How to Prevent HPV


The only true method of protecting yourself against HPV is to abstain from all sexual activity.
This includes any sexual contact and is not limited to interourse.

Because abstinence is not realistic for most adults, other means of protection must be used to reduce the risk of developing HPV.

There is no cure for HPV, though the virus often goes away on its own without medical treatment.

Limit the amount of sexual partners you have in your lifetime.
The more sexual partners you have, the increased risk of contracting HPV.
Remember, HPV is very common and it is estimated that 80 percent of people will be infected with HPV at some time during their lives.

Genetics food allergy


Allergic reactions to foods are an important medical problem throughout the industrialized world. The occurrence of food allergy appears to be strongly influenced by genetics, but the basis of the genetic predisposition to food allergy has not been differentiated from that for atopy in general.

In addition, genetic susceptibility alone does not explain the prevalence of food allergy satisfactorily, leaving ample room to consider the importance of environmental influences (external, maternal, and gastrointestinal environment) and interactions between the host and the environment.

Several features of food allergy are highlighted in this review:
1) patients with severe food allergies are overwhelmingly atopic, but food allergy occurs only in approximately 10% of patients with other atopic diseases;
2) most patients are clinically reactive to a single food, and although a substantial minority have multiple food allergies, the variety of bonefide food allergies in a given individual is limited;
3) foods contain multiple proteins whereas only a small subset are allergenic;
4) there is likely an important contribution of the environment, becoming manifest in genetically susceptible individuals.

What is syphilis?


Syphilis (say: "siff-uh-liss") is a serious infection passed from one person to another during sexual contact. It's caused by a bacteria (germ).

You could get syphilis by touching the blood or sores of a person who has syphilis, especially sores on the person's mouth, penis, vagina or anus (the opening to the rectum).
Syphilis can be cured with penicillin.
The penicillin is given as a shot.
For primary-stage syphilis, you only need to get 1 shot.
For secondary-stage syphilis, you will need 2 shots. If you're allergic to penicillin, be sure to tell your doctor.

If you have an advanced case of syphilis, you may need stronger treatment.
You may get shots of penicillin every day for 10 days.
This can be done in the doctor's office or at a clinic.
A few people have to go to the hospital to get penicillin put into their veins.

If you're pregnant, it's very important to get treated right away.
Syphilis can cause birth defects and even death in an unborn baby.

Pushing drugs !!


For years, drug companies (pharmaceuticals AKA Big Pharma) have been taking the public for a costly ride and making a killing in the process -- seriously, a lot of people are dying as a result.

In this documentary, find out how Big Pharma's clever politics and marketing schemes are tailored specifically to empty out our bank accounts and force us to sell-off our homes if need be, for drugs that would otherwise cost a few pesos elsewhere in the world.

But it doesn't stop there:

With so much profit potential glistening in their eyes, these companies have little incentive to provide cures.

Rather, they recycle old drugs, modifying them ever so slightly (often resulting in deadly cocktails), for the single purpose of acquiring new patents.

Thus, renewing their monopoly over pricing.

But that's only the beginning - Watch it and see fotr yourself :
