Cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. Cancer often has the ability to spread throughout your body.

Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States. But survival rates are improving for many types of cancer, thanks to improvements in cancer screening and cancer treatment.

SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms caused by cancer will vary depending on what part of the body is affected.

Some general signs and symptoms associated with, but not specific to, cancer, include:

Fatigue
Lump or area of thickening that can be felt under the skin
Weight changes, including unintended loss or gain
Skin changes, such as yellowing, darkening or redness of the skin, sores that won't heal, or changes to existing Moles
Changes in bowel or bladder habits
Persistent cough or trouble breathing
Difficulty swallowing
Hoarseness
Persistent Indigestion or discomfort after eating
Persistent, unexplained muscle or joint pain
Persistent, unexplained Fevers or night sweats
Unexplained bleeding or bruising
When to see a health care provider
Make an appointment with your health care provider if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that concern you.

If you don't have any signs or symptoms, but are worried about your risk of cancer, discuss your concerns with your health care provider . Ask about which cancer screening tests and procedures are appropriate for you.

CAUSES
Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells. The DNA inside a cell is packaged into a large number of individual genes, each of which contains a set of instructions telling the cell what functions to perform, as well as how to grow and divide. Errors in the instructions can cause the cell to stop its normal function and may allow a cell to become cancerous.

Angina is a term used for Chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Angina is a symptom of Coronary artery disease. Angina is typically described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in your chest.

Angina, also called Angina pectoris, can be a recurring problem or a sudden, acute health concern.

Angina is relatively common but can be hard to distinguish from other types of Chest pain, such as the pain or discomfort of Indigestion. If you have unexplained Chest pain, seek medical attention right away.

SYMPTOMS
Symptoms associated with Angina include:

Chest pain or discomfort
Pain in your arms, neck, jaw, shoulder or back accompanying Chest pain
Nausea
Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Sweating
Dizziness
The Chest pain and discomfort common with Angina may be described as pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. Some people with Angina symptoms describe Angina as feeling like a vise is squeezing their chest or feeling like a heavy weight has been placed on their chest. For others, it may feel like Indigestion.

The severity, duration and type of Angina can vary. It's important to recognize if you have new or changing chest discomfort. New or different symptoms may signal a more dangerous form of Angina (unstable Angina) or a Heart attack.

Stable Angina is the most common form of Angina, and it typically occurs with exertion and goes away with rest. If chest discomfort is a new symptom for you, it's important to see your healthcare provider to find out what's causing your Chest pain and to get proper treatment. If your stable Angina gets worse or changes, seek medical attention immediately. We do a full body scan first to locate the root cause of any health problem . Contact us on 0844644287

Edema is swelling caused by excess Fluid trapped in your body's tissues. Although Edema can affect any part of your body, it's most commonly noticed in the hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs.

Edema can be the result of medication, pregnancy or an underlying disease — often Heart failure, kidney disease or Cirrhosis of the liver.

Taking medication to remove excess Fluid and reducing the amount of salt in your food often relieves Edema. When Edema is a sign of an underlying disease, the disease itself requires separate treatment.

SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms of Edema include:

Swelling or puffiness of the tissue directly under your skin
Stretched or shiny skin
Skin that retains a dimple after being pressed for several seconds
Increased abdominal size
When to see your health care provider .
Make an appointment to see your health care provider if you have swelling, stretched or shiny skin, or skin that retains a dimple after being pressed. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

If you've been sitting for a prolonged period, such as on a long flight, and you develop swelling and pain in a leg that won't go away, call your doctor. Persistent leg pain and swelling can be a sign of a blood clot deep in your veins (Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT .

Acute kidney failure occurs when your kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from your blood. When your kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of wastes may accumulate, and your blood's chemical makeup may get out of balance.

Acute kidney failure — also called acute renal failure or acute kidney injury — develops rapidly over a few hours or a few days. Acute kidney failure is most common in people who are already hospitalized, particularly in critically ill people who need intensive care.

Acute kidney failure can be fatal and requires intensive treatment. However, Acute kidney failure may be reversible. If you're otherwise in good health, you may recover normal or nearly normal kidney function.

SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms of Acute kidney failure may include:

Decreased urine output, although occasionally urine output remains normal
Fluid retention, causing swelling in your legs, ankles or feet
Drowsiness
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Confusion
Nausea
Seizures or Coma in severe cases
Chest pain or pressure
Sometimes Acute kidney failure causes no signs or symptoms and is detected through scan done for another reason. We do a full body scan first to locate the root cause of any health problem and we treat with our natural health products which are 100% natural and organic no side effects .
