			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no specific drug to cure dengue fever. So, things you can do to help cure people affected by this disease are:</p>
<p>    * Give a febrifuge or paracetamol.<br />
    * Apply heat for not too high. Compress should be done with warm water, not with cold water or ice. Cold water can cause shivering patient so the body gets hot.<br />
    * Drink lots of water. Patients with DHF usually dehydrated, so water is very good for them. Water can also help reduce the heat. In addition to water, can also provide liquid oral rehydration salts to help healing.<span id="more-24"></span><br />
    * Meals are nutritious. Actually there are no dietary restrictions for patients with DHF. Provide nutritious food for the body to be strong and to fight dengue virus. Fruits and vegetables can be very helpful for recovery.<br />
    * Drinking water guava leaf and red yeast rice can help raise the platelet.</p>
<p>Treatment can be done at home if conditions are not bad people and allowed by the doctor. However, it takes care in maintaining them. You should also continue to consult with your doctor and do blood check every day to find out his condition. Hospitalization may be an option if you feel it is more secure because the medical action can be taken immediately if the patient&#8217;s condition decline is also possible given intravenous fluids to increase patient.</p>
<p>The things that harm from dengue disease due to infection with this virus can cause blood platelets drops to very low. Which then will cause the blood vessels become deflated, so that fluid leaking blood into the body cavities and cause bleeding in the ear, nose, or skin that can lead to death.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no secret that many men are afraid to commit or get married for fear of restraint of liberty. But it turns out that marriage provides many great benefits for men&#8217;s health.</p>
<p>Research on the relationship between marriage and men&#8217;s health is already done since the beginning of the year 1858 conducted by William Farr, the British epidemiologist.<span id="more-23"></span></p>
<p>Weddings and beneficial to the health of men is very closely related and there was no doubt. By getting married will make the stress hormone cortisol levels, thereby reducing the possibility of reduced male disease<br />
Chronic and make a person healthy living longer.</p>
<p>The hormone cortisol may accelerate the formation of arterial plaque that will lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease. In addition, stress is also associated with various health problems that promote inflammation and can trigger autoimmune disease.</p>
<p>A study was conducted in 1996 with the title of Marital Status and Mortality: The Role of Health regarding the relationship between marriage and men&#8217;s health.</p>
<p>Disebutkankan married men aged 50-70 years had a lower death rate than people who are not married.</p>
<p>This in because men who are married tend to be less involved in risky behaviors such as consuming alcohol and also not taking care of themselves. Also if she already has a child will behave more healthy.</p>
<p>&#8220;Although marriage can make someone very stressful, but it will be easier for the person to handle stress in their lives,&#8221; said Dario Maestripieri, a professor of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago, as quoted from AskMen, Friday (29/10 / 2010).</p>
<p>Based on the research known to potentially affect many aspects of marriage in one&#8217;s life such as the tendency to take risks, psychomotor function and coordination and cognitive performance.</p>
<p>Other findings from Fhionna Dr. Moore, a psychologist from Abertay University found that a man who have low cortisol levels would make men become more attractive to women. In addition, marriage can also increase feelings of self-esteem, confidence, reduce anxiety and depression.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had an uncontrollable urge to be pierced by a dozen needles? This is the image most people get when someone mentions the word “acupuncture”. It comes as no surprise that most view this technique with suspicion, even downright horror. The fact is, however, that this relatively painless ancient Chinese technique has helped relieve the symptoms of millions of people. Properly used, it can help in the management of many medical conditions including chronic pain and fatigue. <span id="more-19"></span></p>
<p>How does needle puncture work?</p>
<p>Practitioners of Chinese traditional medicine believe in energy flows. This energy, called Qi, circulates around the body using pathways called meridians. Meridians run very close to the surface of the skin in certain areas and can be accessed by needles. Much like plumbing, these pipes can get blocked or go the wrong way, causing health problems. The insertion of needles at these points is aimed to help loosen blocks and normalize flow.</p>
<p>It sounds like a made-up explanation with no basis in reality, but there are numerous scientific studies which support the effects of acupuncture. Although the exact scientific basis is still unknown, recent theories seem to suggest involvement of complicated neurochemical effects in the brain, nerve to spinal cord impulse modulation, and microscopic connective tissue changes.  </p>
<p>What risks and side effects are of concern?</p>
<p>The use of things not completely understood for the treatment of medical conditions is nothing new. Penicillin and aspirin were used for decades solely on the basis of their beneficial effects, without doctors knowing exactly how they worked. Results are what are truly important. However, it is equally important is to ensure that the technique is used safely.</p>
<p>Like other strategies used in treating health conditions, acupuncture may have some side effects. Medications have side effects and allergic reactions, surgeries have risk of infection and complications. For needle puncture, there is a risk of injury, rare infections, minor bleeding, small bruises, and some dizziness.</p>
<p>You can minimize the possible side effects by choosing a licensed acupuncturist. Most countries either have government licensing in place or have professional organizations with very strict rules and regulations. </p>
<p>How do treatments go?</p>
<p>An acupuncturist will do an initial evaluation of your medical history and your body’s current state. Multiple pressure points are palpated, and a regimen of treatment is formulated. Most courses involve a series of 10 to 20 treatment sessions, each lasting 30 to 90 minutes. Needles will be carefully placed at the required points and kept in place for some time. Most patients report a feeling of mild sensation at the site of the puncture, but no real pain.</p>
<p>Right after each acupuncture session, you will feel a bit tired and may need to rest. Some people feel an increase in their energy levels. The response to acupuncture is very individual. In some cases there is immediate relief of symptoms. For some patients, the beneficial effects may only be noticed after undergoing a few sessions. Do not be alarmed and keep your acupuncturist updated on what you are feeling to ensure everything is going as expected.</p>
<p>You need never fear the thought of needles ever again. Acupuncture is a beneficial treatment with a long history of effectiveness. It is used to complement current medical therapy and should not replace currently existing medications or treatments.</p>
<p>The safe application of this once exclusively Chinese therapy can now be experienced by chronic disease sufferers worldwide.</p>
