All we from time to time are ill with this or that illness.The main thing should be defined what the reason of illness is and then it will be possible to make a decision what drug to use. Someone prefers to address at once to the doctor.Personally I for a long time am prefering not to address to doctors as they seldom helped me and at times even harmed.

I have decided to have medical treatment myself if it of course is not very serious illness.I had refered little bit to medical literature.What illnesses we collide with?

The reasons of illnesses are various and numerous.Their consideration naturally enough leads to classification of illnesses on following basic groups: 1) congenital defects; 2) infections; 3) infringements of a metabolism; 4)avitaminosis(vitamin insufficiency (deficiency); 5) tumoral diseases; 6) the illnesses caused by physical or chemical influences, poisons and an intoxication; 7) degeneration diseases; allergies.

Illnesses also classify to action on which organs or systems of an organism they influences.So, there are illnesses of digestive system, organs of breath or cardiovascular system. Almost all diseases fall under such classification. However mental frustration make a separate category as are connected with mental or emotional changes.

There are special group of diseases of still unknown origin (illnesses that amaze a lymph nodes, a leather,lungs, bones and other structures of an organism).

Illnesses of infectious character are rather numerous and often lead to fatal outcomes. Among them distinguish the diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, the elementary, worms and arthropods (in particular, insects). As a whole, the majority of infectious diseases is characterized by a number of the general attributes.

Treatment have radically changed basically with sulfamidic preparations and antibiotics(penicillin, streptomycin, etc.) So, absolutely differently, than earlier,it began to treat a tuberculosis, a pneumonia and a meningitis.

Infringements of a metabolism – very important group of diseases. Their reason can be infringement of such processes as digestion of nutrients, interaction between glands of internal secretion or regulation of development and use of hormones, synthesis of enzymes. In studying the nature of such illnesses the greater role belongs to chemistry and biochemistry.

Deficiency illnesses happen more often from lack of the certain vitamins B to food. Deficiency arising in an organism is caused by specific infringements (first of all processes of a metabolism) and the scurvy, a rickets and gout leads to such diseases, for example.

More often reason of disease are physical influences (warmly, a cold, a sunlight, compressed air, an electric current).

Allergic diseases are caused by the raised sensitivity or the certain substances, or physical factors, for example,to a cold or a heat. The most widespread allergic diseases – a bronchial asthma, red rash and a hay fever.

As a rule, illnesses have the certain displays (symptoms) which the patient can notice, for example a pain, rise in temperature, dizziness, a nausea or a short wind.

Carefully made analysis with the full description of all symptoms serves as the best help for statement of the diagnosis. Some symptoms happens that difficultly correctly to interpret, for example,to define the reason of weariness, a headache or tachycardia. It is known, that the organic reason of some symptoms sometimes long time remains not distinguished.

Nevertheless careful analysis,all the same, must result for us by target.

There are many medicines and drug on a market now and It is at times difficult to choose and it happens that it is impossible to find the necessary drug.

I now prefer to buy medicines online.I found web site where is good choice of the most effective drug. I recommend you to visit this site on reference.

When my husband was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, we were shocked, never even having suspected this illness. He had always been relatively healthy, and then one day he couldn’t eat anymore.

It all began a few months before the diagnosis. He felt an uneasy heaviness in his chest, but he couldn’t quite explain what it was to the doctor. Since my husband was in his late fifties, the doctor sent him for a stress test to check his heart. The tests came back well within the normal range, so the doctor wasn’t concerned.

Fast forward three months later, my husband vomited a few times in a week and he lost some weight. Then, suddenly, he couldn’t keep food or liquid down. From the first time he vomited until we had our doctor appointment, ten days passed and he lost twelve pounds.

We discovered with esophagus cancer there can be few or hardly any symptoms, and the ones that show up, typically heartburn, are sometimes ignored. He had had some incidences of heartburn throughout the years, but nothing that seemed significant enough to go see a doctor about.

By the time the symptoms created the weight loss, the doctor immediately ordered tests and we found out within two days there was a good possibility it may be cancer. This diagnosis was confirmed upon further testing and we were told they suspected the cancer had spread to the lymph system. There were two tumors on his esophagus and a larger tumor at the junction of the stomach and esophagus.

We were both incredibly shocked and stressed by the diagnosis, especially in lieu of the fact that we had three children, the youngest being eleven. We carefully weighed the options the doctors presented, and there were not many. There were traditional treatments, which both doctors recommended, and then there were alternative modalities which a friend of ours suggested. After meeting with the traditional doctors, we then met with a holistic doctor who outlined non-invasive treatments. My husband felt alternative medicine gave him a chance of having a better quality of life as opposed to doing the chemo and radiation treatments.

When friends and acquaintances found out we were not following the traditional medical route, some of their reactions took me by surprise. Even though medical treatment of any kind is a personal issue, we were openly questioned about our decision to pursue holistic methods. After being repeatedly questioned, I began to get defensive about my husband’s treatment any time it was brought up. We had decided what was best for him and I supported his choice 100 percent.

When people voiced their concern over our decision, I felt as if they were saying how dare we not do the best we could for him. I know in hindsight I was being overly sensitive, but I got into a few arguments—feeling as if I had to be on the defense. Due to my high stress level with the illness and being a full time caretaker, I was running on adrenalin all the time.

On one occasion, I even got in a yelling match with a friend of my husband’s in our house. The man had had too much to drink and questioned why we had decided not to do the chemo. He tried to convince us to reconsider. I told him it was our choice and we felt we were doing the best we would, but he would not drop the conversation. I told him that it wasn’t his business, and then he broke down and began to cry.

Sensing his real concern, all the fight left me as I put my arm around him while he cried. I had not wanted to fight with anyone, my whole concern was for my husband, but then I realized there were others who cared about us also, and who only wanted the best for him. They cared, but it didn’t make it any easier dealing with emotions pushed to the limits.

Perhaps it may have been better to simply tell people we were doing the best we could, using traditional and holistic means. Sometimes people just don’t understand the strain a family is placed under, while in the throes of a terminal illness.
