protection against disease. This protection is called immunity.

Each person is no exception to anyone if asked about health problems all want vibrant health. Contradiction is almost everyone recognizes that health is an important issue / Importance but not urgent / urgent for action - real action achieve vibrant health. Most people think that there is still enough time to take care of their health problems later in life. Until finally they were in kagetkan by a health problem that makes them need to rest and drain a lot of funds to restore health to its original position. I am impressed with the wise words of one who said that "we heed our health problems at the time - when we pursue success peak periods and finally when we've achieved success we have to fight to get our health back is not rare to spend all the wealth that has been we collect. " Sometimes we suffer illness gives us a very valuable lesson about the meaning of health for us. Many people are certain to be very thankful after his illness given a trial - a dangerous disease and survived it. Of course if given a choice we would never suffer from cancer, diabetes or heart disease prior to learning the meaning of health. Well how about we are at this moment is still given the opportunity to enjoy our health. Health is a choice and Also a habit (health is a choice and also is a habit). Health can only be on when we've decided to live healthy and make a habit - a healthy habit in our daily lives - the day until it becomes a habit in our subconscious.

If we imagine this body as a vehicle and our driver. And a good driver does not have to know all the mechanisms of the vehicle. How the engine and piston brake system works or how it all works because of the concern of a mechanic. At least we should know some important things like why do we have to check the radiator water, water wiper? why oil should be routine for replacement car? and several other practical knowledge about cars. It aims to make it easier for us to maintain and ensure that you are taking the car could deliver us safely to where we will go.

Similarly with our bodies as possible aligned to be well cared for our bodies to find out some practical knowledge about how to care for her. Do not let us just know when something is wrong when there is pain symptoms. For example even though people know that eating vegetables is healthy fibrous face-to-be many people who realize the importance of it after a diagnosis of colon cancer. For that we are all also expected to know some important systems that operate our bodies or at least know how the body works. Our body is divided into several different systems function, although all are interrelated to one another. By knowing the work and functions of the human body then we will know what actually happens when we're exercising, changing what is happening in our bodies. Or when we were drinking coffee, beer or affected by its impact on system panyakit what our bodies work. The human body works perfectly with the system-the system that runs in synergy.

There are 10 major systems in the human body we need to know so that we can take care of him in order to function optimally which include:
- Cardiovascular System - Respiratory System - Muscular system (muscles) - Skeletal System (bones) - Nervous system - System glands - Immune System - Digestive System - System of urinary tract - Reproductive System

Our topic this time we will restrict our discussion on the topic of the bone system. Why we're highlighting this because the issue of bone health problems are currently being Manjadi trends to be discussed. Reminding us that there are systems in our bodies that are not visible but their impact on our lives is immense when we take good care or vice versa did not notice at all.

Bone has several functions including:

- Gives the body shape

- Protects body organs

- For storage of essential minerals such as calcium for the body (most numerous minerals in our body, weighing dalah 2% of body weight, 99% found in the bones are there in the liquid remaining in the tissue cells and brain cells)

The human body has about 206 of bone where the femur bone is the largest and the smallest bone is the stirrup bone located in the cavity of the organ of our hearing. We glimpse the bones had been due she looks static but is a dynamic organ because every moment is always a process of dismantling and regeneration of cells - the cells in the bone or what is known as "bone remodeling". Where every 7-10 years total regenarasi then our bodies will be true - true to have a new bone. So our bone age compared with our age it will always be younger than the age our bones because of this regeneration process.

Our bones are composed of two layers of cortical (hard layer of bone 80% time) and a sponge layer (less dense and weaker, high metabolism, more easily broken and destroyed). Bone protein and calcium have a framework that reinforces the frame. This is the role of calcium in the regeneration of bone cells. Peak periods of our bones is at the age of around 30 for years but after that we will lose the bone each day when not doing maintenance on our bones. Especially in women because more women will lose bone at the time of pregnancy, breastfeeding, childbirth, menstruation and menopause.

Where at the time - that time requires a lot of women's calcium supply. Bones like other organs in the regeneration process requires nutrients derived from food through the blood. For that we need once known how to provide the best nutrition on bone. One of the nutrients that we can give our bones are Glucosamine Chondroitin where these nutrients help the bones in our bodies in such things as: assisting the absorption of nutrients into the bone, including calcium absorption into bone, lubricate joints, thus avoiding the occurrence of brittle joints / osteo arthritis, inhibit enzymes that damage cartilage / cartilage and can help reduce toxins in the kidney.

Glucosmine is a natural mixture found in healthy cartilage. Formed from amino sugar that plays an important role in cartilage formation and repair. Each person produces a certain amount of glucosamine in their physical bodies and begin to lose ability to produce it when it began to enter old age. Cartilage in persendiaan that can spin like the groin, knee and groin can be damaged and even destroyed then hardens and helps bone spurs that cause pain, damage and restrict the movement of persendiaan persendiaan. Providing glucosamine can help replace and repair the damage appropriately balance Glucosamine content that can not be found in the foods we eat. And the good news is giving Glucosamine is safe and effective. None reported any negative effects of destructive role in the long term.
Chondroitin is a natural compound formed by body functions as a lubricant / lubricant on the joints so that movement of the joints better and not cause pain. Chondroitin also merupkan mukopolisakarida nature as a shock breaker, holding water so that moisture bone awake, improve movement, delivering nutrients and other nutrients to cells - the cells of cartilage.

Which is not advisable to consume Glucosamine Chondroitin - Children - Pregnant women - Women who may become pregnant - People with diabetes are feared to result in increased blood sugar levels. - People - people who drank the blood-thinning medications because these compounds can trigger blood dilution - People - people who are allergic to shellfish or something from the sea for most stocks Glucosamine Chondroitin is extracted from the oysters - shellfish.

The dose of Glucosamine Chondroitin at the beginning of 1500 mg Glucosamine and Chondroitin 1200 every day for 1-2 months. When it appeared the results of the dose can be reduced to 1000 mg of Glucosamine and Chondroitin 800 mg.
On the use of Glucosamine Chondroitin over 90 consecutive days and did not show any significant change hence the use should be stopped.
Some studies on glucosamine chondroitin, among others:
- Reduces inflammation in mice in which arthritis patients results: reducing bangkak, pain and functional status improved (SL Kolanski complementary and alternative therapies for rheumatic disease, 2001)
- Improved cartilage (Reginster, JY et al, 2001)
- To rebuild the cartilage where the granting 1.5 gr Glucosamone chondroitin for 30 days at 80 severe osteoarthritis patients showed an improvement of cartilage cells in exactly the same as a healthy (Dovanti et al, 2001)
- Reduce up to 39% joint pain, improve joint movement up to 27% on use for 12 weeks
Side effects from the use of Glucosamine Chondroitin are:
- Gastrointestinal disturbances such as burning sensation or nausea that may occur in people who are sensitive
- Children - children, pregnant and lactating women should not consume this preparation because it was feared would interfere with fetal development
- Glusosamine Chondroitin is a compound of sugar so that the patient should be balanced by controlling the sugar content of sugar when forced to consume these preparations. Because of this there are two opinions that allowing and prohibiting this preparation to be consumed for diabetics.
- Most glucosamine chondroitin processed with sodium clorida (Nacl), so for people with hypertension should consume to control his blood pressure during this preparation.
- If you are still unsure about these stocks then you should consult your local pharmacist or medical personnel that you believe can give the best advice to suit your needs.

Glucosamine Chondroitin we need to consume? ... There are some things that must be considered in terms of taking Glucosamine Chondroitin is because most of this preparation is in the form of food supplements. Most experts and medical organizations are still conclude that the best intake of vitamins and minerals is from food that we eat a day - day. That is, with a balanced nutritional diet mainly of vegetables and fruits. If we eat according to recommendations of the number and kind then we should no longer have to eat supplements. The problem is most of us can not meet as a dinjurkan. So under some circumstances can dijakdikan reference where we need to consume food supplements, namely:
- The pattern of eating, such as a child because of you do not like to eat vegetables and fruits to avoid vitamin deficiency then it is advisable to consume supplements. Or maybe we want memenihu the recommended diet but you are allergic to these foods.
- Women pregnant or are trying to get pregnant, then in this period as kaslium intake, folic acid and iron is needed to mecegah occurrence of neurological disorders, maintaining the red blood cells and keep fit.
- Carrying out activities that heavy, hard work both physically and mentally able to lower our immune system, the intake of supplements can help
- Smokers and drinkers of alcohol, cigarettes can reduce the absorption of many types of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B6, vitamin C, folic acid, vitamins A, D and B12. If you drink alcoholic beverages, we will quickly feel full so mengakibatkn our diet becomes very less nutrition - nutris important.
- When the function body is unable to work perfectly, ie there are abnormalities in liver function, gall bladder or intestines. Which can also postoperative organ function is not yet fully functioning so that the intake of supplements can help to accelerate the recovery of organs - the organ of our body.
- Old age, the older age of our health problems seem to multiply and possibly lead us into bad eating patterns so that nutrient intake be reduced. We begin to lose their appetite because the senses of taste and smell function is reduced or there may be problems sehingg depression. Also decreases the absorption function so it needs to transform and get the intake of supplements so that our immune system, increases that will reduce the risk of infection.

Digestan Drug

2010-06-09T00:48:00.005-07:00

Digestan is a drug that helps the digestive process digestive enzymes containing or mixtures that are useful for improving digestive function. Digestan beneficial in deficiencies of one or more substances that function in the gastrointestinal tract to digest food. Process of digestion is affected by HCL (stomach acid), digestive enzymes and bile.
The outline digestan useful dosage is as follows:

   1. Pancreatic enzymes

      Pancreatic enzymes in the stocks known as pankreatin and pankrelipase. Both these substances contain amylase, trypsin (protease) and lipase. Pankrelipase derived from animal pancreas, activity was relatively higher than lipasenya pankreatin.

      Pankrelipase deficiency are indicated on the circumstances such as in pancreatic secretions and mukovisidosis pancreatitis. This Ennzim damaged stomach acid so it must be made in tablet form enteral.

      Pancreatic enzyme causes very little side effects. High doses can cause nausea and diarrhea and also hiperurisemia.
   2. Pepsin

      Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that is less important compared with pancreatic enzymes. In pepsin deficiency, symptoms are not serious. Total pepsin deficiency found in patients aklorhidria. Failure to secrete gastric acid and pepsin with an adequate stimulus is called gastric akilia, often occurs in patients with pernicious anemia and gastric carcinoma.
   3. Bile

      Bile contains bile acids and konjugatnya. Substances that are essential for human bile are cholic acid sodium salt and acid kenodeoksikolat. Important addition to the absorption of fat, bile is also important for the absorption of fat soluble substances such as vitamins A, D, E and K.

      In large amounts of bile salts can neutralize stomach acid into the duodenum.

      In normal circumstances the liver to secrete bile salt ± 24 g or 700-1000 ml of bile / day.

      Approximately 85% of bile is absorbed at the bottom of the small intestine (enterohepatik circulation), so only 80 mg of bile salts which must be synthesized per day.

      Bile acids increase bile secretion and called choleretic substances, bile salts showed less choleretic activity. Dehidrokolat a cholic acid active semisynthetic primarily to stimulate bile with BM (molecular weight) is low because it is called zaat hidrokoleretik. This substance is only stimulate spending and not prosuksi gall bladder.

      In contrast to cholic acid, acid kenodeoksikolat lowering cholesterol levels in bile. This is useful for overcoming drug cholesterol gallbladder stones in a particular patient.

      Kenodeoksikolat Acid works by reducing cholesterol absorption from the intestine and decreases cholesterol synthesis. When the acid content reaches 70% bile kenodeoksikolat total, then the solution was saturated bile cholesterol becomes saturated.

      Graam bile reduce gastrointestinal mucosal resistance against gastric acid. This fact is thought to have implications for the occurrence of gastritis, peptic tkak and oesophageal reflux.

Regulator GIT, Antiinflamasi & Antiflatulen

2010-06-09T00:44:00.000-07:00

In the group of these drugs are drugs which function as:

    * Regulatory functions and movements of the gastrointestinal or often called a regulator Git
    * Drugs used for bloating or antiflatulen meteorisme.
    * Anti-inflammatory or inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract or known antiinflammatory
These drugs further, we call it as a bloated drug.
Bloating drug circulating in Indonesia is:

   1. Cisapride.

      Cisapride is a medicine that increases the movements or contractions of the stomach and intestines. This medicine is used to treat symptoms such as bloating caused by the return of stomach acid into the esophagus.
   2. Dimethicone and their derivatives

      Dimethicone has a different name dimethylpolysiloxane. Derivatives is a mixture polydiethylpolysiloxane simethicone. Medicine antifoaming is allocated to reduce bloating, discomfort and pain caused by excess gas in the digestive tract and intestines. How it works by lowering the surface tension of the gas so that the foam in the digestive tract to form large bubbles which easily expelled by the body.

      Existing dosage forms are tablets, capsules and liquid suspension.

      This drug is not absorbed by the body into the bloodstream, resulting in relatively safe, side effects only in the form of constipation, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
   3. Clebopride

      Indicated for nausea and vomiting caused by various things both drugs and diseases.
   4. Metoclopramide

      Metoclopramide is a substituted benzamida which stimulates the digestive tract motility without affecting the secretion of gastric food, bile or pancreas.

      Metoclopramide has parasympathomimetic activity and have the nature of the dopamine receptor antagonist with a direct effect on kemoreseptor "trigger zone".

      Metoclopramide may also have a serotonin receptor antagonist properties.
   5th. Domperidone

      Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that has antiemetik prokinetik employment, with effects such as metoclopramide. Because it does not penetrate the blood flow ekstrapiramidial reactions rarely occur.

      Domperidone increase the duration of peroral Giving antral and duodenal contractions, gastric emptying and increase the pressure on the esophagus sprinkter.
   6. Hyoscine

      An anticholinergic alkaloid that is a function for contractions of gastrointestinal tract disorders, gall bladder, urinary tract and female genital tract.

      Sediaannya usually combined with methampyron or paracetamol.
   7. Mesalazine

      Mesalazine including Aminosalicylic drug classes. This drug is used to reduce inflammation in colitis. Colitis due to the occurrence of swelling and bleeding apda USU major cause symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea in mixed blood, pus and mucus. Mesalazine works by reducing inflammation in the intestine, thus reducing symptoms caused by disease.
For the selection of drug classes was the right digestion is better and you should consult a doctor.

Maag (Ulcer) drug

2010-06-09T00:41:00.000-07:00

Ulcer/ Maag drugs so many kinds depending on the causes and symptoms of heartburn / gastritis that occurred. Ulcer drugs usually divided into the following

   1. Deduction for gastritis type of stomach acid / antacid
   2. Ulcer drug type gastric wound healing / antiulserasi
   3. Anti-ulcer drug bloating / antiflatulen
   4. Anti-ulcer drug seizure / antispasmodik
   5th. Anti-ulcer drug swelling / antiinflammatory
   6. Digestive ulcer drug regulator / regulator gastro intestinal
   7. Antibiotic
All of which may be single or combination depending on ulcer disease. Type of heartburn and ulcer medicine his

   1. Gastritis is usually the result of bacterial infection by Helicobacter pylori (the bacteria that grows in the mucus-producing cells in the lining of the stomach).

      No other bacteria that are normally grown in the acidic stomach, but if the stomach does not produce acid, various bacteria can grow in the stomach. These bacteria can cause gastritis or gastritis settled temporarily.

      So ulcer drug that is often given containing bismuth or antibiotics (eg Amoxicillin and claritromycin) and anti-ulcer drug (omeprazole).
   2. Gastritis due to acute stress, is the most severe type of gastritis, caused by severe illness or trauma (injury) that occurred unexpectedly.

      The injury itself may not be related to gastric, as happened in extensive burns or injuries that cause bleeding. Once the cause (serious illness, injury or bleeding) was successfully resolved without ulcer drug.

      But about 2% of people with stomach ulcers / gastritis due to acute stress bleeding which is often fatal.

      Because it was done by providing drug prevention ulcer type of antacid (to neutralize stomach acid) and drug type anti-ulcer dyspepsia strong (to reduce or stop the formation of stomach acid).

      Bleeding due to ulcer / gastritis caused by acute stress can be overcome by closing the source of bleeding on endoscopy action.
   3. Chronic erosive gastritis may be a result of:
          * Irritant substances such as drugs, especially aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs other non-steroidal
          * Crohn's disease
          * Viral and bacterial infections.
      This occurs slowly gastritis in healthy people, may be accompanied by bleeding or ulcer formation (ulcer, an open wound).

      The most frequently occurs in alcoholics. Ulcer / Gastritis can be treated with chronic erosive gastritis type of antacid drug.

      Patients should avoid certain medications (eg aspirin or drugs non-steroidal anti-inflammatory others) and foods that cause stomach irritation.

      Misoprostol may reduce the risk of ulcer formation due to medication non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.
   4. Eosinophilic gastritis can occur as a result of an allergic reaction to roundworm infestation.

      Eosinophils (white blood cells) accumulated in the stomach wall. To relieve the blockage in the outlet of the stomach in eosinophilic gastritis, ulcer medication could be given to the type of corticosteroids or surgery.
   5th. Plasma cell gastritis gastritis is the cause is unknown.

      Plasma cells (a type of white blood cells) accumulated in the stomach wall and other organs. Ulcer drugs for this problem with anti-ulcer type of ulcer drug that blocks acid.

Gastrointestinal Drug

2010-06-09T00:35:00.001-07:00

Gastrointestinal drugs or drugs that work on systems and hepatobiliar gastrointestina divided from the eight major categories, namely:

   1. Intestinal type of antacid drugs (gastritis) and antiulserasi
   2. Intestinal type of regular drug Git, antiflatulen (flatulent drugs) and anti-inflammatory
   3. Gastrointestinal drug types antispasmodik
   4. Medicine for diarrhea (upset stomach)
   5th. Digestion of laxatives or drug laxatives (constipation medicine)
   6. Gastrointestinal drug types digestan
   7. Gastrointestinal drug types kolagogum, kolelitolitik hepati da protector
   8. Gastrointestinal drugs for hemorrhoids
Digestive System
To find out permasalaham digestion and choose the right medication we need to know our digestive system as well. The digestive system (from mouth to anus) function as follows:

    * Receive food
    * Break down food into nutrients (a process called digestion)
    * Absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream
    * Discard parts that can not be digested food from the body
Alimentary canal consists of mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum and anus. Digestive system also includes the organs that are located outside of the digestive tract, ie pancreas, liver and gallbladder. Digestion Drug Types

   1. Types of antacids and indigestion drug antiulserasi
      Usually the type of antacid and indigestion medications to treat ulcers antiulserasi / wound / ulcer that occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, such as:
          * Duodenal ulcer / duodenal ulcer, peptic ulcer is the type most commonly found, occurs in the duodenum (duodenum), ie the first few centimeters of small intestine, just below the stomach.

          * Gastric ulcer is more rare, usually occur along the curved top of the stomach. If part of the hull was raised, there could be ulcer marginalis, the area where the remaining stomach was connected to the intestine.

          * Recurrent regurgitation of stomach acid into the lower esophagus can cause inflammation (esophagitis) and ulcers esofagealis. Peptic ulcers are round or oval-shaped wound that occurs because the stomach lining or duodenum (duodenal) had been eaten away by stomach acid and digestive juice.

          * Also hiperasiditas (excessive acidity) and the condition of gastric acid hypersecretion by the disease (Zolinger Ellison syndrome, systemic mastositosis).

   2. Git regular digestion drug types, and anti-inflammatory antifatulen
      Regular Git (GI) is a drug intended to stop the digestive motility disorders / movement of the gastro intestinal. Antiflatulen is a drug to overcome the excessive gas in the digestive system such as the digestive meteorisme.Obat this type are also commonly used unutk overcome nausea or vomiting.

   3. Gastrointestinal drug types antispasmodik
      Digestion of this type of drug used unutk overcome cramps in the gastrointestinal tract which may be caused by diarrhea, gastritis, peptic ulcer, and so forth.

   4. Medicine for diarrhea (upset stomach)
      Gastrointestinal drugs for diarrhea of this type of non-specific diunakan means diareyang not dikethaui cause. If already known cause eg bacteria used antibiotics.

   5th. Digestion of laxatives or drug laxatives (constipation medicine)
      Digestion of this type of drug use on the problem of constipation or difficult defecation with a bang soften stool or stimulate the remedy did defikasi.

   6. Gastrointestinal drug types digestan
