Sean’s analayis

Sean Mackey, MD, PhD,Stanford University conducted this research by experimenting with a little medical dose of naltrexone on ten women that had been suffering from the disease of fibromylgia for a decade.
The women spent the first two weeks in testing the severity of their condition. The symptoms of the ailment were scientifically analyzed and noted down. A handheld computer made penning down easy and simple. The laboratory tests produced precise results of the disease and gave a clear picture of the maturity and severity of the disease. It also gave an insight about the reaction to heat and cold environ.

All the ten women had consumed a placebo drug regularly for a week although, they were not aware about it. At the end of the week the women were given naltrexone drug instead of placebo pill for a stipulated period of eight weeks which they consumed everyday once a time. And the last two weeks of their stay as subjects were spent without consuming placebo or naltrexone.

The women incessantly noted down their conditions and symptoms in an effective manner and the medical examinations continued for a span of fourteen days.

Reactions while taking placebo and naltrexone

When the women were taking the drug placebo the results clearly depicted a sharp decline of 2.3% in the severity of the ailment as compared to the rankings that were maintained since the inception of the experiment.

After the women switched to consuming naltrexone it was clearly observes that thirty percent decline of the symptoms was observed and recorded by the team of researchers.

The drug (naltrexone) helped the women is displaying better tolerance towards hot environ and not cold stiumulus.

Conclusion of the experiment

As stated earlier ten women were taken as subjects and out of these ten women six women responded positively to naltrexone drug. The side-effects were well noted and it was seen that it was absolutely mild in nature.

The study concluded that two women were seeing flamboyant dreams while the study was conducted and one of the subjects suffered from insomnia and nausea after consuming the pills in the first few weeks.
This study can be read and seen online at Pain Medicine. It is a small yet an accurate study that clearly spells out naltroxene doses is a promising and a hopeful drug. The researchers are now gearing towards a fresh analysis of the effects of low dose of naltroxene on thirty patients suffering from fibromyalgia.

A lady named Suzanne Andrews was aware that she suffered from erectile dysfunction from day one when her husband Glenn who is fifty three years old tried to make out with his forty six year old Suzanne.

Suzanne was unaware about the cause and cure of erectile dysfunction (ED). Her occupation had made her the anchor of a show called Functional fitness that was shown in WDSC television. Her profession made her face challenges and all she wanted was a solution for this problem that was hampering her married life.

Erectile Dysfunction – its spread

The ailment of erectile dysfunction is a widespread disease that has affected at least 15-30 million people living in USA. This disease is rampant in men above the age of forty years. This disease is defined as the powerlessness to attain or even establish an erection required for the sexual intercourse. This disease is increased by the presence of stress, depression or hormonal imbalance in the body.

According to Ira Sharlip MD, urologist in the San Francisco states that there is adequate evidence that the ailment of erectile dysfunction is one of the reasons for heart related diseases.

Cardiovascular disease and ED

Sharlip states that your husband or partner should be medically examined for any heart related disease if there is the presence of a consistent ED issue that has lasted for more than a period of ninety days.

New studies have indicated the connection between ED and a host of other disorders like diabetes, high levels of cholesterol and rising levels of hypertension. Thus a clinical check up is a must. Embarassment is one of the reasons why men shun away from medical scrutiny. If ED occurs then men would have to transform their lifestyle to prevent cardiovascular diseases to occur.

Guidelines to approach men

Bedroom talks are must for all the couples according to Marianne Brandon, PhD, clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and author of Reclaiming Desire. Discussing and talking about sexual intercourse is normal and facilitates the relationship in many ways. The man would be confident and feel at ease if the woman tries to listen and understand his problems. A patient listening and a lending ear would help.

Talking is a great way of communicating as it helps in discussing problems verbally. It may be initially complex for couples to talk about this topic but as time passes they will realize that the bedroom conversations would help them overcome their problems and frustrations.

Brandon establishes that conversations should start on a positive note hence showering praises are the best way to initiate talks with your partner. Andrews has candidly confessed that communicating her feelings about love and affability has helped her tremendously. Supporting and understanding your partner would help in solving the problem in one of the best possible ways. Hence, couples should resort to voicing their feelings and problems. Verbal conversations help in overcoming problems especially sexual problems.

Both men and women suffer from this deadly and widespread disease. It has concluded that women suffering from colon cancer have a longer life-span than men who have the same disease at the advanced stages. But as women start growing older the chances become bleak as there is decline in the estrogen levels.

Earlier research states that women have lesser chances than men to develop this painful and deadly disease as the diagnosis of the disease generally happens at advanced stages.

New research on colon cancer

Researcher Heinz-Josef Lenz, MD, of the University of Southern California has confirmed that estrogen enhances the chances and results of premenopausal women and catalyzes the cure of cancer in a refined way. Young women have better and magnified chances of getting cured from colorectal cancer as compared to men. This conclusion has been drawn by Lenz who works at the colorectal cancer center at USC’s Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center/Keck School of Medicine.

Lenz and his analyisis

In USA approximately 150,000 fresh cases of colon cancer have been acknowledged and in 90% of the cases it occurs to people above the age of 50 years as per ACS – American Cancer Society. The disorder is very nasty when younger adults suffer from this cancer.

Lenz and his colleagues have examined data from a gigantic cancer research institute that has a national presence and they conclude that around 53,000 patients were treated between the year 1988 and 2004 that were ailing from colorectal cancer. The chance of survival is very diverse between men and women. Women that are less than forty years old have better longevity than men of the similar age.

Ratio of Survival

The chances of survival are equal if men and women are between forty five years and fifty years. If women are above fifty years and if the cancer is well spread in the body then men have better chances of living than women. The research was conducted in all the various ethnic tribes and gender discrepancy was magnified amongst young patients that were treated after the year 1999. This assessment has been displayed in Clinical Cancer Research journal. Younger women have refined chances of benefiting from the drug than men as there are assorted options of cure.

The role of Estrogen

No one knows how estrogen shields against colorectal cancer as there are many theories relating to it. It is a fact that as women grow old the levels of estrogen becomes lower and this acts as impediment and facilitates the tumor to grow and create damage to them.

According to American Cancer Society Director of Prostate and Colorectal Cancers Durado Brooks, MD the assessment is very interesting but the logic needs to be scrutinized as it would be beneficial in treating colorectal cancer. He has announced that it is too premature to state whether estrogen along with chemotherapy sessions will cause a path breaking change in the treatment or not. Current studies focus on hormone replacement cure that aids in eliminating the chances of developing the deadly disease.
