			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to nutritional superfood, you would be hard pressed to find anything better than the acai berry.  <strong>This berry comes from the Amazon rainforest of Brazil and has long been used by natives of that country for its incredible health-giving properties.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chemotherapy is treatment with anti-cancer drugs, given to destroy or control cancer cells. A single drug may be given or several different drugs may be given together. Chemotherapy medications, regardless of how they&#8217;re given, generally travel in your bloodstream and throughout your entire body. The intravenous route is the most common, allowing chemotherapy drugs to spread quickly through your system.</p>
<p>Chemotherapy is usually administered for approximately 6-12 months or until a patient achieves a plateau response or stable disease, especially if the therapy is well tolerated. When used as induction therapy, usually 3 or 4 cycles are given prior to collection of stem cells. Chemotherapy is delivered many different ways depending on the drugs and treatment. Intravenous means delivered by inserting a needle in a vein, orally is by mouth, and via catheter or port is by a tube inserted into the chest via a surgical procedure. Chemotherapy can make you feel tired. This fatigue may or may not worsen as you are treated with more cycles of chemotherapy. Obviously that is when understanding <a href="http://www.chemotherapytreatmentguide.com/" target="_blank">chemotherapy treatment</a> and <a href="http://www.chemotherapytreatmentguide.com/" target="_blank">Chemotherapy drugs</a> is pretty important</p>
<p><span id="more-138"></span></p>
<p>Chemotherapy usually has some effect on the immune system. With many chemotherapy protocols, it is not unusual for the oncologist to delay a cycle if a patients white count is below a certain level. Chemotherapy drugs take longer to have a complete effect, sometimes several weeks or up to a few months. Because they alter the immune response that causes the disease, they can slow down significantly and sometimes stop the course of the rheumatic disease for which they are prescribed.</p>
<p>Cell types that are normally rapidly dividing, such as those in the bone marrow and in the lining of the intestine, tend to be hardest hit. Death of the normal cells produces some of the common side-effects of chemotherapy. Cells grow by dividing. Chemotherapy works by damaging cancer cells that are dividing.</p>
<p>Drugs are combined so that there are few overlapping side effects, to make the treatment more tolerable. These combinations are then tested in clinical trials to see how effective they are. Drugs can be given and blood samples can be taken through them. Drugs affect &#8220;younger&#8221; tumors (i.e. With succeeding generations of tumor cells, differentiation is typically lost, growth becomes less regulated, and tumors become less responsive to most chemotherapeutic agents.</p>
<p>Cancer is a disease characterised by important metabolic alterations. Not only these adaptative changes give higher proliferative capacity to cancer cells, but they also contribute to higher resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Cancers are made up of fast-growing cells. Other fast-growing cells, such as the cells that make up hair follicles, are also affected.</p>
<p>Ask your doctor and nurse any questions you may have about chemotherapy. Also don&#8217;t hesitate to tell them about any side effects you may have.</p>
<p>Chemotherapy drugs are given intravenously, by injection or by mouth. Chemotherapy is often used alone, or in conjunction with radiation therapy or surgery. Chemotherapy drugs work by interfering with the ability of cancer cells to divide and reproduce themselves. Chemotherapy can be delivered by the bloodstream to reach cancer cells all over the body, or it can be administered directly to specific cancer sites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How do some of those athletes and body builders look so sculpted with defined musculature? Well, there are a lot of factors at play to create a well-toned body and amino acid <a href="http://leanmeanbodybuilding.com" target="_blank">body building</a> is one practice that seriously pumped up athletes rely on. Amino acids are often called the building blocks of the human body in layman’s terms but they are really the molecular building blocks that create protein.</p>
<p>Protein is one of the most essential components that create strong healthy muscles which is the reason why many athletes in strength training will indulge in amino acid body building, usually in the form of supplements and pushing weights.  Protein also fuels the health of your hair, nails, ligaments, tendons, central nervous system and even how your muscles retain water for maximum elasticity and strength.</p>
<p><span id="more-63"></span></p>
<p>Reasons for Taking Supplements</p>
<p>Many body builders have discovered that without enough amino acids in their system, the body tends to feed on its own muscles when faced with the crisis of not enough energy. This has led to the interest of amino acid body building to ensure that the body has plenty of fuel to build muscle rather than cannibalizing on it.</p>
<p>Serious body builders will take amino acid supplements either in a protein shake or pill form immediately after hard muscle exercises. This moment in time represents a unique opportunity to introduce amino acid into the body while the muscles still have optimal blood flow and is most amenable to nutrients. This timing takes a knowledgeable athlete to understand why amino acid body building can be very important.</p>
<p>Supplements: The Popular Ones</p>
<p>Glutamine is one of the most popular in amino acid body building because it is plentiful in the muscles and is known for promoting muscle growth. Arginine is another amino acid that is beneficial to your amino acid body building practices. This particular amino acid kicks off the growth hormone in your body and helps regulate the metabolism of the muscles, building bulk. Fat decreases while your connective tissue, cartilage and bone strengthens under amino acid body building practices.</p>
<p>Supplements are important as these days people are slacking on their diets and not getting enough proteins, which means not enough amino acids. Without these helpful body building blocks, you would eventually become weaker and lose muscle tone. Therefore, stick with amino acid body building and you will discover that your muscles will not only get the workout they need but that they are also growing larger, creating the telltale body builder sign of a sculpted muscles.</p>
<p><strong>Get up off that couch and join the fitness revolution. Make exercise and a healthy diet part of your daily  routine, you will be surprised at the difference it will have on your life.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you walk through any health or nutrition store you will notice that there is a enormous number of <a href="http://leanmeanbodybuilding.com" target="_blank">body building muscle supplement</a> products on store shelves. The sheer volume of products is overwhelming and their popularity is quite strong. While many people are familiar with the fact that these products exist, they may not be aware of how these body building muscle supplement products work. Unfortunately, because these products are in such fierce competition with one another they have a tendency to employ a ton of over the top advertisement campaigns so as to stand out in the marketplace. Unfortunately, a number of these ad campaigns leave the false impression that there is a miracle out there that will maximize ones ability to grow muscle.</p>
<p><strong>The Truth About  Muscle Supplement</strong></p>
<p>First, what must clearly be understood about these supplements is that no body building muscle supplement is a miracle product. There is no product that will magically burn fat and enhance muscle growth while eliminating that pesky need for working out. Sure, there are a number of products with wild over the top ad campaigns that make these grandiose promises, but these products are less than honest and even less successful in terms of actually delivering what they promise.</p>
<p><span id="more-49"></span></p>
<p>The products out there that fall into the body building muscle supplement category are essentially one of two things known as mass gainers and whey protein supplements. A mass gainer is a drink that provides a massive amount of calories in liquid shake form so as to help someone who is having difficulty gaining weight the ability to gain weight without packing on fat. What whey protein does is that it provides the body with quality protein so as to aid in the repair and growth of muscle after a solid exercise program. While this description of these products may make them sound mundane, it is also an accurate assessment. Again, there is no body building muscle supplement that can provide any miracles so avoid looking for them. Instead, keep your feet grounded to the earth and look for those products that provide an honest and sensible result.</p>
<p>These products are not necessarily expensive and are generally quite effective. Of course, some brands are a little better than others and then there will also be issues of personal taste involved in the selection that you make. But ultimately if you stick with legitimate products you will achieve the results that you desire.</p>
<p><strong>Get up off that couch and join the fitness revolution. Make exercise and a healthy diet part of your daily  routine, you will be surprised at the difference it will have on your life.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Garlic has been known for its beneficial effects in many cultures and in recent years garlic supplements have become increasingly popular.</p>
<p>The ancients knew of garlic’s powerful infection-fighting properties. Nostradamus, the famous 16th century seer and physician, was credited with saving many lives during the Black Plague, by stringing garlic cloves around the necks of his patients. Some regard this account as more legend than fact, but modern double-blind clinical studies have shown that garlic is a natural antibiotic that kills 27 different pathogens. These are impressive credentials for such a humble, everyday plant.</p>
<p><span id="more-9"></span></p>
<p>Other modern studies prove that garlic normalizes cholesterol levels on a par with the leading pharmaceutical alternatives, but without undesirable side effects. This is certainly good news! A review of controlled trials to assess garlic’s ability to reduce cholesterol in 1993 showed that it significantly reduced total cholesterol when the equivalent of half to one clove of garlic per day was used. Despite this, most people will opt for a pharmaceutical antibiotic or cholesterol-lowering pill over chewing a piece of garlic, due to the unpleasant social issues!</p>
<p>Garlic supplements now usually counter the bad-breath effect with other plant additions to the formula, such as parsley. The combination of garlic and parsley do away with the halitosis, while still giving you the healthful benefits.</p>
<p>When you buy a garlic supplement, look for a brand that specifies a guaranteed potency on the label. Allicin is the component of garlic that is responsible for killing germs and lowering cholesterol. A cheaper product may not necessarily be worth your while. If the garlic supplement is made from garlic from various sources, one batch may contain more allicin than another, so you cannot be assured of its relative effectiveness in a given dose. Garlic supplements with a guaranteed potency assures that each capsule contains a specific amount of allicin.</p>
<p>One Japanese company has a patented garlic formula, Kyolic (which is cold-pressed, ensuring that none of the volatile oils are lost and that the potency is high). The patent also covers a process whereby no garlic smell issues from your mouth and no stomach irritation occurs. The Kyolic line of garlic supplements comes in several formulas to best address your particular condition, such as the immune system booster formula of garlic and Echinacea.</p>
<p>Garlic or garlic supplements have been reported to thin the blood and prevent dangerous blood clots, to help prevent cancer and, in general, to have anti-aging effects.</p>
<p>If you are already taking an antibiotic or cholesterol lowering pharmaceutical medication, consult your doctor before using garlic supplements to be sure there are no adverse interactions between them.</p>
<p>You don’t need to be ill to add a garlic supplement to your diet. Garlic can help prevent illness by enhancing your immune system and works to keep your heart healthy even if you do not currently have heart or circulation problems.</p>
<p>Garlic supplements are one of the safest plant medicines. Studies have shown that people who consume large quantities of garlic over a lifetime tend to live to a ripe old age. One last tidbit on this illustrious member of the plant kingdom: if you’re suffering from toothache, a thin slice of fresh garlic placed on the gums adjacent to the offending tooth, will start to work immediately, killing bacteria. This will see you through to the dentist, but you’ll have to forget the social engagements for the time being!</p>
