Did you know that as many as 30 to 50% of cancer patients undergoing treatment experience pain? Plus, for the patients in advanced stages of cancer, 70 to 90% experience pain as result of the cancer. Why should patients put up with this pain when treatments and other solutions exist? An exploration of the cancer patient’s options may bring surprisingly wonderful relief.

What is pain and how does pain surface in cancer? When the brain receives a message from the nerves about a problem, the body wants to react to whatever is causing the damage. Different treatments bring about different pain signals. For instance, in chemotherapy, the cancerous cells are being killed and this action may signal pain. The damaging force of pain may trigger chronic pain, which is a major stressor attacking the entire person’s well-being from the body to the mind. Another version of pain is breakthrough pain. This style of pain spikes and temporarily increases the dose of pain. Pain does not have to exist and 95% of cancer patients find relief from prescription drugs and other methods.

WHAT IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?

Also referred to as impotence, Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. ED is the most common male sexual disorder, affecting almost 30 million men in the United States alone. While many men may experience occasional problems achieving an erection, ED is a persistent problem that consistently interferes with a man’s normal sexual activity. ED is a progressive disorder and will worsen without treatment of underlying causes.

ARE YOU AT RISK?

Although some men never develop Erectile dysfunction, the chance of being affected by it increases with age. ED can also become more severe as a man gets older. According to the 1987 Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS) 40% of men had ED at age 40 and 67% had ED at age 70. Men with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes, and men with depression are at increased risk.

Folic acid is an important part of pregnancy nutrition. John C. Swartz, Nutritional Counselor, discusses how folic acid has been proven to help prevent neural tube defects, and how women can include sources of folic acid with their pregnancy nutrition.

Folic acid is an important part of pregnancy nutrition during the first trimester. Between days 17 to 30, four to six weeks after the first days of a womans last menstrual cycle, the formation and closure of the neural tube occurs. The neural tube will later become the spinal cord, brain, and bone surrounding the spinal cord and brain. If the fetus does not receive the proper pregnancy nutrition before and during the first trimester, neural tube defects may occur.
