			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer_treatment10.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-142" title="stomach_cancer_treatment10" src="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer_treatment10-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Hangover (veisalgia) describes the amount of painful physical effects following thick intake of drugs, especially intoxicating beverages. A hangover is caused by a combination of the poisonous byproduct of alcohol metabolism (acetaldehyde), dehydration, and Vitamin A, B (especially B6) and C depletion caused by the chemical activity of alcohol on your structure. Hangovers normally last 1 to 4 hours. a kind of symptoms that may include dehydration, tiredness, worry, sickness, vomiting, diarrhoea, failing</p>
<p>Drinks with electrolytes are your best bet for getting rid of a hangover. Did you mom ever give you Pedialyte when you had a stomach flu to help keep you hydrated? Well, Gatorade is the perfect anti hangover drink and it works like Pedialyte to help replenish the sodium, potassium, and chloride (electrolytes) levels in your body. Water just isn’t enough. But make sure the Gatorade is at room temperature, not cold. Cold liquids make it harder for your body to absorb things.</p>
<p>Exercise will help get rid of your hangover by helping the body rid itself of toxins. The increased circulation gets blood and oxygen to your oxygen-starved brain.A good, brisk walk will also increase circulation with the results mentioned above.Another &#8220;morning after&#8221; remedy is to take a probiotic supplement, such as acidophilus, to help restore the flora balance in your stomach.</p>
<p>Milk time:</p>
<p>Milk is good for health. You must have heard this cliché for many times. However, drinking milk actually provides you a lot of benefits when it comes to removing the hangover due to overindulgence in wine. Drink milk before having your glass of wine. It provides a protective coating to the stomach and aids in absorption of the alcohol you intake.</p>
<p>Drink a cup of coffee. The caffeine in coffee will help reduce your swollen blood vessels. Inflammation of the blood vessels is the cause of hangover.</p>
<p>You may also take fruit juice to help in metabolizing the alcohol in your blood.<br />
Eat crackers or muffin. If you take mild food with honey, it will be more helpful. This is because honey will help you breakdown the alcohol and speed its metabolism.</p>
<p>Along with losing water, while your drinking your body loses a lot of salt and potassium. You will need to get this back into your body so you can begin to feel better. Try eating some chicken soup if you can take it. If your still to queasy for that then munch on some crackers until you feel a bit better. Bananas also contain a lot of potassium. I was never able to do the banana thing during a hangover though. Something about that fruit just didn&#8217;t sit well with my belly after drinking.</p>
<p>The major hangover you experience may be due to combining red wine with whiskey. You should mix whiskey with soda or water. Avoid mixing it with cola and tonic.Hangover is due to over indulgence in wine. Try to stay away from it. Follow the instructions mentioned above you would feel better after a wine party with your friends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer_diet06.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-144" title="stomach_cancer_diet06" src="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer_diet06-300x203.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="203" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Aloe vera juice is the liquid that comes out of the aloe vera plant when cut or squeezed. For hundreds and probably thousands of years, it has been used medicinally as a soothing balm for burns, cuts and scrapes. Today it is used for the same purposes, and also many more. I love aloe vera juice of gel for sunburn treatment, and I also find it makes a great skin protector to be used after shaving or on dry patches of skin.</p>
<p>Aloe vera juice has more recently become very popular as a drink and for use internally. By drinking 2-4 oz twice a day, aloe vera juice can alleviate or eliminate your constipation. It is a strong laxative when used in strong concentrations. You can also help your constipation when taking it in capsules. Look for aloe capsules or drinks that have other herbs to tone down its strong effect in the colon.</p>
<p>Aloe is also packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients. This array of nutrients gives it its natural healing power.</p>
<p>There are some aloe vera juice and herbal combinations that you can drink to help soothe an upset stomach. Since aloe is good for skin repairs it is also good for internal tissue breaks. If you have an ulcer or tissue breaks in the esophagus or stomach lining, using aloe will probably give you a little bit of pain until it heals that area.</p>
<p>Most of us know that aloe vera is excellent for treatment of minor cuts and scrapes, burns and also sunburn. It is used in all kinds of cosmetics and I like to have a bottle 99% pure aloe for emergencies and of course to apply on my face and hair before bedtime.</p>
<p>If you drink aloe vera juice, here are some of the benefits you can expect:</p>
<p>Good for blood circulation</p>
<p>Benefits and regulates blood pressure</p>
<p>Good for disorders of the bones and joints</p>
<p>Benefits the immune system</p>
<p>Defends the body against hostile organisms</p>
<p>Provides exceptional nutritional value for health and energy</p>
<p>Excellent for healing tissue damage inside the body</p>
<p>Using aloe vera juice for stomach problems is a wise idea. It has a long history of helping people with a variety of skin and internal problems. Its use for skin repair is one of its major properties.</p>
<p>Aside from juice, aloe is also available in powder but it is not recommended since its nutritional is decreased. When you buy aloe, you only want 100% stabilized aloe gel drinks, which are packaged in containers that block light. Light and oxygen deteriorate the properties of aloe.</p>
<p>Check your aloe label to see if it has been manufactured in your country. In the US, those products manufactured out side of the US do not always have good manufacturing practices and produce aloe of lower quality and of questionable value.</p>
<p>Use a good quality aloe that only contains the gel center of the plant and not the whole leaf. If you have constipation then drinking the juice, or adding some gel to your smoothies, or taking capsules of aloe will quickly give you relief. If you take to much aloe, you may experience some cramps, so just back off on the amount used and try again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer14.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-146" title="stomach_cancer14" src="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer14-241x300.jpg" alt="" width="241" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>In the days when society never had sophisticated technology, most doctors recognised the importance of negative life traumas in the initiation of the disease process.In those days they had more time to listen. Intuitively many of you recognise the importance of your feelings.</p>
<p>Have you never thought what is it that is going on with people who go into remission? Finally someone has put together the jigsaw. What better candidate than a senior cancer specialist who survived cancer and then became head of a cancer clinic.</p>
<p>Dr.Ryke Geerd Hamer</p>
<p>Born in 1935</p>
<p>Grew up in Frisia, Germany</p>
<p>Age 24 he passed his medical state examination in Marburg. After studying for an extra two years, he gained his qualification as an M.D. He worked at the university of Tubingen and Heidleberg. In 1972 he completed his specialization in internal medicine.</p>
<p>He patented some of his inventions - non-traumatic Hamer scalpel for plastic surgery that cuts twenty times more sharply than a razor; a special bone saw, also for plastic surgery; a massage table that automatically adjusts to the contours of the body; and a device for transcutaneous serum diagnosis.</p>
<p>His discovery was precipitated by the accidental killing of his son by an Italian Prince. He died four months after the shooting. The shock of his sons death lead to Dr.Hamer succumbing to testicular cancer. He had never been seriously ill until this.</p>
<p>After surviving his illness he was made head of a cancer clinic. At the cancer clinic he was well placed to ask certain questions about emotional traumas. All of them had a story to tell. All of them had.</p>
<p>He submitted his discovery to the University of Tubingen in October 1981 as a post doctoral thesis for qualification as a university lecturer. The oncologist wanted to have a university study his discovery so as to verify it.</p>
<p>The university rejected the interconnections of the psyche with cancer without testing a single case, something they admitted in court. Following this in 1986 a court sentenced the University of Tubingen to continue the post-doctoral thesis proceedings. They refused. This was unheard of. Why did they refuse??</p>
<p>Dr. Hamer refused to deny what he had discovered and for this he was forbidden from talking to any patients (1986). Various universities have verified the findings but not signed. One such university which is referred to is Trnava in Slovakia. He has been imprisoned twice and presently lives in hiding. No major media channel will openly debate his discovery.</p>
<p>The discovery fell into place after the viewing of 10,000 cancer patients by 1987. A science is something that is: - Reproducible, quantifiable, demonstrable and non-disprovable.</p>
<p>This article focuses in on one of the central tenets of this discovery. The exceptions to this system are poisoning and malnutrition.</p>
<p>The 1st biological - the Iron Rule of all Cancer.</p>
<p>The name is a misnomer. initially there was much confusion in what he was observing as he thought the facts only applied to cancer. He later discovered that all disease uses the same mechanism. Like a nickname which quickly cements itself, the name stuck.</p>
<p>A disease process originates from a Significant Emotional Event, which we experience as unexpected, dramatic and isolative simultaniously at all levels of our organism. The emotional intensity, conflict length and the tracks (Anchor) determine conflict mass and therefore the process of the disease process.</p>
<p>When we suffer an emotional trauma which meets certain criteria i.e a total shock we go into a state of stress innervation.</p>
<p>Sympathetic Nervous System - Fight or Flight</p>
<p>Time: active between 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.</p>
<p>Typical symptoms of the sympathetic nervous system are: -Stress,</p>
<p>Tense body</p>
<p>Obsessive thinking</p>
<p>Sleeplessness</p>
<p>Absence of Appetite</p>
<p>Loss of weight</p>
<p>Cold body and extremities</p>
<p>High blood pressure</p>
<p>Palpitations</p>
<p>Contracted blood vessels</p>
<p>Nervous and cold perspiration</p>
<p>Blood is directed from digestive tract to muscles and vital organs.</p>
<p>High output of glucose</p>
<p>Increased secretion of adrenaline making faster reaction possible.</p>
<p>The life experience shock impacts three levels simultaneously. The Psche/Brain/Organ. At the moment of the conflict shock, the content determines where the foci (marking) will show up in the brain and the cancer or cancer equivalent will show up in the organ.</p>
<p>The name cancer equivalent is used as essentially the process is the same for all disease. The more intense the feelings are then the quicker the deterioration in the organ.</p>
<p>It was only after viewing 10,000 patients did he notice that the conflict theme for a particular organ was always the same. That the brain had a very clear connection with the organs wasn&#8217;t a surprise, it was that there was such a system operating in the emotional sphere which took his breath away.</p>
<p>Given that what we hear, see, smell and touch has the potential to trigger a serious illness one has to re-evaluate everything and be very careful when working with a patient.</p>
<p>The oncologist gives an example of what can and is happening to millions of people. A mother&#8217;s child gets hit by a car. The &#8220;worry&#8221; conflict leads to breast cancer. A few months later the child recovers and her breast tumour stops growing. By this time the tumour has been detected and the Dr&#8217;s at the local hospital tell her that she has to have her breast amputated. Faced with the diagnosis, negative prognosis and the planned interventions she suffers the following conflicts.</p>
<p>A &#8220;disfigurement&#8221; conflict at the site of where the breast is to be amputated - (melanoma)</p>
<p>A &#8220;self devaluation&#8221; conflict (I am useless there) resulting in osteolysis (break down of bone) at the site of where the breast is.</p>
<p>An &#8220;attack&#8221; conflict of where the breast is to be operated - this leads to pleura mesothelioma (cancer of the sac surrounding the lung)</p>
<p>&#8220;Fear of death&#8221; conflict - alveoli lung cancer.</p>
<p>The fear of death is the most common one effecting people. When bad news is broken at the hospital, the people who hang on every word of the consultant will suffer this conflict.</p>
<p>Metastasis - Fact or Dogma</p>
<p>Cancer does not spread. If cancer spread through the blood then transfusions would be screened for cancerous cells as is done for hepatitis. No one is able to view cancer cells moving from organ to organ. What&#8217;s more is that the histology (cell structure) is different in different organs i.e. a cancer in the stomach looks like a cauliflour whereas one in the small intestine looks like a flat paving stone.</p>
<p>Metastasis theory believes cancer cells mutate while transmigrating from organ to organ. This is pure conjecture and has no scientific foundation. If one looks at cancers with animals in the wild secondaries are very rare. Dogs and cats do not understand negative diagnosis. If only they were to look in the animal kingdom they might start to question why is it that animals rarely get secondaries.</p>
<p>Often you will read about secondaries going to the lung, the main reason is due to iatrogenic influences. Is it any surprise given the conflict theme associated with this organ?</p>
<p>&#8220;Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.&#8221; Martin Luther King.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer_treatment01.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-148" title="stomach_cancer_treatment01" src="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer_treatment01-261x300.jpg" alt="" width="261" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Stomach gas is an extremely universal problem which largely results due to improper eating habits.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just as the problem is extremely common, so has modern medicine derived novel ways to keep the problems in check - antacids.<br />
How modern antacids work?</p>
<p>As the name suggests, antacids work by using a base to neutralize the acid. These &#8220;neutralizers&#8221; are generally salts of calcium, magnesium, sodium or aluminum. Therefore, they use an external influence rather than helping the body to use its own power to treat stomach acidity.</p>
<p>Side effects</p>
<p>Sometimes, certain antacids can cause side-effects such as headaches, dizziness, constipation, diarrhea, stomach pains and in some case fatigue. Long - term effects with continued use may include damage to the kidneys, heart or bones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The healthier alternative</p>
<p>Certain herbs can have extraordinary effects on the digestive process by improving absorption. Tablets made of these herbs use the power of nature&#8217;s own bounty to treat stomach gas, stomach pains and abdominal bloating.<br />
Amritdhara is one such ayurvedic herbal preparation that is very effective in relieving excess flatulence, stomach gas, stomach pains and abdominal bloating. It is very effective in cases of distension and heaviness in the stomach. It dramatically reduces acidity in the stomach .<br />
What it contains<br />
Each ml. of Amritdhara solution contains:<br />
Ajwain (Ajowan or Carum Copticum) extract: 0.200 gms.<br />
Pudina (Mint) extract: 0.050 gms.<br />
Clove oil: 0.002 ml.<br />
Camphor: 0.400 gms.<br />
Eucalyptus Oil: to make 1 ml.<br />
Ajowan (Ajwain) is a very effective herb for relieving indigestion flatulence, and spasmodic disorders.<br />
Mint extracts have excellent carminative and digestive properties. They provide quick natural relief from stomachache, gas and indigestion without any side effects.<br />
Camphor, in small doses camphor warms the stomach, stimulates secretion, increases peristalsis, and expels flatus.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Clove oil stimulates peristalsis.<br />
When combined in predetermined proportions, they present a POWERFUL concoction that works wonders on stomach health.</p>
<p>How it works</p>
<p>A few drops of Amritdhara help normalize the peristaltic movements - a major cause of stomach discomfort. It is effective in healing stomach bloating and stomach heaviness caused by excessive gas formation.</p>
<p>Directions for use:</p>
<p>For stomach pains, stomach gas or indigestion, add 3-4 drops of herbal Amritdhara to lukewarm water and drink. May be taken thrice a day or even hourly in case of acute cases.</p>
<p>For greater effect, the Amritdhara drops may be added to a decoction of fennel seeds (saunf).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Soon after intake, you should experience a relief in symptoms such as an urge to release stomach gas, or a subsiding of stomach pains and abdominal bloating.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Stomach is a body organ that is responsible for breaking down the food into semi-solid state. The glands within the stomach produce several chemicals/enzymes that help in the digestion of the food. Formation of cancerous tissue within the stomach is known as stomach cancer.</p>
<p>Types of stomach cancer</p>
<p>There are a few different types of stomach cancers. However, the most well known stomach cancer is the one that occurs in the glandular cells of the stomach. This type of stomach cancer is also known as adenocarcinomas. Then there are other types of stomach cancer (based on the cells that are affected by cancer).</p>
<p>Causes of stomach cancer</p>
<p>There is a lot of research going on for ascertaining the exact causes of the stomach cancer. As of now, stomach cancer is known to happen more in older people i.e. people above 60 years of age. Some theories also suggest that certain conditions of stomach (including some types of stomach infections) could also increase the risk of stomach cancer. There are also suggestions of stomach cancer being linked to genes.</p>
<p>Symptoms of stomach cancer</p>
<p>The currently known symptoms of stomach cancer cannot really point to stomach cancer. As you would have imagined, the stomach cancer symptoms include things like indigestion, nausea, pain, tiredness etc. In case you feel that you are displaying some or all symptoms, you should consult a qualified doctor and get a check-up done. This can help in not only allaying your fears of stomach cancer but also help in early detection of stomach cancer (and thus facilitate treatment of stomach cancer).</p>
<p>Diagnosis of stomach cancer</p>
<p>You should make a note of and narrate the symptoms to the doctor as best as you can. This can really be helpful to the doctor doing the diagnosis. The diagnosis of stomach cancer will generally start with blood test and stool test. Endoscopy could be the next test in line for stomach cancer. In fact, endoscopy is quite effective in detecting stomach cancer. The cells collected from stomach are taken up for biopsy for further ascertaining the presence of stomach cancer. Couples of other stomach cancer detection techniques are used too but endoscopy seems to be the most common one.</p>
<p>Treatment of stomach cancer</p>
<p>Like most other cancer types, stomach cancer treatment is also carried out mostly through surgery. However, chemotherapy could also form part of your treatment. Depending on the need, the doctor might also advise radiotherapy for treatment of stomach cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer03.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-152" title="stomach_cancer03" src="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer03-243x300.gif" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A number of different cancers can develop in the stomach, the most common subgroup of which is adenocarcinoma. This cancer of the digestive tract, occurring most often in men over the age of 40 in countries outside of the United States. Like any cancer diagnosis, the first question out of the mouth of a patient is likely to relate to curing stomach . What are the treatment options for the average patient?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the biggest problems of stomach cancer is that it either produces no symptoms or it produces symptoms that disguise themselves as other, common stomach problems.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It should not come as a surprise to anyone involved in the cancer industry that the typical triangle of treatment applies to stomach cancer: surgery, chemotherapy and radiation?also known as slash, poison and burn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A gastrectomy, which is the surgical removal of the stomach, is considered to be the only curative treatment. So, with the diagnosis of stomach cancer, removal of the stomach is considered the only cure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite that, just to be sure, a stomach cancer is likely to be introduced to chemotherapy and radiation in an attempt to move towards curing stomach cancer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chemotherapy has its roots in the mustard gas chemical warfare of the first two world wars. Designed as an agent to kill human cells, it does exactly that. Because it is most dangerous against replicating cells, and cancer cells replicate wildly, the doctors are betting on the fact that it will kill the cancer cells before it kills the healthy cells and, thus, the patient.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, even when chemotherapy is successful in shrinking tumor cells or eradicating existing symptoms of cancer: it still opens the patient up to infection and disease because it destroys the immune system, which is another set of rapidly replicating cells.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Radiation therapy is, simplistically put, a highly focused weapon aimed at the cancerous zone with the same intent as chemotherapy: destroy the cancerous cells before they destroy the healthy cells and kill the patient. Also like chemotherapy, radiation therapy has an extremely damaging effect on the immune system as a whole.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both treatments also happen to be carcinogenic.  Two of the three most common treatment for cancer actually cause more cancer. These are the things the medical industry would rather you didn&#8217;t know when it talks about curing stomach cancer, or any kind of cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer16.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-154" title="stomach_cancer16" src="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer16-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p class="articletext" style="text-align: justify;">Cancer is a disease in which the body cells grow uncontrollably because their normal regulatory mechanisms have been damaged. There are literally hundreds of different types and subtypes of cancer however the majority form solid tumours in specific areas of the body. The most common cancers are skin cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, bowel cancer and prostate cancer. Unfortunately the disease is very proficient at spreading through the blood and the lymphatic system and so in advanced cancer cases it is not uncommon to see secondary tumours in far off areas of the body.</p>
<p>The Genetics of Cancer</p>
<p>One of the most important breakthroughs in cancer research came in the late 1970s when scientists discovered that all types of cancer begin with the genetic material within normal body cells becoming damaged. Every cell contains genetic information in the form of more than 90,000 pairs of genes which work together to control the activities of the cell. A cell can become cancerous when specific genes, such as those that control division, become damaged beyond repair. How and why genes become damaged is still a hot topic for research however it would seem that faulty genes are either inherited or they are caused by carcinogens (cancer-causing agents), for example sunlight and cigarette smoke.</p>
<p>Our body cells are continually exposed to carcinogens however in the majority of cases cancer doesn&#8217;t develop. There are a number of reasons why this is so, for example:</p>
<p>· Cells can normally repair their own damaged genes so that they continue to function properly. · More than one gene has to be damaged in order for cancer to develop.<br />
· The body&#8217;s immune system can normally kill any cancer cells before they get the chance to multiply and form a tumour.</p>
<p>The Causes of Cancer</p>
<p>Although most cancers appear to be caused by several factors, including genetic/inherited ones, a main environmental cause can often be identified for a particular cancer i.e. smoking cigarettes is commonly associated with lung cancer.</p>
<p>Approximately 35% of stomach cancer and prostate cancer cases are related to diets of unhealthy foods with little or no fresh fruit and vegetables. 30% of lung, breast, colon, cervical and throat cancers are related to tobacco products such as cigarettes and cigars. 10% of skin cancer cases are related to the sun and UV rays. 7% of lymphoma, leukaemia, bone cancer and liver cancer cases are related to viruses such as Epstein Barr, HIV, Hepatitis C etc. Pesticides and chemicals, or occupational factors figure into 4% or mouth, throat, stomach and lymphoma cancer cases. Approx 3% of stomach, colon and liver cancer have been linked to excessive consumption of alchohol.</p>
<p>Aging and Cancer</p>
<p>Cancer is most common among older people, largely because their cells have had more time to accumulate genetic damage, but also because the body&#8217;s defences against cancer, particularly the cells and proteins of the immune system, gradually become less efficient with age. In addition a cancer that began earlier in life may not be diagnosed until old age because it can take years for some types of cancer, most noticeably prostate cancer, to grow large enough to produce noticeable symptoms.</p>
<p>Because life expectancy has increased dramatically over the last 50 years it means that cancer is now one of the most common causes of death in the developed world, second only to coronary heart disease.</p>
<p>Cancer treatment today</p>
<p>For over 2000 years, doctors have attempted to cure cancer by surgically removing visible tumours. For some localised cancers radiotherapy is very effective and this treatment is often combined with surgery with the aim of achieving a cure. Treatment with anti-cancer drugs, known as chemotherapy, may be used instead of or in combination with surgery to destroy cancers that have unfortunately already spread around the body.</p>
<p>New therapies for the treatment of cancer that are currently being assessed include inactivating the damaged genes so that they no longer send messages to the cell, and boosting the body&#8217;s natural immune system so that it has the ability to destroy any cancerous cells. These therapies are still in the experimental phase however both the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute of the UK, i.e. Cancer Research, are working towards making them viable treatment options for future generation.</p>

<p class="articletext" style="text-align: justify;">When human beings began migrating from Africa some sixty thousand years ago, they brought the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers with them.</p>
<p>A team of scientists researching human migration patterns has found genetic evidence that Helicobacter pylori, a corkscrew-shaped bacterium which can cause stomach ulcers, has been present in human beings for the last six hundred centuries.</p>
<p>But as occasionally happens in scientific research, findings that give us answers to one mystery have generated questions about another.</p>
<p>For instance, Professor John Atherton of the University of Nottingham in England asks, &#8220;If Helicobacter has been in humans ever since we have been out of Africa, why have stomach ulcers only arrived recently?&#8221;</p>
<p>Further research is now needed to answer the question of why stomach ulcers only started showing up in humans in modern times. Cases of stomach ulcers were rare before the Industrial Revolution, leading many to believe that ulcers are caused by stress and lifestyle.</p>
<p>But in 1985, Australian microbiologist Barry Marshall swallowed a petri dish full of Helicobacter pylori to prove his theory that bacteria, rather than stress and spicy foods, were the primary cause of stomach ulcers. Two decades later his risky research method was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with his colleague J. Robin Warren.</p>
<p>Marshall said the new findings fitted neatly with his work.</p>
<p>The recent research on Helicobacter pylori (also known as H. pylori) and human migration patterns was done led by scientists from the UK and Germany. The team compared DNA sequence patterns of bacteria and its hosts. By using computer simulations they demonstrated how the bacteria spread out of Africa and around the world.</p>
<p>Over half of all humans are infected by the bacteria, . The helical bacterium is the only known microorganism that can survive in the highly acidic mucus lining of the stomach and duodenum, and it is now thought to be the cause of most stomach ulcers and gastritis (an irritation or inflammation of the stomach lining). Stomach ulcers cause bouts of abdominal pain, nausea and hemorrhagic vomiting.</p>
<p>Stomach ulcers can usually be treated with medicines, but left untreated they can lead to serious medical complications. H pylori can also be a risk factor for stomach cancer.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">NC)-When callers to the Canadian Cancer Society&#8217;s information service connect with Isabelle Wilson, they&#8217;re talking to someone who&#8217;s been there herself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Christmas of 1997 was turned upside down for the Montreal mother of three. Days before the holiday she learned she had a rare tumour on her left lung. The lung was removed on Christmas Eve. Wilson was a 30-year-old non-smoker and had a six-month-old baby at home. Even her doctors were stunned.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Everything went so fast,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know what was happening to me.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Worse, Wilson had to recuperate during the infamous ice storm, which knocked out power and heat to her home for days. Eventually she turned to the Canadian Cancer Society&#8217;s information service for support and help in understanding her condition. It was a life-changing call. Three years later, Wilson joined the service herself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Knowing there was a professional there who was with me and researching this disease too meant a lot. I felt a lot less isolated,&#8221; says Wilson, a biologist and former health services worker. &#8220;One morning I woke up and said, &#8216;I have to do this job.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The service is Canada&#8217;s toll-free bilingual source of cancer information. Trained and caring specialists provide information about cancer and community resources. This helps newly diagnosed patients and their families understand their condition and act as informed members of their healthcare team.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer_symptom10.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-160" title="stomach_cancer_symptom10" src="http://www.stomachcancerinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/stomach_cancer_symptom10.gif" alt="" width="300" height="243" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While there are a variety of stomach ulcer symptoms experienced by many, this common disease attacks millions of Americans each and every year.</p>
<p>The stomach ulcer often presents itself in folks that take anti-inflammatory medications, smoke or drink alcohol. There is still some controversy as to whether stress causes stomach ulcers or not.</p>
<p>The wicked stomach ulcer often presents as a burning, gnawing sensation in the pit of the stomach that can last for up to three hours.</p>
<p>Many of those who experience this phenomenon mistakenly think it is nothing more than hunger pains, heartburn or even basic indigestion. Unfortunately this can often cause patients to delay seeking treatment since they brush it off as basic health issues and nothing more.</p>
<p>Stomach ulcer pain often occurs after a meal, is located in the upper abdomen and is often relieved by resting, taking antacids or having a small drink of milk. Weight loss may even be seen in those suffering extensively from a stomach ulcer since they actually avoid eating in hopes of avoiding pain.</p>
<p>Nausea and vomiting may also be seen for those suffering from stomach ulcers. You might also see black, tarry stools or stools containing dark red blood. This is an indication that your stomach ulcer is bleeding and this is a serious health complication and may require abdominal surgery.</p>
<p>Stomach ulcer symptoms may be treated with basic antacids or an even stronger medication, which requires a prescription. Stomach ulcer medications such as Protonix can actually help to reduce the acid production in your stomach and many find it useful in the treatment of stomach ulcers.</p>
<p>This is not a health issue which you can ignore since the stomach ulcer can literally erode the protective lining of the stomach. Some times your physician may prescribe a medication which forms a protective barrier over the lining of your stomach and gives your stomach ulcer a chance to heal. When trying to recover your health, it is important that you take the time to eat balanced nutritious meals, limit your alcohol, tobacco usage and caffeine intake, as well as anti-inflammatory medications if at all possible.</p>
<p>There are several medical tests that your physician may utilize in order to definitively diagnose your stomach ulcer. It is important to have a diagnosis that is based on solid evidence so that you can get the treatment you need.</p>
<p>Your health depends on it and it is ridiculous to ignore the stomach ulcer symptoms you are enduring. Talk with your physician to see what help is available to you. Here&#8217;s to better healthy days and stomach ulcers that heal.</p>
