Gallstones are lump of solid matter in the gall bladder and they form when there is a too much cholesterol or pigment in the bile. They start off as tiny globules that can grow up to the size of an egg. Gallstones are one of the most common disorders and are usually found in fat, fertlie famales.usually they are unsymptomatic ( called as silent gallstones which may never require treatment) .
Gallbladder is a little pear shaped organ underneath the liver that stores bile. Bile ducts are the tiny tubes that carry bile a liquid that helps
the body digest fats from the liver to the gallbladder and then into the diagestive systems
While u can live with gallstones with no Symptoms if they start to block the gallbladder they cause pain and nausea vomiting and potentially fatal infections.
They can also stop the flow of bile out of the gallbladder and liver, so it backs up can causing jandiuce.

Headaches and Homoeopathic treatment
Pain in the head area due to a variety of intracranial disorders or due to psychogenic causes is termed as a headache. There are twelve categories of headache including tension headaches, migraine headaches, cluster headaches, sinus headaches and headaches due to raised intranial pressure.
About 70/80 percent of all headaches are classified as muscle contractions or more commonly tension headaches which are not always caused by emotional tension but can also be caused by muscle strain, poor posture and from too much of eye strain. The pain is usually constant and generlized but often radiates forward from the occipital region and is described as a dull, tight or band like sensation around the head. They rarely cause serious long term problems unlike migraine and cluster headaches.
Migraine and cluster headaches are called vascular headaches. In this type of headache there is initially an intense spasm or constriction of the blood vessels in the brain that reduce the blood flow to the brain resulting in the migraine aura nausea dizziness and altered vision which precedes the attacks of migraine. This is then followed by vasodilation of the same arteries resulting in an excessive blood flow to the head, causing the throbbing headache. Seventy of the migraine sufferers are females. Cluster headaches are short lived, lasting less than an hour, unlike migraines. They occur in predictable clusters, three to eight week Periods during they may strike several times a day.
Many food items can trigger off migraines it is known that chocolate or the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) stimulates an attack. MSG is found not only in Chinese food but also in frozen foods.canned foods, and dry soups and many other processed foods as well. Chemicals like nitrites which are used to preserve meat and smoked fish can also trigger migraines even if present in small amounts. Foods such as cheddar cheese pickled herring and red wine contain tyramine, which is a chemical compound that cause headache.
Ask the patient to avoid exposure to excessive to heat, cold or rain. Avoid washing head in cold water.
The person should be kept free from emotional factors like anxiety anger and worry.

Prostate benign enlargement
This is seen commonly in men over the age of fifty years of age. The prostate gland produced a fluid that keeps the sperm healthy and mobile. It is placed just below the bladder and is the size of a chestnut, with the urethra ( the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the tip of the penis) passing directly through the middle of it. Swelling of the prostate gland may lead to just some discomfort and is completely harmless, but occasionally it can cause progressive obstruction to the urinary flow if swelling is pressing down on the urethra. No one knows the real cause for the enlargement of this gland, though hormonal change is believed to be contributory.
In this condition there is a gradual increase in the volume of urine that remains in the bladder after micturition and so there is a frequent desire to urinate, though each time the quantity of urine passed is not too much and the person has to wait with complaints of disturbed sleep since he has to wake up a few times at night also to pass the urine. There may occasionally be some interferance with the passage of urine and the patient may complain of an interrupted flow. In rare cases haematuria may occur due to urethral bleeding.
Cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol consumption may be contributory to the prostatic enlargement and so one should stop smoking and drinking.
Homoeopathic medicines

Clinical significance of prostate. Specific Antigen ( P.S.A.)
PSA is a glycoprotein produced by the cells of normal prostate gland. Although PSA is mostly found in semen, a small amount is also found in the blood. Most men have levels under 4 nanograms per miliiter of blood
The level of PSA above 4 ng/ mL is suggestive of prostate cancer but as the same time it is worth mentioning that prostate cancer was detected on biopsy in about 15 percent of men with a PSA below 4 ng/ mL. If the level is in the borderline range between 4 and 10 there is 25 percent chance of having prostate cancer while if it is more than 10 the chances are over50 percent which increases as PSA level increases.
Percent free PSA
PSA occurs in 2 major forms in the blood, one is attached to blood proteins while other circulates free. The percent free PSA test shows how much PSA circulates free compared to total PSA level. The percentage of free PSA is lower in men who have prostate cancer than in men who don't.
In patients with prostate cancer, less than 20 percent of the total PSA is in free from, while with BPH over 20 percent of the total PSA is free and not bound to alpha 1 antichymo tripsin.
If the PSA results are in borderline range( 4_10ng/ mL) a low percent free PSA ( less 10 percent) means the chances of having prostate cancer is about 50 percent a biopsy is advisable.
PSA velocity
The PSA velocity is not a separate test. It show how fast the PSA rises over time. Even the total PSA value is not over 4 ng/ mL ,a high PSA velocity suggests that can cancer may be present.if it goes up faster than 0.75 Ng/mL per it is considered high, and a biopsy should be considered.
PSA density.
The PSA density ( PSAD) is the serum PSA value divided by volume ( size) of prostate gland ( with transrectal ultrasound) A higher density ( PSAD) indicates greater likelihood of cancer. The percent free PSA test is considered more accurate in comparison to PSA density.
A PSA result within the borderline range might be very worrisome in a 50 years old man but cause less concern in an 80 years old man.
It is known that PSA levels are normally higher in older men than in younger men, even when there's no cancer. It is advisable to compare PSA results of the patient in question with results from other men of the same age. But the usefulness of age specific PSA ranges is not well proven.
Factors affecting PSA levels

Immune system
What is immune system. ?
The immune system is the part of our body that protects us from the constant atack of bacteria and viruses in our body. The bone marrow, spleen, liver, thymus, lymph nodes and white blood cells are the main soldiers that protect our immune system from this kind of an onslaught.
One of the most important things for a strong immune system is the right kind of lifestyle, proper diet and a good nutrition. Our bodies are currently attacked by hundreds of toxic chemicals and pollution everyday. We are also exposed to a wide variety of bacteria viruses, fungi and parasites that keep on forming newer breeds each time which again is a result of an exposure to our human advancement technology like radiology, harmful chemicals antibiotics etc.
The cells and organs of each human being is made different from another since the body requires a system of recognition that protects it from all that is foreign and maintains the uniqueness of each person. These cells and organs of the body constitue the immune system. E.g. If the white blood cells that roam throughout the body find out some foreign body, they attack it and remove it from the body. That is why organ transplant patients must have their immune system suppressed or else the body will recognize the foreign tissue and attack it.
Antibiotics are nowdays highly overused making the body not only depend on them but also contributing to being one of the main and most common causative factors for reduced immunity. Common illness have now become more and more difficult to treat, because of the newer, complex and more powerful strains of bacteria and viruses formed due to the abuse of these antibiotics.
One should help teach the body how to fight an illness by using more natural and non toxic means of treatment and also by taking in good nutrition and a balanced diet.
Food nutrients and lifestyle factors which boosts the immune system.
When trying to get recover from on illness, one should learn to take in more of fluids Water soups, and sugar free drinks like vegetables and fruit juices and unrefined foods
The leaves of young barley ( jau) and wheat plants are rich in beta carotene, B vitamins magnesium and potassium boosting up the immunity.
Exposure to sunlight for about twenty minutes every day has shown to have immune enhancing and is also rich source of vitamin Deficiency.
A shortage of magnesium will lower the number of white blood cells especially the T which results in weakened immunity. So eat a rich in magnesium to boost up the immunity. Magnesium is found especially in apples, apricot, avacodos, bananas, brewer's yeast, brown rice dairy products figs ( anjeer) garlic, green leafy vegetables kelp, seafood sesame seeds tofu wheat and whole grains.
Selenium This is a trace mineral that also helps to boost up the immune system, depending on the soil content selenium can be found in Brazil nuts broccoli chicken, brown rice liver meat onions seafood tuna vegetables wheat germ and whole grains.
Zinc
A deficiency of this mineral will impair the immune system greatly. Sources of zinc are brewer's yeast egg yolk fish legumes lima beans mushrooms, oysters pumpkin seeds whole grains.
Beta carotens
Should be taken in doses of about 30 milligrams per day about two months to enhance the immune system.
The roots of plant Echinacea purpurea when taken in the form of an infusion are useful to boost up the immune system and are best used against viral infections like cold flu and in chronic vaginal yeast infections. One should use this herb only when you need it and not on a daily basis since its immunostimulating activity when decreases. Echinacea should not be used with HIV patients or in persons with autoimmune disorders
