      This website has well written ebooks educating people who are diagnosed with cancer and don't know what to do.


      http://www.vitalcancerinfo.com

      As a cancer patient, you expect your doctor to explain everything you want to know but in reality this never happen. At most you are given five to 10 minutes to consult your doctor. I thought that this website gives a good source to help one understand their situation and guide them through on what to do next.

          Lots of different causes, but one of the most common is hypertension. So is high cholesterol and diabetes. But there are other non-preventable causes like genetics, age etc.

              Most impt got to know what is the cause that will got stroke. Deal worth the root cause..

              My colleague used to very worried to get stroke too when she is very stress on work as she got hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol and some liver issues.. but now she is recovering well from the above, cutting down her medication from the strongest to minimum.. and we are looking forward that doc will discharge her from diabetes in her next check up.. happy for her... :rahrah:

              Try to eat healthy n do exercise everyday.. jiayou!

                In my limited medical knowledge (relatively extensive research done when i encountered my own medical scare), diabetes still can't be cured but it can be managed via lifestyle changes and medication.

                Type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are chronic diseases. They do not happen overnight but via a long term abuse to the body system mostly from food/beverage choices (exercise does help but what you eat/drink is more important). Gradually the system gets weaker and weaker and finally confirmed 'damaged' and can't work as it was anymore and so needs medication to help it work.

                All subsequent efforts (diet, exercise, medication, etc) to maintain the system is more on 'management' to prevent the system from deteriorating with little that can be done to make the system back to it's healthy form (eg, difficult to repair damaged blood vessels due to high blood / high cholesterol, and the best choice is to make sure it doesn't deteriorate further to result in a stroke).

                The moment one starts a medication for any of these chronic diseases = a lifelong medication as the system begins to get use to this external help and gradually loses its own ability to work (dependent/crutched). So the best bet is to prevent these diseases from hitting you by watching what you put into your mouth (esp for those above 40 yo as the body metabolism is never the same as before. Of course the best is to start from young with good diet habits of less meat, less salt, less sugar, low fat, etc diet. Kids consume far too much meat nowadays and this is worrying for their future health development.).

                I think it will still take many years to develop a 'cure' for diabetes and the rest.

                  How to handle the last part of the journey?


                  I will try to make full use of the limited time, if I still have the energy, to clear whatever I have to clear in my house slowly (if by then I am still having the wardrobes of clothes, shelves of books, many pairs of shoes, etc).
