Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. Arthritis is not a single disease. Arthritis refers to a group of more than 100 rheumatic diseases and other conditions that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints.

Any part of your body can become inflamed or painful from arthritis. Some rheumatic conditions can result in debilitating, even life-threatening complications or may affect other parts of the body including the muscles, bones, and internal organ
The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis can affect anyone at any age, including children. The incidence of arthritis increases with age, but nearly three out of every five sufferers are under age 60.

If left undiagnosed and untreated, many types of arthritis can cause irreversible damage to the joints, bones, organs, and skin.

AGING -Why? How to Avoid by help of science.
(more ''articles'' on my BLOG pages!!)


WHY do we age??

The first is that our genes program ourselves to divide a certain number of times and once this division has reached the maximum number our bodies will begin to fail. This is the Telomar Theory. These are genetic elements that are controlling the number of allowable cell divisions.
The second is the general degradation of the neuroendocrine system. The neurological and hormonal systems that regulate the body finally wear out and make us susceptible to a host of diseases.
The third is that our body builds up so many toxins and other waste products that our systems begin to shut down. This toxic waste build up can even affect the structure of our genes.
The fourth is the wear and tear theory that living itself causes our joints and body parts to wear out.
The fifth theory is the free radical damage of aging. The body builds up free radical oxidants that damage our organs and our DNA causing us to age quickly.

The sixth theory is the glucose toxicity theory, which also has to do with waste build up, and the poor utilization and control of glucose within our physiological system.

The seventh theory of aging derives from the law of entropy that means that in the universal there is continual movement from order to disorder and that in our bodies this movement is marked by aging.

1.See Physiological Age NOT years!!
2.All your symptoms or problems may not due to Age??
3.Find cause .get experts for each problem or a good doctor GP.
4.Undertreatment –side effects fear!! is the main cause of delayed solution to your problems.Anything which has effect will have a side effect and which does not means it is mud!!
5.Function+Ability maintain/ increase!
6.Doctors -medicines effects / misunderstanding/ half knowledge?
7.Multiple+concurrant diseases-cognition/sensory/motor/organs/sense 8.Avoid immoboity-may take you downhill….from a minor acute illness or a trauma .




Most experts agree that there are three kinds of fitness:
Flexibility is the ability to move joints and use muscles through their full range of motion. Stretching is a flexibility exercise.
Aerobic (cardiorespiratory) fitness is the body's ability to use oxygen efficiently and depends upon the condition of your heart, lungs, and muscles. This type of fitness increases the amount of oxygen that is delivered to your muscles, which allows them to work longer. Walking is a type of aerobic exercise.
Muscular fitness includes building stronger muscles and increasing how long you can use them (endurance). Resistance training through weight lifting and body movements such as push-ups can improve muscular fitness.
Keep in mind that you may be fairly fit in one area (perhaps aerobic fitness) but just getting started with another (such as flexibility or muscle strengthening).

There are many more aspects of aging and we should find out what is the best of all .The main is the mind -mind it as it minds your body and itself too Love yourselves and seek help from all .Be a friend of all first of oneself,be social ,GIVE your time and resources for a cause and be busy..be self dependent in all spheres of life,work till you stop loving it or can afford to!! Seek professional advice from right doctor or net !!Keep open mind let good thoughts come to you all always ,forgive and forget easily be a child like not a child though,give up all your fixed ideas which restrict you and your loved ones,let them be THEM as YOU discover a new YOU..recharged and reenergised..The only thing permanent is the change accept most of it..and keep some things SAME for which YOu have lived and felt enlivened..keep the flame burning ..aging is just another change .

Definition Nephrotic syndrome is a group of symptoms including protein in the urine (more than 3.5 grams per day), low blood protein levels, high cholestrol levels, and swelling. The urine may also contain fat, which can be seen under the microscope.

Alternative Names

Nephritis

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Nephrotic syndrome is caused by various disorders that damage the kidneys, particularly the basement membrane of the glomerulus. This immediately causes abnormal excretion of protein in the urine.

The most common cause in children is minimal change Disease, while membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common cause in adults.

This condition can also occur as a result of infection, use of certain drugs,caner, genetic disorders, immue disorders, or diseases that affect multiple body systems including diabetes, multiple myeloma, and amyloidosis.

It can accompany kidney disorders such as glomerulonephritis, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, and mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis.

Nephrotic syndrome can affect all age groups. In children, it is most common from age 2 to 6. This disorder occurs slightly more often in males than females.

Symptoms


Swelling (edema) Facial swelling
General Foamy appearance of the urine
Around the eyes Weight gain from fluid retention
Swollen adbomen Poor appetite
In the extremities, especially the feet

Signs and tests
Physical examination can detect some symptoms. Other symptoms and signs of causative disorders can also be found with examination.

Urinalysis reveals large amounts of urine protein. Fats are often also present in the urine.


Tests to rule out various causes may include the following:


Glucose tolerance test Hepatitis B and C antibodies
Antinuclear antibody VDRL serology
Rheumatoid factor Serum protein electrophoresis
Cryoglobulins Kidney bopsy
Complement levels

The treatment of kidney can be quite successful with Homeopathy, often in conjunction with allopathic medicine in advanced cases. In early stages, particularly with acute renal failure, albuminuria ,Early stage chronic failure Uretic stone in kidney, bladder, or in uretic we can remover with out surgery, the success rate is close to 60% with appropriate compliance by the patient.
Currently we have over 200 active kidney disease various cases under treatment and this number reflects in the results of positive progress we are able to observe. Over the last 10 years there have been more than 8000 Kidney disease cases that reflect long term follow up of those cured, 35 to40 %. Unfortunately, many people first approach for Homeopathic treatment to Dr Harshad Raval, MD [Homeopathy] when the Kidney disease has advanced to a great extent, has recurred, or they have exhausted all other conventional means of treatment. In spite of this late start, these patients are offered improved quality of life and better prognosis. Many families report the patients to be living quite comfortably and leading an active life.
Our results have been confirmed by conventional laboratory testing, scans and ultrasound as positive. Throughout this treatment we ask the patients to keep scheduled visits with Nephrologists to monitor the progress. All our results are verifiable in this way. The treatment involves taking a dose of the Homeopathic medicine daily. The remedies are prescribed individually after an extensive interview. For detailed specifics of the protocol, it is advisable to read the book.
The term Integrative Medicine refers to combining modern Western medicine with the best of complementary and alternative medicines. When Integrative and alternative Medicine is used Kidney disease treatment it is often intended to address the emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of health as well as the biological.
For the Kidney disease patients, Alternative and integrative treatments can be aimed at improving overall health, preventing adverse effects between supplements and conventional treatments, decreasing overall side effects of conventional therapy, preparing a patient for dialysis and Transplant surgery, and addressing the challenges of living chronic renal failure disease
