A. The condition called Osteomalacia is one where there is a significant softening of the bones in your body. It is usually caused by a vitamin D deficiency. In children, this condition is known as rickets. The concern is that Soft bones are more likely to bow and fracture than harder, more healthy bones.
This is similar, yet different from, osteoporosis, which is a another bone disorder that can also cause bone fracturing. Osteomalacia occurs when the bone-building process in our bodies does not perform correctly, while osteoporosis develops later because of a weakening of previously constructed bone.
Some of the symptoms of osteomalacia are achy pain in the bones and muscle weakness. Typically treatment involves increasing the amount of Vitamin D and calcium in addition to treating any underlying disorders that may be contributing to the deficiencies.
People who have both inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D and little exposure to sunlight have the highest risk of developing this disorder. Therefore the risk is highest in older adults as well as those who rarely get outdoors such as people who are housebound or hospitalized.
Insufficient sunlight is the cause of many problems. Sunlight is truly indispensable to our good health and peace of mind. Many people hide from the sun and deny themselves of the sun�s healing powers. They fear the sun�s damaging ultra-violet rays. History tells us the human race evolved and thrived under the light and energy of the sun.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of osteomalacia, or if you think that you may be at risk for this disorder.
For those who are seeking a healthy solution to many issues, but don't believe that medicinal solutions are the best way to go, let me point you to an alternative care website that will shine more light on these matters.

in what stage of kidney cancer can you physically feel it?
Q. just wondering, at what point in the kidney cancer can the person actually feel a lump or be in pain?
which stage/how bad?
which stage/how bad?
A. I had a 10.5cm tumor as part of a 15cm mass that had no overt symptoms ie. I could take off my shirt and the RN/Physician could not feel it. There is no blood test that will detect it. Also I had no pain or
blood in my urine. I had some mild fatigue but was very active and worked two jobs. I was being treated for a vitamin D deficiency and I had a very slight increase in my calcium level. My physician was testing me for a possible thyroid problem, and the results of that testing came back normal. A CT scan was done - and that's when the whopper tumor was discovered. It was technically a stage 3,
but within 4mos of my nephrechtomy it had metestazed to my bones, and a few months ago I had to have my right humerus<upper right arm bone>removed and replaced with a plate and cement...
My worst systemic pain was when it had spread to my arm ie. it ate up over half my arm bone and cause microfractures to the bone, and my arm bone was on the verge of snapping. I reacted to the anesthesia then too - and lost 50lbs. in body weight. Sometimes a person will not even discover they have kidney cancer until such an advanced state.
About 3% of all new cancers reported in the USA and the UK are Kidney cancers, so it's somewhat rare. Twice as many men contract it as women. About 1/2 of Kidney cancers involve a defect of the VHL gene. Obesity and Smoking are risk factors<I am not obiese and had quit smoking cigarettes about 5 years before discovering it - and I do have distant ancestors born with Kidney defects> It tends to not respond to traditional chemotherapy, but does respond to immunotherapy drugs like interferon. In early stages it is rather easily curable via surgery, which is what is so frustrating. Finding it an early stage cures it, but it's often tough to find.
Some people have symptoms at an early cureable stage, but quite a few of us don't have any symptoms...so if there's a history in your family and/or you're just concerned, I'd get a CT scan.
I'm now considered terminal, but if I had not been scanned I would have likely died several months ago. I'm still a fighter, and I'm active, and I haven't given up hope. . I would like to see this cancer defeated - and the key is simply early detection and better ways to detect it.

Is taking a bath every night before going to sleep can cause Anemic?
Q. some one told me, so i get conscious cause I take a bath every night. I just want to confirm if what he said is true?
ok genuis, im waiting for your answers.
ok genuis, im waiting for your answers.
A. Tell your mate that they're full of shit.
They probably just don't want to have a bath everynight because they don't have the same regard for personal hygiene and comfort that you do.
I love taking baths - it feels so good after a long day.
Anaemia is caused by poor Iron levels in your blood.
It can be caused by hormonal changes, notably an excess of the hormones, such as Prolactin, that causes women's breasts to grow and lactate (but this can be a symptom too... It can cause lumps, which should always be attended to as soon as possible and the excess hormones can also be caused by stress, which can also be a symptom, so it's a tough one...) and certain vitamin deficiencies, notably B vitamins.
Unless it is due to hormones, it is usually linked to diet and is predominantly found in women as they need extra Iron for menstruating and the fact that there are more vegatarian and vegan women than men.
Not enough Spinach...
Bet Popeye wasn't anaemic, but Olive Oil certainly looked like she was.
I wouldn't've wanted to ask Popeye to share his spinach with me, though... He'd probably of...
Anyway.
Anaemia is NOT caused by relaxing and washing in a bath every night.
If you *are* worried about it, you can alter your diet or take the Vitamin B and Iron complex available from most health food shops to top you up. (Though that's never a good substitute for a poor diet)
So now you can keep enjoying your bathing without worrying that you are going to become anaemic and relax into the pleasure of taking a bath.
And have the pleasure of telling your friend that they are very, very wrong.
Genius.

56 year old man unable to lift up left leg. Also has Type Two Diabetes which is under control.?
Q. Unable to lift leg independently but can do so using his hands to lift it up. One doctor diagnosed it as "muscle Dystrophy" or said it might have something to do with degenerating nerves.
Any help on the diagnosis and remedy would be very much appreciated.
Any help on the diagnosis and remedy would be very much appreciated.
A. Muscle weakness has been associated with a vitamin D deficiency. Nerve degeneration is associated with a vitamin B12 deficiency.
"Researchers found that 40% of type 2 diabetes patients using metformin had vitamin B12 deficiency or were in the low-normal range for the essential vitamin. And 77% of metformin users with vitamin B12 deficiency also had peripheral neuropathy, a common form of nerve damage associated with type 2 diabetes."
"Peripheral neuropathy is a type of nerve damage most often characterized by pain, tingling, and numbness in the hands and feet."
"Because peripheral neuropathy is such a major complication of diabetes, researchers say the results suggest that people using metformin be screened for vitamin B12 deficiency or supplemented with vitamin B12. Also, anyone already diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy who uses metformin should be screened for vitamin B12 deficiency."
I used 30,000 mcg (30mg) per day methylcobalamin for ten days, then 10,000 mcg (10mg) per day. It took a couple of months, but all symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are gone.
"Poor muscle strength and weakness may be associated with vitamin D deficiency, which is common among elderly people".
